We think it but due to Dr. Wisar that we should

We are personally acquainted witt. many persons
who have experienced immense relief from the use of
this medicine when labourng under the diseases above
mentoned and as in the changeable climate of Cana
da these diseases are more than usually common any
medicine calculated to counterfeit them must be of va
lue.

ing SALE and has been very generally and beneicialy
used since its introduction into Canada three wears ago
and the very fact of its having stood the test of three
wears experiences proofo its value

BRANDRETEPS PILLS, AND THE BODY'S
WASTE-To those candid men who honestly doubt
the truth of the Brandrethan System, would enreat
them to ponder well upon the following facts
The food taken into the stomach is converted into
blood which vital stream flowing through all the ram
fcatons Of the system, only mpars strength and
connuaes life, but actually creates forms and builds up
each and every part of the animal machine. Ii the
blood therefore is pure and healthy, the body which is
formed and supported by the blood cannot be diseased
But there be in any part of the body any affection, such
as bile or ulcer even bruise, the blood circulating
through that part takes up impure matters from the local
affection and carries it into the general SYSTEM This
is the often of sudden death persons of full hab
it, afflicted with bies, and who use no medicine
the matter gets into the circulating system and chokes
up the fine blood vessels which supply the brain with
vitality, and life ceases if bereft by lightning Now
this can be remedied-he Brandreth Pills will fused
at these times take out all impure matters from the cir
cuation and the general health at the same time
they curing the local affections.
Oh how important it is to now find that this subject
be well comprehended it would save many from ted-
times OF sickness, and often their services
to their friends, when otherwise the tomb would have
its victim.

The New York Commercial Advertiser, we are glad

also expresses its readiness to acquesce in the conunc

though considers the Southern opposition the indie
pendent admission of California unreasonable oppo-
sition and founded in unjustifable hostility
generous distrus STILL reflects that there is such
opposition opposition that s within the limits OF
the Constitution that may be continued long the

mission of California and possibly secure, nevertheless,
the admission of the Territories" And it declares
practical conclusion thus:
We as lockers on, as sufferers by the expense and

CALIFORNIA.

The United States mail steamship Ohio arrived
at New Orleans, from Chagres, Tuesday week,
bringing ninety-four passengers from the latter
port, and upwards of one million OF dollars IN
gold. Her intelligence from California has been
anticipated by recent arrivals at New York. Some
particulars, however, gathered by the New Orleans
papers from those of San Francisco, are worthy
of present notice. And, first amongst these, our
attention is attracted by the following account of
a legal proceeding touching subject of very ge-
neral interest just now:
We find (says the Pcayune) in the Alta California
of the 10th of February curious account OF an affair
at San Francisco involving the right OF master to hold
the slave there The MASTER who had carried the negro
there previous to the formation Of the State constitu-
ton attempted to correct him. The negro resisted
The bysanders nteered and took both parties before
the magistrate, when the white man claimed property
in the negro and commended that the State constitution
only abolished slavery prospectively The existing
vered in, would have brought up the other intricate
questions, whether slavery being abolished by the Mex
law, that law s not in conflict with the rights Of
protection to American property, which coexistent
with the constitution OF the United States. The mags-
trate seemed to hold this view and discharged the white
man, and ordered the black into custody to await the
orders OF his owner. he supreme Judge refused wrts
OF habeas corpus for the liberation of the negro. One
at last obtained but before it was served the master
had reclaimed and taken possession Of the slave, and
the matter ended there far as we have any
tice Of proceedings in the papers

mage are interesting and valuable:
