any other medicine known. It is not only a Cathartic,
but a Liver remedy, acting first on the Liner to eject its
morbid matter, than ou the stomach and bowels to car
ry off that matter,thus accomplishing two purposes effec
tually, without any of the painful feelings experienced
in the operations of most Cathartics. It strengthens
the system at the same time that it purges it; and when
taken daily in moderate doses; will strengthen and
build it up with unusual rapidity.
The Isivur is one of the! (principal regulatorsof the

he powers of the system *J are fully developed. The
stomach is almost entirely Ly dependent on the healthy
action of the Liver for the™ proper performance of its
functions; when the stom-A ach is at fault, the bowels
are at fault,and the whole V system suffers iu conse

Delivered in the House tf Representatives,
at Indianapolis, on the 24th ult.
Gentlemen: I have come to the capi
tal of our State, not npon a political mis
sion. nor to mingle in the discussions of
public meetings, but updn professional
business, and to renew my acquaintance
with two old familiar friends, called John
Doe and Richard Roc.
I trust, however, that 1 may not live
to see the time when I shall he indifferent
to the welfare of the democratic party, or
unwilling to do my humble part to promote
its success, in whatever walk of life I may
be found.
You have come together to-night to
take counsel of public affairs, and to in
terchange opinions upon the present con
dition and future prospects of the demo
cratic party. It is eminently proper at this
time to do so. Men from every part of the
State are here, fresh from the people, and
it is right we should confer together.
Let us speak to one another kindly,
but without reserve. If differences of opin
ion exist, tbe first step towards concert of ac
tion must be tbe utterance of our sentiments.
I shall speak for myself alone, and plainly,
for I shall speak honestly, but with no desire
to wound the feelings of any man. I pro
pose to be very brief, and shall not at
tempt to play the orator, but simply to
state my opinions on some points of impor
tance.
I wish to hear a number of our friends
from different parts of the State to-night,
that we may collect, as far as possible, the
sense of the party. This is no time to en
ter into an elaborate discussion of public
affairs, or to consume an evening in set
speeches from one or two persons.
In 1856 we met together in this hall,
proclaimed our creed, and went forth to
victory. Never was there a more devoted,
united, and gallant army than that which
Ashbel. P. Willard led in that memorable
contest. Indiana achieved laurels then
tha’ should live forever, green upon her
brows.
I had tho honor to draught the State
platform of 1S56. On the slavery question,
the leading issue of the State and national
elections at that time, it was broad and un
equivocal. It endorsed “the compromise
measures of 1850 and their application as
unbodied in the Nebraska bill.” Upon
the construction of that famous bill some
difference of opinion existed.
Some contended for “State equality,” a
construction now established by the Dred
Scott decision; others for squatter sovere
ignty. The former was moreacceptible to
the South, the latter to the North. Our
platform left that question to judicial de
cision, by which, it is needless to say, the
democratic party always abides. The
preference of our people doubtless was for
squatter soverignty. We believed it the
more expedient and equitable mode of
sottling the question of slavery in the
Territories. YVe would most of us have
been gratified had the Supreme Court of the
United States recognized the legality of
squatter sovereignty, yet even here in Indi
ana there were those who denied it, and
favored State equality. The Dred Scott
decision has settled that question. That
decision has been sanctioned and accepted
by the democratic party everywhere. It
io not in conflict with tho Cincinnati prat-
form. It will doubtless be approved by the
GharlestonConventinn. Let. me rotnind you
of the resolution adopted by our State con
vention of the 8th of January last, a resolu
tion which no one opposed—not even those
shining lights that are now subsiding into
republicanism “as kindred drops are ming
led into one.” It is the unanimous voice of
tbe democracy of Indiana, expressed
plain and vigorous language:
7- Resolved, That in the late decision of
tbe Supreme Court of the United, States,
known as the Dred Scott decision, we
recognise a legal exposition of the doctrines
of the constitution, of the United States
and of the State of Indiana, and we hereby
denounce and hold up to the universal
execration and scorn of all loyal American
citizens the loathsome doctrine of “negro
equality,” now sustained and endorsed
by the so-called republican party of In
diana, as a natural and inevitable conse
quence of their opposition to the decision
of the Supreme Court above named.
This Dread Scott decision disposes of
the question of slavery in the Territories
forever, if faithfully adhered to and is a
national platform founded in justice, upon
which the democratic party of the whole
Union can stand with an unbroken front.
As to the admission of slave States into
tbe Union, the republicans profess now to
be divided among themselves. We are
united; w r e adhere to our doctrine, that
they may come in when, in the language
of the Cincinnati platform, “they have
sufficient population,” with or without
slavery, as their respective constitutions
may prescribe.
Tbe Kansas question—a temporary is
sue—is settled by the English bill, in con
formity with the principle as to population
laid down in the Cincinnati platform, and,
let me add, in the Fillmore Platform, too.
It. is well known to you that I voted for
that bill. It is scarcely necesary to add
that I approved it. I defended it, popu
lation clause and all, in my late canvass,
and I intend to stand by it.
