the greatest cures ever made in Baltimore:
Baltimore, Monday, Sept. 2;.
To Dr. J. H .Schenck?Sir: This is to certify that my
wife, Ann Bailey, bad a severe attack of Bilious Pleurisy
In the winter of'1812; after being relieved of that she com?
plained of a paiu in her br"a?t nnd side, attended with a se?
vere cough and tightness In her chest 1 had the advice ol
the l)cst physicians in the city, but none of them could give
bei any relief; they all pronounced her case incuruhle. 1
then got six bottles of Swaim's Panacea, but she could get
no relief; her cough still Increased. She tried everything
that was recommended through the papers for Consump?
tion, but could get no relief ; her cough got so severe at
times she would have to sit down in tie'street, and when
walking i-he would frequently get in a kind of stupor and
full prostrate on the floor; u palpitation ol the hea'i and
pain In the loins, with u dizziness in die head, would follow.
I then gave up all hopes of her ever '.icing cured, and look?

Beware of lFalM'UooiU:
Several of the Seymour journals in the in?
terior of the State are repeating the exposed
falsehood that the Editor of The Tribune
opposed the hill submitted to Congress hy
Washington Hunt for the relief of the
Famishing People of Ireland in 1847. Our
columns give the lie to that story, most em?
phatically. When first asked to sign a
petition for a grant of Five Millions of Dol?
lars from the Treasury, we declined to do
it: but Mr. Hunt's bill had our earnest
wishes and our eflbrts in aid of its passage.
The same journals charge us with sending
an aiient into the interior to electioneer for
Washington Hunt among our Irish-born
citizens on the strength of his Speech and
Bill. That is entirely fulse again : we
liuvc sent no one tmt to electioneer any?
where, and had no part in sending one.
?What is the excuse for all these fabri?
cations } We have personally assailed no
candidate on the adverse ticket?no sup?
porter of ihat ticket. No individual op?
posed tous has been assailed because of our
Political differences. Why, then, this re?
sort to abusive personalities ? Shall those
who do it be permitted to profit thereby ?
Blow Signature were Obtained.
The following is one instance among
many of the sort showing how signatures
to the call for the great ? Peace' Meeting
were canvassed for :
Mr. Becker, a trunk-seller in Iiis store: Enter
Mr Bland, a dry goods jobber :
Mr. Bland. Good morning, Mr. Becker! \Vil|
you just give us your name to the call for the
?Union' meeting, to sustain the Constitution ami
laws, and put down Ami .Slavery agitation '
Mr. Bteker. I should want to think a while
lirst. On the whole, 1 don't see any need of such
a meeting, nnd 1 guess 1 went sign.
Mr. Bland. You do, ch .' Well, Sir! / hare
orders lo Jill fur trunks sometimes, and I "ucss I
shall look fur them elsewhere hereafter.
Mr. Becker. Of course, Mr. Bland! If you
suppose you buy wie in buying my trunks, I trust
you will be sure to patronise somebody else in
future. [Exit Bland, huffy.]
Such was the purport ol u conversation
\\ hich actually took place. We have
changed the names, ami the article dealt in
by Becker, but nothing essential.
'I'm Views of tiik President.?Those who
profess to speak for President Pilimore have
not hesitated to say that he would rather see
Loco-Focos elected to Congress than such Whigs
us these persons choose to call " Abolitionists."
These alleged expressions of his views, wer.'
brought to his knowledge on Monday last. In
reply Mr. Pilimore authorized a gentleman to sayi
" that so Far from having said any such thiti?, he
had no secret wish that such should be the result
ami that he had uniformly expressed his opinion,
freely and strongly, in favor of the election of
every Whig Nominee.'
This, we have no doubt is true ; and it is to be
hoped that those who really wish to consult the
views of the President w?l give a zealous sup?
port to ail Whig Nominees. [Alb. Eve. Jour.

