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 th. remedy has been
bat short time before the public yet it has gained
perhaps more character and reputation as a cura-
tive in those diseases than any remedy Of the day

say Isabel derived almost nstan ncous relief from
DIR. MARTINS SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY.
Her disease was Consumption in it's forming stage
The Boonsborough odd Fetlotc, of Washin eton
county, Maryland, June Goth, lS4s, says: "When
article has afforded relief to so many persons as
DR. MARTINS COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD
CHERRY has done, feel bound 10 make il
kn0wn. There never article in this coun-
try that has afforded relief and gave more satisfac-
tiOn than this. In the noighborhood of Brownsville
in this county, it has effected several important
cures and from our own certain knowledge of il,
we pronounce il unequalled for the cure Of Coughs
Colds, and diseases of this kind"

UNION MEN In SOUTH CAROLINA.

The unanimity of South Carolina in favor OF
discrganizing measures seems 10 have been only
apparent. Union paper has lately been started
in the State, and her most eminent politicians
arc coming out openly against Disunion or Sc
cession. General Hamilton, Of Notification men,
DRY, Messrs Grayson, Petigru, Waddy Thomp-
son, and Joel II. Ponsett have scverally issued
powerful manifestoes in favor of maintaining the
Union. Mr. Poinsctt, speaking Of that wild alb
stracton, Southern Confederacy, says
"Such Confedcracy would present no barrier
world. The sympathies Of civilized Europe are
against our institutions, and IL they be not pro-
tected by the Constitution and the much-despised
Union, our slaves would not be worth ten years
purchase. la such a CoDfederacy, how many
causes Of discomfort would occur How could
we, with habits Of eternal agitation, be satis-
fed with our station In it Our relative import
ance in the Southern Confeieracy would dimin-
ish every year, unless we could change our habits
altogether; and instead Of deyoting all our ener-
gies TO political agitation az we have done for the
last twenty years, turn our minds TO the promo
ton Of commerce, manufactures, and easy commu-
nications by land and water from the interior TO
the coast But, under the lead Of South Caro-
lima such Confederacy will never be formed
We are unfortunately not renowned for our wis
dom or prudence, and our invitations and our
taunts will be alike in vain to drive our sister
States into measures Of violence for the past
