A Medicine that never Debilitates
DR. SAND FORD’S
INVIGORATOR,
OR LIVER REMEDY,
IS N ARTICLE THAT EVERY BODY NEEDS WHO IS
nol iu a perfect state of health, for the Liver is second only
to the heart in our human economy, and when thatis derail
-ed the whole vital machinery runs wrong. To find a me-'icine
peculiarly adapted to this disease has been the study ot one
of Die i roprietors in a large and extended prac ice tor
the past twent y years, and the result of his experiment is the
luvigorator, as a never-failing remedy where medic.ne has
any power to help. Asa liver remedy it has no equal, as ali
testily who use it.
\ lady writing from Brooklyn, says: “Wou’d that 1 could
express iu this short letter the value your invigor&tor has
been to me fn raising a large family ot children, tor it has
never failed to relieve all all affections of the stomach, bowels
or attacks of worms. If mothers had th remedy p'aced
within their reach,and were taught how o use it, a tearful
aud untold amount ot agony might be saved.
One of our prominent bankers says, ‘‘Five or six years ago
1 found inysell running down with a liver difficulty; resorting
to your mvigorator, was greatly relieved, and continuing
for a season, was entirely restored.’’
A clergyman called at our c slice the other day and said he
had given a Door woman a bottle, who was suffering very bad
iy from the Liver Complaint, and before she hud taken the
whole ot it she was at worn earning bread for ner lamily.
A gentleman, recently from t e west,says, while at Chicago,
hew sat’ eked with a slow, lingering lever, that baffled the
g*rill ot physicians, but the luvigorator cured him in a few
days.
Oneof our city merchants said, while on a visi t ‘to Troy, a
few days sinee, he was attacked with bowell aud st much
disorders, so as to confine him to his room, he sent to the drug
store for a bottle ot In vigorator, took one dose, which relieved
him so that he wa9ableto attend his business.
An acquaintance, whose business compete him to write
most of the time, says he became so weak us to be unable at
times to hold his pen, while at others sleep would overpower
h m but the luvigorator cured him.
A gentleman from Brooklyn called on us a week or two
since, looking but the shadow of a man, with his skin yellow,
pale ana deathlike. He hud een for a long time suffering
from Jaundice and Dyspepsia, and unable to attend to his bu
siness. We saw him again to-day a changed man. and to U 66
his expression; he has not seen the bottom of the first bott'e,
and further adds, “it saved my lile, lor 1 was last going to a
consumptive's grave.
Among the hundreds of Liver remedies now offered < to the
public, there aie none we can so fully recommend as Dr San
lord’s 1 1 vigorator. or Liver Remedy, so generally known now
throughout the Union. This preparation ps truly a Liver In -
vigorator, producing t e most happv results on ail who use
it. Almost innumerable certificates have been given of the
great virtueof this medicine by those of the highest standing
in society, and it is, without .doubt; the be6tprtparatiou dow
before the pubiic.

Hymn for the Seasons.- bowrinu.
The heavenly spheres to thee, O God,
Attune their evenina hymn;
All-wise, all holy, thou art praised.
In song of seraphim,,
Unnumbered systems, suns and worlds
Unite to worship Thee,
While thy majestic greatoess fills
Space, time, eternity.
Nature, a temple worthy Thee,
Beams with thv light and love;
Whose flowers so swdetly bloom below,
Whose stars ifjoice above;
W’hose altats are the mountain cliffs
That rise along Ihe shore;
Whose anthems are the sublime accord
Os storm and ocean roar.
Her song of gratitude is sung
By Spring’s awakening hours;
Her summer offers at thv shrine
Its earliest. loveliest flowers;
Her autumn brings her golden Iruits,
In glorious luxury given;
While Winter’ssilver heights reflect
Tlty brightness back to heaven.
Be Kind to the Loved Ones at Home.
Be kind to thy Father—for when thou wast young,
Who loved thee so loudly as he?
He caught the lirsi accents that tell from thy tongue,
And joined in thy innocent glee;
Be kind to tl.y lather tor row he is old,
His locks intermingle with grey,
Hi loot-teps are feeble, once tearless aud bold,
Thy lather is passing away.
Be kind to thy Mother—for 1 1 “on her brow
.May traces of sorrow be seen;
Oh. well may’st tnou cherish and comfort her now,
For loving and kind has she been.
Remember thy mother—lor thee will she pray,
As long as God givelh her breath;
With accertso! kindness then cheer her lone way,
E’en to the dark valley of death.
Behind to thy Brother— hisjteart will have dearth
Il the smile ol thv love be withdrawn,
The flowers of feelicg will lade at their birth,
if the due ot afl-ction be gone.
Be kind to thv brother—wherever you are,
love of a brothershall he,
An ornament purer and richer by tar
Than pearls Irom the depths of ihe sea.
Be kind to thy Sister—not many may know
The depth of true sisterly love.
The wealth ot the ocean lies fathoms below
The surlace that sparkles above.
B - kind to thy lath r once tearless and bold,
Be kind to thv mother so near,
Be kind to ihy brother, nor show thy heart cold.
Be kind to thy sister so dear.
Mr. Toombs iu reply to Mr. Crittenden,
We fiodtho following extract of ~tir distinguished
Senator’s reply to Mr. Cr nenden, going the rounds
of the northern press. Our readers have in il but
an item as it were of the able efforts of their Sena
tor during the recent Kansas-Lecompton debates
in ihe Senate.
Senator Toombs in reply to Mr. Crittenden. —
Wtn.t was ihe effect of this repeal of the Missouri
restriction upon his constituents and mine? what
upon all the people of every section of the Union ?
It simply restored our common property to the
equal common ei joymentof its joint owners. We
asked no advantage, and sought none, over any
portion ot the Union. We demanded that all the
people of all the States should not be forbidden by
act of the Congress to enler the common domain
with their families and property of every sort, but
should be protected by our common Government
in ihe peaceable enjoyment of their r gilts, until ihe
new Territory should be strong enough to take
upon herself the duties and burdens and righisof
a sovereign State, and then that she might adopt
such domestic institutions as she might prescribe
in her eoustitulion. We restored to the Kentuck
ian, in common with all h s brethren of the Union,
the long lost right to carry his slave,on these terms
into all the Territories ol the Union. This edict of
exclusion was overthrown, and his countrymen
and mine were then by restored to their just rights
in the Territories. This is her right, sir; is Ken
tucky prepaed to surrender it? No, sir, never,
never ! 1 know her history ;it is one of which she
is justly proud. I know the valor, the prowess,
the intrepidity, and the lofty patriotism of her sons.
1 know, too, that, like my friend’s, her devotion lo
the Union is deep and abiding. 1 have sometimes
feared that her danger was that she might ‘love,
not wisely, but too wellthat her worship ot it
bordered on idolatry. Yet lor all this, she will
main ain her just and equal rights iu the Coufeder
acy ; and il these shackles are again in put upon
her stal an limbs ; if she is deprived of these rights
restored to her by the repeal ofthe Missouri restric
tion ; ifshe shall be degraded from the high posi
tion of equality in this Union, no State will feel
more keenly, or te-isi more firmly this great wrong
than Kentucky. Nor will the anguish of her great
heart be lessoned by the consciousness that the
fatal hlo- isstrucn by one of her own beloved and
cbetished sons.
‘Keen [will be] pangs, but keener by far to
She nursed the passion which impelled the
steel.’
Mr. President, there is another test of the nation
ality of this policy, to which I would for a few mo
ments, invite your attention. Not alone in the
South, whose interests are mainly and more ttnnie
diateiy affected by it, but tl roughout the non slave
bidding States front the Atlantic to the Pacific, its
supporters are to be leund, men, who, rising supe
rior to local and sectionol prejudices and passions
and influences, brave dare all for tbe public weal.
