that, if’ proportion.to its insignificance, let the decision be
whatii may,no far as it may affect ihe lew thousand in
habitants of Kansas, who have from the beginning resisted
the <'onsiuution and the laws, lor this very reason the re
jection of the Constitution will be so much the more keen
ly Jelt by the people oi iourteen oi the States ot this Union,
where slavery is recognised under ihe Constitution of the
United States. , ~ , „ .
Again: The speeay admission ol Kansas into the Union
would restore peace and quiet to the whole country. Al
ready the affairs of this Territory have engrossed an undue
proportion of public attention. They have si-dly affected
the friendly relations ot the people ot the States with each
other, and alaimed the tears ol patriots for the satety olthe
Union. Kansas once admitted imo the Union, the exciie
nieot becomes localized, and will soon die away for want
of outside aliment. Then every difficulty will be settled at
the ballot-bo;:
Besides—and this is no trifling consideration—l shall
then be enabled to withdraw the troops of the United States
from Kansas, and employ them on branches ot service
where they are much needed. They have been kept there,
on the earnest importunity of Gov. Walker, to maintain
the existence of the territorial government and secure the
execution ot the laws. He considered that at least 2,000
regular troops, under ihe command ot Gen. Harney,-were
necessary for this purpose. Acting upon hts reliable intor
inattou, I have been obliged, in some d-gree, to interlere
with the expedition to Utah, in order to keep down rebel
lion in Kansas. This has involved a very heavy expense
to the goverumei t. Kansas once admitted, it is believed
there will no longer be any occasion there lor troops of the
United States.
I have thus performed my duty on this important ques
tion, under a deep sense ot responsibility to God, and my
country. My public lile will terminate within a brief peri
od , and 1 have no other object of earthly ambition than to
leave my country in a peaceful and prosperous condition,
and to live in the affections and respect of my countrymen.
The dark and .-ruinous clouds which now appear to be im
pending over the Union, 1 conscientiously believe may be
dissipated with honor to every portiou oiit, by the.admis
sion of Kansas during the present ses-ion ol Congress;
whereas, if she should be rejected,! greatly fear these
clouds will become darker and more ominous than any
which have ever yet threatened the Constitution and the
Union.

Washington, February 2, jBSB.
A Stormy Night in Congress.
Washington, Peb. 6.— 'l'he House ot Representatives
adjourned this morning at six o’clock, aiier an excited and
stormy session all night. The contest was on |the adop
tion of the resolution offered by Mr. Harris, of Illinois, the
purport of which is, that the message of the President and
the Lecompton constitution be referred to a Select Com
mittee of thirteen, to be appointed by the Speaker, to in
quire into all facts, connected with said constitution, and
the laws il any, under which the convention was held, and
whether the provisions of the taw were complied with.—
Also, whether said Constitution provides for a republican
form of government, and whether the population be suffi
cient for a representative iu Congress under the present ra
tio ; and whether the constitution is satisfactory to the
majority of the legal voters in Kansas. Also, to .ascer
tain the number of voles cast for the constitution; the pla
ces where cast in each county; the census or registration
under which the election of delegates was held, and whe
ther the same was just and tair; and in compliance with
law, with all other matter hearing on the subject.
The friends of the Lecompton constitution endeavored
to take a vote in favor of the admission of Kansas,before
the adjournment of the House, while those in favor of the
passage of Mr. Harris, resolution, endeavored to adjourn.
About half past two o’clock last night a fight took
place between Honorables L. M- Kitt, of South Carolina,
and Galusha A- Grow of Pennsylvania. Several blows
passed, the crowd of members rushed to the scene, and
there appeared for some time that there were indicationsof
“free fight.”
Mr. Speaker Orr succeeded in a few moments iu restor
ing order.
Thv House finally agreed to adjourn by the passage of
a unanimously adopted resolution, that the matter in dis-r
pute should be the special order of the day lor Monday—
to which day the'House has adjourned.
Ueeting of Stockholders Mobile and Girard Rail Road.
A meeting of the Stockholders of the Mobile and
Girard Rail Road, was held in Girard on Monday,
which, after appointing a Committee to determine
who should be allowed to vote in the meeting of
Stockholders, adjourned to yesterday morning, 9
o’clock.
