According to present appearances, the next elec- tion will be one of the most important that has been held in this State for many years. The whigs have nominated Mr.Clay for the presidential contest which This being the case, the coming fight may be considered as a preli- minary ion, on which depends the fortunes of Mr. Clay hereafter, and the success or defeat of all the unportant measures connected with him. Th a struggle no one can correctly prediet. The whigs claim to be able to carry the State by 10,000 majority. But this is little else but a boast, for the other side claimthat they will carry it by an equally large majority. The variety of views and interests, bound up with this result, will render the coming election an exceed- ngly interesting one. It is very evident from the manner in which the whigs are commencing the contest, and putting forth the claims of Mr. Clay, that they intend to make a desperate fight of it, and to put forth their whole strength on it. For if they vre defeated in this State, the whigs will consider all chance of success with Mr. Clay gone for ever, and will probably turn round on some more available can- didate—( ‘cott, or some one else. inseveral of the other States, though resulting unfavorably to the whigs, they do not seem to place much stress upon; because by common consent, it appears that the deductions from these are to be laid aside, and the hopes of both parties to be made to depend upon the conduct of the great State of New York.

Hemay then probably be elected, and with him earry all his great measures—National Bank, High Tariff, As- sumption of the State Debts, Distribution of the Public \uand Monies, and all those schemes for which his adherents in different parts of the country have been so loudly clamoring, and all the plans of the specula- | financiers of Wall street and elsewhere. en, Whatare the prospects before the two ‘The whigs have planted themselves upon form of internal improvements, and an in- erease of the State debt. Butas matters stand now, lis may act as a sort of two-edged sword, and cut both ways. There may be some persons in the southern and western counties, who are out of em- ployment, or who want a transit and market for their produce, or the price of their farms increased, or their speculations in lots to succeed. But on the er hand, in this part of the country,all the capital- re opposed to the whig policy; they do not wish » State stocks quiver and shake again as they done, and they will back out from their politi- principles, and go for the locofocos; and, there- t isprobable that these contradictory elements »e able to neutralize each other. ery has been got up by the whigs about But as we have now got a tariff, and the janufacturers generally seem very well satisfied with its details, it is not probable that they will themselves, or spend much money in order lefeat what may be, after all, a mere chimera of he whig leaders. Then, again, the separation of the whigs from Mr. Tyler’s administration, will do them no good; but the extent of that movement, for good or evil, we cannot now stop to calculate. From all present appearances, and from all we can gather in the various quarters of the political av A gi e tariff ible horizon, the result seems exceedingly doubtful. It seems to be a sort of new experiment, the working of which no one can safely calculate upon. The candidates are all good and highly unexceptionable men; so that no vantage can be gained on the score of personal popularity. The true issue of the fight seems to be, “Shall Mr. Clay be the next President?” If Bradish is elected, Mr. Clay will go into the Pre- sidential chair; if not, he is gone for ever. It is possible that the whigs may carry the State y a smal! majority, but it is one of the most doubt- we ever saw. They will fight hard, and -very nerve; for if defeated now, not only is y gone, but all their chances at the next Pre- ial election will be sent “‘ spinning adown the stream of time.” All the friends of Gen. Scott, of course, will vote against the whigs, because they want to see Mr. Clay dished and done up. All Mr. Tyler's friends will vote against them. All the capi- talists will vote against them, for the reasons we have already assigned. And, in short, there will be a combination of all the elements that can possibly be brought to bear against them. ‘To oppose this, there will also be a combination of all the elements that can be brought to bear in of Mr. Clay, and they are many and powerful. re told that they are going to send funds on ere from all parts of the country, to carry this elec- ause this isthe citadel. If this is taken, y will be sacked, and the troops put to the rout. This is all very well. We can do nothing without money. Kentucky has two and a half mil- lions of specie in her banks. Tennessee, Indiana, and