The Black Laws The House
Friday Morning, Feb. 0. ls49.

The blaCk AhWS- buO At""SS'
The Columbus Journal. containing the
debate upon the Black Laws and the
vote upon their passage through the
House of Representatives, not having
come to hand, we avail ourselves of the
correspondence ofthe Zanesvile Courier
for an abstract of the proceedings. The
report is rather long; but as our readers
are interested in the matter, we do not
feel inclined to abridge it. '''. '''
CoLuMBUs, Monday Evening, Jan. 20,
When | entered the House this NOR
ming, the bill repeating the Black Laws
was under discussion in Committee OF
the Whole. To test the sense of the
House it was moved by Mr., Pennington,
that all be struck out after the enacting
clause. He hoped to have a unanimous
expression in favor of the BILL alf -..
Mr.. Pugh was in favor of the entire
bill He didn't believe the Black Laws
was a party question. The Wings on
this, as on all other questions. had two
faces, as their candidate for the Presi-
dency had-a Northern and Southern
aspect. The usual slang which he al
ways vomits forth. when the word Wig
is uttered. was freely expended.
The law he says was passed by some
political management. and the Democrdt'c
party wGs aiaO0ys opposed TO sfrdtdgenas,
and would repealthem. A hint asto the
nodus operGndi in obtaining his own scat.
Another remark able statement was.
that Notwithstanding the peculiar favor
extended to the blacks at the North 10
protecting runaway slaves, still they had
in Cincinnati, where the catchers were
always on ther tracks much larger pro
portion Of blacks. This was an argument
no one would have thoughtUf. ~"
Further, the Democrats had passed
the only bilhiu favor Of the Blacks On the
Statute Book.
Hewas nut. however, in favor of en-
franchising the blacks. but made this up
in his anathemas against the horrible
laws The bill was intended torepeal. - e

cided an improvement in the Democratic
a,mosphere Of the House Lit augured
well. He was obliged. however, To cor
rect a apprehension ofthe gentleman

10 COMPOUND MEDICINE ENTIRELY OF We
ErABLEs, which shall operate efectualiy, is very
great advance upon obsolete formulas of Pharma-
eeutical Science. It is only in modern times that
this important desderatum has arrived at perfec-
ton. The community had been SO long drugged
and poisoned by mineral preparations that vegeta-
bic compounds became matter of actual necessl-
~, and no remedy could expect to become popu-
lar without this essential recommendation. The
very idea of administering mineral substances is
absolutely preposterous. Nature never intended
them for that purpose. Their mode of operation
is too violent and they seldom fail to leave the sys
tenn in worse condition than they find it. The
Chckener Sugar-coated Vegetable Purgative Pills
being compounded. not merely of vegetables, but
OF their extracted juices is entirely free from this
objection. Their operation is perfectly soothing
They penetrate the minutest fibres OF the human
frame by sr dual process. and never cease liz
Their operation until every particle of seased
matter IS expelled. and every symptom of disorder

1t is perhaps difficult TO determine from
the letter of the Commissioner 10 the Regis
ter. taken IN connexion with the facts in this
case what meaning he attaches TO the word
settlement. :" but according to his decision in
thls case one thing is certain, that the fact
that Cultivated field is embraced in the tract
of land upon which land warrant is located.
IS alone sufficient to render the location lille
gal null and void.
