jag.-* s t nenU, while the Democracy are count ng it gallantly and triumphantly on buoyant waves, and to otkcr am greater victories. PHRENO-MNEMOTECHNY. Col. J. Atwood, of Hamilton, Madison County, g^vo a Very interesting lecture, on Monday evening last, at the Court House, on Professor Fauvel-Guurand’s < lebrated system of artificial memory, or, as R is techni cally called, Phreno-Mnemotechny. The lecture, am the exhibition given of the wonderful powers of the me mory, when cultivated on the principles of this system, fuiiy justified the high encomiums that have been pass ed upon Professor Gourand and his system by the New- York. press, and, we believe, perfectly convinced the entire audience, which was large and respectable, that there is wonderful power and practicability in the sys tem, or that Col. A. is a very.extraordinary man. He disclaimed all pretensions to the latter, especially in re gard to natural powers of memory; and said, if he ex hibited any unusual appearance of a great memory, the credit was exclusively due to the system he teaches.— The numerous tables of important statistics, and im mense files of figures upon which he was examined by the audience, without a mistake in a single unit, ought to convince the most sceptical that no person, however strong and retentive his natural powers of memory may be, could accomplish such Herculean feats of memory without some very important aid. He promises to give any person of ordinary capacity to learn, the ability to do all that he exhibits, in a course of six lectures, at a comparatively trilling expense. Who will neglect the opportunity to avail themselves of such an advantage! No one, we think, who values the acquisition of know ledge. We have been acquainted with Col. A. many years, and, aside from the evidence he has given of the value of the system, we know him to be a gentleman a- bove being engaged in the promulgation of a humbug. As he is about opening a class here, we can but antici pate a sufficient appreciation 011 the part of the intelli gent citizens of Binghamton to render his stay with us not only agreeable hut profitable. §3“Our friend Muzzy of the Binghamton Hotel, it will be seen has abandoned whiggery and all its *ins; and comes in to swell the triumphant army of ■the democracy. We give him welcome— and beg •’leave to 6ay to our friends that they will find his House in excellence of accommodation and manage ment, unsurpassed by any Hotel in Binghamton. To the Editor oj the Binghamton Courier.— I have, as you are well aware, heretofore acted with the whig party and zealously supported their men and measures. Upon a full and careful examination of the issues presented in the approaching contest, I am forced to the conclusion that the true interests of the people will be best piomolcd by the support of the 'democratic candidates and consequently of democrat, ■fro measures, and I shall act accordingly. In taking leave politically of those with whom I have so long acted, 1 give them the assurance of my good wishes personally, and beg tcavu lo express the hope that they may., upon .proper reflection and ex amination, sec as I have done, that w<ktg doctrines •and principles are erroneous. W. II. MUZZY. Binghamton, Sept. 1*9, 1844. “ In rcsnect to political parties, of which I bare seen many in this country, during a life which is now (considerably protracted, 1 believe, m the main, most -of them think, or have,persuaded tliemselves to believe, that they arc aiming at the happiness of -their coun- • try. Their duties and their interests, well under, ■stood, must, -necessarily urge them to -promote its 'welfare. They are, it is true, often deceived by their ■own passions and prejudices, and rlill more by inter •cstcd demagogues who cloak and conceal their sinis ter designs. -Political parlies, according to my hum- ible opinion of -their legitimate sphere of action,ought to be regarded as nothing more than instruments or means,-: tivr-ffecling the great .purpose, of a Wisead:' -ministration of Government ; highly 'useful when not factious, and controlled fey public virtue and patriot ism ; but, when country is lost -sight of, atrd the in terests of the party become .paramount to the inter ests of the country—when Che Government is seized by a party, and is wit administered for the benefit of the people, and the whole people, bat to advance the purposes and selfish aims of itself, or rather o f its ilea tiers, then is such a party, whatever may b e'the popular name-it may assume, highly detrimental and dangerous.” In the following article from the Broome Republi ■can vow will perceive the cause of my present address ■—the editor