What Shall We Pay for Peace f
One of the most interesting phases of the
present war is the earnest yearning for
peace. There is no subject more apt to
catch the attention of the people than a
peace story. No matter how preposterous,
the nation accepts it. When a couple of
adventurers worked their way through the
lines, and entered into the presence of
Davis, the people of the North found it in
teresting enough to become excited, and
Mr. Benjamin saw proper to give an ac.
count of the interview to the European Ca
binets. The eagerness with which all men
accept these stories showß that one thought
lies in every human heart. Whatever
may be dazzling or attractive in this
blaze of war, beyond it the bright vista of
peace presents a fascination that no pomp
or triumph can surpass. To the earnest
Northern heart war is only necessary be
cause it is the means by which we can gain
a permanent peace, and the friends of the.
Administration eagerly sustain war because
they are convinced that peace can only be
gained by its vigorous prosecution. Among
our public men there are two controlling
ambitions—the desire to become the great
Warrior, and the great Pacificator, and it
is difficult to know to which history will
assign pre-eminence.
We ourselves feel an absorbing interest
in this question. We desire peace. We
are tired of bloodshed and debt, and we
shall hail with joy any offer of the olive
branch. We care not who is the ambassa
dor. Let it be the humble, weary dove, or the
traitor Davis himself, we can take it for
the blessings it will bring. We want peace;
and the question now is: What shall we
pay for peace ? How much can we afford
to give ? Are there any lessons of war
that are as yet Imperfectly learned ? Have
the people been sufficiently chastened ? The
-war has slain slavery. Thank Godforthat!
Whatever may be surrendered to peace,
we can never surrender emancipation.
The war has freed the negro by educating
public sentiment at the North! and com
pelling Davis and his generals to make
freedom a part of the military necessity of
the South. The negro bipod and brawn is
found useful for the rebel armies, to dig,
and drill, and hurl upon Northern bayo
nets. We have shown that the negro is a
soldier. Davis accepts the lesson and pro
fits by it. Negro slavery cannot be tam
pered with and live. The Southern lead
ers cannot take away a portion and hope to
reconstruct a system out of the remainder.
Like a toy-house on a play-ground, if we
touch a brick the whole edifice fells. When
the negro fires a Confederate gun he .will
cease to wear a Confederate yoke or follow
a Confederate plough. The negro has the
wisdom of simplicity. “Give me but to
see,” said the old Greek. * Give the negro
hut to see a squadron of Ms fellow-slaves
following the fife and from that
day the distinctions of master and bonds
man cease. When the Southerner kneels
with Ms Blave before the same rifle-pit he
makes that slave a man. So that the war
has accomplished emancipation with a
double-edged sword. In our hands we
strike with united public sentiment. In
the hands of our enemies we strike with a
military necessity. However or whenever
the war may end—to-day, or twenty years
from to-day—the slave rises up from Ms
bondage.
Having gained tMs, what more shall we
pay for peace ? There are social and poli
tical issues that will arise in the discussion.
Here comes the question now agitating
Congress—the status of the re-admitted
States. Has the mere operation of the war
been abundant punishment ? Shall we con
sider Sheehan’s desolating march suffi
cient penance, and thus settling our ac
count with Georgia, throw open the doors
and bid all of its people to hurry
forward and accept the old flag,
or shall we, make new oaths, and
tests? Shall the war end by endorsing
the theory of some accomplished publicist
who finds in Ms books the remedy for
every public woe and the true source of
every -peace, or shall we allow grim
Shebman and Grant to move on their
battalions and find it with the sword. We
do not know what the policy will be. But
as the people began the war, the people
will end it, and the Government will find
the surest method of pacification when it
thoroughly searches the heart of the nation
and discovtrs.its Mdden thought _ When
peace comes, let it be everlasting, and when
such a peace is proposed, we feel sure the
nation will say Amen!
The Fort and the Garrison.
The war has worked its way to an en
tirely new position. While 'the rebellion
has an immense territory to defend with a
small army, the Union armies are not
called upon to guard one inch of Northern
ground, and it is not the least result of
the plans of Gbant that they make our
forces in every quarter offensive. Tennes
see, Kentucky, and Missouri, are not even
menaced; the gates of the Shenandoah are
locked' and bolted; .Washington is as little
in need of protection as Philadelphia.
The rebellion, on the contrary, is alto
gether on the defensive. All its remaining
positions are attacked; Richmond, Charles
ton, Wilmington, and Mobile are threaten
ed, and Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi
are awaiting- new attacks. The fort it too
large for the garrison. To repel the attack
on the.east, the west must he abandoned.
Thus Hood, incapable of fighting two ar
mies at once, abandoned Georgia to Sheb
nan, and Hamdee surrendered Savannah
without a blow, in order to reinforce
Charleston. Lee yielded the invaluable
Shenandoah to save Richmond, and the
dilemma which now confronts the rebel
lion is whether Richmond shall be sacri
ficed to the coast and the interior, or they
to Richmond. It is demonstrated that
Charleston, Wilmington, Richmond, and
the cotton States cannot be simultaneously
defended; yet they are simultaneously at
tacked. The military policy of the South
can no longer be the defence of its out
works ; the citadel itself is in danger.
Our Norfolk correspondent quotes from the
Georgia Constitutionalist an article which
concludes with this emphatic confession :
<• Our armies must be kept together and
unsubdued, if we are reduced to the area
of a single State.” Thispoliey may not be
unrewarded by transitory success, but the
yielding of so much army-sustaining terri
tory and such valuable ports must end in
weakness and complete defeat.
General Bhebman is now advancing into
South Carolina. It is not merely against
Charleston that he moves, but against the
army that defends it; and he will take the
shortest road to the battle-field, whether it
be at Branchville or Charleston. He will
meet with decidedly more opposition than
he did in Georgia, and the united armies of
Beaubeqabd and Habdee will fight him
behind entrenchments. We must not ex
pect the campaign in South Carolina to be
as brief and easy as that in Georgia, but we
have every reason to believe it will he even
more successful- Success comes with battles
now. The more hard fighting the better
for us. How much better it would be
for the rebellion had Hood avoided instead
of seeking a battle with Thomas. The re
sult of a victory at Charleston, admitting
the escape of its large garrison, will he that
the rebel army will fall hack on Richmond,
leaving the entire cotton line open to our
entrance!; There will then be no ar
mies in 6 the South excepting t'hat un
der Hood and that at Mobile. To
deal “with these, has Thomas been rein
forced and his intended movement into
Alabama wM reduce the war to yet sim
pler elements, and the more we simplify
the struggle, the more valuable will be
great victories, and the shorter its duration.
In the meanwhile, there are two armies
that seem destined to await the determina
tion of Shebman’s movement—those of
©bant and Lee. The grand fight is likely
to he at Richmond, wMch, notwithstand
ing all the reasons why it should be evacu
ated, seems to be the point on which the
■?yar is concentrating and destined to be
come the Armageddon of America.
The British Political Situation.
The British Parliamentary session of
1865 will commence on Tuesday, the 7th,
or Thursday, the oth of February—a week
later than usual, which may arise from the
expectation of little to do, or from a desire
to put off the evil day as long as possible.
It is understood that the Government will
not bring forward any but" the most neces
sary measures. At the satne time, indi
vidual members of the Cabinet have sepa
rate propositions of their own to introduce
and carry through, and it is not improba
ble that, in riding these respective hobbies,
they may jostle each other, and even cause
a tumble or two.
The Palmerston Cabinet consists of fif
teen members. The octogenarian Viscount
at its head has to keep all Ms colleagues in
check, and prevent them running into wild
action. Earl Granville, Lord President
of the Council,, has notMng to do except
preside at Cabinet and Privy Council meet
ings when the Queen is absent. The Duke
of Argyll, who was made Lord Privy
Seal, to keep Mm out of mischief—for the
little man is ambitious, and fancies that
by Mmself he could carry on the whole
Government of the British Empire—is
more ornamental than useful, as a public
man. The Earl of Clarendon, whom ge
neral opinion has designated as proximate
Premier, in the event of Palmerston’s
resignation or death, has notMng to do,
as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster,
and Lord Stanley, of Alderley, Postmas
ter- General, stands in much the same
predicament. Here, then, are five out of
the fifteen ruling heads of the Govern
ment departments, who are not at all
likely to introduce measures on wMch
would arise the party discussions which
prolong the Parliamentary session, and,
sometimes*, have caused the wreck of
apparently stable Administrations. We
might add that Sir Geobge Gbby, the
Home Secretary, and Mr. Villiebs, Pre
sident of the Poor-Law Board, are not
likely to be active in the coming session,
though the former may he exercised, by
the serious section of the Commons, on
the subject of having capital punishment
privately performed in future, as in this
country, and the, latter may have to set
Ms wits to work to raise funds to keep
the Lancashire operatives from starving.
These deductions made, there remain
eight Cabinet ministers, each of whom
will have something to say and do next
session.
The Lord Chancellor, as first lay subject
of the realm, is entitled to the pas. Lord
Westbhby is an old gentleman of re
markable energy, whose “particular vani
ty” (as Sam Weller has it), consists in re
