IN 1T CANNOT BE DENIED,
i OR truth is mighty, that DIR. Leidy's SARSAPA-
RIILA is the purest, strongest and most effcacous
of any other preparation of Sarsapara that is made.
It IS warranted to be stronger than six bottles Of
most Others stronger than four of some, and stronger
than three of the strongest prepared by any other in
the United States IJ ~ i1o3.a 3,a II
Dr. Leldy's Sarsaparilla is recommended BY all
respectable physicians in preference to any other.
An who have ever used it have derived more benefit
from one bottle than three to ten Of others; and
those who, after having used preparations with
out benefit, will use Dr.Leidy's, will soon be con-
WINGED as thousands have already been) of the fore
going assertion.

used in his preparation of Sarsaparila prepared
the only enc in the United States, imported by DIR.
Ieidv himself from the celebrated house of Pelleter
81 Cayentou in Paris, at great expense, and is
pable of extracting the medicinal virtues of Sarsa
parilla and other roots efectually than by any
other process
Al several hundred certificates of, remarkable
cures, and recommendations from clergymen and
physicians have been from time to time published

TO THE ABOLITIONLSTS AND LIBER-
TY MEN OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY.

FeHoav CHiyens,-We have no design,
and feel it would unbecoming to assume
the office of teachers, while addressing
persons our equals, if indeed not our su-
periors, in age, knowledge and experience.
The task, upon the performance Of which
we are about to enter, will consist chiefly
if not exclusively in the presentation OF a
few well attested facts, and such comments
upon, or deductions from them, as may
accord with reason; and, therefore, be wor-
thy the consideration, Of discriminating
and disciplined minds, Believing that
truth "needs not the aid of ornament" it
is our wish, and shall be our object, to ex-
hibit it in as simple dress as possible.
The decided opposition Of most, if not
of all Of us, for a series Of years to the sys-
tenn Of slavery, which exists in the south
ern States, is known, we apprehend, TO the
community generally. TO that system we
are as hostile HOV, 10th in sentiment and
feeling, as we have ever been; and the
hostility must continue, in full force and
vigor, while we are competent to appreci-
ate the sublime truths Of Revelation, or
comprehend the true import Of the immor,
lal "Declaration of Independence"
That a great political crisis now exists,
pregnant with immense good or evil to the
country, every man Of common discern
ment must be aware "coming events cast
their shadows BEFORE" that the wise and
prudent may prepare for circumstances yet
to be developed. When threatening clouds
foretel the coming storm, the wary mariner
furls his sails. Should not his wise exam
/ pie be followed ly the patriot, the states
man and the philosopher. You have doubt
less, examined the different positions Of the
: present political parties. May we Inquire
to what conclusions you have cowel You
must be aware that the only Formidable
competitors in the field, fo the highest Of
fee in the gift Of The people, are Eenry
