Still more proof. Darlington, Beaver Co., Pa.. Feb. 18, 1839. Dr. D. Jayne. Dear SiK My little son, when about two months old, wasseiz- ed with a bftwel complaint. It continued for two weeks without intermission, and notwithsiading the remedies prescribed fcy a respectable Physician, we gave up the child a victim, as we supposed, to a fatal disease. But I providentially heard of "Jayne's Carminative," as an effectual cure for bowel complaint, and immediately despatched a messenger to a town seven-: teen miles off for a bottle. By the use of this medicine, in less than thirty -six hours j the disease was checked, and by its constant use for a few days, the child was restored! to perfect health. Shortly after this, there occurred a similar case in one oi the fami- lies of my congregations. I prescribed ;Jayne's Carminative," and the result was a speedy cure. The same child, owing to exposure, when recently coming up the Ohio, was attacked by that horrible malady the Croup. We landed in the night at Beav er Point, and when our fears were alarmed lest the hoarse sepulchral cough was the forerunner of death, ve gave him a tea spoonful of your Expectorant, and appli ed some liniment to the throat and breast; and before many minutes the hoarseness was gone, the child breathed freely and slept sweetly. Owing to thjese circum stances it cannot be wondered at why I have so high an opinion of your medicines, and why I advise every family to keep them on hand, ready for any emergency.

Resolved, That the Administration, in using every exertion, by persuasion and by sending to Mexico a Minister to settle by peaceful negotiation all matters in dis- pute, exhibited the American character in its true licht: and that it is equally a part of that character, when forced to ulterior measures, never to sheathe the sword un til all the objects for which it has been drawn have been secured; and regarding the Treaty (so far as we understand the terms thereof) lately approved by the Pres ident and sanctioned by the Senate, as honorable to this nation and just to a pros trate and conquered foe, we tender our thanks to those who with such singular skill devised the conduct of hostilities, as well as to those gallant officers and soldiers who so promptly executed the mandates of the civil authority. . r 2.

Resolved, That the Independent Treasury, the Taiiff of 1846, and other .measures of domestic policy advocated by the Democratic party, have been so emi nently successful that many ofthe candid as well as the cunning among the opposi tion, pretend to be ready to abandon what they call old issues, and now deiy us to J . . .. 7 - .

Resolved, That the Preamble to the Resolution passed by the Whig party at the last session ot our Legislature, appro- priating money tathe North Carolina Reg- iment, and in which the President of the United States is charged with having in volved the Republic in the existing war with Mexico, is false, and totally unfounded in fact; that this Preamble, emanating as it did from a sovereign Staie of this Confed- eracy, was calculated by it very nature to give aid and encouragement to the public foe, and to depress the spirits of our brave volunteers; and that the authors of that tm v Ia I ti n ml f dnra .

Volunteers and just and proper in itself; and that the -Governor of the State in ap- pointing men to command the Regiment who had just voted in the Legislature thatjhis acceptance, to w;: Mr.' Person of the war was unconstitutional, unnecessary, and unjust, acted in a manner unbecoming his position, and displayed the spririt of a bitter and determined partizan. ... a 8.
