What is more fearful than a breaking down of the ner vous system? To be excitable or nervous in a small de gree is most tie4tressing, for where can a remedy be found , There is one:—drink but little wine, beer, cr spirits, or far better. none; take no coffee,—wesk tea being prefera ble; get all the froeb !air you can ; take three or four Pills every night eat plenty of solids, avoiding the use of slops; and if these golden ruins are followed, you will be happy in Jain,' and strong in body, and forget you have any nerves. MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS. if there, 114 one thing more than another for which these Pill., are so famous, it ie their purifying properties, es pecially their power of elensing the blood from all int. puritie,, and removing dangerous and suspended secre tione. Universally adopted as the one grand remedy for female complaints, they never fail, never weaken the .vstetn, and always brings about what is required. SICK HEADACHES AND WANT OF APPETITE. These feelings which so sadden nn, most frequently artse from annoyances or tronble, from obstructed preapi ration, or from eating and drinking what is unfit for us, thus disordering the liver and stomach. nes. organs must be regulated if you wish to be well. The Pills, if takea according to the printed instructions, will quickly restore a healthy action to both liverand stomach, whence as a natural conselence, a good appetite and a dear head. In the East and West Indies scarcely any other inediclue is ever used for these diserdens. HOW TO BE STRONG. Nicer let the bowels he confined or unduly acted upon. It may appear singular that Holloway's Pills should be recommended for a nin upon the bowels, many persons supposing that they would increase relaxation. Thin is a great mistake, however; for thesis Pills will immediately correct the liver and stop every kind of 1.,0wel complaint. In warm rlimat,, thousands of lives have been 10,0 by the use of this medicine, which in all case+, gives tone and vigor to the whole organic system, however deranged,— health and strength following as a matter of coarse. The appetite, too. is wonderfully increased by the use of these Pills, combined in the use of solid in preference to fluid diet. Animal food is better than broths and stews. Ity removing acrid, fermented, or other impure humors from the liver, stomach, or blood, the cause of dysentery, diar rhoea, and other ts.owel complaints isexpelled. The result is, that the disturber ce is arrested, and the action of the bowels becomes regular. Nothing will stop the relaxa tion of the bowels so quickly as this tine correcting med. 'rine.

'NG A Original Voctq. The last faint beams of day Had faded from the distant hills, And twilight her soft mantle Threw o'er the silent vale. Ere the ebon form Of night sat enthroned upon Their highest peaks, I hied me to my lowly pallet In Morpheus' arms my sorrows to forget, Ere that my tired form had long The triml romfort known. I sank Voconseious in the drowsy gel's emhrar'•. _ . lo'And I drowned that timo's uneett,ing wheel, liey•rseil, revolved timid the mystic Aet.eti Which gleam fi.mi history's ponderous page; Back, hack, until the dial bt. okl With ling, pointing to the oventful hour When freedom's first faint lays ills au I The hearts of Mir Columbia's sons. When dread oppression stalked in hideous Form iteross this goodly land, and crushed, With iron heal, the first uprising Of her power. Metlionght I saw, Convened upon a sunny slope, lighted By the golden hues transmitted From the morning sun a patriotic band ; From out their faces shone the scintillations of a soul aglow with love of home And home's endearments. Fierce determination Sat upon each swarthy brow and ruled Each lion heart. They spoke of countless insults, Heaped upon their writhing soul's by Britain's Haughty King. And at the surging of their quenchless Wrath, vied with Jove's convulsive thunders, Methought there rains a rushing as of a mighty wind, And from the sympathizing Heavens came a mighty Angel, beating in his Land a banner striped With varied hues. My trembling soul a draught Of Joy imbibed, as to the morning breeze He flung the banner dear that erst o'er fair Columbia's battlements did proudly float ; And pointing to its undulating folds The messenger of God's high favor Thus its colors did explain : The red, symbolic Of toe crimson tide which yet shall love The valleys of this infant continent, Preetninence assume on this insuperable Standard. The white, of purity unsullied, Speaks, and tells a nation, struggling In oppression's grasp, that long as she her voice Shall raise against despotism's power, The dauntless son of Clod shall lead Tier army's van. The blue declare, That long As true fidelity shall grace the hearts 01 those who battle in her righteous cause, No power on earth shall ever wrest This glorious banner from its place upon the dome, Of freedom's citadel. No miscreant hand shall dare defile