Cunbury, Vt U Una Ayer's Sarsaparilla A compound remedy, designed to be the mobt effectual AUtrativ that .can be made. It ii concentrated extract of 'Para Eartaparilln, o combined with other substance .of still greater alterative power as to afford an effec tive antidote for the disenscs KnrsnpBrilln i reputed to cure. It is believed that such remedy is wanted by those who suffer from Strumous complaint, and that one which will accomplish their euro must prove of immense ervice to this large class of our afflicted fellow 'citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found of the following complaints: Sckofi-ia aji 8cnnrcr.net Complaints, F.1UTTIOM.1 AM) EkHTIVH DISEASES, UtXBRt, PlMPLBS, IiLOTCIIRt, Tt'MOUS, SALT HuCVM, Scald Ui:xn, Stthilis axo SrritiLiTio Af fections, Mkiicukial Disgask, Duot'sr, Nuu iuloia oit Tic Doulouiihi'x, Dbiiimtt, Drt FErst a am) IsniorHTioN, EttYsiritr.At, Roan or St. Anthony's I'iue, and indeed the whola class of compliant arising from Ini'UUiTV or the lli.oon. This compound will be found a great pro. motcr of health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul humors whieh fester in the blood at that season of the year, liy the time ly expulsion of them many rnnkling disorder nro nipped in the bud. "Multitudes can, by tho aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which tho system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through tho natural channels of tho body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob structed and sluggish in the veins ; clennie it whenever it is foul, and your feeling will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for clcansin; tho blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but with this fiabulum of lifj disordered, there can be no asting health. Sooner or later something must go wron;;, and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the rcputution of accomplishing these ends. Hut tho world ha been cgrcgiuly deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue tlwit is claimed for it, but more because many preparations, pretending to he concentrated extracts of it, contain hut little of the virtuo of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else.- During huo years tho publie hare been mis led by large buttles, pretending to give a quart of Kxtract of Sarsnpnrilla for one dollar. Most of these haves been fraud upou the sick, for they not -only cor.lnin little, if any, Sarsapa rilla, but often no curative properties whatev er. Hence, bitter and painful .disappointment has followed tho use of the various extracts of Sarsnparilla which flood the market, until tho noma itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsnparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy a.t ahull rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And We think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irrcsistiblo by tho ordinary run of the discuses it is intend ed to cure. In order to sccuro their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should be judiciously taken according to directions oa the bottle. rnrt'AREK at DR. I. C. A YE It & CO. LOWKM,. MASS.

There arc feeble inch high snplings, There are cedars on the hills ; God, who counts by souls not stations, Loves aud prospers you and me, For to him all vain distinctions Arc as pebbles ia the sea. Toiling hands alone are builders Of a nation's wealth or fame; Titled laziness is pensioned, Fed ami fattened on the same, By the sweat of ether foreheads, Living only to rejoice, While the poor u;ac's outraged freedom Vuinly lifted up his voice. Truth and justice are eternal, . Born witli lovicess and light ; Secret wrongs shall never prosper. While there is a sunny right ; God, whose voice is singing Boundless love to you and me, Sinks oppressions wilh its titles, As the pebbles iu' the sea. HiraT. GEMill lL JOH V. GE IKY. John W. Geary was born in Westmore land county, Pu., and although now only forty-six years of ago, bus already won a lusting fame by his adherence to the cause of right and iiuty, in the different parts of theeountry in which ho has been placed, in civil, military, judicial and executive posi tions. Having lost his father v-ory early in life, he was thrown tipou hia own resources, and not only supported himself, but became the only stay of his widowed mother, by teach ing a viilago school j during