nERMTT nae 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 nav 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, Wheeling, Choking OF Phlegm, Asth-
matte attacks, &c, SC. should not have written
this letter, however, at present. although have felt
it nv duty to add my testimony to 1T for some tIme
had it not been for late instance where the med-
cine above alluded to was instrumental in restoring
to perfect health an only child" whose case was
almost hopeless, in a family of my acquaintance l
thank Heaven y said the doatng mother my child
is saved from the jaws of death' and now say and
believe that, beyond all doubt, DR. Swayne's Conn
pound Syrup Of Wild Cherry is the most valuable
medicine in this any other country. am certain
I have witnessed more than one hundred cases Where
it has been attended with complete success ! am
using it myself in obstinate attack OF BronehstSs In
which it proved efcctual 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 il il is very pleasant and always beneficial
worth double and often ten times its price The
public are assured there is No quackery about it.
f'' r. JACKSON, DID.

No reasonable man, we think, will object to
the annexation Of Texas, whenever it can be cf-
fccled "wthout dishonor, without war, with the
common consent of the Union, and upon just aud
fair terms aud no true American should desire
it on any other conditions.
Now this is overwhelmingly amusing. But
a few weeks ago this same editor, with the whole
of his tribe, was ranling on his highest key,
against the annexation Of Texas under any cir
cumstances, quoting the writings Of wise and
learned men to show the danger of extending our
territory, denouncing the scheme Of annexation
as one got up with the sole view Of rcns,hcrlug
the institution of slavery, and of dissoIying the
Union and erecting southern republic, with ma

coons Of Springfield, Mass, at the time of the
great mass meeting Of the wings of western Mass

Thursday night the wings undertook TO
manufacture an omen, and if there is any
virtue in omens, we thank them for the
effort Two balloons, one named Hen

first was provided with every thing ne

The disappointed balloon at first ascen'

earth, and, just clearing the tower--halt-
ed momenl-iurned complete somcr-
set-righted, started on again, and went
up-up-.up. The petard exploded with
out dong it any sort of injury, and on it
went again, On-on--and up-up-till
lis course was higher, swilter and bright

fallen coons looked aghast to see the gal
liant Polk balloon with such odds and
plots against it, fairly out-stripping their
well conditioned favoriie; the impetuous
shouts which they had reserved TO hail
It's destruction all stuck in their throats;
and when they saw it still sailing on and
shining in the distance like bright par
ticular star they felt like the boy who
after sad personal calamity had not

The next time our wing friends under

careful not TO trust their trick to any of
