WASHINGTON, Feb. y, 1856.
To the Editor Of the american Organ:
DEAR Sm; viii you permit me, through your
valuable journal, to state few facts for public con-
sideration2 It is conceded on all hands that the
great Democratic party has been built up by taking
care Of its friends and that that is the great secret
alone of the power which has been eliminating in
its ranks ever since its foundation till now the slum-
bering energies of great and free people have been
aroused, and that people are the great American
party, who have become Disguised with old party
hacks and old party ties, and henceforth are re-
solved to stand by the great principles upon which
Washington and his compatriots founded our gov
eminent. The knell, them Of old party ties being
sounded, 1t becomes a free people to dissolve the
political bands which have connected them with
the real enemies of our country, to build up this
great American party by taking of ia friends.
This being the case, then, how important in our
city affairs, first, that good and competent persons
should always be employedin Office; but, secondly,
that those persons should be selected by the APP
pointing power from among our friends.
Analyze, now, the proceedings of our Councils
believe the lower board to be q true exponent of
the principles of the party on this subject But,
view the vascilating course of the Aldermen. In
appointing committees, We often see majority Be-
lected from among our enemies. The chairman Of
some of our most important committees from among
our enemies, and that simple justice which is re-
cognised in all deberatiye bodies of appointing
chairmen from ameng our friends, and msjorities
on all committees is entirely lost sight Of We want
an Organ" to express our views at the seat Of
government We have such an one, inferior to no
other-one that is impressing itself upon our age,
and that viii stand up in after years, as great
beacon that protects us from the rocks and whirl-
pools of misgovernment But the Aldermen viii
not have 1t to publish the Corporation laws or do
their Advertising though the hitter can be done at
great saving to our city finances Believing this
all wrong, You will pardon me for thus trespassng
upon your time.

The Magic Name.
There is a name, whose very sound
Has power in me sad thoughts to quell;
And as sweet music in dream,
My soul il thrills--the name Estelle.
AS in his song the nightingale
Repeats the name he loves 30 we'll,
SO would wed with fame and song
The lovely name sing -Estelle.
Should disappointment's dismal gloom
My brightest, fondest, hopes dispel,
My tears, to prove its soothing charm,
Would dry up at the name-Estelle.
When, In dark mood, my spirit vexed
Would even friendly words repel,
Fen passion then would change to calm,
Lulled by the magic name-Estelle.
In lonely wilds, where trees are bare,
In rocky glens, where echoes dwell,
!, musing walk, and ask myself
What mystery in the name-Estellef
And if the name speak aloud,
Those echoes with the music swell,
And to themselves repeat it round,
As if they loved the name-Estelle.
Why does its sound so strangely charms
Does il all other names excelY
Or do all men rejoice as il
The sweetest music were--Estellep
Yet, 1t Is not the name alone
That makes the talismanic spell;
But love has linked my dreams of bliss
With one who bears the name Estelle.
No marvel at the empty sound,
Sweet thoughts should in my breast upwell,
No marvel that 80 many charms
Are clustered round the name-E stelle.
No, it's not strange tho name 10 sweet,
Nor need blush my love to tell;
For who, that having seen and known,
Would not, like me, adore Estelles
From realms of bliss above, methinks,
She has come down on earth todwell;
All, may she linger long, and make
To me more dear the -Estelle
But, should the angels take her sprite,
And, taking, wiring my fond hopes knell,
I'd love that fair form meath the sod,
And still feed on the name--Estelle.

an extensive TRIAL OF It's virtues
has conclusively shown with what success it
plishes the purpose designed 1t is easy to make
physical Pill but not easy to make the best Of all
Pillsone 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 re-
spectully submit to the public decision 1t has been
unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every
purgative medicine Is acrimonious and irritating to
the bowels This ID not Many of them produce 30
much gripping pain and revulson in the system as to
more than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them These Pills produce no irritation or pain I'M
less 1t arises from previously existing obstruction
or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely vege-
table, no harm arise from their in any guam
tty; but 1t is better that any medicine should be
taken judicousy. Minute directions for their in
the several diseases to which they are applicable are
have been speedily cured by them we may mention
Liver Complaint in its various forms Of Jaundice,
Indigestion, Languor and Loss Of Appetite, Listess-
ness, Irritabty, Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever,
Fever and Ague, pain in the Side and Loins for in
truth all these but the consequence Of diseased
action of the liver As aperient they afford prompt
and relief in Costveness Piles Collie Dysentery,
Humors, Scrofula and Scurvy. Colds, with soreness
Of the body, Ulcers and impurity of the blood. In
short, any and every case where purgatys is re-
quired. lf
They have also produced some singularly success
full cures in Rheumatism, Gout Dropsy, Gravel, Fry
Stomach and Side They should be freely taken in
the spring of the year. to purify the blood and prepare
the system for the change Of seasons An occasional
dose stimulates the stomach into healthy action and
restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the
blood and, by their stmulant action the oircula-
tory system, renovate the strength Of the body and
restore the wasted diseased energies Of the whole
organism. Hence occasional dose is advantageous
even though no serious arrangement exists; but
necessary dosing should be carried too far as
every purgatve medicine reduces the strength, when
taken TO excess. The Thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here but

and ii is confidently believed this pill will answer
better purpose than anything which has hitherto been
available TO mankind. When their virtues are once
known the public will no longer doubt what remedy
TO employ when in need of cathartic medicine
Being sugar-wrapped they pleasant to take, and
being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their
use In any quantity. e
