4 WER PI4LS.-No medicine ever earned
- for itselfa higher reputation in SO short a
time, as has the Liver Pill, discovered and com
pounded by DR.. M'Lane, Of Virginia. Although
but short time comparatively before the public,
it has already earned for isefa degree of popuari
ty hitherto unsurpassed. The demand for them
has become immense. Messrs. Kidd & Co. the
proprietors of the medicine, who reside in Pitts
burg, corner Of 4th and Wood streets, are constant
ly receiving orders which they find it almost i'm
possible to supply. The popularity of these Pills
is not confined to any particular section of the
country. the demand being general, from the
North, South, East and West. The truth is,
no disease is more common in all quarters of the
United States than that of the Liver. And these
Pills are the best remedy ever yet discovered for
Hepatic arrangement.
The above pills can be had at the following pla-

VERMONT TESTIMONY.

No. 48 Union Street, Boston, April Is, 1876.
Mr. Seth w. Fowle-Sr: A sense of graft
tude to you, and Of duty to the public prompts
me to make the following statement, which if Of
any service to you is entirely at your disposal. 1t
may have the effect to induce some other sufferers
to make trial of your invaluable medicine, which
can truly say has literally snatched me from
the grave to which was fast Fastening. Last
July was attacked by sudden cold, which re-
suited in very severe cough, with violent pains
in the side and chest From that time began to
waste away. notwithstanding | was under the
treatment nf skilful physicians. They prescribed
for me in vain. | became SO much reduced that
my friends frankly told me that must die, and
that was liable to do so at any hour. At this
crisis heard of Wistay's Balsam Of Wild Cherry,
by way of neghbor, whose life had been saved
by it, and Immediately sent for bottle. The eff
feet produced was indeed wonderful. My physi-
clan, one of the most respectable in Boston, who
had previously told me cure was hopeless, came
in, and informed him what | had taken, and
told him the good effects had experienced. He
examined the Basam, and tod me to continue the
use of it; since which time have continued to
improve daily; and the same physician who had
given me up entirely, told me few days since,
that might yet live many years. feel that
am now recovered, and gaining strength every
day. MARY ROWE.
We can cheerfully testify to the truth Of the
above statement, Mrs. Rowe having been an in
mate of our family for some months past.

= We copy from the Southern Bonner

20 We copy from the Southern Banner, a
Georgia print the following notice of the speech
of ex-Gov. McDowELL. The remarks were
made in reference to one of the numerous COM
plimentary notices taken Of that speech.
ave have no doubt that the above encomium
is well merited, nor have we any of the extraor-
binary facts therein stated. We find a similar
tribute paid to the distinguished orator from ma
ny different sources. The occasion was I'M
questionably, calculated to draw forth FROM the
gifted spirits of our country, the most powerful
strains of eloquence. We are reioiced to find
that a noble son of the Old Dominion, and a
member of the democratic party, has been found
equal TO the emergency.
Whilst we are astonished and enraptl1red BY
those lofty qualities, which cannot only hush
the storm of party strife, but battle the cheeks
OF grave and manly Legislators in tears, we are
also admonished, by the facts, Of the danger
which inpends over the Union. These tears
warn us solemnly, that the patient is '!sick unto
DEATH" When Winthrop dissolves in tears las
diately after The speech) danger is at hand
Whether his heart softened by the manly appeal,
will disown the crime which is about to apply
the torch to the magnificent temple, and stay the
hand of the incendiary, has yet to be seen
But whatever may be the permanent results
of this mastery effort of the eloquent Virgnian,
one fact attending it must not be overlooked
He occupies the same position in regard to the
proper course of action, on the slavery question,
as does the Hon, Howell COBB. Both of them
breathe the same lofty attachment to the Union
of the States in its moments of greatest peril.
Although true Il the .Son,tl az the needle to the
pole, they will not despair of the Union until
another and mighty effort is made to save it.
In McDowelPs soul we find the reflex of that of
our own highly gifted and faithful representa-
tive. Men are differently constituted Some
hope on till the last breath of the beloved OBJ
ject has fled, and are overwhelmed with amaze
ment and grief at its dissolution$ whilst others
foresee the catastrophe and prepare to meet it.
1t is, perhaps, part of the Divine economy,
that men should be thus diversely constituted,
for the purpose of accomplishing the same ends
Mcdowell or Cobb could reach the heart even
of fanaticism ITSELF in the present moment of
peril which it has brought upon the Union. But
their appeals would be vain, but for the stern
purpose of resistance made known by the ma
jority of southern members. Let us, then, not
deal in elimination OF recrnnination upon the
different courses OF our democratic brethren, but
persuade Themselves, that they are but Sharmo-
ny not understood yet all working to the dou-
bic end of preserving our rights of property and
the integrity of our magnificent Union"

INTERESTING FROM CALIFORNIA.

Letters from San Francisco to the Oath of De-

latter islands are fast becoming deserted, and il

AS to the chances for obtaining the precious

purchased gold dust for about $40 the ounce

THE PopE.-Ihe Constituent Assembly Of
Rome has, by formal decree, deposed the Pope
'from the temporal government OF the Roman
States''-but guarantees to him, independence
and the exercise of his spiritual power" After
the scenes hieh have TRANSFERRED at Rene, we
suspect that he will hardly tust himself within
the limits OF the new Roman Republic. We see
no chance for his restoration to temporal power;
unless by the forcible intervention OF some for
work which would probably involve the whole
of Europe in war. The people of Rome un-
doubleday posse IS the right to establish repub-