which time he also, by persevering industry and coalmen liable trxmomy, acquired means to procure a, classical education, which he completed at Jefferson College, Canousburg. Pa., creating life long friends among professors and chissmutcs, by the early exhibition of those same stetling qualities that have since endeared htm to so many others in social aud in public life. Having finished his collcttiato education I he assumed the profession of a civil engi neer, in mo practice oi wiiica tie went to Kentucky, partly in the employ of the Commonwealth, and partly iu Unit of the Ureeu Hiver Kuilroed .Company; and whs engaged :u tlie survey ot severul very ltn poritim waacries oi tne public improve incuts ot taut slate. Alter aa experience with the Engineer Corps, in many of the States, li successfully tilled nil tho various ttllices from a clerkship to the supcrinten dcucy of the Allegheny Portage Hailroad, and during several years discharged tho duties of Lis responsible positions with complete satisfaction- At a very early date, actuated by his mathematical n'niiities, he exhibited a fond ness for military tactics, aud labored stren uously by tho outlay of time ncd menus to perfect our volunteer system. From a uri- ! vate iu the. ranks, ho rose rapidly through ail tlie grades to mat ot JSngadiei-Ucneral, to which he was elected by tho brigade .comprising Cambria and Somerset coun ties. When the war with Mexico was declared, he was among the liisl who responded to ihc call fur volunteers, aud wag accepted, elocg with the "American Highlanders," ol Cambria county, which splendid compa ny ho then commanded. They were incor porated in the Secoud Pennsylvania. Itegi mcnt, of which, upon it organization, he was almost unanimously elected Lieutenant-Colonel. His regiment joined the army of Geueral Scott at Vera Cruz, aud served ia tho ad vance under tho command, and on tho line of operations, of that great chieftain through his biilliunt campaign in Mexico. Ueurj was attached to Uen. Quitman's division, and distinguished himself in the battles of "La Hoya," "Chapultepec," "Uatitii do Bo Ion," and tLa "City f Mexico." Upon arriving at the capital, his colonel having died, be was elected colonel by a vote of more than two-thirds uf the command. This comp'.imcot was not the result of mere friendship or political preference. It was tho reward for his own good conduct from the hands of the gallant soldiers the spon taneous and grateful gift of associates in arms tho brave men who had ftnutt by his sido, shared his privations, sutferincs (mil dangers, and who witnessed and knew best UO.W to appreciatchis. merits, Tho v.ur Jiaving closed, Col. Geary re turned with tho Minueut cf hia command to his native State, aud tho people of Pitts burgh w ill long remember the etithusitstic wulcomo he received upon his arrival among them. Hon. William Wii kins, iu a public speech, complimented tbo services .(U the gullant, weather-beaten aud war-worn troops, and the excitement of the universal jubilee ran to the highest pitch. On the 82Tof February, 1819, iu return for hit services in Mexico, President Polk appointed Col. Geary . postmaster at fcaji Francisco, whicb, in oonsequuuce of the then recent dUcovery of gold iu California, had become port ef ounsiderablu importance. He was also empowered to creiitc post-offices, appoint postmasters, establish tuaiL routes, and make contracts for carrying the mails throughout California. .He was thus placed in the way of his subsequent tad almost uoparallulud success and popularity among the heterogeneous population of tbo Eureka Stato. Oa the 1st of August, 1319, the municipal lection of Bart Frncisro took place, aud '.ibouh tea fliiltrcnt taken were trained for tho various minor offices, his hnme ap peared nt tho head of them nil, and he re ceived cvqry vote cast that day for tho office of Firtt Alcalde, it being nt tRt time the most important, responsible and difficult ollico i.n tho State of CuliforflLa. It required administrative nnd executive abilities of the rarest quality. Tho population numbered 20,000, almost entirely adult males, drawn together from every section of tlie world, and possessed of every imaginable variety of character. To effect anything Uke a proper organi sation of the city, .pud establish an ordinary police force, from the .chaotic material and rebellious spirits that then existed, was