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

HON. X. M. SAUNDERS LETTER.
Hon. G. A. WlcKLrrrE,
Postmaster General

WAsHINcTos, May 5th, 1874.
My DEAR Sir have seen, with pleasure, that
public meeting has been held by "tbe people of Meek
lenburg, composed of nearly equal number Of
Wings and Democrats, and adopted strong pream
BILE and resolutions in favor of ANNEXATION, with only
three or fur dissenting voices" ! am the more
grathed at this result both for the place from which
the proceedings came and from the fact that it shows
what are the real sentiments OF the People, unswayed
and uninhuenced by the arts and calculations Of the
political partisan. IT is such expression as
should have expected from the people Of that coun-
ty, where was first proclaimed the bold and daring
truth" That these Colonies are, and Of right ought
TO be, free and independent States" | regard this
quest Of the annexation Of Texas as the most i'm
portsnt and v,aly interesting of any since the
nuncaton of the great truth which made US an In
dependent Nation. This question Of Texas is no
longer one for speculation, but for action treaty
is now pending before the Senate for it's immediate
anne xaton to the United States. 1t is asked that
that portion Of the Executive branch of the Govern
ment shall by its ratification and approval, sanction
what the Chief Executive has already accomplished,
and what, as believe, majority of the Peoples
Representatives are prepared 10 sustain. In 1913,
this interesting territory acquired by Mr.. Jeer
son, in the Louisiana Treaty, from France. In 1919
it was, by strange and unsccountable bIundcr,
ceded by the United States TO Spain. And thus was
this noble acquisition Of Jefferson severed from our
country deprived of the blessings of free govern.
ment and thrown back into that wrelched condition
of colonial vassaloge which has since caused her de-
lightful plains to be dcuged with blood. In 1890,
after the ratification of this Inflated treaty. Mr. Clay
then Speaker in the House of Representatives, boldly
declared that, by the treaty making power the Pre-
,dent had no authority to cede any portion IF the
American soil. In 1925 this same Mr.. Clay then
Secretary of State under Mr.. Adams, who had not
then been unanimously rejected by the Southern
States,' sought in the most pressing terms, to
regain this interesting country. Again, in 1927,
he renewed the application to Mexico without
success. so, in 1929, General Jacksons Secretary,
Martin Van Buren,, made similar effort under an
offer of FIVE millions Of dollars with the result.
These offers were all made 70 Mexico although Their
had treaties sndng with Spain, end lcrs before the

the President in South Carolina Virginia, than the
opposition Of these twQgentemen.
To Col. Preston, for whom we have always been
disposed to entertain the kndest regard have only
to say that if he find anything amusing in the
anuunciation to the country of what he reports to be
fact that Mr. Tyler has tried all expedients in order
to get nomination, why then, only say, that
he himself and his auditors at the expense of
truth. The Government has been administered ex-
clusively, we believe for the benefit Of the coun-
try That Mr.. Tyler should desire the support of all
patriots, is both natural and proper but that he has
stopped from his high position in order to accomplish
this, is utterly untrue. So far from Mr.. Tylers be-
ing actuated by any improper motives, his whole de-
sire has been to vndicae his motives from all nju-
rious attacks.
The circumstance of his being before the country
rO,o, prominently connected with the Presidency, is
more owing to the good friends Of Col Preston, who
composed Gen. Harrson's Cabinet than to any thing
else. The President submitted to them, in a So
lemn FORM the question whether he should renounce
all connection with the Presidency, upon sending in
his second veto Of the Bank and Col. Preston must
be aware that they unanimously advised against it,
His friends them have kept the President before the
country, and the People are taking it up in good
earnest, and when the Democracy of the Union shall
make its full rally with Tyler, Texas, and the vetoes
against Clay, Van Buren,, and England, tell both
Mr. Leigh and COL Preston that their federal cohorts
will tremble throughout all their ranks.
Will Col. Preston amuse the country by siding with
the opposition to Texas;" We shall see.

This was in November last. The Special Agents
Of the Department, ever on the alert, Immediately
commenced and Ierseveringly continued system

such evidence and authority he could procure upon

ONE WORD TO SENATOR'S.

We would respectfully predict that such q tide of
popular favor has rarely been commanded by any
measure of the National Government az will speed.
ly attach to the Treaty Of Annexation, now before
the Senate. Fifty days will suffice to rouse up the
entire People Of the Union in its behalf and we
would warn those who aspire to positions of dignity
and power, in the future, not to leap without first
looking to see where they will land.
Many evidences of the peoples will" arc neces-
sarily crowded out to-day. Tomorrow we shall
commence "the beginning of the end"
