to combined with other lubstance of still
greater alterative power as to afford an effec
tive nntidoto for tho diseases Sarsnpnrillti is
reputed to cure. It i.i believed that auvli a
remedy is wanted by those who auffer from
Struinoua complaints, and that one which will
necomplinli their cure must prove of immense
service to this large clnas of our nlllictrd fellow,

do it has been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to bu found of the following

motor of health, when tuken in the xpring, to
expel the foul humors which fetter in tho
blood at that scaiuii of th year. Uy the time
ly expulsion of them many rankling" disorders
are nipped in Iha bud. 'Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, ap:ue themselves from
the cndiirnnej of fuul vniptions and uloernus
sores, through which ths arsteni will strive to
rid itself of cnrruptloiis, i( not insisted to do
this through the nuturnl ih.inneU of the body

life is disordered or overthrown.

reputation of aeeiinipliOiiii these cnd. Hut
the world Inn been ej;regiously deceived liy
preparations of it, partly because the ch-iijj
uloue hits nut ull the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to bu concentrated' extract of it,
contain hut little nf tho viittto of Suniiiparilhi,
or any thinp; i-Ue.
During late years the public; havo been mis
led by large bottles, pretending tj give a iiunvt
of Extinct of Sarsaparilla f.iroue dollar. Moat
of these' have been frauds upon tho sick, for
they not only contain little, if tiny, Knrsnpa

bus followed tho use of the various extract of
Sursaparill.t which Hood tin market, until tho
name itsc'.f is justly despised, mi I has become
synonymous with imposition mid client. Still
we call this compound Sarsapnrilhi, and intend
to supply audi a remedy as ahull rescue the
name fiom the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And vu think wo ha'vu ground for
believing it has virtue which nre iireili'Lila
by tho ordinary run of the diseases it ii intend

TIUH VETO.
Uarely bus a more dignified, cogent, con
clusive argument been addressed to cither
House of Congress than Mr. TruuibuH re
view of tho l'r Bilk-tit's Message vetoing
the Freedmen'a Bureau bill. The Chronicle
gives the following summary of its proposi
tions :
I. That the bill itself was inspired by tho
annual message of the President ot the
United Slutes, delivered to Congress at the
commencement of the present session. That
message, it will bo remembered, expressed a
desire upon the putt of the President to se
cure nil men in their rights, uud to protect
the frcedmcu in all the privileges guaranteed
to them under tho Emancipation Proclama
tion; and, in the judgment of Mr. Trumbull
nnd thirty-six Sainton uto voted tcith him fur
it on the 'iatk of January, the provisions of
this bill were emiueully calculated to ac
complish these objects.
II. That it was not, ns the President avers,
an original measure, but simply an amend
ment to the bill under which the Kreedmcn's
Bureau it now nctiug, and which hud tbe
sanction ol the Executive himself, as well as
tho approval of the grout majority of the
luyul people of the country. As an amend
ment, it removes m iny of the objectionable
features of the llitreau us now organized,
simplifying its rnuiilicutious and milking it
more elliciunt.
HI. That it was not intended as a perma
nent part nf the administrative policy of the
(joverntuent one of its sections expressly
stating, ou the contrary, thut it shall remuin
in f.irce "until otherwise provided by law,"
just us all other luws of Congress are sup
posed to do. The wonder is thut the Pres
ide nt ever thought ol making such un objec
tion to it as this. Su such idea ever enter
ed the mind (f tiny prison who supported
and voted for it.
IV. That, instead of being an cxtraviiouut
I und unnecessary expense to the Government,
' it has indirectly saved us millions of dollars
which would otherwise have been wasted,
j V. That the Bureau did not contemplate
I fecdin, clotliing ami educating t lie refugees
' and Irccdmen, but was rut her intended to
assist them in doing till these things for
I themselves.
i VI. That, instead of it being designed ex
j clusively for negroes, more Whites have, in
some sections and in many instances, been
J benetited by it than Blacks, and that tho
proportion of Whites Mill needing its ussist-
unco is equal to that ot tho negioca.
j VII. That there was an immediate necessi
ty for the passage of t lie bill, because the
j original net creating tho Bureau expires by
j limitation in the month of May, 1SUU.
1 Vlll. That, instead of establishing mtli
j tu r j jurisdiction over all parts of the I'uited
.Mutes continuing refugees am! trceilmcn, it
simply extends it over the ullicers nud em
ployes of (lie bureau. And that in accord
ance with the recommendation officii, (iraut
I in his report to the President nt his tour
through the South, transmitted to the Sen
'ate wilh u message a few weeks ugo, it
! makes the Bureau a part of the War Jlcpui t
meiit ol the Government.
IX. That tho bill did uot contemplate the
appoiutmeut of agents und other otlicer in
every couuty or parish, ixcept the President
should, in his judgment, demi such apjmint-
niei J n es.J.irv .
j X. That what the president tcrma ihcnu
, con-lit. I'i-mul features ot the bill, r.' rrmg
i arb.i.'irj p.iwrrs imrni the cf'iccrs ot
ilm
Bureau, go no further than the Picsident
himself und tho ollicera of tho army neiing
under him have already gone; and thut it is
competeut for Congieaa to provide all rules
and regulations for the government of the
army and navy, lo which nil are subject,
from the Conimander-in Chief to the hum
blest soldier or sailor.
XI. That, if the lit bellinn is in nil reaped? !
at nn end, tho President is still exeft-isinir I
the war power, such as the suspension of the
writ of habeas corpus, contrary to the Con
stitution, which expressly states that thia
shall only be suspended in time of invasion
or rebellion; and, as we have no iuvnsion,
nii'i toe writ is not in operation in a portion
