THE NAMELESS Death,
BIZ GIoRoE LIPPARE.

There is one of the signers of the
Declaration OF Independence whose
death would like to picture, but am
almost afraid. --
In the fearful hour of the Revolu-
tion, when our army was withOutarms,
our treasury bankrupt, this signer, by
the force Of his personal character
alone, gave muskets, swOrdS and can
non to the soldiers, hundreds of thou.
sands Of dollars to the Continental
Congress. lie was the life, the blood
tlie,veins of, our financial world. To
him the Congress Hooked for g;d;. to
his coNnting,hduse Washington turn
ed his eyes, in his direst peril, and
was not denied. The dollars of this
signer fed our starving soldiers; his
personal credit gave US throughout
this world that which is worth more
than g9ld-0onfdenos.
And yet he died. Howe Not in
a duel, like Button Gwinett; nor sur.
rounded by the peaceful scenes Of
home, like Jefferson and Adams; nor
did he meet his fate il battle. But he
died
am ashamed, afraid to tell it.
Not two hundred yards from the old
State,house, there rose, some years
ago, an editice, whose walls were
black, whose only echoes were sobs
and groans, whose ornaments were
some iron manacles and stout tim
Der gIbbet. 1t seemed like a Curse
frozen into stone; a Pest!lence imper.
sonifed in bars and bolts and black
walls. In the Revolution, while the
British held this city, this edifice rung
all day and night with the horrible
cries Of rebel prisoners, dying the
death Of dogs, their hearts eaten up by
u Hague, which had been created by
the Glth and corruption Of the dem
After the Revolution, the place made
hidtous by a thousand murders was
tue residence of!hleyes, pirates, assas
sins, lelons Of every grade. Among
the various groups Of ielonS, who bias
phemed all day in this stone pande
monium, there was Il certain class dis
tinguished from the others by their 81
lence, their pale faces stamped with
mental agony, their evident superiori-
ty in point OF appearance and educa.
ton. ...
Some of this latter class were men,
some were women; torn from their
homes by the hands Of brutes, in the
shape OF officers of the law, they were
hurled through the gates and lett to
rot in the company Of the robbers, the
pirates, the murdorers.
This class OF felons were guilty OF
8 hidecus crime, deserving Of worse
penalties than theft or murder.
They were called InsOlvent DEBTORS.
To me this law of imprisonment for
debt has even seemed holy thing,
worthy of the golden age Of New Zea-
land, when burning little children and
innocent women was pastime for the
jocular cannibals. 1t is, indeed, a
blessed law, worthy Of the blood and
tears which were shed in the Reyolu.

The Charleston Mercury of the 10th
thus discOurses on recent events:
Great events crowd rapidly one M.

and the greatest event Of the century
upon the Western hemisphere was
transacted in Charleston. The Union
of the States OF North America was
dissolved by the action OF the State of
South Carolina.
1t appears to be a decree Of history
that upon all great revolutions, OF

Iple, tile red seal Of blood must be set.

Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,

the most eaectual remedy which tho medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bincd from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of thu
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affcc-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvR
and SKIN DISEASES, ST.. ANTHoNY's FIRE,

in "iapwity ofAe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of tie blood Tho
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapav
rila is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Its effects commence by deposition from tho
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tlberclcs; in the glands, swellings and on
the surface, eruptons 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: eonse-
qucntly vast numbers perish Ivy disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint 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.
