A Great Blessing to the Afflicted.

E8~ DR.. MLane, the inventor of the celebrated
Liver Pills used these pills for several years in his
practice, before he could be induced to offer them
to the public in such q manner as to make them
known throughout the country. This learned ply
stefan felt the same repugnanee that all high-min-
ded men Of science feel in entering the lists against
those unscrdpulous empires who obtrude theiruse-
less nostrums upon the public, and rely upon a sys-
tenn of putting to sustain them. Convinced, how
ever, of the real value of the Liver Pills, and inau-
enced by the plain dictates of duty, the Doctor
finally sacrificed his delicate feelings on the altar
of public good. His great medicine has not disap-
pointed the expectations ofthe medical practitioners
at whose instance he was induced to forego his in
clinations. From every quarter do we hear The
most gratifying accounts of its wonderful curative
efects-the East and the West, the North and thu
South, are alike laden with f" tidings of great joy
from the afflicted. These wonderful Pills have com
pletely conquered that great scourge of America
the Liver Complaint.
Vs. Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.
M'Lane's Celebrated Liver Pills, and take none else

now before the public. DIR. M'Lane's Liver Pills

WHEREAS, We, the members of Safeguard Divis-
ion, No. $40, S. of T., believe the Temperance re-
formation, when properly understood by the people

lieve, that any information given from the "sacred
desk" will greatly advance the work illegal pro-
hibition; Therefore
Resolved, That we earnestly and fraternally in
vite all ministers of the gospel in the State, and es-
pecially those that labor in Duplin county, to give
each of their congregations lat the earliest conve-
nience) a sermon or lecture on the subject of Tenn
perance, setting forth the means and the end to be
obtained. WIN. B. WELLS, R. S.
WHEREAS, The members of Hamilton Division

is due, no less to ourselves than to our brethren and

we define our position as to the liquor traffic
Therefore
Resolved, That we are uncompromising enemies
to the liquor traffic in North Carolina that we be-
-lieYe it to be the most ~blighting and whitening curse
State, and that we will use ali laudabSe means III
our power for the utter extinction of the same.
Resolved, That we believe submitting the question
to the qualified voters of the State is a purely repub-
lican principle, and that the indignant repulse of
our Memorial by the last Legislature has only served
to strengthen our determination, and that we are
= prepared to appear in the field of fight in 1854, with
, redoubled energy.
J Resolved, That the question of the liquor traffic
: is paramount to party politics, and if a candidate
t can be brought out in our county who will advocate
. a prohibitory law and pledge himself to go for it in
n the Legislature, we will vote for him, and use all
e honorable means in our power to secure his election,
y regardless of party politics.
) Resolved, That in future we will vote for no mar
: for office (either for county or State) who treats tt
! spirituous liquors, either by himself or through al
n agent, while canvassing for office; and that if none
but treating men appear before us, we will withhold

and an earnest inquiry into eternal things
exist among the Baptist, Presbyterian, Epis-
