Dear sir-The Matchless Sanative sells well
and with signal success. One Casa young
man, in the last stages of consumption, given
over by his physician, has been taking it only a.
fewweeks and is now able to walk and ride out.
Before he took the Sanative he was unable to
get out Of bed, and his death was hourly ex-
pected. But to the astonishment of his friends
he was soon able to leave his bed and to be out
as before stated. Two other similar cases
have recently occurred.

The Halifax correspondent of the Boston Atlas
the State of Maine has such warlike appearance,
that il is the general opinion that war cannot now
be averted between the two countries. We shall
particularly lament if the good and kindred feel
ing that ought to prevail should now be broken
up, and hope that it may still blow over
1t appears, however, by accounts through the
same channel, that they are making ample prepa-
ration for war, the Legislature having voted to
place at the disposal of the Governor 100000
to assist the mother country to raise volunteers to
GO the aid of the sister province. Of New Bruins
wick. 5000 men, il is said will be raised imme-
diately.
Ii is further stated, that this vote was followed
by long and hearty cheers for New Brunswick
and tile Queen of Great Britain, and that, after
the resolutions were adopted by the assembly,
three hearty cheers were proposed by one of the
members, which was responded to by all present.
This statement Of the Atlas correspondent is con-
| frmed By the remarks Of the Nora Scotia Royal
Ga2eHe, which Says Never have we before
witnessed such a heart-slrring scene, nor ever be-
fore heard such cheers in our house of assembly"
| That the ignorant canaiWe in the galleries of the
legislative hall should raise shout, on the pas
sage of the /" resolutions" alluded TO, is not sur
prising; but that members of respectable legs-
atve body should far forget their dignity as to
follow the lead Of the rabble--tilat one member
SHOULD propose and that all the rest should respond,
to give vent to their animated feelings on the
bright aaa happy prospect b. fore them-and that,
more like set of bedlamtes than grave lcgisla-
tors they should convert so solemn scene into
rowdy reyel, is a disgrace to that province
| We would only remark that, if they court
war, which VIC deprccate under any circumstances
whatever, they can, and probably will, have one
that will give them quite much to attend to as
they will be well able to manage, and that events
may possibly convert their cheering and shouting
into lameniation, mourning and woe.

COMMUNICATIONS.

Our answer to the following is, that those men
who congregated to do honor to their own coun-
try. and not 10 ours, had no right to mask their
iorcignlsm under the stars aud stripes of America,
but that the act is in keeping with that scheme Of
hypocrisy, both in our laws and in those who take
| advantage Of them, that makes men patriots, by
virtue Of an oath, who are only SO according to
their pleasure or their interest.
We do not blame any set of men for manifest
| ing remembrance, love, preference, for the
land of their birth, wherever they may be-we
DO not reproach them for reverence for their in
stitutons, whether of limited monarchy or des-
|posm; but we object 10 their ceremonies upon
public occasions, in honor of their own lands and
laws, under the name and pretensions of Ameri-
can citizenship.
What would be said of company Of Ameli-
cans in England, or in France, who, as nauraized
citizens by the laws Of either country, woultl.ce-
lebrate the day of our Independence under the
"Onion jack of the one, or the F2eurs de

attempt would not be tolerated, and those who
were parties in it would be looked upon as merce-
nary men, fa,hless TO iheir own land, and there
fore not worthy Of confidence or respect in that
OF their adoption.
federation we admit, to every reasonable, ay,
to every peaceable, extent. We not only acqui-
esce in the demonstrations which all men feel for
the homes Of their youth, and the preudccs in
herlted from their ancestors, but we encourage
them with only this limitation, that it shall be ex
hbted in the colors Of truth--that Englshmen
when they celebrate st. Georges day, shall do
as Englishmen--lhat the Irish, who wish to carr
memory home to glades and dongs of their youn
days, shall not uncanonize saint cast off his CT
rements, and parade him ga political demagogut
TO conceal the bitterness Of party, and to jusf
their abuse Of the very people who have give
them shelter-in fine, that the character of Amt

be used TO cloak the doings that originated in
