JEW DAVID’S HEBREW PLASTER.
r I'M IK great remedy for Rheumatism, Gout, Pain in the Side
JL Hip, Back, Uniha and Joints; Scrofula, King's Evil, White
Swelling, Hard Tumors, Stiff Joints and all fixed pains whatev
er.
YYhere this Piaster is applied. Pain cannot exist. It has
been beneficial in cases of weakness, such as Pain and Weak
ness in the Stomach, Weak Limbs, Lameness, Affection o- the
Spine, Female Weakness, &c. No female, subject to pain or
weakness in the back or sides, should be without it Married
ladies, in delicate situations, find great relief from constantly
wearing the Plaster.
The application of the Plaster between the shoulders has been
found a certain remedy for Colds, Coughs, Phthisic, and Affec
tion of the Lungs in their primary stages. It destroys tnfiaina
tion by perspiration.

The following commendation is from an agent residing at
Trenton, Term.:
Trzntov, Gibsun Cos. Tenn. Nov. 7, ’49.
Messrs. Si out. Sl Mkad—Gentlemen : The Hc’i.cw Plaster
is becoming popular in this section. There is a lady in this
county who says she would not be w ithout the Plaster for five
hundred dollars a year. She was afflicted for some time with
an enlargement of the spleen, which gave her great pain. The
swelling and pain had extended up nearly to the armpit, and
occasionally she could hardly breathe. She was confined for
a considerable time, during which she was attended by some of
ou- best physicians, but they gave no relief. She procured a
box of the Hebrew Plaster, and it relieved her almost immediate
ly, and now she keeps a supply of it on hand constantly.—
These facts you are at liberty to use as you think proper—they
are substantially true. Respectfully, yours, &e_

Beware of Counterfeits and Base Imitations!
Caution-. —The subscribers are the only general agents in the
Southern States for the sale of this truly valuable Piaster ; and
in order to prevent purchasers being im-iosed tqwin by a counter
feit article, sold in this city and elsewhere, for the genuine, they
invite particular attention to the following marks of the genu
ine :
1. The .genuine is put up in smooth, engine-turned bottomed
boxes, soldered in.
2. The genuine has the engraved head of Jew David on the
directions around the box, with accompanying record of court
to E. Taylor, Rochester.
Al-SO TAKE NOTICE
That the genuine has the signature of E. TAYLOR on the steel
plate engraved label, on the top of each box—to imitate winch,
will be prosecuted as forgery.
The Counterfeit is coarsely put up, in imitation of the old
label, and is sold by several dealers in medicine in this city for
the genuine article. BEWARE OF IT—IT IS WORTHLESS.

“ Ycver! Aever! Never!”
“ 1 m:, .V be asked, and have been asked, When I
am for the dissolution of the Union ? I answer, Never!
Never ! Never ! ’ —Henry Clay.
BY GEORGE W. CUTTER.
You asked me when I’d rend the scroll,
Our father’s names are written o'er ;
When I would see our flag unroll
Ils mingled stars and stripes no more !
W hen with a worse than felon’s hand,
Or felon counsel I would sever
T lie Unton of this glorious land—
J answer, “Never, never, never.’’
When ye can find in lawless might,
\N here carnage treads its crimson sway ;
Where burning cities gild the night,
Where cannon smoky obscures the day;
In towns deserted, fields of ground
Abandoned by the faithful plough,
Security—hope—peace profound,
The blessings Heaven vouchsafes ye now,
Think ye that I could brook to sec
I he emblem we have loved so long,
Borne piece-meal o’er the distant sea,
Torn, trampled by a frenzied throng,
Divided, measured, parceled out.
lamely surrender'd up lorever
To gratify a lawless route
Ot traitors? Never, never, never.
On yonder lone and lovely-steep
1 he sculptor's art, the builder’s power—
A landmark o’er the soldier’s sleep—
Have reared a lofty funeral tower,
There it shall stand until ihe river
1 hat rolls beneath shall erase to roll;
Ay, till that hill itself shall quiver
W ith nature's last convulsive throe.
Upon that column’s marble base,
Its shaft that soars into the *ky ;
There still is room enough to trace
The list of millions yet to die.
And I would cover till its height
And breadth, before the hour of shame,
A*ll space should fail whereon to write
Even the initials of a name.
Nay, I would haste to swell the ranks,
Direct the fire or lead the wav
M here battle swept the rifted ranks,
And bore the terrified files away,
Fall bleeding in the doubtful strife
Beneath the motto of my sires,
And draw my latest breath of life
Before that Union flag expires.
Dissolve the Union—nay, remove
1 he best asylum that is known ;
5V here patriots find a brother’s love,
And truth may shelter from a throne?
Give up hopes of high renown,
r l he legacy our father’s will'd,
Tear our victorious eagles down
Before their mission is fulfilled.
Dissolve the Union—while the earth
Has yet a tyrant to be slain ;
As well repress the lightning's birth,
Or stop the hearings of the main.
Dissolve the L T nion—God of Heaven,
W know too well how much it cost!
A million bosoms shall be riven,
Bt fore one gulden link is lost,
Nay. spread aloft our banner folds
High as the Heaven they resemble;
That every race this planet holds
Beneath its shadow may assemble,
And with the rainbow’s dazzling pride
Or clouds that burn upon the skies,
Inscribe upon its margin wide;
Peace, Fret-don. Union, Compromise !

