DE Witt Clinton was seen by Rev. DR.
Shaw, of Rochester, when he opened the gate
which first let the waters Of Lake Erie flow
through the Erie Canal into the Hudson. DIR.
Shaw says: "Never shall forget the picture
he made as he stood there at that time. His
hair hung in chestnut curls about his head he
had clear hazel eyes, with a complexion as
fair as a woman's. He was the handsomest
Misunderstanding man ever saw-the type OF
all that was imposing and dignifed."

KENT's HILL, Me.

To Benz. W. Hartman, Esq,
Representatiye-elect from the class
consisting Of Rea,!feld, MI.
Vernon and Vienna.
Whereas, the Governor and
Council in their canvass of the votes
cast for Senators and Representa-
tiyes at the last State election have
refused to execute Il law of the
State on the plea that they are ad-
vtsed that it is unconstitutional,
and, rhereas, if the executive
department may refuse to execute
one law they may also refuse to ex-
ecute all laws until they have been
formally declared constitutional,
thus opening the way for the great
est usurpation and utterly revers-
ing the universal law of republics
that the executive is bound to ex-
ecute all laws until they are de-
clared unconstitutional;
And, achereas, the only body that
can lawfully and finally declare a
law unconstitutional is the Supreme
Judicial Court;
And, achereas, the Governor and
Council neglected to call upon the
Court for their advice and decision
as to said law, as it was their privi-
lege to do;
Therefore, we, the undersigned,
voters of the town of Readfeld,
respectfully request you, as the
rightful representative-elect from
this district, that you cooperate
with all those who were rightfully
elected Senators and Representa-
tives as shown by the legal records
of the late election, made according
to law by the respective cities,
towns and plantations of the State,
in order that all questions relating
to the legality ofthe canvass by the
Governor and Council of the votes
cast at the last State election for
Senators and Representatives, may,
if possible, directly or indirectly,
be brought before the Supreme
Judicial Court for their decision.

DEAR SIR II have, this moment, seen a
report of the Boston Globe, of conversation,
said to have passed bet~ cen yourself and me,
in which it is alleged that you attempted to
influence me in the matter of taking my seat
in the next House of Representatives, in a
certain contingency; and also that you used
language unbecoming gentleman.
No such conversation as the Globe reports
has, at any time, been held between us. In
the interview which is undoubtedly referred
to, the burden of our conversation was upon
an entirely different matter. Neither in that,
nor in any other interview between us has any
language but that of entire courtesy been
used.
do not know that you care to give any
futher attention the entirely false representa-
ton of the Globe, but feel that it is justly
due yourself that make to you the above
statements.
Very respectfully, yours &C.,
NATHL. BUTLER.

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death Of many invalids, BY depriving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with
pectoral disease should be supported by every
assurance Of q cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, foreboding countenances of fthose
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption Is incurable, and let physicians
theOrize as they will, we have "a mass of evil
dence to prove that persons having all the
symptoms Of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectoration, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrhea, night sweats, burning
fever. &C., have been permanently cured by
CDR. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild
Cherry" This old standard remedy pre-
pared only by DIR. Swsyne & Son, Philadel-
