under the laws of that State he could not collect by al

appointed delegate 10 the Baltimore Convention; and
when he haG deposited his vote for Clay an officer Of
Baltimore tapped HIM on the shoulder, and arrested him
as an absconding debtor-and he accordingly paid up
rather than go 10 jail! This is the last whg victory

touched by Peters Worm Lozenges, these destruc-
cadaverous cheeks, blue lips, and unhealthy appe-
titles betoken the existence of worms, will soon re-
gain all the rosy charms Of childhood under the in
hlence of this nfallible specific. Many Of the YER
mifuges in use are less destructive TO the child
than the disease, and not unfrequently ruin the gen.
disorder. This can never be the case as regards Pc
