!tfr. Calhtua’s Speech,
[COSCLCUEU FROM FIRST I'AiiE.]
Nor i=> it less clear, that the power of legisla
ting over Ihe acquired torritory is vested in Con
gress, and not, ns asitmed,in the inhabitants of
the Territories. None can deny that the Gov
ernment of the United States have the power
to acquire Territories, either by war or treaty ;
I Hit if the power to acquire exists, it belongs to
Congress to carry it into execution. On this
point there can he no doubt, for the Constitu
tion expressly provides, that Congress shall
have power “to make all laws which shall bo
necessary and proper to carry into execution
the foregoing powers,'’ (those vested in Con
gress,) “and all other powers vested by this
Constitution in the Government of the United
Stales, or in any department or office thereof.”
It matters not, then, where the power is vested ;
if vested at all in the Government of the Uni
ted States, or any of its departments, or officers,
the power of car'ryingit into execution isclcarly
vested in Congress. But this important provi
sion, while it gives to Congress the power of
legislating over the Territories, imposes impor
tant restrictions on its exercise, by restricting
Congress to passing laws necessary and proper
for carrying the power into execution. The
prohibition extends, not only to all laws not sui
table or appropriate to the object of the power,
but also to all that arc unjust, unequal, or unfair,
for oil such laws would be unnecessary and
improper, and, therefore, unconstitutional.
Having now established, beyond controversy,
that the sovereignty over the Territories is ves
ted in the United States—that is, in the several
States composing the Union —and that the power
of legislating over them is expressly vested in
Congress,it follows, that the individuals iu Cali
fornia who have undertaken to form a Constitu
tion and a State, and to exercise the power of
legislating without the consent of Congress,
have usurped the sovereignty of the States and
the authority of Congress, and have acted iu
open defiance of both. In other words, what
they have done is revolutionary and rebellious
hi its character, anarchical in its tendency, and
calculated to lead to the most dangerous conse
quences. llad they acted from premeditation
and design, it would have been, in fact, nctual
rebellion; hut sucliTs not the case. The blame
lies much less upon them than upon those who
have induced them to take a course so uncon
stitutional and dangerous. They have been led
into it by language held here, and the course
pursued by the Executive branch of the Gov
ernment.
I have not seen the answer of the Executive
to the calls made by the two Houses of Con
gress, for information ns to the course which it
took, or the part which it acted, in reference to
what was done in California. 1 understand the
nnswers have not yet been printed. But there
is enough known to justify the assertion, that
those who profess to represent and act under
the authority of the Executive, have advised,
aided and encouraged the movement, which
terminated in forming, what they called a Con
stitution and a State. General liilcy, who pro
fessed to act as civil Governor, called the Con
vention, determined on the number and distri
bution of the delegates, appointed time ami
place of its meeting, was present during *hc ses
sion, and gave its proceedings his approbation
and sanction. If lie acted without authority,
he ought to have been tried, or at least repriman
ded and disavowed. Neither having been done,
the presumption is, that his course has been ap
proved. This, of itself, is sutlicicnt to identify
the Executive with his acts, and to make it re
sponsible for them. I touch not the question,
whether General Riley was appointed, or re
ceived the instructions under which he professed
to uct, from the present Executive, or its prede
cessors. If from Ihe former, it would implicate
the preceding as well as the present Adminis
tration. If not, the responsibility rests exclu
sively on the present.
It is manifest from this statement, that the
Executive Department has undertaken to per
form acts preparatory to the meeting of the in
dividuals to form their so-called Constitution
and Government, which appertain exclusively
to Congress. Indeed, they are identical in many
respects, with- the provisions adopted by Con
gress, when it gives permission to a Territory
to form a Constitution and Government, in or
der to be admitted as a Slate into the Union.
Having now shown that the assumption
upon which the Executive and the indi
viduals in California acted throughout this*
whole affair, is unfounded, unconstitution
al, and dangerous, it remains to make a
low remarks, in order to show that what
has been done is contrary to the entire
practice of the Government from its com
mencement to the present lime.
