Hayti---Asit was--.As it is.

No region has been more favorably situated
for receiving the blessings Of civilization than
the Queen of the Antilles. Early in the pres
ent century her Independence was achieved
and all enemies hanished or exterminated
from her soil and philanthropists Of every
nation prayed and hoped that Hayti would
soon assume an important place among the
nations. Such were the expectations Of the
frieLds of the negro race. WlthN soil of1n.
bounded fertility laborers we'll aeouainted
with its culture and climate admirably adam
ted to their constitution, it was imagined, that
once free, we should. behold a race eousl d
the white IN commerce, agriculture and relig-
ION. Now, how have these hopes been full
filled! What are the results Of these fifty
years experiment, under the most favorable
circumstance Let us honestly answer these
questions tss = =iax sg

has 183 sugar plantations, '735 cottoH-Oyer
5000 coffee plantations, and as many more

GREAT BLESSING TO THE AFFECTED
Dr. M'Lane, the inventor of the celebrated
Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming ltros., Pitts
bufgh, Pa, used these Pills for several years
in his practice before he could be induced to
offer them to the public in such manner as
to make them known throughout the country.
This learned physician felt the same repug-
nance that all high-minded men of science feel
in entering the lists against those uncrupulous
empires who obtrude their useless noStrums
upon the public, and rely upon q system of
putting to sustain them. Convinced, however
Of the real value of the Liver Pills, and in
fluenced by the plain dictates of duty, the
Doctor finally authorized Fleming Bros, Of
Pittsburgh, Pa, who are now the sole proprie-
tors, to manufacture and place them before the
public. This great medicine has not dsap-
pointed the expectations OF his friends, the
medical faculty, at whose instance he was in
duced to place them before the public in their
present popular form. From every quarter
do we hear the most gratifying accounts Of
their wonderful curative dfects-the East and
West, the North and South, are alike laden
with "tidings of great joy" from the afflicted.
These wonderful Pills have completely con-
quered that great sceurge of America, the
Liver Complaint
az Purchasers will be careful to ask for
DIR. M'LANE'S Celebrated Liver Pills manu-
featured by FLEMING BROS, of Pittsburgh
Pa All other Venfuge in comparison are
worthless. DR.. M'Lane's genuine Vermiflge,
also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be
had at all respectable drug stores. None gem

Of the Joint select Committee. on the

The joint select committee TO whom was
referred the Governors message on the sub
ject of the Planters Bank Bonds, have had the
same under Consideration, and ask leave to re-
port, that, in view OF The present aspect of po-
iitical affairs, and the unexpected agitation of
the question of the payment Of the Planters
Bank Bonds, at this session of the Legislature,
it would be impolitic to agitate question Of
such magnitude, which must result in divi-
sion of the people of the State and divert their
attention from much more important questions
of State policy, now impending and soon to
be acted upon, which win require the united
voice and action of our people successfully to
defend. The committee, therefore, ask to be
discharged from any further consideration of
the subject.
