Use the proper Means. If you wish to
be successful in any undertaking, you
roust 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 you is to use Jay ne'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. Haver you Bronchitis,
Spitting of Blood, Pleurisy, or in fact any
Pulmonary Affection, then use Jay ne's
Expectorant and relief is certain, and you
will find that you have used the proper
means.

lhat4heUAmerican-continents, by the free
and independent condition which they
have .assumed and rriaiptained, are hence
forth not to be considefed as "subjects for
future colonization by any European pow
er." ''This principle j will apply with
greatly increased force, should any Europe

colony in North America. In the exist
ing circumstances of the(worid, the present
is deemed a proper occasion to reiterate
areaffirm the principle avowed by Mr.
Monroe, and to stite my cordial concur
rence in its wisdom"' and' sound poliey.
The reasscrtion of this principle, especial
ly in reference to North, America, ia at this
day but the promulgation of a policy which
no European power should cherish the
disposition to resist. Existing rights of
every European nation should be respected;
but it is due alike to our safety and our in
terests, that the efficient protection of our
laws should be extended over our whole
territorial limits, and that it should be dis-
! linctly announced to the world, as our set
tled policy, that no future European colony

The lstor Estate. Wre learn from ve
ry good authority, that the value of the es
tate of the late John Jacob Astor. does not
exceed $7,500,000, of which about $4,
000,000 is real, and $3,500,000 personal.
The real is given in thefortn of life estates,
wiih power of letting and selling. Mr.
Wm. B. Astor has half the residuary per
sonal estate, in his own right, say $ 1,000,
000 to $1,500,000. He is said to have re
ceived $700,000 several years since from
an uncle, Henry Astor, which, by good
management and economy, with additions
ing cards with the deceased. A dispute
occurred, during which Mr. Gibbons call
ed for his piols. Black then went out
into the piazza of the building, and ; chal
lenged Gibbons to follow him. He did
so, and immediately afterwards a shot was
heard, and Gibbons was found alone with a
bullet wound through his right side. He
lived but a few minutes, and the only per
son who declares he saw the act commit
ted, was Mr. Watson, a resident of tho
place. What complicates the matter more
is that .Watson charges Black with .tho
murder, yet he declares he is his own son,.
He gives us the reason for the. false namo
that a reward is offered in Jackson county,
West Floridafor the apprehension of his
son for breaking jail, and that he has con
sequently assumed an alias.
. It happened, at the time, that there were,
two parties in Newnansville, both in pur-

had been robbed, and in one, a murder had.
been committed. ' Circumstantial evidence

Mysterious ' Murder. Jacksonville,
(Fa.) April 15, 1848. Wm. Gibbons,
Sheriff of Alluchua county, Florida, has
been murdered. The circumstances are as
follows: An individual who gave his
name as Black, with a companion, had ar
rived'in Newnansville a few days before
the murder occurred, and on the evening
of the 4th inst. had been engaged in play-
Grey, on the part of the government, and
entitled a bill "for the greater security of
the Crown and government," Mr. O'Brien
was received with the loudest and most '
disorderly marks of disapprobation, which
continued throughout his speech; and when
he referred to the charge of treason which
had been hurled against him, he was salut
ed with ironical ard derisive cheers from
all parts of the House. The reply to his
remarks by Sir George Grey was tumult
ously applauded from beginning to end,
and the measure of the government was
carried on its second reading by the un
precedented majority of 417, only 35 vot
ing against it. . It is to be hoped, for the
credit of English intelligence and liberality,
that these demonstrations indicate less a
disposition to prevent reforms, than a con
viction that the great and numerous reforms
so imperatively heeded in Great Britain,
and so earnestly demanded by the working
classes, can be secured by means less tu
multuous than those of the Chartist! eeerr)
