1t is now settled point with all who have used
the Vegetable Persian Pills that they pre-emi-

family could become acquainted with their Sover

be prepared with remedy to apply on the frs

would be avoided and money saved, well as the
lives of thousands who are hurried out of time by

in possession of remedy which they can place de-
pendence upon.

The Resurrection, or Persian Pills.

The name Of these pills originated from the cir
cumstance of the medicine being found only in the
cemetaries 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 established medicine for the dis
eases Of that country. The extract of this singu-
Reproduction introduced into parts of Eu-
rope in the year 1888, and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain Diseases where all 9TH
or medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1872, 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 virtues, the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the gandular
part of the system, such will sustain their
putation and general use in the American Repub-
lie.

The Ne,e Hampshire Legislature convened at Con-
cord on Wednesday. The Senate was organized by
the choice Of Josiah Quincy for President, Isaac l..
Folom, Clerk and b Wiggin, Assistant Clerk. In
the House John S. Wells of Lancaster was chosen
Speaker, Harry Hubbard, Clerk, and Albert G. Aus
tin Assistant Clerk.
A friend from Concord, writes that the election OF
Mr.. Wells is triumph of the liberal locofocos or
cmconscrvatives over the ultraiss and radicals OF
the Van Buren, party"
The contest was between Mr. Wells on the part ofihe
liberals and Albert Baker whose activity in hunting
down the gallant Miller has given TO him notoricty
which he could have acquired by the lau1abe
exercise Of his talents The vote in caucus believe
stood - for Wells, and 6S for Baker and Wells hav-
ing received the nomination, the main body of the
rank and file in duty bound toed the mark, though
there were some dozen fifteen who stuck TO their
favorite. The result in caucus rather took the
wings by surprise, and they were so well sa'shed
with IT, that they did not make any very united effort

M. Webster's Lener.-The Letter of Mr.. Webster
to Mr.. Fox, and the Report Of Mr.. Ewing, highly
extoled where they have been read. They are
alone sufficient to stamp Greatness upon the brow OF
any Administration,
Mr.. Websters letter is most brilliant and tri-
umphant defence of his country II places Great Bri-
tain in the wrong, beyond all question Its lofty
American spirit, too, deserves all commendation He
not only denies the prisoner but he tells the British
Government that they will be held to rigid account
for the unwarantabe invasion OF our territory Than
the concluding passage Of his letter nothing finer
be found in the whole compass of State papers.
The true policy Of our Government never before
more eloqucntly cogenty, more faithfully
pressed, than in the following brief paragraph
"Ihis Republic does not wish TO disturb the tran
guilty of the world Its object is peace, its policy
peace. II seeks aggrandzement by foreign con
quests, because il knows that no foreign acquisition
could augment its power and Importance rapidly as
they already advancing by its own natural growth
under the propiious circumstances of it, situation But
il cannot admit that its Government has not both the
will and the power preserve It's neutrality, and
to enforce the observance of its laws upon its
citizens. 1t jealous OF its rights, and among Others
and especially Of the right ofihe absolute immuni
" OF its territory against aggressons from abroad and
these rights is the duty and the determination of this
Government fully and all times to maintain while il
will at the time, scrupulousy refrain from in
fnnging on the rights of others. "-Richmond Wing.

A CARD.

A BOLITION.---FONTA III. PETTIS,
IA Counsellor at Law, late of Virginia, having To-
Gated himself in the city of New York for eight years
last pat respectfully tenders his acknowledgements to
his friends in the South for their confidence and pat
ronage in various matters OF business, and solicits
their continuance He has had much experience, both
in this State and that of Pennsylv in causing ugi
tive slaves to be secured and will continue effect such
objects whenever called upon. His plans are so well
maured by having at his command the most efficient
aid located at different points, and successfully har-
monizlng that he cannot but fatter himself that he
will have more complete in future than hereto
fpre-indeed if clothed with full authority he can
cause any fugitive slave be secured who may be IN
the United States, north of Mason and Dixons line.
All the statutory enacmcnts OF this State on TINS SUD
iect have been pronounced unconstitutional by the
highest tribunals. 1t will therefore be seen that the
paramount all other enactments, whether State or
Federal There are thousands of fugitive slaves IN
this city and It's cnvrons and they continue to null
liply rapidly.
These being, at best, very unpopular cases in this
quarter Che having the Aholtonists, the flesh, and
the devil to contend with,) it will be necessary for
those wishing to his services To forward him
power of attorney, duly executed, and minutely de
scrptive Of the fugitive and also fee of $40, TO deray
preliminary and contingent expenses. HIS universal
charge for securing such slave is 800, and all
able expenses.