of that paper having thus brought my name before yon, it becomes me to reply. “ O* The sourest and most uncomfortable fellows’ we have seen for a long time, were I he' Poik Xls of Ibis village, on the day of lire whig mass meeting'. They had not only lost the sport they expected to have of rejoicing at the defeat of the whig* a t the •charier election, bat-they saw in the vast multitudes that came'upto the whig convocation, the best rea son to believe they were destined to a more complete and shameful overthrow in the county this fall. Among the most rabid of them was Mr. Vixen. W hitney — a man foi whom we have hitherto enter tained a high regard— and who owed it to his char acter and position in society to conduct like a gen tleman, and hot as a loafer. Mr. W. interrupted one of the speakers at the meeting, denying the accuracy of his statements. Having set the example of inter- rupling the speakers, Mr. \V. retired, evidently well satisfied with what he had done, and a number of half drunken Polk ats took his place, bawling at the speaker, “ that's a lie,”— that’s a coon lie,\ and other expressions of the same kind- At last a loco- focb came up and offered two of those clamorous loafers , a silver dollar to pull the speaker from the stand, and they agreed to do it, and would probably have attempted it, but for prompt interference on the part of the whig*. Dr. Hand, we are informed, bawled out that a statement made by another uf the speakers was “ a lie.” Such mean, ioaferish con duct, community were prepared to expect from the Doctor, but not from Mr. Whitney. *” I have stated aud now repeat, that ao far as my name is-concerned the occurrences at the whig mass ■meeting are perverted if not untrue. It is however «tf but little moment to the public at which precise point the false part may end ur the truth commence. In regard however to the principles avowed by the •orators, I think very differently— they eftect for weal ■or for woe every citizen in our glorious union; and it becomes the moral duty of all to earcfully scan the principles and conduct of men, sought to be advanc ed to places of honor and profit. At the head of this address I place my motto, fur mished at - my hands, *od expressed in clear, strong and forcible language; and I ask the eandid and fair to look a t it twice or thrice. The sentiments are ■those of Henry Clay, but I subscribe to them hearti and «e wJUee in tho sequel to whom they can Ibc applied. At the meeting on the 5th inst., Doct. Kelsey of Rochester, Mather of Troy, Messrs. Headley, Sweet *nd Davis of Owego and Speed of Ithaoa, wersthe speakers. Most of what I heard them say, was on the subject of the annexation of Texas and the tariff. On the subject of Texas (I took no notea) they de claimed much after the fashion of Gov. Seward a n d 1 others, and the following extract from a speeoh of Gov. Seward, will fairly express ifie views and feel ings of them all: “ All that is dear to the whig* of the United States, in regard to policy, to principle and to administration] is now involved with your own favorite eaqsf ip, the present issue upon the admission of Tsxas to Urn Vnitm. The pecurity—th*dtinljO'H-th* extension of slovs^rraU depend on the annexation qf T oxm , Wow, jfemt, eaa *ny friend of emaueijfctum vote for tho Texas candidate, or withheld bis vet* frees the whig candidates, without exhibiting the mere ea- price of faction? “ Texas and slavery are at war with the interests, tbs principles, the sympathies of all. Tha integrity of the Union depends on the resalt. To increase the slave.bolding power is to subvert the Constitution, to give a fearful preponderance which may, and pro bably Will, be speedily followed by demands’to which the democratic free labor Statee cannot yield, and the demand of which will be made the ground of ee cession, nullification and disunion.” I here beg the careful attention of all to this ex tract from Gov. Seward’s speech. It opposes annex ation, ms a principle, not as a mere matter of expedi ency, but as an enduring principle, the eame to-day, to morrow, and forever. And ao did the whig ora tors St this meeting. Annexation, in their view. Was “disunion, nullification, and destruction, to all that whigs hold dear, in regard to policy, principle, or administration.” While with the eame breath they appealed to the multitude around them, to rally to the standard of Henry Clay, as the candidate who, if elected, would prevent so dreadful a calamity. It was in the midst of such an appeal that the speaker was reqnested to read flcnry Clay’s letter on annexa- tion, dated July 27th, 1944. Now let the readier compare the following extract from that