Remarkable Prophecy.

Mr.. Poinsett has communicated TO
De Bows Commercial Review some
papers on Mexico Of remarkable merit.
In the number of May is contained the
following striking prophecy:
The Spanish minister, Count dc A.
randa, after signing the treaty Of Paris,
in 1888, submitted to the King a secret
memoir, in which he declares the indie
pendence Of the British Colonies fills
his mind with grief and fear, and ex-
presses his belief that both France and
Spain acted in opposition to their inter.
ests when they espoused the cause OF
the Colonies. He regards the exis-
tence Of the United States Of America
as highly dangerous to the Spanish A.
merican possessions, and on this subject
uses the following very remarkable
language:
"This federal republic is born a pig
my, if | may be allowed so TO express
myself. 1t has required the support Of
two such powerful states as France and
Spain to obtain Its Independence
The day will come when she will be a
giant, a colossus formidable even to
these countries. She will forget the
services she has received from the two
powers, and will think only of her own
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The liberty Of con.
science, the facility Of establishing a
now population upon immense terrific.
ries, together with the advantages of a
new government, (meaning free,) will
attract the agriculturists and mechanics
of all nations, for men will ever run az
ter fortune; and in a few years we
shall see the tyranical existence Of this
very colossus of which / speak.
"The first step Of this nation after ii
has become powerful, will be to take
possession Of the FIoridas, in order to
have command Of the Gulf of Mexico.
and after having rendered difficult our
commerce with New Spain, she will
aspire to the conquest Of that vast EN-.
pire, which it will be difficult for us to
defend against a formidable power es.
tabllshed on Inc same continent dno III
its immediate nelghborhood.
"These fears are well founded; they
must be realized in a few years if some
greater revolution, even more fatal, does
not sooner take place in our Americas
In conclusion he proposes as the best
means Of averting this imminent dan,
ger, that Spain should relinquish the
Americas and establish three of the In
fantas, one to be King of Mexico, one
of Peru, and the other Of Costa Firma,
retaining under the dominion OF the
mother country only Porto Rico and
Cuba: and recommending that a treaty
Of commerce should be entered into
between France and Spain, in relation
to these countries, from the advantages
of which Great Britain should be ex-
cluded.

man of high standing in that place:
Mr.. JOSEPH I. Yo~UNGLovE,-
Sir: As a duty ! owe to the community,
and particularly to the afflicted, I would state that

disease and weakness Of the lungs, which caused
me to cough a great deal. and Produced consequent
debility of my system generally TO such a degree,
that it was with difficulty | could walk to do which
even for q short distance, ! experienced great IA
tigue. ! had various medicines recommended to
me, which I used without. any beneficial effects
whatever, until 7 procured a 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 it for a short time in.
creased my general health and strength to such on
extent that | was stronger aud more healthy than l
had been for years before. From the trial ! have
made of The medicine, / can confidently recomend
it as a powerful tonic, a certain cure for affections
OF the lungs unless it be may in case of Consump-

from this place. and published in the

which was well known TO him; and.
finally. that he had come home with

On hearing this story recounted,
Hamilton threw up his hands and ex.

OF murder Before his cxecu,ion, he
