Yet by thesimple,efficacious VegetableMedi lcines,not poisons, they were snatched from the jaws of the grim monster, death, and restored to health, the greatest of all earthly blessings; for what is riches and elegant dwellings, without health to enjoy them. Health is the poor man’s wealth, arid the rtcli man’s bliss. To a man laboring under disease, the world is little better than a dreary solitude, a cheerless waste enlivened by no variety, a joyless scene cheered hy n > social sweets ; for the soul in a diseased body, like a martyr in his dungeon, may retain its value, but it It is lost its usefulness. “Will be added to this institution, as soon as the ne cossat y arrangements can be made, an infirmary—the cold, hot, tepid, shower, sulphur and the German, Rus sian and I'homsontan Medicated Vapor Baths; and everything that can possibly be of any advantage in lestoring the sick to health, ot relieving suffering hu manity , will be promptly and constantly attended to; arid where the student will learn by practical experi ence, (the best kind of logic,) the true principles of ihe healing art.

Among the documents which were submit ted to the Charlottesville Convention, was the following remarkable and thrilling lei.ter from Gen. M. Dallas, of Pennsylvania, to Mr. John W illis, a Delegate of the county of Orange, Mr. W. laid it before Ihe Conven tion, and made some strong and eloquent re marks—and a reso ulton was finally adopted to incorporate it with the proceedings oi the Convention. We recommend lo the Public to read this bold and powerful appeal to the South. It comes from the highest authority. There is no citizen in the Keystone State, who is mote distinguished for his talents and principles than Mr. Dallas —nor lor his servi ces in the State and National councils. 1 ‘ any Southron can lay down this letter with out deep enution—if any citizen, of North Carolina, especially, can read it without deep regret, he is not made of Hi e penetrable stuff’ which shou and belong to a Southern man: ‘Philadelphia, -29th Aug. 1840, ‘Dear S r —Your introductory letter of the 13th inst. with the introductory note from Mr. J. B. Smith, reached me some days a go, and I have impatiently waited Ibr a moment of leisure to reply to it. ‘The proceedings of the Democratic Slate Convention at Charlottesville, on ihe 9ih ol September, will exercise a strong influence upon the public opinion of Virginia, -and ntay be felt throughout the whole South. Indeed, they must be regarded, at the present lime, with great interest, in all parts of the country. The politics, the measures, and the sentiments of your Commonwealth, when forcibly and distinctly enunciated, are habitually and just ly respected everywhere; ‘The Northern and Central Democracy find it impossible to imagine that, in a con test, such as the one now waging, they are in danger of being deserted by Virginia. They have struggled vigorously ibr many years, to suppress and subdue, not (he Federal doctrines of ’9B alone, but with them the new fanaticism, whose aim, however disguised, cannot be accomplished without subverting the constitutional rights and domestic institu tions of the slaveholding States. LHitil that fanaticism allied itself to the relics rtf Federal ism, it was kept powerless. Virginia must have imperceptibly undergone an inexplica ble revolution of character, if she consent to embrace, in combination, two principles, which, singly, she has uniformly denounced and detested. ‘lt is perfectly’ well known here, that the nomination of Gen. Harrison at Harrisburg, was extorted hy the dictatorial violence and inflated promises of the Abolitionists. They do not perhaps constitute the whole of the Opposition; but they are its ruling cabal, its master spirits, and the Presidential condidate is notoriously their nominee. They exulted, publicly and privately, in their success. They are in all directions, eager, indefatigable and controlling directors ot his canvass. They regard him as their cunningly selected repre sentative, in whose elevation they foresee, if not the immediate attainment of their destruc tive purpose, certa n!y its rapid advancement. They deem the battle theirs, and anticipate reaping the only substantial harvest which a victory can yield. ‘Although it might he unjust tn say, that every Whig is an Abolitionist, by direction or indirection, it is obviously not unjust to sa v, that every Whig is vvil ing to incur the risk and responsibility of countenancing and en couraging them. The mass of Northern and central wtiigs a re far from being hostile to their principles and projects—and ihe few of them who disclaim now, would hasten to send in their adhesion, were Harrison elected, or would cease to have the slightest influence.