Its sacred folds. No humid gale, From death's unfathomable chambers, Shall ever blur its matehlese tints, Or hurl it front its regal throne, To rot amid the misty vapors Of dark oblivion. And how, this ensign, Born where life's pure fount unceasing pours Its waters down the ever-verdant vales, Giving sustenance to flowers whose fragrance Fill elysian air with sweet perfumes Unknown to earth, I thus present to you Brave defenders of a principle Fraught with power ; and destined Ere the earth a thousand revolutions Make, to hear upon its scarred breast The nations ef the world. AR Pied wag true, advanced, And bowing low,until hit lips The emerald carpet pressed, Received the banner from the hand of him Why bore it from the skies; And, gathering 'neath its beauteous folds, They vowed that ere it 'ilex the dust Their blood, like mountain rivulets, Should flow. • E4c ttign of Zara. SOUTHERN OUTRAGE. The Duty of the Nation to Protect Equal Rights in the South, Sermon by, the Rev. Dr. Biyliss on "As sassination for Opinion s Sake as ' an Element of Free Government." From the Indianapolis Journal, July 17. Trinity M. E. Church was crowded to repletion last night to hear the sermon of Dr. Bayliss, suggested by the outrages upon the family of Senator Twitchell, in Louisiana, with which this community have become familiar by reason of the funeral of Mrs. Helen E. Willis, in this city, last week. Hundreds went away from the church because of lack of room. The discourse was listened to with the deepest interest, and three times the au dience broke over the restraints of the time and place, applauding loudly, when, with earnest indignation, the reverend gentle man spoke of the insult heaped upon the memory of the dead woman by the editor of the Sentinel, in comparing her funeral to the funeral of a street car horse. But the sermon speaks for itself. It was as follows : TUE TEXT Ps. xciv., 1-6 : 0 Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth ; 0 God to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself. Lift up thyself, thou judge of the proud. Lord, how long shall the wicked triumph ? How long shall they utter and speak hard things, and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves ? They break in pieces thy people, 0 Lord, and afflict thine heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. TIIE SERMON Without knowing or intending it, the psalmist has here given us a picture of large proportions of the South, and has furnished a form of prayer for the stricken ones. The troth has been forced upon us, for we have had among us during the past week a spectacle which to many of us was appalling. We have followed to the grave the remains of a woman who was killed by Southern cruelty, and we have seen fol lowing her in his solitary sorrow, a man, both of whose arms have been destroyed by bullets from a rifle in the hands of a Southerner. The woman is at rest. The angry surges of sectional hate will sweep over her no more. The crack of the as• sassin's rifle cannot again disturb her sleep. She has heard of the murder of her kindred for the last time. Let us con gratulate her. The brother is not so.— lie still lives—lives to remember the graves of his murdered kindred ; lives to look at the meagre stumps of his helpless arms, and to be reminded of them every day of his life of the malevolent coolness with which an assassin, in open day, in the most conspicuously public place in a Southern village, deliberately fired twenty one shots at him and his companions, and then rode unmolested away. Lives also to think that he has suffered all this in a country for whose freedom and unity he had received other wounds in the open war. Some of us have seen this man sit ting in the deep shadow of his bereave ment, and absolutely so helpless that a friend was compelled to sit by and wipe for him the tears which ran over his scarred face as he mourned for his dead. We have seen him helped into a carriage by friends who found it difficult to assist him because he had no arms for them to take hold of; and yet he could not goalone, be cause the same assassin had made ghastly wounds in other parts of his body. And as we looked some of us wept, partly for pity for him, partly for shame for our country that is so stained by those infamies, and partly in a sort of helpless indignation or impotent raga that such is the structure of our government, and such its relation to society and public senti ment. that such outrages can be perpetrated m = 1 mcf 1 'Tv I C— o ...,, t:C C I R.' A Dream. Dl' J. W. WELCH I slept The one, whose heart HUNTINGDON, PA., Ft by the thousand, as they have been, and the guilty parties go free, no arrests made, no indictments found—a free riot of blood. This comes home to us. We hear of such instances often, but they are far away and distance robs them of their startling horribleness. Indeed, in the peacefulness of our Northern society, it seems to us that the reports must be