SPIKI V OF THE TIMES.
“ It never hits happened in the world,
and it never will, that a democracy has
been kept out of the control of the fier
cest and most turbulent spirits in the so
ciety. They will breathe into it all their
own fury, and make it subservient to the
worst designs of the worst men ; and the
more free the citizens, the bolder and
more profligate will be their demagogues,
—the more numerous and excentric the
popular errors, and the more vehement
and pertinacious the passions that de
fend them.”
These are the words of one of the fra
mers of ourfederal constitution, — a states
man and a patriot,—and among the first,
if not the most distinguished, of the ora
tors which this counter has produced.
He thought, wrote, and spoke not for the
passing hour, but for lime and for pos
terity—and his opinions, on more sub
jeefs than one, will stand the lest ofboth.
We beg leave to enquire of those who
have had more leisure to bestow on the
subject than ourselves, —is there any cx
• ample in ancient or modern history of a
monarchy or despotism being originally
established by the consent of the people r
Or is there an instance in civil or political
annals of free government passing into
either of these forms, unless through the
gates which anarchy has previously o
pened ?
We make the enquiries for the purpose
not of gratifying curiosity, but of gain
ing instruction. There is something in
the spirit of the times, and in the course
and character of a dominant faction in
this country, which augurs not well for
the permanency of the institutions under
which vre live. It is not important to
enquireinto the motives of this party, nor
to determine on the objects it now has in
view. The question is as to the inevitable
tendency of its principles and practices,
be the motives ami objects what they may.
It is an important question; not less wor
thy of the serious attention of the friends,
than of the enemies of the present admin
istration. Nay, it addresses itself with
peculiar force to the former. To the
honest portion of them, therefore, we
would make the appeal, and cull upon
them to pause and reflect. What is it
you do? Are you willing to sue the sys
tem by which you propose to elect Mr.
Van liuren President ncrmaqcntly estab
lished in this country? Are you willing
<nat persons holding office under (he
Federal Government—(he mere pension
ers on the bounty of the Executive—shall
hereafter and in all future time, designate
the individual whom you shall vote for
as Chief Magistrate? Are you willing that
the President for the. time being shall
hereafter use bis personal influence, and
the patronage of bis office, in procuring
the nomination ami election of Ins succes
sor? Are you willing that (he present
disorganizing doctrines which, reaching
to the utmost verge of universal suffrage, ,
strike a fatal blow at the rights of pro
perty and of persons ; and the present ,
system of vituperation and imllammatory i
appeals to the passions ami prejudices til ;
the people, shall hereafter he the ordinary
modes of conducting an election for the
highest and most responsible office in your
gift? Reflect upon it. These things can
not lead to gooil—and if your feelings
urc too much excited by this miserable
strife to allow one thought ns to your
own individual interests, —think of the
interests of your children, of those who
are to come after you, ami who even
party malignity must allow to be inno
cent.
Further than this—look to the present
state of your federal constitution. W here
are the checks and balances provided by
our forefathers for the security of (he
popular rights? Do you not see that the
different departments have been consoli
dated into one ? That the popular branch
of the Legislature has lost its indepen
dence under the discipline of party ; and 1
that the Senate has been brought to the
footstool of the Executive, through! the
operation of the same desperate and dan
gerous agent ? And are you ignorant of
the fact mat the judiciary department is
also bending before the same shrine,
where you have seen its chief officer
forced, absolutely forced into bis place by
the stern command of Executive authori
ty ? Look at things as (bey arc—survey
them with an impartial eye—and say,
calmly and honestly, is not the voice of
the President, to all practical purpose
and intent, — the voice of the constitution
and the laws ?
What can you hope or expect from this
state of things, either honorable to your
selves or beneficial to the country? Noth
ing but evil can come from it—and evil
will come from it. We have reached a
point which we cannot long occupy—we
must recede or plunge onwards. The
causes which have led to the ovetjabrow
of other republics are rife in the ItffiWt of
this. We nave passed through the differ
ent stagesof the ancient commonwealths.
We have had our Kings—our Lucius
Brutus—oar Consulship—our Slate Tri
kuneship—under the articles of confed
eration and since—but it is gone; and
the country, disturbed and exhausted hi/
civil dissensions — (“disco diis civilibus
fessa,” are the words of the historian,) has
reached the last stage when a military
Chief Magistrte became “ Chief of the
Senate." And what next? The answer
is contained in the first book of (lie An
nals of Tacitus.
“ After the death of Brutus and Cassius,
there was no one left to defend the Re
public. Its arms were in (lie bands of its
enemies. Pompev being utterly defeated
in Sicily,—Lcpidus stripped of bis com
mand, and Anthony slain, —none remain
ed of the old parties, but Caesar, and his
favorite, Octavius, whom he afterwards
nominated as his successor. Dropping
the name Republic, which had before de
signated the advocates of limited govern
ment, he assumed the more popular one of
“ Democratic Republican ”; declarin'*'that
the authority of a “ Representative of the
People'' —(for so he distinguished himself
as Chief Magistrate,) —satisfied bis high
est ambition ; — as the protection of The
people was his only aim. But when once
he had fixed himself in the affections of
the military byfiis liberality—won over
the people, by a careful distribution of
the spoils, which he controlled in virtue
of his office — and satisfied all parties by
the delights of peace, — he began cautious- ;
ly to rise in his pretensions step by step, i
adroitly seeking, under various pretexts i
of the public good, to consolidate the pow- t
erg of the Senate, —the jurisdiction of i
the magistracy, and the authority of the a
la as in bis own person. There were
none to oppose his machinations. The
most upright and determined of the old
Republicans bad died, or been driven
into obscurity by proscription and calum
ny. The rest were taken into favor, —
loaded with riches, and distinguished
with honors, according to the measure of
their self-abasement and servility. And
they who had thus made immense for
tunes out of the ruins of tbeirjcountry’s
liberties, preferred rather to enjoy them
iu peace as slaves, than to hazard their
loss by an attempt to regain their ancient
freedom. The Stales also, inflamed a
gaiust the Senate, —wearied with the
incessant contests between party leaders
—oppressed by constant exactions, —
and convinced of the insecurity of the
laws, —which were sometimes enforced
by the sword, and not unfrequCntly by
subornation and bribery, bailed the usur
per, and submitted without a struggle to
bis will.”

WHAT next.
We copy the following from a N. York
paper ‘
" Jl Aovel Suit. —lt is slated in sever
al of the papers that a suit lias been com
menced by U. Sedgcwick, Esq. on be
half, or at the instigation of the Anti-
Slavery Society, against (lie Hon. Rich
ard Hiker, Recorder of New York, for
the recovery of the penalty of five hun
dred dollars, to which he is alleged to
have made himself liable by disobeying
the writ de Iwmine repleg'uuidn, sued out
in the case of (lie claimed slave, Jesse
Collier, alias Abraham Gosloy.”
Is (his proceeding the result of a re
gard for the law, or does it emanate from
a spirit of religious frenzy and fanati
cism ? Arc lliese men frantic ? We
have not read (lie law, if such an one
there be, which fixes a line on a judicial
ofliccr, for a refusal to obey a mandate,
the authority of which lie does not ac
knowledge. Or, if the Recorder be re
garded as a mere ministerial officer, is
the writ dc. Iwmine replegiando such an
one as must be obeyed arbitrarily,—leav
ing no discretion, nojudginent to the of
ficer, cither as regards the jurisdiction of
Ihc court, or circumstances of the case f
Was it thus absolute at common law, or
has it been made so by statute ?
But be the legal questions what they
may, under the statute, it seems to ns that
under the Constitution of (he U. States
no Sinlo law containing such arbitrary
provisions can be valid, fs the question
of property triable before the tribunal
awarding the writ? If so, is the issue
of fact before tl le court or a jury ?
We have not bad leisure to refer to
authorities—nor do wo refer to the case
with the view of discussing the legal ques
tions. Wc copy the article for the pur
pose of pointing out (he wire-workers
behind the scenes. "At the instigation
oj the Anti-Slavery Socle///" of New
York! Is this foul spirit to pollute, not
only the pulpit and (lie press, but to con
laminate (lie ermine also? Are judges;
Mid politicians, and preachers, and edi
tors, all to be infected with its madness ?
What securities do they intend to leave
tor private right? If die judicial tri
bunals of the country arc to be tortured
into Anti-Slavery inquisitions, it is easy
to foresee what must bo (lie consequence.
These men are madly rushing on to their
own destruction. Like the Nazarciie
they may shake the pillars of the temple
of our liberty and Union, —but lijce him

