INYIGORATOR,

1 Liver Cos nplaiiits, unless the most deperate of cases,when
the second buttle will, with carce a single failure restore the
patient to healtn and vigor. We wish, to call the attention of
jill to these (acts, that the Invigorator is compounded by a
physician who has used it in his practice for the past twenty
years with a success almost incredulous, and that His entire
ly vegetab e, being composed wholly ol gums.
Some idea of the strength of these gums may be formed
wheuitis known one bottle of the Invigorator contains as
much s’ rcng:h as one hundred doses oi Calomel, without any
ot its deleterious effect**.
One bottle is the surest'‘thing known to carry away the bad
effects ot mineral poison of any kiud.
Duly one bottle is needed to in ow out of the system the cf
feels of medicine after along sickness.
ni, b >:lle taken for jaundice removes ail yellowness or
un*akurj;l color from the skin.
One .los-- after eating is suii'.cient to relieve the stomach

One dose taken at night loosens the noweis gentlyTand cure,

t ue dose taken after each rnea t will cure Dyspepsia.
One dose of two tea-spoonsful will always relieve Sici
Headache. .
one bottle taken for female obstruction removes the cause
of the disea-e. and makes a parted cure.
Only one dose immediately relieves cholic, while
Onedose often repeated is a sure cure f**r Cholera Morbus,
aiida sure preventative of Cholera.
One dose taken often will prevtntthe recurrence oi bil
ious attacks, while it it relieves alt painful Jeeings.
Oue or two doses taken occasionally is on-’ ol the .best rem
edies for a cotd ever known.
Thousands of cases of inflammation and weakness ot the
lungs have been cured by the. Invigorator.
One dose taken a short, time before eating gives vigor to
the appetite and makes food digest wt II
One dose often repeated cures chronic diarrhoea in ils worst
forms, while summer and bowel complaints yield almost to
lh one*or*two*dosescures a tacks caused by worms, while for
worms in children, I hero is no surer, safer and speedier rem
edy in the world, as it never tails.
there is no exaggeration in these statements, they are plain
and sober facts, that we can give evidence to pr ,ve; wbi.e all
who use it are ci’ ing Jtheir unanimous testimony m Us favor.
We wish all who are sick aud debilitated to try this remedy
and te* 4 . it thoroughly, and any who %are not benefited by it*
utewe should like to hear from, as we have yet to hear from

DOUGLASS J Ell HOLD,
Died June 8, 1857.
Low lies the iion-like gmy head:
The broad and bright blue eye is glazed;
Quenched is that flashing wit, which blazed,
The words that woke it scarcely said.
Thoe who hut read the writer’s word,
Might deem it bitter; we that knew
The man, all saw the sword he drew
Iu tongue fence, was both shield aud sword.
That ."Word, in the world’s battle throng,
Was drawn upon the meek;
Its skill to guard was tor the week,
Its strength to smite was for the strong.
His sympathy was ever given
Where need for it was sorest telt;
In pity that blue eye would melt,
Which against wrong blazed like the levin.
Not for his wit, though it was rare;
Not for ho* pen, though it was keen;
We sorrow lor hia loss, and leu
Lovingly over that gray hair
To place the wreath, befitting those
Who like g- od men and true have striven;
By God, not man, he must be shriven;
Men guess and grope; God sees and knows.

i *ie I)**m crat o Gubernatorial Convention at Milledge
v.ilc, meets th- h*ariy concurrence • t (his Convention,
w hich resolution is as follows ;
*3 Resolved , That the inaugural address of Governor
Walker, in preseti mg the terms on which Cougress
should admit Kansas into the Union, and in attempting
to dictate the subrnision of their G-nstiiufion lor ratifica
tion and to wbm class of persons, constitutes a preeump
tu us iourference in matters over which he has no legiti
mate control; and that the same addres&s, in expressing
his official opinion that Kansas would become a Free
State, and iu presenting arguments to support that side
of the question, is a gross departure from the principles of
non-intervention and neutrality which were established by
the Kansas bill ; and this Convention has full coufidenc
that Mr Buchanan will manifest his fidelity to the prin
ciplts which carried him into office, by recalling Governor
Walker.’’
