VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS. j Tlie only known Medicine that at the same time Purges, Purifes and Strengthens the System. Dll. LeROY’S PILLS are a new medicine Which has just appeared, and is fast taking the places of all others of the same class. These pills are composed of many ingredients, but the two principal are Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry, so united as to act together; the one, through its admixture with other substances, purifyingand purging, while the other is strengthening the system. Thus these pills are at the same time tonic and opening; a desideratum long and eagerly sought for by medical men but never before discovered. In other words, they do the work of two medicines, and do it much better than any two we know of, for they remove nothing from the system but the impurities, so that while they purge they strength en; and hence they cause no debilitation, and are foL lowed by no reaction. Dr. Leßoy s Pills have a wonderful influence on the blood ; they not only purify, w ithout weakening it, but they remove all noxious particles from the chyle before it is converted into fluid, and thus make impure blood an utter impossibility. As there is no debilitation, so there is no nausea or sickness attend ing the operations ol this most excellent of medicines, which never strains or tortures the digestive functions but causes them to work in a perfectly natural man ner, and hence persons taking them do not become pale and emaciated, but the contrary, for while it is the property of the Sarsaparilla, united as it is with other ingredients, to remove al hat is foreign and impure, it is equally the property he Wild Cherry to retain all that is natural and soun and hence a robust state of health is the certain. lit of their united operations. Certificate from Sir James Clark, the eminent English Physician. ‘Dr. Le Roy’s V egetuMe Imverm Fills, ! say a the celebrated Sir James Clark, promises fair to, in a great measure, exclude the necessity of the lancet, for they prevent too much fullness of blood, by forcing from the chyle all impure matter, which would otherwise be converted into fluid, and taint all the rest; and the blood which is formed under their influence must, from the nature of their principal component parts, be pure and healthy. In my private practice 1 have ex cluded nearly every other cathartic in their favor; and the more I use them, the more my confidence in their virtues is confirmed. They unite extremes I which were heretofore considered paradoxical by the ! faculty ; that is, they are a strengthening purgative j and a purifying tonic ; hence they may at all limes ! be administered without hazard, no matter how weak or debilitated the patient may be —insomuch as their conservative properties are precisely in the ratio of their purgative eflects—so that while they evacuate the bowels in the most thorough manlier, they also trengthen and tone them. Drom the Morning Chronicle, Dec. 11. 1845. One might think that, people had discovered the Elixir ol life and were to die no more from the hub bub they are making about the new medicine —Dr. Le Roy’s Pills—the virtues of which all men are ex tolling to their neighbors. We have taken pains to as certain the truth of the matter and are able to say up on sound authority that. Dr. Leroy’s Vegetable Univer sal Pillsare deserving of all that can be said in their favor and combine opposite and admirable qualities never before united in a medicine ; those of purgatives and tonics. Tlie pills of Dr. Leroy have caused al most as great a commotion among the pu lie as the writings of 80/.; and will probably render their dis coverer equally immortal. / rom the Medical Times, Sept. 18, 1845. Opposed as we are to modern patent medicines, we cannot be silent to tlie viitues of Dr. Leßoy’s much lauded discovery. His Pills are indeed a purgative which may be taken without a risk, or the advice of a physician ; tor they produce evacuation without weakness, and cause energy in the digestive functions without straining them and thus paving the way for reaction and apathy.

CHRONICLE & SEiNTINEL. REPORT OP THE SECRETARY of the treasury. [continue*.] Comparing the first twelve months, ending the Ist of December, 1847, under the new tariff with pre ceding years, we finds proofs of increased prosperity. The revenue has largely augmented ; so also have the imports, exports, and tonnage, our imports of specie, our coinage at the mint, our agricultural and mineral products, our commerce and navigation, the business upon our lakes, rivers, and coastwise—upon our rail roads and canals, whilst in every direction manufacto lies are being established or enlarged, and new man ufacturing towns and cities are springing into exis tence. Even the revulsion in England, which al ways produces such disasters to all our great interests, including cotton, this year, with the famine combined, effects, nothing thus far compared with former years but the great staple of cotton. Instead of ruin we find prosperity ; the manufacturers receiving fair pro fits, and the workingmen augmented wages and em ployment. Coal and iron are in greater demand and bringing better prices than before the repeal of the tariff of 1342; yet they can derive no portion of their augmented price from that famine abroad, to which is attributed by some all our existing prosperity, but which famine, in fact, is causing a temporary drain of specie to England, not to pay balances, but because bills are discredited, which has for the time depressed the price of cotton, and w hich is the only brief check at this period to our advancing prosperity. If, as is truly the case, our wealth as connected with the mines, the forest, and the fisheries, our agriculture, commerce, manufactures, and navigation are more prosperous, and, above all, wages are augmented, why should we change the existing system ? The predictions of its failure have themselves failed. The new tariff is no longer an experiment; the problem is solved; and experience proves that the new system yields more revenue, enhances wages, and advances more rapidly the public prosperity. In the midst of all this success, why put in jeopardy by any change the nation’s revenue and welfare? When free trade is advancing so rapidly throughout the world, shall we retrograde and invite Great Britain to re-enact her corn laws and drive again from her ports our bread stuffs and provisions? And now, when under our successful example the ports of Europe are most pro bably about being most widely opened to all our ex ports, shall we check the advancing spirit of the age and extinguish the dawning light of