Only one personal visit is required-from a country patient , to enable Messrs . Perry aiKi Co . to give such advice as will be the means of ¦ . effecting a pormanent and effectual cure , after all other means have proved ineffectual : THE -CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , aiid is exclusively directed to the euro of sach . complaints as arise from a disorKanization Of the GenerativeSystem , whether constitutional Or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from Syphilticdis ase ; aad is calculated to ¦' afford .-decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of-their system , and fallen into a stato of chron ! C deb ! fity , by which the constitution is loft in a deplorable state , and that ncrvdns mentality kept np which places the indiyidHal in a state of anxiety for tho remainder of life . The consequences aTipihg from-this dsngerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result , ¦ b ' tit branch to moral ones ; leading thft excited deviating mind into a fertile field of seducive error "into a gradual but tola" ! degradation of manhood—into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for tbo presgrvatioa of her species ; bringing on ¦• prem . . v . v . re-dc . cripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : —such a one cafriea with him tho form and aspect of other men , but without the . vigour and energy of that season wb / ' ch his , ' early youth bade him hope to . attaTii , How many men cease to be men , or at least , cea ^ e to tnj by manhood at thirty ? How many at eighteen receive , tho impression of the seeds of Syphilitic dise ; ise itself ? the consequences o * which travel oat of theordinary track of boiily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidence of its ruthles 3 nature ,, and impregnating the wholesome stream of life with morfalrpoison ; conveying into familiea the seeds of disunion , and uuhappiness ; underminiTiK domestic harmony ; and striking at the very soul of human intercourse . The fearfully abused powers of the human Generative System require the most cautious preservation j and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadful evils , that such medicine should be employed that is most certain to be successful . It is for these cases Messrs . Perry and Co ., partimilarly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRI ACUM which is intended to relieve those persons , who , by an immoT derate indulgence of their passions , ha . ro ruined their constimtiona , or in their way to the consummation of-that deplorable , state , axe affected with any of those previous symptoms thav betray ; its approach , as tho various affxtions of the nervous system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructionJi of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotency ,. barre ! mes- - , &c As nothing can ba bettor adapted tp "holp and nourish the constitution , so there is nothin ?; more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly e 3 ic 3 eious in all inward wastings , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembl'ng or shaking of the hands or limb ? , obstinate coughs , shortness . of breath , or consuraptive habits .

LOVE OF COUNTRY . NOTHING can possibly prove an Individual ' s Patriotism more than .. the efforts he ia making in behalf of his afflicted countrymen . The strength and bulwark of any nation lies in the happy frames of her . Sons and Daughters . u A bold Peasantry , our Country ' s pride , " oncf reduced id effeminacy , stand a poor chance of successfully competing with the encroachments of foreign int , erfeftne « , or of . domestic tyranny . Iu the palerand l&nqnid invalid , there is seldom the spirit to maiHtain an indtpendent position when assailed by the insidious or threatening attacks of the Oppressoi ' , but he seeks rather to conciliate , or even concede a point , than to resist the iitiliction of a wrong ; thus having once allowed the iron to enter , like a wedge , by slow degrees , it was dr ven home , and the tottering fabric of libeity comes to the ground . The re volutionsl and fall of Empires prove this to be correct , und the history o . fpf onressive iudependencc , from the commencement of time , furnishes us with the fact , that those mighty deeda of imperishable tamo , which grace ite pages , hive been achieved only by the healthy aud vigorous ; the mind partaking ot ° the nature of the body , glowing with rational enthusiasm , has asserted its right , and the strong arm of daring achieved ihe victory . In Politica , every one seems to be well aoquaiuted with the various evils that afflict -, society , and y ^ t , but few are found sufficiently enlightened or oVld enough to prescribe a remedy . It is just so with the diseases incident to the human tVauio ; all can talk of and lament their existence , and jet few iudeed can be found to point out the mean ? , tufikiiently within the roach of all men j for obramiaa their removal . The extensive use of Parr ' s Life Pills has , however , dispelled the mist of ignorance ; and tens of thousands who have been cured oi the most inveterate maladies arc now gratefully employed in recommending their more general adopikra ; If every tamily in the kingdorn would keep a supply of this incomparable Mtdiojne by them , pyiematuro old agei would never happen , and seldom iadeod Bhonld we behold in mvr streets the pale and haggard lock , the conmnipUve cheek , or tottering debility ; we should rise a- * ft p ? QiplQ and . improYS aa a nation .