2 Resolved , That the official course of our immediate
Representative, the i/uo Martin J. Crawford, has the
unqualified approbation of the Democratic party of this

of every duty, has endeared him to the people.

of the Hon. Joseph E. Brown, as the Democratic can
didale for Governor, aud that none will give him a more
zealous support than the Democratic party of the Second
District.

nominate a candidate to represent the 2d Congressional
District of this State, in the next Congress of the United
States.

From the Topeka Statesman of June 9.
Speech of the Hon. Robt J. Walker Gov. of Kansas.
Fellow Citizens:— Upon the invitation of the citizens
of the town of Topeka and its vie nity, i nee to commune
with you in regard to those important interests which are
connected with the administration of the Territory o Kan
889. At the earnest request of the President of the U S. I
consented to come here and occupy the position <*l gover
nor of Kansas. Ido not come among you as a volunteer.
I have not sought this position. On the contrary, 1 have
accepted it, and, 1 am free to say, with great diffidence,
growing out of the conviction impressed upon the minds ol
the Chief Magistrate o the Union and all his cabinet that
the peace not only <>f this boautilul Territory of yours, but
that of the whole Union, dependid upon the settlement of
these difficult and exciting questions which have heretofore
introduced civil war and discoid throughout your borders
When, therefore, the matter was presented to me in that
light by the President of the United States and all his cab
inet, 1 felt called on, notwithstanding my deep sense of the
responsibility which I whs required to assume, to withdraw
my declination of this office, and accept the proffered t;ust,
1 am now here tiiis day, then fellow citizens, to address you
upoa those grave and momentous qmetion whicli concern
ao much not only your own peace and prosperity, but that
of the whole Union.
And here permit me to say that it has been my lot to
have travelled througn every £tate in this Union except
California, and I must say tnat I have never seen anywhere
any region for which God has done ao much as the Terri
tory of Kansas. [Cheers.J All that you want is peace
aud prosperity, the recognition ol the principle that the
people of Kansas can alone rule here, and its exercise in
connexion with all the great questions which have disturb
ed the quiet and harmony of this Territory, in order to
make not only the town of'Topeka one of the most pros
perous of the Territory and of the Union, but to make Kan
sas eoou, at the proper period, to become a sovereign State,
one ol the most important and flourishing of the whole
confederacy.
Now, gentlemen, this isa practical question, aud I take
if your are practical men ; that you do not look to theo
ries, but to facta and results ; and that you desire to a>cer
tain what is the mode in which a peaceful adjustment of
these deplorable difficulties can now be made.
On that subject, gentlemen, 1 desire to read to you a few
extracts from my inaugural address, just published in this
Territory, together with my instruction- from the Preai
dent of the U States, pointing out the mode in which the
Chief Magistrate of ihe Union, just elected to that high
position by the whole American people, as well as his cab
inet and the humble individual who now addresses you,
believe these quefetions can he peacefully settled ; ands t
tled, not by a parly, whether it he tor or against slavery,
but by the whole peopled the Territory of Kansas, woo as
is their sovereign right, by that gieat principle which lies at
ibefoundation ot all our institutions,shall determine by an
actual majority of the votes of all her people what shall be
their own constitution and their own social institutions.
1 speak not now in regard to the past, or any registry of
votes; but l speak as regards the tuture :\iy doctrine is
this ; that in the future, when thu constitution shall be sub
mitted to the vote of the citizens oi Kansas, that it shall be
submitted to the vote ot the whole people. 1 lo noi mean
tho.e who are now registered under the territorial law—l
do not rnvan those who were residing here on the 15;h of
March last—but 1 mean the whole people ot Kansas, not
only those who are here now, but those who will be here
next fall as actual residents—that they, the people over
whom these institutions are to operate—that they, by a
majority of their votes, shall decide for themselves what
shall be their constitution, and what shall be their social in
stitutions. On this subject 1 desire, I repeat, to read to you
an extract from my inaugural address to the people of the
Territory of Kansas, together with the views of the Presi
dent of the U. Slates.
