stored him to health that he is now able TO walk

that on the accession of slight Cold, they have
only to step to either the Dr's office, of his
Agents, and obtain box Of his Cough Lozenges,

and the patient about his business. So great is
the celebrity of the Lozenges, that thousands Of
persons who have used them, and become acquaint-
ed with their effects, will never be without them.

the children began to cry for Sherman's Lozenges.
The noise was not so loud at that time but it has
kept increasing ever since, and now has become
so great that the mouths of the little ones can
scarce be stopped. DIR. Sherman sympathises
with the little sufferers, and very much regrets
that any of them should be disappointed. Know
ing the vast benefit which has been conferred upon
the community by the introduction ofhis inlallible
Worm LOZenges,
he has entered into arrangements for enlarging
his Mandatory, by means of which he thinks he
will be able to supply the demand. And the same
pains and care will be taken, that these celebrated
Lozenges be made as they have always been, in
order that those who depend upon them may not
be disappointed in their hopes He knew when
he commenced the manufacture of the Worm Lo-
Senges, that they would supercede the use of eve
ry other vermfuge, as the Lozenge is uery p cas-
ant to the taste, speedy in its effects as we'll as
certain, and the quantity required to effect per
feet cure, is very small. These properties in con-
nexon with the fact that they sold for 30 cents
per Box, thus placing them in the reach OF the
poorest man in the land, has not only caused them
to take the place of every other vermifuge ever of
iered, but also rendered them popular to the COM

IMPORTED PAUPERS.

man who has recently returned from Wash

tiers from one of the American consuls in
Ireland. stating that several hundred inmates
Of the poor house at Londonderry were
now in readiness to be embarked by the mu-
nicipal authorities as soon as ships could be
engaged TO transfer them to this country.
The evil Of pauper importation threatens
in the coming year. to be enormous
Whether Congress will do anything the
presen, session to apply remedy. we have
our doubts. Congress is generally slow to
act, except in two cases-when the members
have personal object to secure. and wher
they are impeled by strong public opin-
ion fergo. The evil Of which we complain
has not lasted long enough to create pub
lie opinion sogeneral as to operate on Con
gress. This will be the case, however
shortly.
Some of the members are perhaps reluc'
tant TO move in the matter, for fear OF dis
pleasing the citizens Of foreign birth already
in the country. We see no g'ound for this
fear. So far as the German prints are any
indication of the feeling of our German fel
low citizens, their voice is decidedly fol

Mr.. Calhoun's Speech Extract

Mr.. Calhoun spoke an hour in explanation
ofhis views Of the war. He was in favor Of
abandoning all offensive operations, and es-
tablshing line, commencing at the mouth
Of the Rio Grande, thence up the river TO III
Passo, thence due west, striking the Gulf OF
California near its head, and holding this line,
acting altogether on the defensive. In addi-
lion, he was for establishing Custom Houses
al ports now in our possession, and levying
moderate duties to meet all the expenses Of
holding the line proposed, which would be
about two millions Of dollars and quarter
per annum. One fort at the mouth Of the
river, another at Camargo. and third at FL
Passo, would .e all that would be necessary,
and five regiments could maintain the line,
He was not in favor Of holding this line per-
manently, but subject TO treaty of peace.
lie thought this policy would incline Mexico
TO peace She would see we we're undertak-
ing only what we had strength 10 perform
and were not attempting TO destroy her ma
tionaI existence. Our policy should be to
preserve Mexico independent. There is
mysterious connection between her fate and
ours. Mr. Calhoun then stated the objec-
lions and difficulties 10 the further prosecu-
ton Of the war towards the city Of Mexico as
follows.
