practice they mild in their operation and certain Of

have the Pills proved successful. The Pills invariably
open those distractions which females are table, bring
nature proper channel whereby health Is restor
ed and the pale and deathly counenance changed to
healthy No female can enjoy good health unless
she regular and whenever obstruction takes place
whether from exposure, cold, any other cause the
general health Immediately begins to decline, and the
Of such remedy has been the cause of so many
consumptions among young females. To ladies whose
health will not permit an Increase of their family these
Pills will prove valuable acquisition, as they will prevent
pregnancy. Headache most always arises from the In
terrupon Of nature and whenever that the case, the
Pills invariably remedy all these evils Nor are they less
eficacous in the Of Leucorrhoe, commonly called
the "Whtes." These Pills should be taken during
pregnancy as they would be to cause miscarriage.

uHEADING OFF" EMIGRANTS.-The companies
of cmigrants now on their way to Kansas, thro'
Iowa, are, it is given out, to be "headed OF"
either by the Missourians or the Z. S. troops,
Immediately OF crossing the line into the Terri
tory. Very likely; if the Missouri borderers
alone are strong enough to drive back these en-
igrants, they will do it; if not, "the whole pow
er of the Federal Government" as Pierce says
in his special message, will be brought to bear
against them.
And what is the offence of these emigrants,
from Massachusetts,, Illinois, Indiana and else
where, that they should be thus interfered with
and stopped on their way? Are they not peace
able men, and is not their object peaceabie
one? Unquestionably. They 60 to Kansas to
settle thereto become bona ida citizens OF the
Territory-to find homes for themselves-pur-
sue the arts of Industry, and to develope the re-
sources of the Territory. Is there anything
wrong in this? Nobody will pretend there is.
Why then are these emigrants to be stopped
and prevented from settling in the Territory =
There can be but one answer: Because they are
in fauor of making Kansas FREE STATE
This is their only offence, and for this, they are
to be excluded from citizenship in the Territory
All this is done by or through the influence OF
the Slave Power, sustained by the Federal Gov,
eminent.
This is the policy--this excluding of free and
encouragement pro-slavery emigrants-to be pur
sued hereafter, Judging from recent develop
ments, in the settlement of Kansas, preparatory
to its admission as State. And how can we
men Of the North, who want to see Kansas I
Free State, help ourselves? We can, if we scitt

weapons of our adyersaries; and the best You
can do is to chase them out of one into another.
Is il not the wiser part to treat them with con-
| tempt, and proceed with the discussion Of the
great issues involved in the Presidential contest
Col. Fremont is not STAKEHOLDER; but sup
pose he were-what Of it. Do not you and
recognize the legal right to hold slaves in Slave
States. Have we not repeatedly voted for
shareholders whom we knew to be right on the
great issus at stakeg Is it not quite likely that
we may do so again? Read the letter of the
Hon. Adam Beatty, published in our last, and
say whether you would not far sooner support
him for President, avowed STAKEHOLDER as he is,
than any Doughface in America? Would you
not rather vote for Breckenridge than for Blu
chanan9 Do you forget that Theo. G. Hunt,
Vim. Cullom, Emerson Ethcridge, and several
more of the most determined opposers in the
last Congress of the Nebraska Iniquity, were
slaveholderss Do you not see that when you
indignantly deny that Col. F. is stakeholder,
an adversary will argue that you tacitly affirm
that all shareholders ought to be prescribed and
excluded from Office? And, since you do not
mean that, why give caviler chance to infer it?
But suppose you run this particular lie into
the ground, you will have accomplished moth
ing while the spirit which prompted its fabri-
cation remains in existence. Next day you will

TIE GERMANS OF BosroN.-At meeting Of
Germans held the other Evening in the Turner's
Hall, Boston, DR.. Wesselhaft presiding, it was
resolved that as the socalled Democratic party
is in the service Of the shareholders, and has,
aided by the present administration, betrayed
the rights of the people of Kansas and sided with
the border ruffians; and as the infamous attack
on the freedom Of speech in the assault Of Pres
ton s. Brooks on Senator Sumner is justified and
applauded by the Southern press, thus prov
ing the utter Generalization Of the South,
and the necessity Of battling against the
spread of slavery; therefore it is plainly the du-
ty of German citizens to join the Anti-Nebrarka
party as the only one possessing political homes
ty and integrity.

under the fifth rib:
There never has been, and God forbid there
ever should be, as corrupt and pusillanimous a
DYNASTY at the head of the nation as that which
now misrules and disgraces it. Van Buren's ad-
ministration was bright era in our national an
nails compared with that which is now casting its
baleful influence over the prospects and hopes of
the country. They found the nation peaceful
and prosperous, in amity with all the world, and
in three years they have plunged it into civil
strife and bloodshed, and there is no assurance
on which we can rest with confidence, that a few
weeks may not find us suffering under the ravag-
es of foreign war. We have had thirty mill
ions of dollars added to the annual expences OF
the Government, running up to the enormous
sum of EIGHTY MILLIONS PER ANNuM, when these
very economical rulers denounced the expendi-
ture of fifty millions by Mr. Fillmores admins