torming the law. In this he follows the
example of Ms much older friend, Lord
Brougham, who brought forward a bill for
remodelling the Court of Chancery, before
he had been four-and-twenty hours in
office. Lord Westbuby's chef A'mmre
was a new Bankruptcy Bill, wMch he
rushed through Parliament, hut which,'
unfortunately, is far less effective than that
wMch it superseded. It has been so uni
versally condemned, not' only by the busi
ness public, but by the judges themselves*
that it must be repealed or amended in the
ensuing session. If Lord Westbuby does
not take it in hand, some other person will,
and, at all events, the subject cannot be
legislated upon, as before, in hot haste and
precipitation.'
Next in importance is Mr. Gladstone,
Chancellor of the Exchequer—who, in his
way, is a doctrinaire, as Guizot was—an
able, eloquent, plausible, persuasive man,
Mghly educated, a neryous rather than a
popular writer, self-opinionated to a de
gree, and so unscrupulous in Ms ambition
that if the broad principles of Bright and
Cobden or the narrow doctrines of Derby
and Disraeli were left to Ms choice, he
would adopt those wMch gave most cer
tain prospect of landing him in the office
of Prime Minister. At present, and for the
last four yearn, he has been bidding for
popularity by reducing the taxes wMch
press most heavily on the productive in
dustry of his country, and, to do him jus
tice, has effected much good in tMs direc
tion. We may doubt whether Ms fiscal
measures will ever induce John Bull to
take mn ordinaire in preference to good
malt liquor—the best popular beverage in
the world—hut he merits public thanks for
reducing taxation, and for endeavoring to
have the national expenditure kept within
economic limits. In the next session
he will inevitably be in decided antago
nism to the heads of the Foreign, Colo
nial, Naval, and Military departments,
all of whom, we may .be sure, will re
sist any reduction in the several expendi
tures under their control. Lord Russell,
of course, will submit* that Englahd shall
continue prepared for war, not only on ac
count of the permanent necessity of hold
ing England’s terrible French ally in or
der, but because there may be American
hostilities, arising out of the constant
breach of neutrality by British subjects.
Lord De Grey and Bifon, at the head of
the War Bureau, will naturally protest
against any reduction in the military de
partment, half a dozen Depot Battalions
being the utmost that- he can consent to
lop off, and even these being doubtful, for
Mr. Cardwell, .Colonial Secretary, re
ports that the rebellion in New Zealand has
broken out again, and large military rein
forcements may be required to put it down
and keep it down. Thefe will probably.be
a demand on John Bull’s money-box for a
fleet in the Canadian lakes, the American
Government have given the necessary six
months’notice of an intention to increase
the armament there—a notice, even The
Times admits, perfectly justifiable, under
the recent circumstances of the St. Albans
raid, robbery, and.murder. We maybe
sure, too, that the Admiralty mouthpieces
—the Duke of Somerset in the Lords, and
Lord Clarence Paget in the Commons
will make out a strong case for even in
creased money grants to make the British
navy, (no longer, “the wooden walls”)
more effective, particularly as our Ameri
can navy is becoming the largest and beet
in the world. Sir Charles Wood, at
the India Board, will scarcely make
heavy drafts on the national treasury, for
British India lias a large revenue of her
own, and we may be positive that Mr.
Milner Gibson, president of the Board
of Trade, will neither say nor do anytMng
to prolong the session, for he grudges every
hour, in the fine days of "summer, when lie
is not aboard of Ms yacht, which he han
dles With the ability of an “ old salt.”
The Railway business of Parliament,
however, is under the surveillance of the
Board of Trade, which has to report upon
the plans, sections, and estimates of every
new line sought to be legalized by statute.
Already, the English papers complain,
there are more railroad schemes oil the ta
pis than even in the session of 1845-6, and
it will take a long time and much consi
deration to dispose of even a third of these,
all other Parliamentary business being also
forwarded. These railroad* - schemes, of
themselves, are sufficient to occupy both
Houses far into the month of August.
These delays, however—the prolongation
of. the Session to that twelfth of August so
fatal to the grouse—would be little more
than a disagreeable inconvenience to the
Ministry. But danger threatens them from
another source. As if by. common con
sent, the two belligerentparties, Whigs and
Tories, have quietly agreed to put Parlia
mentary Reform on the shelf. Another
party, that of the People, has lately given
proof that it “ still lives." In Yorkshire
and Lancashire public meetings halve been
lately held, at which it was'determined
that Parliamentary Reform should be
sought; for, by all the legal means that can
best be;employed —by the same system of
organization that compelled Peel, in 1846,
to repeal the Corn Laws. In tMs new agi
tation we see coming danger to the Pal
merston Cabinet. Its aged cMef has
always been a Tory, and averse, even in
Lord Grey’s Ministry, to Parliamentary
Reform, though he voted for it,, and is now 1
more averse than ever to its principle. He
will not consent to that Reform, and Ms re
fusal will make Mm so decidedly unpopu
lar that he will have to resort to a General
Election, in the autumn of 1865 or the spring
of 1860, with the loss of that prestige Which
has kept him so long in office.
William Shaw Lindsay, M. P.
TMs gentleman, whp was largely con
cerned in blockade-running and its profits,-
in defiance of Ms Sovereign’s Proclama
tion ordering that British subjects should
observe the strictest neutrality, at home and
abroad, in the American war, is not in a
condition ever to resume Ms seat in the
House of Commons. He has been attacked
by paralysis, and his doctors have pre
scribed, with the ordinary treatment, that
he shall live in the least eitsiting manner,
leaving business and politics to those whose
health enables them still to labor at the
oar. His absence will not be any loss to
the British Legislature, where, however,
he was considered somewhat useful. His
faults, as a public speaker, were diffuseness
of language and flagrant incorrectness of
statement. He was as unscrupulous in as
sertion as he was illogical in argument.
On the subject of the war in the United
States he was a rabid partisan, worthy of
companionsMp with Roebuck, Gregory,
Bentinck, Laird, and Company. He was
heard, with attention, in the House of
Commons, on matters of business, for he
was a self-made man, who had risen from
a very low position, (that of cabin-boy on
a small coasting vessel,) to be head of a
prosperous sMppmg-house, wMch owned a
small fleet Of vessels, and Ms experience
in business was much relied upon. At the
age of twenty he had risen to the com
mand of a merchantman, and, four years
after, (in 1840), founded the firm of W. S.
Lindsay' & Co., Austin--Friars, London,
of wMch he remains the head. In 1843
he published a volume entitled “Our N
avigation and Mercantile Marine Laws.”
He was strongly impressed with the con
viction that as British commerce might
benefit by the alteration of the navigation
laws of other countries, particularly the
United States, * tlio commercial commu
nity in these other countries ought to make
the changes he suggested. A short time
before the war broke out, Mr. Lindsay
visited tMs country, and made speeches
in some .of the great; cities, (in the
hall of the Board of Trade, in Phi
ladelphia, among the rest,) but made
no converts, and returned to England high
ly displeased with the non-success of Ms
self-constituted mission. Perhaps tMs lay
at the bottom of Ms later antagonism to
our Union and Ms avowed sympathy with
and championsMp of “ the so-called South
ern Confederation.” As a speaker, inde
pendent of Ms wordiness and incorrectness,
Mr. Lindsay was awkward and brusque.
His favorite attitude was to put both hands
-into Ms pockets, and, standing with Ms
legs very much apart, sway Ms body from
side to side—precisely after the fashion of
a landsman on board sMp, in a heavy roll of
the waves, trying to get Ms sea-legs. His
politics—except where this country was in
question—were of the ultra-liberal class.
He has sat in Parliament since March, 1854,
—first for Tynemouth and since March,
1859, for Sunderland, when he* was opposed
byGEOBGE Hudson, “the Railway King,”
who will probably succeed Mm. Mr.
Lindsay is now in Ms 49th year, having
been bom in Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1816.
Philadelphia yesterday stretched out
a hand of welcome to Savannah. The
meeting at .the rooms of the Board of
Trade, of wMch Bishop Potter was the
president, faithfully expressed the feeling
and intentions of the people of tMs city.
We are ready to help the citizens of Savan
nah with all our power. In coming- back
into the Union, they will not find the
North indifferent to the sufferings imposed
upon them by the rebellion. Northern
wealth and trade will once more be poured
into the cMef city of Georgia, and of the
twenty thousand people, who are now al
most without the necessaries of life, we
shall not willingly leave one unaided. A
committee of somejof our leading citizens
was appointed yesterday to prepare an ap
peal to. our citizens. It will be emphati
cally answered.
Richmond and Savannah are now the
poles of the South. The opposition is per
fect. Alarmed by the.readiness with wMch
the people of Savannah acknowledged the
authority of the Government, the Rich
mond journals are doing their best to de
stroy the influence of the example. But it
cannot be concealed or misinterpreted.
Time will ,show that the capture of Savan
nah was more than a military victory; it
established a base for the civil restoration
of the South.
“ Tbs Philadelphia Press is reprinting in circular
form ana distributing here its attack of Saturday
upon the Inquirer.’’—Neu>. York correspondent of
Inquirer.
TMs is untrue. The -Press has issued no
circular containing an “ attack upon the
Inquirer." The Press has given no per
son authority for such a publication, nor
have we any intention of doing so. The
business of printing circulars to abuse our
neighbors, and endeavor to ruin their busi
ness, is another of the monopolies wMch
we gladly surrender to our contemporary.

THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY,
The House resumed the consideration of the Senate’s

for the abolishment of slavery.
Hr. KASSON of lowa, in reply to Hr. Mallory’s re
marks delivered yesterday, »ald that new lights and
influences had been brought to bear in favor of the
adoption of the amendment. The Union Convention,
Which assembled in the city of Baltimore last June,
challenged the entire nation to its consideration
by declaring that the best interests of the country, re
armed, that it should be adopted ; and when the gentle
man's friends assembled in Chicago they did not dare
to take up the issue, and presented no counter-state
ment; and he (Hr. Kasson) held that there was sufficient
argument, and justifloatior, and testimony of the Demo
cratic fathers to show that the proposition now pending
Was a.zueasure of just statesmanship. Democracy was
obedience to the will .of the people, constitutionally ex
pressed ; and it would not be denied that a large ma
jority of the people have so decided. The funda
mental principle ol the Constitution was the extension
of civil and religious liberty. At the very inception of
the Constitution thievery subject of slavery was con
sidered a legal subject for consideration.
Mr. KASSON maintained that the uniform rule hid
been emancipation without compensation, aud it was a
modem heresy that a slave is property as much, as
your horte, your ox, or your ass. But this was not the
doctrine of the fathers and the judicial authorities of
the country as administered in the early times. He
proceeded to show- that Congress bad a right to deal
with the subject and amend the Constitution, provided
It be done according to its provisions, and argued to
show that the amendment proposed was consistent at
this time with sound policy, and necessary for the pur
pose of consolidating the Union and banishing the evil
which has so seriously interfered with peace and
prosperity. ■ .
Hr. VOOBBEE3. of Indiana, called the attention'of
the gentleman to the fact that the Republican majority
heretofore passed a resolution declaring that the Fede
ral Government has no power to interfere with the in
stitution of slavery in the States.
Hr. KaSSON replied, it was true such a declaration
was nade, but now they proposed, by amending the
Constitution, to lay ihe foundation for the exercise of
the power. He then gave his views on the constitu
tional right to make the amendment ’
Hr. COX, of Ohio, in explanation, said he 'conceded
the power to amend the Constitution, and two-thirds of
the States could even erect a monarchy, but he was op
posed to the pending amendment because it sought to
consolidate Vhe powers of the States, and tended to ware
monarchy and despotism.
Hr, KASSON asked whether, the gentleman would
afford the people an opportunity to pass upon it ?
Mr. COX. 1 would give thtm the opportunity if Idid
hot believe
Mr. KASSON [interrupting]. They would pass it.
[Laughter.]
Mr. COX repeated that he would afford them the op
portunity if he did not believe it would tend to disturb
the balance of power between the States, and destroy
our peculiar representative system.
Hr. KASbOa replied that modern Democracy dis
trusts the instincts of the people, while ancient Demo
cracy’trusted the people. The proposition now before
them did not s ppeal to the war power, but to the peace
ful means of amending the Constitution in the manner
designated in the instrument'itself. .He made addi
tional remarks in favor of the amendment.
Mr. FERNANDO WOQD, of He* York, discussed, at
length*thewant of po#era»d r
iag the Conetitution in the Way.pfopOSed- Iu the course
of nia remarks he said he should., on afrafdre occasion
speak npon the condition of the country'and attempt to
elucidate the following propositions?!
First. A tribute to the intense spirit of nationality
which pervades all classes at the North.'
Second. Sympathy with the Northern people, and a
review of his efforts in behalf of their prosperity and
happiness, and his straggles to prevent civil war and Us
contequenihorrors. >
Third. A reiteration of hla belief that the South can
not be conquered, or be compelled to submit to a sec
ttonal Northern Government, and that even if reduced
to guerilla warfare, which is not probable, they can
hold the Southern countiy and render it valueless for
at least half a century. n *
Fourth. An exposition of the Jeffersonian principles
oi the Democracy* which cannot bp too often repeated
to the people, that they may see hbw smooth.y, ho w
harmoniously the machinery of the grand fabric of the
fathers would move on if their teachings were mfc
ignored and forgotten. '
Fifth* That the Democracy etlU behold In the proud
baontr of the Union the symbol of peace, and ttiU
lapor for a cetsatibn of hostilities, determined, if possi
ble, to rescue the sweet spirit of union ere it perish
amid the carnage and vengeance of civil war.
Sixth. Tnat ir the Southern States will return to the
Union, the Northern States, or people, will in turn re
cognize by constitutional amendment the sovereignty
and independence of the Southern States, over all
questions not expressly delegated to the General Go?
vernment.
Seventh. That thereupon the northern and Bouthoni
people ehell pledge themeeJ vee to a hearty Siippor: of
measures, peaceable or forcible, for the acquisition of
Canada, Eexico. Cuba. and the freedom of Ireland.
Sir. BLDBIDGJS. of Wisconsin, briefly gave the rea
sons why bo conld not rote for, the amendment,
a going that- it was one of tbe reserved rights
of tbe- States to control and manage their pecu
liar institutions in their own way, and desiroy'
tbe balance of power. He doubted tbe power to
amend tbe Constitution in tbe particular propostd,
and was not aware that the fathers of tbe Constitution
claimed that one-fourth of the States could he stripped
of all their rights and property at tee pleasure
of the other three-fourths. The adoption of the
amendment would afford the rebel leaders au
■ Other topic to arouse the lukewarm, raise additional
armies, and prolong the w«r, bet all amendments be
made in time of ealmmesF, in a fraternal spirit and with
kindness, with anew to the establishment of peace
and the Union in all its parts. -
Mr. KIRG. of Missouri, said if anything was left un
done. which should he done In order to restore the
hletslnas of peace ,to tue country, he was prepared to
help to do it now. He proceeded to show that slavery
has been a cause of disturbance for the last thirty years;
anc if slavery must polish the slaveholders cannot com
plain of the fact that they have-been the architect* of
their own min. Slaver) has been the means by which
the Southern leaders have wheeled into the line of in
entreotion, and for this reason it has lost toe support
and sympathy it once possessed. He repeated, slavaiy
hag been a,constant source of irritation, and in order to
secure the blessings of peace, the great Question
of its further continuance should he submitted to the
people for their decision. Hs reviewed tho political his
tory of tbe country for the paet rencriuiou to show the
progress of the slavery question and the aggressive ad
vances of the advocates and friends of that institution.
Mr. GKINBJILI,, ot lowa, Bald he was happy tofjllow
in debate a gentleman from a slave State’ (Mr. King),
and, he believed, a slaveholder, in. advocating an
amendment to the Constitution by , the adop
tion of which slavery is .to be abolished throughout
this land. He denied there is property in man. ~ Slave
ry, nos having the sanction of justice and humanity,
was standinghere as an outlaw.
Mr. FARNSWORTH, of Illinois, rose to answer the
charges or a want of constitutional power to paSB this
amendment. They came Irom the wrong side when
used by those opposed to the proposition. There never
was a highwaymen who did not regard the law which
punished him .as unjust. There was no etatntain any
State establishing slavery. It had grown up by stealth
in thebedy politic, and by usage had become familiar
ised. That which was robbery and injustice in tha be
ginning cannot by lapse of time hecome'jnst and honora
ble. ' •
Mr. MoBBIDE. of Oregon, discussed the constitutional
power.to amend the Constitution; and as to the duty of
pntting an end to slavery there was one patriotic answer
il the affirmative: “ Slavery, too long pursuing its im
moral practices, demands sentence without the benefit
of clergy."
The Bouse then adjourned.
Ajiglo-Kcbcl Pirates.
The London correspondent of the Tribune writes
as follows aboutrebel privateering in general :’
Thdse best informed on these matters think that
Semmes was recalled because the Richmond Go
vernment has been dissatisfied with him slnct the
loss of thd Alabama; that it proposes employing
him in some other branch of the naval service, as
giving him the berth of Commodore. Buchanan, or
something of the kind. But it hardly, intends aban
doning piracy.' Here is some news in corroboration:
It has recently purchased the’ Rattlesnake, a
double-Borew steamer, sister to the Tallaiiasseo, now
lying at the Victoria Doolr, at this port of liondon.
The vessel, built by Dudgeon, the great man ibr
double-screws and Government gunboats. Is very
fast, having made seventeen knots an hour. There
is no doubt she is now owned by rebel agents here.
She may be intended either for a blockade-runner
or a pirate; in the latter ease receiving her arma
ment when away from sin English port, in accord
ance with—l had almoßt said the suggestion of the
Attorney General, when defending the Government
for permitting the Georgia to take refuge in Liver
pool.
They have-also, at Mayer’s yard; Gravesend,
thirty miles down the river, and very nearly com
pleted,'the Viper, a side-wheel steamer, wide and of
shallow draught, admirably calculated for blookade
innning. The evidence Is, perhaps, less palpable
In this case than tbat of the Rattlesnake, but war
rants much more than suspicion. Perhaps the only
person beside the rebel agent thoroughly well in
formed on the'subjeot is our consul,.Mr. Morse, who
could, I imagine, write a ourious volume on the Se
cret History of British Neutrality as concerns the
limited States during the SlavehoMers’ RebeUlon.
But for that “d—d Yankee”—l am quoting,the'
eulogium passed upon him by the amiable Mason
when moved to wrath by the stoppage of the Rappa
hannock—we should have had just as many Anglo
rebel pirates afloat and preying on our commerce as
the purses of our enemies at home and abroad coaid
oompass. British maritime law is so hideously de
fective that you might almost sail a Hne-of-battle
thlp through it; only, happily, we have a zealous,
quiet,'hard-working consul to bring all the faouitioE
of his bnsy brain to bear on the subject.
Afew additional items. Sailed from Liverpool,
just two weeks' ago, the brig Babthorpe, with a oar
go of arms and ammunition ; among the former a
number of 68 and 32-pounders, sufficient Indeed to
arm and fit out two vessels. Purchased by rebel
agents; destination unknown.
The Shanghai and San Francisco; built In French
Ship-yards for the rebels, have been definitely dis
posed of to si. neutral Government,. Ourenemißß
never could get them out. They lay fit St. Nazaire,
near Bordeaux, until last week, since which time
one has departed on an honest voyage!
The rebel agent at Queenstown, one Bawling, a
naturalized American citizen, once United States
consul to that port, has been obliged to ran off in
conßcquenoe of debts and Impeouniosity. He manu
factured the charge oi “ Federal reorulting” brought
against the Kearsarge, and was very, active in get -
ting up signatures to the peace address.