At the appointed hour the meeting assembled,
Col. R. H. Rowell in the Chair, W. H. Mitchell,
Esq., acting ?s Secretary. The proceedings of the
day before were read and approved.
The Committee, appointed the day previous, to
report who should be entitled to vote in the meet
ing, reported, through their Chairman, Dr. J. F.
Bozeman, a preamble setting forth that only those
who were actual and bona fide Stockholders should
be allowed to vote, and that only those embraced
in the following are bona fide Stockholders :
Resolved , That only those persons who have
received ‘ certificates of stock, or have done,
or are doing work under contract with said
Road, or have, given their promissory notes to said
Road Tor stock, are entitled to vote as Stockhol
ders.
l)r. Foster, from Ihe same Committee, made a
minority report, to the effect that all those present,
whoclaiin to be Stockholders, and have subscribed
for stock in said Road, whether they have ever
paid anything on it or not, shall be considered as
Inina fide Stockholders, and allowed to vote.
Dr. N. B. Powell moved a suspension of the
consideration of these reports until he could offer a
couple of resolutions to the effect that discussion
be confined to the. subject under consideration, and
that no one should be allowed to speak more than
twice on the same subject, nor more than thirty
tn’iiutes at each time. He followed the reading of
these resolutions with a few pertinent remarks, rel
ative to difficulties which now environ the man
agement and work of the Road, and hoped that all i
minor difficulties would for the time be ignored, and
that all would pull together for the benefit of the
Road. He regarded even its completion to Union
Springs as exceedingly problematic, for some time
to come, and thought it should first be compleled to
that point before there was any quarreling as to
the direction the Road should take from there.
Dr. Foster explained his reasons for dissenting
from the majority report. Maj. Hardaway also ex
plained his reasons tor the same course.
Mayor Wilkins, of our city, made some remarks,
touching the position occupied by the City of Co
lumbus, as a Stockholder in the Road, and thought
that only those who were boua fide Stockholders
should be allowed to vote in the meeting.
Dr. Bozeman made a few remarks sustaining the
majority report, as the only just and equitable mode
bv which tiie fact es to who were bona fide Stock
holders could be arrived at.
Dr. Foster made a few remarks touching the
rights of persons to vote as Stockholders—thought
all claiming lo be Stockholders should be allowed
to vote.
Col. Long thought no person had a right to vote
unless they had either paid in a portion of their
stock in money or work, or had given their promis
sory notes therefor.
Dir. Boswell took pretty much the same view.
Capt. Seals thought that only those who had
repudiated their stock should be prohibited from
voting—those who had not repudiated should he
allowed to vote even if they had not paid any por
tion ot their stock.
Mr. Threewitts here thought the discussion was
taking too wide a range, and moved the previous
question, to cut off debate.
Mayor Wilkins rose for information as to who
should be entitled to vote upon this preliminary
Question. This was a stumper, and gave rise to
considerable desultory discussion. The chair be
ing called upon to decide the question, gave it as
his decision that ail those claiming that they were
stockholders should be allowed to vote until the
matter should be determined by the meeting.
An appeal was taken from this decision and
again the question came up for his discussion as to
who was entitled to vote on this question. Anoth
er desultory discussion arose, and after some ex
planations on either side the vote was finally taken
upon the call tor the previous question, but under
which rule we could not exactly ascertain, which
was adopted nem con.
This brought up the minority report for the ac
tion of the meeting.
Major Howard moved that both the minority and
majority reports should be read before being acted
on. Adopted.
Minority report read and rejected.
Majority report read and adopted.
On motion of Mr. W. C. Gray, a list of the stock
holders was called. After the calling ol which
those whose names did not appear were requested
to enrol them, together with the amount of their
stock. This.required considerable time.
On motion of Maj. Howard the call for the meet
ing as published was read.
Maj Howard then arose and said as he had been
arraigned as a criminal, he claimed the privilege
of detending himself against the charges alleged
against him. He yielded the floor, however, to Mr.
W. C. Gray, to introduce a resolution to the effect
that any charges against the President of the Road
he reduced to writing, and that all the speaking be
confined to the subject under debate.’ The resolu
tion was withdrawn.
Dr. Dawson thought this was not the proper way
to bring the matter before the meeting. After
some desultory discussion by Messrs. Howard,
Seals and others, Mr. Threewittsintroduced a reso
lution defining it the duty of the President to con
sult with the Board of Directors, and abide by their
decision in all matters touching the interest of the
Road.
