House of Representatives, of which Mr.
I ■ » a member.
i'li - pinion is in strict conformity with the re- i
V:.'d parliamentary law.
1 i.-soll. in liis Precedents, says as follows:
Hie leading principle which appears to per- 1
ill tbe proceedings between the two Houses j
i’.ulianieiit is, that there shall subsist a perfect
aliiv with respect to each other; and that they 1
j ei lie, ill every respect, t tally independent one j
lie oiher. From hence it is, that neither House
claim, much less exercise, any authority over j
! i inber of tbe other ; but, if there is any ground
j aiplaint against an act of the House itself,
j . .iiisi any individual member, or against any of
j officers of either House', this complaint ought
made to that House of Parliament where the
I ‘ nee is ebarged to be committed ; and the na-
I and mode of redress or punishment, if pnn
,l.ll! is necessary, must be determined upon
i inflicted bv them. Indeed, any other proceeding
1 soon introduce disorder and confusion: as it
os actually to have done in those instances
if.:.. both Houses, claiming a power indepon
-1 .: of each other, have cxercis, d that power up
| same subject, but with different views and
J Hilary purposes.”—i 3 Hatsell, A7. t
| ■We see, from the several precedents above
| led, that neither House of Parliament can take
I -Ives io redress anv injury or punish
. o breach of privilege ottered to them by anv
• camber of the other House; but that, in such
• s.'s, ihe usual mode of proceeding is to examine
' 1 the fact, and then to lay a statement of that
donee before the House of which the person
mplained of is a member.”—( Ibid, 71.)
Mr. Jett'erson, in the Manual of Parliamentary
• •rice. prepared by him, lays down tlie follow-
g rule:
" Xtilher House can exercise any authority over
iuembt-r or officer of the other, but should coni
i.ou to the House of which he is, and leave the
punishment to them.”
A brief examination of the Constitutional privi- '
;-'ges of Senators and Representatives will show
soundness of this rule of Parliamentary law. '
The Constitution provides article 1, section 0 )
ii! "they shall in all eases, except treason, felo
> and breach of the peace, be privileged from '
•crest during their attendance at the sessions
t their respective houses, and in going to and re
citing from the same.”
But the Senate is not a court of criminal judica
tre. empowered to try the excepted offences. It
iuuot take cognizance of a breach of the peace
... It cannot take anv notice of it except as
5 breach of its privileges, and in this character it
- not one of the cases in which the privilege from
'n s: is accepted. The Senate, therefore, for a
i U of it privileges, cannot arrest a member of
House of Representatives, and, a fortiori , it
-’mot try and punish him. That authority de
lves solely upon the house of which he is a uieui
lt is the opinion of the committee, therefore,
at the S uate cannot proceed further itt the pre
; at cast than to make complaint to the House of
!> ; resentatives of the assault committed by one
's members, the Hon. Preston S. Brooks, upon
H a. t'harles Sumner. Senator from the State
“l Massachusetts.
The committee submit herewith, certain affida
vits taken by them in this case, and the following
i resolution :
Itemlved, That the above report be accepted,
and that a copy thereof, and of the affidavits ac
, companying the same, be transmitted to the House
of Representatives.
Quettifru to Col. Nichokon. —Will you state to the
i committee whether you witnessed the recent as
sault upon Mr. Sumner; and if you did, state all
the particulars?
On Thursday last, the 22d of May inst., a few
moments after the adjournment of the Senate I
retired, as usual, to my desk in one of tbe offices’of
the Secretary of the Senate. After the lapse of a
brief period, I returned to the Senate Chamber to
request the assistant doorkeeper (Mr. Holland to
have a piece of money changed for me. After
seeking the doorkeeper and communicating my
wish to him, I was walking down the main aisle to
the chamber, when I observed the Hon. Mr. Brooks
of South Carolina, sitting at the desk of Senator
Pratt. I saluted him, “How is Colonel Brooks
| to-day? He responded, “ Well, I thank vou;” and
beckoning to me, he added, “ Come here, Nichol
! son. I advanced, and placed myself in Senator
; Bayard’s chair, near which, on my right. Major
j Emory, of the United States Army,'was standing,
and with whom I had been conversing a few min
utes before. Col. Brooks remarked to me in his
usual tone of voice, and without the slightest show
of inquietude, “ Doyou see that lady in the lobby?”
