I which conTeys the Remedies to the cavities in the lunge through the teL priestiges. and coming In direct contuet with the disease, neutralises the tubertulnr mutter, alleys the cough, causes a free cud easy expectoration. heals the lungs, purifies the blood, imparts renewed vitality to the ner vous system, giving that tone cud energy on Indispensa ble for the restoration of Mishit. To be able to state confidently that Consumption is curable by Inhalation, is to me a source of unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under the control of medicel treatment as any other formidable disease ; ninety out of every hundred cases can be cured in the first stages, and fifty percent. in the second; but in the third stage it is impossible to save more than five per cent., for the lungs are so cut up by the disease as to defy medical skill. Even, however, In else last ' , times, inhibition affords extraordinary relief to the suffering attending this fearful scourge, which an nually destroys ninety-five thousand persons In the U nited States alone ; and a correct calculation shows that of the present population of the earth, eighty millions are dentinal to ell the Consumptise's grave. 'truly, the quiver of death has nu arrow so fatal as Consumption. In nil ages it has been the great enemy oflife, tar itapares neither age nor sex, but sweeps MI alike the bravo. the beetitlftil, the graceful, and the gift, ed. /ty the help of that Supreme Befog, from whom content every good and. perfect gift, I am enabled to offer to the efilleted a permanent and speedy cure in Con• sumpthm. The first cause of tubercles is from Impure Blood, and the immoliite effect, produced by their depo- sition in the lunge, is to prevent the free admission of air into the air cells, which causes a weakened vitality through the entire system. Then, surely, it is morn ra tional to expect greater good - from medicines entering the cavities of the lungs, than:from those administered through the stomach ; the patient will always find the lungs free and the breathing easy, after inhaling reme dies. True, inhalation is a lops remedy, nevertheless, it arts constitutionally, and with more power and cer tainty than remedies suluduistered by the stomach. To prove - the powerful and direct influence of this mode of administration, chloroform labeled fella destroy Benetton.

Oa the 20th of July, 1857, General Lane under the authority Olt the ,Topeka Convention, under took, as Gem-Maker says, '*-To organize the whole so-called free-States party into volunteers, •and take the names of all who refuse enrolment. The professed object was to protect the polls at the election in, Augustof the new insurgent Topeka state 1 4 418144 re." '.'The object of taking the names of all who refuse the enrolment is to terri fy the free-State, conservatives into. submission This is proved by the recent atrocities committed on such men by the ' Topekaites. The speedy location of large bodies of regular troops here with two batteries is necesfary. The Lawrence insur gents await the development of this new revolu tionary military organization." In. Governor Walker's despatoh of July 27th, he says. -"Gen. Lane sunidtis staff everywhere deny the authority of, the Territorial !awe, and cottesel totettlisregard; of these enactments." Without making further,„tjuotations of similar character from other desPatches of Gov. Walker, it appears by a reference to acting-Governor Stanton's com munication to Secretary Cass, under date of the 9th of becetnber lasi, that "the important stop of cell -I.g the Legislature together was taken after Gov. Walker bad become satisfied that the eleetion or dered by the Convention on the 21st inst. could not be conducted witboutcollision or blood-sb ed." So Mouse was the disloyal feeling among the enemies of the Government established by Con gress, tbacan election which affords them an .op portunity, if in the majority, of making Kansas a free State, =cording to their own professed desire could not be conducted without collision and - hdoodt , head.' The truth is, that until the present moment the enemietrof the-existing GoV,crpuieut still adhere to .their * Topeka' revolutionary Con stitution and Goiernment. The very first para graph of the neriagief Governor Robertson, dat ed the 7th of December, to the Topeka Legislature now assembled in Lawrence, contains au open defiance of the Constitution and laws of the United States. • . The Governor says: ' , The Convention which framed the Constitution at Topeka originated with the "people of Xansas Territory. They have a dopted and ratified the same twice by a direct vote and also indirectly through two elections of State officers and members or the State. Legislature.— Yet it has pleased the. of, inistration to regard the whole proceeding as revolutionary." This Topeka Government, adheared to with such troy suitable pertinacity, is a Government in d ireet op.. pots it ien to the existing Government, as prescribed and recognised by Congress. It is an usurpation of the same eharacters as it would be for a portion of the people of any Sure to undertake. to estab lished a separate Government within its : limits, for the purpose of redreesing any griev. nee, real 'or imaginary, of wine!' they might complain, t against the legitimate State Government. Such a principle; if carried into ex ecution, would do. stray. all lawful authority and produce universal anarchy. . - 1 - From thisatatement of facts, tharea.son becomes I palpable why the enemies of the Government au titertzed by Congress have refused ta.vote ) for del , .. cotes to the Kansas Constitutional ,Convention, und'ulso, afterwards on the citteition of Slavery, submitted by it to the people.

