thing can induce me 10 sacrifice my independ-
ence, NOT even 10 retain the favor Of my native
State. II I, in 1887, supported Mr.. Van Buren,,
il was because he was forced 10 sustain the mea-

Jackson, and because the Wings took ground
against them; and not because joined him and
his fallen fortunes. l had no motive to do either,
while had strong ones to support the measures
which | approved. 1t would have been highly
censurable in me 10 turn against them because ne
had been forced 10 support them.

returned to the convention, they refused
to give a statement the evidence of said
examination, TO the convention; and on
motion to accept the report Of said COM
mittee, the vote stood fifteen against and
seventeen in favor ofacceptingsaid report.
The chairman excluded two votes from
Van Buren, precienct. who were Untitled

wished to vote against accepting the

have placed the convention at a tie. The

1t is said that Santa Anna has 10000
men with him, and that he will make
another stand at formidable point in the
road-at Rio Frio. This, says the New
Orleans Delta, is one otthe most danger
Gus and difficult passes which our army
will have to make. The road, for some
distance beyond PuebIa, is excellent, but
near Cordova it is reaches the mountains,
and passes through deep narrow defles,
and over steep and rugged heights. The
country is wild looking, thinly wooded
with oaks and pines, and rendered very
rough and uneaven by rocks of lava and
Porphyry. Near Tesmelucos, a little
village or hacienda, il begins to wind
along the side ofthe mountain in many
places being cut through the solid rock.
Here the road is commanded by the
heights at Popocatapetl. which, if occu.
pied by strong battery, would render the
passage Of an army over the stee ,, rugged,
and exposed ascent. task of very grea.
danger and difficulty. But,even when the
heights are passed, the perils and obsta.
cles OF the position are not enterely sur.
mounted; for the road decends INTO a
deep, narrow DELL where a small and
brave force might operate with great
effect upon large army accompanied BY
long trains and parks of artillery. This
dell is traversed by the Rio Frio, (Cold

.ANTT-BTJIIOUS PILLS.

A knowledge of ihc value Of these Pills is
alone necessary TO bring them into general
use as family medicine. Thousands have
already used them, who give them deci
ded preference TO all other kinds. The pro
prieter is SO confident of their virtues that
he has instructed his Agents that in case any
person after giving them trial.. does not
prefer them to Gregory's, Lees, Peters, and
all other Anti-Blllous Pills, if the trouble
will be taken 10 return the balance oflthe
box, to refund the whole money. They are
not like many of the quack medicines ofthe
day, held up as an infalliable cure for all dis
eases, but if timely administered will be
fonnd very effacacious in Bilious and re-
mittent fevers, fever and ague, costiveness,
cholic, worms, pain of the bowels. aatulenee,
indigestion, heartburn, pain ofthe head, back
