I.ATEII FROM JSl’KOPli.
The splendid new Stcnm-ship America, arrived
, t jjfw York on Saturday, 29lh iuat. with Liver
pool date* to tho 15th inclusive.
y,- 0 gro indebteJ to our friends of the Charleston
Evening News, for tho following Telegraphic des
patch which will bo found deeply interesting and
important.
The great Chartist Demonstration, contrary to
all expectation, had passed off quietly, they bav
j u g finally consented to send their immense pe
tiiion to Parliament by deputies, thereby uband
oning tho idea of marching, as originally contem
plated, in a body to London
Sir George Grey's Bill for tho security of the
frown, had passed Parliament, by the enormous
majority of <07 votes, and gave great confidence
in the stability of the government.
The disturbances and excitement still continued
in Ireland, though it is highly probable that the
popular movement there will be controlled, espe
c jolly as the Chartists have given way inEnglaud,
Every tbiug remained quiet in France, aud pre.
parations were making for the approaebiug elec,
lions.
Monetary affair* in France, and generally on the
Continent, contiuue most discouraging.
The war bad commenced in Denmark, and an
engagement had taken place,
Austria had proposed to euter upon negotiations
for Peace with Lombardy.
Prussia contiuuea to be occupied with the tliffi
rultiea in Doumark.
The commercial news is favorable Consols

Th* qhcat Chartist Mkxti.no.—Tho grent
Chartist meeting was held yesterday, aud a less
formidable demonstration it would hardly be pos
sible to conceive. It certainly did not present any
one ol'lhe fearful characteristics which the peacea
ble inhabitants of the metropolis had, for some
ilsys, been led anxiously to appreheud. Positive
ly/ in contemplating the whole proceedings, wo
55
were of.eu tempted to doubt whether the uilelli-
gouce on which the government must have acted
ju this matter was not a hoax, nud whether tho
multiplied and unwonted precautions they bod
adopted to meet imaginary perils could have been
snything but a dream. As a display of strength,
as s menace to a government and to tho quiet in
habitants of a greutcity, tho whole was a down
right und almost a ludicrous failure. In every res
pect tiie men and boys wno joined iu the proces
sion to the place of mceliug were as harmless as
could well he imagined. Poor fellows ! by-fur the
greater portion of them, with their pale faces, and
puny ami ill-clad frames, were calculated to iu-
»o:re much less of terror than of sympathy and
pilv, and must have impressed every one who be
ll -kl them with the belief that their wnuts were
of that description fur which legi.-lutivo changes
could nut, iu the first instance, at least, pupply a
titlin ' remedy. We lenrn that they continued
most or«JerJy, and seemed to ho under the com
plete coutrul of their leaders.
The streets of the metropolis presented, at an ear-
lv hour, little beyond their usual appearance.—
Here ami there might be seeu a detachment of po
lice marching to their quarters, or a few special
constables hastening to their place of meeting. A
few mere sight-seers were to he met occsaioually,
snxious to recounuitre, e» militaire, the supposed
preparations for street warfare. But no such pre
parations were visatde ; that there were neither
artillery, soldiers or police stretched iu the open
sir, at any of the points supposed to be most men
aced. Many of tho skopkeepers, even in the im
mediate neighborhood of the meeting, opened
their shops at the usual hour. A large number of
them, however, allowed their fears to prevail oyc-
everv other consideration. Wie general feelin
ou the subject of the priqiosed demonstration, ns
far ns we could judge, was a determination to
treat the whole affair ns a case of “much ado about
nothing,” although this feeling was somewhat
checked by life dread of unknown conpcquqpces.
Addresses were delivered, aud it was resolved
to aUin Um the priression. The petition was sent to
the Mouse of Commons. Thus closed, quietly,
this much dreaded assemblage. Experienced
military men. having made an estimate at tho re
quest, we believe, of the police authorities, cal
culated that at no period of the day were there
more than li.UOU persons ou the common.
M*.v.ciiXSTKU, April 10, I p. in.—All is quiet

