AYERS. His Cherry Pectoral, everywhere
known as the best remedy ever offered to the
public for Cough, &C., has prepared them to

of one from such trustworthy source. We
happen to know and car assure them that this
article has Intrinsic merits, fully equal to any

The attempt of Mr.. Secretary Floyd toward
pacfcation in the cabinet has stirred mp strife.
The ire of Toombs, Sliiell, Bright, Fitch, w.
erson, and men of that school is aroused
against Douglas. They say they will let the
people come back if they will repeat, but
Douglas never. cannot better illustrate the
feelings of these men on this subject than by
stating conversation which occurred in the
white house not many days since, between one
of the senators named above, Ct will cali him
The general, i. is said, swallowed the Lecomp-
ton pill, but not without making a wry face.
He was thankful for the conference bill, be-
cause he views it as submission of Lecomp-
ton to vote of the people. He is now la
boring to re-unite the democracy. He met
Senator s. at the Presidents, when the sub.
ject of the Kansas conflict was talked over
the gist of which is as follows: n "
Generality the fight is over, we must
forget and forgive on all sides, and unite agair
and go right on the same as before. Those
who went away we must take back INTO the
fold again.'' 7..er1 @aa1 a#l 1sa a.a
Senator S.-(with good deal of irnpetuos

The conversation confined. at some length
