priest, Viii, as minister from Walkers

our nation INTO the flibustcr scale il.

Then the river and harbor bill, which he
mas vetoed, is being passed, each item in
separate bill he can't veto one Of these
without ineurring the hostility of the re-
gion in question, and so he wavers. Then
the national convention worries him con-

vexation, to such a follower of crooked
policy. On the last news from that quar-

occur at this time, and in Kansas, as els

Romanisln in Mexico.

Our readers are probably well aware
OF the recent disturbances in Mexico rel.
ative to church property, or rather the
posse ssions of the priests. Nothing now
in this pricst-ridden country constitutes
SO great an impediment to the progress oi
the country, as the immense power pol
itical and religious of the clergy. Those
who from profession should stand in the
very van Of progress and reformation. true
to their nature here as elsewhere, are the
chief obstacles in the way of every form of
of advancement.
The treasures and riches amasscd by
the clergy in Mexico are immense. In
fact they may be said to control wholly
the capital Of the country. Ard how is
this immensity Of wealth in their hands
employed :: In the support ofpublic ed
ucation, in fostering national industry, in
succoring ,ndigence, in establishing char
liable institutions, or in fact doing any
thing worthy of the gospel missions =
Not at all Absolutely nothing of this
kind is recognized But these vast treas
ures. dead to all general good, are en-
ployed only in securing the means of
gratifying their own app.tites and pas
sions, in turning into their dwellings the
channels of luxury and sensual enjoyment
and in promoting discord and civil war
wherever the spi,it of intolerance to their
despotism seems manifest. They never
fail to lavish their money upon the party
which defends their interest This fact
is evident in the history ofall past rcvo-
lutions, and hence it is almost impossible
for any administration which does not
suit the clergy to succeed. Hence the
jnstness and propriety of con6scating
this unjust accumulation of wealth, and
OF restoring to the people that which has
been iniqutously extorted from them
II is not bold attack upon propc ty,
but simply the removal and annihilation

During Her Majesty's residence,

The practice of all the schools, SO far
as relates to Consumption, has been, till
within few years, melancholy failure.
The failure has been so notorious and so
general, that many are disposed to doubt,
even now, whether any genuine cures have
been effected. And all are prepared to
admit that if there have been any. they
must have been effected by some recent
and new method.
One thing is certain, that quacks have
never discovered remedy for this fearful
destroyer Of human kind. And human
nature being what it is, we might con-
clude beforehand that any successful
mode of cure would not find irresponsible
men attempting to supersedc it by some
new experiment Of their own. SO much as
to initiate the genuine 1t is the genuine
coin only that tempts the counterfeiter
If any doubt could remain that my
method Of inhalation is the great remedy
for pulmonary Consumption, that doubt
ought to be removed by the fact not only
that it has been approved by men of the
highest professional eminence, but that a
multitude Of practitioners, numerous as
the frogs in Egypt, and some of them
about as intelligent and useful, are pro-
claiming their wonderful skill in the use
Of it, or Of such an imitation of it as they
are capable of producing.
No intelligent and fair minded physi-
clan will accuse me Of arrogance when
claim to have made some important i'm
provements in treating Pulmonary and
Throat Diseases, and also in the construo-

for such purposes. But, to the public