hrasiun.
Nuthxoham. April 10.—The Chartists meeting
hut just broken up poaceably, and adjourned till
Wednesday next.
PncssiA.— Uxntix, April 0.—Some excitement
rioted hero lust night. Li bor is beginning to
foil, sui l,he price of provisions is increasing. At
fair o'clock a mobof about J00 workmen crossed
the square of llio l’ulace, taking the direction of
the Koeuigstrsrse. They wanted to destroy a m «n-
afactory iu this street, hut were quieted, and the
Right passed off without disturbance. It is the o-
pihioii of many professing knowledge of What the
movements ol the people are, that all is not yet
fiobheU, hut that tlieio will be another disturb
ance.
Acstr’x.—The Wetucr Zuilung, of April 4, an-
Runners that the Emperor lias just suppressed the
Council ol Slate, and given to the parties compos
ing it another position, which will not interfere

Ministers.
A lettered the 4:h, Vienna, addressed to the
Ziclangiballa of Berlin, says thut orders have been

pacification of Lombardy. The government will
abandon Italy, hut only after liaving obtained in
demnities iu money, aud settled important com
mercial treaties for the future. The committees
tinned to revise the new luws on the press have
decided that newspapers may appear without au
thorization or cautiou money, and without neces-
urilv having »u Austrian ’lor nn editor. They
have also decided that libels on the imperial I'uiin-
ly slmll he tried iii the same manner us those on
private individuals.
Gsrmaxt.—The riots among tho country peo-
pie of tho States of South Germany continue. The
castle of Wulleiihourg. in the Province of Saxony,
belonging to l'riuce Schocnbourg, wax burned
dowu ju the 4di of March. The I’riuco lied to
Alieabourg. Tho troops called up from Lcipsic
otid Zwickau were too fueble to resist. Serious
anxiety existed for tho savety of the Castle aud
town of tilaucha. A general iusurrcctiou among
the highlanders of Suxouy was imminent. At
Duusiicschigcn, in Wnrtemberg, a bloody conflict
took place between tho population and a detach
ment of Wurtcmburgeso troops, which came to
"ccupy the Scbwarzwald. Both parties had sev
ers! killed aud wounded.
DtsMARfi.—The Danish fleet is being prepared
with all possihlo despatch, and the government
kn announced iu intention to make reprisals upon

***• It denies any warlike intentions on the.part
of the Government. “Nothing could he further,”
it says, "Irom the idea of the Government; but iu

