FAMILY QUARRELs.

1t is not our province to settle disputes be-
tween the northern and the southern wings.
When they appeal to our arbitrament, they
shall receive fair decision. But, although
not disposed to usurp powers not properly be-
longing to us, we dislike to see one combatant
resorting to tricks, stratagems, and maneuvers,
by which his adversary may be taken by sur
prise, and, in consequence, defeated.
There is feud between the northern and
southern wings. The Nebraska bill gave to it
strong and striking development. The
Union between them has been dissolved. But
the New York Express, of the 23d instant true
to the ingenious tactics Of New York politi-
clans, comes forward as o paci6cator 1t is a
pity, says the EIpress, that northern and
southern wings should fall out, after having so
long acted together. 1t speaks in sorrow, and
speaks as though it was innocent Of all offence
in the premises. 1t pleads with all the earn
estness of parson and all the affection of q
parent. 1t censures northern and southern
wings by turns for the embittered feeling that
exists between them, but very adroitly manages
to lay most Of the blame at the door of the
!" Nebraska iniquity" As we have said, we
have nothing 10 do with their family quarrels.
The parties must act for themselves, and either
finally separate, or afectonately re-unite just
as it may suit their sovereign will and pleasure.
But we would respectfully suggest to the
southern wings, that the cypress is not so un-
prejudiced as it pretends to be. 1t affects the
impartial justice Of the arbitrator, while it feels
all the prejudice and passion Of the partisan
1t concludes with the following paragraph, in
which it says that those who have been in the
wrong, must recede from that wrong, and very
delicately and adroitly manages to place the
southern wings in the wrong. 1t says:
.Those who have been in the wrong in this
controversy must recede from that wrong. We
have no taste for hard words, and despise all
threats and bullying. We see and hear much
to condemn on both sides, but we fear that q
deep injury has been inflicted, and that patr-
otic men Of all sections Of country and of all
parties ought to do all in their power to restore
the government, practically at least, to the
condition in which it was before the politicians
of Congress threw this apple of discord in the
midst Of our public councils"
The plain English Of all this, if we under
stand it Alright, is, that the southern wings must
repent in sackcloth and ashes Of their Nebraska
sin, and come forward and confess that their
sin is more than they can bear. by restoring
the government" to the condition in which it
was is meant, that the southern wings must
join the northern wings in repeating the Ne
braska bill. Will the wings Of the south accept
the degrading condition.

NJ Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recentyoifered
the public is attracting great attention, not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials to
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are 80 great number of people who are af-
Aicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman, who discovered the'eflicscy of his 'rem-
edy, is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is a.physician in whom
great confidence is placed; andwe do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attraoiedthe attention
ofal sufferers from headache who have heard Of il.
From our own knowledge of DIR. Eastman's char
acier and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor il receives and that il will
prove to be great benefit to all who may give il
a trial--Lvna Nescs, December %, 1853.

not be punished. They say he is a negro of un-
common shrewdness and intelligence. He ap-
peared 10 be religiousy inclined, and upon the
voyage to Norfolk avoided all use Of profane lam

Burns denied all knowledge Of Jones, who testi-
