ISLAND, Va, May 2fst, 1858.

Mr.. EDITon:-You were perfectly righ
in supposing that have no acquaintance
with H. No. 1, or knowledge of his srea
fame as a writer; have no desire to ado
thereto with my humble pen-indeed look
upon it as an insult that an article of mine
should be attributed to one who uses Ian
guage so beneath a gentleman. l cannot
stoop so low as reply to his scurrilous attack
through your columns, but reply to your
own remarks in Justice to myself and you.
He has perfect right to assert that be is my
superior, but I lm one of those who bow to
no man and know no superior but God
alone. 1t matters not TO me if all the world
stands in awe, trembling as they bow to
this superior, sublime, genius, who is so
confident that he is not one OF those rare
geniuses, who
"Were born to blush unseen,
And waste their perfume upon the desert air."
but that all creation around in pens of
praise of H. No: /, and his "Island Home"
thank God ! am not ashamed of writing
the article in question. No, far from it,
but if my plain blunt. manner of telling the
truth calls down praise or censure, it mat
ters net to me SO long as have the appro-
baton of God. At the time of writing that
article had just rAurned from Cleveland,
and being at my brothers. on the Island, |
wrote the article in question, and only re-
yret that had not signed my name in full.
You can publish this if you please,
Respectfully,
]. DAVIS HALsTEAD.

Platform of the National Republi-
can Association.
ADOPTED Nav Is, 1858.

ADOflEp MY 10, 1000
For the purpose of cooperating with all
who oppose the extension OF Slavery and
the domination of the Slave Power, and who
seek to extend and perpetuate ihe blessings
of Liberty we have associated ourselves
together, under the title of the Natlonal
Republican Association, and adopt as the
general basis .of our action the following
principles:
l. The Federal Government has no pow
er over the system of Slavery within the
States; but within its own exclusive juris-
drction it has the power, and ought to exert
it, to secure life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness, to all men.
3. There should be neither Slavery nor
involuntary serv:tude, except for the punish
ment of crime, in any of the Territories of
the United States.
3. The people are the rghtful source of
all political power; and all officers should,
as far as practicable. be chosen by direct
vote of the People.
a. Candidates for political Offices should
be men of undoubted integrity and sobriety
and pledged to support the EPnnciPles of
this Platform by all lawful and constitu-
tion,l mears.

Disease of the Liver.

By this disease we understand an infam
nation other in the membrane or substance
of the liver, known by dull pains in the
right hide, the stomach always disordered
the yellow tinge OF the skin, dry cough
tongue coated. costiveness. high colored
urine, and Of a thick nature; severe weak.
ness and severe pains in the head
The quantito of corrupted humors in the
liver, causes defective secretion of the
bile. The liver when healthy, serves as a
filter to the blood, to seperate all impuri;y
from it, or to refine it. When diseased, it
cannot purify the blood, which. when sent
to the lungs, brains, and other parts in a
morbid condition, may cause Jaundice, Con-
sumption Insanity, &C.. and Withholding the
natural stimulus, 10 the intestines, causes
Dyspepsia, Piles, and other complaints, as
you perceive the direct way to unrave. and
tear the whole system to pieces.
A patieut, suffering from this complaint,
should resort to speedy relief. Yet there
are very few medicines worth cent in Gu
ring diseases. Wha: then shall be done!-
We say, use DR.. Morse's Indian Root Pills,
as they are camposed of plants and roots;-
they will be found d sure cure for this pain
ful disease, because they purge from the
body those corrupt and stagnant humors,
and SO cleanse and renew the blood, which
is the cause mol only of the disease of the
liver, and the inflammation of the kidney
and the bladder, but of every description of
disease. Grom 10 of the above pills,
taken every night on going to bed, will in u
few days. entirely relieve the body of every
thtng that is opposed to health.
DR.. Morse's Indian Root Pills are sold by
all dealers in Medicines.