Democratic Rcclius in Bibb.
At an adjourned meeting of the Democratic par
ty of Bibb, held at the Court House on Tuesday
last, the Hon. Carlton B. Cole resnmed the chair,
and Heury J. Lamar and G. W. Fish were re
quested to act us secretaries.
The committee appointed at a previous mcetin
to report a series of resolutions expressive of the
feelings of the party, relative to the course and
policy of the present administration of the General
Government, See., reported the following pream*
hie and resolutions, which were adopted
Assembling as we have, forthe specific purpose
of selecting delegates to represent the county of
Bibb, in the convention which meets at Thomas-
tou on the first. Monday iu Juue. then to choose a
suitable ciiudidate for the suffrages of the people qf
the Third Congressional District; it is cur hi"li
privilege and duty, on this occasion, to give ex
pression to the sentiments of the Democratic party
of Bibb, ou other matters of geucraliuterest.
We cannot withhold onr testimony to tbe firm
ness uud ubiiity evinced by tbe President of ibo U.
States,.fur the conduct of the war with Mexico.
As to the justice of the war, n host of witnesses
present themselves, in the official documents of
tho military and civil officers of Mexico, to show
beyond a doubt, to any unbiassed mind, that tbe
war wus forced upon our Government by tbe mis
guided authorities of tbe .Mexican Republic. The
question of boundary was au open question, be
tween the two Governments, a subject for amica
ble adjustment, and a minister empowered to ar
range the settlement of it and other mutters iu dis
pute, was sent to Mexico, if that had been the ou-
ly cause of war. But it was not. The strip of
territory between the Neuces and the Rio Grande
was not the cause of grievance with Mexico. The
whole of Texas to the Sabine, was tho purpose for
which she organized her armies, amid Arista and
Ampudia would have found their hybrid legious
ou our soil, whether Gen. Taylor bad advauccd
from Corpus Christi to the Kio Grande, or retraced
bis steps to the Sabine. Tho re-conquest ofTexns
1ms long been the political hobby on which Mexi-
cau aspirants had risen or fallen. It was by ap
peals to their morbid vuuity, on Ibis point, Sauta
Auiia repeatedly rose, and Herrera felI
These facts are historical, and it requires the
exerciie of some charity to believe, that they are
not perceptible to tbe visions of those whose wri
tings and speeches have carried “aid aud comfort”
to the mesa-rooms uuJ fire-sides of the Mexican
briery and people. But it is not the purpose of
this meeting to meddle with tho subject of political
casuistry, or question the motives ol those opposed
to the war with Mexico. It may be unbecoming,
on this occasion, to allude to the seeming incon
gruity of those whose taste leads them to dcuounce
tho warns a heinous offence in the eves of God und
man, und yet desire to elevate to tho Presidency
ihe man who h is uut only led our armies to what
they term tho ‘.‘daughter,but advised that so-
cnlled direful cause of all—tbe march from Corpus
Christi to the Rio Grande. . If similes were not un
savory, the following might suggest itself; It
would sound strange to tho uniuitiuted, to henr the
eight commandment set forth ns a rule of life, by
persons who were loud in the praise of ono who
had disobeyed its injunctions so far as to be con
victed of abstracting another’s goods by stealth.
If the war, asnlleJged, he criminal, the instru
ments cf its execution are murderers. So far as
the Whig party and General Taylor arc concern
ed, itis beyond tfio province of this meeting to in
terfere wi'.li tlieir matters of conscience or inode of
reasoning. If by their arguments they couvict
him of wholesale murder, mid desire to reward
the rights of the Southern people should not be en
dangered during the period the territories shall re-
1 main under the control of tbe United States either
from the continuance of the municipal laws of Mex
ico, or from the legislation of the United States.
11. Resolved, That tbe opinion advanced and
maiutaiued by some, that the people of a territory,
acquired by tbe common toil, suffering, blood and
treasure, of the people of all section preparatory
to admittance as a State into tbe Uuion, lawfully
or constitutionally prevent auy citizen of an
such State from removing to or settling in sue 1
territory with his property, be it slave property o
otherwise, is a restriction as indefensible iu princi
ple and as dangerous in practice, as if such restric
tions were imposed by act of Congress.
12. Resolved, That the Democratic party is, and
should be, co-extensive with the Union ; and that
while we disclaim ail intention to interfere in the
local division aud controversies in auy of our sister
States, we deem it a solemn duty, which we owe
to the constitution, to ourselves, and to that party
to declare our unalterable determination neither
to recoguize as Democrats, or to hold fellowship or
commuuion with those who attempt to denational
ize tbe South and its institutions, by restrictions
upon its citizens and those institutions, circulated
to array one section, iu feeliug and sentiment, at
gainst the other, and that we hold the same to be
alike treason to party faith, and to the perpetuity
of tbe Union of these States.
13. Resolved, That thismeeting pledges itself
to the couutry.and its member* pledge themselves
to each oilier, under wo political necessity whatever,
to support for the offices of Presideut aud Vice
President of the United States, auy persous who
shall notopeuly and avowedly bo up|>osed to eith
er of the form* of excluding slavery from the ter
ritories of the Uuited States mentioned iu the reso
lutions, as being alike in violation of the constitu
tion, and of the just aud equuj rights of tbe citizens
of tiie slaveboldiug States.
14. Resolved, That these resolutions be consider
ed as instructions to onr delegates to tbe Baltimore
Convention, to guide them iu their votes in that
body; ami that they vote fur no men for Presideut
or Vice Presideut, who will uot unequivocally a-
vow themselves to be opposed to cillierof the luring
of restricliug slavery, which are described iu these
mutations.
15- Resolvsd, That as democrats we are proud
to find ibulevery statesman iu the uoii-sfovehold-
hig States who has declared opinions favorable to
tbe constitutional equality o| Southern citizens iu
acquired territory, hiof our owu political brother
hood, aud thut every public meeting or other body,
political or legislative, which has taken side* lor
us, is, without an exception, also democratic—aud
we commeud this fact to tbe whigs of the South as
an important eiemeut to be considered by them,
when they are choosing friends, nllies, or candi
date* “without distiuctiuu of party."
In accordance will) tbe first resolution the chair
appointed J. W. Armstrong, A. H. Colquitt, James
Dean, Samuel B. Hunter, William Minims, Henry
Lamar, and John P. Evans, Esqrs., a committee
to report the names of ibur gentlemen to as dele
gates to tbe Convention to meet in Thomastou ou
tjie first Monday in Juue.That committee reported
the names of the following gentlemen as delegates
Sami J. Ray, J. \V. Armstrong,A. H.Colquittaud

