Joseph H. Broom. Esq.—Dear Sir : This is to cer
tify that in the year 185C, l had under my care a case
-if Dropsy, which I directed tube placed under your
treatment. The above case xvas placed under yonr
care and treatment, and in the space of six or seven
weeks von made a final Clin*. The above specified case
--as since been under mv notice, but no sign of Dropsy
lms since been visible.! would therefore direct all who
imx e the Dropsy to give you a trial, for I think your
medicine the greatest ever discovered for Dropsy.
Yours respectful’v.

Gentlemen: This is to certify that my mother was
"fflicled with Dropsy for a long time, and that all
-lie ineilicalskiil which could be procured xvas exhaust- j
ed, and her recovery wu- r gar-led as hopeless. She j
was induced to test'tbe virtue of Broom’s Auti-Hv- J
dropic Tincture, and found in a l'exv days she grew j
better, and through its use a perfect cure was effected, j
and she lived several years afterwards. I cheerfully j
recommend those afflicted

Historical Parallels.
“We Hold these truths to be self-evi
dent, that all men are created equal ;
that thev are endowed by their ( reator
with certain unalienable rights; that
among these, are life, liberty, and the pur
suit o£ happiness. That, to secure these
rights, governments are instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed ; that, whenever
any form of government becomes destruc
tive of these ends, it is the light of tlie
people to alter or to abolish it, and to in
stitute a new government, laying its foun
dation on such principles, and organizing
its powers in such form, as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their safety and
happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dic
tate that governments long established,
should not be changed ior light and tran
sient causes , and accordingly, all experi
ence hath shown, that mankind are more
disposed to suffer, while evils arc suffera
ble, than to right themselves l>y abolish
ing the forms to which they are accustom
ed. But, xvben a long train of abuses and
usurpations, pursuing invariably the same
object, evinces a design to reduce them
under absolute despotism, it is their duty,
to throw off such government, and to pro
vide new guards for their future securi
ty.”—Declaration of Independence.
Y r es, sir, wc wish for peace, but how is
that blessing to be preserved ! 1 shall re
peat here a sentiment I have often had oc
casion to express. In my opinion there is
nothing worth fighting for but national
honor: for, in the national honor is invol
ved the national independence. I know
may find itself in such unpro-
pitious circumstances, that jirudence may
force a wise government to conceal the sense
of indignity. But. the insult should he en
graven on tablets of brass, with a pencil of
steel. And when that time and chance,
WHICH HAPPEN TO ALL, SHALL BRING FOR
WARD THE FAVORABLE MOMENT, THEN
LET THE AVENGING ARM STRIKE HOME.
It is only by avowing and maintaining
this stern principle of honor, that peace
can he preserved.—Governor Morris’
speech, in the Senate of the V. S., Eeb. 24,
1S03.
“Countrymen ! the men who now in

AND COURTRD THEM TO ASSASS'NATE
YOU II WIVES AND CHILDREN.”—Samuel
Adams' Speech, in Philadelphia, 1 st. Au
gust, 177G.
Where are your checks in this govern
ment ? Y’our strongholds will be in the
hands o?' your enemies. It is on the sup
position that your American Governors shall
he honest that all its good qualities arc
founded, but its defective and imperfect con
struction puts it in their power to perpetuate
the worst of mischiefs should they be had
men. And, sir, would not all the xvorld,
from the Eastern to the Western hemis
phere, blame our distracted folly j n rest
ing our rights upon the contingency of our
rulers being good or bad ? bhow me
that age and country where the rights
and liberties of the people xvere placed on
the sole chance of their rulers being good
men without a consequent loss of liberty.
Isay that the loss of that dearest pi ivi-
lege has ever followed, with absolute cer
tainty, any such mad attempt. If your
American chief Le a man of ambition and
abilities, bow easy will it be for him to
render himself absolute ! The army is in
bis bands, and, if he be a man of address,
it will be attached to him ; and it will be
the subject of long meditation with him to
seize the first auspicious moment to ac
complish Ids design. And, sir, will the
American spirit solely* relieve you when
this happens'? I would rather, infinitely,
and 1 ain sure most of this convention are
of the same opinion, have a king, lords
and commons, than a government so
replete with such insupportable ex’ils.
ifweinakea king, we may prescribe the
rules by which he shall rule his people,
and interpose such checks as shall prevent
him from infringing them : but the. Presi
dent in the field, at the head of his army,
can prescribe the terms on which he shall
reign master so far that it. will puzzle any
American ever to get his neck from under
the galling yoke. I cannot, with patience,
think of this idea. If ever he violates the
laws, one of two things will happen : be
will come at the head ofliis army to carry
every thing before him ; or, he will give
bail, or do what Mr. Chief Justice will or
der him. If he be guiliy xvill not the re
collection of his crimes teach him to make
one hold push for the American throne ?
Will not the immense difference between
being master of every thing, and being ig-
nominiously tried and punished, poxveiful
ly excite him to make this hold push?—
But, sir, where is the existing force to pun
ish him ! Chan he not, at the head of his
army, beat down ovei-y opposition ?
Axx'ay with yonr President, we shall
have a king ; tlie army xvill salute him
monarch; your militia will assist in mak
ing him king, and fight against yon ; and
what have you to oppose this force ?—
What xvill then become of you and your
rights ? Will not absolute despotism
ensue?—Patrick Henry, in the Virgina
Convention June, 1788. .

