The following we find in the N. Y.
Egming Posi-, from the pen of the accomplished
]. G. Whittier:
Statesman, thank hee!-and, if yet dissent
Mingles, reluctant, with my large content,
cannot censure what was nobly meant
But, while constrained to hold even Union less
Than Liberty and Truth and Righteousness,
thank thee in the sweet and holy name
Of Peace, for wise, calm words that put to shame
Passion and party. Courage may be shown
Not in defiance of wrong alone;
He may be bravest who, unweaponed, bears
The olive branch, and strong in justice, spares
The rash wrong-doer, giving widest scope
To Christian charity and generous hope.
If, without damage to the sacred cause
Of Freedom and the safeguard of its laws
If, without yielding that for which alone
We prize the Union, thou can st save it now
From baptism of blood, upon thy brow
wreath whose flowers no earthly soil have known,
Woven of the beatitudes, shall rest;
And the peacemaker be forever blest!

RACINE, Wis, Nov. I'd, 1858.
To DR.. HERR1cK, Albany, N. Y.-Dear sir: l
cannot refrain from informing you of the wonder
full effects of your SUGAR COATED PILLS on a
boy living with me. While hard at work drawing
cord wood, he fell to the earth as if in fit, was
insensible and partially cold. We carried him to
the house and sent for doctor, who bled him and
gave him some medicine. He remained all night
in the same situation. The doctor said he would
die, and left him. My wife insisted upon giving
him some of yourPills. We administered four in
five hours and shortly after two more, rubbing
him with hot brandy and mustard. The Pills
operated powerfully. At four o'clock in the after
noon he opened his eyes and spoke, commenced
getting better, and in three days went to work.
More than fifty of our citizens saw the boy, and
will testify to what have said. You are stranger
to me, but thought would write.
Yours, ALEXANDER MORTON.

WEAKNESS OF THE STOMACH AND
INDIG ESTION.

Another Great Cure Effected By Btsrhaue's
Holland Bitters.
The wife of Peter De Witte, living in Holland
Town, Sheboygan county, Wisconsin, suffered
much from Weakness of the Stomach and Indges-
ton. She had been under physicians care for
some time, but the disease seemed to battle even
his skill. She purchased some HOLLAND BIT
TIERS at our Office, which has given tone to her
stomach; her appetite and strength are returning,
and we firmly believe that this is another great
cure effected by your medicine.
We have still to record many wonderful cures
effected by this remedy, but must wait another
opportunity. One thing you can rely upon, what
we have published are from persons much respec-
ted in our community, and are literally true.
