VIEW OF WASHINGTON CITY AND
GEnRGETOVVN.

WE are indebted TO the publisher, Mr.. Casimir
w Bohn, of this city, for splendid photographic
view of the city of Washington and Georgetown,
and the adjacent country, including, upon the
Margin particular representations Of the important
public buildings, and other objects of interest in the
city and vicinity. The view seems TO have been
taken from the terrace at the Capitol and embraces
the whole range of Pennsylvania avenue, and the
remaining portion of the city westward from that
point. II is very correct and very faithfully exc
cuted. II is altogether superior TO any view
Washington and its vicinity which we have ever
seen. 1t forms a beautiful and pleasing picture,
and will be deemed very desirable ornament for
the parlor. Il is work involving great labor on
the part of the artist and considerable expense on
that of the publisher, which trust may be amply
remunerated by liberal and generous patronage
on the part of the public. II may be had Of Mr..
Bohn, the publisher, at his stand at the Capitol and
probably at the stores Of the booksellers in this
city Union. Feb. 26-T&S4w

The Territorial party have also published an adj
dress, in which they set forth the following among
other objections 10 the course recommended by
their opponents
1.-THE Constitution of the United States expressly
declares that new States may be admitted. by the
Congress into this Union, but no new State shall be
formed or erected within the jurisdiction Of any
other State, nor any State be formed by the juno
ton OF two or more States, or parts OF States, with
out the consent Of the Legislatures Of the States
concerned, ms well Of the Congress- From
which il must be apparent 10 all, were Texas alone
concerned, that at this time the admission Of New
Mexico as n State could not be effected. Texas
claims a portion Of the aDccnt territory Of New
Mexico, and New Mexico rcssts the claim. Texan
limits have not been accurately defined. Congress,
in her treaty or compact with Texas, reserves TO
itself only the sole power Of deciding the bounds Of
Texas with other powers; her interior or domestic
limits cannot, therefore, be settled by Congress
without the sanction Of the Legislature Of Texas;
and IL follows, that New Mexico can have bounds
joining Texas until compromise of claims 10
quicsced in and affixed by the Texan Legislature,
and the Congress of the United States on the part Of
New Mexico.
There is, however, at this time, another insur-
mountable obstacle 10 the admission Of New Mex
leo a State governmcnt--our treaty supuatons
with Mexico The line Of demarcstion is not yet
definitely fixed between Mexico and the United
States, and cannot be fixed until after the final
ton Of the commissioners appointed under the
treaty TO regulate that question.
" The only results that can be effected by agi
tating the question Of State government will be,
il hearkencd TO by the people, tendency to post
pone the action of Congress on the subject OF the
territorial government we have asked for, and per-
haps leave where are for an indefinite period.
u, on the contrary, the people are true 70 them
selves and their real interests expressed in con-
venton and treat the efforts Of the faction with the
GOODNESS mcrited by all who are influenced more
by the hope of personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT than the
good OF the community, Congress must admit the
steadness Of their views and principles, and its
favorable action will consequently be more speed
lily elected"

REMEMBER, the only original and genuine Wis
ars Ralsam of WIN Cherry was introduced the wear

REMEMBER, the only original and genuine Wis
tars Balsam of Wild Cherry was introduced in the year
1885, and has been well tested in all the complaints for
which it is recommended. For years it has proved
more efficacous a remedy for Coughs, Colds, In
fuenza, Bronchitis, Asthma and Consumption in its in
cpient stages, than any other medicine.
Seth w. Fowle, Druggist, No. 1873 Washington st.,
Boston, Mass is the sole proprietor of the original
cept for the manufacture OF the genuine medicine and
supplies both at wholesale and retail, and OF whom
agencies can be obtained.
DR.. VIM A. Shaw says, I wish heartily success to
your medicine consider every case of arrest of the
fatal symptoms of pulmonary disease as direct tribute
to suffering humanity and so hopeless these cases
generally that physicians always justified in using
any remedy which has sgnaly benefited others. One
thing is certain the public always have guaranty that
patent medicines will generally be sustained only just so
long they we'll prepared and continue to relieve
or cure"
In more recent letter he says" As Wistars Balsam
OF Wild Cherry is the only patent medicine to which
have ever given my public recommendation / shall not
be suspected by the candid of giving rash or preptate
testimony to what have seen and heard of its eff
fecs."

DEPoPULATI BY CHoLERA-The Natchez
Free Trader, of the 9th utimo announces the
entire depopuation of the thriving village of Tr-
nifty, in Louisiana about thirty miles distant from
Natchez. 1t says:
That awful scourge, the Asiatc cholera, de-
seconded upon the population with fatality almost
unheard of. Ten Or twelve physicians, resident
there, or called in from the adjacent country,
were scarcely able to save patient who had been
taken sick Flight was the only safety for the
well, and death only reigned in Trinity. Mr..
Snyder, formerly resident of Natchez, kept a
boarding house there with twenty-five or thirty
boarders, all of whom who did not run away died.
MIR. Snyder staid and took care of them until
the last one died, then descended to the mouth
of Red River, and we are sorry to add, that he
too died on the steamer Cincinnati going to Nat

THE CONVENTION BILL.

The Fincaste Democrat objects to some fea-
lures of the Convention bill, but says:
"Wh all the imperfecons which this bill does pos
sess, there many for remodellng our or
ganic law that shall not hesitate to support it. On
the plan proposed, we shall certainly get rid of many
ntrmitiesin present political systen-we shall also
get tangible basis of representation not be To-
Gated in grand divisions Of the State, but which be
re-apportioned from time to time by the Legislature"
The Lexington Gazette thinks there is little
doubt that the Convention will be called by the
people. That will depend chiefly on the vote of
the West A considerable majority will doubt
less vote for the call in the East.
