EFFECTS OF EMANCIPATION.

. We, who live in the slave States view with
proper horror, any proposition suddenly TO u
bolish slavery. We all know that it would be
followed by dire results both 10 the blacks and
whites. The torch applied TO every tenth hab-
iiation; or cholera in its worst form invading ev-
cry spot Of the whole land; or war, calling for
blood until the nation should bleed at every
pore, and for treasure until every resource was
exhausted, would present scenes sufficiently
horrible; but the horrors which would rise up
from the sudden abolition Of slavery throughout
the Southern States, would not be of less trag-
ic character, Nobody living in the Southern
States is blind to that fact But there are some
III the slave States, who believe that system
of gradual emancipation, independently Of colo
nization might be adopted, by which slaves
might be gradually, 10 the benefit of all parties
turned loose among us-beginning with States
having fewest slaves. If there be any such
among our readers, we commend TO their attcn-
ton, the following from an English periodical.
1t is written by well informed man, who
has seen what he describes. We have no rea-
son TO suppose that our negroes are any smart
er, much more Industrious, or better disposed
than those of the West Indies. Without trying
the hazardous experiment, then, we may view
tAe. effects Of emancipation there, as fair pic
turc Of what they would be with us. As for hay
ing the slaves set loose among us here, either
by sudden abolition, or by any system Of grad
nal emancipation, whatever, may Heaven, in
mercy, avert thar curse! a' .."

ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDER,

Prepared from RENNET, or the fourth STOM-
ACIl OF TIE OK, after directions of BARON
LIEBIG. the great Physiological Chemist, by
J. S. HOUGHTON, NJ. D. PhiladeIphi Pa.
This is truly wonderful remedy for lNDIGES-
TlON, DYSPEPSIA, JAUNDiCE, LIVER
COMPLAINT. CONSTIPATION, and DEBIL-
TTY, Curing after Natures own method, by
Natures own Agent, the Gastric Juice
~ Half teaspoonful of PEPSIN, infused in wa
ter, will digest or dissolve, Fire Pounds of Roast
BE + in about iwo hours, out of the stomach.
PEPSiN is the chief element or Great Digest
ing Principle of the Gastric Juce--the Solrem Of
The Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and iShmuLa-
Ting Agent Of the stomach and Intestines. 1t is
extracted from the Digestive Stomach of the Ok,
thus forming an ARTIFICIAL DIGESTIVE
FLUID, precisely like the natural Gastric Juice in
lis Chemical powers, and furnishing a COM
PLErE and PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for it.
By the aid Of this preparation, the pains and evils
Of INDIGESTION and DYSPEPSIA are remov-
ed just as they would be by healthy Stomach.
1t is doing wonders for Dyspeptics, curing cases
of DEBILITY, EMAChTION, NERVOUS DE-
CLINE. and DYSPEPTIC CONSUMPTION,
supposed to be on the verge of the grave. The
Scientific Evidence upon which it is based, is in
the highest degree CURIOUS and REMARKA-
BILE.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LlEB1G in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial Digestive
Fluid, analogous to the Gastric Juice, may be
readily prepared from the mucous membrane of
the stomach Of the Ok, in which various articles
OF food as meat and eggs, will he s9tlened chang
cd, and digested, just in The same manner as they

Purser Speiden, u. y. N.

This gallant purser has the luck Of going on
fancy expeditions. He is now ordered to Japan
in the flagship of Commodore Perry, steamship
Mississippi where we hope he may be rs sue
cessful as in all his former adventurous cruises
Purser Speiden was in the great Exploring Elk
petition, with Captain Wilkes, and was cast away
on the Northwest coast, where he exhibited tact
and intrepidity in saving the books and funds Of
the government. He was also Gin at the cap
ture' of California, under the invincible Stock
TON, and did brave and valuable service, as well
in the camp as at his particular duty, for which
he was proudly noticed in the dispatches to our
government by General Stockton, in whose inn
mediate staff he acted an important part. Purser
Speiden is remarkable for the exactness of his
accounts, his prompt discharge Of duty in all
emergencies and his 6onhommie qualities. We
wish him a pleasant visit to our two million
friends in the city of Jeddo, and safe return to
his family residence in this city.

The Maine Law.

The liquor business is to be interfered with in
Pennsylvania. An enthusiastic meeting was held
last week in Pittsburg in favor of this law.
Judge Mcclure, Wilson McCandless, Walter For
ward, and other distinguished gentlemen, adyo-
Gated the prohibitory law with great eloquence.
1t is alleged, and pretty well known, indeed,
that these gentlemen are not /" fanatics 1t
looks like the work is to be commenced in earnest
in Pennsylvania. The recent defeat Of the bill
in New Jersey has aroused the people in many
parts of the State and especially in Camden city
and county, who have held several largely at
tended meetings, where resolutions were unani-
mously passed, declaring their intention to vote
for no candidate for the legislature who would
not pledge himself to vote in favor of the pas
sage of such a law.