of itself an herculean task. But added to this tbo duties of Alculdu embraced tho& ,cf every one of tho customary offices of a city and county jurisdiction. Ho was a Mayor, Sheriff, Marshal, Probate Recorder, Register ol Deeds, and even Notary Public and Cor oner. He daily held an ordinary policy or mayor's court; an alcalde's court for the minor cases and general executive matters of the city; a court of first instance with universal, civil and criminal jurisdiction ; and a court of admiruty for maritime cases. In a word, he was the curutor of the public, doing everything that was to be done, even to the holding cf inquests and taking ac knowledgment of deeds. And so well did he perform all these varied, arduous, compli cated and difficult duties, that at the expi ration of his first term, ho wns re elected by an almost unanimous vote, the city in tho meantime, having more than doubled its population. During the time of holding the office of Alcalde, Col. Gcory tiicd, as Judge, over twenty-five hundred civil and criminal cases, and front .his decision not over a dozen appeals were made, and not ono decision was over reversed. Under the old Mexican laws, Alcaldes had power to grant away the public lands at twelve dol'ars for "fifty rain lots" (20 yards square.) All American Alcaldes, previous to Geary's time, had .availed themselves of this privilege, and disposed of aa immense amount of valuable property at these mere nominal rates. A resolution, after his elec tion, was debated by the Ayunlaimiento Council) directing the Alcalde to make such grants at the legal rates. General Gea ry assured them that, rather than make such grants he would relinquish his office, because the sudden and. unexpected rise of .the value uf tho lands would enable tho Alcalde, if ho wero so disposed, to enrich himself end friends to tho public detriment. At tho rates named tho lands belonging to ths city wero worth only $35,000. A .small portion of these lands were then sold at public auction, nnd brought half a million of dollars I This sum was placed in the city treasury. Tho tracts remaining unsold were proportionally worth several million of dollars 1 Thus waB this immense sum saved to the city. On May 1st, 1S!50, tho first city .charier was adopted, nnd Colonel Geary was elected Mayor under its provisions by a large and flattering vote. Tho manner j:i which ho discharged the duties of. this position can best bo understood from his inaugural ad dress to the city councils, ntid numerous subsequent messages, all of which are on file, aud have bcc: published, as well n from the fact, that at the expiration of his term of office a petition, numerously signed liy the niOKt prominent citizens, without distinction to party, was presented, request ing him to be a candidate for re election, which ho declined. Tho Legislature, however, hnvirg created a "Hoard of Commissioner of the funded debt of Snn Francisco,'' Col. Genry was ap pointed a member, nud upon the organiza tion of thut body, was elected its I'tsident. Here, too, by bis financial knowiedgo and judicious councils and advice, ho rendered valuable service to the city. Besides all this, during his residence, in San Francisco, ho was Chairmiin of tho Hoard of Health, had assisted iu the orgauizatioa cf JIasonio and Odd Fellows Lodges, and was in fact instrumental in establishing comfortable hospitals fur the sick, and was connected with every benevolent and charitable insti tution of the plnac. He signalized himself by courago and intrepidity in arresting the progress of tho great fires, itl by tho promptness with which he answered tlie cull of the authorities of that city, rendered efficient aid in suppressing tho squatter riots at Sacramento. In the year 1849, when Col. ..Geary was a resident of California, a Convention was formed to frame a State Constitution, and tome of our reudi rs still remember the in tense Mixiety and excitement which prevail ed throughout the country regarding the result of its proceedings. The pro-slavery democrats of that t'me wero determined that California should only be admitted into the Uuion as a Blavo fitate, tr.d for the sole purpose ef exerting their influence in that behalf, many removed from tho Southern States to that distant region. Tho plan was well conceived, nnd iulerded at all hazards fo be accomplished, toyisert the slavery clause into the ConstitutioiVnnd forward it with hot haste to Wusliingtof(ir adoption without presenting it to tlie prtole for rati fication. Col. Geary was thornjhly ac uuainted with the Drouramni. ami iVsoIved that the proposed measures should iVt be efi'ectfd. He accordingly .took strong groivds against them, una used all his iniluen which was then equal, at least, to that any man in tlie territory, first to have omitt ed -the clause legalizing slavery, and second ly to prevent tlio Constitution, when adopt ed by the Convention, from ba:ng j.