In a letter from an Officer of the Army, published j

these two Officers of the Army, one a native of Kin

" Capt. Gatlin Wf s on the left w ith Cap. Miles ;
he got into the hottest sort of work, and for his

"Our Whig brethren of the South and West win

The Late Whig Victories Mr. Haywood.
If there is a man in the Union, who, in his
heart of hearts, rejoices over the crushing defeats
lately sustained by the Lien Foco Party it is
Mr. Senator Haywood. He knew the character
ol the "Experimental Tariff" he knew what
would be the effect of its enactment tp ihe parly
to which he belonged he warned ihem to pause
and reflect, and finally resigned his seat ralher
vote for a Bill to obnoxious to himself, and which
he deemed so impolitic for his Party.
For this, obloquy and abuse were heaped upon
him mountain high his inoiives were impeached
and his conduct denounced with almost unparal
leled ferocity. lJut, now, what is the aspect of
affairs? Mr. Haywood's policy and foresight
stand vindicated before the Country, and full
many a Loco who voted for the " British Bill."
and who joined in ihe hunt, who only lacked the
ability, to pursue Mr. Haywood to the death,
would give their eye-teeth, if they had heeded
his warning voice and slopped short of the mea
sure, which will prove to be a null-stone around
the neck of Locoisin.
Mr. Haywood has had his d ys of bi'ternesi
and mortification fie has now his days of tri
umph and exultation. ,He met with no pity and
no sympathy from fiTS to whom he had a right
to make the almrtesl appeals, and he can now
" mock when their fear coineth." Pet. lntcU.

qualities which they cursed linn so much for.

RUM AND POLITICS.
Ma. Giles : .We see in the last "New York Or-,
pan," an Adress to the Electors of the City, issued
just before the late Election for Members of the
Legislature, by a Committee of the prints of free
trade, alius, theadvocates for Rum selling. It seems
there were 10 Whig candidates, with their names in
one column ; 15 Democrats in, another column, and
16 Native Americana in fcihlrd column. The four
first on the Whig lis; were recommended as friends
of the Roniies, the other 13 Whlgs,were marked as
unworthy of their suffrage. Every one of the 18
Democrats, were recommended, with the first four
Whigs, as favorable to the Rum cause! und every
one of the 1 Native Citkens, were proscribed as
being opposed to Hum, or of doubtful friendship for
it ! Who, sir, do you think, thus joined Rum" and
Politics together? CATO. .
ABOLITIONISM ON THE DECLINE.
There is no more gratifying fact, says the " Rich
mond' Republican," connected with the late elections
than the triumphant manner in which, in Massachu
setts, they exculpato the Whigs from the charge of
coalition with the Abolitionists, and, in the Empire
State, show a sound and healthful state of public
sentiment iu regard to the extension of suffrage to
the black population.

V 41 BE WISE. ; SV't ;
: No time meat be lost in the use of foolish reme
dies, such as bleeding or mercury, for they both only
put Off tho evil iy to awake H ore"ftaL Even In
inflammatory disease, bleeding might never to be re
torted to, for in nine coses out af ten it will take a
vny the iower of nature to effect a eure, even when
aided by Brandreth's Pills. They can take out the
impurities from the blood, but alas ! they cannot put
near blood into the body, this requires time, but the
can regenerate old blood, but the old blood must be
there, it Is at all timus easier to eradicate mercury
from the system and restore the mercurialized beitig
to full health, flan it is to affect the restoration of
the man who has reeatedly been bled. Bleeding
and the effects of opium are the greatest antagonists
the Brandreth's Pills have, to contend against. Let
us us therefore be w ise, and when sickness assails
us, abstract the disease out of the blood, not the blood
out cf the blood which the bleeding does.
, Now, Brandreth's Pills not only purifies the blood,
but they lessen the quantity, and at the same time
they make the quality better. They only take the
wcrn our parte from the blood, those which, if re
tained would be "a source of disease. The good ef
fects which are derived from Brandreth's Pills have
to be felt to be believed. The seeds of dceov can be
constantly eradicated by their use, nnd the Principle
of Life The Blood strengthened. Thus protract
ing vigor of body and mind to. a period when we
have been accustomed to tee the faltering step and
the enfeebled intellect.
O" These Pills are for sale, at twen'y.fivs cents
per box, by an Agent in every town iu the Stale, and
