Jayne's Expectorant
This medicine has already proved itself
to be all that it has been recommended; by
those who have given it a fair test in this
country, and the demand for it increases
daily. We have just heard of an impor
tant cure of Asthma, which has, been effect:
ed by the use of it, in a neighboring town
-the case was that of a female who had
for a long time been under the care of a
physician but had received no " relief, and
her mf w:is rnnsiilftrcd honeless. As a
"w ,.. V : J
last resort she purchased a bottle of Dr.
Jayne's Expectorant, which caused her to
expectorate freely, gradually ceased her
cough, and is rapidly restoring her to
health. We have no h'esitatfon in saying
that this preparation of Dr. Jayne for cure
of coughs, colds, influenza, asthma, con-
to the Chair, and L. Johnson appointed
Secretary. On motion, a Committee of
five was appointed by the Chairman to
draft Resolulions for the action of the
meeting; whereupon the Chairman appoint
ed the following persons: Col. Noah
Peal, J. S. Yarrell, Benj. C. Mayo, Dr.
Sam'l. C. Benjamin, and Col. Asa Biggs,
who, after retiring for a short time, re
turned and submitted the following Pre
amble and Resolutions, which were unan
imously adopted: -

highly important, and demand of all Dem
ocratic Republicans a surrender of person

tides of ther treaty as adopted:4 '' 1 ;
Article first appointed . Senors Cuevas,

the" part of the Mexican Government to
adjbst terms ott a lasting treaty of peace
between the United States ..of the North,
and the United Mexican States, with Nich
olas P. Trist, Commissioner of the U.
states, &c. , , ;; ,
Article second stipulates that there shall
be an immediate suspensjon, of hostilities
between 'thearmieiiqif Itheltwo RepublicsV
within four months after its ratification. I
The boundary of New Mexico is to be
defined as laid down in Disturnell'sAmap
of Mexico, published c at Newi York in
Several unimportant articles are omitted.
The articles providing for the confirma
tion of the grants given by Mhen ;exican
government Tin Texas and ( California, lare
stricken out, and the unimportant.provis-
ion to extend the jurisdiction of the 'M ex
ican church over the Catholic clergy in the
ceded territory, is also stricken L out.
These are the principal modifications.
It will be recollected that the treaty. in
dicates two modes of paying the indemntT
y agreed f upon one bytthe issue of six
per cent stocks, or by instalments. The
latter mode, has been adopted. The three
millions subject to Mr. Trist'a order?sare
to ; be 1 paid immediately, upon - the. ratifica
tion of the treaty by the Mexicangovern:
