NEW YOR HERALD. April 6, 1842, —Phem Indictments, Yesterday Judge Kent delivered the decision of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, in the several ca- ees of the Wall street editors, relative to trials on «*them indictments.” The judge decided that they should all be tried in the Oyer and Terminer- -and not the Sessions, the reasons being “seen by every one. For the particulars we refer our re sders to the report in another column. On Thursday next, therefore, th e trial for a whole batch of libels on the highest criminal court tn be State, will come up before Judge Kent, against the fellowing Wall street editors: é Charles King, 6f the New York American, James Brooks, of the Daily Express, Wm. B. Townsend, do, : Wm. L. Stone, Commercial Advertiser, Francis Hall, do do, ‘This trial will form an era in the moral history of {ie newspaper préss, and in the administration of jus- tice in New York. For many years the Wall street priats, regulated by party politicians and speculators, have lorded it over all the elements of society—pol- luting the fountains of justice—and threatening the judges with their deepest damnation if they did not obey their behests. The esta- blishment of the penny, or cash press, was the first{blow to the “mystery of iniquity”"—to the Moloch of Wall street—to the unseen power in that avenue of temples, which overawed, fcontroled, libelled, and deposed courts and juries at will. For several years, under the paltry name of party and faction, these prints and editors have endeavored to destroy the free and honest cash newspapers, by getting up thing their owa way. But the tide has row turned. The indictment of these men and prints,brings oa the crisis between the upright administration of justice, and a venal aad cormpt press that screened such a man as Gleniworth, and absolutely hunted down the honest Recorder that attempted to execute justice. Even in the preseat case these prints have already had the atrocity to call upon the fell spirit of party—or politica! party—to interfere between them and a jury ofthe country. Is such insolence to be borne by a free peopie? We will see. On the whole it is mest excruciating—most amu- sing—most comical, tosee Wm. L. Stone, Francis Ha!l, Wm. B. Townsend and James Brooks, put- ting on the cap of the Rosicrucian, and calling upon the dark spirit of faction to save them from the consequences of theirj own folly. We wish them, nevertheless, a safe deliverance—and we have no doubt but that Mr. Whiting will use them all genily and justly. Remember that we were fined $350 for a jest, und threatened with imprisonment. What then shall be done with those who continue their Ji- bels, and multiply their attacks? Lirenaky axp Dirtomatic Ixrecricener.—The day after to-merrow, His Excellency Washington Irving, goes out in the Independence, Minister to Spain. He takes with him the hearty and best wishes of the whole nation for his health, happiness aud general welfare; and on his return, some years hence, bearing with him the fruits of his literary labors there, he will be as enthusiastically received as sn his return from Europe. We anticipate much from this second visit of Mr. Irving to Spain; as he assures us that he has written more in that country than he did in England or America, arising probably from the climate; and ‘we may add thathe has written too little in either. It was in Madrid that he wrote the Life of Colum- bus, the Alhambra, and several other works which he still bas by him. Mz. Cogswell doesnot go with Mr. Irving as Se- cretary of Legation; he declines the appointment; this we partly regret and partly rejoice at. Much might have been expected from so good a scholar and so ready e writer as Mr. Cogswell. But, his time here will be well employed. His friend, John Jacob Astor, has promised that, on condition of his declining the mission to Spain, he is to commence the final preparations for erecting the great Astor Library, about which so much hasbeen said. Mr. Astor has given the ground either in Lafayette or Astor place, on which the building is to be erected; and a bequest of $300,000. Mr. Cogswell is to be thee librarian. Many of the books have been pur- chased; and Mr. Cogawell is now, and has been for some time, very laboriously and actively engaged ia making out a learned and volumiaous catalogue for the Astor Library; which,from present appearances, bids fair in a few years to be the most extensive and valuable library in this couatry. The location, how- ever, is too far up towa. Tar Arrointmenr oy Powrtt.