Dr. Foster introduced a substitute for Mr, Three
wits’ resolution, which being accepted by Mr.
Threewits,become the original resolution, to the
effect that thd Board of Directors have the right
to instruct the President as to the location and re
moval of depots, ts-c., and that he is bound by those
instructions.
Mayor Wilkins then introduced the following res
olutions as a substitute for Dr. Foster’s:
Resolved, That the stockholders of the Mobile
and Girard Rail Road Company do approve the
action of the President of the said Rail Road Com
pany in removing the depot from Colbert.
Resolved, That the stockholders of said Compa
ny do approve the change of the route of said
Road from that known as the Greenville to that
known as the Conecuh Valley route, and they here
by ratify the action of the President of said Road
in surveying said Conecuh Valley route.
Resolved, That the Boa-d of Directors of said
Rail Rciu Company are hereby instructed to adopt
the most prompt measures to comply with the act
of Congress granting lands to the Rail Road Com
pany in order that the lands on the Conecuh Val
ley route be secured to the Company,
Resolved, That no subscriptions to, or earnings
of, th - Mobile and Girard Rail Road Company,
from this point to Union Springs, shall be expen
ded by the Board of Directors, or their agents, on
any part of said Road beyond Union Springs, ex
cept such a sum as may be necessary and proper
to pay for the location of said Road down the Con
ecuh Valley.
The matter being thus prnperly brought before
the meeting, Major Howard came forward, and in
a clear, forcible and able manner, vindicated his
course not only in removing the depot from Colbert,
but also in authoiizing the survey of the lower
route. Our limited time and space prevent our
giving a report of his speech.
Dr. Dawson replied to Major Howard, defend
ing his own position in relation to his opposition
to the course of the President in removing the Col
bert depot, and denying the right of the President
to remove or establish a depot without the con
current action of the Board of Directors.
Major Howard replied briefly to Dr. Dawson,
mostly in defence of his removal of the depot.
Capt. Seals replied to Majo’ Howard, but we
could not get the hang of his speech, further than
that he was opposed to the removal of the depot,
and that he was a strict constructionist of the pow
ers granted by their charter.
Mr. Threewitts made some remarks, asking in
formation as to the relative powers of the President
and Directors, and asked the meeting to define the
duties of each.
Further discussion was cut short by the calling’
for the previous question by Gen. Simmies, which
being sustained, the vote was taken upon Mayor
Wilkins’ resolutions as a whole, which were adop
ted by a vote of about four to one.
Dr. Dawson offered a resolution to the following
effect: That the President shall have power over
all the depots on ‘he Road; pending a few desul
tory remarks upon which the meeting adjourned
sine die.
So Major Howard was sustained in his action by
a majority of the stockholders, and we think very
justly, too, as the success of his administration of
the affairs of the Road, depends in a great measure
on his having large discretionary powers in many
matters. It appears the Road is now embarrassed
to an extent that it will require great financiering
to bring it out of its difficulties, and if Major Howard
cannot do it, we know no other man who can.
Colonel Cook’s March to Join the Utah Army—Terri
ble .Sufferings.
Col. Cook’s report to the adjutant general of the
Utah army, of his march from the Missouri to the
vaftey of the Salt Lake, is full of matter of curious
interest. He s arted in command of six compa
nies second dragoons, from Fort Leavenworth, on
the 17th September, and his journal ends with h'S
his arrival at Fort Bridger on the 19th of Novem
her. He says : ‘
The regiment had been hastily recalled from
service in the field, and allowed three or tour
days only by my then commanding officer to pre
pare for a march of eleven hundred miles, over an
uninhabited and mountain wilderness. In that time
the six companies of the regiment who were to
compose the expedition were re-organised ; one
hundred and ten transfers necessarily made from
and many to other companies : horses to be con
demned and many to be obtained ; the companies
paid, and about fifty desertions occurred ; the com
manders of four of them changed.
I marched them on the 17th. Then it was to be
proved that three or four more days were to be lost
in waiting for the quartermaster’s department to
supply the absolutely necessary transportation.—
On the 18th, one hundred and seven mules were
furnished, whicli the Same day had arrived from a
march of, pel haps two thousand miles to and
from Bridger’s Pass; above one hundred of the
others were rjearly worthless from want and age,
and requiring several hours to harness a team. —
On the morning of the 19th twenty seven team
sters were wanting, and men were furnished ut
terly ignorant of the business and without outfits.
