Now all these dangers and llitlicultirs ran be proven
red and the lung and certain ~ i ckner:, and by a,sisting
rriture In the outset. with a good dose of Bylindreth's
Pills. This is a fact, well understood to be ao by thou
sands of our citizens. This medicine, if taken so as
to purge freely, will surely cure any curnbledisease.—
There is no form or kind of sickness that it does not
exert a curative influence upon. Thus, by their pow
er in resisting putrefaction, they cure measles, small
pox. worms and all rontageous fe‘ era. There is nut a
medicine in the world so able to pffrifv the mass of
blood. and restore it to a healthy condition, as the
Icirandxeth 1'43.
The Bcandreth Pills are pirely vegetable, and so

pertaidty of receiving all the bitnefit medicine is capa

cal periods of their lives. Th^ Brandretli Pin will
insure their health, arid I tr. luue rc,guladtx in all the
functions of life.
The same mw Le said of Brandre;h's external
reme d , ns an ont - vard application to all external pains
or swellings, ur sore;, it greatly ttssi:tts the cure.
When used where the skin is very tender or broken,
it should he rnit with one or two pints of water.
A sure test of genuine Brawl, cth Pills.—Exem
ino the box of Pills. Then look at the certificate of
agency, whose engraved date, must he within the year,
which cs cry authorised agent mastpossess; if the three
labels on the hex agree with the three labels on the cer
tificate, the Pills are true—ifnot, they are false.

We find the administration of Messrs Adamst .
4atti
Clay in 1825 and 1827. and diet of Jackson- and -, ttioi.: 4-- ,
Buren, 1829, and subsequently in 1333414'..105, rea-,: - ;;::
king strenuous efforts to procure the, - ,,resitleptexation of
Texas, by a purchase from Mexico, atifio. 4xpense of
millions of dollars. Let us observe also the dates of
these efforts: That of the first, by Messrs Adams and
Clay, in March, 1325, was within three years only af
ter the recognition of the independence of „Mexico by
this country, and prior to its full recognition by other
powers; and it was within less than five years aubse,
quest to the final ratification of the treaty by which we
:surrendered Texas, not to Mexico, but to Spain. Now,
as Spain had nut then recognised the independence of
Mexico, and the war was hull waging between those
nations, the only 1 isle which Mexico had to Texas,
was by a Sii,ek.,,fill rcvoltition, and is precisely the
..,
same title, a id depending on the semi, principles, as
that now possessed by Texas. The same remarks ap
ply to the subsequel,t courts of Messrs Adams and
Clay. in 1827, arid ofdackson and Van Buren in 1329,
to acquire Texas by purchase from Mexico. And even
at the latest period, nu more time had I...cll'id between
the date of the recognition of the independence of Mex. ,
ico, and the poliused pordiuse from her. :Nth the that:
(now about seven years) since oar recognition of the
independence of Texas. Throughout the period of all
these propos•ql treaties, zhc e-ar was waging between
Mexico amid Spain. The Ltra,,e Porter, our eon gal
lant Commodore, commanded the Mexican navy, aid
ed by many American (Alio-vs and cress. In the ear ,
her part, also, of the coollict tin the land, the gallant
Perry. and the brave Magic, Lin American tr."..:ei., antis
a combined American . and Mexicao army, lisd ii.:2t..at,
ed the royal forces ,If Spin in Mally.,:i 1:k: ions conflict.
Throughout this who!, period, Mexico was soliciting
and 06taining the aid of our countrymen, on the ocean
and on the hind; and it is !sore than douLtfol w hether,
in the absence of that assistance, Mexico w ould yet
ha\ c achieved her independence. On the 27th ofJuly.
1b29, Bar radas, with u Spanish army afoot- thousand
men, captured the Me xican city of Tampico, wit:ebbs
held until the 10th of September °Ethos:tuneyear, Yet,
on tile 95th August 1929, whilst the fame of this ex.
pcdii ion was %et undocrioined.. the administration of
Jackson and Van Berm), as We have seen, proposed
the purchase of Texas from Mexico. If, then, there
be any force in the objections that Texas was aided ii i
tier conflict by American citizens, that the war is still
waging, (which it is not,) or that ti:, independence of
Texas is still unrecognised by Mexico, or that a treaty
with Mexicu (as we bad with Spain) had been ratified
—all these reasons app'.y with Far greatcr fer,-..r. against.
the pr :posed purchase of Texas from Mexico in 1825,
1827, rind 1329, when Mexico was yet trBrecngnised
by Spain; when our t reef y, surrender ingTexas to Spain,.
was unrescinded, except by the revolution in Mexico; --
end when our citizens we're still aiding, es theyttfWaytt -
had done, the people of Ij4tOrdcoin their straggle far
indepetulence.
It is true, that. in 1837, within a few weeks .or
months succeeding our recognition ofthe indeloettitiOnii,
of Texas. and before her recognition by any fir igtt
powers, it might have sul t iectes to unjust intintta
tions; and therefore might haV"een deemed inexpe
dient, et ruck a 'thee tied under such circumstances,
to se-annex Tex by a treaty to this Union * 'But
now when seven year have elapsed since our 'recog•
nition of the independence of Texas; and she has twee,
recognisedfor many years as an independent poirerb
the great nations of Eur,ipel and her sovereignty fully
established, and fully acknowledged, there can be no
