VEGETABLE .UN1VERSAL PILLS,
Are Strengthening, Pun gatiue anM Pwri-
firing Tonic.
These Pills have become celebrated Tor their
extraordinary and immediate powers of re-
storing perfect health 10 persons suffering
under nearly every kind of disease to which
the human frame is liable. They are partic-
ularly recommended to all those persons who
are afflicted with any kind Of chronic or lin
gering complaint, Us there is no medicine be-
tore the public which has so natural and hap
py an effect upon the system. in correcting
the stomach and liver, and 10 the formation
OF healthy chye, and IN purifying the blood.
They arc acknowledged by the hundreds and
thousands who are using them, TO be not
only the most mild and pleasant in their ope-
ration, but. the most innocent, safe and eff
cient medicine ever offered to the public.
Those who once make trial Of these Pills
never afterward feel willing to be without
them. which is sufficient proof Of their good
qualities.
- Headache-Sick anil Nervous.
Those who are suffering with this distressing
complaint, will 6nG DR. LcRoy's Pills reme-
dy at once certain and immediate effects. As
q remedy in summer complaints they display
their wonderful powers to admiration, and are
far superior TO any thing in use for those
complaints. In dyspepsia and liver COM
plant they stand unrIyalled. Many hive
been cured IN q few weeks after having suf.
fcred under That dreadful complaint 70, years.
In habitual costiveness they are decidedly su-
perior to any medicine ever brought before
the public, and one 25 cent box will establish
their surprising virtues and place them be-
yond the reach of doubt in the estimation of
everv individual. They are invaluable IN
nervous and hypocondnacal affections, loss of
appetite, and all complaints to which females
alone arc subject. They are mild in their
action, and copvcy almost immediate convc-
tion Of their Utility from the first dose. They
may be taken by personsof sny ugc, and tile
feeble, the infirm, the nervous aud delicate,
are strengthened by their operation, because
they clear the system Of bad humors, quiet
nervous irritabihty, and invariably produce
sound health. AS an an,i>biious medicine,
no family should be without them. A single
trial is more satisfactory than thousand cor.
sificates. ~ .fSssi ';ass''

MEN AND THINGS At WAsHLNoroN.-A
friend,sojousning for few days at Washing.
Con, has given u. his impressions of men
and ,hings at the Capitol, which we deem
sufficiently interesting TO spread before our
readers. He says;
Itwould naturally be supposed tina, the
war was the engrossing ubject ofdiscussion
and delibeeatlon here but assure you it is
looked upon by many as only n part of The
game for the Presidency. The Presidential
question is like Aaron's rod: it swallows
up all others believe the President is not
unwilling for peace himself, and is n, dis
posed TO push our military operations SO far
~ TO make the subjuga;ion and annexation
OF Mexico a part of our policy; but there
are many here who would look on speedy
peace as a misfortune. Western statesmen
are ambitious aud reckless beyond any
thing that you in the South can we'll believe;
and for the Atlantic States, and especially
the Southern to intcrposc opposition, is like
his mother chiding Hercules. with his club
raised over her head
Itwould crafty you to witness the respect
and admiration commanded by MIR. Cal
houn. His views will have an important
l.
they cannot arrest the current of events. .over
which ambitious d,mlyoyues have acquir
Cd too much influence.
Gen. Cass is an aspirant, and has 4 t;,cil-
ty Of disposition almost amounting to easy
virtue.
Mr.. Buehannau is pliab!e, of somewha,
accommodating, with a rather friendly
feeling toward the South.
Mr.. Dallas is more open and decided, and
has more will, but wants more comprchen-
sion.
Judge Woodbury. is in doctrine sound,
and although northern man, has no sect
tional bigo,ry. He would make good
President, but hc is not one of Juno's favor
Ites-not imperial in his character
Mr.. Clay is here, and chatting like a lion.
Some of the wings are afraid to oppose
him, and would be glad he was at Ashland
Others th!ns no oae else will do but him.
But he is so old, and has been so often beat
en-, that the selfish men Of the party look
for one more available. Judge Mclean is
4 man OF talents, but he wants the power of
insPirin! enthusiasm, and will not be ta-
kenup. Con. Scott has great many friends
and an effort will be made to make diver
sion for him. Gen. Taylor is called G whig
but 1t Is thought he is not sound in Wing
doctrines, md tina. he would not be thorough
in his party adhesions that he would not
make all whig appointments, and that he
- ssersc to whig nomination. He has
however. honesty and firmness, and ifhe