Illinois have some also, say three millions, in their banks. They must all contribute. Let the banks of these States send on about $1,000,000 in specie, consigned to certain persons in this city, and we'll see what can be done for the cause. Every thing is at stake here; and therefore, if they can’t get money in any other way, they must pick locks, break into vaults, and do anything—but get money, so that we may carry the election. It must have specie, too—the hard currency. Bank paper won't do atall here. Those Clay men out west who have produce, may send some of that. They may send on each twenty or thirty barrels of flour, or a few hogsheads of tobacco, or any thing they have got; for we'll take anything. But they must send some- thing, or the State will be lost. ‘Thus, therefore, stands the contest. The ultimate fate of the “Great Western,” of noble “ Harry Clay,” is to be determined this fall, in New York. The result is in doubt. Every effort will be called out, on both sides, and the victory will be achieved to them who will work the hardest—seatter the most newspapers— and spend the most time and greatest amount of hard money, ful contes strain Mr. € Gg None of the newspapers are satisfied with the apologies yet published by those who attended the Ashburton dinner. me Maine Eveorton (begins to-day States’ Senator depends upon this. A United ‘Tur Executive Orcan in New-Yorx.—In com- menting on the late Ashbarton dinner, I find that Mr. Francis P. Blair, the handsome and comely man, who conducts the “ Washington Globe,” un- lertakes to say, “Bennett, who sets up for the Execu- tive organ in New York,” S&c. Now to this “ soft im- peachment” we interpose our flat denial. We make no pretensions to be “ Executive organ”—‘ court journal”—or the official of Captain Tyler. It is true, it has served the purpose of a variety of news- papers and many politicians, to attribute to this journal such a relation to the President of the Uni- d States, with a variety of other allegations of this relationship, all equally erroneous and unfounded. On John Tyler's accession to the Presidency, by the death of Gen. Harrison, we soon perceived that aclique of violent ultras had determined to oppose and disgrace, if possible, the Presidential office, be- cause the incumbent would not give them places or pap. Such we know to have been the cause of Webb’s opposition—such of Charles King’s—such of Col. Stone’s, and recently, of James Brooks, of the Express. Out of respect for the Chief Magistrate, and concurrence of opinion with his measures, we have generally approved John Tyler’s policy ; but | we disclaim entirely having any other relations to his administration than that of a free spoken, inde- | pendent editor, willing and able to speak “ the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,” | on all occasions. | But while we approve of the general policy of John Tyler, we have disapproved of the conduct of many of his office-holders, and particularly the last act of theirs in this city, in purchasing such a lump of old absurdity as M. M. Noah, and in making such a miserable weathercock the organ in New-York. I never would or could consent to pull in the traces with such a rotten fellow as Noah—a man who has no principles, nor much talent—and who, besides, has been the cowardly instigator of all the attacks on my character for the last six years in New York. If Captain John Tyler takes him into communion, and gives him an office, of any kind, he is weleome to him ; but he will find out his mistake before long. Hereafter, we trust that all newspapers, editors, politicians, and other knaves, will do us justice, and not defame our character by saying that we can play in the same band of music with Noah. We are free and independent, and have some character.— We believe that John Tyler has many more merits, and a higher order of talent than his bitter foes will admit ; but we also believe that many of his office holders are some of the greatest rascals fed by any administration, and we advise him to look out for defaulters by-and-bye. Our ambition is to publish a high-toned, energetic newspaper, with the most cor- rect intelligence of all kinds. We are the organ of the present age, but not bound to any President, any politician, any man, any party, any sect, or any clique. More Arorocres—Mkr. James Lex on THE Stanp. —We understand that Mr. James Lee, one of the Committee of Arrangements at the Ashburton din- ner, has been explaining round town the reason of the late indignity to the President; and the way it issaid to have occurred, is a caution to all the rules of etiquette. It appears that the question was calmly discussed in the committee, with much philosophy and good diction, under the presiding care of James G. King, as to whether the President should be cheered