“Indeed, 1 cannot doubt that the convention,” [I mean
the convention which is about to meet in September next,]
“after having framed a State constitution, will submit it
for ratification or rejection by a majority of the then actu
ai bona fide resident settlers *f Kansas.”
With tliese views, well known to the President and cab
inet, and approved by them, 1 accepted the appointment of
governoi ot Kansas. My instructions from the President,
through the Secretary ot State, under date of the 30th of
March last, sustain “their regular legislature of the Terri
tory” in “assembling a convention to form a consitution,
and they express the opinion of the President, that “when
such a constitution shall be submitted to the people of the
‘Territory, they must be protected in the exercise of their
right ol voting for or against that instrument; and the fair
expression of the popular will must not be interrupted by
fraud or violence .”
I come now to my own individual views. “I repeat,
then, as my clear conviction, that unless the convention
submit the constitution to the vote ot all the actual resident
settlers ol Kansas, aud the eleciion be fairly and justly con
ducted, the constitution will be, and ought to be, rejected
by Congress.” [Cries of “good.”]
Gentlemen, on this subject I wish that there should be
no mistake, no misapprehension as regards my opinion and
the policy which I shall deem it my duty to pursue in the
administration of the executive department oi the Territo
ry ot Kansas. It is involved in a tew simple words: that
the majority of the people of Kansas must govern, [cries o
“right;”] that the majority of the people of Kansas must
adopt their own constitution or reject it ; that ihe majority
of the people of Kansas at the polls must deckle whethci
they will be a slave State or a free State. [Applause.]
Indeed, under whatever specious disguises any other doc
trine may be presented, 1 believe that the man who desires
that the minority of the people shall establish institutions
lor the majority is, whatever ho may call himself, r.eithei
a democrat not a republican, but a monarchist or an arMo
c-at. He desires that the few shall govern many ; where
as tlie great fundamental doctrine which lies at the basis of
all our American institutions, aud upon which they all re
pose, and which has been carried into successful operation
m every other State but Kansas, and which, gentlemen,
with your aid and co operation to sustain me, it is my sin
cere hop* shall obtain its fullest realization here, is the
rule of the majority.
Now, then, gentlemen, aw to the mode in which this is
to be accomplished. 1 presume we all agree—at least 1
hope we do—as to the doctrine that th* majority o*‘the peo
ple of Kansas shall establish their own constitution ana in
troduce such social institutions aw th* majority prefer But
how is this to be done? The of ihe U. States
has established for Kau&as but one mode of action on this
subject, and that action is through the territorial legiwla
ture.
Now-, uooneofyou can regret more than J do any ot those
deplorable aud calamitous circumstances which have taken
place in tho past For rny.-elt, 1 wish to overlo* k the
past, and look forward to a better and brighter future. —
That territorial legislature has, in respect to the authority
over this question, been iecognised by the acta ot C ongress
ol 1854 and <857. ‘That legislature has called a conven
tion to assemble in September next. That constitution they
will or they will not submit to the vote ol the maj nay
of the then actual rerident settlers of Kansas. It they
do not thus submit it, 1 will joiu V u, fellow-citizens, in
lawful opposition to their course. ]Cries of “good,” and
cheers ] And 1 cannot doubt, gentlemen, that one much
higher than I, the Cnief Magistrate of the Union, will join
you in opposition. But, gentlemen, lor myselt, l cannot
doubt that that convention will submit such an instrument
as they may frame tor the adoption or rejection ot the
whole people ot Kansas to all who now are, or then may
bo, actual, bona fide resident settlers of the Teiritory of
Kansas. Then, at that time, and in pursuance of the meth
od designated by the law’s ot your country, by the instruc
tionsof the C.’hiet Magistrate of the Union, who was placed
there by the people, and was sworn by them to execute tho
law's, i do uot entertain a doubt but that that convention
will submit to the whole of the then bona fide settlers ol
Kan.-as the determination for themselves, by an actual rna
joriiy ot the whole people, whether they shall accept
or reject that constitution. If they reject it, there is an end
ot tiiat convention. It has adjourned uever to meet again
It has performed its office. I A Voice, “What next r’] —
What uext, you ask, gentlomeii I There are two other
very easy exits from the difficulty ; and, as the question is
a practical one, l propose to answer it. In October next,
not under the act of tho late territorial legislature, but un
der ihe laws of Congress, you. the whole people of Kan
sas, have a right to elect a delegate to Congress, and to
elect a territorial legislature; and through that legislature
you can speak your views, and instruct the ii either to call
anew convention to submit anew constitution for the
consideration of the people, or they can instruct their del
egaieto Congress, chosen by a majority of their own votes,
to ask Congress to pass a law authorizing the people ol
Kansas to form a State constitution for themselve-.
