LOUIS OFFON Gji:|ELICKE,
of German£,
The Greatest of llumAil' Benefactors.
Citizens of North and South America,
To Louis Offon Goelicke. Cvl. D., of Germany,
[Europe,] belongs the impetus j able honor of adding
anew and precious doctrine I iithe science of medi
cine —a doctrine which, thoug j vehemently opposed
by many of the faculty, (of \ li.ich he is a valuable
member,) he proves to Lc as well founded in truth
as any doctrine of Holy Writ -hadoctrine, upon the
verity of which are suspended the lives of millions
of our race, and which he bol Ry challenges his op
posers to refute, viz: Consumption is a disease al
ways occasioned by a disorcle|i‘ed state of \ is \ ito;
(or Life Principle) of the hutfian body: (Tj 3 often
secretly lurking in the system for years before
there is the .east complaint olj pie Lungs <UX—and
which may be as certainly, though not so quickly,
cured, as a common co.d or a sifaple headache. An
invaluably precious doctrine |;iis, as it imparts an
important lesson to the apparently healthy of both
sexes, teaching them that thL-i j insidious foe may
be an unobserved inmate of thi|ir*‘ clayey houses”
even while they imagine thcapolves secure Irom
Cs attacks, teaching them thal|b c great secret inthe
art of preserving health is to out the disease
when in the blade, and not iroC! till the full grown
ear.
This illustrious benefactor tjCman is also entitled
to your unfeigned gratitude, I the gratitude of a
world,for the invention of hi matchless Sanative,
—whose healing fiat may jusltc claim lor it such a
title, since it has so signally [triumphed over our
great common enemy, both in
the lirst and last stages,—a kedicine which has
thoroughly filled the v acuum i*ljJie Materia Medica,
and thereby proved itself the jj|r Conqueror of Phy
sic ians Jff) —a medicine, for|?yhich all mankind
will have abundant cause to ipess the beneficent
hand of a kind Providence,-41. medicine whose
wondrous virtues have been so|glowingly pourtray
ed even by sirae of our cierg| : in their pastoral
visits to tee sick chamber : bv which means they
often become the happy instrujnentsot changing de
sponding into hope, sickness ii| £j) health, and sad
of friends into joyfulness j

mines of Austria, or even the] united treasures ot

which, though designed as a r medy for consump
tion solely, is possessed of a i ysterious influence

Profession in Genoa) yi f n Europe.
Wo, the undersigned, practiJjoncrs of medicine
in Germanv, arc wed aware trial, by our course',
we may forfeit the friendship c'll some of tin tacul- I
ty, but not of its benevolent members, who are un- |
influenced by selfish motives. Li hough we shall
refrain from an expression of j’ljur opinion, eitoer
~f the soundness or unsoim IneDi of Dr. Goelick’s
new doctrine, we are happj todjay that we deem
his Sanative too valuable nc-(| to be generally
known —for what our eyes bqijiold and our ears
hear, we must believe. ’ •
We Hereby state, that wh|h Dr. Louis Offen
Goelick first came before the bberman public, as
the pretended discoverer of a n|» .v doctrine and a
mew medicine, we heid him i|* the highest con
tempt. Uelieving and openly prcMouucing him to be
a base and the prince iji quacks. But, on i
hearing so much sai l abed the Lanaiivc, against it
and for it, we wore induced, frupji motives of curi
osity merely, to make trial of |]ts reputed virtues
upon a number of our most hopeless patients; and
we now deem it our bound hi | Tuty (even at the
expense of self-interest' publi«||v to acknowledge
its efficacy in curing not only?; consumption, but
other fearful maladies, which have heretofore
believed to be incurable. Ouiij contempt for the
discoverer of this medicine was? jit once swallowed
up in our utter astonishment asi these unexpected
results; and, as amends lor ourlsabuse of him, me
do frankly confess to the world],l that we believe
h.im a philanthropist, who does I:j|aor to the profes
siin, and to our country, which rjlve him birth.
The recent adoption of this ijlidiicine into some
of our European hospitals, is a 'jlifficieut guaranty
that it performs all promises, jit needed not our
oMimony, for wherever it is uses? it is its own best

DR. JAYNE’S
OLEAGINOUS HAIR TONIC.
Copy of a letter from Dr. S, S. Fitch, dated
Pun \delphia. May 10, 1838.
DR. JAYNE —Dear Sir, —I feel that I can
hardly say enough to you in favor of Jayne's
Oleaginous Hair Tonic, prepared by you. My
hair had been falling off about two years, and had
become very thin, threatening speedy baldness,
when I commenced using this remedy. In about
one week, it ceased to fall off. i hav-e used it now
about three months, and have as full and thick a
head of hair as I can possibly desire. I have
recommended its use to a number of my friends
who all speak well of It. If faithfully employed’
I have no doubt ot its general success. I may add
that before using the Tonic, I had iried almost all
the various articles employed for the hair, such as
the Macassar Oil, all the different preparations of
Bear’s Oil, Vegetable Hair Oil, &c. Ike., without
experiencing much, if any, benefit. Respectfully
yours, S. S. Fitch, No. 172 Chesnut street.
yrjTßefore Dr. Fitch used this Tonic his ha r be
gan to be gray, but since then there is not a gray
hair to be found on his head.
Philadelphia, May 11, 1838.
Dr. Jayne —Dear Sir,—l cheerfully and with
pleasure submit the following to you, with the
liberty of your making it public, should you have
the desire: —For several months past my hair had
been rapidly falling off, so much so indeed that by
passing my fingers lightly through it, 1 could obtain
a quantity in my hand. I had tried all the fash
ionable nils of the day, without having received
the slightest sensible benefit. The only resource
that seemed left to me, was to have my head shav
ed and wear a wig. Having, through a friend who
had profitted by its use, heard of the remarkable
cures effected by yne’s Oleaginous Hair Tonic,
sold by you, I was induced, as a dernier resort, to’
try it. 1 have used two bottles, and am pleased to
sajq that alter a few applications, my hair ceased
entirely from coming out, the young hair made its
appearance in great abundance, and that now I
have a fine, luxuriant growth, and believe it to be
the best remedy ever yet discovered. A fair trial
will be its best recommendation. Independently
of its virtues as a restorative and preventive, it
imparts to the hair a fine healthy, glossy appear
ance, rendering it soft and flexible, which will
make it an invaluable acquisition for the toilet of
every one at all desirous of beautifying that great
est of adornments of the face—the hair.
Returning my most sincere thanks for saving
me from premature baldness, by the use of the
above Tonic, I am, dear Sir, your obedient servant,

Copy of a letter from the Rev. C, C. Park, Pastor
of the Baptist Church at Haddonfield, N. J.
Haddonfield, N. J., Feb. 12, 1539.
Dr. D Jayne,—Sir—l lake pleasure in inform
ing you that the bottle of Jayne’s Hair Tonic,
which 1 obtained of you last October, has proved
most satisfactory and successful. My hair had for
a long time been exceedingly thin. But for two
or three years past it had so fallen out that my
head had become almost entirely bald. I was un
der the necessity of concealing the baldness by
combing the hair on the sides over it. But now,
after using about half of a bottle of the “Tonic,”
1 have as luxuriant growth of hair as I ever had.

Letter from Hon. Mark A. Cooperto Go
vernor McDonald.
W ashington, 20th March, 1840.
To his Exc'y. Charles J. McDonald,
Governor of the State of Georgia:
Sir—l had the honor to receive your commu
nication of the Blh inst., covering the preamble
and resolutions of our legislature, approved the
24th ot December last. These have been for
warded to us pursuant to instructions of the Le
gislature. They contain a request that their re
presentatives here would endeavor “to have the
act of Congress, passed on the 12th February,
1793, to carry into effect the second section of the
4th article of the Constitution of the United
States, so amended as to authorize the demand
ot a fugitive, in the cases contemplated, to be
made upon the Circuit Judge of the United States
haying jurisdiction in the State wherein such fu
gitive may be found. 2dly. To require said
Judge,” thereupon to issue his warrant, directed
to the Marshal ot the United States in such State,
requiring him to arrest the person therein named.
