Another Invalid restored to Health.
Tread the following statement of facts from Mr..
Eli Bailey, highly respectable merchant OF Wen
ma, Jphnsun county, %Illinuis.]
Messrs Phelps & Blakesley, StLouis, Mo-,
Gentemen:-A desire ia benefit the afflicted
throughput the land has alone induced me ia make
the following statement of facts respecting one of
the most astonishing cures ever recorded: My sun
now seventeen years old, has been afflicted during
his Whale life with a constant cough, pain in the
side and chest, accompanied with night sweats and
hectic fever, which produced great emaciatipn
and debility: and at intervals during the night his
expectoration would become so great as to endan-
ger his life from strangulation. During this time
he was attended by many physicians Of the highest
repute, whose prescriptions gave but temporary
relief in fact, SO alarming were the SYMPTOMS, and
so inveterate was bis disease, than I was compel
led to believe him beyond the reach Of medical
aid.
All Dur neighbours wha saw him, regarded him
as one wha was rapidly approaching an early and
premature grave. After having thus exhausted
theiskill of our best physicians, without obtaining
relief, was prevailed upon by the advice pf a
friend to make use of Wistay's Balsam OF WId
Cherry.
He commenced its use aboudthe Both Of Decem-
Der, 1874, the first bottle of which gave astonish-
ing relief, and l begun again to indulge in the
fond hope that he might yet be restored to health.
After having continued the use of it until three
bottles had peen taken, the disease was entirely
overcome, and his shattered constitution and
emaciated form restored to sound and permanent
health, which he continues to enjoy up to the pre-
sent time.
I believe the genius, DR.. Wistar's Balsam of
Wild Cherry, to be one of the most valuable me-
dicines ever MISUNDERSTANDING, as I do, that
the above cure was effected solely by its use.
am, gentlemen, very respectfully,
Your most obedient servant
April 9. 1s46. ELI BAILEY.

PREJUDICE is a serious obstacle to the difu.
sion Of that which is really good and beneficial to
our race, and is often productive of the most la
mentable consequences. 1t is but a few day.
since that we witnessed its baleful influence with
melancholy sorrow. We were recommending tc
a cherished friend, who had long been suffering
under q severe chronic affection of the Liver, the
use of DR.. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry. He
obstinately refused to take ii because it was a patent
medicine, thus preferring suffering, perhaps death,
under the regular '.Jalap and calomel' prescription,
to life and health by the use of a patent medicine.
We would say to all who have an affection Of
the liver in any form, lay aside prejudice, make
use of DR.. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and
we have the best reason to believe it will restore
you to health.

Balsam of Wild Cherry.

We FAD the following letter written TO the
~ agent at Bowling Green, KY, by gentle.
man of high standing in that place:
Mr.. JOSEPH I. YouNGLovE,-
SIR: As a duty | owe to the community,
and particularly to the afflicted, I would state that
I had been for a number Of years laboring under
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 a short distance, I experienced great ia
tigue. had various medicines recommended to
me, which l used without any beneficial effects
whatever, until 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 an
extent that | was stronger and more healthy than I
had been for years before. From the trial l have
made of the medicine, | can confidently ecomend
it as a powerful tonic, a~certain cure for affections
Of the lungs unless it be may in case of Consump-
ton, obstinate and long standing.

aQOPtS lie strongest argument In tht
world. Its premises are utterly a
war with its conclusions. It draws a
most cheering description OF the manu-
features of Pittsburgh-it describes the
"astonishment and surprise" with which
Mr.. Glenn, of Baltimore. was struck
the other day in viewing "the magni
tude Of Pittsburgh manufactures, bust
ness, and population Ii shows the
high wages which the operatives in
iron receive for their labor, in order to
show ''the effect which the prosperity
of our manufactures exerted in furnish
ing employment and pay 10 labor."-
1t states, among others, that the iron
works of Edward Evans in Pittsburgh
are in a gerry prosperous condition, and
give employment to about 100 hands;
and it presents the following table,
"showing the product and consumption
ofmaterials in the different works of our
city:"
"Product.

