EMIGRATION OF TUB CHEROKEES. '
The reading in the Senate of the communu '
cation from the Secretary of War to the Cher,
okee delegation, which will he found anncxci,
elicited a brief but animated debate. It was
atrenuoualy objected to by several of » •
tore representing the State, .moiedialely inter
eated. The principal ground of objection acem
ed to be that the proposed arrangement went to
alter the treaty, affect the free ae ion of the
alatea and contemplated delay in the removal.
A more careful examination of the document
will, wo think, abow that the views taken of it
at the moment arc not auatained by ita contents.
Nothing »« stipulated for on the part of the states, j
or any thing proposed, that is n«t to he the result
of their own consent upon a view of their own
interests and duties. No changes or abridge
ment of the articles of the treaty are agreed to,
other than such as consist in additional facilities
snd advantages for the Cberokees, to proceed
from the Federal Government alone, and to be
extended or not, according to the pleasure of
Congress. No avoidable delay is contemplated.
It is certainly a most important object to the
country that the Cherokee* should be removed
peaceably, and it does not appear to have been
the intention of Government, by the arrange
inonta proposed, to delay their removal one sin
gle day beyond what may ho necoasary to the
convenience of I lie parlies. It is proposed to
ask the consent of the States interested to allow
them sufficient time for this purpose, and it i*
not doubled that, from the generous character of
the States, this jndulg.inco will he granted, it a
necessity for it shall he found to exist. It will
not require two years, nor is the period extended
so long, or to any definite time. General Scott
will he instructed to watch over the emigration,
and to sec that it is conducted in good faith and
kept up continuously. The number ol cmi.
grants to 1m: removed does not fall much abort of
§O,OOO souls, and cannot, with the utmost clili
gr'ncc, he removed in less than one year. 'I he
Government seeks peace. It seeks lo remove
these people; it does not desire to incur any risk
of their committing arts of desperation, and
bring on a collision between them and the whiles.
Their determination to protect the citizens from
sll acts ol violence, is to he seen in the ample
provision made for their defence.
No orders have been given lo suspend the ex
ecution of the treaty. The emigration will he
carried on as rapidly as, in the opinion of the
discreet officer entrusted with that operation, it
can he conducted.
It is not contemplated lo moke a new treaty,
hut lo carryout the provisions of the existing
obligations as rapidly as possible; for it cannot
he denied (hat if the removal ran ho entirely ae
complislied, and eflo.otud peaceably, within one
or even two years, it would ho more politic, hu
mane, and eoonoim* ul, both of time and money,
00 to effect it than to incur the evils of a war.
The reference proposed lo he made to the
Ntai" authorities is nut intended, nor is it calcu
lated, to procrastinate the execution of the Ire*,
ty. Their co-operation kas been asked in per
fect good faith, and from s due regard to their
rights.
The additional appropriations for the emigra
tion of the Cherokee nttion require some legis.
latife provisions. The treaty contemplated dc
fraying those expenses when Congress agreed lo
give $600,000 for the payment of spoliations
and the expenses of emigration. The sum
proves to he inadequate for both purposes, and it
is proposed to Increase it
These views, in connection with the proposed
arrangement, wore made known to an individual
Monitor supposed to tie rest, acquainted with the
temper of the remnant of the Cherokee people
yet to emigrate, and first able to judge of the pro
priety of consenting lo their proposition Io re
move themselves, through their i’liiels and Head,
men, as most likely to contribute to the peace
able removal of the nation. All the delegations
of the Slates interested would have been con
sulted if it could have been supposed that the
proponed arrangement, in the slightest degree,
affected, without their previous consent, the
rights or interests of any one of those Htales.
The liberal propositions now submitted by the
Secretary, in his reply lo the Cherokee delega
tion, will lest their sincerity. If they proceed
forthwith in sincere and earnest efforts to ae
oomplish the removal by their own action, with
in such period us the Slates shall Is- willing toil,
low them for that purpose, the additional advnnt
ages proposed will, doubtless, ho secured lo them
by ('ongress and the Executive. If they do not,
no other result will follow from (he offer than lo
afford one more proof of the desire of (lie Go- ,
vernment to make the unavoidable change in the
condition of the Cberokees, conformable to the
dictates of benevolence, and their own best in
terests. In the mean lime, (lie execution of (he
treaty will proceed as if this communication hud
not been made.
To Messrs. John Ross, Edward Gunter, R.Tay
lor, Jan. Brown, Samuel Gunter, Situwaher,
Klijah Hicks, and While Path, Cherokee del
gution.