Tbe honorable gentleman wbo presided,
told us, that to prevent abuses in onr gov
ernment we will assemble in convention,
“The glorious spirit of liberty is van
quished and left without hope but in a j
miracle, said desponding patiiots. ‘I con
fess,’ said Snnuel Adams, ‘we have, as
Wolfe expressed it, a choice of difficulties.
Too many Hatter themselves that their

times like these, Jcannot conceive of prudence
without fortitude.' He persevered ; but
John Adams retired front the service of

had returned to the Legislature, disorder

influence, did not impede the public cause
In Hancock, also, vanity so mingled with
patriotism, that the Government hoped to
separate him from its uncompromising op
ponents.”—Bancroft's U. S., rot. G, page
402, year 1771.
“Here, said Maybew, as he lamented
tlia cold adhesion of the timid good, and
for himself, trod the thorny path of resist
ance to the grandeurs of the world—
‘hence, there are many who see the right,
and yet the wrong pursue. Hut it is my
fixed resolution, notwithstanding many
discouragements, in my li tie sphere, to
do all I can for the service of my country,
that neither the republic nor tbe churches

And everywhere men began to enter into

As to the history of the Revolution, my
ideas may be peculiar; perhaps singular.
What do men mean by the Revolution ?
The war ? That was no part of the IteY’-
olutlon. It was only an effect and con
sequence of it. The Revolution was in the
minds of the people, and this was effected
from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen
years, before a drop of blood teas drawn at
Lexington. '1 he records of thirteen Leg
islatures. the pamphlets, newspapers, in
all the colonies, should be consulted dur
ing that period, to ascertain the steps by
which the public opinion was enlightened
and informed concerning the authority ot
Parliament over the colonies. The Con
gress of 17 7 4, re-assembled, in some respets,
though 1 hope not in many, the Council of
Nice in Ecclesiastical history. It assem
bled the priests, from tlie east and the
west, tlie north and tbe south, who com
pared notes, engeged ill discussions and
debates, and formed results by one vote and
by two rotes which went out to the world as
unanimous.—John Adams' Letter to Jeffer
son, August 14, 1S15.
Truth, being known, will prevail over
artifice and misrepresentation. In such
case no man, who is worthy of life, liberty
or pioperty, will or an erf use to join with
you in defending them to the last extremity,
disdaining every sordid Y'iexv, and the
mean, paltry considerations of private in
terest and present emolument, when placed
in competition with the liberties of mil
lions; and, seeing that there is no alternative
but absolute, unconditional submission, and
the most object slavery, or a dif cure becom
ing men horn to freedom, he trill not hesi
tate about the choice. Although superior
force may, by the permission of Heaven,
lay xvaste our towns and ravage our coun
try, it can never eradicate from the breasts
of freemen, those principles which are in

to the omniscient and omnipotent Arbiter

trusting that his Almighty arm, which has
beer, so signally stretched out for our de
fence, xvill deliver them in a righteous
cause.—John Rutledge, in the South Caro
lina Assembly, April 1 I th, 1776.
It was a maxim of the Roman people,
which eminently conduced to the greatness of
that. State, never to despair of the common
wealth. The maxim may prove as saluta
ry to us now, as it did to them. Short-sight
ed mortals see not the numerous Jinks of
small and great extents which form the
chain on which the fate of kings and na
tions is suspended. Ease and prosperity,
though pleasing fora day, have often sunk
a people into effeminacy and sloth. Hard
ships and dangers, though xve for ever
strive to shun them, have frequently called
forth such virtues as have commanded the
applause and reverence of an admiring
world. Our country loudly calls you to
he circumspect, vigilant, active aud brave.
Perhaps, (all gracious heaven avert it,)

terror; her troops have reaped the laurels
of the field; her fleets have rode, triumph

you, my countrymen, depart inglorious
from the field of fight ? You, too, can
show the trophies of your forefathers’ vic
tories and your own ; ean name the for

many of you count the honorable scars ol
wounds received, whilst fighting for your
king and country.—Joseph Warren, Bos

At the next station I didn’t get orf so
easy. I was dragged out the cars and rol
led in the mud for several minits for the
purpuss of “takin’ the conseet out of me,”
as a Seceslier kindly stated.
I was let up filially when a powerful
large Secesher came up and embraced me,
and to shoxv that lie had no hard feelings
again me, put his nose into my mouth. 1
returned the compliment by placing my
stummick suddenly again Iris right foot,
when lie kindly made a spitoon ot bis able
bodied face. Actooated by a desire to see
xvliether the Secesher had been vaxinated,
1 then fastened my teeth into his left coat-
sleeve and toor it to the shoulder. We
then vilently bunted our beads together
for a fexv minutes danced around a little,
and sot down in a mud puddle. We riz
toour feet again & by a sudden & adri<>t
mevement I placed my left eye again the
Secesher’s fist. We then rnsled into each
other’s arms and fell under a too-lioss wag
on. I xvas very much exhausted and didn’t
care about gettin up again, but the man
said he reconed I’d better and 1 conclooded
I would. He pulled me up, but I hadn’t
been on my feet more’n two seconds afore
the ground flew up and hit me in tbe bead.
The crowd said it was ltit;li old sport, but I
couldn’t zackly see where the lafture come
in. I riz and we embraced again. V\ e
careered madly to a steap bank, xvben I
got the upper bands of my antnganist and

forty feet, striking a grindstone pretty
hard. I understood he was injured. 1 hav
