IS REQUIRED TO OURK ANY ONE TROUBLED WITH
I Liver Cos npl&ints, unless the most depernte ot cases,when
the tocond bottle will, with carce a singlelailure restore the
patient U hen!tu and vigor. We wish, to call theuttention of
ail to these lacts, that tho Invigorator is compounded by a
physician who has .-.ed it in his practice for the past twenty
y. jus with, a success almost and that it is entlre-
Iv vegetab e, being composed wholly ot gums.
’ Horn.-idea or the strong-h of these .gums may be formed
when it is known one 4 t)oule of the Invigoraior contains as
much strength as one hundred ‘loses t ol Calomel, without any
ol its deleterious effects.
< )ne bottle is the surest’ thing known to carry away the bad
effects oi mineral poison of any kind.
Only one bottle is needed to tivo v out of the system the ef
fects of medicine after along sickness.
On bottle .taken for ja ir.Jice lemoves all yellowueas or J
unnatural color From the skin. j

* ne dose taken after each meal will cure Dyspepsia.
One dose of two tea-spoonsful wilt always relieve Sick
Headache.

of the disease, and makes a pric-cl cuie.

One dose often repeated is a sure cure.fr Cholera Morbus,
and a sure preventative ol Ohoier.;.
On,! dose taken often will prevml the recurrence of bil
ious attacks,while it it relieves-mH painful r ieetngs.
One or two doses taken occasionally is oue of the best rem
edies for a cold ever known.
Thousands of cases of in ilamm at ion and weakness or the
lungs have been cured by tho Invigorator.
Oue dose taken a short, time betore eating gives vigor to
the appetite and makes .lood digest will.
One dose often repeated cures chronic diarrhena in its worst
forms, while summer and bowel eomplaints .yield almost to
the first dose. ... ..
one or two doses cures attacks caused by worms, white lor
worm* m childreu, there is no surer, safer and speedier rem
edy in the world, as it never fails.
There is no exaggeration in these ’statements, they ar;- plain
and sober tacts, that we cun give evidence to pr >ve; while all
who use it are giving their unanimous testimony in its favor.
Wo wish all who are sick and debilitated lo try this remedy
and test it thoroughly, and any who are not benefited by i‘>
u.*ewe should like to Lear from, as we have yet lo hear from
the first person who has uted a bottle of Invigorator without
receiving benefit, <or t there are such a .to ashing medicinal
, itfies in it, that all, no matter show Hong they h.ove been af
fccted, it their complaint arises from a deranged liver, will be
benefited, if not entirely ented.

| letter oi CiPii. Walker to iho Presidcut of the
I'nlied states.
Washington, June 15, 1357.
. On the first o* May last I entered into a conveu
tmn with Commander Davis, of the United Stat.-s sloop
*St. Mary’s, to evacuate the town of Rivas, in the Territo
| Nicaragua. Justice to myself, as well as to the Re
: public ol which I claim to be the riglillul and lawful chief
; executive, requires me to communicate to your excellency
the circumstances which attended this convention. And
in order that tlie evunls which led to the agreement be
tween Commander Davis and myself may be more fully
understood, I beg leave to narrate some facts connected
w * a *'y piesem-t’ and authority in Nicaragua, which have
never been properly presented .to the government of the Uni
ted Slates.
lu the month ol May, 1854, a few’ exiles from Nicaragua
landed in the port Reahjo, declared against the then exist
ing government ot tl; Republic, and secured within two
months possession of nearly ail the principal places in the
Mate, i Uey soon organized a provisional government,
bead It soon j
and organization. Castellan, therefore, sent to me—l was
then residing in San Francisco—a contract,authorizing me
to rai'O three hundred men lor the service of the provision
al government. Tins contract I rejected, because it was
contrary 10 the act of Congress cf 1818 ; and 1 sent back
the agent employed by Castellon, with instructions to se
cute, if possible, a grant of colonization, w hich would not
make me amenable to the law's of ihe United States.