or not, and how they could contrive gracefully to give him the go-by. Atlast, after a good deal of delib- eration, it was decided that no cheers should be given, either to the toast of the President or the Queen, but that they should crowd on all sail, and give cheers, the whole nine cheers, for Lord Ash- burton, as representative of the Queen of England at that dinner. This plan would have been carried out, had it not been for some blundering blockheads of Englishmen, who did not know any thing of the secret deliberations and private arrangements, but who only knew what was customary, and what was etiquette on such occasions, and they proposed to cheer the Queen, which the committee then seem- ed to agree in. The most remarkable feature in this explanation, or apology, is the deliberation with which those so- lemn simpletons, the committee, set themselves to work in order to find some excuse for committing a most gross breach of goo] manners, and a most ungentlemanly act, for the purpose of gratifying a pri- vate feeling against the President. Here were a set ofmen, claiming to know all about the nicest points of etiquette and gentility, and to carry them out in their daily doing, assembling together, and enacting a melancholy farce, by making rules to violate all etiquette, good manners, and common decency ;— and this too, prompted by the most paltry feelings imaginable. This is the most miserable apology that has been given yet, and the most ludicrous. It is even worse than that given by Mr. Gales, who says that the Queen was toasted because she wore petticoats.— However, let it go for what it is worth, and float down the stream of time with other dead fishes Who is the next to give an apology? We shall have as many apologies before we have done, as there were members of the blundering Committee. Dinner to Mr. Wenster.—There are a few gentlemen in Boston who yet possess propriety and decency. If Mr. Webster was allowed to pass through New York without a nod of recognition, Boston is Boston still. We find the following correspond- ence ina Boston paper:— Serr. 8, 1842, To tHe Hon. Danier Wenster:— Sin,—The undersigned, desirous of evincing their titude for your eminent and patriotic public service: ing a long term of years, and especially for the part su tained by you in the late negotiations which have 80 skilfully conducted and happily terminated in a treaty with Great Britain, invite you to meet them ata public anner, at such time as shall be convenient to yourself and others. Boston, Sept. 9, 1342. Gextiemen,—I have received your letter of the st inst., inviting me to a public dinner, and am duly sensible ofthe value of this proof of your regard. It will give me great pleasure to meet all my fellow- citizens, who may desire to see me: and the mode of such meeting I should leave to them, with a preference, how- ever,on my part, if equally agreeably to others, that the dinner should be dispensed with, and that the meeting should be had in sucha manner as shall impose the least restrictions, and best suit the convenience of all who may be disposed to attend it. Tam, gentlemen, with very sincere regard, Your obliged fellow citizen and obd’t servant, DANIEL WEBSTER. To Messrs. H. G. Ors, J. Masox, Wiuttam Stunats, Jo- sian Baapurn, Cuances G. Loninc, Cuanies P. Cun- m1 Wits Arecetox, Awsott Lawnrencr, and others. Let us see now whether the gentlemen of Boston know how to treat the representative of the Re- public Tnearricat.—The Park is really doing a good business since it reduced its prices. The only draw- back was in throwing away three nights on Field’s “Such As It Is,” a mass of the greatest trash that ever was penned. Since that was wound up, the Park has resumed the old sterling plays, and has had capital houses. The Chatham is going ahead as usual. Nothing can tame the energies, or mould the novelties of Thorne. The Bowery has turned into a pistareen theatre to prolong its existence—but pistareens are scarce currency in these days. The next step of the big Bowery bubble will be to bring down the prices to a yicayune—a picayune playhouse—and then shut up. The Olympic enters upon one of the most doubt- ful seasons iteverhad. Its history will be comical. Og This will be a regular holi jay at the Ameri- can Museum. ‘This building, with its hundred win- dows, extensive Balcony, and fine Garden, will af- ford a fine opportunity for visitors to view the proces- sions, all of which will pass here. Barnum will have his flags and streamers flying, and his military band of music in full blast. Ten Balloons will ascend from the Garden in the course of the day, and two splendid performances will be given by the inimita- ble Yankee Winchell, Harrington the Ventriloquist and Magician, iirs. Hood, the popular Vocalist, Ce- leste, the Gipsey Girl, &e., which, with 500,000 curi- osities, present a rare treat for twenty-five cents. Tue Procession to-pay.