Having accidentally become acquainted with the j
virtues ol Dr. Sherman s All-Healiiig Halfan). I
have no hesitation in declaring that its use 111 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

Poetry, bat not Fiction,
The annexed poetical version of the
i grounds upon which General Taylor is
; "pledged" to sustain the people of these
United States, as President—which we
copy trom the Steuben Courier—is from
the pen of a veteran of 177G, a man who
the liberties of his country "in
the time that tried men's souls," and who
now, in Iiis eighty-sixth year, is writing
for his country, as earnestly as before h e
fought for it.
This veteran Whig, now so zpalous
for Taylor, was one of a party which on
the id of October, '79, surprised a portion
of the Queen's Rangers, commanded by
Lieut. Col. Simcoe, in which this officer
was wounded and taken prisoner.
Our whig poet, then only a boy of 16
1848.[years old, was the first to rush upon and
| disarm Simcoe, whose sword he retained
i as a trophy until it was demanded by the
i
! ixovernor.
It is quite natural that stich a Whig
should now be the ardent friend of Tay
lor. Here is the poetry:
[From the Steuben Courier.]
GENERAL TAYLOR'S POSITION,
vis a Candidate
for the Presidential Chair—extract
ed from his published letters, and private com
munications to his frientls.
I say "party Pledges,"
Are mere ent'ring wedges.
To open a passage to power!
The man who will take them,
Will readily break them,
For a still larger Bribe— in an hour.'
I've no private ends
To gratify friends—
No foes that I wish to chastise!
I'll draw every rule
From the Washington School.
With the aid of the Good and the Wise.
A Whig I shall be,
But from'"Party" free, •
("Which oft has disgraced that high station!)
I'll seek for what's best
For North, South and West,
And act for the good of the Nation.
If Congress shall draw
A well defined Law
I never will lightly reject it!
The National voice,
By the men of their choice,
Shall always, by me, be respected.
It ne'er shall be said
That my Veto outweigh'd
Three fifths of a wise Legislation!
I'll always be fonnd
On my own proper giound—
That is—the Executive station.
Though bred up to Arms,
Amidst war's alarms—
I wish that all wars might cease;
If Congress declare it,
I'll fearlessly share it—
And fight, till I Conquer a Peace!
These are my positions—
And if these conditions
Shall meet with your own approbation,
I'm at your command,
Aud with heart and hand
Wi ll fait hfully serve "the tcholt Nation.''
ZACHARY TAYLOR.
Army of Observation, Aug. 1847.
Ct/^The Mobile Herald thus hits off the
cunning proposition made by the Loco
- , T
oc ^ oa ° e ^ ulst>n *
The Cass and Butler club of the parish
of Jefferson, La., advertises for a loan of
one thousand dollars, payable, with legal
interest, when Taylor and Fillmore shall
have been elected.—Smart boys, these!
We knbw plenty of people who will take
similar loans, payable on the election of
Cass and Butler; as indeed, the election
of any man for any office anywhere in
any part of the world. To make the
risk less to capitalists, wa'Il take a loan of
the sort payable after the sun shall rise
on Christmas, 1849."
Çt/^Hon. David Wilmot, while openly
advocating the election of Van Buren and
Adams, was nominated for Congress by
the C hs S and Butler Conevntion of his
District, by a vote of two to one. This
result argues Cass rather weak .in the
knees in Northern Pennsylvania.
fc5~It is proposed to include marriage
under the games of chance, made penal
under the gambling law.
OJ^A lie may stagger through a brief
existence, as a blackguard edges his way
by di,nt of bullying through a crowd, but
the truth, however absurd for a time, will
triumph and live forever.
Qjr^Men look up when flat on their
backs—any change is for the best.
