IION. ROBERT TOOMBS’ LETTER.
Washinoton, d. c., April 13. 1818.
Dear Millers Mr. Clay’s address to the publio
wM published here this morning. It bus given
rrsl sml unconcealed pleasure to the friends of the
Administration. It coutaius some things that had
liotter not been written at all, nud tunny others
that ought uot to bave beeu written by Mr. Clay.
]t discloses bis strong desire for the nomination,
mJ furnishes a weak, inconclusive, and otherwise
objectionable argument in support of it. My con
viction is unshaken, that ins nomination would
produce tbo overthrow of tho Whig party, nud
Secure the continuance in power of tho weak,
profligate, and treacherous administration of Mr.
folk. My duty toroy couutry aud my principles
will therefore constrain me to oppose it. In 184-1
>Ir. Clsv had the united and enthusiastic support
of the Whig party uf tho' Cuiou; and his fucuds
were confident of sucoess, nud labored earnestly,
uitlilully, and vigorously toachievo it. Tho Deni
ocratio party was divided into fierce factious; its
Convention resulted in the overthrow of tho can
didate to the support of whom a majority of the
delegates were plcdgod by their coustitueuts, and
in the uominatiou of one of tiie least worthy men
of the party. Uia want of uiorit secies to have
been the chief element of success. Amid tho
strife of contending chiefs he received the nomina
tion of a party because he bad been too inconsid
erable a person to command the support of a fuc-
tiou. Yet tbnt election resulted in tho sigunl de
feat of Mr. Olay, and the total overthrow ol bis
friends. The Democratic party elected Mr. Polk
by a majority of sixty-fivo votes iu the electoral
colleges, aud carried two thirds of the House of
Representatives. Calm aud impartial men receiv
ed the result as the judgmeut of his countrymen
agaiust Mr. Clay’s preteusious to the Presidency.
Hostility to Mr. Clay was the cohesaivo power
which held together uis opponents; they had tbo
sagacity toporcsive that ho was -weaker than the
principles of his party, they profuted by tlrs
knowledge,every where by converting the contest
into a war on the mau. Tho unpopularity of Ihe
candidate was always in a greater or less degree,
attached to tho principles he maintains, and truth
is ulleu rendered powerless by the uupo;Hilarity
of its exponent. Mr. Clay’* argument in favor of
bis own avnilibility is couclosive as to his opinions
on tbit point. I have seou no evidence ul change
of public opinion favorable to Mr. Clay. His
friends are devoted aud euthu-iaslic; they were
cqoslly so in iu 1814; his cuamios are still unre
lenting aud remorseless. Hit opponents are
scarcely less desirous of his uominatiou thuu his
roast devoted friends; they want an euemy whose
strength they have measured. If Mr. Clay could
carry every vote he did in 1844. and the vote uf
\„.y Y’ork besides, on accouut of the a! mission of
now States into the Union, ho would still have less
tmu a majority of the whole number. It is the
roost idle of all dreams to suppose he can carry
Pennsylvania—iter last eiectiou showed a Demo
cratic majority of 13,000. His hopes of .N. York
IjuadeJ chiefly on the division of his enemies.
If nothing else cau neal those divisions his candi
dacy will do it. Teutieasoo voted for Mr, Clay in
1314 by a majority of something over otto hun
dred. It is th-J opinion of persous having the best
nuns of knowing popular sentiment in that State,
tint ha cannot now get her vote.
Tbeindications of popular sentiment are very
deciJedly iu favor of auolher. Ohio canuot be
reiied upou lor Mr, Clay. Two of her Whig rep
resentatives have declared upon the floor ol Con-
erc»t recently that tho Whig party of that Stale
will vote for uo candidate for the Presidency who
it ant a Wihnot Proviso man. Others of Iter dele-
rstiott are known to hold the same opinion, if
Mr. Clay should fiually conclude to submit to her
terms, all tho slave-holding States must necessarily
bj excluded from his calculation. With these
beta staring me iu the face, I cannot bring my
own miud to Ihe conclusion that Mr. Clay’s clue-
linn is a probable, if even a possible event. Such,
I know, from the best sources of iuformutinn.'it the
upiuiuu of a large majority of the Whig members
ui Congress.