Such a grant was obtained, and as soon as 1 received it
I showed it to the United States District Attorney for the
northern district of California, and to the general command
ing the Pacific division, who then had special powers and
instructions from the President, under the neutrality act of
, 1818 Both these officers informed me that 1 could act un
der the contract, not only without fear of interference on
their part, but with the exp.ess assurance that they would
do all in their power to forward the enterprise. Not only
did 1 sail from San Francisco with the approbation and
wefl-wi.-hes ofali ihe federal authorities, hut the American
sailors, from a revenue cutler then in port, actually bent
the sails lor the vessel as she was towed out of the harbor
After arriving at Kealejo, I and my fellow colonists
were regularly naturalized as citizensol Nicaragua, and it
, becatde necessary lor u to use our arms in defense ot the
| rights we had acquired utid r the provisional (lovernment.
I I< was soon apparent, however, that the presence of the
Americans in Nicatagua was not acceptable lo all the ad
| he rents of Cascllon, at.d i therefore info, tried the provia
j iot.aJ director that if our co operat on was injurious to his
| cause and prospects, we would willmg’y retire from the
country. But Castellon insisted that the. Americans were
t the omy hope for the Democrats, not only of Nicaragua
; but olall Central America, and he begged with ierveticy
and perseverance that we would not think of abandoning
him in his extremity. ‘1 bus appealed to and besought, we
undertook the campaign, which ended in a peace between
ths contending panics; and 1 may safely as.-ert that the
American iufLenoe was chiefly instrumental in achieving
the treaty ol the 23d October, 1855.
By this treaty of the 23d October,the old legitimist Gov
ernment recognized the rights of the Americans naturalized
in Nicaragua, under ihe grant from tlie provisional Gov*
ernrneut. Ar.d,.m order to restrain, as the legitimists said,
tue excesses of Die Democrats, made arrogant by their sue
cess, they insisted that I should retaiu command of ihe
army ot the Republic
Soon after the inauguration of the provisional President,
under the treaty oi the 23d October, one of the Americans
j in Nicaragua was acciedited as Minister to the United
! States. All American was selected by the provisional
! President, at the suggestion of members of his cabinet—
‘all natives of Nicaragua—that such a person would be
more acceptable jn the United States, from his knowledge of
| the language and laws ofthe country to which, he was sent,
j Unfortunately Tor Nicaragua and for Central America, this
: Minister was not received by the Government of the United
| Stares.
About the time the news < f the, re r usal on the part of the
United Stales i > recognize the Nicaraguan minister reach
ed Granada. General Cabafias was applying to the piovis
ional government lor assistance to regain his authority in
Honduras. I opposed thia policy and endeavored to im
press on the government that the first necessity ot Nicara
gua was peace. Instead of making war on Honduras, I
suggested the propriety ol sending notes to the other States
ot Central America, declaring our peaceful intentions arid
solic ting friendly intercom**. 7 hese suggestions prevail
ed with the provisional president,but were not palatable to
the niinitter of relations, Don Maximo Jerez, who resigned
in consequence of the peaceful policy pursued by the gov>
ernment.
In the meantime, decrees had been issued inviting emi
gratio.i to Nicaragua, ofieringgrants ot land and other pri
vileges to tuch as took up their residence in the State. Un
der these dec*ees a large number of American< arid other
loreigners emigrated io Nicaragua, and extensive interests
were acquired by them in the country.
As soon, however, as the other States oi Central Ameri
ca perceived the policy of the United States government,
they entered into a league for the expulsion of the Ameri
cans Irom -x icaragua. On the Ist of March, 185 G, Costa
Rica declared war, not against Nicaragua, hut against a
certain class of persons re.-ident there, and accompanied
this declaration with other deejess disgraceful to the age
and revolting to civilization. Costa Rica invaded our ter
ri.ory, and we repealed them.
But soon alter the enemy retired it became apparent that
Don Maximo Jeiez—who had ior his own puipoees again
entered the cabinet oftho Provisional President—was smart
ing under the delt*at ot his w r ar policy, and was conspiring
with Don Patricio Rivas to join the other Slates in their
opposition to the Americans. ‘Phis was so palpable that
in the election lor President, in June la&r, I became a can
didate before the people, and was elected by a large roa
ji.Titv. The great objection urged against my eleetiou was,
i that 1 was not a native of Nicaragua. The Constitution
0f1854, however, required no such qualification , aud Don
! Fruto Cbammorro himself was a native ot Guatemala. As
! the < thee of President was not known in the Constitution
S (,1 1838. u is clear that the qualitications tor the office were
| to be fixed by the Constitution ol 1851, which alone created
such a chief executive.
