yueSsrs Sands
Gentlemen: Parental feelings induce to make
the following statement of facts in relation to- the
important of our little daughter, wholly effected
by the of Sands's SarsaParla. For nearly three
years she was afflicted with most inveterate erup-
ton the body, which at times was so bad, connect
ed with internal disease, that we despaired of her
life. The complaint commenced in the roots of the
hair, and gradually spread until the whole head was
eyeloped and then it attacked the ears, and down
the neck, and continuing to increase, until 1t covered
the most Of the body. 1t commenced with small
pimple or pustule, from which water at first dis
charged this produced great itching and burning
then matter or pus formed, the skin cracked and
bed, and the pus discharged freely. The suferings
of the child were great as almost wholly to pre-
vent natural rest and the odor from the discharges
so offensive, to make it difficult to pay that partc-
ular attention the nature of the case required The
disease called Scald Head and general Salt
Rheum We tried various remedies, with little ben.
eft and considered her almostbeyond the reach
Of medicine; but from the known virtue of your
Sarsaparilla, we were induced to give it a trial
Before the first bottle was all used, we perceived
an Improvement in the appearance of the eruption
but the change rapid for the better, that we
could scarcely give credence to the evidence of our
own eyes. We continued its use for few weeks,
and the result is perfect cure. To parents we
would say-If you have children sufeling with any
disease Of the skin, use Sands's Sarsaparilla With
feelings of gratitude and respect we are yours sc.

the advice of my friends, | called two of the most
eminent physicians of the place, who recommended
your preparation of Sarsaparila, knowing OF nothing

THE STATE CONVENTION.

"We have heretofore said as little as possible
about our party dssentions in this State, with an
ardent wish that something might transpire which
would heal them; but continued and relentless
persecution on the part OF few caucuslng wire
work ers, against the main party in the State,
seem 10 cut off all hope OF any thing but COLI.
sion. If nothing else will do, let it come. We,
for one, prefer honorable defeat, to dshonora-
BILE triumph; we advocate principles, not men;
and now that the convention is over, which is
one thing, the action OF the people which is yet
TO come, will be found 10 be another the people
will not sustain the men who have been nomi
mated, under the present circumstances; the rea.
sons are obvious. The nominees Of the meta
rious screw caucus system, which formed such a
discrcdtable apex at Jefferson City recently, are
the men in connexion with their friends, who
have denounced and unchurched thousands Of as
good democrats as the old revolution itself could
boast OF; they have repudiated them, marked
them out, and called them aiders and abeters Of
the enemy; pronounced them traitors, and while
assembled in convention this same clique clan,
in more instances than one, let their zeal for pro-
scliption out leap their sense Of propriety. We
recollect when the name Of the Hon. Jas. M.
Hughes was put in nomination for Congress,
some one Of their unto arose in his place and
enquired with bitterness and malice, II Mr.
Hughes "did not preside as chairman OF an anti
clique meeting in Clay County" If we had had
a voice in that convention We should have an
swered that Jas M. Hughes was chairman of q
meeting of high minded and honorable democrats
Of Clay county, any one Of whom would scorn
to answer such an insoent question.
Another incident occurred which proved with
what relentless hostility other veteran democrats
were pursued as well as Mr.. Hughes.
A certain gentleman was put in nomination by
his friends for nominal office; after which, by
arrangement one Of the little strikers, who could
not be elected dog pelter. for any village in the
State, arose and asked, if this gentleman who
was nominated, did not once run for the State
Senate against a regular nominee-it was an:
swered by another ofthe same class in the firm
alive, which by the way, was false. 1t is very
well known that this same gentleman whose
name was then under consideration, had grown
grey in the service Of the party, has spent more
time and money in the cause Of democracy, than
any other man in the northwest: his friends did
not see proper to let him be barked at in this
manner, and Withdrew his name. This was the
spirit which marked every step in the progress oil
the convention. We could not sanction such
proceedings then, nor can we now, come what
will"

INDIAN DANCE.

Our citizens were treated with something new
in the way Of show, last Tuesday evening"
Messrs. J. and B. Garrett, OF Boonvile, passed
through this place, with number OF Buffalo,
twelve Warriors and two Squa,os, Of the Usage
Tribe Of Indians. which they design exhibiting
through the Western and Southern States, during
the coming summer and winter. The Buffalo
nor Indians were no curiosity here, but will
doubtless be in the section OF country where
they are going. The War Dance was both anu.
sing and entertaining, and will well repay any
person for the time and money it costs 10 witness
it. The Indians were handsomely dressed and
painted-the best order preserved--and gentle
men and ladies who wish TO visit them may rest
assured that everything connected with the exhi.
bi:ion will be conducted with decency and deco
rum.
They left here on Wednesday for Paris-will
go from there to Quincy, Jacksonville, and
Springfield, through to Terre Haute, Indiana.

HONEST ABOLITION SENTIMENTS.

Our Free Colored Citizens have never fail
ed to discriminate between the true and the
false friends of Abolition. With this class of
citizens the cause of Emancipation is too sa-
cred to be tri6ed or tralficked with. But it is
widely different with those who espouse the
cause Of Anti-Slavery, as some do get row.
commission and living, and with others who
organize ''Llberty Party" TO obtain.-if not
ofice-the honor of running for office.-No-
body fathoms the objects of these men so
readily as the Colored People, for the reason
that nobody else watches their movements
SO close or are so deeply interested in pro-
noting the REAL principles of Emancipa-
ton.
The Northern STAR" a paper published
and edited by men of Color, closes an article
in relation to the course and objects of the
"Lberty Party as follows:
I'VE have now briefly examined the means
so far as we have been able TO discover them,
by which the Liberty Party aims to abolish
slavery. For the reasons given, we do not
believe the means can accomplish the aims.
One word as to the measures of the Liberty
Party. We predicted, in the columns of the
Colored American. some years ago that this
political party would fail TO abolish slavery,
because 1t has changed the issue,-has forsak-
! en- anti-slavery, and adopted for self The
party aims at-not the abolition of slavery
but .be possession of office, as its primary OBJ
iect with them. Office, being the primary
object, necessarily absorbs their greatest la
Dor, and ,chat prerents them from getting into
office, is the immediate or secondary field of
their labors.
1.-The wing party, because it has the good
fortune 10 do some anti-slavery work-there-
by forestalIing Liberty party work-has come
in for the special favor Of the Liberty Party.
We believe that the Liberty men hate Wing
gerry, more than they hate Slavery and they
love office more than they love anti-slavery.
1--WE feaf these office-seeking Liberty men."
We doubt the sincerity of men who can make
the bleeding hearts of suffering slaves. and
the sympathies which those slaves excite, a
means by which they shall crafty their vault
ing ambition. And we speak in this matter.
the views of a very large proportion of the
free colored people Of the free states.

more persons than have witnessed any preVl-
Gus debate during the session.
Mr. McDuffiie writhed in seeming agony
of spirit and body under the charges of dis
union and notification made by MIR. Benton,
and when Mr.. Benton said he would meet
him at PhiIlippi in his efforts to destroy the
Union, and not as here, with his voice and
and his pen, but sword in hand, to die If need
be in defence of the Union, murmur OF
applause run through the galleries which
nothing could restrain.
The rebuke was just and terrible and the
position of Mr.. Benton noble one that VIII
cover multitude of sins All he SAID was
for the UNION and for this out Of doors he IS
q traitor TO HIS party
When Mr.. Benton said, he would meet the
Disunionists at Phillippi, General Clinch Of
Georgia, whole hearted man went to Mr..
Benton and said in the fullness ola patriotic
heart that he would be there with him
When Mr.. Benton left his seat he took
John Quincy Adams, who was seated behind
him, by the hand and said "Mr. Adams you
are passing off the stage, and l am passing
away also, but while we live, ace aoiH stand by
THE UNION" This is the language OF true
heroism and Mr.. Benton has given abundant
evidence of the truth of his feelings and reso-
lutions. E. b.

WASHINGTON. June Is.


CLOSING SCENES OF THE CoNFUsIoN.-
Every thing has been hurried to the last few
days of the session, and it is doubtful now
what will pass and what will be lost in tranSitu
between the two Houses, and what thrown
upon the next session Of Congress. Every
thing is hurry, hustle, and confusion. The
galleries are crowded with spectators, the lob
bies full of people entreating Congress, in the
name of mercy and justice, to hear their just
petitions, and everything upon the surface
looks like inextricable confusion. An escape,
however, will. no doubt, be found, and all
the General Appropriation bills may be con-
sidered as. passed. Never did see so little
method or dignity of legislation as in the
House ofRepresentatives. Many ofthe men,
bers are absent from the city,-sOme are leav-
ing by every conveyance, and it is difficult TO
keep quorum of members present in the
House. Some Of the young members are
more troublesome than useful, and others
thinking more of "Buncombe" than sober
legislation. The Chairman of the Ways and
Means, upon whom the work falls hardest,
and who Is not in good health, looks like one
afflicted, and Members who cannot bring the
House to act upon their own measures, seem
to be sour and disappointed. Two-thirds of
the bills reported during the session will not
be acted upon, and yet three-fourths of the
business done during the session will have
been done during the present. week.
Thursday, both Houses were in session uu-
til IL O'Clock, and so again on Friday. The
Senate had cleared off all the great appropri-
alton Bills by 8 o'clock last evening, and re-
turned them all to the House, with various
amendments. Two hours and more also has
been given to Executive business, in which,
amidst aeOntest that sometimes ptthrough
the key-holes, many nominations were reject
ed many confirmed, and many submitted.
The Senate has been scene Of an exciting
discussion on the Texas question. There
has been sparring difference between Mr..
Benton and McDuffie. The fight was fierce
one, and MIR. Benton has denounced the Ex-
ecutive and his schemes, including the Sec
retaIy of State, as guilty Of piracy and trea-
son, in clandestinely sending part of the
fleet and navy to the borders of Texas and
Mexico.

THE WINGS OF MISSOURI.

The letter of our CORE pendent below
furnishes gratifying description of the
Wing Convention of Ratification which
assembled at 81. Louis on the Sd Of June.
The ReveiIle, neutral paper, contains the
following account Of the same Conven
ton:
According TO announcement, the va.
rious delegations met the clubs Of the
city at 10 o'clock, OH Fourth street. and
from thence, making turns through all the
principles streets, the whole body, with
their glittering banners, insignia and en-
biems, marched ont to ST. LOUIS Park.
Vehicles. containing family parties from
tho surrounding country, rolled through
the streets. stopping at one corner TO see
the procession pass, and then hurrying TO
another, to view the pageant again. Hur.
rahs resounded along the line. handker.
chiefs waved from doors, windows, baIco,
mics and carriages, and The delegations
shouted again and again, raising their hats
in gallant acknowledgement 10 the smiles
and cheers of The spectators.
The ST. Louis New Era contains a de
tailed account of the proceedings. MANY
eloI' Ell speeches were made, and the Con,
vention broke up with twelve cheers for
Clay and Frelinghuysen.