There is another consideration of controling im
portance to those Whigs who really desire the
•access of Whig principles, ns well us the eiectiou
of* Whig President. Jf the tlireo great "Free
Stitcs" (as Mr. Clay terms them) sho tl.l cast their
tales for him aud elect him President, he would
Mcessarily have tho Senate, and most probably,
th." Hsus.-of Representatives against him during
to- n bale of It is administration. Neither he nor
ib friends claim any iitereasj of strength in there
i nil States where we must g lin support its order
II rht.igc tbo present large Democratic majority in
ti"Senile. His n imisatiou would ho a surrender
| of the Senate fir the uext four years. The pros-
ject of carrying the oilier House would he hut
tllo better. Those three large Stales luvo in tbs
present Cuugressa Whig representation far ex-
jcreding their popular strength at home. The
awt witguiue Whigs have no hopes of increasing
r, while prudent meu look to its diminution as a
tertiiin event. Then whore shall we look to aup-
j y this diticiency and give us such uu increase of
tubers as w.U secure a wot king majority in the
Hmcof Representatives.’ Uuless wo cau secure
tun somewhere, success iu the Presidential elec
ts] would auly give us place without power. The
t*J guverumjut of the country would full iuto the
lob ofuur opponents, and we should secure but
i-alerlse than tiie distribution of tho "Spoils;” the
astembarrassing and the leual desirable of all
results of victory. Those who expect to profit
them will perhaps enter with zcul into the
but the contest will present hut few at-

Imminence of the Revolution in Great Bri
tnin and Ireland.
Loxno.v, April I, 1848.
This great and astounding Revolution of the
nmeleeuth ceutury, which fell u|>ou Europe like a
flash of lightuing, progresses with such rapidity that
itisatill quite impossible to follow it. The miud
is pushed onward day after day, and duzxled by so
many new events that it cutiuot look back to ex
amine aud speculate upou the past. These events
arc now loo near to he fully comprehended or ap
preciated by the upper classes of Euglaud. who
fully believe, or, at least, earnestly hope, that a
Bourbon will, before many months elapse, rule
France! It was the sudden overthrow the king, tho
throne and the dynasty that hewildered the miud,
and it has not yet recuvercd from that shock, or
the succeeding ones that so soou followed. But
while the |ieople of Europe, from Austria aud
l’russia to Roland and Italy, are ohtauiiug their
just rights by standing togetherand marching thro’
hutnau blood, it ia astonishing that the l'rime Min
ister of Eugland mid bis advisers are so foolishly
blind ns uot to discern the revolutionary hurricane
that will most assuredly sweep over Great Bri
tain! Y’es, in the House of 1’arliameut every pro
posed measure of reform for the people is tnet by
a “pooh! pooh!” “a laugh,” or "great laughter!” It
is the same with every proposition that comes
from Irelautl. It is received here with contempt
or U geueral laughter,”. Jf the members of Parlia
ment who thus laugh at Irish schemes or Chartist
inovciueuis could hut heurhut one half that is dai
ly uttered by jioor hut determined men, who re
present not tens hnt hundreds of thousands, they
would not treat so indifferently or contemptuously
their recent movements or petitions. These weal
thy aud aristocratic members,'asn-eftas the whole
country, may soon hear tiie significant words which
told with such brilliant effect fit Franee only one
mouth since, "it is too latr\" Y'es, hundreds of thou
sands do uot now conceal their plaus of Reform,
which are called seditious or treasonable by thj
aristocracy who fastcued the chaius that hind the
millions. , v
These plans to overthrow the Government—for
politics are now considered “a mockery and a
farce”—are boldly avowed, and with u determina
tion that alarms the more moderate classes. For
mouths—ay, years—these plaus have been in em
bryo, but now they are |Hibhsfied to the world.—
In less than three mouths, perhaps ia ouo mouth,
opposition of th« most powerful kiud against the
Government will manifest itself. It will appear
first in Ireluud, aud it will he an opposition deter
mined aud fierce, aud eod in tho loss of many
lives. It will spread through Euglaud, and uo
person can now toll what will he its end.
The Chartists of England can muster in the me
tropolis, ala day’s notice, 309,000able-bodied and
hold men. 'The Repealers of Irelaud can find at
uuy hoar of the day or night, iu the city of Dubliu,
a like number, all armed with muskets or pikes!
