- SARATOGA July %, 1856.
DEAR SIR: did not receive till last evening your
note of the 18th instant, addressed to at Balti-
more, and covering your card to thepublc, in which
Nunco of the Pope at Madrid and myself, about
the appointment of Mr.. Campbell as a member of
the present Cabinet at Washington. If had sooner
seen heard of the contents Of your card Ishould
have deemed it my duty to reply at once to that
portion of it which refers to myself and to this mat
ter. =: '-u@ - -. r..:e r. EY... q :. 49,,
You are mistaken as to the purport Of the
marks made to by the representative OF the Pope
at, Madrid. 1T acas not that he knew beforehand
that Mr.. Campbell aoould be appointed and as a
member Of the Cathohc Church, or that me kne@
anything about 1T before the appointment cas actuat
ty M tde. What have said, and what repeat is,
that before had any certain news Of the formation
of the Cabinet, and while its constitution was still
in doubt and the subject of conjecture in the pub
lie mind at Madrid, he told me that Mr.. Campbell
was appointed, and that he Catholic; which
was the first information / had of either fact w
Tdid notat aUsupposs that he had nny previous
knowledge Of intention to appoint his gentleman
to o171ce or that he kneo, had any reason to be-
leue it scas done, I'M pursuance OF any bargain or
intrigue to this effect, on the part or any person
;aoAdtsoerer. 81 - s.5+ 20 90 ~. -
The inference made was, that the appointment
of Catholic to this high Office, being, naturally, a
cause of much interest and satisfaction to the Church
of that faith especial pains had been taken in some
( quarter to communicate the, earliest intelligence
Of that fact to the leading of the Catholic
priesthood. - - q. ,s.s..'' -.
+ It is proper to add that having seen in Raleigh
papers brief and what appeared to he an imperfect
report of the speecb recently made in Washington
by the Hon. Kenneth Rayner, in which there occur
red similar statement, though somewhat different
in detail'from that contained in your card and in
which my name was quoted as authority, II took
the earliest opportunity tile 18th sastant to- write
him note for the purpose Of correcting The e'rone
Gus impressions achich might readily be made on
the public mind hopere1 ea intent ioaaly from such
reference to easias conversation IN social inter

FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A

THERE has long existed a public demand for IN
effective purgatiye pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has,
sfss is 81 fts 4 sffdes has e6scfdssely shown with
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed
1t is easy to make physical piu, but not easy to
make the best of all pills s-one which should have,
none of the objections, but all the advantages, Of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. It has been unfortunate tor.
the patient hitherto that almost every purgahve
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow.
els This is not Many of them produce SO much
gripping pain and revuision in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good TO be derived horr
them. These pills produce no irritation or pam,
unless it arise from previously existing obsuuc-
tion or arrangement IN the bowels. Being purely
vegetable no harm can arise from their use IN any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are sP
plants which hare been speedily cured by them, We
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of taundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss Of Ap-
petite, Estlessness, I-ntabihty, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain IN the Side
and Loins for in truth, all these are but the eon-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an
sperient they afford prompt and sure relief IN Cog.
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood in short, any
and every case where purgatiSe is required: -
They have also produced some singuiarly sue.
Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains m the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
takenin the spring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
tite and ygor. They purify the blood, and, by Their
stimulant action on the circnlatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies Of the whole organism.
Hence In occasional dose is advantageous, even
2 though no serious arrangement exists; but uil-
necessary dosing should be carried too far,
as every purgatiye medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases IN which
q physics required cannot be enumerated here but
they suggest themselves to the reason of ever,

answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public viii no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need of q
cathartic medicine Being sugar-graPped they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no
harm can arise from their use In any Quantity.
