WEEKLY SENTINEL

JAftCAKY 20 A Olffervmce. Tha Journal claim graai credit for OoTernor for Dot oaring eacrciaad ih pardoning to the mm extent that Goreroor Haiom did during hie adminitttration. It is well known that the arrette and con riet ions fur crime bar diminished ana tail ally mice the comraeaeensntof the war, and the demands for Executive clemency bare consequent! j not been so preeeiug. There is, sower er, a marked difference in the administrations of these Executives which the Journal fails to notice. Governor Hammoxp was never charged by the asesabers of his own party or ereu bj bis political opponents with corruption or venality in the discharge of his official duties. ' Northern Disloyalty. The Detroit Fret Pres says President Lixool was lately present at a lecture bj Ho ace GaszLXY, st tbe biithsouian Institute. We 11 next expect him to send for Yascet and to one of his harangues. Gkjeelet has done more barm to the present Administration, and given more aid to the enemy, than any other man in tbe country. Any mark of taror, however slight, shown to him by the President, will awaken tbe distrust of loysl men. Indeed we beHere it is time for temporizing with N orthern teeon to cease. Mr. Lincoln should stand boldly before the country and announce that he agrees with all coneer rstire citizens, and places Abolitionism and secession in the same category of crime and infamy. "Asasits bosom" may be a desirable dwelling, but patriots will never consent to nestle there with Hobace Gbkelky. A forwaril n ov m rn t . A friend who was at Cairo on Monday informs us that G neral Osant's division was about prepared for an advance movement. The gunboats, which he describes as floating batteries almost gun proof, equipped with armament of the most formidable character, were ready for their desti nation. The flotilla, composed of gun and mortar boats and steam tugs, will take about ten thousand men, and about sixty thousand will adrance upon Columbus br land. Gen. Gbast, an energetic officer, is determined that his division shall no longer remain idle, and it is confidently exected that the rebel forces at Columbus will be attacked by land and water not later than Sunder next. The fortifications at Columbus bare been described as a second Malakoff, and if a contest occurs there it must be of a most sanguinary character, whatever may be its result. i in Self-Acknowleolajed Slanderer, A short time ago the editor of the Journal charged (as lie said) of his own knowledge that a secret political society was in existence in this city having for its object a treasonable opposition to the Government. He also stated that the names of its members were known. We challenged him to prove these assertions, or else wear the brand of a wilful and malicious slanderer. He has failed to produce any evidence to sustain his charges, and therefore tbe community must regard him as a self-acknowledged slanderer. In its issue of last Saturday, the Jour nal made the serious charge that we had published a forged letter. It stated most positively that the letter referred to was written in the office the night before its publication. We challenged the Editor to sustain this charge or else admit himself to be a self convicted falsifier. The paper is mum, and the Editor is as dumb as an ass. He fails to meet the issue. Can any confidence be placed in the statements of a paper which thus wilfully and maliciously lies? Is it entitled to any respect whatever? A tliange tat the ( alilnot. The telegraph informs us that Gen. Camesox has vacated the War Department and that tbe President has selected the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton to occupy this important place. This is a move in the right direction. Mr. Camexon is the only member of the Administration who has openly arowed Abolition sympathies and his successor has the reputation of entertaining decided conservative sentiments. Mr. Staxtox was formerly a citizen of Ohio but for several years has resided in Washington Citv. He is a lawyer of high reputation and is said to possess administrative ability in an eminent degree. Upon the disruption of Mr. Bichaxan's Cabinet Mr. Stanton for a short time filled the position of Attorney General in the place of Mr. Black, who was transferred to the State Department. We hare no doubt he will infuse vigor and energy into this most important department of the public service in tbe present crisis of the country, and that the reckless extravagance which has characterized the administration of Mr. Caxexox will be succeeded by a wise economy and strict accountability in all subordinates. In this appointment Mr. Lixcolx manifests a disposition to rely upon tbe Democratic conservative element to sustain him in his effort to maintain the integrity of the Government and we hope the integrity of