Much Truth i'll a Small Compa,s.

We are a free people, great people an
enterprising people; but must be admit
ted. also, that we are Dyspeptic people.
Our stomachs are by no means as sound al
our political constitution and many Of us,
if addressed in the language of Macbeth
'Let good digestion wait on appetite,
And health on both
would anxiously require by what means the
wish could be realized That question,
thanks to Thomas Holloway, can be tri-
umphantly answered. The unequallcd sto-
ihachic, known throughout the world as
Hollowav's Pills, is literally specific for
the complaint. Imperfect digestion results
from dilute condition Of rte gastric iuice
the fluid which dissolves the food ii the
stomach, and fits it for application to the
purpose Of life in the form Of blood If the
organ which secretes this solvent is in a
state of morbid irritation, the fluid will be
deficient in quality and quantity, and its
appointed Office in the internal economy of
the system will be ineaiciently performed =
The stomach being disordered, the whole
vital machinery to which it furnishes susie
nance and strength viii he Weakened, and
the animal spirits, sympathising with the
bodily debility, will become greatly depress-
ed. This is Dyspepsia; and it's victims,
when it has assumed the chronic f6rill, are
the most miserable Ct mankind 1t is gem
orally accompanied by loss of appetite, at
tenuation, oppression after eating irregu-
larity Of the bowels, low nervous fever,
great debility, palpitation Of tie heart, bro
ken sleep pain in the right side and be-
tween the shoulders, and profound n.elan-
choly. All these symptoms, and every
other variety in the manifestations Of this
distressing malady, are rapidly removed by
a course of Holloway's Pills. Putting the
testimony of others cut Of the question, we
have full warrant from personal observa-
tion for this broad and positive statement.
It is not to be maryelled at, then, that
Or: Holloway has acquired such universal
fame. Very seldom do the crowned heads
Of Europe condescend to invite private citi-
zens to their palaces, but there is scarcely q

sent as testimony of his esteem Nor does
his renown rest here. lie Is as we'll known

Douglas and Lincoln.

The opposition press find considerable
food for surprise. in the most natural
position Of the Southern democracy, in re-
gard to the senatorial contest between
Douglas and Lincoln, in Illinois. How a
southern man, who disapproved Of the
course Of Senator Douglas in the Kansas
controversy, can now prefer him to an out
and out Black Republican, strikes them
with unspeakable astonishmcnt. Now we
can see no just ground for charging with
inconsistency those who, in heated sec
tional controversy. denounced Douglas as
untried to the South, and now support him
sn preference to man who has always been
hostile to the democratic party, which
Douglas has served in so many hard fought
battles, and to the South to whose institu-
tons, the Little Giant" has been true in
every issue, but one, as all will admit
En- the Kansas cmhroglo, sectional and
party animosity was worked up to the high
est pitch, and men spoke hastily, when on
mature elaboration, they would have been
silent, and were guilty of intolerance
which they now regret, when the controver-
sy and question which generated it, has be-
come obsolete and sectional and party strife
has been aiiayed, and calm bringing with
it reflection, has settled on the country
But we are not one Of those who ever. at
any time denounced the Illinois statesman
as an abolitionist: It's true we differed with
him widely on an issue which readily ad-
mitted of difference Of opinion, and for
that difference we willingly concedc to Sen
ator Douglas, the credit Of honesty and sin
cerity, and now that we see arrayed against
each other Douglas, profcssed and as we
believe good democrat, and Lincoln an
avowed abolitionist, we unhesitatingly
give our sympathy to the Democrat and the
national man.
We DO not believe it is in accordance
With justice or sound policy to let one de-
]inquency cancel all the services of time
honored democrat, or to excommunicate q
veil tried public servant because of DIFF
terence of opiaioa on question in regard
to which hardly. dozen nea concurred
therefore We think it the srue policy of the
Southern democracy, both as duty to theil
party and to their country to throw all tie
moral weight Of their approval and support
into the scale Of Douglas thus lending thei
influence to save Illinois from Black Repub
lican rple and it may be the Union from al
abolitien President in 1860.

CAPTURE of the SLAYER "EchO,"

BY reference to another column. an ac-
count Of the capture Of this vessel may be
seen. All credit is due the commander
Lieut. j. n Mafitt, of the capturing vessel,
Dolphin, for lis prompt and decisive mea-
sures. thereby allowing the Echo no oppor-
tunity of escape. But it is not of the cap
ture alone Of which we wish to speak. The
continual occurrence Of events of this kind
speaks another lesson to our mind, besides
the mere narrative of sea adventure. II
tells us in thunder tones, not to be mista-
ken, that at some future day not very far
distant, that this traffic SO disgusting to the
delicate tastes of our Northern friends, and
SO Objectionable to England, Will be revived
in all its force. Setting aside every other
reason of Importance, the very need of the
slave himself will require it. The failure
of the Liberian colony has taught philan-
thropists most painful but useful lesson in
regard to the African
Born beneath the rays Of genial sun
On soil which produces spontaneously the
necesssr;es Of life, with a climate which
naturally engenders sluggishness, the AT
rican negro, in his native state has no in.
incentive whatever to labor or activity
Sunken thus as he is into hopeless state O.
i'm becility, with no ambition save to graft
fly bis mere animal wants, the negro as he
now stands, is beyond the reach Of christian
influence. Imported to our own shores
where he is continually brought in contact
with race, ia every sense his superior
with new scenes, new hopes and new aspira.
tions open before him, it requires but few
generations to raise him at least to the rank
Of half civilized being, rank to which he
could never have attained in his own coun-
try. Taking these facts into consideration,
it becomes our duty then, to follow the law
of human nature, and first see to our inter
ests and then to care fer the welfare and
civilization Of this degraded race.
We claim for ourselves as much nationality
and conservatism as belongs to any Of those
whose bounden duty it is to watch and note
the interests Of the country. But we con-
slider it no part Of conservatism or national
ity that one section Of the country should
yield her interests to the whims or fanati-
cisms of the other, or that one nation should
deprive herself. of privileges and profits to
crafty the well paid philanthropy Of an
other. The tide which the affairs Of the
Gulf have recently taken, but too plainly
prognosticate the future policy Of the South
on this m-portant issue. Time however,
(which tries all things will decide this
contest, so pregnant with interest to her.