—A_ prodigious hubbub has been raised in this city, about the ap- pointment ef Powell by the President and the Senate, for the respectable place of United States Consul at Rio Janeiro. There is some reason in this noise. If the Presi- dent or Mr. Webster had read and remembered the account we gave of the arrest of Col. Monroe Ed- wards, and the means of its accomplishment, they would not have been so deceived as to nominate this remarkable personage to such a place. How is it possible, that Senator Choate could so far forget himself es to recommend him? There is a mystery about this business that time alone can explain. Monroe Edwards has declared that he intends ye; to present the ears of the new-made Consul to the American Museum, for the kindness he exercised towards him in procuring his arrest. In this business, it is impossible to censure the President. If he had known the man, he would have sooner cut off his right arm than wri Mr. Secretary Webster and Senator C have to explain. Dippuine tHe Watt Srarer Pri The ship- ping merchants need not take any of the large Wall Street prints to get the ship news. Some of the news collectors for the large prints down town, hand over the ship news every other night to a son ora cousin, with a wiok ora nod—and the son or cousin furnieh it to the recently established penny papers, andthus the family get twice paid for the sime thing, while the Wall street pspers imagine they have itexcessively. Good. It is quite funny to see David Hale and the “regular Colonel” so did- died out of their money. Twenty dollars extra per week is worth something, Fox is tae Tory Wan s of the Third ‘Ward have up a glorious split on Collector. Where’s Tom Lioydt The disorganisers made their no- minations last evening inthe teeth of the old and tried whigs of the ward. What’s become of Tom Lloyd ? The regular nominating committee report this evening. Where the devil is Tom Lloyd? So we go. Sowe go,Tom Lloyd. The oli party com- prises the most respectable whigs of the ward, ex- clusive of Tom Lloyd. The new party consists of disappointed office seekers, blue noses and all corts of men who want to ruin the party in the ward and make anew purty ont of such discordant elemente Where’s Tom Lloyd ? The regular folks are as true as steel, and in bigh spirits. The new party flutter and intrigue, bat it is no use; honesty and integrity must now be the or- der of the day. Where’s Tom Lloyd?! Bowyer, do answer. Tae Mrrenere Parers.—On Monday next, it is aid, that the Cl aacellor will deliver his ¢ piaion on the injunction, restraining the publication of the Mitchell pepers. These papers were originally placed in the hards of Mr. Joseph A. Scoville, a Migence— The * Lancet”—Pro- aie ine Clinique—The College of Physicians and Surgeons. The revivals in the religious world have not been very startling of late, but the great medical revival goes on with astonishing rapidity, Not louder tumults shook Olympus’ towers, When earth-born giants dared immortal powers,” than now agitate the grave sons of Galen in this goodly’ metropolis of the Western World. Never haseuch zeal been witnessed here in the education of medical studeats—the introduction of novel sur- gical operations—getting up of private lectures— establishment ef orthopedic institutions, surgical cliniques, as has been exhibited during the pa:t winter, The establishment of the Lancet has con- tributed largely to advance,this glorious revolution, inasmuch as it has preeented a faithful record «#f the Progress of the science, and 'efforded an indepen- dent vehicle of communication between,the profes- sion and the public. Indeed, there can be no more intelligible indication of the awakened interest in medical matters, than the extraordinary success with which the Lancet haz met. This journal now circulates all over the Union and the Canadas, and is already the organ of the medical profession in America. Its perfectly independent character, and its containing three times the amount of matter given in any of the other medical periodicals, has secured to it this commanding position, and it pro- mises to be a most efficient agent in bringing about the happy day when we will see the profession « purged to a sound and vigorous health”—the pub- lic better qualified to judge of professional merit— genuine worth occupying .the place now too often agsumed by shallow pretension, and the health of the community no {longer at the mercy of success- ful ignorance. Daring the past fortnight there has been a good deal of stir in the medical world here. Dr. Richard 8. Kissam’s new and improved mode of treating spinal curvatures; of which an account was given in the Lancet, is attracting a good deal of attention. Were it more generally adopted, many a fair form would preserve that symmetry, which improper treatment ruins for, ever. Many . non-professional persons have experienced great relief from follow- ing the treatment recommended in certain trouble some complaints by Dr. A. H. Stevens, in his inte- testing popular lectures, published in the Lancet a