of Cutaneous Affection, Chronic Catarrh, Headaci.e,
proceoding from vitiation; Affections of the Liver;
Chronic inflammation of the Kidneys and General De
bility, caused by a lorpid action of the vessels of the
skin. It is singularly efficacious in renovating those
constitutions which have been broken down by injudi
cious treatment, or juvenile irregularities. In general
terms, it is recommended in ail those diseases which
arise from impurities of the blood, or vitiation of the
humors, of whatever name or kind.
Some of the above complaints may require some
assistant applications, which the c.rcumstances of the
case will dictate ; hut for a general remedy or Purifi
cator to remove the cause, The Indian’s Panacea will
generally be found sufficient.
The following certificates, out of hundreds similar
which might be procured, are given to show the effect
of the Indian’s Panacea, in the various complaints
therein mentioned ; and also to exhibit in the most sa
tisfactory manner its superiority over the syrups in
common use.
Charleston, Nov. 15, 1831.
During the last winter and spring. I was afflicted
with a very severe and distressing Rheumatism, occa
sioned by exposure in bad weather. I now take great
pleasure in slating, that six bottles of Indian Pana
cea, restored me lo perfect health, and I confidently
recommend it to all similarly afflicted.
JOHN FERGUSON, King st.
Ch arleston. July 12. 1831.
I was afflicted four years with an ulcer in the leg,
occasionally accompanied with erysipelatious inflama
tion and an excessive pain in the leg and ancle joint.
Several eminent Phvsicians exerted their skill upon it.
but without permanent benefit. In this case, five bot
tles of the Indian Panacea made a perfect cure.

THE NEW YORK WEEKLY WHIG.
THE Second Annual Volume of The New
York Weely Whig is this day submitted to
its patrons and the public. During the brief year ot
its existence, it has been favorably re- eivtd, and now
enjoys a steadily increasing patronage and sale of 5 to
6,000 copies per week.
’The Political character of The Whig is fully indi
cated by its title. It will support the cause of Consti
tutional Liberty, Social Order, and the Supremacy of
the Laws with its whole heart and soul, and expose
corruption, peculation. Jacobinism, disorganization,
and demagoguism in high places, with no mealy-mouth
ed phraseology or craven spirit. It will call’knavery
and hypocrisy by their right names, and hold them up
to the contempt of a deceived and despoiled people.
Briefly, it will labor to restore the good old days when
integrity and ability were the chief passports to public
station, and when high functionaries seriously implica
ted in peculation and gross neglect of duty would have
scorned to hold office an hour until the charges were
on trial disproved and overthrown. It will fearlessly
contend for honesty, fidelity, and true Republicanism.
It will war against the corrupting influence of Execu
tive Patronage, the seductions of Power and Expedi
ency, and earnestly Contend for genuine Retrench
ment and Reform.
In its non-political features. The Whig will strive
to be instructive, useful and entertaining. The News
of the Day will be carefully made up from an ample
list of Exchanges in this country and in Europe, aid
ed by a valuable Foreign Correspondence. Regular
reports of commercial transactions will be given, with
a Review of the Markets, Bank Note Table. &c. &c.
The greatest vigilance will be used to afford a view
of whatever is transpiring throughout the worl i. Fi
nally, as large a portion of the paper (about one-fourth)
will be devoted to original and selected literature as
can possibly be spared from the more pressing de
mands of the times. In short, no labor or zeal will be
spared to render it universally interesting and accepta
ble.
The New York Weekly Whig will henceforth
be issued every Saturday on a large imperial sheet of
good paper in the Quarto form (eight ample pages to a
number) suitable for preservation and binding, at
Three Dollars per annum ; Five Dollars for two co
pies, and at that rate for any larger number. No sub
scription will be received without payment in advance,
nor will any paper be sent after the period of such
subscription has expired. Our patrons may therefore
be assured that they will not be troubled to stop their
papers when they shall no longer want them Please

A NAME.
BY MRS. L. H. SIGOURNFY.
Let us make us a name, lest \xe be scattered abroad
Genesis, xi. 4.
Make to thyself a name,
Not with the breath of clay,
Which, like the broken hollow reed,
Doth sigh itself away ;
Not with the fame that vaunts
The tyrant on his throne,
And hurls its stigma on the soul
That God vouchsafes to own.
Make to thyself a name,
Not such as wealth can weave.
Whose w arp is but a thread of Gold
That dazzles to deceive;
Not with the tints of Love
Form out its letters fair;
That scroll within thy hand shall fade,
Like him xvho plac’d it there.
Make to thyself a nai le.
Not in the sculptur’d aisle;
The marble oft betrays its trust,
Line Egypt’s lofty pile;
But ask of Him who quell’d
Os Death, the victor-strife,
To write it on the blood-bought page
Os everlasting life.
From the Baltimore Monument.
‘ THE EARTH IS FULL OF THY GLORY.’
BY E. YEATEB REESE.
Midnight is keeping
Vigils profound—
Starlight is sleeping
In beauty around :
Hush’d are the billows—
Cloudless the sky—
Soft ’mid the willows
The night breezes sigh.
Lo!—breaks the morning,
O’er ocean and isle—
Light is adorning
The earth with her smile!-
Dewdrops are gleaming
On beds of perfurre,
Sunshine is streaming
O’er Eden their bloom.
From valley and mountain
What melodies rise!
Woodland and fountain
Send shouts to the skies.
Ether is ringing
With notes of delight,
Sweet tones are singing
The exit of night.
God of Creation!
Whose matchless control
Gives planets their station,
And systems their roll—
Night speaks thy glory ;
Day after day,
Re-echoes the story,
As years pass away.
OUR OWN COUNTRY.
What nation presents such a spectacle as
ours, of a confederated government, so com
plicated, so full of checks and balances, over
such a vast extent of territory, with so many
varied interests, and yet moving harmonious
ly! I go within the walls of the capitol at
Washington, and there, under the star-span
gled banners that wave amid its domes, 1 find
the representatives of three territories, and
of twenty-six nations, nations in many senses
they may be called, that have within them
all the germ and sinew to raise a greater
people than many of the proud principalities
of Europe, all speaking one language —all
acting with one heart, and all burning with
the same enthusiasm —the love of our coun
try —even if parties do exist, and bitter do
mestic auarrels now and then arise. I take
my map, and I mark from whence they come ;
what a breadth of latitude, and longitude,
too —in the fairest portion of North America !
what a variety of production ! what a stretch
of sea coast, on two oceans—with harbors
enough for all the commerce of the world!
what an immense national domain,surveyed,
and unsurveyed, of extinguished and unex
tinguished Indian titles within the States and
Territories, and without, estimated, in the
aggregate, to be 1,090,571,553 acres, and to
he worth the immense sum of $1,863,589,-
659 —seven hundred and fifty millions of
acres of which are without the hounds of the
States and the territories, and are yet to
make new Stales, and to be admitted into
the Union ! Our revenue now, from the
sales, is over five millions of dollars. Our
national debt, too, is aiready more than ex
tinguished, and yet within fifty-eight years—
starting with a population of about three
millions, we have Ibughl the war of Indepen
dence, again not ingloriously struggled with
the greatest naval power in the world, fresh
witli laurels won on sea and land, —and now
we have a population of over thirteen millions
of souls. One cannot feel the grandeur of
our Republic, unless he surveys it in detail.
For example, a Senator in Congress, from
Louisiana, lias just arrived in Washington.
Twenty dtvs of his journey he passed in a
steam-boat on inland waters, moving not so
rapidly, perhaps, as other steamboats move,
in deeper waters, but constantly moving, at
a quick pace too, day and night. I never
shall forget the rapture of a traveller, who
left the green parks of New Orleans early in
March; that land of the orange and olive,
then teeming with verdure, freshness and lilt*,
and, as it were, mocking him with the mid
summer of his own northern home. He
journeyed leisurely toward the region ot ice
and snow, to watch the budding of the young
flowers, and to catch the breeze of the spring.
He crossed the lakes Ponchartrain and
Borgne; he ascended the Big Tombeckbee
in a comfortable steam boat. From Tusca
loosa, he shot athwart the wilds of Alabama,
over Indian grounds, that blood battle have
rendered ever memorable. He traversed
Georgia, the Carolinas, ranged along the
base ol the mountains of Virginia ; and for
three months and more he enjoyed one per
petual, one unvarying, ever-coming spring—
that most delicious season of the year; till,
by the middle of June, lie found himself in
the fogs of the Passamaquoddy, where tardy
summer was even then hesitating whether it
was time to come. And yet he had not been off
the soil of his own country. The flag that
he saw on the summit of the fortress, on the
the lakes near New Orleans, was the like of
that which floated from the staff on the hi.ls
of Fort Sullivan, in the easternmost extremi
ty of Maine; and the morning gun, that
startled his slumbers, among the rocky bat
tlements that defy the wild tides of the Bay
of Fundy, was not answered nil many min
utes after, on the shores of the Gulf of Mex
ico. The swamps, the embankments, the
cane brakes of the father of waters, on whose
banks the creaking alligator displayed his
ponderous jaws; the cotton fields, the rice
gounds of the low southern country, and the
vast fields of wheat and corn in the regions
of the mountains, were far, far behind him:
and he was now in a Hyperborean lane—
where nature wore a rough and surly aspect,
and a cold soil and a cold clime, drove man
to launch his bark upon the ocean, to dare
wind and wave, and to seek from the deep,
in fisheries, and from freights, the treasures
his own home will not give him. Indeed,
such a journey as this, in one’s own country,
to an inquisitive mind, is worth all ‘ the tours
of Europe.’ If a young American then
wishes to feel the full importance of an Amer
ican Congress, let him stand on the levee at
New Oi leans and count the number and tiers
of American vessels that there iie four, five
and six thick, on its long embankment.
Let him hear the puff', puff puff of the high
pressure steamboats, that come sweeping in !
almosi every hour, perhaps front a port two!
thousand miles ofl| from the frozen winter ol
the North, to the full burning summer of the
South—all inland navigation; fleeis of them
under his eye—splendid boats too, many ol
them, as the world can show; with the ele
gant rooms, neat berths, spacious saloons,
and a costly piano it may he—so that trav
ellers of botli sexes can dance or sing iheir
wav to Louisville, as if they were on a par
ty of pleasure. Let him survey all these, as
they come in with products from the Red
river, twelve hundred miles in one direction,
or from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, two thou
sand miles in another direction, from the
western tributaries of the vast Mississippi,
the thickets of the Arkansas, or White river;
from the muddy, far reaching Missouri, and
its hundreds of branches; and then in the
East, from Illinois, the Ohio, and its numeious
tributaries—such as the Tennessee, the Cum
berland, or the meanest of which, such as the
Sandy river, on the borders of Kentucky—
that will in a freshet, fret and roar, and dash,
as if it were the father of floods, till it sinks
into nothing, when embosomed in the greater
streams, and there acknowledges its own in
significance. Let him see ‘ the Broad Horns,’
the adventurous flatboats of western waters,
on which —frail bark !—the doting back
woodswan sallies forth from the Wabash, or
rivers hundreds of miles above, on a voyage
©f Atlantic distance, with hogs, horses, oxen
and cattle of all kinds on board ; corn, flour,
and wheat—all the products f rich we.-tern
lands, and let him see them, too, as he rides
the strong current of the Mississippi, as if
the wood on which he floated was realizing
the fable of the nytnpli of Ida—goddesses,
instead of pines. Take the young traveller
where the clear, silvery waters of the beauti
ful Ohio become tinged with the mud from
the Missouri, and where the currents of the
mighty rivets run apart for miles, as indig
nant at the strange embrace. Ascend with
him farther, to St. Louis, where, if he looks
upon the map, he will find that is about as
near the east as the west, and that soon, the
emigrant, who is born on the waves of pop
ulation that now beats at the base of the
Rocky Mountains, and anon will overleap its
summits—will speak of New England, as
far in the east. Aud then tell him that far
west as he is, he is but at the beginning of
steam navigation: that the Mississippi itself