Turning around, and observing a lady sitting on
the lounge at a short distance from us, f said “Yes.”
Col. B. said, “ she has been there for some time ;
what does she want ? Can’t you manage to get
her out? ' Thinking that Col. B. was only indulg
ing a momentary whim, I jocosely replied, “No :
ihat would be ungallant; besides, she is very pret
ty.” Col. 8., turning round, and looking at the
lady, said, “ Yes, she is pretty, hut 1 wish she
would go.” At this moment the changed money
was brought to me by one of the pages, and al
most at the same moment Major Emory inquired,
“Who was that gentleman voti were conversing
with ?” I had scarcely said, “Colonel Brooks, of
South Caro iua, a very clever fellowwhen, ob
serving Colonel Brooks advancing in front of and
towards, as though about to speak to Senator Sum
ner, w i,o was sitting at his desk apparently enga
ged in writing, or with papers before him. I can
not be positive which, 1 involuntarily attempted to
call Major Emory’s attention to the fact, for I was
much surprised to see a South Carolina repreuta
tive in the act of approaching to speak to Senator
Sumner after the speech delivered by the latter the
two previous days but onein the Senate. But before
I could attract Major Emory’s attention or express
surprise, 1 saw Colonel Brooks lean on and over
the desk of Senator Sumner, and seemingly say
something to him, and instantly, and while Sena
tor Sumner was in the act of rising, Col. Brooks
struck him over the head with a dark-colored walk
ing cane, which blow he repeated twice or three
times, and with rapidity, f think several blows had
been inflicted before Senator Sumner was fully in
possession of his locomotion, and extricated from
his desk, which was thrown over or broken from
its fastenings by the efforts of the Senator to ex
tricate himself. As soon as Senator Sunnier was
free from the desk be moved down the narnw pas
sage-way under the impetuous drive of his adver
sary, with his bands uplifted as though to ward
off the blows which were rained on his head with
as much quickness as was possible for any man to
use a cane on another whom be was intent on elms
rising. The scene occupied but a point of time—
only long enough to raise the arm and inflict, some
tcu or twelve blows in the most rapid succession
—the cane having been broken in several pieces.
All the while Senator Sumner was holding bis
bands above bis bead, and turning and tottering,
until lie sank gradually on the floor near Senator
Collamer’s desk, in a bleeding and apparently ex
hausted condition. I did not hear one word, or
murmur, or exclamation from either party until
the affair was over. Such was the suddenness of
the affair, the rapidity of its execution, the posi
tion iff persons in the chamber, and the relative po
sition of the chairs and desks, that, although sev
eral persons myself among them) quickly ad
vanced to the spot where the parties were engaged,
it was not in the power of those present to have
separated Col. Brooks, or to have rescued Senator
Sumner, so as to have prevented the former from
accomplishing his purpose. Such was the conclu
sion of mv judgment at the moment of the occur
rence, and such it is now.
.Tos. IE Niciioi-son.
Washington, May 13,1852.
By Mr. Allen. —What Senators were present at
the time ?
Sen itors Toombs, Pearce, and Crittenden were
seated in their respective chairs just preceeding
the affair. During its occurrence, and towards the
close of it, I observed Mr. Crittenden near the
parties, evidently striving to terminate the as
sault. I cannot now say 1 observed any other
Senators until the affair was over.
What members of the House of Representatives
were present?
The only member of the House of Representa
tives whom 1 recognised was the lion. Mr. Keitt,
of South Carolina, who approached the parties
about the same time-Mr. C-itienden did.
Jos. H. Nicholson.
(Jrn stimi projionifjeil to Cor. Brown, of Mi**. —
Please state to the committee the cause of the
assault committed by Mr. Brooks upon Mr. Sum
ner, as stated to you.
