A WHOLE SoULED REPUBLIcAN.-The Cecil
Maryland, sWhig,' contains a letter from VIII
liam Pinckney Ewing-who is at present
candidate for States Attorney-aaslressed to
the editor of the Cecil Democrats in reply to
a charge that he is n Republican. Mr.. Ewing
writes like bold and fearless man, and would
evidently rather suffer defeat, than abandon
one jot of his Republican principles. We
give the conclusion of his letter. He states
very distinctly what Republicanism is, and
what it desires to accomplish =
''But why, in the conclusion of your article,
dc you call upon the sthe slavehoders in Mary
land to stay the march of Repubicanism q
Why doyou call on the 10000 slayeowners
and have no word to say to the 410, 900 free
white men and women who eat their bread in
the sweat OF their faces and don't own or eyer
expect to own single nigger2 Are the in
terests OF the Shareholders not to be taken
into account Must their lands be deprecia-
ted in value, and their labor degraded, and
they remain silent7 Repnblicanism does not,
as your party asserts, wish to turn all the slaves
loose and place them equality with the
whites. 1t4does not desire to interfere with
slavery where it texists. It's only object is to
preserve our territories for free white menand
allow them the privilege of reading, writing
or speaking on what subject they see proper
without being liable to fine and imprisonment
1t seeks to confine slavery within its present
limits, and to elevate free white labor by giy-
ing the man whose only capital is stout heart
and two willing hands an opportunity to live
without being placed on an equality with and
treated as niger slaves, or else helcrushed ont
by them.
1t tseeks to give the''white man, to the exclu-
sion of the blsck, the complete and entire con-
troll ofall agricultural and mechanical pursuits.
1t sympathises with the white race, and wishes
to see our land increase in value, our resour-
ces become developed, our country filed up
vii Spds
their smiling cottages rise upon the ruins of
squalid negro huts. This is all that Republi-
canism asks-why should you battle against it
with such bitterness

As before.

The length of the hypothenuse and of the perpen
dieular together being l6O, the ratio of the hy-
pothenuse must be l6G00-l60 or loo feet, the per-
pendicuiar 9600-I60 or 60 feet
Thus may be seen the propriety OF the rule, and
why we divide half the sum of the squares by the
length of the conjoined sdes..viz: We take half
the sum of the squares, because the square of the
hypothenuse is one half, equal TO the squares
of the other two sides and we divide by the length
Of the conjoned sides to obtain their relative pro
portion of that length. Jons BRooKs

GOOD MEDICINES.

1t is estimated that Iyer's cherry Peciordi &.
Cdfhsrttc PHks have done more to promote tho
public health than any other one cause. There
can be no question that the Cherry Pectoral has
by it's thousands on tn ousands cures Of Colds .
Coughs, Asthma, Group, influenza, Bronchitis,
&c, very much reduced the proportion Of deaths
from cohsumptiye diseases in this country. The
Pills are as good as the Pectofal and will cure
more complaints.
Everybody needs more or less purging. Purge
the blood from its impurities. Purge the bowels,
Liver, and the whole visceraI system from oh.
stuctons. Purge out the diseases which asten
on the body TO work its decay, Take antidotes
early and thrust it from the system, befero Ii is
yet too strong to yield.
Ayers Pills do thrust out disease, not only
while IL is weak but when IL has taken strong
hold. Read the astounding statements Of those
who have been cured by them from dreadful
scrofulo, Dropsy, Ulcers, Skin diseases, Rhcu.
matism, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia, Internal pains,
and many less dangerous but still threatening
ailments, such MS pimples on the Face, Worms
Nervous ITi,ability, Loss of appetite, Irregu.
Jaritios, Dizziness In tho Head, Colds, Feyors
Dysentory, and indeed evcfy variety Of com
plants for which, Purgatiye Remedy is required.

TIE BOOK.-It is related of Sir
Walter Scott, that a short time before
his death he called to his bedside q
friend, and said to him, "bring me
the Book"
"What book 2" replied his friend.
"Therc is but one that can meet nv
wants" said Scott, ct is tile Book
the Bible"
A beautiful tribute this, to the supe.
riority Of the Scriptures. Sir Walter
had been quite diligcnt student of the
Bible during his life, and now, as the
hour of death was approaching, though
he was deeply verscd in and had nice
appreciation Of all literature, yet he
doubtless felt that the Bible was the
only book of any worth to him, now a.
bout entering upon the realities of
eternity.
Reader, does the Bible occupy such
a prominent position in your mind that
you can call it, pre- cminontly, "the
Book o. Western JVatchman.

THE BIBLE.

. The Biblcis book for time, to guide
through it; n book for earth, to lift a
bove it; book for society, to regene-
rate and elevate it. 1t is q book for
man, in relation to man his brother
and for man the sinner, in relation to
God, the Saviour. Its depth is the
mystery Of truth; it's height is the
splendor of purity; its mission is the
mission Of love; its course is the path
of wisdom its sphere is the world of
fallen mankind; and it's end is the
glory of God. Whoever is humbly led
by it, is safely led to heaven. 1t con-
POUNDS the conccitcd, battles the specu-
lativc, rcbukcs the proud, frowns upon
the formal, denounccs the ungencrous,
dooms the protligatc and the impcni-
tent, smiles upon the meek and self
denying, assures the contrite, and re-
freshcs the way-worn follower of Christ
with living water from the fountain of
eternal love. Like all the works of
God, his word is diversified and harmo-
NOUS, plain and profound, simple and
sublime, suitable and serviccablc. 1t
contains the developments of the eter-
nal will, the thunderings of righteous
and reasonable wrath, the bcnefactions
of uumerited favor, the rcbukcs of
fathcrly fidelity, the beauties of holi-
ness, the glowings of love, the counscls
Of wisdom, and the index of futurity.--
