ABOUT BUAuDRKTUVS PILLS AND
THEIR EFFECTS.
A Vegetable and Universal Medicine, proved by
experience of ffiousands to be, when properly perse
vered with, a certain cure in every firm of the Only’
One Disease, all having the same origin, and invari
ably arise from the UNIVERSAL ROOT of all
lisease, namely, IMPURITY or IMPERFECT
circulation of the BLOOD.
In a period of little mure than three years in the
United States, they have restored to a state of health
and enjoyment over ONE HUNDRED THOUS
AND persons, who were given over as incurable by
Physicians of the first rank and stanJing, and in ma
ny cases where every ether remedy had been resort
\ <id to in vain.
In all cases of Pain or Weakness, whether it be
chronic or recent, whether it be deafness or pain in the
side, whether it arise from constitutional or some im
mediate cause, whether it be from internal or externa!
injury, it will be cured by persevering in the use of
these Pills.
The great principle of ‘ PURGING’ is beginning
to be appreciated. It is found much more convenient
to take an occasional dose of half a dozen Pills, and
be always well, than to send for a Doctor and be bled,
blistered and salivated—with the certainty that if you
are not ki led, you will be sure to have months of mis
erable weakness, and the only one who is benefitted is
your Doctor. Look at the dilTerence between the ap
pearance of those two persons—one has been treated
by your regular practitioner—see how pale and debil
itated ho is ; see how the shadow of death throws his
soli: ary glance from emanated his cour.ti nance;see how
he trembles in every limb ; his eyes sunk ; his teeth
destroyed ; his constitution, perhaps, irrecoverably
gone—yet, just hear how he arrogates to himself cred
it. He says, ‘ most inveterate ease of liver complaint’
—‘ nothing but the most energetic remedies saved
him.’ Energetic measures ! i. e. Mercury and Bleed
ing ruined his constitution, better say. So to save
life you must half poison with that comforter of the
teeth and gums—MEßCUßY—and positively make
a man miserable the sad remainder of his existence ;
this is called curing. Shocking fody.
Let us now loo* at your 1 purged’ man—the man
who has taken Brandreth’s Pills for Liver Complaint
—lie has the firm, elastic tread of conscious strength,
bis countenance is clear anil serene, Lis eye is full And
sparkling with the (eeling of new life and animation ;
he has been confined a few days to his bed, hut he
used nothing but the true Brandreth’s Pills,
and soon rose without any injury being sustained by
his constitution. Instead of being for months in a
weal; sta'e, he will be stronger after lie has entirely
recovered from the attack ; because his blobd arid
fluids have become purified, and having purged away
the old and impure fluids, the solids are thereby reno
vated, and ho is not borne down by useless particles,
but Ims renewed his life and body both.
The principle of purging with Brandreth’s Pills re
moves nothing but the useless and decayed particles
front the body—the morbid and corrupt humors of the
blood; those humors which cause disease—they im
pede the functions of the liver when they settle upon
the muscles, produce rheumatism ; or, upon the nerves,
produce gout ; or upon the. lungs, produce consump
tion ; or, upon the intestines, ccstlveness; or, upon
the lining of the blood vessels, apoplexy and paralysis,
and all the train of disorders so melancholy to the
sufferer and all who behold them.
Yes, purging these humors from the body is the
true cure for all these complaints, and every other
form of disease ; this is no mere assertion, it is a
demonstrable truth, and each day ii is extending it
self ; ‘ar and wide it is becoming known, and more
and more appreciated.
The cure by purging may more depend upon the
laws which produce sweetness or purity than may be
generally imagined. Whatever tends to stagnate will
produce sickness, b rause it tends to putrefaction ;
ill’ rcforc the necessity of constant eSerc'se is seen.
When constant exercise cannot he used FROM
ANY CAUSE, the occasional u-c of Opening
Medicine is ABSOLUTELY required. Thus the
conduits of the Blood, the fountain of life, are
kept free from those impurities which would prevent
its steady current ministering health. Thus, morbid
humors are prevented from becoming mixed with it.