the Constitution and the Union. Personal Indorsements. Tbc Republican organ is very much dissatisfied with the Democratic State Convention for its refusal, sa it charges, to indorse Senator Douglas and ex Governor Wrioht and a failure to notice in the official proceedings a resolution fo that effect. The gentleman who offered the resolu'iou withdrew it himself when he found the Convention was indisposed to consider mere personal indorsement for political effect. Posthumous honors had already been paid to tbe memory of the deceased Senator in every way that could be grateful to his personal and political friends. And we presume that ex Gorernor Wbioht himself and his true friends do not claim that he has recently rendered such distinguished services to his country, that would entitle him to that special consideration any more than many others. The gallant leider of the Democracy in 1856, the lamented Willabd, had deveatted -m e tbe as.-ernblui- of a Democratic State Convention, but his friends did not think it --ar . to renew the tokens of respect which had been paid to his memory, or that a failure to do aoby the Convention was a repudiation ol one whom the Democracy bad honored. Xeitaer did the Convention intend any disrespect to the dele gate who offered the resolution in refusing to en teruiu it. The Convention was not assembled to eulogise men, and there was a determination not to permit the past dissensions about personal favorites to disturb its harmony. The Journal, utterly fading to create any impression against the principles enunciated by tbe Convention or the candidates it nominated, is laboring bard, but with no effect whatever, to excite prejudice against its action by calling it a "Bright Convention." Tbe old feud of Bwoht and Wbioht is played out, and it can not be revived. Tbe attempt to do so is a shallow Republican trick. And neither of those individuals had any more influence in controlling the action of the Convention than the humblest delegate pres ent, and we say this without intending any disrespect to the Senator who has a certificate of loyalty from a Republican Investigating Committee, or to tbe distinguished as Governor, both of wtiona hare been honored by the Democracy of Indiana for the past quarter of a century in a marked de grea. tyThe Journal of yesterday attributes a poach to Mr. M. A. 0. Paukarb, of Marshall coauty, which he did not utter, nor did he make any remarks of the kind. It appears impossible for the Republican organ to do otherwise than lie.

tW Tbe Chicago Tnaes lays that "the logic of the speech of Mr. Hexdkices, upon ukhig tbe chair at Präsident t f the Democratic State Con veation, will take terrible hold of the people of tbe Northwest. The speech is, without exception, the most scathing reriew of Republicanism that has been uttered from any quarter. It was contained in our yesterday's Daily and will appear in our next Weekly issue. We trust every Democratic newspaper in these seven Northwestern States will give it wings." "WMe Causae tine War?" The Jiumal says in response to this inquiry: Stephen A. Douglas declared that the "war was the result of a vast conspiracy sat on foot by the leaden of tbe South more than a year before the war began," before Mr. Lincoln was uomina ted, when there was bo reason to believe that be could lie elected but by a dirision of the Democratic party made by themselves. The pretended friends of Mr. Dor las are doing great injustice to his memory. After the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln, and after several States bad seceded from tbe Union, Mr. Doigla in his celebrated speech, the most able and eloquent that he ever made, delivered in the Senate in March lb6l , declared that "war was disuniou and he attributed the then impending civil war and dissolution of the Union to the refusal of the Republican party to listen to any terms of compromise. He stated in the Senate that the amend' ments proposed by Mr. Crittkndex would hare been accepted by ereu the extreme Southern men. He had this issuraace from Senators Davis and Toombs and that they would accept that adjustment as a guarantee that the Republican party bad no intention of infringing on their rights under tbe Constitution. Notwithstanding this declaration, the life long enemies of Mr. Dodolas the very men who denounced him as a shallow demagogue are attempting to make Mr. Douglas sustain their position and repudiate his deliberately expressed convictions. The position of Mr. Dm glas upon the present troubles of the country is yet to be vindicated by those who can appreciate his character and the political princi pies and policy he advocated with such earnestness and ability. If he had lived, the very men who now seek to appropriate the great bold he had upon the popular affections to promote the ends of a political