THE OXYGENATED BTTTERS.
Reliable Testimony.

We call the attention Of The reader to the olIowing
letter from President Smith, formerly Of Wesleyan
University, and nor Of Annapolis, Md.
MIDDLETowN, Conn., Feb. %, 1850.
SETH w. FowLE & Co. Gentlemen IL first
made of the Orygenated Btters
eight years since. Having suffered for twenty years
from form of dyspepsia which attended with
nervous headache, average of not less than
day in week, was induced by the unpretending rec
ommendation Of Dr. Green, " to try one bottle, and if
no benefit received to discontinue the use.''
The of one bottle warranted further trial. the
extent of three four, with careful observance
of the accompanying directions. The result was, an
almost entire relief from the usual dyspeptic symptoms
and their depressing, painful consequences. believe
these Btters produced entire change in the habits of
my system, and upon the active energies of the digestive
organs now deem myself as exempt from Dyspepsia
as persons. These Bters have also been Of
vice to other members of my family.
Very respectfully yours,

GENTLEMEN: Yours of the 9th was received.
As to the result Of the Guano on all my wheat,
can say nothing definite because of its destruction
by the fly and other causes. Early in the spring
it looked better than my neighbor's and gave pro-
mise OF first rate crop. think under ordinary
circumstances the Guano would have paid WE'LL
1t was used at the rate of $50 lbs. to the acre-the
land was poer. also tried your Guano on corn
this spring (the last time this land in corn it
was hardly worth gathering)-I used the Guano
in three ways: first ploughed in about 800 lbs. to
the acre; next, put half small handful in each
hill; next, mixed the Guano with three times its
bulk of marsh mud, and applied handful to the
hill. One of these methods is good as the other,
so far as see. Without one of them don't think
will be, till my land gets rich. The corn v here
this was applied has fine color and is eighteen
inches or two feet higher than where the manure
was put. Respectfully,
EDwARD A. WEIGH.

GENTLEMEN Your letter of enquiry relative to
the American Guano, came duly to hand. Alb
sence from home prevented an earlier reply
used Ypur Guano on wheat, and at the time or
dered it, intended to give it full and fair trial
beside of Reese's Manipulated. Inclement wealth
er in part disappointed me, preventing the sowing
of the wheat upon which it was used till the 23d
of October, while that upon which Resse's was
used was put in before the 18th. Notwilhstand
ing this disadvantage the American Guano made
its mark. and the wheat that escaped the fly and
frost had better head and finer grain than that
produced by the Manipulated, and believe, had i.
been put in as early as the 18th of October, the
yield would have been greater.
do not, however, consider the grain producing
qualities of the American Guano its greatest re-
commentator. In its adaptation to grass lies its
highest value; the clover on the land upon which
1t was used, is far superior to any portion of the
field standing the drought much better and grow
ing more kindly.

Cincinnati daily press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1860-1862, 1860-09-27

The majority Of voters in any of tho slave
States are non-slaYeholders. Does any man
pretend that they have the right to de-
siroy the slave property by legislation? Yet
they have just as much right now as the
people Of State have, at its formation.
There is no such right. Yet this right is
recognized by the ultra pro-slavery party in
the South, as well as by the Douglas party In
the North. It illustrates the insanity Of the
rising politicians of the South on this ques-
tion, that the.section which threatens to dis
solve the Union, if party unfriendly to
slavery carries the Presidential election,
clings to o principle which places all the
slave property of the South in the power of
a numerical majority. OF course, this posi-
tion, like that of squatter sovereignty, is
only temporary, and like that, will, when the
time comes, be abandoned and denounced as
incendiary, and as demanding secession from
the Union.
We repeat: property of any kind, once re-
cognized by law, can not be destroyed by
law; it can only be left to die out according
to its own fate. 1t can no more be voted up
and down than the farms and cattle of the
people. The very proposition that the peo-
pie may hold slaves, if they SO vote, recog-
nizes the right of property in man; for the
vote creates no property, it merely recog-
nizes it, and this recognition makes it supe-
rior to legislation, just as other property is.
And when a man comedies that the Consti-
/
tuition recognizes the right to hold slave
property in the Territories the same as other
property, and then pretends that the people
have the power to vote this property out Of
the hands of the owners, he has either pur-
posely suited the question to the device OF
the little joker, or he has yet to learn the
alphabet of craftsmanship and of legal prn-
| ciples.