It is nature which is thus assisted through the means
and outlets which she has provided for herself.

MEDICAL REMOVAL.
DR. B. 14. THOMAS
BEGS leave to inform the afflicted and the public
generally, that he has removed from Columbus,
Georgia, to Selma, Alabama, and is prepared lo at
tend and treat all diseases both acute and chronic, on
a plan more successful and far superior to any thing
known among physicians, linking read, studied and
practised many years with the most eminent German.
Indian, and Durham Doctors, both in the United
States and Canada, and purchased ail their valuable
secret recipes, and having made an arrangement with
the Northern Botanic Shakers to cultivate and collect,
at the proper season of the year, ail the valuable effi
cacious remedies known and used by the most suc
cessful practitioners, his medicines will always be
fresh and genuine, and doubly efficacious in removing
diseases lo any medicines ever offered for sale in the
United States, and cannot fail to relieve all curable
diseases.
The following list includes some of the very many
different diseases which Ire has generally treated with
entire success, to the astonishment oi thousands •
scrofula, king’s evil, long standing sores of every de
scription, white swellings, obstinate eruptions of the
skin, affections of the kidneys, bladder, strictures, &zc.
iVffofits, dropsy, cough, pain and soreness in the
breast, whooping cough, quinsy, croup, |C"p’ asthma,
rheumatism, liver complaints, connected with a dis
eased state of the hunts, diseases of the liver, con
sumption in the first stage, general debility, loss of
appetite, indigestion, inflamation of the stomach and
bowels, piles, -EJ 23 fistula, St. Anthony’s fire,
sCJ 0 AU cises sf biliousj scarlet and typhus fevers,
inflammation of the heart, nervous and scrofulous of the
membranes and ligaments, cancers, and all diseases
arising from impurities of ihe bicod, and those
diseases peculiar to females can be cured with cer
tainty, including I - ffo sterility. An infallible
cure for all mercurial diseases with venerial teint, in
all its forms, stages, types and shadows. A newly
discovered remedy'for the gravel, which, without de
falcation, will dissolve the calculus or stone, in the
kidneys and bladder, —$10,CC0 has been offered for
the recipe of compounding tins medicine.
N. B. Persons afflicted wish any of the-above dis
eases, or any other to which the human family is
subject, that is within reach of medical skill, can be
speedily restored to health by sending the symptoms
of their diseases in writing to Dr. B. R. Thomas, in
Selma, Alabama, where he will select, compound and
prepare, at his Bo an : c Pharmacy, medicines exactly
to suit their diseases. Although they may be of ma
ny years standing, attended by a dozen different doc
tors, and called by as many different names, is no

ELECTION OF A BELLMAN—RIVAL ORA
TORS.
(From Blackwoocrs Magazine for September.)
I don’t believe that there ever was a man 1
who was a great orator, or a great poet, or a
great any tiling, (except, perhaps, a great
ass,) without knowing it. There never was
such a thing as a mute inglorious Milton, a
dumb Demosthenes, or a blind Thomson of
Duddingsfone. It is therefore not to be sup
posed that Mr. Sinipkinson, senior, was igno
rant of his own powers; so far from it, in
deed, that I have even heard it hinted that, if
it were possible, he overrated them ; hut this,
even if it were true, is a very venial fault, for
it is surely better to be a little anxious to dis-
cover and dwell upon modest merits, ivheiev
er they are found, whether m one’s self or in
others, than to dehy or undervalue them.
There were lew things in which Mr. Simp
kfnsoh found hiihself deficient —history, theo
logy, architecture, sporting, politics, business,
or accomplishments, were equally at his fin
ger ends; but bis forte, as I have already
hinted in my attempt to explain the reason of
his calling his son Plant age net instead of
Stubbs, was decidedly oratory. He was ora
torical at breakfast, at dinner, in the news
room, m buying a pound of snuff, in order
ing a pair of trowsers. In fact, he was alto
gether an orator; and you could no more
have stood five minutes under an archway
with him than with Edmund Ettike, without
discovering that lie was an extraordinary
man. Mr. S mpkinson was of no profession ;
ii was hinted he was sleeping partner in the
Chndfield cloth mills, and also that lie had a
share in Stubb’s brewery; but whether lie
had entered into any of those speculations or
not, does not materially concern any body
hut himself. Mr. Padden also lived, as the
phrase has it, on his means; a plain man,
without much affectation, except an affecta
tion of knowing whether any tiling was ‘ gen
tlemanly’ or not —a sort of provincial Ches
terfield, who forgave any “thing, however
wrong—murder itself, I verily believe—pro
vided it were done in a gentlemanly manner.
His origin, like that of the Guelph family,
was unknown. He maintained a strict si
lence, as indeed you find is done by all the real
aristocracy, on the subject of his ancient des
cent, and even on the inferior point of the
achievements of his former days ; hut people
in our town suspected, from an almost super
human knowledge he displayed about ribbons
and sarsenets, that he must have come from
Coventry. This suspicion had been hinted
to him by one or two of his acquaintance ;
but he showed so much touchiness and irrita
bility on the subject, that few people would
have ventured to renew the insinuation. This,
I grant, is a very meagre account of our two
chief inhabitants; but I hope any deficiency
in exactness or resemblance will lie supplied
in the next edition of Lord Brougham’s
sketches of distinguished characters in the
reigns of the two last Georges. Therein al
so, let it be permitted me to hope that Tapps
will not be forgolten.
On the evenlful Tuesday t'ne lllh, the
whole town rushed distractedly to the Town
hall—Tapps on the one side of the chair;
Hicks, the rival candidate, on the other ; the
mayor between the two, looking as like as
he could to Hercules between vice and vir
tue; the expectant faces of the assemblage;
for it was rumored that Mr. Simpkinson would
speak; these with the inferior afcbessories of
clerks at the table, and the widow of the de
ceased bellman in the foreground, bearing the
badge of her late husband’s office, during this
momenious interregnum, formed a subject
which I feel surprised has not yet been seized
upon by Hayter or Wilkie. A bustle is heard
in the middle of the hall; an arm bearing aloft
a best white beaver, waves impatiently for
ward to the chair; a way is made, and Mr.
Padderi mounts the steps, and turns towards
the audience as if in act to speak. He
speaks, he swells, he waves his hand, lie
tliupips the table. On heavens! oh earth!
oh sea ! he concludes a powerful harangue by
proposing Hicks! What! Padden propose I
Hicks, when he knew ; when all Buzzleton ;
when all England knew that Simpkinson sup
ported Tapps! Astonishment kept the whole
assembly silent lor a space, which was only
interrupted by the short proud cough with
which the orator cleared his throat. His
throat was at lasi cleared ; lie stood forward
a little, and, beginning in a low voice,
he worked himself into a paroxysm of elo
quence ; then sinking his tone, went through
the whole compass of his wonderful voice ;
(leeching, praying, roaring, bullying, scolding,
stamping, and thumping, sometimes the little
table, sometimes one hand against the other,
till it was impossible not to believe that he
was Demosthenes, and was speaking Greek.
I have every reason to believe (hat what he
did,say was, in fact, as good every bit as
that illustrious language to the greater part of
his auditory. ‘ When t reflect,’he fiSid, ‘on
t'ne momenta neons interests for which we are
here dissembled, I feel that in this question is
evolved, not the mere office of bellman, high
and lionouiable as that office is, hut the glo
ry, the might, the power, and independence
of the rate-payers of Buzzleton. What! are
we to cringe to a divaricated hallucination?
Are we to bend ourselves at the shrine of a
dephlogisticated parabola, and yield intense
Submission to the dictates of an anathematis
ed hyperbole? Perish the thought! Tapps,
and no other —no Hicks—creeping through
existence under the adumbrated essence of
metaphorical seclusion ! No Hicks—bearing
, aloft in one hand the embodied ingenuity of
detruncated velocity; and in the other, the
faded majesty of meretricious susceptibility—
no H'cks, with the tiger eyes of humanity
breathing forth the condensed malignity of
atrocious horror! Tapps—Tapps only, shall
be bellman of this town !’ (Great Cheers.)