— As on all similar occasions, the practical ctiect would be, to place (lie policy, the power, and the patronage of the successful combination in the hands of its most zealous and least scru pulous fraction. Every Whig would leel, that Abolition had chalked out tiie road to triumph—that Abolition had furnished the es ficient partisans— that Abolition had filled the ballot-boxes—and that Abolition was entitled to fair treatment. The day which ascertain ed Gen. Harrison to he the President elect, would not close without a proclamation ibr an Abolition jubilee. ‘I am not unwilling to believe that many of the Southern Whigs cordially hate Abolition, —although I cannot help suspecting that some of them would like to see raging its threatened storms, in the delusive hope of at taining, amid the general confusion, some per sonal distinction —clear it is, that their parly spirit is too strong for their patrioti-m; or, they do not know the fiend with whom they have made a compact; or, they are fool har dy enough to take to their bosom a serpent (numbed by Northern blasts) whose fangs have been specially prepared to strike deep into their own system. Surely they cannot vainly imagine, ihai by associating and cam paigning with Abolition, they may check it more effectually than by openly encountering it as an enemy. If they think to curb, guide, soothe or tame it in the hour and amid the spoils of victory, their ignorance of its real na ture, of its delirious fanaticism, is as childish as treacherous. ‘it should be recollected, that the Northern and Central Democrats have maintained the fight against Aholition tor years, actuated 1 solely by a high and honorable sense of Con stitutional obligation and attachment to their Southern brethren. Its ascendency could do them no harm. Its virus is not poison on their palate. However unpatriotic aud ungener ous it certainly would be, they might facilitate their local politics and tranquil,ze their local lends, by disclaiming all concern in the ques tion, by permitting, like a neutral, the invad er to pass unmolested through their territory; | and by leaving to domestic servitude its own defence: Such a course, l freely admit, would l>e a dereliction of public duty—But, then, my dear sir, if Southern Democrats al low themselves to be cozened and cajoled in to welcoming and comforting this very foe, whose progress ta their regions we have stea dily impeded; if, at the crisis of its pernicious career we discover, that so far from seizing the occasion to unite in extinguishing it, the ! siaveholding States abandon our long tried friendship and co-operation, to achieve a measure which lifts Abolition front the dust and seats it on the right hand of power, what are we to do? What can we be expected to do? For mv own part, a very bumble nee. \ I am ready for unremitting and oncontpromis- • ind war against a principle, whose mere et tin- j ciation in this country sounds in my ears like a j tocsin to rebellion and treason to the Consti-: tutinn. But I do not think that our knowledge of human nature warrants us in anticipating, I under the circumstances 1 have supposed, a j like resolution to be generally and permanent- Ily evinced. In fact, I do not think that the ! election of Gen. Harrison, if achieved with the aid of a single leading siaveholding Com- I monw'ealth could fail to dissolve the existing I league against Abolition, leaving it to range ! in the Eastern and Middle States unresisted, [ if not constantly recruiting. ‘Entertaining these impressions, you may ! 7/eH imagine mv gratification on receiving your assurance that noble olu Virgsnia,though deceived am! misled for a season, bad speedi ly rallied, and being convinced of ‘ the unity between the Whig and Abolition pari it s,’ would sustain the good cause, by a majority of at least five thousand. My information justifies a confident expectation of the same enlightened patriotism, from New Jersey, Ma ryland, Delaware and even North .Carolina, nor have f yet seen or heard, in any one slave holding State, a substantial cause to appre hend a different result. In Pennsylvania, die general election takes place on ihe 13th ofOct. and Ihe electoral on the SOiti of the same ! month. I shall be surprised if we do not give j !o M. Van Buren a majorily exceeding twen :ty thousand. Os Maine, New Hampshire, j Massachusetts, New York and Ohio, our friends send us accounts which relieve us from : every apprehension. j 1 am, dear sir, respectfully and truly, your most obedient servant, G. INI. DALLAS. John Willis, E".q. ANOTHER APPEAL! We lay before our readers, also, a letter which we received yesterdy morning, from a i distinguished citizen of Connecticut. Will nothing rouse up the Vv bigs of the South? Are they really determined to com mi l the in nocent sheep into the hands of the ferocious wolves? But if they will turn a deaf ear to such forcible and glowing appeals—if no movement, no fanaticism of'the Abolitionists, is to rouse them to a sense of duty or shame, then do we appeal to the great body of the Southern people, and call them to ref] etion, to action, to the anus ol’ the ballot box, to the polls: ‘‘Hartford. Sept. 9, 1840. “You will receive herewith a Circular Let ter Mo the Abolitionists of Connecticut.’ It was printed at the office of the ‘Connecticut Courant,’ of which paper Theodore D. Dwight, Secretary of the celebrated Hart ford Convention, is tbe Editor, and is the ac knowledged organ of the Harrison party in Connecticut. ‘The circular itself. A few weeks since same of the Abolitionists began to have religious scruples about supporting a candid ate capable of such duplicity and equivoca tion as was proved on Gen. Harrison, by bis own letters. They therefore issued an extra, advising their friends not to vote for cither of the two candidates for the Presidency. They did not propose supporting a third candidate or make oui an electoral ticket of their own, but merely recommended that their friends should not go to the polls. ‘Although this movement was confined to only a few, and was not an emanation from the political Abolitionists, you can scarcely conceive the dismay and consternation ol the Federalists. They immediately set to work lo reconcile their stubborn men. The more the Federalists urged Harrison’s‘peculiar cir cumstances,’ the more obstinate and deter mined were these fanatics. Under these cir cumstances, the Federalists struck out, an-j , other course. They issued the circular ad- 1 dress which I send you, and which, I would ! here remaik, was got v.,0 by Mr. Melvin Copeland, an active, noisy, Abolitionist —one of the three gentlemen composing the ‘Whig State Central. Committee’ of and who was last year elected a mew her of the Legislature from this place, on Abolition and Whig “round. This address is sent out’ifh dr r the sanction of eighteen Abolitionists, whose names you will see in the Hartford Times. ‘I perceive there are some efforts mule nt die South to create an impression that the. Whigs and Abolitionists are not iadcntified. Phis document will furnish them with pretty conclusive testimony on that subject. \\ ere the Abolitionists to abandon the Whigsor dis solve the connection, the Whig* could not make a stand in any State in the Union save Kentucky, and North Carolina, and Indiana. We do n it wish them to unite with us; but if they will abandon Harrison, he cannot get a vote in New England or New York. The Harrison party is dependent, entirely on Aboli tion votes. Poor North Carolina has been per suad'd by her Stanlys, and Raynors, and Mooreheads, to desert the tenets of tier Ma con, and all the principles she has ever sup ported, to co-operate with ‘lie Abolitionists and Hartford Conventionists ot New Eng land. ‘The Whig State Convention met in this city on the Bth instant, and nominated an Elec toral ticket. After that nomination was marie, the address Mo the Abolitionists of Connecticut’ —a copy of which I send was distributed among the members, and co pies given jhem lo circulate throughout the State. No other address was adopted or sent out from their Convention. ‘One of the Whig Electors, nominated on the Sth, Pnilip Pearl, is President ol the Windham Aholition Society, and Vice Pre sident of die State Anti Slavery Society. He is one of the most distinguished and most active Abolitionists in Connecticut, deserted the Democratic party with whom he former ly acted, because we would not become Ab olitionists, arui with others situated like hint, marie common cause with the Whigs against us in 1533, and contributed to our defeat. He is now supporting Harrison; because he favored the Abolition cause—is a candidate for Harrison Elector, and with Southern : Whigs, opposing the Administration. Such j | are the men and the means which our oppo nents are using. The South have mme at slake in this Contest than any portion of the Union. From tiie Delaware to tho farthest I sources of the Red River—from tiie Florida Keys to the Upper Missouri, there ought not, in this great struggle, to be a divided opinion. They shall not err because they have not opportunities to he righlv informed. The evidences of impending danger are thick : around them. Their old and laithlul friends, the Democrats of the North, are struggling in their cause, while the Smith itself is slum bering, or worse, as in North Carolina, are placing magazines of powder in their own habitation.’ We have read the address to which our correspondent refers. The last Hartford Times repeats, that it was issued from the office of the Connecticut Courant, the organ of the Harrison party in that Slate —that it was distributed at the log cabin in that city, on Thuesday last, t > the members of the Whig State Convention, who had assembled there to nominate a Harrison electoral ticket, and that it was sent by them to every part iof the State. This long handbill repuWfch ■ es the ‘Southern address,’ which it quotes as j one of those strong Southern appeals which is | calculated tit rouse the Abolitionists against | Mr. Van Burm. The Abolition authors of the handbill state: ‘Nor is the fact noticed at all, that, in pledg- : ing himself to the interests of the South, Mr.; j Van Buren violated every tie that naturally ! bound him to the sympathies and institutions j I of the North, and showed himself recreant to | ! the best interests and most cherished princi- j pies of the community in which he was horn 1 and educated, and tn whom he is indebted ) for ail that be fr. Nor are we reminded that, j in thus gratuitously selling himself to slavery. ’ be proved iviofoeif unworthy of confidence in ! ail re-pects, and hid virtually said to the na i tiou that iic blood ready to barter at any i time the dearest and most sacred rights ol 1 the country, to promote his own popularity, and secure the advancement of his party ad herents ’ This Abolition handbill quotes with np probation an article signed ‘Common Sense,’ which thus reprobates the course pursued by some of tiie AUiiilionists in Massachusetts in November last, when they relused to vote lor a Whig candidate for Congress: ‘At a second trial, however, he was elect ed; but not in time to reach Washington tili after the organization of the House of Re presentatives. It is wcli known that before the House was organized, live members (Whig) from New Jersey were rejected by a strictly party vote, and by a majority of only two. Now had die Van Buren members re ferred lo from New York not been there, there would have been a tie. But if the Whig candidates had been elected in their stead, then the New Jersey members would ■ have been admitted (as in all right they ; should have been) by a majority of two. And had Air. Baker of Massachusetts been there the majority would have been three. The House thus organized, would have re jected the disgraceful resolutions which pass ed that body, on die 23ib of January Inst, suppressing the constitutional right ol peti tion, by tbe triumphant majority of three. A hat a victory that would have been! when, only one year ajo, the ‘Atherton gag’ passed the House by a majority of forty seven. That this calculation is correct, will appear from tbe fact tint every big member but one from the non-slavefinlding States, voted against the resolutions, while twenty-five Ad ministration members from the same section voted for them; four Whig members from siaveholding Siaies voted also against the resolutions, while every Van Buren member from the same section voted for them. ‘No one can question the right of Mr. Smith and his associates, or that of the Abo litionists of die sixth district in Massaclm i setts, to vote as they did, or not vole at all, as they may choose. But is this ihe best way to accoinhlish their object? Have they gained any filing by the course they pursued in fiie present case? Most obviously not. And less still would be gained by a distinct political organization.’ The billowing is fiie thunder of the Address of tiie Hartford Whig Abolitionists: ‘We intend to give our suffrage for William Henry Harrison for the Presidency, and we are happy to make our intention known thus publicly. We shall give our suffrages, too, most cordially and conscientiously, ‘and in the full blase of those facts’ which are brought out, not in the Charter Oak, but in this ad d ress.’ In a word, the authors of this address strongly recommend to the Abolitionists of Connecticut to put down their own candi date, and to unite with the Whigs in voting for Gen. Harrison. We wish we had a voice that could penetrate tiie whole South ern country,in ihe trumpet tones of ibe Re velation, and tell them to arouse —awake—or be forever fallen. To the preceding evidence fur nished hy the Richmond Enquirer, we present ns an addendum the following article, which appeared o riginally its a prominent fetlero-whig newspaper: From the Essex (Salem, Mass.) Register. Mr Editor —Permit me to say a word in your paper lo those Abolitionists who are un decided in reference to their duty at ihe polls next November, and are halting between two opinions, namely, which will promote the cause of Abolition most, to vole tor Harrison or Birney.