viding for the termination Of the Convention OF
1927 between The Governments of The United
States and Great Britain concerning the Terrific

through the public press 10 all OF these numerous
communications, by saying, that thTee-iourihs OF
the Democratic members OF the General AS,
sembly are in favor Of giving The notice and
from the best information | have received from
all portions Of the State, eighteen out OF every
twenty of the Democratic party in Virginia July
coincide with President Polk in his noble, pa
uio,ic and elevated views on this great Ameri-
can "a. slion. The Democracy OF Virginia con,
slider the giving OF The notice as a great national
question, and as the best means OF preserving Inc
peace of The country. They also consider, that
as England has extended her laws over that por-

the duty OF The American Government 10 protect
her citizens on American soil, even though II be

reasonable proposition. Our columns are re-

which can interest only a very few, and which
necessarily exclude much tina, might engage the
attention Of the general reader. In this respect,
we think a reform might properly be adopted by
the Editorial craft;

formed for the purpose of establishing a London

dinsy.looking sheet; but as il possessed talents,
which forced it into notice, il soon attracted pub

power and influence. The property is, al The pre-

which sixteen belong 10 MIR. John Walter. The
political opinions of the journal are directed by
the majority of votes on The part OF The share
holders; and thus, as Mr.. Waller possesses two
thirds OF the entire property, his voice alone con-
trolls the bias Of the journal.

her wedding portion, the profits OF the first column

one, and is, in every sense of The phrase, a ready
money concern. Every notice of a death or a
marriage is charged dior ,o57 tn ,s s'% ,bsn . auppu sS;I.

1t is unnecessary to describe the properties OF
the ingredients of medicine SO well known
not only by medical men, but to the most COM

years. DR. Crichton an eminent Physician oil
Petersburgh, highly recommends treatment
in whch they are principally employed. They
are the remedies employed by the celebrate ed
DR. Cooper, who during IL years extensive prac-
tics in Consumption and Pulmonary diseases did
not lose one single patient, may be seen by
reference to statement to that effect published
by him a short time since. If the simple articles
in their crude state are so powerful and efica-
cious, how much more valuable must they moi
be when chemically concentrated and combined
We might go on and refer to hundreds of the
