An Astonishing Man, Famed Through
ont the World.
New York and London are now the
great manufacturing depots of Holloway's
Pills and Ointment. From No. 80. Mai
den Lane. this city. to No. ga Strand,
London, are sent forth, daily, millions Of
boxes and pots of those inestimable med
icines. The heavy duty imposed by our
government upon patent medicines, and
constantly increasing sales of Holloway's
Pills and Ointment in this country, deter>
mined their proprietor to make this city
his residence. Our republican system of
government is also in harmony with the
predictions of Professor Holloway; and
though Kings and Emperors have confer
red upon him honors. and especial favors,
these will never be SO gratifying TO him as
the grateful hearts of millions of free citi-
zens, who without any endorsement of
sovereign authority, freely patronize his
celebrated remedies for the prevention
and removal of disease.
AS member of the medical faculty,
having long Witnessed the ineffciency Of
the profession in curing disease, and be-
ing familiar with the errora. and foliies of
the profession, we feel it an imperative
duty to scquaint the American public
with the arrival of this distinguished
physician in our city. His fame, in mea-
sure, preceded him to our shores, but the
extent Of the good be has done in the
world has never yet been proclaimed to
the American public. Great as his res
putation is. it is destined to increase far
beyond that which ever adorned the char.
acter of any man whose profession was
that of healing the sick.
We shall embrace other occasions to
explain to the American people the sys>
tenn, the theory and mode of cure adopted
by Professor Holloway. His Pills and
Ointment, the one taken internally, and
the other applied externally. act in har-
monious conjunction, and if his directions
are followed, will eradicate every disease
incident to man in all chimes. They pu>
rify and cleans the body. and restore
health and action to every organ. Our
space will not permit us to say more at this
ime, respecting this distinguished man.
and his celebrated remedies. He has
one ambition, and it is an honorable one.
He wishes to have the world for patient;
and he will succeed in his desire.
II is our object to address The Ameri.
can public. in series of articles. showing
conclusiyely that. in the whole history Of
medical science, no medicines have ever
been offered for their use which are so
ef6cacious in restoring health and pre-
venting disease as those Of Professor
Holloway. In this series of articles, we
shall necessarily explain much of the hui
man system, and those physiological laws
of life controlling our bodies. both in
health and disease. The American pub
lie are sufficiently intelligent to judge of
their own interests, and it is no longer in
the power Of those styleing themselves
regular physicians to conceal from them
important truths concerning their health.

Arrests i'm Kansas.

A Geographic despatch from Kansas City
to the St. Louis Republican, states the q.
S. Troops have aided in making several ar
rests, and that Sheriff Jones was shot while
guarding the prisoners.
We were prepared to hear of further
.outrages by letter in the st Louis Repa5-
lican, dated Leeompton, April 10Th. The
writer has given the pro-slavery account of
the difficulty which had occurred at Law
renee. He states that the Investigating
Committee were welcomed at Lawrence BY
the Free State men, and that the arrival of
S. n. Wood and his company of emigrants
created no little excitement and enthusi-
asm. 1t seems that an attempt was made
to arrest Wood, and we quote the Repu5L-
cans account of the transaction:
'Sheritf Jones attempted to arrest him
yesterday, but was prevented by forcible re-
sistance on the part of Woods friends
Finding him in Christians office, Jones
went up to Wood and told him he had a
warrent for him. He replied 4 reckon not.
The Sheriff assured him that he had one.
and proceeded to read it to him. Wood
then said he must consult with Ex-Governor
Reeder and Governor Robinson. Jones
would not consent. He must see his wife
The Sheriff said he could if they were sent
for, and brought to the Office where they
were. Upon this Wood tried to get awav,
when Jones seized him by the collar, and
would have secured him, had not the abo-
litionists intcrfered, seized Jones' and res
cued Wood. To-day, Sunday, the Sheriff,
with small posse, have gone down to Law
renee to try it again. If they fail, Gov.
Shannon has butone thing to do, and that
is to call out q. S. troops to sustain the laws.
viii he do it? If he does not, it were bet
tor for HIM had he never seen Kansas. S.
n. Wood is free soil editor of Lawrence,
and is scharged with rescuing prisoner, from
the Sheriff.
The telegraph dispatch is some days later,
and it is probable Shannon called out the
U. S. troops to enforce the Missouri Ruhian
laws, as suggested by the correspondent
The writer states that Lecompton is crowd
ed-all excited about the Wood affair.
Messrs. Sherman and Howard would re-
main at Lawrence several days. Their
clerks were at Lecompton, making some ex-
tracts from Executive files, copying poll
books &c.

In reply to an inquiry made by the edi-
tor of the Cincinnati Commercial of the
Hon. LEWIS D. CAMPBELL, what induced
him to attend the American Mass Meeting
at Washington, if he did not intend to
ratify the nomination of Fillmore and Don
elson, Mr.. Campbell addresses a letter to
the editor, of which the following is an ex-
tract:
"For two years had been in the habit
occasionally of making addresses to the
Americans in Washington. About the
18th of February, 1 promised a committee
to make public speech on the evening of
Friday the 29th. Between the time of

designated, the nominations were made

hour afterwards the committee called again
and urged me to fulfil the promise had
before made, stating that it was not expec-
ted that should identify myself with the
ratification or other proceedings of the
meeting. With view to make good my
promise, given before the nominations were
made, I proceeded with them to the

POPULAR sOVEREIGNTY.