But it is impossible to report the speech sis
it deserves; and therefore, as I recollect
reading n some book of criticism, that the
great art of elevating one’s hero consists not
in mere description, hut in representing the
effects produced bv him upon others, I shall
proceed to the next morning; namely, Wed
nesday the 12th, when the following corres
pondence took place

whose voice I ever obey ; and therefore, sir,

Translated from ihe Spanish paper Noticicso de Am
bos Mundot.
In what country do we live ?— Such
is the enquiry of every impartial man upon
learning the imprisonment of Messrs. Ruiz
and Montes. In what country do We live ?
we likewise enquire, hardly crediting the evi
dence of our senses, though we have seen
with our own eyes, and heard with our own
ears the fact ; nay, touched with our hands
the prison walls of these unfortunate, friend
less Spaniards. Are we, peradventure, i:i
some land inhabited by savages—are we un
der the despotic sway of the Grand Sultan—
under the iron rod of a Nero or Caligula—
amid the reign of terror of tiie French re
public, or under the scimitar of the Dey of
Algiers. No, sir; we are in a republic, where
we are told there are laws—where we are
told the rights of men are sacred - where we
are told property is protected—where they
speak of affording hospitality and an asylum
to the stranger —where they say we all ate
free; where the constitution of the land says
so ; where the slavery of the negro is recog
nized ; where the very Congress has forbid
den the reading within that body of petitions
in favor of the slaves—where the govern
ment has refused to recognize the indepen
dence of St. Domingo to avoid the reception
of a black ambassador at Washington ; and
yet, notwithstanding ail this, be it known, to
the astonishment of the whole congregated
World, that just after Ruiz and Monies had
miraculously escaped from (he daggers of the
revolted negroes, and brought the schooner
Amistad to these shores, to throw themselves
into the arms of North Americans, imploring
their aid and protection, these wretched
Spaniards are seized upon and locked np
within the iron bars of a prison, under the
frivolous pretext of an insufficient and infor
mal complaint, purporting to have been made
by some of the negroes, that they have been
falsely imprisoned and ii! treated by their pre
sent owners.
This malicious, calumnious, and vile com
plaint needs no refutation; it is a pity that
the abolitionists, who are the originators of
this high-handed perfidy and low infrigue,
should thus discredit the cause of freedom ;
we do not approve of slavery, but when such
vile and infamous means are used by the ad
vocates of abolition, will they fail to arouse
the indignation of the civilized world? where
is good faith, where the principles of justice ?
Every body knows that these negroes were
slaves in the island of Cuba, and that Ruiz
and Montes purchased them on a plantation
near Havana, (an occurrence which frequent
ly takes place in the capital itself of these
United States,) that they were taking them,
with the requisite licence, to their residence,
another place in the same island, to employ
them in their service; that the negroes mu
tinied on board of the vessel and murdered
the captfliti and cook, arid that Ruiz and
Montes suffered the most cruel treatment for
about two months when they were at the
mercy of these savages ; that Montes is an
old gentleman, nearly sixty years of age, and
that his health is broken down in consequence
of the many sufferings and the cruel wounds
inflicted by the hand of the very negro, (the
ring-leader,) vvhose false deposition has been
sufficient to induce two Judges in tiie United
States (we blush when we tel! ii) to issue an
order to hold to hail these two friendless and
distressed strangers; such is the hospitality
which these Spaniards have found in tins
country, such the protection which has been
given to them ! We appeal to the judgement
of all civilized nations, we appeal to the con
science of all honest men in the five portions
of the globe.
