Resolved, That we accord to the Army and
NAVY the merit of achievements which would
have honored the heroes of any land or time;
and for their vigorous daring and highly sue

for conducting the war in Mexico, we yield
them honor equal to the measure of our abb

Resolved, That while the part taken by the
Executive in originating the war without the
Knowledge of Congress, and the apparent
unrighteous purpose for which it was under
TAKEN call for severe apprehension, we pledge
him hearty approval in every wise mea-
sure tending to a speedy and honorable
peace.
Resolved That it is with nations rs with
individuals, better to suffer wrong than to do
wrong; that the true policy of the American
Republic is PEACE, and that war should
never be resorted 10 except as means of self
defence.
Dissolved, That we regard Slavery as the
most dangerous element existing in the ma

or extend; and therefore that our alternative

Pulmonary Consumption. From its having
almost always baflled the most skillful medi-
cal treatment, has very justly been termed the
"OpPrOJrium ofPhysicianS;" and, until with
in few years, been generally considered IN
curG6te, although many medical men Of the
highest standing, among whom we may men
ton LdnReS and his friend Bayie--both distin-
gushed authors, admit that this much dread
ed disease may be cured, even in its advanced
stages, when the lungs are not Completely dis
organized. The remedy which we now offer,
Visitors Balsnm ofWld Cherry, for the cure
or this disease, not only emapates from reg
nlar Physician, but also has been well tested
IN all the complaints for which it is recon-
monded. 1t is not my intention, therefore,
cilher TO cloak IL in mystery, or in any way
deceive the public by oyerrating its virtues; on
the contrary, shall simply endcavor to give
bret statement of its usefulness; and flat
ter myself that its surprising efficacy will en-
able me to furnish such proofs Of it's virtues
as w'll satisfy the most incredulous, that Con-
sumption may and e'CAN BE CURED, if
this medicine be resortcd to in time.

WHAT THEY DIDN'T DO. The Legislature
Of New Hampshire, says the Nashua Tele-

good deal left that they did not do. They

GEN. PnLow-MoRE GENERALsHIP. We

to Join Gen. Scott, selected the middle of the

The dread of even old soldiers. The sand
between Vera Cruz and San Juan is over anl-
lie deep, and the rays of the sun at midday
are terrific. The result of this experiment
upon raw recruits was the death of six men,
who were sun struck, and the disabling of
near hundred and fifty more. At San Ju-
an so many of the troops were used up, that
1t was proposed to send them back to Santa
re, and establish hospital there. After
consultation, and as there was not adequate
force to protect such hospital, it was deci-
ded 10 send the men back to Vera Cruz. The
Vera Cruz Eagle of the 23d ult., says that
some thirty of them had then reached there.

Mr.. F. Brown, Dear Sir; I am much graft
fed in having am opportunity TO announce to
you, that by the use of three bottles of your
Sarsaparilla and Tomato Bitters, / have been,
from state of general debility and decline,
and continual suffering, restored TO the enjoy
mcnt of good health. For number of wears
have been troubled with the Liver Complaint,
badly at times, as to prevent my attending
to business, and Dyspepsia followed, with loss
of appetite, weakness and debility, and sink
ing and oppressive sensation Mt the stomach,
most painful and distressing, which gradually
decreased my strength, and led me into n de-
cline, and debilitated me so much as TO occa-
sion fears for my recovery while in this stu
alton was induced, by the persuasion of a
friend, to make n trial of your Btters, and was
most happily disappointed in finding an imme-
date relief and before | had taken the con-
tests of the first bottle, | had obtained a COM
Portable state Of health, and before | had used
three bottles, enjoyed better health than for
number of years. This was about two years
since, and my health has continued good till
the present time. Unjust say that have not
much confidence in patent medicines, but
am satisfied, from the wonderful effects of
your Bittors in my own case, and of friends
whom have induced to use il, that il is valu-
able, and take much pleasure in recommend
ing it 10 my friends and Ocqunintances, and
indeed TO all who are thus afflicted, as well
worthy trial. ! remain yours,

French JOKES UPON QUEEN VICTORIA.
Queen Victoria (suys a Paris paper,) puts
forth great pretersons 10 musical skill, aud
all other courtiers studiously conceal from
her two things: that her voice is harsh and
grabbed, and that she sings so much out of
tune as 10 wound ears not protected with
triple brass, like those of Horace. For the
purpose of passing herself off as n musical
amateur, her majesty has organized court
concerts, at which she sings duets with La
bluche, who is witty fellow,as well as man
of talent. The duets are, of course, badly
executed.
