DERMIT me to take the liberty of writing to you
i 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 Frunus 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, Wheeling, 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 instrumental in restoring
to perfect health an "only child" whose case was
almost hopeless, in family Of my acquaintance ~
thank Heaven" said the doatlng MOTHER tiny child
is saved from the jaws Of death!" and now say and
believe that, beyond all doubt, DR. Swayne's Com
pound Syrup Of Wild Cherry is the most valuable
medicine in this any other country am certain
have witnessed more than one hundred cases where
it has been attended with complete success. | am
using it myself in obstinate attack of Bronchitis 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 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.

Corrections.

It may he remembered by some of our readers
that in our paper OF the ooh Jan, we gave, from
another paper, two extracts, one from letter Of
Mr.. Clay to Mes-rs. Bauham aud Bed;oc, aud
the other from letter Of his to Mr. Mcriwcather,
in the former of which he is made to say - voted
Tor the tariff of 1876, 1924, aud 1892 :" and in the
latter, "You are right so far as the record is con-
ccrncd, in your statement that did not vote for
tho tarih'in 1916 and ls2i' 1t is due to MIR.
Clay, to justice, aud to truth, to state that in the
lcucrs from which these extracts were taken, there
! il, in reality noconludicliou. The matter is thus
explained by the New York Tnbunc; In 1916
aul 1884 Mr.. Clay was speaker Of the house, and
consequently did not vote upon the final passage
Of the bills, although their friend aud supporter.
In letter from Mr.. Mcuiwcalhcr, Mr.. Clay was
rcmlndcd that his namc did not appear on The
journal as friend Of the tariff to which he replied
'iou arc right so far as the record is concerned,
that did not vote for the tariff Of lSlG and 1924,
but supported their principles, aud admitted that
Twas in favor Of them" The latter par, of the
sentence having been Topped of in the extracts
quoted, the meaning of Mr. Clay was perverted,
to his injury, aud the shame of the man who thus
garfield it. 1t is true. the statement he made in
his letter TO Branham aud Bledsoe, that he voted
.or these tariff acts looks little inconsistent, but
as he was their friend. he may have stated that he
voted lor them, without an intention TO misrc-
| present.
! We make tins correction, not only as an Nc
Of justice to Mr., Clay, but for the additiona
reason that we do not believe a cause, good in it.

WAsHINGruN, Feb. Z.
MesgS EiiiorS-You are doubtless anxious TO
know what the prospect is for additional arpro-
pra,ions for the public Improvements in Illinois.
You are probably aware that bill f,r an adinlo-
nal appropriation # land f,r our canal, has been
introduced in the house by oar irdasi,i us and
useful member. Col. Wentworth. Anu,hef has
been introduced by Judge scny!e in the senate
They have strong hoIcs Of CARRYING them, but |
have some fars Tor their succ,-.. Il would be
very desirable to obtain this appropriation II pos
sible because it would r.evr tie stale nl the pay
ment Of 80 much ol ~ puhIic Il b;. il The present
canal property should prove sufficient 10 pay the
canal debt, this donation would then help to pay
the internal improvement debt.
By the indcialigabe exertons OF our members,
they have induced the committee on commerce to
repor, bill for the improvement OF the Illinois
river. This Is u very important consideration,
and one only second to the completion Of the ca
nal Without'this, our canal would net DC at all
times what we desire it, viz: thoroughare tor
all classes Of boats between our lakes and the
Mississippi. Judge Douglass deserves the lasting
gratitude of the citizens of Illinois for his zeal aud
untiring efforts Ia obtain the passage Of this mea-
sure. Ifit fails we may rest assured that all has
been done to procure its passage that human eA-
eron could do.
The lake improvements, in which VT al have
such deep interest, and our canal measures are
al! safe in the hands Of Col. eutworh. There
is not member Of congress who labN' harder
and with more untiring perseverance. than our
representative from the canal district. lie has al

and only aims to exercise it in promotiu; the wei

have observed with regret, that occa-
sions have been presented, for disturbing
the peace of your county; and II | knew
wha, could legally do 10 apply correc.
tive, would be very ready TO do ii. But
if YOU are lawyer, or at all conversant
with the law, you will know that as a
Governor have no right 10 interfere in
your difficulties.
As vet, | believe. lha, there has been
nothing like war among you; and hope
that all Of you, will have the good sense
to see the necessity of preserving peace.
If there is any thing wrong in the Nauvoo
charters, or in the mode of administering
them, YOU will see that nothing short OF
Legislative or judicial power is capable Of
enforcing a remedy. | myself had the
honor of calling the attention OF the legls-
laturc to tins subjec, at the last session;
but large majority of both political par
ties in lha, body, either did not see the
evil which you complain of; or If they
did they repeatedly refused to correct II,
And yet u call is made upon me to do that
which all parties refused to do al the last
session. have also been called upon to
take away the arms from the Mormons
to raise the militia to arrest Il supposed
fugitive; and in fact TO repeal some OF
the ordinances of the city of Nauvoo.
Hancock county is Justly famed for It's M
telligence; aud cannot believe that any
Of us citizens are so ignorant as not To
know that have no power TO Go these
things. The absurd aud preposterous