—We feel almost cer- tain, and yet we deeply regret the conviction, that the procession will end in something resembling a farce. The design was conceived in bad taste, and we fear cannot be carried out without ridicule. | Those who started it, no doubt, meant well, but too many hack politicians have since thrust them- selves into it, asa stepping stone to get office, and of course they willtake all the credit, if there be any, from the original movers. The independent men of all parties, who had a proper feeling with re- gard to the indignity offered to the President, can never be brought to unite in a movement that is far cical or selfish. The press of all parties. through- out the country,{has reverberated the feelings of the nation on this subject, and that will be a sufficient rebuke. That is a moral retribution far more sub- lime than can possibly be met with in a procession of white horses and 26 carriages, each full of ladies, and alittle boy with a banner. We hope, for the sake of all things connected with the event, that it may go off well, but we confess it does seem to border onthe ridiculous at present. We shall see. Busivess—Secars.—Among the numerous adver- tisers in this day’s paper, we refer to Henriques, 51 William street, who has just opened a segar store in that honest, cheap, money-making, money-saving, decent street. Henriques was formerly a broker in Wall street, and has operated for years to the amount of millions in that avenue of Satan. Like many other sensible men he has had a real revival— has abandoned the devil and fancy stocks, and has now opened a store on cash principles—witii good artieles—and is determined to make money in the good old fashioned way, as taught by Moses and the Prophets. This is one of the best symptoms of the returning sanity of the age in matters of business,that we have seen. Wallstreet, thank Heaven, will soon be de- serted. By-and-bye, the devil will be left there, with the Ashburton committee alene. Our at Last.—Col. Webb walked down Wall street on Saturday last, and appeared to be getting better fast. The day was beautiful—but the sight was melancholy. Alas! poor Webb! how much more comfortable and respectable you would have been this day, if you had followed the sound advice and good lessons I gave you in 1829, °30, ’31, and’32! Apvice.—Mrs. Ann 8. Stephens, presiding divinity of the Sunday Morning News, will have to keep her boys in order. She promised to us in person, in our office, that she would make them behave de- cently, and she must keep her promise, otherwise we shall have to apply the birch to their bottoms, and no mistake. Manirotp Lerrer Werrer.—In the following from the Tribune we fully concur:— Important Invention—Gaeatiy Imrrovep ManiroLp Writer.—We respectfully invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Mr. Lewis Francis of No. 83 William street, corner of Maiden Lane, in this r in relation to his highly improved Manifold Writer, which has given such universal satisfaction to all who have used it. The utility and extraordi value of this im provement may be inferred from ct that the Ameri- can Institute, after a full and eoraees investigation into its capacities ‘and merits, promptly awarded Mr. Francis a medal for his highly improved Manifold Writer. Having for a long time used this writer of Mr. Francis ourselves, wecan With confidence speak of it as one of the greatest improvements of the age. We have repeatedly made five and even mxcopies of yacioesiptonetings’ all pueda sod legible, by means of this writer, within the same time re- quired in making one ; and the impression of each was as rable as if written with the best ink upon ordinary aper ; thus saving much time and labor, and consequent- ly expe'se in copying. All members of the bar, mer- chants, editors, reporters, clerks in public offices, of courts or stores, collectors of ship or other news, ban! insur- ance offices, post masters, &c., &c., should not fail to t possessed of this inestimable improvement for the faci tion and despatch of business, as it enables them to mu! ply copies of letters, notices, documents or any other pa: ers, to any extent they please ; and the coloring matter imparted to each sheet is so indelible that time does not diminish its brightness. It is the ne plus ultra of despatch and correctness in writing, as six copies are made os quickly as one, and all equally correct. To all men of business, this writer is of incalculable value. We would not be without it for $580 a year ; and to many it will ren- der a saving of even more than that. Its cheapness commends it to the attention ofall, as the cost is not more than writing on ordinary paper. We ad- vise all to try it as long as we have, and we are eonfident they would never after be without it, were it four times the price it is. Economy 1x Firovr.