Opinion of DR.. J. B. Randall on The merit Of Wis-
far's Balsam Of Wild Cherry.
WE HAVE BEEN INDUCED in consequence
w Of the benefits received from this medicine,
to add testimony in favor of its extraordinary
healing properties. We take great pleasure in
stating that have frequently used it ourself and
administered it to others during the past year. in
cases of obstinate coughs, colds, soreness of the
chest, &C., and always with the most happy re-
suit. We therefore cheerfully recommend to all
afflicted with the above diseases to TRYthe Balsam
of Wild Cherry.
The New York Evening Mirror says: Wistar g
Balsam is still working wonders in curing the
most desperate pulmonary diseases. We have not
only witnessed its effects, but have seen great
many certificates, which place the efficacy Of this
invaluable medicine beyond all question. II was a
custom among the early settlers Of New England
to drink freely of Wild Cherry tea in cases of colds
and fevers. This tea made by sleeping the
twigs and bark of the Wild Cherry tree, and drank
freely morning and evening. The old Puritan
fathers used to regard il the soveregnest thing
on earth for all sorts of complaints and there
be no doubt but the Balsam prepared by Dr. Wis
tar is of the very best articles for consumption
that has yet been discovered"

The Richmond Whig makes some stric-
lures on our remarks concerning Executiv.
interference in New Mexico, and makes
some material mistakes. The Wing thinks
that we ought not to be astonished at thu
repetition in New Mexico Of what had been
done in California, not only by the orders Of
the present Executive, but by those Of Mr..
Polk to Governor Mason. Now, without
inquiring into the correctness of the charge
made against Mr.. Polk, we.beg to suggest
that we would not be at all more disposed t.

CAPT. IATTNALL AND THE CUBAN Ex-
petitions have already informed our
readers Of the arrival, in this city, Wednes-
day evening, Of Capt Tattnall, Of the U. IS.
frigate Saranac. He left the following
yesterday morning by the Railroad fo,
Macon, where, we regret to learn, his eldest
son, passed midshipman, is lying danger
ously i'll. He will return in few days, on
his way back to Norfolk, where the Saranac
is now lying.
It gives us pleasure to state, upon the
best authority, that the conduct Of Captain
Tattnall, in connection with the Cuban inva-
sion, has been warmly approved by the Gov
eminent at Washington. Not only the
Navy and State Departments unite in ex-
pressing their appreciation, but the Presi-
dent himself, m personal interview, re-
marked that he felt great satisfaction at the
manner in which he disposed Of the difficult
ties springing out of the invasion. These
difficulties were Of so delicate nature, tina,
the Government, at one time, thought o.
despatching special agent to Havana tc
adjust them. AS a further proof of the feel
ings Of the Governmental gives us pleasure
to add, in this connection, that one Of Capt
| Tattnal's sons, since his return from Cuba
has been appointed Purser in the Navy.
We have made this statement, not only
because Of the interest which we, in COM
mon with all oth.r Georgians, feel in the
fame of Capt. Tattnall as native of thi,
city and State, but in consequence Of the in
furious statements of Washington letter
writers to the effect that his conduct hat
been disapproved by the Government
Nothing could be further from the truth thar

Non-Intervention.

@-We publish to-day the speech Of Mr.
WOODWARD, delivered some two years since,
upon the relations between the United States
and their Territorial Districts 1t is directly
pertinent to the questions now under hot
discussion before the country, and is, per-
haps, better suited to the present hour, than
to that Of its delivery. Then, the Nicholson
letter, was in its glory; people ofthe South
ern States exulting in one construction Of it,
and the party in the North, in an opposite
constructio
BY reading this speech it will be seen,
that, Mr.. WooDwARD, at that early day,
discovered the drift--and scope Of the
scheme Of" non-intervention" as explained
and protested by our Northern friends. He
shows, that in their application Of it, they
sought to darken and hide most palpable
and fundamental legal distinction; that is,
the distinction between authority over the
!" question Of sldoery = and jurisdiction as to
the substance Of slave property" They
pretended, that if Congress could not take
Jurisdiction Of the question Of slavery in !
territory, It could not for that reason, pass
laws for the protection Of the rights Of citi-
zens in slave property there. Mr.. w. con-
tends on the contrary, that the more Con-
gress cannot cssume jurisdiction Of the ques-
ton of slavery in territory, the more it j,
bound to pass all laws necessary for the pro-
lection Of slave property; if it be true tina,
the Constitution has guaranteed the rights Of
citizens in such property, and the authority
to !egislate for the Territorial Districts be in
Congress. And he demonstrates, first, that
Congress has authority, subject to the lmi-
tations Of the Constitution, to legislate fol
these Districts; and second, that there. are
to be found in the Constitution, the most
ample guarantees, for rights in slave prop
erty.
And thenthese guarantees, he co..tends are
absolute, and wholly independent Of State
rights or State sovereignty; that they pass
directly, irrespective Of the States, from the
Constitution Of the Union to all the people