commercial free dom ? Every where nations are being aroused upon this subject; their statesmen are resisting the inter ested classes, and exposing the injury and injustice of shackles upon trade, and will soon enrol the names of other countries on the great international league of commercial freedom for the benefit of mankind. It was our own country and her public functionaries who proclaimed these great truths before they had received the sanction of other nations. Our great movement was felt in British councils, was quoted as a prece dent in the halls of British legislation, where Ameri can free trade documents were recorded among their archives, and our doctrines approved and example fol lowed by the repeal of the British corn laws and the reduction or repeal of other duties upon our exports. Indeed, it has been conceded by some of our most distinguished protectionists that the promulgation of free trade doctrines in the American official docu ments of 1845 certainly accelerated, if indeed it did not actually ensure, the repeal of the British corn laws. With such results already from our efforts, we have every motive to persevere until the free-trade doctrines of Great Britain and America, the two great nations of kindred blood and language, shall open the ports and disenthral the commerce of the world. What may we not hope from our efforts with other nations if they have succeeded in Great Britain? That country, so long the bulwark of protection, ap plying it by a sliding scale upon the masses oif her people down to the utmost point of human endurance, has at length overcome the errors of ages. One of her own great statesmen, the most able and efficient champion of the protective policy, at length lifts his eyes to the light of truth, and, with that moral linn nessand intrepidity which is the highest evidence of real greatness, abandons the cherished policy of his life only because he found it to be injurious to his country, and unites in the support of commercial free dom with his truly illustrious but untitled country man, wUq has earned for himself the highest of all earthly distinctions— that of benefactor of his country and of mankind. France, Russia, Germany, Austria, Itaiy, Prussia, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, and Swe den, and even China, have moved, or arc vibiating or preparing to move, in favor of the same great princi ple ; and if our own country and Great Britain ad here to their present enlightened j>olicy, the rest of the world must lose their commerce, or adopt, as they will, our example. Pennsylvania, surpassingly rich in coal and iron, and but a year since so unanimous for protection, has tried low duties. Her coal and iron pour forth their treasures in increasing abundance; her breadstuff's and provisions find a better and more abundant mar ket; her agriculture, her commerce, her manufac tures and navigation, her miners, farmers, merchants, and seamen, manufacturers, and mechanics; and, above all, her toiling workmen with enhanced wages, and every pursuit of industry blessed with increased prosperity, rise up in favor of the new and more liber al commercial policy, and her people, by a majority unprecedented, largest in the counties where her coal and iron do most abound, recall their former verdict in favor of protection, and Pennsylvania becomes the very kcysione of the arch of commercial freedom, which must span the hemisphere we inhabit, and unite the interests of mankind. Nations cannot grow rich by destroying or restrict ing their commerce; and if the restriction is good, the prohibition must be better. Commerce is an ex change of products; specie often adjusting balances, but constituting so inconsiderable a part of the value of products and property, but a small portion of sales can be for specie, but must be in exchange for other products. The attempt, then, by high tariffs, to make large sales for any length of time for the specie of other nations, is impracticable, and must diminish the quantity and price of our exports. As specie sales for long periods or great extent are impossible, that nation which, from the surplus products of its own labor, at the best price, purchases at the lowest rate the largest quantity of the products of the labor of the world, progresses in wealth most rapidly. Thus, if one na tion, by high duties, should forbid its citizens purchas ing an / of the products of other nations, except at a greatly advanced price, or should restrict the exchange of the products of its own labor for the products of the labor of other nations, such lestricting nation w'ould certainly receive less of the comforts or necessaries of life in exchange for the products of its own labor, and in this manner (the wages of labor being connected with the value of its products) depresses wages. If there were three nations —the first raising breadstuff's, the second sugar, and the third cotton —and the first restricted the exchanges of its breadstuff's for the su gar of the second, and the cotton of the third, it would certainly get less sugar and cotton in exchange for its breadstuff's, the other nations would encourage free ex changes. Labor, then, untaxed and unrestricted in all its exchanges and markets, will certainly receive in exchange a larger amount of the products of labor, and consequently accumulate wealth more rapidly than where labor is restricted in its products to a single market, abandoning the profits ot the exchanges with other nations. It is thus clear that a lax or restriction on commerce is a restriction or tax upon labor, and falls chieflv upon the wages of labor; and it will soon become an axiomatic truth that all tariffs are a tax up on labor and wages. One of the most common errors is to compare our imports, exclusive of specie, with our domestic exports, exclusive of specie; and if there are more such imports than exports in any one year, such balance of trade is set down as so much lost by foreign commerce to the nation. A single fact proves the fallacy of this position. Prom 1790 to the present period, our imports, exclusive of specie, have exceeded our domestic exports, exclusive of specie, several hundred millions of dollars ; yet our wealth has increased with a rapidity unprecedented. The theory, therefore, is disproved by the facts; and the reasons are obvious, of which the following are among the most prominent: The products of our whale fish eries extracted by our hardy seamen from the ocean, and most clearly one of the great products of Amer ican industry, when imported here are included in the list of our foreign imports, and go to swell several millions of Joll&ra every year this alleged unfavorable