The undersigned has attentively considered
the project of u treaty submitted by you, and, al
though equally desirous with yourselves to sat
isfy that portion of the nation (hut still remain
east of tlio Mississippi, and to offer them every
inducement to remove peaceably and contented
ly to their now homes in (he West, and not un
willing to grant moat of the terms proposed hy
you, still, where the rights and just expectations
of sovereign Slates are involved, it is deemed
inexpedient, without their consent, to give to any
stipulations which affect them the form of’a sol
emn treaty.
In the first article you desire lo stipulate and
agree that “the said Chorokoo nation, parly
hereto, engages and stipulates to remove from
all the lands now occupied hy them eastward of
Mississippi, and hereby renounces and relin
3uishos to the United Stales all claim of every
eacriplinn to such lands; such removal lo he
commenced at the earliest convenient period
and to be fully completed within two years from
(his dale; to be effected by the Cliorokeox them
selves and hy their agents, and the entire expen
ses of such removal to he defrayed out of the mo
ney to ho paid hy the United States, as heroin,
after provided." As has been before observed,
the Government of the United Stales could not
agree to this act without the consent of the
Stales whoso rights are involved, and whose in
tercels may be affected hy this stipulation; hut
the Executive pledges itself to use its best efforts
to induce (hem to abstain from pressing their
claims in a manner that would produce lost or
inconvenience to the Cherokee people, and would
he inconsistent with their being removed with
every reasonable comfort. From the well
known humanity and generous character of the
Stales of Georgia, Alabama, and North Carol!-
na, there can he no doubt of their granting ev
ery indulgence which the interests of humanity
require; and if two years are necessary for the
comfortable removal of the nation, the under
signed will venture lo assure the delegation that
their request will bo granted.
If it be desired by the Chorokoo nation that
their own agent# should have the charge of their
•migration, their wishes will bo complied with,
and instructions be given to the commanding
General in the Cherokee country to enter into
arrangements with them to that effect. With
regard to the expense of this operation, which
you ask may bo defrayed hy the United Slates, !
in the opinion of the undersigned, the request
ought to be granted, and an application for such
further sum as may be required for this purpose
shall be made to Congress. <
la the next article of your project, you pro.
pose that “the United Stales, on their part, stip
ulate and agree, in consideration of the promi- I
eca, to perfect the title of the Cherokee nation (
lo the lands and territory westward of the Mis. 1
siwdppi, described, mentioned and defined in and
by the treaty of 1833, between the Unitdd Slates 1
and the Cberokees west ot the Mississippi, and *
the privilege of outlet thereto annexed, and to *
issue a patent therefor to the Cherokoc nation v
in perpetuity; and further to pay the said chiefs 1
and representatives of the Cherokee nation east 0
of the Mississippi, the sum of dollars, in v
manner and at the time hereinafter provided.”
It was always the declared intention of the 1
Government to perfect the title of thin land to a
the Cherokee nation, and to issue a patent there
for, so soon as that portion of them now cast of 1
the Mississippi had emigrated west, granting ii
the nation the privileges scoured to them by a
former arrangements, Nor will it object to
grant them, in perpetuity, if Congress should
think proper lo do so on their recommendation,
under certain restrictions, lo which the delega- I
tion have assented. As Ihe delegation expressed |
their fears that a form of Government might lie 1
imposed which they were neither prepared for j
nor desirous of, the assurance is hereby repeated, 1
that no form of Government will be imposed up
on the Cherokee* without the consent of the
whole nation, given in council; nor shall their
country be created into a territory without such
previous concurrence.
With regard to the payment of a further sum
of money hy the United States, the undersigned
cannot consent to recommend such a measure
to ('ongress. The Senate of the United Slates
deliberately decided that five millions of dollar*
was a full and sufficient indemnity to the Che-
I rokcca for the lands they relinquished on the cast
aide of the Mississippi; and it is understood that
the member* of that body sec no reason at pre
sent to alter that decision.
In the third article of your project you ask that
•the said Cherokee nation, party hereto, through,
and hy their acknowledged chiefs and officers,
■hall have the entire control, management, and
disposition, responsible only lo their own nation,
of the fund* to he paid under this treaty.”
The undersigned would very much prefer ma
-1 king this disposition of the funds of the nation,
, hut as the interests of those Cberokees who have
lately emigrated, are deeply involved in this pro
position. the Executive eannot recommend such
an alternative without the previous consent of all
, the parties concerned.