Duty to the Americans who had been invited to Nicara
{ gua required me to accept the place ot President, no mat
! ier how anxious 1 might be to escape iis labors and lespon
| sib.iities. 7 heir interests were to my eyes above and be
! yond all others ; for on them 1 verily believe the welfare of
i [ha whole country, and its utility to all the civililized na
j lions ol the earth, depend.
It is unnecessary for me lo recapitulate the events of the
I struggle in Nicaragua lor the last year. You, as well as
j others, are familiar with the dangers through which the
I Americans naturalized in Nicaragua have pas-ed. You
I nyw whether *>r not they have sustained the ancient lame
of their race f>r valor and good faith. You know how
thev haw met the open foe and the lurking pe.-t.lence
w ith nothing but a seue ot duty and justice to sustain them
n> ti e hour of trial. Alone in the world, unrecognized by
tlie government to which they naturally looked f >r>ynpa
'•hy and countenance, they have stilt shown that they knew
i.ow to die in defense of rights justly acquired at.d attempt
ed to be wrested from them by violence and fraud. Ir
merely behooves rue now to state how the evacuation oi
Rivas was effected, and how the Americans in Nicaragua
became exiles from the land of their adopt 011.
Unl the 2:£d of March la?t the allied forces of Costa Ri
ca, Guatemala, San Salvador and Honduras opened a can
nonade o n the town of Rivas where the main body of the
army of Njc.iragua were situated,a.id on the morning of
the 23J t hey made a general ass.iult. which was repulsed
with great loss on the part of th<- enemy. Afterwards they
attempted to invest the town, hut never fully succeeded, on
account of the vast force requited for such an undertaking.
On Die 11th of April they again assaulted Rivas, but were
driven bat k with even more loss than on the 23d of March
In order to show how the enemy were reduced alter the
ll’.h ot April, I need only state that on the evening of that
day, a single officer, accompanied sty a native servant pass
ed out of Rivas and went down to i?au Juan del Sur. H*-
tliere received the letters seut to me from New Yoik by
the steamer of the 2Jth of March, and brought them to
Rivas on the morning of the 13. hof April. Ihe fact, lei
me say, was known to commander Davis.
„ frrom the 23d of March to the23d of April, I knew that
Com Davis us in correspondence with the allies concern
ing the state of the force in Rivas. 1 knew that he was
receiving information from them calculated to mislead
him in.relation to my position and prospr-cts. But Com
D vVis, in the meanwhile, making such professions of friend
ship lor his countrymen m Nicaragua, that I was dis
posed to attribute his conduct to an over anxiety for the
garrison of Rivas. Oil the 23J of April, however, cir
cumstances occurred which led me to doubt Die sincerity
of his protestations *
On ifiat da> the second lieutenant of the Sc. Mary’s, Lt.
Houston, accompanied by a non-comnii-sioned officer of
the marines, cine into Rivas lor the pmpose of conducting
the women—both American and native —!r<mi that place
San Juan DeJ Sur. U bile in the town, Hou.-loti
expressed his groat surprise at the good condition of the
gamsou, uud ai the spirit of cheerful confidence which
pervaded Lie officers and men But, during his presence,
be and the soldier of marines with him give information to
the garrison calculated to diminish the courage o! thexotn
mand r l he.-e acts,derogating from their neutrality, were
done in violation of an order by me that the soldier of ma
rines was not to repeat in Rivas any of the r**p rts circula
ted by the enemy in San Juan del Sur The efi’ et of Lt
Houston’s vicit was apparent from the desertions which
immediately followed it.
Another circumstance occurred during L'eut. Houston’s
stay 111 Rivas, to which I afterwards learned to attach im
portance. The officer informed me he was ordered by
Commander Davis to tell me that any communication i
ue.-ired lo make to Mr. O. J. McDonald, agent ot Messrs.