General Walker Red,vivu-.

Our dispatches this morning inform us
that General Walker has not been shot, as
was enormously reported. Although we had
some hopes on this subject, and endeavered
to rest them on a substantial basis, by writ
ing the obituary of the 'gray-eyed man Of
destiny we feared for the much-to-be-
desired result. Villainy, as history and
daily observation show, act as a kind Of
phylactery, and the greater the scoundrel,
the less the probability of his demise.
God chastens those he loves, and Satan
protects his own. The Devil never betrayed
the soul that trusted him, and hence
Walkers gTeatly-to-be regretted escape.
1t was Friar John in Rabelais-was Il
not2-who first said those born to be hanged
will never be drowned. Walkerhas proved,
those destined to dangle at ropes end viii
never be shot.

Street Railroad Fares and New Routes
IL, G.. -

Street Railroad Fares and New Routes.
In any modification of the contracts with
the Street Railroad Companies, or in any
grants for new routes, it seems to us that the
city should provide that passengers should
be carried to any part of the city, whether
the distance includes the roads of one or
more companies, for one fare. The entire
distance of the combined routes does not
affect the question. When roads meet in the
center Of the city, more passengers will want
to travel a moderate distance which includes
a part of two roads, than the whole extent
Of one. If different roads piece out the city,
passengers will have to pay two fares for
going mile on two roads, when they can
travel three miles on one for a single fare.
The shOrt-distance passengers are the most
numerous. Most of these would be lost on
any short distance which requires two fares.
1t is for the interest of the companies to
make this arrangement, and it is a right due
to the citizens. If we are TO have Chinese
system of dividing one part of the city from
another, by different roads and different
fares, it will be perpetual ANNOYANCE.

The Pcr-CnpDa with its Brains Ont.

The Pef-CapDa With its Brains Ont.
The public are informed by the Commercial
that there is good deal of ignorance and
misapprehension afloat in regard to the per.
| capita tax of one cent to the city on the
street railroad travel" whereupon the Com.
meTcidI proceeds to enlighten the ignorant
public. In the first place. it is claimed by
the ignorant that the release of one cent tax
will benefit the people; but that paper says
'the companies have no such motive" The
ignorant people should look to this, and
should insist on paying their poll-tax, unless
they are satisfied that the motives of the
companies in procuring its release, are pure
and disinterested.
In the next place, the companies have only
shown that the roads were not paying run
ming expenses. They have not shown the
cost of constructing the roads, nor their
present value, (?) nor how much stock was
issued. This is vital point, and the Com
mercidl makes it startling with italics OF
course, the stock question is the only ques-
tion, and the question of paying running
expenses has really nothing to do with it,
except with the ignorant. Let the passen-
gers insist on paying their per-capita to the
city until the stock question is ventilated!
In the next place, the matter has not yet
come to "a question between taking off the
per-capita or relinquishing the roads,"
When it comes to that, the citizens "would
treat it altogether differently from the pres
ent." Until it comes to that, let our citi-
zents insist on chipping in" their poll-tax.
Again, 'if the railroads are not making
money, why not propose to sell out OF cease
business?" Certainly! Why not make an
assignment and wind up? Why do they
want to save their property, when they can
just let it go? II looks suspicious. We see
no way for the companies to dodge this, un-
less they have the assurance which is char
acteristic of soulless corporations, and in
quire who will buy.
Furthermore, who cares for the public,
"since they already ride as cheaply as in
other cities?' There is such a thing as
making it too cheap. Then the cars will be
filed up with the common vulgar. Besides,
they are indirectly saving themselves
large amount of direct taxation;" therefore,
"there seems no sufficient reason for them to
complain That is, property is released
from large amount of taxation, and it is
put on the passengers of the cars. Property
tax is taken of, and poll tax put on. Ger
tainly the per-cGpita should die, for its brains
are out. Certainly the poll that made these
ought not to be taxed even one
cent.
