81 think it wrong to hold men in bondge at any
time and under any CIRCUMSTANCES. thlnE 1t right
and just therefore, to abolish slavery when we have
the power at any time, at all times, under any cir
cumstances. Now, sir, far as the objection rests
upon the time when this measure Is proposed, beg
leave to say that if the present time il not the right
time then there must be, or there must have been
some other time and that must be time that is al
ready past or time yet to come. Well, sir, slavery
has existed here under the sanction of Congress for
fifty years undisturbed. The right time then, has
nat passed. 1t must, therefore, be a future time.

us how far down in the future the right tine heSl
When will it be discreet to bring before Congress
and the people the abolition of slavery in the Dis

In 1850, in the National Senate, this man under
took to deny the validity of the solemn legislative
compact existing, the same occasion so
nobly recognized by Mr.. Webster, by which four
new States are to be hereafter admitted from Texas.
He said Nh position is that they hare no right to
cons in, If Congress rejects their Institutions.
In an argument made in the Supreme Court ofthe
United States in 1s49 Mr. Seward denied all rights
of property in Slaves, in this language:
Property and possession in common speech, are
predcated as incidents belonging to the relation of
master and slave; but the terms are inaccurate,
without foundation in lazy, and essentially false.
The institution of slavery accustoms US to contound
the broadest Distinctions in nature, not less than 10
subVert the plaiaest principles or justice. The
right of individual property is derived from the
consent of the Creator. When he had finished a
world and furnished it with bounties he gave to the
last being created to inhabit, and the only one ca
pable of governing it, DOMINION the right of pro-
perty and that dominion was universal and yet
man was excepted from it. The right of dominion

Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades 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 NAV
not destroy. The scrofulous tuint is yariously
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 venereal 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, "I
will visit the inquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs is termed
tubercles; i'll the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions 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 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.
One quarter OF all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
10 cleanse it from the system we must renoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in-
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

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

EASES, DRopsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in "Mpuity ofMe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rila is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

FOR TIE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Rcmittent Fever, chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, PERIODICAL Headache, or Bilious
for the whole class OF diseases originate
| Ing In hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria OF Miasmatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURB" expels the miasmatc poison of FEVER
AND AoUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, if taken the first ap-
proach OF its premonitory symptoms. tits not only
the best remedy yet discovered for 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-
tion. great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure Of Intermttents is that il contains no Qunine
or mineral, consequentlyit it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu-
tion. Those cured by it are left as healthy as If
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, Rheun,atisn,, Go,H, Headache Blind
ness, 10othache Earache, Catd,rh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful affection Of Spleen, HySter-
ics, Pain IN the BoIoeLs, Colo, Paralysis and De-
rGngenlet Of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the Intermittent
type, or become periodical. This "CuRE" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection TO
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the maarious districts If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
tion than cure and few will ever suffer from Inter-
mittents il they avail themselves Of the protection
this remedy affords.

Freedom Of Speech and the Press.

The right of free speech ana OF free
Press, had, we heretofore believed. be-
come so identified with Republican insti-
tutions, az to ensure the preservation OF
their inviolability in any crisis th=. might
arise in the affairs Of the American people.
Indeed, We had learned to regard these
rights as not only inherent and inviolate.
but as clothed with sanctity that not even
the rude hand Of despotism would dare to
invade. We had watched, with painful
emotions. the forcshadowing Of the from
bles now upon the country. We had
noted and deplored the dark cloud of IA
naticism gathering at the North; aud
viewed, with distrust and dismay. the
sectional hostility that that fauaticism had
eugendered. We we'll knew, ere the
Charleston Convention had been three
days in session. that without a reaction in
the popular mind. the death kncll of the
Union was sounded. We knew that
Southern patriotism, or rather Southern
forbearance, had stsod lite last test, and
that the fiery Huegcnots OF South Carroll
m had deterained. that the oppression.
from which their forefathers Aed century
ago. should not be revisite.l upon them BY
