The Democracy at the South plumes itself up
on the fact that The Nebraska bill was passed as a
party measure, in opposition TO the Wing vote OF
Congress but the Hon. Mr.. Boyce. of South
Carolina, has recently made an expusnre in refer
ence to the matter, showing the motives and in,
fusnces which brought about that famous act
Mr.. Boyee is politician Of the Calhoun school
which has generally acted with the Democratic
party, and is therefore good witness in the case
On the 9TH inst, he delivered speech at Stump
terville, in which he urged that South Carolina
should not 60 into the next Democratic National
Convention. After speaking of some Northern
men who advocated the Nebraska Bill from the
noblest motives, and who should be honored by
the South, he proceeded =
"But when have said this much | must be
allowed to say what the truth of history demands
that the repeal of The Missouri restriction in its
general scope was not so much an act OF justice
intended to the South as great political move by
which the Sorth was to be conciaed the North
to lose nothing, and all through the agency OF the
Democratic party, who were TO be the real bene-
fciares ofthe movement. The movement have
no doub: went on this programme of policy that
the Democratic PARTY, by opening Kansas to the
South, would gain firm possession of the South /;
tina! The Wing party would oppose the movement
as they did aud thus break down at the South
and all resting on the conviction that the North,
IRON her superior powers Of colonization, would
seize upon Kansas and make it free State. The
South, having had a fair chance. could not blame
their Northern allies, and the Democratic party
would remain masters of the situation. That was
great scheme, comprehensive, crafty, and saga
ciouS. and only needed the impress Of success to
stamp it as master movement in party tactics.
"Under this view of the case do not See that
we are under an nsupportabe weight ofgratltude
to the Democratic party ; certlnly the burden is
not as heavy as Atlas had to bear on his should
ers. But if the Democratic party had stood up
to the Nebraska bill after its passage, could hard
" have felt at liberty TO have raised the veil
which concealed the secret workings of their ma
chnery but, after they had perfected their work,
they fled from it in dsmay and repudiated their
own offspring. In almost the eDtire North, with
the exception of three or four of the Northwestern
States where Judge Douglass influence was par
amount the Democratic party lodged the Nebras-
ka bill or took ground against il. How, then, can
be asked TO put confidence in party which has
no confidence in itself but falsfes its action
Lord Chatham said that confidence was plant Of
slow growth in an aged bosom. 1t is never a
plant Of hasty growth in the bosom OF any wise
statesman. The present position of the Demo
cratic party i, certainly not anch as to invite us
10 quit our own Hresdes and take up bed and
board with il.em."

and being short OF milk, an Irish girl was sem

tea was handed round, and some surprise was
felt that the milk did not color it, but nothing
was said. The peculiar favor, too, was re-
marked, but no one liked 10 speak; at length
one lady ventured hint, and the exclamations
became general. The mistress of the Acade.

A Picayune Story.

very good story is told in the Picayune Of
woman out west, who had suspected her
husband of visiting a neighbor's wife. The
absence Of the husband one night induced her
70 suspect where he had gone she donned
shawl and bosnet to reconnoitrs and placing
herself at the window, had all her horrible
fears realized by seeing, through an imperfect
blind, her husband 90 IN ha- h-.~i -
dormitcly-having placed his clothes on a
chair near the window. Her plan of revenge
was soon formed. She managed to seize his
wardrobe, and pushed for home, bearing glo-
riously the evidence of his disloyality. Enter
ing her own bedroom, she locked the door, and
in sleePless bed waited her lords return, who
soon approached, and finding ,he.door locked,
demanded entrance. No answer was deigned
BY the wronged and enraged wife. Blast it,
said he, my wife is honest, she can't have
any body here,' and with kick of his foot,
opened way to his wife's presence. On the
appearance of lights, what was her surprise
10 find him with all his clothes on, What
was bis 10 find a mans clothes on a chair in
the room, and the window hois,ed =
We doa', know all that passed, we only
hear that the clothes she had carried away,
helonged 10 the husband of her suspected rival ;
the whole truth of which being brought to
Eight, recenciled man and wife. We saw
nothing about the wives.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
Sve trial of its virtues has conclusivey shown with
what success it accomplShes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make physical piA. 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 here, and
with what success would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revulson in the system to more
than counterbaance the good to be derived from
them These iilLs prodnss NO irritation o. PAIN
ton arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm arise from their use In any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
in the several diseases to which they ap-
plcable are given the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured BY them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss Of Ap
petite ListlessneSs, Irritabiity. Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins for in TRUTH all these are but the
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tveness, Piles, Collie. Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
and every case where a purgative is required
They have also produced some singularly sue
cessful 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
tite and vgor They purify the blood, and, by their
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism
Hence occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but un
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physc is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body and it is confidently believed this pill win
answer 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
cathartic medicine. Being sugar-wrapped they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no
harm can arise from their in ai-s ,1antity.
