THE LIVER PILLS.

.1y- The Liver Pills of Dr. MLane were first used by him exclusively in his practice. So effca- cious they in all of Liver Complaint that they became famous and attracting the attention of the medical faculty, passed into general use. They act with great certainty and regularity; the patient almost immediately feels the dispersion of his disease and is gradually restored to health.
 With some the effect is almost miraculous, ire quently experiencing immediate relief, after hay ing for months resorted to drugs and medicines of another description, in vain. Diseases of the Liver very common in this country, and are often frightful in character.

THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAw.-The annexed resolution passed by the Virginia house of de- legates, on the 18th December, show the value of the fugitive slave law as practical redress. Owing to the thousand obstacles thrown in the way of those who attempt to reclaim and re- capture runaways in the free States, by citizens, courts and officials, the owner seldom succeeds and even when successful, his expenses usual v amount to more than double the value of Lhe negro.

A case lawyer, or one who argues principally upon the analogy between the cause of his eli ent, and of those recorded in the books, can find almost any sort of decision He will take up a case involving the same principles of law, and it may be decided one way in the English courts, and another in our own-one way. in New York, and another in Kentucky. and another in Tennessee, and he may likely find conflicting decisions in his own State.

 Those rulers breathe freer and easier Three ot the great powers are engaged in terrible conflict of arms, and no man knows at what hour the others will become involved in the quarrel. So long as the better class of their subjects wee daily leaving for the new world taking with them their substance and their fa miles, those rulers were lily prepared to meet the demands which might be made upon them for men and money But now, thanks to our Know Nothings, their apprehensions are in great measure relieved. Emigration has great iy ialien of, and will probably almost entirely cease.

Kenneth Rayner Wounded in the House
 of hiC fri

Kenneth Rayner got the following dig un- der the fifth rib from the Gazette, the Know Nothing organ of Baton Rouge, Louisiana:
 "What lines of deep disgrace and infamy should be imprinted upon the brows of such men as Rayncr, of North Carolina! The act of one maa at the Philadel phia convention pros trated whole party; and 1t would have been just had these been the principles of majori- tv of the order; but we do not believe that such is the fact. We know that 1t is not so in Louisiana; and yet we have entirely failed in convincing our Catholic friends that the plat form laid down by the order in this State was, vertically, our real feelings and sentiments. It is to our minds most extraordinary that they did not perceive that we were struggling against that feeling of intolerance that they themselves denounced. In making these remarks our mo- tives cannot be justly assailed, since the cleo tion is over, and we are not now courting any bodys vote.''

Is it not Strange!
Clark Co.,-Ark., Dec. 26th, '55. EDITOR TRUE DEMoCRAr,-

| Clark Co.,-Ark., Dec 26th, '55.
 EDITOR TRUE DEMocRAT,- Democracy is taking the day in this sec- ton of country, the Know Nothing pen is not strong enough to hold democrats and honest
 whigs. Curiosity and oil-tongued tales have led many such through the slip-gaps and blind paths into the order; but they have had their couriosty satisfied to their sorrow, and are now hustling out of it, like rats from burning barn. At all this was not surprised; but do feel little surprised that there are yet those who seek to satisfy their curiosity by joining the order.
 The following lines descriptive of marriage is somewhat applicable to the Know Nothing order:
 It is like flaming candle light Placed in a window summers night, Inviting all the insects of the air, To come and swinge their pretty rnglets there. Those that's out, butt their heads against the pane Those that are in, butt to get out again.
 l must confess I once had some curiosity upon the subject myself, and how could help it, when listened to all the arguments and de- captive tales the most ingenious of their clan could invent; but how quick was my curiosity satisfied when I saw all my honest neighbors of both parties, who had been caught in the net, making their escape as fast they could- My curiosity has been more fully satisfied by a letter received from brother about eighteen years old, residing in sister State Soon af- ter his arrival in Philadelphia, to attend course of lectures in the Medical college there, he says |" l am in strange country and among strange people of many sorts, Yankees abolitonsts, free soilers, Know Nothngs and democrats I hope to God you are not Know Nothing 1 was a little inclined to advocate the Know Moth. ing principles before left home, but never let father know any thing about it; if had he would have run me out of the country You know that he is one of the worst old democrats that ever lived. As I said before about advo- eating the Know Nothing principles, soon after 1 landed here I told my friends who accom- panied me, 1 was done with Know Nothing ism.
 Every abolitionist and free.soiler here is a Know Nothing There are no men here that are true to the south but the old democrats.- Whenever sec man here that is in favor of giving to the south her rights, every one of them are democrats or anti Know Nothing men. My greatest mistrust has ever been that Know Nottingham was an abolition trick. The proof gets stronger every day. Can southern men still doubt?"

Illness of Chief Justice Taney

Chief Justice Fancy is still detained by ill., ness at his home in Baltimore from presiding in the supreme court at Washington. A Washing ton correspondent of the N Y. Tribune speaks of him as follows:
 Judge Fancy is now about 78 years old, and constitution naturally feeble, has been severe ly tried by disease and the unremitting exer- tions of an arduous profession. Superadded to these almost lifelong difficulties, he suffered an irreparable domestic af1iction, during last summer, in the death of his wife and daughter, which dcsolated his freside, and withdrew cancellations that. at his age, had become neces- saries of existence. Under the most favorable circumstances it is expected, in the nature oi things, that his connection with the supreme court cannot be very prolonged; but come wher the separation may, it will be attended with deep regret by the public, and by a sense O. serious loss to the highest tribunal known te our laws.

 In presenting you my card, permit me to present you with the following remarks:
 How strange it is that persons are so negligent about ther teeth; indeed thousands seem hardly to think about them, except when they troubled with the tooth ache Even the ancients gave much attention to their teeth-considered it religious duty and ap- propriated from one to two hours daily to their aten- tIot In their poetica works, the lover, enumeratng the charms of his mistress failed to notce as principal attraction, the whiteness and regularity of
 The Cunda blossom yields
 To the whiteness of the teeth;
 Speak but one mild word, and the
 Rays of thy sparkling teeth,
 Will dispel the gloom of my fears"
 Most individuals seldom consider the importance of their teeth regards their usefulness or beauty until they have been lost, or ncurably destroyed.
