DISEASE OF THE LIVER.

DISEASE OF THE LIN ER.
BY this disease we understand an inham-
nation either in the membrane or substance
of the liver, known by dull pains in the right
side the stomach always diSor cred, the vel
low tinge of the skin, dry cough tongue coat
ed, costiveness, high colored urine, and { f
thick nature; severe weakness and severe
pains in the head.
The quantity of corrupted humors in the
region of the liver causes q defective secretion
of tho bile The liver when healthy, serves
as a filter to the blood, to separate all impuri-
ty 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 Jaundicc, Consumption,
Insanity &c., and Withholding the natural
stimulus to the inteStines causes Dyspepsia,
Piles, and other complaints, as yOn perceive
the direct way to unravel and tear the whole
system to pieces.
A patient, suffering from this complaint,
should resort to speedy relief Yet there are
very few medicines worth cent in curing
diseases What then shall be done2 We say,
use Dr. MorSe's Indian Root Pills as they are
composed of plants and roots; they will be
found a sure cure for this painful disease, be-
cause they purge from the body those corrupt
and stagnant humOrS, and so cleanse and re-
new the blood, which is the cause not only of
the disease of the liver, and the Inflammation
gf the kidney and bladder, but of every de-
scription of disease. From 3 to Of the above
pills, taken every night On gCing to bed will,
in few days, entirely relieve the body of er-
crything ;hat is opposed to health.
DR.. Morse's Indian Root Pills are sold
by all dealers in Medicines.

Rejoicing orer the admission of Oreqon.

WASHINGTON, Feb 13.-The passage of the Ore
gon bill was celebrated last night by serenade to
the Senators elect of that State as we'll as several
other eminent gentlemen, including Mr.. Letcher,
Speaker Orr, and Mr.. Stephens all of whom re-
sponded in brief but felicitous speeches.
Afterwards the crowd, accompanied by the entire
Marine Band went to the White House. The Pres
ident made short speech congratuatng the friends
of the meausre the advent of another State into
the Union. He complimented General Lane in high
terms characterizing him as a gallant soldier and
accomplished statesman, and said he had won deser-
we'd honors by his exertions to bring Oregon into
the Union.
The party then proceeded to the residence of
Vice-President Breckenridge The Vice-President
made quite speech said he had given the bill a
push whenever he could, and expected on Monday
to swear in both the new Senators.
He then diverged to Cuba, and said we talked too
much, and did too little When England wanted to
do anything she went and did it, and talked after
wards. Were Cuba at the opening of the British
Channel instead of at the mouth of the Gulf, Eng
land would take it in ten days. He was in favor Of
the acquisition. He would not rob for it, but with
any portion of his fellow citizens he would use all
honorable means to get it.

REMARKS OF MIR. BYRD,

-. OF YANCEY,
In the House Of Commons, Feb I'd, 1859, on the bill
to send out Of the State free persons Of color ouer
q and under 80 gears Of age. 49,.
Mr.. Speaker, as have some feeling on the SUBJ
ject will say few things. Sir we have been
legisating on many things, and talking about many
things, and we are now called upon to legisate on
man.. suppose it will be admitted that free per-
sons of color are men; and my friend on my right
inquiries how they came here. answer him, it was
their patriotism Sir, in revolutionary struggle
these men were called into service, and those of
them that were patriotic and conducted themselves
well their masters set free and they being willing
to obey one great command to multiply and replen-
insh the earth, propagated their species; and that
is the reason we have them here. And sir the rea-
son they are black and AM white cannot tell;
but suppose the reason is in the counsels Of the
Eternal Mind. But sir, l cannot think that their
feecy locks and black compilations forfeit natures
claim. Skins may differ, but affections dwell in
white and black the same. I see sir, these free
persons of color love and worship the same God
love-cherish the same hope in the same Church,
and pay their full share to support the Gospel or
living ministry. Sir, it was for North Carolina
they fought, and NorthCarolina set them free; and
cannot vote to drive these poor oppressed creatures
from their homes, and friends, and sacred ties My
Bible tells me God made all men of one blood, and
L
should do unto me- Sir, to keep up with my con-
science must go against this bill I ask my friend
on my right, where shall We send them? pause
for his answer. My friend my left speaks of this
as the greatest matter in his opinion before US, ex-
cept the revenue bill. Sir differ with the gentle
mani think this above the revenue BILL lie in
quires why these people are not intelligent l an
swer that question by asking him how, in their
oppressed condition, without schools, they can be
intelligent? Ipause for his answer
Mr.. Speaker, l have given this subject some
thought; and when examine the next world which
We arc to nhabit, can find no distinction between
them and us. John in the Revelations was permit
ted to look into that world, and saw great multi.
tude of nations, and kindreds, and people, and
tongues, and he saw no negroes; but all had on
white robes just alike, and gttering crowns, and
palms of victory, and harps of gold
Sir, hope the bill will be indefinitely postponed
and as the talent of the House is called for on this
subject, will take my seat and hear the answer.

acceptable to capitalists.
