other points on the road. The news henceforth
will be of the utmost Importance. We must expect
to hear Of new exhibitions of American bravery,
and now stories of suffering, yet of triumph. This
is evident, both from the expressed determination
of the Mexicans to defend the city, and of Gen.
Scott to possess it at any cost. There has been
no defeat Of our arms since the commencement of
the war and it is certain that with such body OF

BE WISE. No time must be lost by the use
of foolish remedies such as bleeding, or mercury,
for they both only put off the evil day TO make il
more fatal. Even in inRammalory diseases, bleed
ing never ought be resored to- Tor in nine cases
out of ten it will take away the power OF nature
to effect the cure, even when aided by Brandreth's
Pills. They can take out the impurities from the
blood, but alas !! they cannot put new blood into
the BODY this requires time, but they CAN REGENER-
ATE OLD BLOOD, but the old blood must be there. II
is at all times easier eradicate mercury from ;he
system and restore the mercurialiZed being to full
health than it is to affect the restoration of the
man who has repeatedly been bled. Bleeding and
the effects of opium are the greatest antagonists
the Biandreth's Pills have 10 contend against. Let
Us therefore be wise and when sickness assalls u.s.,
abstract the disease BLOOD, not the bood
out of the body which bleeding does.
Now Brandreth's Pills not only purifles the blood,
but they lessen the quantity, al the same lime they
make the quality better. They only lake the
worn out parts from the blood those which, II re-
lained, would be a source of disease. The good
effects which are derived from Brandreth's Pills
have TO be felt to be believed. The seeds of decay
can be constantly eradicated by their use, and the
PRINcrpLE OF LIRE TRE BLooD-strengthened.

servalion have been most numerous, assured US in
recent conversation that we had with him, that
the influence most potent in the encouragement of

SIN our District COL Barringer, under the Fed
eraI Rdgnermander, has no regular opposition ;
but we Democrats intend, compliment TO that
able brother in the cause, Walter F. Leak, to at
tend the polls and vote for him informally. II will
be a compliment he richly deserves. We cannot
think of asking him to canvass the District as a
regular candidate.
81 rejoice to see you laboring so manfully to
forward the election:of Gen. Daniel. Aihough two
of his opponents (Messrs. Toole and Prtchard)
are or heretofore have been, more nearly allied to
me in political sentiment than the General, yet
highly disapprove their extraordinary course, and
if were in the District should give my cordial
support TO the candidate Of the party. And may
no, hope every Democrat in the District will thus
act Look at the example Of our opponents in the
Goilford District There were three federalists In
the field, but no sooner did a Democrat come out
than two of the federasis withdrew and went for
the other most heartily. Will our party IN North
Carolina never learn wisdom2 The reelection OF
Gen. Daniel and Col. Biggs, and the success OF
Mr. Venable in the Orange district, would greatly
rejoice the Democracy Of the West--burried up
as they are under the mountains OF federalism
heaped upon them by the last wicked Mexican
