Genuine Patriotism.

Senator Andrew Johnson, Of Tennessee,
was sereuaded on the evening OF his arrival
in Washington, on which occasion he made
a brief speech, which would occupy too
much OF our space at thjs lime. In reading
it as published in the Philadelphia Press,
we were particularly struck with Ihe follow
: ing sentiment:

ty own in Tennessee. My life may be
required to lay upon the altar Of my coun>
Try, but let my country he saved She is
right, and right and justice must prevail,
while the stars and stripes may continue TO
float over u.s.
We of .he Northern States, where all are
loyal, known little Of the actual hazards
which men in the seeded States encounter
who entertain OF venture to express such
sentiments as these. Our patriotism de-
manls no sacrifice of personal secnrily and

on the hunt for our lives. We sleep quiet
ly al nigh, and pursue in conscious security
our avocalions by day. BH wish men sill
uated as Senator johnson was at his home
in Tennessee, it required Roman courage
to be a patriot. Treason, remorsele$s,
blood-ihirsly, was al! around him; his
dwelling might at any moment be given to
the flames, his person 10 outrage or his life
TO destruction To have drliled along with
the current OF rebellion would not only have
been safe and easy, but would have been
popular. Sill, with his lie in his hand,
he spoke plainly, courageousiy, definitely
in favor of the Constitution. He wavered
not one moment in his loyalty TO the Union.
In Tennessee, as in Washington, he avowed
his allegiance TO the glorious Old Flag and
denounced secession as alike wicked in
principle and ruinous in policy Such men
should be respected and honored by the
true hearted millions OF the Republic -Lane

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is q constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, BY which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
peryadcs the whole body, and may burst out
in disease OH any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vcnercal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, ~
will visit the iniQuities of the fathers upon
their children" rstef ...... 81.
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or uloerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous 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 has 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
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
feetion, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigoratc it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in
