ing to the newspapers Of that city, beef and
pork which has become SO much tainted as
to render it no longer merchantabIe, is pur-
chased, and ia prepared so as to divest it of
offensiveness and appearance OF decay, and
after such preparation, .acked and sent to
the market on the seaboard. One Of the
journals OF that city says this has become
an extensive and profitable business, but 1t
very properly condemns it as a fraud upon
the public. II undoubtedly is a fraud Of the
most infamous character, us the health of
every individual using such food must be
injuriously affected. II is nothing better
than pirkled poison, as Puirelaction, in
stead Of being removed, is only arrested by
the process Of preserving. The Cincinnati
press ought to mention the names Of the par.
ties engaged ia the fraud, that dealers should
avoid them.

8NNHNNT NNNU IT,
Weakness ofthe Limbs and generaldebility euredby
using the Oxygenated Bitters

BosroN, Feb. 10, $780, Msssrs Stinpson 4 Reed
During the winter Of 1850, Mrs. Stiles suffered
much from Palpitation ct the heart, weakness In the
limbs, and general debility. She consulted an emil
nent physician in the city, without obtaining. relief
On return Of summer, she left home to visit her
friends, with the hope OF recovering her heaithi but
neither the change Of air, nor the medical advice she
obtained while absent, gave her relief, and she re-
turned after an absence ofthree months, without re-
lief, and almost without hope. At this period, she
was advised to use the OxygenAted Bitters, and OBJ
tanned a bottle from you Before using It, she could
not walk the shortest distance without exhaustation.
After using the Bitters a week. she walked from the
Chelsea t'erry to Henry Pettes' store, on Washington
street, and back again, without Inconvenience. She
has used three bottles, and has no hesitation In say
ing it is the only medicine that has afforded her relief.

Paw PAW, Michigan, Nov 8. 1852, - Messrs. s. A.
Weaver & Co.-Gentlemcni-My daughter has been
troubled with cANKER AND SALT RuEUM for the last
year, and 1t increased day after day to that extent that
myself and friends became SO alarmodt that we thought
there must bs something done for her, or she must

did her any good but she rather grow worse-she
kept about until last May, and said she must give up

most skilful Physicians of the place attended her, and
no help could sho receive from their aid. II she took
any nourishment it would produce vomiting, her
hands aud face were completely covered with sores,
her strength had worn away, our friends and neigh

was no help for her, they could not do her any cool.

0TThe Washington Sentinel, a paper OPP
posed to the Pacific Rail Road and all o.
ther neutrality-suspicious. seems to think
the Presidents Message in exact accord
ance with its views. In speaking of the
message the Cleveland Democrat says:
"We will merely say of tho Message, at
present., that is is n weak, bombastic, old
fogy production. 1t is bold for the wrong,
but timid for the right.
"As a State paper, il is undignified and
vapid. Its author evidently aims to split
the ears of the groundllngs, befog the SEN
sible, and carry water on both shoulders,
on disputed topics"

THE PREsIDEsr's MEssAeE,--We have

"A" =
purposely refrained.up to this time, speaking
our opinion Of the above document, a docu.
ment which has excited the Indignation OF
a very large number Of that portion of the
public press which were loudest and most
arduous in their efforts to have Franiin
Pierce elected to the Chief Magistracy of
the nation. The message has been received
in silence bya portion of the Administra'
ton press, and those who were loudest in
their flourish Of trumpets on his accession to
the Presidency are now "hushed in eternal
sleep.n HIS silly and narrowly contracted
efforts to control the local politics of New
York which was undoubtedly intended as a
precedent had il not been for the voice of
condemnation which reached his ears from
all sections Of his party and threatened to
overthrow his Administration, only prepar-
ed the public mind for the reception Of his
message and IN are surprised, therefore,
at his narrow policy in regard to most Of the
great affairs Of the nation and his perfect
neutrality or non-eommittal in regard to
others.
He evidently plnmes himself upou his
views of the question of Internal Improve
ments, and the most chronic ABS fractional
can draw abundance Of comfort from the
Message on tbis point. His views upon this
question is evidently unchanged and his re-
concentrations sre in exact accordance with
his votes in Congress. He entirely dis.
c~ourtenuncrs appropriations from the Trea'
sury Of the United States for works Of In
ternnl improvements. He even throws 9
doubt over the JefFersonian view Of the
question of constructing ronds within terri
tories, for although admitting that the Con
gress under JefTerson's administration EEK
ercised the power Of constructing road
within the territories the most he can say
in its favor, Is that such exerc Sc Of poweI
"has never been considered subject to sucl
objections as apply to the case o. "makinI
roads within the States" With respect l.
the Pacific Railroad project the Presiden
uses very guarded language-the lnnguag
of the d%emogogue who is afraid to com
out with a positive aye or no. We are yer,
sorry indeed that the great and vital domes
tic policy OF the nation should fall into sue
narrowly contracted hands.
The Message is totally destitute OF a mark
ed and impressive character for good to th
country, and bears, throughout, the lahore
efforts Of the politician, and altogether
characteristic Of the author-a kind Of
MIGHT'VE bombastic production, lacking tn
views ofthe patriot aud statesman.
The Kosta affairs is briefly introduced ,th
facts being stated us heretofore understood
The message does not contain an "ultimu
tum' either Austrian or American upon tn
subject. The thing has undoubted eddy "whit
tied out" Kosta is said, at the time III
paragraph was written, TO be on his wa
to the United States. He hassince return
ed, landed at New York without demon
stratior, aud passed through Baltimore, IN
detected the other day. We suppose he ha
ere this thanked the President for his heac
and may now thank him for a paragraph i
his message.