—Buy a barrel of flour—it costs $5 to $6—bake your own bread—and you willsave half the expense of bread, and have the article far more healthy and nutritious. Bakers’ bread is most exorbitent in price, just what it was in 1836, when flour was $12 per barrel. New Harts.—About one dozen differently shaped new fashionabie hats have just come out this season, Among sucha multitude, who can tell which is the neatest and best? Which isthe hat ? City Intelligence, Ptcxrockers Cavcut.—On erin evening, officers W. H. Stephens and McGrath observe two celebrated pak pecKele on board the Jersey City ferry boat, dodging about among the passen- gers from Philadelphia, and finally arrested them in the act of picking a gentleman’s pocket, and brought them to the watchhouse, where they gave the names of Joseph Anthwaite and Wm. Parme- ton. On the person of Parmeton was found a gold detached iever watch, thirteen hole jewel, with a gold curb and small fob chain and key, which are supposed to have been stolen. Those who have lost articles of this description, will do well to call on the above officers. Tne Aums Hovsr Rowp1es.—Jem Dunn, one oi the trio who created the row at the Alms House, as mentioned in yesterday’s Herald, was held on two additional warrants for assault and battery, a: he should manage to escape on these, there is si:!! a warrant from King’s county in the hands of one ot our offrcers, on which he will be arrested. . Bill Nelson, alias Country, the cove who floar- ished the dirk, was recognised oy officer W. H Stephens, as the person who robbed the store of Sheldon, Phelps & Co., 27 South William street, of $180 worth of bowie knives and other fine cut ley. on the 27th of Aug. last. ‘The goeds were defivered by Country to one of his female acquain- tances named Eliza Foster, for safe keeping, from whom they were recovered by Stephens and Sparks, who arrested and brought her to the Tombs. Horst Roseery.—-Yesterday afternoon officer Sweet arrested a fellow named Freedom G. New- ton, on the charge of being concerned in robbing the bearding-house of Benjamin Graffain, at Boston, of money, silver plate, &c., to a large amount.— hen he was arrested, he had on his back a coat belonging to Ebenezer 8. Cooper, a_boarder at the Exchange Hotel,Courtlandt street, wifich was stolen from his room Lg iliheaceg last. Cooper said the coat was given him by a Mrs. Lawson, who accom- panied him from Boston, and who was arrested by Colvin and Sweet on Saturday, and sent back to that city on the charge of being engaged in robbing several boarding-houses. Since then, it has been ascertained she robbed three boarding-houses in this city during her brief sojourn. A portion of the pro- perty stolen from Mr. Graffain, was found by Sweet in Newton’s trunk. He was accordingly locked up - the Tombs to answer the several charges against im. Boarpina-Hovuse Txter.—-A loafer named Bob Hughes, entered the boarding-house of Timothy Sullivan, 430 Water srreet, on Saturday night, and helped himself to a pair of pants, a pet of boots, and various other articles of old clothes belonging to several of the boarders. Bob was caught as he was leaving the premises, and conveyed to the watch- house, and yesterday was committed to the Tombs, to await the disposition of Judge Lynch to-morrow morning. Dock Rats.—One of this genus named Bill Simp- son, Was caught by Martin Salisbury, on Saturday night, in the cabin of the sloop Levant, Captain As- trander, ans at the foot of North Moore-street, having effected an entrance by forcing open the ca- bin door. This being considered a suspicious and unlawful act by Mr. Salisbury, he lugged Simpson to the watchhouse, and yesterday morning he was sent to the Tombs, although he said he was drunk, and did not enter the cabin with felonious intent. Wartcnnovse ee the rowdies, blackguards, drunkards, &c., brought to the wateh- house on Saturday night, were Catherine Williams and Mary Webster, the former bronght in by officer Cockefair, and the latter by some citizens, charge with stealing money, but from whom or where, did not appear, a8 no one appeared against either of them daring ean They were, however, locked up for further examination. A Horervt. Convert.