It is quite certain, gentlemen, that in this mode there is,
inanyeveut, a peaceful, tranquil quiet, free from all the
embarrassments and difficulties by which you are surroun
ded, und that Hie time is rapidly coming, if it has not al
ready arrived, when the rule of justice and tlie people
shall prevail in Kansas. [Cheers]
Then, gentlemen, what is the other mode which is pre
sented? You are about to have assembled here, at Tope
ka, next week, what is called the State Legislature; for
they tell you that they are now about to convene a legis
lature for the State ol Kansas. Who elected tnat Legis
lature? f A Voice. “ The people.” The people! why the
whole vote given for your so called constitution, as claim
ed by yourselves, was but 1,731, whereas there are now
registered over 10,u00 votes as residents here on the 15ih oi
March last, exclusive of the thousands omitted or wh.)
have arrived here since that date. ‘The people! do you
mean to tell me that 1,731 votes constitute the whole num
ber of votes in the territory of Kansas. [A Voice. That
was a year aud a half ago.”] Bui should those 1,731 votes
a year and a half ago impose a constitution for all time to
come upon the present people of Kansas? [A Voice. ‘Not
against their will.’] Should the constitution be submitted
to their will or not? [A Voice. ‘Yes.’] That, gentlemen,
is the great question so far aw they are concerned. But 1
understand you to claim to be a State now, and that your
so called legislature, chosen by a small number of votes,
propose next week to enact laws to be enlorced in Kansas.
I hit. miserable minority constituting not one tenth of the
present people of Kansas, propose, in absolute defiance
of the acts of Congress, and in open rebellion, mark you,
gentlemen, not only against the territorial laws,nut against
the laws and government of the United States, to assem
ble here, and representing 1,731 people, impose this con
stitution by force upon the people ol Kansas by the enact
ment of laws. [A Voice. “W hereare those 10,000 voters
that are not on tlie record?”] Some inadvertently omitted
—many who w'ould not register, and thousands who have
arrived since the 15th of March last. As regaida the re
gister, however, 1 say to you that it i9 of comparartive lit
tie consequence, it the constitution be ‘submitted to the
whole people.
It may suit the purpose*of faction to ask such questions
by those who r*luse to legiwter; but the substantive fact is,
that the constitution can be ot no force or effect unless it
is submitted to the vote of the people; and if it is so sub
mitted, it is for them to declare whether they will adopt it
or not. But here cornea a body of men acting in defiance
ot the laws of Congresa. and in open rebellion against the
government of the United State?, representing, according
to their own statement, le'athan one tenth ol the people ot
Kan.-as, who come forward and say that the people next
fall should not decide tiiis question; that neither you nor 1,
nor any ofour fellow citizens elsewhere throughout the
‘Territory, shall have the right to determino whether we
shall accept the new constitution or reject it.