Half allowance, or six pounds a day of corn for hor
ses and mules, was the largest item of transporta
tion ; three or four laundresses, with their children,
were with each company.
The regular journal of each day’s march given,
how it rained, and how the mules died, and the
men complained. On October the sth lie arrived
at Fort Kearney ; on the 15th crossed the South
Platte—the thermometer was at thirteen, and the
river full of ice.
It was discretionary with Col. Cook to winter
at Fort Laramie or to post on to Salt Lake. He
preferred the latter course. On November the 4th
his command was at Sweet Water Pass, in the
Rocky Mountains; next day they gained Devil’s
Gate.
On the 6th we found the ground once m J
white, and the snow falling, but then v ry moder
ately. I inarched as usual. On a four mile hill
the North wind and drifting snow became severe ;
the air seemed turned to frozen fog ; nothing could
be seen ; we were struggling in a freezing cloud.
The lofty wall at “Three Crossings” was a happy
relief, but the guide, who had lately passed there,
was relentless in pronouncing that there was no
grass; the idea of finding and feeding upon grass
in that wintry storm, under the deep snow, was
hard to entertain, but as he promised grass and
other shelter two miles further, we marched on,
crossing twice more the rocky strea N m, half choked
with snow and ice ; finally he. led us behind a great
granite rock, but all two small for the promised
shelter, only a part of the regiment could huddle
there, in the deep snow ; while, the long night
through, the storm continued, and in fearful eddies
from above, before, behind, drove the falling and
drifting sno.v. Thus exposed, for ihe hope ot
grass, the poor animals were driven with great de
votion by the men once more across the stream,
and three-quarters of a mile beyond to the base of
a granite ridge, but which almost faced the storm ;
there the famished mules, crying piteously, did not
seek to eat, but desperately gathered in a mass,
and some horses, escaping the guard, went back to
the ford, where the lofty precipice first gave us so
pleasant relief and shelter.
Thus morning light had nothing cheering to re
veal, the air still filled with driven snow—the ani
mals soon came dirven in and mingled in confu
sion with men, went crouching the snow in the
confined and wretched camp, trampling all things
in their way. It was not a time to dwell on the
fact that from that mountain desert there was no
retreat nor any shelter near, but a time for action.
But for six hours the frost or frozen fog fell thick
ly, like snow, and again we marched on as in a
cloud. The deep snow drifts impeded us much,
and in crossing Sweet Water the ice broak in the
middle. Marching ten miles only, 1 got a better
camp,and hearded the horses on the hills; it was
a different road, where a few days before the bodies
of three frozen men were found.
On the Bth the thermometer stood at 44 deg.
below the freezing point. The snow was deep;
twenty-three mules gave out,and five wagons were
abandoned.
Nine trooper horses were left freezing and dying
on the road, and a number of soldiers and team
sters had been frostbitten. It was a desperately
cold night ; the thermometer were broken, but by
comparison must have marked 25 degrees below
zero. A bottle of sherry wine froze in a trunk
Having lost about fifty mules iu thirty hours, the
morning of the 11th, on the report of the quarter
master, I felt bound to leave a wagon in ‘ the bush
es, fiilled with seventy-four extra saddles and bri
dles and some sabres.
Next day the corn gave out; the mules were
dying of hunger.
They gnawed and destroyed four wagon tonges
a numter of wagon covers, ate their ropes, and
getting lose ate the sage fuel collected at the tents.
Some of these they also attacked. Nine died.—
The fast growing company of dismounted men
were marched together as a separate command
by day ; the morning of the 11th a number of them
were frost-biUen from not being in motion, although
standing by fires. That day eighteen miles were
marched to Big Sandy, where thejguide found grass
and fuel with it; so good that the 13th was made
a day of rest; the animals werfe all herded at the
grass. Fifty horses had been lost since leaving
Laramie
He closes the report of his march with the fol
lowing.
I have one hundred and forty-four horses, and
have lost one hundred and thirty-four. Most of
the loss occured much this side of South Pa ts, in
comparatively moderate weather. It has been of
starvation. The earth is a mere lifeless, treeless,
grassless desert; it contains scarcely a wolf to glut
itself on the hundreds of dead and frozen animals
which, for thirty miles, neatly block the road with
abandoned and scattered property. They mark
perhaps, beyond example in history, the steps of
an advancing army with the horrors of a disastrous
retreat.