—Bi!] Neale was yesterday found drank in the street, by a Washingtoni: who took him to No. 62 Roosevelt-street, to a the pledge and get his dinner, as a bounty for the act. When Bill arrived at the house, he was usher- ed into a room, while his friend went into the next to get a pledge for his signature. Bill, however, did not await his return, but helped himself to a coar and decamped. le was pursued, however, captured, and locked up in the Fombs by order of Justice Merritt, we {Correspondence of the Herald.) Weenawken, Sept. 8, 1842, Pic Nic Party—Conover Boat Club. Dear BENnetr :— a A recherché and delightful Pie Nie came off on Wednesday last, on the grounds of J. G. King, Esq. at this place. The spot selected was the most ro- mantic in all this fairy region, commanding a view of your city, of the harbor, the bay, islands and neighboring villages, and at the same time fully sheltered by the luxuriant foliage, and abundantly supplied by a bountiful Providence with grotesque divans and sofas, of solid rock, and a carpet of the green sward, forming a tout ensemble at once mag- nificent and unsurpassed. Atabout ten o’clock the party be; to assemble, and continued to arrive, in small and interestin; groups, until after eleven, at which time there ha congregated some eit of “fair women and brave men.” The day was lovely, and Nature cast her sunny smiles around, imparting pleasure to the eye and gladness to the heart. For more than two hours, the woods that crown the summit of “the Devyil’s Pulpit,”and the rockspiled around in wild confusion, re-echoed the sweet toned voices of Nature’s fairest. While some, with their attendant beaux, strolled through the woody vistas in pursuit of Flora’s beau- ty, wherewith to decorate and be decorated; others were seen seated in some shady nook, engrossed. in the wild and thrilling tales of Schiller, or conni o’er the mysterious pages of Zanoni; and here an there a recreant gallant, gracefully arrayed in flow- ing blouse and Panama, might be seen perched on some projecting: <li, cigar in mouth, away with lordly indifference. At times the ear was startled and the soul entranced by the soft notes of the Italian, flowing from rich and cultivated voices; and anon broke in the swelling bass of the “‘ Hunts- man’s Chorus,” or the *‘ Boatman’s Song.” At two o’clock, a kettle was beaten, a la gong, by the indefatigable Dr. C—e, of H—, a primitive summons to dinner, which agickly gathered from all directions the seattered sous. he dining hall was Nature’s own—the table her verdant green—and the sumptuous viands thereon arrayed, combined her choicest products with every delicacy that the most fastidious could desire—the dinner—the des- sert—the punch—the champagne—the hock and the old liquors, there set forth in fair array, would have tempted the palate of Epicurus himeelf ; and it was the opinion of those au fait in those matters, that they were not to be surpassed. The afternoon was buta repetition of the morning’s pleasures, with now and then a new arrival. As the declining sun gave timely warning to depart, the board again teemed with ‘an evening repast, which was enlivened by the presence of the gentlemanly members of the “Conover” Boat Club, whose colors were graceful- ly arranged at either end of the table. The party now broke up, highly gratified by the pleasures of the day. Some were seen to return in boats, many in vehicles, whilst others, preferring an evening stroll with an attentive lover, wended their way on foot. Among so many fair ones, it were invidious to say who were the Taireet. Suffice it, that the Misses C. and their cousin, Miss S., of Chelsea, graced the occasion—that the lovely Miss B.. of Philadelphia, was the bright star of a circle of admi- rers, and that the romantic Miss A. R., of H., added increased attraction to the party Miss sS—r, (sister-in-law to your distinguished tragedian,) with her sweet voice and quiet grace, left an impression long to be remembered— isa M—r, of M., Miss W, the Misses F. and the Misses C——l, must not pass unnoticed. Of the ponteetes the most promi- nent were F—r,of H., a fine old German gentleman. The indefatigable Dr.C——k, of H.,who was the life of the party; and Mr. B——r, a fine specimen of the Southren ; the legal pees was Fenaieated by E. L. Esq.—C. Von E—l, Esq., and Messrs. J—s and M——s, the Orestes and Pylades of the Law Buildings, who distinguished themselves by atten- tion to the ladies in general, and themselves in par- ticular. There were, also, Mr of Hoboken, Mr. M., Mr. P., Mr. B., Mr. W., and several cis- tinguished foreigners. It was, decidedly, the pic nic of the season—admirable in design, happy in execution, and delightful in retrospect. Jersey ARIEL. Tue Royat Mepats ror THe Packet Captains.

Monday evening is set apart for the entertainment, when he promises not only an interesting musical melange, but also some exciting experiments in animal magnetism, clairvoyance, te. He possesses a very intelligent and experienced subject, and one who under his opera- tion, will ratnove the doubts of the most skeptical in the “‘sciedce.” Those who remember the recent humbug practiced on the veteran Ritchie, ot the Richmond Enquirer, and know that the operator in that case was only a pupil under Dixon, will not fail to be in attendance, to witness the promised experi- ments of Dixon and his little girl.