BRI&HTON . —At a recent meeting here the conduct of Mr . O'Brien , in reference to his indecent and scurrilous attacks on the Star , has been made the subject of discussion .

blows were had recourse to , and the police were actually called in to settle the row . These "intellectual" proceedings were carried on for five successive evenings , daring which all decent men being turned out , the O'Brienites found themselves on the next night" alone in their glory , " and having it" all their own way , " an usqualified vote of confidence was of course given to O'Brien . Such is the fair substance of a number of communitions which we have received from both sides . God help the man who has many friends like those of Mr . O'Brien at Brighton .

disguised , the Chartist movement would ere now have been swamped by self-interested parties , who make a traffic of the people ' s miseries , as other movements have been , during the last thirty years' struggle for politxil freedom , during which period the people ' s ciuse has been repeatedly bought and sold like a bullock at Smithfield ; we do , therefore , declare our unequivoral approval of his past conduct , and sb' -ill place implieit conSdence in him for the future , so loDg as he pursues the same undaunted and patriotic course , and shall eive him our utmsst support "

That while we have the greatest confidence in the political integrity of the Editor of the Northern Star—that while we can bear testimoay- to tho honest and consistent manner in which he has advocated the : rights of the industrious classes , yet we deeply regret and deplore the dispute which has recently taken place between the Editor of that paper and Robert Kemp Philp , which it appears has originated in
tha over-sensitiveness ^ of the latter in the first instance , and been continued by tha retaliation of the former ; and we have reason to believe that if a more conciliatory spirit had been evinced by each , it would have reflected greater credit upon the people ' s cause . We cordially concur in the recommendation of the Executive that Chartists should be slow to condemn men whose lives have been devoted to the people ' s cause ; and we take this opportunity of expressing our confidence in Robert Kemp Philp until sufficient evidence can he adduced to convince us that such confidence is misplaced . "

"
Mansfield . —The Chiirtists of Mansfield met in their room on Sunday afternoon , when the mombpra recorded their votes for the respective men of their choice . And the following resolution was unanimously passed : " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the acknowledged organ of the Chartist movement , the Northern Star , should not be the medium of personal , abuse or party spleen , and that the late must unfounded attick upon the Editor , by men who had stood high in the estimation ef the sons of labour , is highly censurable , and calculated to retard the onward progress of universal truth and freedom ; and that this meeting hoid that the ground of attack upon Mr . Hill , in reference to resolutions coming from other quarters is most puerile and unjust , and cannot be too much condemned . "
LONDON . —LiMEHOUSE . —At the weekly meeting of the Limehouse locality on Monday last , Mr . Frcztsr , in rising to propose a vote of confidence in JVIr . Hiil , Editor of the Northern Star , naid he was gla 4 the crisis ( which he had some menths ago predicted ) , had arrived , when it weuld be of importance to act with decision , in reference to the unfortunate misunderstandings that at present existed between that gentleman and some of the prominent members of the bady , more especially the Executive Committee ; that intriguing treacherous politicians and disappointed men would feel annoyed by him , or any other man who would discharge his duty fearlessly was as natural as that the thief should fear each bush nh officer , but that thu Executive whose conduct upon ths whole , had
gained them unfading laurels , should feel so thinskinned upon a mere question of technical legality touching addresses , was to him inexplicable ; he was sorry to say that he feared those who were accustomed to look on their proceedings with a jaundiced eye , would say it afforded evidence that thuy were niurd tenacious of their own legal arquirementa than tho general safety of the movement they wore appointed to direct ; he regretted this , as he would have wished them to have left a better impression upon the public on their retirement , though he was in hopes he would see a majority of them renew their lease of tflfoe . It would appear from the conduct pursued to tho Star and its E litor by some men , that they would like an «• organ " very well , but then it must boa band orc ; i : i , a » d the
player a mere automaton—every tune must b © V praise of . themselves , not even an extemporaneous variation must be introduced ; now ho would like the musician to compose his own airs , and alter the -subject as circumstances might require . He said he never read a piece of music more congenial to bis taste than the whole of hiB article otSAtuvOuy , June tho 11 th . He would admit that the Editor had faults ; one of them he thought the most prominent was the extreme caution and studied courtesy he pursued towards the " Lions" of tbe movement , which he believed was the sole cause of the presenl bickerings , they having pref-unieu upon his forbear . incC ' . . He-might say himself , as far as he was personally conctrned / behad been treated more courteously by the Star ' --than by any other journal
With whica he h . id tbe honour to correspond ; but was that any reason that he should endeavour to deprive the Chartist cause of an honest , talented , and unflinching advocate ? The conduct of Mr . Cooper , of Lvicestsr , who bad toe courage to btard one of the angry Lions , cannot be too much admired by his brother Chartists ; for notwithstanding his fierce and ungovernable ravings when allowed to roam at large , yet when attacked by tbe arms of reason alone he seems to be quite a harmless animal . He thought if the people would follow tho example of Mr . Cooper and express their decided opinion upon mature deliberation , it would bIiow public men that they were only to be judged by their outward bearing , and would eventually be the cause of introducing a butter 6 tate of things , . He thought tha
strongest proof of the honesty and efficacy of that unflinching journal , its Editor and Proprietor , was the extreme hatred entertained towards it , and them , by the opponents of the amelioration of the condition of the working classes , which alpue was a sufficient cause for the Chartists reposing renewed confidencein it ; and then , after a long Bpeech in which he reviewed the conduct of some of the discontents , he concluded by moving the following resolution : — - " That the members of tbe Limchouser locality > believing the conduct of public mon in their public capacity to be fair ground for public critcism , are of opinion that Mr . Hill , in his capacity of editor of the Northern Star ( the accredited agent tf . the National Charter Association ) had done no more than bis duty in delivering his opinion upon their actions , at ttie same time leaving the columns cf his journal open to
to any explanation or contradiction they way have w eflfer . They at the same time . cannot dismiss this subject without expressing tiieir unfeigned admiration' of the general conduct of the Executive , and their deep sense of the extensive benefits conferred on the cause by the exertions of . Mr . Hill ; " The motion having been seconded , Mr . Gilrqy moved as aa anivsuduiunt , which , was seconded by Mr . Squires" That Mr . Philp ' s name be excluded from that part of the vote relative to the Executive ; and that Mr Cooper , of Leicester , receive a vote of thanks for hia courageous conduct with reference to the affair with O Brveu , " which waa earned by a considerable majority . Thanks having been voted to the Chairman ( Mr . Tayntonj , the meeting broke up with tha greatest harmony , proving that the " small fry" can reciprocate opinions without abusing each uther .
CHARTIST BOOT AND SHOKMaKERS . — Mr . Illingwortu lectured here on Sunday evening , at the Star Cuflve Housb . Golden-lane ; after which the meeting resolved unanimously , " That we have the greatest confidence in the Editor of tho Northern Star , wfiorn we rt ^ pect for his straightforward ai , d manly conduct ; and our confidence in him ahall continue as lime as he continues to advocate tbe rights of the working clasps fearlessly and boldly as he has hitkerio done . " Hit ob . Miss . Glowe Fields . —At a full meeting
of the numbers of this lucaiity , the following resolution was resolved unanimously , " That we , the . members of this locality do p ace the most implicit ci . nfl'lence in the Rev . Wm . Hill , Editor of the Northern Star , for his integrity of conduct on nil occasions that concerns the cause of the people ; beirg . 2 rin ! y convinced , from having watched him with ii . 'H attiality , that be is Reserving of our utmost support while be continues in the same Hoe of policy on wh ' wh he has hitherto acted ; and that we arc determined t « Buppurt him as far aa uur abilities allow . "
London Hatters , Brown Bear , Southwakk Bridge Road . —At tho w-. tudy moeitni ; of ihu above locality , after the local buMne&i-had been settled , tiie following resolution was carried iiiianimouf-Jy : — " That we consider thp remarks made by the Eauor of the Star , on the Bath movement , wtTp penectly justified and called for by tho circumstanoos of the case . Yet feeling the most perfect contidonce in the honesty of Mr . Philpa iutenuous , thoy lament that those remark .- * should have - . led t >> such uutortunate disputes . But whiiat the ' -Star id conducted , as at present , and its proprietor maintains the same undeviating line of conduct , they consider it enti-« led to the confidence and support of the Chartist body . —Joha R .