How could a deposition extracted by the |
intrigue of a few wicked men with the names j
of abolitionists be taken at all into considera
tion ? Where is the sanction of the oath of.
men who are in the first place notorious mur-1
derers, and in the second place savages igno
rant of the existence of the divinity and with-j
out more idea of the Holy Bible tl.an we have
of what has never existed ? In the next place j
who can believe that the language and mean- ■
ing of these negroes, who speak none of the
cultivated languages and whose depositions;
have been taken through a negro interpreter j
picked up by the abol tionists, Lord knows!
where, have been truly and faithfully inter-j
preted ? But even supposing that all is true
and that these slaves or some of them were!
whipped at Havana or on board of the Span-1
ish schooner by order of Ruiz and Montes,;
(which is entirely false) have the tribunals of
this country power to apply their laws to that
pretended crime?
And supposing further that they had juris j
diction in the matter, and assuming that a
judge cannot refuse the granting of an order !
to arrest or hold to hail persons upon a charge
like the present, on what principles of justice
and equity have Judges S. Jones ami D. P.
Ingraham rested when they required from ;
Mr. Ruiz hai! for two thousand dollars and
from Mr. Montes bail for one thousand?—
We have observed that in many instances in
which while citizens have been assaulted,
wounded and ill treated, unless the wound*
were mortal or dangerous, haii has generally
been required only in about five hundred dol
lars, and notwithstanding tliis unfounded
complaint so obviously iniquitous and has ’,
Messieurs Jones and Ingraham have had the
audacity to require bail in one and two thon
sand dollars, h there no partiality/ is there
sound judgment in ihs? Is this the civiliza
tion so much boasted of?

EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL AT PARIS.
A suit between M. de Pontalba and hi 4
wife, lately pending in one of the French
courts, is thus sketched in the Moniteur:—
‘M. de Pontalba is one of the greatest propria
etors of France. His son had been a page of
Napoleon, and afterwards a distinguished
officer, aid-de-camp to Marshall Nev, and a
protege of the Duke of Elchingen. He mar
ried the daughter of Madame d’ Almonaster,
and for some lime they lived happily; but ori
the death of her mother. Madame de Pon
talba began to indulge in such extravagance
that even the enormous fortune of the Pon
talbas was unequal to it.
Tnis led to some remonstrances on the part
of the husband; on the morning after this
she disappeared from the hotel, and neither
he qor her children had any clue to her re
treat. At last, after an interval of some
months, arrives a letter from New Orleans, iri
which she announces that she means to ap
ply fur a divorce; but for eighteen months
nothing more was heard ofher except by her
drafts for money. At last she returned, but
only to afflict her family. Her son was at
the military Academy at St. Cyr ; she induc
ed him to elope, and the boy was plunged iri
every species of debauchery and expense.
This afflicted in tiie deepest manner the
grandfather, who revoked the bequest which
he had made him of about 4000/ a year, and
seemed to apprehend lor him nothing but fu
ture ruin and disgrace. The old man, eighty
two years of age, resided in his chateau at
Mont Leveque, whither in October, 1834
Madame de Pontalba went to attempt a re
conciliation with the wealthy senior. Then
and there occurred the most extraordinary;
and unaccountable scene that, though we
have read one hundred French novels, we
have ever met with.
On the lfith of October, the day after Ma
dame de Pontalba’a arrival, she found she
could make no impression on the father-in
law, and was about to return to Paris, wheti
old M. de Montafoa, at the age of eighty
two, observing a moment when she was alone,
in her apartment, entered it with a brace f
double-barrelled pistols, locks the door, end
approaching hi3 astonished daughter-in-law;
desires her ‘ to recommend herself to God,
for that she had but a few minutes to lire;’
but he dees not even allow her one minute $
he fires immediately, and two balls enter her
left breast. She starts up and flies, her blood
streaming about, to a closet, exclaiming that
she will submit to any terms if he will spare
her. ‘No, no; you must die!’ and he fires
his second pistol.