few weeks since. Dr. Robert Nelson, late of Mon- treal, now of this city,'performed a very delicate surgical operation the other day, of which a full ac- count is given in last Saturday’s Lancet. The lectures on ‘‘ Diseases of the Heart,” now in course of delivery, by Dr. John A. Swett, at the College of Physicians;and Surgeons, and the first of which was given in the last Lannet, are;deservedly exciting great attention. Dr. Swett lectures in a very plain and practical style, and he is perfectly master of hissubject; his discourses are quite intel- ligible to all classes of readers,fand should be univer- sally read. The Clinique at the College {continues to attrac, crowds of students, and the cases are remarkably interesting. Professor Pattison’s Clinique at the Stuyvesant Institute, is also conducted with {great spirit on his part, and under his excellent and judi- cious management, will no doubt succeed admira- bly. We rejoice in the evidence of a return of good and friendly feeling between Drs. Mett and Pattison, afforded by the re-opening of the Clinique, under the exclusive management of# Professor Patti- son. The public will, we hope, appreciate the libe- rality of Dr. Mott in retiring to the back ground, in order to allow his colleague an opportunity of pre- senting himself to the public in the most favorable position. This is quite like Dr. Mott, and furmshes renewed proof of his amiable generosity. This emi- nent surgeon, can, indeed, well afford to be gene- rous. He hasalready ‘‘won golden opinions from all sorts of men,” and he cannot leave the field toa more worthy man than his estimable brother Pro- fessor. How gratifying it is te find, that such emi- nent men, instead of discovering feelings of jealousy and rivalry, are indeed acting with fraternal kind- mess to each other,tin the full spirit of that eimple melody, which they used to murmur on the laps of their maternal parents:— “ But, children, you should never let Your angry passions rise,— Your little hands were never made To,scratch each others eyes |” We have no doubt whatever, that after thisamicable adjustment of the differences between Dr. Mott and Dr. Pattison, that thej latter will be able to go on with great eclat in the splendid field so nebly re- linguished, for the preservation of brotherly harmo- ny, by the former Professor. Dr. Pattisou operated last Saturday on ajvery bad case_of strabismus, with remarkable dexterity. Our reporter states that he never witnessed this delicate operation] performed with more facility, success, and steadiness of hand. Several very interesting cases*were presented and elicited numerousyvaluable practical remarks from Dr. Pattison, whose experienced judgment and sound acquiremen’sas_a physician,"are equal to his surgical dexterity. Professor Bedford, we may add, conducts an “ex- ternal obstetrical clinique” with great success. This gentleman must be a very important acquisition to any medical school. He is revered and beloved by all the students, whilst the striking originality of his lectures, his profound scientific attainments, and his close attention to study, render him one of the most eminent members of the Faculty,with which, happi- ly for their joint interest, he is united. We do really again entertain great hopes that the Stuyvesant school will make up for lost ground,’ and that the judgment and energy of Drs. Pattison and Bedford being allowed full play, will speedily restore its fo:tunes, and as these gentlemen ate now disposed to treat the Editor of the Lancet with the same polite- ness which he has uniformly received at the hands of the College, we presume he ,will have no objec- tions to give their proceedings publicity from Maine to Florida. Commencement or tae Coriece cy Prysicrans AND BUR -—The annual commencement of this venerable College took place last evening, and was a very brilliant affair. The hall was crowded with a highly respectable audience, a great portion of which consisted of ladies, among whom were seve- ral of the loveliest women in Gotham. We noticed a number of the most distinguished literati and pro- fessional gentlemen of the city. The usual formalities were gone through, and a most respectable class of graduates received their degrees. The President of the College, Dr. Jou Avevustixe Sairn, then delivered a truly admirable address to the graduates, which was eminently ap, propriate, and in many places extremely eloquent It was also of judicious brevity. The worthy Doc. tor paid a deserved compliment to the fair sex, to whose tact, generosity, and good sense he ascribed all the success with which physicians meet in their arduous pilgrimage through this thorny and toilsome world. This commencement altogether went off with great eclat, and has reflected fresh lustre oa this time-honored institution.

Great Meeting of the Whigs at Hall Last Night—to Respond to the Noml- nation for Mayor. A very large meeting assembled at National Hel! last night, to respond to the nomination of the Con vention for Mayor. A great delay occurred on account of the absence of the speakers engaged for the occasion. About 8 o’clock the Committee entered, and the meeting was organized by appointment of the following officers:— J. L, LAWRENCE, Cuasmaan. Vioe-Parsipents. Alderman Woodhull, Jaceb Acker, Edward Prime, Alderman Potter, Bacretanies. Edward Anthon, Mr. Tappan. Q Endicott, Mr. Pinckney, E. Ketchum, Henry W. Mavens. Mr. Peer 8. Titvs being called on said, thatthe Committee had been unanimous in selecting J. Pmitirs Puenx as their Candidate for Mayor. The Cuarrstay repeated this, when there was considerable applause. On this a dark cloth was drawn from the front of a transparency above the Chairman’s head; it represented a view of the whole North river front of the city; aa eagle hold- ing a ribband in his beak, on which was inscribed “Whigs do your duty—be true, we cannot fail.” At the bottom of all was “J. PHILLIPS PHE- NIX.” This elicited immense applause. Some one cried out—“ Three cheers for Phenix.” Three tremen- dous cheers were given. Another criedjout—‘‘Three cheers for Henry Clay.” These were given with ct. Bruyr then said, that in consequence of the illness of Mr. McElrath the task of reading the address devolved on him. He read the address, which cuts up Joha McKeon, the water pipe-laying and the locofoco Corporation, for not having the streets swept by contraét. The address was re- ceived and carried with loud cheers. Mr. N. Brunralso said that ke had been request- ed to read some resolutions. He read them and they were Joudly cheered, particularly one or two rela ting to Lloyd, the defaulting collector; and recom- mendiag all locofoco sub-treasurers to follow his example and ran off immediately, for there was very little left in tre treasury to run away with.! The resolutions were loudly cheered and car- ried. Mr. Blunt was loudly cheered and called for, and rose and made avery good adcaptandum speech.— He gave one side thrust at the President, two or three at Lloyd the defaulter, and a severe scoring to the New York Delegation for violating their pledges, ashe said, on the School Question. He was followed by another, aud the meeting af- ter giving nine tremendous cheers, adjourned,highly delighted with their evening’s" entertainment. Tur Hooan Arram at Rocuester.—By Pome- roy’s last western express, the examination of this Natlo “The Home League Convention at the Tabex- nacle Yesterday. About 250 ‘persons from several fof the northern States assembled in the Tabernacle yesterday, to organise a convention, to assist in carrying out_the principles professed by the Home League. We seldom saw a more honest looking set of faces’; but with the exception of about twenty, they did not seem to be the most intellectual looking set ‘of men that ever assembled together; and as far as phrenolegical developments went, Mapes the che- mist, beat the whole of them, hollow. Mr. Saw, of Massachusetts, was called to the chair, and Mr. L, Cuariy was appointed Secre- tary. It was then moved that the delegates from each State name two men from each State, to form a committee, who should retire end appoint the offi- cers forthe coaventioa. This was done, and the following names called by the chair :— Hampshire—No answer. —Joseph Grinnell, Bazahill Taff. it.— Philip Rij , Wm. Fisher. ac Dosuttie, Fred, Button. J. M. Kinsley, James Miller Harmor Denny, Mr. Maxwell. . J. W. Thomsen, Dr. Robt. Mackay. jand.—No answer. South Carolina.—No answer. Minois.—A. E. Little. Mivhigan.—A. J. White. f Missouri, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Ohio and Indi answer. CHaimmaw.—Have I named all the States ? Voice —Rhode Island. Cuain —Who from Rhode Island? Veice.—A. J. Newell. Axoiner Voice.