The CURE OF CHRONIC DlSEASES.---Eh
most safe and certain remedy ever known to the

been readily relieved.
Dyspepsia yields without struggle to its mild yet
powerful action upon the stomach. In Catarrh, or

their origin in impure state of the blood and fluids,

This tincture tends directly to excite healthy ac-
ton in the stomach, liver lungs and kidneys TO pu-
rify the blood and other fluids, by expelling every
particle Of morbid matter from the system, and
therefore fails to prove valuable remedy for
the diseases which calomel has been invariably used.
Old sores and ulcers, any chronic affection; and
for the calomel disease, it is an iniallibe remedy
This remedy is perfectly vegetable, mild, agree
able and safe for persons Of any age, either or
any condition, acknowledged by those who have tried
it, to be the best known family medicine.
The Justly celebrated tncture creates craving
appetite, and the patient is left at liberty to indulge
it, The use of this medicine will change the COM.

Political FoCperv,

So well are the wings convinced that tho OBJ
jectons so frequently urged agains, Mr.. Clay be.
cause Of his moral delinquency arc wc-ioundej,
that they have commenced the business of prop
ping up his character with certificates. Now, no.
thing is easier than To get up certificates. There
are men who, for small inducement, will certify
to almost any thing and some of them arc even
men OF fair standing in society. Blu. SO desperate
i, appears, has the Of the wing leader become
that his followers can nc longer get even respcc.
table men to certify 70 his good moral character
and they have been obliged 10 resort to forgery
Thus their papers all over the country have ate-
" been publishing hish-wrought eulogy on Mr.
Clay, which they say was pronounced before the
wing convention of Alabama, last year. by the
Rev. Dr. Caprrs, distinguished Methodist clcr.
cyman of South Carolina" Now, it appears no
such speech was ever made hy the individual to
whom /, Is attributed, nor by any other person,
tina, is known OF, but that il is from beginning tn
end fraud, got up for the purpose of misleading
tho people. A letter from DR.. Capcrs appears in
late number Of the Richmond wing in relation
to this speech, from which letter we make the fol.
lowing extract:
OF the merits Of this speech, as party eilnsion,
have nothing to say; hut | am much concctn-
ed about the matter of It's authorship; and the
more, since. in the discharge of my dulics rs Sc
crctary Cor missions in the southern and SOUTH
western division of the Methodist conferences |
passc, several months, last year, in the quarter
whence comes the speech. You will, therefore,
permit me to say that there is, and there has been,
but one individual, known under the designation
Of "Rev DR.. Capefs, of South Carolina, either in
South Carolina or elsewhere; and that that ind-
vidual (ha,ing now the honor to address YOU
was never present at a whig convention, or any
other political meeting in Alabama OF elsewhere,
last year, or a, any time. lie never in his life
made political speech and, SO far from it, has
RETAINED from voting iorany civil officer, since the
time when. in struggle TO put down Sunday
marketing in the city Of savannah, (some "a years
ago,) the candidate whom no supported for this
sole purpose, having been elected, went agains,

M,sws. Hse d Osman--For the purpose Of 81
wing general information through the county and
Of aiding the cause of bcnevolence, will you give
publicity to the following proceedings through
the medium of your paper!
At a meeting of the friends of the Bible cause,
held at the Mechanics Hail. in Ottawa, on the
evening of the 18th of April, lSA4, far the pur.
pose oi organizing county Bible society, the
Rev. HENRY MINARp was called to the char and
VI. T.. HoLLIsrER appointed secretary.
After listening to an address on the subject by
Nr. V. A. Boguc. agent of the American Bible
Sncie,y for that portion of Illinois lying south OF
Rock River, it was resolved TO organize n Bible
society for the county, (the old one having ceased
to EXIST to he called the ''La Sale county Bible
Society, Auxiliary To the American Bible Socie-
iv," the object of which shall be to circulate the
Bible "without note or comment" among the dcs.
ltute of the county, and to raise means 10 aid the
parent society in supplying the destitute in o.
parts of the United States and the world.
A constitution was adopted, creating as officers
Of the society a president, five vice presidents, a
treasurer, n secretary and an executive board con-
sis,ng Of the president, secretary, treasurer, aud
two others.
The following gentlemen were unanimously
elected officers for the ensuing year:
William True, of Ottawa, President;
Joel Strawn, Of tea precinct; Nahum Gould,
Of Troy Grove; William Scclv, of Ncrmilion
John II. Henderson, OF Indian Greek; anal Elisha
Bihbens, of Lorain, vice presidents.
NJ j.. Hnllis,er, of Ottawa, secretary; and
DR.. Harmon Hurlhut, Of Ottawa, treasurer.
Gilhcr, l.. Thompson and Gershom Burr, Of
Ouawn. were appointed members Of the executive
committee.
|, is deemed unnecessary 10 furnish for pubca-
ton a copy of the constitution as the executive
committee have taken steps to have i, placed in
the hands of the friends of the cause in every pre-
cnct, at the earlics, period.
With your permission, will avail myself OF
this opportunity to urge upon the Christian and
the philar,hrop,st The duty of contributing as H.
hcraly as his means will PERM, to this grea, and
benevolent object, 1t is an cn'erprize which par
takes in no degree of sectarian character, its
purpose being to distribute among the destitute
the Bible "w,hout note or comment in the com
monty received English version, and one in which
ali Christians may unite as on common ground,
70 promote the hghcs, interests of man.
There are many in this county entirely desii.
,ute of The word of God, whor: il is the design OF
this society to supply, ut prices lower than from
any other source; and wherever destitute are
found who are too poor To purchase, they will be
supplied gratis, II is, therefore, hoped that oil
who feel an interest in diilusins the blessings Of
Gods word among men, will unite, with hear,
and hand, in the way best calculated, above all
others, to accomplish the object. III.

The senate is now engaged in discussing the
post Office blI, and has for the las, two weeks
been engaged on that and the tariff bill. The
rexian treaty has been submitted; but the SEN
ate has not gone into secret session yet. Should
the senate conclude to discuss this treaty with
open doors, it will I'll the senate with the great
est throng OF persons ever yet known, as there is
i great iuteres, manifested in the subject. The
nature Of the treaty no one knows excep, those
who made it, The general impression is the
treaty will be ratified.
The Oregon negotiation ia progressing, and
news says that Mr.. Calhoun ia showing The "true
grit and hat he has told Mr. Packenham that
England cannot have an inch Of Oregon. Pre-
sident Tyler has intimatcl that congress will
have an opportunity to act on that question, Ell
lher in the shape Of treaty or in provision for
It's defence.
The tariff bill has no, yet been taken up be-
cause members fear that, when it does come Up,
it Will monopoIize the attention Of the house for a
long while. No bill will pass the prescn; con-
gross because the senate is strongly whiy.
The harbor and river bill i, now pending, and
there seems more or less jealousy between those
friendly to the Ohio river trade and the lake
trade. The former have got all they ask and, if
they now deal as fairly with us, the bill will pass
satisfactorily to ALL But there is grea, opposition
to the Illinois river improvement, without which,
when our canal is completed. our channel Of
communication will not be complete. Douglass
made an able speech on this subject yesterday
But the southern men all oppose it on conslilu-
tlonal grounds, whilst others oppose i, on grounds
Of sectional jealousy. The Wabash river insert
ed in committee to kill the bill, got Do votes only
when the ayes and noes where called.
The democrats arc in the best Of spirits here, and
all we want is to initiate the activity Of the wings
to carry the president in November next.
