We obtain knowledge from our neigh

and trusted citizens Of the United States
says of the virtues Of Westmorcland's
Calisaya Tonic, and those in need of a
similar preparation should doubt no lon

Governor B. +. Perry:
SANS souc1, September "a, 1854.
Mcssrs. Westmoreland Bros, Gentlo-
men-I most cordially recommend your
Calisaya Tonic. For several years past I
have been troubled with indigestion and
dyspepsia. My son, Dr.. IIext NJ. Porry,
of Philadelphia, who knows tho inSredi-
ens which compose your Tonic, spoke
favorably of it. In the course of two
IN onths past have used four bottles, and
am entirely relieved.
Yours truly, &C., B. +. PERRY.

Tie communication which we publish
elsewhere, urging our County Commits
sioners to build substantial bridge over
Seneca River, and to locate it at q more
advantageous point than the bridge at
Shallow Ford, is worthy of very careful
consideration. We are satisfied that it
will be iudicious economy to build an
iron bridge over Seneca River, and hope
our Commissioners will do so, even if it
requires little extra tax levy again next
year. Such bridge when once built is
a permaneucy, and there is no place in
the County where an iron bridge will
add more to the convenience and safety
of travel than over Seneca River. We
arc not familiar with the country through
which our friend advocates locating the
new road, but from his description of it,
we think the Commissioners ought to
examine into the matter very carefully,
and ascertain whether the convenience of
trade and travel will be subserved by the
change. If so, it is the most advauta.
geous occasion to make the change which
the County will have soon. The loca-
tion Of the present road is far from being
good one, but in any event it should be
kept up to the river, even if a new line
is established to cross the river, as indi.
Gated. This is o matter in which the
people Of the Fork Township are most
deeply interested, and we would be
pleased to publish their views on the
question as to the desirability of the
change, the distance of the two routes
and the character of the two roads We
are satisfied that the County Commits
sioners will duly consider all the intor.
nation they can gather on the subject,
and will act as they think best for the
County. Therefore, those who are inter.
ested in the matter and those who are
acquainted with the two routes, ought to
present their views and the reasons for
their conclusions without delay.

Senator Jones, of Florida, has not been
in his seat during the present session of the
Senate, and his absence is attributed TO
a crazy infatuation for Western widow
who utterly detests him. His constitu-
ents have recently teeu growing about
his absence, and have urged Governor
Perry, of that State, to declare his seat
vacant, and appoint new Senator This
the Governor ha, declined to do, as he
has no power in the premises, and on
this action the Times Union, of Jackson
vile, pithily remarks: "The clause in
the Constitution is very comprehensive
that the Senate has the power to- decide
whether vacancy exists, aud that by
appointing new man to fill an apparent
vacancy the Senate may be induced to
settle the question whether the State has
any power to enforce It's right TO the CON
stitutioual representation of two in the
Senate. Popular feeling in Florida is
strongly aroused over the prolonged and
unexplained absence of Senator Jones
from his post Of duty" 1t would pro-
duce reform in National legislation if
absence without leave from seat in Con-
gress vacated the seat. The members
would be more punctual if not more dill
igent.

Mr. Gladstone's Irish policy is too
progressive and able to be grasped by
the English Government at once, aud
hence he is meeting with considerable
trouble in his own party, snd even in his
Cabinet in securing harmony on his pro.
posed scheme. One of his embarrass.
ments in the Cabinet is, that Joseph
Chamberlain, President of the local gov.
ernment Board, and G. o. Trevelyan,
Secretary for Scotland, have resigned,
and the Queen has accepted the reaigna.
tions of both gentlemen. James Stans-
field, Radical member for Halifax, sue.
ceeds Chamberlain, and the Earl of

has promised Parliament that he will
present bill for the future government
of Ireland on the eighth of April. The
great Commoner never talks without
caution, and hence no one, except per.
haps his own Cabinet, knows what
measure he will propose or in what shape
it will be presented; but it is generally
thought be will not put his appropriation

his strength with Parliament on some of

question requires him to deal. Mr..
Gladstone is, perhaps, the grandest Com

in nothing has he shown his far reach

than in determining upon permanent
settlement of the vexatious Irish ques-

it would push the work forward with
such rapidily as to show its practicability
