ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL DAMPER.

On the Goth December, as will be seen by re.
terrence TO the Presidents Special Message in
another column, Mr.. Polk asked the authority of
law to appoint Lieutenant General in the
Army. The object, as universally understood,
was the appointment of an individual TO the COM
mand of the army, who has never, in all his life,
"Set asquadron in the field and thus TO super.
cede all those veteran officers, who by their gall
lantry, courage, and conduct, had earned for
themselves and their country name. The
plan was promptly and effectually REBUxED by
the representatives of the people. The follow
ing proceedings were had in the House of Re-
personalities on the 9th inst.
"THE LIEUTENANT GENERAL GONE BY THE
BoARD.-Mr. Haralson of Ca, asked leave TO
make report from the committee on Military
Affairs. Leave was granted, and TO the surprise
Of many, he stated that he had been instructed to
ask that the committee be discharged from so
much Of the Presidents Message as relates 10 the
appointment ola General officer, and that it be
laid upon the table.
"The Report was unanimously agreed to, and
thus aquietus is put upon the Presidents recon-
mendation for the appointment Of General Off

CoUeHs, CoLDs, CONSUMPTION, &c.-It should bs
remembered that cough is alwas an evidence that
some imPurty is lodged in the lungs which, if not
speedily removed will so irrtate those delicate organs
as to produce inflammation of the lungs disease
which we all know is the high road to consumption.
Wrght's Indian Vegetable Pills are a safe, easy
and certain cure for colds and coughs because they
carry off by the stomach and bowels, those morbid
humors which, if deposited upon the lungs, are the
cause of the above dangerous complaints. A single
twenty-five cent box of said Indian Vegetable Pills
is generally sufficient to make perfect cure of the
most obstinate cold; and at the same time the diges-
tion is improved and the blood so completely puried
that new life and vigor are given to the whole Frame
BEWARE OF CoUETERFEITs.-Thep public are cau-
toned against the many spurious medicines which,
in order to deceive, are called by names similar to

THE ADMINIsTRATION-.THE REVE.
ME,

The effects Of the mad and ruinous acts ofthe
Administration and its party in Congress at the
last session Of that body, are now just being de-
veloped. The War of conquest, waged by the
President without authority of law, and against
all the dictates of sound policy, was ad optud by
that Congress, as an act Of fealty TO the execu.
tive. The wholesome measures Of n previous
Congress, under the operation orwhich the Pres
dent, in his late annual message, was enabled to
fecitOte himself on the happy and prosperous
condition Of the country, were sacrlhced at the
shrine Of the Executive party-and new meas
ures already repudiated by the people, were sub
s,tued in their place. The Wing tariff of l842
which had restored the country 10 condition at
the contemplation ofwhich The President himself
cannot repress his exultation, and which had DIFF
fused its benefits far and wide through all clas-
ses Of the community, was repealed; and the Brit
ish Tariff, approved by Sir Robert Peel, and the
Agents of English manufactures, and English
merchants, was substituted. The Su6-TreaSury
scheme, the mere recommendation OF which had
driven Mr.. Van Buren, and his administration in.
to perpetual banshment, is raked up, as it were
from the very "ashes of dispair," where It's orig
ina projectors had been buried with it, and is en-
lacted into law, to take effect on the lst day of
January, tS47. All this was done at the last
session of Congress, while the Executive and his
party were medtating and maturing their
schemes for Mexican conquest.
! The fruits Of their labors was soon apparent
in the exhibition Of an exhausted treasury, an i'm

THE VAN Ness CAsE.-The counsel for Mrs.
Conner have published a card in which they
avow full belie(that the cause oftheir client is
JUST and must eventually triumph. "Happily,"
they say, "she is not ute friendless; and the
doors ofthe highest judicial tribunal in the land
are open to her, where her claim will be fairly
and impartialIy heard and considered; and the
wrongs she has suffered be fully redressed. To
this tribunal and this result we look with every
confidence"
Eleven of the Jurors who tried the case have
signed paper certifying that "aher having at
tentively heard and considered all the evidence
offered on the part Of the plaintiff and defendant,
in their opinion there was nothing in the testimo.
