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.

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. | PREPARED AND SOID BY JAMES C. AYER.

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!

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.” NO 35.