party whose principles he held in utter detestation, would not have professed the hypocritical regard they now express for the dead Senator. After the war broke out, one sentiment, or perhaps we should say appreheii sion, occupied the mind of Mr. Douglas. He so expressed himself to his intimate friends here and elsewhere on his way to his home in Illinois for the last time. He feared that civil wat in the Northwestern States would follow the opening of hostilities in tbe South. To prevent so dire a calamity, he was willing to make any sacrifice. He did not deny that there was an apparent inconsistency in his March speech, and those he made on that trip home ward, "but," said he, "do you want civil war in Indianaxilis, in Indiana do we of Illinois want it in the streets of Chicago do you want to see the Northwestern States desolated, and their citizens divided into hostile factions by a fratricidal strife? No, if civil war must come, let us confine

If sueji was kr own to be the party prejudices which now influence the public j Phcy oud not be a Union man at the judgment. The indorsement of a dead states- tnat the common Uw

, tnau by a party convention is but an idle ceremony at the best. The man has passed awav, ami the effect of his deeds cannot be Mmnwarl. whether a political convention or a partisan editor approves or condemns them. Another Witness. The new Governor of Maryland, a decided Union man, in his inaugural address, condemned in terms of equal severity both secession ism and abolitionism. He confirms the almost unanimous expression of the Union men of the South, that if the authority of the Government becomes "tributary to the cause of abolition," the "latent Union sentiment which undoubtedly there exists" will unite under the banner of secession. We I quote a paragraph from his address to exhibit the ! sentiment of the loyal Union men of the South ! upon the proposed abolition crusade: The unanimity with which the Northern people have rallied around the Constitution, ready to ' sustain it by iuir number of men and anv amount of money, can uo longer be counted on when we see the cause to which these efforts have been consecrated is tobe perverted to the purpose of a political faction; whilst in the South, on the other hand, we must abandon the hope to which we have hitherto confidently clung of assistance 1 from that latent Union element which undoubtl edly there exUts, and is only awaiting the Fed ! era! power to set it free. But the power th.it liberate- must be an unquestionable exercise of constitutional authority, and the slightest in. on testation of a purpose to make that authority tributary to the cause of Abolition would inevitablo unite that latent element at once uuder the banner of Secession. The central Republican organ finds fault with Mr. Davis for saving "he would vote for , . ... ; , , . , , no platform wb.ch would pledge the people loan nucondilional prosecution of the war." Is the Journal is the Republican party is any man who is in favor of maintaining the Constitu tion and the Union upon the principles and for the objects fr which they were founded, in favor of the "unconditional prosecution of this war?" The Journal is against this war, and has declared over and over again that the loss of a dozen State to the Union was a leas evil than civil war ÖFThe Louisville Democrat in its issue of Saturday morning last, two days after its adjournment, pronounced the resolutions of the Indiana Democratic State Convention, "A nold platform." But for some unaccountable reason it has changed ground and follows an infamous lying partisan Republican sheet In maligning die character and action of the Convention. We shall take occasion hereafter to show the inconsistencies and false representations of the Drmacrat. But if. a that print charges, the Convention was controlled by the "followers of Mr. Bbigrt," (which was not the case,) we ask it whether they do not deserve praise for having adopted what the Dem oert, in the honesty of iU heart, declared "a noble platform T" Will the Democrat charge that , , , , . ... the Xew Hampshire platform, which coincides moat fully with tbe principles enunciated by the Indiana Democracr. was likewise the production of the "followers of Mr. Bbight?" The Indianapolis Journal and the Louisville Democrat seem to bo seized with a violent attack of tbe Bright phobia. . Isst LTiM the Priwibent. The Washington Star, in noticing Rev. Dr. Cheever's lecture t Washington, aura: "President Lincoln was not present, and the Fremont clique, who, on tbe fagbt of Greeley's lecture, exhioited such singufar discourtesy towards the President by their vociferous shouts and clamorings whenever the speaker hinted a censure upon the executive action in relation to the Pathfinder, did not hare an opportunity to repeat tbe insult."