—Thai all true Abolitionists are Whigs, is a fact not to be disputed; and to call a mail an Abolitionist, who supports Marlin Van Buren and his administration, is an ab surdity too palpable to deserven moment's con sideration. The doctrines of Abolitionism and Van Burenism are two eternal antago nists; they have no affinity, and will not be at peace with each other. Rather let us at tempt to mingle light and shade, heat and cold, sickness and health, right and wrong, than to hope that the cause ol the Slave can triumph, vvliiie the present administration reigns. That the principal measures of the present administration are the offspring of Slavery, no well informed man will deny. Slavery is the usurpation of power; the crushing of all right, moral and political; the sworn enemy of the laboring class. Its poisonous darts are aimed at (he very vitals of our free institutions, and its ultimate object is to prostrate and de stroy ilte beautiful fabric of our independence. And is not the course of the present adminis tration tending to the same results? Look back over the history of tbe last twelve years, and beltoid the rapid strides that despotism lias made: the constitution to be administered as tiie executive understands it; the public) money disposed of at his will; the right of pe- j tilion destroyed; freedom of speech on the) floor ol Congress forbidden; the free use of; the Post Office abridged; the public mail ran- ’ sacked, and its contents burnt; the currency) of the country and ranged; the public money squandered to carry on a war the most dis-| graceful that ever blackened the page of His- I tory; the revenue to he locked up irt iron ’ chests, and the President to keep the keys;| and Inst but not least, a Standing Army to be raised, to fiifiil the battles of the despot. Ate : not ali fitese manceuvers, and many more liiat might he named, the fruits of the administra tion, and have they not been matured at the bidding of Slaveholders? Abolitionists, you have nothing to expect i from the party now in pmver, hut inflexible and uncompromising hostility. But what have you to expect from William 11. Harrison, if he is placed in the executive! chaii? You will have the right ol petition reslored; free discussion again permitted ac cording to its true intent and meaning; the public money to la? placed in a sound healthy condition; the Florida war ended; domestic industry protected: economy will take the: place of wasteful extravagance of the people’s money. These things and many more of like character, you may expect; and these things must be done, or the cause of the Slave ! can never be consummated. Vote then for | Harrison—for if you vote tor James G. Bir- j nev, you know you cannot elect him, andi your vote will go against Harrison, ar.d in | favor of Van Buren, and thereby ytuj wiflj bind the Slave still stronger in his wretched j condition. \\ hen Putnam tracked the Wolf to his den, j be made preparation for his destruction and ; I with the torch and rope and rifle he descended j ; arid met tbe monster taco to face, and soot.: i obtained ihe victory, AUiiilionists, you have | | tracked the monster Slavery to bis den, and i j there you stand with your weapons of eternal l truth and jusi-ce alt girt on; but vot* cannot j | reach hirn, because Van Buren and his snj ‘ tiiers are guarding the mouth of tiie den— 1 | they are Slavery’s body guard, and when you j j march up with the torch of free discuss on,! ; they blow it out; when von p r esent tije truth; ! of the Bible as your text book, you are told | it is uncon titnttotia!, ami you Irave no right I to interfere. What then must be don.? You mu-t go for Harrison; clear away tins b Jg guard of Slavery, and then march r. > with your weapons of righteousness and show the ; monster's deformity and corruption. Then ■ will public opin on spin out a rope and r'rag j him out and slay him, and bury him bey end I the hobe of resurrection. A WHIG ABOLITIONIST. Beverly, August, IS4O. From the Richmond Enquirer. UHARr.OTTESVILLE CONVENTION Virginia Jim and immovable a s krr cicn mountains We bless the day which brought the C i.ar lotlosvilLe Convention together. We i . the day, which collected so nnnv L’ e at that celebrated ana beautiful village, mvo - cd with the finest scenery which Nature could pour around it, honored by its vicutily to the tomb of Jefferson, and graced with the first Literary Institution of the State. We Itlt’ss the day which brought together so much true Virginian spirit, so much talent, so much eloquence, so much devotion to principle, so much or *er, so much discretion, so much noble bearing, such elevated senti ments. We bless the day, which lias aissi pated every possible doubt, that Virginia still true to her own great principles, as unshaken and immovable as the base of Monticelo mountain itself—and which showed moreover that the genius and eloquence is not yet gone, which has cast so much lustre upon her an nals, and which only awaits the proper oc casion to excite and bring forth in all its beauty. We shall never cease to hail the day with sincere satisfaction