are said to be opposed to him. The latter have

WASHINGTON HUNT.
And the " Bill for tin- Relief of Ireland."
The Opposition papers are just now discussing
the Irish Relief Bill, introduced into Congress by
Washington Hi nt, in February, 1S17. Some ol
them are trying to make it appear that Mr. Hunt
had no part in getting up that bill. Others are try.
1 ????nrtl,-,! if wnc niienr.?tit II tiollll
mgtoniakc it appear that it was unconstitutional.
Under these circumstances 1 have thought it ray

what I say. I believe, too. that the cond
Hunt meets the warm approval, not oi
Naturalized citizens, but of the great ro
would have rejoiced to sec so great a m
Immediately after the large raeetin
Washington to sympathise with and devise means
for the relief of the suffering people of Ireland, at
which Vice President Dallas presided, and at which
ury.
i in
of
ade
he
Mr. Webster ami other benators a
the House of Representatives appe
speeches, Washington Hunt propo
nevolence of his heart, that something should be
done beside empty talk for the relief of Ireland.
He had heard hollow-hearted demagogues speak
by the hour, before election days, to prove then
love for Ireland: hut here the people of Ireland
were dying by thousands, and Washington Hunt
thought acts were better than words. He accord?
ingly drew upland offered his bill. Of the course
of that bill in Congress 1 will speak as I find it
reported in the Congressional Globe, which is
published by parties always in opposition to the
Whigs?Blair and Rives, Editors and organs for
Andrew Jackson. It is the Congressional Globe
of the Second Session of the Twi
gress, and mi
brary, where
casilv found ;
public li
e can be
il and proved by record.
I choose to take this as my reference though I
remember the facts too vividly ever to torget them.
I watched every movement, and neglected mj
own business to plead both with Whigs and
Loco-Focos. to pass the bill, that the world might
rise up and bless the nation doing such a deed.
February 9, 1817, Washington Hunt in the
House of Representatives, '-guve notice that he
would ask leave, at a future day. to introduce a
bill for the relief of Ireland." [Congressional
Globe, page 36C]
February 10, the next day, " Mr. VV. Hunt. 60
leave given, and in pursuance of previous notice,
introduced a bill for the relief of Ireland." The
bill appropriated the sum ofJivehuwired thousand
dollars. It wa.s read twice and referred to the
Committee of the Whole ami ordered to he print?
ed. [Page 377.]
In the Committee of the Whole the hill slept
the sleep of death. Again and again Mr. Hunt
appealed to the House to take it up and give a
vote on it; but all in vain. The House had a
Loco-Foco majority of 60 or 70. and refused to let
the bill be taken up.
February 20', we find the following record:
"Mr. Washington Hunt made a strong effort to
get up bis bill for the relief of Ireland, but the
House refused.'' \ Congressional Globe, page 511.]
That for two weeks almost even,-day Wash?
ington Hunt plead with that Loco-Foco House
to let the .bill come up ; but to no purpose. The
hopes of the friends of Ireland in this quarter
were crushed, so they turned their attention to the
Senate, where it is esier to get any subject taken
up limn in the House.
Accordingly, on the 24th day of February, just
one fortnight after Mr. Hunt had offered it in the
House, Mr. Crittendcn, then a Senator from Ken?
tucky, and now Mr. Fillmore's Attorney-General,
I qnve notice thai he would submit to the Senate n
bill similar to that of Mr. Hunt in the House ?
Congressional ('lobe, page -191.
February 2G. Mr. Critteuden introduced his hill
into the Senate, and made an eloquent speech
showing that this bili was almost word for word
with the one passed in 1812 for the relief of the
people of Venezuela, suffering from the effects of
an earthquake, which was signed by Madison,
then President of the I 'nitod States, who had been
the leading man in framing the Constitution of the
United Stales, and should surely have understood
what was. or what was not constitutional. This
Venezuelan bill was voted for by John C. Cal?
horn). Richard M. Johnson, John Randolph, and
others, then members of the House, and passed
the Senate without opposition (yet the Loco Foco
presses now say that it was unconstitutional!]
It was approved by .Madison, May 8th, 1812. Mr.
Crittendcn urged that a common brotherhood
with the people of Ireland made il more tit that
we should relieve the people of Ireland than the
people of Venezuela. He argued that it was con
stilutioual. To argue that it was not, ?xci aimed
he, " would be to suppose that the Constitution
was set up in opposition to the spirit of our re.
ligion, and to repeal that high law of Heaven?the
law of the Eing of Kings."
Mr. John M. Clayton, then a Senator from Dela?
ware, and recently Gen. Taylor's Secretary or
State, sustained the bill, and moved that it be read
the third time, ami passed the same dav. He read
the resolutions of his State, calling upon govern?
ment to puss such a bill as that proposed. He
also showed that no objections were made in vot?
ing presents to La Fayette. though it was just as
unconstitutional to vote them to him as to Ireland.
Mr. Cass, of Michigan, followed in a speech in
its favor. This speech was published in all the
Loco-Foco papers when Cass was running for
President. Now these same Cass papers sav
that it was unconstitutional. They praised him
then for doing what they now declare a violation
of the Constitution !!
Mr. Bagby, a Loco-Foco Senator from Alabama,
objected to Mr. Clayton's proposition to have it
read a third time that day, so it was shoved aside
for another day.
The next day, Feb. 27, was Saturday, and Con'
gress was to adjourn, as their term expired, on
the next Wednesday. The friends of the bill
were therefore on hand. The object was to have
it passed early in the morning, so that it could be
referred for action in the House the same dav.
Dining the morning Mr. Critteuden called it up,
but Mr. Sevieti, since dead, and then Chairman of
the Committee on Foreign Relations, had a three
million bill on hand to bribu Mexico into the be?
lief that she was whipped, and he opposed the
taking up of the Irish ReliefbiH. Senator Cass
was in his seat, and though he had spoken for it
the day before, he refused to vote for it; and Mr.
Crittenden's motion was lost?Yeas, li; Nays, 23
Senator Cass's name was called three times, but
he shook his head, as much as to say : " I have
bamboozled the Irish by a speech in favor of the
bill, but I don't care whether Irishmen die or not.
\\ hen my friends choose they can say I made a
blarney speech for it; when they choose they can
say it is unconstitutional, and I .lou t care, any?
how. ' Of the 1- voting for tie biil, only one
iW estcott of Floridas Loco Foco could be found
m all. There was but one WhR? voting against it
out of the 23. Among the Loco-Focos then vot?
ing to let Irishmen die of starvation were Mr.
Daniel S. Dickinson of this State, and Daniel
Sturgeon of Pennsylvania, both candidates for re?
election by the votes to be cast by the country,
men of those whom they voted to let die of star

