~One of the humanitarian movement

HTOne OF The humanitarian movements
Of our times although little known as such
can hardly be evet estimated in its impor.
lance upon the well being Of our widely
scattered communities. The population Of
the American States is in many sections
so sparse that skillful Physicians are hard
ly available to them. Vast numbers Of our
people are obliged TO employ in sickness
such medical relief as they can hear Of
from each other, or indeed any they can
get from any quarter. Hence arises the
great consumption of Patent Medicines a.
mong us, greater by far than in any Of The
old countries, where skilful physicians are
accessible to all classes, Unprincipled men
have long awaited themselves Of this nec-
essity, TO palm OF their worthless nostrums,
until the " ord has become SYNONYMOUS with
imposition and cheat. One of our leading
Chemists in the East DR. AVER, is pursu-
ing q course which defeats this inquiry
He brings not only his own, but the best
skill Of our times 10 bear, for the production
of the best remedies which can DO made
These are supplied TO the world, in con-
venient form at low prices, and the people
will'no more buy poor medicines instead
Of good at the same cost than they will bran
instead Of flour. The inevitable oonse-
qucnce Of this is, that the vile compounds
that food our country are discarded for
those which honesty accomplish the end in
view,-which cure. Do we ever estimate
its importance, in believing that this pros
psct of supplan,ing the by-wOrd medicine,
with those Of actual worth and virtue is
fraught with immense consequence for good
to the masses of our peopls.-Gazette and
Chronicle, Peru, 10.

Religious Liberty in China.

The Celestials have made treaties within
the past year with the United States England.
Prussia, and France. in each of which free
federation to Christianity and 'tall the privi-
leges of the most favored nation" are guar
anteed to the contracting power. Nothing
is said in these contracts Of the universal
principles of morality, or subjectior to gov
ernment-but the slipulations are as dicta-
tory to the Chinese respecting the treatment
of their own people as regarding those of the
contracting powers The rebels, who were
recently religious but have now become a
formidable political body, are free to use the
protection Of these treaties against the gov
ernment nominally for religious, but actually
for seditious. purposes. The right of travel,
to full security for persons and property, and
to obedience to any requirements of any
Christian sect. (under such construction as
the respective foreign contractors choose) is
secured to both Chinese and foreigners, un-
der penaly of chastisement by any one or
more of the treaty making powers, for any
violation of these rights. Neither France,
Prussia. nor England conceedes any such
rights to the Christian missionaries or agents
of any other power Throughout its territories
The treaty of the United States is the only
one that is at all reciprocal. 1t stipulate'
that .'those who quietly profess principles o
the Christian religion, as professed by tn
Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches
shall not be harrassed or prosecuted on &C
count of their faith. whether citizens OF th
