The lust word is now to be spoken to : the Intelligencer, as our readers are per fectly disgusted with the interchange of scnselese squibs. Our neighbor, thinks he| has us cornered on the “ Red Mouth Dem ocrat' question. We beg now to unde -1 ceive him. We were not a resident, of the city when the article appeared We did not even know, either of the Editors, and : had we have felt inclined to write an ar ticle of the kind, we had plenty of press es near at. hand, where we could have | found a column at any time. We never deny anything, the Intelligencer has had ample proof, that, we never skulk, but on > several occasions, we have refused to an. swer his pendo charges against us, and others, for the reason, that they were harm less. The charge preferred against our friend Gov. Johnson, about removing Mc- Pherson on the Know Nothing question was, infamimuly false, and we never thought it necessary to nfuto it. The j charge against us is equally destitute ofj foundation, but every body knows it, the i people know ii, the Democracy know it, i and where was the necessity for denial ? We are a Democrat, a pure one, of the? Young American stripe, and we shall nev er abuse our friends, nor defend nur one- i i mins. If the Intelligencer wishes a farther an- ■ swer, let him call at our office and he can . get it in words, which the veriest simple-1 ton in the wide world would not mistake t ; 1 LATER FROM EUROPE. arrival gfthf.

New Yorjc, Nov. 6, 1854. ) 701 Narrow Street. ) Congratulate me—my fortune is ma le —I am immortalized, and I've done it myself. I have gone into the patent med • icine businesa. My name will be handed down to posterity as that of a universal benefactor. The hand which hereafter writes upon the record of Fame the names of Ayer, Sands, Townsend, Moffat, Morri son and Brandreth, must also inscribe, side by side with these distinguished ap pellations, the no less brilliant cognomen of tho undying Doesticks. Emulous of the deathless notoriety which has been ac quired by the medical worthies Just men tioned, I also resolve to achieve a name and a fortune in the same reputable and honest manner. Bought a gallon of tar, a cake of beeswax, and 8 firkin of lard, and in twenty-one hours I presented to the world the first batch of Doestick’s Patent Self Acting Four-Horse-Power Balsam, designed to cure all diseases of mind, body or estate, to give strength to the weak, . money to the poor, bread and butter to the ' hungry, boots to the bare-foot, decency to ! blackguards, and common sense to the Know Nothing.*.. It acts physically, mor ally, nmntaJly, psychologically, physiolo gically and is intended to male ourWblunary sphere a blissful Earadise, to which Heaven itself shall be ut a side show. j I haie not yet brought it to absolute ' perfection, but even now it acts with im mense force, as you will perceive by the ! accompanying testimonials and resorted of my owu individual experience. You will i observe that I have not restored to the usual manner of preparing certificates, which is, to he certain that all those in tended for eastern circulation shall seem .to come from some formerly unheard of place in the west, while those sent to the west shall be dated at some place forty miles east of sunrise. But I send to yon, as representing the western country, a certificate from an Oregon farmer: “Dear Sir: The land composing my ! farm has hitherto been bo poor that a j Scotchman couldn’t get bis living off it, and so stony that we had to slipe our po tatoes and plant them edgeways but hear , ing of your balsam, I put some on one cor l ner of a ten acre lot, surrounded by a rail ! fence, and in the morning I found the rocks had entirely disappeared, a neat stone wall encircled the field, and the rails were split into oven-wood and piled up symmetrically in my back yard. Put half an ounce into the middle of a huckel berry swamp; in two days it was cleared off, planted with corn and pumpkins, and I had a row of peach trees in full bloom ■ through the middle. As an evidence of , its tremendous strength I would state that iit drew a striking likeness of my eldest daughter—drew my youngest boy out oi the mill pond—drew a blister all over his stomach—drew a load of potatoes four miles to market, and eventually drew a ririze of ninety seven dollars in the state jtterj\ And the effect upon the inhabi tants hereabout has been so wonderful, that they have opened their eyes to the ; good of the country, and are determined to vote for a Governor whe is opposed to frosts in the middle of June, and who will make a positive law against freshets, hail storms, and the seventeen year locusts.” There, isn’t that some? But I give one more from a member of the senior class in . the western college, who, although mis . guided, neglected and ignorant, is un doubtedly as honest and sincere as his Prussianized education will admit of. 1 have corrected the orthognq hy and re vised some grammatical inaccuracies; but, • besides attending to these trifles, inserting i marks of punctuation, and putting the 1 capitals in the right places, 1 assure you . I have made no alteration: Sall Harbor, June 31. 