ex aggerations. It seems incredible to us that in civilized society assassins should prowl about day and night, killing nien iOr their opinions. The most of us had read of this case, but we gave little heed to it. We did not hear the crack of the rifle, nor see the cool murderer ride away when his work was done. But the victim unexpectedly to himself' and us, finds him self here for a few days, and we can see him and hear him and help him bury his dead. Thus the truth comes home to us, and we arc compelled to believe that po litical assassination is a verity in America, as real, as unscrupulous. as bloody, as awful, as the Secret Council and the Bridge of Sighs in Venice in the days of despot ism. It is a task at once both wicked and hopeless, to attempt to silence the clamor abcut these infamies. If they cannot be punished they must be denounced. If the conscience of the nation is not dead, it must speak, and will speak. We cannot be true to our Declaration of Independence, to the rights of man, nor to the God of nations, unless we lift our voices in con demnation. Our denunciations must he neither few nor feeble. And the loudest and fiercest of these denunciations must conic from the church of Christ. Shall she see the weak trampled in the dust, and the helpless crushed, and not speak ? Shall we content ourselves with hymn singing and prayers, celebrating a decorous worship in easy pews, and let great wrong surge and roar through the nation unre strained by even a protest from us ? Shall we sacrifice justice at our very altars, and then attempt to atone for the sacrifice by a louder anthem to God I fancy God wants no such worship.— He wants His people to be as righteous as they are devout, and to have as much con science as they have rapture. More than Once has God told His people that He was tired of their new moons and Sabbaths, and has commanded them to offer less worship and practice more goodness ; to put away the evil of their doings, and to relieve the oppressed. For the church to be silent about such wrongs as these would expose her to the taunts of her enemies, that "she had less justice than truth, and less goodness than piety." I am glad to believe that the spirit of outrage is not universal even in the south. While I suppose there is general discon tent at the results of the revolution which has swept over them, the discontent is not everywhere a passionate hate. I am as sured that, in a feeble way, many in the South protest against these infamies. . _ Neither is there any political party which as a whole. indorses thew. None would dare to do it, as I suppose none desires to do it, and if any party is in such a rela tion to them as to feel called upon to apol ogize for them, or even to silence the clamor of an outraged conscience concern ing them, it is a misfortune for that party. It is also to be conceded that passion and brutality in the South are not un natural. Slavery brutalizes owners as well as slaves, and if either can rise above this result it is because he is superior to the logic of his situation. It is a fearful thing to the master to put him in absolute posses sion of the bodies and souls of men and women, and so hedge him about that their testimony cannot be taken against him even in a case of murder. Human nature in its average instances is not strong enough to resist temptations to violence and brutality under such conditions. Besides this, revolution has swept over them, and it must be galling to men who have learned to be domineering, arrogant. and brutal, to find their former chattels now free and practically masters of the situation in some localities. I can under stand, to some extent, the fierce fire of mingled chagrin, hate, and vengeance which burns in the bosoms of some of these men. Others are continually taunted by the fact that, though once affluent, they are now almost in want, and it is not easy for them to feel kindly toward any thing that contributed to their financial ruin. But after all that can be said by way of extenuation, the awful and inexcusable fact remains that political assassination is common in many sections of the South.— At the midnight hour men are aroused from their sleep, and hurried, without a moment's notice, into eternity. 