hitherto prevented its administration IN many
diseases Tor which il is particularly adapted The
usual Anodns Oyfraadf OF prescribing II, enher
in the form OF an Emulsion or GelatInous Cap
sues has not been found satisfactory, beng liabs
to some objection, either from the difficulty expe
rienced by some individuals IN the deglutition oil

orally found in the Emulsion.

win the National wings support mr.. Fill
prnr

Tha New York Commercial Advertiser, in an
article ou the subject of Washington Hunts posi-
ton. in which it 10 asserted that he will take no
active part III the next Presidential election, and
also that the National Wings will probably make
no nomination, thus remarks on the probable
course of that party:
IL we assume that there is TO be no regular Wing
candidate in the 6eld it must follow, We conceive
that the main body OF the National Wings will give
their support To Mlllsrd Fillmore, the only alter
native consistent with principles and duty. They
will support him ON high national grounds, not as
partsans, but patriots not because OF, but not
withstanding, his nomination by the American
party They will be governed by their own views
without adopting the American cause or enlisting
under its flag. Many Wings, who have not always
concurred with Mr.. Fillmore on subordinate ques-
tions, viii sustain him now from conviction that
he is honest patriotic and conservative, and that
the government will be safe in his hands. They
know him to be sound on the great questions OF
public policy, which animated the Wing party in
ths days of its strength. They know him to be
true 10 the Union and the peace Of the Union; !;
willing to sustain the just rights Of both sections
not willing to encroach upon the rights of either
In his election all the great interests OF the coun-
try will have the surest pledge for peace, modera
ton, and stability To him both North and South
can look with confidence, to strengthen and not
to sever or weaken, the political ties which unite
the country. We are aware that he is denounced
for signing the Compromise bills of 1850. But
Wings win remember that Taylor and Fillmore
were elected in lS48, under distinct pledge to
give full effect to the action OF Congress. Neither
of them could have vetsed the Compromise, with
out dsgraceful violation Of principle and honor.
That Compromise gaze eatension to Slavery in
fact and the departure from it by the present adj
mnstration has been the fruitful source of dscord
and calamity. Those who denounce Mr.. Fillmore
for his action, would be powerless for evil if
the measures established during his administra-
ton had been faithfully adhered to.