From its commencement until the time
that Michigan was admitted, the practice
was uniform. Territorial Governments
were first organized by Congress. The
Government of the United States appoin
ted the Governors, Judges, Secretaries,
Marshals, and other officers, and the in
habitants of the Territory were represen
ted by legislative bodies, whose acts wete
subject to thq revisions of Congress. This
Btate of things continued until the govern
ment of a Territory applied to Congress
to permit its inhabitants to form a Consti
tution and Government, preparatory to
admission into the Union. The prelimin
ary act to giving permission was, to ascer
tain whether the inhabitants were suffici
ently numerous to authorize them to be
formed into a State. This was done by
taking a census. That being done, and
the number proving sufficient, permission
was granted. The act granting it fixed
all ihe preliminaries—the time and placo
of holding the convention; the qualifica
tion of the voters; establishment of its
boundaries, and all other measures neces
sary to be settled previous to admission.
The act giving permission necessarily
withdraws the sovereignly of the United
States, and leaves the inhabitants of the
incipient State *as free to form their Con
stitution and Government, as were the
original States of the Union after they had
declared their independence. At this
stage, the inhabitants of the Territory be
came for the first time a people, in legal
and constitutional language. Prior to this,
they were, by the old acts of Congress,
Called inhabitants, and not people. All
this is perfectly consistent with the sove
reignty of the United States, with the
powers of Congress, and with the right
of a people to self-government.
Michigan Was the first case in which
there was any departure from the uniform
rule of acting. Her’s was a very slight
departure from established usage. The
ordinance of ’B7 secured to tie. the right
of becoming a State, when she should
have 60,000 inhabitants. Owing to some
neglect Congress delayed taking the cen
sus. In the meantime her population in
creased, until it clearly exceeded more
than twice the number which entitled hc T
to admission. At this stage she formed a
Constitution and Government without the
census being taken by tbe United States,
and Congress waived the omission, as
there was no doubt she had more than a
a sufficient number to entitle her to ad
mission. She was not admitted at the first
session she applied, owing to some diffi
culty respecting the boundary between her
and Ohio. The great irregularity, as to
her admission, took place at the next ses
sion, but on a point 'which can have no
possible connection with the case of Cali
fornia.
The irregularities in all other cases that
have since occurred are of a similar na
ture. In all, there existed . Territorial
Governments, established by Congress,
with officers appointed by the United
States. In all, the Territorial Govern
ment took the lead in calling Conventions,
and fixing the preliminaries preparatory
to the formation of a Conslitution and ad
mission into the Union. They all tecog
uizedthe sovereignty of the United Stales,
and the authority of Congress over the
Territories ; and wherever there was any
departure front established usage, it was
done on the presumed consent of Con
gress, and not in defiance of its authority,
or the sovereignty of the United States
over the Territories. In this respect Cali
fornia stands alone, without usage, or a
single example to cover her case.
It belongs now, Senators, fur you to de
cide what part you will act in reference
to this unprecedented transaction. The
Executive lias laid the paper purporting
to be the Constitution of California before
you, and asks you to admit her into tbe
Union as a State ; and tbe question is : will
you or will you not admit her ? It is a
grave question, and there resists upon you
a heavy responsibility. Much, very much,
will depend upon your decision. If you
admit her, you endorse and give yoursanc
tion to all that has been done. Are you
prepared to do so ? Are you prepared
to surrender your power of legislation for
the Territories ; a power expressly vested
in Congress by the Constitution, as has
been full established 1 Can you, consis
tently with your oath to support the Con
slitution, surrender the power? Are you
prepared to admit that the inhabitants of
the Territories possess the sovereignty
over them, and that any number, more or
less, may claim any extent of territory they
please ; may form a Constitution and Gov
ernment, and erect it into a State, without
asking your permission ? Are you pre
pared to surrender the sovereignty of the
United States over whatever territory may
be hereafter acquired to the first adventur
ers who may rush into it ? Are you pre
pared to surrender virtually to the Execu
tive Department, all the powers which
you have heretofore exercisetl over the
Territories ? If not, how can you con
sistently with your duty and your oaths to
support the Constitution, give your assent
to the admission of California as a State,
under a pretended Constitution and Gov
eminent? Again : can you believe that
the project of a Constituon which they have
adopted, has the least validity ? Can y<>u
believe that there is sue! a stall in reality
asthe State of Calif ri No hep is
no such State. It 1 uno 'gal oi insti
tutional existence. It has rio vali ,and
can have none, without your sanction.—
Howthen.can you admitit as« State, when,
according to the provison of the Constitu
tion, your power is limited to admitting
new States. To he admitted, it must be a
State, an existing Stale, independent of
vour sanction, before you can admit it
When you give your permission to the in
habitants of a Territory to form a constitu
tion and a State, the Constitution and
State they form, derive their authority
from the people, and not from you. The
State before admitted is actually a State,
and does not become so by the act of admis
sion, as would be the case with California,
should you admit her contrary to constitu
tional provisions and established usage
heretofore.
The Senators on the otherside ofthc Chamber
must permit mo to make a lew remarks, in this
connection particularly applicable to them, with
the exception of a few Senators from the South,
silting on that side of the Chamber. When the
Oregon question was before this body, not two
years since, you took (if I mistake not) univer
sally the ground, that Congress had the sole and
absolute power of legislating for the Territories,
llow, then,can you now, after the short interval
which has elapsed, abandon the ground which
you took, and thereby virtually admit that the
power of legislating,instead of being in Congress,
is in the inhabitants of the Territories? How
can you justify and sanction by your votes, the
acts of the Executive, which are in direct dero
gation to what you then contended tor ? But to
approach still nearer to the present time, how
can you, after condemning, little more than a
year since, the grounds taken by the party which
you defeated at tho last election, wheel around
and support by your votes the grounds which, as
explained recently on this lloor by the candidate
of the party in the last election, are identical
with those on which the Executive has acted in
reference to California? What arc we to under
stand by all this? Must we conclude that there
is no sincerity, no faith, in the acts and declara
tions of public men, and that all is mere acting
or hollow profession ? Or are wo to conclude
that tho exclusion of the South from the Terri
tory acquired from Mexico is an object of so
paramount a character in your estimation, that
Right, Justice, Constitution, and Consistency,
must all yield, when they stand in the way of
our exclusion ?
But, it may he asked, what is to he done with
California, should she not be admitted ? 1 an
swer, remand her back to the Territorial condi
tion, as was done in the case of Tennessee, in
the early stage of the Government. Congress,
in her case, had established a Territorial Gov
ernment in the usual form, witli n Governor,
Judges, and other officers, appointed by the
United States. She was entitled under the deed
of cession, to be admitted into the Union as a
State as soon as she had sixty thousand inhabi
tants. Tho Territorial Government, believing
it had that number, took a census, by which it
appeared it exceeded it. She then formed a
Constitution, and applied for admission. Con
gress refused to admit her, on the ground that
the census should be taken by the United States,
and that Congress had not determined w hether
the Territory should be formed into one or two
States, as it was authorized to do under the ces
sion. She returned quietly to her Territorial
condition. An to take a census
by the United States, containing a provision that
the Territory should form one State. AH after
wards was regularly conducted, and the Territo
ry admitted as a State in duo form. The irregu
larities in the case of California are immensura
bly greater, and offer much stronger reasons for
pursuing the same course. But, it may be said,
California may not submit. That is not proba.
hie ; hut if she should not, when she refuses, it
will then be time for us to decide what is to he
done.
Having now shown what cannot save the
Union, 1 return to the question with which
I commenced : How can tho Union be
saved ? There is but one way by which
it can with any certainty, and that is, by a
full and final settlement, on the principle
of justice, of all the questions at issue be
tween the two sections. The South asks
for justice, simple justice, and less she
ought not to take. She has no compro
mise to offer, but the Constitution; and no
concession or surrender to make. She
has already surrendered so much that she
has little left to surrender. Such a settle
ment would goto the root of the evil, aud
remove all cause of discontent. By satis
fying tho South, she could remain honora
bly and safely in the Union, and thereby
restore the harmony and fraternal feelings
between the sections, which existed anteri
or to the Missouri agitation. Nothing else
can, with any certainty, finally and forever,
settle the question at issue, terminate
agitation, and save the Union.
