Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so it does cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And 1t does more,
rather does what is of service to those sub
iect to this infection. If taken in season it expels
1t from the system as it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety Of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittcnt
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness.
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tions, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause will be found to assume more or
less the Intermittent type. This "AGuB CuRR"
removes the of these arrangements, and cures
the disease. --....r .... sci
This it accomplishes by stimulating the cxcre-
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term acclin,atation. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this "AGUE CURH"
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.

THE FILLIBUSTERING FLEA.

II is a notable evidence of our great commercial
prosperity that our Collectors Of Customs are, as
a rule, So much absorbed in gathering the dues Of
the Government, that they quite lose the power Of
collecting their own wits In q way to be useful to
themselves or others. TO day tho information
reaches us that the Mantelini of pirates, Mr.. vii.
liam Walker, has for the sixth or seventh time
"elluded" our neutrality laws, and given collector
Hatch Of New Orleans the slip, has gone off in a
steamer to Nicaragua with a new batch of demons,
worse than himself, there to enter once more into
that unhappy country, which was supposed so
short a time since to have been 30 thoroughly
swept and garnished and cleaned of him and his
forever. We must, Of course, await further de-
velopments before commenting upon the RESPONSE
bilitv of our Government in respect to this fresh
scandal, but it really would seem to be t~olerably
clear that if Mr.. Buchanan hopes to expire ofRci-
ally in peace and honor, he must bend whatever
energies he possesses or can com mand to the ex-
tinction Of this great fllibustering flea, whose an.
noying industry and disproportionate agility will
never be quenched until be shall have finally been
firmly caught and nipped between the Presidential
thumb and the British forefnger.-M. Y. Times.

A SLAVE WHIPPED TO DEATH.

Quite a sensation was created 10 our city on Fri
day Of last week, in consequence of the supposed
murder Of a negro girl, by her mistress, on the
night previous.
The circumstances are these Mrs. Wash. who
has been a resident of this city for several years,
was known to be a woman Of rather an exci,able
temperament, and q severe mistress to her servants
of which she had two, both girls. On Friday
morning a report was circulated, said to have orig
mated from Mrs. Wash, that one of her negro
girls had run away and about nine O'Clock the
accused were seen burying some ono rather uncer.
enormously in a remote corner OF Mount Mora
Cemetry it seems that their actions excited some
ones suspicion, and upon examination, the body Of
the runaway slave" was recognized and exhumed
An inquest was held over the body. and a verde.
rendered that the deceased came to her death
i'll treatment and severe beating, inflicted

by her mistress and a hired man. The report
soon circulated through the city at two O'Clock
In the afternoon Of the same day, Mrs. Wash, in
company with the hired man before mentioned,
took fight in a buggy, going to q depot on the II
and St. j. r. r., about thirteen miles distant from
this city, where they left the buggy, and took th'
cars for Hannibal. Meantime q posse was dis
patched in pursuit, and orders telegraphed to Hap
nibai to have them arrested in case they went there
and on the arrival of the cars an officer was at the
depot to receive the travellers, and they were
brought back to this city. Mr.. Wash and family
are in deep distress in consequence Of tho unfor
tunate circumstance.
The negro girl in question was about sixteer
years old. Since the above circumstance, the 9th
er negro has disappeared, II is generally under
stood that she was sent to St. Louis and sold. Sh,
was also very much abused by having been whir
ped and beaten, having bruises on her head anc
person.
Mrs. Wash is a native of Kentucky, having lived
10 Illinois a few months previous to removing t.
this city. She has lived in this city several years
and is known to DO q woman Of very quick nnC
ungovernable temper; and amongst those bes
acquainted with the circumstances, there is but lit
tie dtubt as to her guilt.

A FRENCH Niger ON AMERICA RAIL
WAYS,

A correspondent Of The New York Post, writ
ing from Switzerland says:
The section Of the "Ouest-Swisse" (which pssses
through Vesey and Montreux is engineered by q
negro, an intelligent Frenchman-not a malatto,
but a veritable black, with wool three inches
thick, which, however, contrary to the popular
prejudice, does not intercept the passage of the
ideas outward, into practical usefulness. Imme.
diately opposite the house l inhabit, the railroad
comes so near the communal road that the embark
ment, which is some twenty feet above grade, has
not room to spread, so that the engineer has been
obliged to build two walls to the full height, say
twenty feet. The walls are seven feet thick at the
base, making fourteen feet the two, gradually di.
minishing to four each eight at the top the space
between being filled with earth and stones. I said
to the engineer, the other day, rs not that wall
unnecessarily thick2 never saw such a piece
of masonry" His reply was mo you Ameri-
cans build all your bridges and viaducts too slight
ly. / am familiar with many American works
and articles on railroad architecture. You have
yet much to learn from US. II you were to build
like that, (pointing to the walls,) we should not
hear Of such awful catastrophes as fill your journ-
ais two this very month, the last in yesterdays
Paris papers," This young man. apparently not
over twenty-five years of age, is evidently regard,
ed and treated with the greatest Difference and res

GREAT BRIrAIN.--The screw steamship Fox,
Capt. McClintock, sent by Lady franklin to the
Arctic regions in search Of Sir John Franklin's
Expedition, has returned to England, having been
completely successful AT Point William, on the
northwest coast of King Wiliams's island, a record
was found dated April 25th. lS4S, signed by Capts.
Crosier and Fitz James.
The record Gays the Erebus and Terror were
abandoned three days previously in the ice, five
leagues to the northwest, and the survivors, in all
amounting to los. we're proceeding to Great Fish
river. Sir John Franklin had died June l1tb,
lS47, and the to.a! deaths to date had been nine
officers and fifteen men.
Many interesting relics of the expedition on the
western shore of King Williams Island and others
were obtained from the Esquimaux; who stated
that after their abandonment one ship was crushed
in the ice and sunk, and the other forced on shore
where she remained. The Fox was unable to pen.
citrate beyond Bello Straits, and wintcred in
Brentford Bay. Minute and interesting details OIL
the eK~ pedition are published. Several skeletons
OF Franklin's men, large quantities of clothing
&C., and a duplicate record up to the abandonment
of the ships we're discovered.

