“INFAVOR OF ECONOMY.”
Previous to every Important election, Uio Wings

some of the men who wore delegates to that Conven

administration, whereby they have good reason lo
believe that a member of (ho cabinet got upwards of
ONE IIUNURED THOUSAND DOLLARS from
the People's Treasury, for his own private pufp'oscs >
They have seen the allowance by this Administration,-
of the Barron Pension Claim, by which the friends of
those who aro invested with power, have illegally
and improperly received thirty thousand dollars, on
a pension claim which had been long before adjusted
and settled under the half pay law. The Chickasaw
Claim, by which eminent bankers in Washington
city received from (ho Treasury ONE HUNDRED
AND TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, of a
fund belonging to a tribe of Indians known as the
Chtckasaws. The Hargous Claim, under which
EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
was paid from Iho Treasury, when in fact (hose
most conversant with the claim aro of (ho belief that
Mr,. Hargous conld not justly demand more than
eighty thousand dollars; and for carrying which
claim through, the counaol employed received one
hundred and twenty thousand dollars, and as is be
lieved by most, a member of iho cabinet received
THIRTY THOUSAND as council fees for his ser
vices. The Lcggct claim by which other largo
1 amounts pillaged from Government by speculators
i who oftentimes have bought up those demands for
1 merely-nominal sums. These aro some of the roa
sons among others why iho country elsewhere, is so
dissatisfied with Iho parly in power—the spoils parly
only hold together "by the cohesive power of public
plunder.”

General Scott’s Bullying Disposition
When Gen. Jackson sent Gen. Scott to Florl
p ul down the Seminole Indians, his conduct bccami
„ n d h\ g course of policy so exceptionable,
the command of tho army In other hands. When
the Mexican war broke out, Gen. Scott quarrelled
with tho administration of President Polk,because
they would not send him lo command Gen. Taylor's
army, and afterwards, when they determined lo dos>
patch him on another route of operations, by (ho way
of Vera Cruz, ho wrote his “ hasty plate of soup "
letter, declining, lost thoro might bo a “fire in hit
rear." After ho arrived in Mexico, he quarrelled
with God. Worth, Gen. Pillow, Col. Harney, Gon.
Patterson, Col. Duncan, Major Burns, Commodore
Perry,Nicholas P. Trist, and we cannot tell how
many more. Indeed, hit miserable wrangling in
tho face of an enemy, and in an enemy's country,
nearly brought our army into disgrace.
With such a disposition, what would Gen. Scott
be when President of (ho United Slates 1
Geo* Scott In New Hampshire.
Never was there a more signal falluto in UU.

ding (wo weeks notice had been given of (ho meet
ing, not enough Whigs could bo got ont to make a
respectable meeting in the State House yard, whero
it was to have been held, and it had lobe held, lo
avoid the sorry show of numbers, in the Depot Hail
—whore scarcely 350 persons, including Democratic
spectators, could bo collected lo ratify Scott and
Graham. Gen. Leslie Coombs refused to epoak ot
tho meeting, ond the oudience had to bo entertained
by such domestic orators as could be ihdncod to do so,
on short notice.
" Tits Cat is Stilc they Come."—Goo. W. Park

himself for Pierce and King. Tho Trenton True

member of Congress, whig candidate for govenor,
ono of (ho whig candidates for Sqnalor in 1851, See.,
and Mon. Joshua Brick, heretofore t distinguished

innumerable quantity of less important men, have

This is what a Washington letlor in tho Tribune
says of Gen. Scott, and tho remark is extensively
copied and approved by the Scott papers. Thus tho

above the grave of Taylor, are disturbed tu minister
to insatiable vanity.