| The Messenger is as clear as mud in its
last weeks issue on popular sovereignty. !"
We have read its article with care, but must
confess that the political philosophy of the
Messenger is too deep for US. The follow
ing is the Messengers definition of popular
sovereignty. at is the right to exercise
absolute sovereignty over all matters per-
tanning to a domestic or local nature, and is
natural liberty, restrained only so far as
to make it subservient to the general good"
Now will the Messenger bear with US if We
ask few civil questions2 We hope its an
swers will enlighten our ignorance.
I. Does popular sovereignty mean the
right of majority of the white population
of Kansas to introduce slavery there!
2. If popular sovereignty is naturalli6-
erty, restrained only so far as to make it
to the general good" does this
"natural liberty" belong to white men only
8. If natural liberty" belongs to black
as well as white men, would it, in the opin-
ion Of the Messenger, be ''for the general
good,' to restrain that liberty so far as the
blacks in Kansas are concerned by consign
ing them to slavery? Or if the general
good of the blacks is not worthy to be con-
sidcred, would it be for the general good"
of the white population of the new terrific
ries to have slavery introduced there!
4. Finally, if popular sovereignty means
the right of the majority of white men, to
introduce slavery into Kansas and Nebras-
ka, will the Messenger inform us from what
principles of natural law, or from what clause
of the Constitution or Declaration of Indc-
pendence the right is derived3
We pause for reply.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Repu5
iican-a Pro-Slavery organ-writes from
Lecompton, April 10th and puts the follow
ing rather laughable version upon the WORK
of the Kansas Investigation committee:
"MesSrs. Sherman and Howard, the Hma-
jority," came hero Thursday night, remain
ing till morning, when they left for Kansas
where they will stay several days. Their
clerks are making abstracts from executive
files, copying the poll books, and doing 9th
er senseless things. They intend, 1 learn,
to summon every voter, and make him an
swer on oath where he lives, to complete
all which, it will take something less than
two years. Mr.. Oliver, who is making a
very favorable impression on the law abid-
ing people Of the territory, is now here, do
ing all he can to get matters through with
while the majority are running after the re-
bels and fanatics Of Lawrence"
Two years to catch every voter who help
ed elect Whitfield! Why? Is it possible
that those "voters'' do not reside in Kansas
that they are "John Smith" at one poll
and 'John Jones' at another and HJohn
Red Eye at third! The result of the in
vestigation will tell. That the "majority"
Of the committee is determined to sift that
repudiated election to the bottom certainly
will be a matter of satisfaction to all ex-
cept to Shareholders and the ruffians. 1t is
now thought that two months will serve to
complete the work Of the committee.-San.

Patron Saint.

The Messenger, like other moral and re-
ligious institutions, is provided with a patron
saint. 1t prays and swears by St. Stephen
Arnold Douglas. The choice strikes as fit
and suitable. St. Stephen was born among
the green hills of Vermont where slave
never breathed, but he has sold himself to
the demon of slavery who drives him with
ersoevcr he will. At the command of the
master demon he curses all who love liber-
ty for themselves and others. lie throws
down tho barriers that shut out slavery, and
upholds the Missouri Williams who vote for
slavery in Kansas. Hurrah for the Ncssela-
ger and its patron saint, St. Stephen Ar
mold Douglas!

rioters are now engaged in destroying the

odd Fellows National Celebrotion.


The thirty-seventh anniversary of the in
; PRODUCTION of Odd Fellowship into the Uni
ted States, was celebrated in Cincinnati, on
the oath ult.
The whole affair was under the control and
management of the various lodges of the
city, and the most extensive arrangements
had been made for the reception and accom-
mediation of all visiting brethren. Nearly
every State and Territory of the Union, and
the British Provinces were represented. and
never before has this benevolent and honor
able order made so grand an outside display.
The day was beautiful, and before eight
o'clock in the morning the various divisions
commenced arrangements for the procession,
which was to take up its line of march at
10 o'clock. There were eleven grand di-
visions 50 formed that the head Of one rest
ed on the rear of another, each with its
marshals, music, cars, and banners, all cloth
ed in rich regalia, and bearing the emblerns
symbolical ofthe great truths taught by the
brotherhood.
At lo4 O'Clock the procession commenced
moving, and when it was wholly formed, i'll
presented one of the grandest and most i'm
posing sights ever witnessed in the Queen
City. 1t was estimated that over 5000 per
sons were in the procession, and Just three
fourths of an hour were required for it to
pass. At II o'clock the head Of the pro
cession reached the large pavilion of Van
Amburg d Cos Menagerie and Circus, the
use ofwhieh the proprietors kindly rendered,
where halt was made and the various di-
visions countermarched into the spacious
tent, led by Past Grand Sire, THos. Wildly,
one of the original founders of the order, to-
gether with the Orator of the day, and 9TH
er distinguished members of the order. Al
most an hour was consumed in getting this
great crowd seated. After addressing the
Throne of Grace, the gavil called the broth
ers to their feet and the Opening Ode was
sung with a will by 5000 voices. The ad-
dress was beautiful and appropriate and was
listened to with marked attention.

llarly of this grand National Celebration {

We stated yesterday, upon the assertion
of the Crawford (Pa.) Journal, that the
bill in the Pennsylvania Legislature restor-
ing the charter of the Erie and North East
Railroad to its stockholders, was defeated
in the lower House.
We are glad to know that such is not
the fact. The bill which reinstates that
railroad charter and which restores the
franchises and property to the stockholders,
has passed both houses and is now law.
There was great rejoicing at Erie last
night, among the friends of law and order,
and the bill which was passed a year since
repeating the charter of the Erie & North
East Co, commonly known as Thompson's
billy was buried with due solemnity. This
new bill now passed takes the kinks all out
of the old troubles at Erie, and henceforth,
we hope, it will be straight work.