At the head ot this noble column of patriots stands
the President of the Republic. Having reached,
by ihe voices of his countrymen, rite loliie.-t pinna
cle ol honorable ambition, at once the reward and
testimony of a long, able, brilliant, and patriotic ca
reer in the service of his country, surely none can
dottbi the disinteristedness ofhis council, or the
purity ofhis motives. His suttdsof life have near
ly run out. At home and abroad, in the Cabinet
and in the Senate, he has .von unfading laurels for
himself and shed lustre over the annals of his coun
try. His political record is made up ;it is submit
ted to the future, to time, and to irurit ; full of
years and honors he can now only seek to make a
record that shall stand ihe scrutiny of the Judge
of all ihe earth. Looking at litis question at his
li.fty eminence, above the clouds and passiot s
which jol sure the mental vision of tbe active
combatants, lie supports this great policy which I
have reviewed, and decides this measure lo be
wise, just, and necessary to tbe peace of the Re
public. By his side stands another venerable patri
ot from the same section of the Union, w-ho has
passed the ordinary period of life a lotted to man ;
one whose life has been patriotically devoted to the
service of the country, to the practice of virtue,
and the pursuit of truth. He, too, gave his vgice
and his vote against the Missouri restriction, and
gives his support to the measure before us. Con
necticut aud Pennsylvania supply two other able,
upright, anti distinguished sons in the Cabinet to
enlarge this patriot band and to vindicate these
measures.
Many of the truest, firmest, and most able defen
tiers of this policy are to be found on this floor
and in the other House, among the representatives
of tile Northern Democracy. Shoulder to shoulder
with ourselves have these noble patriots struggled
through long years against the rage and fanaticism
ofthe common enemiesof equality ih the Territo
ries and the independance of the States. From
the begining of this conflict, with uuanswering de
votion to their convictions, to the rig.it, they have
struggled on, defying prejudice, passion, and the
torrents of defamation with which they have been
assailed. A large majority of the Northern Democ
racy in Congress voted to strike this restriction
from the statute book, and thus restore the rights
of their Southern brethren. Their enemies taunt
ingly pointed out to them daily the wrecks and
ruins of the political hopes of their comrades, who
have fallen in this great constitutional battle.—
Every wave of this fanaticism, to arrest which
they have thrown themselves with such heroic and
patriotic virtue into the breach, sweeps away some
of them. Others will share the same fate; yet the
noble remant are’ undismayed, Standing for the
right upholding the Constitution, they present a
spectacle of moral sublimity which challenges the
admiration ts triend and foe, and has no parallel in
ancient and modern times. This is true heroism,
it deserves a monument more durable than brass.
While some of their comrades have fallen honora
bly in the contest, others less fortunate have deser
ted and swelled the advancing host ofthe enemy,
and left the lessoned band to bear the bruntof this
great contest. Their intrepidity, their courage,
their patriotic devotion to their principles have
risen with the occasian. Every increase of danger
has been met with asiudier, a more defiant cour
age. They have thrown their banner on ihe outer
walls; and, neither changrined by treachery, nor
disheartened by desertion, nor overawed by num
bers, they display a magnanimity and courage as
great as the occasion, as prolonged as the conflict
All honor to this noble band of patriots !
Patriotic Words—The Issue.
The Eufaula Spirit oi the South, thus alludes to the re
jection of Kansas by Congress.
We think that if Kansas is rejected under the
Lecompton Constitution, the rejection will be on
account, of the existence of slavery in her laws.
The pretense that the rejection is upon the
ground of fraud in making the Cons ituiion, is
transparently lalse. The leaders of the opposi
tion to her admission, are Ihe same gang of traitors
who have fora long lime insisted upon her admis
sion under the Topeka treason, made by a mob in
open rebellion against the laws of the land—and it
would be greener than we are willing to consent
to be, to conclude that such tricksters could all at
once grotv so much opposed to fraud, if it exist at
all.
That pretense is to give a flimsy excuse for
southern traitors to cover their shame for joining
wiih and giving aid aud comfort to the enemies of
the r section.
We think also that to admit the State and reject
the Constitution, with slavery in it, by referring it
hack to the people ought no: to be more s ttisfac
t< ry to the South, than to reject both ; as to reject
the constitution on account of slavery does us all
the wrong that could be done—and adds the in
sult ofsupp sng we can be amused by the trick
of giving us the words,“admitting the State,” while
tliev ttu'iify the rights—the constitution with sla
very.
Nor do we think the idea that the South should
not resist the aggression because of the assump
tion that slavery cannot be permanent in Kansas,
is worth considering. For if it be true that slave
ry cannot exist permanently in Kansas, then why
shall the anti—slavery men oppose her admission?
Whether admitted or not they have things their
own way. To reject her then is not for the prac
tical good they derive from the act, and is for the
sole purpose of inflicting a degrading insult upon
the South. Hence if this view is to be taken at
all,it can only intensify the degradation ofthe South
for no real benefit to her enemies.
We think rejection of the State, or constitution
or b th by Congr ss, calls upon the builders and
supporters ofthe Georgia Platform to go to work,
and should they act thus in accordance with their
pledges and the suggestion of an enlightened pa
trioiism, we are with them through evil, as well
as through good report, in storm or in sunshine.
Counting the Cost of the Union.
Whenever southern men, wearied by the un
tiring and unceasing impositions of the fanatical
spirit of northern abolitionism, express the belief
that a sundering of the bind the two
great sections of this country together, alone can
give that happiness and independence requisite to
the wealfare of both, and their willingness under
certain contingencies to adopt this last remaining
remedy—they are, always met with the reply—that
they have not counted the cost of the Union. The
plain English of this expression to our minds is
this-viz : That the South has many wrongs yet
to suffer at the hands of Northern aggression,—that
she is still to be deprived of many dear and sacred
rights to her people, that all the blood and money
she expended in establishing the Union, all the
mortifications insults and injustice, which have
been through a long series of years heaped upon
iter, are still inadequate to give her a just idea of
the value ofthe Union to her, when compared with
the price which she has paid for the enjoyment of it
and its privileges.
That this is religiously believed by a large por
tion ofthe Northern people we do not doubr, and
we are both alarmed and ashamed to confess, that
there are those amongst us in the South who if
they do not participate in the belief, so speak and
act as to strenghten it in the minds of others.—
Sav, Georgian.
The Position of Alabama-
The lion. Eli S. Shorter, and other Representa
tives from Ala., have defended fully her position.
The State through her Legislature has taken the
position staled by these gentlemen. It is her duty
as well as her interest to maintain herself on the
ground she now occupies. She has said to the
world ihal she will rto longer submit to Northern
aggession. That her Rights have been trampled
on long enough. And she lias now determined
to be free. Such, in substance are her resolves,
and we hope she will carry them out. She has
but to maintain this position and every Southern
State will sustain her, and will say to her “tveh
done good and fiithful servant.” It is time the
South had ceased lo talk and begun to act. She
will find that as neither words nor grass will do
she will be forced to try the vi r tne ot stones. We
have every confidence in Alabama, her people ar
brave, patriotic, and determined, and we find no
disposilion in them to falter but on the contrary to
sustain the Legislature in her course. There is a
determination in the people we have nevei wit
nessed before to resist.
“Bv their country’s rights they swear,
By their country’s wrong to die.”
Let the course of Alabama be onward, let there
be no wavering, no retrograde motion. Site has
passed the Rubicon and now lei her strike boldly
for rights. It is the only way in which the Union
can be preserved, our rights respected, and our
equality maintained If the Union should be dis
solved (which we cannot believe) then let it go.—
Our motto should be independence out of it, or
equality in it. Why should we be any longer
hewets of wood and drawers of water for those
who have no more rights than ourselves. —Eujaula

Messrs. Zolicoffar, Ready, and Maynard vs. John Bell
at Home.