The following special despatch from Mr. S. Cad
wallader,' the City Point correspondent of the New
York Herald, appeared In that paper yesterday:
.City Foiwt, Jan. B.—The news of, the Presi
dent’s Order No. l, series of 1865, removing Major
General Benjamin P. Butler from the command of
the Department of Virginia and North Carolina, Is
causing much comment; but,, so far as I ean Learn,
little or no animadversion. Whether; rightfully or
not, General Batter has for months past been losing
the confidence of- the officers of the army, until
very few will regret his departure outside of those
who swarin around and attach themselves to'those
In power. It has been General Butler’s misfortune
to appoint too‘many-of these selfish and irresponsl.
Ole persons to oflioial positions of trust and respoh
slhlllty. Their Indiscretions have often cost Mm
dearly, and aro supposed to be ta no Small degree
Instrumental in oauslng his present removal.
The ostensible grounds for depriving him of his
command are undoubtedly his 'reoent.fiascos of Wil
mington and Dutch Gap. But a mountain of dis
satisfaction him been accumulating against him for
months, on account of alleged illegal and arbitrary
arrests, imprisonments, and punishments. It is
said that many oases of glaring injustice have come
to light, and many others are expected to be, de
veloped by Mb supersedere, ■ '
■ Major General Butler Is ordered to turn over Ms ,
command, all moneys and Government property,
and the civil fund In Ms-possession, to the person
named by Lieutenant General Grant as hls tempo
rary - successor, and to proceed to'.Lowell, Mass.,.
. and to report to the War Department by letter;
Major General Edward Otho'Cressnp Ord, com
manding the 24th Army Corps, has been named the
temporary successor of Gen. Butler, and will at
once take charge of the department.
. Thus ends the military career of a distinguished
civilian general. It Is a-singular but Instructive
t fact, that no general officer has succeeded In this
war who did not possess a previous military .tralp
lng.and education, excepting a few who entered the
service with only regimental rank, and studied,
worked„and fought their way &om thenoe upward.
Without this previous knowledge or training—of
one kind or the other—all have been expensive fail
ures. Afew are yet In command. Let us hope the
day is not for distant when all inoompetents will be
removed, capable ones appointed to succeed them,
mid the country, thus strengthened and assured, let
on to victorious peace.