The Genuine Extract of Sarsaparilia, Pre} ath THE COLLEGE OF MEDICI E AND PHARMACY Or tHe Crry or New York. THERE IS NO ARTICLE IN THE MATERIA Medica, of which so many beta and inert prepara- tions, have been offered, as rilla. Indeed, many members of the medical profession pods length of de- nying in toto, the efficacy of this invaluable drug, and they have been led to this disbelief of its virtues, by the wretehed mixtures which have been and are at present palmed on the public, as genuine extracts of the article. The College desire no stronger and more intelligible proof of the worthlessness of these mixtures, than that evidence which is atforded by the very advertisements of their manufacturers. The juent extravagant puffs which are thrust before the public, bear on their front the impress of the most impudent quac! . Powers are as- cribed to Sarsaparilla which it does not really possess, and certificates of alleged cures, represented to have been ef- fected by its use, are at length, whilst every edusated | physician, knows that no such results could by any bility have followed from the use even of the moat carefully prepared extracts of Sarsaparilla, It is under these circumstances, and in accordance with their extended plan of suppressing all descriptions of me- dical imposture, that the “College of Medicine and Phar- macy” offer to the notice of the public, Tre Gexvine Extract or SARSAPARILLA. This article has been pre} at great expense, accord. ing to the new process of the Parisian pharmaceutists, and isconfidently denominated the only really valuable prepa- ration of Sarsaparillanow offered for sale in this country. Together with the active principle of the Smilax offici- valis—the best species of the root—the College have incor- rated that aliar modification of sugar, which has bomn tecaiedg hizin. Inthe “Extracts” of the nos- trum-venders and certain druggists, the common extract of lig rice is the chief ingredient, and can readily be de- tected. But it is proper to state that in most cases this extract of liquorice is adulterated, and contains copper de- rived froma, the, asia which the decoction of the root is evaporated, The College wish tl ular to guard the public against the pernicious tendency of % ures, containing large quantities of this poisoned liquorice. The “Extract,” prepered by the College, contains also an ap- propriate quantity of the peculiar crystallizable principle, obtained from that valuable rege bitter, Gentian, (so called from Gentius, King of Illyria, who first discovered its great virtues.)

M, It is stated, that the Arkansas commissioners are on their way to pay the interest on the delinquent bonds of that State. Much want of confidence continues to prevail in re- gard tothe action oi the Alabama Legislature, with re- spectto the currency and banking system of that State. It isnot believed that the banks will long be able to sus- tain themselves. ‘Thetariffhas been looked upon in some quarters as the harbinger of improved trade in all directions, although no one has undertaken to show, by what possible operation, the means of the people to purchase goods at higher prices, can be improved by it. The mere fact, that, with markets glutted with goods of all descriptions, foreign and domestic, atariffhas been passed prohibiting the future introduc- tion of some of these goods, produces no positive benefit to the people at large, nor does it give any immediate relief to the manufacturers. It only holds out to the latter the hope that, in future years, after the present stock of goods shall be consumed, they may obtain at least present prices for those which hereafter may be manufactur- ed. This, in regard to trade, is the whole length and breadth of the tariff. In regardto revenue, it will, most undoubtedly, diminish the customs. It is a fact clearly susceptible of truth, that the high duties of 1928 did not increase the revenue of the government. The increase arose solely from the increased imports caused by the in- creased volume of the currency. The following table will show, from official sources, the average quantity of foreign goods entered for consumption during the five years previous to the tariff of 1923, and for the five :years during the action of that tariff, also the average United States Bank loans, and the average customs for the same period :— For. goods Bank _. consumed. — Loans. Customs. Av’e 5 yrs before the tariff 57,000,000 22,000,000 20,780,000 3 during ba 68,000,000 44,000,000 24,600,000 Increase under the tariff, $11,000,000 22,000,000 3,820,000 The U.S. Bank loans are an index to the expansion all over the Union, the increase in all the banks being in the same proportion. The facts are then clear that the bank loans doubled—that the imports increased 20 per cent, and that the customs increased also 20 per cent, showing that the increased rates ofduties had no effect either in increa- sing the revenues or in diminishing imports; the latter ef- fect being counteracted by the expansien of the banks.