The Memphis (Tennessee) Appeal, (democrat
ic,) commenting on the course ofthe South Ameri
cans upon the Kansas question, says;
“Messrs. Zollicotter, Ready, and Maynard de
serve the plaudits of their constituents and the
warm commendations of the entire South for the
noble and patriotic position they have taken, and
the firmness with which they maintain it. It has
been said that republics are ungrateful, but they
are only so to those who are untrue to them.”
The Nashville (Tennessee) Patriot (American)
also applauds the course of the above-named gen
tlemen, and hv implication charges Mr. Bell
with having joined the Black-Republicans. It
says :
“The New York Express calls for a Union of the
Americans in Congress upon Mr. Crittenden’s sub
stitute for the Kansas bill which has passed the
Senate. It wants to see suclt a ‘union for the sake
of the Union and asks Americans in the South
to speak out in support of their representatives,
should they follow its advice. ‘ln this respect we
should like to see a demonstration of the right
kind in Tennessee,’ quoth the Express. Aye, lei
us have it. We want to see the men who will
do the bidding of the Express in this matter. We
want to see who here will counsel Zollicoffer, and
Maynard, and Ready to join ihe black-republicans,
a sectional party, to prevent a sectional issue from
being forced upon the country." — Washington U

Who’ll Win?
There is trouble in store for the triple alliance.—
Mr. Seward could not have wort the victory against
Lecompton without the aid of Douglas and Critten
den and their friends. Douglas could not have gain
ed it without the co-operation of Crittenden and Se
ward and their friends; nor Crittenden without
the assistance of Seward and Douglas and their
friends. Each of them will doubtless expect lo be
paid in proportion to the services rendered ; and
each, no doubt, supposes that the nomination for
the presidency is the least than can be offered him.
In point of actual aid, Seward has unquestionably
contributed the most; for he furnished 112 of tbe
150 Iriends which the opposition had in both houses
of Congress; but then he sacrificed nothing.—
Douglas only contributed twenty-five votes, but
he furnished a fair quantity of the speaking and a
vast amount of inconsistency. And Crittenden,
though he contributed lewer votes than either, act
ed in defiance of the wishes of the people he rep
resented, and was, besides, the author ofthe ma
nceuvre which, it is claimed, secured the victory.—
Now, this being the capital invested by each, the
question is to which of the three, crediting.Se
wardwith advantages in numbers, Douglas with
the inconsistency, and Crittenden with the in
ventive talent contri uted, shall the palm ho award
ed. That the “wise men” of the new alliance will
find considerable difficulty in deciding the point is
to be expected. Asa majority of them will be ihe
friends of Mr. Seward, we think it most likely that
he will bear off the honors; but if he does, Douglas
and Crittenden will bolt—the former most likely re
turning, like the prodigal son, to the ranks of his
old friends, and the latter going oft in a gang bv
himself and setting up on his own hook, preltv
n ueh as Mr. Fillmore did two years ago.— Wash.

They Distrust Eiicli Other.
The Black Republicans are dstrnsfil of their
new recruits. They fear deset lion and a stampede
They tire mindful ofthe old negro’s notion—“white
man mighty uncertain.” They distrust the decis
ive vote on the Kansas question. They fear the
birds will flush before entering the net.
They are anxious to bag their game before they
have taken it. It is said they are actively circula
ting a paper for signatures, by which to pledge ev
ery man in advance to vote as they want him to do,
at the filial roll call. Will a pledge do? Why not
adopt the old Know Nothing pianos an oath as
well as a pledge? A man that is base enough to
sign away his suffrage and contract away his rep
resentative duty to constituents, is base enough to
forfeit the pledge and violate the contract after it is
made. Why not chain and gag the suspected? A
man that is mean spirited enough to allow himself
to be approached with a paper by men who distrust
him, is mean spirited enough to take the gag and
chain. Try the oath and pledge—try the gag and
chain.— Union.
