GJThe recent revolutionary movement
in New Orleans, it becomes more and more
apparent had its inspiration in the besoms
of the "National Democracy" who wished
20 take the city government away from the
Americans and take it themselves. The
candidate of the vigilance committee for
mavor and tie leader of theii military or
ganization, were both officers under the
general government; and the origin Of the
whole affair is freely attributed to John
Slidell, the democratic U. S. Senator from
Louisiana, who is the confidential adviser
and senatorial representative of Mr.. Buch-
anan. His political history shows him to
be bold bad man from whom we might
reasonably expect so desperate and dis
orderly scheme as was this. He was the
planner, it will be remembered, of the
famous Piaquemiue frauds in the Presidenti-
al election of 1874, whereby the vote OF
Louisiana was given to Mr.. Polk rather
than to Mr.. Clay. Since the municipal
election in New Orleans, when the Ameri-
cans were sustained in the possession ol
the government, the vigilance committee
and the excitemement have both gradually
subsid ed. The leading men OF the cam
mittee will be prosecuted in the courts, and
it is hoped severely punished.-O. s. Jour.

WORMS.

In quantity of corrupted matter, there
is always to be found a nest of worms
They cannot, neither will they stay any,
where else. Weak stomach and bowels are
subject to them, as they have not sufficient
power to digest their food. Hence large
heap of matter is lodged, and worms must
be the result. A few doses of these pills
ill disturb them in their nest, and drive
them out of the system.
1t should be remembered, that an occa-
sonal dose when in health, especially after
taking cold, will prevent the disease from
forming in the body.