—Charles Jackson. The.e were approved of. It was then moved that thedelegates chosen pre- seattheir credentials from the districts that sent them | ther. A whole posse then walked up to the chair and handed in letters, scraps of paper, newspapers, pieces of paper, and one man said his appointment was in a newspaper and he had lost it. Mr. H. P. Havens wished'every delegate to give in his trade or occupation, with his name and resi- dence, so that the general committee might here- after act understandingly, and be thus assisted in their classification ef names for the several commit- tees on different branches of arts and manufactures, trade, &c. This sensible proposition was objected to. Some eaidif they did this, it would appear that the agri- culturists were not fully represented ; and others sald that there were lawyers there,as usual,and as every where else, representing all interests. There was a great deal of foolieh discussion about this, which was settled by Mr. Mapes proposing that the delegates should hand in their respective occupations by noon to-morrow. Alabama, jiana.—No rascal was still goingon. Why don’tthey kick him over again to Canada. Cowxecticut Exection.—The returns last evening look rather blue for the whigs—but we shall know more to-morrow. Ultra whiggism is getting in the sear and yellow leaf. The moderate course will only succeed. ‘Tue Mornmox Movement.—Nearly two hundred more Mormons, very respectable looking saints, arrived at New Orleans recently, on their way to Nauvoo, the head quarters of Joe Smith and the Mormons. The prophet is adding to his religious empire every day—and who can set bounds to it? He is president, priest, and prophet, and whenever he is in a difficulty, he says that he has a direct revelation from Heaven, that settles the point at once. News sy Express.—Early yesterday morning, Harnden & Co. and Adams & Co. gave us Boston papers, and Smith brought us Hartford papers, in advance of the mail. New Frere Exqint.—The new fire engine, which hag just been builtin Philadelphia, for the Southwark ‘Company ofthis city, has been tried and found to work well. A stream was forced through an inch nozzle to the distance of two hundred feet. She is one of the largest class engines, and requires forty- eight men to work her with success. This machine is a splendid piece of workmanship —twice the size of the ordinary New York engines, and has been ¢o built as to require but little strength in pulling her along the streets. She is not a playing engine alone, but has been constructed to act as a suction at the same time. Her chambers are about twice the size of those lately built for fire companies in Philadelphia and New York. Vary Imrontaxtrrom Yucatax.—We have re- ceived, by the way of New Orleans, the following highly important intelligence :— “It appears by our advices fromCampeachy, which are to the 3d ult., that the treaty, which Yucatan agreed to abide by with Mexico, has been refused by the latter government, and Yucatan has therefore bristled up and joined Texas in the war upon Mexi. co, Commodore Moore sailed from Campeachy on the 2d ult., and the Yucataneos were fitting out their vessels with despatch for a cruise against the Mexi- cans.”; This news is important to Texas, and decidedly bad forSanta Anna. With two republics, like Texas and Yucatan, upon him, he will find it a “difficult matter to maintain for a very long period, his foot- hold in the Halls of the Montezumas. Look out for the next news. 4 SS nan a —On the 6th A jay) at the Park, opposite City Hall, at four o’clock P.M, and at 187 Bowery, at 7 P. M , meetings will be heid for the purpose of procuring relief to the sufferers by the late fire, and taking steps to protect the dead in their graves. All trae democrats of both sexes are urgently invited to attend. This notice was handed us for publication, by a respectable, pious, rather oily looking personage, of considerable benevelence in his face, and some grease spots on his black coat. Of course we pub- lish it, and hope the ladies will have large meetings and large subscriptions. This is a new movement entirely in New York. In Boston, the ladies have already started on their own hook, under the apos- leship of Abigail Folsom, and they are making great headway, in piety, learning, religion and nee- dlework. We can beat Boston, and why not? me inst., (this Branam's,Coxcert.—The Messrs. Braham give their second concert to-night, at the Society Libra- | ry. The cara is rich in musical gems, and no doubt it will be well attended. Concert at THe Broapway Tarernactr.—To- morrow evening Wm. H. Oakley’s concert takes place at the Tabernacle—see advertisement. Lapis Eye Grass Lost.