OnSaturday morning sixty Indians attaoked the

They also destroyed a large amount oftelegraphie

Including a principal chief, nineteen of oar sol

“ The Diario of yesterday contains an article a

three boats to capture two schooners that were
loading to run the blockade, one of which was found
empty and the other had some mahogany and to

to a heavy fire, and lost thirteen men, though -no
less Is mentioned in the article of the Diario. The
chief of the expedition is said to have been wounded,
though lam credibly informed that he was killed.
“ I have had the opportunity of conversing with
several officers recently returned firom Monte

Spain ought to abandon the conquest of the island,
which would seem to be not only the most honora

water, though this is somewhat remedied by the

SLAVERY ARD THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY*
THE FABTT MUST ABAHDOK BLAYEOT.
fFrom the Jf. Y. Ereisiiig Post of yesterday J
Tbe patriotic and sensible part 0 £.^. 8
the Democratic party—the managers of
Hall to this State,and those who act w£h ‘hat
wing of the party in other States—are giriag np
slavery. They have discovered, as did
the island, that the “allgnant creature which at
first they trnstrully took upon their backs to carry
across the river has become an unendurable ouraen,
a cruel tyrant and anlnoubus. They are casting on- *
their old man of the sea. _ . . .
Yesterday, in the House of Bepresentattves,
Messrs; Odell, of New York, and Teaman, of Ken
tucky, both Democrats of the stralghtest seat, de
clared themselves to favor of the extirpation or
slavery. Mr. Yeamansaid: “ Let the rubbish be
cleared away.” By the passage of the amendment,
he asserted,.“ politicians of both sections would be
deprived of their means of agitation, and the best
Interests of the Union served.” Mr. Odell spoke
expressly as a Democrat. He deaired to see the great
evil removed by the legal and constltntlonal method
of an amendment. He" declared that to extirpate
slavery wonld be to benefit the non slaveholders of
the South, “who will no longer struggle with, and
be degraded by, contact with slavery, but will share
to the blessings enjoyed by the honest workingmen
of theMorth.” He continued:
“ We of the Democratic party have stood by the
South to all her troubles, and have yielded our pre
indices to them i& our national conventions only to
submit to new demands to extend their system of
slavery. The South did not regard this as an evil
to be temporarily endured, but to be continued
throughout ail time. But I. in common with the
North, have always believed slavery to be wrong,
and an evil which ought to be abolished. - With this
conviction of right, when my name Is called I shall
vote in favor of the resolution. Slavery had lifted
its hydra-head above the country. The time had
eome when we, as a party, ought to unloose our
selves from Its influence.” .. * - - -
We shall print to full the speeches of Messrs.
Odell and Teaman as soon as they come to our
handa In the Globe. They were supported, to a
certain extent, by two members on the Democratic
side, Messrs. Voorheeß and Ward, who; while un
willing to vdte for the constitutional amendment,
asserted slavery to be actually-at an end. Mr.
Ward declared himself “ opposed to the readmls
slon Into the Union with the rights of slave pro
perty of any State which our triumphant armies
had subjected, but he was not willing to prolong
the war longer than was necessary to effect its legi
slate object.” Mr. Yoorhees, the leader, in the
present House, of the pro-slavery wing of the Demo
cratic party, asserted that “ the question of slavery
was rapidly diminishing in Importance, whether for
good or evil; It was passing away.”
We print to another place to-day part of an arti
cle from the New York Leader of last Saturday, the,
OTgan of Tammany Hall, to- whleh the position
taken vesterday lir (Jongross by Messrs. Odell and
Yeoman Is approved beforehand, by what we must
suppose to be the well-considered expression of the
Tammany organization. ‘ Conoerntog slavery the
leader says:
“ The Democratic party never advocated slavery
as a moral institnUon. That Is a .question which
will not admit of discussion. But slavery was a re
- cognized State right, guaranteed by the Constitu
tion as one of the compromises by which the union
of Stateß wfts formed. Being a constitutional right,
It could only be constitutionally abrogated. The
war did not abrogate it. States cannot commit
suicide, nor forfeit their oonstltutional rights by the
rebellions acts of a number of their citizens. -Indi
viduals rebel; constitutional principles remain. But
now pnbllc Sentiment is unanimously against sla
very ; the war has furnished us with the opportunity
for its legal abolition; the rebels are preparing to
do away with It, and an advantage may be gained
by forestalling them; and thus we are forced to the
conviction that the tlmo has ot me to rid the country
of this curse to a oonstltutional manner, and if just
provision be made for the remuneration of the loyal
slaveholders wherever found, we shall support the
constitutional amendment to that effect now before
Congress. Thlß Is not the Peace man’s doctrine;
hut it is sound Democratic doctrine, and Jeff Davis
has proved it such by his own words.”
The Peace men, says the Leader, “ have driven
such Democrats as John A. Dlx, Daniel E. Sickles,
John Brough of Ohio, Governor Fenton, Comptrol
ler Hobteson, Lieutenant Governor Alvord, and
others Into the ranks of our enemies.” “ The trai
tors must be thrown overboard and the true men re
called,” It continues; “we want Dlx, Sickles,
Brough, and other old Democrats baok to the
party. They are worth a thousand Vallandlghams
to patriotism and brains.”
patriotism and brains are what the Democratic
party has lacked during the last four years. A
party wheEe central and principal Idea was un
swerving and even blind fidelity to the Union air
lowed such men as Vallandigham and the Woods
high and influential places In Its councils, at a pe
riod when the Union was most violently and dau
terously attaoked. A party which, from the
eginnlng of history, had been the strenuous
advocate of State rights, allowed ttselt to
he seduced Into the bogs of virtual seces
slonlsm by the jack-o'-lantern of State sovereignty.
A party whose traditions are all to favor of the
most vigorous and relentless prosecution of war
while war lasts, took lor Its leader a general
who never attacked the enemy, and who always
thought more of the olive branch than the sword.
A party whloh has notoriously succeeded by taking
np successful men, for almost the first time to its
history adopted as Its standard-bearer a man who,
whatever his meilts, had oertalnly been unsuccess
ful. A party which has always claimed the pecu
liar and shining merit of being the workingmen’s
party, committed itself to the support or an insti
tution which robs the free workingmen of em
ployment, lessens their wages, deprives their
children of education, %nd degrades all laboring
men to the level of slaves. Finally, a party, one of
whbse cardinal principles it bps been since the for
mation of onr Government to resist every foreign in
tervention in our affairs, accepted amongstlts lead
ers men who sympathized with, If they were not
allies of, a domestic revolt which rested for success
In the outset entirely upon its hope of inducing
foreign monarchies to overthrow the Bepubllc.
More, It did not even turn out or “throw over
hoard” those leaders, bat retained them In its coun
cils, after they had secretly Intrigued with a British
minister for Intervention.
A party which thus deserted all Its most promi
nent principles and its traditional polioy, could not
Buceeed. lbs former successes insured its present
failure; the very fact that while faithful to its ori
ginal principles and policy, it ruled the country for
a long term ol years, made failure Inevitable when
it deserted the laith It had so long taught—fbr the
people had eome to prize most highly those very
principles which their leaders foolishly east away.
• The following, from the New York Deader, a lead
ing Democratic journal and the organ of Tammany
Hall, discusses the questions which now agitate and
divide the party, and does unwonted justice to some
Democrats who have been much abused for prefer
ring principle to party: ’ '
“Upon the main!question of Union or disunion
the War Democracy is equally right,'and the Peaoe
faction equally wrong. We have always held that
the North could pnt down the;rebelUon; the Peace
men have held opposite opinions. Whioh is right 1
We have always the rebellion was tbe
dying throe of aristocracy upon this continent; the
Peace men have heldjthat the rebels are the only
true representatives oi democratic principles.
Which is right 7 For an answer to these questions
read the latest extracts from rebel journals. There
we see Americans cringing to England, to France,
and even to mongrel Spain. We see the organs of
Jeff Davis .imploring an European protectorate. We
see therebels begging to be madecolonlsts of foreign
Powers. It is hard to realize that'men who were
our fellow-counttymen four years ago should be re
duced to such infamous degradation- Rather Qian
return to the Union these blood-stained traitors,
who have murdered the best men of the South, and
many of the best men of the North, now propose to
swear allegiance to England, to France, to Spain,
to any monarch under the sun who wilTglve them a
title or a bit of ribbon for their perjury. These are
the leaders with whom the Peace men have sympa
thized ! This Is the Southern Independence which
the Peace men have labored to secure! Depen
dents 0! a foreign Queen—colonists of a foreign'
Power—this is toe position coveted by Jeff Davis
and his allies, and this is the result of the efforts of
toe Peace men of toe North.
“This proposal of,the rebel leaders to’ give up
slavery, to give up toe name of Americans, to give
up everything for toe sake of the protection of
England, France, or Spain, may be indignantly
rebuked bv the masses of toe Southern people.
We hope that it'will be, and that toe leaders who
proposed it may soon swing from the gallows
they have erected for patriots. But whether the
Southern people rebuke It or not, toe Northern
people ought to find In it a new incentive to
prosecute the war with untiring vigor, and
every Peace man ought to take advantage of
this golden opportunity to range himself upon
toe side of his country. If any hesitate,. they
should be regarded and treated as of the same
stamp as those who are plotting to sou half of oar
territory to Great Britain. The Democratic party
should be purged of them.' They are unworthy
to live here and to share in our privileges. The
Peace men have done the party harm enough already.
They have caused ns to lose toe most lmportant'blec
tion in onr history. Theyhavcdriven such Democrats
as John A. Dix, Daniel i.\ Sickles, John Brough, of
Ohio, Governor Fenton, Comptroller Bobinspn, Lieu
tenant Governor Alvord, and others into the ranks of
onr enemies. They have been wrong teem the be
ginning, and now is toe last chance for them to get
right. If they refuse, toe Democratic party must
be entirely reconstructed. The traitors must be
thrown overboard and the true men recalled. We
want Dix, Sickles, Brough, Fenton, Alvord, Robinson,
and other old Democrats back into the parly. They
are worth a thousand Yallandighnms in patriotism
and in brains. Wehave let toe Republicans use our
best statesmen too long. There mast be a reunion
both of this democratic oonntry and of toe glorious
old Democratic party.” '
THE STATE.
The Railroad aooidbnt near York—'Three
Persons Killed—Mails Destroyed.—We pub
lished on Monday a special despatch announcing
too occurrence of a fatal accident on the Northern
Central Railroad, near York, on Saturday morn
ing. The following particulars Show toe affair to
have been most serloos : The Erie express train,
which left Baltimore on Friday night at eight
o’clock, and the Pittsburg express train, which fol
lowed two hours afterprere detained at Farkton by
toe derangement-of toe freight trains near that
place until Saturday morning at six o’clock, when
toe Fittshurg express train, W. H. Harrison Gould
conductor, was ordered to proceed in advance of
toe Erie express, followed by toe latter. At 7.20,
when about two miles south of York, at a place
called Hyde Station, the engineer of con
ductor Gould’s train discovered the local
freight train coming down toe track. He at
once gave toe signal for pntting down the
brakes, bfit a coluslonwas unavoidable, and the
two engines collided with a terrible crash.
They are described as having been complete
ly locked' together. The baggage and mail
cars were demolished, but the passenger oars sus
tained but little damage. The most serious part of
the accident was theMHingof Mr. Thomas Grablll,
baggage master, and two soldiers, whose names
were not ascertained, and toe Injury of Mr. Gould,
conduotor or the express train, and Wm. G. Hol
brook and Robert Lamb, two of Adams' Express
messengers, and a number of others. It !b asserted
that the local freight train had been.started from
York out of time, which was the cause of toe acci
dent. The track of the road was considerably torn
np, but a large force of workmen were set to work,
and toe trains ran-os usual on Saturday afternoon.
At the time of the ooiilsion toe three men who were
killed were In toe baggage car. Grablll was In
stantly killed, his body being mangled In a shock
ing manner; Mr. Holbrook received internal Inju
ries, but they are pronounced not of a serious cha
racter ; Mr. Lamb had one of bis feet crushed, and
received ether painful Injuries; Mr, Gould had his
face and head considerably out, but was not dan
feiously Injured. The wounded were all on Satur
aynighb, taken' to their homes in Baltimore,
as was also toe body of Mr. Grablll. Several soldiers
who were injured by the collision were also taken to
toe Patterson Park Hospital, in toat oity.
The stove in tho baggage-car communicated Are
to the mail pouches, some of whioh, together with
their contents, were entirely consumed. Thirty-six
mall pouches were taken to York, and delivered to
Postmaster Frey, who had the contents, letters and
newspapers dried, as a very violent snow and rain
storm prevailed at toe time of the collision, which
bad completely saturated a portion of toe m'ail mat
ter. Ahont twenty-flve of toe pouches were sound,
with the locks untouched, but the remainder were
in a horrid condition, having been partially burned,
and thoroughly soakeffwith water, so that toe let
ters and papers were Scattered loosely around the
scene of toe accident. They wexe, however, gather-,
ed up, and, after being dried at toe York jtost office,
were remailed. Postmaster Frey made a memo
randum ol all the very pouches, and furnished the
Post Office Department with the place of desttna
! lion o£ each, ft is said that Vilth. the exet ptiou cf a. few
pouches toe gseat bulk of toe mall was destiaed lbr
Western cities.
Treason in Olbakmsld County.— Some days
since two deputy marshals arrested two. deserters,

