Prof. DeGrath.39, South Bth Street, Philadelphia
I have a remarkable cure. Depuiy Sheriff Kerr ot Pitts
burgh, had a very swollen and painfnl hand. I applied
the Oil personally, which gave instant relief He has re
commended the Oil toothers afflicted with itheumatism,
in which tho results were most sati-lactory.

CAUTION.
There are numerous imitations sprung up on the reputa

Philadelphia, Sept 1,1856.
Prof. DeGrath— Dear Sir—l must inform you of the
great benefit a patient of miue has experienced from the
application of your Electric Oil. The ca<e was that of a
girl of 8 years of age, who was terribly afflicted with scro
fula, and a discharge from the knee. The leg became>o
contracted as to literally bury the heel in the hip. It had
been in this condition about 12 months, and I could find
nothing in the whole materia medica to have any effector
give relief. I finally procured a bottle oi your Electric
Oil and gave it to me mother directing her to apply ii to
the parts along the contracted sinews, which had the ef
fect of making the leg nearly one fourth straight in about
six hours. The application oi the Oil was continued for
about 3 weeks using only six bottles and now the leg is
nearly perfectly straight

A Medicine that never Debilitates!
DR. SAN D F ORB’S
INVIGORATOR,
OR LIVER REMEDY,
rnpHig IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SCIENTIFIC MEDI
i c.fl discoveries ever made, and is daily working cures
almost too great to believe. It cures as il by magic, even
the first dose giving benefit, ami seldom more than one bottle
i requited to cure any kind of Liver < ‘omplaint. from the
worst .Jaundice or Dyspepsia do a common head ache, all of
which are the result o. a diseased Liver.
The Liver isoneof the principal regulators of the human
body, ami when it performs its iu ctions well, the powers of
the system are full\ developed. The stomach is almost en
tirely dependent on Uhet healthy action oi the Liver tor the
pr iper performance o‘ its functions. VV lien the stomach is at
fault, the bowels ar© at fault, and the w - ole system suffers iu
cona*queuceotone organ—the Liver—having ceased to do
ifs duty. For the disease of that organ, one oi the • roprietors
has made it his study,in a practice of more than 20 yefirs, to
find some remedy w? erewith to counteract the many <h range
meat a to which ills liable.
To prove that this remedy is at last foun !, any person trou
bled with livercomplamt in any of its forms, a? but 10 iry a
bottle and conviction is certain.
A compound has been formed by dissolving gums ami ex
tracting that'pari which is soluble for the active virtues of
the medicine. These gums remove all morbid or bad matter
from the system, supplying; n their place a healthy flow of
bile, invigorating the stomach, causing food to digest well,
purifying the blood, giving tone and ‘health to the whole ma
chinery, removing the of the disease,and effecting
a radical cure without any of the ‘disagreeable aftereffects,
felt by Calomel or Mineral Poison that are usually re
sorted to.
To all who will follow these directions a cure is positively
guaranteed.
Sick Headache can be cured by the use of I or 2 tea spoons
ful taken as soon as the attack is felt.
The Invigorator never fails to cure sour stomach, or the bad
effects.experiemed after eating.
Billious attacks yield readily to one bottle, and Chronic Di
arrhoea, difficult as it is to cure,is never troublesome to those
who take the Invigorator.
For Dyspepsia, Jaundice, nothingin the known world acts
so fully or cures so quickly as the Invigorator. It removes
aM yellowness and unnatural color from the skin.
For Nightmare, take a dose bes-re retiring, audit is war;
ranted a sure prevt utative.
For Feraa’*e. Obstruct ions, it Is a safe aud sure remedy as it
removes the cause ol the ‘’disease.
Costiveness cannot exist where the Invigorator ‘islreely ta
ken while cholic yields readily to a few doses.
It must be known that all these are Liver Diseases, or caus
ed by a deranged Liver, and to cure them needs a Liver med
icine and one of great power. The Invigorator is suclqa med
icine; it has medical powers never before discovered, that
will cure all diseases, of the Liver, no matter of how long
standing or what'may be their form. The active medicinal
virtues extracted from the gums used is such as to be aston
ishing to ail who see their effects,i tor none can use the medi
cine without receiving benefit. It acts as a gentle cathartic,
and should always be taken insufficient quantitiestooper
ateoiii the bowels gently. The best away to take it is to take
the medicine in the mouth, then take some water and ewal
low both together. Il thißway the medicine will scarcely
be tasted.