letter, with the extract we have given from Ex. Gov. Seward's address and with the ranting of these whig orators, and then judge whether such a request was either out of place, or decerving of the ecnsurca contained in the Brooinc Republican. In that letter addressed to a gentleman in Alaba- cna, Mr, Clay says 1 But gentlemen, you are desirous of knowing by what policy I would be guided, in the event of my election as chief magistrate of the U. States, in ref erence to the question of the annexation of Texas, 1 do not think it right to announce in advance, what will be the course of a future administration in res pect' to a question with a foreign power. I have, however, no hesitation in saying that, far from bav- ng any personal objection to the annexation of Tsx- as, I should be glad to sec it, without dishonor— without war, with '.he common consent of the Un ion, and spoe just and fair terras. I do not think that the subject of slavery ought to affect the ques tion one way or the other. Whether Texas be inde- lendent, or incorporated in the United States, I do not believe it will shorten the duration of that instil, tntion. It is destined to become extinct, at some distant day, in my opinion, by the operation of the inevitable laws of population. It would be unwise lo refuse a permanent acquisition, which will exist as long as the globe remains, on account of a tem- >orary institution.” Let us see how these men can talk together. “ Friends of Emancipation I—Advocates of the rights of Mao !-rDemocrats, Liberty men, and Whigs I”—hark—“ The security—the duration—the extension of Slavery —all depend on the annexation of T e x a s — Seward, ** Whether Texas be independent or annexed to the 1 Jrifted States, I do, not believe it will shorten the duration of that institution (slavery!”— H. Clay, “ H e (Clay) if opposed lo Texue. He is the can didate of the Whig party. They are opposed to Tei- at.\ — Seward - “ I have however no hesitation in saying, that, far from having «*f personal objection to the an - nexation of Texas, I should be glad to tee it, with out war— without dishonor—with the common con. sent of the onion, and upon just and fair terms”— H. Clay. ■ Texas and slavery are at war with the interest?, the principlet, the sympathies of all. Tho integrity of the Union, depends on the result .”—Scwot d. “ It would be unwise to refuse* pormancnt acqui. silion which will exist as lung as the globe remains, on account of a temporary institution.”— H. Clay.. But th i s ' is hot all the proofs of Mr. Clay’s real views in regard to this question. In 1819 he had made * speech in Congress, against the treaty Ceding it away. ' President Tyler states in a letter published throughout the Union that the Archives of the De- partmert of State shew that Mr. Clay proposed an Secretary of State to purchase Texas from Mexioo, only three years after Mexico had declared her inde- pcndcnce of Spain. M r. Clay too had in another let- ter dated 1st July 18-14, entirely mystified his letter written before his nomination and which was, as un- dc'rstood by the whole country of a negative charac ter. lie said that in speaking of a large and respec table portion o f the confederacy as threatening dis- m, he meant “ States” and not persons. One (States) 4 thing almost certain not to happen while the other (persons) had already occurred. I beg every man feeling a* interest in this question lo read all Mr. Clay’s letters earcfully and it will, at once besceft tliat residing as he does in a |*>rtiot! of the Union very strongly or almost unanimously in favor of this measure, lie has been driven from the negative to the affirmative, and that he in truth oc cupies the precise ground before occupied by his neighbor of Tennessee, James K. Polk. , Both are in favor of annexation when it can be done ” without war,* (unjust war I suppose) without dishonor, with the common Crinscht of the Union, (as explained by Mr. Clay,) and upon just and fair terms,” and nei ther upon any other terms. Gov. Seward has occupied the Gubernatorial chair of the first State in the Union, he essayed lo unite ini his own person the talents and integrity of both Clinton and Tompkins, and under such circumstan ces I expected better things from him. I leave him to posterity and his. own conscience to adjust his po sition, most sincerely believing myself that auch barefaced hypocricy, was never before exhibited and that our citizens were insulted and trifled wilh by it. 1 have already written more than I had intended to say. yet much remains I wish to my, but I now close with a request that the reader may again turn to my text xnd apply it astohiin seems just.