Col A. K. McClung —His Suicide.
There is not, we presume, a single man in the
South who has not heard of Col. McClung. We
picked up an exchange this morning and found the
tollowingOde to Death by this great man, which
is certainly the noble chaunt ol a manly sorrow.—
Col. McClung was known as a duelist, having kill
ed as many as four men, we believe, in duels. Not
withstanding Ins chivalry and intrepidity he was
gentle as a child. Witli the ferocity of a tiger, he
combined the generosity of the lion, and the dar
ing of an eagle, he united all that is great in man.
He walked the earth like a Titan, but left behind
him many amiable He wore a
noble heart full oi tender generosity. His whole
life illustrated that—
“ The brave are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring.”
McClung had genius of the first order—was ho
nored, loved and almost worshipped by a host of
friends. Wearied of life, disappointed and satiated
he woed the embraces of death, and,with the hope
ofbeing slain, he enlisted in the Mexican war.—
His gallantry on the battle-field at Monterey is
known to all. He was seriously wounded, but
death came not to his relief. At Buena Vista, he
was carried on a litter to the battle field and expos
ed his life again; but death still eluded him and
refu-ed to recognize his earnest votary. Despairing
of finding death ott the battle field he returned to
Mississippi and lived until life became a burden to
him, and then i-ommitted suicide by blowing out
his own brains. He deliberately drank the fatal
draught. It is easy to die irt battle, when the spirit
is stirred to a courageous madness, by the rushing
squadron, the roar of the cannon and the clashing
steel. Then all the fierce instincts are aroused,and
the soldier seeks for death as the bridegroom seeks
lot his bride—while
“Fame is there to tell who bleeds,
And honor’s eye on daring deeds”—
we sty it is not hard on such occasions to drink
front the chalice of death, but how a man like Col
McClung, full ot genius, loved and caressed, can
deliberately commit suicide is a mystery which
can never be revealed But we are keeping the
reader from Colonel McClung’s death song. He
woes the embrace of death in soft, bes eching
melody. A lew months before his death lie wrote
the following lines, overflowing with vocal and
rythmical liquidity. It is the melody of despair—
the la-t lay of the minstrel. As has already been
remarked by our friend Posey, the swan tinder
the instinctive presentiment of death, sings it own
dirge, and the vigor of death lends inspiration arad
sweetness to its song. Like the dying swan, poor
dying McClung sung his own sweet and beautiful
invocation:
Swiftly speed o’er the waves of time,
Spirit ol Death!
In manhood’s morn, in youthful prime,
1 woo thy breath!
For the fading hues ot hope have fled
Like the dolphin's light,
And dark are the clouds above my head
As the starless night!
Oh! vainly the voyager sighs for the rest
Os the peaceful haven—
The pilgrim saint for the homes of the blest
And the calm of Heaven!
The galley slave for the night wind’s breath,
At the burning noon!
But more gladly I’d epringto thy cold arms,
Death come soon!

Liberty of the People
It is evident that, if we go on a few years more
as we have progressed within the last quarter of a
century, we shall have lo call a national conven
tion to pass resolutions condemning our revolu
tionary fathers as no better than hypocrites and ty
rants. It is true, they made some trifling sacri
fices to get out of the hands of Great Britain;
they even spilled a little blood here and there,
“just to gratify their pride ;” but, if we judge them
by the flood of light by which our republican
friends are illuminated in these times, their hide
ousness is all exposed, and they stand before us
the authors of a system of government in which
liberty is veiled, and tyranny and oppression ex
ercise an unrestricted sway. One of two things is
certainly true: either that our modern political
philosophers have confounded liberty with licen
tiousness, freedom with tolly and madness, or, on
the other hand, our patriot fathers were not quite
what they ought to have been. Their Declaration
of Independence was a capital assignment of er
rors, and an eloquent appeal to the people of the
States and the world iu behalf of the new confed
eration ; but, illuminated as we are in this favored
age, as a pronunciamiento in favor of freedom it
sinks into mere vapor compared with what is ut
tered every day by such immaculate puritans as
our friends Greeley, Gen. Webb, and Wm. L oyd
Garrison. These gentlemen understand liberty to
mean thafevery man shall do precisely as he pleas
es. Government, w ith them, is a kind of stock
company, in which all are directors, each one own
ing his interest quite independent of his associates.
Under this interpretation of our State and federal
systems tt is easy to see that a refusal to vote at
elections impairs no individual rights, and secures
no privileges to those who do vote. Should the
majority thus refuse, the conclusion is quite una
voidable that the election is void, because it is an
admitted law in American politics that the majority
must rule. It is true our co istitutions and laws
contemplate the recognition only of those who
vote; but then they were made before the New
Jerusaiem flooded us with its lights. Kansas is
the only community that has received the full bene
fits of this latter-day dispensation. There, neglect
of all political duties, protests against the exis
tence on any terms of the federal authorities, re
bellion and revolution, are the signs which mark its
advance and proclaim its fruits. It asks that Con
gress shall be subjugated ; that the people of the
Union shall surrender to its haughty demands;
that those who did their duty shall be ignored and
disgraced, and that those who refused to do their
duty shall be elevated over them to be their rulers.
We are the disciples of every vital, rational re
form. We believe ours is an age us irrepressible
progress—that every day gives up some new ele
ment which a wise people may devote to benefi
cial uses. But we adhere to die old maxim of
our polities—that those who would have a good
government must help make it. Political affaiis
w ith us are conducted upon the principle of com
pensations. Our opinions to be respected must be
expressed in public as in private affairs.

What Right Had He ?—We saw a man travel

to himself as if he was “tickled to death” with
some private and especial joy of his own ; he was
chuckling, grinning, and shaking as if there was a
perfect volcano of laugh bottled up irt him, which
was struggling to burst out in a pealing cacliina
tory eruption of glee. He met a misanthropic,
melanchofic, hypochondriacal looking individual
who seemed io think the other’s happiness obtru
sively and offensively directed at him, lip after he
passed, the lugubrious man turned aboutand looked
back after- the chuckler with a splenetic and jaun
diced expression which required no words to trans
late. It said, what right had that merry scoundrel
to thrust his happiness under the noses of those
whose will or fortune it is not to be happy; what right
has he to attack with hostile smiles the sight and
sensation of those who are rueful; what right has
he or any other man to go out in the public streets
and do things which are very disagreeable to- the
sight of others; what right has he to be so visibly
happy, and to exc'te my envy or my bile, when I
am not? A man has no more right to offend ano
ther through the perception of sight thah through
that of feeling—by thrusting an assailingsight into
his eyes than by thrusting his fist into his . ribs. —

BCERHAVE’S HOLLAND BITTERS.
Michael Kelley, No. 117 Seventh, near Grand Street,
Pittsburgh, says:
Last July, while running on the river, on a cotton boat
plying between Natchez and New Orleans, I was taken
with fever and ague. For eight long months I suffered
with this dreadful disease. The greater part of this time
1 was unable to work, and spent at least fifty dollars for
different medicines, but found no permanent ‘relief. Three
weeks ago, one of my friends insisted upon my trying
Boerhave’s Holland Bitters, saying that a cure was guar
anteed. After taking it sot one week, f must say I was a
sound mao. I have been at work now for two weeks,and
have had no return of the chills and fever whatever.
I certify that the above statement is true.

HOSTETTEIt’S HITTERS.
The surprising effects of Hostetter’s’Vegetable Stomach
Bitters in removing bile, forcing an appetite, imparting
health end tone to the sy tern, and dissipating dyspeptic
symptoms, it is truly wonderful. All nervous, debilitated
weak ar-d em. c'ated persons, male or female should try
it at once. One wine glassful taken three times each day
before meals, or if the patient should be a lady or child in a
debilitated condition, hall the quantity will do until suffi
cient strength is restored, which will be real ized in a very
short lime, and convince the patient of the truth of the
above named happy results which have gained for theße
Bitters such an enviable reputation everywhere.

NO FAMILY
Can afford to be without Mustang Liniment in their
house. The many accidents we are liable to, may render
it necessary any moment, and nothing is capable of per
forming such a certain cure. ( Extract ) “In lifting the
kettle from the fire it caught and scalded my hands and
person very severely—one hand almost to a crisp. The
torture was unbearable. It was an awful sight. * * *
The Mustang Liniment appeared to extract the pain
immediately. It healed rapidly and left no scar of ac
count. Charles Foster, 420 Broad Street, Philadelphia.”
It is truly a wonderful article. It will cure any case of
Swelling, Burns, Stiff Joints, Eruptions and Rheuma
tism. For horses, it should never be dispensed with. One
Dollar’s worth of Mustang has frequently saved a valua
ble horse. It cures Galds, Sprains, Ringbone, Spavin
and Founders. Beware of imitations. Sold in all parts
of the habitable Globe.

SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS,
A Medicinal Diet HDrink, ot eminently salutary qualities,
manufactured by himself exclusively, at his lactory at
Schiedam in Holland.
It is made *rom the best barley, that can deselected in Eu
rope, with the essence of an aromatic Italian berry of ac
knowledged and extraordinary medicira! .properties, it has
long since acquired a higher reputation,both in Europe and
America, than any o ther diuretic eve rage.
In f7ravel v Gout and Rheumatism, in obstructions of the
B ladder and Kidneys, and in Gen?ral Debility it** effects are
prompt, and invariably reliable. And Hi* notonlyareme
dyfort-hese maladies,but in all cases in which they are pro
duced by drinking bad water, winch is almost universally
the cause of them, it operates as a sure leventive.
The distressing effect upon the stomach, bowels and blad
der, of travelers, or new lesidents and all persons unaccus
tomed to them, produced by the waters of nearly all our great
inland rivers, like the Ohio, Mississippi, and Alabama, from
the large quantity of decayed vegetable matter contained in
them, in a state of solution, is wHI known, as also that of the
waters of limestone regions, in producing Gravel, Calculi, and
Stone in the bladder The Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps le
au of these injurious properties of bad
water, and consequently preventslho diseases which they oc
casion. It is also found to be a cure and preventive of Fe
ver and Ague, a.cotnplaint caused by the conjoint effect of
vegetable malaria in the atmosphere, and vegetable prutes
eDces n the waters of those districts in which it princi
pally prevails. The Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps is conse
quently in great demand'by persons traveling, or about to
settle in those parts ot the country, especially,as well asby
many ii every community where it has become known on
accountof its various >ther remedial properties.
In all cAses of Dropsical tendency, it is generally the only
remedy required, when adopted in the early stages of the
disease. In Dyspepsia maladies, when taken in proper quan
tities, as a diet drink, and especially at rtinne r;lt is found by
uniform experience, to bo eminen ly efficacious in the most
obstinate cases, when • von. the| best of|the usual remedies
have failed to afford more than temporary relief. In cases of
Flatulency, it is an immediate and invaluable specific; audit
may be administered in diluted and proportionate quantities
evento young infants, i a all those paroxysms of gripingpain
in the stomach an l bowels to which they are especially sub
ject, as well as in the colic of grown persons.
Its judicious adoption ir* connection with the principal
meals, or when a sens of exhaustion dictates its use, never
falls to elieve the deoiliiy attendant upon protracted chronic
maladie-s, ow temperament, and exhausted*vital energy, by
whatever cause induced. These a e tacts to which many of
the most eminent m; dical men both in Europe and the Uni
ted Btatos, have borne testimony, nod which are corroborated
by their highest written authorities.
Put up in pint aud quart bottles, in cases of one dozen each
with my name on the bottle,cork, and lac simile of my signa
ture on the label. For sale by all the respectable druggists

i&ud scattered here and there over the face of this m: y
country. Meeting with great success among them, I now o
fertile the American public, knowingthat its truly wonder
ful medicinal virtues must] be acknowledged.
It is particulariy recommenced to those persons whose
constitutions may have been impaired by thecontinuons use
ot ardent spirits, orother forms of dissipation. Generally in
stantaneousin effect, it finds its way directly to the seat of
life, thrilling and quickening every nerve, raising up the
drooping spirit.and, in fact, inlusing new health and vigor in
the system.
NOTICE. —Whoever expects to nntrtms a beverage will he
disappointed; but to the sick, weak and tow spirited. It will
prove a grateful aromatic cordial, possessed of singular rem

CAUTION!
The great popularity of this delightful aroma has induced
many imitations, which the public should guard against pur
chasing. Be not persuaded to buy anything else until you
have given Boerhave’s Holland Bitters a fair trial. One Bot