The next article asks, “ihat in addition to the
said sum mentioned in the foregoing second ai
tide, the United Elates shall forthwith pay, or
arrange lo bo paid lo the Cherokee nation, parly
hereto, the arrearages of the annuities which
were provided for in llie treaty of 181‘.I, up lo this
l date, and shall continue such annuities during
the two years allowed for said removal.”
I The undersigned assures the delegation, (hat
whatever arrearages of annuities are due lo the
I' Cherokee nation, under the treaty of 18111, shall
he promptly paid up lo this dale, and a coiiiinu
(; once of that annuity for two years longer shall
i> he asked of Congress.
k ’lho hlh arlielo requires “ihol inasmuch sn the
,1 ('herokees contemplate removing im provided for
in sind first article, as rapidly as tlirir numbers and
engagements will permit, llio United Slates slipn-
II lain and engage to pay lo them, ns Midi removal,
e and the necessary preparations therefor progress,
out of the money mentioned in said second article,
:- such Mims as may from time lo time bo necessary
(o defray the expenses incident thereto.”
f , All payments and necessary advances for the
purpose herein set forth, will he liberally provided
(or in the contract which the commanding general
will he authorized to make with the Cherokee
• agents, for the emigration of that portion ofthena
i non east of the Mississippi.
I The full article asks, “ihut during the period pre
scribed and allowed hy this treaty for said removal,
Iho I - idled States stipulate and contract to protect
the persons and properly of said ('herokees from
all nets of encroachment and violence, and to fur
• rush them, when required, with the necessary es
cort and protection during such removal until their
< arrival at their destination beyond (he Mississippi.’*
i- The necessary escort and protection during the
removal of the ('herokees until their arrival at their
destination beyond llio Mississippi will be furnish
ed, and the l ulled Slates w ill protect 1 1»« persons
1 and properly of the said < 'herokees from nil illegal
acts ol encroachment and violence, and will use
their best efforts with the Stales interested lo pre
vent their pressing the execution of their rights in a
manner calculated lo oppress or inconvenience any
, individual ol’lhe nation.
i In the eighth article the request is made, “That
, in addition to the moneys herein before siipulnted
to be paid hy the I niton Siam, they farthorogroo
to pay lo the said Cherokee nation, jmrty hereto,
the gross sum of dollars, in lull discharge
1 of all claims upon the UniU d Stales, under the sii-
I polatioiis of former treaties, (or public and private
• property, Spoliation*, indemnities, and other reela
millions Whether national or Individual, and for
re imhmseineiit of expense* incurred in and about
this arrangement."
Si* hundred thousand dollars was set apart for
this purpose hy a vote of ('on*re#s, and to defray
the expense* of the removal of the nation to their
new homes. Hnl as ibis sum proves lo he inade
quate for both objects, the Executive will rrconi
' mend to Congress to make » further appropriation,
, in order to satisfy them.
. The undersigned trusts tlint the ( herokee delega
tion will see in these liberal concessions the earnest
, desire of the President to reconcile the nation to the
necessity of removing without any other delay than
a due regard for their eomfort and convenience dc-
I mauds; and in this conviction, confidently relies
upon the cordial co-operation of tin* chiefs and head
men lo effect ibis desirable object.
On (Ik 1 part of the Government, copies of this
document, with suitable applications to the Stales
( interested, will he immediately transmitted to (ho
several Governors thereof; instructions will he sent
' to the commanding general lo net in conformity
• with its assurances, mid a communication he made
lo Congress, asking the consent of (lint body to the
provisions proposed for the benefit of the Cherokee
nation.
The undersigned, in closing this communication,
w bleb has been considered w iih great deliberation,
and drawn with the utmost regard for the wishes of
the delegation, desires it lo he distinctly understood
that it contains the most liberal terms the Executive
can grant, with u due regard to the rights and inte
rests of alt the parties concerned; and therefore
present* it ns the final dolerminationoftheCoveni
incut, and the peremptory conclusion of the corres

WEDNESDAY, May 23, 1838.
Read the minutes of yesterday.
Col. Blamling, Chairman of the Committee
of Fifteen, submitted the following report and
resolution:
The Committee to whom it wai referred to
consider and report as to the proper time for the
Banks of Georgia and South Carolina to resume
specie payment.