RELIEF FOB SAVANNAH.
Notwithstanding toe Inclemency of the weather,
a laxge and Influential number of citizens assembled
at the Board of Trade Booms, at noon, yesterday,
to devise means whereby the sufferings of the people
of Savannah might be alleviated.
The meeting organized by the selection of tlfe fol
lowing officers:
President—Et. Eev. Bishop Potter.
Yioe President—James L. Claghom, Esq.
Secretary—A T. Lane, Esq.
Upon taking toe chair, Bishop Potter stated that
he had been absent from toe city during the past
ten days, and was consequently not familiar with
toe details of the matter on hand; but, Upon the
brogd principle that it was always right to feed the
hungry asd. clothe toe naked, there eould be no
question of what duty devolves upon us now. He
hoped that some gentleman familiar with the mat
ter would make some statements relative to it that
would he of Interest, and which might forward the
ohieots of the meeting.
Mr. Steiner presented the following letter, from a
prominent alderman in Savannah:
Savannah, Dec. 29,1891.
P. Steiner Co., Philadelphia, Pa.:
Gentlemen Thank Heaven we are once more
In toe United States !
I have toe pleasure to inform yon that I am sHII
in the land of the living. I have sent yon a paper
with the proceedings of a meeting held here to-day,
which will convince you at once now toe citizens of
Savannah are disposed.
The,principal object in my addressing you is to
ask you whether you cannot get up a subscription
for toe poor and needy of Savannah, as they are
destitute of everything, and snob, a movement as
this would enshrine the Philadelphians In the heart
of every citizen of Savannah. Incase you do-some
thing, do it at once; twenty thousand people are
destitute of all you can Imagine.- “What are particu
larly necessary are bacon, flour, and potatoes.
Mr. Charles B. I’urborrow stated that from letters
which he had received from relatives In Savannah,
there was no doubt in his mind that folly 20,000 peo
ple In Savannah were In a destitute condition, and
In need of the necessaries of life. There were In that
city females who had been In opulent olrcumstanoes
who were obliged to obtain cakes from the Federal
soldiers and peddle them through the streets for a
livelihood. He knew that no opposition would be
made to whatever our citizens would do by the Go
vernment.
The proceedings of a meeting of citizens of Sa
vannah, which was presided over by Mayor Arnold,
were read from a copy of the Logoi Georgian, In the
possession of a gentleman present. (The proceed
ings of this meeting have been already published In
The Press.)
Mr. George H. Stuart said that while we had not
a particle of sympathy with secession or rebellion,
we should do all in onr power to relieve the distress
of this suffering people. It Is an act of charity, we
have been told, when onr enemies hunger to feed
them, and by so doing we will show to the people of
the South that we are not going to oppress them,
and that when they lay down their arms we are
ready to receive them back again.
Bishop Potter remarked that the resolutions of the
people of Savannah, adopted at their town meeting,
were most Important. They were not an appeal for
charity. They were an acknowledgment of the
Government of the United States, and an assertion
OI their allegiance to Its laws. He thought that
their aotlon would have a great effect with the peo
ple of the South. Wo should show them that we
have still the same affection for them that we al
ways had, and that when they lay down-their arms
we will receive them heartily. .
Hr. Beesley expressed his great satisfaction at
seeing so many present Since he had heard of the
sufferings of the people of Savannah he hoped to
have an opportunity of doin g something for them.
He knew that If the matter were properly laid before
onr citizens they would give a hearty response. We
have been commanded to feed onr enemies. Great
pains were taken In the Sonth to make the people
there believe that the North wanted to snbfagate
them. Acting towards them with kind and charita
ble feelings would be an additional Inducement for
them to return to their allegiance.
Mr. Durborrow moved that a committee of seven
be appointed, with power to Increase the number, to
solicit subscriptions for the purpose of purchasing
a ship-load ol provisions to send to Savannah.
Hr. Lloyd Smith seconded the resolution, and In
doing so he said that he had been one of a commit
tee who went to the relief of Bast Tennessee, and
he was sure that this movement would have the
happiest effect. He Instanced an officer in the rebel
army, at Chattanooga. When he heard that his
wife and children were-being fed by the United
States Government, his heart melted, and he
abandoned the rebel service. The resolution was
adopted.
Mr. W. Hunter, Jr., stated that the Coal Ex
change had already started a subscription for the
purpose of chartering a vessel to carry relief to
savannah, not being aware of any other movement
for that purpose having been begun. He-supposed
that the two movements could be concentrated.
Mr. Claghom moved that the committee he re
quested to prepare an appeal to the citizens of Phila
delphia to aid the suffering people of Savannah.
Carried. The meeting then adjourned.
The committee, as organized after the adjourn
ment of the meeting, was composed of the following
named gentlemen: ..
Wm. Hunter, Jr„ ' Cadwalader Biddle,
A. G. Oattoll, - ... Joseph F. Page,
-S Vaughn Merrick, - Edward S, Clark,
C. B. Durborrow, A T. Lane,

