Morn Home Testimony in Favor of
DR. SHERMAN'S ALL-HEALING BALSAM.
N ew O hlkans , Feb. '25, 1848.
To Dr. Sherman's A «eut, 151 Chartres street:
Dear Sir—Having derived great benefit from the
use of Dr. Sherman'* Balsam, yon will permit ine
to address a few linos to yon. 1 have been troubled
for a long time with a bud 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 it« 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
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 Congli
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;
M obile , 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.

WINER'S
Canadian Vermifuge.
^PHE best remedy ever yet discovered
for all kinds of WORMS. 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.

Houses on Saturday next, 9th instant.—
The Senate then adjourned.
In the House , the Hon. P. W. Farrar
took the chair. Several members were

apprize the Governor that the Legislature
was organized and ready to proceed to
business. A message Irom Ins Excellency
was soon recieved, read, and ordered to
be printed to the number of 500 copies.
Two acts were presented making appro
priutions for the support of the Public
Schools, and regulating the disbursement

dispensed with, and read a second time,
on a motion to adopt the vote stood yeas,
45; nays, 25. So the resolution was pass
ed.
The House adjourned until 10 o'elock,
Tuesday.
THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
The following is the message of Gov.
Johnson , transmitted on Monday to the
two Houses of the Legislature:
Gentlemtn of the Senate, and House of
Representatives—
I can never feel indifferent to any thing
that concerns the interests of education,
and it is no newborn zeal that has awa
kened my sympathy ßr those whose lot
it is to sigh and suffer for instruction in
the first line's of thought. To read, in
other times, was the privilege of a favored
few; in ours, it is the right, and is destin
ed to become the possession of ail. To
tax the wealth of the nation forthe univer
sal diflusion of ki owledge, is the noblest
characteristic of the age in which we live,
and from the benign operation of this prin
ciple, I believe there can be no recession.
The rich lessons of history have too plainly
taught, that it affords the only solid foun
dation on which the virtue and happi
ness of the people and the moral energy
of republican institutions can rest. Give
the people but to read and the power of
a free press, acting upon the mighty im
pire of public opinion, in harmony with
the purifying doctrines of Christianity,
will emancipate them from every bon
dage and roform them of every error in
compatible With a perfect equality or
rights, social and political. In this way
only, cap civil freedom and religious liber
ty be enjoyed in full perfection. The
framers of the new constitution well un
derstood this, and did not hesitate to em
ploy the idea in the instrument, in lan
guage, the letters of which deserve to have
been written in gold. It imperativly
demanded the establishment of free public
schools as a governmental policy through*
ont the State—this organic revelation of
a sublime and patriotic sentiment was
approved by the people, and the first
Legislature that followed gave unqualified
sanction to the principle, and imposed au
ample tax on property for its support.
For a length of time, the proceeds of this
tax have been accumulating in the deposit
of the treasury, from whence the conser
vative Jealousy of the constitution permits
no money to be drawn, except in pursu
ance of spécifié appropriations.
Unhapily, your Inst adjournment left
the infant mind of the State without ac
cess to these means of education. The
bill whieh proposed to appropriate them
to the purposes for which they were desig
ned, failed to hecome a law; nor was any
available provision made for the main
tenance of the common schools as they
existed anterior to the adoption of the
new system. To prevent the train of
evils likely to flow from so surprising an
event, I could see, and the public anxiety
suggested, no other adequate remedy this
side of the regnlar session of the Legisla
ture, in January, 1850, than that which,
in the meah time, might be expected from
an extra session. To render justice,
therefore, to many worthy and necessi
tous creditors of the State attached to the
service of the old and new schools; to
redeem the State from the blighting re
proach of having no publia system of ed
ucation in force for a period of two
years—to resist the power of a prejudice
which is at war with the free public
school system—to silence the clamors
of the people against what appeared to be
an oversight of the State authorities—and
to hush the cries of the children for an
inestimable blessing so often and solemnly
promised them, I assumed the responsi
bility of convening you in extra session on
this day nt the seat of government.
These considerations and others of kin
dred import, formed, in my judgment, an
extraordinary occasion to excuse, if not
to justify the act. The power to covene
the Legislature in extra session is purely
a power within the Executive discretion.
Too much caution, therefore, cannot be
observed in resorting to it; indeed, the
experience of extra sessions by Federal
and State authorities in this country, fur
nishes little else than material for a history
of political blunders. With this expla
nation of the motives that induced me to
call yon together at this time, 1 have, in
conclusion, only to recommend a specific
appropriation of the fund provided by law
for the support of the free public Sèhools
of the State, and with as little delay as the
nature of the subject and the forms of le
gislation will admit.