T ON WEBSTER.

The Boston correspondent of the N. y Tribune
says that his friend Sourkrout has prepared an
GRAFTON on the Gol-like, and is prepared to deliver
it, if requested. The following specimen brick is
as a sample of the whole.}
"Daniel Webster was born in New Hampshire.
from which place, having been starved out by
his creditors in carly life, he came to Boston,
where he was owned for 80 years by corporations,
who, then finding him damaged and expensive to
keep, sold HIM for $50, 600 to a New York Com
pany, who soon put him off to the Slave Power for
9 promise Of the Presidency. The last purchaser,
having got the article, did not pay the considera.
ton, and there being no means of enforcing the
contract in the Federal or State Courts, Mr.. Web.
ster retired to Marshfeld, where. having 'sot' on
Mr.. Winthrop, he died and was buried with grea,
pomp. He was then duly canonized by Mr.. Ever
EFT, and his statue by Powers, an execrable carica.

much speculation among the members of the Gen.

interests and political privileges

to the pe%cuniary interests and political privileges
of the white man.
However differently they may profess to regard
the reopsning and legalizing OF the slave trade
with Africa, it is made q simple question OF ex-
pediency SO long as both parties tolerate the trade
between the States in American born slaves.
Whatever pretentions of adherence either par.
ty may make through its representatives to the
Fugitive Slave Law Of 1850, they are agreed in
regard to the Constitutional rendition of fugitive
slaves, agreed in consenting to act ne the blood
hounds of the South, the Democrats wearing q
Federal, and the Republicans a State collar; and
they are wholly and entirely agreed in making no
war upon slavery in the States i'll which the iDsti;
tuition exists.
Such are the political sentiments of the repre-;
sentative men, whom the people of Ohio are con-
jured, with pathetic eloquence, to sustain this day
at the polls. To secure a triumph, iemporising;
prevarication, and lying are freely resorted to By
both parties and with the hope Of ensuring suc=
cess, men have done as politicians, and fol tho
party, deeds, which in their ca!mer moments, and
for their individual benefit, they would sooner cut
off their right hands than perpetrate. And not on
ly will whiskey and lager beer make drunk to-
day thousands, and tens of thousands of Repub+
lican and Democratic voters, but the wine Of pol
itics will make all, or nearly all drunken who par
take Of it, and the ballot box, which to-day de-
oides the political character Of the State, will be
crowded with the votes Of those who blindly and
recklessly follow the beck Of their upprincipled
leaders and who-truth compels us to add-"go
the ,ohoie hog" for their party. 'h'f'7H
Such is q plain statement of undeniable facts
And however humiliating may be the reflection
that to such men is given the present moulding
of the political character of our institutions, it is
nevertheless true; and those who comprehend it
as such, can read in the fact the future career and
ultimate destiny of our nation, unless by the now
universally despised foolishness Of preaching, and
the o.called impracticable example of consistent
action, the leaven Of anti-slavery shall b, infused
throughout the whole lump, and work out tho res
deption of the ~peomple. &c.

DAY.

To-day is the ever memorable second Tuesday
in October, when the free, independent, and SOW
ereign people of Ohio, designate by their ballots
whom they will choose to frame laws for the pro-
lection of their rights, and the rights of all who
come upon their soil, whom they will select as
the cxpounders of those laws. and whom they will
appoint to execute them. Their State, though
young in years, ranks as the third in the Union F;
and with the waters of Erie washing its brow, and
tho ripples of the Ohio at its feet, il forms the con-
Meeting link between the older East and younger
West. Possessing a soil rich in mineral deposits
and agricultural yield, over which are scattered
the homes Of her more than two millions of chill
dren, she is Of herself in extent, in resources, and
in population an empire State. And on this day,
animated by the love of freedom, guided by an
intelligence worthy of admiration, and prompted
by an unsel6sh patriotism, her people WELD the
elective franchise, and by the magic of a vote
create anew a government which is all the philan-
~thropist and the statesman can desire.
Such, at least, is the theory of election day ; the
practice Of the people on tina, occasion may per-
haps be found to be slightly different. We very
much question. indeed. whether a hundreth part
of either the Republican or Democratic voters
have any correct appreciation of the doctrine Of
mans equality, or any desire to secure to every
human being within the reach of their government
al Influence, the rights which belong to man but
there is q mass of testimony to the contrary. sufi-
cient to convince any one who holds himself open
to the reception of truth. And the nominees OF
the people are like unto them-a band of %conspir-
ators against human rights. Take the State tick.
cts and the County tickets of the respective parties,
question the nominees, man by man, as to their
understanding of the doctrines of human rights
practically illustrated. and their intention to main
tain, defend and secure those rights, and you will
find that the only difference between the represen-
tatives Of the respective parties, is q difference in
degree and not iu principle ; for the candidates Of
both parties utterly ignore in practice tho exist
ence of the central doctrine Of human rights
mans right to himself.
Whatever opposition any of them may feel or
express, as party men, to tho extension of slavery,
that opposition is based upon a selfish principle,
looking not 10 the rights Of the colorsd man, but
