M'Lane's Vermifuge i'll Texas.


 Hear what the Proprietor of the " STAR HOTEL" has to say of the wonderful effects of MLANE's VER- MIFUGE:
 C %ar Hotel' CentrerIle, 7ecaS Aug. 22d, '54. feel it my bound duty to make the following state ment Several of my children have been unwell for the last week or two. Icalled at the E IG MORTAR" get some Oil of Wornseed and other truck to give them for The Druggist recommended M,. Lanes Vermifuge, but having, heretofore, tried every Vermituge in my knowing, without advantage. told him it was not worth while, my children appeared proot against them all. He said to take bottle and offered if it done good to refund the money. To satisfy him done SO and the effect was mnch better than expected that got another bot tie, and the result most astonishing. Three of my children discharged great number of the largest worms ever To young man, my .Kan Ca1- rier, who was weak, puny and poor as snake, for q month or so, gave two doses. which brought from him at least pint of what's called Stomach worms, Strange as this may appear yet its ''tfue pyead Hg How the boy stood it, so long as he did, with ten thousand BOTS gnawing at his stomach is the greatest wonder to All these are now doing well. No doubt the lives of thousands of children have been saved by the timely of this extraordina ry medicine. Don't fail to give it trial.

it provides unusual and repulsve machinery for enforcement. It is to be feared that the very stringency of this law will defeat the confess edly benevolent consummation which it has in view, and produce revulsion of public feeling which will be anything but favorable to the cause of public morals.
 The measure, much as we disapprove it, is now on our statute books. It is the law of the land. It is a cardinal principle of our institu- tions that the laws must be obeyed We are a people governed by law, and not by the mili- tary power of rulers placed above us. It fol- lows that there is but one course to pursue in relation to this measure. We must submit to the operation of this law, until we can apply the remedy, which the theory of our institutions provides. In due time, public opinion will be sure, through the ballot boxes, to effect such notifications of it, as justice demands, ,and ex- perience shall point out as necessary. Por- tions of the act may very probably be declared invalid by our judicial tribunals, to which of course the settlement of that question belongs.

The insti gators of murder may we'll shrink, now that their tools turn upon them with numbering hands.

Not long since Mir. M. D. Haynes, of Yazoo city, without his knowledge or consent and during his absence. was elected by the Know Nothings to the office of School Commissioner. MT. Haynes indignantly declined the contempt ible bribe in card which he publishes in the Democrat, and gives the underground conspir- ators such dressing as they will not forget, They mistake their man when they offer to bribe even into silence, much less into an ap- proval of their dark designs such a democrat as M.
