II is a common

1t is common observation that there
are more sufferers from debility, among Ameri,
cars, than can be found among any other ciyi.
lizei nation. The reason is obvious. We take
too little exercise, and forget the wants Of the
body in the absorbing pursuits Of business. In
all sch cases, ordinary medicines can do little
good. What is required is JUS such a tonic
and inVigorator as DIR. J. Hos.etter has given
to the world, in his CELEBRATED "BiT.
IERS.' The weak aud nervous denizeh Of the
coSnunS'house, the exhausted toiler upon tho
shop'board and the prostrated student Of the
midnight lamp, have found a wonderful regen-
orator in the 'BIrrERs," and prefer il to more
'retentious, but less efficacious medicines.-

Charles O'Conor on Slavery.

Among the lawyers of New York. no
one occupies position more enviabe
than that Of Charles O'Conor. ESQ. He
made a speech at the late Union demon,
stration in tha, city, from which We ex
tract the following rs a sample Of the
general quality
81 maintain that negro slavery is not
unjust that il is benign in it's Influences,
both on the white man and ON the black.
maintain that it is ordained by nature :;
that it is n necessity OF both races that
in the climates where the black race
can live and prosper, nature herself
enjoins correlative duties on the black
man-and the white-whch cannot be
performed except by the preservation.
and, If the kissing ge' tlcman please, by
the perpetuation of yr' slavery.
IL contend that it Is not injustice to
leave the negro in the condition in which
ton he is adapted. Fitted only for a
state Of pupilage, our slave system gives
him a master to govern and supply his
deficiencies and in this there is no injus.
tice. Neither is it injustice in the mas.
ter /" compel Kim to labor, and thereby
afford to tha: master a just compensation
IN return Cor the care and talent employ.
ment in governing him. In this way
alone is the negro able to render himself
useful TO himself aud to the society in
which he is placed.
These are the principles, gentleman,
which the extreme measures of abolition
ism ahd its abettors compel us TO enforce.
This is the ground that we must take, or
abandon our cherished Union. We must
no longer favor political leaders who talk
about slavery being an evil nor must we
advance the doctrine that negro slavery
is thing which, al,h Dugh pernicious. is
to be tolerated merely because We have
made n bargain to tolerate it. We must
turn away from the teachings of f,nati
ism. Yielding to the clear decree Of ma.
turc, aud the voice of sound philosophy,
We must pronounce that institution just,
benefceh, lawful! and proper"
