Col. Towns’ of Vcceptance.
/ EJ,turn. —I hnve been not a little amused
U „ I | l i s remarkable production in connexion with
’'comments of the “ Editor of the Telegraph there-!
’ •• and the vaunting challenge which that gentlamnn
°n’ ‘jeht ufthe quill throws down to men of ull parties ;
V „ad thia letter of Col. T carefully, and sec it they
10 find “one word that was intended as a loop-hole to
can 1(> f rolll popular ilisplensttre ;if his stand should
iTp pen to prove diptasteful.” The Editor in the very
paragraph, roundly asserts that this cannot Is’ done
t” a opinion we are sure is honest; but at the same
W e must be permitted to express our belief that it
■ it origin in “those party affinities” which Is l fore the
wit egnfthe letter“madc the editor partial to the an
••in the sentiment which makes him fairly warm
towards the Colonel ;”and‘‘in the stronger anil far more
fervid emotions” to which lie now so candidly confrss
’ \Ve were sure Upon first reading the letter, that
this could not be the conclusion of a fair and impartial
■ , nt for the contrary of all which is here insisted
sin must be apparent, upon the most cursory perusal
nf the letter, by any one who does not li'el unbounded
•irtinlity for the writer. The whole letter is but a
gs cond edition of the device which has rendered the
name of Archbishop Morton so famous. This prelate
was employed by Henry VII, to raise means by an un
just and unconstitutional system of miscalled benevo
i,,nirs, or contributions apparently voluntary, though in
(•wt extorted from his richer subjects, to carry on the war
occasioned by Ethe marriage of Anne of Brittany with
Charles VIII. and is represented by historians as hav
ing placed rich merchants and others whom he asked
,o contribute in’ n most awkward dilemma. “They
who lived handsomely, that their opulence was mani
fest bv their rate ofexpenditure.” “Those again whose
course ofliving was less sumptuous,must have grown rich
by their economy.” Either class could well afford assist
ance to their sovereign This piece oflogic unanswer
able in the mouth of a privy Counsellor acquired the
name of “Morton’s fork.” We think that by showing
the similitude of the conclusions at which the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, has arrived from premi
ses not only wholly dissimilar to each other, but abso
lutely inconsistent, we shall fairly entitled this epistle
to the soubriquet of “Towns’ fork.”
It seems then that the Col. concurs with the political
principles contnined in the resolutions adopted hy the
Convention which nominated him; but as if this were
not enough to give the party satisfactory assurance of
hie fealty, he goes on to enumerate most of those reso
lutions and to give inadhesion to each one separately.
The Wiltnot Proviso is most unsparingly denounced,
and with this we have no fault to find ; had Col. Towns
stopped here and pointed us to his vote upon the Oregon
Territorial Bill, we should not have had one word to!
say; but when he pretends that the origin and final
ratification of this measure—“this strange amalgama
tion of religious fanaticism and political knavery” as he
terms it, nrc not generally known, we must be- j
lieve him insincere and are obliged to deem it a device :
to smother up the political sins of those northern states
men who are agreed in sentiment on most subjects with
the Col , and to shield them from the odium which they
so richly deserve at the hands of the South. The ori
gin and progress of this whole scheme are as palpable
to the great body of the nation as the noon-day sun—
seen and known by all men, of all “parties who pos- j
sess the slightest observation. For years back we have
been taught hy Democratic leaders to believe that their .
brethren of the North, were the natural allies of the
South, nnd that our salcty depended ujton preserving a j
close union with them. This assurance so freely given I
in the public prints and addresses nf the time, we have!
never placed any reliance in—we believed then (and i
future events have only served to confirm that belief,)!
that neither party at the North made a monopoly of the
anti-slavery agitation and fanatics, and if there is now !
