FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
FA MILY PLY &c.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatirc pill which could be relied AS
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sive trial of It's virtues has concusvcly shown with
what success it acComplShes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make physical Pill, but not easy to
make the best of all pills one which should have
none of tho objections, but all the advantages OF
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgativo
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This Is not. Many of them produce SO much
gripping pain and rryulson in the system to more
than countcrbalancc the good TO DC derived FROM
them These pEHs produce no irritation pain,
unless II arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their in amy
quantity; hut it IL better that any medicine should
Nc taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are APP
plicablc arc given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them,
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaui!dice, Indigestion, Laiguor and Loss OF hp-
petite, Lsessncss, lrritaOility, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Aguc Pain in the Sido
and Lons for, in truth, all these arc but the con-
sequence of diseased action III the liver. AS an
apCrcnt, they afford prompt and relief in Cos
tivcness, Piles, Collie, DyScntcry, Humors, Scrof-
ula and SCurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
and oyCty case where n prrgativc is required.
They have also produced some snyularly
ccSStll cures in Rheumatism, Govt DrOpsy. Gravel.
Erysipcas Pnlpitttion of the Heart, Pains in tho
Back, Stomach, and Side They should he freely
taken in the spring of the year, TO purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
tito and ygor. They purify the blood, and, by their
Stnnulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vatc the strength of the body, and restore tho
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, cvon
though no serious arrangement exists; hut un-
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purEativc medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to cXrcss. The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to tho reason of every
body; ana it is confidently believed this pill viii
answer better purpose than any thing whic! has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of a

The subject. The discourse was one OF

IS THE CHARGE rRUEo

The charges of the opposition press
against Mr. Buchanan. and the Admin;stra-
ton, that he has betrayed the South-tbat
he has deceived those who voted for him
that he has shown the cloven foot-are as
puerile as they are false; and we entertain
better opinion of the good judgment of
those who make them than to believe that
they conscientiously endorse what they
publicly proclaim. 80
| Is 1t true that Kansas has been lost to
the South by any act of the President !!
We contend that it is not; nor do we be-
lieVe that Walkers conduct has had the
effect of securing free, soil triumph in the
Territory. We know that some of Walk
er's expressions were wrong, imprudent
and uncalled for, but that he has done any,
thing to promote or encourage abolitionism,
we deny. Mr. Buchanan himself disap-
proved of portions of Walkers speeches
before the people of Kansas, and in his
letter in reply to the Connecticut hypo-
critics, he takes position on the subject of
sla' cry strong enough, and one that ought
to be satisfactory to the most ultra south
ern rights man.
In that letter, the President re announces
the fact that slavery exists in the Terri
tories under the Constitution of the United
States, and says that into the common ter
| ritories every member of the confederation
has the right to take everything whatso-
ever that is recognized as property by the
common Constitution. In this connection
he further declares:
IF confederation of sovereign States
acquire new Territory at the expense of
their common blood and treasure, surely
one set of the partners can have no right
to exclude the others from its enjoyment by
prohibiting them from taking into it what
sOever is recognized to be property by the
common Constitution"
Does any man want stronger language
than this =! Should not the people of the
South be satisfied with an Executive who
affirms such opinions as those enunciated
above? What more can we reasonably
ask?
The wing know nothing papers of North
Carolina should be the last ones to talk about
traitors, for they have never had leader
at the North who occupied position half
so conservative as Mr. Buchanan, Pierce,
Douglas, and host of other national dem
Ocrats.
In view of the fact that our opposition
friends in this State were formerly the
peculiar apologists of such men as Edw'd
Stanly and X. Rayner, (men. who, by their
acts, have proven themselves traitors to the
best interests of the South) the Wholesale
charges, coming from them, against Mr.
Buchanan and the national democratic
party, ought to have but little force, and
are certainly uncalled for, wrong and un-
fair.

