!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.

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.

But to the com munication, it will speak for itself. 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. Benjamin Jones' Letter. Traveller's Rest, Dooly Cos. Ga. ) January 16, 1850. $ 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. Wm. IP. Walker's Letter. Warthen's Store, Washington Cos. ) January 2,1850. j Dr. M. S.
