DR.. SwAYNx-Dear Sir:
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 Prunus Virginiana, or Wild Cherry Bark.
In nv travels of late, have seen, in great many
instances, the wonderful effects of your medicine in
relieving children Of very obstinate complaints, such
rs Coughing, Wheeling, Choking of Phlegm, Astll-
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 Tor some time
had it not been for late instance where the medi.
cine above alluded to was instrumental in restoring
to perfect health an "only child" whose was
almost hopeless, in family of my acquaintance
thank Heaven" said the doatng mother, my child
is saved from the jaws of death p and now say and
believe that, beyond all doubt, DR. Swaynes Com
pound Syrup Of Wild Cherry is the most valuable
medicine in this or any other country. am certain
have witnessed more than one hundred cases where
il has been attended with complete success ! am
using it myself in an 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; 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.

TnE GERMAN TREATY.-A letter from
MIR. A. Horsnann of Phadel phIa, dated At
Berlin, March -, and published IN the New
York Commercial Advertiser, gives W. some
further light on The subject Of the treaty ne
go''aied by Mr.. Wheaton With lhe Govern.
ment of Prussia, in behalf Of the German
Customs Union. The purport Of the treaty
is stated to be that the duty on American
tobacco imported into the German States,
which are parties 10 the Union Is to be re
duced from l-2 to 4 rxdollars, and in return
the United States are to admit German linens,
and goods Of German manufacture at no
higher rate Of duty than 90 per cent, and the
tobacco and the goods to be entitled TO this
reduction are TO be accompanied by cerlif.
Gates Of origin.
Ii is stated further that the treaty was con
cluded under tho special influence Of Mr..
Mark. who came out with special instruct lons
from President Tyler. aud that ''lhe Presi
dent wanted the treaty concluded at once, in
order 10 influence The nomination at Ealti.

letter, which seems very odd, as does in fact
the whole transaction. II Is stated that Mr..
Mark has the appointment to two consulates,
one at Elberfeld in Prussia, aud the other at
Munich hin Bavaria. We shall doubtless learn
more OF this treaty from Washington. Bosl.

The following is an extract from a letter to
the n. Y. Commercial Advertiser, duted at
Washington, Saturday, April 81, lS44 -
"Mr Clay has spent portion Of his time, +,
since he arrived here, at the house of Mr..
William A. Brady. lie dined yesterday with
MIR. Crttendens mess, and those who were
present tell !le that he wps exceeding pleas
ant aud cheerful, aad full Of anecdote aud wit.
IL is said that, in his Southern journey, he
broke down all the committees who attended
him None Of them could sustain the ialisues
Of travel, company &c, Ne, as well as the
sold coon,' as Mr.. Clay is Gmiliarly called
here. In fact. MIR. Clay's health and spirits
appear to have been improved rashos than de-
teriorated oflate years.
MIR. Clay's letter on the subject Of annexa-
ton appears to give universal satisfaction -
Many of the friends Of annexation say that
Mr.. Clay goes far enough fYr them for they
confidently believe that Mexico will assent to
the measure aud that nine tenths of the peo-
pie Of the Union will go for it, They are
perfectly well content that the present treaty
should be rejected. Those havins personal
aud political interests stakod on immediate an
neAa,ion can alone oppose Mr. CIay's views"
