p u L M 0 MIC SYRUP,
For The Cure Of CONSUMPTION,

The proprietor Of this medicine was himself many year
ago. red uced SO low be given up by his physicians and
friends, in the last stage Of Consumption When all hopes
Of getting well had fed he strongly fecommen-
ded to syrup made from old Indian receipt which
,ucceedrd in eircay curing him. The family ply sicans
and large number Of respectable gentlemen certified 10
the facts ri this case, and the Pumonc Syrup OBJ
tanned reputation equaled in this section of the
Country Creating, as his did sensation second
to that only of miracle, Dr. Srhenck waited upon by
many similarly afflicted to whom he ADM pistered the
Syrup with the same beneficial results In fact such was
the nutority of this medicine, that eminent practcng
physicians bad their attention drawn towards the rising
reputation of it, from having witnessed its curative pow
and freely extended the haRd Of friendship and en-
enlargement to Dr. schenck and introduced the medicine
to the public, and used it in their daily practice.
No other medicine operates upon the system in the
manner that the Pulmonic Syrup does. 1t produces

Mr.. Beebe'S Letter.

We publish on our first page the letters of
Roswell Bcebe, Esq, President of the Cairo
and Fulton Railroad Company. to the Chair
man Of the Internal improvement Commit
tee of the Senate and of the House of Rep
resentatives, to which we invite attention.
We do this that our readers may see for
themselves the questions propounded to Mr..
Beebe by the Chairman of the House CON-
mittee' and his replies to them, and because
neither the letter of Mr. Beebe or the va
rious articles in the True Democrat" meet
our main objection to the lands being trans
ferred to the Cairo and Fulton, OF any other
company, without guarantee
1t Is not from any fear that the lands will
be squandered or misapplied that we think
a proper guarantee is so imperiously de-
manded, for that has been judiciously and
wisely guarded against by the act of Con-
gress making the donation. But it is from
fear In our opinion no less to be dreaded,
that company that is unwilling CT unable
to give substantial guarantee of their abil-
Ity as we'll as their willingness. to construct
in reasonable time. at least a portion of
the road, may permit the lands. by lapse
of time. to revert back to the general gov
ernment.
In the present depressed condition of the
money market,-and we see no prospect
of speedy change for the better,-no SEN
sible man will believe for moment, that
single mile of the road can or will be built
from means derived from the lands. Would
1t not be folly then for the Legislature to
grant these lands to any company, without
guarantee on their part, that they had the

The knOvv-NOthings in CONGRESS

Eihe knOE-NOthings in Congress-.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.
The Know Notbings have entered Con-
gress in an imposing manner Mr.. Sellers,
of Maryland, led the cortege this morning,
with bills and resolutions looking to the es-
Enlistment of their principles in legislation
and official appointments. They gave rise
to an important and suggestive debate. and
a struggle began. which lasted through the
day, and ended as a drawn battle The
subject is still pending Already, though
no member of the present Congress was
elected as Know Nothing, the party seems
to have majority in the House
A popular feeling exists against the ap-
pointment of Soule, Belmont and Owen,
which l think will compel their recall -
There was not one member who spoke to-
day except Witte, of Penn, who did not re-
fer to them as improper representatives of
the country abroad
This new question will derange all party
calculations: and will submerge many exist
ing issues. The acutest OF the democratic
politicians admit that it will have its run
until after 1856, but after the Presidential
election of that year they predict an imme-
diate disruption of the organization This
is very encouraging view of the case for
the Know Nothings who would probably
compromise with all opponents on the sue
cess now promised them.
There was one point in the days debate
which was very striking. Several members
opposed the resolutions with much vehe-
mence, but none of them called the Know
Nothihgs hard names None of them abus-
ed the new party as gang of cut-throats
asSassns of the constitution, and so on. No
one, in short, INDUCED in that abusive slang
against Native Americanism and its princi-
ciples, which formed the staple of the denun-
Citations of the Washington Union, previous
to the late elections. Power compels re-
Speet, and strength is wonderful corrective
of insolence
