SLAVERY IN THE TERRITORIES.


Resolved, That, claiming fellowship with, and
desiring the cooperation Of all who regard the
preservation Of the Union under the constitution
as the paramount ssue-and repudating all sec

the American Democracy recognize and adopt the
pfneiples contained in the organic laws establish

embOdying the only sound and safe solution OF
the "slavery question:" upon which the great
national idea of the people Of this whole country

The Donaldsonville squatter sovereigns
in Louisiana received most decided rebuff
in correspondence which took place before
the Baltimore Convention between a COM
mittee of theirs and Gen. B. B. SHINES,
elector of the fourth district This commit
tee, appointed by the Donaldsonville con-
vention, propounded to Gen. SHINES the
following questions;
1st viii you endorse the democratic na>
tional platform iu case the Baltimore Con-
vention will leave it as it is now?
I'd. Will you support the nominee of that
Baltimore Convention, be he who he may?
Sd Do you recognise the members of the
democratic convention, assembled at Donald
sopville on the 9th, as true democrats !?
The following is the caustic response:
PoINrE CoUPEE, JUNE %, 1860.
GENTLEMEN I now proceed, according
to promise contained in previous letter,
to answer the interrogatories contained IN
your communication of the 9Th inst.

crHEADAcHE is the favorite sign by which ma
ture makes known any deviation whatever from
the natural state of the brain, and viewed in this
light it may be looked on a safeguard intended
to give notice of disease which might otherwise
escape attention. till too late to be remeded; and
its indications should never be neglected. Head
aches may be classified under two names, viz:
Symptomatic and Idiopathic. symptomatic Head
ache is exceedingly common and is the precursor
of great variety Of diseases, among which are
Apoplexy, Gout, rheumatism and all febrile dis
eases. In its nervous form it is sympathetic of
disease of the stomach constituting Sick Headache,
of hepatic disease constituting Bilious Headache,
of worms, constipation and other disorders of the
bowels, as we'll as renal and uterine Affections
Diseases of the heart are very frequently attended
with Headaches; An@ma and plethora are also
affections which frequently occasion headache
Idiophatic Headache is also very common. being
usually distinguished by the name of Nervous
Headache, sometimes coming on suddenly in a
state q apparently sound health and Frustrating at
once the mental and physical energies, and in 9th
or instances it comes on slowly, heralded by de-
preston Of spirits acerbity of temper. In most
instances the pain is in the front of the head, over
one or both eyes, and sometimes provoking vomit-
ing; under this class may also be named Neural sa.
For the treatment Of either class of Headache
the Cephalic Pills have been found sure and safe
remedy. relieving the most acute pain in few
minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating the
diseases Of which Headache is the unerring index.

Constipation or Costiveness.

No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to" is so
prevalent, SO little understood, and so much neg
lected as Costiveness. Often originating in care
lessness, sedentary habits; it is regarded as a
slight disorder of too little consequence to excite
anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor and
companion of many of the most fatal and danger
GUS diseases, and unless early eradicated it will
bring the sufferer to untiineiy grave. Among
the lighter evils of which costiveness is the usual
attendant are Headache, Collie. Rheumatism, Foul
>Yreath, Piles and others Of like nature, while
sstrain Of frightful diseases such as Malignant
ApaSA bcesses, Dysentary, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia,
chondriasis.E Epilepsy. Paralysis, Hysteria, Hypo-
their presence in and Insanity, first indicate
tom. Not unfrequenty> fI}sey this alarming symp-
nate in Constipation, but take hassena,
existence unless the is eradicated in an early
stage. From all these considerations it follows
that the disorder should receive immediate atten.
ton whenever it OCCURS, and no person should
neglect to get box Of Cephalic Pills on the first
appearance Of the complaint, as their timely use
will expel the insduous approaches of disease and
destroy this dangerous foe to human life.