Respectfully report, that in considering this
question they have directed their inquiries ex.
clusivcly to two points, vi*: The ability of the
hanks to begin and sustain such payments, and
the effects on this community, winch a resump
tion on any given day may produce. In looking
to the causes of the suspension, it will lie found,
that the exigences of the community, rather
than the inability of the banks, induced that
measures The performance of their legal duties
on the part of the latter, depended so certainly
on a corresponding performance on the part
the former, that the incapacity of the debtors of
the hanks to meet their engagements, deprived
I these institutions of the means of redeeming
their circulation ut the moment. In a short
I time they might have collected their funds so as
to have fulfilled all their obligations, but in doing
. this, they must have exacted with great rigor
r the payment of the debts owing /hem, and have
1 granted no new accommodations, however nr
gent the call for them might have been. So
, conscious was the great mass of the community,
» that the suspension was indispensably necessary
; to protect their best interest, that it received
n rnj where , the countenance and support of our
, citizens. Il has now been home one year, and
I it is proper to inquire, how much longer il should
I continue. As far as the hanks arc concerned,
your committee have no hesitation in deciding,
that no advantage to them, however great, ought 1
to induce them to continue the suspension a mo
incut, after they possess the ability to resume,
| and that they ought to make any sacrifice, to
i enable them to begin and sustain such resump
tion. An adequate and justifiable motive for a
longer suspension cannot he found in any sup.
[ posed prolii which the hanks may expect to dc.
nve IVom il; hut if tolerated any longer, il must
r he on tiie plea of absolute pub’ic necessity, and
from a due regard to the piddle good.
h Your committee haye examined the condition
I of the several hanks of (he (wo Stales, as exhih.
iled in the returns furnished them, from which
the subjoined abstracts are formed : and they
1 have no hesitation in saying, that if no other in.
lerests were involved in the question than their’s,
t they ought to resume at once. If they do so,
I they must sustain themselves in it; they must
i not risque a failure: and In enable them Intake
■ this high ground, there must be produced a hea
vy pressure on the community. Solvent as all
the banks are, were a general resumption to
take place in the two Stales at any time before
our other crops shall have come to market, and
I before the banks in the adjoining Stales shall
have resumed, there must he much pecuniary
r distress and embarrassment produced by the dc
mandu for payments and by withholding further
r accommodations, which this measure would com.
pel the hanks to adopt. They, therefore, are of
opinion, that an immediate resumption is forbid.
• den by a due regard to the public interest; and
throe other periods have been mentioned aslike.
i ly to meet public expectation, and 1 1 he advun
■ tageous to the community, vi* : Ihl July, Ist
• November and Ist January next; and your com*
ifuller have no doubt (hat either the earliest or
' the latest of the days should ho adopted. A
more Uiipropitioiia period than November could
, not he selected. The next crop of Cotton will
, begin to come to market in October, and the
• means to purchase it, must to a great extent, be
i furnished by the hanks. In (ho accustomed
course of business, (he money must he raised on
the bills of the merchant, drawn against the col.
ton at 60 or 90 days. Ilefore these come to ma
turity, the hank nutes paid for them, will have
gone into circulation, ami have found the wav
hack again to the hank to draw out their specie.
If they discount to meet the demands and wants
of the community, their circulation in November
ami December, willin' larger than atanv other
season of the year. With such a circulation, it
would be suicidal to resume. If they should lie
required to do so at this season of the year, the
i hanks have but one alternative which ran prom,
ise them safety. They must retain their present
means, do nothing for I lie country during the
summer, and when the cotton crop comes to
market in the autumn, they must leave the mer.
chants with what funds they can obtain else
where to purchase il. Whatever pressure such
a course may bring upon the community, the
hanks must adopt it, it they are required to re
sume in November. The price of our great staple
must thus be most materially affected, and great
embarrassments must attend both the planter and
the merchant.
But by adopting a period as late ns the Ist of
January, aditfeicut slate of things will he produ
ced. Ihe money paid to the planter for his crop,
in the preceding three months, will in part have
found its way into the banks in payment of debts
owing there, whilst iho hills of exchange and
notes given to procure it, will have been paid,
or will l»e daily maturing, and put the hanks in
funds to make new advances, or to procure spc.
cie, should the demand for it exceed the supply
on hand. Resumption in November will leave
the planter without a market—resumption in
January, will find him with half his crop sold,
his debts to a large amount paid, and (he mer.
chant prepared to purchase the other half at a
fair price. Your committee cannot hesitate in
deciding between the two periods.