1 Tnarmed and unprotected men arc shot down like dogs in open daylight. Some have been deluded by promises of protection and then led away to the slaughter, as Judas be trayed his Master with a kiss. General Canby and Dr. Thomas went of their own accord into the Modoc camp, and then were slain. Bat they had no promise of protection from the red men ; they were not lured to destruction as ships are by the false light of the wrecker. And yet how our outraged consciences de manded vengeance upon' the treacherous murderers. No pursuit of them was swift enough to please our vengeful feeling ; no cost of war was deemed extravagant. But Homer Twitchell and his brothers•in-law were promised protection. It was said also that unless they yielded to the sug gestion they would probably be a massacre of negroes ; their humanity was appealed to ; they would save themselves and hun dreds of others by yielding to the friendly request of their neighbors. Thus appealed to they consented, and then were bretrayed and killed. Official reports show that these mur ders amount to thousands. No scenic ef fects are needed. We may not try to make the case appalling by drawing upon our imagination for tragic drapery. It is a St. Bartholomew in detail; a stream of blood which makes up in continuity of flow what it lacks in volume. Some affect to disbelieve, and I would that for the honor of humanity, and espec ially for the fair fame of our own land, there were some room for doubt. The fact that we are Americans would. lead us to desire to doubt. But there is no more doubt that thousands have been .murder ed in the South since the war than that there is to doubt whether the war occur red. The reign of terror is no mere a fact in the history of France than is the reign of terror a fact in large sectiont3 of the South to day. And there is as little room to doubt that the vast majority of them are political assassinations. They are not the result of sudden passion, bur of settled bate; they are not the issue of individual quarrels, but are deliberately planned for the accomplishment of ulterior ends. Sometimes in the north a mob breaks into a jail and hastens what it calls an cxc IDAY, AUGUST 11, 187 g. cution of justice against some gross offen der, and in very rare instances we almost feel that there is sonic show of reason for the madness of the mob. But among the thousands of victims of Southern diabol ism almost none have been convicted or even accused of any grave offense. The bullet has smitten the innocent, and the knife has cut the unoffending. It is not necessary to disguise the tact that in some cases bad men have been lift ed into places of power in the Southern States ; adventurers and fbrtunehunters from the North, many of whom should he removed by legal processes from the posi tions which they hold. But when men appeal to this fact in vindication of assas sinations—and massacres their logic be comes as inhecile as their feelings arc di abolical. The corruptions of occasional office holders are no apology for wholesale murder, and no distortion of logic can make them so. A NON-PARTISAN LOOK AT THE SITUA- TION Now let us forget that we are either Re publicans or Democrats, and for a moment look at this state of things as American citizens and Christians. As an element of free government it is an inconsistency which no words of mine can fitly characterize. The granite on which our government rests is the decla ration that "all men are created free and equal, and arc endowed with certain ina lienable rights, among which are life, lib erty, and the pursuit of happiness." This is oar boast; we have proudly flaunted it in the faces of emperors and kings : it is the weapon with which we have made our merciless assaults upon the despotisms of the world ;by it we have indulged the governments of all history and explained the mystery of their destruction ; it has pointed our logic, inspired our oratory, and inflamed our national pride. And within the last fifteen years thous ands upon thousands of persons have been killed in this country for reasons largely political or social. There is no other civ ilized or semi-civilized nation on the globe, republican, monarchial, or autocratic, in which one-tenth as many victims have fall en by assassination for similar reasons in the same time. Freedom's plague.spot is the southern section of this Union ; the strongest argument in favor of centralized government which the world now furnish es is that the same section of this country. Ic would be a relief to fly to despotism from such democracy. All nations curse Romish hierarcky for inquistion, and deservedly so. It thrilled Europe with terror; it threw over the in tellect of the nations an almost starless night of stagnation. It manacled the ages, and hurled them terror.stricken at the feet of pontiffs who grew cruel through excess of security. It brought hell on earth and cast the nations into it. But even the inquisition tried men : it mocked them it is true, but it was in f.a mal phrases of legal import; they were ar raigne,a, condemned, and punished under some form of law. But this proscription assails men in open day, murders then► as they sit by their firesides ; calls them to their doors, and when they answer the summons shoots them in the very presence of wives and children ; seizes them and then carries them to corn-fields and turns them loose, and shoots them as they run for their lives, just as brutal sportmen turn rats out for terriers in rat-pits ; mur ders teachers who are peacefully engaged in that work of education which has been both our necessity and our boast since 1776. And all this in America, where we, the