AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral for the Cure of
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchitis,
Whooping-Cough, Croup, Ashthma and
Consumption.
Among tile numerous discoveries Science ha made in
this generation to facilitate tile business of life—increase
its enjoyment, and even prolong the term ofliunutn ex
istence, none can be named of more real value to man
kind, than this contribution of Chemistry to the Healing
A't. A vast trial of its virtues throughout this broad
country, has proven beyond a doubt, that no medicine
or combination of medicines known, can so surely con
trol and cure the numerous varieties of pulmonary dis
ease which have hitherto swept from our midst thou
sand* and thousands every year. Indeed, there is now
abundant reason to believe a Remedy has at length been
found which tan be relied on to cure the most danger
ous affections of the lungs. Our spare here will not
Krmit us to publish any proportion of the cures affected
its use. but we would present the following opinions
of eminent men. and refer further enouiry to the circular
which the Agent below named, wilt always be plea
sed to furnish free, wherein are full particulars and in
dispulable proof of those facts.

OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS.
From Major Jack Dawning.
[We were really rejoiced yesterday lo
receive the subjoined Idler from oor old
friend and favorite, .Major Downing,
who, from his long silence, we begun to
fear had gone lo that bourne to which lie
seenis-D apprehend we must ourselves
have departed- We hope now to hear
from him more frequently —Editors
Nat. Intel.
Downingville,
Down East in the State of Maine.
November 10. 1851
Mr. Gales k Seaton: My de.tr old
friends, if you are yet in the land of the
livin, I long to have a talk with you
about the affairs of tlte nation. And if
you niui in the laud of the livin, but have
dropped tiff since I’ve been away to the
gold digg’ins of Cnliforny, if you'll con*
tsive to Id me know it, I’d go to one ol
the * sperril rappers’ (cousin Nabby
knows one of ’em) and try to have a chut
with you that way. And my old friend
Mr. Ritchie too, I want to have a chat
along with him. Hut I don’t know
where to Hod him, for Uncle Joshua tel's
me he isn’t in the Washington Union pa
per now, and they’ve ‘ Tarried him back
to Old Viiginny.”—Now that’s very
baeft It’s treason- agin lire Government.
Hunt -can the country gel along through
a Presidential campaign without Mr.
Kin hie-? They never have done it, and
it cant be done: it’s impossible. I doitt
know who they ’ve in his place in the
Union, nor 1 donl care; hot I know
they never find one that can flight agin
the Federalists like Mr. Richie. How
many times lie’s saved the country from
bein eat up by Federalists ; what’s very
remarkable, lie could flglit agin them lor
years and years after they was all dead,
j |esi as well a* when they was alive.—
j Tiler’s to be a great battle for the next
President, and we cant get along with
out Mr. Ritchie. He ought not to a
gone off so; he owed his services lo the
country, and he ought lo be ketched and
brought back lo Washington under the
“ fugitive slave law.” That law is car
ritdoul every where here lo the Norih,
and we expect it to be carried out lo the
South. VVhat is sass fur goose is sassfor
gandor. If the South wants lo keep the
Nordi in the Union, she must give some
good strong proof that site is willing to
carry oul die lugitve slave law. And
she couldn't doit any heller than to ki It It
Mr. Ritchie and Carry him hark to
Washington, and she! hint up in the £’.
ion paper office, and tie him down in die
editorial chair, and put a ream of paper
before him and a pen in bis band, arid
set liiiii to writing about the next Presi
dency. Then die dark fog that now
bangs over the whole country would be’
gin to be blowed away, and parties
could begin to see where they are again ;
and knots and the snarls of politics would
begin to be unraveled, so that we could
all tell where to lake hold and pull with
a fair chance of doing some good.—
Then we might stand a good chance to
get a President next year. Bn as
things now go the chance looks slim
enough.
Times isn’t now as they used to be,
when we hadn't only two parties, and
every body could tell who lie was figlttin
agios). Then a single blast front Major
Russell to the old Boston Centiuel would
call but all the Federalists in the country,
and make ’em draw op in a straight line;
and then another blast Irnm Mr. Ritchie
in the Richmond F.tiquirer would call out
all the Republicans into another line—
and then the two parties had a clear field
before ’em, and marched op face to face
and had a fair fight. But things isn’t s<>
now-u-days. 1 here’s more parties now
than you can shake a stick at. And
they lace in all manner of ways, so that
when you ate figltitu for one party, it
would putsle a Philadelphia lawyer to
tell what parlies yon are fighting agonist,
or to tell who is whipi when the butle's
over. 1 didn’t know things was in quite
so bad n snarl till I got limue ’toll** r .lay
from Californy. and sot down and bad a
long lalk with Unde Jgsltua, who told
me all about it. Uncle Joshua is getting
old, bill lie bolds his age r. makablv will;
I think equal to Mr. Ritchie; / clout see
but lie keeps the run of politics as well as
he used to.
Says I, ‘ Uncle Joshua, what’s the
prospects about the Presidency ?’
4 Well,'say, he, .Major,’—lie always
calls me Major—says he, 4 Major, there
I aitrt no prospect at all.’
‘ How so,’ says I; ‘ Imw can you make
lliat out?’
‘Well,’ says he, ‘there’ so many par
ties now, and they are all/so mixed op,
higgledy-piggledy, that ®,ou cant ste
tlirogh ’em with ihe longest spy-glass
that ever was made. That’s wby there
aim on prospect at all.’
‘Well, now, uncle Joshua,’ s <ys I, ‘jest
name over all these parlies, so I can be
gin to have some idea of them.’
