DIR. Martins Syrup OF wild Cherry and sar-

i 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 this remedy has been
but 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.

(the Right Rev. w. r. Nottingham authorized
us to say he has used it in his own person with de-
cided beneft-Dr. S. Harper, of Kent Island, has
written to US, he has used it with great success in

The Boonsborough Odd Feilotc, of Washington
county, Maryland, June goth, l64s, says: "When

DIR. MARTINS COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD
CHERRY has done, we feel bound to make il
known. There never article in this coun-
try that has afforded relief and gave satisfac
ton than this. In the neighborhood of Brownsville,
in this county, it has effected several important
cures, and, from our own certain knowledge of it,
pronounce it unequalled for the cure of Coughs

Mr.. WEBSTER has placed himself on
high ground by this speech. He will be
assailed for it by the fanatics and Free
Sellers, but the great heart of the Ameri-

pulsations. We are too great people
our country is too broad and magnificent

sectional spirit. More than this-we

ers which the triple coalition can bring to

MIR. HilIiard.

The Courier DIES Etats- Unis, the able
and influential organ of the French popu-
lation in this country, published at New
York, notices Mr.. HILLIARD's letter to
the editors of the National htelHgencer
in the following terms:
ga Representative who enjoys deserved in
huence at the South, Mr.. HILLIARp of Alabama,
has among others just put forth note of warn
ing, to which no prudent man should be deaf. De-
voted without exaggeration TO the Interests which
he represents, but also profoundly attached to
the Union, MIR. HILLIARD is one Of those concilia-
tory persons whose voice should command at
tention during the present crisis. A letter adj
dressed by him to the National btelIigencer
depicts tie existing condition of affairs in traits
whose truthfulness cannot be questioned He
brings back things to their just proportions; he
states the grievances of the South, as well as the
aggressions of the North. He exhibits the aims OF
the latter, and, without boast or threat, he
points out, in terms of gravest import, the perils
which the Union must run on that day when the
South shall be driven to open resistance by an in
fringement of her dearest interests. MIR. Hill
LARD thinks there is patriotism enough in the ma
jority-that is to say, among his opponents-to
prevent matters from ever reaching THIS extreml-
ty; but he wishes them to stop at once on road
where every step taken is fault and TO the end OF
which they will not themselves be bold enough to
advance.
''The Representative from Alabama is nobly in
| spired when he holds this language. twas thus
| that Washington spoke when he put his political
friends their guard against reports of monarchy
which were in circulation among them. Take
care wrote he to John Jay, in thinking of a
| thing; people finish by speaking of it, and from
that they proceed to action and then every barrier
is overlcaped.' Congress ought to have paused at
the first part of this sautary counsel, and never
permitted the word 'disunion' TO be heard in its
halls But now, when ii is too late, and this fatal
word has been pronounced, we must at least stop
on the declivity for fear that public opinion may
come TO be familiarized with the idea, and may
some day or other make the last step which sepa-
rates the word from the action

wv 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 ofnterest 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. IL is very correct and very faithfully exc
Washingto and its vicinity which we have ever
seen Ii forms beautiful and pleasing picture,
and will be deemed very desirable ornament for
the parlor. 1t is work involving great labor on
the part of the artist, and considerable expense on
that of the publisher, which we trust may be amply
remunerated by liberal and generous patronage
on the part of the public. It may be had of Mr..
Bohn the publisher, at his stand at the Capitol, and
probably at the stores of the booksellers in this