ELY.- S3*®IS, InrnKZ*' German Vege- table Headache Piile, prepared by T I L D E N & CO. New Lebanon, N. Y .— Among the various remedies before the public there a re none whose virtues have been m o recheerfullv. and universally acknowledged, as being pecul iarly well adapted for removing Headache, Sick Headache and the whole class of kind red disea ses, by restoring a healthy tone and action to the Stomach, front a disordered state of which arise most, if not all the difficulties of the head. It. was the result of many years study and experience of an eminent physician, ana was used by him through a longand extensive prac tice; it is a happy combination of vegetable substances, is mild, safe, but effectual. Head ache is a disease from whicharisesmore misery to the human family than from almost any oth er, being insiduous in its course, and not being directly fatal, is frequently neglected to such an extent as to impair the general health, injure the constitution and induce dangerous diseases.— When there are indications of an approaching attack of Sick Headache if an immediate resort he had to the Pills the attack will be obviated. Then, if a dull, disagreeable sensation of the head is felt, caused by a determination of blood to the head, or in cases of periodical Headache; they will be found effectual in curing and obvi ating the attacks. - Food should be taken in moderate quantities, hearly and stimulating kinds, and articles apt to produce acidity avoid ed. When the system has been a long timeout -of order, and a predisposition to severe and sud den attacks, some little time with patience, and constant use of the medicine will be necessary, before full advantages will be derived fiom it. They have been found equally efficacious in tlysppp*ia. Indigestion, Loss of appetite. Heart burn, Giddiness &c. Its success while used in private medical practice, as well as since it has been before the public, affording conclusive ev idence of its value, and the proprietors desirous of placing it within :he reach of every individu* al, have been induced to reduce the price to 12 1-2 cents per Box. ?C^“ P o r Sale by R o b e r t C.

S in g W orms &c.—. Unparalleled success!. This remedy has given relief in every case, and has cured .over two thousand nine hundred in t h . r e r t h o u s a n d . The above Medicine is a rare combination of Medical Remedies of great value; trom its superior healing.properties, and. from its use in many cases when, all other remedies have failed not only curing but giving relief im m e d iately - jus'ifies us in saying that it is the most valuable and efficacious remedy ever presented tp the publicjn cases of Salt Rheum, Ringworm, Scald head, and all diseases of. the Skin and Blood. , It is not offered, like many, nostrums of the day, upon the mere i f’commeyiation of the pro prietors, but upon the .testimony of Physicians, eminent in their profession, who have not only examined the composition, but tested its healing virtues in their practice, and upon the testimony of others who have been relieved from a state.of suffering, after having tried all. other prescrip tions in vain. The success which has attended this Medi cine is wonderful beyond description. Persons . with the most inveterate eruptions covering the. whole body and head, causing the hair to fall off and who have tried all the remedies and skill they could procure without any lasting benefit have been in a few weeks perfectly and permanently cured. Of this fact hundreds of certificates could be procured, but they Could not more thoroughly convince the public-than the testimony already adduced. - - When men of the first respectability and standing in community think it their duty to in cur theresponsibility of recommending it (0 their fellow.citizens it is evident that there must be something more than common in its effects. If is also equally apparent that Physicians will not hazard their reputatiou in recommending a Medicine not justly tested, or which is unwor thy of notice. These factsoffer an argument so plain and conclusive that they need only be mentioned to enforce conviction. For sale by R o b e r t C. T r i v e t t , Binghamton—^-where ample.