any difference between the two parties upon that sub
ject, the difference so fur ns we are concerned, is a- ei- J
dedly in favor of the Whig party. W’iimot, the auth< r
of this celebrated proviso, the organ of those who origi
nated and ratified it, is a free trade Democrat, of the
straightest nnd strictest sect of pretended strict construc
tionistsfiom the Suite of Pennsylvania, over whose re
election to Congress, most of the Southern Democra-’
cy went into ecstacics. He and those who follow him I
are in favor of the Requisition of territory for the express
purpose of agitating this dangerous nnd delicate ques
tion, while such of the Northern Whigs as support his
proviso, (and moot of them do,) do so only with a de
sire as they profess, of keeping other territory out of the
Union They then nre opitosed to the pretext for this
disturbance, and seek to check it by defeating its cause
—while the Northern Democrats favor the pretext for
the soke of the agitation. This w e verily believe is the
difference between the two great parties at the North
upon this question. Whether it ts safe to trust either,!
we leave to the body of the people to determine, for our
selves, we can truly say, Timeo Dunams et dona fe- ]
rente 8.
But how can we account for the remarkable passage |
tit Col. Towns’ letter, approving the I tarry usage of,
holding conventions to nominate a President 1 Does I
not Col Towns know—to not every man wellapprised
of the fact, that there will be Wilmot men in tltat Con
vention, with whom these Southern Democrats must
confer 1 What boots it, then, to say that they go there
with the understanding that they will support no man
who is not unequivocally opposed to the Wilmot provi
so I They cannot make this a condition precedent to
their admission into that body. If they did so, they
would certainly be excluded—nay, if they became meni
bere of that Convention at all, they would have to
pledge themselves to abide its action, aud 1 think it not
improbable that the Wilntot wing would huve the ma
jority These resolutions of the Democratic Conven
tion. both of which Col. Towns approves, nre flatly con
tradictory of each other. The Convention to nominate
a President, cannot and will not coincide with the views
expressed in the last resolution, to which reference is
made, and if the Democrats blindly go into such a Con
vention with a hope of having a majority, they will find
themselves sndly disappointed and will be at the end ol
its deltlterations in a truly pitiable condition, bound hy
conflicting pledges, both of which, it w ill lie impose
blc to redeem. If the Democratic Convention were re
ally sincere in the pledges they gave, nut to support any
man for the Presidency who wns not unequivocally op
,KcJ to the proviso ; why, we ask, did they consent to
go into a Convention nt nil, where it would he almost
certain there would In’ a majority in the anti-slavery in
terests and views I Did they expect, did they hope to
effect a good compromise with desperate, retigioua fan
atics and political knaves! Ay, “there’s the nth.”—
Tips is the flattering unction they lny to their souls—
compromise is the false cry by which Southern people
are to be lulled into repose. • Tis the voice of the sy
ren luring them to their ruin and if they nre let
them turn a deaf ear to it. There can he no compro
mise upon this subject; any tiling yielded to the North,
will be a cowardly concession of well settled rights, nnd
a base and pusillanimous abandonment of the cardinal
principle in the whole controversy—a principle which |
we have always cherished, und which is supported ns
well hy reason as authority from the case of Homerset in j
England down to the present time, to wit: ‘Flint slavery t
•s exclusively asuhjeet of domestic regulation with which
no other power has any right to interfere; and by conced
ing or compromising as some prefer to call it, we !
certainly admit this right in Northern fnnnticn, or at ®
least give strong color to their pretence of right. Such!
eotteeasions so far from checking this agitation, will on
ly embolden these des|s-rntely designing tnen ami im
pertinent itttermedlera in the prosecution of their tmlml-
I'twetl and infamous purpoaes.
1 be policy here pointed out, is servile nnd rowariily
in the extreme, ami will only tend to hasten the down
fall of domestic slavery in the South and West, Mr
llnum is undoubtedly right in standing entirely aloof
‘•nt these party entails and caucuses nnd planting our
‘‘•nut upon the clear intent and meaning of the Consti
b"ti, exhorting us at all linztirila to inniiutiin the rights
solemnly guaranteed to us, and to rely upon ourselves,
nd ouraelvea alone for protection agninst the robbery
and outrage now meditated upon us. Now we mueh
pufer the coimie pursued by the Whig Convention to
‘hut ol our adversaria*, nnd our friend of the Telegraph !
