He believes that Mr. Madi son’s report to the Legislature of Virginia, in 1798. aud ML Jefferson's resolutions of 1799, are uow, as they have ever been, (he political text books of the Democratic party. Tho most important fea tures of ihe doctrines which they iuculcuted, are, a strict construction of the Constitution of the United States; a total abstinence on the part of Congress from the exercise of all doubtful powers; a sacred regard for tho rights, aud a hearty support pass by the elements of strength possessed by such men, to reject new wine in new bottles uud to stumble about iu dark places for broken vessels and tasteless, atrcugtbiess dregs, would bo absurd. We do not mean this figure of speech iu an offen sive seuse; we venerate* piety, and respect the veteran politicians who have outlived their early friends, and iuiluence with the people; but we say, »J.decline tho Fillmore mixture, and patronize | what every ouo knows, that tue efliciency and etjuick specifics uud infullibles of the military j strength of the mau whose popularity is of the pie- f- .. ..... .... . . •- sent day, and connected with living issues, must be greater tbau that which depends upon tradition, und unforgotten measures of party policy.

[communicated.] Mn. EoiToit:—There is so much good sense in the following extract from a Conservative Whig paper in Massachusetts, that I would thunk you to give it a place in your next paper. I fully concur with the writer, iu most of his views. [FROM THE N EWB CRT PORT HKIUL1).] New flnmpftliirc Election. The annual election in New Hampshire occurred oa Tuesday*. Generally there seems to be a union among tho Whigs anil Free toilers, to defeat the Democratic candidates ; and the coalition for this purpose, it is thought, may bo successful, notwith standing the great strength of the ultra Democracy of that Ftate. There being no principle concerned in the matter, but only a scramble for office among ambitions aspirants, such as disgraces and endangers republican institutions, wo feel no interest in die contest, in the absence of*any personal knowledge of the character of the candidates. Our hope is that the best men—the men possessing the most intellectual ability, moral integrity, ami enlarged benevolence, will fie elected, by whatever party they may be presented : and were wc entitled to a vote in tlie State, we should discard nil party bias, to manifest aud give effect to this desire. Whenever aud wherever the contest for broad and imperishable principle degenerates into a mere strug gle for the honors and emoluments of office, or iuto personal animosity, wc cease to care for the success of party organization, nnd deem it by fur the wisest course to nid iu the election of men whose honesty and ability are most manifest, aside from any peculiur views of either important or trivial political measures tlicv may entertain. \Ve may be somewhat singular in the view, but we are convinced that as our country becomes more )K>jmlous, wealthy, and jHiwerful, and the offices more numerous and more lucrative, the bartering of princi- doubt caused serious omharrassmeut. Payments from the country have consequently been slack. Tho resources of our banks have doubtless been ! more limited from this causo. which, combined $100 a thousand, and fine Tobacco, Cider, Ale. Porter, Cheese,Crackers. Beef Tongue*. Dried Beef, Pickles, Preserves, Nuts, Frits, Olives, Capers, Prunes, Figs, Grapes, Sardines, and a fnll assortment of fine Can dies. Also, one thousand and one more articles. with tho low general prices for cotton, has not' which cannot find room in this advertisement. 32-1 y been commensurate with our obligations and our scale of general expenditure. This will account for much of the pressure ex perienced at the present season, and extends be yond tho period to which all looked for re lief. We at the South, with tho possession of a product which is the great medium of purchasing power abroad for tho whole Union, should not experience any hut the most temporary pecuniary embarrass ment. While money bears a high price at the North, the Mirth will require prompt liquidation of their Southern balances. But money is now becoming reduudunt all over tho world. Iu Eng land it is worth but two per cent, per annum. Largo sums are crossing the Atlantic for invest ment in our securities. Tho same causes which chcapeu money abroad, should tend, at least, to render it easier ut the South. If our Southern cit ies were totally cut oil* from those means by \vhich tho facilities, through moneyed negotiations, aro obtained—if we were walled ill by a Chinese poli cy—we could scurcely exhibit a greater anomaly flmii a difficult money market, whilst all the world besides aro sufieriug under a plethora.