“ Oh ! no not paint her charms to me,

Her eves with stirs compare,

But, has she any ‘tin ?’ ”
I “ The fairest cheek, alas ! may fade,
• Beneath the touch of years;

So, has she any ‘tin V ’’
Ministering Spirits.
The re-union of parents and children in hea
ven, as well as of other earthly friends, is a
cheering and delightful thought. And the idea
that our departed friends may sometimes be
near us. or wait to welcome us on the borders
of spirit-land, is well suited to impress the
mind.
A little girl, in a family of my acquaintance
a lovely and precious child, lost her mother at
an age too early to fix the loved features in her
remembrance. She was as frail as beautiful;
and as the bud of her heart unfolded, it seemed
as it won by that mother’s prayers to~ turn in
stinctively heavenward. ‘Th/sweet conscien
tious and prayer-loving child, was the cherished
one of the bereaved family. But she faded
away earl}’. She would lie upon the lap ofthe
friend who took a mother’s kind care of her,
and winding one wasted arm about her neck,
would say, “Now tell me about mv mamma!”
And when the oft-told tale had been repeated,
she would ask softly, “take me into the parlor;
I want to see my mamma.” The request was
never refused, and the affectionate child would
lie for hours contentedly gazing on her mother’s
portrait. But
“ Pale and wan she grew, and weakly—
Bearing all her pain so meekly,
That to them site still grew dearer,
As the trial hour drew nearer.”
J hat hour came at last, and the weeping
neighbors assembled to see the child die. The
dew of death was already on the flower, as its
life sun was going down. The little chest heaved
fai nll v, spas modical Iv.
“Do you know me, darling ?’’ sobbed, close
to her ear, the voice that was dearest; but it
awoke no answer.
Al! at once a brightness, as if from the upper
world, burst over the child’s colorless counte
nance. The eyelids flashed open, the lips par
ted, the wan, cuddling hands flew up, in the
little one’s last impulsive effort, as she looked
piercingly into the far above.
‘Mother!’she cried, with surprise and trans
port in her tone, and passed with that breath
into her mother’s bosom.
Said a distinguished divine who stood by that
bed of joyous death :
Ts I never believed in the ministration of de
parted ones before, I could not doubt it non.’
——h>— nena—
PA R ENT AL FAITH FULNESS.
•Many years since, when the late Lieutenant
Governor Philips, of Andover, Massachusetts,
was a student at Harvard College, owing to
some boyish freak, lie left the university, and
went home. His father was a very grave man,
of sound mind, strict judgement, and of few
words. He inquired into the business, but tleler
ed expressing any opinion uyifl th next day.
At breakfast he said speaking o his wife.
“ My dear, have you any % ill in tli\ house
suitable to make Sam a frock and trousers?”
Site reolied, “ Yes.”
“Well,” said the old gentleman, “follow me,
my son.”
Samuel kept pace with his father, ns he leis
urely walked near the common, and at length
ventured to ask,
“ U hat are you a going to do with me fath
er?”,
“I am going to bind you an apprentice, to
that blacksmith,” replied Mr. Philips. “Take
your choice ; return to college, or you must
work.’’
“I had rather return,” said the son.
He did return, confessed his fault, was a
good scholar, and became a respectable man.
If all parents were like Mr. Philips, the stu
dents at our colleges would prove better stu
dents, or the nation would have a plentiful sup
ply of blacksmiths.
The Beggar and the Leper.
A POOR beggar, overwhelmed with want and
misery, resolved one day to drown himself.
Arrived at the brink of the river, he was about
to throw himself in when a leper, who was
passing asked him'to point out they dwelling of a
certain physician, who might perhaps he able
to cure him.
“Brother,” said the beggar, “you had bet
ter follow my example, and thus speedily deliv.
er yourself from your malady.”
“No,’ replied the leper, “I wish to recover;
I am by no means tired of life.”
A wise man, who was passing by, and
heard the dialogue, then said :
“ My friends, if you each persist in your
first resolution, you ought to exchange your
modes of action. Let the leper plunge frequen
tly into the water and he will be cured ; while
you, poor man, may commit suicide in the
speediest and most certain manner posible, by
putting yourself into the hands of a physician.”
A Miser.
A miser, who, in order to save expense
used to draw water every day for his daily use
fell one morning into the well. Several persons
ran to his aid, and stooping down, said with
compassion :
“Give me your hand and we will draw you
out.”
“Give?” cried the miser, “give! I never
give anything !’’
So he sank beneath the water, and was
drowned.
For House Keepers.— Mince Meat. — Two
pounds of beef, four of suet, four of apples,
four of rasins, four of sugar, all minced very
fine, to which add five pints of brandy, and two
of Madeira wine. Pulverize finely, one-fourth
of an ounce of mace, and the same quantity
of cinnamon and of allspice, and a half ounce
of orange peel, one grated nutmeg and an ounce
of salt. Keep closely covered in a jar.
Transparent Pudding—Motot eggs very
light, add to them one pound of finelv pulver
ized loaf sugar, and halt a pound of creamed
butter. Season with essence of lemon, or van
illa, if you prefer it.
An Antidote for Poison.—Mr. Potter, a
gentleman living in Morgan street, in this city,
a few days since, swallowed a large quantity of
corrosive sublimate, through mistake, supposing
it to be wine. lie instantly became aware of
his error, and recollected the reined v prescribed
for such by A. J. Davis the clairvoyant,
in his volume entitled “The Physician.” This
remedy was the simple one of swallowing, as
quick as possible, an average dose of common
sweet oil. Fortunately for the sufferer, a bottle
of sweet oil stood on the same shelf before him,
l from which he had taken the poison, and ho
seized and drained it of its contents. The ef
fect was instantaneous. The action of the mer
cury was arrested, and Mr. P. has since nearly
recovered.— N. Y. Times.
Amateur Confectionery.

