CAIN is generally called The frs, murderer, but
some call him the first soldier others might call
him the first physician, as the three terms con
sidered Synonymous.
Frederick the Great must have destroyed a great
many thousand lives before he became so proficient
in The art of killing; yet, when in the presence of
his own physician he resigned his laures to the
NJ. D., aud surrendered all claims to superiority
over him in that department. Napoleon, in his
fatal Russian campaign, destroyed about one mil
lion of human beings, and we call him a hero I!
DR.. Brsndreths Vegetable Universal Pills have
saved the lives of at least half that number, and
when the properties of his medicine shall be duly
appreciated, he will receive the thanks of his fellow
citizens a richer gift than either titles OF crowns.
In order to secure the medicine in its purity, he
has excluded druggists from any participation in
its sale.

And there was an Angel-iortn came fitting
by, the same had seen on earth-lhe young
Mrs. p, pleading with me as she did before,
on just such night as this, when her poor
husband lay as if dead on the bunk in the
bar-room, and telling me her children were
starving at home, by the cold hearth. that
would still have shone bright as it used to
had it not been for me! | want to tell you,
Elder, did shut the door upon her that
cold night, and when heard of her death a
few weeks after, did think would not sell
her poor husband any mole run, but coming
in as lie was returning from her funeral, he
looked SO frendless, l thought glass would
drown his sorrows, and so he drank I'LL one
cold night he persisted"
"And there was CT am not telling a
dream," said the dying man, with a
look of agony which can never forget-''it
is reality Il have felt the scorpion ,stings
OF the worm that dielh not Il have seen
the dashings CT the fiery lake Il have heard
the groans that break the silence Of despair
- there were G., and NJ, and c., whose ia
miles | have beggared whose lands and
houses took for the rum | sold them
They came TO me and said had dug their
graves and murdered their souls - and my
tWo sons, whom laid in manhood in Won
der graveyard, as if my torlures were not
enough, came and called me father. and
cursed me Tor having taught them TO drink.
Oh 1t is bad business TO live upon The groans
and signs of ruined men - to hoard up gold

Vermont and New Hampshire seem de-
lerlnined not 10 be outrun by their sister
States with steam-cars. A meeting was
held at Athol, Ms. on the 2lst ult. About
1000 delegates were present. The Wind
ham County Democrat says, deficient
measures were taken to procure charter
from the Legislature of Massachusetts, at
its coming session, for road from Fitch
burg 10 the south line of this State, by way
Of Miler's river, and TO obtain subscriptions
for stock, releases of lands" &c. The
general opinion seemed to be that the road
would be commenced Immediately.
A Convention was held at Keene, N. H.
Dec. 81. The people of that region mani

place on your ticket, the names of men who
have belonged to taro political parties TIC
this will say, do not think there is in
reality a difference Of opinion between most
men of the two great parties, on the Tariff
or Bank, or any other question of finance,
TO warrant quarrelng about them over the
PROSTATE body of human freedom. believe
with Cassius NJ. Clay, that the people OF
the North should unite with the patriotic OF
the South, against the usurpalions OF slave
ry.
That James G. Birney and Thomas
Morris will be elected TO these offices, do
not expect. But If the concentration Of votes
on them will prevent the election Of slave
holders, or the advocates Of slavery, an
important point will be gained For altho'
the party defeated in consequence of this
movement may scold little, they will be
induced TO bring forward different candid
ates next time. And although political
action against slavery, has not that import
ance attached 10 it, in my mind, that many
attach to it, Yet it has SO much that believe
it should be attended to by all who 60
10 the polls on any occasion. Public senti-
ment must back up or sustain this action, in
order TO have it avail much. And believe
political action has something TO do In
forming this public sentiment: We see it
so on other subjects; and why is it not so
in regard TO this =? believe that so long
as men need civil regulations, so long will
it lie our duty to aid in elecling men who
will discharge their duties on principles of
righteousness.

ReIiglous Men and politics.

The following remarks, from the New
Haven Courier, are pertinent and just.
Why should the good refuse to join in
measures which tend 10 benefit the Coun-
try, and to affect lis deslinies for all COM
ing time! Ministers and pious people
have stood aloof from politics, till the ve-
ry name has become synonymous with
party squabbles, aud party spoils; while
the wicked have taken the foremost rank
and gone up into The councils of the Ma.
tion 10 make her laws and 10 put them in
execution. Things are changing. Re-
IIgion begins TO feel she has something 10
do with trade, and business and politics.
Aud when her holy influence shall per.
wade all the affairs of towns and States and
Nations, the golden age will have COM
mcnced. The times call loudly for the
united action of good. The storm of
public opinion is beating hard against the
strong bu. rembin2 arm of oppression
and Injustice. 1t will fall nerveless soon T.,
ifthe faithful and the true hearted and the
pious come 10 the rescue, and struggle
heart and hand in the mighty conflict of
right against wrong. We ask none 10
desert their prayer-hallowed altar, but
nerved and strengthened, let them 90 out
from those kneeIing places, with burning
hearts and guiIeIess lips, in prayer and
battle for the redemption Of their country
from sin and wrong.

The subjects on which I differ
from the anti-slavery party, are diff
ferences Of Judgment, from the con-
victions Of my own understanding,
over which have no control. But
perhaps I am with the anti-slavery
party more neatly than any other in