lint it may he asked why not resume at once,
or in July? It must he recollected that the
Hank Convent ion which met in New York last
month, have decided in favor of Ist January:
and wo would ask whether it would lie prudent
for the Hanks of Georgia and South Carolina to
open their vaults for six mouths to replenish those
of all the other hanks of the Union except those
of New York, while not a dollar can be drawn
in exchange from them. Should (his course bo
insisted on, the consequence must he, that our
hanks must restrain their circulation,curtail their
discounts, and urge payments from their debtors
when they are least able to pay. The plan,
ter can pay but once a year, and January suits
him best. The mercantile part of the comma
nity are heller aide to meet their engagements
at all periods. But it must lie recollected that
that community has, in the late fire in Charles,
ton, received one of the severest shocks ever
felt by the South. Ils immediate violence has
fallen on the city, which has been the scene of
this awful calamity; hut ils effects arc gradually
but generally extending, and in some degree it
must l»c fell by the whole commercial coiiimiini.
ly of the South. In this state of things, would
il be prudent for the banks of South Carolina and
Georgia, by anticipating the resumption by our
neighboring Slates, do deprive themselves of
the power of granting to the sufferers indulgence
on the debts they now owe, or of giving aeeom.
inodations to save them from the pressure of this
unexpected calamity?
Your committee have, therefore, unanimous,
ly agreed to recommend to this Convention the
adoption of the following resolution :
Kcso/rrd, That the Banks represented in (his
Convention will resume the payment of their
notes in specie, at or before the first day of Janu
ary next.
Being pul to the vote, it was unanimously
adopted.
Moved by Colonel Blamling, and seconded,
that the whole proceedings of this Convention,
together with the abstract* of the condition of
the banks, be published in pamphlet form and in
the newspapers. Unanimously adopted.
Moved by Mr. Cogdell, and unanimously
adopted, that the thanks of the meeting be re

which were ordered to he printed.
A great number of memorials were presented
asking Congress to rescind the resolution of De
cember last, by which all Abolition Petitions arc
laid on the table without reading. Tney were
severally laid on the table.
Several pretty packets, lied w ith red and blue
riblron, were presented from ladies of Massaebii
setts, expressing their disapprobation of duelling.
Hot on motion, they were unceremoniously laid
on the table.
EXPULSION OF MR. ADAMS.
Mr. ADAMS presented a great bundle of me
morials from the State of New York and other
places, asking the House to ex|»cl linn therefrom
us a most intolerable nuisance. Mr. A. moved
to refer the memorials lo a select Committee of
Investigation, that being the usual course adopt
cd in such rases.
Mr. DROMGOOLE thought the whole was
nothing but a quiz, lie said lie would therefore
move, to lay the memorials on the table, unless
Mr. Adams desired hit character lo bo investi
gated.
Mr. ADAMS said ho oared but very little
about it. So, after a hearty laugh, the matter
was laid on the (able.
Mr. ADAMS then presented sundry memori
als, asking Congress to lay a duty on distilled
spirits. He said it would be well to appoint a
standing Committee on Temperance, but as it
related lo the revenue, be would move its refer
encc to the Committee on Ways and Means, all
of whom were very temperate men (a laugh).—
It was finally referred to that Committee.
1 be SPEAKER presented a communication
from the Governor of Michigan, forwarding sun
dry joint resolutions from (he Legislature of that
Stale against the Annexation of Texas. It was
referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Also a communication containing the proceed,
mgs of an anti.abolition meeting at Zanesville,
Ohio—laid on the table.
Also a memorial signed by the laborers of this
city, who have been thrown out of employment
by the suspension of the work on the Treasury
Building, asking the speedy passage of the hill
on that subject now bei'oie the House. It was
referred.
At three o'clock,on motion of Mr. CAMBRE
LENG, the House went into committee of the
whole, and took up the lull making appropna
l:ous for the suppression of Indian Hostilities for
1838, and for arrearages for 1837.
The debate is still going on at four o’clock.

FROM FLORIDA.
The following extracts from letters, with
which we have been favored, furnish the latest
intelligence from the posts in East Florida, west
of the St. Johns.
Extract of a letter, dated
“Fort Brookr, Mav 9. 1838.
“Gen. Armistcad and staff and Major Wilson,
with their companies 4lh Infantry, will leave to.
day for the Cherokee Nation, via New Orleans
the Mississippi, and Tennessee Rivers, to Cal
houn, which they expect to reach in 15 days.—
There is nothing new here.
