is all we ever asked of them. If we
should hereafter be assaulted by foreign
foe they would unite with US as one people
He believed them sincere, and hoped they
expressed the sentiments of the great
majority, for united as one people, united

eral states for the whole Union, and feel
ing that loyalty for the flag, we are a great
people. the greatest union in the world.
We are too nearly equal, man to man, not

lying in that port to enforce British Do"

Other similar infringments followed, most
conspicuous of these being the deliberate
establishment by Great Britain on the l7th
OF July, 1852, of new colony 10 Central
america, of the coast of Honduras, under
the name of the Colony of the Bay Islands
by and on the account of which Mr.. Cass
In the Senate in January 1858, declared
the treaty to have been virtually nulifed
by Great Britain. He says during and
after the civil war the treaty sank into
oblivion, and the circumstances under
which it was negotiated are so changed
that the treaty should be abrogated. The
report then details the negotiations and
controversies between this government and
Great Britain. growing out of these occur
rences, and the Intellectual efforts to ne
gotiate new treaty.
Representative Cex's report of the com
m f.. L. ~
inter oceanic canal and Monroe doctrine,
quotes at length from the presidents mes
sage upon that subject of March s, 1880,
and severely arraigns the policy of Clayton
in seeking to induce Great Britain to
abandon her own unfounded claim upon
the territory of an independent Spanish
American state, and inviting her to share
with US the duty and privilege peculiarly
our own of protecting an inter"oceanic
comm unication of infinite interest and con.

Catarrhal
POIS ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise ON Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
l. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection, al first local, and finally
constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional, the infection is
beyond the reach Of mere local remedies.
5. That Impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhoa, Bronchitis, Leucorrhea
and Consumption,
5. That Smokes, Douehes, InhalatiOns, and
Insoluble Sauffs, cannot possibly remove in
fictitious infammations from the organs named.
6. That an antidote tor Cstsrrh must pos
sess an inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality
OF being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.
Based upon these plain Theories, DR..
Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved
!ufsllible. 1t not only re1eaves, it cures
Caiarrh at any stage. Home testimony:
