"o formalit.es took place at the adjournment
0f the Legislature, such as the interchange of
n^es in reference to the adjournment, and

Ambers in attendance in the House of Dele
but these api*ared to meet and part with
tn'ch other, with great cordiality of feeling.
\\ e do not think the Union has any right to
twit the Whigs with an avidity for office seek
Its own party has shown that disposition
to an extent that can scarcely be equalled.—
Besides, the Union will be pleased to remember
that the Whigs, who are seeking offices, have
not only been “proscribed” but “excluded" for
Years past. The pa*t Administrations have shut
them out from all the offices of the Government.
Wdl it be “proscription" fora Whig administra
tion to give its own friends a share of the public
office** Or does it show a great degree of ktoffice
seeking,” that this fair apportionment should be
de*red by the Whig party—more especially
since merit and qualification are to be taken
into the account, and not partizan services?—
The Union is too ultra in its party prejudices to
acknowledge the correctness of the course of
the administration—but the people, who are
unprejudiced, will approve and sustain that
course.
The Union objects very much to that clause
in President Taylor's Inaugural Address, which
conveys the idea that he will look, among other
things, to the decisions of the Supreme court, as
authority in expositions of the constitution—
and calls it a “federal principle”—“rank here
sy.’* &c. &c. Well, hard names will, at this
time of day, have no effect. We contend that
the doctrine of the President, oil this subject, is
sound, republican, conservative, judicious, and
eminently worthy of a man who is to adminis
ter the government “according to the principles
and practices of the earlier Presidents."
The Senate, on Tuesday, was engaged, on
unimportant business—principally relating to the
printing of extra copies of the decision of the
Supreme Court in relation to certain laws
ot New York tind Massachusetts concerning
emigrant passengers. The death of Mr. Dick
inson late a member of the House of Represen
tatives from Ohio, and a member elect to the
next House, was announced, bv Mr. Chase, and
the usual resolutions of respect passed.
Randolph Robinson convicted one day last
week, and sentenced to two years imprisonment
in the District Penitentiary, lias been uncondi
tionally pardoned by President Taylor, m con
sideration. among other things, that a widowed
mother and helpless brothers and sisters depend
ed u;>on him for support.
The account of the “crash” of a store, pub
lished in yesterday's Daily Gazette, should
have been credited to the Richmond Republican,
and the disaster took place in Richmond. The
proper correction was made in the country paper.
The Ion* continued wet weather that we
have had has put hack all farming operations
in this neighborhood. The roads are, even
where, in a wretched condition.
A valuable riding mare, a sorrell, was sto
len from a gentleman's stable in this place, last
Sunday night. The mare was traced as far as
Ten ley Town, in Mil.
The funeral of the late Mr. Dickinson, one
of the Representatives from the State of Ohio,
took place in Washington yesterday.

