Both branches Of Congress, during the las!
week, have been engaged in the discussion of the
great measure Of the west-lho graduation bill.
1t passed the Senate with Mr.. Calhouns amsnd-
Inon, which certainly rendered it less satisfactory
to western men. But still a great point was
gained ~ reducing the InIlfRtren, lands ID price
which would enable the poorest man 10 purchase
a home. 1t indeed Justly regarded US one Of
the great measures of the admiulsrat on, without
which the tariff could not have passed the House
of Representatives. In the House you will sce

by majority OF only one vote. The success Of
the bill Is now exceedingly doubtful. Those near
contests, IN important measures, sh.w the great

deserving their posts, tor any cause. A measure
might thus be lost, Of far more important TO the
Unod States. than the Mexican war itself. Let
us take the Tariff for example. The passage OF
the prescn, bill, abolshing the oduus principle Of
taxing the whole for the benefit Of the few, is
measure of more importance 10 the whole people
of the United States, thar, any other ever before
our Congress. 1t is now universally conceded,
that tho democratic pa rty cannot expect mere

In addition to the benign influence the Lotion ex-

no less valuable in similar complaints to which in
ferior animals are subject, particularly the Horse.
In some cases. where it has been applied to this fine
creature for slight INJURIES it has, in addition to an
almost instantaneous cure, given apparently new
animation, to such extent that in various in
stances the winning of race has been tenaciously
ascribed to its stimulating and happy effects
The Lotion is composed entirely of the medicinal
properties of vegetable substances concentrated and
rendered most pure by distillaon and other chemi-
cal processes AS an inward medicine, it is of the
most innocent, wholesome, stimulating and cheer
ing character, and will expel, instantly, those dull
heavy and hypochondriaca feelings to which many
are SO subject, and give life and animation to both
body and mind. VIM. @. FORCE,

MR. EDITOR: Last night. about half-past
IL O'Clock, fire broke out in the large three
story frame building on the northeast corner
OF King and Union streets, occupied by MIR.
John Tatsapaugh as dwelling house and
clothing store. The building and its contents
were entirely consumed, and believe the fam
lily barely escaped with their lives. BY the
most arduous exertion on the part of our gal
liant fFemen, the grocery store Of Mr.. t., in
the rear Of the main building, on Union street
and Fayette alley, with all its contents, were
saved, as were all the other surrounding build
ings, some of which were in most imminent
danger The three story brick warehouse on
the northeast corner, owned by S. B. Lar
mont, Esq, and occupied by John r. B. Perry
as grocery store, had its doors and windows
much scorched by the intensity of the heat,
and nearly all the glass in the latter was
broken. The leather establishment of Mr.. C.
G. Smoot, on the southeast corner, was also
on fire, but was saved by the timely exertions
of the firemen, to whom too much credit can
not be given for their alacrity and persever-
ance. Much drunkenness ensued, as mat
ter Of course, but was pleased to see coffee
in large quantities handed round, and that
most of our citizens, as soon as the danger
was over, returned quietly TO their homes,
without partaking of the fiery stimulus which
was dealt out prolusely in the neighborhood
Of the fire. L.

Mr.. EDITOR: Allow me to call the attention
OF temperance men and the community at
large to the fact that an association has been
formed IN this city, for the purpose Of dissem-
mating the divine results oftotal abstinence, by
the publication and free distribution Of tempe
rance tracts and papers, and, believing that
this association is one from which great good
will result, sincerely and earnestly hope that
it will receive the fostering care Of all tempe
| rance men.
attended meeting of the ''Union Tempe
rance Tract Association" few evenings since,
and was agreeably surprised to find large
and enthusiastic number of citizens, ministers
Of the Gospel, and several strangers of distinc-
tion, among whom were three chiefs of the
Seneca Indians. There was more of the true
beneyolence of temperance displayed than |
have witnessed for long time. The Rev. Mr.
Tuston, an earnest and able advocate in the
cause, presented the association with thou
sand well written tracts, showing the evils of
intemperance, and the greater contrast of total
abstinence. was much pleased TO see that
the Rev. gentlemen took such an active part
in the cause. The influence Of such men can
not be estimated. hope that all ministers of
the Gospel will take as active stand.
Allow me here, Mr.. Editor, to mention that
the praise of temperance men generally, is due
TO these ministers of the Christian church who
have attended their meetings, in doors and out
of doors. allude to the Rev. f. S. Evans, the
Rev. Charles Davis, the Rev. U. Ward, and
others who have thus advocated the cause.
am happy TO hear that the Rev. Mr. Slicer
is coming among us again, he is whole- souled
advocate Of total abstinence, and hope will be
the means ofreclaiming many Of the wayward.
was also gratifed at the meeting to see
such liberal spirit displayed. A number of
citizens contributed largely to this Object
When such men as Messrs Owens, Hen shaw,
Seby Parker, and others who belong to this
association undertake so good work, you are
aware, Mr.. Editor, that their efforts will not be
unavailable. G. G. b.
