 WEAKENING ALREADY.

Is Mir. Hayes backbone getting weak thus early in his administra- tion? Really it looks as though it were. Why, after his seemingly candid and earnest professions of q desire for peace and harmony at the South,-a peace and harmony which he said could oLly be secured by se- curing to the South the same right of local self-government which is en- joyed by other States-does he hesi- tate to carry out hls pledges? Why does he already begin to falter and shuttle about in as much indecision about his Southern policy as his predecessor? To falter here is the beginning of a grand failure through out his whole administration. Is he listening to the interruptions, trad ing politicians who got his prede' cessor into so many troubles? Mir Hayes can find better counsellors than these. Let him listen to tho demands of the country. Let hun listen to the voice of the people Let him read and heed the sober reasonable words which he may fine in the great newspapers. Here, fol instance, is short extract from the New York Herald which he may read with profit:
 No conditions are necessary to thu liberation of South Carolina and Louis jana, and we believe none can justly b, made. Senator Salisbury said the oth CT day, that if the federal troops il New Orleans were ordered not to inter fcre the women of the city would eX pei Packard from the State House.

 Symptoms of Diseased Liver. MAIN in the right side, under the

The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels m general are costive, sometimes alter native with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with g dull' heavy sensation in the back part. There generally aconsiderable loss ofmemory, accompanied with a pain full sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is some times an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, bis feet are cold or burning, and he complains of prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits arc low; and although he IS satisfied that exercise would be benc- fcial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every rem edy. Several of the above symp- toms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively dcranged.
 AGUE AND FEVER.
 DR. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF AcUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, arc productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who arc afflicted with this disease to give them A FAIR TRIAL.
 For all Bilious Arrangements, and as a simple purgatiye, they are un- equaled.

support. But the argument which would
take the support of the poor from the
county as such, and impose it upon the
townshipe, is equally valid when carried
to still further extent. The sub-divis-
ions of territory might with equal pro-
priety be carried to wards in cities and
school districts IN townships, and say
that each Of these should support its own
poor, Apply the same principle to the
expenses Of the courts, for instance, and
say that each township should only bear
an amount proportionate to the number of
suits which may be brought against citi-
zens of that township, and at once it be-
comes apparent that if there be any equity
at all in the principle it is wholly inappli-
cable in practice. So of various other
county expenses which a moments s
thoughtful reflection will readily suggest to
the Board.
There are some other points which
might properly be considered in this con-
nection, for example, an inquiry into the
cause why there is apparently SO much
more pauperism centered in cities and
villages than in the rural or agricultural
districts, also in regard to pauperism in
general. its causes, effects, and the proper
legislation for this growing and burden
some evil, but the scope and limits Of this
article forbid entering upon such an ex-
tended examination. We close then, al
we commenced, with an inquiry addressed
to the Board of Supervisors as to where
they derive the legal authority for their late
proceedings in regard to the support o
the poor of this county, and in what man
ner they propose to justify their action t
their constituents,