It is a well kuuwu fact, lor it lias hoen openly n-
vowed, that many policemen aud soldiers hare
ulrestiy fraternized with the masses—secretly,
some; opeuly others. The standiug artny of Eu-
gluudand Ireland is "Tux Pxortx.” Every sol-
dier is from .-inAjelongitig to tbe people. Uut ad
mitting that the soldiers obey orders aud fire upou
tho people, cun teu, or twenty, or even fifty !hou-
sand resist these two or oue hundred thousand
stul wnrt. starving determined men, equally well
armed, lighting lor Iheh-just rights, mid who have
solemnly sworn that that they wiil obtain them,
let tho consequences ho wh.it they may? At this
Critical moment these are solemn questions, and,
unless some great concessious.are speedily gr. nt-
cd, concessions will fiually he obtained by tho
blood of tho people! This, at present, is the ulti
matum. Tbe aristocratic journalist, shut up in his
miguiliueut aud luxurious study, caunot see this,
nor know it, lor ho dues not go out aud condescend
to mingle with the people, aud consequently he
ritiieulcs the inovciueuts of.the masses, as he did
iu February, on the vary day that the King of the
French 11 from his palace aud his throue! But I
hid passed Ilnurs aud days amongst them, spokeu
my own sentiments to them, and watched their
enthusiasm and determination. I am free to con
fess, tint judging from close observation, I fear
that very soon much blood will he shed in Eng
land mid Irelaud; and this die leaders of the popu
lar movement acknowledge; and say that they urn
ready to fall in the first rauks, for they know that
halls will he showered upou them at the onset.
The people will, however, triumph at last.
At a reiiuul martiug uf tho Irish Confederation,
in Dublin, speeches were ramie and resolutions
passed iu which rebellion was op only rucommeud
ed. Mr. Dufly, of the Nation, proposed a resolu
tion to tho efl'cel tint the Counsel adopted the
principles contained tit the prosecuted speeches of
O Brieu, Meagher aud Mitchell, aud they were
determined to drive the Green Bauuer of 100,000
National Guards through the indictment,
Another resolution proposed tho speedy organ!-
xatiou and arming ofa National Guard, composed
of nil sects of religionists. Mr. Reilly spokeiu sup
port of this resolution, and said that they should
open the jails for the liberation of the patriots with
pole-axes and crowbars. He then spoke of barri
cades. rifles, pikes anil powder, aud his speech
was hailed with enthusiasm.
Mr. Mitchell, of the Uuited Irishman, said that
three weeks ago he called on them to “Register, 1
hut he now asked them to "Arm, Ann !" lie was
sick of talking and writing. Hecotijurcd them, iu
God's name, to get gups ; and those who could
not afford to purchase a rifle must provide hitnself
with n pike. "You must all krve arms, and ho
ready to turn out.” The Government should have
iio trouble for evidence against him, (Mr. Mitch
ell j for he wnnlJ stand by everything tbut ho had
written, published or spoken. He acknowledged
that the prosecuted articles were "seditious libels. 1
He inteuded to commit high treason. *‘Be pre
pared to rise. Thenfis no ueed to name tbe day
now—but on nu early day or night, he prepared
to smash through that castle and tear down the
ttuioti flag that insults our city.’’ Loud cheer* fol
lowed, with cries of "We will!” Mr. Mitchell de
clared that there should be no rest fur b.ui until
ho ssw Ireland a ’’free Republic." Tremendous
cheers followed.
It is important to examine the sentiments of the
more liberal English journals, and the Daily News
stauds iu the foremost.rank, with and for the mass
es. lit an article ujion Ireland, it says that tbe
Irish di-mand fur Ireland “a parliament of her own.”
“Right or wrong, such ia the conviction of millions;
right or wrong, such a conviction is .a pregnant
fact, which ought not lightly to be disregarded.
It is easy to cnll tho cry for Repeal absurd nod
abortive. The cry may bo so t hut whst is its
cause?” "Imperial misrule and neglect." “Assu
redly, tho Imperial system of legislation for Ire
land cannot bo changed too soon.
