Agitation.

Free Sellers hold that Congress has no right to inter-
fere with slavery in the States-we propose no inter.
ference The evil theirs and let them rid themselves
OF it in any way they fit But while propose no
interior enee the part Of Congress, do claim the
right and shall exercise it, men, to discuss the
wrongs Of slavery would discuss any other evil
and to all proper moral means to remedy those
wrongs.-True Democrat, Free Soa)
No right to interfere with the institution of slavery in
the States but discuss the wrongs Of slavery
This is the very mode by which agitation always kept
up. If the evil exists, and there is no remedy, why
continually preach against itl The scrofua is an evil
called the Kings evil but where is the propre-
y or necessity of abusing the unfortunate subjects of
this evil. Send Mr. Julian to Congress and he will
perhaps admit that he has right TO interfere with
slavery in the States but that he has the right to de-
the evil and in and Of season he will
denounce the southern members Of Congress and their
constituents pirates, robbers, miserable, God for.

Anothecaries, Mistakes.

The frequency Of mistakes made by apothecaries in
putting up prescriptions has created much discussion
both in private circles and in public prints and Rumer
methods have been suggested to prevent future
rors of the kind. OF the various plans recommended
there is one, however, which strikes
simple, yet certain the writing prescriptions in full
and in English. Nothing is to be gained by retaining
the of Latin authorizations, while much is rsked.
In former times when medical works written in
that language and when both physicians and druggists
labored to conceal science from the people, there
some show of in the employment Of Latin but,
the present day. when all this is changed the reen
ton of the practice becomes superlavey ridiculous
that, if no danger incurred by it, Of sense,
whether in out OF the profession, ought unanimously
object it.. But when consider that few apothe
carries boys understand Latin, that if they do, few
physicians write plainly, and that, in consequence
deaths continually occurring result Of unfortun
ate mistakes criminal ignorance should suppose
that the entire community, preudced as well as UMPIRE
JUDGED, would advocate the of English, unabrev
aed, in prescriptions. VIII the college of Phar

DIR. EZRA READ.

We throw to the breeze this morning the name OF this

have believe has been influenced by
weening motives of selEaggrandizement, does he
thrust himself before the people in manner which would
evince confidence in his electoneering tact
than in the principles he processes and in the good
and discernment of the people. But he comes before
them candidate fol- their surages at the expressed
wish of his political friends, who believe him be hon.
est capable and faithful TO the constitution of our
try, and able and willing to make their wishes under
stood and their influence felt, in favor of justice and
liberal principles in the Congress of the United States.
Under these circumstances cannot doubt that the
democratic citizens Of the district will give To the cand-
date their hearty, jealous and undivided supports they
will do this only because OF his strong personal merit
hut also because principles involved in his
defeat dear every true friend of his race the
great principles of equal and justice to ALL
But they have previous duty the jealous performance
of which they themselves their country and the
world at largethe duty of pointing out to their fellow
citizens who have been unwitngly led into political
darkness the path. This truly is neyer-ceasine
duty; but the present state of things demands from
them rigorous attention to its calls. Upon the alacrty
displayed by them attending this duty will greatly
depend their present triumph and future progress The
coming contests we have no doubt will be a one
and every inch of ground holly contested We look
confidently friends stand by their candidate
should they do so, elect him, if not, we are de-
leated.
