ual exclusion from the United States,
for reasons of state, and chiefly as nee
essary to the future internal aud extern
al security Of the Republic. We have
in no instance taken the ground of the
Abolitionists. and We have RETAINED from
doing SO partly because We do not Who'll
ly agree with them, and partly il defer
ence to the passions and prejudices Of
our countrymen. But it is by no meaus
improper for statesman to reflect that
slavery is sin on the part of the nation
that, having the power to remove it, au-
thorizes, or tolerates, or conniycs at its
existence; and that as nations have no

punished in this world.
Our indifference to the wrong done Ly

armies, if he sees US resolved to put
away the evil Of our doings, to remember

help the helpless, and to set the captive

The Government has row the right
under the Constitution, to wipe out from
cur national escutcheon the foul stain Of
slavery; and if it refuses, or if the fac

cold hearted sHlfshness Of the people pre-
vent it from doing so, what right have

We own that even on moral and rcl.

DR.. GalIlet, Of Luynes, France, has
published an account Of the efficacy of
the sesquichloridc of iron for curing the

this remedy in curing the painful dis
ease in question, | rosorted to the same
method, and with the greatest benefit in
four cases. | may here remark that ul.
GERS about tho nails are occas ionaly OBJ
served among cur soldiers, having escap.
ed the attention Of the medical boards,
or being caused by the pressure of the
boot during forced marches. Under
these circumstances, prompt and pain
less cure may be effected by inserting

and the prctruding flesh, and powdering
the latter with the same substance A
large bandsge should be applied over all,
not impregna:ea with the liquid sesqui-
chloride OF iron; precaution which
may, how yer, be useful, as the folds of
the band dry rapidly, and preserve their
situation IN more exact manner. Ga

a care follows after two or three appIica-

days or in week at the fsrthest, the
original pain ceases, the swelling sub.