Tho Observer of l|io 2Glh says! “Is it possible
that England can remain untouched by the influ
ences that arc now abroad.!, or that those who pos
sess the power of the State and administer the
Government of the people can continue to cling to
those abuses of her institutions, those oppressions,
which have grown up cut of years of peace and
plenty to fester and cnuker.tbe general welfare .ol
tho community ?’’ Tho OBsertfcr goes ou to re-
mark that while tho whole Contineutot Europe is
in one blaze, the Legislature of England is impo
sing new tuxes for terms of years; adjudicating
upon the petty corruptions of some of its own
members; squabbling over iudhidnal inleresU;
doing everything, in short, but tbe one thing need
ful. Nero fiddled while Koine was buruiug-
The great body of Chartists tnw'ud U» JJ-
petitiou to tbe House of Commons on tho I Out
April, calling for "The Charter.” At a recent ».i r g°
uieetiug of Chartist* iu Loudon, if was stated that
wbeu their petition was presented, from two to
three liuudred thousand Chartists would walk to
the House of Commons. One speaker said' it
was all a mockery and a farce to petition at all, as
they very well kuew that the Government woolu
never grant the People’s Charter, aud therefore
just ono hoar ought to be appointed for the House
of Commons to consider their petition. If they
said “No,” then 100.000 persous would form n
compact body, u tutors laud each other by sign**
unite iu aprocesaion and upset tho Government!
(Great sensation was manifested at thi* proposition.
1 trger mass of Englishmen than our public press
will admit, or thau the upper classes seem to he
aware of." In the same journal, of March 29, the
House of Lords is attacked in a leading article, aud
great reforms are recommended. For iustauce,
the News says that the electoral franchise should
be extended, small constituencies he duue away
with, the ballot adopted, aud, in short, the reform
of the Legislature.
The Guveruraeut wilt soon find that the voice
of the people cannot be stifled by “poo-poobs” and
“laughter—great laughter,” as it has more than
once attempted iu the House of Parliament. The
.Daily News reminds Ministers that “the tone in
which all proposals for i eduction of military and
naval expenditure are poo-poo lied in the House of
Commons U calculated to cause great irritation iu
the Provincial seats of commerce aud manufac
tures.” Again, “though these districts may not
have much influence ou the political coteries of tbe
metropolis, tbe Reform Bill aud Auli-CorinLaw
agitation show their influence in tbe country."
Ou Tuesday, tbe 28th, Mr. O’CouucI, in the
House of commons, gave notice that on tho 11th of
April Mr. O'Conuell. M. P. for Limerick, would
move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal tbe Leg
islative Uuion between Eugland and Ireland. Tbe
Iluuse laughed! LaughoU wuiie every Irishman
was at that time accurtug a pike ten feet loug for
the purpose of resisting British soldiers, and while
every Irishman was swearing to use that pike a-
gainst Euglaud.

Federalism and Democracy.
One grand distinctive difference between Fed
eralism aud Democracy, may be traced from tbe
coinraeucenicut of Ibis government to tbe iireseut
time—~it is the difference between tbe strict and
tbo liberal or constructive interpretation of the
Constitution.
The doctrine of State Rights, has everbeon held
by tbe Democracy; ass fundamental article of their
laith—they regarded the federal league as a com
bination ofiudependeut sovereignties for certaiu
especial purposes, which purposes were intended
to be clearly defined and set forth in tbe Constitu
tion of the United Stales. And those who contend
ed that Congress had uo power to pass any laws
uuless that power wascleurly defined inthatinstru-
meut were called strict interpreters, or State rights
men. Of Ibis school, Thomas Jefferson, James
Madison. John Taylor, of Virginia, Gen. Jackson,
Ifcc., were prominent members. This wusa favor
ite doctriue uf the celebrated John Randolph of
Roanoke, who maintained that -our confederated
States were far different from the consolidated
inouurchies of tho Old World—that it was a solar
system, a government within a government, that
the Federal bead was geueral iu its nature, aud
the States internal, and ue was decided' in his op
position to giving auythiug more to the geueral
government thau had heeu specially grouted.
Alexander Hamilton and uis followers though-
differeutly, and were advocates of tho construct
live interpretation, and with their,superior patent
eves, saw many implied powers >u"the Constitu
tion as clearly as if they were distinctly enumera
ted. Such was tho (tower of Federal imagination,
which bus considerably increased siuce the days
ol Gen. Hamilton, e. g. the power to coin inouey,
&c., they say, implies a power to create a Nation
al Bank. This iustilutiou could not redeem the
money of its brauches, and iustcad of giving a cur
rency of uniform value, the States were deluged
with a variety of hose aud depreciated paper mo
tley.' The people’s money was placed iu an insti
tution under the coutrol of individuals iiucoiu>t-ct-
ed with the government, fur the especial aud sin
gle benefit »f a corporation.
