THE INTELLIGENCER.
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

DOESTICKS INVENTS A PATENT MEDICINE.
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

garnished; the M. P.’s are civil, and the

J tifully says : . •

will render these publications unusually inter

derous Tome of the future historian, written af
ter the living interest and excitement of the great
political events of the time shall have passed
away. It is to these Periodicals that readers
must look for the only really intelligible and re
liable history of current events, and as such, in
addition to their well-established literary, scien
tific, and theological character, we urge them up
on the consideration of the reading public.