JEFFERSON’S OPINIONS.
Among the many evidences of the
violence and recklessness of party, we
have seen none which equals in boldness
the attempt of Mr. Van Buren’s friends
to identify his principles with those of
Mr. Jefferson. The first important politi
cal question in which Mr. Van liuren
seems to have taken a part, was that of
the Missouri restrictions; did they agree
on that either as to principle or policy?
1/has been so declared ! But can any
man believe it ? Read the following
extract of a letter from Mr. Jefferson,
written at the period of the Missouri com
troversy:
“The Missouri question aroused and
filled me with alarm. The old schism of
Federal and Republican threatened noth
ing, because it existed in every Slate and
united them together by the fraternismof
party. 1 have been among the most
sanguine in believing that our Union
would be of long duration. I now doubt
it much, and see the event at no great
distance, and the direct consequence of
this question,
“ 1 bad for a long time, ceased to read
newspapers, or pay any attention to pub
lic attaint. But this momentous question,
like a fire bell in the night, awakened
and filled me. with terror. I consider
it at once as the knell of the Union. It
is hushed, indeed, for the moment. But
this is a reprieve only, not a final sentence.
“ Our anxieties in this quarter are all
concentrated in the question, what does
the Holy Alliance in and out of Congress
mean to do with us on the Missouri ques
tion ? And this by the bye is but another
mime of the case—The real question as
seen in the Slates afflicted with this
unfortunate proposition, is, are our slaves
to be presented with freedom and a dag
ger?—For If Congress has the power to
regulate, the conditions of the inhabitants
of the States, it will be but another exer
cise of that power to declare that all shall
be free."
With what accuracy did lie foresee—
with what a pervading vision did be look
into futurity ! The “ fire-bell in the night
that awakened and filled me with terror!''
Were there such a man now living in
Virginia, the wretched tribe of little
demagogues that infest her bosom would
be hushed into silence, and they who
have betrayed her interests and honor
would not dare to show their faces.
These were tho views of Jefferson, —
let us now look at (hose of Mr. Van Bu
ten. Hear what his resolutions, written
at the same period, declare to the world
After declaring, first, that “The consti
tution of United States clearly gives Con
gress the right to require of new Slates,
not comprised within the original boun
daries of (he United States, the prohibi
tion of slavery, as a condition of their ad
mission into (lie Union."—They proceed
as follows:
“ Therefore, resolved, That our Sena
; tors be. instructed to oppose the admis
-1 sion as a State, iotd the Union, of any
i Territories not comprised as aforesaid,
- without making the prohibition of slavery
- therein an indispensable condition of atl-
I mission.
f “On the 20th January 1820, the Sen-
I ate took .up the resolution, ami passed
- the same unanimously, the following
j Senators being present.
i “Messrs. Adams, Austin, Barnuin,
■ Barstow, Bowne, Childs, Dudley, l)ay
t ton, Ditmiss, Evans, Forthlngham, Ham
mond, Hart, Livingston, Lounsberry,
> Martin,’Moons, Mallory, Moore, Noyes,
Paine, Ross, Resencrontz, Skinner,
- Swart, VAN BUREN, Wilson, Young
> —30.”
I Now where is (be man whose judgment
t is so distorted as to view these opinions
■ as identical ? Does it not augur evil to a
> country when men are found so inflamed
by faction as to say that iliese principles
and opinions concpr! How Mr. Van
Huron could aver, on oath, that in bis
opinion, (he constitution of the United
s States clearly gives Congress tho right
to require of new States the prohibition
. of slavery,” we know not. Will lie con
descend to tell the people whose votes he
. is soliciting, by what strict construction
, of the constitution he obtained the right ?
. Will be condescend to explain the
~ grounds upon which lie gave that vote ?
. Will the people of the South confide their
, power into the hands of a man who as
r sects (hat Congress can prevent the ex-
I tension of slavery in (he immense coun
. try, yet untenanted, west of the Missis
sippi ? If they do, they will regret it.
i To the Editor of the U. S, Telegraph.
Sir: You profess to be a Virginian,
s and the friend of southern interests, and
- still (he Telegraph is constantly harping
I upon the prospects of General Harrison.
, The South can never vote for General
- Harrison. He entertains opinions upon
- all great leading political questions, di
i rectly at issue with the sentiments avow
t etl and sustained by the South. He is
- opposed to them upon the tariff, the bank,
- internal improvements, and even upon
f the negro question itself. For although
? he voted against the restriction of Mis
r souri, he is for (he abolition of slavery
and appropriating the public money for
’ that purpose. Pray, sir, what right has
t Congress to apply the public funds for
i any such purpose? Docs the constitu
’ lion recognize such a power, or is it one
* of the implied powers of the latitudinariau
I school ? I think it would puzzle you to
; establish any such power vested in Con
gress hy the constitution, either direct or
• implied. But, supposing it was, and that
! Congress should purchase all of the. south
ern negroes, what would become of the
- southern States?—Who would cultivate
i our cotton, rice, sugar, and tobacco ?
Would you substitute white labor?
Whence would you obtain it? Would
you import tho paupers of England and
Ireland for that purpose ? They arc too
lazy to work where they are, although
under the restraints and terrors of a mo
narchical government; and how could
we expect them to labor in a land of free
■ flora ? Only reflect what a state of so
-1 ciety they would produce, and tell me if
you arc willing that onr own fair Smith
should become the scenes of outrage and
not which would surely follow in (he
tracks of the outcast and profligate ? 1
know your heart will sicken at such a
contemplation, and (hat you will cling
more closely to our institutions as tiiey
are. Why do persons, who are in no
manner interested in our affairs, suggest
schemes to rid us of imaginary evils
which we do not feel, and which we be
lieve to bo essential to our prosperity P
Whenever the southern States feel that
slavery is an evil to them, either in their
social or political relations, they will free
themselves of it, without any interference
from their brethren of the non slavehold
. ing States, and without expecting or be
ing willing to receive any portion of the
national treasury for their property.
General Harrison may be, and un
doubtedly is, a very good man. It is not
to the man, but to his principles, we ob
ject. We oppose Mr. Van Buren for
the same reason. We care not a farthing
for any of the. officers of tho General
Government. We take no part nor in
terest in the disgusting scramble that is
going on for them. We are the advocates
■ °t great fundamental principles which
lie at the foundation ofmir Government,
and in sustaining them we lose sight of
, men and go for the country,—the whole
country, as we received it from our fath
ers who won it through seas of blood.