I have seen it charged in southern news
papers, and in the speeches of some
southern men, who ought to have known
better, that tbe northern democratic repre
sentatives had desert the English bill. It
may be true as to some; it is not true as to
all. It is notoriously untrue as to myself.
It is just as far from being true as the let
ters of certain distinguised southern demo
crats upon Illinois politics, recently pub
lished, are from being either wise or well
timed. I ain very free to declare my
opinion that those letters were iu very bad
taste. Now% what ground shall we, as a
party in Indiana, occupy on the slavery
question in the future? Shall wc go for
ward or go back? Wc will soon be called
on to unfurl our flag for the great battle of
1860. I say, let us stand by tbe Dred
Scott decision-let us stand by the Eng
lish bill.
I have witnessed, with regret, indica
tions of a purpose to keep enough of the
slavery question open and in doubt to serve
as a pretext for agitation and make an is
sue for electioneering purposes. The pro
lific brain of Mr. Douglas has brought
forth a new apecies of squatter sovereign
ty, called “unfriendly legislation;” the
purport of which is, that although the con
stitution of the United States protects
slave property in the Territories it needs
the'aid of territorial legislation to give it
effect! Quite a discovery, truly! The
combined effect of this patent squatter
sovereignty and the Dred Scott decision
would lead us back to the very point in
this slavery controversy, from which we
set out.
The same views have been attributed to
Senator Davis, of Mississippi. I have
no doubt he has been misrepresented.— _ ^ ^ ^
He never uttered any such opinions. If any I $i*,30o!
sontheren man comes to ns with such doc
trine, let us call him a southern doughface,
and tell him to go home.
Away with th is continual shuffling and
ltering upon tli is question of slavery.—
et us meet our responsibilities like men.
The democratic people of the North are
misunderstood, indeed, when any such
sickly and spurious philanthropy is impu
ted to them as to require diluted doses of
abolitionism to give tone to their stomachs.
I say to you here to-night, that, if the
constitution of the United States gives the
slaveholder a right to his property in the
Territories, as 1 believe it does, that right
is perfect under the constitution, and needs
no territorial legislation to make it so.
I believe that 1 utter the sentiment of
every sound democrat in Indiana when I
say I am for the constitution of my coun
try, in its letter and spirit; and in all its
consequences, immediate aud remote; and
if that constitution imposes manacles upon
every negro in the Union, I am for it still,
because it is the. constitution of my coun
try. And I take the decision of the Su
preme Court as a binding exposition of its
terms. If tbe Dred Scott decision is ad
hered to, in its plain meaning, there must
be an end of slavery agitation, except with
those who war upon the government itself;
we will have no more political issues on
slavery; but, if it is misinterpreted, eva
ded, or frittered away, we will again be
divided, distracted, and cursed with slave
ry agitation.
How to make Home Aappy.—Do not
jest with your wife upon a subject, in
which there is danger of wounding her
feelings. Remembor that she treasures
every word you utter, though you never
think of it again. Do not reproach your
wife with personal defects, for if she has
sensibility^ you inflict a wound difficult to
heal. Do not treat your wife wiih inat
tention in company. Do not upbraid her
in presence of a third person, nor entertain
her with praising the beauty and ac
complishments of other women. If you
would have a pleasant home and cheerful
wife, pass your evenings under your own
roof, and remarkable for sociability else
where, Remember that your wife has as
much need of recreation as yourself, and
devote a portion, at least, of your leisure
moments, to sucb society and amusements
as she may join. By so doing, you will
secure her smiles, and increase her affec
tion. Do not, by being too exact in
pecuniary matters, make your wife feel her
dependence upon your bounty. It tends
to lessen her dignity of charactar; and does
not increase her esteem for you. If she is
a sensible woman, she should be acquaint
ed with your business and know your in
come, and she may regulate her household
expenses accordingly. Do not withhold
this knowledge, in order to cover your own
extravagance. Women have a keen per
ception—be sure she will discover your
selfishness—aud though no word is spoken,
from that moment her respect is lessened,
and her confidence diminished, pride
wounded, and a thousand, perhaps, nnjnst
suspicions created. From that moment is
your domestic comfort on the wane. There
can be no oneness where there is no full
confidence.
f Woman’s Thoughts about Women.
—
A Lessionfor Suicidal Lovers.—Richard Gould,
a journeyman harness maker Cincinnatti, has
himself jeen harnessed by Cupid aud drived to the
very gates of desperation. His enslaver is a young
lady named Charlotte Matthews, whose mother
keeps a boarding-house on Elm street, and who
appears to have made up her mind to some more
brilliant alliance than that offered by Mr. Gould.
Bnt as Richard has a very good opinion of bis own
merits and qualifications, he jndged that Charlot
te’s coolness was mere eequetry, believing that,
when it came to the scratch, she would cave in
at a moment’s warning. He resolved to melt at
once the soul of the playful nymph, and to surprise
her into an avowal of her, real feelings. For this
purpose he proceeded, about 20 minutes past 5
o’clock yesterday afternoon to the dwelling of Mm.
