TIRE TRUE WAY TO RECOVER
HEALTH.
'An indi%idual only wishes to know the right
wac to pursue it; and there are none, were it surely
ma.do known how LIFE might be prolonged and
Health recoverc.l. who would not doubt the plan.—
Evid••nce is required that the right way is discovered
•this is what those :suffering from sickness want to be
s ttisfied about. For who Is so foolish as not t r enjoy
nil the health thAt his body is capable of? Who to
there tl - nt would not live when his experience can so
Much bene.fit himaelf and family? It is a melancholy
fact that a very large proportion of the nwst useful
monikers of society die between the ages of thirty and
forty. I low mnny widows and Imlpless orphans have
been the consequence of mandkind not having in their
own power the means of restoring health when lost.
Novo all t l4c4e dangers and ditficultias can be preven
ted and the long and certain Ilickimso. apd by assisting
triture in the 3iitset,Ssith a good dose of Brandreth's
Pills. This is a fact, well understood to be so by thou
sand.; of our citizens. This medicine, if taken se as
to purge freely, will surely cure any curable disease.--
There is ne form or kind of sickness that it does not
exert acnrative influence upon. Thus, by their pow
er in resisting putrefaction, they cure measles, small
pox, worms and all courageous fevers. There is not a
medicine in the world so able to purify the mass of
blood, and restore it to a healthy condition, as the
Brandreth Pills.
Th. Brandreth Pills are purely vegetable, and so
innocent that the infant of a month old may use them,
if medicino is required. nut only with safety but with a
certainty of receiving all the benefit medicine is capn
bloofimparting. Femnles may use them in nll the erit
cal periods of their lives. The Brandreth Pills will
insure their health, and produce regularity in all the
functions of life.
The same may be said of Brandreth's external
reined', as an out yard application to all external pains
or swellings, or sores, it greatly assists the cure.
Whou used where the skin is very tender or broken,
it should be mixed with one or two pints of water.
A sure test of genuine Brands eth Pills.—Exam
ine the box of Pills. Then look at the certificate of
agency, whose engraved date must be within the year,
which ei.ery authorised agent must possess; if the three
labels on tho box agree with the three labels on the Get
tificate, the Pills are true—if not, they are false.

IMPORTANT FACTS
R. L DT'S Sarsaparilla Blood Pills are applicall
hie in all cases, whether for Purgatives or Po
ri . fication, They possess all the boasted virtues of
other pills, and are additionally efficacious, oontaining
Sarsaparilla in their composition, which is nut con. sin
.eil in any other pills in existence. They are also dif
ferent from other pills in compcsition, being purely
vegetable, and quo be employed at all times, withent
any danger, and requiring no restraint from occupation
.or usual course of living.
Notwithstanding Di-. Leidy never pretended his
Blood Pills would cure all diseases, vet it is not saying
too much of them, from the innumerable cures perform
ed by them in every variety and form of disease (cer
tificates of many of which have been published from
persons of all denominations, physicians, clergymen,
and others) that they seem to be almost universal in
their effret; and persons using them fot whatever sick.
',cis or disease, may rest assured that they will be found
more efficacious than any other pills in existence.
From the known reputation of Dr. Leidy's Blood
Pill, it is necessary to remind the public where they
can at all times procure the genuine, as it is attempted
to impose other pills, called the 'Blood Pills' upon the
public on the reputation of Dr. Leidy's.liar Be par.
denier and ask for Dr. Leidy's Sarsaparilla Blood pills
and see that the name of N. B. Leidy is contained on
two sides of each box, (the boxes being of paper, and
oblong, square shape, surrounded by a yellow and black
label.

LETTER
HON. R.J. WALKER,
OF MISSISSIPPI,
VAILATIVI TO THY
ANNEXATION OF TEXAS,
In reply to the call of the People of Carrol Cows.
ty, .li7entucky, to communicate his view, 01 4 440
The defence of the country and all its parts against the
probable occurrence of war, is one of the first and high.
lest duties of this government. For this we build forts
and arsenals, dry docks and navy yards, supply arms
and ordnance, and maintain armies and navies at en
annual expense of many millions of dollars; and for
this we guard great cities and important bays and hers
bons. From the organization of the government under
the constitution, up to the latest period in 1843, for
which detailed statements are given, we have expended
for the War Department, $374,888,899, and for the
Naval Department. $73.236,569—being for both $548,
125,468; for the civil list, $61,385,373, for foreign ins
tercourse, $35,051,772; miscellanenus. 9,61,578.198,
making for these three lust items. $157,915,310; and
for the public debt. $451,71,9,003;—making the t,
expenditures $1,1.57,789,73t. Now it the expe..
tures for the defence of the country , us above given...
