We observe that the IS National Inelgencer y
OF this morning has taken occasion to collect and
republish, from several journals articles inclininp
more or less to the British view of the Oregon
question. One Of these articles, characterized by
the Intelligencer" as "grave and timely" ven
lures on the desperate and monstrous assertion,
that To all the territory Of Oregon north of 49',
The claim Of England is better than our o,on
Can be that the author of such opinion living
on this side of the Atlantic, has ever looked into
the merits of the question at all?
But the whole spirit Of these articles, quoted
and endorsed by the In,elligencer, is plain enough
tor HIM who runs to read it. IL Is the same spirit
which fought its ground inch by inch-calling to
lis aid all the articles and all the passions of par
ty warfare-aganst the cause of free government
In Texas, when, to secure such government
with all the blessings that should attend it, Texas
applied for admission into the American Union
l, is the same spirit that revled the administra
for protecting Texas, after its annexation, up to
the Del Nore " 1t is the spirit which is ever
prompt on any question between America and
England, to cry out 1.-The claim of England is
better than our own" 1t is the spirit, let us add
which the whole democratic party of this country
is ready, as one man. TO oppose. This spirit will
meet, as we believe, "grave and timely" re-
buke at the hands Of Congress in its approaching
session. Union.

Harry Simpson never would take any medicine ;
and his medical man was often obliged to resort to
some stratagem to irspuse dose upon him.
There is play do not recollect the name-in
which the hero is sentenced in prison. to drink y
cup OF poison. Harry Simpson was playing this
character enc night and had given directions to
have it filled with sweet wine; but what was his
horror, when he came to drink it, to find it con
!aiued dose of SIENNA He could not throw it
out, as he had to hold the goblet upside down, to
show his prosecutors he had drank every drop OF
it. Simpson drank the medicine with the slow
ness of a poisoned martyr; but he never forgave
his medical man this trick, was fully proved at
his death, for he died without paying him his
bill

times voracious appetite, are among the symp

pearance, applied to DR.. Ryan corner of Bowery
and Prince street, for advice. After relating his
symptoms, the Doctor told him he had worms, and
he could cure him. The man shook his head, and
said it was impossible. He gave him a box of
Sherman's Worm Lozenges with directions how
to take them. In three days he returned and said
he felt like new being-that the first dose bro't
away a tape worm 20 or so feet long, and the Sec
ond dose brought away about % feet more Thus
two doses of Sherman's Worm Lozenges effects
cure, where the combined skill of our best physi-
clans could afford no relief Although but few
months have elapsed, he is now as fat and hearty
as he ever was in his life. After years of misery
swallowing enormous quantities of medicine, and
spending hundreds of dollars without benefit, he
was cured by only one box OF Sherman's Worm
Lozenges.