Matthews, stretched himself out upon the front
door steps, holding iu liis hand an empty phial,
upon which he had pasted a label of “strychnine.”
“Now there will be an affecting scene when my
captivating Charlotte comes oat,” soliloquised Mr.
Gould, ashe closed liis eyes and composed his fea
tures to a corps like immobility. Presently Miss
Matthews appeared at the door with a broom in
her hand, for the purpose of sweepinping thesteps.
On seeing the recumbent Richard, she ottered an
exclamation of surprise, and then tried to stir him
up with the broom stick; but, finding that he did
not move, she called out, “Mother, mother, here’s
Dick Gould coiled up on our steps, and I don’t
know what ails him” Dead drunk, I guess,” said
Mrs. Matthews, as she also came to the front door
“No, I’ll declare if he hasn’t kicked the bucket in
reality,” said Charlotte, spying the bottle and ta
king it out of Gouid’s hand. "See, the fool has
been taking strychinel” “Poor soul” sighed tha
benevolent old lady; “how natural he looks!” “He
looks about as well as ho did when he was alive,”
ohsorved Charlotte, “aud that’s not saying much
for his beauty He never could hold a candle to
Jimmy Hickman at any time.” This Mr. Hick
man is a spruce young clerk who boards with Mm.
Matthews, and who happened to come home at that
very juncture.
When he saw the supposed corpse, James offered
to go for the coroner to hold au inquest over the
“poor devil,” as he cilled Mr. Gould. “Wall, I
don't like the notion of having coroner and jury
fellows poking about here,” said Mrs Matthews.
“No,” added Charlotte, “just drag the nasty
creature on the cellar door of the next bonse,
Jimmy, and then washyonr hands and come into
supper.”
Mr. Hickman took the corps by the' feet, to do as
lie was directed, when Gould dealt him a kick
which doubled him up like a jack knife. Tha
ladies shriked, and Mr. Gould, starting, up was
beginning to upbraid Charlotte for her hardness of
heart, but tne arrival of a policeman interrupted
his oratory* and he walked away a “sadder and a
wiser man.’,—Cincinnatti Gazette.
Pass Him lnu4.
Our editorial cotemparies, far and near, may
perhaps prevent crime and misfortune, and aid tho
canse of justice, hy copying, or making, a note of
the subjoined. During the last summer, a person
calling himself James W. Geary, came to this place
from Orange Spring. East Florida, and passed
some three or four months in this region. He had
previously formed a casual acquaintenco with an
estimable young lady of this place in East Florida
where nothing w as know to his prejudice, and
after prosecuting his suit here some months, and
satisfying her friends of his respectability and
wealth, succeeded in marrying her. While here,
he effected a contract for the purchase of Orange
Spring and Hotel in East Florida, and represented
that after a somewhat roving life and a successful
quest offortniie in California, he had determined
to looate there for tbe remainder of his life. Ha
advertised the Hotel, had a considerable amount
of printing done, and ordered supplies for it from
Savannah. About three weeks ago he took his
departure, leaving orders on his brother in-law to
pay his bills, and procured hie endorsement to
drafts on New York, amounting to 1800 dollar*
which he cashed at the Manufacturer’s Bank.
After he had gone, doubts were suggested by tho
hank and a telegram to New York was answered
‘•no account with James W. Geary.” He was
followed to Savannah—affected great surprise at
the answer—said there must be a mistake. More
telegraping was had with no satisfactory rosal^—
and meanwhile he dodged by way of Thunderbolt,
escaped hy the Florida boat, having sent forward
his wife and servants by a previous steamer to
Orange Spring. While in Savannah, he had made
extensive purchases for Orange 8pring Hotel, and
collected from one of the banks a deposit of $500
under oath that he had lost the certificate. Ho
left the Florida boat at Femandina, aud hssbeen
tracked over a devious route, under different
names, up into 8onthem Georgia, to Tbomasvillo,
where he entered himself McGary, and collected
again from an Agency, with the certificate of do-
posite, the $500 he obtained from the Mother
Bank in Savannah on oath that bo bad lost tho
certificate: and after sundry other pecuniary viHa-
nies, he is traced up to Fort Valley, on the South-
Western Railroad, where he is lost sight of,
Brevity does not permit mentioning half of
Geary’s villainies—even to robbing the children.
He Is undoubtedly one of the moat incorrigible vil-
lians alive.
Geary, who was often in the office daring hit
sojonru in Macon, i j about 5 feet 9 inches high-
stout—wore a heavy beard, very black, and a lux
uriant crop of hair, both of which were dyed. He
has a scar on hiB forehead—another, as we are told,
in the back of his head, and a third on liis left
shoulder. We suppose him to be about thirty-five
years of age. His complexion is light—his con
versation prompt and intelligent—appearance tha*
of a gentleman. Wears eye-glasses in reading.