Did Mr. Brooks state to you the cause of bis
assault upon Mr. Sumner, and the language which
lie addressed to Mr. Sumner just before the as
sauli ? If so, please to tell the committee what
his language was, or what the cause of the as
sault.
Ou the dav of the occurrence, and shortly after,
L met Mr. Brooks in company with Mr. Keitt on
the avenue, nearly opposite the Union buildings;
after the usual .salutations, Mr. Keitt mentioned
.vliat hadoccurred, and was proceeding to give
.-mill' account of it, when Mr. Brooks interposed,
with this remark: “The town, I suppose will he full
of rumors in a few hours, and 1 desire my friends
to understand precisely what 1 have done, and why
I did it. Regarding the speech (of Mr. Sumner)
as an atrocious libel on South Carolina, and a
gross insult to mv absent relative, .Judge But
ler, 1 determined, when it was delivered to pun
ish him for if. To-day 1 approached him, after
tlie Senate adjourned, and said to him, Mr. Stun
ner, I have read yont speech carefully, and with
as much calmness as 1 could be expected to read
such a speech. You have libelled mv State and
slandered mv relation, who is aged and absent,
and 1 feel it to be m\ duly to punish you for it ;
and with that 1 struck him a blow across the head
with mv i ane. and repeated it until I was satisfied.
No one inter]n- d, and 1 desisted simply because
1 bad punished him to mv satisfaction.”
This is substantially and almost literally the
| statement of Mr. Brooks. The conversation then
turned on other points and phases of the affair.

ordered to be printed.

Latest Indian News.
Ocala, Fla., May 23.
Bv the arrival otjMr. A. N. Pacetty, Expressman
from Tampa, yesterday evening, we learn that a
train carrving provisions to the State \ olunteers,
on Peas Creek, was attacked by ten or fifteen In
dians, on Saturday last, within twelve miles of
Tampa, at a place known as Simmons’ Hammock.
The party had just halted at a branch to drink,
and as some of them were dismounting a little boy
who was riding a horse attached to one of the
wagons, saw an Indian behind a tree, and cried
out, “ Father there’s ail Indian!” pointing to the
s]i -it where he saw him. No sooner had the boy
spoken than the Indians tired, and he fell from the
bor>e, dead. The father caught up the dead body
: of liis son and placed it in a wagon, when another
volley was tired by the Indians, and he with anotli
; er man were killed.
At the first fire, a negro belonging to the train,
- started for an encampment where a detachment
1 fi in Captain Sparkman's Company were station
! c-d, onlv 2 miles distant. Two men only now re
mained, and one of them wounded in the hip.
They fired three times and tied. The Indians
i aware of the direction taken by the negro, also
- fled, leaving the teams, wagons, Ac., unhurt.
i The persons killed were Mr. Roach, Mr. Star
, - ]j n g and his son. Mr. Hinson was wounded in the
l hip] Mr. lhvtfield and the negro man escaped un
l 1 hurt.
The attack was made at 12 o clock at noon.
Privateering.
The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
“ foil,” under date of May 2sth says :
Tin' adhesion of the United States to the propo
sition of the European powers to abolish priva
teering is, of course, much desired by England
and France, as it deprives us of the chief and
cheap means which we possess tor inflicting injury
upon a commercial and maritime enemy and of
bringing him to terms of peace. The United
States in made an overture of this sort, and
bad previously engrafted the principle upon one
t ,f our earlv treaties.
The United States would now embrace an otter
to exempt all private property from capture, ei
ther bv public or private armed vessels. But the
proposition of the Paris Conference is that only
public ships of war should be entitled to plunder
private commerce. Os course this would giro a
vast advantage to England or France, in conflict
with us, and could not be for a moment entertain
ed by our Government.

War and its Effects.
Questions which have sprung up lately between
the United States and Great Britain have led men
to look upon war between the two nations as a
thing not at all impossible. Without at present
touching upon the question, whether or not the
present difficulties, if not arranged, would justify
a resort to arms on our part—without entering
into the calculation as to how far the commercial
interests of the two countries can influence the
Governments of either or both to make some little
sacrifices rather than confront all the evils of war
—we have been led to consider some of the facts
which would materially mitigate the calamity.