She had instinctively covered her heart
vvitii her hand; that hand is miserably frac
tured by the balls; but saved her heart. She
then escapes to another closet, where a third
shot is fired, without effect; and at last she
rushes in despair to the door; and while M.
de Pontalba is discharging his last barrel at
her, she succeeds in opening it. The
alarmed by the firing, arrive, and she is sav
ed. The old man, on seeing that she is be
yond his reach, returns to his apartments,
and blows out his brains.
It seems clear that he had resolved-to Hiako
a sacrifice of the short remnanl of his own
tile, in order to release his son and his grand
son from the unfortunate connexion with Ma-.
dme de Pontalba. But he failed; none of
her wounds were moral, and within a month
;.fter, Madame de-Pontalba, ‘ perfectly re
covered, in liiffli health and spirits, radiant
and crowned with flowers, was to he seen at
all the fetes and concerts of the capital.’ ,
In the meantime a suit for restitution of
conjugal rights was pending between her and
her husband ; and toward the end of last
October a final decree of the Court enjoined
that Madame de Pontalba should return un
der. marital authority, and should reside in
sucii of her husband’s houses as he should
appoint ; excepting only with admirable
delicacy; the Chateau de Mont Leveque,
where the bloody scene had been acted !’
‘ Waking vp the JVrciig Passenger.’ —Tho
following good ’un, related by our Philosopher,’
is new to us: Tom P , an unsophisticated
son of Erin, wishing to take the stage lor a
journey, put up at a tavern from whence it
was to start; and he was put in a room with
a colored man. He of course took a parting
glass with his friends, and was put to bed
somewhat mellow, and as soon as lie fell asleep,’
his jovial friends blacked his face all over, like
the ace of clubs. Before daylight, he was
called in a hurry, and took his seat in the stage
without paying his morning respects to his
mirror. In a couple of hours, the stage arri
ved at the stopping place for breakfast, and
Tom, on account of his color, was shown in
a different room from the other passengers,
arid left there alone. In a few minutes, how
ever, he discovered his sooty phiz in (he glass,
and then li e whoL- house was alarmed by his
shouts—‘What is the matter, man?’ ex
claimed tiie people who came rushing into
the room.” ‘Malhurisit? O murther —mur-
ther—they have woke up the wrong passen
ger. It’s the nagur they have woked and
not me ; and there I am asleep at the tavern
when 1 ought to be half way on me journey.’
! Osh honey—och honey—how much will it
stand me, to have the driver go back and get
me.’ — Boston Post.
Applause. —When I was a hoy, I once
wenl to the theatre. The tragedy of Ham
let was performed; a play possessing some
noble thoughts, and.much subtle morality.
The audience listened with admiration and
applause. I said to myself, ‘it must be a
glorious thing to obtain this empire over man’s]
intellects and emotions.’ But now an Italia*
mountebank appeared on the stage a man
of extraordinary strength and slight of hand,
he performed a variety of juggling tricks, ants.
distorted his body into a thousand surprising
and unnatural positions. The audience were
transported beyond themselves ; if they had
felt delight in Hamlet, tliey glowed with rap
ture at the mountebank. They had listened
with attention to the lofty, though they were
snatched away from themselves by the mar
vel of the strange posture. ‘ Enough.’ said
I in correcting my former notion, ‘ where is
j the glory of gaining applause, or ruling men’^
I minds, when a greater enthusiasm is excited
! bv mere bodily agility than was kindled by
i the most wonderful emenationsofa iranscend-
I ant genius.’ I have never forgotten the im
! pressings of that evening. - Buhner.
A homicide of rather a singular character
was perpetrated Last Thursday near Syra
cuse. A pedlar, bending under the weight
o! his pack, encountered on one of the by
roads of that region a foot pad who demand
ed his money. The pedlar handed out his
pocket book. ‘ls this all!’ asked the robber.
‘ No,’ said the pedlar. ‘YY ell, tfien, fork up,
and he quick !’ The pedlar put his hand in.
his bosom, drew’ out a pistol .and shot the
robber through the L^ait. The holy was.
recognized as that of a convict jut di charged
from the Auburn prison.—[Buffalo Corn
