long been celebrated in Consumption and Scrofula,
Diseases of the skin, Coughs, Colds, Splitting OF

say, Isabel derived almost instantaneous relief from
DR. MARTINS SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY.
Her disease was Consumption in its forming stage.
The Boonsborough odd Fsllop, of Washington
county, Maryland, June Goth, lS4s, says: "When
article has afforded relief 10 so many persons az
DIR. MARTINS COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD
CHERRY has done, we feel bound 10 make il
known. There never was an article in this coun-
try that has afforded relief and gave more satisfac
ton than this. In the neighborhood Of Brownsville
in this county, il has effected several important
cures, and, from certain knowledge Of it,
we pronounce it unequallcd for the cure Of Coughs
Colds and diseases OF this kind"

SLAVE CASE IN PHILADELPHIA-GREATE Elk.
cITEMENT.-About noon, to-day, considerable
excitement was caused in this city by the arrest
OF Adam Gibson, colored man, on a normal
charge OF stealing chickens, but really as a tugi-
live slave belonging TO WIN. Knight Of Cecil
county, Mary land. lie was taken to the u. $.
Marshars office, and hearing shortly after took
place before Edward ID. Ingriham, esq, commits
sioner.
After several ineffectual motions to postpone
the case, made by David Paul Brown, and Mrssrs.
Pierce and Harbert the evidence of the claim
was gone into and the identity Of the negro was
proven by one witness, who saw him on the farm
OF William Stark, i'll 1871. lie was claimed as
Emory f'ce, who ran away in 1871, and is now
said to be 80 years old
The prisoners counsel contended that his true
name is Adam Gibson, formerly owned by Par
son Iiegry Davis, but liberated by the last will
of his owner, in 1910, on condition of emigrat-
ing to Liberia. This statement was attempted
to be proved by certified copy of the will.
The case was argued by William +. Lehman
for the claimant aud Messrs. Pierce and Brown
for the defence.
Mr.. Browns speech was masterpiece OF
fervd though deceptive eloquence, Astounding
with bitter nvectlves against the parties enga-
Seu III tills pursuit vi tfielT property.
AT the close Of the argument, the commissioner
declared that all the tormalities required by the
law had been fulfilled, and being satisfied Of the
fugitives identity, he ordered him to be remain
ded, for the purpose Of being placed in the pos.
session of his owner.
A large crowd of colored people congrega,ed
in front of Independence Hall, where the case
was heard, and they still continued there ut a
late hour; but the fugitive had been removed by
the back way, and will go South by the mail
train this evening

FACTS ABOUT IRON OF VIRGINIA-Thcre are
few facts connected with this subject which may
be new to some people, both in Virginia and out
of it, who seem t" think that nothing good can
come out Of this old Commonwealth
Joseph r. Anderson, Esq, the intelligent
and enterprising proprietor of the Trcdgar Iron
Works Of this city, has been casting cannon 6!
lbS.) for the United States navy for many years
md has not had II gun burst in proof during The
last seven years THIS shows incontestiby thu
superior quality of Virginia iron, one of thu
many mineral treasures with which the prolific
soil of Virginia teens.
We will now atd another fct worth noticing
and remembering. The Virginia railroad iron
made in this city has been tested at the e,tab
lished English STANDARD of strength, and did no.
break at double the pressure and weight of tive
English standard! OF course light Virginia
rail would stand as great pressure, and be as
cheap, heavy English rail. The hngli-
rails do not last near s" long; and, when they
arc worn out, will not command much by 2:
or 30 per cent. as the iron made in Virginia.
These facts will surprise many persons, but
they are susceptible Of the fullest proof, anC
| should arouse proud ard stern resolution tc
ievclopr the wonderful resources Of this great
Commonwealth, to keep its trale at home, an,
10 make it take its proper Place among the fore
most States of America.-Richmond RrpuL

mobbing us when we seek to regain it, in heaping
insults on us, in striving to deprive of equal
share of our common property, and in multiplying
laws passed for the protection Of our property,
either the existence or appearance Of any other
feeling than hostility.
Resolved 5-That with these facts before us, and
fearing that the Constitution can no longer pro-

heartily rejoice at the efforts now making by
many of the Southern States, to organize prop