We would by no means be considered among
tbe number of those who, desire war either with
Great Britain or with any other country. To our
minds “war” is a word which conjures up too
much of human woe to be ever lightly spoken. If
war comes upon us in spite of the wisdom and
forbearance of our chosen rulers, we know too
well that thousands must die, and tens of thou
sands must suffer. We know that many wives
must become widows, and many children orphans, j
whenever the dread storm of war obscures our
now serene sky. We know well that war would 1
dry up a main part of our commerce, stifle mer- j
cautile enterprise, rob our fields and workshops of :
their laborers, and fill the citizens of our seaport
cities with apprehensions of speedy ruin. War is
a sad and serious business—too sad to be brought
on by the empty vanity of the ambitious —too
serious to be incurred except from stern necessity.
But while war is not, on the one hand to be
wished, it is not on the other a tliiug which we
should fear. Even as individual men should stand
at the outposts of their own just rights, their j
character and their honor, prepared to maintain j
them at all hazards and at any sacrifice, so should j
a nation be ready to lay down the implements of !
trade and husbandry to take up the musket and j
the sword. The sound of Sabbath bells is no
more welcome to the ear of the patriot in peace i
than the clangor of bustling squadrons or the roar !
of booming cannon m time of an honorable war.
If then war must come, we may console our- [
selves with the thought that it will not be an evil j
altogether without mitigation.
It is complained that a war with England would j
diminish or destroy our commerce. But if we are I
shut out from an European trade our own mami- 1
factures will be the more stimulated. Necessity j
will teach us to depend upon our own resources, j
Should European fleets cut oil' our commerce, we j
shall cease to incur millions of annual debt for
European merchandise. It is well known that the
balance between what we buy of Europe more
than we sell, is made up by the transfer of our
national, State, bank, railroad and other stocks to
European capitalists or to their agents here. This
drain from our capital, or this transfer of our
wealth into European hands, war would at once ef
fectually if not permanently check.
\\ e sell io Europe grain and other necessaries of
life we import in exchange, in addition to much
which may be considered as necessary, much
which, on the contrary, subserves mere luxury. 1
Millions now expended by the United States for 1
foreign gewgaws and useless trinkets, would be i
saved in the event of War—an amount almost ,
equal to the entire cost of the war itself. These ,
foreign appliances of luxury and ostentation have
been for years corrupting a large class of our peo- '
pie, rendering them effeminate in habits as well as
vain, and disposed to ape foreign absurdities. War
would put an end to this extravagant outlay for
foreign superfluities, and in part restore the Aiuer- !
icau people to their early simplicity. War would
teach our females to lay aside the gorgeous trap- 1
pings nf the European manufactories, and clothe
themselves in the products of the American loom
and workshops, while the young men who now
flaunt iu foreign broadcloths and silks would work t
(or fight } in honest homespun.
A war with any foreign power would cultivate a
wholesome national American and independent t
feeling among us. It would at once allay all our (
petty sectionalisms, and all the bitterness of party i
strife We should be and feel towards each other
like a nation of brothers once more, with a com
mon enemy to contend against—a common danger r
to avert—a common honor to sustain—a common 1
glory to win—-with no rivalry but that of who
should be best, bravest and noblest in the presence
of a common foe. j
War now would heighten the estimation in I j
which we are held by our kindred republics on (
this continent, as well as by nations that aspire to j
liberty elsewhere. The chivalrv, the bravery, and j
high-toned honor of the American people, which ]
Europeans are apparently beginning to forget, j j
would become a reality again. (
A war with a formidable antagonist would de
velop the courage, the self-devotion, the «oul of our j ■
people. Men never so well know their strength as
when called upon to use it in self-defence. There I
is danger that the too long duration of peace will j
leave us to feast upon revolutionary glory and our j j
past achievements, until we lose the virtues
and the courage by which those achievements were
accomplished and that glory was won.
Wars are inevitable lie who hopes for perpet
ual peace is the one who expects the sky forever j
clear. As human nature is, war, at longer or short- ’
er intervals, is a necessity. The only thing that j
can prevent the larger European powers from j
making aggressions on our rights for any length '
of time, is the existence or the imminent fear of 1
war with each other. Let them settle their “East
tern” question, and they will soon seek fora “West
ern” question a bone of contention. In view of ,
this necessity we are not doing justice to ourselves j ,
by remaining unprepared hut it is the misfortune |
of our form of government never to be prepared .
until danger begin-- to thicken around ns. A war
would awaken us to a due sense of this ttnnvoida- j .
hie necessity.
From the J/.0-o/t Telegraph, Mityi"!,

We lind the following in the Macon Jour,ml <f- <
J/<-<(-/( //, of last Wednesday. The proposition
to abandon all the alleged principles of Know
\othmgisni and rally upon a mere personal issue,
is so siguitiea lit that it deserves a passing notice :
Hon 11k Snot l.r> nr. ID s. Most fully and hearti
ly do we subscribe to the following sentiment of
the Alabama Journal. As Millard Fillmore !
showed himself every inch the President of the 1
whole profile, and not the tool of party or faction. 1
let him be run for re-election as the candidate <jt'
the people in the pending contest :
“Let him be run as Millard Fillmore,” says the
Journal, “and on the principles declared in prac- !
tire in his administration, testing his views and 1
principles by the plain and enduring record of his
art-i, not bv vague generalities on paper.
“Mr. Fillmore running on Ids own merits and on .
his own principles, as tested by his Administra
tion, will concentrate all the elements of the Op
position, and his success is certain.”
This is a scheme of politicians reduced to the
last straits of desperation. To “concentrate all
the elements of the Opposition,” is, as a matter of ■
course, to unite adherents of every factious ism j
which disturbs the peace and impairs the dignity j
of the country. If this were practicable, it is evi
dent the result would not establish or confirm a
single principle, and it is equally certain that every |
one of these “conflicting elements of the opposi- |
tion” must he at dagger’s point so soon as Mr.
Fillmore developed the policy of his administration
If that policy should be fair and constitutional, its
only effective support must come from tlie Demo- ;
cratic party —certainly from northern Know Noth
ingism, which voted almost unanimously for Speak
er Hanks, it could have nothing to hope for. If, on
the other hand, it should carry out the Philadelphia
Platform and demand a re-enactment of the Mis
souri restriction, where will the southern “element
of opposition” be? If the country were in a state of
, profound repose—important questions all settled— i
no substantial principle at issue we could then af
ford to go into a mere personal canvass. But a mo
mentous issue upon Constitutional principles is be
fore us, and we cannot escape it.
To fail now in the successful assertion of the i
| Constitutional equality of the southern States, is
to fail for all time and abandon all hope of equity
and peace in the confederacy. One inch of ground
abandoned to unconstitutional fanaticism loses ns
| the whole field. Is it possible, therefore, a*
, such a time, to imagine a more suicidal proposi- i
tion than the foregoing? Can a mere factious op
. position to the Democratic party go further, than j
g that, at such a time, when the North is preparing
to assert a sectional superiority at the ballot box, 1
southern men should propose substantially to
waive principle, and go in for a third candidate
upon his mere personal merits! It southern
Know Nothings are really weary and disgusted
with their organization —if they see and are ready
e to confess that Know Nothiugism asserts no prin
ciple worth contending for—if Esau-like they are
)- willing to abandon their platform and position for
i- something less than even a mess of pottage, why
d not rally with Democrats for the settlement of a
d sectional controversy—for the assertion of a para
v mount constitutional principle, vital to our repose
if and security—rather than with factious odds and
d ends, at war upon every point of political doc
d trine, and united only under a tlag of truce for the
ie mere purpose of elevating Mr. Fillmore to the
Presidency ?
Somebody has said, and a great many people
put faith in the saying, that, “We ought always
I to believe less than we are told.” This may be a
safe maxim for general use, but when a woman
j entrusts you, in confidence of course, with her
age, you may always believe a great deal more
than you are told.

