BbandbetiTs Pills.—'This medicine IS acknowledged lo be one of the most va¬ luable ever discovered, as a purifier ofthe blind and fluids. It is superior to Sarsa¬ parilla whether as a sudorific or ulteru- tive, and stands infinitely before all the preparations and combinations of Mercury Its purgutive proparties are alone of in¬ calculable vulue, lor these pills may be taken duily lor any periud, and instead of weakening by the cathartic ell'ect, they add strength by taking away tha cause of weakness. Tliey have none of the miser¬ able eft'ects of that deadly specilic Mercu¬ ry. 'The teeth are not injured—the hones and limbs are nut partilysed—no; but instead ot these distreesing symptoms, | new life and consequent animation is evi¬ dent in every inoveiiient of the body.
Brandretli's Pills a.ie indeed a universal remedy; because they cleanse und purify the bluod. Five years this medicine has been before the puulic in the U.iitcd Stales wherever it has b'jen introduced, it has superseded all other remedies.

Fellow cilizens of the Senule and House
of Rl presenlatives:
Our devout gratitutle is due to the Su¬ preme Being lor having graciously con¬ tinued to tur beloved countiy, through the vicisiludi'S ol anoiher yeur, the iiival uuble blessings of lieultli, plenty and peace. Seldum hus this favored lund been so generally exempted t'runi the rav¬ ages of diseuse, or the lubor of the hus- baiidmun mote amply rewur.ieii; and nev¬ er uelore huve our relations with other countries been pluced on u mote I'jvoru-. ble basis than thai which lliey so huppily occupy at this critical cunjunclure 111 the alTaira ol the world.     A rigid und perie
ol 'Is provisions, deposited vvith the Slates in the months of January, .4pril, und July of th.it yeur. In Miy there oc¬ cuned u general suspension ol specie pay ments by the banks, including, with very fi!W exceptions, thuse in which the pub¬ lic moneys were deposited, antl upon whuse fidelity the Government had unfor. tuL.itely made ilself dependent for the revenues which had been collected form the people, and were indispensable to the public service.
'This suspension, and the excesses in banking and coiiimcrte out of which it arose, and whicii were greatly aggravated by itsoccurrrnce, made to a great extent, unavailable the principal part ol the pub- li'j money then on hand .: suspended the cullection of many millions accruing on merchants' bunds ; and greatly reduced lhe revenue arising from customs and public lanils. 'Thereeli'ects hive coiitin«. ued to operate, in various degrees, fo the piesent period; and in addition to the de- cieutie ill iheieveiiue thus produced, two und a hulf millions of tluties have been relinquished by two biennial reductions under the act lit 183o, anil probably as much mure upun the imporfaticn of iron fur railroads by special legislation.
\\hilst such has been our condition for the lasf luur years in relation to revenue, vve huve, during the same period, been subjected to an unavoidublc continuance uf large extraurdinary expences necessa¬ rily "rowing out of past transactions, and which could not be immediately arrested without great prejudice to the public in¬ terest. Ofthese, the charge upon the Treasury inconsequence of the Cheroke^ treuty alone, without adverting to others ^ arising out of Iniliun treaties, has already djustmeiit ol j I'xeei'iled live inillions of doll.irs; that lor the prusecuilun ot measures for the remo¬ val of the Seminole Indians, which were found in progress, has been nearly four- t en milliuns; and the public buildings have requiied the unusual suin ol nearly three millions.
It aliurtln me, Iiowevcr, great pleasure to be able to suy, thut, from the com» iiiencement uf this periud lo the present day, every demand upun the Govcrnnient al home or abroad, hasbecn piomptly met. 'This has been tlone, not only without crc* ating a permanent debt, ura resort to ad- ditiimul taxatiun ill any form, but in tha midstof a steadil}>.i)rogressive reduction of existing bunlens up< n the people, leal--

Amung the rellectiuns arising from tha cnntemplution uf ihese cireumsiunces, on« nut the least gratilying, is the conscious¬ ness that the Government hud the resolu¬ lion and the ability to adhere, in every emergency, to the sacred obligaiiuns of law; to execute all its contracts accord¬ ing to the requirements of the constitu- and  thus fo present,   when most