Attorney-General of the United States, tho last
and present Secretary of .'-t?te, tbe present Secre?
tary of the Treasury, and the idols of the Democ?
racy, Cass A Co. voted for it. (too late to save it in
the House,) and yet the Globe and Loco-Foco pa
pers Generally say that Cass and Calhoun voted
lo violate the Constitution '!
Among those who voted against it on its (inaj
passage was Mr. Dickinson of X. V. now a candidate
for Irish voters to elect Assemblymen to reelect
him Senator of [the 1 nited States. [Congrcsston
Though it was late on Saturday night when it
passed the Senate, I went to the Secretary of the
Sonate and urcred him to have the bill, just passed
by a two-third vote, sent that evening to the
House. It readied the House a few minutes he.
fore that body adjourned, at 20 minutes to s
o'clock.
Sunday a caucus was held at the White House,
to kill the bill, ami to permit Irishmen to die of
starvation. Mr. Pulk declared that he would veto
the bill if it passed. Since then he has passed to
thru " ui,discovered country from whose bourne no
traveler returns," which of course disarms my
pen of harsh criticism upon this act. He died,
net of starvation. Amid pleasure, pomp and pa
a Presidential veto here.
Monday came nnd Washington Hunt was alive
for the succor of perishing Ireland. It was the
1st day of March, and Congress bad only two days
to live. Accordingly, the Senate bill for the relief
of Ireland was read twice. " Mr. Washington
Hunt moved for its immediate consideration."
Mr. U. V* ? Jones, a Loco Foco from Tennessee'
Mr. Folk's own State, and'probably by direct^

Mr. Bayly of Va. Mr. Boydof Ivy, Mr. Cobb of

X. V. Preston King of X. Y. Mr. Sawyer of < ?liio
and his "sausage" friend firinkerhoff, all Loco

the friends of the bill in the House were gener

voted against laying on the table, or in orher

Fp till near midnight Mr. Hunt. Mr. Wentworth
and Mr. Winthrop were unceasingly praying that
the bill might be taken up ; but it was in Mr.

