BRANDRETH'S PILLS.

TRUTH AKIN TO NATURE.--Have you pain ?
DC thankful IT is vigorous effort of Nature throw
ter arisc' From a bruse, or unwholesomc air which
has become mixed with the blood not incorporated in H.
but which is liable to faint the whole If spccd
~ removed. Or the pain may arise from bile which
has become bad, rancid putrd in consequence Of the
want OF power in the proper organs TO discharge it,
This pain which frghtcns people is only the symp
toms of the efforts of Nature or the vital principle of
the blood,) TO expel the PEcANr or IMPURE matter
which would otherwise destroy the human fabric. All
diseases are oil the solids fluids, BOTH When we
have pain in our head, in foot in our throat or
IN our back or bowels let us but be satisfied that it
produced by the efforts of blood throw off morb
fic matter and if this be so, il we but believe and
understand this be easy and rally sure
For our course will then be to help Nature throw off
the morbid matter, not to take away the blood. For
the blood, EVERY DROP WE HAVE ED TO IN
SURE ULTIMATE HEALTH to the body. We must not
lose drop: neither must we any medicines inter
nally which are not perfectly harmless, if applied cx
ternaliy to the body.-So not use any of the
preparations Of mercury neither must we use any ycgc
table medicine Of CORROSIVE Power.

eternal and conjecture, which is like transient vision

DiSuniOniStS Paving Taxes.


Those who unwillingly pay taxes, or from
whom property is taken in lieu Of payment,
do, to a certain extent, support the govern
ment which siezes upon their property, but
such support is involuntary, and therefore not
criminal, whatever may be the character of
the government which is guilty of the act.-
To use a familiar illustration, robbery upon
the highway is no more robbery than that
committed by the government in the exactlon
of taxes. The only difference is this: one is
legalized robbery, the other illegal; one is
done by a powerful organization calling it.
self the United States government, the other
by a private individual. If it may be justly
said that a man supports highway robbery by
being robbed of his pocket-book and purse,
then does the unwilling payer of taxes sup
port the government which takes them from
him.
We know of no Disunionist who desires 10
contribute of his means to sustain the govern
ment, or who willingly does it. But a tax is
levied upon his property, in common with
the property of all others, and the demand is
made, "your money or your %life,' or rather,
"your money, or your life and your money!
Forcible resistance avails him not; he may
die in defense of his property, but if he does,
the tax will nevertheless be exacted. The
only question he is left to decide is, whether
his hand, or the hand of the tax-gatherer shall
take the money from his pocket. His decis-
ion of this does not affect the principle in
volved, and in neither case does he sanction
or countenance in the remotest degree the 60
vernmenI whose agent robbed him. As well
might it be said that the man who is DOOM
ed to death upon the gallows sanctions the
system of capital punishment. for without
culprits there would be no hanging.
If England should, without any provoca-
ton, declare war upon this country, land her
troops at Cleveland, and carry fire, desolation
and death throughout Ohio, and if her troops
should come to our querist, take his wheat
and corn and bacon for their support, attach
his horses to their cannon and make army
beet OF his cows, would these actions on the
part OF the British involve him in the ruilt of
countenancing or sanctioning that war of ar-
erosion True, it may be said that the
property thus taken by the British troops goes
to support the British government in this war
fare; and so the money collected by the tax
gatherer supports this government, but as the
former is involuntary aud implies no sanction
Of the war, So the latter cannot be tortured
into an, approval Of the government establish
ed over US.

Yours truly for the slave,
That g Protest.

In the Bugle of The 29th of August, | OBJ
serve a Protest, signed LYDIA IRISH. Imar-
vel at its appearance in the Bugle. The au-
thoress must have forgotten when she was
sending it forth to the world, that she, at that
very meeting of the Society, to which refer
ence is made in her Protest, made a motion
for the Society to take one copy of the New
York Tribune, the organ Of the Wing party
and the advocate of Wing principles through
out the country a party which has joined
the Democratic party in carrying on a ma
rauding expedition againstweak and distract
ed Mexico, for the purpose Of extending and
perpetuating slavery.
How much the authoress was governed
by principle in publishing her protest may
be ascertained by knowing that she made the
following declaration, viz THAT if the So
ciety agreed to take three copies of the True
American, she would leave it'-but as il
had taken only two copies, she would remain
in the Society clearly demonstrating that
she was not governed by an abiding princi-
pie of moral rectitude, but a disposition to
carry her point over the heads of a majority
Of the Society.
If there was any prostitution Of the funds
of the Society in subscribing for the True
American, there certainly would nave been
in subscribing for the New York Tribune.
80! consistency, thou art a jewel"
In reading the Protest, the following lines
of Byron were torcibly brought to my mind
"'ris pleasant sure, TO see ones name in
print;
A books a book, although there S nothing
int"

public may know how to estimate tho cha.

An Incident at Bedford Springs Pa.

G.. ]. Faulkner, Esq, and family of Viz
GINA, were at the Springs with u female
servant a few days since. AS soon as it was
known that she was a slave, the Abolition
lists set TO work to induce her to make her es-
cape, for which they had furnished the me-
cessary means. After much persuasion for
some days, or rather nights. she was induced
to depart, when she was conducted to a set
Element about ten miles of. As soon as she
began TO realize her new position, instead of
being satisfied with it, she resolutely de-
termined 10 return TO her mistress, which she
did in opposition to The strongest entreaty of
her new friends. On her arrival at the
Springs, she implored forgiveness for her
conduct, which was readily granted. Mr..
+. then offered her her freedom, and money
TO 90 where she pleased, which she refused,
saying she wanted no other home than what
she has already had. The next day, Mr.. f.
and family then left for their home in Vir-
ginia, with the female servant in attendance
upon the children, as gay as a buck, reioic-
ing IN her escape from her new TO her old
fIlends.-RichmCnd Uhig.

Church Action.

maNEoR, August ~, 1910
To the Editors of the Anti Slavery Bugle.
FRIENDS:
Though a stranger, the lively interest which
] feel in the cause you plead, induces ME to
address a brief note to you. To me the
signs of the times are extremely propitious.
In this immediate vicinity at least, there new
er has been a time when anti-slavery senti-
ment gained ground like the present. The
sin, the shame, and the evils of Slavery are
alike descanted upon by the Politician and
the moralist. They form the fruitful theme
of social intercourse and everyday converse
ton. And it is one of those subjects upon
which the child as well as the philosopher
can be eloquent.
Bot whatl wish particularly to commuui-
cate is, the stand which the Disciples in this
place have recently taken. After having
discussed the subject both publicly and pri-
vately in its different bearings, they did, on
Thursday last adopt unanimously this resolu-
ton, to wit
THAT we will have no christian or church
fellowship with Shareholders or their apollo
gishs.'
Perhaps some viii think that | am placing
too high an estimate upon the adoption oil
this resolution. Rut let it be remembered
that this is an act Of the Church, not of
few individuals, but the entire Body. On
this account we consider it especially impor-
tdnt. We are told that the fate Of the Ro-
man Empire was once determined by the
Irifing incident that Caesar had passed the
Rubicon."
This event, however trifing, determined
the course Of that mighty warrior. We 100,