sherry. Bake in tin patty-pans in a moderately
quick oven.
Lemon Cakes.—Whisk twelve eggs to a high
froth, and add them to one pound of flour, one
pound ol pounded sugar, the grated peel and
juice of four lemons. Bake in small oval tins,
well buttered, placing six thicknesses of white
paper beneath each tin. When baked, thinly

An Election Story.
A correspondent of the New Orleans Delta,
furnishes the following capital story, which hits
hard all travelling candidates for office :
One day, just as l was going to sit down to
dine on a nice fat capon that my wife had laid
upon the table, (the capon was just large
enough for her and me) and 1 had pulled the
cork out of a cool bottle of claret, a man walk
ed up the gallery steps, hat in hand, bowing
and smoking, and says he :
‘Good day, sir—this is Mr. Timson, I believe,
sir V
‘Yes, sir, that is rnv name—take a seat sir.’
‘Thank you, Mr. Timson ;’ said he laying his
hat on one side and planting himself in a chair
with an air that showed plainly enough that
nty fat capon was in danger.
‘Very warm weather, sir,’ said he.
‘ Very,’ said I.
‘Shall I trouble you for a drink of water V
said he.
‘Oh, no trouble,’ said I; ‘here, Polly,’ (to a
negro gill,) ‘go get the decanters upon the side
board ; walk in, sir, and take something to stim-!
ulate the system.’
‘Well, really,’ said he, ‘I hardly ever drink
any thing.’
‘Oh, it won’t hurt you, sir,’ said I; ‘walk in,
walk in.’
lie did walk in, and as he passed the table,
he cast his eye upon my capon. Mrs. Timson
saw the glance and un tied pale—not that my j
dear wife begrudged the capon, but she knew
that there was not enough for three and there
was no time to cook another. He took a stiff
horn, and then turned around and told me his
name was Grimpkin, and that be was a candi
date for the Legislature.
I told him I was t 0 his acquaint
ance, and introduced him to Mrs. Timsou, who
told him she was very glad to see him. Poor
woman,she told a white one that time; but I
hope she will be forgiven for it—in fact, she
was driven to it, you know; and I invited him
to sit down and take dinner. Mrs. Timson ex
cused herself, with the plea that she had to go
out and attend to a negro child that had just
been taken very sick, (may the guilty— that is,
the candidate —suffer tor that sin, too, as I am
confident will be the case) and left us to divide
the capon between us—she, dear heart, dined
on mush and milk! Very little of that capon
did I eat, and very little of my claret passed
ipy hps ! 1 had Mr. Grirapkin’s horse fed, too,
and he kept, me up, after dinner, talking about
what he meant to do when he got into the Leg
islature, whilst I would have given more for my
after dinner nap than 1 would for all his prin
ciples and brains put together. I didn’t pro
mise to vote for him, but hinted very strongly
that wav. The fact is, I never heard ot him
before, Well, he went away, and I lay down
on the gallery and went to sleep.
I had gone off into a deep and glorious
snooze, and was dreaming that a huge monster
with forty heads (on each of which was a great
brass gimlet, ala rhinoceros) had announced
himself as a candidate for all the offices witbio
the gift of the people, when Mrs. Timson (who
would uo more have dared to disturb my sies
ta on ordinary occasions than she would have
cut off her little huger,) tickled my nose with
a feather, and I awoke in a very had humor.
‘Dang it all, Mrs. Timson, my dear!’ said 1
atariiug up and rubbing my buruiug eyes,
‘what did you disturb me for, eh, Mrs. Timsou.
‘Oh, don’t speak so loud,’ said she iu a whis
per, ‘there’s a gentleman sitting in the parlor; i
another candidate.’
L put ou a calm countenance and walked iu, |
and there sat an intelligent, bright looking
young man, whom I saw at a glance was ageu- !
lleinan, disguised tis a candidate. He rose up ,
autlapoliguMtl very gnuxffuUy tor having dia- j
turbeU me, and told iuu he was a caudidate ;
that inexorable custom compelled him to visit
the people, and that lie wished to occupy as
little of their time, and give them as little trou
ble as possible.
‘iSir,’ said I with fervor, ‘you shall have my
vote; you are a man of sense ; you are a gen
tletnau—l see that, notwithstanding your dis
guise, and I’ll vote for you, sir! \Vhat are
your politics, and for what office do you run ?’ j
lie explained it all, and alter I had pressed
hint to eat a little dinner, and refresh himself
at the sideboard, he left.
1 advised Mrs. Timson to have some capons
always dressed and some claret always cooling
—aud it was well 1 did so. That night three
candidates slept at my house ; oue was running
for Justice of the Peace, one for Constable, the
other for Congress. They discussed the affairs
of the nation wiiu considerable warmth until
after midnight —the Constable getting rather
the l>est ot it, as Mrs. Timson and 1 both
thought, and then went to bed —the whole
three being as 1 thought, (and Mrs. Timseti re
marked the same tiling) rather tight.
The next day seven candidates visited my
house with me, and four more slept in my beds,
i’hree had already retired when the fourth
came. Mrs. Tim on had only two spare beds,
therefore they slept two in a bed. About rive
minutes after 1 had conducted the new comer
to the room where the oue candidate was in
bed, 1 heard a tremendous racket—loud voices
—a crashing of furniture —a tailing ot bodies —
aud such cursing and swearing as 1 never be
fore heard in my house. 1 ran to the room, at
the door of w inch stood the candidates, looking
at the scene of destruction.
‘Why, Mr. Timson,’said one, ‘‘why did you
put these two men in bed together j W by,
sir, they are both running for Clerk; and they
are just as hostile towards one another as two
men can be!’
I looked into the room, and there stood Mr.
Squirt with one of Mrs. Titnson’s beatitul piec
es of crockery held aloft in his. hand, (like Jove
poising a thunderbolt.) ready to descend upon
the head of Mr. Spotts, who held up as a shield,
a part of the same vessel. They had already
broken the looking-glasses on the bureau, had
demolished two chairs, and tom the musquito
bar into shreds, and the bridge of Mr. Spott s
nose was badly skinned. I succeeded iu stop
ping the row, and after two hours spent in w rit
ing and accepting challenges, and drinking my
old rye, the parties shook hands, and went to
bed together.

