Dear Sir-len months have NOE G.
lapsed since my daughter Mary Ann has been,
by the use of your invaluable medicine, re-
stored to a state of much better health than
we could reasonably have expected and as
duty owe TO suffering humanity, aud gra-
titude to yourself, tender this, Trusting it
may prove useful TO those similarly afflicted.
About twelve years ago she complained Of
severe pains in her back and hip, which
grew worse aud worse until she was almost
unable to move, or turn herselfin bed. Dn-
ring this period her back and hip sweled We
ny much, and the pain extended down the
leg, which lost lis natural power a wasting
OF aesh-loss oil appetite, and evacuation en-
sued, and her conntenance depicted misery
She continued without much, if any, alterati.
On for the better, Creeping her strictly under
tue advice of an eminent medIca gentleman
for considerable time, when the swelling
on the hip began TO increase herphysician 5
Prescriptions became useless ; they recon-
mended the steel jackei--one was procured&
tried, but in vain, and the disease seemed to
bid defiance TO all the well-known remedies
Ia that complaint, that were here employed
She was then considered incurdbie Her
SISTER having died OF the same complaint, at-
"' o' hiHe>e vi iouV years, WE were VI o)inl-
On that Mary Ann must share the same fate
Having heard of the remarkable success of
your Catholicon in scroiuous complaints,
was resolved to make IA trial of ii. She be
gan its use, and in few days The swelling on
'he hip broke, and discharged greatly she
could then use her crutch--in Il few weeks
longer her pains disappeared-the discharge
eeased-the ulcer heaed-her appetite re-

not yet been apprehended. We rejoice at the hap.
by termination Of this rebellion, which threatened
evil consequences to the Republic of Mexico, and
hope that neighbours may now feel the dangers OF
so large standing army as they maintain. ,
The soi-dissant conspiracy of Padre arenas sti
engages small share Of the public attention. Ano-
Their Friar, Martinez, believed to be most active IN
the plot, has been apprehended in attempting to
conceal himself at a small village in the plain OF
Toluca and has been brought to Mexico for trial.
On the 2lst March, at midnight, Generals Negrete
and Echavarre were both arrested and implicated IN
the conspiracy. The first was Immediately sent to
Acapulco, the other to Perote to be confined in the
castles at those places. These Generals were both
distinguished in the Mexican Revolution, and altho'
Spanards, were active in the cause of independence,
and against Iturbde. Their arrest, consequently,
created great excitement and general CONSERVATION.

At meeting of the Democratic Republicans OF
New Castle County, convened at the Red Lion on
Saturday the 9th instant, where Major ca EB z.
BENNETT acted as chairman, and WILLIAM t.
READ, as Secretary, portion of the meeting con-
sistng of at least half Of the persons present,
withdrew and organized meeting by calling Gen.
RICHARD MANSFIELD, to the chair, and app
pointing w. A. MENDENHALL, Secretary.
Whereupon it Was
ReSoIued, That the persons here assembled, con-
sisting of an equal portion, if not majority Of the
meeting Of Democratic Republicans OF Newt Castle
County, this day convened at the Red LAolls protest
against the proceedings of said meeting;
Because, our rights as component part OF said
meeting, we're violated BY the decision Of the chair
against US, questions where we evidently consu'
tuted majority.
Because. the proceedings Of that tortion of said
meeting from Which we have separated, were ire
gler, unprecedented and subversive of the harmony
Of the Democratic party in this County, by the open
avowal made by the friends of General Jackson,
that the Presidential question was the only question
to be decided that day and by the incorporate and
lisorganizing manner in which they supported this
avowa.
Resolved, That this meeting now adjourn to meet
at the Red Lion or Saturday the 4th day of july
next at which time and place the friends Of the
Administration of the General Government, in New
Castle County, are invtcd to attend for the purpose
of uniting their efforts in support Of the Admins
tration.

near three years upon this footing hastily shut
out from her West India and other colonies and put
an end to the negotiation. But besides if the rea-
sons for issuing her order in council were in fact
found only in the principles and provisions of our
law of 1928, how happens it that she has left open
the Canadas and her other North American posses
sions? Why has she not closed them? If the law
in itself be good, bad indifferent as it respects
all. What is there in the law ITSELF that Mr.. Sc
cretary Canning, or any body else viii say ustities
an intercourse under it with the Canadas, that does
not equally justify the like intercourse with the w.
Indies? Or warrants him in admitting our vessels into
part, and excluding them from the rest Of his ma
jesty's colonies? Does the law then furnish the
reasons? Motley to be sought for in another
quartet. England wishes to build Up her northern
American possessions; and to supply with her own
shipping her West India colonies: and she hopes to
do it at the expense of her commercial marine. II
some of our own citizens do not, she fully compre.
bends the strength and Importance of this powerful
arm OF . IT old national prosperity and defence.
