DR.. SwAYNE--Dear Sir: Vi
DERMIT me to take the liberty Of writing to you
at this time to express my appreciation, and to
recommend to the attention of heads Of families and
others your invaluable medicine-the Compound
Syrup Of irunus Virginiana, or Wild Cherry Bark.
In my travels of late, have seen, in great many
instances the wonderful effects Of your medicine in
relieving children of very obstinate complaints such
as Coughing, Wheezing, Choking of Phlegm, Asth-
matte attacks, &c., &C. should not have written
this letter, however, at present. although have felt
it my duty TO add my testimony to it for some time,
had it not been for late instance where the medi.
cine above alluded to was instrumental in restoring
to perfect health ssonly child, ,, whose case was
almost hopeless, in family of my acquaintance 81
thank Heaven" said the doating mother, my child
is saved from the jaws Of death " and now say and
believe that beyond all doubt, DR. Swaynes Com
pound Syrup Of Wild Cherry is the most valuable
medicine in thus or any other country. j am certain
have witnessed more than one hundred cases where
it has been attended with complete success am
using myself in obstinate attack of Bronchitis in
which it proved effectual in an exceedingly short
time, considering the severity Of the case can re-
commend it in The fullest confidence Of its superior
virtues i would advise that no family should be
without it; it is very pleasant and always beneficial
worth double, and often ten times its price. The
public are assured there is no quackery about it.

SPECIMEN OF WHIG LYING


ThUrlOw Weed, editor of the Albany
Evening Journal, the leading whig pa.
per at the seat of government in the
State of New York, has published the
following aVOwal Of his own infamy, to
avoid the penalties Of liberal suit which
was in preparation. The Albany Jour-
nal is by no means a solitary instance in
the art of lying. The whig papers gen.
orally place their whole dependence for
the support of their principles on the
propagation of the most barefaced and
wantOn falsehoods:
From the Albany Evening Journal.
DAVID HAAuLToN.-On the 24th Of
April last, we copied into this paper from
the " Rochester Democrt" an article re-
fecting in the severest terms on the
character Of Mr.. Hamilton. in connexion
with the enlargement Of the Erie canal,
and com binations with Gov. BOuek and
others, 10 speculate 10 property along the
line thereof, and to plunder the public
treasury. Previous to that date, we have
also on various occasions during the past
winter, written and published editorial
articles, and copied articles from other
papers, speeches, &C., breathing the
same language of suspicion and cOndem
nation. To give US an opportunity Of
substantiating all or any of these charg-
es, II true, and to obtain redress if they
we're false and libellOus, Mr.. Hamilton
has commenced prosecution against US.
Being perfectly satisfied that the charg-
ss and allegations thus published are en-
tirely without foundation, it becomes
our duty TO disabuse the public mind,
and to admit that they we're in all re-
spects unautto ized from any evidence in
our possession at the time they were
made.
We are convinced that in regard TO
Mr.. Hamilton the report of the inVesti
eating committee made 10 the Senate on
the 18th ofApril last, by Senators Ely,
Franklin and Mitchell, was entirely &C.
curate, where it is said "David Hamilton
was superintendent upon the lst section
of the Erie canal, from 1885 TO 1888, uu-
der VIM. 6. Bouck, canal commissioner,
during which time he had discharged the
duties Of that Office with fidelity TO the
interest of the State and honor to himself,
when Mr.. Schuyler was appointed to fill
his place" "-and further, that the same
commendation may properly be bestowed
on all his subsequent conduct and cOu-
nexion with the enlargement of the Erie
canal. We therefore thus publicly re-
tract all and every charge, intimatiOn or
suspicion, that may have been conveyed
or inculcaled, by any previous publica'
ton in the Evening Journal against the
public or private character of David
Hamilton as a man, citizen or public
officer, and cheerfully state that we be-
lieve him to be free from the least re-
proach OF suspicion, and entitled 10 hIga.