“Gen. Taylor is at Peas Creek with Alligator
and some three hundred Indians and negroes.
Alligator thinks he can bring in Wild Cal, and
Sain Jones. Ido not believe he can. General
Jesup, I presume, will leave in a few days for
the eastern part of the peninsula.**
Extract of another letter, dated
“Micanopt, (Fla.) May 14, 1838.
“1 have no news to communicate. Wc hope
to be able soon lo move against the enemy.
They arc becoming very bold and impudent
cross our roads in every direction, and come
within half a mile of the fort. Our express men
from Fort King arc fired on every time they
pass. They must be punished, and Major Riley
contemplates in expedition round Orange Lake,
so soon as Capt. Smith arrives with his 35 men,
and —■■ comes from Tampa with a
company of mounted infantry. The last are
expected every moment, and an order for Smith
has been issued. It is certainly the most im
portant enterprise that can be undertaken in
Florida, and if success attends it, the termina
tion of the war may be the result. The enemy
can muster a large fopce. They have a town on
the Ok-U-wt-ha; —have collected their women
and children; arc planting, and feel confident of
- If broken and di.peraed, their wives
captured, and field, laid waste, I am certain
n.any will come in immediately, and the res
will Boon follow. It is at least worth the trial,
and the season is now fair. A month hence
will be too late.”
MONTGOMERY, May 18.—We im.lemand

LIVERPOOL, APRIL24.—We have to inform
you that on Saturday and yesterday, we have hail
n very animated demand in our Colton Market,
though unattended with any improvement in price.
Towards of 11,000 bags, chiefly American, have
been sold during these two days—looo of winch,
American, have been sold to speculators. The
weather has very much improved, and with it mai
lers wear a more cheering aspect. A \ery great
improvement in the Manchester market, or demand
for yarns, would certainly start Cotton here very
rapidly, but I do not think that prices will improve
much before the end of May, more especially a* it
is said that the United Slates Bank w ish now to be
free sellers. The packet ship Cambridge arrived
yesterday. As the Pennsylvania sails this morning
at 10 o’clock, 1 have no time to add any local new s.

very little animation has been manifested du

have exceeded 100 a 500 bales. 'The slock on sale

a still more favorable change will be brought about

NEW ORLEANS, May *2l— Remarks. Busi
ness in general during the past week has not been
materially changed and the demand for up country
produce fair, considering the light receipts; and the
difficulty still existing in monetary matters. Since
our lost review there has arrived a very large
amount of tonnage, mid produce of every descrip
tion urc exported in abundance, as much so as at
1 any period during the season; the weather has
j been favorable and the Mississippi continues in
l good boating order —the Levee exhibits a very live
ly scene.
i Colton. —The market open on Monday list with
a good enquiry for all qualities, which increased as
r the week advanced, and sales have been made io
the extent of IHMM) bales ; in addition to w hi. b sev
eral large parcel* have been advanced upon, by
1 agents of Liverpool houses, and are now going on
shipboard. Our factors have had the advantage
from so small a stock offering in fipht hands, and
prices are higher than at any former perils' ibis
season. The sales made urc principally in North
Alabama* and Tennessee*, at very irregular prices,
round lots having brought H 4, BJ, 9, 94, 91, 24,91
and 10c. and a lot of 17 bales Tennessee*, with
eight or ten falling oil bales, llc In Mississippi and
Louisiana H|, 9. 94, 10, IU4, 11, 114—the latter price
paid for a lot of 5*2*2 bales fully fair, for the northern
mills. Qualities above fair are only to be bad in
small lots, and command onr quotations.
On Saturday we received by express mud, via

A LETTER from Mr. SHELDON P. OIL
BERI, to Dr. WM. EVANS, proprietor of
the celebrated CAMOMILE PILLS :
Dear Sir—Had the immortal Cowper known the
medical qualities of the Camomile Plant, he as
well as thousands since (besides myself,) would
have experienced its wonderful effects on the ner
vous system The public utility'of Cowper was
blighted in Ike bud, through the natural effect of his
nervous debility, upon the mental powers, which
made it necessary for him to seek relief beneath
the rural shade, but the calm retreat gave his phy
sical no repose. If some one then had known the
secret of concentrating the medical virtues of the
Camomile, the discoverer would have been immor
talized with poetic zeal as the benefactor of suf
fering men.
The above lines were prompted from the effect I
have experienced from Dr. Win. Evans’ Camomile
Pills. Yours with esteem,
