HoIopny's PMs and Ointment-1roid
Lmposture As there may be counter
feits in the market. it is we'll to know
that there is a protection to the purcha-
ser in the Water-mark that exists in
every leaf of the genuine book of direc-
tions, viz, the words, "HoUooay, Nc,c
York anc Londom," which can be seen
in the paper itself on being held to the
light. In external inflammation there is
an unnatural rush of blood to the part
affected. The effect of the Ointment is
to dispense the local fever. The Pills
relieve the system through the bowels OF
all morbid and irritating influences.

The Forthcoming Messagc.

The special Washington correspon-
dent of Col, Eorney's- Press says, it is
rumored that Mr.. Buchanan, in his first
annual message to Congress, will take
bold ground on the currency question 4;
that he will re.afirm the principles laid
down SO clearly in his celebrated speech
on the Independent Treasury Bill. He
believes that it was the intention of the
trainers OF the Constitution to establish
a h%ard-money currency, and that the
action of Congress since has been a stea-
dy departure from that intention. 1t
will be his object, then, to rctrace the
false steps taken, and to bring the Gov
eminent back to the true ground. s
The issue will be made in the next
Congress, whether State banks have Ii Tit
coHsttRUnstfowgr TO issue circulating
"promises to pay There will be q
large party to take the negative of the
argument; who will not, it is said, yield
until a decision has been given on the
question by the Supreme Court of the
United States. A general bankrup,
law for the banks will be presented fol
action. This will provide a fixed lega
course for ting into liquidation in
solvent banks all over the Union. -

The Late Constitutional COmVcn-
ton i'm Kansas.

The Washington Union of Wednes-
day has an article on the late Constitu-
tional Convention in Kansas, in which
it'warmly approves of the action of the
Convention IN submitting the question
of slavery to the people for their deci-
sion, and says that all serious trouble
and danger about Kansas affairs are
now over, and that "another State will
soon be added to our Republican con
stellation. Among other things, it
says: .. .
"The members of the Convention are
entitled to be held in everlasting re
membrance for adhering to the great
truths of the Democratic creed in the
midst of temptations which the virtue
of most men would have been too weak
to resist. They were exposed to the at
tacks of ultras on both sides. The per-
suasions of one and the taunts Of the
other were alike calculated and alikeiin-
tended to influence them in favor of a
wrong decision. 1t is not often that a
representative body is found pursuing
the right when its friends and enemies
are both inviting it into the wrong
There are some names in that Conven.
ton which we shall delight to honor"

From Our Own Correspondent.
HAVANA, June 90, 1857.
The slaye-traders have felt great remOrse at hav-
ing used the Duchess of Sutherland for their
nefarious traffic, and wish to blot out the remem-
brance of the act by sending out a vessel by the
name of James Buchanan. They have purchased
an American schooner, named her after our actual
President and she is now re6tting in this port for
the Coast of Africa. One of the parties engaged
in the transaction cunnrngly informed me that she
would clear for Boston, but as happened to pass
near her the other day, and observed heaunches of
rice, rum and lumber alongside, l naturally con.
cuded that her destination would be other than her
owners with to be supposed. The publication of tho
names Of parties engaged in the business has put
stop to the sale Of American vessels to our citizens
ID this port, and they chartered by irrespOn
siDe parties for some South American port, and by
ths means elude the suspicion of the letter writer's.
"o'uo' however, again urge on your attention
the law IN reference to the sale of vessels to Ameri-
cans IN foreign ports. If this law is 30 modified
that the sales can be effected, and the purchaser.
he'd 10 the old bonds before the American Consul,
much good will be effected, and many of our can.
tains will be deferred from engaging in the ala va
trade. As the case stands at Present, we furnish
nearly all the men and vessels to the Cuban dealers
and this under the sanction Of our laws. The con-
sequence is that these vessels will nearly all reach
this island again without being overhaulcd by
the English cruisers, for they never attempt TO
stop one of our vessels without positive evidence
OF her being Il SLAYER. Ii is Notifying, also, to an
American to hear the Spaniards boast of the faci-
ties afforded by our insufficient laws to procure
rood vessels and plenty of men wherewith to cheat
tie English cruisers This should not be, and

is passing in this island will induce our

COLLECTOR ScHELL AND THE New TARFF-fes'
terday Collector Schel entered upon his duties, and at

large Quantities Of goods were entered 80 payment OF
duty, and before shutdown nearly half million of dol

est assurances of Executive favor and Secretary Cobb
has sgnifed the determination of the Administration
to leave him perfectly free" to make the Custom
House appointments over 900 in all, without let or
bindrance from any quarter-a mark Of confidence
very unusual in the Secretary Of the Treasury.

"Mr. Schell is, as all his acquaintance know, pol
itican a lawyer and gentleman. As lawyer, he has
been member Of one Of the Oldest most successful
and respectable firms in the city. As gentleman, he
is favorte in every social circle where he Is known
and politician, his fame forever associated with
the c, theological battles in which he himself came
near losing his head, and the parties to which, both

But beside being politician, a lawyer and gen.
tlenan our new Collector is philosopher Of the most

rains may pour ard the whole battery OF bis political
opponents may be directed upon him. but his pheg-
naiic composure resists it all. 1t fails to ruiiie the
settled equanimity of his temper. As an illustration
of this an anecdote is told of an editor of we'll
known Journal in this city, which, after the late Presi
dental election, became a convert to the political
opinions entertained by Mr.. Schell. The editor, on
hearing of Mr. SchelPs appointment, repaired to the
new Collector TO apologize for certain inadvertent
personalities in reference to the future Collector which