From the Hume Journal,
Georgia, come home! — Life’s tendrils cling about thee,
Wher’erthou art by wayward lancy led,
We miss thee, love! —Home is not home without thee,
The light and glory of the house have fled;
The Autumn shiver of the linden tree
Is like the pang that thrills my frame for thee.
Georgie, come home! —to parents, brother sister.
Thy place is vacant in ,his lonely hall.
Where shines the river through the Jeannie Vista,”
While twilight shadows lengthen on the wall;
Our-pirit. falter at the close ol day.
And weary night moves tardily away.
Georgie, come home!—The winds and waves are singing
The mournful music of their parting song,
To soul and sense the sad foreboding bringing,
Some ill detains thee in the town so long;
Oh, that the morn may dissipate the fear,
And bring good tidings of my daughter dear!
Georgie, come home!—The forest leaves are falling
And dreary visions in thy absence come;
The fountain on the bill in vain is calling
Thee, my beloved one, to thy woodland home,
And I imagine every passing breeze
Whispers thy name among the moaning trees!
Georgie, come home! —Thy gentle look can banish
The gathering gloom around this once cheerlul hearth;
In thy sweet presence all our care will vanish,
And sorrow solten into mellow mirth.
Return my darling, never more to roam;
Heart of the Highlands! Georgie, dear, come home!

There’s magic in a lady’s foot.
And well the ladies know it—
And she who has a pretty one
Is pretty sure to show it;
At times you, too, are martyred by
The nicest little ankle,
That shoots an arrow through the eye
Within your heart to rankle.
But when it trips along the street,
Through wind and mud and vapor,
By sheerest accident you see
How beautiful the taper;
And as it steps upon the walk.
Amid the crowd to mingle,

The Trial of Thomas Washington Smith for Murder.
During the last eight or ten days, this topic has
agitated the Philadelphia press and community of
that city, which, more remarkable than uny other
hi the Union, blends together such extremes of mo
rality anti immorality. The cast- and cause o! T. W.
Smith's killing It. Carter, (a wealthy President of
the Tamaqua Bank) is an evidence of extraordina
ry immorality under most painful circumstances.
Richard Carter, deceased, was about 48 years of
age, a resident of Tamaqua in Pennsylvania, who
Imil acquired wealth, position and considerable
pn minenre. He was English by birth, and also
the President of a Bank located at Tamaqua, and a
man it and man.
Intheearly part of’s6, Carter notices an interest
ing giil of 17 years or so, named Elizabeth G. Mc-
Cauley, daughter of one Jno McCauley, ofWilkes
barre, a gentleman of respectability but limited cir
cumstances, and a particular friend of Carter’s.
Miss McCauley is handsome, easy of address,
of generous impulses, and of an amiable disposi
tion. Carter in his mature age, makes up his mind
to “adopt” the daughter of tiis friend to educate
her and make her a “finished lady.” He succeeds,
and after solicitations and repeated importunities
to the father of Miss McCauley to give him the
daughter that he might make her a finished lady,
she was taken from her home by him, an artless,
budding girl of 17 or 18, unpolluted even by the at
mosphere of worldly society.
R Carter having gained her from her parents,
to carry out his views, sends her in March, ’56 to
the College in Wilmington, Del. He appearing
there in the guise other guardian. Can a person
well like to believe that all this care on the part of
Carter for that young girl was with a view of grat
ifying the i ile purposes of her ruin 7 Yet, so it was,
and now she is finished without hope of future sal
vation, at least in this world ; true, he educated her,
but this was only calculated to make his victim the
more to suffer.
He as her guardian and protector, sends for her
to the CoMege, and at Jones Hotel iu Philadelphia
the) [nit up, and there he finds means to overpow
er all resistance of virtue on the part ol ihis young,
unsophisticated girl, and such a crime was his, un
der these circumstances, that “better twenty mur
ders be committted in our midst than such a crime
as Carter’s should go unpunished.”
In May, 1856, a young man ofgood family and
connections, Thos. Washington Smith goes to visit
his Sister, Miss Mary Elizabeth Smith who is a
teacher at the ladies’ Seminary in Wilmington,
where Miss McCauley was then a pupil, sent there
by her “guardian” Carter. Smith is described as
being a young man filled with a nice sense of hon
or, of generous impulses, honest and confiding.
He had just returned from a Southern tour and
in talking to his sister at the Seminary, observed
while speaking at some length of the Southern la
dies, and comparing them with those at the North,
that in selecting a companion for life he thought he
would noi chose one from either extreme, but would
take one from the Keystone State.
At this critical moment Miss McCauley entered
the parlor and Miss Smith remarked to her brother,
“Well, here is a Pennsylvanian,” and introduced
the heroine of the tragedy to him. After about a
quarter of an hour’s talk Miss McCauley withdrew
and Smith said to his sister, “that girl suits my
fancy and I will make her my wife, if I can get
her.” Miss Smith thought this only a playtul re
mark, and paid but little attention to it
In October she learned that lie was engaged to
be married to her. Carter seemed to have no ob
jection to Smith. Elizabeth G McCauley wag mar
ried on 16th of December, 1856, and about four
months after in April, 1867, she gave birth to a fe
male child, now living.
On 13th April Miss Smith received the following
letter from her brother:
“Mary. —My wife has a female heir. Keep still.
1 am a stranger to a father’s joy ; it cannot be my
offspring. Come in and mourn with me. Heaven
has decreed me a severe fate. I have written to
uncle Stephen and George. I need yonr counsel;
withdraw not from me. The 10th of this month is
four months since our wedding—Oh! God, be
merciful. Lib knows not that I suspect her chas
tity ; she is too weak now to break the subject to
her. I leave for New York on Wednesday.”
The sister went to the troubled house other only
brother, and the following extract from her evi
dence at the trial shows the scene that transpired
there. She says :
“My brother entered his wife’s room and return
ed, saying that she wished to see me, and we en
tered her room together; as we approach it her
bed siae, she exclaimed, “Mary, oh ! Man, can you
forgive me lor having so deeply injured your pure
minded, noble-hearted brother 7 Tom has been
an honorable, true and devoted husband to me ;
and oh! low 1 have injured him; can you, will
you, forgive me 7” I told her I was ready to for
give ; she had offended against a higher tribunal ;
a greater than man ; that she must first seek for
giveness liom Him; she replied she had, and she
thought God had forgiven her; I then inquired of
her whose child that was lying by her side, to which
she replied “Carter’s; it is Carter’s;” I then in
quired if it could be possible, and whether I must
rely on what she told me, to which she replied with
great solemnity, “Before God, Mary, I tell you
what I expect to say to Richard Carter and John
McCauley, my father, face to face, and say in
judgement, “This is Richard Carter’* child,” add
ing, “and indeed, it is my first offence ;” Mr. Car
ter look me an innocent girl from my father’s
house, promising to be a protector to me, but he
has proved my betrayer,”
From this out it seems that the unfortune hus
band, (Smith,) acted as one be*ide himself exclaim
ing—
“Oh, had she but told me the fatal aecret, I could
have forgiven her all; I would have taken her from
the dust, and in exile from every other friend, I
would have gone and found a home with her in
a far off land; but oh! that base-hearted man—he
led her into the conspiracy to cover up hi* own
shame, and I never fora moment once suspiciotitcd
his honesty. The day before this heart-breaking
discovery I would have trusted my wile to go to
Europe with him (Carter) if he had asked her to
g°”
Smith then quitted the sight of his unfortunate
wife, and with a view to forget his misery travelled
on horse back through Virginia, Arc. Revenge,
however, seemed to prey on his mind and towards
October last he returned to Philadelphia “He
tried to forget and forgive his wife, but bis grief
haunted him; it sat behind him on his horse; he
read it in every word which tell upon his ear and
in every look which fastened on his troubied conn
teimnce ; it consumed him
On 4lh Nov. ’57 Smith, with weapons which he
always carried, meets Carter at ihe St. Lawrence
IJotel in Philadelphia. He call him on one side.
They take a seat on the sofa and talk on this mat
ter, when Carter said, “1 intend to go and see
your sister.” These words were the match by which
the magazine exploded ; suddenly Carter springs
up and receives the ball of Smith and fails down a
dead man at the feet of the wronged husband.—
Smith does not try to escape. His eye glares with
unwonted fire—he say* he will surrender only to
an officer.
