The One Man Power.

As we predicted, the President has We.
toed the Land Appropriation B:il. Tie in
teres.s of the North are again trampled un-
der foot to please the South. Althc ugh the
representatives of the great majority Of the
people of the nation enacted this law for
she common good of the producers of the
lrnd; yet they in I'll their wsd m were
nj TO be CONF ared to JAMES BUcH-
An! They may err, but he, in his infal-
ioie wisdom, never. Why the necessity
of Congress at all, if it is to be ruled by
one man! When the President has the in
tsrests of one section at heart, TO the excr-
siun of all others, it makes the power
dcubly aggrayating.

A Public Singer Cured of Bronchitis
of Long Standing.

PHILADELPHIA, May II, 1853.
Dr.. c. NJ. JACKSON: DEAR SIR. Thanks
10 your Hoofand's Balsamic Cordial. am
now, believe, thoroughly cured of that
soreness in the throat which has distressed
me for so many years. YOU may no, know
that am mainly dependent on my salary as
leader Of a choir for subsistence. About
eight wears ago. first felt aeakness in
the throat, which. as supposed it was but
temporary, gave me ~ uneasness. But it
soon became so painful as to incapacitate
me, for time, from filing my situation.
therefore desisted from all vocai exercis es
for month, when my throat became bet
ter. Resum!ng again, the soreness return
ed with increased violence. now had re-
course to medical advice, and afterwards to
several advertised remedies, with bu: slight
effect. Despairing OF cure, relinquisIIed
my situation, and had turned my attention
to other business. when one OF your crrcu-
lars fell into my hands. | determined to
try the Cordial, and bought bottle with
that view. | could not see that was. any
better, after taking it, yet determined to
persist. accordingly bought second land
soon after third bottle, by which time
felt so much better, that, thosgh could
scarcely afTo.d it, determined TO purchase
a half dozen. When had taken the sixth
bottle. felt that was cured, and / have
taken no more since. Six months have
passed away, and | have felt no return of
the disease. have resumed my old situa-
ton, and the future looks bright before E1e
I think you are entitled to this certificate
it is at your service. Truly yours,
C. s. GARRETT.
Ask for Hoohand's German Bitters, and
take nothing else. See that the signature
Of G. M. Jackson,is on the wrapper of each
bottle. These Bitters are manufactured by
DR.. c. M. Jackson, No. AIS Arch Street,
Philadelphia, and are sold by druggists and
s'orekeepers in every town and village in
the United States, Canadas, West Indies
and South America, at 75 cents per bottle.

The Postal System.

The Democratic economists OF the pres.
ent day are loud iu the demand for an in
crease Of postage. We have often charged
that this party knew no interests but those
of the South, and this is but another evi.
dence. The South will receive the advan-
tage at the expense of the North. The
rssasnre will no, succeed, but, 10 let the
people know what they are to expect, we
notice this fact, In the Nurtern States
the Post Office Department is nearly self.
sustaining. In the South it lacks two and
q half millions. This two aud half mil.
lions The Democracy would make up by an
Indirect tax ppoL letter writer's IN The North
IF ths franking privilege was abolished. the
aessrtcen. would be entirely self-sustain-
ing 10 the North, aid nearly so in the
SoutL. 1'he following from an exchange
shows the injustice of the measure. The
latest accessible figures thus represent the
fiscal year ending Juse 90, 1857:

ACCIDENT AT THE TURNER'S HALL.-About
nine O'Clock, yesterday morning, the vicinity
of Walnut and Allison streets was thrown into
a considerable state of excitement by an acci-
dent that occurred at the Hall of the Turner's,
which is situated near the corner Of the streets
above named.
The house is being torn down to make room
for another and larger structure of the same
nature, and some persons who were at work upon
the upper story were precipitated, with part
of the floor, through the entire building to the
ground. 1t appears that the beam which sup
ported the joists Of this story was very slight
and they, by becoming to a certain extent dis
placed, broke it, thus causing the accident.
Those who were at work above escaped beinl
wounded, with the exception of few sligh
scratches, although, when we think of the ma
ture of their fall, this fact seems somewha
miraculous. But Jacob Diehl, superintendent
of the workmen, and man named John Jae
ger, who were standing Immediately beneat
the mass that fell, were injured quite seriously
Their wounds were principally upon the head
side and back, but none Of them were of sue
a character as to render it at all probable tina
they will prove fatal.

ADJUSTMENTS.

NATIONAL THEATER.-There was fine
Barry Sullivan's Hamlet we have already
spoken, and we can only repeat what we have
said. 1t is, we doubt not, his best part, and
those who have not seen him in it have missed
treat, of which the like will not be presented
to them soon again. Tonight, Bulwers beau
tiful play of the "Lady of Lyons" will be pre-
sonted, with Mr.. Sullivan as "Claudo Mel
notte," and Miss DeCourcey as the lovely and
loveable "Pauline."
WOODS THEATER.-Thes spectncles which
have of late been presented to the habitues Of
this place of amusement have been paying
the management finely. Tonight another, in
which he has surpassed himself, if we may
trust his advertisement, is to be produced. We
do not doubt but that "Cinderella" will please,
and we know the sparkling comedy of "a
Husband for Half an Hour will provoke to
mirthfulness the most blase who witness them.
PIXIES OPERA HALL.-The sale Of seats
for the entire season of the Strakosch Troupe
will take place on Saturday morning, at nine
o'clock, at the box office, and at IL o'clock for
the first, second and third nights. By refer
ence to our advertising columns our readers
will perceive that the prices have been so grad
uated as to give all who may wish to witnes,
the performances of this really magnificent
troupe an opportunity to do so. We have NJ
doubt, from present appearances, that Their
will be a rush for seats such as has not beef
witnessed in this city since the Jenny Lin,
. mania. The management have apparently lef
, nothing undone to make their rendition of thei
repertoire such source of amusement as will
linger in the mind as pleasant reminiscenc
: long after the performance Of operas, in tn
\ metropolis Of the West, has become of as fire
quent occurrence as in Paris; and for this rea
+ son we arc glad to perceive SO great disposi
: tion on the part of our citizens to repay hir
o for his enterprise with their patronage.