MR. CALHOUN.
I his distinguished Senator was recent
ly invited toattend a public dinner, given
to the Hon. F. W. Pickens, by his con
stituents. Wc subjoin his reply.
Fort Him,, 15th Sept. 1836.
Gentlk.mkx : I have been honored
by your note of the 24tb August, inviting
1 me to attend a public dinner to be given
to the Hon. F. W. Pickens, by (be citi -
zens of Edgefield, at the Central Springs,
in testimony of the approbation of his
constituents of his public conduct.
1 regret that the great distance, and
engagements with which 1 cannot dis
pense, forbid my acceptance of your in
vitation.
Your representative richly merits this
testimony of your respect, by the intelli
gence, abilities and zeal with which he
discharged his public duties. No one
could be more faithful to his trust. Per
-1 mit me to add, without intending in any
degree a compliment to myself, as hav
. ing been your former representative,
which 1 remember with proud satisfac
-1 (ion, that no portion of all this great
Union better deserves to be faithfully
served than yourselves. Old ninety-six
District has the distinction, and, as far as
I know, the solitary and proud distinc
tion, o( never having changed, by her act,
her representative in Congress, from the
begining of the Government to this day.
Every change of representative in the
District has been caused bv death or re
signation. In 48 years and 25 elections
you have never made a change, and no.v
you are about to make the 26th by a unan
imous vote; such has been the' caution
with which you have bestowed your con
fidence in the first instance, and such the
steadiness with which you have pres
erved your confidence when once bes
towed. If I had not the honor of having
my name on the list of those whom you
■ distinguished with your confidence, I
■ would add, that you have been served
• with a fidelity anil ability no less honor
, able to you representatives.
r That such a constituency should re
- member my past services, and continue
their confidence in me, after so many
- years in public service, in many and
1 various stations of high responsibility,
and during a most trying period of our
history, is to me a source of great satisfuc
, lion. Ifit has been my fortune to render
- any service to the State and Union, the
- merit is yours with the other portions of
, the District, which at an early period
, bestowed your confidence, and, by its
, continuance ever since, have cheered and
r sustained me in all the difficulties and
trials through which I have since passed,
t That you have thus afforded meanop
s portunity .of serving our country, which
a I trust, has not been entirely lost, and have
I sustained me in pursuing the course dic
s tated, as I sincerely believe, by duty and
i patriotism, will ever be remembered by
s trie with profound gratitude.
1 In conclusion, I take the liberty of ofter
t ing the following sentiment:
i Old Ninety-six District. —May she long
- retain her present proud distinction, of
e never having bestowed her confidence
n where it was not merited, and never
? having withdrawn it when once bestowed.
3 With great respect, I am
? Your humble servant,