On motion, it was Resolved, That the delegation
have power to fill auy vacancy that may occur iu
their number.
It was resolved a Iso, that the Georgia Telegraph

becomes their duty to recoucile the seeming incou-

we feel called on, as au act of justico to protest,
and we do here ami hereby suleiiiuly protest
against their being included iu the disgraceful
charge, which a portiou of the press and orators
have impliedly or openly thundered against them.
Resolved, That the chair uppuiul a committee of
seven, whoso duty it shall he to select four dele-
n ntes to the district convention, which meets at
Thomastou, on tho first Monday iu June, to choose
a suitable candidate for the sufirages of the people
of the Third Congressional District.
Resoloed, That tjio President of the U, States
lias acted with becoming forbearance in the incep-
tion of tbe war, which Mexico forced on tho Uni
ted States, uud during the progress of tho war,
has displayed a vigor find ability that commeud
him to the ndmiratiou of his country.
Resolved, That tho events connected with this
war have developed a luteut strength iu our conu-
try which has done more to give us confidence at
home, and reputation abroad, than auy circum
stance since the War of Independence. The mi
litia, our chief reliance for defence, bus been tbe
derision of our owu people, aud the coutempt of
an iuvadingarmy, who saw it flee aud leave tho
capital of the U. S. to pillage und fire; organized
into corps of Volunteers, that militia has shown it
self at Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo, and Cburubus-
co, as firm in battle as the veteran troops of Eu-
rope. Our country during tbe past year has dis-
aud that under tho relentless onpositiou ofn power
ful party at home, who scrupled not at throwiug
impediments in the way of the administration^
Resolved, That the history of our GovcrupicDt,
for n few years past, has given us a reputation
abroad, which has iuspittd the people of Europe
with the cotiviclion of tiie ability of a people to
govern themselves. And iu.tho solution oUthis
Ion- doubted problem here, may we not trace
iDe^nction of the people of France on tho 22d leb-
ruary. and tho two succeeding days, when they
bid “tjie ablest sovereign in Europe,” girt around
by an hundred tbousaud soldiers, and ramparts of
granite, to depart with his truiu of titled progeny,
uud Frenchmen undertook the government of
France without the aid of kings. Our warmest
feelings of sympathy are with the Republic of
France.
In addition to the foregoing your committee beg
leave respectfully to move tho adoption of tbe
following resolutions adopted by the Alabama
Democratic State Couvcntion:
Whereas, opinions have been expressed by em
inent members of the democratic party, aud bv a
Convention of the parly in NVw York assembled
for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Balti
more Convention, that Ihe municipal laws of the
Mexican territories, would not be changed ju tlie
ceded territory, by the cessiou to the Lulled
States, and that slavery could not bo re-estabtuhed
except by the authority of the Uuited States or of
tho legislature of tho territorial government that
no doubts should be allowed to exist npop a sub

Chief Magistrate, to administer the executive de
partment of this Government, for four years, from
the fourth of March next: as well as to choose
their representatives in the next Congress of the
United States; aud, whereas, many and important
issues will be involved iu the canvass of the ensu
ing election, upon the determination of which, the
weal or tiie woe of this commonwealth greatly
depends; and whereas, from the first organization
of onr Government, to the present time, a party
has existed, iuimical to true Democratic principles,
and to the interest of the masses, who compose the
greater portion of tbe people of this Union; and
the same party is still as vigilant find active as ever
in propagating their pernicious principles, aud in
their attempts to destroy Ihe ancient landmarks of
our glorious Constitution: and whereas itis the
privilege of evety freeman, to meet hit fellow-citi-
zeusiu primary assemblies—freely^to discuss pub
lic measures, and questionsof public policy, and to
rebuke tbe reckless conduct of those whose aim it
is to divert our Government from its proper legiti
mate course, aud to build up tho interests of the
favored few, upon tbo ruins of the rights and priv
ileges of the many. .
1. Resolved. That the r~roocratic party of Pike
county are as fully as ever convinced of the cor
rectness of tho great principles for which vvenave
so long conijended, and which have characterized
everv Democratic administration, from that of tho
illustrious Washington, to that of our present able
aud patriotic chief magistrate..
2. Resolved. That Jamxs K. Poll has fully re-
alioed the expectations of his political friends, by
faithfully administering the Government of onr
country, according to the true spirit or the Consti
tution, and is entitled to our continued confidence
aud heartfelt gratitude.
3. Resolved, That the war in. which our coun
try has been engaged with Mexico, “was brought on
by tbe act of Mexico;” that it was a necessary,
just, and constitutional war, on our part, and had
our public functionaries shrunk from a prompt aud
encr-etic resistauce to the aggressions of the Mex
ican Government, and failed to carry the warinto
the enemy’s country, they would have forfeited
the confidence of the people of the United States,
broti‘htdisgrace upon our nation, aud would thern-
selves have been .guilty of treason, aud deserved a

4 Resolved, That we view with regret and mor-
tification, tho unpatriotic course pursued by a par
tisan press, and by party leaders, who have shown
a willingness to sacrifice their country s honorup-
on the altar of party ascendancy, by opposing the
cause of our common country—impeding the pro-,
gross of our country’s arms—writing and speaking
against the war with Mexico, thereby “giving our
enemies aid and comfort.”
5. R -solved, That the officers aud soldiers of
our gallant army, by their bravery and patriotism
iu chastising tbe insoleut foes of our Republic, have
covered themselves with imperishable honors, and
merit the everlasting gratitude of every true lover
of his country.

those who are the friends and advocates of tbe

the means which God and Nature have put in our

Sands’ Sarsaparilla.
Diseases affecting the blood and fluids generally are
very numerous, and comparatively bat little under
stood. The blood is a fluid sui generis, and enters
every organ through the circulation, affording nourish
ment to every tcxtQre and the source of each secre-
ion. When, therefore it is impure, disease is carried
o the remotest fibres of the animal frame, in one in-
tance causing ossification of the arteries or turning
hem into bone, in auother, white swelling or diseases
f the joints; also, scrofula, or swelling of the glands
n various parts of the body; rheumatism, attended
with palpitation and disposes of the heart; gouty af
fections aud cutaneous eruptions also result from the
same cause, aud a variety of other maladies. This
preparation which is purely vegetable in its composi
tion will arrest, and if timely administered, perfectly,
cure these diseases, by purifying the vital fluid, re
generating ahe constitution, dispelling diseased action,
giving tone to the general energies of the system.ond
enabling the blood to course on treely, bringing with it
health and renewed vigor.

Wislar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry
A gentleman from Vermont rites as follows :
• Cambridge. Vt., June 18, 1846.
Mr. Seth W. Fowle—DearSir—For several years
past, my usually good health has been occasionally in
terrupted by spells of coughing produced* by colds ; a
year ago last winter I was brought to the verge of the
grave by qvery severe cough, accompanied witli se
vere pains in both sides, between the shoulders, Ac.,
which, with long continued night sweats, and aud
other alarming symptoms, reduced me so low tbatmy
friends despaired of my recovery. I consulted physi
cians, and tned the various remedies of the day, bat
noneqf them cured me. At last I procured Dr. Wis-
tar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and it saved my life ; 1
have not enjoyed better health for many years, there
fore I can recommend others who need it to try it.

