BEWARE OF IMPOSITION

The greater the value Of any discovery, the higher
it is held in the esteem of the public, and so much in
proportion is that public liable to be imposed upon by
the spurious limitations OF ignorant, designing and dis
honest men, who like the drone in the hive, have ne
the ability nor inclination to think provide for
themselves but thrive and uxurate upon the earnings OF
the deserving.
The extraordinary success attending the use OF Dr.
Wstar's Basam OF Wild Cherry in diseases OF the
lungs, and the many singular cures it has effected,
have naturally attracted the attention of many phys
clans, well as the whole fraternity OF quacks-and
caused unprinciped counterfeiters and imators to
palm off spurious mixtures, of similar name and ap-
pearance Of the genuine Balsam. Some are called
Syrup of Wild Cherry and Tar" Cherry Syrup"
" Compound Syrup Of Wild Cherry Wild Cherry
G;omrey,' and sundry other compounds; to which
they attach long string of pufts" But Of such
rums we know nothing 1t is Wstars Basam of
Wild Cherry alone that performs the cures Let them
not deceive you. The genuine signed |. BUTTS.

Mr.. EWING renewed it. He said the vote on this
amendment has now become matter OF vital lmpof-
lance. So long as opposed by the main body OF

fuses to answer whether he will ever vote Tor the adj
mission of slave State, and says he is IN favor OF APP
py wing the principle of restriction OF slavery over the
territories until their admission as to prevent the pos
sbility of slavery, the question assumes different as
pect The people of Tennessee sir have been, and
now in favor OF the principles OF the COMPROMISE Bill
They are now moving unanimously and harmoniousy
in its favor. They sought almost alone, to have its
propriety recognised in the Southern Convention. They
are essentially for harmony, Cancellation and UNION
l. sir have supported this this floor but
is time now to understand the North, before commit
ourselves rrevocaby to this adjustment We wish not to
misunderstood be misunderstood; we do not wish the
concessions Of that BILL like Dead Sea fruit, to turn to
ashes on our lips"
The principle OF intervention in the compromise
bill MEANS that upon the application of the territories
for admission States, they shall be free to enter the
Union either as free or slave States, they may deter

promise bill has wrought its work in its other provisions
that then tc have death struggle for rights

than idle. We were warned the other day that when
Mexican territory about to be acquired the South
duly notified that it ever admitted States into
the Union they must come in free. Now | want
such notifications; or if made, wish them
placed upon the record limo slave States be
received into our Union then the contest is over the
door OF Cancellation is closed you drive from your
doors, although we retire in the deepest sorrow at the
unfortunate result would fain hope that this decla
ration will not be made and in that strong and earnest
faith, emil upon the North to support this amendment
and rescue us from impending danger

THINGS AT WASHINGTON


We invoke the attention of Southern Wings
to the following letter from Washington, explain
ing the peculiar position of affairs in the House OF
Representatives, and the manner in which the in
fuence of the Cabinet is exerted to procure the
defeat of the Compromise bill. When we say
that the author is perfectly competent to testify to
the facts he discloses, and is gentleman upon
whose statements full reliance may be placed, our
readers will be convinced, by his representations,
that it is time for Southern Wing sentiment to be
understoodat Washington. We have, for some
time past, been persuaded that the greatest dan
ger of no satisfactory adjustment being adopted by
Congress, arises from the obstinate persistence Of
the ma jority of the Cabinet in urging Northern
Wings to stand by the Presidents most unfortu-
nate recommendation. Our correspondent shows
10 what fatal effects this unjushfable influence
may be exerted, and will undoubtedly lead, unless
material change of views on the part of the
President, shall happily overthrow the designs of
his advisers The matter will be rendered still
more clear, if we consider the present relations Of
parties in the House, which is now divided fol-
lows:

the Committee of the Whole last rose. The fol-

The obstinate course OF the Northern majority
tends to induce in the most temperate Southern

controversy in Congress will produce feeling of