steam-engine could not draw it cut. This Orville
Hungerford was run for Controller of this State

more was theWhig candidate, and he was known
to have approved of the bill. Millard Fillmore
beat Mr. Hnngerford, principally upon that issue,
by about 10,000 majority in the State. Mr. Hun
gerford was beaten nearly two to one in the Sixth
Ward of this city, where the Loco ma jority is 800
or l.ouo. Yet the Globe and other Loco papers
tell tl?s majority of the Sixth Ward voters the
bill was unconstitutional. With ail respect for
the Glob-:, I believe that, the people were right
and that it is wrong.
About midnight Mr. Wentworth moved that the
Committee be ordered (compelled) to report the
bill to the House. [Congressional lilobe, paje 275.J
As the Speaker's hammer fell, with the knell of
midnight, I remember well hearing Mr. Hunt's
voice, above the uproar, pleading for live minutes
to pass the Irish Relief Bill. But Loco-Foco
benits were as insensible to his appeals for this
great work of charity as the bell on which Time's
progress was recorded, or as the Speaker's ivory
hammer with which he announced it. The friends
of Ireland left the ha!! at midnight weeping over
the defeat of the bill; end Charity wen: forth upon
the cold March midnight air with tears in her eyes
and curses on her tong-ie against those who had
meanly, skulkingly killed the bill which would
have carried life to the dying, and added glory un?
fading to the American name.
Here is a fair statement of this benificent move?
ment for Ireland, started by Washington Hunt.
The whole people of the country approved of it.
The naturalized citizens were grateful for it. The
Irish papers then published in this country praised
the actors in it. Two-thirds of the Senators of the
United States voted for it. The people of Europe
raised the anthem of praise to the land ol" the
WesPfor this wonderful display of National chari?
ty. The people of Ireland were particularly
moved with gratitude. I have seen letters from

i.'U.UOO lor the llelief of Venezuela. Thirty
eight years have since passed, and nobody ever
found it was unconstitutional till Washington
Hunt proposed to save Irishmen from starvation.
2. i'ass, Calhoun, Webster, Corwin, two Attor?
ney-Generals of the United States, and two Secre?
taries of State, voted for Mr. Hunt's Irish Relief
bill. Webster, Cass and Calhoun defended it. Now
that Washington Hunt is up for Governor it is dis?
covered by Tom, Dick and Hairy that Cass and
Calhoun and Webster did not understand the Con
?titntion, which they were sworn to support.
3. The Legislature of New-York unanimously
passed Resolutions recommending the passage of
Mr. Hunt's bill. The Loco papers now tell us that
not one single member of the New-York Legisla?
ture of 1847 knew the Constitution of the United
States, which they had sworn to s'ipport.
?I. The present Congress, only a few weeks since,
voted $10,000 to Amin Hey, the traveling agent of
the < irand Turk. He stood in no need of it. lie was
not starving, he was cot dying, yet Loco-Focos
voted him 810,000, and we hear nothing about " un
constitutionality." It seems to be constitutional to
give public money to Turks, Venezuelans, barba?
rians?to everybody. According to the Loco-Foco
papers Irishmen are the only people on the face of
the enrth who are unconstitutional.
in conclusion, why ail this discussion '
is eitsy. The Loco-Focus, for a long
irs, succeeded too well in making the
voters b-.-lieve that they were their
the Whigs were their enemies. A
ipon Ireland. The husband, wife
and child were dying together on the roadside,
and there was not money to buy a coffin, nor
strength to dig a grave. The people of the Luit
c-d States all eagerly contributed to the fund for
the relief of Ireiand : but it was supposed that
before private benevolenee could reach the dying,
thousands would perish who might be saved, if the
Government (which is only the creature of the
People) took ho:<i. It was with this view that
Washington Hunt introduced his bill. Mr. Web?
ster, Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Critteuden. Mr. Corwin and
Mr. Cuss all advocated its passage, but it was put
nil by various subterfuges for three weeks, and
then meanly strangled to death in a Loco-Foco
committee-room.
For Mr. Hunt s conduct upon that occasion, the
Naturalized citizens, long since resolved that if
he was ever up again for any public favor, they
would not iorget him. The Loco Foco papers are
now insulting the understanding of Naturalized
citizens by trying to make it appear that what
Madison, Calhoun, Webster, Cass, Corwin, Crit
tenden, Clayton ami others, all agreed to vote for,
violated the Constitution and thereoy perjured
themselves. Pshaw ' How long must sensible
men be thus trifled with \
The Loco-Foco Editors may as well cease their
efforts. Irishmen will pause before they combine
against Mr. Hunt.
They would feel the blood of their countrymen
upon their souls if they tried to crush him whose
heart sought to save them.
They would feel that they wore voting them?
selves inferior to Turks and Venezuelans if they
joined in the cry that the Irish bill was unconsti?
tutional.
They would feel themselves unworthy of the