Buying * Rambler,
The following singular story is extracted
from the Dayton (Ohio) Transcript, it ig ali
neirv to us.
The Town Hall of Alexandria, in Virginia,
is a spacious building, occupying with its out
buildings, two sides of a public square, in
which the city markets are held. It is orna
mented with a clock and steeple, concerning
the erection of which the knowing ones about
town, tell the following yarn, which we tell
as it was told to us:
A gambler from the south, learning that the
fields were ripe for a golden harvest, dropped
dow n upon that city, for the purpose of catch
ing some “pigeons.” The net was spread, the
bait very inviting, and the same went on glo
riously for several days. Mr. Blank, whom
out of respect to his family, we shall call Mr.
Smith, at last fell into the snares of the fow
I ler: and not being able to cope with professional
| villainy, false cards, loadeddice, and other hon
orable means which are practised by “men of
honor” to “do" a “pigeon" out of his money,
he found himself at the end of the game smok
ing to the tune of $3000. This, as a man of
honor, he could not refuse Jo pa\; and as whip
ping a black leg was sorry satisfaction, he cast
about to see what revenge the law “in such
case made and provided,” would afford him.
^ It seems that among the old colony laws of
Virginia, the wisdom of the fathers of the Old
Dominion had seen fit to provide, that it an>‘
man could not show some ostensible means ot
obtaining a livelihood, he should be sold into
servitude, to prevent his being a tax upon the
parish. The wisdom and mercy of such a pro
vision is not at this day to be doubted. I bus
it was written, and that was the end ot the
matter. A pint is a pound the world round;
and to sav that law is not reason is dangerous
treason. ’Mr. Smith therefore entered a com-!
plaint against the man of Fortune as one who
had no ostensible means of living. Dice and j
cards do not seem to come under that denomi- j
nation in the law of Virginia; and the gam
bler was accordingly condemned to be sold at
public auction and outcry to the highest and
best bidder. Not dreaming that any one would
bid for such trash, he took it for a capital joke,
and made himself quite merry. But they may
iau<rh who win. Mr. Smith appeared on the
•'•round and bid $100. The gambler laughed
ami doubled it. The bidder offered $100: anJ
he ros# by hundreds again. At $1300 the
gambler began to feel some alarm, and was
anxious io know “what possible advantage* it
could be to the bidder to buy him."
“To tote him down to New Orleans and trade
him off for corn!*’ said Mr. Smith firmly.
This was not a eatastiophe which the black
leg had at all anticipated, and he began to change
his tone of banter for that of supplication. “Mr.
Smith,” said he. “I pledge you mv word of
honor that I cannot bid another dollar. 1 have
lost every cent I won of you.”
“1 have then so much the belter chance to
buy you,” replied the determined bidder. “Six
teen hundred dollars, Mr. Auctioneer!”
The gambler groaned, but was compelled to
rise $100.
“Seventeen hundred,” said Mr. Smith.
“Oh! Mr. Smith,” implored the other, “how
can y ou be so hard upon a poor fellow. Every
dollar 1 could raise wouldn't make up that sum.
“Then I will buy you!”
“Eighteen hundred,” groaned the favorite ol
Fortune.
“Two thousand.” bid the pigeon.
Ami higher yet the sum ascends; while the
gambler rose hundred by hundred, with protes
tations, which put to shame those ot Isaac of
York when stretched on the rack by the gentle
King John, and respectlullv declining on the
score of extreme poverty, to loan to his sovereign
prince the gold, which was concealed on his
person. . .
Mr. S. finally consented to let his victim on
at 3500 which was speedily forthcoming; and
the authorities not knowing to what purpose
the “proceeds'- of a white man could he law
fully applied.’added a steeple and a bell to their .
Town Hall, that all the citizens of Alexandria j
might be dailv tolled the advantages of having .
••the ostensible means of an honest livelihood.” j

Died.

The many friends of the deceased cannot
discharge tha sad duty of recording his death,
without a just, though too brief, tribute to the
kindness of his heart, the strength of his mind,
and the bravery, integrity and genuine worth of
his spirit. In youth he stood among his brave
countrymen on the glorious battle-ground of
New Orleans; and through his subsequent life,
he displayed, in unusual strength, soundness of
sense, originality of thought, warmth of be
nevolence and geniality of affection. While
claiming for him no entire exemption from the
frailties of our common nature, we, his triends
and neighbors, may say with truth above his
grave, “Here lies all that was mortal of a kind,
honest and noble hearted man." ***

Baltimore Conference Missiona
ry Society.
The following gentlemen are officers of this
Society for the present Year: Rev. John A. Col
ons, president: George Earnest, vice-president;
Robert G. Armstrong, treasurer; William Mc
Conkey, corresponding secretary; Conrad R.
Eite, recording secretary.
This Society is connected with the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Besides its domestic mis
sions, it has establishments in Liberia, the Ar
gentine Republic, South America, and in Ore
gon, all of which a recent report represents to
be flourishing. The Society is about extending
its held into California, and it has already des
; patched, as we have before had occasion to no
; tice, two missionaries and the frame of a mis
! sion church for that station.
The financial section of the report states that
of $13-15 receipts during the past year, there are
i remaining, subject to further disposal, $525.
In this connection, it might be remarked that
provision has been made, by members of the
New York diocese of the Episcopal Church, to
found and support a permanent establishment
of that denomination in San Francisco.
Singular Discovery.
The discovery of the letters implicating the
owners of the ship Franklin in the design of
destroying that ship, is certainly very remarka
ble—yea, providential—and most forcibly illus
trates^ he doctrine of a special overruling prov
idence in the affairs of this world. Why should
the captain have preserved those letters, to be
swift witnesses airainst him and his employers?
Why should that valise, containing them,
have been washed so safely ashore ? Why
should a man have been on the beach just as
the valise reached the shore, and without see
ing the article, have drawn it out on casting his
hook into the water ? What kept those letters,
placed in a valise so exposed to the water, from
being entirely destroyed ? And what induced
the finder of them to take so much pains to save
them dry, and read them ? The only rational an
swer to the whole is—that a wise and superin
tending Providence presided over all, and brought
these purposes of fraud and villainy to light, as
a warning to others, and an illustration of that
truth so often proclaimed to the secret sinner—
“Be sure your sin will find you out."—Boston

