The Chicago Times expresses the opin-
ion that Trumbull and other Senators
ought to have been expelled from the
United States Senate long ago for moral
treason, just as Breckenridge was the 9TH
er day for actual treason
lit strikes us there is no warrant In the
Constitution for such proceeding for
such crime. Indeed, we think the Com
stitution says nothing about moral treason
We confess difficulty in comprehending
the extent Of the meaning of the term,
and would not know how to frame an in
dlctment for, or what proof to bring, to
sustain the charge.
AS near as we can gather the idea from
the use made of the phrase by the Loco
foco press of the country, those who re-
gard the moral law of justice and right
eousness in political matters are guilty of
moral treason Hence the Times and
its coatrercs hold that Senator Trumbull
and straight-out Republicans generally
are guilty of moral treason, and deserve
the same punishment that the laws award
to open acts Of treason committed by JEFF
Davis crew Of secessionists And, accord
ing TO our observation, that portion of the
press entertain far more bitter and ma
lgnant feeling against such Republicans
as Senator Trumbull, than they do against
such traitors as Breckenridge. Indeed,
We incline to believe they would rejoice to
see the Republicans shot or hung for
moral treason. while it would, on the 9TH
er hand, fill them with grief to witness the
execution of their former Democratic con-
federates in the South for overt acts Of
treason.
The Times is stiekler for the Const-
tuition, however, and we should be pleased
to learn from it how the expulsion of Re-
publican Senators or the punishment Of
Republicans, who are loyal supporters OF
the Government, for the crime of 'smoral
treason is to be justified under the Con-

above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con

unto the third and fourth generation - indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, g |
will visit the iniqVities of the fathers upon
their Children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt OF ulcerous matter, which, III
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores, This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresscs
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; eonse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature
are still rendered fatal by this tant 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
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exerc;ss

Creative fancy! build awhile
A world in pure poetic style,
And strive, in plainest words, to tell
OF loves that in the bosom DWELL
Of man, by times, with hope inspired,
When woes and cares have all retired,
And retrospection teens with smile
That lights the soul an endless while.
Tho poets ever strain their verse,
Make poorest best, and better worse;
Let me, enraptured by my song,
Make all ills short and joys as long,
And sip from crystal streams Of youth
The very blossoming of truth,
That sheds an odor DER the earth
And lends cur little joys at birth;
Or tune my unpoetic Tyre
To common scenes of mans desire,
Where life wags on in hopeful glee.
Then to the midst of childhood scenes,
Where "Hope-land," all enrobed in dreams,
Is teeming with the fowerets rare
That deck the crowns we're proud to wear.
May I return with earnest muse,
And in soft strains as I can use,
Betray the tenor of the day,
And list to what have to say.
For oft in them we read n line
In'which our loves and joys combine
ToSteal the secrets of the past,
Where whilom hopes were thinly cast:
They bring again forgotten hours,
When love lay hid in Eden bowers,
And youth, so timid, burst not WOO
The charming Ewes as moderns do.
But, most, may bestir my heart,
And make its tenderness impart
spirit to my rustic rhyme
When styles are lost and words decline.
The ardor of the poet then
Leaps from my fancy to the pen,
And as the tide Of fortune turns,

Ague Cure,

FOR TIE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, Or Fever and Ague,
Remittemt Fever, chin Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodienl Headache, or Bilious
Ilendaciie, aEas Bilious Feyers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases originat-
Ing in hillary derangcIneHt, caused by
the Malaria Cf MiRsmatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community d.
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CuRE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease if taken on the first ap-
proach of its prcmoIitory symptoms. Its not only
the best remedy yet discovered fer this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermitens is that it contains no Quinlne
or mineral, consequently it produces no qunsm or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constltu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as II
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence OF
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gent, Heaaache, Blind
ness I0othache, Earache, Cata17h, Asthma, Fat
pitatton Painful Afectiol, Of the Spleen, HySter-
/ yaiagen,ent of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This CURE y expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling CT temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate i'll sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence it is more.valuable for protec-
ton than cure, and few will suffer from Inter
mittents if they avail themselves OF the protection
this remedy affords.
