Col. Wk. B. Prior:—Dear Sir.- I can and do most
cheerfully and sincerely certify to the efficiency of yonr
Pile Ointment. Few persons can have a better right to
express an opinion concerning the many different reme
dies that have been offered to the public for the'eure ol
the malady than I have, because few have been more
severely afflicted than I have been,and as few, perhaps,
have tried a greater number of remedies for it. ir/y
opinion is that your pile ointment is the very best in use;
that it will not only sooth and ameliorate, but will posi
tively cure if properly applied and persevered in a fair
trial. 1 recommend to all persons in reach of such a
remedy the use of your ointment.
Yours respectfully,

entering into its composition, as well of the mode of com
pounding it. and consider it a remedy powerfully effica
cious in relieving the maludies it professes to cure, us
well ns many other contageous diseases.
1 have known it used with much success in the treat
ment of Piles particularly, and take great pleasure in of
fering you this testimonial of its virtue.

AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral for the Cure of
Coughs, Colds , Hoarseness, Bronchitis,
Whooping-Cough, Croup, Ashthma and
Consumption.
Among the numerous discoveries Science has made in
this generation to facilitate the business of life —increase
its enjoyment, and even prolong the term of human ex
istence, none can be named of more real value to man
kind, than this contribution ofChemistry to the Healing
Art. A vast trial of its virtues throughout this broad
country, lias proven beyond a doubt, that no medicine
or combination of medicines know n, can so surely con
trol and cure the numerous varieties of pulmonary dis
ease which have hitherto swept from our midst thou
sands and thousands every year. Indeed, there, is now
abundant reason to believe a Remedy has at length been
found which can be relied on to cure the most danger
ous affections of the lungs. Our space here will not
Eermit us to publish any proportion of the cures affected
y its use, but we would present the following opinions
of eminent men, and refer further enquiry to the circular
which the Agent below named, will always he plea
sed to furnish free, wherein are full particulars, and in
disputable proof ofthose facts.
From the President of Amherst College,the
celebrated Professor Hitchcock.
“ James C. Ayer—Nir: I have used your Cherry Pec
toral in my ewn case of deep-seated Bronchitis, and am
satisfied from its chemical constitution, that it is an ad
mirable compound for the relief of laryngial and bron
chial difficulties. If my opinion as to its superior char
acter can he of any service, you are at liberty to use it
as you think proper.
EDWARD HITCHCOCK, L. L. D.,
From the widely celebrated Professor Sil
liman, Al. D., L. L. D., Professor or
Chemistry, Mineralogy, Ifc, Yale Col
lege, Member of the Lit. Hist. Med. Phil,
and Sciedtific Societies oj America and
Europe
“ I deem the Cherry Pectoral an admirable composi
tion from some of the best articles in the Materia A/edi
ca, and a very effective remedy for the class of diseases
it is intended to cure.
New Haven,Ct., Nov. 1, 1849.
Major Patlison, President of the S. C. Senate, states
l.e has used the Cherry Pectoral with wonderful success,
to cure an inflammation of the lungs.
From one of the first Physicians in Maine.
Saco, Me., April 26, 1819.
Dr. J. C. Ayer. Lowell. Dear Nir: I am now con
stantly using your Cherry Pectoral in my practice, and
prefer it to any other medicine for pulmonary complaints.
From observation of many severe cases, 1 am convin
ced it will cure coughs, colds, and diseases of the lungs,
that have put to defiance all other remedies.
I invariably recommend its use in cases of consump
tion, and consider it much the best remedy known for
that disease.
Respectfully yours. LS. CIISH4N, 11. ‘l. |

OUR COUNTRY'S GO O IS _OURS.
The English Language.
We call ourselves patriotic, and yet
there is not a newspaper in these United
States that is not filled with the word
English—“ Wherever the English Lan
guage is spoken,” “h is printed in the
English Language,” “ The piece was
played in English.” We are down up
on all (his very unpatriotic kind of writ
ing in American newspapers. It lowers
our dignity abroad. Let us call ourselves
and our language by the right name.—
We are Americans, and we speak the
American language. Blame (he English,
what have we got to do with their talk ?
h is true that there is a very striking re
semblance between the English and
American languages, but what of that ?
So there was and is between the Flemish,
as they write and talk it in Belgium, and
the old English, and yet they are called
by their respective names.
Here are the facts. Across the water
there is a little bit of an island, not much
larger than our little playground, Long
Island, which is called England. Here
is a continent called America—one half
of the world, and more too—and its des
tiny is to be populated, from the North
Pule, where Sir John Fraklin is stopping
clear down to the opposite Pole, with
the real genuine, Puritan, Knickerbocker,
Huguenot, Erin, Dutch, African, Indian
mixture, that is spreading itself nil over
the American surface, and when any of
us get over the water, and are asked by
some Frog-eating Frenchman, “ Parltz
vous Anglaise, Monsieur why should
we Americans not promptly resent the in
sult? Hit tlte man, and then explain to
him dial we were Americans, and speak
our own language, and didn’t know any
thing about what the English peoplej'ab
bered.
When our chaps, on their way to the
Pacific are addressed in Havana by some
tnuslached officer w ith “ llablo lnglesa ?”
pop him, and then reply, with the dignity
ol an ancient Roman, “ No, Sirree, boss.
Soy Americano;” and when a stray
Dutchman gets among us, and removes
his pipe long enough to ask “ Can sic
Englische spruche ?” kick him, and ask
him how he dares to ask you such an in
sulting question on your own soil, and
in your own barn yard ?
Let every American who is afloat in
the gi eat world, and travelling among
the mixed nations of the earth, pull up
his shirt collar, and in answer to the ques
tion put to him by ignorant foreigners,
swear that he don’t speak English—don’t
belong to that gang—that he speaks the
unadulterated American longue, and our
blessed country will get her name up in
a few years, among the nations of the
earth, and we shall know where we stand.
As it is now, the unsophisticated nations
of the globe have got us so mixed up
with the English, on account of our
speaking the English language, that we
have no nationality at all.
Our government ought to take this
matter in hind, and in their official docu
ments use the term American language,
instead of having the word “ English”
printed al the head of public documents
and translations.
All reforms must commence with the
people. To them Mr. Pick makes Ids
appeal in favor of the American langua
ge. When the people move, the great
American press will fall iu ; and when
they lake it in hand, the American gov
ernment will be obliged to carry the re
form throughout the world, and (lien we
shall know the full value of an Ameri
can citizen, who speaks his own—(lie
American language.— N. Y. Pica
yune.
Northern Democracy.
What think ye now, gentlemen, of
y our much loved and much lauded
“ Northern Democrats” with “ South,
ern principles ?” Al a late Congress
ional eaucus of this same fraternity the
compromise test was proposed and reject
ed! At a caucus of the Whigs, subse
quently, the same test was proposed and
accepted ! Who then are the benfriends
of the South, if those telegraphic dis
patches from Washington are con
firmed ? The election of Linn Boyd as
Speaker, nnd J. W, Forney as Clerk,
may be accounted . for, on this w ise.—
Boyd is one of the clique who headed by
Blair, Benton, Van Buren Cos. are
desirous of bringing out Gen. W. O.
Butler for the Presidency. Forney is
the fugleman of Buchanan, ami is the
same gentleman who lately sounded iu
New York the praises of the Southern
Democracy in general, for their support
of the Compromise, and the Georuin
Democracy in particular lor their election
of Mr. Cobb as Governor ! By a coa
lition, therefore of'these respective wings
of Northern and Western Demorcacy—
iheJßutler and the Buchanan wing, Boyd
lias been elected Speaker and Forney,
Clerk. Well, the next move will proba
bly be the nomination of Buchanan and
Butler for the Presidency and Vice
Presdency without the test! The Union
men of the country may therefore pre
pare at once to support Daniel Wtbsier
or J. J. Crittenden for the Presidency.
The latter being tlte most available is
(lie man for us, though as we said before
any sound Constitutional Union Com
promise man, Whig or Democrat, from
the North or South, will receive our sup
port in preference to any one who is no
minated at Baltimore or elsewhere, with
out the aforesaid test being adopted as a
sine qua non.
In the mean while the refusal of (lie
Congressional Democrats to accept this
test, we should say, is rather a hydro
pathic ice water blanket upon the late
Milledgeville movement, to lionej-fugle
(lie Union Democrats of Georgia into
the ranks of the Coffin Regiment! The
Colonel of said regiment might ns well as
not give the orders to disband, at once.
“ Attention Regiment! Unstrap Cof
fins ! Drop Cofiiins! Right about
wheel! [“ Al the w ord march, let ev
ery man take care of himself and tlte d—l
take the hindmost.”] March! Music.
“ We see them on their winding way.”
Letter of J. S. Thrasher-
INA DUNGEON OF THE I’U.NTA CASTLE.
Havana, Nov. 21, 1851.
To the Government of the United Stales
of Ametiea and my fellow-countrymen.
An American citizen, deprived of lib
erty and denied justice, respeefully begs
leave to lay before you the following
facts and appeal:
Upon lauding from the steamer Geor
gia, on the lGili of’ October last, / was
suddenly, and without previous accusa
tion, arrested nnd taken to the office of
the Police. On searching nty person,
and that of a gentleman who accompa
nied me, no papers or letters of any kind
were found upon either of us. We were
then taken lo the hotel where I boarded,
accompanied by the chief of police, who
demanded to be shown the room. On
ascertaining that 1 had no roo.u there,
we were takeu to my residence, and all
my papers seized. The gentleman who
was with me, was there put at liberty—
myself and all my books and papers
were taken to the residence ol one of the
Police Commissaries, where four days
were occupied by the government inter
preters in reading my letters.