On the above grounds he has just got through a
long trial on charge of murder in the first degree,
and his trial ranks among the “great ones” of our
country. The matter will yet be the theme of a
“novel” as the “St. Lawrence Tragedy.” On the
19th inst. the jury after a night’s consideration on
tbe case of Thomas W. r-mith, charged with ihe
murder of Carter, came into court with a verdict
of acquittal, and the prisoner was discharged.
Smith’s acquittal was on the ground of insanity.
His sister applied to the court to have charge of
him. — Sav. Geo.
Napoleon’s Defense of the Slave Trade.
Under the capti m of “Napoleon’s defense ol the
new slave trade of France,” there appeared in the
Paris Constilutinnel, of December 29th, some very
Bensible and conservative views, which clearly in
dicate the progress of opinion in relation to the
importance of supplying to the agricultural dis
tricts of the word, (where there exists a scarcity,)
an abundant supply of agricultural labor from Af
rica. Many of the points, in the remarks of the
Constitutionel, have a pertinent application'to this
section of country, as well as France and her colo
nial possessions, and we publish them to show the
progress of opinion, and the tacit vindication of
southern policy even by the organ of the Emperor
Napoleon, of France ;— Constitutionalist.
The planters have not been free to procure la
borers to continue and extend the cultivation of
the soil. This is one of the principal errors the
Abolitionists have committed. In Europe the sup
ply of laborers has always exceeded the demand.
In the colonies, on the contrary, the demand has
exceeded the supply. The population is insuffi
cient, and it never can be augmented by a Euro
pean emigration. In the tropics no European can
venture to cultivate the soil. To him it yields but
deadly emanations, while its richest products pro
digally bestowed, repay the labor of the African or
Asiatic. The white man may, without danger, car
ry his capital and his industry to the colonies, but
his constitution is unfitted to endure great physi
cal fatigue there.
The colonists could have procured laberers from
Africa and Asia that could not be surpassed if the
Abolitionists had consented; but this they would
not do, and with their usual mode of reasoning,
claimed to act for the interest of the siave, while
refusing to this reform the indispensable elements
of success, So effectually have they opposed In
dian and African emigration, that in the English
West India Islands the cultivation of the soil has
been left to the caprice of creole laborers, who, en
joying an undisturbed monopoly, naturally abuse it,
by charging high lor a little labor.
It is the business of Great Britain to bring these
fanatical Abolitionist* to reason. But the conse
quences of their false doctrines have effected us.
Our colonies have suffered from lack of hands, us
well as the English colonies, and it cannot be any
longor endured. Il our neighbors choose to sub
mit to the consequence* of their aboliliun iheories,
the rest of the world i* not obliged to adopt them
as its law of conduct. Their code of philanthro
py is not a lawtffr us. Thus, our government,
having recognised emigration as at once useful and
moral, has authorised traders to engage laborers in
Asia and Africa for the French colonies.
Up !o the present time Asia has furnished a ve
ry small number of labo'ers. Will the supply be
more abundant in future 7 We know not. India
is not a French colony.
In that vast Territory we possess only a few es
tablishments, of very limited extent. Emigration
has not been viewed without jealousy by the Anglo-
Indians. The intolerance of the Abolitionisls has
been made use of there to injure and retard our
operations. As for China, it is *o distant that we
cannot look to it for emigrants; the expense would
be too great. Besides, the unsettled condition of
the Chine*s empire is an obstacle that must not be
overlooked.
But Africa continues to be the source whence
the colonies first drew their laboring population.
It is convenient to our American possessions. Its
inhabitants are gentle, robust, sociable, and inclin
ed to agricultural pursuits. Then, in addition to
this, they are oppressed and subject to the horrors
of perpetual anarchy in their own country.
Are not these reason* sufficient to induce us to
look to Africa for laborers for our colonies? And
our planters, authorized by a government careful
of their interests, have turned their attention to
that quarter. African emigration has commenced;
it is pursued with energy, and we hope it will con
tinue until our colonies revive.
But it is a great scandal to the superannuated
society which was accustomed for twenty-ti
to behold the world bow before its decreet in mas
ters of philanthropy. What! lay hands on Afrieay
the holy ark which has keen guarded with such
an extreme jealousy, and defended still more by
the prestige which it has acquired 7 Yet the Times
think* the present opportunity fortunate for seizing
it again ; and, thanks to its proceedings, Parlia
ment already resounds with the declaration of
grievances, the most grievous of which is that they
Cannot have laborers from Africa except they pur
chase them again. It ia a natural result of the so
cial state of that country. Slavery is the general
condition of its working population. As it is not
among the merchants, the mechanics, nor the land
ed proprietors that we find emigrant laborers here,
so in Africa we do not seek among the free, who
enjoy a certain degree of comfort and authority,
lot laborers willing to expatriate themselves to a
foreign climate. African emigration would be re
duced to the smallest proportion if it were restric
ted to those only who are free ; but it becomes seri
ous when it falls on those who have been redeem
ed from slavery.
But, say the English, when you buy slaves from
the African chief you encourage those chiefs to
procure others by means of incursions, and thus
perpetuate intestine wars in that unhappy country.
Unfortunately, the barbarism which reigns in that
continent is exercised independently of all outside
pressure. When an African chief does not sell
his slaves he kills them.
To deprive African of contact with civilization,
under the pretext of perserving peace amang her
tribes, is to act like a quack, who, to cure an erup
tion kills hi* patient by Ihe internal concentration
of the disease. The African chieftains have no
motive for making war; they do so out of pure in
stinct of destructiveness, and by this alone they
prove themselves savages. The poor negro cap
tives destined for human sacrifice on the occasion
of some public festival, or on the tomb of a war
rior, would hardly call it philanthropy to leave them
to their fate under pretext of a humane objection
to their purchase for emigration.
Bible societies have undertaken to submit Afri
ca to a regime of preaching, distribution of edify
ing tracts and saintly communion. Nothing more
desirable. Christianity, under whatever banner it
may be propagated, is always a benefit. But,
whatever their object, the efforts of these societies
have not yet been erowtied with any very distin
guished success. They tell us of a tribe here and
there, or ■ territory of some leagues square, in
P. H. .COLQUITT, Editor.
which tbe words of the missionary are listened to ;
but what is that in the immense extent of the Af
rican continent? Why will they not then leave us
to assist iu the work of civilization by means which,
in our ideas, are more efficacious?
In any case, we cannot see why the ul'ra-Aho
litioniels should impose their particular views upon
uw. Is not Africa an independent country 7 Is it
confided to the tutelage of Bible societies 7 A’ and
France—cannokshe act according to the dictates
of her own conscience? There exists in this res
pect no international engagement that can limit her
action. The conventions relative to the right of
search have been suppressed. Engagements en
tered into since then have been abandoned.
The landed proprietor is then rid of every in
cumbrance. Following the times, the philanthro
pists have made some stupid blunders, which should
force them into private life, or at least teach them
to speak with becoming modesty in future. In
this situation of things, when it has been proved
that the system has utterly failed, is it astonishing
that we should try another? This would at least
have two good results. It would give new activi
ty to colonial productions, and withdraw thousands
of negroes from a miserable condition.
A Legitimate Ballot-box-the “Will of the Majority.’’
The legally-expressed will of the constitutional
majority is the supreme law under onr republi
can institutions. From it there is no appeal;
above it there is no law of civil action “higher” or
more imperative. The great experiment of pop
ular government, which the founders of our insti
tutions inaugurated, and which we are too reck
lessly conducting to solution, is nothing mure than
an experiment of the government of the majority.
The experiment is not anew one. It was tried
in Athens; it was tried in other of the ancient
democracies, as well as in modern ones; and fail
ed. It tailed from sundry causes which we may
avoid ; but chiefly from two. The people acted,
more or less directly, in mass, in person, and not
through representatives chosen and commissioned
to act for them; so that clamor, rather than delib
eration, marked their proceedings, and passion,
rather than reflection, dictated to the laws. More
over, the will of the majority was a licensed, un
restrained will, regulated by no fixed constitutional
ordinance.