Gentlemen, I come here lor the purposes of peace and
pacification 1 com* here to inaugurate the mle of law,of
justice, and o! the whole people of Kansas, by giving them
all an opportunity of adopting th*ir own constitution in
aiead of allowing a handle] of 1,731 men to thrust a con
stitution on them, by adopting a code of laws, for I am
told that they have actually a code of laws prepared by
their various c rnmittlees, cut and dried, to put in operation
as soon as they meet, hindi g the whole people of the
‘Territory and depriving them of the right to decide on
their own form ot government and to adopt their own
stitution.
Now’, then, I repeat, that I come herefor the purpose of
restoring and perpetuating peace; but I tell you candidly,
that my instruction* and my oath of office require me to
put down the execution of such laws, and, for tne good of
the people of Kansa, they must and will be put down.—
[Cries of‘never,’ *never.’[ [A Voice. ‘Do not the pe< pie
of the United States say that those laws are right?’] The
people of the United ttcaten have just elected a Prerident
who declares that such laws would be unconstitutional,
null and void. [A Voice. ‘Who carea?’] Nay, more: the
people of the United Mates have just elected a majority to
Congress who entertain the same opinion with him. This
is a matter ii.voiv ng the peace, happiness and prosperity
ot the whole people. Your towne will advance in impor
tance und wealth, your claims will increase in value, har
mony and good will will reign throughout the Terri ory,
if the people who are now here, and who will be here in
November or December next, will only decide for them
selves what shall bo their own form of government and
their own social institutions Bui what is it this Legisla
ture proposes to do, without the slightest necessity, without
the slightest pretext or apology under the mode of adjust
ment now proposed? 1 apeak not now as regards the past
1 wish to God that you, and I, and all of us could rub out
the past. [A Voice. ‘lt* cannot be done.’J rAnother
Voice. ‘Rub out the bogus laws.’J Rub them out,gentle
men, if you please, by a vote of the people. voice. ‘We
cannot get that.’J You can get that. [A Voice. ‘Give
us a fair vote at the next election.’] You will get that.—
At the next election in October when you elect the territo
rial legislature you can repeal those laws, and you can
then, also, by a majority of your own vote*, adopt or reject
the constitution presented lor your consideration next fall.
Now what, 1 ask again, ispropro.-ed to be done by this
legislature? ft is proposed to put in operation a body of
laws But you must remember ihe passage of laws is no
larce. It is not a humbug. [A Voice. ‘lt has been here.’]
A law is a command; it exacts obedience from the whole
people,ana is to te actually put in force in the Territory
What is the cotisequenc? Why, you thus produce an ab
solute, clear,direct, and positive collision between that leg
islature and the government of the United Mates, there
are two set* of laws then to govern you. Every man’s
possessions will then be involved in difficulty, and in the
course f three or tour months you will have a large im
portation oi lawyers. [A Voice. ‘We have plenty of them
now.’] fLaghter.] It will involve you in endless litigation
from which there will be no poi-isible extrication. Now.
gentlemen, is there any reason in this? jA Voice. ‘None;
not a bit; there never was.’] Can you not peaceably de
eide this question in the mode pointed out by the act of
Congress, if, as you can and will have, a fair and full op
portunity of recording your vote? [A Voice ‘Why have
we not had it?’] Gentlemen, I was not Governor of Kan
sas and Mr. Buchanan was not President of the United
States, i A Voice. ’How are we to get it?’] You w ill get it
by the convention submitting the constitution to the vote
of the whole people. [A Voice. ‘Who is to elect the
convention? That is the grand question.’]
Gentlemen, it is a comparatively small point by whom
the Constitution is r* be submitted. D m’t let us run
away after shadow's. l)o not refuse to register, and
say you oau’t vote. The great substantial point is this ;
will the whole people of Kansas next fall, by a fair elec
tion, impartially and fairly conduct; and by impartial judges,
have an opportunity to decide for themselves what shall
be the form of their government, and w hat shall be their
social institutions ? I say they wll ; but Igo a step fur
ther. [A Voice. “Have you g t th* power ?”J If 1
have not ib* power to bring it uhout—if the Convention
will not do it— l will join you in lawful opposition to their
proceedings. [Cries of “Good, good.’*] [A Voice.
