.Ague Cure,
FOR TIE SPEEDY CURE OF

EcN ~ 'E W
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Asue,
Rennittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Apue, Periodical Headache, Oh Bilious
Headache, and Billions Fevers, indeed
for the whole class Of diseases orisi-
- 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 a sure
aid safe cure for Fever and Aguc. Such
we ure now enabled to offer, with a perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
)io harm caa arise from its use in any guam
t:ty. @
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. P,ecentton is
better thai cvrc, for the patient escapes the
risk which h., must run III violent attacks Of
=. this halcf,l d%istcmpcr. This "CuRE cxpels
fhesm;asmatic poison. of FEVER AND AGuE
from the system and prevents the develop
mcnt Of the disease, if taken on the first APP
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever vet discovered
for this class of complaints. but also tht
cheapest. The large quantity we supply tol
a dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body: and III bilious districts, where FEVER
AxD .A,:rE prevails, every body should have it
and use it +: ely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
1"ac', 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 ~Intcrmittents is, that it contains
10 Gun,iac or mineral, consequently it pro-
dues no quinism or other injurious effects
r~]latcvcr u,,on the constitution. Those cured
~ it are left as healthy as if they had never

So wide is the field of its usefulness and 50 nu-
merous are the cases Of it's cures, that almost
every section Of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine Of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections Of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While: many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten. -r

der that the Illinois Mormons held a
conference in De Ka|b county last

States were present. The object OF
the conference was to procure an or

heresies of the Utah Mormons, and
especially polygamy. A paper is to

the dissemination of the true faith,

RowpYIsM N BALrIMoeE-Balti,

RoWDYISM IN BALTIMORE -Balti-
more has become disgraced by scenes
of violence aod bloodshed. At each
election it seems the city and its citi-
zens are at the mercy of lawless gangs
intent on carrying the polls to suit
themselves at whatever sacrifice OF
decency and life. Plug Uglyism is
still rampant after the general con,
demnation that has been passed upon
its deeds by law abiding citizens all
over the Union. We have known
Irish gangs to accumulate in front Of
the polls and drive therefrom the sons
of revolutionary patriots. If the Plug
Uglies of Baltimore have been tire at
ed in like manner, there might be
some slight excuse for their conduct
if they confined their operations to
paying of old offenders. But their
vengeance seems to be vented on ev-
erybody who is opposed to them po-
litically. They are thus without pail
liation for their bloody conduct, are a
damnable disgrace to the city they
inhabit and the American name, and
ought TO be put down by the strong
arm of power, if shame does not dis
ba nd their organization.

WHY DognsatiSe?-Let as hare
Facts.-The Sacramento Union says
Douglas never claimed that a Terri,
torial Legislature derived the power
to exclude slavery by law from Con-
gress. We quote:
His position is, that it is power
incident to self-government and in
herent in the people as American
citizens. Congress possesses no pow.
er to delegate legislative rights upon
the people Of territory, for that
body possesses no rights of that
character to delegate. The people
of a Territory possess the right to
legislate for themselves upon all mat.
ters touching their local interest in
dependent of Congress or the Su-
preme Court.
The truth is, Mr. Douglas is not
clear on this point. His argument,
however. if it may be dignifed with
the name Of argument. is that the
people of-a Territory have no right
to legislate for themselves until Con-
gress shall have enabled them to do
so by what he terms an enabling act.
He is great stiekler for this enab-
ling act. He proposed to repeal the
act of this kind for Utah, thus taking
away from the people OF that Terri
tory the right inherent in the peo-
pie as American citizens" We can
not reconcile Mr.. Douglas PROPOSE
tions on this point with the idea that
the right to legislate is inherent in
the American people independent of
any power whatever. Nor have we
met with anindividual yet of subtlety
of intellect sufficient SO to do. Mr..
Douglas must abandon the "enabling
act" before he can deny consistently
the power Of Congress over legisla-
tion in the Territories The position
assumed by Henry A. Wise, that the
Kansas-Nebraska bill is of itself an
enabling act. is more tenable deci-
dedly.
