The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1844-10-18

Singular cure for cOaSumptiOn.-The
Naichez Free Trader mentions case of
4 man who came there a few years since
in far gone consumption, and who, by
abslaining from ,cater, meat and fluids,
has become TO be powerful and robust
man on such slim fare.
1t is not impossible, says the Newbu-
ryport Herald that the above may have
been case of real cure of that dreadful
disease. OF the efficacy of entire absii-
hence from fluids Of every kind in curing
ordinary coughs and colds, we have been
assured by physicians who have tried it,
A common cold may be cured in three
days by an entire disuse Of fluids.
Dry Times. -For three weeks we
have had no rain in this city and vicinity
excepting that enjoyed by our Bristol and
Pennington friends Yesterday. Grass
lands are almost dried up. In one por-
ton Of our State we understand the Far
mers have been compelled to commence
feeding out Hay to ;!.-ir stock. The va
ter in tho Connecticut River is extremely
Iow--so much so tina, it does not fill more
than one half It's bed. The bottom of the
ricer is quite dusfy. If any one does not
believe it, Capt. Hoyt Of tho Steamer
Phoenix says he will convince the most
incredulous, if such an one will take
passage with him. Dry times indeed -

Mir Polk is said 10 have received the intelligence
Of his victory with as much grace, as Mr. Clay erhi-
bited on account Of his defeat The Columbia DE
mocrat' Of the goth November states that, on the
10Th =" a large number of the military and large
of citizens in general repaired TO the
dence of Governor Polk, where they gave him a most
cordial and hearty sslutstion. Barclay Marin, Esq.
called upon by the assemblage for speech he
responded IN brief but eloquent address in which
he answered very satisfactorily the interrogatory SO
often asked during the contest" Vho is James H.
PoH ~ Mr. Martin concluded his remarks BY intro
ducng TO the audience, the President elect fthe I'M,

ia his usual happy and effective style. His remarks
were brief but appropriate and full Of true eloquence
and received with the most enthusiastic cheer
ing by the people present
At night the town was beautifully illuminated in
consequence Of the glorious victory the Democracy
have recently won-and IN consequence Of the pro-
motion TO the first office in the Republic Of our own

thst Annexation would not be opposed by the Wings
Of the South still more remarkable revelation Is
in the New York Courier. Ii furnishes some pressing
arguments in favor of the measure. Among these
are the following;
" In support Of these views, We have endeavored to
show that Texas necessary TO the commerce OF the
United States, because 10 twenty years she may grow
sufficient cotton TO our own great staple TO be
excluded from European ports, unless abandon
our Tariff For the same reason, the possession oil
Texas is important for the protection Of the Interests
OF the cotton growing States and finally, the whole
country is deeply interested in reobtaining what was
once ours, because country can be permanently
prosperous that has not foreign, as well a home
market for its produce--without which, there be
no commerce, and commerce being absolutely neces-
sary for the civilization, the happiness and the pros
perty of great people. While these the promi-
nent reasons with us, in favor Of the Annexation OF
Texas at the proper time, there is other Of which
we have lost sight, and which is very little I'M
derstood AS the friend of the slape, desire to
see Texas admitted TO the Union and never did Mr..
Clay place on record greater truth, than when he
wrote that, the question of Annexation had nothing
to do with slavery"

The Swiss BELL RNGERs--These extraordinary
Of the Union, through the aitering terms in which
the Press has, in every instance, spoken of them,
make their first appearance in this city tomorrow
"wednesday evening" and, from the great number
of arrivals and the crowded state Of all hotels,
we anticipate a full and fashionable attendance. -
From all we have read and heard concerning them,
their performances must be truly astonishing; and
we presume that the Assembly rooms will be array
ed with all the beauty of the city during their stay
here, which must of necessity be brief, they are
engaged and must shortly appear in New Orleans.

iained and proclaimed by Mr. Tyler, who was
supported by the Wings in 1910, under The vain
superstition that they could induce him to aban-
don them afterwards Is not such glorious
result an additional inducement for every Re-
publican TO adhere still more uncompromisingly
to his principles And is il not an earnest that
the body polite will never submit TO Wing pre-
scriptions
Surely no President was ever blessed with a
more glorious close of his Administration, than
President Tyler. The wisdom of his policy
of all his enemies and prosecutors, has been
emphatically pronounced by the People.

From the Richmond ENQUIRER

The Wings, though they were not able to defeat
Mr.. Polk, are yet determined TO manufacture bic
Cabinet They must have some finger in the pie
and accordingly casting, ever and anon the Dra-
mails PersonG Of his council. They might well
drop the character of Manager at once. None Of Mr.
Pok's friends yet behind the curtain, far as
we are advised. We doubt even whether that gem
tlemsn knows yet Of single Secretary, who is to
enter his Cabinet. We clear at all events for his
pleasing himsef-without regard to any considera-
tons which may be supposed by the knowing
TO trammel his selection. We have strong and de-
termincd opposition TO encounter-and we should
permit Mr.. Polk to take the best advisers he can OBJ
tain, without either impairment Interference or cap
tious opposition. We must cling all together, in any
event-orgsnlze as far we prudenty can-and pre-
cent Determined front to politicians, who seem de-
termined to allow us neither permanent peace, nor
even temporary truce.
The Wings do not recoect that the more violent
they are, the more determined we become. The
constant sound OF their clarion is not lost upon US
Every fresh blast of their buge is sufficient TO diss
pate little Differences and to unite to each other
with hooks Of steel.

TEXAS.
From The RichmouI

from inc fsicHH'onn Bhqurns
Should we lose Texas, the responsibility will be
on the heads Of those who have rejected the Treaty
Blu, we do not believe in such a result We must
now strike boldly for acquisition. The election Of
Mr.. Polk will cheer up our friends there, and
counteract Mr.. Arson Jones, If he should have
changed his views. The President we presume,
will speak in strong language in his Annual Message.
We trust not week will elapse, before resolution
will be brought into the House Of Representatives to
report bill for its Annexation II the measure can
be passed under MIR. Tyler's Administration, we
should hail il with pleasure. Let the glory all III
TO him. Signs are sfoat, which seem TO indicate,
that the Wings consider the late election, as the ell
ponen Of the will Of the people, in favor Of the An.
nexstion, and some Of them may even be disposed Ia
give the credit Of the act TO MIR Tyler instead OF
to Mr. Polk. We certainly would not object to y
notion of this description, however csprcious il might
appear, which should rebound to The prosperity Of
our country. We have remarked with our brethren
some Of the Wing signs Of the times. They incline
more in favor Of Texas than before the election