But can this be done? Yes, easily : not
by the weaker party, for it can of itself do
nothing—not even protect itself—but by
the stronger. The North has only to will
it to accomplish it—to do justice by con
ceding to the South an equal right in the
acquired territory, and to do her duty by
causing the stipulations relative to fugitive
slaves to be faithfully fulfilled—to cease
the agitation of the slave question, and to
provide for the insertion of a provision in
the Constitution, by an amendment, which
will restore in substance the power she
possessed of protecting herself, before the
equilibrium between the sections was de
stroyed by the action of this Government.
There will beno difficulty in devising such
a provision. One that will protect the
South, and which at the same time, will
improve and strengthen the Government,
instead of impairing and weakening it.
But will the North agree to do this ? It
is for her to answer this question. But, I
will say she cannot refuse, if she has half
the love for the Union which she professes
to have, or without justly exposing herself
to tho charge that her love of power and
aggrandizement is far greater than her
love of tho Union. At all events, the re
sponsibility of saving the Union rests on
the North, and not the South. The South
cannot save it by any act of hers, and the
North may save it without any sacrifice
whatever, unless to do justice, and to per
form her duties under the Constitution,
should be regarded by her as a sacrifice.
It is time, Senators, that there should
be an open and manly avowal on all sides,
■ to wliat is intended to be done. If the
question is not now settled, it is uncertain
whether it ever can hereafter he ; and tve,
as the Representatives of the States of this
Union, regarded as Governments, should
come to a distinct understanding as lo our
respective views, in order to ascertain
whether the great questions at issue can he
settled or not. If you, who represent the
stronger portion, cannot agree to settle
them on the broad principle of justice and
duty, say so ; and let the States we both
represent agree to separate and part in
peace. If you are unwilling we should
part in peace, tell us so, and we shall know
what to do, when you reduce the question
to submission or resistance. If you re
main silent, you will compel us to infer
what you intend. In that case California
will become the test question. If you ad
mit her, under all the difficulties that op
pose her admission, you compel us to infer
that you intend to exclude us from the
whole of the acquired Territories, with
| the intention of destroying, irretrievably,
the cquilibrum between the sections. We
would he blind not to prcccivo in that caso,
that your real objects are power and ag
grandisement, and infatuated not to act ac
cordingly.
I have now, Senators, done my duty, in
expressing tny opinions fully, freely, and
candidly, on this solemn occasion. In do
ing so, I have been governed by the mo
tives which have governed me in all the
stages of the agitation of the Slavery ques
tion, since its commencement. I have ex
erted myself, during the whole period, to
arrest it, with the intention of saving the
Union, if it could he done ; andifit could
not, to save the section where it has pleas
ed Providence to cast my lot, and which, I
sincerely believe, has justice and the Con
stitution on its side. Having faithfully
done my duty, to tho best of my ability,
both to the Union and rny section, through
out this agitation, I shall have the consola
tion, let what will come, that lam free from
all responsibility.

A in'll* by the name of C7..tPf ha* enpitni with a
roan? man of the name of 8. t*. Townsend, and uses his
name to pat up a Sar«a|iarilla, which they call Dr. Town-
Mind's Sarsaparilla, denominating it G ENUINE, Original,
etc. This Townsend is no doctor, and never was; hot was
formerly a worker on railroads, canals, and the like. Yet he
assumes the title ofl'r.. for the purpose of gaining credit for
what he is not. This is to caution the public not to be
deceived, and purchase none hut the (iENUINE ORIGI
NAI. oi.n Dr. Jacob Townsend’s Sarsaparilla, having on
It the Old Dr’s, likeness, his ffimity coat of arms, and his
signature across the coal of arms.
Principal Office, 102 Nnsau st., Nca York CUf.
THE ORIGINAL DISCOVERER OF THE
Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilla.
Old I)r. Townsend i» now about 70 years of age, and baa
long been known as the AUTHOR and DISCOVERER
of the GENUINE ORIGINAL “ TOWNSEND SAR
SAPARILLA.” Being jioor, he was compelled to limit its
manufacture, by which means it has been kept out of mar
ket, and the sales circumscribed to those only who had
proved its worth, and known its value. It had reached
the ears of many, nevertheless, as those persons who had
been healed of sore diseases, and saved from death, pro
claimed its excellence and wonderful
HEALING POWER.
Knowing, many years ago , that he had. by his skill,
science and experience, devised an article which would be
of incalculable advantage to mankind when the means
would be furnished to bring it into universal notice, when
its inestimable virtues would be known and appreciated.
This time has come, the means are supplied ; this
GRAND AND UNEQUALLED PREPARATION
Is manufactured on the largest scale, and is called for
throughout the length and breadth of the land, especially
as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike young 55. I*. Townsend’s, it improves with age, and
never changes, but for the better : because it is prepared on
scientific principles by a scientific man. The highest knowl
edge of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the art,
have all been brought into requisition in the manufacture
of the Old Dr’s Sarsaparilla. The Sarsaparilla root, it is
well know n to medical men, contains many medicinal pro
parties, and some properties which are inert or useless, and
others, which if retained in preparing it for use, produce
fermentation and acid, which is injurious to the system.
Some of the properties of Sarsaparilla arc so volatile, that
they entirely evaporate and are lost in he preparation, if
they are not preserved by a scientific process , known only
to those experienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these
volatile principles, which fly off in vapor, or as an exhala
tion, under heat, are the very essential medical properties
t»f the root, which cive to it all its value.
Any person can boil or stew the root till they get a dart
colored liquid, which is more from the coloring matter in
|he root than from any thing else; they can then strain
this Insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses,
*nd then call it ** SAKSAI’AKILLA EXTRACT or SY
RUP.” But such is not the article known as the
GENUINE OLD DU. JACOB TOWNSEND’S
SARSAPARILLA.
This is so prepared, that all the inert properties of the
Sarsaparilla root are first removed, every thing capable of
becoming acid or of fermentation, is extracted and rejected;
then every particle of medical virtue is secured in a pure
and concentrated form ; and thus it is rendered incapable of
losing any of its valuable and healing properties. Prepared
in this way, it is made the most powerful agent in the
Cure of innumerable diseases.
Hence the reason why we hear commendations on*every
side In its favor by men, women, and children. We find it
doing wonders in the cure of
CONSUMPTION, DYSPEPSIA, and I.IFFR COM
PLAINT, and in RHEUMATISM, SCROFULA.
Pl/.F.S, COS’TIFJCNF.SS, nil CUTANEOUS F.ItUP
TICNS, PIMPLES, BLOCTUES, mid all affections
arising from
IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD.
It possesses a marvellous efficacy in all complaints arising
from Indigestion, from Acidity of the Stomach, from unequal
circulation, determination of Llo© ‘ : > the head, palpitation
of the heart, cold feet and hands, cold chills aud hot flashes
over the body. It has not its equal in Colds and Coughs ;
and promotes easy exj>ectoratioii and eentlc perforation,
relaxing stricture of the lungs, throat, and every other part.
But in nothing is its excellence more manifestly seen and
acknowledged than in all kinds and stages of
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
It w orks wonders in cases of Ftuor Albus or Whites Fall
ing of the Womb, Obstructed, Suppress! and, or Painful .Menses,
Irregularity of the menstrual j»eriods, and the like ; and
is .as effectual in curing all the forms of Kidney Disease*.
By removing obstructions, and regulating me general
system, it gives tune and strength to the w hole body, aud
thus cures all forms of
Nervous diseases aud debility, -
and thus prevents or relieves a great variety of other mala
dies, as Spinal irritation. Neuralgia, St. Vitus' Dance
Swooning, Epileptic Fits, Convulsions , &c.
