THE Gour AND RHEUMATISM.

This disease, so long considered to be incurable,
is believed now 10 be comprised by medicine
which has recently been discovered by Mr.. Cow
or, of Nashville, Tennessee. A gentleman Of this
city, of high responsibility, has given information
upon this subject, which, with his permission, we
publish for the benefit of those who are afflicted
He says that for the past four five years, he has
been troubled with this complaint, at intervals OF
two or three months, until last November, being
at Nashville he induced to engage this gentle
man (not professional one) to visit him. BY APP
plication TO his foot Of wash, he was in twenty
minutes relieved Of pain; and with The medicine
given to him, and this wash, he was IN two days
able TO walk about. The doctor said To him, he
would have the govt no more. Nor has he had it
since it being now more than twelve months. Cow
er himself had suffered with govt for six or seven
years, during which time he had used colchicum
without benefit; when, assuming this medicine as
the basis of his composition, he added thereto
tain roots and herbs from the Forest until he sue
ceeded in the present preparation which effectuay
cured him. Thus, said he, "celchcum makes one
third Of the preparations; the rest is of roots and
herbs, known only to myselfn
The medicine is used now by the gentleman we
conversed with, only when any changes Of the
weather take place. He then takes about fifteen
drops. No other taste than wine pertains to it,
No change in living is required, except to be mod
crate in Diet and to forbear the of madeira, and
other acid wines and drinks. The preparation has
a mild action on the kidneys and bowels.
We understand that II is alike eficacious in
rheumatism.

DEAR SIR: Our good friend, the editor OF the New
York Globe, not unfrequently--nay, very frequently
makes some well-timed suggestions, and Judiclous
OBJ ervations upon men and things. As the man says
in the play; 1--WE may he wrong, bur that's our
opinion" For. example: allowing each and every
member Of the great democratic body TO enjoy h's
own peculiar ideas, is his unquestoned right, we
entertain the idea, that among the names OF the
members Of Congress mentioned, "all the country
drought in connection with the very important and
highly honorable post of Speaker, the name Of VII
liam b. .Maciay Of New York, ought OF right to
command, and viii most certainly command, prop
err and just confederation ia the minds Of his coli
leagues. A variety Of reasons are forced upon the
attention Of those whose provinces Il will be 10 dis
cuss and settle the question: and at the present time,
we cannot do more acceptable service, or forward
more advaniageousy praiseworthy ambition, than
by calling attention, for the moment, 10 the article
on this subject published in the New York Globe.
The time is quite at hand when this question Is TO
be mooted; every democrat has his iavoritc cand-
date,-and having one Of our own, would ask you
to help us in giving him what Major Jones calls "a
hyst-and this too, without the slightest "dispar-
asement" to any ono or all ofNthe other honorable
candidates.
Yours, very truly,

The OREGON QUESTION. We copy to-day from
the Washington Union one of two very able and
significant articles that have appeared in that journal
on this absorbing topic. The firm and unyieding
position Of the government organ is that which was
taken in the inaugural address of President Polk
and that will beyond question, be maintained in
his annual message to Congress.
That the great mass of the people are with our
democratic chief magistrate ON this question, the
result Of recent elections and the popular emotion
most alearly indicate. We cannot doubt but the
administration will maintain it's truly just and re.
publican stand on this question, nor do Is doub.
but it will be emphacally sustained by the people.