-nt to Congress until after it should be submitted to a vote of the people and hud received their approval. T:.iimn could have labored moro earnestly and successfully than he did to effect these two objects, bu'h of ,iiu li, after a most ten ible' struggle, wero accom plished, and California was received, free from the stain of slavery, iuto Use Union of States. It is not too much to ae.y that had it not been for the active part taktvr. by Col. Geary against the pro shivery party then in California, this resulu might not havu been accomplished. Private affairs of great importance re quiring his presence in Pennsylvania, Col onel Geary laft S.un Freneiscn in February, 1833, and repaired to his farm in VYei.Uuore land county, where he remained in. til again called into active public life, through his appointment, by President Pierce, us iUoi ernor of Kama 1'tiriU'ry, wltif.li appoint-nit-nt, without the usual refumice to a com mit lee, was cuclimu'tl by a unanimous vote of the Senate. ' He received notico of this appointment ij July, 1858, and having delayed only long aough ta receive hia instructions and wake tbo nouissary arrangements, he pro ceeded to Kansas, reaching Fort I.eavu worth on the 9th of September following. No pen can adequately describe the terri ble condition of the territory at the time of bia arrival. The scenes be had witnessed in California were being re enacted, with horrors greatly intensified. Civil wur.wns rngir.g with "more than lieivl;-!) ferocity; and till en areo'tiU ot 'rerv. Men were) flocking from nil parts of the South, of des perate chnrru ter, with passion intlaine.il to tho highest pitch, and with tho express and avowed' purpose of making Kann a tlnre Mate, by nny niton, however julr or find! And these iigiiin were resisted by actual act tiers und new comers from tho tree Mtat.es, equally ns determined, though oi so brutal and ferocious. The iieicest passions ot human nature, with all their dreadful conse quences, were visible on every hand. Tho smoke of burning duildings "blackened ihu air; fields of grain were laid waste and tl- .plate; women nnd children were driven tarvog nnd finked from thoir homes to pens li oo the desolate prairies; and the dead bodies of ipurdcrcd men were strewn along tho wayside. Chaos reiuned ui)rcme pandemonium had poured forth its demons and crime, in nil its most hidcouj forms, ran rampant through tho lund. buch was the gloomv prospect that pre sented itself to the new Governor. A man of less nerve would have looked upou it with amazement, nnd with dismay fled from the scene, as .did two of his prcdect ssorv, nud many others. But Gov. Geary was not the man to be easily intimidated. He had passed already through many a llcry ordeal. He took in at n glance the entire situation. From this dismal chaos ; from this hell of discord ; from all this terrific and confused mass of conflicting pactions, he was expect ed to produce order, peace r.nd harmony. Ho faltered not, however, but buckled on his armor, and in good earnest applied him self to tlie difficult tank. Am! so earnestly aud effectually did ho devote himself to the work, that us early as September 30lh, he was enabled truthfully fo write to tlio Sec retary of State, saying: "J'tarn rww reiyntin Kuiisut. Confidence it trwktally leiny rctwi. Setter arc returning t-J their cUiim. Citizen are returning their ordinary pursuits, and a (jcnetral gladncsn crtades the community" Ho , had arrested criminals, driven brigands from the roads, disarmed anddis'.iandvd invading armies, and insured protection to all peace able citizens ! But this state of tranquility, V.i:'S, effected, was precisely the reverse of what the pro slavery party in Kansas and the administra tion at Washington desired. Governor Geary's course, instead of receiving their approval, met their decided condi-mufdion. It was intended that tho