i Dear Sift—lmul the pleasure, a few
evenings since, (as you will recollect,
- being present yourself,) of witnessing an
1 experiment made with the new invented
i machine called “The Cotton Planter.” It
; is my opinion that, as a labor saving-ma
chine, it must be ot incalculable value to
i the South generally-, and also to the South
, western States.
i Ibis remarkable machine forms a
ridge, opens it with a furrow, deposites
• the seed in the proper place in such quan
tity as may be required, and covers it
neatly, all with a single operation. It is
: so light and simple in its structure, as to
- need the power of about two horses and
one hand to manage it. Thus perform
ing with this apparatus the same work,
■ in the same time, which, as now managed
by the planters, require four ploughs,
four horses, and five hands. And lam
inclined to think that the work will he
better performed by the machine than in
• the present mode. With a confident
; hope id i<s success, I should be pleased to
see it introduced into oursection of coun
try as soon as practicable. Every sar
i mer, 1 have no doubt, who works some
s five or ten hands, will find it to his inter
i est to procure one of them.

i MARCH OF PRINCIPLE.
Returns JVmn all the counties, except
j four, lias reached us. The aggregate
| number of votes received by each candi
■ date, will be found above; from which
it may be seen, that the State Rights
party will, at least, have one Represen -
tative in the Congress of the United
States. In addition to this, wo have,
since the lyst general Congressional elec
tion, gained upon our adversaries, about
3000 votes. This must be highly cheer
ing to v tlie friends and advocates of con
stitutional rights, the only true cham
pions of liberty and Union.
The march of principle is slow, but
sure and steady. The people may, for
a long time, beled astray and deluded by
hunteys. office-holders, and their
brawling and interested partisans. But
the delusion cannot always last. The
paralysing effects of governmental mis- 1
i ule, will, sooner or later, become so op- 1
pressive as to awaken us to a sense of 1
our wrongs, and then, the application of !
the “ rightful remedy” will soon he
made.
_ " e cannot, it is true, congratulate our 1
1 arty upon a result more favorable than '
the one which has just transpired. In- J
deed when we reflect upon the powerful ”
opposition which we have had to encoun
ter in the extended influence of place- 1
men, and the overwhelming patronage of
the General Government, we are really 1 c
/
surprised at the rapid advancement of
our cause.—Enough has been accom
plished to assure us, that our struggle
will not now be a protracted one—ami,
this consideration slum Id stimulate us to
renewed exertions, and to redoubled vi
gor and vigilance. —Great revolutions in
public sentiment, arc the work of time.
, We must, therefore, patiently await the
reforming spirit of the age, which augurs
so well for the consummation of correct
principles. In the language of our own
1 Tiiour, we are “ engaged ou (lie side ol
f liberty, against a vicious ami corrupt
1 Government, and must eventually tri
i umph.”

THE MONEY MARKET.
The pressure upon the money market
1 in the city for two or three days, lias been
: unusually severe, notwithstanding the
' i Stale Bank lias been discounting very
I liberally. Stocks have fallen some in
’ consequence. The present pressure is
caused by various circumstances, among
* which is the great accumulation of the
surplus revenue in the Treasury not so
> judiciously managed as it might be, which
1 issoonto be distributed among these
: veral States. The money market has
r also been affected, and seriously, it is
• probable, by the recent movements of the
Bank of England, for there is now a great
Siathy between (bis, aiql the English
et. The recent elections in Penn
• sylvania, are also not without their effect
> upon thinking men, for it cannot be dis
guised, that it is almost the universal
opinion of mercantile men, that if an ad
ministration could be created which
. would leave the currency alone, the mbn
. ey market would be less subject to rauta
, tion—money more easily got at, anil bu
siness better. _

i MEXICO AND TEXAS.
: By arrivals last evening, we have learn
, ed that the United Slates schooner Dallas,
■ Captain Green, was run ashore on the
■ bar of Tampico, on the 22d ult. by the
i Mexican pilot of that place; and that she
• was entirely wrecked—tho sails, rigging,
I armament and officers being saved, and
■ brought here yesterday by the Creole.
, One of the crew died from exposure; and
> another was left dangerously ill at Tam
pico, with (he American consul. It is
t believed that the pilot bad secret orders
to wreck the Dallas, as she drew only 6
feet water; and there were Bon the bar
i —the wind being light and fair at the
, time. Affidavits on that subject will be
' presented to (he United Slates govern
■ ment. It is also reported that the Mexi
■ can government has ■ prohibited any A
i mcrican armed vessel from entering
> Tampico.
The schooners Indiana and Henrietta,
hence at Tampico, have both been seized
by order of the Mexican government, for
! violating the revenue laws.
There are now 6000 troops in the city
of Mexico, ordered to rendezvous at San
Louis de Potosi—whither the 1500 troops
remaining out of the 4000 at Matamoras
arc also ordered. These latter are in a
miserable condition; and almost mutinous
from want of pay, and the incursions and
plunder of the Camanche Indians, There
are 400 men also at Tampico. These
are expected to enter Texas late in No
vember, or early in December next.
The Texian army is encamped on the
Labaca river, in 2 brigades of 2200 men,
under Generals Rusk and Green. All
the men are volunteers from the United
States—the Texians having retired to
their farms, reported to be in high culti
vation with good crops. A Texian armed
vessel lately cruised along the coast of
Mexico, without meeting a Mexican ves
sel, The Texians are now equipping two
ai med vessels at Galveston, the schooner
De Kalb, to carry 18 guns; and the sebr.
Viper, lately the Passaic, of New Or
leans.

rescue Santa Anna have been liberated,

Line. — Hie Savannah Georgian, of 22nd
instant, says—“ Our readers will observe
an advertisement in our columns, by
which it appears that a Line has been es
tablished between this port and New Or
leans, by Messrs. Cohen and Millers,
merchants of this city, to be composed of
vessels of the first class; and command
ed by experienced masters in the trade.
The brig Kentucky, Capt. Paine, the
sebr. Tantivy , Capt. Pitcher, with anoth
er brig, will constitute the Line. These
vessels have good accommodations for
Passengers; and the Commercial Public
will also derive every facility requisite,
to forward their interest. We are grat
ified (o perceive that our enterprising
merchants are alive to the importance of
a regular communication between two
cities, whose commercial operations de
mand a closer affinity, than transient
vessels afford. Wc wish Messrs, Coh
kn and Miller complete success.

PILLS AND INJECTION POWDERS,
FOR the infallible cure of all stages of the
Syphilitic Disease, from a slight infection,
to the most virulent stage of the disorder, even
when attended with Headache, Pain in tin
bones, Blotches, Sore Throat, Enlargement of
the Shin and Skull bones, loss of Appetite, and
Universal Debility, &c. Witness the following
cases of cure:
A gentleman in Thomaston, was many years
afflicted, (thought incurable) with ulcers in his
throat, pain in his limbs, loss of appetite, univer
sal debility, and otherwise diseased, his life des
paired of, was restored to perfect health and
spirits by a few boxes of these Pills 1
A sea-faring man, suffered so severely from
this complaint for two years, as to be often de
prived of his rest, had pains in his limbs, soro
throat, headache, enlargement of the glands of
the neck, skull bone affected, a bad cough, no
appetite, entirely debilitated, and considered as
past relief, having tried other medicines in vain,
was cured, and restored to perfect health, by c
few boxes of those Pills:
A young man was recently entirely cured Irony
a bad stage of the complaint, by using the above
medicine (to less than S 3 value,) after receiving
the advice of several physicians, and using vari
ous celebrated medicines.
An invaluable property!—“l fed myself”

roughly cured, and believe this invaluable medi
cine ha? completely eradicated the complaint from
my system ; u property which I think this remedy
possesses beyond any other with which I am ac
quainted, and is a desideratum in my view,
which renders it above all price.”

with full directions, (so that persons of cither
sex can cure themselves,) encircle each box.
