Maine.
The Legislature of Maine have passed a law,
by the provisions of which, a plurality will !
hereafter elect members of Congress and coun
ty officers. They have also passed, by the re- i
quisite constitutional majority, an amendment
of the present Constitution, providing for the
election by a plurality, of Governor and mem- !
hers of the State Legislature, both Senate and i
House. The former will take effect immedi- -
atciy. The latter will be submitted to the pco- I
pie at the election in September next, when it j
probably will be adopted.
f From die Washington Union, Hhl /«s/.]
Tac next House ofEcprcseatatives.
The federal party have boldly claimed a mn- ;
jority in the the next House of Representatives, |
and have been busily occupied in dLsignatiug j
a Speaker from ther own ranks for the chair. ,
But the fact is, the battle is not yet lost or won. ;
There are several States yet to vote, and some j
vacancies in those which have had their elec- :
tions, yet to fill; and if these should elect the j
two parties in the same proportion in which
I hey were represented in the last Congress, we j
*hall still have a majority of ten in the House.
We cannot expect, however, to see the same !
seats tilled exactly by the same parties. We
may lose Some, and we may gain some. It |
depends upon the energies of our political |
friends whether they will succeed in the de- j
Rateable districts, and whether they will lose or |
carry the next House of Representatives, '
Wo can scarcely conceive a stronger induce
ment to operate upon the democrats lhan at
the present time, when all their great measures
are at issue—when an administration whom ,
they have elected has faithfully canned out their
principles—when under its auspices the coun
try is attaining an unexampled degree of pros
perity—and when we are engaged in a foreign
war, with which the rights and honor of the
country are intimately connected. . ,
?r» addition to the majority of ten, which wc
are now entitled to possess, wc may claim
another seat from Virginia, which we have
every probability of carrying. This rests ttpou
the following grounds, as stated iu the Lynch
burg Republican: i
Third Congressional District. —All our in for- \
mation from this district induces us to believe '
that Mr. Tredway is elected, though Mr. !
Flournoy has the return by a majority of otfc
vote. It is the unanimous wish of the dem
ocracy of the district that Mr. Tredway'should
contest the election of Mr. F., as it can scarcely
he doubted that he is legally and justly entitled
to the seat. It is a burning shame that so strong
a democratic district should be misrepresented
by' a man who entertains no political principles !
in common with the large majority ofhis con- 1
stituency. It is for the democracy of the dis- ‘
trict to say whether or not they will thus suf
fer themselves to beJmisreprcscntcd in the next *
(. 'ongr»*ss. They' hax e the power, and have I
given their late faithful and efficient represen- i
tative (wc have a good reason to believe) a
majority of the legal votes cast in the district, i
and it behooves them to bestir themselves and 1
see that their rightful voice in the national j
legislature is not drowned by a minority re- j
present ative.

Sand’s Sarsaparilla.
This invaluable medicine has won its way in
putdic favor until it has become the only acknow
ledged preparation that can be relied upon for the
removal and cure of ail diseases originating in an
impure and depraved state of the blood and other
fluids. It is not reduced in medicinal value by the
addition of sugar, and is prepared by a peculiar
process entirely new. The principle which ren
ders this root so valuable is wholly preserved. This
Sarsaparilla is extensively recommended and
proved to be highly beneficial for purifying the
blood, and removing unhealthy htintors, eradica
ting the effects of mercury from the system, clearing
the skin. Ac. It is also used with the happiest ef
fects in Rheumatism and Neuralgia.

of its superior value and efficacy, see pamphlets,

The following article we copy with pleasure
from the Boston Mercantile Journal, March 1816,
j and we hope if any of our numerous readers are suf
fering from any of the complaints which it is said to
i cure, they will speedily avail themselves of it.
Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry,
j It was known many years ago that the wild cher
ry tree of this climate possessed valuable medicinal
1 * 1
; properties. Indeed this fact was known to the
Aborigines, and a decoction of the leaves or hark of
| this tree has ever been regarded by their physi
i cians as one of the most effectual remedies in many
I diseases. This fact, several years since, arrested
the attention of Dr. Wistar, a highly respectable
practitioner of Virginia. He investigated with
, care the healing properties of the wild cherry—
tested its effects when administered alone, and
j when in combination with other remedial agents. —
He found that its natural virtues might be greatly
improved and by combining it with ingredients,
whose properties were well proved and generally
I recognised, a medicine was produced which con
stitutes a remedy of great value in pulmonary af
fections, and diseases of the chest and throat—dis
eases which are proverbially prevalent in onr cities
and large towns, and often prove fatal, swelling the i
bills of mortality to a much greater extent than is
; the case with most other, wo had almost said, all
other classes of diseases.

MOBILE, July )• Cotton.—' The condition of the
j market at the date of our last review was not fa
| vorable to extensive operations. Tbe views of hold-
I ers and buyers did not harmonize, and, while the
former were stiff in their pretensions, the latter
evinced no disposition to meet their demands, and
the consequence w ife, an almost entire suspension j
of business. This State of feeling continued through
the three first days of our commercial week—tie
sales being light and confined to small parcels
until finally prices gave way j a h cent from the
i figures given in our last. On Saturday buyers en
} tered the market with more spirit, and sales to the !
1 extent of 3090 bales were effected. These opera- |
tions gave an impulse to the market, under the in
fluence .•U which it ftfllv recovered the decline a
! bove rcflOredto. and at the close of the day, last I
week's quotations were fully re-established. * The i
limited transactions since have been at tliose figures.
The week closes with a quiet market— holders e- j
vincing no disposition to sell until the receipt of la- !
ter foreign advices, now daily expected, and buy- I
ers refusing to operate unless holders will abate 1
their pretensions. The total sales of the week sum j
up 5300 bales, in daily transactions as follows ; I
Wednesday 800, Thursday 500, Friday 300, ISatar- i
day 3000, Monday 300 and Tuesday 400 bales. The i
purchases have been generally on foreign account
—mostly for France.
The stock unsold is estimated at 40 a 15,000 bales,
which is unusually large for the season, and it is
supposed that fully 15,000 bales of this large stock
are now fairly on the market.

du the nutting forth of the above Schedule,we have
been guided and admonished by the knowledge we
! have of what other lines have already suffered in
! giving the 'Traveller false information respecting
their Schedule time, and have, to the best of our
knowledge and belief, made an average time of the
■ arrival and departure between Charleston and
Baltimore, by tbe Bay Route, for the last two
months, during which period there lias not been a
single failure, by the Boat, to arrive at Baltimore
in time to take the Morning Train for Philadelphia
and the several Routes going North, South-East,
and West.
Tbe Bay Company have been in cxistance up
ward of 'Twenty Years,and through tliis long period,
their Boats, built expresslly for the route, have suc
cessfully run without loss of Life or Property
this fact alone should, and we believe will, he satis
factory to the Travelling Public, that the Chesa
peak Bay' Route is one of the safest ia the whole
j Union.
| si We wore prepared and fully' expected to meet
v ith strong opposition from the Monopoly Line, but
i had hoped that the warfare would have been con
ducted in a business like and honorable wav, and
that their Cards would have contained none of that
I misrepresentation and false inuendoes with which