I cautiously examining the proceedings of both Con- j
’ tttiiitjs, would et rtuinly have come to the conclusion |
11.! it Would have been better to hnve spared the public
b'dowittg patlutic Jeremiad upon Gen. Clinch suit
11 ’ I htg ( onvertton. He ark;, “can it bt apt aA)h

, nutsi say, .lint the charges here insinuated against
ngs and their candidate, are so p't’pi'rtrroii- and
to all the facts of the record, that we eould not
1 fain our risible* while reading them It in a palpa
My impossible thing tltat the Whig party have, by a
“deliberate prepense action determined to evade any
committal of their candidate upon this question.” In
the first plane, their candidate,and they well know it,
does not h long to the non-committal school m politics ;
he is a blunt, frank, honest, sturdy old gentleman,
who carries bis heart upon big sleeve and who would
seoni to conceal hie opinion* upon political subjects from
the people, by whose suffrages he will Ite elevated to
the Executive chair. Gen. Clinch loathes deception,
and all fraud we nre sure, is most foreign from his warm,
manly and sincere nature. His whole lit- proves thir’
nny, furthermore, we are well assured that he hearti
ly coineides with the views of the Convention thatnom
innted him, nnd that Convention did not like their op
ponents, content themselves with a hollow pledge not
to support for the Presidency any Wilmot proviso man,
hut denounced that measure ns “unjust, unequal and
unconstitutional, ’ and pledged their support to a candi
date for the Presidency who they felt well assured would
hnve both the will nnd ability from his tried patriotism,
his unquestioned wisdom and known integrity, to repel
any invasion upon the rights of the South. No man
can doubt tltat Gen. Taylor is right upon this question.
Here is a pledge far stronger nnd more reliable than any
the Democracy have given The Whigs have not only
declared their views, hut they hnve nctiiully indi
cated their choice of an individual to carry out these
views. They have not left this important question to
be determined by a molly Convention composed of pol
iticians whose opinions nre ns various nnd conflicting
as the views nnd interests of this wide spread and rapid
ly growing republic, and have refrained from placing
themselves in surh a position ns to make pledges whol
ly at variance with each other. How then does it hap
pen that Gen. Clinch does not stand on ground far more
exalted than any which his opponent occupies ! Who
is the candidate of the Democratic party for the Presi
dency? Who will Col Towns support 1 Arc they
prepared to cast their votes for John C. Calhoun or any
other eminent politician whose opinions upon this sub
ject cannot he douhted ? We opine not. Mr Calhoun
wns openly denounced upon the floor of the Convention
hy the partisans and friends of Col. Towns, and had
among all the members then and there assembled,
“scarce a kind lriend, or pitying foe.”—Nay, more, the
resolution offered in that Convention nominating
Gen Taylor, subject to the decision of a National
Convention, was absolutely hooted out, derided, ridi
culed Now, why was all this! Was it because the
leading spirit of the Convention had voted in Congress
for the Oregon Territorial Bill, which contained'’ the
Wilmot Proviso ? Was it because Thomas Hart Ben
ton had counselled compromise and his efforts hod been
seconded by a portion of the party press and leaders of
Georgia! We fear it is all attributable to this cause!
for we cannot shut our eyes to the twaddle about com
promise in the alteration made by the Convention in
the Virginia resolutions—Nay, more, we have been in
formed upon reliable authority, that Mr. Cobb look
up much of the precious time of the Convention in un
foldingthe beauties of compromise ,and a vast majority of
the assembly finally went with him in the adoption o<
those resolutions so highly approved by his friend Col.
