 OF all the remedies oi the day, and they are great variety, which profess to be ol great value 10 the human family. we hesitate not to pronounce Dr. Swayne's Compound syrup of Wild Cherry as one of the great est discoveries of modern science.

MExICAN VIEWS OF THE WAR.

We have referred to the ultra Democratic
Spirit Of La Razon, the organ of the Pu-
Ios or Federalists, in the City Of Mexico.
The following article from that Journal of Oc-
tober %, TRANSLATED by the New Orleans
Delta, may be regarded as an exposition Of
the sentiments Of that party upon the war
question. We publish it, not without any
hopes that it will have any effect upon the
wicked councils of the American Executive,
but that the People may see how justly our
enemies can reason upon the war and its con-
sequences to themselves, even though they do
not actupon such sensible deductions. As to
the propositions Of La Razon--a conference
between the eminent men Of both People it
is idle to hope for any result from it, for even
ii Mexico were to offer it formally, Mr. Polk
would not agree to it, while there are any
Irists or Atochas or SHdeils to whose un-
skilful hands he can commit the high interest
of the country.
