A KIND ACT REFArD.-The Raleigh

A KIND ACT REFAID.-The Raleigh
Standard, in an obituary of VIM. Hill, late
Secretary Of State, relates the following:
Many years ago he journeyed to Tennes-
see, then almost an unbroken forest. At
that time it was perilous undertaking.
Robberies were by no means uncommon,
and Indian outrages were Of frequent
occurrence. The passage of the mountains,
too, was fraught with danger, as there were
but few roads, and they almost impossible.
While there, he met widow lady with an
infant, left, by her husbands death, in a
land of strangers, f4endless and alone. She
was endeavoriug to make her way back to
her relatives in Carolina. Obedieut to the
generous impulses of his nature, he en-
deavored to secure her comfort, and to
shield her as far as he could from the
hardships incident to the journey, frequently
carrying her infant for hours in his arms.
In 1911, when a candidate feI the Office he
so long and worthily file - was opposed
by a gentleman OF deserved popularity
and powerful family influence. Twice they
received each an equal number of votes.
Several members of the Legislature were
confined to their rooms by sickness, and a
committee was appointed to visit them and
obtain their votes. One of these gentlemen,
a brother of the widow above mentioned,
but an entire stranger to Mr. Hill, recoIlected
hearing his sister speak of the kindness
,hown her by him, and cast his vote, on
that account, for VIM. Hill.-That one vote
secured his election.

FANCY HILL P. o., IredeIl CO.. N. c.,
October 25th, 1857.
DEAR SIR:-I have been requested to
have the following statements published in
Jour paper, in relation to the Scarlet Fever.
Some years ago read a publication in
your paper from gentleman in South
Carolina, recommending as a cure for scar
let fever, Jalap as purge, and red pepper
tea as drink, stating that under that
treatment he had managed family of 35
children, with the loss of one. A short
time afterwards the disease came into my
neighborhood, and in my family. used the
remedy successfully with ABOUT I2 children.
1t is now in my family and neiglborhood.
l have had two of the worst cases | have
ever seen in my family or neighborhood.-
deranged to a considerable extent. 1 used
the same remedy Though it took repeated
doses of the Jalap to operate on the bowels)
as successfully as ever. The above two
cases have shed the entire skin, even to
solss of the feet. In some cases the disease
yields by taking one dose of Jalap. The
bowels should in all cases be we'll evacu-
ated, and the tea drank for several days.
Yours. Respectfully,
SILAS D. SHARPE.
N. B. No swelling of the patient after
recovery under this treatment.

THE ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING Day
"When New England was first planted, the
settlers met with many difficulties and
hardships, as is necessarily the case when
civilized people attempt to establish
themselves in wilderness country. Being
piousIy disposed, they sought reli f from
Heaven, by laying their wants aud distresses
before the Lord in frequent set days OF
fasting and prayer. Constant meditation,
and discourses on the subject Of their
difficulties, kept their minds gloomy and
disconnected, and, like the children of
Israel, there were many disposed to return
to the land which persecution had deter
mined them to abandon.
AT length, when it was proposed in the
assembly to proclaim another fast, farmer,
of plain sense, rose and remarked, that the
Inconvenience they had suffered, and
concerning which they had so often wearied
Heaven with their complaints, were not so
great as might have been expected, and
were diminishing every day as the colony
strengthened; that the earth began to reward
their labors, and to furnish literally for
their sustenance; that the seas and rivers
were full of fish, the air sweet, the climate
wholesome; above all, they were in the full
enjoyment of liberty, civil and religious. He.
therefore, thought that rejecting and
conversing on these subjects would be more
comfortable, as tending to make them more
contented with their situation; and that it
would be more becoming the gratitude they
owed to the Divine Being, if instead of a
fast, they should proclaim thanksgiving.
His advice was taken; and, from that day to
this, they have in every year observed
circumstances of public happiness sufficient
to furnish employment for thanksgiving
day"

The Washington Mystery.

