Something for the Old Counties

We find the following extract from a
letter from Hon. VIM. THoMpsos, Repre-
sentative in Congress from the first dis.
trict, directed to the editor of the Ioua
Sentinel, published in that paper of the
10Th inst:
"Prior to the appointment of Doctor G.
S. Bailey to the Office of marshal, number
of the old counties paid out of their own
funds large amount of money for the
fees ofjurymen, witnesses, and officers of
the court. This was all wrong, as the
general government was bound to pay all
court charges for the entire term, no mat
ter how long it continued. Now, if these
counties will procure a bill of these costs,
paid by them after the first week of the
court to be made out and forwarded to me,
| will endeavor to get the money refunded
to the several counties. The state of Flor
ida has already done the same thing, and
l have no doubt of our success.

PoPE PIus THE NIsrH.-The presen,
Pontiff Of Rome is truly an extraordinar,
man. When the twelve thousand mer
were about to march to the succor o.
Lombardy, he was asked for his benedic.

AS Head Of the Church, am at peace
with all the universe. As an Italiar
Prince, l have right to defend Italy, my
country. bless you. The cause yol
go to defend is holy cause-God vii
make it triumph. bless you once more

The Royal mail steamer Cambria arriy-
ed to-day, having sailed on the 18th ut.
By this. arrival we have the following
important news.
The French elections have passed off
peaceably, Lamartine and Marrast were
ahead. France remains tranquil, but blot.
are forming against the Provisional Gov
eminent. a. r x z.r. ,. .,-,. g..
Lombardy remains unchanged, with the
prospects that no battles will be fought.
The Sicilian House of Commons. after
the discussing the expediency of calling
to the throne an Italian Prince of the fam.
lily of Tuscany or Saxony, finally decided
that Ferdinand Bourbon, and the dynasty,
had forever fallen from the throne Of Sici-
ly, and that Sicily shall have power to
constitutionally govern herself. This an
nouncement gave universal satisfaction,
and great rejoicing took place. Palermo
was illuminated for three nights. Allthe
statues of the house of Bourbon, were
pulled down to be converted into cannon.
The accounts we have from Baden are
OF the most deporable character. The in
surgents had proposed willingness to
capitulate. Gen. Gongen had advanced
from the ranks to parley with them. They
refused to listen, and as he was retiring
he was treacherously shot, and mortally
wounded. The troops, exasperated at
seeing their chief thus basely slaughtered,
fell upon the Insurgents, killing many in
their fury and desperation.
Schleswig has been the scene of anoth-
er battle between the Danes and Prussians,
in which the latter were driven back over
the river Elder.
Spain and Portugal seem rapidly verg-
ing towards revolutions, but both coun-
tries are as yet quiet.
The French Government have definite
ly abolished slavery in all her colonies.
There is nothing new from Poland
Russia remains quiet, waiting the open
ing Of navigation.
Subsequent accounts state that Schles-
wig has been taken by the Prussian Con-
federation after long engagement on
Easter Sunday. After the capture of thi,
city they advanced to Frensberg, which
surrendered without opposition.
PosTscR1pT.-Wilmot & Smiths Times
reports battle to have been fought be-
tween the Italians and Austrians, near
Mantua. The latter were compelled to
retire to the fortress of Puschiera, which
the King OF Sardinia contemplates attack
ing instantly.
The general European aspects, are COM
paratively quiet. There is nothing from
the agitators Of Ireland. The government
is preparing for outbreak. The govern
ment security bill having passed appears
calculated rather to increase than allay the
political excitement in Ireland, and is cal
culated to sustain the cause Of the Char
lists in England and Scotland.

WHre NoMrsAr1oS.-The wings of the
I'd district have nominated DANIEL NIL
LER, small-potato politician Of Lee coun-
ty, as their candidate for Congress in that
district. This singular nomination was
made with view, if possible, to carry
Possumdum for whiggery. In the effort
to accomplish this desirable object, the re-
ally competent and talented aspirants for
the nomination, as well as the whole uni
versal wing party of the upper portion of
the district, are expected to sacrifice their
wishes and their interests, and fall down
and worship Possumry. The Democracy
of the Second will defeat all such politi-
cal jugglery and jugglers.

