To Dr. 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
raisiug blood, to such a degree that I could scarcely
talk without coughing. A friend of mine advised
uie 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.

STILL THEY COME !
Having accidentally become acquainted with the
virtues of Dr. Sherman's All-Healing Balsam. I
have no hesitation in declaiing 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,
13 Camp st., New Orleans:
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 1 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.

children, more especially of those in bad health.—
The muens 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

Mr.
[From the Niles Intelligencer.]
Editor:—
Dear Sir—Not the least of many rea
sons that are urged for the support of
General Cass for the Presidency, is that
he represents in character and habits,
that republican simplicity which dis
cards all distinctions that tend to create
in this country a European aristocracy. A
little incident in the history of the Gen
eral will show how far his republican
simplicity in his habits entitles him to
the support of that class of men whose
only guarantee to prosperity and plenty
is an honest industry, in (what some
would term) the humbler pursuits of life.
In 1848, when on his electioneering
tour through Western Michigan, with his
customary attendants, finding public ac
commodations not very inviting to a taste
that had been fashioned at a French
Court, he called at a respectable looking
>
j f., rm j 10use too t, ta j n refreshments. Find
•
!
i the carriage and another individual, who
' r
ing the occupants willing to accommo
date, he instructed the lady to prepare a
meal as soon as possible, for they were
in a great hurry to proceed on their
journey. Hastening to comply with the
request of her distinguished guest, she was
not long in preparing a dinner that would
be palatable to the "Great Pioneer of the
West, who bad spent the most of his life
among the crags of the wilderness." Af
ter the General and Dr. Hoton had taken
their scats at the table, the lady inquired
if she should call the rest of the company,
which consisted oI the man that drove
' •
in the company of French noblemen
would have been called a servant. The
General remarked to the Doctor that he
had better adhere to his accustomed rule
on such occasions, and then told the lady
that they might wait till they were done.
A great many reasons may be found
to justify Gen. Cass for observing rules
in a new and sparsely populated country,
that originated with crowned heads and a
profligate, oppressive aristocracy, but it
is questionable in my mind whether the
large class of voters in this western coun
try, that are proud to earn their bread by
the sweat of the brow, without any extra
allowances, will support a man for Presi
dent that would refuse to partake of the
bounties of our common Creator and
benefactor, at the table with others, simply
because their honest vocation is regarded
by the oppressors of mankind as degrad
ing. A Plebeian.
General Rules .—A Western paper
establishes the following for the govern
ment of al':
It is contrary to order to write to an
editor and omit to pay the postage.
Contrary to order to write a commu
nication for insertion and the writer with
hold his name from the editor.
Contrary to order to take a paper two
or three years and then write that you re
fuse it, permitting the editor to pay the
postage.
Contrary to order to knock at a printi ng
office door.
But it is always in ordei—
To subscribe for a paper at home to
make it good.
To pay in advance.
To write short sensible articles for the
papers.
To pay the postage on communica
tions.
To publish your card so that the public
may know your business and locaJipS.
To send substantial circulàl&Wo the
printers of the important fact of your
marriage.
To write very plain for the printer.
By observing these directions you will
be a good citizen, live happy, and when
yon die ascend among the **** in the up
per case.
flg^Who dare say that Cass will not
support Taylor's administration?