The excellence of our own systems of polity con
sist in the remedies we have devised for these
evils. The (bunders of our institutions based their
whole confidence in the success of our experiment
of poupular government in tbe efficacy of these
remedies. The two features of well-ordered rep
resentation and a written constitution, are those
which distinguish our governments from the re
publics that have failed, and in which are con
centrated all the hopes for the better success of our
great experiment.
The hallot-box (or rather the poll-book) is the
agency by which we select this representation, and
ascertain the constitutional will of the majority.—
It is probably the most important agency in our
system of government, and the success of our
experiment is more largely involved in the pres
ervation of its purity and legitimacy than in any
other agency whatever.
The will of the majirity being recognized as
supreme, there are but two modes of ascertain
ing it—by force and arms, or by the ballot-box—
by the Jim Lane process, or the legal process—by
the Topeka plan, or the Lecompton.
The will, of the majority to he binding, must be
consistent with the organic law, and expressed
through legally-constitututed organs. It must
be expressed by the people directly through the
ballot-box, iu the manner prescribed by law, or by
their constitutional representatives legally and reg
ularly choae.ii through the ballot-box. The ballet
box is the alembic; but it is the legitimate ballot
box of the law, and not the impromptu ballot-box
devised lor the occasion by defiant taction.
The success of our republican institutions de
pends essentially upon upholding the legitimate
ballot-box, and putting down the spurious. It is
not the mere will of a pell melt m-ijority, even
though it be a majority in fact, that may rule su
preme in our land: nor yet of a majority ascer
tained through the counterfeit ballot-box of a law
defying taction. It is onlv the will of the majority
ascertained by the ballot box of the laws and con
stitution, that is legitimately supreme. Honest,
fin blul, wise representation is very essential to the
success of our great experiment of popular gov
ernment; but more essential even than this, be
cause necessary to this, is the supremacy of the
legal, constitutional ballot-box over the mock one
of the mob.
The minority “are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights;” and the constitu
tion, and laws enacted in pursuance thereof, are
the barrier which protect these rights from the
brute power of the majority. The legitimate bal.
lot-box is the c,eature and instrument of this con
stitution aud these laws, through which alone the
tnajoriiy’s will can be expressed with authoritative
effect—can prevailjover the minority’s. The bal
lot-box of the mob, the ballot-box of faction, lacks
all the sanctions aud attributes which entitle the
many to prevail over the few through its agency.
It is ihe ballot-box of brute force over law and
order, of mere might over right. If the majority
have determined to rule over the minority, outside
of legal and constitutional forms, as well might
they carry out their purpose with a high hand and
strong arm at once, than through the sorry device
and counterfeit agency of an illegal ballot-box.—
They attack popular government in its most vital
part who usurp the sacred forms of republican pro
cedure for purposes of faction and tyranny.
Away, then, with the demagogue appeals for the
‘twill of the majority” with which the country is
now rife on the subject of Kansas. It is not the
mere will of the loose majority that is supreme in
our land of laws and constitutions ; but “the will
ot the constitutional majority expressed upon ques
tions that may be legally adjudicated through the
legitimate ballot-box.”
In these abstract reflections we have indicated
in some degree the nature ot one of the leading
questions which will soon arise in Congress m con
nection with Kansas affairs. It is a question be
tween men who have observed the forms of law and
respected the legitimate balfot-box. and men who
have wantonly and defiantly repudiated both. It
is more than a question whether negroes shall be
free or slaves in Kansas. It is more than a ques
tion of congressional fair dealing between two great
sections of the Union. It is a question that touch
es the vital action of our republican system. It is
a question whether the ballot-box of the law and
constitution or that of force and fraud shall be the
supreme arbiter between the majority and minority
of repnblican citizens. — -The Union.
An Infidel Rebuked. —An infidel, boasting in a
published letter that he had raised two acres of
“Sunday corn,” which he intended to devote to the
purchase of infidel bootes, adds: “All the work
done on it was on Sunday, and it will yield some
seventy bushels to the acre; so that I don’t see
but that Nature, or Providence, has smiled upon
my Sunday work, however the priests or the Bible
may say that work done on that day never pros
pers. My corn tells another story.” To this the
editor bf an agricultural paper replies: “If the
author of this snallow nonsense had read the Bi
ble half as much as he has the works of its oppo
nents, he would have known that the Ruler of the
Universe does not always square up his accounts
with mankind in the month of October.”