On the 21 si of October 1 was thrown
into a dungeon of the city prison, and all
communication with my friends strictly
prohibited. On the 25di 1 was removed
to my present dungeon, and the Fiscal of
the military tribunal made bis appearance
and began a judicial exainintion. On
the 26ih this was continued, and then J
saw no one until the 4th inst., when the
questioning was proceeded with—and on
the Gilt I was again questioned, and final
ly informed that I was accused ofT RE A
- At tlte same time, I was required
to select one from the list of officers that
was presented to me, who should conduct
my defence.* Not knowing any of them,
1 chose at random, supposing he would
cons ill with me and my legal advisers, as
is usual in such cases, in tegard to my
defence. On tlte 7th. 1 was, lor the first
time, all >wed to see my friends, and lo
consult with them as to the course lo pur
sue.
I conferred with ottr Consul, and lie
passed several communications in iny be
half to the government here, all of wlich
utterly disregarded and not replied to.—
On the I lilt, 1 was informed that 1 was to
be brought up the next day for sentence.
I immediately wrote to my nominal de
fender to come at once lo consult with
me, and to bring the proceedings which
are in writing. He replied verbally dim
he would come. He did not come, and I
extended at once a protest against the
proceedings, alleging that J had not been
beard, and (lint neither myself nor my le
gal adviser had been consulted for a
proper defence. I sent (his to ‘he Presi
dent ol the Military Commission that
night, who refused to receive it, saying
that it could only he admitted by (be
Captain General. The American Con
sul, Mr. Owen, as soon as informed of ‘
| TERMS: $2 in Advance.
this, proceeded to ibe place, and protest*
ed agaiust sentence being pronounced, as
l had not been hearJ in defence.
In the morning my nominal defender
came to nty prison to inform me that he
had been allowed by the court, “ only
twenty*four hours to prepare my defence,
that he had been occupyed till that mo
ment examining the proceedings, which
are volimintous, and that within an hour
he must return them to the Fiscal.” On
the 12th I was taken before a Court Mar
tial, composed of a Brigadier General
and six officers of the A rmy. The testi
mony and proceedings were read before I
was brought into court, which is contrary
to law, and to custom, nnd when brought
in, 1 was asked what J had to say lo the
charges against n,e. I repled that I had
not been furnished with a copy of the
charges that I had been denied access to
the proceedings and testimony, that my
nominal defender had neither consulted
with my counsel, and that I now asked
that my protest and petition jor slay of
proceeings should be admitted. I was
told by the President of the Court that it
should be considered.
1 was remanded to my dungeon, and
beard nothing more of the proceedings
until to*day, when I was formally no
tified that 1 HAD BEEN SENTENCED TO
EIGHT YEARS’ LABOR, IN
CHAINS, AT CEUTA, in Africa,
WITH PAYMENT OF COSTS.
h is unnecessary for me to enlarge
upon the impropriety of bringing me be
fore a Court Martial ioa lime of pto-
I’ound peace, or die injustice of sentenc
ing me widiom a hearing; on die utter
contempt of international law, civil rights
and treaty stipulations, iu my trial; or
upon the wilful disregard in this manner
of proceeding of the constitution and
rules of every Court which has assumed
a jurisdiction over me without right, has
tried me without a crime, and has sen
tenced me without defence.
The Government that has the power
and die will to commit these arts is be*
jond the reach of reason ; and my only
resource is to appeal lo physical power
of our own Government for that protec
tion which moral power has not been able
to extend over me, nnd to a.*k my fellow
countrymen such countenance as w ill en
courage the Executive in the manifesta
tion of firmness, and carry some appreci
ation of national rights nnd national du
ties to die hearts of the unscrupulous
rulers of Cuba.
1 solemnly affirm that I have never had
any connection with the patriots which
have invaded this island; and that the
only grounds for haired to me on the
part of the Government and Spanish por
lion of the population here, are that I atn
an American; and that 1 refused to abjure
my nationality one year since, when re
quired by ibis Government to do so, or
to abandon the business I was then en
gaged in; dint I succoured so far ns I was
able, those of my countrymen who were
captives here; and that in the court I had
the independent spirit (they culled it au
dacity) to reply upon my innocence at;d
inv rights as nn American citizen.
Having been denied justice, I now ark
at the hands of the American Govern
ment and the American people that liber
ty of which I am so iniqttitously deprived.
All die honors of the Spanish galleys are
before me, and my only hopes are in the
sympathies of my countrymen, and the
prompt action of our National Govern,
ment. J. S. THRASHER.
How to get Sleep.
How to gel sleep is to many persnusa
matter of great importance. Nervous
persons, who are troubled with wakeful
ness and excitability have a strong ten
dency of blond on the brain w ith cold ex
tremities. The pressure of die blood on
die brain keeps it in a stimulated or wake
ful slate, and die pulsations in the head
are often painful. Let such rise and
chafe (lie body nnd extremities with a
brush or towel, or rub smartly with the
hands, In promote circulation, and with
draw die excessive amount of blood from
the brain, and they will fall asleep in a
feiv moments. A cold bath, ora sponge
bath and tubbing, or n good run, or a
rapid walk ill the open nir, or going up
or down stairs a few limes just before re
tiring will act in equalizing circulation,
and prompting sleep. Those rules are
simple and easy of application in castle
orctibin, and may minister to the comfort
of thousands who would freely expend
money for nn anodyne to promote “Na
ture’s s..cet itsturer, balmy sleep.”
