SILENCE THAT DREADFUL COUGH!

Or death must carry you to your silent grave.
Why delay while there is yet hope Consumption
is caused by impure humors of the blood being de-
posted in the cells of the lungs. Hence, the
lungs are like spring of water, when rolled up
by the dirt or mad if clear water constantly flows
through the springs, Impurities OF mud will be
conveyed away by the pure water. Just so with
the blood when kept in clean or pure state; as
i! constantly flows through the lungs. it carries a
way all corrupt matter. and perfect health will be
the result From two to four Pills taken every
night or every other night, or enough to keep the
consumption. The reason these pills are used
more than all others, is because they are made of
purifying vegetables, and cleanse the body from
all corrupt matter, and drive out disease of every
description quicker and in milder way than any
other Pills.

The. FRENCH AFRICAN SLAVE TRApE-Gov.
Benson, of Liberia, in his message to the Legis-
lature of that Republic, alludes in detail to the
French emigration scheme. He describes it as
nothing more nor less than the slave trade in
disguise. By this system, he says, "wars have
been fomented among the native tribes, the OBJ
ject being to make prisoners, with which to sup
ply the emigrant ships ; and although this NAV
not have been intended by, or fully known to
some OF the masters and owners of such ships,
yet they are nevertheless facts, fully within the
knowledge Of the citizens of Liberia, as well as
Of foreigners trading to the coast" The Paris
Constitutional, despite this view of the case,
earnestly defends the system, and argues that
in no other manner can prosperity be restored
to the French Antilles It also ridicules the
opposition of English and American philanthro-
pists.

THE TIMES.
PORT TOBACCO, MD.
Thursday Morning, February Is, 1853.

The FREE NEGRo PoPULATIoN.-Weh have
received Memorial, through the mail, from
whom we know not, the object of which is to
petition our Legislature for an act for the pro-
lection of the citizens of this State in their slave
property. It sets forth the grievances which
have resulted from the free negro population
being suffered to remain in our State. and de-
clares that our system of emancipation, which
was intended as an act of benevolence towards
faithful slaves, has been perverted to the basest
purposes by Abolitionists, whose emissaries ira
verse our State in all directions under cover of
some legitimate occupation, and in this way Sc
cure the aid Of free negroes to entice away our
slaves. The memorial is printed in pamphlet
form and occupies some 16 pages it is well
written, and concludes thus:
"The ultimate destiny of our free negroes in
this State, demands candor and frankness at the
hands of our Legislature. For we all know, in
any event, their stay here is very precarious,
and the past temporizing policy of our laws to-
wards them, irritates rather than cures the evil.
We therefore pray your Honorable Body for
the passage of a law embracing and disposing
of our free negroes under four cardinal heads, as
follows:
| l. All negeoes and mulattos set free since the
passage of the law of 1881, chap. 314, to be
hired out by the year for two years, with the
privilege of choosing their master and going in
to slavery within the time; and all who refuse
to leave the State or go into slavery, to be sold
at the end of said two years, slaves for life.
2. All negroes and mulattos held for a term
of service less than slaves for life, to elect with
in one year after their term is out, either to 90
into slavery leave the State, else be sold slaves
for life as above.
| 8. Any free negro or mulatto convicted of
any crime less than capital, to be sold slave for
life.
| 4. All other free negroes or mulattos not en-
braced in the above three heads, to be hired out
by the year for five years, with privilege ofchoos-
ing their masters and going into slavery in that
time, or leaving the State; on refusing to do
either, to be sold slaves for life their Children
under fourteen, to be subject to the action of
parents; over fourteen to be bound till twenty
one years old, then subject to the second division
We also pray your Honorable Body for an
efficient rural police law, with special reference
to our slave and free negro population also,
that slaves may become evidence against Abo-
litionists. We also pray for the passage of
law forbidding the manumission of any slave
within this State, by deed, will or otherwise.
We know our legislature has passed many
laws on these subjects, but they all fall below a
remedy. We believe these remedies will prove
effectual, and that nothing short of them will be
of any avail.
Your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever
pray, &c.

SENAFESa,

FEBRUARY 1.-THE bill to-amend, tie char
ter Of the Agricultural College was read the
third time by vote of three-fourths, when, on
motion of Mr.. Stone, it was committed to the
Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Semmes submitted the following order !:
Ordered, That the joint resolutions transmit

demning the Proceedings Of Governor Lyon,
for the suppression of lawlessness in the city of
Baltimore, and which have been adopted by the
Senate be ezponged from the Journal of its pro-
ceedngs, for the reason that if it is true, as al
legged i'll said resolutions, that Governor Lyon
has been guilty of violation of the Constitu-
ton of the State such an offence in our opin-
ion, is cause for an impeachment. And if the
House of Delegates should hereafter, in the ex-
ercise of its power of impeachment, think pro-
per, for the reasons alleged in said Resolutions,
to subject Governor Igon to an impeachment,
the offence as required by the Constitution,
fore, in view Of our duty to sit as judges at the
come party to any proceeding which shows a
pre-wdgment of the case
The bill appropriating to work of internal inn
provement on the Eastern Shore, certain por-
tons of the unexpended balance of the million

than was successfully foated in the Thames on
Sunday, the 31st Of January, and the occasion
was one of much excitement and rejoicing.
"The final floating Of the great ship was ef-
fected with perfect ease, and no accident of any
kind occurred, although the river was literally
covered with boats full of people, and the tim
bers forming the cradles, which had been kept
down by the weight of the vessel, ascending
with great force some twenty or thirty feet above
the surface of the water. The scene was bril-
liant one, and the enthusiasm of the multtudes
who witnessed the launch was manifested in
loud and continued cheering. The Leviathan
was towed by four powerful tug boats to her
mooring opposite Deptford, where she will re-
main until her internal arrangements are COM

| --0sE pavNKENNEss.-Bis Bayfe she Ga
tholic bishop of New Jersey, has issued man
ifesto against the vice of drunkenness. His let
ter on the subject has been read in all the
churches, in which he calls attention to two
classes-the drunkards themselves and the deal
ers in liquor. Leaving to the pastors the choice
of the particular means to be used, he suggests
that each should keep list of the drunkards
and liquor dealers in his church. He says:
81 am determined to make use of the most
severe measures against all who are addicted to
this scandalous and destructive vice; and If
they continue in the practice of it they must dc
lit as outcasts from the Catholic church, who
have no right to the name of Catholic while
they live, nor to Christian burial when they
die"