1 ow'ns. In all this, what evidence of desertion is
there by the Whigs of the cause of the South. Need
we ask what evidence it affords of a timid, cautious,
time serving policy’ on the part of the Democracy—nay,
not the Democracy—the rank and file are honest and
reliable—we rather intended to say, the would-be lead
ers of the Democracy! There are many other things in
this letter we should be pleased to notice, but time and
space forbid At some leisure moment we will give our
attention to Col. Towns’ views of Strict Construction
and the Mexican war, which offer us a wide and de
lightful field. There are some rich morsels to be glean
ed front this repast which the Col. lias so condescend
ingly famished his readers.
In conclusion, we bid our friend of the Telegraph
adieu, nnd request him to repress the flow of bus patriot
ic tears over the fallen fortunes of the Whigs and the
deplorable state of the land, until he has made goodly
proof of the charges which he has insinuated against
the beloved and venerated hero of the Withlacoochee.
He need not fear that the Whigs have given his candi
date an advantage before, the people hy what he is
pleased to term their equivocal and dej.lorable prudence.
The hoot is on the other leg—our candidate has decid
edly the advantge in this regard, and so far as the
feelings ot tit • Whig pat ty at the South are concerned,
we have the precious consolation of knowing that if it
depenjed upon their action alone, the interests of our
common country arc safe. PATSALIGA.

C’ol. Towns’ Indci^nd^nce.
The Democratic papers, and especially the Macon
Telegraph, seem to Ik* perfectly delighted with the
J “ independence” manifested by Col. Towns, in his let
ter of acceptance, on the subject ofthe “YV boot provi
so.” Great praise i bestowed on him for coining out
| and giving his views boldly on that important question,
■ while Gen Clinch is censured for not giving his views
l on the same sub e C t Some think that all opposition to
i Col Towns ought now to cease For he has had the bold
ness to express ftn opinion on a vital question to the
South, and in regard to which he very well knows, there
is not a man , t coman, child or negro in Georgia, who
differs from him. Such a perfect disregard for conse
quences to himself, as Col. Towns has thus exhibited,
certinly cannot be overlooked by the people of the State.
The bravery, boldness/md independence of Gen. Clinch,
are I believe .doubted by none, yet he had not the hardi
hood in accepting a nomination for the office of Gov
ernor, to express an opinion on a subject of such vast
importance as the ‘‘Wilinot pioviso”—and, esjiecially,
when he knew that the whole population of Georgia,
coincided with him in opinion in his opposition to that
mcasnre What astonishes me, is that Col. Towns has
not long since volunteered to go to the Mexican War
to “give aid and comfort” to his political friend Mr Polk!
Men of much less “ independence” and boldnew, have
gone there and fought bravely. And I shall not be
surprised yet to find Col Towns beating up for volun
teers to fight the battles of our country in Mexico. I
am sure that a man of Rich great boldness and inde
pendence cannot much longer be kept away from the
field of battle and of glory. That he is against the
“ Wilmot proviso ” is not surprising, for so is the whole
South; it is natural that it should be so; but that he should
come out and publicly express it, when everybody agrees
with him, and thereby ha/rard his election to the Chief
Magistracy of the State, is to me, indeed, surprising
Had not his friends better tnke him down, and put up
someone else*;? —he can “speak,” and it seems he can
write too,—he is a man though of most reckless bold
ness and independence, nnd of decidedly too little pru
dence,—take him down and send him to the “wars”
a station for which his boldness and independence |>eeu
hnrly fit him
By the way, speaking of the excessive boldness and
independence of the Democratic nominee, will you be
good enough, Messrs. Editors, to inform your readers
how many votes Col. Towns dodged during the last
j Congress 7 It would he a curious calculation and prove
his faithfulness and efficiency as a public servant.

