Use. the proper Means. t you wish to
be successful in any undertaking, you
must always "use the proper means."
Therefore, if; you have a Cough, use
Jayne's Expectorant and be cured, for it
is the proper means. Have you Asthma
or Difficulty of Breathing, then the only
efficient means to cure yon is to use Jayne's
Expectorant, which will immediately over
come the spasm which contracts the diam
eter of the wind tubes, and loosens and
brings up the mucus which clogs them up,
and thus, removes every obstruction to a
free respiration, while at the same time all
inflammation is subdued, and a cure is cer
tain to be effected. Have you Bronchitis,
Spitting of Blood, Pleurisy, or in fact any
Pulnvmary Jiffection, then use Jayne's
lulm'maryAJJection,
Expectorant and rel.ei is certain and you
will find that vou have used the proper
means.

We refer our readers, with nride and

On' Thursday evening the' 'Convention
was addressed by the Hon. Samuel Hous

President introduced him as the "laurel

greeted with enthusiastic applause. Gen.

It will be observed,. on reference to the
Proceedings, that the Hon. Weldon N.

What is to be the future destiny of this
extraordinary man, is beyond the ken of
our sagacity! to jDredict; but certain it is,
that the whigscan no longer make anT cap

Mexico. We have even cause to rejoice
at the opportunity which he has enjoyed.
ThesebraggJng Mexicans cannot now say,