The Locofocos and The Future.
The Pennsylvanian , in reply to our remarks a few
days since, says that ‘all differences between mere men
are soon adjusted when there is a common union upon
principles,’ but it fails to enlighten us whether there ex
ists only personal hostility but a difference of political
views between the leaders of its party. The following
article, which we copy at length from the Lancasterian,
the organ of the Democratic War Horse of Lancaster,
would seein to justify the charge that there is not‘a
common union of principles,’ and much less a com-,
mon bond of friendship and good will now existing
among the so-called Democratic leaders in PennsyL
Tania :— Phil. News.
NORTH ABOUT FACE!
Mr. Buchanan’s first move in the Presidential game
having failed, he is now making the second.
The first was his barefaced attempt to secure the ul
tra Southern feeling by announcing his Missouri Line
extension policy. For a time this seemed promising.—
Nashville Convention secessionists hailed it with en
thusiasm. All the hotspurs and fire-eaters were for
it; and the elections of the past suitimer and present
fall, were to show that this and nothing else could set
tle the ire of the fathers, and assure the safety of the
mothers and daughters of the South. But lo and be
hold 1 The elections are over, and the whale South—
Arkansas, Georgia and Mississippi, are. and even S.
Carolina herself, have declared for the Compromise
acts, and for Ceiieral Cass’s non-intervention policy.
Months ago this result was foreseen, and that so plain
ly that the father of the Missouri line extension him
self had to come out for the Compromise acts, and is
now one of their loudest advocates.
Having thus failed in obtaing any advantage ever oth
ers in the Southern market, Air. Buchanan is now mak
ing his next move in the N,orth. It i6 one that lias long
been expected, though kept back till now when it is sup
posed the fullness of time has arrived. Premonitory
symptoms of it first openly appeared since the Into
Governor’s election in the laudations of Mr. 8.. by the
Whig press of the Slate generally*; at length tl,e
500 Whig subscribers of his organ, the Pennsylva
nian, are thus informed that they can get such a Tariff
as they wish for—for a price :
‘Every great interest in this country must at last
depend upon the Democratic party. That party which
was denounced as the destroyer of trade when it erect
ed the Independent Treasury—as the assaillant of cred
it when it crushed the Bank of the United States —
and as the foe of industry when it established the
liberal revenue law qf ’46, —lias been time and again
vindicated by the triumphant issue which has followed a
full trial of each of these daring and brilliant experi
ments—consequences always sure to reward every
movement based upon the eternal principles which
must regulate and control all republican nations that
expect to be worthy ot their high destiny. This is a
lesson that those concerned in leading interests in
this State have laid to their hearts, and we are sure
that the national pride of our iron counties will find
that they may rely on a Democratic Congress for a
careful and attentive consideration of every just
claim that they may bring before it.’
Here we have it plump and plain, the short English
being this; Whigs who are Iron Masters, Coal-mine
owners and operators, and Cotton Factory Proprietors,
you can never expect such protection, in the way of a
Tariff as you wish from a Whig President, but come
in and vote for James Buchanan, and he being sound
on this subject, will, if you help to elect him, so place
the matter before Congress, that you shall have that
justice which former Democratic administrations de
nied you This is the long and short of it.
To the South was offered the Buchanan Proviso ,
i. e.—a Proviso absolutely establishing slavery on one
side and prohibiting it on the other side of a certain line
jl of latitude. This unconstitutional measure of course
did not lake. And now to the cotton lords, iron-mas
ters, and coal owners of the North the next bid i*
made.
We have no doubU or fears of the result. Timo
will show that with less bluster there is as much true
chivalry in the North as in the South; and that even
if Northern Whigs were base enough to bite at such a
trasparent bait, Northern Democrats know how to ap-i
preciate such a shallow political juggle.