Messrs. Editors :—Permit me to say n few’ words
through your (taper, touching certain matters of local
importance. Saturday week, being u rainy day, I was
ot home, quietly reading, when there knocked at my
door two little girls, poorly clad and dripping wet On
being questioned as to their business, they said their
mother sent them to ask for a little meat —that their
father was absent,and they hadn’t a mouthful at home—
ami if I would let her have it, she would pay for it in
sewing I questioned the children, to know who their
mother was. They gave me her name, and said she
lived in Macon, near Mr. ——'a brick ware house. 1
thought to myself, is it possible that the good people of
that part of the city, wiii let these poor little girls travel
two miles into the country, through the rain, to beg for
n little meat for their dinner ! To these good citixens
1 have hut n word to say.- -how can you neglect so great
a privil* g —nay, privilege, did I any?—so great a
duty for it certainly is your imh*|*:iiHable duty tu
feed the poor.
But, permit nie to *k, what fan become of the stew
ards ot the (>oor —the lnf< nor Court I Have tin yl* need
up and shut in every avenue to sympathy for the aufler-
I ing poor ? The law constitutes them the special guar
dians of this class of population. Os the Court, 1 there
; lore nsk, whnt ore you doing 1 Do net the people of
i Ylibb county pay a l nvy tax to support the poor?—
(’mainly. Then what luis become of it? As we pay
the tnx, we may as well know something of tie manner
in which it is disbursed- specially as we see no pro
vision made for the objects fer whose h.-in-fit this tnx is
levied.
Verily, there is reason to f*nr,thnt things arc getting
Wfirse, instead of better, tinder the management of
!iisreform Court. They should recollect. though, that
trust funds are snored—made so by both moral and
State low, find those who are regardless of the one, are
mill amenable to the other. I have no wish, Mensrs.
Editors, to annoy the Court hv threatening legal pm
altics, hut ns I know some of them to be conscientious
men, I would remind them that Providence will hardly ,
excuse them for failing in their obligations to the poor, i
W bile on matters connected with the Inferior Court,!
permit me to call their attention to the Bridge at Ilai~ ,
ley s Mill This bridge is itt n very unsafe condition.
The lust Gram! Jury directed their attention to that fact, j
nnd still they seem to pay no regard to it. In one in
stance. to mv knowledge, the matter was mentioned to
a member of the Gourt, nnd the answer was, “ we have
paid liniley to fix it.” To fix it how? Why, merely
to lev down a new floor un old sleepers, nnd put up one
small post, without tenant ormortice at either end, from
the mud-sill to the cap. Now, I maintain that this ar
rangement is improper, because deceptive and danger
ous. It presents the appearance of safety to travellers,
when, in my opinion, it is a mere trap, that will catch
some unwary passenger before the next business season
expires.
The Inferior Court nre also the guardians of tlte
travelling community, so far ns roads aud bridges nre
concerned, us well us the poor; and if that bridge should
happen to full in, and injure the person or property of
atty body, the t ourt will be liable for heavy damages in
money to the party suffering from their neglect And
it a casualty ol that kind should result jit the loss of
life, l nsk ill all seriousness, would the court Ite without
reproach ?
Think of that, gentlemen of the Inferior Court, and
do your duty. The people are nble and willing to feed
the poor nnd pny for good bridges. It is your duty to
levy the taxes and see them properly applied That
you may look to these tnntters in time to clear your
skirts from blunte, is the friendly advice of 8188.

Railroad Meeting at Fort Valley.
At a meeting of a portion nf the citizens ol Fort Val
ley and vicinity, the following preamble and resolutions
were adopted:
It is proposed to hnve n meeting at Fort Valiev on the
25th of the present month, (August) for flic purpose of
nseertning the views and feelings of the citizens of the
County on the projected Railroad from Macon through
our county, to the South-western part of the State.
There will be gentlemen who have experience in tlte
building of Railroads to meet us on thnt day, nnd ad
dress us on the subject. Farmers of Houston, we now
hnve an opportunity ofthrowing off that incubus which
has hung so heavily over our farms, viz: the hauling of
our Cotton to Macon in our wagons.
