The call for ten days past has completely astonished me. The" HAIR TONIO is doing wonders here: a gen tleman wibse head- Has been,bald for 5 or 20 years, has his hair nearly half an inch long, and has only used one bottle. My wife began to use the HAIR TONIC shortly after I received it, to prevent her hair from , falling off, and only used it twice a week. It not only stopped her hair from falling off, hut has produced new hair three inches long by the use of three bottles..- Every oneispleasod with it that has used it. Yours, 7 T. C. BUTLER.

JAYNE Dear Sir: It is said by .Physicians, and is by the mass of man kind believed, that Consumption cannot be cured that when once it becomes seat ed in the human system, noihing can erad icate or stay its progress, but that it will continue the work of destruction until its victim sinks into the grave. However true tbis may be in theory, I am disposed to doubt it in fact; indeed, my own experience, and a desire to benefit others, compels me to pronounce the as sertion untrue. You will probably "recol lect, sir, that in the beginning of IS40 1 wrote to you, stating that I Tiad the Con sumption, and that it was fast hurrying me to the grave. 1 did not tnen, nortio I now doubt, every symptom was too pain fully visible My Physicians considered me incurable, but the advice which I ak ed of you was given, and 1 am happy to say that by using a few bottles of your in comparable medicine -the EXPECTOR AN T, I was restored, and never in my life have 1 enioyed better or more unin- terruntftd health than since that time.

SAM. HOUSTON. Chairman. Richard Bro'fhpad, Secretary. The Toast of the Brave General Shields. At the great celebration of the Stli ot JanuarVi in Washineton, the fol lowing toast was proposed by the heroic General Shields: The union rf the Xorthern and South cm Democracy. Tt.ey united in shd ing their blood together in battle; only let them be united in maintaining the integti ty and glory of our free ins'itotions, and the Democratic parly will always be tri umphant. At a time when Faction seeks to strike Idown the glorious ensign of the Union, such a sentiment is full of irresistable pow er. It speaks to the hearts of the people. It shows at a glance, how much we should lose by perilling the Union, and how much we should suffer in maintaining it. Why, then, should not the Democrats, North and South, unite for the common cause? There is no strife between us. If there had been, it would have been washed out by the precious blood which flowediin the valley i of. r Mexico, where -the three great States alluded to by. General Shields, unjted an4 perilled all to isave the honor of the nation. That was a great and glorious sacrifice which gave soimuch of their best blood for the sake of ;the country. Is ' iti not,-therefore, an :easy thing for us to bear, and for bear .a little in our -own way, and: tu the more' peaceful ? walks of life, for? the same glorious cause? i Why. shall-we; endanger by quarrels in Congress, arid Jn the press, what thousands would give their lives to save?;! Let the sentiment j of ,the; brave Shields be our motto, and all will be well. - n Penhsylvanian. i'i' From the Petersburg ' Republican J Order of ihe DayTte politi . : a?; ..:,; r wormisai J - most mierest.ngpu.c.v ? . . birth-the measures necessary f9l; prose-; the State! var--it causes, progress, ana .cunsetjuw ne theif in-' cesthe VYilmot Proyiso;uh the who,: le it to series ot resolutions io inu. n ua? cu 1 1 hg; the war with vigor the pbl icy of a defensive linethe extent of territorial in- demnity 4 which wcf ought to clairn the propriety of throwing before the country, in the midst oaloreignvwar the instruc tions which have been given by the Presi dent for accomplishing a treaty of peace: tjise, and a variety" ofother questionsare filling the public mind and addressing Ihe pubjicear. But the great lion'of the day appears, to be the presidential question. Who is the favorite candidate of the Whigs? WUI" Mr.' Clay abandon the course to General Taylor?

We do not, of course, profess to see be- ninu me wnig curtains, we uo not pre- tend toknow what they mearilo do, and probably they do not yet know themselves.
