The Vegetable Pulmonary Dalsam has now been very
extensively used Tor the past twenty years, nnd probably
with grcnicr success than any other article known An
nrNcd We make few eSIrncs from certificates ofphy-

Physicians write IN TINT "thcy consider II safe and

enable expectations Of those who Use IT,"
Another BuNS " have for some time past, been IL the
habit OF prescribing the Vegetable Pulmonary Bulsan for
consumption asthma, peuri'y, splitting of blood, una
coughs, or pulmonary affections Olcvery kind; and with
confidence recommend II aS superior to any other prepar
alton used for the above mplninls.n
A gentleman writes us "tllat his physician, who Is in
the constant habit of prescribing II IN AL complaints OF
the lungs, recommended him to make Trial fit, amer he
hui consulted several physicians whohad despaired Ofhis
recovery from ascvcre affection of the lungs, and that on
using it, the benefit he derived from IL WAS SUCH that sew
cru other yscnns who attended upon him stated that
they were fully satisfied that IL was the best remedy he
could use.n
Another writes us "tha his wife, who has been trouh-
led with the phhsc, and hus been under the OF sew
eu eminent yscns for upwards Of thirty years, with
ont having been but little benefited, obtained immediate
relief on using it, She has now used II upwards Of two

As we have already stated, the audience was
the most brilliant and magnificent, in every res

season--even more so than the first night The
whole house was full the corridors we're well

THE Posi- OFFIcE-Mr. Polk, in his mes
sage, seems quite delighted with the idea that
Cave Johnson, by his management, has made
the Department pay its own expenses. But look
at the sacrifices Look at the hundreds and hun
dreds of failures, and the arrangement of all
the foreign mails The American people don't
care about few hundred thousand dollars, nor
even few millions, provided they can have their
basiness done with promptitude, fidelity, deci-
sion and accuracy. Our domestic mails could
not have been worse managed than they have
been during the last year. The number of
failures has been enormous; and as to the TO-
reign mails, we all know what they are.
II may be alleged, however, that the arrange
ment Of the foreign mails lies with foreign go
vernments, and that the arrangements are ow-
ing to the obstinacy of these governments. But
when Cave Johnson turned his attention to the
organization of ocean steamers and foreign mails,
he ought to have preceded his arrangements
with the necessary and proper negotiations, in
order to secure success and regularity, as soon
as these steamers began to run. Instead, how
ever, of doing this, he paid attention to these
foreign negotiations in relation to hostages; but
alter his blunderings were made apparent, then
for the first time he sent out Major Hobby to
mend and repair his errors, with, however, little
II any prospect Of success.
We adhere to our opinion, that he is the most
llliberal-the most narrow-minded and the most
laundering Postmaster General, that has ever
been inflicted upon the Department. We cannot
endorse his character as Postmaster, as Mr..
Folk mas done but we think he would make
capital Shylock in Wall street.

MAILS FOR EUROPE -THE PREsIDENr's MIS-
SAGE The new clipper ship Memnon, Captain
BENJAMIN, built few months since tor the East
India trade, will sail for Liverpool this morning,
at balf.past ten o'clock. She is a magnificent
vessel, designed expressly to sail, and as she has
seven days start of the steamer, with the favora-
BILE winds prevailing, her passage will undoubt-
eddy be short one, thereby offering fine oppor-
tunity to merchants and others, for the convey
ance Of letters and parcels. She will be the
first, in all probability, to take the Presidents
message to England. Persons wishing to send,
can have them in wrappers at an early hour.
The ship lies at the foot of Rutgers street, where
letters and papers will be received up to the
mo,aent of her departure.

TIKI MESSAGE AeArN.-We have read over
this document again and again, in order to adj
mire it beyond any thing we ever felt towards
message; but we must confess that we can't
bring ourselves up to the highest point of admit
ration al all.
The materials are brilliant, we admit; but the
production itself is extremely lame, ungramma-
teal, badly worded, full of repetition, loosely
put together, aud presents no condensed views,
statements, or ideas. 1t is the worst written
message that ever came from Mr.. Folks hands.
Why it is so, is beyond all comprehension, unless
it arises from the oppression occasioned to his
mind by the magnitude and sublimity of the ma
terlals before him. In our estimation, it is COM
mon place and common rate although it contains
useful information, but thing that has not been
discussed in the independent newspapers for
months before. Oaly on one point does it show
any brightness or decision of character, and that
is in the recommendation to form civil govern
ment in New Mexico and California.
The proposition to Congress to create a civil
government in those territories is decisive and
particular, and will at once bring up all the i'm
material and subsidiary issues which have here
tofore created 60 much talk throughout the coun-
try 1t will present to Congress at once, the Will
mot proviso. The proposition, in itself, is just
aid proper. There is no use in delaying any Ion
ger, out of delicacy towards M xico Let us
TAX the matter into our own hands-let us take
indemnity for the past at once, by taking posses
sion of California and New Mexico, and security
for the future by holding on to the rest of Mexi-
CO, till the people Of that country come to their
senses, and organise permanent government
If they cannot organise a permanent govern
ment, why, then, the whole of that republic will
fall on our hands, like waif ON the ocean, for
better or for worse.
In the meantime, we approve of the PROPOSE
ton of organising civil government In New
Mexico and California; and it is full time, too,
that something should be done in Oregon,
of the same kind. While we approve of a
great many recommendations in the message, we
must still withhold any admiration for Its COM
position, its construction, its wording, or it's
general arrangement of topics. In fact, the tele-
graphic condensation, imperfect as 1t wSs, SEEM
ed to be better written production than the real
document itself.
CURIOUS FAcrs.--In. looking over the esti-
mates for the appropriations necessary for carry
ing on the operations of government, laid before
Congress by the Secretary of the Treasury, we
find the following curious factss The total num-
Der of lamps in the light house establishment OF
the United States, is 2976.
The cost Of bringing to the seat of government
the votes for President and Vice President, is
he round sum of $4,000. 1t might be done fol
$500.
Our intercourse with foreign nations, costs
$313,O 900, which is made up as follows;-
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1847-12-09

The proposed amount Tor making medals for
Indian Chiefs, is $43l 95.
The following Is a curious estimate of the pro-
bable amount that will be required to subsist the
regular army and volunteers in the service of
the Uoitcd States, from July l., ls4s, to June 80,
l849:-