“We will hold you to your prom'•.”] [Another Voice.
‘ How nr* w* to vote for this her* f invention ?*’] —

[Another Voice. “What ahotr*. the bogus laws ’’] And

your very Governor, Mr. Robinson, has acknowledged
those bogus laws by putting into effect a charter, passed
by that foigus legislature, and so have many of yu, and

United Stat’s. { \ Voice, “liovv arc those inspectors
to he appointed ?”] Th y must be appointed fairly and
impartially, of enur.se [A Voice. “W ho is to to appoint
them?”] I doubt uot that th* Convention will prescribe
a fair, just, and impartial method, ns t! ey do in other
Slates. [A Voice. “They did. in giving us 280 voters in
this county.”] [Laughter ] Well, gentlemen, let ns
look at th* q>i*stioli. VVhnt have thise 280 voters to do
if you all have •* iir vote mxt tall, on tl * constitution ?
[A Voice. “There has been uo census taken ”] That
This nothing on earth to do with the question. Bui whilst
I must deeply -telnet and deplore th* circumstance that
there has heei*rat*fci>uffieieni census, what arn 1 to think
when told by those who profess to represent the Republi
can party ot thi* Territory that tell you that >oo should
neither register nor vote ? Yon were kept from rec i
te ring, as you all know, by following the advice of tlnaj
p*rty leaders ot yours, and then complain they cannot
vole. V u could have registered here, it yot phastd,
and hundreds iu tins Territory, since hearing my plan,
have expressed tome th*:r deep regret that tiny had
not registered, and m any iu your oouu'y, since my arri
val have changed their position and rtsolved to vote
Every man who responds that lie will not acknowledge
tho*e I tw’B has buren deprived of no privilege in not being
registered, because he declares that, whether registered
or not, he will not vote. It you di-like th* Convention,
do you best oppose it by standing aloof and allowing a
majority of other persons to adopt their Constitution, or
by voting down that instrument 1 If you do not vote
uext foil for or against that instrument, when you have a
fair chance. Congress will act as though you had. No ;
you cannot defeat th* Constitution by refusing to vot .
(A Voice. “The Governor is light, and wo will voto
then.”] Now, gentlemen. I really believe I have detain
ed you too long. There is nothing on earth that I love
more than free opinion, a free pass, and popular discos
son. [Cries of “Right.”] Instead of objecting to it, I
love to hear some tew of yon and flVr from lr.-in me, or aek
questions. Corn* let us reason together. Discarding
pass'on and prejudice, regretting as you and Ido all the
difficulties that have occurnd in the past, let us ask our
selves this great practical question : What is beet lor tho
great future of Kansas ? (A Voice. “The Topeka Con*
stitution.”] Well, gentlemen, 1 hop* no one will say so,
unless the man who believes that 1,731 voters should de
prive some 20,000 or 30,000 voters now in the Territory,
or that soon will tie here, of deciding their own form of
government for themselves. [A Voice. “How was it
when the people of Missouri came here ?”] 1 have noth-*
ing to do with the people of either Missouri or Jl/ißsa
••huscit*. lam only forking to the luture. And 1 say
if you desire war —[loud cries of “No, no”] —if yon de
sire conflict—(“No, no,”) —if you desire to enter into a
rebellion, not against Territorial laws only, but ngainst
the government < t tlie United States—(“No, no”) all
you have t do is to set up the State government against
the government approved by the President And the acts
of Congress, by the present enactment of State laws.—
(A Voice. “Not now.”) There cannot baa State Gov
ernment without a State Governor, without his superse
ding th* Governor appointed by the President of the U.
S. under the liws of Congress. There cannot be a
State Government without State Judges, and there can
not be State Judge*- without their superseding the judges
appoint! and by th* President of the Unitrd States “under
the laws of Congree*. or a Sift’* Legislate! e without su
perseding the Terrib.rial Legislature. It means that, or
it means nothing Surely, this ie open rebellion hguinft
the government of the United States, to which you tell
mo you do Dot M ean to resort.
