IHE DOUGLAS WAR TO GO oN-WILL THE CAB1-
NET BREAK UP-CoBB VS. BucHANAN.
[Erom the Washington Correspondence Y Times
The bitterness with which the President con.
tinues the war against Douglas, is not likely to
conhne its operations to Washington; and there
is little doubt that every effort is making. and
will be made, here, to insure his defeat before
the Legislature of Illinois, as candidate for re-
election. 1t is fully apparent that there can be
no truce between Douglas and Buchanan. One
or the other must be broke down, before the con-
test can end.
Win the Cabinet break up? The question i
asked every hour here, by gentlemen who con
cur in your views of the anomalous relations
which the President and Mr. Cobb bear towards
each other. 1t isno secret, now, that the Presi-
dent desires to interpolate his advocacy of spe
cltic duties into the Treasury Report-that Mr..
Cobb absolutely refused to permit ANYTHING of
the kind, and that Mr.. Buchanan swore the bic
oath that it should be done OF Mr. Cobb should
go out ,''
In such a contest, of course, the Secretary
triumphed. If he had resigned and so ended
the Squabbie, it would have relieved the Presi-
cent amazingly. But Mr.. Cobb don't belong to
tne School OF Tesgning politicians. Indeed resig-
nahonls the only Christian virtue in which the
Secretary is VIGOROUSLY deficient Besides lie
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS his chief. and he knew
therefore, that the chances were an hundred to
one against his remoUiRg a Cabinet officer for
anything less than murder. So bold stem re.
|quires nerve. ~
The result is that the President and his Sec
rotary stand looking each other in the eyes like
a couple of beligerent game cocks, who have
Pecked away at one another until both are out
OF wind, and are waiting to see which of them
jublant. ''''''''' al

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

il a constitutional disease, a corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomcs vitntcd,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
peryades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of il. No organ is fIee
from its attacks, nor Is there one which il may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is yariously
caused by mercurial disease. low living. dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the ycnreai infection. What
ever be its origin, il is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation :" indeed.
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, " 1
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerOus matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gend5rs in the blood, dcpresses
the energies Of lifc so that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power 10 with
stand the attacks Of other diseases eonse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys. brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
Ono quarter Of all our people are scrofllous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by il.
To cleanse il from tho system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigoTate it by healthy food and exercise.

There is now an old man in the almshouso

spent sixpence day for drink, but was mover

A gentleman who heard the statement was
somewhat curious to ascertain how much this

sixty years.

words

others allowed him week. and a few others
gave him two weeks but the landlord knew
him best, and said he was good stuff, but at
