having experienced results of a salts
factory character from the use of Wis
tar's Balsam of WildiChcrry, in cases
of severe colds during the past two
years, am induced to express the full
faith | have in its renovating power.
/ was first induced to try his medicine

in connection with the strong recommen-
dation of a friend, which was we'll nigh
gone with consumption, and whose relief
from the use of it satisfied me of its
great value in cases of colds and decline,
and most clearly demonstrating, to my
mind its great value as a res torative
that only needs fair trial to insure a
grateful demonstration from the public,

Mr.. CoLLAMERs SPEECH This seems
to be quite the best thing yet produced
upon the Kansas question. With exact
intelligence it traces first the course Of
national legislation in regard to slavery
in the territories, and tho admission of
states, by which the reader has full
command of the character of the question
and the nature of the case. Then the
question itself is examined lucidly,
faithfully; candidly in presenting with
preeseness all its circumstances and with
distnctness and fairness asserting the
principles which ought to control it. No
better evidence naed be given than this
speech of the possession of talents aud
