In other words iliey open all (he nut-drains, and leave NATURE (THE GRAND PHYSICIAN) free to drive disease from lhe body.

The above or drains, are the common sewers ol the botfv, which ull morbid und corrupt humors (the cuus'e of disease) are carried off; and so long us they are kept open, und dhr- v.i. go nrciy ineir allotted portions ol nnpurily, the body willcontiuue in heullli, but when from enlinz improper food, mipuie wir, kuuucii ir.uisiiions irom neat to cold over exhaustion or any oilier cause, the bowels become cos-live, the pores ol theskki become closed, or (lie kidneys fail to perform their functions properly, lhe impurities which should be drained from lhe body by these ouilels, will be retained, and continue to accumulate until the body becomes lilerully loaded with disease. If the channels of our mighty rivers should become blocked up, would not the accumulated wafers find new outlets, or the country become inundated 1 Just so with the human body; il the natural drains become closed, the stagnant and corrupt humors will find vent in the various forms of disease such us Fever, Small Pox, Measles, Rheumatism, Gout, Apoplexy, or Deuth will end our sufferings. Therelore, when sickness at the stomach, pain in lhe buck and side, quick pulse, burning skin, or any other unpleasant symptoms, indicate thut one or more of the natural drains are not discharging freely, and that the constitution is about to commence a sluggle for the rcstoratif of health, no time should be lost in administering a few brisk doses of the Indian Purgative (INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS) By so doing, all the functions of the body will be restored to order, and the foul humors (tbe' cause of every inflammation or pain we suffer) will be removed in so easy or natural a manner, that the body will be restored as if by a charm. The above Pills may betaken at A t.t.

times, and under ALL circumstances, with, perfect safety. They suit ALL COMPLAINTS and all ages, and are natural to the human consli-union as food; consequently they can never injure the most delicale. Like our food, they are digestible; therefor thev enter into the circulation and impart tin energy totlie which enables it to flow with freedomquiteto the extremities aud consequently to keep the pores of the skin open. They are Irae and perfect purifiers of the blood; because thev drain all corrupt humors from that life-giving fluid. They "impart strength and vigor to the whole system, and their effects are always beneficial; because they only remove those humors which are opposed to health.

They aid and improve digestion, and sound sleep follows their use; liecause they cleanse the stomacb and bowels of those slimy humors which not only irritate and excite nervous system, but paralyze and weaken the digestive organs. In short they possess all the good properties that can be claimed for any medicine, and what is very remarkable, it is utterly impossible to use them without benefit. More than twelve thousand persons enn be referred to who have been cured of complaints apparently of the most dangerous character, solely by the use of the INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. O-OFFICE, mid general Depot for the sale of the above PILLS in the New England Stales, 198 TREMONT STREET, near Court Stieet, Boston, where they can be had at Wholesale or Retail. JCJ-Agents have been appointed for the sale of the Pills in most every town in New England.

Journal ofj Commerce, stating mat tne itonan potatoe although it yields abundantly, is unpalatable- and unfit lor tne ibdio. una statement is prouamv made from inference, rather than from any act ual knowledge of facts.1 When people hear of a potatoe wnicn yields so abundantly and grows so large, they at once conclude (hut there must be some defect to match these peculiarities; and the most natural thing to exclaim against the quality of the potatoe itself. From this, we verily believe, has arisen all the predjutlice that exists against the Rohan as a potatoe for the table. The truth is, the Rohan requires a longer time to ripen than most other varieties and no potatoe is good unless fully ripe. People have dug the Rohan when the tops were green in order to try them, and at once pronounced them unfit for the table; when had they waited for them to become fully ripe, they would have found them sweet, palatable and nutritious as any other potatoe.

The Journal of Commerce says: "One reason "why the Rohans yield so lergo a crop in proportion to the number of potatoes planted, is, that they are full of eyes, and each eye cf course produces a separate root. Here again that paper is in fault. The Rohan docs not contain one half so great a number of eyes as the variety called the "Lady's Finger," and yet it yields twice as great a crop. The crop is never in exact proportion to the number of eyes in the or any thing like if, and those acquainted practically with raising potatoes, laugh at such an absurdity. We will only add in this place, that a gentle man of our acquaintance has experimented upon the Rohan potatoe, and found it to contain quite as great a proportion ot nutncious matter tari-na, glutine, and the like as any other variety.

Junes. The Congress of Texas has pnssed a luw granting $2,932 acres of good land to every woman, who will marry, during the present year, a citizen of that Republic, who was such at the time of the declaration of their independence If such a premium upon matrimony is not enough, the women of Texas may die old maids and be hanged to them. lb. OTlt is now stated that Gen. Root is elected Senator in the third district in New York, by a majority of three votes over the highest Van Huren candidate.

1 his is close dodging lhe other two whig candidates are certainly elected, as the returns are official from all except Scho harie. lb. De Tocqueville, in. his works on America, speaking of the Western pioneer, who goes in advance of emigration, says, "he penetrates the woods with his axe, his bible, and a hie ot newspapers." Some of our political papers would be first fate to scare away the catamounts. lb.

