WINER'S
Canadian Vermifuge.
rpHE best remedy ever yet discovered
for all kinds of WORM S. It not only destroys
Worms and invigorates the whole system, but it
dissolves and carries off the superabundant slime of
mucus, so prevalent in the stomach and bowels of
children, more especially of those in bad health.—
The mucus forms the bed or nest in which Worms
produce their young, and by removing it, it is im
possible for worms to remain in the body. It is
harmless in its effects on the system,and the health
of the patient is always improved by its use, even
when no worms are discovered ;. the medicine being
palatable, no child will refuse to take it, not even
the most delicate.

DR. SHERMAN'S ALL-HEALING BALSAM.
New Orleans , Feb. 25, 1848.
ToJ)r. Sherman's Agent, 151 Chartres street:
Dear Sir—Having derived great benefit from the
use of Dr. Sherman's Balsam, you will permit me
to address a few lines to you. I have been troubled
for a long time with a bad cough, together with
raising blood, to such a degrpe that I could scarcely
talk without coughing. A friend of mine advised
me to try Dr. Sherman's Balsam, and in less than
two weeks after its use, I find myself perfectly well,
and able to attend to my business. I have recom
mended it to several of my friends, and in all cases
with success.
Yours, dear sir, with respect;

Clerk for T. L. White, 53 Canal st.

STILL THEY COME !
Having accidentally become acquainted with the
viitues of Dr. Sherman's All-Healing Balsam, I
have no hesitation in declaring that its use in my
family warrants the assurance that it possesses all
the gifted qualities attributed to it. In one case,
where the medicine was taken on my recommenda
tion. the effect was almost magical, as the Cough
and Expectoration of mucus matter bore a strong
analogy to a decided consumptive tendency. I be
lieve a mote general knowledge of this medicine is
only required to place it among the best curatives
extant, for Consumption, Dyspepsia and other dis
eases arising from a disorganized state of the stom
ach and affections of the lungs.
JAMES REESE,

Mobile , December 7th, 1847.
I hereby certify, that for 18 months I had been
lingering under Consumption, and expected every
day to be my last. At length I procured a bottle of
Sherman's Balsam, and it raised me as it were from
the grave. It cured me, and I am now able to at
tend to my daily avocation of a boatman.

Mr. Webster and lien. Taylor,
The New York papers contain a Tele
graphic absract of Mr, Webster's speech
at Marshfield. He addressed the citizens
for about one hour and a half, speaking
exclusively upon the Presidential question.
He avowed himself fully and unequivo
cally in favor of the election of Gen.
Taylor.
He said he believed him to be an ho
nest man, whose conduct had ever been
marked by high sense of honor. He was
a man of little pretension, modest and
unassuming, lie had been a candidate
for the Presidency a year before the
Philadelphia Convention. He was fairly
nominated by that Convention; he believed
him to be a true whig; and they tried to
disgrace him and the other whig general,
Scott, by putting a democratic civillian in
command over them- He did not believe
the slavery question had anything to do
with his nomination. The Convention
believed him to be a whig; thought liim the
best man under existing circumstances,
and therfore nominated him. Mr.Webster
spoke at some length, ja vindicating the
whigs of the conventionfand extolling the
character of Gen. Taylor. He denied the
correctness of the Buffalo platform, which
stated that the nomination of Gen; Taylor
was induced by a desire on the part of the
whigs to extend Slave territory, nor were
the whigs of the South accountable for the
nomination. Whether it be good or bad,
the free States had some sixty majority in
the convention, and could have nominated
whomsoever they pleased. Mr. Web
ster said that, in his judgement, the ques
tion who shall be our next President lay
between Gen. Taylor, and Gen. Cass,one
of them will he elected—whom then should
the whigs vote for? We could not all have
our -personal preferences gratified: the
&kies were not about to fall so that we
could catch larks. It was idle to talk
about third candidates. We had enough
of them in 1844.
The despatch goes on to state that Mr.
Webster was extremely severe on Van
Buren, remarking, in substance, that that
gentleman was merely assumiug a cloak
to cover his ambitious purposes—that his
free soil principles were used for the nonce
to push forward his pretensions, and that
he (Mr. W.) believed that Van Buren
laughed in his sleeve, whenever the free
soil question was named. After a scorching
philippic upon the 'Northern man with
Southern principles,' Mr. Webster review
ed Gen. Cass's political career, expressed
an utter want of confidence in the man or
his opinions, and coucluded by a vigorous
appeal to the Whigs to stand by Taylor
and Fillmore.
[From the Natchez Courier and Journal.3 ~
The Prospect.
We receive the most cheering intelli
gence from all sections of the State; and
the hope is strong within us, founded on
reliable information and observation, that
glorious old Rough and Ready will carry
Mississippi at the ensuing November elec
tion. From North Mississippi the news is
especially gratifying. In the second Con
gressional district, Isaac N. Davis is
doing efficient and able service, assisted
by the gallant, and whole-souled Maj.
Alex. B. Bradford, one of the heroes of
Monterey and Buena Vista, together with
dozens of other able champions of our
cause. They meet the enemy where and
on every occasion. Iu the first district,
William L. Harris, Taylor Elector, is al
ready ou the stump, working for the
canse with that pre-eminent ability which
characterizes all his efforts. The chiv
alric McClung is fulfilling daily the heavy
duties which devolve upon him as one of
the electors for the State at large. In the
third district the canvass is being prose
cuted with vigor and ability. Miles and
Lake have done yeoman service, and will
keep the fire up until the close of the can
vass. All the friends of Gen. Taylor have
to do is to keep the ball rolling. The elec
tor for this distrct, D. W. Hurst, Esq., is,
we expect, addressing the people at this
time. Now is the time for those whigs, who
have been gifted with the powers of elo
quence, to come forward and do battle in
behalf of their conntry. Will they refuse?
We hope not. Now is the time or never. If
they fail now, it is not likely that their ser
vices will be required hereafter.

StraigIit-Outs--"StiJl they tome."
Ouio Co., Va., Aug. 9,1848.
Mr. Editor:—The undersigned, cit
izens of Ohio county, and State of Virgi
nia, being qnahfied voters, having here
tofore acted with the Democratic party,
beg leave to statewby we can no Ion
ger vote with said party. It may be
said that the laboring man has no right
to speak or think for himself, as he is not
schooled in the party politics of the day.
We grant that we are not so far advanced
as to comprehend what the misnamed
democrats mean, when all of the leading
men, or most of them, will stoop to the
most abusive misrepresentations of the
brilliant virtues of a man, for the purpose
of keeping in office, or for the elevation for
some friend or relative, to secure the pat
ronage of the chief Executive: Be this as
it may, we wish it to be understood that
we are laboring men, and expect no honor,
only the honor of assisting to place one in
the Presidential chair, who is not only
capable, but one who is honest, and not
been schooled itvparty politics—one who,
it elected, will administer the government
in all its offices as a faithful man.
Another reason why we cannot longer
support the locofoco party is, that we be
lieve that they have not the good of the
country at heart, but go for Party right or
wrong, not as it was in the days of Jeffer
son or Jackson—our Country right or
wrong.
Another reason is, that we have been
looking at the encroachments of the par
ty, and as far as we can judge, after a full
invéstigation of the subject, we believe
that the present self-styled democratic
party will eventually resolve itselfinto the
one man power; when this government will
loose its balance wheel, and that partizans
will be elevated to reward friends who
have done most to elevate the successful
and to punish all enemies who have dared
to oppose their will. We think that it is
time that ultra partyism should be put
down—whether it be one party or another
party—in this free goverment.
And now we call on all who hold the
same views as ourselves to come to the
rescue, whether locofoco, democrat or
whig, and assist in elevating to the Presi
dential chair one who has "no friends to
reward, or enemies to punish,"—one who
stands pledged to administer the govern
ment for the benefit of all, and no doubt
will bring it back to those days of Wash
ington and Jefferson,—one whose life is
without reproach—one who has been suc
cessful in the battle field, and never hro't
disgrace on American urms, and wilt
be true and faithful to his country;, and
that man is Zachary Taylor.

A novel sight .—In the celebration of
the 4th of July, at Washington, an object
that attracted much notice, was a living
eagle, well -stricken in years., bnt of great
vigor and majesty, berched aloft above the
triumphal arch on whose columns were
inscribed the names of the thirty States of
the Union, while the American flag spread
its ample folds over the same. It is the
identical eagle that was stationed above the
arch in Alexandria, when Lafayette
visited that city in 1824.
O^Capt. Maryatt, whose recent de
mise has been announced, was a lieuten
ant of the Newcastle man of war, and
when in command of her barges, cut out
four vessels in Boston bay, in 1812.
ff/^The Otsego N. York Republican
mentions that G. A. Starkweather, mem
ber of Congress from the 21st District, in
that State, is out against Gen. Cass.
