PEN PICTURE OF GRANT AND CoLrAx.-
MIR. Geo. D. Prentice has discovered that
washington Irving, through the medium
of Deidrick Knickerbocker, long since pic
tured the Radical candidates. Thus
"There are two opposite ways by which
some men make figure in the world; one
by talking faster than they think; and the
other by holding their tongues and not
thinking at all. By the first many -smat-
terer acquires the reputation of man OF
quick parts; by the other, many a dunder-
pate, like the owl, the stupidest of birds,
comes to be considered the very type OF
wisdom"
Again, treating Of Governor Wooster Van
Twiler, Irving wrote:
"With Ell his reflective habits, he never
made up his mind on u subject. His ad-
herents accounted for this by the extraorli-
,ary magnitude of his ideas lie concciv-
ed every subject on so grand scale, That
he had not room in his head to turn il over
and examine both sides of it. Certain it Is
thai ] any matter were propounded to him
on which ordinary mortals would rashly de-
termine at first glance, he would put on u
vague. mysterious looi, shake his capac-
ious head, smoke some time in profound
silence, and at last observe that he had his
doubts about the matter"

The Legislature Convened.


We publish to-day notice which has
been issued by Fl. G. Yarmouth, the Gear
pet-Bag" Governor elect Of this one respec.
table State, calling together the Legisla.
ture, on Monday, the 29th inst, at the
Mechanics Institute, in this city. This
cal, be it observed, is not made in accor.
dance with State laws, but in accordance
with an act of Congress-, a military act-an
act Of despotic power. The Legislation
thus concerned is in no sense a. free repre-
sentatioa body, and although we have
taken part in the election off members
we can but consider it as part of the
monstrosity which has been imposed upon
US, simply because we are not in posi-
ton effectual|y to reject its authority.
The military authority in this State to
some extent ceases, and we regret to par;
with 1t. 1t is more respectable than Car
pet-Bag Government. If our situation
were not serious, we cold laugh at the con.
dition in which once spirited people are
now placed.-[N. 0. Bee. :

TEXAS TONIC SYRUP,
A Vegetable Compound for the RAJ
pid and Permanent Cure Of
CHILLS AND FEVER, or FEVER
AND AGUEl
Every Poison has its Antidotel Ev-
cry Disease has its Cure

The people of the Mississippi
Valley have long felt the necessity
for, and want of, Safe, Certain
and Reliable Remedy, as a substi-
tute for Quinine, Strychnine, and
other poisonous Drugs, for the cure
of Fever and Ague, or Chills and
Fever. We claim, and the result
will show, and bear testimony to
every unprejudiced mind, that the
Texas Tonic Syrup has supplied
this want and accomplished this
purpose. It's Tonic, Alternative and
Antiseptic qualities are such that
none can possibly be. disappointed
in its effects. Upon its own merits,
therefore, it is sustained. A single
trial is all that is needed to stamp
this remedy as the greatest specific
of the age.
The ingrediments Of which this
Medicine is composed are simple
productions of nature Astounding
upon certain streams in the State
of Texas, and were ever used by the
Aborigines of that State asa spe-
citic for Fevers Of all kinds, and es-
pecially Fever and Ague, which
they never failed to cure.
A celebrated Physician, acquaint-
ed with these facts, has furnished
us his theory upon this important
subject, and hence the Product
properly named TEXAS TONIC
SYRUP, which we now offer to the
public as specific and positive
cure for Fever and Ague, or Chills
and Fever, no matter Of how long
standing.
Having had indubitable evidence
of its prompt and certain effects
from the testimony of a multitude
ofrespectable citizens, among whom
is classed many of our best Physi-
clans, we do not hesitate to recon-
mend this Preparation in ali cases
of Fever and Ague and Chills and
Fever; indeed, from the facts in our
possession of its intrinsic value, it
would not be too much for us to
state that when the directions are
strictly complied with we warrant
a cure in every case, where it is
tried. 1t is pleasant to the taste
and the cheapest Medicine in the
world. Therefore, in truth, it may
be declared the day is not far dis
tant when it must be appreciated
and used in every household where
Fever and Ague or Chills and Fe-
yer is found to exist.

THE Next SECTIONAL CONTROVERSY
We copy as follows from an article publish
ed by the New York Times
Among other subjects yet to be opened
for discussion is the Radical difference in
the material interests in the West and
East. The South, as q section, is too
weak to make further sectional fight. It
must Join one of the two great sections.
The war will be of capital against Numbers
The West will represent the latter. 1t
will demand legislation favorable to OPEN
ing the West and East India trade, by way
of the Illinois and the Mississippi. The
Fast will not like this. The West will
wish to escape the duties imposed on its
foreign consumption. 1t will insist, per-
haps, that the Eastern bondholders shall
accept exactly the same currency in pay
ment of the Federal bonds that was paid in
for the purchase of the bonds. When the
numbers of the West are arrayed on thiar
and similar questions, it is not impossible
that the principles of numerical rule which
have been affirmed in all our latter leeisla-
ton may be applied to Senatorial yepresen-
tatives. Why, indeed. should the Federal
Senate be organized on the basis of an ex-
tinct statehood? Why should mot the
Federal Senate, as the State Senators, be
based on an enlarged ratio of numbers? II
each constituency of 10000 is entitled to
q member of Congress, why should not
each constituency of 100000 be ;epresen-
ted by o Senator? This would appear a
simple and just rule, especially under the
new dspensation. We need not perhaps
anticipate such sectional troubles. but they
seem inevitable. The South having been
extinguished as an equal and Independent
section, finds itself more in accprd with
the West, and will file in under its banner.
The gratultous intolerance and prolonged
prosecutions of the East cannot lie forgot
ten, and upona collision, even upon COM
parison of interest between that and the
Western section. there can be no doubt as
to the action of the South.