Washington, May 20. —The President, in his
message yesterday to the Senate on Central Amer
ican affairs, enclosed a letter front Mr. Marcv to
Mr. Dallas, dated the 21th instant, which reviews
Great Britain’s pretensions, and says that the Pres
ident, rather than submit to its obligations with
out any reciprocal benefits, would deem it his duty
to propose to Congress the amendment of the
Treaty. lie was willing, however, to refer all
1 questions embracing the rightful limits of Belize,
the Bay Islands and Mosquito territory, to the de
; cision of eminent men of science in Europe and
America, and instructs Mr. Dallas to ascertain
whether the differences can be promptly termina
ted by direct negotiations, and if not, to discuss
; the conditions of arbitration ; the points of differ
i ence, which by tliis method seem requisite and ap
plicable, being assumed; the other points of dif
ference would afterwards yield to discussion. The
| conferences between Mr. Dallas and Lord Claren
don have, it is stated, been conducted in a spirit of
| cordiality and frankness.
Sr. Loris, May o.—Thu corres pendent of the

dearly what the// mean or understand by “squatter

beginning,” and distinctly understand what is the
“subject before the house.”

FURTHER TESTIMONY.
EXTRACT from a letter received from a gen
tleman in Mobile: “Whilst requesting von
to forward me another package of BLISS’ DYS
PEPTIC REMEDY, (I enclose payment for both
packages,) allow me to thank you most sincerely
| for the cliiefest among the many kindnesses and
attentions for which I am your debtor. I must
confess to you, that notwithstanding your enderse
| ment of it, 1 was loath to believe that your medi
cine was any better than the numerous specitics
and ‘certain cures’ which 1 had before tried upon
the strength of newspaper representations, and
which proved to be worse than useless, stimulating
the stomach for awhile, but to leave it in a worse
condition than they found it. The ‘ Remedv’ has
! in many cases worked like a charm, and the direc
tions accompanying it, I consider,'are worth more
to the invalid from Dyspepsia, than all the rules
for health that were ever printed. It was with no
' little difficulty, owing to the inertia which for vears
! had paralyzed my energies, that 1 entered upon
the treatment; but before the first week, what I
: commenced with so much effort, I may say reluc
' tance, became as necessary enjoyment to me. In
’ short, notwithstanding my skepticism, lam now
1 prepared hilly to endorse all you have written me
1 i regarding Bliss’ Dyspeptic Remedy, and shall not
[ fail to do that recompense which' I know to be
most acceptable to you, of placing others in the
1 wav of being relieved, as I have been.”

The Sabbath Evening Bells.
How sweetly sounds the evening bells,
And memory with her magic spells,
Is waken’d by the gentle flow
Os music, murmuring soft and low.
They seem to say, in pleading tone,
Come worship at the Eternal Throne ;
Oh ! can you.bid your God depart,
Who tells you now to give your heart ?
The bells have ceased but round me falls—
In echoes faintly angel-calls;
The past with all its dreams arise,
Its hopes and joys, its tears and sighs.
Methinks l hear the vesper bell,
And, oh! I feel once more the spell
That thrilled my soul with love and fear.
When ‘Are Maria’ sounded clear.
The laugh was hushed, the pious prayer
Was wafted through the silent air ;
Those sunny days of girlhood’s glee
Were passed, alas ! unheedingly.
My heart was then a trusting one,
Its dial had not lost the sun
That told its bright and happy hours;
No serpent knew my Eden-flowers.
Once more I hear a distant bell,
That strikes with slow and measured knell;
How mournful is the solemn tone
That calls “ the soul back to its own.”
Pass on, relentless world ; thy joy and woe,
With all thy pride, alike must go;
The hopes that seem so bright to-day,
Before to-morrow will decay.
1 feel that I must go—l grieve
No more a world of sin to leave;
For, oh! beyond the shrouded tomb
There is a spring that knows no gloom.
Augusta. Leila.
[communicated.]
To Leila.
Start not; nor deem my senses fled :
Although I write once* more,^
Regardless of the words you said,
When last you wrote before.
For there is no alternate left,
Except to break the chain,
By which you closely bound me down;
To curing aches and pain.