$448,125.468—%e add that portion of the national
debt which may be fairly estimated as having been irts"
curred for the defence cf the country., it would make
$943,125,468 expended for the defence of the country,'
and leave $206.664.313 expended forall other purposes.
The defence of the country was the great object for
which the government was founded, and for this purs
pram nearly all the moneys collected from the people
have been expended; and yet, of this east-amount, but
$2.208,000 have been expended idf fortifications is
Louisiana; New Orleans and the mouth of the Maim
sippi are still to a great extent undefended. Whets
we consider that nearly the whole commerce of the
west flows through :his outlet, amounting now to $220,-
000 per annum, and rapidly augmenting every year.
has not the West aright to demand a defence, corn.
plea and effectual, of this great river? Now, Mr.
Adams and Mr. Clay. in 1825 and 1827, in attempt
ing to secure the reannexation•of Texas says, "the line
of the Sabine approaches our great Metre mark
nearer than could be wished;" and in 1 82 9 , General
Jackson and Martin Van Buren announce" the real
necessity of theproposed acquisition," as a guard fot
the western frontier, and the protection of N. Crkans:
If, then, the defence of the countryl one of the main
objects and highest duties of this government, and to
dish which it has expended nearly all the mon
eys collected from thepeople, can it bo unconstitutional
or improper to acquire Texas ace mere question t f
defence or protection, when we are assured, that the
acquision is a matter of "real necessity." as a guard
for the frontier and the protection of New Orleans."—
And surely this protection is as necessary now as it was
in 1825, 1827, 1829, 1833 and 1835; and New Orleans
and Texas, and the frontier and Sabine, stand precise
ly where they did at those periods. Indeed. I have
now before me a letter of General Jackson, .almost
fresh from his pen, in which he announces his opinion
that the reannexation of Texas "is essential to the U.
States." Although some of my countrymen may difs
fer from me as to the exalted opinion which !entertain
of the high civil qualifications of General Jackson,
none will dispute his extraordinary military talents,
and that no man living cart know so well what is ne
cessary to the protection of New Orleans, as Its great'
and successful defender. If, then, thereannexation of
Texas be more essential to the safety and defence of
New Orleans and the mouth of the Mississippi, than
all the fortifications which could be, but have not bee
and will not be, erected in that quarter, has not tie'
West a right to demand, on this ground alone, the
reacquisitioe of Texas? The money of the West. as
the treasury reports above quoted demonstrate, is now
freely disbursed, and has been expended by hundreds,
of millions, for the defence of the Atlantic Mates; and
will not those States feel it a duty and a pleasure to
defend the West, and their own products, which} float
upon its mighty rivers, by the repossession of a terri
tory which is essential for our security and welfare?
To refuse the reannexatinn, is to refuse the defence
of the West in the only way in which that defence will
be complete and effectual; for you may vetted your
fortifications along the whole coast of the gulf, and New
Orleans, and the mouth of the Mississippi, and the
Florida pass will remain undefended, so long us Tema
is in the possession of a foreign pcwer, and we are
open to attacks from the rear through that region.
Fortifications, also, may sometimes be caputred by a
great superiority of guns and force, by squadrons upon
the sea; and with sufficient time and adequate farce,
if nut by storm, by mina and siege, they may be eh
ways taken by assaults upon the land—even Gibraltar
and the Moro castle nut having always proved impreg
nable, But Texas, our uwn, and in the possession of
the I nave and practiced marksmen of the West. would
be a position where, against all attacks from the rear,
every inch ground would be fiercely contested, and
every advance would be marked by rho blood of the
invader; and if New Orleans should be invaded its
other directions, oureountrymen in Texas, over whom
would then float the flag of the Union, would rush to
the rescue of their own cleat city, and, uniting with
their brethren in arms from other States of the same
great Union, would re-enact, upon the banks of the
Mississippi, the victories of San Jacinto and New On
leans, If, then, we are true to the West and South
west, we will, if there be no other reasons. as a ques
tion of defence, reacquire the possession of Texas: or
do patriotism, and love of the whole country, and of
all its parts, exist only ie name? Does the American •
heart yet beat with all their glorious impulses? or are
they mere idle words. fitted only to round off a period,
or 1111 up an address? And have we reached that point
i n t i re scale o f descending degeneracy, when the he
quiry is, not what wilt best strengthen and defend tha
whole, but whet will most effectnally impair the
strength, retard the grtneth, and weaken tile security
of the valley of the West?
Let us now examine the effect of the re-annexation
of Texas on the whole country The great interests
of the Union, es exhibited in the census of 1890, are