OM.KI IIOXAE. Washington, January 14. SENATE. Several petitions for emancipation of slaves were pros eu ted. Mr. Powells resolution war taken up asking the Secretary of War for an answer to the reso I'ltion in regard to contracts, Ac. Mr. Powell urged the adoption of the resolution at some length. . Mr. Cowan hoped tbe resolution would not pass, which he thought was as vicious as tbe whole. He was opposed to calling for the general reports from the Departments though he was willing to have any details called for if anything was suspicious. Mr. Powell contended that It was specific. He anted tbe people to know about these contracts. Mr. Trumbull thought tbe resolution should be answered. It now appears that two and a half million dollars bad been giveu to Mr. Cummings, a cirilian, to make purchases. Mr. Trumbull read at some length from the report of the House Investigating Committee the evidence of Mr. Cummings in regard to the purchase of straw hats, pantaloons, 4c, and Hall's carbiaas for fifteen dollars apiece, which the Government hsd sold before for two dollars each. Afterwards they were re sohl for $3 50 apiece. Afterward. In August they were repurchased for tbe Government by tbe agent for $12 50 apiece, and turned over finally to the Government at $22 apiece. Tbe committee of the House are trying to pre rent this last payment. The resolution was adopted yeas 24 nays 3. Nays Messrs. Brown, Cowan andHarris. A communication was received from Marshal Lemon, stating that he ad mule certain regulations with regard to admission into tbe jail of the District of Columbia, as follows: First Admitting the President and his Cabinet. Second Admitting the Judges of the Supreme Court and President of vhe Senate and Speaker of the House. Third Admitting members of the Senate on a pass from the President of the Seuate. Fourth Admitting members of the House on a pass from tbe Speaker of tbe House. Fifth All other persons are excluded without a pass from Marsha! Lamon. Mr. Grimes said Marshal Ltmon's statement was not a true one. He (Grimes) was refused admittance to the jail yesterday because he bad no pass from the foreign satrap who was brought here from Illinois and imposed upon the inhabitants of the District. On motion of Mr. Grimes this bill was taken up. Mr. Grimes explained at length and spoke of the disgraceful character of the jail where all classes of persons were huddled together. Mr. Grimes here read from the report of the House committee in regard to Mr. Lamon 's un warranted intrusions. He (Lamon) in St. Louis had appeared as a Brigadier General, and had sent a regiment of troops to Maryland, when it tnrned out that he was neither a Brigadier Genenl nor had be any authority to remove the regiment; the expenses of which was $30 .0M. This Marshal, instead of attending to his duty in the District, was engaged in business at St. Louis, without the authority of law. After he (Grimes) hatfTnade some remarks on this bill last Friday, and on the following dar this foreign satrap, Lamon, issued an order that no person should be admitted to the District jail unless they first applied for admission to him. On hearing of this order, a number of Senators offered to go to the President and demand the removal of this Marshal, but he (Grimes) was the remedy for all the abuse which this bill j proposed to abolish. There was no necessity for i & la il intended for all the slaves. Mr. Pomeroy agreed with the Senator from Kentucky that the fault was not so much in tbe law as it was the want of its proper execution. Mr. Carlisle hoped they would come to a vote so that slaveir in the District may be practicallr j abolished. Time enough had been spent on the j bill, and we wanted it passed so as to remove one ; peg on which to hang a sympathetic treatise to the negro race. Mr. Morrill said he could not let the correction ! of an abuse eo with a Aim; at this side of the I ''i:irnhor Thiü vju aimnl v a KVll t r nitrmnt an j abu3e against the liberty of everv man and he (Morrill) could not rest under tbe imputation of ' disturbing the delicate relation of the negro questi' hi Mr. Wilson thought Mr. Morrill had well taken notice of the remarks of the Senator from Virginia (Mr. Carlisle.) Senators had been talked to by her Mason, and he feared the SenJltor from Virginia (Mr. Carlisle) was treading in the footsteps of his predecessor; but he (Wilson) feared the rebukes nf neither. He also wanted to add bis word of condemnation to the insulting con duct of Marshal Lamon. The colored people in lhe District had never been so oppressed for ten years as they are now. A Colonel came to him to day with an order from a Brigadier General to send back a fugitive slave. Thank God, that name has not been passed upon by the Senate yet. He thought it was time we acted up to our principles and rebuke those men who disgrace humanity. In regard to Marshal Lamon we ought to say to the President that he had insulted the Senate and must be removed. Mr. Carlisle said the Senator could not have heard what was said. He merely gave exDres- ' sion to his own opinions that the time should be devuteu measures connected w.th the preser I vation of the L nion. Mr. Sherman said be thought the time had n arrived for important action on financial mens u res Mr. Fessenden said there was an erroneous impression in the country that the Senate should act on these financial measures immediately and pass a Ux bill. These bills all take time and deliberation and the Senators could not act till the bills came from the House He thought that the gentlemen were not to be blamed becau-e in the intermediate time they attended to other matters. Mr. Sherman said there was an extended financial business, much hroader than tax bills. After further discussion a vote was taken on Mr. Powell's amendment to except fugitive slaves. Which was lost yeas 5, nays .15. Vena Messrs. Bayard, Kennedy, Pearce, Powell and Saulsbury. Mr. Clark offered an amendment that no per ."I. be hereafter confined in jail without a war rant from the magistrate or court, or order from one House of