TIE AMERICAN SMOKER,


Consisting ofa great variety of unique and
beautiful patterns of Cigar Tubes also, sew
eral varieties of Pipe Tubes The peculiarity
about these articles is that each one is afrang-
ed so az to receive damp sponge, through
which the smoke Of the burning cigar has to
pass on its way to the mouth. This damp
sponge not only cools the smoke, but extracts
from it the nicotine oil, the poisonous proper
tv of the Tobacco, which renders the breath
less offensive Smokers Will find the use of
these Tubes luxury never before attained
except by using the Turkish water jar. Their
use will also greatly promote the health ofthe
habitual smoker and preserve the sweetness
of the breath. ~
THE AMERICAN CARPET HOOK.
Is little contrivance for putting down carpets
without tackS. This is a new article, which
has never before been upon the market But
it possesses the merit of enabling a person to
put down or take up carpet of the largest
size in general use in fifteen minutes, without
any injury to the floor or carpet IL is very
cheap-cheaTe in the long run than tacks-
and the great faculty with which even serv-
ant can take up and put down carpets, with
out the possibility of mistake, renders it in
valuable to the housekeeper.
THE AMERICAN PEN HOLDER & WIPER
1t is n neat invention for holding a wet sponge,
into which the pen is thrust, always coming
out clean and ready for use. A very conven-
lent article for the Counting House Desk and

EHOR TINE CURE OF ALL THOSE PAINFUL
L. DISEASES PECULIAR TO WOMEN.
Mrs. MONTAGUE, for many years afflicted
with most of the diseases that are common to
females, spending large fortune in ten years
in trying the different means of treatment for
her relief to no avail, was prevailed upon by
many of her friends to visit Cuba, December
'48, for the purpose of regaining her former
health. While there, she obtained prescrip-
ton from Spanish Physician. 80 fqs
-gre "Whose silver locks ..eef a.
5af Were tending to the grave sa asa
With which; through the mercy of God, she
was restored to her youthful health.
After her return she made known to hun
dreds of hel female sufferers the effects of the
remedy with equally as great success.
This extraordinary medicine is offered to the
public for the relief and cure of all the painful
and dangerous diseases peculiar to women,
and that the female constitution is subject to.
To those suffering from Prolapsus Uteri, +"
Lucorrhoea, Ammorrhoea, MenoThagia, Dys-
menorrhoea-C -Chlorosis, speedy cure can be
obtained. ea
To those suffering from Falling of the Womb
or Uterine Weakness of any kind, the Female
Cordial is especially recommended. 1t is war
ranted to cure this painful disease if perse-
vered in.
In all spinal affections, pain IN the region
of the Pelvis, Lowness of Spirits, Hysteria
Sick-headache, and all those diseases arising
from the peculiar formation of women, the
Cordial viii be found OF an immense value
This medicine moderates all excess, and re-
moves all obstruction; it invigorates the de-
biliated constitution for the duties of life, and
when taken in middle age proves blessing
Modesty forbids us, in public advertise
ment, to make full the details but the wrap
per around each letter will fully explain every
case. ~

We learn that the bill before the Missouri

Senate by very decided majority. The meas-
are has been made test Of Democracy, and
thsre is no reason to. doubt its passage in the
House as that body is strongly Democrat.
ic- In St. Louis, We understand, the subject
forms the leading topic Of conversation, and
the action Of the Legislature meets with almoet

some that the bill will be vetoed by Gov,

The question now before the American peo-
pie is whether freedom is National and slavery
Sectional, or the reverse. Some among us,
profess to occupy a sort of middle, or " Conser-
vatire" position upon this question-a position
that is very difficult to understand, mud in the
hope Of eliciting information theseupon, i would
respectfully ask Of those occupying It, to en-
tighten us, Who lire in the rural districts" IS
to what they propose.
To what do they apply the term Conserva-
tism: What do they wish to preserve. AS
sumiug that the reply would be, "we wisl, to
preserve the Constitution, aud thu Union, and
to That end, deprecato the agitation OF the
slavery question"-let Us extend the inquiry,
and Ascertain, il possible, who represent the
conservatism Of the country.
Noah Webster defines conservatism to be the
"practiee of preserving ~hatcyer is establish
ed."' What then, was the character Of tho eov-
eminent established By the patriots Of the reyo-
luton. The Declaration Of Independence,
framed by that apostls Of Democracy, Thouas
Jefferson, and subscribed By his compatriots,
from the Northern and Southern States allie.
sets out with the proposition, that Ill men a1e
creoted free and equal, and endowed With Ger
tain inalienable rights, among which ere life
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
This was proclaimed to the world as the prin.
ciple for which the battle Of the Revolution was
fought and won.

'isiente Of slavery ID some Of the S,ates-its

II Of the case, aud not from any fondness tor
that very" peculiar" Institution. This is ampjv
shown By tho debases in the Constitutional Con.
vcntion, wherein Southern, "a well as Northern
men, deplored this great national misfortune,
and looked to its speedy removal by moral force.
Thus, We see, that while our forefathers recoc-
ni1ed slavery solely from political necessity,
which could not 'o be overcome. they placed On
rasioo, their condemnation Of slavery in any
form.
