as almost continually for more than thirty years, a scat iu one or tie other of the two Bouses of Con gress, and having, by his singular pnrity and wis dom secured nnuoundnl confidence and' universal respsct, his failing liealth was watched by the na tion with painful solicitude. His loss to the country under all the circumstances, has been just ly regarded as irreparable. In compliance with the iictof Congress of March 2, 1853, the oath of office was administered to him on the 24th of that month, at Ariadne estate, near Mantanzas, in the island of Cuba; but his strength gradually declined, and was hardly sufficient to ena ble him to return to his home ia Alabama, whero, on the eighteenth day of April, in the most calm and peaceful way, his lorjg and eminently useful ca- 'reer was lerminaiea. Entertaining unlimited confidence iu vour Intel iigent and patriotic devotion to the public interest, aua oeing conscious oi no motives on my part which are not inseparable from the honor and ad vancement of my country, I hope it may be my privilege to deserve and secure, not only your cor dial co-operation in great public measures, but also those relations of mutual confidence and regard, which it is always to desirable to cultivate between members of co-ordinate branches of the govern ment FRANKLIN TIERCE. ; WAsmscTos, D.

What sympathetic heart will fail to res- pond? i "To-night, no idle nondescript lays wato The fairy and vet placid bower of taste; No story, piled with dark and cumbrous fate, And words that stagger under their own weight; But one of silent grandeur simply said, As though it were awakened from the dead I It is a talt made beautiful by years; Of pure old Roman sorrow oU in ttart ! And those you shed o'er it, in childhood, may Still fall and fall for sweet Virginia." . EF The Forest City Democrat, a leading abo lition paper of Ohic-j has a long article headed the ''Perils of the day and the duties of the day,'' in which it takes strong ground against the adminis tration for upholding with such inflexibility the principles of the Baltimore platform. It declares as a very grave offence : " we believe, and declare the administration to be in favor of the upholding and extension of slavery." The Freesoilers under - stand who their friends are better than anybody else, and they tako ever opportunity of denouncing the administration for its pro-slavery proclivities. A .

This Justly celebrated Medicine has for many years maintained its superiority over all olher remedies, for the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent euro of.pueand Fever, or Chills and Fever, whetner nf short or lonj standing; and In no case will it fall to curo,lf tbe direcllomare strictly followed and carrlod. out. This remedy has been extensively used throughout tho States ot Kentucky. Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, Fennsjlva. nla, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana; and has per manently cured over rivE HrsoaKD TnocsAND cases, In all its varied forms, many of which had boon of from one to threeyears' standing, and uad resisted all the usual reme dies known in the country; and la no case did this .Medicine fall where the directions were properly followed. Such is Its Invariable success, that a larjco number of respectable Practitioners of Medicine, in various parts ofthe country, use and prescribe it in preference to quinine andall other remedies. The public are insured that It is not only certain In Its er ects as a Tonic, but being composed entirely of vegetable medicines, Is perfectly innoceut In allcasesor circum. stances, and may be given to remales, infants, and alt per sons of debilitated and delU'ate constitutions, without the least fear whatever of any unpleasant effect. This Medicine i' composed of articles of the prlmest and purest quality, and is atways made by the proprietor In per son, after the established forms of pharmacy (which cannot be said of the many Tonics now flooding the Western and Southwes'eru country) and in this reipecl alone Is rendered greatly superior to tbe remedies usually prepared and sold in the country Bv Its aner.ent and powerful diaphoretic properties, ad' ded to its Tonic rjnalities, it Is rendered eminent lently superior to quinlno and other remedies as a general and popular Tonic in all cases whatever, where Tonics aro proper to be administered. The proprietor, therefore, respectfully in vites practitioners and the public generally to give it but a fair trial, and they will then be convinced of its great supe riority over all other remedies now in use for the purpose speciiled. PersonsllvlLg in districts of country subject to Ague and Fever, chills and Fever, or Bilious Favors, would do well to keep a supply of this valuable remedy always on hand.
