The knew that by the organic act creating
the Territory of Minnesota, foreign residents
who had declared on oath their intentions to
become citizens and to support the constitution
and the organic act were entitled to vote the
same as native born citizens and the same
right was, by the Territorial laws, continued
to foreigners during the whole time of the
Territorial existence, provided they had been
two years in the United States.
Yet, knowing all this, the Senate of the
United States, three-fourths of whom were
Democrats, deliberately voted to disfranchise
our foreign born citizens of rights they had
always eXercised-to deny them any partici-
patton in the formation or adoption of
the State Constitution under which al
of us now live. This is specimen of the
National Observation-Disclosures are urged to

mainly to the sturdy resistance of the Re-
publican Senators. And let it never be for

despotism of the Democratic Senate, that our
Enabling Act became law in the precise
shape IN which it had at first passed the
House Of Representatives, which BODY at the
time, was presided over by Gov. Banks. and

the same persons to vote on the formation and

But when the foreigner and not "the mig
ger" is at stake, how mild and peaceful is the
tone. What a ready acquiescence, not in
plain principles of right, but in the most flag
rant demands of tyranny do We find. And
how earnestly Democratic papers defend this
Democratic measure. Listen to the follow
ing extract from the Washington States, a
Douglas Democratic paper at the National
Capital:
For instance, if male slave of Virginia
-one of Mr.. Bolts for instance-were to es-
cape from its owner, proceed to Prussia, there
become subject of the Crown, and subse-
quently return to Virginia, is it likely that he
would be restored to Prussia ON the demand
that he is Prussian subject?
The notion is too absurd to be entertained
by rational being. Old Virginia would sur
render her existence before she would surren-
der him.,

Ague Cure, ,
FoR rnr sPEEpY cuRE oF


Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases origl-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with q perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise tTsm its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this balcful distempCr. This "CURE" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGUE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach Of its premonitOry symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
a dollar brings it within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AGUE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces 10 quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Agueis not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety OF
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, CatarTh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Cole,
Paralysis, and Derangement Of the Stomach,
all of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This "CURE" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally Or daily while exposed to the in
fiction, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail
Themselves OF the protection this remedy af-

Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