The poor woman is doing well. This is but one of the hundreds of victims of the brutality of the volunteers, to whom the cruel Colborne gave unrestricted license; and dreadfully did those bad men execute their unhallowed mission.

Pittsburgh Whig. A man in New York had his pocket picked of $300 last week by a female who thew her arms around his neck and squeezed the wallet from his pocket. As Davy Crocket Baid when he was hugged by the bear "it was a tight squeeze." Speed. Capt. John G.

Low, of Boston, one of the passengers in the Great Western on her last trip, arrived home in twenty-nine days from St. Petersburg, four of which he spent in Lon don. A man in Arkansas last week killed at eigh teen shots, 748 pigeons! So says an exchange. Had the story said 749, we would not have believed it. The demon spirit of incendiarism is still unsated.

On the 30th ult. another attempt was made to fire Mobile, at the Waveily House," but it failed.

A IROCIiAMATIOJV BV THE GOVERNOR. The closing year, while it shuts us out from that free intercourse which we have just been hold-, inj with nature in nil her countless shapes and rich variety, inclines man to reflection, and leads to a more intimate communion with him-- self. The first exercise of his heart, if rightly directed, is a remembrance of that Divine oodness which has so richly blessed him; and his first offering, a tribute of Thanksgiv- ins; to the Author of oil mercies. How benefiting then, that an opportunity be, afforded for all to units in aspirations of praise and thanksgiving. To present-such an occasion, I have been requested by the General Assembly to appoint, and do hereby appoint, THURSDAY, THE FIFTH DAY OF DECEMBER NEXT, to be observed throughout ihis State, as a day of public THANKSGIVING, PRAYER AND PRAISE.

In observing this season, let us remember that we commemorate a laudable usage of our fathers; one which they delighted to Celebrate, and around which cluster some of our earliest and fondest recollections. It was to them a day of true pleasure, and of chastened enjoyment. Let it be so to us. I would invite my fellow-citizens, on that day to suspend their; common engagements, and in their usual plai.es of public worship to assemble and unite in such religious exercises, as will prepare and enable them to offer unfeigned acknowledgments of gratitude to that Being who liau on Qinnnlllf finnrpll nnrl hlaswnrl US Let us thank GOD, that in the immensity of His works, in the innumerable ouject9 01 nis creation, we have not been forgottoh, but sustained and provided for That, in every passing moment we have fresh evidence that the goodness which called us into life at first, remains That he hath spared us as a people, from the destruction that wasteth at noon-day, and the pestilence that goeth abroad at midnight: That the past season has brought forth an ample supply of the fruits of the earth for man and beast. Arid while thus assembled, let a sense of past and present ingratitude, so effect us as to lead to a hiriier and more earnest consecration of all our of body and mind, to His service.

Let us entreat our heavenly Father to continue to us his benignant smiles; to watch over our interests both as a State and Nation; to preserve us from those evils which may threaten to disturb the permanency of our civil and religious institutions; to stay the progress of intemperance and vice among us; to remove from our land sin of slavery and injustice; to incline the hearts of the prosperous to alleviate and succor the poor and distressed: and to prepare us rightly to appreciate the blessings of religion, vouchsafed in the gift of his son, JESUS CHRIST; hrid finally sn In direct all OUT COIlcemS, aS to advance', the interests of true religion among men and thereby fit us for a just observance of divine injunction of doing unto others as tira ur.mlrl thv utwiuld fin llfltn IIS. si Given under my hand, and the seal of I. nfihft Slate, in Executive Chamber.

JENISON. Bv the Governor. GEO. B. MANSER, Secretary.

Down with the banks is the cry of the Loco Foco leaders every where. C. G. Green, one of the editors of the Boston Post, in the course of some remarks to "the assembled democracy" of Boston, one evening last week, made the fol lowing declaration "I go for the abolition of the whole chartered banking system, Yes; Mr Chairman, I go for no bank reform for no patching and mending I so for the total aboli tion of the whole banking system!" Eagle. Beautifully Consistent.

The 12th sect ion of the "Independent Ireasury bill declares that whenever public monies shall accumulate in the hands of any officer to an amount beyond that secured by his bond, said monies are to be de posited in some bank in the vicinity where the of ficer lives. According to the loco toco doctrine, how is the bank any safer than sub-treasurers? This very provision necessarily admits that banks are the safer of the two. It virtually says that when sub-treasurers prove unsafe, banks are secure The sub-treasury is not needed. Thanksgiving. -At a meeting of the ministers of the dinerent churches in Richmond, Va.

it was resolved to recommend that riday, lhe or December, be set apart as a day ot Thanks giving. The Governor of Ohio has issued his procla mation appointing Saturday, the 14th day of De cember, to be observed as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise for the many blessings enjoyed by the people of that State, and of the nation.
