SANDs's SARsAPARILLA.-Longevity or long life
is the result {under the blessings Of Provdence) Of
healthy condition of the system in which all the
functions Of the body properly carried on thus
constituting one complete and harmonious whole.
The food when taken into the stomach forms pulpy
mass and by the action of gastric juice is converted
into chyme. The chyme being combined with
healthy bile, is changed into two distinct portions,
called chylc and a residuum the chyle being taken
up by the absorbents lactae vessels it is first dis
tributed over the interior service of the bowels and
then collected into the chest the heart when it
combines with the blood, passing through the heart
into the lungs, enters the general circulation, and
goes to the support and nourishment Of the whole
system.
1t is here that remedies for the preservation of life
address themselves, and if properly compounded and
well adapted to the natural wants of the animal
economy, their beneficial results speedily shown
Among the various important discoveries of this
wonder working age may be classed Sands's Sarsa-
parilla. The valuable medicine being SO happily
adapted for the removal and cure of all scrofulous
mercural, and cutaneous diseases, also affections of
the liver and other diseases originating in an impure
depraved state of the blood, it has won its way
into public favor until it is now considered sove
reign remedy for large class of malades. Its pc
cuiar operation consists in its combining with the
rs conservative natra, DEMONSTRATING principle,
thereby repellng all morbiic matter, and removing
the cause Of disease.

not sufficiently estimated by those who suffer
from rheumatism and govt Slight cases Of rheu-

LATE FROM HAyANA--IMPORTANT
FROM MEXICO III

From the Savannah Republican of Monday the l3ihI
The schooner Ann A. Parker, Captain Bright
man, arrived yesterday, from Havana, bringing
dates one day later than previous arrivals. We
have received by her the Diaro de la Marina of
the S'h inst. which contains dates from the city
Of Mexico to the 25th, and from Vera Cruz to the
Both ult. They were brought to that port by the
British Mail Steamer Teviot.
From an article in the Diario it appears that
at just about the same time that Tyler signed the
treaty of Texas, the Daro del Gobierno de Me-
jco remarked as follows: "What the Hespera
and the Correo Frances, of to-day, say in regard
to the annexation of Texas to the United States,
cannot be true, and we have reason for believing
it not SO. Our Government has received its off,
cial correspondence from Washington, the con-
tents of which is just the contrary of what these
papers say. But be it as it may, our Govern
ment is determined not to lose the usufped terri
tory and to that end she will use her best efforts
to recover il, that the honor and dignity, and good
name of the nation shall not suffer-
We notice nothing further of the least interest
to the American reader in the paper before us.
In addition to the above, we learn from pas
senger in the Ann A. Parker, who left the city of
Mexico on the Goth of April, and Vera Cruz on
the I'd of May, that the question Of annexation
was somewhat talked of in both of those cities.
No definite information on the subject of the trea-
ty seemed to be had but there was very gen.
eral Indignation felt and expressed against any
movement on the part Of the United States, tend
ing to deprive the Mexican Government of her
supposed rights in regard ia the territory of
Texas. The most determined hostility to the
movement evidently existed, and it was APPARENT
that it would be resisted to the last extremity.

The speech on the tariff, recently made in Con-
gress by the Hon. E. Joy Morris, has been pub
lished in pamphlet form. 1t occupies 16 closely
printed pages, and abounds with statistical facts,
apt Illustrations, and forcible arguments. Mr..
Morris has acquitted himself during his brief ca
reer in Congress, in a manner calculated to do
him much honor, and to afford great satisfaction
to his constituents. He has shown himself to be
the earnest and untiring friend of the American
laborer His speech upon the tariff is one of the
best of the many that have been made during the
present session of Congress.-PhH. Inquirer.
Correctly said, every word of it; and our friend
of the Inquirer might have added, that, for his
urbane and gentlemanly department., as well as
for his genuine political character, no man in Con-
gress enjoys more of the esteem of our citizens.
He reflects as much honor on the station he occu-
pies, as it confers on hsa; which is not common,
by any means, nowadays. His constituency
have just cause to be proud of him. And with
out intending to dsparage in the least the many
excellent speeches that have been delivered in
the House this session on the tariff, we doubt
whether any of them are calculated to give more
light on the subject than that Of Mr.. Morris.

Jones, gave Wing majority of FIVE HUNDRED

lumdus co., Journal.
We can hardly suppose the experienced editor
of the Journal expects his question to be answer
ed by Mr.. Speaker Jones: all such questions
reach the deaf side of that gentleman. But we
will ask a question of the Committee of Eec-
tons, which, perhaps, some of them may hear
when do you intend to report on the validity of
the seat he holds We say, never" our word

That my voice has a grandcr sound by night,
And my notes richer flow.

He listened to me, one summers eve,
And ever since then without my leave,
He has tried to learn my song.
