WHO IS KILLED ?

The organ of Governor Wise by no means
falls into the common opinion that its chief
has been hoisted on his own petard," and all
his prospects of the Presidency blighted by the
kuavish use made of his frank epistle to "inno-

in the course of which the Albany Regency are
denounced in terms of merciless severity. The

miles from Cincinnati, on the Ohio side of the
river, was worth $500 per acre, while that. more

cred apt illustration of the relative effects of
the two institutions.
As native hentuckian and a non-slave

ministration TO thrust Slavery upon them, in

THE FREE-LABoR PARTY IN KENTUCKY.
For twenty years the speaker on account of
his honest and freely-expressed convictions
upon the Slavery question, had been denounced
as an agrarian, an anarchist, and lunatic
but he might at least claim that there was
some method to his madness. He had lived
to see organized here small but determined
party of the friends of free labor, and to wit
ness the vindication of free speech and free
press in every county of this Commonwealth.
They proposed to live as good citizens, ODE

except through the legitimate channel of the
ballot-box. The signs of the times indicated
the triumph, in the next National election, of
the Republican party. Under that rule, the

Ague Cure,
ToR THE SPEEDY CURE or

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE or
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Feyers, indeed
for the whole class Of diseases Origis
Mating in hillary arrangement, caused
nv 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 perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from 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 violen4 attacks OF
this baleful distemper. This "CURE" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AauB
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 AouE 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 no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon thu constitution. Those cured
by it ere left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
Of the miasnlatic poison. A great variety OF
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
| Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Colic,
| 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
fection, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to lipcn into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Internittents, if they avail
themselves Of the protection this remedy af-