It is true, that at this election the en elides of the Territorial Government did not vote because they were then ty,gaged at Topeka, with. eat' the slightest pretext of lawful authority, in framing re Constitution of their own, for the par pose of subverting the Territorial Oovernmeht: In pursuance of this decision of the people in favor of a Convention, the Territorial Legislature, on the 27th of February, 1857, passed an act for the election of dale's:ace on the third Monday of June, 1857, t o frame a State Constitution. • This law is as fair in its provisions•as any that erer passed a s logislative body. for a similarpurpeseme- The right el: auffrage.isi this election is clearly and ;lastly defined. "'Every bona fide inhabitant of Kenai." on the third'Monday of June, the day of the election, who was a tisizen of the United States above the age of 21, and resided therein for three moeths previous to that date; 14 , 114 r entit led to vote. In order to.,avoid all interference from neighboring St tee or Territories with the freedom and fitirneas Of the election, a provision was made for the registrory of qualified voters and pursuant theri..f, nine thousand and fifty two ve. tors were registered. 'Governor Walker did his whole duty in .urging all the qualified citizen of Kausaeto vote at this election. in his inaugural address, On. the-Eft-Of May, he informed them that "under our practice the preliminary net of framing a State Constitution is uniformly performed through the instrumental ity of a Convention of Delegates chosen by the people themselves ; that the Convention' is upw about to be: elected ,by you, tinder a 'oall of elm Territoral Legislature, created and still recognis ed by ,theautherity of Congress and clothed by it, in the riemprehou sive language of the organic law, with fell power to make such an enactment. The Territorial Legislature then in assembling thi Convention, were fully sustained by. act of Congress, and the authority of the convention la distinctly recognized in my instructions from the President of tee United States." The Governor also clearly and distinctly warn. them what would be the consequences If bey did not participate in the elections. "The people of Kanzas,! then, he says, "are invited by the highest authority known to the Constitution to participate freely and fairly in the election of delegates to frame a Constitution and State GeV. ernment. Thu law has performed its entire and appropriate function when it extends to the pen pie the right of suffrage, but it cannot compel ;be performance of that duty. Throughout the whole Union, however, and wiser ever free governess: t prevails, those who abstain from the exercise, of the right of suffrage authorise those who do vote to ant for them in that contingency, and absen tees are as much. bound, by the law and Consti. tution, where' there is no fraud or -violence, by the act of the majority of those who do , vete, ast if all had participated in the election ; Otherwise, as voting, must he voluntary, self-government would be impracticable, and monarchy or despot. ism would remain as the only alternative." It may also be observed that at Ibis period, any hope, if such bad existed, that the Topeka Constitution:would ever be recognised by Con, greets, must have been abandoned. Congress had adjourned on the 3rd of March previous, having recognised the legal existence of the Territoral Legislature in a variety of forma, which I need not enumerate. Indeed, the delegate elected to the Koine of Representatives, under a, Territorls al law, Lad been admitted to his seat, and had just completed his term of service the day previ ous to my inattguration. . This was a propitious moment fur 'tett-ling all the diffieultiea its Kansas. This was the time: for abandoning the revolutlen; ary Topeka organizationj and -for the enemies of the existing Government to conform to the !awl and unite with friends in framing a BIM. Constitution. But this they refused to do, and the consequences of their refusal ,te,submit to lawful authority, and vote at the election: of del egates, may yet prove to be of the most dePlora ble character. Would that the respect fur the laws of the land, which so eminently distinguish ed the men of-the past generation, could be re vived. It is a-tlisregard,and violation of the law which have for years kept the Territory: of Kan. sax in a state of almost open rebellion against the Government; it is the same spirit which has pro duced actual robellioa in Utah. Our only safety consist:a in.oliodionee and conformity to the law. Should a general spirit against its enforcement prevail, this will prove fatal to us as a nation,— We acknowledge no master but the law; and should -we out louse from it restraints, and every ono do what eeemetli good in their own oyes, our van is indeed hopeless. The enCTOOs of the Territorial Government are determined still to resist, the authority of Con. „ ., ress. They refused to vote for delegates to the Convention, not because, from circumstances which I need not detail, there was an omission to register comparatively few voters, who -were habitants of certain counties in Manses, in the early spring of 18:14, but because they had pre. determined, at all hazards, to adhere to their rev olutionary organization, and defeat the estab, lishmeut of any other Constitution than that whioh theY.had,framad at Topeka; the elm:dims* therefore, was suffered to pass in d,efault. But of this result the qualified electors who refused to iota can never justly compain. Front,thie review, it•is, -manifest dint the Le. ernrapton convention, according to every prinoi ple of constitutional law, was legally °cogitated and invested with the power to frame a Constitu tion. The sacred principle of p.opnler sovereignty hes bison invoked in faVur of the enemies of law and order in Kansas. But in whet manner Is•pepe.• lar sovereignty to be exercised in this country, it nut through the instrumentality of established law 1 In certain small RepuLlics of anoieut times people did assemble in printery meetings, passed laws; and directedpublic! affairs. In our country this i• manifestly int puszdble. Popular sovereign ty can be exercised here only through the ballot box, and if people will refuse to - exercise it in thil manner, es they have done in Kansai litt,Lbn 000 1 tion of delegates, it is not for them to complain that their rights have been violated. The Kansas Convention, thus lawfully consti tuted, proceeded to frame a Constitution, and, having completed the work, finally adjourned on the 7th of November last. They did not think proper to submit the whole of the - Constitution to the popular vote, but did sAmit the question which had convulsed the Union and shaken its, very centre. This was the rinettiovi which bad lighted the flames of Fivll yr,ky ip Itamaa!, and produced dangerous amnions.' parties throughout the Confederacy. It was of aeh aracier so para. mount, in respect to the condition of , Kansas, a. to rivet the anxious atter.tion of the people of the whole tottptry,,npon it alcute.• f..rs.on thought of any tither question.