other day. celebrated our centen nial Fourth of July when the whole air was resonant with voices of orators and thun der of guns, and all for freedom ; where we made the valleys and hills and moun tains and the very heavens, luminous with liberty's beacon fires and flaming rockets. If dead men know anything of what transpires on earth what an infinite bur lesque all this must have seemed to the men and women who have fallen under the assassin's hand through these years. I repeat that as an element of our boast ed free government this state of things is an inconsistency which I have no language to characterize. And it is not necessary ; it characterizes itself. To sensitive and unbiased minds it is sufficiently appalling without tragic accompaniments. Remove all this from the field of politics and it would freeze all of us with horror. No body was killed by that band of robbers in Missouri the other day, but how the news shot through the land like a shock from some huge galvanic battery. Military in terference has been called for. and large rewards offered for the arrest of the marau ders. And this is well. This is as it should be. But at about the same time ten colored men were killed in South Car olina in a conflict which the whites pro voked and began, and some of the victims let loose and shot as they ran. How does that affect 1123 ? Are rewards offered for the murderers? Does an outraged nation call for vengeance. Such a state of things brings popular government into disrepute. Such a state of things is not government at all, but an archy. monarchy. an unlimited caricature of government. It would make us a jest among the nations if it were not so mon strous as to be appalling. It would make monarchists laugh only that it amazes them with horror. If Turkey should practice such proscription through a term of years it would demand the intervention of Eu rope, and the monarchies of the old World would engage in a war for the rights of men. The shame which came upon us from ninety years of slavery has been perpetua ted through fifteen years of assassination and terrorism, and unless we can in some way get deliverance from these woes we must become a by•word and a hissing among the nations. This state of things carries destruction in its right hand. It palsies business and mildews social life. Alen who killed their neighbors for politi cal reasons in that act commit suicide upon their own interests. The South has a sun ny climate and a rich soil, but European immigration shuns its disturbed territory as men avoid contagion. Men who fly from the oppressions of monarchy do nut seek shelter under the terrors of anarchy. They will not take their children where they may some day be suddenly made fatherless by the caprice of a mob. Thus as a fact immigration enriches and popu lates the North, and goes only to carefully selected portions of the South and in small numbers. such a state of things is an offense to God. Egypt afflicted Israel, and the op pressed bore it all with a long, sad patience until many a grave witnessed to the proud Egyptian's cruelty, and God became an gry. Then a pillar of fire appeared to guide the bondmen from their captivity. aid they went out. But they went into a wilderness, and found their progress bai-red by an impassable sea. And their old enemies pressed hard alter them. They would torture them into a return to their bondage. Wrong does not readily let ..ro its grasp upon its victims. and it was thought that chariots and horsemen might frighten lsreal into return They had h.•• gun to taste the sweets of freedom. feat it was evidently supposed that substituting slaughter for slave-driving. the sword for the lash, they could be eoereed into return. They these un will prefer slavery bebire death. and by threatening them with death we can secure their servitnde But God was there, as he has always been at every seene of wrong. and every where, and always the friend of the op pressed. The result you know Men try in vain to plot against God in their conn cils, or to fight against him in war. The pursuers were overwhelmed with flestrue tion ; they went down under time sea ; the waves rejoiced over them. And Miriam took her timbre! and sang a song of victo ry : "God," said she, "bath triumphed gloriously : the horse anti his rider barb he cast into the sea." A great King walked and soliloquized amid the splendors of his oriental capital. It was gorgeous with every invention of barbaric splendor. And be said : Is this not great Babylon which I have built'" He had subdued surrounding nations, sacked cities. and carried away captives. His career was as full of outrage as his heart was of pride. And while he was yet speaking these arrogant and worked words he heard a voice from heaven which must have twilled him like the crash of duuom And the voice said : "The kingdom is de parted from thee, and they shall drive thee from men till thou know that the Most High ruled' in the kingdom of