Tins to consumption every year from no other cause
than neglected colds; yet find hundreds, nay thou

ference, and let them for weeks and even months

whaty you consider slight cough or cold; you allow
business pleasure or careesness to prevent your giving

For influenza tits the very best medicine in the world
Be not deceived, remember that spurious limitations
and other preparations OF Wild Cherry abound through

Kanal0ha Senatorial District.

In this Wing district, which has, for four years
been misrepresented by Democrat, Ward, Wing,
is probably elected over Carr, Democrat Ac-
cording to returns in the Kanawha Republican, of
May lst, Ward gets 80 majority in Kanawha, lO5
in Cabel, and SO in Mason Carr, IL in Putnam,
and about 65 in Jackson-makng Wards majo-
rty SO far ll2. The other counties are WAYNE,
Logan, Boone, Wyoming, (new county,) Fayette
& Nicholas. A correspondent of the Enquirer
states that Wards majority in Cabell & Wayne
is 200 IF this is correct, there is little doubt of
Wards election. The Kanawha Republican says
"Mr. Wards majority thus far is 200," (nstead
of ~, as we make it from the returns given by
that paper0 and adds
The other counties of the district will in all proba-

The New York Express quotes part of the remarks

The New York Express quotes part Of the remarks
made by Judge Robertson at the recent meeting in
Richmond, and adds the following comment:
"Ths speech comes from one ofthe temperate men
OF Virginia, and it will be seen that mediation
there is not miled. There is, however, lesson to be
learned when such men speak at home, and stand be-
tween the two extremes of Northen abolition and
Southern disunion. We are startled little with the
and persons for persons" We apprehend if any thing
serious is done that ine the South will have to be
the first aggressors for stealing and stealing pro-

err sometimes as to their rights, thy may omemes
err as to their duties but negro stealing is de.
Tended here, practiced here. Bad men may occa-
sionally break the law, but the law abiding community
are In the majority and ready to sanction what the law

Mr.. Richie on the Nashville Conpentioo

The Charlottesville elersonan Republican publishes
the following card tseems that the senior editor of
the Union is in favour of the Nashville Convention
In his paper he does not take that ground his Southern
ism being counteracted, we suppose, by Bundelcund's
Northern affiliations The resultant is, never ending
appeals to the universal Democracy to make them
selves national party, and indscrminae rejoicings
over Democratic victories whether obtained by Free
Soil coalitions not the whole lavoured with untirne

WASHINGTON, April %, 1850
To the Editors Of the Charlottesville Jefersoaian
My DEAR SIR However little my opinions NAV be
entitled to respect yet deem it my duty, wherever
am falsely quoted upon any question of great interest
TO correct the error.
am told that Col T. J. Randolph stated to the peo-
pie of Albemare. at their meeting Court day, that

made but was entirely incorrect. conceive il to be
the right OF the Southern States together for the
purpose of conerrng upon their mutual rights and of
stating their mutual wrongs-and that it becomes their
duty exercise their rights providing against actual or
threatened aggression This duty becomes the greater
as the movement mas been commenced lest their change
of purpose would be misconstrued into indifference or
tmdity, unless the meeting should be superseded by
satisfactory adjustment OF the question by the present
session OF Congress.
We engaged in most anxious effort to settle the
whole agitatng controversy by fair and honorable
COMPROMISE. There Is some hope that it may be ar
ranged before the LIST Of June-but in the mean time
hold to he the duty OF the South to organize their de-
putations to the Nashville Convention.
sure need notrepea to you my devoted attach
ment to the Unon as well as to the rights othe States
and my sincere conviction that the Convention would
meet, not to dissolve, but TO save the Union.
Mr.. Stevenson has so clearly this matter forth.
that it is unnecessary Tor me to enter into the reasons of
my opinions.
With great respect and undminshed regard as in
Aud Lang Syne, remain, dear sir, yours truly,

GENERAL JEssUP.-We are inclined to think that
Gen Jessup in the Alvarado investigation has made a
great fur pas. He went out to Vera Cruz as Chief
Of c. Nj d., and of course subject to the orders of
General Scott
In his testimony he states that there were confiden
tial instructions given him by the President OF the
United States at the time, requiring him to every
means to reduce the expenditures OF the Government
by forcing the enemy TO supply the immediate neces-
sites of the army He suggested this due to his po-
ston as well as that of others.
Can it be possible that the President Of the United
States had a confident in the army more fully in the
secrets of the Government than the General in Chief
1t has been said son. Y. Express.

The COMPROMISE" Ion,' of the Baltimore Sun
sketches follows the probable plan Of opposition
the Union bill
Mr.. Benton has avowed in his speech, to exhaust in
opposition to the measure, which connects California
with any other subject, every which parliament
ary axpedents will afford. Mr.. Seward has made
his pledge alsono in speech, but publicly as is said
that he will beat the breath of the comprom Sc in
the Senate and, after it has passed by only two OF
three votes, he will it strangled in the House Of
Representatives. But, if Mr.. Seward has no more
strength for combat, than he has logic in argument
he will waste no breath but his own. He is no Solo
mon--that is certain. We shall see whether he is a
Sampson
The plan will bein the House, when the bill adjus-
ting all questions respecting the government of the
territories acquired from Mexico shall come before
it, to that it be laid the table at once; as was
done by the House, motion of Mr.. Stephens, in re-
gard to the Clayton compromise bill. He give the
compromise the coup de grace at once, the Seward
plan Its not the administration, plan, and shall
see how many administration men will vote for it.
BY the way it is said and believed that promi-
nen friends ofthe compromise, have had interview
with General Taylor on the subject, and that he has
given them every necessary of his approba
ton of any that will give quiet to the country
and restore to Congress its capacity for deliberate and
useful legislation

The N Herald publishes letter which purports
to have been written by Sir H. L. Bulwer to Mr..
Chattield, in Nicaragua If genuine, which we can
not think, it is sufficiently curious. The minister re-
Dukes Chafeld for being "too go-ahead" but assures
him that Mr. Squlers conduct is disapproved at WASH
ington. OF the administration the letter says at is
however, weak government, and being suspected by
the popular party is afraid of seeming in favour
OF any policy that is unpopular. Thus though its in
entions may be trusted, its course cannot be relied

of Ten or Fifteen Millions consideration for the
surrender of her claim to New Mexico. Buthe impor-