DAVIU L. SHYMOUR.
Hon. Jambs X. McLanauas,
Chairman of iho Committee on Iho Judiciary "
iOutlie House of Representatives of the U. b.
Mr deah ein: I have received your esteemed favor
ofthc Slslinst., and would have acknowledged it ol
once hut iur my public duties.
The Committee on the Judiciary has recently dc- ,
cided a ease which embraces in piinciplo the caso
1 presented by the friends of Thomas t. Meagher.—
\ Under the terms of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo,
establishing peace between the United S utes end the
republic of Mexico, the inhabitants of the territory
'ceded under Unit treaty—according to the form cs
lablishcd when Louisiana was purchased from Spain
were admitted to the rights common to our native
born and adopted citizens. Certain persons in New
Mexico who did not elect lo become citizens of the
United Slates within the prescribed lime after Ihe
ratification of the treaty of Guadalupe, made on op
plication lo the present Congress lo bo admitted (o
the same privileges granted in those who availed
■ themselves of the provisions of the treaty and thereby
became citizens of lilts government. The subject
was referred to the committee of which 1 have (he
honor lo bo chairmen, and was closely investiga
ted. It soon’ became apparent that there was no
power in Congress to grunt the prayer of the
petitioners. The pi«in inundate of tho constitution
is, thulCongrcsfl shall adopt "a uniform rule of nat
uralization ” The piaclico of the Government from
the beginning has been consistently in obedience to
iUio.fl{uuu> - Nni a smote instance can btUbund uuon
provision. Tho States delegated the power lo Con
gress lo pass naturalization laws, in order that the
priviligcs and rights of a citizen of tho United States
might bo conferred on aliens desiring to enjoy the
advantages of a republican form of Government,
without distinction of persons, by a “uniform rulo
Consequently, no legislation has taken place be
stowing iho rights of a citizen upon nn individual
who has not resided in (his country (lie prescribed
period of lime, and complied with tho requirements
of (ho statutes which have been passed to carry out
the injunctions of the fundamental law.
The character of Mr. Meagher, his services to his
country, his inspiring end elevated eloquence, his
modest and unpretending deportment, his trial, his
captivity, and his escape, are all eminently calculated
to awaken in his behalf the active sympathies of a
great, generous, and progressiva people. Landing
upon our shores, Ins first act was to enroll himself
under our flag, and lo decline every proffered honor
to himself while his country was enslaved and
his companions wero in exile.. 1 do not wonder
at tho tribute everywhere paid to his genius end lo
his patriotism ; and it is in accordance with the
spirit of our countrymen that there should be a strong
and earnest desire lo clothe him ul once with tho |
rights which he knows so well how to value, and
which his example and his intellect would so pre
eminently adorn. Ho himself will readily per
ceive the necessity which lias prevented all individual
exceptions in the policy of (his government on tho
subject of noluralizilinn, Ilia cnltivi led and expan.
sivc mind will not fail la trace tho workings of our
institutions, and tho wisdom of those who founded
them, in the results which havo followed their glo.
rious developments. To a man of his genius, of his
devotion to freedom, of his impassioned ambition for
hts own, and of his enthusiastic devotion to our
country, tho system of laws here erected will consti
tute sn object of cnobling admiration and earnest
reflection. Welcome to the noble young tribune of
tho Irish people! Welcome to the heroic defender i
of Irish rights! Welcome, thrice welcome, to these 1
shores tho brave and unyielding opponent of British '
aggressions f |
In this ego of (ho world, a man like Thomas F. 1
Mooghor—resolute in principle, bold in execution,
and sincere in sentiment—is lo the enslaved masses '
of the Old World what armies in tho past have been j
to despotism. More potent than embattled legions'
his eloquence, he conquers by his example and sweeps )
dynasties by the power of triumphant truth imbodied
In his resistless thoughts. Public opinion in moro

do the same for even n worthless article if they ha»e
friends. 1 rely solely on the merits of tho article for

All orders directed to the above address, will be

20,0.00 Persons Cured
NO RELIEF , NO PAY!
TUT. public nrc tcspcclftilly informed lliol Dr.
TOBIAS has adopted iho above as his molto since
he has introduced his invaluable
VENITIAN LINIMENT,
On sale in the United Slates—now over 3 years.
During that period every bolllo sold has been war
ranted to give Belief, if used according to the direc
tions, or the money would be refunded: and no Agent
I was allowed to have It on sale without ho would
warrant it.
Thousands of bottles have been sold, and not one
in a thousand have been returned.
Wherever it has been introduced it has supersed
ed every other Liniment, and, with scarcely any ad
vertising, has quietly won public confidence. Now,
there arc hundreds of families that arc never without
it. This has been done by private teroimncndation,
chiefly from those who have beer, cured by it of ob
stidnlo discuscp.
When every other rtrfiedy has pfotcd ineffecfuAJ-
Many persons have paid, on reading my pamphlet,
(hat it cures 100 many complaints; hut I have replied
“Use it accordingly tho directions, and if you do
not get relieved, Jour money will bo returned. More
I cannot say: for if I confer no benefit I ask no re
muneration. All that is asked is a fair trial; then
I am assured there will bo no dissatisfaction.
IT IS WARRANTED TO CURE
Cholera, colic, dysentery, cramp, vomiting, sea-sick
ness,.chronic rheumatism, soro throats, cuts, burps,
chilbans, swellings, old sores, bruscs, coughs, croup,
back.and breast; plans in the jdints, hemorhage, Ac.
Thousands of certificates can bo seen at the depot.
Full directions wrapped up with over? botiTo,
Ladies con find no article that will so quickly and
harmlessly remove pimples and blotches from Ihi
neck, face and hands*.
Croup, which cani'cs off hundreds of children art
noolly, can bo averted by iho timely application of
the VenltUn Liniment. If parents would observe
their children, and when the eyes ore heavy, nr Ihd
breathing slightly thick, they would roh the n«U
and chest well with the liniment, they never would
have to suffer that distressing complaint.
Chronic Rheumatism it cures as certainly as !( is
applied. But inflammatory it requires the aid of a
physician as Internal treatment is requisite.
Persons suffering from weakness or pains in the
back, chest or limbs, will find relief in a foyv eppli>
lions of this Liniment. It opens (lie pores, besides
strengthening the muscles.
Toothache is cured by it in a few minutes.
Vomiting is immediately slopped by it, and when
the stomach will not retain medicine or food, lake
20 drops of Liniment-in half a wine glass full of
watrr—ihcn nothing will bo ejected.
Cholera and Dyscnlnry were cuiih! in hundreds of
eases, when last in this country, by the timely use
of ibis Liniment.
It is also warranted superior to onytbing else to
alleviate and cure cuts, burns, old sores & swellings.

TIMS preparation is in common use among Iho
Arabs who feed it to their Horses three or four times
a year* for about a week ot a time which no doubt is
the cause of Ihoir remarkable speed oud unfailing
wind. It was introduced into England, acme years
ago, by Mr. Darloy of Yorkshire, who procured (ho
receipt from an Arabian Sliiok.or Chlufnf whom he
purchased n horse, during his residence in Syria,
which ho imported into England and was known as
the ‘Darloy Arabian,' from which sprung the largest
and most splendid horses over known. >
It. w.ill not only proved, but-it will effectually
cure.(ho above named, complaints; it cleanses Ih*
breathing apparatus by removing from the air cells
the lymplli or secretion which In Heaves clogs thorn,
causing a difficulty of breathing, by its action on the
diseased part causes the mucus membrane to resume
its natural dimensions thus equalising tho
circulation of the blood and restores .tlio vessels
to their natural size. As a Condition Medicine it is
unequalled; iis effects In (his rasped ore truly as.
(onisliin'g. Many horses which before using this
medicine were not considered worth $3O, have by (ho
use pf from two to four packages, been restored to a
healthy and sound condition? (ho horse's appetite
has been improved, oil dcrongflitfenta of Iho digestive
organs corrected, the akin has become soft, (ho coat
essumod a sleek and shining appearance and other,
wise so much improved that they would sell readily
from $6O to 8125. .
Tlio euro has been complete and permanent. It
may bo used at all limes with perfect safety, am) msy
likewise bo given to horned Cattle aa t cell at Iloreta.