men and giveth it to whomsoever he will." It was God appearing again as the avenger of public wrong. Again there was a great feast in Bel shazzar's festive hall. The song of the reveller and the shout of the satrap min gled in chaotic uproar. Laseivioussesu added to the mad exhilaration of the wine cup. Despotism bad condescended to a revel, and courtiers vied with their mas ters in hilarious sin. But there was in iquity in that kingdom also. God's people had also been plundered and enslaved to in crease the wealth and spiendor of a blas phemous king. Suddenly a mysterious hand appeared, and traced strange words on the illuminated wall. The blasphemy was hushed, and the revelry was still. God's prophet came. and the writing on the wall proved to be God's declaration that a great empire hail filled np the cup ofits iniquity. "And on that night was Bel shazzar slain." and Darius. the Mclean, took the kingdom. We read such facts as these to little, purpose if we tail to see that God is con cerned in national history, and that he is always against wrong doers. lie waits in patience while men approach the cultuina tion of their crimes. It sometimes simest seems that Ile who fought fu. against Egypt. and for Daniel against Nebuchadnezzar, has grown indifferent since then, or is weary of the enrile4s strug gle. This, however. is a great m i stake. God changes not. lie hates the outragi.. of Coushatta as much as lie did the wrongs of Babylon. Think you he is so deaf as not to hear the shrieks that .tartle the midnight air of the South ? Is He heed less while orphans pray ? Think you that the smell of this reeking holocsut not reach His nostrils! Shall He note the dying sparrow under the shrub on the meadow's verge, and not know nor heed when freemen die by violence for opinion's sake? Let us not deceive ourselves concerning the assumed indifference of God, nor al low ourselves to be silent about a ziant wrung because at some points it tonch.-s the verge of polities. We mu4t end the,e outrages by righteousness. or there is so room from history to fear that Gott will end them by such mean, as lie may see fit. WHAT ARE THE REMEDIEI What shall be done ? I answer, first we must speak, and speak in no uncertain way. I very much fear ' that we have been too silent. The whole subject has been made apolitical question. and the pulpit has been dumb under this view of it. It is not pleasant to be made the target for taunts and criticisms. And so the accumulating wrongs have gone on unrebuked even by the pulpit. I never spoke upon it in public myself until the scenes of the past week startled me from my apathy. And yet I imagine that all the wrongs committed in this land fur fifteen years past turn pale in presence of this one. Ev ery bad passion which flames in an Indian massacre is more than paralleled here. We burn with vengeance for Custer and his brave hand, and yet the dead who have been slain by these outrages in the Smith are more than five times the number of armies which confronted each other on the plains bef we Custer fell. And so we mast speak. We cannot be true to our broad mission of right and charity and be silent. The church of Christ. with an open Bi ble beflo-e her, can take but one view .;'the question. To he indifferent concJrning it would be to give the lie to all her profes sions of broad charity and love for the right. Shall we send millions id money to heathen lands for the education and sal vation of foreign nations, and then quietly sleep on while in our own land the a.-ietws- We rifle crashes through Ow night, accom panied by shrieks of women whose lois bands are murdered and the wail of orphan children ? Shall we sympathize with the Servians in their struggles for freedom against the Turks. and then 4mite and call it fun, nr scowl and call it polities. while negroes run through cur own stretts and fields trying to dodge the bullets of mur derers ? 11 there were no politics in it. and I fail to see how her duty is at all differ ent now. ller Bible. her Saviour. her God, her martyrs. her heaven, all her tory and all her hopes pledge her to one view of the subject. These murders are "evil, only evil, and that continually," and are to be punished and stopped. The government should handle the ease with less delicacy. We are so afraid of military interference in this country that too often the ways of justice are allowed to be wholly perverted for lack of it. There must be somewhere in this nation a power which can (tuell this dark and dreadful spirit. If there is not then our boast about our government is self-deception or hypoc risy, and the government itself is an object of pity or contempt. If it cannot protect its own citizens, it is time for revolution, either in public opinion or in the structure of our Constitution and laws. The time has come for, this sin to cease , and th e General Government, if the State will not do it, should be encouraged and empower ed to put a stop to it.