agitation and ex citement should .continue until the Freo State men were either annihilated or driet-n 'from th territory, anil the pro-slavery party could Dave every Hung in their own hands. Hence the-Governor's reports to Washington were coldly received, and if answered at all, as.coldly answered. There was no mistak ing the tenor and spirit of their communi cations. Iu the .meitutime the leading ruf fians w.erc becoming more and more embold ened by tho encouragement they reccivn. from tlio seat of the general government. At tho Lecomptcn Postofficv, the Governor's letters and papers, both private and official, ' were opened hihI their contents scrutinized. Tire few troops that had been left to guard his person und official documents, weru. gradually removed by order Jeff, pay; then Secretory of War. Pro-Slavery nip-' derers whom he bad caused t: be hrr'.-stcJ were liberated by order of Chief Ju-tic' Lccompte, and public Hirelings were licit' ill p hit'h he wss denounced usn Abolition ist fur refusing to give. his i iiution anil a ,: sistnnce to the i!e plots to force t lie insti ) tution of shivery upon an unwilling people One villain, actuated and aided by til'ujf less bold, wftj Ciled in un ut'.e;;ipt to assas sinatc him on his departure from the Legis lative Hall aud almost iu sight of the mem bers there assembled. To crown nil, the pro shivery nu n of all parties, the gieat inajoiily, however, beinp old lino Whigs, mostly from the South, tur . together in convention nt Lerojnjitoti, mm organized tho "National Democratic Party.' There waa much discussion in regard to the adoption of this, mime, this leading men o-'' the Convention declaring they could e. swallow- the word "JJifweat," having beet life-long "Whigs." Hut thin objection wa overruled, by tbj argument that the nam would not cliuuge positions, while it woult assure them tho support of ''the Washingtoi Democracy." The. pint form of the Yfin Democratic Party" thus adopted, is clearlj expressed in thu following unanimous re. olntion of its Legislature: "Wih;hu.'.s, We believe that on the sut cess of our party depends the perpetuity i the Union; therefore, licit rcioieeJ, By the House of 1'eprese.i tutives, the Council concurring therein, the it is the duty of the pro-slavery party, th Union loving men f Kunsiu Territory, I know but one issue, Si.ivkkv, and that un party making or attempting to make Br other, i, AUD t HOI i.i) in; UK i.d, .s AX AU OF AllOMTION ANII HIKl NJo S." Iii carrying out this doctrine, till the Fr Stutc democrats were excluded from mei: bership with the "National Democrat' Party,' not one of them being received iut fellowship or allowed to take part iu it proceeding's. This platform was indorse' by the democrats ut Washington at th. time, aud was subsequently udopted au carried out by the President j the fu tneasuro of perfection. So for as he he the power ho ostracised all Free tltate der ocrats, no matter how long or how laithltr IV they had served the partv. kThe "National Democratic Party" belt' thu organised, the next movement was ' cool Ut tiovcrnor Geary to Its policy. A cori ugly, the chnirui.au of the t'eatr Qtimittve called upou the Governor, wj Uie assurance that it he would connect lii:j self with the party he should I ouo of r two United State tieautors soon to chosen. Tlie cluiirman urged the mat with such dutirmiiieil pertinacity that G ernor tlaary ordered him out of his otli anil declared that if he should tlaru Bg; r.f roach hijii with so vile an i'ivt he wot. , toss him through the window. -' Boon after these proceedings a Consti tution, known as the "Lecomptoii Const! tion," was received in Kansas by the " tionul Democratic Party," direct fn Washington, where it had been carefit prepared ; mid agreeably to the directie accompanying it, an attempt was made have it adopted by an improvised . couv tion and returned to Wushinpton in shortest possible time, regardless of known wishes of the people. Au act the Legislature In this effect was iiiiiuedi ly passed, which was vetoed by Oover Geary, for several reasons, the most pn inent pf which wrro, that no provision , made for submitting the Constitutin to people for ratification, and that he ,wa tatitttl that large msjority ol' th- ' residents of the terriioiy wtie ..-ti,li and strongly oppnwtl to tint mstil-iiio slavery, which the Coiistiiulinu w it ded to force upou tin in.