It cleanses the blood, excites the liver to healthy action,
tones the stomach, and gives good digestion, relieves the
bowels of torpor and constipation, allays inflammation,
purifies the skin, equalises the circulation of the blood,
producing gentle warmth equally all over the body, and
the insensible perspiration; relaxes all strictures and tight
uess, removes all obstructions, and invigorates the entire
nervous system. Is not this then
The medicine you pre-eminently need ?
But can any of these things be said of 55. P. Tow nsend’s
lufer.or article? J his voting man’s liquid is not to be
COMPARED WITH THE OLD DR’S,
because of ono GRAND TAUT, that the one is LNCWPA
ULC of DETERIORATION, and
NEVER SPOILS,
while the other DOES ; souring, fermt tiling, and bloving
the bottles containing it into fragments ; the sour, acid liquid
exploding, and damaging other goods ! Must not this horri
ble compound lie poisonous to the system ? What! put
acid into a system already diseased with acid I What causes
l)yspe]»sla but acid 7 Do we not all know that when food
sours in our stomachs, w hat mischiefs it produces ? flatu
lence, heartburn, palpitation of the heart, liver complaint,
diarrhoea, dysentery, colic, and corruption ol the bioodt
What is Scrofula but an acid humor in the body 1 What
produces all the humors w hich bring on Eruptions of the
Hkin, Scald Head, Salt Rhcuui, Erysipelas, White Swell
lugs, Fever Sores, and all ulcerations internal and external?
It is nothing under heaven, but an acid substance, which
sours, and thus spoils all the fluids of the body, more or
.ess. What causes Rheumatism but a sour or acid fluid
which insinuates itself between the joints and elsew here,
irritating and inflaming the delicate tissues up >n w'hich it
nets? 550 of nervous diseases, of impurity of i.to blood, <u
deranged circulations, and nea«ly all the ailments which
afflict human nature.
Now is it not horrible to make and sell, ana infinitely
worse to Ufc this
MD;KiNG. FERMENTING, ACID “ COM
POUND” OF S. P. TOWNSEND,
liid yet he w oulu fain have it understood that Old Dr. Jacob
Townsend's Genuine Original Sarsaparilla, is an IMITA
TION of his Inferior preparation !!
Heaven forbid that we should deal in an article which
would bear tho most distant resemblance to 53. P. Town
send’s article! and which should bring down upon the Old
Dr. such a mountain load of complaints and criminations
from Agents who have sold, and purchasers who have used
3. P. Townsend’s FERMENTING! COMPOUND.
We wish it understood, because it is the absolute truth,
that 55. P. Townsend’s article and Old Dr. Jacob 'Town
mend’s Sarsaparilla aro heaven-wide apart, and infinitely dis
similar ; that they are unlike in every particular, having
not one single thing in common.
As S. I*. Townsend is no doctor, and nover was, Is no
chemist, no pharmaceutist—knows no more of medicine or
disease than any other common, unscientific, unprofessional
man. w hat truarantcc can the public have that they are re
ceiving a genuine scientific medicine, containing all the
virtues of the articles used in preparing it. and w hich are in
capable of changes which might render them the AGENTS
of Disease instead of health.
But what else should be exacted from one W’ho know*
nothing comparatively of medicine or disease ! It requires
a |>crson of some exjierience to cook and serve up even a
common decent meal. How much more important is it that
the |>ersous who manufacture medicine, designed for
WEAK STOMACHS AND ENFEEBLED SYSTEMS,
should know well the medical properties of plants, the
host manner of securing and concentrating their healing
virtues, also an extensive knowledge of the various diseases
which affect the human system, aud how to adapt remedies
lo these diseases!
It is to arrest frauds upon tho unfortunate, to pour balm
into wounded humanity, to kindle hope in the despairing
bosom, to restore health and bloom, and vigor into the
crushed and broken, and to banish Infirmity that OLD DR.
JACOB TOWNSEND has SOUGHT and FOUND the op
portiinity and nu ans to bring his
Grand Universal Concentrated
Remedy
within the reach, and to the knowledge of all who need it,
that they may learn and know, by joyful experience, its
Transcendent Power to Ileal.