It would fill culumu after folu.nn to enumerate
tbe instances and exam"^ of this independent
principle that scorned all obstacles. In fact, this
vagruut power, Once having commenced its jour-
r.oy, aa$ been waudering yet, and like tbe wauder-
ing Jew, will uever cease. For iustauce, the
power to regulate commerce is clearly and ex
pressly delegated, cud hence it was agreed that
the power to regulate a thing is to prescribe the
way ill which it is to be carried uu. which neces
sarily includes and implies tho power to coustruct
the way; that is, the roads uud canals on which it
is to be carried. John Raudotpb, of Roauuke, iu
his fine satirical vciu has admirably touched off
this mode of proceeding. He iustauce* the case of
au unfortunate German, whose name was changed
by a liberal and constructive interpretation, from
Fierelein to Peter Gan. The operation was per
formed in this wise: Fierstein anglicised Friettoue
which being elegantly translated meins Flint, but
Flint, iu these day* of modern refinement, must be
Frenchified into Pierre a Fusil, aud Pierre a Fusil
means Peter Gun.
The Democracy of the present time still cling to
the creed of their fathers, aud have a sufficient
reasou for the faith that isiu them. They adhere

Mr. Editor—I visited your city last week, and
sold my cotton at 5 cents, after refusing 7 cents
some months back, and consider my elf lucky to
get 0 cents. Week after week I came to town,
and was by some told that cotton would go up, by
others that it would go down—so I concluded to
disregard ware-house merchants and cotton-buy
er*, aud take a fair and candid view of European af
faire, and not depend on tbe “next steamer’s news"
nor the incorrect wires. Well, then, said-1, there
is France, that mag (aud I hope will) become a
stable Republic, but more likely, will pass tbrougb
a civil war of some years and end in monarchy.—
Then there are Poland, Sweden, Sicily, Prussia
and Austria, with all their Duchies and priucipali-
tics, big and little, in a great hubbub, with Russia
about to jump upou them, which will draw Eog-
land into the melee, provided her Chartists aud
tbe starving Irish do not give her too much to do
at borne. Wbat will be some of tbe consequence*
attending this state of tbiugs—indeed wbat has
ensued already ? Why tbe hoarding of specie,
loss of confidence, causing tightness in the money
market, thereby cramping manufacturers and
trade generally, and cotton speculation iu particu
lar—already is bullion wending its way across tbe
Atlantic by every packet that leaves our shores—
and tbo ouly way to keep it here is to sell wbat
cotton you bave, and raise plenty to eat, and some
to spare next year, to feed tbe starving millions of
Europe. YVbat I bave said above is not specula
tion, it i* truth, which you all know, but don’t re*
fleet upon. This view, in connection with the'
prospect of an overwhelming crop tbe coming sea
son, should convince others, as it baa me, that 5
cents now, is better than 4 cents by aud by; and
even better than to bold over till fall, and get o t
most 4 j, besides paying expense*. It is my firm
conviction—in full view of all tbe ejril influences
that will bear on cotton for some time, that cotton

There is perhaps no mil living, whose life pre
sents a picture so singularly made up of lights aud
shades, as that ot Louis Pliillippe, Ex-Citizen
King of the French. And the historian who shill
carefully collect the varied events which com
pose the narrative of this strangely great man, will
find a fertile theme ou which to cxercis^he pow
ers of his genius. To-day wo’behold the young
Duke bearing thick upon bit brow, the konCrs of
Jetnappesaud Valmy—respected and beloved by
all for his amiable aud shining qualities: to-morrow
the scene changes, and the eye pursues a sorrow
ful pilgrim wandering on foot, iucoguito, through
l)ie desolate regions uf Lapland and Iceland, aud
thence seeking refuge from Jacobin fury in a land
of strangers—a land of Republicans. Toni ay we
look upon tbe Citizen King seated ou the tnagnifi-
cent Throne of the Capets. His fair fame extends
to the limits of civilization and the crowued heads,
the world over, dwindle inti pigmies and become
shadows into comparison. To-morrow the pur
ple throne is trailed in the dust by a band of boys,
•he royal family divided aud dissipated like autumn
leaves, and the great King ofyeaterday, becomes an
exile aud takes shelter beneath thu roof his dead
liest enemy. Bred in that stormy and eventful
period of the first French Revolution—called
the days of youth to witness the decapitation of
Lqnis the Sixteenth and Marie'Autoinetto, and in
troduced by a Father iuto the very hot bed of
Jacobinism, it is strange, passing strange, Louis
I’billippe did not profit by experience, and by
tempering his prerogative to the^irogreas of civ
and religious liberty, the better to provide for tbe
stability of bis Crown. But it seems as thou
the hand of providence burdened his heart like au
to Pharoali of old, and blinded him as to his own
interest. In the day of bis youth when bearing
tho cognomen of Duke of Chartres, wo behold
him striking tho first blow at ike foundation of
the “Iron Cage,” that horrid prison house, and o-
peniug the channels of his sympathies to the ap
peals of the miserable prisoners. But when tho
Duke becomes metamorphosed into a King, how
different the picture! his heart no longer responds
to the cries of suffering .humanity, and the same
damp dungeons, he crowds with malefactors—
criminals who, as Fuuch says, have had tbe atida
city to look at the King. The downfall of Louis
is tho act of bis own hands: he Is tho architect of
Ilia own misfortnues. No sister or bruttler has he
on whom to plant the infamy of kis own misguided
acts, aud no oue to share with bim tko bitterness
of that evil day, which must eventually come to
all Kings who trample on their people’s rights,
save, a -Ministeras despotic as hi&self and a few
remnants of the Bourbon Dynasty. Louis Phillipp,
is chargeable with acts of gross inconsistency aud
hypocr>5y.\Vfien tho three days of 1830 were about
to restore the Bourbons to the Throue of France,
he could in so far forget the "truth aud its alliau-
ces” a* to remark to the Marqnis.de Lafayette,
that a Republican form of Government is the
most (terfect iu the world. This remark was to
gain over tho Republican Party in France, and
thereby establish tho "Citizen King” on the throne
He probably forgot this sentiment when together
with his Prime Minister, he was concoic ting schemes
for the total abolition of the name of Republican
ism from France. Did such restrictions as gav
rise to the emeute on tho 22d of February, harmon
ise with tho Republican principle? Does a body
guard of oue hundred thousand men, the snppres
sion of the people’s meetings, and tfie confinement
of Newspaper Editors in prison savor of Republi
canism? It may be said Lonis I’billippe was Kin L
and to continue tube King he must adopt the code
of King*- Be it so. But w here, iu what aingle act,
do we ever fiud tho slightest exemplification of this
love of Republican Government, contaiued in bis
professions to Lafayette? We must conclude, that
if he possessed it iu sincerity, the attractions of
Royalty swallowed it up. With tho sufferings of
the Duke of Orleans every feeliug heart will read
ily sympathise; but over the grave of burned ty
rnuny let feeliug hearts be hard and eyes of pity-
dry. But Louis Phillippe is not without redeeming
points of character. Never was a father more ir
dulgent, a husband more affectionate, or a brother
kiuder. These are shining fruits—jewels of char
acter, before whose lustre the ruby and the dia*
mond “pale their ineffectual Gres ’’ These are the
brillinut qualities which shed a mellow radiance
over the gloomy household of the exiled King.

Sands’ Sarsaparilla.
The following testimonial from tbe Agent to the
value of the Sarsaparilla in a case of Leprosy, will be
read with interest by all similarly alflirted—
Beaver, Pike co. f Ohio, Sept. 7, 1846.
A. B. 4t D. Sands—Gentlemen—A-man near here
used six bottles of your valuable Sarsaparilla far tbe
Leprosy, and has received more benefit from it than
all otherremodies combined forsixyears past. It res
tored a hand, a leg and foot from a situation that no
person would have known they belonged to a human
body, as all appeared to be one mass of petrifying sore.
His hand, and other diseased parts, arc all restored to
their natural size and feeling; are entirely healed over
and his leprosy cured. He intends nsing a few more
bottles to permanently establish his health.
Yours, very respectfully, G. W. RKY’NOLDS.