is navigable six or seven hundred miles up
ward; and that steamboats have actually
gone on the Mississippi two thousand one
hundred miles above its mouth, aud that they
can go five hundred miles farther still I Take
him, then, from this land where the woodsman
is levelling the forest every hour, across the
rich prairies of Illinois, where civilization is
throwing up towns and villages, pointed with
the spire of the church, and adorned with
the college and the school—then athwart the
flourishing fields of Indiana, to Cincinnati,
well called ‘ the Queen of the West’ —a city
of forty thousand inhabitants, with paved
streets, numerous churches, flourishing man
ufactories, and an intelligent society, too —and
this is a State with a million of souls in it
now, that has undertaken gigantic public
works; where the fierce savages, even with
in the memory of the young man, made the
hearts of their parents quake with fear—
roaming over the forests, as they did, in un
bridled triumph, wielding the tomahawk in
terror, and ringing the war-hoop like demons
of vengeance let loose from belmv ! Show
him our immense inland seas from Green
Bay to Lake Ontario; not inconsiderable
oceans, encompassed with fertile fields. Show
him the public works of Ihe Empire Slate,
as well as those of Pennsylvania—works, the
wonder ol the world, such as no one people
in modern times have ever equalled. And
then introduce him to ihe busy, humming,
thriving population of New England, from
the Green Mountains o| Vermont, the Swit
zerland ot America, the northern lakes and
wale sea coast of Maine. Show him the in
dustry, energy, skill and ingenuity of these
hardy people, who let not a rivulet run, nor
a pull oi wind blow, without turning* it to
some account; who mingle in every thing,
speculate in every thing, and dare every
thing wherever a cent of money is to be
earned ; whose lumbermen are found not on
ly in the deepest woods of the snowy and
fearful wilds of Maine, throwing up saw mills
on the lone water falls, and making the woods
ring with their hissing music; but found, too,
on the banks ol the St. Lawrence, atui com
ing also on mighty rafts of deal from every
eastern tributary of the wild St. John, Me
duxnekeag and Aroostook, streams whose
names geographers hardly know. And then,
too, as if this were not enough, they turn iheir
enterprise and form companies k to log and
lumber,’ even on the Ocmulgee and Oconee
ot the State ol Georgia ; and on this dav
they are actually found in tire Floridas, there
planning similar schemes, and as there are no
vvater-falls, making steam impel their saws.
Show him the banks of the Penobscot, now
studded with superb villages—-jewels of pla
ces, that have sprung up like magic.
Show Him the hundreds and hundreds of;
coasters that run up every creek and inlet of
tide-water there, at times left high and dry,!
as if the ocean would never float them more ;
and then lift him above considerations of a!
mercenary character, and show him how New !
England men are perpetuating their high 1
character and holy love of liberty—and h uv,j
by near and elegant churches,” that adoru!
every village—by comfortable school houses, j
that appear every two miles, or oftener, up-|
on almost every road, free for every body—!
high born and low born—by academies and j
colleges, that thicken even loan iaconveni-i
ence; by asylums and institutions, munifi-:
cemly endowed, for the benefit of the poor:
and see, too, with what generous pride their:
bosoms swell when they go within the conse
crated walls ofFaneuil Hall, or point out the ;
heights of Bunker t Hill, or speak of Concord j
or Lexington.
Give any young man such a lour as this—- i
the best he can make—and i am sure liisj
heart will beat quick, when he sees the proud ;
spectacle ol the assemblage of the Represen- i
tatives of all these people, and all these in
terest within a single hall. He will more and |
more revere the residue of those revolutiona
ry patriots, who not only left us such a herit
age, won by their sufferings and their blood,
but such a constitution—such a government
fiere in Washington, regulating all our na
tional concerns—but who have also, in effect,
leii us twenty-six other governments, with
territory enough to double them by and by
that regulate all the minor concerns of the
people, acting with their own sphere ; now,
in the winter, assembling within their own
various capitols, front Jefferson Cilv, on Mis
souri, to Augusta, on the Kennebec ; from
the capitol on the Hudson, to the government
house on the .Mississippi. Show me a spec
