says "Of all the specifics offered for the cure

faith in WISrAR'S BAISAM OF WILD
CHERRY. Free from those narcotic ingredi-

ton Of some other patent medicines, it acts
without injury to the nervous system. We
speak of this valuable medicine from personal
knowledge of its effect. Scarcely two years
have elapsed since a member of our family
was raised from the very brink of the grave
through its use; and in several subsequent cases
where il has been administered in our house
hold, il has never since failed of the desired
effect. We chcerfully commend it to our
friends in the Western States, and among the
rest of mankind rs a certain remedy for in
cipient diseases Of the lung"

an Central Committee, at its regular meet
ing on the 9th inst Fl @a.y 81
WHEREAS, The condition of our coun-
try renders it the duty of all good men to

crush rebellion; therefore, be it
Resolced, That this Central Committee
of the Republican party of the city and
county of New York, as whole, and each

pledges the committee to aid the admins
tration in its efforts to suppress the rebell-
ion; and be ii further
Resolred, That the committee views with

traitors to aid the rebels by efforts to di-
vide the people of the loyal States, and
that any party or any man who attempts.
in these perilous times, to attract attention
from and divide the odium justly fixed on
rebels in arms, is as much traitor to the
Union as those in arms for its destruction.
Re.slred, That the Government ought,
10 this hour Of necessity, to avail itself Of
all the means within its reach, inviting and
accepting the aid Of every person willing
ana aole to serve his country.

says:
!" Results have sadly proved that if

would have found the Free States without a
country save that which was controlled by
the institution of Slavery. The rebellion
of lS61-62 is the voice of the devil pro-
claiming that, in the event Of the election
of Breckenridge in 1860, four years would
have found us slave monarchy"

that, if through mistake, any settlers claim
or contemplated claim had been located up
on or selected by them, upon being so in
formed, it would be released, as they wish
ed to disturb no settlers home. Those in
tcrested in land matters in this district
