We have frequently had occasion to
remark upon the manifest injustice of
the Press of the City of New York, in
sighting and neglecting to give our
State the credit and position which be-
longs to it, either commercially, agri-
culturally or politically. AS recent
instance, we notice the New York
Courier and Enquirer, in estimating
the incoming wheat crop, goes on to
speak of New York, Pennsylvania Vir-
GINA, n. Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, and then makes a
general estimate of the rest as "other
States" Michigan, confessedly, one
of the best, and in proportion to popu-
lation, largest wheat growing States,
is cast in under the memorable summa-
~ of "other States" She is not wor-
thy of "mere mention" in the list of
distinctive wheat growing States. Is
the Courier and Enquirer striving to
initiate the Tribune in its attempt to
yillify and impede the onward progress
of Michigan? To people who under
stand the facts, such thrusts evince an
animus of very debasing character.
we are glad the people are awaking
rap to this matter, and that their opin-
ion will be expressed in the decreased
subscriptions of such papers in our
State, the next year, and until the
Press of New York. can deal us, at
least, even handed justice.
Appropos to the above we subjoin
she following, an extract from letter
Of friend, partner of one of the lar
sgest wholesale Houses in the city,
LANeIEY, SHELDON & Co., 80 Warren
St, Mbose card is in our columns. He
zsthorsughly acquainted with Michi-
gan and its resources, and his opinion
is worth that of an army of n. Y. edit
ors. The following is the extract:
> In the Money article of the n. Y.
Herald, June Sd, it said ave learn
from Michigan that the prospect for
crops never looked better, and owing
to their being mostly chattel mortgag-
Gu. s .,.e;, will come early to market. "
Agreater SANDER was never perpetra-
ted. knew the statement was false
at the time, yet / took some pains to
post myself on that kind of papers,
and found in several instances, that
not more than one acre in every thou
sand of the growing crops were in that
condition. The farmers of Michigan
owe the merchandise do the farmers
of every State, at certain times, owe
the merchants of their State; but /
doubt if under the sun, in this wide
world, you can find more solvent, in
dependent, and you may add, intelli

but learn them from business connec
tons and travelling. The credit o
Michigan merchants and farmers is thu

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Asue,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfec
certainty that it will eradicate the disease.
and with assurance founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use i'll any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Ireuenti,a is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks q
this baleful distemper. This "CuRE" expel-
the miasnatic poison of FEVER AND AGuI
from the system and prevents the dcyclGp-
ment of the disease, if taken on the first APP
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t i
not only the best remedy ever vet discover. d
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
a dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AeUE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within Tie
reach Of all-the poor as well as the rich. a
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and Ger
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and .Agueis not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
BLINDNESS, Toothachc, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection Of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Colic,
Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach,

the blood, and consequently cures them all

Z OF all the charms dear women wears.
OF all her many traps and snares,
9 For real effect there's nought compares
- With the truly pretty bonnet;
For when or wherever you chance to meet
One that is perfectly modest and neat,
You may depend It's proof complete
That the head has more in il than on it.
No matter whether she's pretty or not,
How much or how little money she's got,
Whether she live in a mansion or cot,
IT'S fact, depend upon it; ~
The woman to make a man happy thro' life,
To make model mother and wife,
r. one who, scorning the milliner strife,
Wears plain and tasteful bonnet
Now bonnet of genuine beauty and grace,
Worn on the head in its proper place,
Swallowing family the wearer's face, ~
SIS thing for a song or sonnet"
But one Of those gay and gaudy things,
Made up of rainbows and butterfly wings,
- mixture of flowers, ribbons and strings,
L. dreadful, depend upouit.
A vulgar mass Of I" fuss and feather"
A little of everything thrown together,
As if by touch of windy weather,
wretched conglomeration-
A sort of cup to catch the hair,
Leaving the head to Ego it bare"
A striking example of Nothing to Wear"
IL this bonnet abomination.
II makes women brazen and bold,
Assists her in catching nothing but cold,
Is bad on the young, absurd on the old,
And deforms what it ought to deck;
( For look at her face, no bonnet is there,
See at the side it hangs by hair,
View it behind and you will declare
That the creature has broken her neck.
No matter where you may chance to be,
No matter how many women you see,
A promiscuous crowd or certain she,
You may fully depend upon it;
That gem of the very rarest kind,
A thing most difficult to find,
A pet for which we long have pinned,
I q perfect glove Of bonnet"
