The Bowels and their FunctiOns.--Dr.
MOrse,s Indian Root Pills.

A perfect health is the greatest blessing that We
can enjoy, without which alt other blessings ana
of little consequence we deem it OF great import
ance to point out the way. for you to enjoy it
The bowels must be kept in state by which they
are enabled to carry off the useless matter; they
are the main channel which nature has appointed
to carry everything that is unnecessary. And it
is impossible 10 tell what large amount of sick
ness has been caused by constipation. or costive-
ness; in other words, by not keeping the bowels
REGULAR it is the main road to all diseases: it is
the cause of unnatural irritation to the mucous os
lining membranes Of the bowels. Having lost
their natural strength, they cannot object to what
IS required of them. Hence, the bowels become
inflamed, and unless you fund a speedy relief. a
thousand other complaints are ever ready to drag.
you through a miserable and wretched life. Such
medicines must be given as will cleanse the stom-.
ach and bowels, and restore their natural strength.
To accomplish this there is no compound so valu-
able as these Pills; all other medicines sink to ut
ter insignlfcance when compared to them; ut seems
as though the Author OF Nature had designed them
for this as we'll as other complaints. From two
to- five Pills day will increase strength and appe-
tite, and cleanse the stomach and intestnes from
whatever is injurious.

BURNED TO DEArH.-Harriet Hanson, a free
negro woman, living upon the farm of Mr.. VIM
Franklin, near this place, was burned to death
on Friday morning last by her clothes taking
fire. The only person present in the house
with her was very small child who could rem
der no assistance. 1t is supposed the unfortu-
nate woman was intoxicated at the time, as she
was in the habit of drinking freely of spirtr-
GUS liquors whenever she could get it.

lCOMMUNICATED.
Mr.. EDITOR: In your paper of last Thursday
(2Sth Feb.) you notice memorial received
through mail, in reference to our Free Negro
Population. The object of that memorial is a
good one and should address itself to every
Marylander. The question as to what is to be
done with our free negro population, in view Of
the unsettled condition Of the country, should
be with us above all others the most absorbing
But this is no new idea in Charles county,
Early last year, you will find by reference to
your files, that meeting was held in Nanjemoy
and resolutions passed with reference to this
subject. Not only that, it was made the issue
upon which the election last fall turned for State
Senate. One of the candidates. Mr. Millar, who
by the by was one among those who made the
first move in Nanjemoy last year, made it
an issue-a straight up and down issue-before
the people at the last election. What was the
result? Why the verdict Of the people went a.
gainst it.. The people at the ballot box said let
the free negroes alone. Can any one deny this
who knows anything of the issues made before
the people last fall by the contending candidates
for the Senate? think not.
Mr. NIillar, at the opening of the canvass at
Middletown, made it known that this would be
one of the principles upon which he would can
vass; discussed it at every meeting, and urged
upon the people the importance, as a matter of
security and protection to themselves, legisla-
ton upon the subject of our free negro popula-
ton. MIR. Gardiner, it is well known, studious-
ly evaded the whole subject. The writer was
politically opposed to Mr. Millar, and had in
tended early in the canvass to support Mr.. Gar
diner on the score Of party, but when he found
this the most prominent issue between the two
gentlemen, he determined-as he presumed every
man in the county interested in, and favorable
| to, the principle would deter1nine-to support
the former.
Doubtless some of my Democrats friends
think it strange that should have thus acted,
but [ will tell them that poJty is not my master;
nor am yet reduced to such an abiect state OF
vassalage as to yield servile obedience to any
would-be political leader, OF to be forced into
the harness under the LASH of political dracer,
Those days have passed. Still, believe, we
have some old fogies among us who yet think
that it is their especial province to keep the
consciences of others and tell them how they
must vote, and, if a little unruly, to scare them
iato it by the "raw-head and bloody-bones" OF
party. But they are fast dying out
"Othello's occupation S gone.
The scales have dropped from the eyes of the
people, and they are realizing, in it's most prac-
teal sense, the idea that to be frecmen they
must be free to act-not from. the dictation Of
others, but from the free and spontaneous i'm.
pulses of their own convictions, But I an
making depression and will now return to my
subject.

/ CAUCUS REsoLUTIoNs.-In the Democratic
Caucus held on the first Of March by the Sena-
tors and members of the House of Delegates of
Maryland, the following preamble and resolu-
tons offered by Mr.. Contee, of Prince Georges
county, were unanimously adopted:
| Whereas the public mind is disturbed and the
harmony of the people Of this nation endanger-
led by the condition Of things in Kansas; there
fore,
Be 1T resozced That the early admission of
Kansas into this Union, as an independent and
sovereign State, is result greatly to be desired,
as calculated to restore peace and harmony to
the people of this country generally, and espe-
ciaiy quiet, prosperity and good feeling to those
| of Kansas.
Resozred, That the constitution formed by the
convention at Lecompton was a regular and le-
gal exercise of power by the people of Kansas,
and as such is valid and binding, and should be
so recognized by Congress.
Resolred, That we cordially approve of the
course of our two Senators, and of those of our
tkxa~Senators. and of those of our members In
| Congress who favored the admission of Kansas
into the Union under the Lecompton constitu-
| ton.
| Resolred That inasmuch as the defects and
errors if any EXIST which may be found in said
constitution can be remedied by the people of
Kansas in their soverei gn capacity at any time,
by State convention, it would therefore be not
only irregular and illegal, but unwise and pre-
judicial to the best interests of the whole coun-
try, for Congress to reject the Lecompton con-
stitution on account of any such supposed de-
fects and errors.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
transmitted by the chairman to our several re-
representatives. in both branches of Congress-.
IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-John Dare, late SUI
pervisor of roads in Jefferson district, and Hugh
Barnes, of Middletown, Frederick county, Md.
have been indited by the County Court for not
keeping certain roads in repair, and each fined
SIS and costs-the latter being $3.50 or 5000.
It was proven by TIE defendants that the mo-
ney appropriated for said road had been expend-
led, and that there were no funds provided for
repairs, but the Hon. Judge Nelson decided that
supervisor is bound to keep the roads of his
district in order, whether the appropriation
therefor be sufficient or not, and that the Coun-
ty Commissioners will be bound to provide. for
extraordinary necessary expences in such cases.
HSP The London Farmers Magazine for Feb
ruary contains 81 pages upon the cattle plague
now desolating Europe, or at least, most of the
States of the Continent. 1t is hoped it will not
cross the Channel as the English are exercising
great care against it, and the authorities of the
countries where it exists, take great pains to
have the diseased cattle destroyed. Importers
of Cattle into the United States should be es-
pecially careful not to import this terrible pest