* Well, lavs lie, ‘we'll begin first
south-'ide ol Mason and Dixon’s line.—
There’s the old Whig parly, and the old
Democratic pariy, and the party ol Un
ion Whig*, and the pariy of Secession
Whigs, and the parly of Union Demo
crats, and the party of (lie Secession
Democrats, and ihe party of absolute,
unqualified Secessionist*, and the party
of co-operation Secessionits. And then
if we come to the north side of Mason
and Dixon's line, we find ‘he regular
Whig patty, and the regular Democratic
party, and the Union Dcmm tuts, and the
Silver-gray Whigs, and the woolly-head’
Whigs and the hunker Democrats, and
ihe Burn.-burncr Democrat*, and the
Sew.irtl party, and the Union Sniety
Committee party, and tlte r polar Freer
Site parly, and the regular Voie-your
sell-a-Farni party.’
Here unde Joshua paused a little, and
Aunt Kttiah laid down Iter nittin-work,
and looked over her spectacles, anil says
site to me. ‘ Yettr unde Joshua must
have a wonderful memory to keep all
them haul names in his mind ; lor my
part, I (loot see Imw the hell he does it’
Then cousin Nabby she clapped her
hands and laughed, uud says she, , Now
cousin Jack which parly do you belong
to.’
Says I,‘l’ll he hanged if I know. If
die Old Gineral was alive —I mean Old
Hickory
he which ’twould; for then I should
know I was going for the country. The
Old Gineral was always ready to fight
for tiie country against Bank mons'crs,
and Nullification monsters, and all sorts
of monsters.’
* Well, now,’ says Unde Joshua, ‘how
do y ou suppose we are going to work to
make a President, with all lines-- parties
in the field, fighiin cross-handed, mill
c.iily-cOrners, and e ery which way?’
‘ I’m sure I cant see,’ says J, ‘ unless
we can gel up a party that will surround
the whole of ‘em. as the hi h corporal
surrounded the half-dozen soldiers that
In took prisoners ’
• What do you think of Mr. Calhoun’s
plan,’ said Unde Joshua, Mhal’s laid
down ill his works jest published ?’
‘What’s that,’says I, T don’t think
I've heard of it.’
•Well,’ says he. ‘he recommends to
cliooce two Presidents, one f,r the North
uud one for the Sooth, each side of Ma
son and Dixon’- line; and no lav of
Ct tigress to become a law till it is signed
by both Presidents. How you iliiuk dial
would work ?’
‘Well, 1 guess,’ says 1, ‘lf the country
depended upon laws to live on, it would
starve to death as rare as the us between
the two bundles of hay.’
At that cousin Nabby spoke and says
she, ‘Mure like the country would be like
a bundle of bay between two asses, and
would get eat pretty quit k.’
Uncle Joshua couldn’t help smiling,
hut lie looked round as sober ns lie could
and says he, come, Nabby, you
liusli up ; tsbat do you know about poli
tic* ?’
“ Well, now,” snys I, “ let us look at
this plan of Mr. Calhoun's h little and
see what it amounts 10. His notion was,
that there was two parlies, one North
and one South of Mason and Dixon’s
line, and that under one President they
never could agree, but would always be
quurreliini; and figlilin and crowding ;
but if each party run Id clumse a Presi
()• lit, then ihdv would gel along smooth
and quiet, and live a spciieeahie ns lambs.
Now, if.lbe doctrine is good for two par
ties, it is good for twenty. So. il Mr.
Calhuun was right, the best way would
be to let the twenty parties, that are now
qunrrelliug like rats and dogs, go in
work and each party choose a Pm sideni
for itself. Then w iial a happy, peacea
ble time we should have of it.”
“ Well, you’ve fairly phi it into the
ground now,” says uncle Joshua, “ anti
I guess we may as well let il stick there.
I'm more troubled afoul electing one
President than I am two or twenty ; and
I should like to gel your idea Imw it can
be done. * / know Gineial Jackson used
| TERMS: $2 in Advance.
to think a great deal of y our opinion, and
may be you can contrive seme plan to
get us all out of this burly burly that we
esn make a President next year when
the time comes round.”
“ Well,” says I, ‘‘ Uncle Joshua, ac
cording to what you say about tlte part
ies nowsa-days, all split up into flinders,
and crossgrained every wa_v, 1 dont think
there’s much chance for any *l ‘em to
elect a President, esp* chilly if Mr. Kitdi
ie dont help. Bui, for all that, I think
the thing can he done, and I think ihere’s
two w ays of doing it. One way is, lo
gel up anew- party that shall surround all
other patties—l mean a real constitution
al party, en out and out national party,
a parly that will stand up to the rat It,
fodder or no fodder, and go for the Un
ion, the w hole Union and nothing but die
Union, live or die. This party would
have to he made up out of the twenty
parties you named, so 1 guess we might
as well call it the parly ol ‘ Nuliotidl
Come oulei s.’
•The ’lotlier way would be, to get up
a sort of levoliitioii-annexxtion-manifest
distiny-glory party, and have a great
banner painted, wiih Cuba on one end
and Canada on ’lotlier, anil what there is
left of Mexico in the middle ; anil get up
a great torch-light procession from one
end of the country to the other, and hire
Kossinh win n lie gets over here to make
stump speed es lor our candidate through
all tlte Stales. If we didn’t elect him,
I’de go into retirary and settle on the
banks of Salt River lor life.’-
‘Well, Major,’says unde Jofltun,‘l
think a good deal of your notions, nnd
I wifhyou wunld think tlte matter over,
and draw up some plan for us to go by,
for it’s high time we was doing some*
thing.’
So, Mr Gales Seaton, I remain
your old ftieinl,
