AUTUMN.

allow sweedy pass your years.
How soon their night comes on,
A train OF hopes and fears,
And human life is gone;
See the fair summer now is pass'd;
The foliage late that clad the trees,
Stripped by the equinoctial blast,
Falls like the dew drops in the breeze
Cold winter hastens on,
Fair Nature feels his grasp,
Weeps ocr-all her beauties gone,
And signs their glores past,
so, Lie, thy summer soon will end,
Thine autumn too, will quick decay,
And winter come, when thou shalt bent
Within the tomb to mould away,

Wild Cherry bark and Tar have indeed,

Messrs, Curtis & Smith
Gents:-l became acquainted with tn c
virtues Of Downs Elixir many years ago
aud have USED it in my family ever since,
having always found it safe and e(ica.
cious remldy for all ofthe diseases for which
it is recommended. When my children had
the whoopng cough, We administered it to
them with the happiest effects. 1t mitiga-
ed the force Of that distressing complaint,
and rendered it light and Of short continu-
ance. One night woke up with tick
ling in my throat and commenced cough
ing VIOLENTLY struggled in vain TO sup
press the cough, which was incessant and
unremittng. Dsparing Of relief or re.
pose, got up and took tea spooful of
Downs Elixir, which instantly aIlayed the
irrtation-,he cough did not return and |
slept soundly until morning. In cases Of
colds, coughs, and Inflammation Of the
throat, to which | am subject, have al
ways found it to alay irritation and relieve
a cough with speed and certainty.
1t is impossible to estimate the advan-
tages derived from the Elixir in Ike hume
rous families who, approaching its virtues,
have brought it into use.
Yours truly.

A THOUGHT ON TEXAS AND SLAVERY.
At the adoption of the Constitution the South
ern States did not ask of the Northern, as terms Of
compromise, that four-fiths OF all the United States
officers should be appointed from among sovehold-
crs nor that Congress, as soon as able, should
build several huge prisons at their Capitol for a
slave market-nor thutan extensive coast wise and
inter state slave trade should be actively carried on
without complaint from the North--nor that nctC
or foreign States with pro-slavery constitutions
should be admitted into the original firm at the OPP
ton Of the South and TO the prejudice Of the North
1t is on account Of the practical but unconsiitu-
tiondL assumption of these claims that we have
son to protest We do not complain OF the South
ern States for the existence of domestic slavery
mong them at the time Of the Federal Union; nor
should we have disturbed our brethren at the South
by complaining of the injustice of the hrce-ffHS
representation, had the South let their slavery as
it was remain "in statu quo" without increasing
the evil but when these marked, and unanticpa-
ted claims and encroachments are made by the
South, and the climax of their contamination about
to be effected by the annexation Of Texas through
the weight of Executive influence we feel bound
in candur to protest.
While with raternal kindness we acknowledge
the concession Of the compromise, as originally
made, we deem it our duty, with patriotic frmness
to oppose any attempt to introduce foreign territory
into the Union for the purpose Of officially adopt
ing slavery as national institution, taken under
the fostering auspices Of our General Government.

while two years ago there were but two anthracite

We have additional returns from this State, which
seem to leave hardly a room to doubt the triumph

signal victory. So far as heard from, the Wings
have gained in every county, excepting only the
