Gout, Humors, Nervousness. Irrtabi'ity, lnRamma-

less but effectual Cathartic freely uscd.
No person feel well while a costive habit of
body prevails; besides, it generates serious and
often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided
by the timely and judicous use of good purgative.
This is alike true Of Colds. Fcvcris symptoms, and
Bilious arrangements. They all tend to become or
produce the deep seated and formidable dstempers
which load the hearses oil over thc land. Hence
reliable family physic is of the first Importance to
with consummate skill to meet that demand. An
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Profess
BOTS, and Patients, has shown results SURPRISING
any thing hitherto known Of any medicine. Cures
have been effected beyond belief were they not sub.
stantiatcd by persons of such exalted position and
character to forbid the suspicion Of untr,,th.
Among the many eminent gentlemen who hnvc
testified in favor of these Pills, VIC may mention
Prof. J. NJ. LOCKE, Analytical Chemist, Of Gin
cinnati, whose high professional character is en-
dossed BY

AMERICAN GALLASTRY IN FRENCH EYEs.-A
Monsieur d'Alembert has lately published q
book of his experience in America. One Of
his chapters is on the spontaneous galantry
of the Americans towards women. After
witnessing it, he exclaims.
81 am profoundly Inundated | blush to
the roots Of Inv hair. know not where to
hide myself On the faith of tradition had
hitherto believed that the French people were
the most gallant people in the world. Every
thing supported this conviction. Songs,
ballads, the good opinion we generally enter
tain of ourselves, and the error of foreign
people, who say from habit, EGallant as a
trenchman.'n
After owning that it had decayed very
much in his native land, he had come TO the
conclusion that in other nations at least gal
lantry, like chlvalry, was dead he, however,
discovered that he was mistaken:
"A profound error which have recognized
with shame and surprise Gallantry is not
dead. 1t has deserted Europe, but has taken
refuge III the nited States.

have seen true gallantry universally prac-
ticed, spontaneously, disinterestedly. There

cause she is d woman because she is, or will
be, the mother of II citizen. IL good thing

their power, they abuse it as tyrants do who

Col. Fremont, Kansas Affairs. &c

BosroS, April 9.
The Atlas this morning contains a letter
addressed by Col. Fremont to Mr.. Robinson
the Free State Governor of Kansas, which
the latter haded in Yesterday for publication.
The letter is dated. New York, March H.
The body Of it il rs follows:
'sThe Banks ballotting in the House, and
your movements in Kansas, had naturally
carried my mind back to our one hundred and
forty odd ballots in California, and your let
ter came seasonably and fitlv to complete the
connection
ssWc were defeated then, but that contest
was only an incident in great struggle-the
victory was deferred not lost You have car
ried to another field the same principle, with
courage and ability to maintain it, and /
make you my sincere congratulations on
yoar success, incomplete so far, but destined
in the end to triumph absolutely.
II had been waiting to see what shape the
Kansas question would take in Congress that
might be enabled to give you some views in
relation TO the probable result. Nothing yet
has been accomplished, but | am satisfied
that in the end, Congress will take efficient
me 4sures to lay before the American people
the exact truth concerning your affairs
Neither you nor can have any doubt what
verdict the people will pronounce upon the
truthful exposition.
sit is to be feared, from the proclamation
of the President, that he intends to recog-
nize the usurpation in Kansas us the legiti-
mate government, and that the seditlon law,
,the test oath, and the means taken TO expel
rs people as aliens, will all, directly or ndi-
rectly, be supported by the army Of the Uni
ted States.
ssYour position will undoubtedly be diff
cult, but you know have great confidence in
your Grmness and prudence. When the crit
lcal moment arrives you must act for your
self No man can give you counsel. A true
| man Viii always find his best counsel in that
| inspiration which good cause never fails to
! give him Mt the instant of trial.
ssAll history teaches us that great results
are ruled by wise Providence, and We are
| but units in the great plan. Your actions
will be determined by events as they present
themselves aud AT this distance, can only
say that sympathize cordially with you, and
TINT as YOU stood by me firmly and eener-
| ously when we were defeated by the MULTI
ers in California, have every disposition TO
stand by you in your battle with them in
Kansas.
"The notices which you had seen Of me in
connection with the Presidency, came from
the partial disposition Of my friends, who
think Of me more fiatteringly than do of
myself, and do not, therefore, call for any
action from u.s.
~ An honest man is believed without an
oath, for his reputation swears for him.

Leaf by leaf thu roses fall,
Drop by drop the spring runs dry,
One by one, beyond recall,
Summer beauties fade and die
But the roses bloom again,
And the spring will gush anew
In the pleasant April rain,
And the summer Il sun and dew
So in hours of deepest gloom,
When the springs of gladness fail,
And the roses in their bloom
Dfoop like maidens wan and pale,
We shall find some hope that lies
Like a silent germ apart,
Hidden far from careless eyes
In the garden Of the heart.
Some sweet hope to gladnesa wed,
That will spring afresh and new,
When grief winter shall have fed,
Giving place To sun aud dew
Some sweet hope that brcathcs of Spring,
Through the weary, weary time,
Budding for it's bloss0ming,
In the spirits silent cline.