The Easlon Sentinel, in noticing the fall Of
another victim TO the mysterious and fatal
disease which had its origin al the National
Hotel, al Washington, few weeks previous
to the Inauguration of President Buchanan,
says: "When we lock around us and see
and hear of good aud great men, (prlncralIy
of the Democratic party falling on every
hand from the effects of malady that 5at-
fles the skill of all physicians, we cannot but
recall 10 mind the resolutions read by The no..
torous Fred Douglass at Republican Meet.
ing at Syracuse, N. V, last summer:
Resolued, That since the traffickers in The
bodies and souls Of men have resolved upon
the endless enslavement OF their victims, and
with dabolical meanness and wickedness
have deprived them Of all power TO procure
arms, with which 10 win their freedom in an
open and honorable manner, the slave is JUS.
tifable in the use ofany and epery secret pro-
cess for destroying fhe life Of the oPpyessor, by
which he can reasonably l.opo 10 secure bis
freedom.
Resolved, Tha, the stakeholder should be
made TO dream OF death in his sleep, and 10
upprehend death at his dish and teapot POISON
should meet him al his table, and The Silent An
Gel Of Death should everywhere be invoked
10 alright him in The midst Of his mrrderous
sleve-holdiDg revelry.
The suspicion is horrible one; but do
not such diabiical threatnIngs as these, coup.
led with the otherwise unaccountable do.
slruciion OF human life which followed fast
upon the visit of the Presiden, elect 10 Wash.
instou, warrant the belief that the ieaful NOR
tally which has had no parallel in the previ-
Gus history of our country, was the result OF
a deliberate plot 10 kill him and those who
were supposed 10 be in his confidence, by
poison!

The Kansas.Sebraska Bill.

The following article, which we copy from
the Easton Sentinel, is entitled 10 a careful
consideration The views expressed are
those of one of The soundest constitutional
lawyers OF the State, and are presented in
such a plain, brief manner, as 10 be readily
understood.
"The Constitution Of the United States,
Art. 6, Sec. 2, declares that this Constitution
and the laws of the United Saes. which
shall he made ir pursuance thereof, and all
treaties made or aeheh shall be made, under the
authority OF the United States shall be the
supreme law of The land, and the judges in
every state shall be bound thereby, anything
in the Constitution or laws of any Stale 10
the contrary Notwithstanding.
Slavery existed in Louisiana when it was
a French and when it wis Spanish Colony.
On the 3Oth day of April, 1903, treaty
was made between France and The United
States, cejing the Territory of Louisiana 10
the latter, the third article of which is in the
following words:
CART. 3,-The inhabitants of the ceded
Territory shall be Incorporated into the
Union of the United States, aud admitted
as soon as possible, according 10 :he prin-
cples of the Federal Constitution, 10 The
enjoyment of all the rights, advantages and
immunlies of citizens of the United States,
and, in the meantime they shall be main.
tanned and pro tected in the free enjoyment OF
their liberty, property and the religion which
they profess"
The Territory of Louisiana embraced all
the territory now included in the State oi
Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa,
and the territories of Kansas, Nebraska and
Minnesota. So long any portion of this ter
ritory renamed territory and had not been
erected into State, Congress could pass nc
law, abolishiug slavery in such territory
they had no Jurisdiction of the subject.
When any portion of that Territory was
erected into Slate, the Stale SO erected, be.
came municipal government, and having
jurisdiction of the subject, could abolish Sla'
very, il they chose; but no other power had
any right so 10 do. ....
II therefore follows, that the celebrated
Kansas and Nebraska Bill, as il is called, in
which Congress refused 10 enact any proyls'
ion in relation 10 Slavery, either TO establish
ii or eboish ii, and repeating so much OF the
Missouri Compromise as professed 10 legis.
late upon the subject by Congress was 10
strict conformity 10 the provisions of The
Constitution of the United States, and the
Treaty Of Cession made with France"
