Scrofula, or Kings Evil

i q constitutional disease, q corruption Of tho
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease ON any part Of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing wees, and,
above all, by the veneTesl infection. What
ever be its origin. it il hereditary IN the cen
stitution. descending I" from parents 70 children
unto the third and fourth generation )" indeed,
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, II
viii visit the iAiQuitiss q the AthAss upon
their children"
Its eAssts commence BY deposition from he
blood Of corrupt or ulceEous matter, which, IN
the lungs. liver. and internal organs, y termed
tubsrcles; IN the glands, swsllings; and on
the surface, eTuptions or sores. This foul cor.
sup6on, which gsnd9s IN the blood, aepresses
the energies Of liie 60 thas scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from seTofulous COM
plants. but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which. although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family hns its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases Of the liver. kidneys. BRAIN
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
a1e aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vicorate IL by healthy food and exercise

4 Happy New Year!

We come to our friends this woek, with n
hearty wish for their health, happiness and
prosperity for tho New Year. The time is one
of general rejoicing, and fit for the renewal of
our determinations for night and manhood, and
we hope every one will feel anew that energy
and never give up 80 necessary for prosper
ity and nobleness. Let us take the year with II
frmer step, a higher aim, and look at the
bright side, which a firm ,repose in the goodness
of God inspires.
The Freeman enters this week upon new
volume under the most favorable circumstances,
materially enlarged, and, we hope, improved.
There is, however, room for still further i'm
eprovement, which will be kept steadily in mind
during the. year, Cur motto is onward and
upward.

Troubled at our success and the determined
battle Of the Freeman against tyranny and cor
ruption, the Administration those Of
its mercenary P. Ms. who are SO destitute OF
honor as to lend themselves to the bastard bust
ness--is sending out all sorts of falsehOods
about the FreemGn, to induce its subscribers to
abandon it. But we arc happy in announcing
a continued increase Of numbers in subscribers,
and general prosperity. We commence the
year with larger list of names and those most
prompt in paying, of any since we have pub
lished the Freeman. The time will surely come
when these dishonest P. Ms. and the Admins
tration will find their kingdom divided and
given to the Medes and Persians.
Our opposition to wrong will never cease,
and while the greater majority Of Post Masters
are honorable men, there are few who will
find their names in black list which can do
, them as much harm as they can the Freeman;
besides, they may be called upon to prove their
ifalsehoods.

on Slavery in the States where it has already
placed its pestilent foot, it will by all constitu-
tional and legal means, endeavor to exclude this
most cruel and unjustifable of all species of tyr
any from intruding itself into any territory now
free. ltholds that by the very letteras well us the
spirit Of onr Consultation, and the genius of our
Government, all federal territory is consecrated
to freedom, and in power it will practice, as out
of power, it breaches this doctrine.
On the other side of this dividing line is
ranged and marshaled for battle, the Democrat
ic party South and North.-if the few crawling,
officiating, sycophants of that denomination at
tho North can be digni6ed as a party-boldly.
and defantly bearing aloft its sectional flag
stamped all over with treason, and shouting for
its war.cry, "Slavery or Disunion.' In the van
of this army of traitors stand the mad tire-eat
ers of the South, ever trampling and splitting up
on the ensign of the Republic; next appears
Buchanan and his timld and dishonest associates,
guarding the treasures and the baggage wagons
forming the commi-sariat department, and fur
nishing the Sinews Of war and last comes Doug
las and his creed of camp followers, doing the
dirty work of servants, and eating the cold vict
uals that would otherwise be thrown to the dogs
-usulted, beaten, kicked about by their lords
and masters, and yet ever crawling in the mire
and caresSing the proud hand that chastises them
The principle for which they are contending is
that Slavery is II just, wise, bonefcent institu.
ton, benign in its influence upon both master
and servant, and one of the highest evidences Of
our enlightened Christian civilization. They
hold that the Constitution has solemnly dedl-
Gated every inch of federal territory to the use
of Sla ry,-that in the national councils tho
voice of freedom cannot be heard, and il the
majority should there allow it to have utterancc
and ex preston, an infatuated South would shat
ter the Union into broken and dsmembered
fragme1 It's.
The issue having thus been shaped, and that
too, by the Democrats themselves, the princi-
pies in support of which they enter the contest
having tn US been authorftatively announced and
defined By the leaders at Washington, we accept
it and CO mmence the battle. We follow the
flag and KEEP step to the music of the Union.
We support ever, and stand fast by the Consi.
tuition, made for us in a day when freedom was
national and Slavery sectional. And wc take
our views of that Constitution from Washing
ton, and Ad ANS, and Jefferson, and not from
Caleb Gushing, Charles O'Connor, or James
Buchanan. Let those who, in their madness
threaten the Union in case Slavery is not tri.
umphant, not through fright blink the issue, but
stand as they do now squarely up to it, and
within.a year disunion and treason will meet
with defeat, al I'd rout so utter and overwhelm-
ing that the vic tors can we'll afford to spare the
few miserable victims that will be left for the
halter.