I cannot chide you as unkind,
Or even think you so;
But why my sphere you thus confined,
I should be pleased to know?
And are you very sure 'tis kind,
To let me “chatand dance!”
That your poor heart may once more find.
In hope another chance !
And do you feel that you could grace,
A house with splendors fraught ?
And is it with “tinsel and lace,”
A soul can thus be bought.
Oh, no ! 1 am not thus deceived,
For through that cloak of frowns,
1 see a heart that has been grieved ;
But not with careless wounds.
Ai.ikl.
Religion—Wliat I* It t
BY BISHOI* IIEBBEIi.
Is it to go to church to-day,
To look devout and seem to pray,
And ere to-morrow’s sun goes down,
Be lea ling slander through the town v
Does very sanctimonious face
Denote the certain reign of grace?
Does not a phiz that scowls at sin,
Oft veil hypocrisy within?
Is it to make our daily walk,
And of our own good deeds to talk,
Yet olten practice secret crime,
And thus misspend our precious time?
Is it for sect or creed to fight,
To call our zeal the rule of right,
When what we wish is at the best,
To see our church excel the rest ?
Is it to wear the Christian’s dress,
And love to all mankind profess.
And treat with scorn the humble poor,
And bar against them every door?
Oh, no! religion means not this.
Its fruit more sweet and fairer i:—
Its precepts this : to others do
As you would have them do to you.
It grieves to hear an ill report
And scorns with human woes to sport—
Os other’s deeds it speaks no ill,
But tells of good or keeps it still.
And does religion this impart,
Then may its influence till our heart,
Oh! haste that blissful joyful day,
When all the earth may own its >way.
The Printer’s Ten Commandments.—l. Thou
shaft love the printer —for he is the standard of
thy country.
2. Thou shall subscribe to his paper -for he
laboreth much to obtain news, of which ve may
not remain ignorant.

give ye the paper.

office rules deranging the papers.
6. Thou shall not touch anything that will give
the printer trouble that he may not hold thee
guilty.

IT IS an erroneous idea that disease cannot be
. cured except by taking large quantities of med
icines into the stomach, in a great many cases of
which much injur;/ is done, although the disease in
point be actual};/ ■ ure,/. The coats of the stomach,
by continued use of nauseating mixtures, frequent
ly become so much disordered that the die/estict
/unction is serious!;/ injured -the result of which
is dyspepsia, nervousness, cholics, alternate diar
rhoea and costiveness, flatulence, nightmare, etc.,
etc. Would it not, therefore, be very desirable to
possess a remedy, which being applied e.dernuUy
would excite the absorbents to increased action,
and thus carry oft’ through this medium, the dele
terious principle which is the direct ca us. of the
disease? Surely every thinking man will admit
that this would not only be the most pleasant, but
by far the safest means to effect the desired end.
The almost superhuman cures performed by the
Arabian physicians in the days of old, were mainly
effected by this course of treatment, and the ingre
dients of which If. G. FARRELL’S CELEBRATED
ARABIAN LINIMENT is composed, are extracted
from rare plants peculiar to Arabia. This great
Liniment (which is now to be had of most respec
table druggists and merchants in every town in the
United States) is daily effecting cures'which seem
ed beyond the power of medicine to control—con
sumption, bronchitis and liver complaints, in their
first stages, nervous affections, indigestion, en
largement of the spleen, scrofulous tumors, goitre,
etc., etc., are frequently cured, and always relieved
by its use. It is unsurpassed as an anodyne—re
lieving severe pains in a few minutes after its ap
plication, it soothes the irritated nerves, and pro
duces that delightful tranquility so grateful to the
nervous invalid. Sprains, bruises, wounds, burns,
sore throat, chilblains, rheumatism, sun pain, etc.,
etc., are speedily cured by it, and for nearly all ail
ments in horses or cattle, requiring an external
application, it is an effectual remedy.
Lookout for Vounhif Us !
The public are cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which lias lately made its appearance, called
W. ]!. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having
the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good
faith, without the know edge that a counterfeit ex- I
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error
when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
effects.