IMPORTANT RunoR.--A highly respec-
table house in this city has received let
ter from its partner, dated Hamburg, April
4th, stating that rumor prevailed, which
met with very general belief, that the En-
peror Of Russia has proposed to Austria
and Prussia to restore the nationality of
Poland, each power giving up its share of
the country, provided that monarchy be
established, and the Emperor's son-in-
law, the Prince of Leuchtenberg, be ap-
painted king. Our readers may recollect
that the Prince of Leuchtenburgis the son
of Eugene Beauharnais, the son of the en-
press Josephene by her first husband

THE VrTo PowER.-When politician
asserts that the veto power should only be
interposed in cases of violation of the
constitution, or hasty action of the legisla-
ture-is there man alive who can un-
derstand what is meant? What would be
a violation of the constitution? What
ought to be regarded as hasty action of the
legislature? Will some no-pa,ty politi-
clan enlighten the public? Mr.. Jefferson

was Observation-Disclosures does General
Taylor think of the question -Mississip-

The Old Wing Doctrine-- Men not Priin-

quiescent dictation says: "1hey" (my
iriends) shave represented to me that
the withdrawal of my name would be IA
tai to the success, and perhaps lead to the
dissolution. of the party with which |
have been associated, especially in the

His acquiesence endorses the opinion
of such friends, and proves that in the
opinion of whiggery the man and not the
principle, is destined to prevail; and the
probable dissolution of a great political
party which has come down from the times
Of John Adams, the second President, is
involved in the refusal Of single man to
become that party's candidate for the
presidency. How much better off is that
party whose principles are immortal.

"Mr. Walker has certainly financiered
this administration through some very
tight places, and it must be conceded that
he has done it in manner which not only
greatly benefited the Government, but
bore as gently as possible on the moneyed
interests of the country. Though an ultra
Democrat to the back bone, he has never
even had the appearance of arraying one
class Of society against the other; nor did
he attempt to build up one at the expense
of the other. He has been statesman

Mr.. Harlan entered the field in self de-

Indian Vegetable Pills in the
City OF Mexico !-Great success
among the VOlunteers!-Letter
from a High Sheriff Of south
Carolina!
Extract ola letter from the editor Of the Green
vile Mountaineer, S. C.
DR.. w. WRIGHT-Dear Sir: A
week or two ago | sent you a Mountaineer, con-
tanning letter from one of our Volunteers in
the City Of Mexico. in which he pays WRIGHTS
INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, under the cir.
cumstances. the highest need Of praise have
ever known a medicine to receive. The Volun
teer, William G.. Goodett, Esq is gentleman
of fine standing-an accomplished and well edaca-
ted man. and was recently
HIGH SHERIFF
Of this District. BY one Of your Advertisements
in Charesto on paper. happened to notice the To-
cation of your office, and thought you might ex-
tract an article of some value in regard to your
medicine, therefore sent the paper.
The following is an extract from the letter re-
ferred to above:
"My health is very fast improving I pre-.
cured few days ago, some Of Dr.. Wrights In
dian Vegetable Pills, and they have acted on my
system
Thus II appears that the brave and patriotic
Volunteers who have gone to Mexico, to defend the
rights and honor of their country, already begin
to realize the extraordinary value Of this incom-
parable medicine. Long life TO them!
HORRIBLE MISTAKES!!
Are sometimes made BY confounding.o one medi.
cine with another; and administering the wrong
article. Equally horrible are those mistakes
which are made in supposing that all Pills are
alike, and that therefore, it is Indifferent which
ire taken, and if one kind is bad al are bad to.
geher. This is very great mistake. There l.
| AS much difference betw een Wrights Indian Veg.
| etsble Pills and other articles, as between mid.
| night and MONDAY! We do not wish any one &c
take our word merely for this statement. Let any
| one, having taken other medicines, try this
| Nothing more will be necessary.
Many persons have been led AWAY BY COATING
OF SUGAR, as If they anticipated that it woult
remove the nausea Of the Medicine. But they
are generally mistaken. Without the SuGAI
those articles would have nothing to recon- memo
them, and would not be sold a single day. Bu
with the sugar, and by giving the article name
SIMILAR to Wrights Indian Vegetable Pills. they
gain temporary notoriety. Wolves they are in
sleeps clothing, Of whom the public should steer
sufficiently clear. ...,
Let it be remembered that WRlG GIFTS INDIAN
VEGETABLE PILLS are prepared with specia
| reference to the Ia VS. governing the human body
Consequently, they are always good, always use
full. always effective in roofing out disease. Eve
ry family should keep them at hand.