— TheJbanks now are in no condition to expand. There is now no foreign credit, and all banking credits are perish- ing beneath the State, corporate and individual dishonors. The following table will illustrate the difference in the position of the banking system, now and at the passage of the tariff of 1828 :-— Inckease or Banxina tx tHe Usiren Srati No. banks, Capital. From 182010 1830, 32 8,081,657 ireulat'n Loans. & Dep. 24.530,000 46,000,000 “1830 to 1840, 392 213,250,424 262,445,909 65,800,000 Decrease. “1840 to 1842, 14l_—180,590,220 195,350,330 69,000,000 ‘This decrease since 1840 is by actual failure and liqui- dation of the banks; a much larger diminution in loans and currency has taken place on the part ofthose banks that are yet doing business. The cause ofthis vast retro- grade movement has not been in the nature of the tariff, but in the absolute inability to pay debts. It is an undoubted fact, however, that the banking ca. pital is still redundant, and the process of curtailment must go on,until the funds employed in banking are no greater than will pay aprofitin a legitimate way. The amount of funds required, depends in a great degree, upon the state of the markets for produce, a fact which may be il- lustrated in the article of flour, whieh abserbs in a great measure the meansof the banks in certain districts. The quantity ef flour manufactured in this State for the year 1841, was not far from 2,000,000 bbls. In 1889 there were about 13,000,000 bushels of wheat produced in this State, in addition to 1,000,000 bushels brought here from other States—making 14,000,000 bushels, equal to near 3,000,000 bbls. of flour. If we assume 2,000,000 bbls. as the quantity of each year, we shall have the following as the amount of money employed inthe trade, The price in 1837 was $10, and is now $4,50. Therefore in 1937 it required $20,- 000,000 to conduct the business, and but $9,000,000 in 1842, leaving $11,000,000 for other employments, or not em- ployed at all. In the same proportion has the price of all articles fallen. When prices were going up, there was a constant demand for more bank capital, and it was created as the rates advanced. The reverse has now been the case for three years, and consequently it is as requisite to re- duce the capital as it before was tn increase it. The same general causes operate upon all sections of the Union, mere particularly at New Orleans, and the effects are now taking a definite shape between the strong banks and the weak ones. The capital of the banks in New Orleans was largely increased in 1836, to meet the fictitions demand occasioned by the rise in cotton, of which paper inflation was the cause. ‘The system thus“ makes the meat it feeds on.” The following isa table of the banking capital of Louisiana :— Bang Carrray or Louisiana. 5 ks. No. of branehi ital. i soretiedt: Apter In 1836, the price of and in that year the banking capital was increased near $7,000,000, as follows :— Bank Cartrat at New Onteans iw 1836. Incnrase o Ban Cartan at Naw iy ss $19,000,000 $6,961,570 This was the work of one year. The pri articles received at and exported from New Orl are cotton and tobacco, the prices of which must necessarily de- pend upon the state of actual demand in the market of con- sumption. If we now compare the quantity received, and the prices of the several years, we shall find that tho amount of funds required has immensely fallen off, as follows :— Quantity Axo VaLue or Cotton Exronten rnom New Value. 20,916,840 or 425,115 k capital has actually required to conduct the'cotton business in 1841 than in 1835, and yet the capital so employed was $14,000,000 in excess of tuat year. This is not all, how ever. In 1835, 1836, and 1833, the prices at New Orleans were nearer to the Liverpool rates than they have been since. In 1841, instead of a value of $29,457,504, accord- ing to the prices in New Orleans, the $19,264 bales did not realize more than $21,000,000, and should not have been valued in New Orleans, at the highest, at more than $20,000,000. ‘The fictitious valuation arises from the un- healthy action of the redundant capital created in 1936, and which the market, from the increased excess of pro- duction, in comparison with consumption, will a0 longer rupport. Itis evident, therefore, that a sound state of the market cannot be restored until the weak banks, which Bes a
