A PILL CONVENTION.

Let every man and woman in the world who
suffers with Piles reflect and trace back the or
igin of their difficulties, and it will be found that
ninety-nine out of every hundred have taken
large quantities of drastic Pills for the cure of
Costiveness, Indigestion, Constipation, &c.,
Those who suffer from Piles may truly charge
the cause Of their suffering to these worthless
pills. If you would be rid of your piles take
DR.. Railways Pills; they are the only purga-
safety; they cure Costiveness. Indigestion, Liv-
er Complaint, Dyspepsia, Piles, Feverg of all
kinds; they purge thoroughly, but occasion no
weakness, irritation, or straining.

CANE PREsENrATIoN.--Ve had the pleasure
Of witnessing on Saturday evening last, the
presentation Of cane from Hon Myer Strouse
to Hon. A. H. CoAroth, Of Pennsylvania. which
took place ut the elegant rooms Of Mr.. Strouse
at Mrs. Pleasant's on + street. The cane is a
handsome piece Of ebony surmounted with a
gold head of American coin standard, with a
silver-mounted, 5. .casc-hardened steel ferrule-
the head bearing Che neat inscription I'M. Strouse
to A. II. Cofroth, 1863" The occasion was
graced by the presence of number Of dstin-
guished gentlemen and being surprise, the
happy illusions of esteem and affection in the
speeches were "delicately" appreciated. Mr..
Cofroth IN his reception of the stick, was for
cible, as well in the gracefuness Of his attitude
and the earnestness of his words, as in the ex-
treme modesty with which he acknowledged the
compliments of the donor. The usual inspir-
ing accompaniments so necessary TO give oclat
to an event like this, were particularly fine,
and with the substantials indulged in by the
company produced the feelings which forbid the
the expression 81 wish didn't come Wash

A MT for Political Preachers.

W. H. Chanting, Of Washington City, u
nisaran preacher, has been elected Chaplain
to the National House Of Representatives. He'
was elected by the Abolition members, the DEM
ocrats voting for Bishop Hopkins Of the Epis-
copal Church. Now what do the Tripitarian
preachers Of Abolitionism say to thiss They
tell us in their doctrinal sermons that Unitar.
ianism is infdelty and yet the men whorn their
prayers and sermons have helped to Hend to
Congress, endorse Unitariansm and 10y their
example recommend their constituents to do
likewise. Have they no tongues to reprove the
wickedness of their congressman in thus ele-
waiting to the sacred desk what they denounce
as infideHtya Rev. E. w. Kirby, Of the NJ. E.
Church and all other Abolition preachers in
Bedford County who hold that it is in accord
ance with the Christian religion to discuss poll
tics i'll the pulpit, will pleclse enlishten their
congregations in regard TO this matter. No
lodging, now, gentlemen, but let us know, in
plain words, your opinion, concerning the cleo
tion of Unitarian over Trinita rian minister
as Chaplain to Congress. We have often told
you that New England is striving to force its
religion as well as its politics upon the people
of the other portions of the Union. You see,
now, how this asseipon is verified. Unitarian
;sm is the religion Of the Few England agitators
and as they have succeeded in misleading you
with their Abolition Jack o'the Lantern, they
expect you also to follow their religions I9nis
fztaus, Unitarianism, Abolitionism and inf
deity go hand in hand. Who was Theodore
Parker, who are Bsecher, Cheever, Greely,
Phillipsa Accordipsiso your cresds, infdels, ev-
cry one of them? And yet you, who profess
to be evangelical aad orthodox, help the agents
Of these men into place and power, and thus
enable them to break down your own religion
and set up in its stead what you tell the people
is infdelitY. Now, pray, be consistent! Either
cease to preach against Unitaranism, or reprove
your friends in Congress for endorsing it.
Which will ye do?
