public too fondly hoped this recocpitiNn

But in the Convention that framed tbo,
Constitution the SLAVE POWER rose an&
demanded the indirect recognition os
slavery, and the legalization Of the slave
trade for term Of years. The fatal snir
it of the one compromise prevailed and
rather than 90 back to English allegiance
and taxation without representation. tbe
trainers of that instrument legalized the
slave trade. The slave power grew apoee.
Kentucky, and Tennessee, and Alabama
and Louisiana, were gained. Even the

GRAVEL AND STONE.

BY this we understand q collection of sand.
like substance having been lodged in the pas
sage of the urine. When the system is in
healthy state, this substance is carried off by
the natural passage of the body but when
there is a weakness of any organ, especially
the kidneys, they become icapable of expel-
ling such sandy concretions, and consequently
they are lodged in the kidneys, urethra, or
the bladder, causing great inflammation to
those organs, and great pains and swelling,
and great difficulty in voiding urine. 1t has
been admitted by many physicians, that tMorse's
Indian Root Pills are made cut ofsome partcu-
lar plants which have wonderful charming
influence in dissolying the substance which
has clogged the passage, and by their cooling
properties, they expel all inflammation, and
leave the water passage in an active and
healthy state. From three TO four of these
Pills night and morning, from one to two
weeks, will decide how this dreadful disease
is to be treated, and as they remove the cause
of every kind of diseases, it is utterly impos-
sihle for them to fail in curing the gravtl as
they pnclog the passage, and leave the parts
in q healthy and lively condition.
Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are sold
by all dealers in Medicines.

The Douglas Democrats are oyer-anx-

Missouri Compromise. So anxious that
they can't tell the truth when talking
on the subject. A resolution passed at

and the right of the people in every State and
Territory TO establish their own institutions
in their own way, subject only to the consti-
tutional powers of Congress apd the restraint
Of a Just qa0rdtitg.
That Is the doctrine of every true Re-

@ The "Wise imbroglio" is just no


pa The "Wise imbroglio" is just now
creating an intense excitement in the
President-making circles of this GLORIOUS
union" We will state the principal fea-
lures of the affair briefly. 1t seems that
Gov. Wise of Virginia, desires the
Charleston nomination, and means to
have it. One Barney Donnelly, of New
York, having nothing else to do, went to
Saratoga, and while there wrote letter
to Gov. Wise, in which he made some
Aattering assurances that that eminent pol
itician not statesman-copld either have
the vote of, or neutrallze, the New York
delegation. Gov. Wise-very unwisely,
no doubt he now thinks-wrote him a
short letter, Gan unusual circumstance, J
the pith of which is in the following ex-
tract
x ~ have apprehended all along
that the Tammany Regency would carry
united delegation from New York to
Charleston, For whom? Douglas, !
know, is confident; but you may rely on
it that Mr.. Buchanan is himself candi-
date for denomination, and all his pat
ronage and power will be used to disap-
point Douglas and other aspirants. Our
only chance is to organize by districts
and either whip the enemy or send two
delegations"
Now Mr.. Donnelly took the liberty Of
exhibiting this letter to Mr., Wise's friends
at meeting of the New York State Cen
tral Committee, in Albany, and by some
means it was copied and published. On
seeing the letter in print, the friends o.
Mr.. Wise proclaimed it ga forgery, o,
something agorse." But not so did Mr.
Wise--on the contrary he came out with
letter five times as long, in which ht
did not deny that he wrote it, but explain
ing the manner in which he got into
print; thereby astounding alike his friends
and enemies. Thus far she matter has
created an intense excitement, and it is
said that Coy. Wise has fatally injured
his Presidential aspirations by the letter
and the explanation.

test of action. Republicans hold that
there are some things which even ma
iorlty may not do-7enslaving a portion OF
the minority legaf7zing murder and
other crimes being Of the class of acts
which a just morality restrain even
the majority from doing. Ifthe Isdser
can find paragraph in any Republican
speech, newspaper or platform of 1856,
inconsistent with the resolution under
consideration, it will be some excuse fol-
using the following coarse and autrathftl
language, copied from that paper Of Au-
gust 3D.:
What spectacle is now presented
by this party of fraud and humbuggery
1t was built up entirely upon the idea Of
hostility to the great Democratic doctrine
of Popular.Soverelgnty, and now we find
it solemnly avowing its entire and une-
quivocal devotion to that Identical Ian
guage employed by the Democracy in theil
original declaration of that principle" +"
The Ledger knows, as does all its in,
telligent readers, that the Republican par.
ty was built up by the people to oppose
the extension Of SlaOery. Itknows there
is not the shadow of truth for asserting
that "hostility to the Democratic doctrine
of Popular Sovereignty" formed a part
of the Republican creed. For there is
no such doctrine, and never was, as was
proved by nearly every professed Demo
crat in Congress voting to force an OBJ,
noxious Constitution on the people of
Kansas, and epery one Of them voting
against the Constitution which the peo-
pie desired, and the Ledger defended
them in this vote.
If there ever existed hnmbug party,
1t is that of the Warren Ledger. The
only thing that saves it from being a
hopeless uonentity, is the brilliant talents
and untirelng energy Of It's only sincere
adherent, Hon. John W. Forney.