The recent news from Europe is full of deep and
solemn it terest to every siucerely philanthropic
miud. The popular movements iu various parts of
tbe Old YVorld, within tile last few years, have
been like the-rising wiud and the swelling tide:
but the precursors uf the coming storm. From
tbe vine-clad shores of the beautiful Rhine, over
the extended face of the Continent, have these itr
flueuces been at work; aud have had their deuou-
ment in the complete overthrow of tbe Monarch^
iu Frauce, and tho proposition to substitute iu its
stead Republican institutions. Like tbe ever-
wideuiug ripple that has its birth on the placid
bosom of tho Lake,and expires on the distant shore
—and with tho impulse and affinity of an electric
shock—has this great event struck upou the popu
lar heart of the intelligent masses of Europe, produ.
cing iu its progress, an expression of the popular
will, that baa made the corrupt aud rotten dynas
ties of all Europe reel and tremble, as if the day
of final retribution had indeed arrived. Already
do we seo Louis Fhillippe aud his whole family
fleeing from France, like so many rata from the
sinking ship. In Austria, Metternich—the hoary
trespasser upon tho rights and liberties ofhiscoun-
try men— 1 Seeking safety iu flight. In Boland, and
eveti in Russia, are the elements of popnlar and
free principles cnlmiuating to a revolutionary cri.
sis, tbut threatens tbe solid fabric «f the Czar’s
power. And who does not feel with them T—
Whose heart ia too small in its capacities to enter
tain so sublime and ennobling a sentiment of ay in’
patby for bis race ? YVbat ia it buta conflict bo*
tween, the bloated and besotted champions of
Monarchy, on one band t who are engaged In tbe
ouboly effort to forge new links to the chain that
bas so’long fettered and subjugated the human
miud;—and,on theotber: outraged Natqre, lashed
into the stormy majesty of the occitu’s billows,
overturning in its resistless fuiy, every trace of tho
oppressor’s wrong. Even in the sea-girt Isle of
Erio, about whose history there clusters so many
mournful associations, bss the great troth found
utterance, in open rebellion against their oppress,
ors. Who does not offer an aspiratiou to tbe
God of Nature aud of Justice, that he may “lay
baud upon the shield and bnckler," and stand up
to help them washout the long arrears of guilt and
wrong, peacefully and bloodlessly if possible,—
but if not, with tbe avenging arm of violated na
ture, struggling for tbo glorious heritage ofhuman
righw 1 and human liberty! X.

.Gentlemen—I was afflicted with Asthma for four
teen years, and had tried every remedy in the country.
I had also been to several physicians, and found no
relief whatever. I was afflicted at times so severely,
that tho blood would gusli from my nose, and uly
breathing was difficult. Indeed the disease had gain-
ed so mnehonme that I despaired of ever getting well,
when I cliaueed to get a bottle of “Wistars Balsam
of Wild Cherry,” which effected a perfect cure, and 1
now consider myself perfectly sound. This can bo
proved by numbers of men in Franklin county and vi
cinitv, and I think it my dutv to let it be known.

Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla Pills
Dr. LEROY, a Licentiate of the Royal Collage of
Physicians ia Loudon, having used in Ins private prac
tice, fur a number of years, the Wild Cherry and Sar
saparilia, at length made an extract of them, which,
with other vegetables, he has combined in one of the
best Pills ever made known to tho Eoropean commu
nity, and which met the attention of tiie American
people. They are the most ellicaoious purgative and
tonic yet discovered.
THE WILD CHERRY
is an excellent tonic, possessing astringent and aro
matic properties, which make it valuable in Dyspepsia,
Jaundice, Weakness of the Stomach and Chest.
THE SARSAPARILLA
is demulcent, dieuretic aud soothing, and is given in
Rheumatism, Scrofula, diseases of the Skin, and to
eradicate the had effects of Mercury. In the opera
tions of all ether purgative Medicines debilitation and
purificaiion go hand in hand; they remove the good ns
well as the had, thus weakening the system which
they were only required to cleanse, and making the
cure, generally, almost as had, and frequently much
worse, than the disease. Dr. Le Roy’s Pills, on the
contrary, stronndhen and cone the system which they
purge and purity. And this is their peculiar attribute
and the principal cause of their unrivalled popularity.
P. S. The virtues of the Sarsaparilla and Wild Cher
ry are too well known to medical men and the com
munity to require farther detail.