Smith is a printer by profession, and is
ed in that office—be relates his experience
after all is the best criterion by which to jud
of the value of remedies. Advertisements anrf
high sounding statements may be set forth anH
thus give an ephemeral character and existen **
to remedies, which when judged by this te x
lose all their value, and become defunct; not ’
however, with those which have thus been te t'

Macon, Jan. U, 1850.
S. J. Ray, Editor Georgia Telegraph :
Dear Sir: —While so many certificates of
individuals living off at great distances are an.
pearing in the papers commendatory of Bal
sams, Syrups, Pills and Powders, I think it hut
right that medical research and superior success
of some of our practitioners at home should be
made known to our community, that those of
our neighborhood who are afflicted may not on
ly save their health hut thoir money also, and at
the same lime encourage the efforts of those wfio
would give character and consequence to this
section of the Union. 1 have been led to these
remarks by tho teachings of my own expert.
About seven years ago I was attacked with a
disease of the liver and lungs, accompanied with
hcemorrhnge or spitting of blood, with sever*
and most harrnssing and distressing cough,cold
sweats of nights, with a wasting diarrhicrj and
a great part of the time confined to my bed’ and
so debilitated generally, that I could do hut lit
tie in the way of business 1 thus continued
for over five years, making every effort during
that time to regain my health. 1 firstapplied to
thephyscians ofSavannah, where I then resided
but their efforts failed to relieve me. I then
tried Houck’s Panacea for a long time then
Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry, &c., till I hod
spent hundreds of dollars in their purchase and
still found myself as bad off as before. I then
applied to your townsman, Dr. M. S. Thomson
who I am happy to say, after treating my case
some 6 or 7 months, restored me to sound, and
I believe to permanent health, for I am now and
have been for the last 18 months in the enjoy
ment of uninterrupted health. This is my ex
poricncc, and I doubt not you will agree with
me in the opinion, that I have good reasons for
recommending the Doctor and his remedies in
cases of this kind, far above the most eminent
physicians whose skill I had tested, and the far
famed and much boasted balsams and panaceas
with which I had been dosed. Let others do
likewise, if they would he cured, and that they
may not perish for lack of knowledge, I here
by request that you will give publicity to ir.y
statement in your widely circulating sheet, and
much oblige yours, respectfully,
JOHN 11. SMITH.
The following letters arc given, not so much
on account of the facts they contaiu, though they
are important, as to give an idea or specimen of
many of the same kind that are borne to the
subscriber by almost every Mail from the North,
South, East and West. They were not intended
for publication, and arc therefore the more to be
relied on, and appreciated.

Dr. M. S. TftoMson,
Denr Sir :—I hope you will excuse n.e for not
writing to you sooner. 1 have not forgot you,
I neither will 1 forget to pay you when 1 sell my
cotton.
1 am much gratified in being able to announce
that iny soil has got almost entirely well, so
much so, that all those symptoms of disease
have left him, hut the enlargement of the spleen
which has not entirely gone. To look at his
situation eight months hack, and to look at him
now, it seems almost as one risen from the dead.
I say to you, there is no more healthy looking
youth in all this county, indeed his whole sys
tem is regular and easy. God knows how lung
he will remain so, but 1 hope he will to the end
of life. He has not taken any medicine for the
last four months, yet he is thirty pounds heaver
than before that time. 1 had applied to Physi
cians, of both the Mineral and Botanic Schools,
of eminent general qualifications, hut all to no
benefit, but thanks to God, and gratitude to you
for his restoration. My feelings are indeed un.
speakuble. BENJAMIN JONES.

Dr. M. S. Thomson,
Dear Sir :—lt is with pleasure that 1 write to
you, to inform you of the improvement of my
health. 1 have followed your directions as near

not changed much in my appearance, but surely
in my feelings lam well. I now can enjoy my*
self with my family, my neighbors and even
myself; this world looks bright, and I feel hap

to make sure of it, please send it and oblige,
Yours respectfully, WM. W. WALKL'I!
