WASHINGTON, April 3Oth
lhave it from very competent authority that the Com
promise Committee has agreed to report bill for the
admission Of California and the creation of Territorial
Governments for New Mexico and Utah Jointly and
are at present considering whether add this clause
defining the boundary OF Texas and allowing her the
cided, Mr. Clay being himself in doubt about it, and
the rest OF the committee being equally uncertain as to
its expediency.
They have agreed, the public are already to some
extent informed, upon extending the old law of Mary
land over the District thereby removing the slave pens
beyond the jurisdiction of Congress. The fugitive
slave bill they have agreed to amend that process
shall be issued upon due proof OF loss and ownership
IN the State whence the slave shall he shall
have the right of trial by jury after he shall have been
manucaptured and returned to his master, within the
slave State from whence he shall have escaped, and
not within the free State in which he may have taken
refuge
This, will be seen, is very material alteration of
the law OF '93. understand this amendment was pro-
posed in committee by MIR. Cas-, and drawn up by Mr..
Clay.
The desultoy discussions in the Senate upon the bill
which proposes to grant Illinois tract of the public
land to aid her in the construction of great central
railroad, and In the House upon the BILL al
most as warm and obstinate they have been upon the
great question of the day.
The old issue Of the distribution of the proceeds of
public lands was fairly preached to-day upon amend
ment to that effect offered by Mr. Dayton of New Jer
sey
The bill granting the land for the railroad seems to be
threatened with defeat Mr.. King, Of Ala has tackled
an amendment making provisions to extend the prov
sion down to Mobile.
There does not seem to be any thing bad in the prn-
cple per &c. but it looks present amazingly like an ar
rangement between the Western and Sothern Demo
Gratis TO get pretty liberal slice of rhe public land
There would be no objection they always so lber-
al But In this it looks clanish and sectional Past
history does bear out the inference that they are
simply subscribing to beneticen principle of aona

BRANpRETHs PILLs, AND THE BopY,s

BRANDRETIFS PILLS, AND THE BODYS
WASTE-To those candid men who honestly doub
the truth of the Brandrethan System we would entreat
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-
fcations Of the SYSTEM not only mparts strength and
conlnuates fe 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 any part OF the body any affection such
as bile or ulcer even bruse the blood circulating
through that part takesup impure matters from the local
affection and carries it INTO the general system. This
the cause often osudde death to persons Of full hab
it, afflicted with biles, and who use no medicine
the matter gets the circulating system and chokes
up the fine blood vessels which supply the brain with
vitality, and life il bereft by lightning. Now
this can be remedied--the Brandreth Pills will il used
at these times, take out all impure matters from the cir
culaton and save the general health at the same time
they are curing the local affections
Oh how important it is to find that this subject
be we'll comprehended it would save many from tedi-
GUS times Of sickness and often secure their services
to their friends, when otherwise the tomb would have
its victim,