S. J. Ray, Esq: It seems to be the distinct un
derstanding. that the able representative in Con
gress. from the second district, Hon. Alfred Iver
son, declines a re-election, this makes it necessary
for the electors of the district to select some other
person, for this honorable and responsible post of
duty. I have seen the names of several gentle
men suggested os snituhle, without any disparage,
incut of these, permit me to suggest to the consid*
eration of tho nominating'convention, the name of
Hon. Angus M. D. Kino. This steady und con
sistent republican has, as he deserves to have, the
unqualified esteem and approbation of every
DEMOCRAT.
Tbe Upglish Chartists.
To the Editors of the Charleston Courier :
Gentlemen—It may not be uninteresting to
some of tho numerous renders of your valueable
journal, to give a brief statement of the political
tenets of that party in England called Chartists.—
Their creed or as it is called the “IVopIe’sCbarlcr,”
contains the following live articles or points, viz:
Universal suffrage, vote by ballot, mutual parlia
ments, no property qualification and members of
parliament to be paid for tlieir services. It will
be seeu at once that the wholo of these demands
cannot bo obtained but by walking iu the foot
steps of their neighbors, tho French, a course
which- the middle classes of Britain—her bouo aud
sinew—would be very unwilliug to imitate.
It is probable, however, they may secure a part
of their charter. If so, their efforts, with increas
ed influence, will he bent upon the seperation be
tween Church and State, the abolition of lieridita-
ry legislation, and the total extinction of all sine
cures aud pluralities, together with various other
evils, such as Gam, Laws, Sec. See.
Whether these sweeping changes, if attained,
will he fraught with weal or woe to the body pol
itic, is a problem time alone can solve. But a
strong and lively faith in tho firm and solid charac
ter of the Anglo-Saxon, gives bright assurance that
whatever alterations or improvements their gov
ernment may undergo, they will ho effected by
moral, not physical means. F.
The Revenue—Free Trade triumphant!—
The Protectiveststem exploded.—The receipts
from Customs up to this date aro about $28,000,-
000; and it is now certain, that the estimate of
$31,000,000 made by the Secretary ot die Treasu
ry will be tally realized, ns there remains yet two
mouths and the third of a month ol the present fis
cal year. For public lands, also, the receipts up
to tbe present date are abqutLwoipiUion* and three
3 uarters, leaving the large Miami sales to come iu
uring the month of May. It seems certain that
the estimates by the Secretary of $3,500,000 for
the fiscal year, from public lands, will he realized.
Where are now the predictions of Messrs. Web
ster, Evans, and indeed of nearly all the leaders of
the Whig party, ns to the revenue of tho uew ta
riff? They are all exploded ; whilst, after all the
abuse aud ridicule, Mr. Walker's estimates aro all
fully realized by the result.
Steam Passage to Upper Calipornia.—We
are pleased to learn that Messrs. Howlund& Asp-
inwall, ill furtherance of their already extensive
operations on the shores of the Pacific, having ob
tained the government mail contract, are construc
ting three steamers to ply monthly between Pana
ma and Oregon, touching at tbe prominent ports of
California. These steamers are to commeuco run-
oinguext winter, iii connection with ono from this
port ttrCbagres, nt*he Ithmus. When these arr-
angments shall have taken effect, tho passage from
New York to San Francisco iu Upper California can
bo made in thirty days ; whereas, now it occupies
about four months. The timo consumed in cross
ing the Isthmus seldom exceeds thirty hours.
In connection with the above we remark that a
railroad from Memphis Tennessee, to tho bay of
Sau Francisco via Santa Fe is strongly talked of at
Washington—a ronta far superior to all others the
country boning comparatively level throuought-
Surely this is the age of progress.
A Rival to Chloroform.—A new agent for
producing Insensibility to pain has lately, it is as
serted, been discovered in Norway, aud tried with
much success in Christians. The Morgenblad
states that it consists of sulphate of carbon, which
may be obtained in abunduuce from charcoal with
very.little tronble and at a small cost. It 13 em-
ployed in the same way as chlorofonn. tho
of which it will probably soon take. The discov
ery was made by M. Herald Thaulow, an apothe
cary in Christiana.
Wild-Cherry and Sarsaparilla'Pills
Dr. LE ROY, a Licentiate of the Royal College of
Physicians in London, having used in his private prac
tice, fora number ofyears, the Wild Cherry and Sar
saparilla, at length made an extract of them, which,
with other vegetables, he lias combined in one of the
best Pills ever made known to the European commu
nity, nnd which met the attention of the American
people. They are the most efficacious purgative and
tonic yet discovered.
THE WILD CHERRY
is an excellent Umic, possessing astringent and aro
matic properties, which make it valuable iu Dyspepsia.
Jaundice, Weakness of the Stomach and Chest.
THE SARSAPARILLA
is demulcent, dicurctic and sootliine, am! is given in
Rheumatism, Scrofula, diseases of the Skin, and to
eradicate the had effects of Mercury. Iu the opera-
tions of all other purgative Medicines debilitation nnd
purilicniion go hand iu hand ; they remove the good as
well us the bad, thus weakening the system which
they were only required to cleanse, and making the
cure, generally, almost as bad. and frequently much
worse, than the disease. Dr. Le Roy's Pills, on the
contrary, strengthen ami tone the system which they
purge nnd purify. And this is their peculiar attribute
and the principal cause of their unrivalled popularity.
P. 8. The virtues of the Sarsaparilla and Wild Cher
ry are too well known to medical men and the com
munity to require further detail.