—A plain gold rimmed Here one gentleman from Masaachusetts said that he couldn’t hear a word of what was going on. Then another gentleman said that, from his im- perfect hearing, he couldn’t make out much. He knew but little of the proceedings of this Home League, or Home Convention,'or whatever it was. A young’man with a red face, and very long hair, objected to something—he didn’t say what. Professor Fisa2R thought it was very desirable that the general committee should be able to appor- tion the delegates to the sub-committees know- in-ly. Cwarnmax.—Perhaps as we are not yetjorganized, Mr. Havens will withdraw his proposition till we are. Havens—I waive my objections, sir. Here :Mr. Kendrick, was nominated from some pace. Cuammax.—Can you suggest another from Mi- caigan? Vorce.— I cannot. Cuamm.—There’s no name from Indiana. Here the committee retired into the private room left of the rostrum, to nominate officers. During their absence, several decultory statements were made by some half dozen speakera, on all sorts of eubjecte, On their return to the room they named the following as officers for the Convention :— Presspenr. Gen. Jamns Tartmapae. Vice Parswvents, Gen, Robertson Hall, of Vermont. Henry Shaw, of Massachusetts, Stanford Newel, of Rhode Ieland. Mr. Brace, of Connecticut. Mr. Warren, of New York. Mr. Denny of New Jersey. Mr, Dickenson, of Pennsylvania, Mr. McCabe, of Dela’ Mr. A. E. Little, of I Mr. D.A. J. White, of Mic Judge Harvard, of Marylan Gen. Tattmanee then made a very short speech, expressive of his Gatiecstinn at the honor done him. The Home League when they convened in Oct. last repudiated all political bias—they would never descend to political objects, and they would uniformly ae all base, political and party panies The country was in an awful state—la- or depressed, commerce diminishing, and every thing paralysed—the treasury empty, and the cur- rency extinct; and we are visited with every afflic- tion under heaven, except subjection to a foreign power. It was time to stop party strife, and to ae something for home industry. Therefore the Home League would f° on—nail the flag of the country to its mast, with this n otte:—‘* Protection for the laber of your country, and reciprocity in commerce, or no commerce atall!! (Cheers.) And mark with disapprobation that man who deserted the Home League, to run mad after a fiscal agest, or him who was crazy fer a bank; or he who was lunatic about asub-treasury! We rust put on sufficiently heavy duties to protect all interests,—then we shall have a revenue indeed; and a restoratien of a government of laws instead of one of licen- tiousness. Then our land will not be spotted with such unworthy legislators as now. The quarrels about a bank, ic. were es foolish as the boy who quarrelled with his playfellow about the color of the box he should keep his fruit in. Men are quarrelling whether they shall have a bank, or a sub-treasury, or a fiscal ageat, or an exchequer to keep the funds in, and all the time they have no funds to put into any thing. (Laughterandcheers ) We must first go to work and get some funds to put some where(cheers); and a system to produce such results we have aright to demand of the National Councils, and to obtain it is the object of the Home League. Mr. Tail- madge conciuded by stating that we must lay im- posts on foreign goods sufficient for all the purposes of revenue, and for the protection of Home Indus- try, and this would diffuse life and health to all parts of the country. He also referred to the low price of labor in Europe, and to one-third of our foreiga trade being carried on in foreign bottums; while our registered tonnage in foreign trade had not increased since 1815, ; Oa motion, the convention was then opened with avery elcquent prayer by the Rev. Mr. Choules. Oa motion of Professor Fisher, a committee of ten wasthen appointed to arrange the business, and bring it in order before the Convention. On mo- tion of Mr. Mapes, the central committee of the Home League was added to this committee, with powers for the whole to select and name the gentle- men to serve on committees of the respective jeye glass, of an heptagonal shape, was dropped somewhere on Sunday or Monday. If the finder thereof, will leave it at this office, he will confer a favor On its owner.

A committee, consisting of Mr. Shaw, Mr. Clark Mr. Drinker, and Mr. Schenck, was then appointed to draft rules for the regulation of the Convention. During the morning, Mr. Joseph Blunt made a speech about pretty much everything. A gentleman from New Bedford made a speech about the whale fishery, and the connection between it and the Home League. Mr. Mares said that it was perfectiy idle to be getting up and glorifying themselves ail day long; they wanted facts, not general and desultory re- marks. (This was a cut at Mr. Blunt.) The gen- tleman from New Bedford has not told us what the duty is on whale oil, or what duty would be ne- cessary for its protection. @&Statistics were very necessary. If we confine ourselves to mere mat- ters of opinion, we shall consume our whole time in talking, and do no better than Congress has been doing. He wished each gentleman would wind up his speech with a set of statistics, and give facts and figures. Reports come in but slowly to the Home League, and they were not yet prepared to address Ci in so laconica shape as figures would enable them to do. The New Bedford man replied that whale oi! wanted no protection. It would protect itself. But that if nothing was done (o relieve the country,pe ple would by and 0 poor (nat ihey woulda pe wine 25 a ereigepers the oil at all; and they would not allow them to sell it in a foreiga inarket ; and what was to become of the 60v chips and 16,000 seamen. ¥ eral gentlemen said,what a horrid thing it war to allow foreigners to fleod us with goods until al) our stores were ready to break down with them. Another gentleman gaid he came from Niegara, and that was the gardenol New York. He thought it was a frightful state of things to think that flour was selling at $3,50 a barrel, and hams at 14 cent perlb. The primary object of a tariff should be protection—permanent aad unchangeable ; and the revenue be incidental. He was opposed to discrim- inating duties for incidental protection. ‘ An old gentleman gaid he was born a whig in the true sense (sensation)—had always been a whig (confusion) — was a whig now (considerable com- motion)—he wasa party man and ——— _ Mr. Drinker objected to politics in the Conven- tion. Otp Gentremax —I’il drop it, But Ido cay that 1 won’t vote for any man who will not support our principles and protect us — (great confusion,in the ee of which the rest of his speech was not eard.) The Convention adjourned at 3 o'clock to meet on Wednesday at 9 o’clock, A. M. City Intelligence, Tux Mertine of Democrats at Tammany Hall, to con- firm the nomination of Mayor, by the eommittee select- ed for that purpose, was attended by about 3000 people. Joun J. Moncan, the recent Collector of this port, wes appointed President, and come dozen persons named os Vice-Presidents, and half a dozen Secretaries. The meeting waz then addressed by David D.

From the known respectability of that Society I am induced to give publicity to the Teter. :. B. BRANDRETH, M. D. Unite Society, Harvard, Mass., April 6, 1841. aa rag te pun later of Manch: sein; -secjueting Wt reply to er of Dector Brandreth’s lite, (which Opinion you ere pleased to say Sper from this source you expect to proceed from “discrimination rather than hasty con- clusions,”) we answer, Jt is true that for a year past we have made very successful use of this medicine. One thing, very important to be known, is that the medicine is perfectly have never known the least injury to be done in a single instance—and a more mild or agreeable compound cannot reasonably be expected in a medicine. The primary consideration, however, is the test of its eflicacy in removing gross humors and parifying the Blood, thereby reviving the system, andon these points lam constrained to say, that certain well known and un- deniable facts decide ig favor of the Pills. In several casesef chronic disease, they have sueccss- fully encountered the most obstinate humors, and disea- ses apparently the most inveterate, have yielded to this medicine by continued perseverance in its use. I will mention one case in particular,of a woman rising fity yeors ofage,who hed long suffered frem aes: or $1. Anthony’s Fire, and other humors. This person was most violently attacked in the back part ef the head; ulceration had commenced, and as her ee of diseases had been aa standing,the most fearful con- soqnences were expected, ‘his person described the sensation as intolerabl; painful, of that peculiar, twinging, darting pain, whic is usually thought to denote the certain attack of cancer. Several boxes of Dr. Brandreth’s Pills were taken with the mosi wonderful success. The result is now considered a Perrect Cue. In short, several persons in our society,who have been relieved, or cured, by the use of Doctor Brandreth’s Pills, have assured me of their full belief, that under Provi- dence, they now owe their lives to the use of this medi- cine—indced, such has been the relief afforded by ite use inc ef Liver Complaints, Deafness (o¢casioned by sores in the head), Screfula, Hrysipelas, Cholic, Fevers, Dyspepsia, Headache, Jaundice, &e., &c.,that Tam not only decided in favor of the Srandreth’s Pills, but do give the opinion, as the result of experience, that the Bran- drethion Theory of “Cleansing the Blood by purifying Medicine” is the ssfest. and in general the most ettica- cious mode of treating diseases. . Asa Family Medicine, these pills have given as far a¢ my knowledge extends, perfect ond universal satistac- tion. Respectfully, your friend eee ES'D. GROSVENOR. Josern B. Brockway, Boston. Paixcirat.