TO MR . WM . HiLL . SIR . —We , the Chartists of Hey wood , after due consideration of all the circumstances connected with the various " new moves , " are of opinion that y ' pa have acted in a manner calculated to advance real Chartism , and retard the progress of real humbug , for which we return you our best thanks ; also we pledge ouiaaivea to support the Proprietor and Editor of the NorUiern Star , so long as they act in the straightforward manner in which they have hitherto done . James Milne , sub-Secretary . Hey wood , June 12 , I 8 ih
TO THE REV . MR . HILL . SIR , —It is with considerable pain that we , . the undersigned , seethe necessity ofanswering your call to the people , whether it . is in accordance witli the wish of the people that there should be so much bluster about dictation and denunciation in the Star . We think it the duty of the people to come-forward and support the Star and its Editor in the present juncture , and tell their enemies ( wa can't call them . friends ) that they will not allow their citadel to be undermined . Sir , it is painful to see such men a 3 O Briea and PhUp sojealou 3 of ' their , own importance as to consider themselves above suspicion , and not suffer their names to be mentioned by a public writer , except in praise and commendation , without considering themselves " denounced , " and using virulent language in what they cull their " vindication . "
We have read the Stars of March and April last , over and over again , and we . can see nothing to call forth the unmanly attack made upon you by these gentlemen . We consider snch conduct suspicious , an *! we say they are doing more to injure their iriSuence in the Chaftist ranks than you could fdo in seven years were they honest We have carefully read your comment ? in the Slar of the 4 th inat ., and we say you are fully justified in those remarks in ennsequsnee of Mr . Phjlp s letter , and his attack in the Vindicator . Sir , it is with pain and deep regret wo see the Executive this week go so far out of their way to the length of six pargrapbs in censuring you , we thought some of the Executive would have learned different from the opinion given by the whole of the meeting in Carpenter's Hall on Sanday night , the 5 th inst ., when they brought forward their palt y resolution . Thia shows a disrespect to public opinion , and is much m ire deserving of censure than anything tbey have charged : upon you .
We are sorry these gentlemen are so sensitive , because a document of theirs wag acknowledged to be altered by you ; it made them " criminally ignorant of their duty , " and " lowered them in the estimation of tho people , " forsooth ! They have laboured hard to strain at a gnat , and swallow a camel . We think you deserve credit for your careful perusal of every document you send to press , and yeur good intention to keep . our society out of the fanga of the law . The Executive are but working men like ourselves . " great bulwark pf the nation , " consequently , cannot be sufficiently versed in the various Acts of Parliament
touching political societies . If you , Sir , were not sufficiently cautious , vhat would be the const qitence ? The Star would be like the Manckestei Herald of firmer days ; the publisher of which had twenty-one indictments against him at one Ass'lzaa , in 1821 . The euns . pque : ' . c ' e was the failure of the paper . And does any one think the present Government ( a chip of tha old block ) would not pounce on the Star , in the same manner , and crush it at once , if they had the least chance ? . All they want is a pretext to do so , and it requires great caution and care on your part ; the more so as there are many others who ^ rould willingly crush the paper , as we ? l as the . Government .
Sir , continue in your straightforward and manly course , and yon will soon vanquish all your narrowminded and selfish foes . You Jjaye the strength of the nation at your back , and who can withstand them ? Iu justice to you and the cause we have at hearty we thua step forward to declare , our full approval of your upright conduct , and our determination to support you and the Star , Signed by a few neighbours in Chorlton-upon-Mediock , THO 3 IAS Croker John Dixon John Jacohs Joskph Gkisdrod John Guest Joseph Cotton KiCHARn Lomax William Kotiiwell Joii ; v Holt James Edmondson .
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —In reference to the angry feeling manifested towards you by Messrs . O Brien , Philp , Vincent , and others , we have ccm . 9 ~ . t 0 the following resolution : — Resolved , — " That the thanksof this meeting are due , and are hereby ^ iven to the Editor of the Northern Star , for his unflinching advocacy of the people ' s cause , and likewise for his mild yet manly criticisms on the actions of several individuals belonging to the Chartist cause , and that we promise him our support and confidence so long as he continues in the straight-forward course he has hitherto pursued .
Signed on behalf of the meeting , Wm . Barrett , Sub-Sea Ripponden , June 15 th , 1842 .
