TAG NEw EsA says that none of the Demoer.tie
papers have published Hauison's letter to Lyons, Of
Richmond. This i, not exactly so. It has been
published BY the Louisville Advertiser, and the Rich
mond Enquirer to our knowledge. NE will publish
it when we get the letter addressed to the N. Y. COM
mittee Of which the Old Hero speaks In this letter.
By the way, can any one inform Us what has become
OF this document which was to e~nlighten rs on the
old mans views about the Bank, Aboltioni,n, &c.
In the Lyons letter, writteu at least six weeks ago,
it was stated that he supposed the N. Y. letter would
reach Richmond as soon as that would. Has Il been
sent back to the confidential committee, to strip it Of
it, Objectionable parts, or wa, there a similar injunc-
ton that it should not be published 10 the papeu?-

Deacon Marvin, of Lynn, Connecticut, a
large landholder. and an exemplary man,
was extremely eccentric in somn Of his no.
tons. His courtship, it is said, was as fol-
lows: Having one day mounted his horse,
with only a sheepskin for a saddle, he rode
in front Of the house where Betty Lee lived,
and without dismounting, requested Betty to
to him; on her coming. he told her the
Lord had sent him to marry her. Betty,

FACTS FOR SLAVE HOLDERS,


!. No wing a"emblsge Of rsspectability in the
free states has denounced the Abolitionists.
9. The National Democratic Convention at Balti.
more, in May last, condemned Abolition in strong
terms, and the whig convention sitting at the same
time and place, said nothing about it, or any thing
else.
3. A large and numerous meeting Of delegates in
convention, in Ohio, Of the Democratic party, passed
resolutions against the abolition Of slavery in the
District or the States within the last l2 months.
4. We defy any one to point to any such resolu-
lions passed by an equally respectable wing body in
any Of the free states. II can't be done.
s. A whig Legislature in New York passed an act
giving to fugitive slaves, claimed BY their masters,
the right Of trial BY jury, thus virtually annullios the
Sd Act, Sec. 2, U. S. Contribution. The wings voted
for it, and the Democrats against it The N. Y. Eve
ming Star, q leading whig paper,) says, a. to this Law
that "if such measures be adopted by whis Legisla-
lures, not . slave holding state will vote for the
whigs" .'.'
These are Q few Of the thousand undeniable fact,
to ,hew that the wings and sbolitioni,ts Of the north
are identified. At a future day We shall give Others,
and if We don't establish il to the Abstraction Of eyery
candid man, then We desire to be placed in the hands
Of q confidential committee.

the Vegetable Persian Pills that they are pre-emi-
nently the best and most cllicacious Family Medi-
cine that has yet been used in America. If every
family could become acquainted with their Sovcr

be prepared with sure remedy to apply on the frs

The Resurrection, or Persian Pills.
The nomc of these pills originated from the cir
cumstancc of the medicine being found only in the
cemetarics of Persia. This vegetable production
being Of peculiar kind led to experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues. in half CEN
tury it became an established medicine for the dis
eases of that country. The extract Of this singu-
lor production was introduced into some parts Of Eu-
rope in the year 1888, and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain Diseases where all 9TH
er medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year l792, the extract was combined with certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca, in
the East Indies, and formed into Pills. The admir-
able effect of this compound upon the human sys-
tenn, led physicians and families into its general
use Their long established character their univer-
sal and healing Writes the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the gandular
part of the system, such as will sustain their re-
putation and general use in the American Repub-
lie.

DR.. Jayne.-Dear Sir.-I feel that / can
hardly say enough to you in favor of the Hair
Tonic, prepared by you. My hair had been
railing OIL about two years, and had become
very thin, threatening speedy badness, when
i commenced using this remedy. In about
one week it ceased to fall off.
Ihave used it now about three months, and
have as full and thick head of hair as / can
possibly desire. have recommended its use
to number of my friends, who all speak
well Oft If faithfully employed, / have
no doubt of its general success. I may add,
that before using the Tonic, had tried al
most all the various articles employed for the
hair, such as the Macassar Oil, all the differ
emit preparations of Bears Oil, Vegetable
Hair Oil, &c. &c. without experiencing much,
if any benefit.
Respectfully yours, S. S. FITCH.