Congress. Agreed to. The bill was passed yeas 31 , nays 4. Messrf . Carlisle, Kennedy, Powell and Sauls burv voting uar On motion of Mr. Sumnor, the bill for the re jef ef the British ship Perthshire was taken up i and passed. Adjourned. ; HOUSE The House resumed the consider Jioa from Thursday of (be bill to abolish the " i? P ... . , n i Mr. Porter expressed the hope that Congress wfuW di(Mjngtlish it.ef by reforming the abuses and making the recipient pay pestage on docu- : nients instead of this being done by the public at large. Several other gentlemen expressed their views upou the subject. The bill to abolish the franking privilege was further discussed. The question was taken on striking oat the whole of the bill excepting the 1st section, which absolutely abolishes the franking privilege on , and after July 1st. j This was decided in the affirmative j After further discussion, Washburne moved to j table the whole subject, The motion was disagreed to. Tbe bill then passed 107 against 42. Tbe bill is as follows: I Be it enacted, ifc. That from and after July

1st, 1862, the franking privilege shall be, and is hereby abolished The bill making appropriation tor exhibiting American product at the World's Fair was tabled by a large majority. Adjourned. WAOnworoe, Dae 15. SENATE. Mr Wilson from the Miliurr

reported back the bill to increase the torce of the War leprtraeut and baraaae. Mr. Grimes moved to amend so as to add four clorks to the Navy Department. This was agreed to and the bill passed. Mr. Sumner presented a petition from tbe Farmers' Club of Concord, Massachusetts, stating that the country is flooded with unreliable seeds, and asking that a duty be placed on seeds. Ob motion ot Mr. Lane of Kansas, the joint resolution to promote tbe efficiency of troops serving in Kansas, was taken up. Mr. Saulsbury said that the New York Tribune on calling attention to the resolution said that it would occur to the reader that it aaaat something. Did it mean a policy dangerous to the country and which he believed was condemned by the President in his message. This joint resolution gives to the commander in Kansas, power given to no other man. It invites every free negro and runaway slave and Indiau to come and he armed if there was a lingering bone for the Union in the heart of any man in the South, the adoption of this joint resolution would extinguish all such hope, ft might be said of tbe South that ther employed negroes: but it was a curse on the Soulbern Contederacr and he (Sualsburv) wanted to learn neither morals or pitriotism from it; being in the old Federal Union, for which every aspiration ot his heart goes forth. He condemned this polier as destructive of the last hope of the Union. There would not be any Union men left in the South if this policy was adopted. He moved to insert in the resolution tbe word white," before the word "persons." Mr. Line of Kansas said that the commander in Kansas is Major General Hunter who was as welHtnown lor his prudence as for his gallantry. This bill, in case he is cut off from communicating' with the Government, is to give him power to fill up the army in the country where he was. The resolution dues not give him power to arm the slaves or even white men where every white soldier was a knight errant and hud for his squire a slave; from the rebels then we would begin to see tbe beginning of the end. He would put the slaves to work on tbe fortification' but would not put arms in their hands. The resolution provides for no other expense except subsistence. Mr. Harlan said if tbe resolution was to confer a benefit on the colored people, he could not see why tbe Senator from Delaware should object; first he (Harlan) could not ßee why the colored people should not be allowed to bear their share of the burdens; neither did he agree that colored men should not be allowed to bear arms. He did not think it could be offered as a resolution, for not doing so, that ther were enemies of the country. There were four millions whose loyal ty could not be doubted; and jet, all their force and energy is marshalled against us by the rebels. He did not see why we should not employ these four millions of men for the Government. Mr. Lane, of Kansas, s.:l he had not intended by the resolution to commit the Government to the policy of arming the slaves, but if be (Lane) had command of the array, while he would not commit the Government to any policy, he would say to the slave, I have no arms, but if you can find arms, get them, and I will use you as a soldier. Suppressed applause in the gallery. Mr. Trumbull, from tbe Judiciary Committee, to whom was referred tbe numerous billa in reference to the confiscation of the property of rebels, &c, reported them all b:ick with one nrigiual bill as a substitute for the whole, namely, to conns cate property and free the slaves of rebels. The Kansas contested seat came up, and Mr. Stanton proceeded to speak at length. Mr. Stanton said, before he accepted the Senatorship from Kansas, he telegraphed the Secretary of War to know if Lane had bead appointed Brigadier General, and accepted, and received a reply that Gen. Lane had been appointed and accepted Mr. Harlan thought that the President had no authority to make the appointment at the time. There was no such office. A communication was received from the Sec retary of War in answer to the resolution rela tire to the employment of Geo. D. Morgan. Re ferred. Adjourned. HOUSE. Mr. Conway introduced a joint resolution to promote the efficiency of troops serv ing in the Department of Kansas. Mr Carr introduced a resolution, which was adoptod, instructing the Committee on Military Affairs to income into the propriety of establish ing a military post near Evansville. Mr. Corning from the Committee on "Ways and Means reported a joint resolution, that in order to pay the ordinary expenses of the Government ar.d interest on the National loan, and have an ample sinking fund for its ultimate with the liquidation, a tax be imposed, which. tariff on imoorts. wi secure an annual sum of not leas than $150,000,000.