There is a spirit up in the citizens of Savannah and
Macon, and the South-western counties, which if we
I meet in a proper manner, will secure the building of the
Road. It is not expected, nor from the sad experience
of some other Roads would it be good policy, for a tew
farmers to undertake to build such a Road.
But let us all come up to the work, and then we will
see the good effects, When we look at the majestic
Mississippi rolling its huge waters into the Gulf, we nnt
itntlly ask ourselves, whence comes this mighty stream
of water! We will tell you whence it comes—go
to the A'leghany.the Rocky Mountains, nnd there behold
the thousands of small streams issuing front their sides
ami wintling themselves into a common channel and
then again into others, until they form the mighty river.
Look under your feet as you tread upon the sides
of those mountains, and you will see one of the heads
nf that gigantic stream gurgling front under a leaf.
And so it will he with the fanners of Houston nnd the
tdjoining counties; let each and every one come up
with his mite, and we will have the means to build n
Road of which not only our county, hut our State, will
be proud.
Resolved, That the following gentlemen be a Com
mittee to invite gentlemen from abroad to address the
meeting, viz: Wm. J. Anderson, Win. H. Hollins
head, Win. Felton, Lewis Rumph and Geo. Slappy.
Resolred, That the proceedings of this meeting be

The Resignation.
The Columbus Enquirer reminds the ppople of
Georgia, thnt Col. Towns, in 1836, resigned his seat in
Congress, as it was generally believe and at the time, to en
gage in a speculation in Western lands The object of
all the companies which existed at that day, wns to
purchase the lands at government price, and sell them
to the people at enormous profits Hundreds of poor
settlers were thus ruined. That Mr. Towns had a
right to employ his means or credit in any way he
thought proper, is not denied ; but it is questionable
whether he had a right to throw up a public trust, given
to him, with his own consent, by tlte people, for the pur
pose alleged. He then put the people of Georgia to the
trouble and expense of holding an election to supply his
place, and the Enquirer very properly asks:
“ Is there a man in Georgia that would confer the Ex
ecutive office upon Col. Towns with the belief that it
would be vacated the liist moment a western speculation
tempted the incumbent to desert it I What assurance is
there that the same course previously pursued would
not be followed out again! None whatever.”
A Scathing Rebuke.
The Savannah Republican deals out to the Editor of
the Athens Danner the following just and scathing re
buke
“ The Editor of the Southern Banner is informed that
this paper is the organ of no man. It is the advocate
of the cherished principles of the Whig party ; and to
carry them out,and to preserve to the people of Georgia ;
an honest and economical administration of the State 1
affairs, it advocates and supports the election of that j
tried patriot and sterling Whig, Gen. Clinch.
We have never approved of the vote of censure upon
Gen. Taylor by the late Democratic House of Rep
resentatives. We have never supported the President
in hia studied and marked effort to defame our gallant
leaders in Mexico— Scott and Taylor.
We never supported the darling scheme of the Ad
ministration, to supercede and disgrace Scott and Tay
lor, by the ele. ation of humbug Benton, a Wilmot
Proviso Democrat, over their heads.
We never approved of the famous “ pass” to Mexico,
given to Santa Anna, by which our enemies were sup
plied with a skilful General and leader.
We never sustained or approved of the conduct of
this war by the President—ol the wanton sacrifice of
life on the banks ot the Rio Grande, by (K-stileuce,
owing to the shameful neglect of the Administration,
in not providing the most ordinary meana of protection
from the inclement weather during the sickly season.
We have never given “ aid and comfort” to our ene
mies, by assuring them that one half ot tlie people ot ;
tins country were traitors to their country, and Mexi- 1
cans in sympathy.
We never advocated the commencement of this war |
to recover from Mexico tin* debt she owed us, as well as ‘
the ex\*enses oj collection, and after we had got into |
it, the more disgraceful scheme of buying a peace.
We advocate a guruus and energetic prosecution 1
ot the war, witii ail the means within uic control ol the !
Notion, and by the cordial and hearty co-operation of i
every branch of the public service—but we will un- !
eeasmgly denounce the demagogue who, for a tempo
rary personal or party benefit, defames our best Gener
al*—paralyses their etlbrt*, and jeopardises lls* safety ot ’
our entire array. When the Editor of the Banner can
say a* much—when he (having been one of the pnnei- j
pal instruments in th i Annexation of Texas, tin* elec
tion ot Polk, and the consequent war with Mexico,)
sliall buckle on Ins armor, volunteer tor the war, uud
take his stand with that gallant body ot patriot Wings
who, by their unflinching bravery, fortitude and skill,
have reflected additional lustre upon the American
name—when he shall have become as one of these, he
may, with some show of decency and propriety, qu*s
j ttoti the patriotism of others.”
Anecdote ol Gen. Taylor.
The Mississippi volunteer* relate an anecdote ilins
traiing General Taylor’s characteristic goodm of
heart. Boon after the battle of .Monterey, and during
the excessively hot weather, from which officers and
men sutlered sev rely, some gentlemen scut Gen. Tay
lor tor hia private use,a barrel of ice, and n quantity of
i delicious eiaiet. The precious burthen wax deposited at
the General's totit, with a note from the donor; alter
politely acknowledging which, its* obi hero caused the
{ in ad cl the barrel to be knocked out, and taking far his
. own u>'<! a lump ns large ns his fist, sent the whole of
the remainder and the claret, to the hospital, far the use
;of the sick soldiers. This if hut one instance, out of ma
ny, ol the considerate and Stfit-ncrilkdflg generosity and
humanity of Gen. Taylor's character.
Wc suite this fact ujm>u the authority ofs geiilleinan
who had it fiom the Volunteers. Such con- I
duct adds u new lustre to th* old hero's radiant tame,
brighter than any which tne most brilliant deed* of,

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP HIBERNIA
AT BOSTON.
FIVE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
Tlte steamer Hibemin, Ryrie, from Liverpool, 20th,
via Halifax, 31st, arrived at 6 30 A. M.
A Liverpool date of her day of sailing, states that du
ring the previous ten days, the weather had been almost
unimeniptedly fine, and each day strengthened the ex
pectations entertained of nn abundant harvest of grain
throughout the British Islands, and all Europe. The
henvy decline in corn, which took place at the begin
ing ot the month hnd been checked since the 12th
The market hns again given way. The prospects of
still receiving large supplies from the United States,
nnd hy way of the Mediterranean, added to the fine
weather which prevails in all quarters, depressed the
I mttrket, which presented every aspect of a downard
movement.
1 he potato crop was represented to he free from dan
ger, anti contribute not a little to arti'ct prices. During
the week, however, ending on the2oih, the market had
Iteen mueh firmer—the prices of the 12th became cur
rent, and were maintained throughout the week, and on
the 19th, in Mark Lane, a further advnnee of one shil
ling took place. The trade in Indian com wis, how
ever, quite paralysed, and flour ill barrels was quite neg

Messrs A. B. A D. Snud-—Having used your Snr

fei’ts on one o| my children. I feel it to be a duty I owe
tin community to make the rase public. About two
years.ago my lift!'* son was attacked with Scrofula or
King s r.vd, which broke out in eight or nine places
round t.ie neck and jaw, am I finally n fleeted his eyes,
rendering Siim entirely Hind. During the first year
from the time he was taken, he was attended by several
phycans, hut continued to get worse until I despaired
ol his ever getting well. Having seen your Sarsaparilla
advertised with certificates of its cures, I concluded I
would give it a trial, and accordingly sent to Cincin
nati and procured a few bottles, and now, after having
used nine bottles, 1 have the gratification of saying lie
is well. The sores are nil entirely henlrd, ami ntssight
nearly as good as ever it was: md I have no hesitation
in saying, that he was entirely cured by the use of your
Sarsaparilla.
