be at the same time productive of good to the
orphans OF the fallen soldiers. Its proposed
to found literary institution for the educa-

~ The State election in Michigan is be-
iieved, from the returns received, TO have re-
suited in the choice of the Wing candidate
Tor Governor, Mr.. Woodbridge, and also in
the return of majority of Wings to both
branches of the Legislature. This is tri-
umph we had not calculated on.
The New York election has given TO the
Wings majority in both branches of
the Legislature-eight i'll the Senate, and
eight in the House of Representatives. We
believe it is certain that Gen. Root is elected
to the Senate from the third district, but only
by one or two of majority. Every branch
OF the State Government is now in the hands
of the Wings, and the almost unrestraned
rule of the Albany Regency, for near twenty
years, completely broken up. This is truly a
glorious event, and well calculated to rein
spire the Responding with fresh hopes of the
Republic.
The election for State officers in Massachu-
sets has been very close, in consequence of
the excitement produced by the five gallon
law--the odinm of which the Wing party,
being in rule, have had to bear. There is
some doubt whether Gov. Everett is re-clect-
cd, and the political complexion of the Legis-
lature is uncertain. The old bay State, how
ever, on federal politics, We have no fear will
present an unbroken front.

him In England, and is bound to return him

There the matter now rests. The claim was
first made yesterday.-N. J. Despatch.

SEV'E.N' RE.qS0.N'S WHY
DIR. LEIDY'S

SARSAPARILLA BLOOD PILLS,
&SHOULD receive apreference over all Pills now
- in existence:
First--Because they are composed of Vegetable
extracts, free from minerals; and may be taken at
all times with perfect safety by young and old, with
out restraint from occupation, temperate living, or
fear of taking cold.
Second-Bccause they are composed of such
medicinal extracts, as have been employed by all
the most celebrated and respectable Physicians for
more than a century past in purifying the Blood
and Animal fluid of the body.
Third-Becauso they may be employed as a
mild or active purgatve, according 10 the quantity
taken, and their operation will not be attended with
gripping of the bowels, sickness at the stomach,
prostraton of the system, Sc, are produced by
other pills.
Fourth-Because they possess combined action,
not possessed by any other pills, mixture or prepar-
alton whatever. Their first effect is in correcting
all impurities with which the blood and fluids oi
the body may be affected, and by their gently opera
tive effect, removing such impurities from the sys-
| TEN.
! Fifth-Becauso they are the terror of Quacks
and Imposters for most persons are obliged to take
the Sarsaparia Blood Pills. after taking their vile
and destructive nostrums, to couneract and prevent
their mschcvons and baneful effects.
| Sixth--Because they are the only pills in which
| PHYSICIANS have sufficient confidence to recommend
to their patients, and employ in their practice, as
they know they are Anti Quack, Anti Mercural
Anti Bilious as well as good and safe purgative
and purifier of the Blood and Animal Fluids.
Seventh and last-But not the least important
be because they are prepared by a regular Apothe'
cary and Physician, attested Dy Drs. Physlc, Hor
ner, Chapman, Devices, James, Gibson Jackson
Coke, Hare, &C., &c, which alone is sufficient tC
cntite them to great confidence.
Certificates and Recommendations from Physl

TO MOTHERS.

Messrs. z. Chase S o.-Gents.-Heaung
much said about the extraordinary effects Of the
Resurrection or Persian Pills, upon those about to
become mothers we were induced to make trial of
them. Ny wife was at that time the mother of five
children, and had suffered the most tedious and ex-
cruciating pains during and after her confinement
of each. She had tried every means and taken
much medicine but found little or no relief. She
commenced taking the Persian Pills about three
months before her confinement cher health being
ry poor about this length of time previous) and in
short time she was enabled by their to attend to
the cares of mother TO her family until her con-
finement. At the time she commenced taking the
Persian Pills, and for several weeks previous, she
was afflicted with a d,y hard cough and frequent
severe cramps which the use Of the Pills entirely
removed before using half box 1t is with the
greatest confidence that we advise all those about to
become mothers to make use of the Persian Pills.
All those that have taken them in our neighbor-
hood have got along in the same easy manner, and
are about the house in a few days There does not
appear to be half the danger of other dangers setting
in after confinement where these Pills are taken.-
We unitedly Jet none neglect taking them, fol
they in the reach of the poor as well as the rich
We are truly thankful that there is a remedy which
females easily procure which tends to lessen th
world of suffering, which many Of them have to bear
and perhaps save the lives of thousandswhich woull
otherwise be lost.