Blooms, 1900 tons 772,OOO
Coal, 100000 bushels 100000

We have calculated in the above Ia.
Bile, the pig metal at $50 per ton; the
blooms at $40; and coal and coke al
A cents per bushel, the present prices.
"The whole number of hands en-
ployed in the rolling mills Of Pittsburg
may be estimated at two thousand FIVE
hundred, who earn about $l,4Oo,0O0
per annum.
"From these figures some idea may
be formed of the immense value of the
iron trade of Pennsylvania. We have
in our article only noticed the Pitts
burgh houses; but the whole State is
literally dotted with founderies, furna-
ces, and rolling mills.
"It is to be noted that we have only
referred to the rolling-mills; the air
founderies we have reserved for further
reports"
Now, we would suppose that, as the
iron trade is doing a very prosperous
business, therefore the tariff of'46 is
amply sufficient. Tho .Commercial
Journal" does not deny this position in
so many words, but it vulgarly hints at
the "claim which Pennsylvania offers
for the protection Of the government"
We maintain that the indirect protec-
tion which the iron business Of Penn
sylvania derives from the revenue tar
i'll, and the demand for iron {for rail-
roads, &C., &c, in Europe) is sufficient
encourage her manufacturers, and to
satisfy her people; and we must re-
quire some better evidence than the
vague generalities which the Pittsburgh
paper furnishes, 10 convince us that
her manufacturers are not contented.

plant there. We hear cfno ~ruin-notI

DEAR FRIENps:-On board The English
mail steamer Teviot, arrived from England
on the 9Th inst, was Gen. Don Mariana Pa
redes y Arigaila, eA-President Of the Mexi-
can Republic, accompanied by four English
officers, and they left yesterday in the same
steamer for Vera Cruz Asis naturally the
case, this has given rise here to thousand
rumors, and the most absurd stories have
been invented. will, however, relate to
to you what think most probable, and
which is regarded as such by the rejecting
people. /, has been ascertained that Pare
des comes with full powers to propose Eau
ropean intervention, Anglo Gaille, as they
call il,) and to terminate at once the difficult
lies between Mexico and the United States.
II is also stated that afterwards Santa Anna
will be banlshed, showing to the Mexican
people that the s'benefactor OF his county,"
(benemerte de la pat ia,) as they call him,
has done nothing else but cheat them, and
that his intention has always been TO sacri
hce his country to his private interests.
Santa Anna once banshed, Paroles will as
sumo the power, and assisted by his numer.
Gus and influential partizans, he will estab-
lish monarchy in Mexico, and Paroles
will be nominated GeneIalssimo of the
Mexican armies. Opinions are divided
concerning the origin Of this monarchy. II
appears almost impossible that there should
be- coalition between France and England,
to place on the Mexican Throne Donna Ma
ria Chris.iana, and the Duke Of Monlmorot,
(Rianzaries This appears ridiculous, but
there are many who believe it. Others are
of opinion that the plan is solely French,
with the acquiescence and aid Of England,
which offers her assistance in order to pre-
vent the farther extension ofterritory by the
United States, and to prevent all objections
by France, when Great Britain presents her

TO the Editor Of the National Whiy:-
A sojourn OF a few days in This part OF the
venerable old State of Alaryla shsws me that
the Wings are up and doing. The nominees a,
the late Stale Convention for the House of
Delegates are active and energetic. and there
is said TO be much talent in The Delegation
from this county and the Howard District
And il is generally believed that The Wings
will triumphanty carry all before Them.
II is with great pleasure that we inform you
that the very best feeling exist here in favor OF
Gen. Taylor for the next Presidency. The
recent visit of Hon. H. Clay in this Stale has
had most excellent tendency; and the univer
sal conviction that Mr.. Clay will give General
Taylor his warmest support, and that he will
exercise his whole influence among his old
personal and political friends, will be produc-
tive of the best effects.
The Wings have brought out Mr.. Stewart as
the Congressional candidate opposed to Thos.
w. Lyon, esq late member in the last Con
gress. Mr.. Stewart is said To be a gentleman of
great worth, will make an independent and er
sellent member Of Congress, and there is little
OF no doubt CT his election. Our correspon-
sdenl does not appear 10 know Of Mr.. Stewards
declinalion.
l have, short time since, taken ramble
through the busy and enterprising village Of
Ellicolt's Mills it would be most excellent
thing if some of your citizens who are enter
tanning some notion of erecting cotton factory
in your city, should visit this place to witness
the industry and thrift universally prevailing,
the rapid advance of property, &c. The me-
chanics of this place are, all thriving
steady and industrious habits shew them to be
the bone and sinew of every community. The
numerous cotton factories and machine shops,
on the banks Of the beautiful little Patapsco,
seem to use up all the water flowing within its
rugged banks. Why should not the waters
of the majestic Potomac be used in like man
ner. Your devotion TO the mechanic interests
of your city mus, be brought to bear on this
subject. A MECHANIC.
