Proviso in the Massachusetts Whig Convention This circumstance I thought was well calcula ted to attract the attention of Southern men In addition to this, when the voting commence* In the House, the Abolitionists were found vo ting against Mr. Winthrop. My attention w.t arrested by the fact. 1 saw at once the Aboli tlonists were playing a game in Congress tht precise game so skilfully played in the States o New Hampshire and New York, viz : acting a: a balance party, and though small in numbers pontrivinar to control nfl-iirs. Mv attention be ingthus roused, I nude inquiries of the precisf mode of action by which the Abolitionists pro posed to effect thpir object, and I did learn tha they had proposed to i\lr. Winthrop to vote foi hint a^speaker, provided he would give then the organization of the important Committees; tho Judiciary, Territories, and District of Co lumbia, upon Abolition principles, with a view to abolish slavery in this District, prevent its introduction into any new Territory, repeal the act which cotnpells the return of fugitive slaves and defeat the law of my own State in relation to the entrance of colored persons into our limits. That Mr. Winthrop preferred to lose the Speakership rathpp than comply with these atringent demands. This fict was learnt during the progress of the third ballot. The danger to me was manifest. The Democrats would not vote for a Whig, an ! therefore a Southern Whig could not be elected. The Northern Whigs would not vote for a Democrat from the South; because, with few exceptions the Northern Whigs are opposed to slavery. rrn . it it.: : .1.1 ?Mt. 1UO itri'iiliHJliixs wiiuni inn ?win i?m anj Southern man?he he Whig or Democrat. How then could the House he organized ? In one mode only: by the Northern and Wilmot Proviso men merging every consideration into Abolition, and electing an Abolitionist ot Wilmot Proviso man upon the condition proposed to and rejected by M r. Winthrop. 1 send you the correspondence between Mr. Palfrey and Mr. Winthrop. This correspondence will substantiate these facts; and now I ask, ought I, with this knowledge, to have placed the organization of the House in the hand: of the Abolitionists? Ought I, a sentinel on an outpost, to have hesitated, in an unexpected approach of danger, to defend the great, by fit the greatest of all, interest, committed to m * by a generous constituency? I did not hesitate. All party considerations Hided before the deep, intense, burning necessity. I at one? acted, acted promptly, and I grant decisively. MWinthropwas elected, and the Abolitionists defeated. The committees have been properly organized and Mr. Pa'frey, Mr. (Ji tidings, and Mr. Tuck excluded from the important committees tin y were so anxious to control. I have thus acted; and I have the satisfaction to know that when I explained the grounds on wfeich I acted, I have the approval of those whose judgments I deem eminent upon such subjects. The times are full of perils?perils to the country generally?perils to the South emphatically. I act tind w a fearful respond, bjlity. If in the exercise of that responsibility I have incurred the disapprobation of the edi lor of tho Mercury, I regret it. It will certain, ly bo pleading if my explanation shall stilisfy him. If not, I mint submit with that meekness which ought always to characterise a Repretentative. Your obedient serv.inN I. E. HOLMES. f WiMar's Balsam of Wild Cherry. The f.Mowing letter from Rev.

March 2, 1815. Mr. S. W. Fuwle?Dear Sin Two years ago, the past winter, a sudden and violent attack upon iny lungs by exposure to cold, confined mc to my room and bed for several vvocks; and when I rccovo cJ. I was so much oppressed by difficulty in breathing, thai I was incapable of rapid walking and violent exercise and often was unable to sleep or rest upon a bed a' night. The suffering was frequently extreme, an; judging from tlic iricfficacy of the remedies used, I supposed the disease incurable. Being persuaded tr try a bottle of Wislar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, with out Uio least confidence in its efficacy or that of any other prescription, no one can fully understand my sur prise and joy, when I found the difficulty almost en, tircly removed before one bottle was used up. Having a mortal aversion to medicine, and seldom using it in any form, nothing but sympathy with my fcllow.suf ferers induces mc to make this public statement, ni.t recommend the article toothers similarly afflicted.