From Mexico.
The New Orleans Press has received news
papers from the city of Mexico to the 2tth ulti
mo. They abound in complaints against Santa
Anna, whose name is used as the rallying cry
with all discontented spirits. Being suspected
of a design to return to Mexico, the Congress
has deemed it expedient to pass the following
resolutions respecting him :
“1. General D. Antonio Lopez de Santa An
na shall inform the Supreme Government, when
he may judge it convenient, of the time when
he intends to return to the republic, and the
point at which he will debark.
4-2. The Government shall impart to Congress
whatever information may be received, in order
that proper measures may be taken for the pres
ervation of onler and tranquility.
4*3. Should Gen. Santa Anna return to the re
public. it is necessary that he should previously
express his determination to do so: and be fur
nished with a copy of these resolutions.
“1. The Government shall take especial care
to bring this decree to the knowledge of Gen.
Santa Anna.*’

FEVER AND AGUE.—Fever is always caused |
by a disorderly movement of the blood, struggling !
to free itself of someth ing that incommodes it.— j
When the patient with fever submits to be bled, or |
have his blood poisoned with Mercury, it weakens j
his frame to such a degree, that if he survives the I
process, it always leaves him subject to distressing ;
chills. To cure Ague and Fever, the cause of the j
disease must be removed out of the blood and body, i
which can be effectually done by using Doctor j
SWEETSER’S PANACEA, which purities,clean- j
ses and strengthens. It contains nothing that can .
possibly injure, and its use is always a safeguaid j
against chills and levers.

cites, or Dropsv, Exposure or Imprudence in
Life. Also Chronic Constitutional Disorders
will be removed by this Preparation.
The value of this preparation is now widely
known, and every day the field of its usefulness
is extending, it is approved and highly recom
mended by Physicians, and is admitted to be
the most jiowcrtul and searching preparation
from the root that has ever been employed in
medical practice. The unfortunate victim ot
hereditary disease, with swollen glands, con
| tracted sinews and bones half carious, has been
! restored to health and vigor. The scrofulous
; patient, covered with ulcers, loathsome to him
! self and to hisattendants, has been made whole.
Hundreds of persons, who had gioaned hope
j lessly for years under cutaneous and glandular
disorders, chronic rheumatism, and many other
complaints springing from a derangement of the
secretive organs and the circulation, have been
raised as it were from the rack of disease, and
now, with regenerated constitutions, gladly tes
tify to the efficacy of this inestimable prep
aration. The testimony of those who have
been cured by its use, with their residence has
been published from time to time, ami were it
desirable a mass of the most overwhelming tes
timony could be brought forward, proving most
conclusively its inestimable value.
The following certificate from Col. Samuel
G. Taylor, a gentleman of high standing and
extensive acquaintance through the Southern
States, and lately appointed Consul to New
Grenada, commends itself to the attention of all.
Nkw York, January 7,1S4S.
Messrs. A. B. k D. Samis: Gentlemen .—
Having used and witnessed the effects of your
excellent preparation of Sarsaparilla on ditfeieni
persons in various parts of the Southern couu
| try, viz : Virginia, Louisiana, Texas and Mexi
co, I feel much pleasure in stating the high
I opinion entertained of its great medicinal value.
In my own case it acted almost like a charm,
removing speedily the enervated state of the sys
tem, and exciting in the most agreeable manner,
a tonic and invigorating .influence.
Your Sarsaparilla is highly approved and ex
tensively used by the Cnited States army in
Mexico, and my cousin, Gen. Zachary Tay
lor, has for the past five years been in the habit
of lining it. and recommends the same: he and
mvself adopted the article at the same time, and
it is now considered an almost indispensable re
quisite in the army. In conclusion 1 would say,
that the better it is known the more highly it
will he prized, and 1 trust that its health restor
mg virtues will make it generally known,
throughout the length and breadth of our wide
ly extended country. Yours, very respectfully.

REMARKABLE Cl'RE OF UrON'CIIFTIS.
New York. Feb. 17. Ms.
Messrs. Sands Having suffered many years
with a disease of my throat, affecting the larynx,
during which timel was treated by the most
distinguished physicians in Europe, and the l ni
ted States, without receiving any permanent
benefit, but all the time my general health and
strength declining, and the disease making tear
ful progress, caustic applications were used,
and whatever else was thought most efficient for
producing a cure: but I am confident the deplor
able situation I was in. the laryngitis being ac
companied with phthisis and great difficulty in
breathing, would soon have terminated my life,
had I not obtained relief through the medium o!
your invaluable Sarsaparilla. I must say, gen
tlemen. when L commenced using the Sarsapa
rilla 1 did not place much confidence in its vir
tues: and this will not surprise you, when you
are informed I had tried more than titty different
remedies during the past four years, without any
success; hut after taking your Sarsaparilla a
tew weeks, f was obliged at last to yield to evi
dence. his marvellous specific has not only
relieved, hut cured me; and I therefore think it
my auty, gentlemen, for t ie benefit of suffering j
humanity, to give you this attestation of my cure, j
Yours, very truly, 0. PARENT, j

A. B. & D. Sands: Gentlemen—Having been
cured of a seven* scrofulous disease by the u*e
of >our celebrated, and to me invaluable Sar
saparilla, I feel it be an incumbent dut>
w.iich 1 owe to my suffering fellow beings to
testify to the means which restored me to health,
under the blessings of Providence, after all
other remedies failed. The disease first ap
peared in small pimple* or blisters, which was
attended with violent itching and burning: these
spreading, covered the body, and uniting togeth
er formed large scales and scurf—from which
issued water, and the skin cracking and burn
ing. blood and matter combined, making the
distress so great as to deprive me of all rest.—
My body being covered with a ma>s of scurf
anil scales affected my general health; which
rapidly failed, and I was obliged to abandon my
business. I was treated by various physicians,
and tried different remedies without receiving
any permanent benefit. I then went into the
New York Hospital and remained for fourteen
weeks under treatment, which produced tempo
rary relief. After leaving the hospital the dis
ease returned in a few days, and, when given
up by my friends and despairing of relief from
any source, I beard of >our Sarsaparilla, and
immediately resolved on giving it a trial, i he
first bottle re lie veil me ot all the distressing
symptoms, and did more gor'd than all the medi
cine I had taken for years before. A continu
ation of vour Sarsaparilla, in combination with
vour Soft Rheum Remedy applied externally,
effectually removed all the disease, restored me
to my health, and l am now able to attend to
my business.
I would sav to all, and particularly to my Ger
man countrymen, if you are stiflering under
scrofula or any other disease similar to what I
have been, use the medicine that has been
tried, proved and acknowledged to he all that
is required to bring health to the debilitated
frame. Your»i, sincerely.

Sands' Sarsaparilla.—It has ever been a
prime article of our medical creed, to recommend
no advertised medicines, for we are opposed to
I hem conscientiously and professional Is, hut
we feel bound to deviate from this rule, and
recommend to the siitfering the article at the
bead of this notice. The great medical virtues
of Sarsaparilla, are well known and appreciated
by physician s, hut the uncertainty of the strength
oi’the different preparations of the root, some
being almost inert, has caused the medicine
itself to fail into disrepute. The Messrs. Sands,
it would seem, have succeeded in obtaining a
powerful and uniform preparation of it. We
have seen an abundance of testimonials to its
efficacy from the highest authority, and we re
commend it with pleasure.—Southern Whip.
The following interesting case is presented,
and the reader invited to its careful perusal.
Comment on such evidence is unnecessary.
New York, April 26, 1*17.
Messrs. Sands: Gentlemen—Having long been
afflicted with general debility, weakness, loss ol
appetite, &c., receiving no benefit from the
various remedies prescribed. I concluded about
three months since to make use of your Sarsapa
rilla. I now have the pleasure of informing
you that its effects have been attended with the
happiest results in restoring tny health, and I
am induced to add my testimony to the many
oiliers you already possess, and to those desiring
further information, I will personally give the
particulars of tny case, and the effects of this
invaluable medicine, by calling at Bowery,
New York.
Yours, respectfully, Janet McIntosh.
