From the Cincinnati Gazette. LETTERS OF GREAT MEN.

Mr. Secretary Woodbury wrote letter last sum- mer, of which the following IS copy
 "WAsHINGToN Sh July, 1886. DEAR SIR:--Yours of inc 2d inst. deserves my best acknowledgements for its numerous useful sug gestions.
 The naval bill, as to Admrals, did not get through both Houses and our friend EIliot with some other gallant fellows, must longer feel the pang of hope de- ferred.
 Our overfoying Treasury, which is so often prayed for, will, fear, prove curse. But my best efforts will be gve1 10 execute the late law faithfully, though have many msgvings to it's fatal influence on the sound relations heretofore existing between the states and the general government
 The President wishes me 10 express his thanks for your kind remembrance of him. He leaves this city n few days for Tennessee. l believe the ensuing presidential election IS to be unusually quiet, and will not allow myself to despair of the Republic, however portentous may be some of the signs of the times. Should we become involved in a real or quasi war with Mexico the surplus revenue may never De divi- ded or will be soon recalled Al all events the whole vii be wanted in iS42 if not earlier Five millions are to come off the present Tariff in lS4l, alone. Mir Adams health has not been good the latter part of the session but I saw Mrs Adams quite well at church last Sunday
 Truly and respectfully. your obt servant,

 Woodbury IS of the Kitchen Cabinet, as well as of the parlor. This letter speaks out the views of inc goodly concern upon two points. If the navy bill had passed Figure Head Elliott was 10 have been made an admiral! And if ncihing else could distribute fts public money FROM THE STATES, quasi ,oar l with Mexico was looked up to for that purpose. These disclosures show plainly the abomnstion of the Kitchen administrator.

FOUR CIVIL QUESTIONS.


 l. Did not Martin Van Buren vote to prevent the election of Justices of lhe peace by the peoplel
 9 Did he not oppose the election of sherds by the people?
 Sd. Did he not vote to permit black and mulato per sons to exercise the right of suffrage, under certain srictions?
 4. Did he not oppose he sufFiciency of Working on the highways and doing military duty, qualification for voter and wish to add "HousEHoLDER" to said qualification Ohio Peoples Press.
 Yes, he did all these things, and these not all. He exerted his utmost strength and infucnde in 1923 to withhold from the people of New York he privilege of voting for President and vice President of he Uni ted States. If the principle, which he attempted to tablish, to be established throughout the country the people of the United States would be denied all parcipatons whatever in the election of the first and second officers of Government, and the whole power to appoint those high funetionares would belong the local Legislatures. The principle is far mon- strous in the eyes of free and democratic community than the gag law of the reign of terror Dare any of the Tory editors open their mouths upon this subject
 Dare they break the death.like silence which they now so scrupuously keepl

Is there not beauty and charm in that
venerable and venerated woman who sits in
the "majesty of age" beside the freside of
her son, she who nursed him in his infancy
tended him in youth, counselled him in man
hood, and who now dwels as the tutelary
goddess of his household? What a host Of
blessed memories are linked with that mother,
even in her reverence and chair-days" what
multitude of sanctifyng associations sur
round her and make her lovely, even on the
verge OF the grave! Is there not a beauty
ana charm in that matronly woman who is
looking fondly on her child in her lap? Is
there not a holy influence around her, and
does not the observer at once pronounce hel
lovely? What! though the line and Jinea'
mcnt Of youth are fled. Time has given fal
more than he has taken away. And is there
not beauty and charm in that fair girl who
| is kneeling before that matron--her own wo'
manly sympathies just opening into active
life, as she folds the playful infant to her bo
som? All are beautiful-the opening bios
som, the mature flower, and the ripened fruit
and the callous heart, and the sensual mind
that gropes for loveliness as n stimulant fo
passion, only shows that it has no correc
senses of beauty Constitutional Magazine

And leaves the smile Of his departure spread

TuNIIIS is the most valuable remedy yet dscov-
n cred for the cure Of Throat Disemper, or
Malignant, Putrd, liberated Sore Throat; Scar
let Fever; Canker Rash; Canker in the Mouth,
Throat and Bowels; DianGha; Dysentary; Sore
Mouth of Nursing Women; and the Acrid iiumors
Of Teeihing Children; in short. for almost all the
affections Of the Mucus Membrane Of the Mouth,
Throat and Alimentary Canal These diseases
are acknowledged by all Physicians to be of the
most severe and obstinate character, and have
long bafled their skill and research. The dlscov-
cry, therefore, Of an ehectual remedy for them,
particularly for the various forms Of Scarlet Fo-
vcr, must be considered by every true phan,hro-
pist as an invaluable desideratum. As a common
and perfectly safe family medicine, it will be
found Of nestimable value in cases Of common
Sore Throats and Colds; disordered state Of the
Stomach and Bowels; such as habiual Costive-
ness; Indigestion; Flatulency; Nausen and Voin-
iting. Also, in cases Of weakness arising from
Fever and all debilitating Diseases: such as Con-
sumption, sc; it will he found very beneficial as
a cathauic and alternative, il neither causes de-
bility, nor does it rs is the case with the opera
ton Of most medicine, so readily dispose one to
take cold.
The Vegetable Extract has now been some time
before the public, and its great powers justly tes-
ted. Hundreds Of individuals have successfully
tried it, and several eminent Physicians are in the
almost daily use Of it in their practice. who are
truly astonished at its great curative qualiiies and
are ready to give their testimony in favor OF lis
efficiency and power. There now remains but
one obstacle in the way Of its very general use
and that is, the price. The proprietors, being de-
sirous to obviate this difficulty, have therefore de-
termned TO reduce the price to 62a cents per bot
tie, for one year, which barely remunerates for
the great expense Of preparing the article; this
will bring il within the means Of every person, 50
that no one need suffer for the want Of il; and the
poor man be able to obtain it. for himself and
family, as well as the rich.

what is here stated, relative to the Vegetable tx
tract. and will call on one of the proprietors, No.

dations which will accompany each bottle, other
abundant and most satisfactory evidence will be

without, and when nature itself turned traitor,