which brought us into contact and acquaintance with so many men of whom we have heard so often —and whose persons were more unknown to us than their reputations. But we have not come today to enter into the details which the public curiosity demands; and we must refer to the short sketch which vve copy from our worthy friend Leake’s paper, and to the journal of its proceedings. We have parted in cordial brotherhood with all our fellow-del egates, and with the most undoubted con viction of the success of our cause in Novem ber next. Not a momentary doubt fits across . trr imagination, A Committee was con stituted of 23 delegates, one to each Elector al District. It was composed ol gentlemen oflfie greatest discretion and highest charac ter—-Dr. Butler, of Southfield, and of the Ist Electoral District, at their bend. They took every pains to ascertain the probable vote in each county in each District, without forc ing the result—They appealed lb the most accurate information to the Delegates erv county—and they assured tis, that ir it calculation was made upon the bar ‘r> ,r eras allowance to the Whigs, and rate allotment to the Republicans balance sheet presents a majority to / V r Buren of 5,918. —For our own parts, e scaled some of their calculations bv the in formation vve had previously received from numerous counties; and we have come to ttie conclusion, that if our friends do their doty, we shall carry the whole Slate bv at least 7,000. We learn, that our cause is gaining in all directions, as light pours in upon the people, and the humbugs of the Whigs dissi pate into thin air. There was not a dele gate, with whom vve conversed, and we talk ed to at least a hundred of them on the result in Virginia—who did not seem to have made up a tii fimtive opinion—and there was not one of them who did not count upon n strong and triumphant majority. We therefore, an nounce to our Republican brethren every where, that. Virginia is sale, perfectly safe, for Martin Van Buren. The Convention has rendered the most es sential service to the Republican cau-e. Ic has distributed about 70,000 of the best pamphlets of the day, and several thousand of the Electoral Tickets. It has agreed up on an Address to the People, which presents in the strongest and most eloquent manner, the great principles of our party, and the mi perior qualifications of our candidates, if has agreed upon an elaborate and g n.i plan ol Comity Organization, liir bringing il our Voters to the Poll, for excluding fra nki lent votes, forming Democratic Associations, and rousing the People. It has enabled us n calculate the popular vote upon the safest elements, and to understand the devices, tricks and humbugs of the Whigs in every section of tire blare. It has enabled us to supply Corresponding Committees in many of the counties, which were not already‘supplied with them. We shall publish these Reports as soon as possible) and tlien no man can say, that we went itt vain. in fact, vve have chalked out a plan ol General Organization— and instructed our brethren how to arm to the teeth. The number of the Delegates, as recorded on Friday morning, was more than COO —hut they were hot all then put down. Some too find gone off without being recorded—Some who were present did not carry out the requisition of the Committee for their names. The whole number wan in all probability more than 700. Some estimated it as high as 790. Some counties were prevented from sending Delegates by their great distance; and some appointed alternates , who did not act for them. Several of the Eastern counties were cut off by sickness; some by the rumors oi an insurrectionary movement; and some by the rains of Friday and Saturday preceding. J3ut we have never seen a meeting more spirited and decided, more orderly and dignified! more discreet in their proceedings, and scarce iv more eloquent in their Speakers. And wo are now satisfied, ifvve entertained any doubt before, that the Orators of the Kepubiio; .•?. party out-strip their competitors as mnei ia their speaking talent, as they do in ttie justice of their cause. We have never seen a more august and imposing Convention in Virginia —one, which assembled in finer spirit, and adjourned in grealer harmony and more buo yant hopes. None has done more service to the Stare. It seals henceforth die fate of Whiggery in the Old Dominion: From the Lancaster N. H. Democrat. NATIONAL EXPENDITURES. The increase of the expenditures of the nation, and the losses it has sustained hv de laulters, are fruitful subjects of declamation against the administration. A feiv plain facts relating to the manner in which the financial ! affalirs of The Government have been eon ! ducted, w II have more weight with the peo* [ pie than all the wholesale charges brought ! against it.
