1t gives me pleasure to add my testimo-
ny to the virtue of your great medicine. -
One of my blooded horses had a swelling
over the cap of the knee, about the size of
a hens egg. Some said it was strain, and
some, that it was the joint water from the
knee, and could not be cured. tried oil
cedar on it, and all the liniments and oint-
ments, and they did no more good than wa
ter. | then by persuasion of my friends,
tried III. G.. Farrelps Arabian Liniment,
and was happy to find it take effect after
few days, and it finally cured the noble
animal entirely think it is decidedly the
greatest Liniment for horse as well as hui
man flesh, ever knew.
Esq. Barker, of New Canton, ILL.,, says:
Mr.. H. G.. FanelPs Arabian Liniment has
cured some bad cases here, which every
other remedy had failed in, one was white
swelling and contracted cords in the leg of
a boy twelve years old. The leg had with
cred away, and was so contracted that he
had no use of it. Three doctors had tried
their skill upon it in vain, and he was fast
sinking to the grave, when the boys father
was induced to try H. G. Farrelrs Arabian
Liniment. Before the first bottle was used
up he came into Mr.. BIS store, and the
first words he said were, "Mr. Barker, /
want all that Liniment you have in the
store; the one bottle got did my boy more
good than all that had ever been done be-
lore. That boy is now well and hearty,
and has free use of his legs. 1t is good for
sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings.
Being fully satisfied that H. G. Farrelrs
Arabian Liniment is the best medicine in
the world, | cheerfully recommend it. l

General Cass.

In the remarks made by General CAss
in the Senate on the 18th instant, as re-
ported in the Union of February -, 1850,
occurs the following passage
The stars and the stripes would have still been
the pillar of fire by day. and cloud by night, to
conduct gallant countrymen to that home
whose associations neither time distance could
weaken or sever"
In the Bible it is written oAnd that
thou goest before them, by day in a
pillar of cloud, and in pillar of fire by
night"
General CAss's opinions, to his party
friends, will really prove ga cloud by
night" 1t will not be seen a great way
off and as ga great change is going on"
in his mind, his cloud can be either like a
whale or a weasel, to suit the latitude he
is talking for.
But General CAss probably means ''the
cloud" for :" all the world" and the pill
lar of fire for I" the rest of mankind"

that these documents are designed to fur

is, that they are very rarely printed until

In February, 1847, Mr.. CALHOUN, in
the Senate of the United States, offered a
series of resolutions, among which we
find the following:
q Resolued, That il is fundamental principle in
in our political creed, that people, in forming a
constitution, have the unconditional right to form
and adopt the government which they may think
best calculated to secure their liberty, prosperity
: and happiness; and, in conformity thereto, no
other condition is imposed by the Federal Consti-
tuition State, in order to be admitted into this
Union, except that its constitution shall be re-
publican' and that the imposition of any other by
: Congress would not only be in violation Of the
Constitution, but in direct conflict with the prin-
: cipe on which our political system rests
The Union Of the 9Th February, 1849,
the policy of admitting Califor
MIA as State, says:
"The South denies that Congress has any juris-
diction the subject of slavery, and contends
that The people Of the territories alone, when they
: frame a constitution, preparatory to admission
into the Union, hare right to speak aud be heard
on that matter This fact being settled, it really
seems to as that this erciting question might be
speedily adjusted, if calm counsels prevail. The
: South contends for her honor, and for the great
principles of non intervention and State equality.
JVhy, then, cannot all unite, and permit California
9 TO come into the Union she can frame a
constitution? Then, according to the doctrines
which prevail on both sides of Mason and Dixon's
line she may constitutionally establish her do
mestic institutions any basis consistent with re-
publican principles. The South could lose nothing
BY adopting this On The contrary, she ,coud
save all for ,riach she contends.'' 4

In the Senate, yesterday, the joint res
olution for limiting the expense of collect
ing the revenue, as amended by the House
of Representatives, was passed, with pro-
viso authorizing the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury to dispose of, lease or retain the
bonded warehouses, at his discretion. A
message was received from the PRESIDENT
of the United States, enclosing copy of
the constitution Of California, as received
from the hands of the Hon. WILLIAM M.
GwTN, Senator elect; and motion was
made by Mr.. BENTON that the subject be
referred to select committee, of which
Mr.. CLAY should be the chairman but, as
the motion could only be entertained by
unanimous consent, and Mr.. FooTE hav-
ing objected, the subject was laid over
till tomorrow. The Senate then resumed
the consideration of Mr.. GAYS compro-
mise resolutions 4; upon which Mr.. DAVIS,
Of Mississippi, addressed the Senate, but
had not concluded his remarks when the
Senate went into Executive session after
which that body adjourned.
In the House Of Representatives., mes
sage from the PRESIDENT, enclosing
copy of the constitution of California,
having been referred to the Committee of
the Whole, on motion TO reconsider,
the vexed question was again debated by
Mr.. STANTON, of Tennessee, and others
Subsequently, the Senate's amendment to
the resolution for limiting the expense of
collecting the revenue was concurred in,

Al present the Apacbcs are continually modest

themselves hostile to the Americans. A mining
party Is now engaged in working the celebrated

about one hundred and eighty miles from Fl Paso.
Several large and very promising silver mines have
been discovered, and were creating great excite
ment on the American side Of the Rio Grandc near