PAY YOUR DHBrsl

The New York Journal of Commerce
has an able artitle On the duty of men. rs
honest men, TO sell their crops forthwith to
get money to pay their debts. The reluc-
lance Of farmers and planters TO sell at
prices so much lower than they had felt
sure of three months ago, is staring this
community, as well as the great one Of New
York. in the face. There is a stagnation
of trade in our streets, a scarcity of ex-
change drawn upon produce. and of money
TO meet obligations. which woald not exist
if planters would make up their minds to
take what were considered good prices a
year ago, even in flush times. There can
be no real relief to the pecuniary pressure
until the crops come forward to produce
that relief. The planter owes the retailer,
the retailer owes the jobber, the jobber
owes the importer, and the importer owes
the manufacturer in Europe. The crops
must be moved to set in motion this extern
sive machinery of credit. And until they
are moved, the banks will be short of ex-
change and unable to accommodate their
customers with either discounts or checks
on The North.
The Jurnal argues that the prices Of pro-
duee will be lower next spring and summer
than now. Whilst upon that point we 90
not pretend 20 offer an opinion. flor we have
not the means to form decided one,) we
do say, that the withholding of produce
from market is calculated to perPetuate the
hard times and thus to depress prices. We
cannot tell whether produce will be higher
or lower; but we can tell. as every honest
man can, that it is the duty Of men who are
in debt to pay, even at a sacrifice and we
will add that it is their interest also, not only
upon the general principle that honesty is
the best policy, but upon the plain propo-
sition,--plain at least to our mind,-that
every debt paid helps to bring to an end
this terrible financial storm, to restore pros
perity, and of course to bring again those
liberal prices for produce to which we have
become accustomed.-Fdy. Observer.

Hox. A. w. VESABLK.-This gentleman

Hox. A. w. VEsABLE.-This gentleman
was in attendance on the session of Synod
in this place last week. It will not be
news to those who are acquainted with
him, when we say that he did some talking.
He has a never-erding flow of language,
rather scattering at times, but occasionally
striking the mark with much force and
beauty. We heard him make four or five
speeches, and how many more he made
we are not informed. He seems to be as
well versed in ecclesiastical matters as in
politics. We always liked Mr. Venable,
Notwithstanding he went wrong on the dis
tribution question. While democratic
member of Congress he was faithful, and
we regretted TO lose his services there be-
cause he was a jealous and able defender
of southern rights, always ready and never
afraid to stand up for what be conceived to
be correct principles. :...

MORMON oUTRAGES.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-A letter has
been received in this city from w. P. Lam
don, one of the clerks whom the late Sur
veyor General (Burr) left in charge Of the
office. when he, for his own safety, left the
territory of Utah last Spring. He was,
on the 18th of September, at Placerville,
California. In giving an account of his
escape from Salt Lake City. he says that
while engaged in conversation, with party
u emigrants, he was assaulted by a gang
of Mormons, led on by a fellow named Dick
Petit. and ruffian associate, who. without
cause, severely beat him with stones and
clubs. He was scarcely able to reach home
i'll consequence of his wounds. The same
afternoon they attacked the deputy Sur
veyor, Mayo. by stoning him.
Landon was driven from his home at
night. leaving his wife and Child at Salt
Lake City. After adroitly eluding his
armed pursuers, he reached Plaeerville in
the most distressing condition. He says
he met on the road the Indian Peter. who
used to frequently visit the Surveror Gen.
eral's Office. Peter informed him that
Brigham Young had sent him out to get
horses and carbines. The Indian spared
his life, because he had en several occasions
given him red paint. Landon had not long
parted from him, before he (the Indian)
shot man with four balls. The man es-
capped. though much injured.
Another clerk, Mr. Wilson, in the Sur
veyor Generals office, was also attacked by
the .Mormons. They roughly seized him,
tearing him away from his family. They
commanded him to come along and make
no fuss, or they would d-n soon show him
what they intended to do with him. +
Mr. Landon's letter gives the particulars
of these occurrences. He concludes by
saying that 'all the Mormons have left
Placcrville and Carson Valley, for the pur
pose of defending Zion.'