Garrison, Morgan &, Sons, might he made under enclo
sure to Capt. Davis himself. Although 1 felt Mich an of-
Lrwdsa departure from duty 011 the part of a United
States officer, 1 did not take advantage of the ofler. 1
informed Lieut. Houston that 1 d;U not desire to write to
Mr. Macdonald; but that he might bay to Commander Da
vis from me—and wfth the undestanding that it was to be
communicated to Mr. Macdonald that 1 considered my
position at Rivas impregnable to the force at the disposal
of the c lemy as Jong as my provisions lasted; that if Col.
Lockridge did not join me in R v.ts by ti e time my com
mia-ury stores were exhausted, I would abandon tin* place
and join the force on the Ban Juki River; ami that I con
sidered myaelt entirelv able and competent to carry out
suuli a movement. When 1 learned afterwards that this
message was m ver delivered to Mr Macdonald, I was for
ced to consider Commander Davis’ offer an effort lo draw
from me a declaration which he might atterwards turn to
my disadvantage.
After ihe vi.-stof Lieut. Houston, I heard no more from
Commander Davis until the 30th of April, when two aids*
de-camp from the enemy came under a (lag of truce with a
letter from that officer to myself. The letter proposed
that I sliou'd abanc# 1 Rivas, and go aboard tlie St. Ma
ry’s to Panama, Commander Davis undertaking to guar
antee my personal safety. Although tins proposition was
extremely oflenrive—insinuating, as it did, that my person
al safety, instead of the honor and dignity of the govern
ment of which 1 was the execurive, might prove a deter
mining circumstance in a military convention—l replied
that the proposition was vague, and suggested his coming
into Rivas, and a personal conference between us. I only
submitted to the mortification of answering such a letter
on the supposition that Commander Davis might have in
formation 1 did not pc see 88, and which ( might justify ihe
substance, though not tho manner, of his offer. He an
swered by saying that he was sorry I found his proposition
vague; that he proposed ‘1 should abandon the enterprise
and leave the country;” that I might rely on the fact of
Col. Lockridge having left the San Juan River; and, final
ly* that he had maturely considered the invitation to enter
Rivas, and had decided, unreservedly, nott take such a
*•&
Vis. had suuiiuuxjy ‘ack~nowled<ed “ irn Q&nsivg
sident’ but a tew weeKs addressing i ne >iß *. )re
aunt As, however, the letter stated ftlffTyaiUHMuin
San Juan river—the first news I had of this)event —I stoop
ed lo answer the offensive note by proposing to send two
officers—General Henning>en and Col Waters—to meet
Commander Davis, provided they had safe conduct from
the allied General. An answer soon came, inclosing the
required sale conduct, and the answer was in effect that
(Jen. Henningsen and Col. Waters should proceed at once
to the headquarters of the allies, as Commander Davis’ in
struetions required his speedy return to San Juan del Sur
1 was Furprised to recognize tho body of thcTuote as lie
handwriting of General Zavala—one of the generals ot the
allied forces who spoke and wrote English—and to find
that such a note was signed by a professed neutral.
For what pissed between Gen. llenniogsen and Col.
Writers and Commander Davis, I refer you tothe report
ot he former officer, herewith enclosed, and to the terms
of the convention o* Rivas Allow me to suggest that
the Convention itself is he best evidence theuirny in
Rivas was not on the eve of destruc ion or dissolution.
|i tlie peril to my command was as great as has been
publicly represented, the allies would never have permit
ted us to evacuate the place, not only in safety, but with
honor.
In his interview wi h Gen. //* nningtu n. Commander
Davis had expressed h;s “unalterable determination” to
se-Zu* the schooner Granada ; an 1 this had been a deter
mining circumstance with me m sign ng the Convention.
1 was, therefore, surprised on the morning afur 1 went
on board ihe St. Mary's to hear Commander Davis pro
pose that I should deliver the vessel lo him without the
necessity lor the use of loree. This I rejected. lie
then proposed I should deliver the Vessel on condition he
gave me the arms aud ammunition on b ard of her. 1
replied, not a rag or a splinter iffiould be givtn up except
to an overwhelming force ; for the h n>r ol the lit lie
Vessel was in her hull and rigging, ani io the fl ig .■•he
b >re, and, in comparison with tins, the value >! the prop
erty on her was mere dross. Need I exprt e-* surprise that
a United States nval officer should make so dishonora
ble a proposition ?
Finding that Commodore Davis appeared to hesitate in
the execution ol what he had declared his ‘‘unalterable
determination,” 1 endeavored to convince him of the gross
wrong and injury he would commit by the seizure of the
Granada. I endeavored to satisfy him he had no right
to question the Hag oi the schooner while she lay in the
port of San Juan ; that while there she was io the terri
tory of Nicaragua,and subject only to the sovereignty of
that Republic ; that it was unworthy ol the United States
thus to trample on the most sacred rights of a sister
Slate; and that I could not, and would not be lie ve his
government would sanction such a violation of inlt-rnu
tionai law. He replied he would weigh what Ih. and said,
and see me again on the robject ; but without any fur
ther conversalion he gave wntUn ordeis to his first liru
t. mint to seize the Granada by force. The order was ex
t euled. The first lieutenant boarded the Granada with
a Mil II force. Capt. Favesoux, ot the Granada, beat to
quarters
Lieut. Maury endeavored to persuade Captaiu Fayssoux
to give up his vessel, alleging, in accordance with ins in
structions, it wou.d be in accordance with the lvivas Con
vention. Capt. Fayssoux 6aid his orders ere nut to de
liver the schooner unless to an overwhelming force.—
Leut. Maury returned to the St. Mary’s and informed
ine that he intended to ts.ke the Granada; and if I de
sired to save the effusion of blood, 1 should give an order
io deliver her to him. fT then brought his broadside of
eleven gt ns to hear on the schooner, manned his small
boats with 100 men, and came to me fi r the order, which
was, ot course, given. JSoou after, 1 had the moriticH*
tion of seeing the Nicaraguan il ig hauled down and the
American flag homed. Indignation as an officer ol Nic
aragua at the lowering of the flag, was stifled by shame
as a native of ti e United Stans, at seeing i.s glorious en
sign disgraced by covering an act of perfidy and wrong.
1 a-k leave to beg your special consideration of the fact
that Lieut. Maury applied to tne lor an order to Captain
Fayssoux. This was acknowledgment that Capt. Fays
soux was still au offictr ol the Government of which 1
vvls the executive.
But the dignity and honor of Nicaragua had cot been
sufficiently degraded by haviug her own flag lowered iu
her own port. It was reserved for Commander Davis
to complete a series of insults, by delivering the Granada,
with her armament and stores, up to ihe enemy, in the
port of San Juan del Sur.
Ou the arrival of the St. Mary’s at Panama, Commo
dore Metvioe kept me and the 16 officers with me, pris
oners on the sloop. lie would not permit us to laud or
hold communication with the .“bore. Even my letters
from the United States were sent back to the shore ; and
whin I requested to send aboard the California steamer, in
order to enquire for letters I expected,he Commodore re
plied that he would send one ol his own officers to en
quire lor my letters. I protest* and that I had goue aboard
the St. Mary’s as an officer— with my swurd on—and not
a* a prisoner; but the Commodore replied that the New
Grenada Government published a decree forbiddiog any
i[TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE.

REFORMER.
LETTER FROM KANSAS.
T he Eulauia Sjjirit of the South, ot the 23J, contains a
letter Irom its correspondent “D” who writes fromJjhn
son Cos. Kansas, under date of June 6, from which we
make the following extracts:
“Alter ariiving at Kansas City, our company took up
the line of inarch and camped within halt mile of the
Kansas line, where we remained two weeks, looking tor
claims, washing our oilier shirt, and fixing up generally
ttaa.jucigh
inn and county; Hawkins, DeVVitt, Rhe-*
Raiiord, temporarily in MLfoiITM l'x. •
poranly in VVestpoit; and Cox, who was quite sick, gone
home. All the tamilies have something to go on, aud
hav.ng something to go on are bound to do well.
