we can confidently recommend it to the afflicted

Avery important disease over which the s.Bal.

DISEASED LIVER.
In this complaint it has doubtless proved more effi-
catous than any remedy hitherto employed, and in
numerous instances when patients had endured
long and severe suffering from the disease without
receiving the least benefit from various remedies,
and when mercury had been resorted to in vain the
use of this Balsan has restored the Liver to heal
thy actian, and in many instances effected ,g
PERMANENT CURES.
after every other remedy had failed to produce this
desired effect. e5..,s. i.si
Besides its astonishing efficacy in the disease
above mentioned, we also find it avery efectual
remedy in ASTHMA, complaint in which it has
been extensively used with decided success, even
in cases Of years standing
Itnot only emanates from regular physician, but
has also been well tested in all the complaints for
which il is recommended. 1t is notmy intention,
therefore, either TO cloak it in mystery, or in any
way deceive the public by overrating its virtues;on
the contrary shall simply endeavor to give brief
statement of its usefulness. and atter myselfthat
its surprising efficacy will enable me to furnish
such proofs of its virtues will satisfy the mostin

THE MEXICAN WAR.

In reference to this subject, we place in our
columns Of to-day paper from the same pen with
the one which we published week or two back
upon the same question. To those of our readers
to whose mind the initial of the writer may not
suggest his name, we may be allowed to say that
no citizen who has either written or spoken upon
this matter has had greater opportunities ofperson
al observation Of the character and features of the
Mexican race, their polity, and the country they
inhabit, than the gentleman to whose pen the pub
lie is indebted for the information conveyed in
the article which occupies the preceding columns.
In committing his views to paper, in the present
emergency, he has performed patriotic service,
for which he is entitled to the hearty thanks Of his
fellow-citizens, and even of those among them
whose views, in regard to the existing war, may
not heretofore have accorded with his.

CONGRESS AND THE MEXICAN WAR.


The curtain has risen, and the plays begun.
The scene, the Senate Chamber; the subject the
War with Mexico, its aims and its objects.
The discussion was opened on Tuesday in the
Senate upon the bill proposing to appropriate Three
Millions Of Dollars for the purpose of enabling the
President of the United States to negotiate peace
with Mexico. The Report of the discussion and
proceedings upon it cannot fail to attract the atten-
ton of all our readers who will thence learn the
terms, as stated by the Chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations, upon which the President is
willing, for his part, to make Peace with Mexico.
We rejoice that this discussion has begun, and
begun in that body in which Debate is yet permitted,
and proper courtesy observed by the Members TO
one another. We knew that the Session could not
pass away, unless through entire contempt of public
feeling and expectation, without an expression by
Congress Of an opinion to what extent and for what
objects this War is to be further prosecuted, and at
what point, when reached, it shall be stayed and
ended. The occasion has arisen even earlier than
we anticipated; and glad of it, because time
enough is yet before the Senate for thorough ex-
animation of this great question on its merits.

CASE OF THE LEXINGTON.

Our readers will have noticed, by the short daily
reports of the cases before the Supreme Court
that cause has been under argument for severa
days, the name of which hardly indicates the sub
ject of it. II is the Merchants Bank of Boston
against the New Jersey Steamboat Navigation
Company.
The Lexington, which belonged to this Com
pany, was destroyed by fire, in Long Island Sound,
as our readers remember, in January, 1910. The
Merchants Bank had property on board, the value
of which they seek to recover against the owners
of the boat
We learn from professional friend that many
important questions arise in the case; first, ques-
ton ofjurisdcton, the suit is admiralty suit
next, whether owners of steamboats, are not COM
mon carriers, and answerable for all losses except
those above all human agency; and, lastly, whe-
Their there not negligence in the preparation Of
the boat, slowing the cargo, &c.

THE oNE-MAN POWER.

In further evidence of the rapid strides which the
one-man power is making over the barriers and
fences up against in the Constitution, quote
the following from the organ of the Progressive
Democracy in the city of Baltimore:
FROM g THE REPUBLICAN, AND ARGUS" JAN 20.
"THE EXECUTIVE AND CoNGREss.-It belongs
: TO the Executive to manage the war with Mexico.
: The supreme legislative power declared war to
: exist, and hencetorwards it was the duty of the
: Executive 10 wage the war with all such means as
the Constitution and Congress placed at his dis
posal. When, then, he found these measures in
adequate and applied to Congress for other mea-
= sures, HIS WILL should haze been immediately
complied Dith unless it was plainly in contraven-
ton Of the Constitution"