3dly. i’o require said Marshal “forthwith to
execute the same. 4thly. To make it obligatory
on said District Judge to surrender the fugitive
so charged and demanded, to the Executive of
the State or Territory where the offence is alleged
to have been committed.” A respect at all times
due to the opinions and acts of the Legislature
of the State we represent, has commanded from
me that careful and diligent examination of the
subject, which its gravity demands.
The evils, which the proposed amendments are
designed to remedy, exist in the following state
of facts. In May, 1837, a slave named Atticus,
the property of James and Henry Sagurs. of Sa
vannah, Georgia, was conveyed from Georgia to
Maine, by Daniel Philbrook and Edward Kelle
ran, citizens of Maine. The former was Master,
the latter, Mate, of the schooner Boston. This
vessel had recently entered the port of Savannah.
On the 1 6th June, of that year, James Sagurs,
on his oath, applied for and obtained from a ma
gistrate of Chatham county, Georgia, a warrant
for the arrest of Philbrook and Kellcran, charged
with “a felony under the laws of Georgia;” to
wit, that of inveigling, stealing, taking and carry
ing away without the limits of the State of Geor
gia, the slave Atticus. On this warrant, a re
turn of “not to be found in the county of Chat
ham,” was made.
On the 21st of this month. Governor Schley,
of Georgia, demanded of Governor Dunlap, of
the State of Maine, the persons of Philbrook and
Kellcran, charged with the said offence, as fugi
tives from the justice of Georgia. A copy of the
affidavit, warrant and return thereon, accompani
ed this demand.
The demand was made by virtue of that clause
of the constitution, to enforce which, federal le
gislation is called for. It reads thus:
“A person charged in any State with treason,
felony or other crime, cvho shall llee from justice,
and be found in another Stale, shall, on demand
of the Executive authority of vhe State from
which he fled, be delivered up, to be remaved to
the State having jurisdiction of the crime.”—2 d
sec. 4th art.
To this demand, Governor Dunlap replied, de
clining to cause these fugitives to he delivered up.
This act of his was, in December, 1837,declared,
by the Legislature of Georgia, to be “dangerous
to the rights of the people of Georgia, and direct
ly and clearly in violation of the plain letter of
the constitution; that the State of Georgia be
came a party to the Federal Constitution, no less
for the protection of her own, than the common
rights and interests of all; and that when these
ends are defeated, she is released from the obli
gations of that compact; and it has become her
right and her duty to provide protection for her
people in her own way .”
The same resolutions directed the finding of an
indictment, which should become the foundation
of a renewed demand of those fugitives—which
demand being again refused, should make it the
duty of the Governor of Georgia to transmit those,
resolutions to the Legislature of each State, and
to the Senators and Representatives in Congress.
They also declarce, that if the Legislature of
Maine, at their next session thereafter, should
“ neglect to redress the grievances complained of,
then that the Executive of Geojgia announce the
same by proclamation, and call a convention ol
the people to take into consideration the state of
the Commonwealth of Georgia, and devise the
course of her future policy, and provide all neces
sary safeguards for the protection of the rights of
her people.”
On the 7th February, IS3B, an indicimem
against Philbrook and Kelleran, charging them
with a felony, was verified by a Grand Jury of
Chatham county, Georgia- On the 27th of
April thereafter, Governor Gilmer, the successor
of Governor Schley, made a demand on Gover
nor Kent, the successor of Governor Dunlap. A
copy of the indictment, and of the proceedings
it was founded on, accompanied this demand.
On the 25th of June, Governor Kent declined
to deliver up the fugitives, so demanded by virtue
of the Constitution and laws of the Union.
