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.

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

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