“Staws,” &c. —The amendment to the bill pro
posing to admit Kansas into ’he Union immediately
and unconditionally, and by which amendment
such admission is virtually postponed, and made
dependent on the action of two different elections
to be iiereafter held in Kansas, whilst it holds forth
for its ostensible object the recognition of the prin
ciple of popular sovereignty, is in fact a mere po
litical ruse to unite the know-nothing and black
republican parties on the next presidential election,
and it successful the distinguished mover of that
amendment, more than the people of Kansas or
the principleof popular sovereignty, will be benefit
ed. The black-republicans, it will be remembered,
assailed with a violence only equalled by that dis
played against the clauses respecting slavery in
the Lt compton constitution, that clause inhibiting
eligibility lo the office of governor of the State of
any man who had not been a citizen for twenty
one years when elected. This clause is abandoned
by Mr. Crittenden in the arrangement of his amend,
ment and put into the same category as the clause
respecting slavery. This would all be better un
derstood if a certain letter, reported to have been
written by Mr. Crittenden on the eve of the presi
dential nominations of 1856, and whilst he was a
candidate before the know-nothing national con
vention, expressing his views on the topic of sla
very, in a way calculated to conciliate northern at.d
north western free-soil support, was laid before the
public eye. The loiter, we recollect it was said, was
written to a Mr. 8., of Kentucky, and exhibited by
him in the North to many of the know-nothing
free-soilers with considerable effect. Time will
prove all things, and, as old father Ritchie was
wont to say, so we say, as to these political in
trigues—Nous verrons. — Wash. Union.
The Administration and Cuba—Letter-wri

to make satisfaction for numerous offences against

clusive action of Congress on the Kansas measure,
in order to press this matter upon tins attention of

A Young Girl in a Trance Forty Eight Hours.
—About 10 o’clock on last Thursday night, a
young girl named Isabella Ellison,rea ding in Wa-di
ingtoe street Poughkeepsie, while at the altar at a
Methodist church in tliatc ty, suddenly lilted up
her hands and fell back apparently dead. Several
persons immediately ran to her assistance, and
to their horror they discovered that her eyes were
glazed and set, her features pale as marble, her lips
colorless, and her feet and hands cold as those ot
a corpse. It was shortly after discovered that she
yet breathed, when she was conveyed to her resi
dence,the preacher saying that she was in a trance,
and when a member advi ed that medical assis
tance should be procured, he objected, saying,‘The
Lord has placed her in this mysterious state, and
tie will, at his own time, raise her to test.fy to his
goodness.’
She remained in this state until Saturday even
ing, excepting a slight movement which occurred
on Friday afternoon, when she lifted up iter hand
and made three or four efforts to clutch some
thing, when the arra fell hack over the headboard
over the bed. Twoorthieeof the women who
were in the house at the time attempted to re
place the arm upon the bed, but were unable to
bend or move it. On Saturday evening a numbe
of Iter friends were in the house, singing her favor
rite hymn, when she suddenly lilted her hand, cry
ing out, “glory, hallelujah!” She then turned to
one of her friends, and calling her by name, said
“Repent, repent. Oh, if you had seen what 1
have, you would not live another moment in your
sins, but would prav to God to have mercy upon
you. I have been in Heaven, it is lit up with the
glory ot God, and around thb throne were thou
sands of Angels, singing sweetly the praises ot
the King of Heaven. By and by Jesus came past,
and spoke to me. I also saw the great gulf, but
could scarcely see the bottom of it.” On Friday
night, a number of persons visited the house and
remained singing and praying until daylight. The
young lady was very weak when she awoke out
of the trance, butwa.- stronger yesterday morning
and attended church. This case has caused ton
siderable excitement in Poughkeepsie. —New York
