This plant has been Tor many years lound
to be Of singular virtue in the cure Of affections
of the Liver. More recently it was ascertain
ed that it possessed great power in a~rresting
BleGding at the Lungs, Coughs, Of a chronic
character, ETC., and Of essential service in all
diseases of "A pulmonary character.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary proper
ties of these valuable ingredients were gener-
aIly known and acknowledged, it was left for
Dr.. Andrew Rogers to discover the process of
extracting and combining their peculiar virtues
with other vegetable Substances, such ms Iceland
moss, wild cherry, etc., to form a compound
hitherto unrivaled in the history Of the cause
aud cure of the various diseases to which the
flesh is heir.
IT We copy below a letter from G. w
STARBUcK, Esq, publisher Cincinnati Daily
Times:-
IT is but Justice to the proprietors and the
public, that the virtues Of DR.. ROgeis' Com
pound Syrup Of Liverwort and Tar, should be
famiIiarly known to every one, and particular
" to those afflicted with diseased lungs. We
have, as proprietor Of a daily journal, watched
its gradual rise and progress in the estimation
Of the most eminent, distinguished and intel.
ligent among our citizens, for the past five
years. Numerous instances of its incOmpara-
Bile virtues have been brought under orr imme.
date notice: the. innumCrdblP and eXtraOrdi.
nary testimonials Of its excelIcncy we know
to be really true. Such men as Judge Burke,
Professor Cox, NJ. D., Rev. G.. w. Maley and
Others, ale no %dctious, but eminent and dis
tingnishCl %citizens, whose recommends
tions cannot bnt inspire confidence, and
give "A ropularity and dignity TO this, which
such "A preparation can seldom hope to obtain
and were it not 50, cur own personal expert
enoe, and that Of others attached to our office,
enables us to say, with certainty, that we con-
sider it the happicst compound, and most val
liable remedy now before the public. No terms
can express the entire confidence and pleasure
with which we recommend il for those COM
plants to to the public, in whatever part OF
the globe Colds, Coughs, or that horrible
scourge Of Humanity, Consumption exists. We
say for FIVE years We have seen it tested under
different circumstances, in the most favorable
and unlavorible cases, critically and almost
hopelessly, from simple bronchitis to despair
ing consumption, and can say that we know
of no instance where il has been found want
ing, and our opinion eau be endorsed by hum
dreds Of our most refined aud estimable fellow
citizens, that whatever may have been the
case with Others, the high position and extra
ordinary popularity of a specific remedy is
not, in this instance, undeserved.

sLANERY IN

Alate number Of the Federal Union CON
tains the following facts in regard to the
employment and ~prOitableness of slave la
Dor in California.
"a friend from Newton county informs
US, that be has just received aletter from
his brother now in California, formerly a
Captain Of a Company of Texan Rangers
which states, that the writer has now with
him on the Sacramento river thirty-two
slaves engaged in digging gold, who have
made for him, each on an average, from
$15 to 30 per day, since the 10th day Of
March lasj The negroes are from 40 to
so years old. They give him no trouble
nor does any one interfere with them
The letter also states that a majority Of the
people in California who went from the
States are in fayo Of slavery, hut that the
natives and all other foreigners, are oppos-
ed to the Institution"
The fact hat slave labor cannot be prof
itabIy employed 10 California is the great
argument Of those who are so ready lc
give up the right Of the South to an equal
participation of this rich and fertile terri
tory. Nothing can be so far from the truth
No country is better calulated to slave la.
Dor THANH alifornia either in mining opera
tons or agriculture. Is it not strange lhat
Southern men can be found SO willing to
give up all right to an equal enjoyment Of
the golden territory?

from Captain Kirwan, of brig Fashion, at
this port yesterday from Ponce, Porto Ri
co whence she sailed on the 22d ultn that
when she sailed there were a number Ct
English, French and Dutch merchant ves-
sells in port who would be obliged to leave
in ballast, as the crop Of Sugar had nearly
all been shipped! Produce was scarce
and in good demand. Sugar was selling
at $3,72 10 1925, and Molasses at l4c.-
There had been an bundance Of rain and
the young crops were represented as look
ing very promising. Accounts from the

"A high protective tariff.
An extensive system Of internal i'm

The distribution Of the revenues Of the

Liberal system of expenses,