On the 19th of August, 1839, Governor Gil
mer addressed Govern >r Fairfield, the successor
of Governor Kent, desiring to know the course
Maine had adopted on the subject of the resolu
tions of the Legislature of Georgia. He receiv
ed for answer, that their Legislature deemed it
inexpedient to legislate on the subject, since it
belonged to their Executive depgftment.
In 1793, Congress passed a law, declaring by
whom, on whom, and in what manner, a fugitive
from justice, under the 2d sec. 4th article of the
United States Constitution, should be demanded,
in these words, to-wit:
“That whenever the Executive authority of
any State in the Union, or of either of the Ter
ritories, North, West or South of the river Ohio,
shall demand any person as a fugitive from jus
tice, of the Executive authority of any such
State or Territory, to which such person shall
have fled, and shall moreover produce the copy of
an indictment found, or an affidavit mode before
a magistrate ot any State or Territory as afore
said, charging the peison so demanded with hav
ing committed treason, felony, or other crime,
certified as authentic hy the Governor or chief
magistrate of the State or Territory from which
the person so charged fled, it shall be the duty of
the Executive authority of the State or Territory
to which such person shall have fled, to cause
him or her to be arrested and surrendered, and no
tice of the arrest to he given to the Executive
authority making such demand, or to the agent
of such authority appointed to receive the fugi
tive to be delivered to such agent when he shall
appear.”
By the laws of Georgia, feloniously taking and
carrying away a slave is a crime, punished by
confinement at hard labor in the Penitentiary.
Under this state of facts, the evil we are under
seems to be this: That the property of the peo
ple of Georgia may be stolen and carried to a sis
ter State with impunity ; That the authorities of
the State to which the thief shall flee, will pro
tect him agasnst pursuit, and against the justice
of Georgia, inthe face of the Constitution.
The law of 1793 has been strictly pursued.—
■ If that couid give virtue or validity (o the de
mantis of the Governor of Georgia, then was none
wanted. Still it appears, the law is disregarded,
and the Constitution of the country violated.
Are .constitutional obligations weak 1 And
have they ceased to be a rule of duty 1 Or is
the law of 1793 defective in such particulars as
are susceptible of amendments rendering it inef
ficient 1
The law is defective in this : It is merely de
claratory, carrying no sanction with it. It pre
scribes a duty on an Executive of a State, which
Congress has not power to do. It is therefore
nugatory —not binding on a State, and cannot be
made so by an act of this Government. So has
the Governor of Maine considered it. This
would be true of any law that might be attempt
ed on the subject. Could those who passed that
law have been ignorant that all laws imposing
duties, or commanding an act to be done, are nu
gatory or inetheient without a sanction 1 Why
then did they not direct what should be done
with a State whose Governor might refuse 1 —
The only answer is, that they then held, what
we now believe, that a State cannot bo coerced,
in a case where she exercises the right of judging.
But your Excellency and the Legislature think
there is an amendment, which this Government
is competent to enact, that would he efficient, or
might remedy the evil. 0.» this subject I have
the misfortune to differ with yourExcellencyar.il
the Legislature, in such sort as that duly to those
I represent, and to the supreme law I am sworn
to support, requires me to decline presenting the
resolutions, or attempting to procure the propo
sed amendments.
You say that the third resolution, “if carried
out by an act of the federal legislature, will de
prive the authorities of any State of the power
of refusing to surrender a fugitive upon dem: ml
because the act charged upon him as a crime may
not be recognised as a crime in a State or Terri
tory to which he may have fled.”
The principle here assumed by your Excellen
cy, is one I cannot act on. believing, as I do, that
Congress cannot deprive the States of any pow
er they may have. This stipulation in the 2d
sec. 4th art. of the Constitution, is nothing more
than an agreement between the State, evidenced
by the solemn forms of the federal compart; and
os a result of our form of government, the federal
power has no authority to enforce it, or punish
its violation. Its execution rests with the States’,
and will be observed with fidelity,or broken with
indifference, according as the State called on may
feel or disregard the obligations of her constitu
tional engagements. In the case before us, Maine
seems not to feel, but to disregard her obliga
tions. This, if other parties to the compact were
not interested , would probably lead to hostilities,
being just cause for war between nations.—With
us the effect is the same, unless averted, should
the people of our State refuse to submit to this
denial of their right of properly.