peculiarities of the day, Stephen A. Douglass,
and distinguished ex-Secrelary of War, Gov.

apace; and at length Governor Marcy, with

proposed “the health of Mr. Douglass, the ablo
Senator Irom Hlinois->tnay he he continued fin
the next six years to fill his place in the senate,
which he has already so much graced*” The
meaning of the sally was evident, and Maiey’s
eyes twinkled with satisfaction at the ‘‘hit.” No
wise abashed, however, “the little giant“
struigtened himself out, and after returning
thanks, concluded by giving “the distinguished
ex-Secretary of W ar. Governor Murcv, with
not a spot on his character ami but one patch

the retort, shortly after which the U jveinor
was missing.
Ex Senator We stcett.
The following: are the views of this gentle,
man on New York, Ohio, & .New England
Democracy.
I am a radical democrat—-!ooofi>co, if you
please—but as is universally known, very am
iable and mild. But 1 take occasion to say 1
have no affiliation with or sympathy for, the
conglomerated compound ot heterogeneous ina-.
lerials, abolitionists, free-suiters, fugitive slave
law repealers, and old hunkers, professing to be
Union-loving and law-abiding, and so forth,
styled the New Yoik democracy. It is no bet-,
ter than that of Massachusetts and Ohio. |
hope they will get beat next month. The true
democrats deserve it for keeping bad company'.
—Thrashing and starvation are the only rem-.
edies lo reslore them to sound political health.
If they would emulate Daniel S. Dickinson
there would be some hope in Israel. As. it i*
the case is desperate.
Hypocrisy,-— The Buffalo Comtnmercial
Advertiser says it never doubted that the par*
ade of love for the 1 1 i-h. and all that sort of clap
trap, which has been made by the democracy,
was the sheerest hypocrisy imaginable. The
votes of the Irish were wanted, and nothing
else. See, continues the Advertiser, R, J,
Walker, the pet of the democracy, rejoicing
with Englishmen over the liberation of Kos
| sulh from Austrian bondage, and pledging his
i countrymen to war for England against des-.
potism, when Smith O’Brien, Meagher and
Mitchel, and the other patriots of Ireland, are
suffering in exile among felons and outlaw*
lor the same alleged crime which consigned
Kossuth to a Turkish prison. Not one voice
was raised for them ; nor was a,ny sympathy
for their cause or the fate invoked by the
shrewd negotiator who, in the midst of his af
fected zeal for English liberty, was not un
mindful that an appeal for Ireland would not
commend himself nor his mission to English
capitalists.
Xon-InterTOntion.
The New York Express publishes an excel
lent article, in which it emphatically declare*
the true American policy to be non-interven
tion. To war against the world, it says, is not
our business ; the days of crusaders are over;
and we have enough to do to keep liberty
secure at home.
The great American policy of non-interven
tion, sanctioned by experience and consecra
ted by wisdom, it is not likely the oountry will
ever reverse, much less send an army to the
Danube, among the Croats, the Magyars and
Sclaves. If we once begin it, there is no end
to it If we begin to-day a war with Russia o;
Austria, to-morrow the Protestants will g&U
upon usto dethrone the Hierarchy of Rotne,
the gre.at anti-Christ. Tbe religious wars of
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries will all
be revived. Mazainr appeals to us now from
classic and consecrated soil. The legions of
Republican France have trodden down de
mocracy upon fk? eternal hills of the world*
Imperial city, under the >ky where Cato lived,
and Cicero thundered and St. Paul preached
All our hearts are there. Tens of thousands
long to be demolishing the Vatican. The

as inha’ monious and unknown in our ears as the
Cammanche, the Pottawatami* and Ojibbe\v*j
Ireland, too, is America, and America is Ire.
land. Instead of acting with Great Britain to,
restore Kossuth to Pesth orCornom, we should
prefer acting against Great Britain to restore
Smith O’Brien to Dublin or Limerick. There
is no stomach for a fight, on the Bla.-I; St*x,
when we have so much more to do upou the
green hills and valleys of Erin.