THE TESTIMONIAL TO MBS. GENERAL GRANT.
The Inquirer of Monday makes the following mis
statement, which has been copied Into some of the
New York papers:
“An article published In a New York dally, and
copied in several of the journals of this city, to the
effect that Mrs. Gen., Grant has been presented, by
a committee of gentlemen of this oity, with a
splendid residence, and even stating the location of
the same, Is an entirely premature announcement.
It is tone that a number of Influential gentlemen
have It In contemplation to offer some substantial
token to General Giant or bis family of their ap
preciation of the mighty work he Is engaged in, and
which he is fast bringing to a successful Issue; but
nothing of a definite character baa yet boon decided
upon, and no official correspondence has taken
place In reference to the matter.”
We know that correspondence of a very definite
character has passed, and that a house, lot, and
furniture has been presented and accepted.

The Three Remedies.
“ Sciences Pulmonic Syrup,” for the t K
Coughs, Colds, Bronohltis, and every lorm of c
sumption. The peculiar action of this ad
ripens the ulcers in the lungs, promotes ti
charge of the corrupt matter by expectorate,
lilies the blood, and thus cures Consnmptta,-
every other remedy falls.
“Schench’s Sea-Weed Tonic,” for the is
Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, and au diseases as
from debility. This tonic invigorates the ihi
organs, supplies the place of the gastric juice t
that Is deficient, and then enables the patiea:
digest the most nutritious food. It is a sores!
remedy for all cases of indigestion.
“ Schenek’g Mandrake Pills,” one of the
valuable medicines ever discovered, being'
table substitute for calomel, and having all tie.
fnl properties ascribed to that mineral, without jt
duclng an; of its injurious effects.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Sehemt
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success Is
treatment of Pulmonary Consumption. lit
monlc Syrup ripens the morbid matter, dissts
it, and pnrifies the blood. The Mandrake Pills a
upon the liver, remove an obstructions tlertla,
give the organ a healthy tone, and cure tire; c-m
-plaint, which is one of the most prominent isssss
of Consumption. The Sea Weed Tonic indjtsi'
the powers of the stomach, and by strengfat
-the digestion andhringingit to a normal and bed
condition improves the quality of the Wood,
which means the formation of ulcers or tn
cles in the lungs becomes impossible. The combi
action of these medicines, as thus explalaal, »
cure every case of consumption, if the remeit
are need in time, and the use of them is personae
in sufficiently to bring the case to a favorable »
