Then and Now.

On the 9th day of October 1850, Hon.
Cyrus L. Durham then member, from the
third Congressional district of this State.
made carefully prepared speech in Con-
gress on the question of admitting Califor-
MIA as State. The following is an ex-
tract from that speech:
"Sir, l believe it is conceded fact OH
all hanls, that when country is conquered
and annexed to this. the municipal laws in
force therein at the time of such annexation
continue in force until abolished or amen
ded. unless they are in conflict with the
spirit of our Constitution. If they are so.
they are. ofcoursc, by being brought under
its jurisdiction. ipso .forto abolished

opinion Of the gentleman from North Car
DINA Mr.. ycn,blc] to the contrary not
withstanding. The laws Of Mexico in
force in these territories when they were
annexed. without doubt. prohibited slave
ry therein. Hence, unless these laws are
in conflict with the Constitution, slavery is
now absolutely prohibited in these Terrific
ries. There can be no such confliction I'M
less it be true, as asserted 10y Southern gen.
tlemen, that the Constitution is slave
Constitutions, and takes with it slavery
wherever it goes. Is this SO? Let ME
advise Southern gentlemen to he cautious
how they handle edge tools. This posi-
tion proves too much for them. One oil
the great causes of complaint which they
have alleged against the free States is their
interference with. and agitation of. this
subject of slavery. But tell me not that

IL There is no surcr criterion of the merit of a
medicine than its popularity with the masses of the
people. Physicians may theorize over the proper
ties and value of new remedy, and receive or re-
ectit according to its adaptation to their peculiar
tons of pathology and therapeutics; but the unpro
fessional public are more practical in their views
and judge of the merit of remedy by its success
1t is to its unparalleled success in diseases of the
lungs and throat. that John Bulls Compound Peeto-
raj Of Wild Cherry owes itspresent wide spread ana

A Great Blessing to the Am,c,cd.

A Great Blessing to the Afflicted.
~ The number and formidable character of
diseases of the Liver have long challenged the at.
tention of medical men. Some of these diseases,
classed under the general term of Consumption,
have been supposed incurable and the unhappy pa
tent allowed to die, without medical science to offer
him a hope Of recovery. Happily this can no Ion
ger be the case. A remedy has been found which
will cure all complaints, of whatever character a
rising from arrangement OF the Liver. The Pills
discovered by DR.. M'Lane, prepared solely by
Fleming Bros, Pittsburgh, Pa, act directly on the
Liver; and by correcting its operation and purify
ing it from disease. cuts off and exptirpates the
complaints which have their origin in the diseases
of this organ. Remedies hitherto proposed for liv-
er complaints have failed to operate upon the scat
OF the disease; but Dr. McIane's Pills make them
selves felt upon the action of the Liver, and by
cleansing the fountain dry up the impure streams
of disease which thence derive their existence

by FLEMING BRos. of Pittsburgh, Pa. There arc
other Pills purporting to be Liver Pills. now before

The Republicans Of Boone comfy

The Democrat week before last contain

of exciting prejudice against Hezekish.-
Mr.. Henry B. T.. may have his peculiari-
ties and also his enemies. like all business
men. but in our dealings with him we have
always found him just and honorable. =
But. even admitting all they charge him

brother of another man we could name, or
the man himself. We believe he has new

quences of his crimes. If this game is to
be played we warn gentlemen that we are
in possession of certain facts the recital of
which will not DO very pleasant to them.
We do not believe that it is just or proper
to hold a man responsible for the sins OF
his relatives, but sause for the goose is al
SO sauce for the gander.
The Democrat and the leaders of that
party think it outrageous in MS to speak OF
the private acts Of their candidates, but
they do not hesitate to assail the private
character of even the relatives of our can
didates, for the purpose of making politi-
cal capital. Are they not consistent sci

less, that no man who gives utterance TO
such sentiments, in a land of freedom
where every man has the privilege of vo-

How long, had such man the power,

allowed to vote at all? No generous,
whole-souled lover of republican institu-

Dor sach a sentiment in his bosom for a
moment. His official extravaganza and
shameful neglect of the public interests in
the purchase of his books and stationery
affords additional evidence of his anti-re-