The emigration to Kansas is immense, in the proportion
of about three tree State men (alias abolitioni-is) to one
white man (or pro-Havery man.) but then about Jour Yan
kees leave to one Southerner, ho the parties are pretty
equally balanced. 1 believe firmly myself that the pro
slavery party have a majority in the Territory,and the best
r-vidence i have of it, ib the tact that the Yankees still re
fuse to vote. A constitution tor a >tate Government will
be formed reoognizing slave*y t Croakers jo the contrary
not withstand i< g. but whether Kansas remains a slave
Mate or no, depends,in m> judgment, entirely upon the
emigration next fali and spring it the South does her
duty all will be well; if not, why, universal Yankeedom
will take possession of the soil. Allow me 10 say again,
what 1 have often said, that riiere is no country I have ev
er seen, where slave labor can be made as profitable as it
can m Kansas. If old Jon was now on the stage ol ac
tion, and hi and seen the soft ol Kansas, he woulu’nt exactly
curse, but he would get awtul crusty, at the idea ol .* onth
ernera, resigning such a country to the “Black carpet sack
Yankees.” I havetn-d to do my duty in tlie snuggle, and
am still willing to continue in the good work. 1 snail vis
it Barbour in Novemoer, and return herein January If
money can be raised, i will bung out 50 or luO Emilies
aud locam them without charging anything for my services.
1 can always get the men, it the money to pav their expen
ses is Jurnishcd Barbour county has done more in men
and money tor Kansas than any county in the South, and
I am sanguine in the hope that she will make om more
etFort. Do speak to your people about it, let us make one
more effort, and the day is our own it we do so and save
Kansas, we may all re-4 assured that in the great day we
shall all hear the welcome sounds of “Well done, good
and laithtul servants, enter into the joysol your Loid.”
Kansas News.
St Lmjis, June 19—ihe correspondent of The
Democrat , writing from Qaindaro on the Ifi’.h ii at,,
sajs that the Legislature adjourned on the ]3ih. Acts
providing for taking the census ; appointing an election
on the first Monday iu August for Slate officers and
Representatives to Congress, and locating the seat of
government at Topeka, were passed, as also a joint
rt solution under the Topeka Constitution, providing for
the appoint went of five mat shale whose deputies shall
lake a census immediately, and make an apportionment
of the Sute which shall give a Senate ot not more than
twenty members and a House of sixty.
Some of the Territorial County Judges have pro*
bounced parts-of the Census law inoperative.
I; is reported that Governor Walker has been in
formed that the Constitution will uot be submitted to
the people.
The Kansas Contention. —Ii the Constitutional Con**
vt-niion ol Kansas about to assemble choose to adopt &
Conatit'iliou, without subsequently submitting it to the
people of th.it Territory for ratification, we see no rea
suu why it ought not to be satisfactory to the people.—
All who had a right to vote for delegates t~> that conven
tion have been It ft at perfect liberty to vote as they pler.se,
and if they have voluntarily declined voting at all they
have no reason to complain that they were ut represent
ed.
If, however, the convention should be so diffidtntof
the result of ilieir lab. rs as to desire the people’s tx
pressed approbation of the Conantuti *n formed, before
sending il to Congress we cannot imagine why objtdious
should be r osed io that c urse, except perhaps on je~
count of the necessary delay that it would cause, bLd of
he difficulty of determining with accuracy and justice
those who would have a light to vote upou it. A large
portion of the residents in Kansas have refused to u-cog
uize the validity of the Territ rial laws and have neg
lected to qualify themselves to vote for and legates to the
Constitutional Convention. By that refusal or neghet
they have precluded themselves from any right to com
plain of the action of that body. Being in a state of real
if not ofeii rebellion against the legally constituted au
thorites of Kansas there is nothing to be pleaded in their
behalf on the score of liberality. Their persistent and
contumelious opposition to every tfl *rt to sett e the un
fortunate difficulties which have arisen there deserve *
nothing belter than that they should be left to abide by
the choice they have made. Should ill - convention de
cide to submit the newly formed constitution to tlmt*-,
and those only, who recognized their authority, the mal
contents will, no doubt, complain bitterly, but L ey will
have no just cause.— Louisiana Courier,