Now, then, uL-inen, I return you my most sincere
thank* for th* kiud und indulgent attention with which
yon have listened to my remarks (A Voice. “What
as to the taxes ?”) Long before lam coiled on for any
official action, the reign of law, of justice, and of tho
people will be hu fully established her* that, as go< and citi
z*ns, you will all cheerfully pay this small p ttauce to sup
port your own government. (A Voice. “We will have
a great deal more confidence in th* vo e of the people to
bt given next full, if you will tell us by what su hority
the judges are to bo appointed.”) I will answer that
question, for 1 have no doubt it is fairly asked, nr.d in n
lair spirit. (A Voice. “It certainly is.”) I will say,
then, to you, gentlemen, that if they do not appoint \
fair and impartial mode by which the majority of the act
ual bona fide resident settlers of Kansas shall vote,
through the instrumentality of impartial judges, I will
jo n you all iu lawful opposition t their dongs, aud the
President and Congress will reject their Constitution.—
(A V ic*. “Will tire Convention appoint impartial judg
•* ?”) It is their duty to do so. (A Voice. “Will lhey
<io so ?”) G utiernen, 1 am not the Convention, but I
do not doubt they will give you impartial judges. (A
Voice. “I wiii ask the Governor if there is any one wi o
will he allowed to vote for this convention exc< pt those
registered ?”) As regards the past, I have got no power
to recall it. ihe past i* irrevocable even by Almighty
power, and I profess ft* have very little power, much less
such power as that. Over the past I have no control,
but over the fuiure I have ; and I say to you that uofote
a full ?ind fair opportunity is given to the whole people of
lvins.t9 to decide for themselves what shall be their form
ol government, mclud nt the great sectional question
which has so long divided yon—unless, I repeat, they
grant you such an opportunity. I have one power of which
no man or eel of men can drprive me, and to which I
shall unhesitatingly resort, and that is to join you in law
ful opposition to it.
Beards and Smooth Chins.
Dr. Dixon of the Scalpel, has rather a trenchant way of
exprea-ing his views of men and matteis, but he “hits
home,” as the carpenters say, now ai.d then. His last
nnmbei thus graphically presents the reciprocities of Beards
and Smoothchins: —“Why do you allow your beard to
crow ?” said a **m*‘oth!y-shaved gentleman, with a pair ot
light blue eyes, and beautiful red cheeks, and a bright b'ue
cravat, and a sneer on his lip, to a dark eyed, .-warthy, and
bronzed young man with a glorious beard and a tupeib
mustache, tho eye of a falcon, ana the noj-tril of the war
horse, a hard worker at his trade—that of a printer—and
the father of two children. “To improve my appearance,
said he,to avoid cattarhs, to please my wife, and .-nve rime/’
“And why do you shave?” “Because it is the custom,”
replied he. “I thick you are mistaken,” rcp'ied the prin
ter ; “do you not shave because you fancy it improves >our
appearance?” “Why yes,” replied the shaven gentleman;
“that too, ot course, is a parr of the reason.” ihe printer,
like most of the truly elegant men, was a natural gentle
men, and made no further reply ; but he might have end,
with truth—you have told two falsehoods, and you are a
vain man, a cow aid, a saucy man, an ignorant man, and a
fool.
You shave because your beard is a light color, and you
dare not wear it; you are a vain man, because you shave
to make yourself look better, therefore you have told two
lies; you are an ignorant man, because the color of your
beard harmonizes with that of your eye?, lips and skin, and
no other color would and you know it; and you are a
saucy man. because you are ignorant, and sneered at me.
You are an indolent man, because you waste halt an hour
thrice a week patting your lace and contemplating its beau
ties, whilst lam at work You are continually snuffing
with a catarrh in your nose and you look like a baby with
your face just washed by your mamma!