Presentments.
HOUSTON SUPERIOR COURT, 1
April Term, 1848. j
U7T J. E, the undersigned Grand Jurors, s worn, chosen
IV and selected, lurthc April Term, lsi8, of Hie
Superior Court for said County, at the -l.ise of oar la
bors, beg leave to make the following 1'resentments:
We'haste, in the discharge of our duties, examined
tbe Books of the several Couuty Officers, aud find
them kept with neatness aud Correctness.
We find iu the hands of the ‘ Couuty Treasurer, a
balance of two hundred and forty four dollars.
By Committee, sre have examined the Jail, and we
are happy to state, that we find it without a tenant.
Some slight repaits are necessary, aud we recommend
the proper authority to have them done.
On the subject of the Education of the Poor, we
heartily concur with his Honor tbe presiding Officer of
our Court, that it is a matter of thehighest importance,
in which is deeply involved tbe permanence of our in
stitutions, andjthe prosperity anil happiness ot our citi
zens. Believing, as Wo do, upon this great subject,
we should be recreant to our dictates oi duty, did we
not extend to the indigent, this boon, which is so much
needed. We therefijre_ recommend to the Inferior
Court the assessment of a tax of 15 per cent, for the
education of the Poor of our county, lor tho year 1848 ;
and request the authorities, 'whose duty it is to con
trol and dispense this fund, to guard it well and expend
it judiciously.
We find on hand of the Poor School Fund of last
year, a surplus of two hundred and sixty three 3T-I0*
dollars; aud think this, with the 13 per cent, will be
sufficient for the purposes for which it is required.
We recommend tiie Inferior Court to assess a Tax
of thirty percent, for county purposes; and also ten
percent for the relief of the Poor of said county.
We respectfully call the attention of the proper au
thorities to the condition Of the Bonds generally, and
paijicularly, to the roid changed from W. M. Has-
lum’s, to near Doctor Rico's, in the 14th district of said
county ; the new road opened never having been put
in proper order. The road leadingfrom Perry to Hayue-
viile, particularly the causeway tind bridge at Indian
creek, is needing attention. We recommend the Com
missiouers to have those matters attended to forth
with.
For reasons deemed sufficient by this body, we re
commend the passage of an act by the Legislature,
at its next session, for tiie compensation of the Grand
aud Petit Jurors of the county of Houston, the amount