Hence the ubsurd efforts to make it a test of Democratic orthodoxy on the part of men who have been elevated iuto office by Whig votes, against the opposing votes of au overwhelm ing majority of their former Democratic friends. To this last hope, too, might ho seen clinging, like shipwrecked sailors to u floating spur, the two co-operators of Mr. Foote in the Southern co alition. Dolefully did the appeal come Irom tho deserted Downs, clamorously from the consistent Clemens. Equally futile was the eflurt on tho part of both, though the doctriues of the Procla mation and* Force Bill, and the old federal con struction of tho Constitution, were cullud iu to their aid: not to mention the endorsement of those doctriues by the ex-secretary of Geu. Jackson, who, it} imitation of his great exemplar, has siuce apparently iccuuled mid abjured them. With all these aids nud appliance*, however, it was ascer tained that nothing could he done in the Senate- Then tho bright thought struck the leaders of the Coustituiioiml'Union-Whig-Democratic-State Riglits-party of Georgia to erect n uow platform ou this basis, and make it also the Baltimore plat form- The utter fuilure of that project had scarce ly beeu ascertained when Gov. Cobb, in hot haste, came ou to this field of bis former labors, und co incident was tne apparition of this troubled pbun. torn of “ fluidity” in thu speech of Mr. Cbnstaiu. Since that ill-omened day. Loud and slirtll, As Gussliawk’s whistle on the hill, have risen tho sharp aud queruluus voices uf the pugnacious pacificators of tho Union party, in one incessant scold. Souio have even resorted to mure striking manifestations of the peculiar mer its of their plan “ fur harmonizing the party ”— while others have brought buck to memory those good old times When pulpit drum ecclesiastic Was beat with list, instead of a stick. Aud what has been the result uf all these re (muted efforts to revive dead issues, and renew (last strife—to disturb tho existing armistice und carry out the aspiration, ‘let discord reign forever?’ Nothing, save the conviction that these compro misers •• at all hazards and tu tho last extremity ” aro the real “agitators ” ou this question, instead of their opponents whom they reviled lor heiug so, when “ agitation ” had a meaning, a purpose, nud au aim, beyoud the hope of spoils, or the dreud of exclusion from party organization. But these Union Democrats cannot even claim or ex ercise the poor privilege ol enjoying a ninuupuly of lliis humbug, Inr the especial friends of tho ad ministration swenr most lustily that it is their pro, perty, while those of Mr. Webster prefer equally stroug claims fur him, aud both clamorously.cail ou Gen. Scott to put himself right upou it, ns the true Whig platform. Thus we see the curious spectacle presented of one nnd thu suinu measure being brought forward as the lest of Democratic orthodoxy ou tho oue side, aud o[ Whig ortho doxy ou thu other. A portion of each parly in either instauce protesting against tho introduction of such test, aud refusing to recognize it. If there really he such a striking coincidence of opinion and unity of sentiment upon this question, which both put forward as paramount, then u coalition ol these duality men would seem the inevitable result. Well, thut utlompl was made iu the effort to organize thu celebrated Compromise Uuiou party, which sprouted up and rutted down in this city iu the same week, aud which, under various pretexts and disguises, renewed efforts have beeu made to re-unimate. It seems, therefore, that since neither wing of the compromisers, the Whig or the Democratic, can claim or enjoy a monopoly of this thing, aud will uot coalesce: Siuce they cau neither compel the balance of their own political party to adopt it as a parly platform, or ensure their exclusive possession of it if they could : Since the only issue it can make, mast be be tween thoso who are striving to hurmouise past difficulties: aud Siuce it is iu itself a mere inokery, and a cheat: that for all these, and many other reasons equally stroug, the part both of policy aud patriotism must be tu put au end to this agitation, and make a finale of this “ finality." in order “ to givo pence to this distracted country.” [from THE NEW TURK EXPRESS.] Fraud iu Drags. Few persons, among the thousands who sutler from adulterated uud counterfeit drugs and medi cines, have any suspicion of tbo extent of theirnse. Until the Colleges of Pharmacy took measures to secure the country against the impositions prac tised by mercenary fabricators nnd adulterators, the amouiit was incalculable. Even uow, since an inspection uf imported drugs has beeu establish ed iu our custom-house, ou their recommendation, It requires constaut attention to keep the nuisance uuder check. We learn, from the March number oftbeNew York Journal of Pharmacy, that the importation, manufacture, and sale of spurious drugs are still continued, mid to an extent still quite formidable, but that they will be gradually much reduced and more uud more kept out of tho markets aud the shopsgouernlly. Not only js tho inspector's duty faithfully performed, but scienti- !

Reed, Bates & Austin, Gentlemen:— For the last sis years rty wife has been almost constantly atHicted with that most distressing mala dy. Dyspepsia. Frequently during that period of time, she lias been compelled to give up the ordinary cares of my family, and confine herself to the bouse, if not to lier room. Her attendant symptoms were constipation of tlie bowels, headache, pain in the side, acidity of the stomach, severe nausea, and dejection of spirits; and for weeks at a time, scarcely a particle of moistarc made its appearance on the surface of the chest or limbs The most simple food, when taken into tho stomach, would cause distress. In tho meantime, various remedies were resorted to, but without success. Near the close of last autumn, when much reduced in health and strength, she was earnestly solicited by a lady in Boston, who Iiad been greatly benefitted by using the snme. to procure and take the Oxygenated Bitters. She diu so. In less than one week she was greatly relieved, and in less time than one month, was able to super intend all household cares of the family. She is now restored to a good degree of health and strength. Therefore, from what 1 have seen and known in her case, 1 take great pleasure in recommending tho use of Dr. Green's Oxygenated Bitters to every person who may bo so unfortunate ns to be afflicted with Dyspepsia.