1854. Mr Dear Doctor:— You know I attended medical lectur- i Ics half a winter, and once assisted in get ting a crooked needle out of a baby’s leg; so [understand perfectly well the theory and practice of medicine, and the doctor is perfectly legitimate under the Prussian system. By the incessant study required in this establishment, I have become worn down so thin that I was obliged to put an over coat on to cast a shadow—but acci dently hearing of your balsam, I obtained a quantity, and in obedience to the hom [ coo pat bical principle of this institution, took an infinitesimal does only; in four' I days I mea-urel one hundred and eighty , two inches round the waist—could chop eleven cords of hickory wood in two hturs and a half; and on a bet, carried a yoke of i oxens two miles and a quarter in my loft hand, my right being tied behind me; and if any one doubts the fact, the oxen« «re i still to be seen. “About two weeks after this, had the pleasure of participating in a gunpowder i explosion, on which occasion my arms and legs were scattered over village, and my waggled remains pretty equally distribu ted throughout the nntire country. Un i der these circumstances my life was de spaired of, and my classmates had bought a pine coffin, and borrowed whole shirts to attend the funeral in; when the invin cible power of your four-horse-power bal sam, (which I happened to have in my vest pocket,) brought together the scattered pieces ot my body—collected my limbs from the rural districts, put new life into my shattered frame and I was re stored, uninjured, to my friends, with a new set of double teeth. I have preserv ed tbc label which enveloped the bottle, and have sewed it into the seat of my pantaloons, and now hid grim death defi ' fiance, for I feel that I aui henceforth un ' killable, and in fact I am even now gener ally designated the ‘Great Weste n Ar- I chilles * Yours, entirly. SKY HT.” I feel that after this, Mr Editor, 1 i need give you ou more reports of third i I persons, hut will nererthcle-s detail some; of my own peasonal experience of the ar-, tide. I caused some to be applied to the Wastcnaw Bank after its failure, and while' . the balsam lasted the bank redeemed its notes with specie. The cork of one of the bottles dropped upon the head of a child less widow, and in six weeks she had a j young and blooming husband. Adminis-; tered some to a hack driver in a glass of gin and sugar, and that day he swindled but seven people, and only gave two of them bad money in change. Gave a few drops gratis to a poor woman who was earning a precarious subsistence by mak- ' ing calico shirts with a one eyed needle,: ■ and the next day she was discovered to be heir to a large fortune. The Know j Nothing candidate for Mayor of the city; ; I has sent for a bottle, and it has entirely cured him of a violent verbal diarrhoea.! , j Gave some to an uptown actor, and that • , night ho said “damned” only twenty •; times. One of the daily papers got the next dose, and in the next edition but one ' ,; there were but four editorial falsehoods, ■' ’' some indecent advertisements, and two , columns and a half of home made “Fi r-, >; eign Correspondence.” >! Caused fifteen drops to be given to the : !; low comedian of a Broadway theatre, and that night he was positively dressed more . like a man than a monkey—actually spoke : [! some lines of the author—made only three I; insane attempts at puerile witicisms—only • 1 twice went vut of his way to introduce i some grossly indelicate line into his part,; • and for a wonder lost so much of his self- i conceit that for a full half hour he did not i believe himself the greatest commedian in j ; the world. Gave some to a newsboy, and ’ I he manufactured but three fires, a couple: ; of murders, and one horrible railroad acci , I dent, the next thirty minutes. Put some .: on the outside of the Crystal Palace, and i! the same day* the stock went from 22 up ’, to 44. Our whole Empire City is entirely j i! changed by the miraculous powerof “ Doe- i -stick’s Patent Self Acting Four Horse: Power Balsam ” The gas is lighted on the dark nights instead of on the moon light evenings—there is no more highway ■ robberies in the streets or if there are, the! offenders, when arrested, are instantly dis charged by the police magistrate. No. ' more building materials on the sidewalks;; no more midnight murders; no more Sun- • , day rows; no more dirty streets; no more, duels in Hoboken, and no more lies the newspapers Broadway is swept and garnished; the M. P.’s are civil, and the i • boys don’t steal any more dogs, lu fact, • Iso well content are we now with our city, , | that we feel, as »he Hibernian poet so beau- J tifully says : . • “ O, if there be an Eljaiiun nn Earth, , “ It is thia—-it is this." | Orders for my balsam accompanied by ' ; the money will bo immediately attended ; to; otherwise, not —for my partner and I ■ have resolved to sell for cash only, feeling! i as did Dr. Young, who appropriately and feelingly i emarks— “We take no note*on Time.” i Triumphantly yours, . Dr. Q, K. Philander Doesticks, P. B. M. D. P. 8 —Bull Dogge says I have piled it i up too strong; and that no one will believe I what he calls “ that humbug about the j newspapers, and the preposterous non-1 J sense concerning the Broadway actor ” —1 II ani aware that in these instances my medicine has performed 8 modern naira-. . cle, but the facts remain “no less true, ; ' than strange.” Dr Q K.
