STATEMENT OF HON. CAVE JOHNSON.
Mr.. Thos. j. Adams, who signed the above
certificate, is a respectable citizen of Mont
gomery county. He came to my house to see
DIR. January five or six weeks ago; then saw
the tumor on his face which he supposed to
be caneer, it was Immediately under the left
eve, and was so large as TO effect seriously his
vision. The base of the tumOr appeared to be
about the size of a quarter OF dollar, and
growing from the face in a conical form, at
least an inch. He then promised the Doctor
to visit him at Murfreesborough, which he
did during the next week. After an absence
Of about three weeks he returned i again
examined the place, the proturbance had been
entirely taken off, though not cured up. l
have again examined it to day, it is entirely
healed up, and to all appearance is well. 1t
was cured, as he assured me, without pain.

SH PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF
FAMILY PHYSIC.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatve pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation This mas
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
s;ye trial of its virtues has conclusvely shown with
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed
II is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all pills one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, OF
every other. This has been attempted mere, anu
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgatiye
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els, This is not. Many of them produce so much
priping pain and reyusion in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless il arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable no harm can arise from their use IN any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciousy. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
plicable are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
Of taundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss OF APP
petite, Listlessness, Irritability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins for in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. AS an
aperent they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos.

Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
and every case where purgative is required
They have also produced some singularly sue
cessfui cures in rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel
Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring Of the year. to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change OF seasons
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
tito and vgor They purify the BLOOD and, by theiI
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
waite the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need OF a

THIS preparation is getting into use all

GETTING OVER A DIFFICULTY.


As our readers all know, there has ever existed
in the color OF America frican Democrats, an
insuperable objection to the acknowledgement Of
their nationality by our Government. Loudly have
our great men at Washington boosted of the Re-
public of Liberia. 1t has seemed to be only sec
ond to our own, in It's claims to the worlds homage.
Indeed, the entire democracy of Liberia has been
held and represented as incomparably superior to
their fathers and brethren-the free colorcd Demo-
Gratis of this republic. But notwithstanding the
individual supcriority-and Notwithstanding lii
IBERIA concededly possesses all the elements of ma
tionality, our democratic leaders could not officially
acknowledge the fact, because it might subject
IL en- to the modification of receiving a black min
lister plenipotcntiary. SO too with Hayti and Do
and as we learn from the last African Reposito.
~, the black Yankees Of Liberia and the white
Yankees Of Washington lave found it out. The
preiudices of the white aristocracy are preserve d
intact, by the representation Of tn c black Repub-
lie at Washington by Il tchjte minister. Such is
the report of the Repository. What is his grade,
or what his services, we know not. If this is a
fact, and Liberians will thus concede their inferi'
ority and sacrifice their sclf-respect, it will proba
bly, not be long before Liberia will be ranked
among the nations, by our slaveholding Govern
ment. Don't let a ''free niger come between the
wind and their nobility and all is we'll.

Bzy~The Post-Masters in Western Virginia,
in obedience to the power that rules in Ameri-
ca, are in the habit of taking out of the mails, and
burning in the presence of Witnesses Il paper call
ed the Religious Telescope, because that journal
e expresses now and then IA sentiment in opposition
to Slavery. We presume this is not a solitary in
stance Of this method Of preserving the stability
of the institution, p~racticed by Southern Post-Nlas-
ters. We know that some person living at the
South did not get the Anti-Slavcry papers which
we mailed to them, and what becomes of such pa.
perS nobody knows. The probability is, that the
Post Masters burn them.
If Slavery be right, it is also right, because it is
necessary to use such means as these to preserve
it. The whole fabric would totter to the ground if
light and knowledge should Ibe generally difused
among the blacks and the white people Of the
South. The security of Slavery is in the ignor-
ance of the people. The Post Masters are wise
therefore, in shutting out every ray of light which
comes to illumine the thick darkness in which they
must be shrouded, so long as they cherish the svs-
tenn Of chattlc servitude. To letin the light. would
have the same effect as taking the foundation
stones from under a building. Let ignorance then
thrive at the South, and darkness cover it. II

A CASE OF KIDNAPPING,

On Friday night a free colored woman. named
Jane Moore, whose sister lives on Sycamore, BE-
tween Third and Fourth streets, was beaten and
kidnapped by n man unconstitutional, of this
county, aided by a Deputy Marshal of Covingtor
We learn the facts are these: Jane Moore had been
living for a short time in the family Of Pritchard
as II servant. On Friday morning Pritchard asked
her for n small sum of money, which she gave him.
He then left the house, and did not return until
late at night, when finding the house closed. he
knocked ut the door, which Jane opened. She
was Immediately knocked down, and placed in a
carriage which was in waiting, and driven rapidly
across the river where she was lodged in the Gov
ington jail, rs a .tugitire STARE from .NdySriHc, Ky.
The kidnappers said that she had escaped some
two weeks since. The jailer was touched with the
girls story Of her wrongs and being satisfied that
she was a free woman, communicated her case
to a prominent citizen Of Coyington, through
whom her sisters were first appraised Of her ar
rost.
The same gentleman also secured the services of
Mcssrs Caldwell and Burrows, attorneys Of this
city. Mr.. Burrows repaired Immediately to Gov
ington, had the girl taken before Mayor Foley, who
heard The case with his accustomed impartially.
The freedom Of Jane was established and an order
was given by the Mayor for her release. In the
meantime the kidnappers turned fugitiycs and
have not since been heard from. Too much praise
can scarcely be awarded to the Mayor Of our sis.
ter city for his conduct III the affair. Gin. Gdz-

CoLoRED EylDENcE.-A case occurred Yesterday
in the Recorders Court in which it was proposed
0 Introduce in favor of the prosecution, as a wit
ness a native Of Goa, on the west side Of Uindos-
tan. The proposed witness claims to be a Portu-
guese subject, since Goa belongs to Portugal.
Whether his ancestors were natives Of Portugal or
Illndostan he could not say, but probably they
were Of the latter country, since he was very dark
in color. The defence objected to his admission as
a witness on account Of his color. The California
statutes prohibit Blacks, Mulattoes and Indians.
from giving evidence in Courts, for or against a
white man. This native of Goa, it was argued.
could not be admitted for two reasons: firstly, he
was black, and secondly, he was an Indian, an
East Indian, a defendant Of those to whom the
name Indian, was first applied. The Recorder
decided that the word black was intended to apply
only to the negro race, and not to Asiatics or other
white meu who might happen to lie black. and
mat word Indian was applied only to the Indians
OF America or their immediate kindred. The Por-
luSuese from Goa therefore was admitted to test
