EXTRA SESsION-SLAyERY.

1t is believed that amidst the raging eIe-
ments Of disafecIion and distrust which now
prevail among the Democracy and the fiscal
difficulties TO be surmounied, congress will
not be able to do what the crisis demands
the present session, and that an Extra SEES
sion will becalIed. The stand taken by the
New York democracy that the conquered
territory shall be free, introduces new era
in our affairs. II has been well considered,
and will not be deserted. 1t was probably
decided upon at Albany, and will be a just
retaliation for the imolation OF Van Bu-
rem at Baltimore and The treachery of the
administration TO Wright during the last E.
lection in the state ofNew York.

Of this Balsam in Pulmonary diseases having natur-

composed principally Of simple substances. The
Moss Of Iceland, the Wild Cherry and Pine Of our

man Of high standing in that place:
Mr.. JOSEPH I, YoUNGLovE,-
Sir: As duty owe to the community,
and particularly to the afflicted, would state that
had been for number Of years laboring under
disease and weakness Of the lungs, which caused
me to cough great deal. and produced consequent
debility Of my system generally TO such degree,
that it was with difficulty Icould to do which
even for short distance, l experienced great fa-
tigue. Ihad various medicines recommended to
me, which used without any beneficial effects
whatever, until procured bottle of Wild Cherry.
The use of one bottle afforded relief, entirely re-
lieving me of cough, and restoring my lungs to
healthy action. The use Of il for short time in.
creased my general health and strength to such an
extent that Twas stronger and more healthy than
had been for years before. From the trial have
made of the medicine, can confidently recomend
it a, powerful tonic, acertain cure for affections
Of the lungs unless it be may in case Of Cpnsump-
ton, obstinate and long standing.