Prine, after a most enthusiastic reception by the Havanese, left for era Cruz to take command of the expedition taere. He was accompanied by a portion of the French Contingent. several of the English vessels had also been at Havana, but had not gone to Mexico. Tbe first, news from Vera Cruz had been re ceived by a steamer which left there on the 25ih. Accounts brought down from the interior by Sir Charles Wyke, the English Minister, the Mexicans are making immense preparations to oppose the progress of the allies iuto the interior. Juarez had issued a temperate proclamation calling on all parlies to unite to repel the invasion, and his call had been almost universally responded to. It was believed over 100,000 men would be in the field with 100 pieces of artillery. Uraeua was preparing to dispute the passes above vera Cruz with about 20,000 men. Tampico, it is understood, will not be surren dered without a struggle, for which the place is well prepared. It is announced that on the 28th ult. an English steamer sailed from that port for Matamoras under very suspicious circumstances. Tbe Platform Tke Ticket. The wire pullers of the Republican party are greatly perplexed at the Democratic platform. They are so much disappointed at its high-toned patriotism that they really do not know what to do. It is for h Union for ever and the Constitution, and c ei v sentiment of it breathes a devotion to our Union which can not be excelled. ' In Convention assembled, the Democracy have taken their position boldly in favor of sustaining I the Union, at all hazirds, according to the Conl stitution. They will stand by the principles pro j mulgated on the 8th of January, and they invite j the co operation or mil emetl aatti f and .IJniao loving men to carry them out. Henceforth the petty tool who, for pirtisan I purposes, puts forth the cry that the Democracy ot Indiana are disloyal to the Government, should be treated with scorn and contempt by all loyai and good citizens, lie that dees it, will but utj tar a lie and a slander against them. The Democratic party is now the only true I Uniou party in Indiana and all who desire to preserve and maiutain the Constitution and the ' Union, will rally to its support. In its hands the interests of the State and the I welfare of the people will be safe, and its triumph next fall, will be the sure harbinger ot better times. The ticket nomin Oed is composed of the very bast men in the Sue. The nominees are all men of the highea character for capacity and integrity. They f-.e all thorough Union men and have been all their lives. No taint of disunion attaches to cm of them. Ther Lwebattlel for tbe Constitution and the Union, and, fully appreciating the benefits conferred by both upon the American people, they will stai.d by them against all opposition. They are gentlemen of liberal views and sound, conservative principles. Of sach a ticket the Union Democracy may well be proud, and we cannot doubt that they will rally to its support with unparalleled enthusiasm and unanimity. Terrr Haute Journal.

Multitudes can, by the aid of the remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to ; do this through the natural channels of the body I by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the I vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities I bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, j or sores; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed , and sluggish in the reins; cletnse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings wilt tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, ami all is well; but with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or laler something must go wrong, and the great ma- ; chinery of life is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla has. and deserves, much the repu- ; tation of accomplishing these ends. But the world has been egregiously deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed for it, but more because many pre; arat ions, pretending to be concentrate! extracts of it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or anything else. During late years t le public hare been misled by large bottles, prConding to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla fur one dollar. Most of these have lieen frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become s.v.oiivmous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall res cue the name from the load of obloquy which tests upou it. And we think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to cure. In order to secure their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should be judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle. PREPARED by DR. J. C. A1ER V- CO. LOWKLL, MASS.
