A strong evidence that Dr. Jayne's Expector-
ant is superior to all other remedies for Coughs,
Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, and other Pull
monary affections, is, that the same persons who
commenced the use of it in their families ten years
ago, still prefer it to all other remedies of the
kind; and whore any have been induced to try
other preparations, they have almost invariably
been disappointed in receiving the benefit which
was reasonably anticipated from the high praises
bestowed by the propretors, and have returned To
theuse of Jaync's Expeotorant, as 4 remedy that
never has failed to relieve them, and which prob
ably never had its equal in arresting pulmonary

The repeal of the charter of the Plainfeld Bank by

meet the liabilities is doubtful Beach, the proprietor
of the Sun, was the manager of the Bank. He con-

been strong opponent of the Sub-treastry, and the

BARBARoUs TREATMENT OF JEW IN GERMANY
1t is stated that German Jew with wife and child,
was recently banished from Hanover simply because,
having led wandering life, he could not name bis
country. He was sent into several neighboring
States, and frequently back, and on each oc-
cason he received severe foggng for having invol-
UNFAIRLY broken the laws. At length, through the
Intervention Of humane lawyer, he was transmitted
to America.
OF course Migrants are never sent anywhere but
here and Botany Bay.-St. Louis Natiue American.
Ot-The spirit which dictated the two last lines Of
the above, precisely the same as that which nct-
ed the cruelty upon the poor Jew. The whole of it
is perfect development of the ultimate results Of
those illberal preudices which dignifed by the
term "Nativsm." 1t is just such results which the
accomplishment of the ends of that miserable faction
would infict upon this now free and happy land.

The CLAIM OF Gov. ID. d. TomPKINs. Although
but few private bills have been passed during the pres
ent session II must be gratifying the friends of the
late Governor ID. d. Tompkins to learn that on Fri
DAY bill was carried through both houses appropria-
ting sly 40 for the benefit of the heirs in conse-
quence OF money advanced by him during tine last
war with Great Britain. This amount was recon-
rnended by President Monroe in 1924, and is now
given as interest. Ugh in truth, it may be viewed
az compensation ior losses sustained BY that truly
patriotic statesman 1t is somewhat singular that
the claim was unknown to his sons until eighteen
months since. They were children when their father
died; aud whenthey came to mans estate, in look
ing over some old papers, they discovered such clear
evidence OF the business of the claim that there
but three found to oppose it in the House. 1t was
taken to the Senate and there the eve of the
adjournment, and without debate, passed without a
dissenting VOTE Justice is slow, but sure and in this
occurrence we have an exempi6cation of the adage.
