EINUE WILD CHERRY AND SARSApARIII

Il which, on the basis of this preparation, have
long been celebrated in Consumption and Scrofula,
Diseases Of the skin, Coughs, Colds, Splitting of
Blood, Asthma, &c Though thi. remedy has been
but short time before the public, yet it has gained
perhaps more charact~ and reputation as a cura-
tive in those diseases than any remedy of the day.
The Bishop Of the Protestant Episcopal church.
(thc Right Rev. w. II. Whittingham,) authorized
TO say he has used IL in his own person with de-
cded bcneft-Dr S. Harper, Of Kent Island, has
written TO us he has used Il with great in
his practice [sce his letter in the pamphlet And
in a letter from lady the Eastern Shore Of this
State, she says: 81 had a letter from Miss F.
ON Tuesday; she says mother has requested her TO
say, Isabel derived almost eous relief from
DR.. MARTINS SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY
Her dfsease was Consumption in its forming stage.
The BOonsborough odd Feilotc, Of Washington
county, Maryland, June goth, ls4s, says: when
article has afforded relief 10 so many persons as
DR.. MARTINS COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD
CHERRY has done, we feel bound 10 make il
kn0wn. There never was article in this coun-
try that has afforded relief and gave more satsfac-
ton than this. In the neghborhOod Of Brownsville
in this county, IL has effected several important
cures, and, from our own certain knowledge Of IT,,
pronounce it uncqualcd for the cure OF Coughs
Colds, and diseases of this kind"

TUIRTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
FIRST SESSION.
TUESDAY,, May 81.

TUESDAY, May 21.
In the Senate, Mr. Yulee's resolution in regard
to the invasion Of Cuba, was under consideration
Mr. Walker of Wisconsin moved an amendment
calling on the President to state also his authori-
tv for sending armed force to the island OF
Cuba, to suppress insurrection, or revolution
Mr. Yulee accepted the amendment, and then
addressed the Senate giving his views in regard
to the resolution. He argued that he consider
ed it the duty of this government to maintain ITS
neutrality in regard to the affairs of other ma
tions but if the President had ordered to the
coast Of Cuba, any armed force to interfere with
or repress any revolution or insurrection or
warlike movement, he had thereby Tin Mr.
Yulee's opinion) committed an act of usur rpation.
The President had right, he said, to arrest
any set Of men who might be the high seas
with an intention to invade fore gn power :;
nor had he any right to cut off their provisions
or relnforcements. To do in direct viola
tion of the constitution of the country, which
guarantees that citizen should be deprived of
his life, liberty or property without due process
of law. Even if an act violating the neutrality
of the country were committed within the U.
States no authority would dare arrest the often
der without due process of law; and yet an
American squadron is ordered to Cuba to seize
and arrest persons at the QlSCIetlOn OF tHe IOlI-
mander of the squadron. The commander of
that squadron ordered to cut off supplies
and reinforcements, directly in the face of the
the national law providing that two bellgerent
parties, whether of different nations of the
same nation, have the right to free commerce
for exporting importing reinforcements or
supplies. In attempting to interfere with this
law the President has undertaken to involve
the country in the danger of a hostile collision,
without authority.
