WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY
Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis asthma. Group, Whoop-
ing Cough. Qainsy, and the numerous as well as
dangerous diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs
prevail in chan geable climate at all of
theyear: few are fortunate enough to escape their
baneful influence. How important then to have at
hand certain antidote to all these complaints Ex-
periencc proves that this exists in Uistars Baisam
to an extent not found in any other remedy; howev-
severe the suffering the application of this sooth
ing. healing and wonderful Balsam at once van
pushes the disease and restores the sufferer to won't
ed health.
GEoRGEw MILLErT, Esq,
Editor of the Norway Adrertiser," gives his opin-
ion of this great remedy substantially as follows
NORWAY VILLAGE, Me, Aug. 4, 1850
Messrs s. w. FOWLER Co, Boston
Gentlemen For remedy of such undoubted

be relieved Several years since l first became ac-
quanted with this Balsam at time of a distressing
cough and cotd, which took such firm hold OF my
lungs to render unfit for business, and its OPP
Grafton produced speedy and permanent cure. after
trying various remedies to no avail.
In our town this remedy is great favorite with
many aud if all who suffer will give it fair trial 1
think they will find il to be of more service in pull
monary affections. than any other remedy of this
class before the public.

Emigration Of Unemployed Operatives.

The late English papers show that movements
are in progress there to relieve the distress
among the unemployed operatives by emigra-
ton. There being but little prospect of an
early resumption of cotton spinning, il is seen
that the charitable funds will not be sufficient
to maintain so large number of persons anoth-
er year; hence influential parties have taken
up the matter of emigration as the only source
of permanent relief. The Dean of Carlisle has
accepted the position of chairman of one Of
these committees; and the Mayor of Man
chester presided at meeting held in that city
for the same purpose, where it was unanimous
ly voted, " that it is expedient to assist unem-
ployed persons who may desire to enigrate."
The reduced sum at the disposal of some of
the local committees having compelled them
to diminish the weekly stipends to the unem-
ployed, riots have ensued in several towns !;
and the cry of bread" which has always ear
ricd terror to the nobility and gentry of Eng
land, is again dreaded by them. Although the
reports for the first week in April showed a
diminution of 229S persons from the previous,
yet the monthly report from all districts Tor
March, as compared with that for February,
showed an increase of IA, l52.

The Cairo, Ill.,, correspondent of the Times
states that the movements to cut off the rebel
communications in the southwest, down the
Mobile Il Ohio Railroad. and another in cen
trail Mississippi by which all the railroads con
meeting with Vicksburg were to be cut, have
been successful.
ST. LOUIS. No.. May 4.
Advices from Cape Girardeau say the rebels
under Gen. Marmaduke, after having their rear
assailed twice and suffering severe losses, fin
ally escaped across White Water river, burning
all bridges behind them, and disappearing by
various routes in the direction of Chalk Bluffs,
on the Arkansas line. The result of this raid
to the enemy is repeated humiliation, disas-
tiers, and cowardly fight before greatly infe-
rior numbers.

report of the Committee as to the Pledge and
Bylaws was unanimously adopted.
On motion of Elisha Trowbrdge ,Esv., the
officers reported by the Committee were adopt
ed by reclamation, and the gentlemen named
were declared unanimously elected.
The Chairman stated that rooms had been
secured in the City Government Building for
the purposes of the League-the two front
rooms on the floor over the offices of the May
or and City Treasurer.
The business of the formation of the League
having been accomplished, the Mayor intro
duced to the audience Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill,,
one of our Senators in Congress, who, as he
appeared on the platform, was received with
great applause.
Senator Morrill, spoke about an hour and a
quarter, his remarks being frequently inter-
rupted with applause. He took up the cry of
those who are so loud for "the Constitution as
it is and the Union as it vas" and his remarks
upon those points were eloquent and convinc-
ing. He exposed the design Of JEFF. Davis in
the Senate, in 1850, when he declared there
must be new Constitution, or new guaran-
tees; and, also, at the Charleston convention,
when the South demanded the passage Of res
olutions to which the North entirely dissented.
He stated, that, in conversations with Davis,
he was assured that when the South should
separate from the Union, the Democrats of the
North would prevent any coercion on the part
of the government.
We have no space to follow out the remarks

WAIT 4 LtTTLE.

l. most important mass meeting of the
colcred men Of New Orleans was hold a
short time since for the purpose Of petit
ioning Gov. 6hep1ey for the right to vote.
This rebellion daily develops some strange
questions which will need and demand
solution, and among them is this one Of the
status Of free colored men IN Louisiana and
other States. The meeting was IN I'M
mense one and the proceedings we're order
" and in form. Speeches were made on
the question and among them one BY Capt.
Pinchbeck, q colored officer, who summed
up the matter in most concise
and forcible shape. He said they
did not demand social equality.
they only asked for political right. They
waited to be men The very essence Of
the proposition he puts In thus logical shane.
If colored people are citizens, they shon1d
be allowed to vote; if they are not citizens,
they are exempt from the dratt,n
Tie speaker pu S his question well but
is in too great hurry. There are graycr
questions than this that arc wait
ing for answers. Let Captain
pincLbcck and his colorcd soldiers first
ascertain whether we have country for
them to live in. Let them wait until they
ind whether the negro will own
himself, his wife and his children,
and receive the honest fruits Of his
labor. The rebellion has rot
10 be finished up and this Union main
tanned. These are the prime questions