Assuming that the evil arises from a defect of
the law of 1793, you propose to alter it so as to
require the “ demand” to be made on the judicial
officers of this Government, instead of being made
on the officers of the State. To enforce the “ de
livery” you propose to use the Judge’s warrant
in the hands of the U. S. Marshal. And by th«
3d resolution, on which you place so much reli
ance, it is proposed, “to make it obligatory on the
said District Judge to surrender” the fugitive.
In doing this, you must provide that, in his
judgment, it is right he should be surrendered*,
(or thinking he ought) that the Supreme Court
shall not overrule him ; and that the State would
first suirentier the man to him, or (refusing) that
the President and Congress would give the array
and navy to command him into his custody. All
these provisos involve important principles, most
of which we disavow. Vet they are distinctly
couched in the policy of the preamble and reso
lutions.
Lpon what do they go 1 Evidently on these
grounds : That Congress may give to the Fed
eral Judges jurisdiction over this subject. 2dly
'l hat the State to be acted on, will snbmit. 3dlv.
If she refuse, that the Federal Government will
drive her to it.
By the preamble it is maintained: That this
2d sec. 4th art. is a “ conventional” agreement
between the States; That the “ Sovereign States,” -
gave to the Federal Government “all the pow
ers necessary and proper,” to regulate their “ in
tercourse ; ’ I hat the pursuit and arrest of a
“fugitive from justice,” is a part of that inter
course And that it is “necessary and proper”
that the Federal Government should have the
power to do what you propose to ask them to do.
h rom these positions, is then asserted the exis
tence of such power, and we are thereupon re
quested to invoke its aid.
This inference of “powers,” by what is deem
ed “necessary and proper,” when no power is
specified or enumerated, is at variance with the
idea of limited and delegated “ powers.” It is
therefore repudiated.
I cannot conceive that the “intercourse” to be
regulated by this Government, between the “Sov
ereign Stales, can properly be alleged to refer to>
the demand of a fugitive from justice, guilty of
14 treason’ for cxampls., This would be mere
“ sovereignty” in its most essential point.
This “conventional” agreement is required by
the terms of it, to be carried out by the Stales, or
their authorities. They have the right to say
who those authorities shall be, ai.d under their
sense of obligation and duty, to judge when au.
alleged fugitive shall be delivered.
By the Constitution, no jurisdiction is given
to the Federal Courts over this subject. By a
law of Congress you cannot give it; and if you
could, it would not be oesirahle.
This jurisdiction cannot be inferred from the
specification in regard to controversies between
States, “since it is to prevent a controversy that
you would give this power to the Federal Judae,
and thereby deprive the State of the power to re
fuse, Controversies like this are not within the
meaning of the Constitution.
I he protection, of the citizen is first due frem
the Stale; and to her his allegiance is primaiiiy
to be paid. Any law changing this telation, un
provided for by the Constitution, is void.
In making it “ obligatory ” on a Circuit Judgs
to have the fugitive surrendered, on a demand
made of him by the Executive of a State or Ter
ritory, is it not perceived that you bring that Go
vernment politically in collision with one State,
at the instance of another 1 Was this ever con
templated 1 Give the Judge the power necessa
ry to fulfil hits obligations, and do you not sub
jugate the State ? Without that power,, is not
the law as inefficient as it now is I When no
resistance could be made to the Federal Court it
is not to be supposed the State would refuse to
deliver at the demand of a State^
But by giving this power to the Circuit Judge,,
thus to deprive a State of the power to refuse, you.
necessarily give him the power to decide adverse
to the demand- Can you suppose that he who.
is educated into all the prejudices and sympathies
ol those around him, residing in the community
ofyour adversaries, sharing their bounty, and
partaking daily of their hospitality, possibly call
ed to ofliLe from party considerations—could fail
to be influenced, by the same arguments, mo
tives, and incentives, which have induced the
