whole class of diseases originating in bill

Ne one remedy is louder called for by the ne
cesSities Of the American people than sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such we are
now enabled to offer. with perfect certainty
that it viii eradicate the disease, and with as
slIrance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from IFS use in any quantity.


That which protects from prevents this dis
order must be Of immense service in the eommu-
mites where it prevails. Prevention is better than
cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he
, must run in violent attacks of this baleful dis
fe1aper. This " CURE'' expels the miasmatic
poison Of FEVER AND AGuE from the system and
prevents the development of the disease, if taken
on the first approach of its prelnontory symptoms.
1t is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the cheapest.
The large quantity we supply for dollar brings it
within the reach of every body and in bilious
districts, where FLYER And AGUE prevails, every
body should have it and it freely both for
and protection. It hoped this price viii place it

or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.


Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatie poison A great variety of disorders
arise from its irritation, among which are Neural
gia. rheumatism, Gout, Headache, blindness,
Toothache, Barache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitation,
Painful Affection of the Spleen Mysteries, Pain in
the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and Derangenent of
the Stomach. all Of which, when originating in
this cause, put on the intermittent type or become
periodical. This ''CURE expels the poison from
the blood. and consequently cures them all alike.
1t is an invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing in the
1nalarious districts. If taken occasionally daily
while exposed to the Infection that will be
ted from the system, and cannot accumulate in
sufficient quantity TO rpen into disease. Hence it
is even valuable for protection than cure and
few will ever suffer from Intermittents, if they
avail themselves of the protection this remedy
affords.

So wide is the field of its usefulness and so
arc the cases of its cures that almost every section of
country abou1ds in persons publicly known, who have
been restored from alarming and even desperate dis

superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues
known the public longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections
of the pulmonary organs that incident to our
climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon
the community have failed and been discarded this has
gained friends by every trial. conferred benefits the

AsroR HOUSE, y. V, June l3, 1859.


GEyTLIMEN: | have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of the lth in which you
are pleased to ask my views on one of the most inn
portant questions that be presented TO the
SidcrutiOn If an American statesman; but in
Earding me as the representative of the great con-
servNtiyc element of the opposition party in this
country in connection with the Presidency, you at
tach to my position degree of Importance which it
is not entitled To occupy.


The questions propounded to me involve the
transcendantly important consideration of the rea-
tive and reciprocal duties of the citizen TO the gov
Crnment and of the government 10 the citizen; than
which, no higher, more interesting or more mpor-
tnnt question could have been suggested | shall
nevertheless not shrink from the delicate response

frankly and without reserve to answer your inter-
rogatoriCS To the best of my Judgment and capacity


When first read the letter Of the Secretary of
State some ten days since, was infinitely surprised
that doctrine full Of injustice and outrage las it
appeared 10 mel should now for the first time as
far as am advised, be put forth by the representa-
tive men of that party which has heretofore habitu
ally boasted of being the only friends to the for
egner who seeks shelter on our shore and have
been still more surprised to find that doctrine so
full of novelty and error should not have been more
generally repudated by the public press; and Ihave
been even still more astoniShed that of the great
number of politicians and statesmen who have all
ways relied upon and received the aid of this clc-
ment so much coveted and caresscd about the time
of popular election, NOT ONE should have stepped
forward To defend and protect the rights Of their
fellow citizens, 10 whom they owe so heavy weight
of obligation and gratitude for the places of dis
unction that they hold 10y the sutllNges and support
of the nauraZcd voters of the country. do not
regret, that through the kindness and confidence
implied by your letter the opportunity has been so
unexpectedly afforded me, who owe nothing to that
foreign element of which have spoken, and before
which, rs one of the American organization, have
been held up an inveterato enemy TO all foreign-

Judge Mott arrived in this city, Thursday
evening from the Washoe Diggings 1t will
be remembered that he has been running a
stage and mule train, for some time, between
the country on the western and that on the
eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada. lie left
Sierra Valley with his mule train on Satur-
day and arrived at Downieville, throus the
Yuba Gap, on Sunday evening, distance of
271 miles. The travelling was comparatively
slow, on account of a heavy snow storm
which occurred just before he started. An
unusual amount of snow has fallen this sea-
son, and it is now deeper in every pass
through the Sierra Nevada than it has ever
been known before.


Judge Mott pronounces the Yuba Gap a
vastly superior pass to th9t on the Placerville
route. He travelled over both routes, with
the view of testing Them it being solely
business transaction with him, and it being
his object to ascertain which was the better
pass for his mule and stage train. lie prefers
the TUBA Gap in the proportion of ten to
one.


The snow belt on the Yuba Gap road Is
only six or eight miles at the furthest, and
the trail is easily kept open.


Judge Mott has withdrawn his trains for
the present, not because of the difficulty of
travel, but on account of the high price of
feed during the winter, the expense eating
up the profits but the trail is open, and any
one who likes can pass over it.
