Under this - startling caption, we have
it announced, in large letters, that a
number of leading Secessionists are now
in Canada 'whose business, we are as
sured, hy l Atriend the war and secure the
triumph , 1 4kf. , the Deniocratic party."
How theseAesirable• objects are to be
obtainek ;the framers of the story failed
to comnirtnicate. The person of partic
ular n4ta,',lvhose presence in this gath
ering attracts most attention, is Mr.
JACOB THOMPEON, Secretary of the In
rerior under Mr. BUCHANAN; and he is
made to ', : . figure extensively in the
"plots"-,alluded; to, merely because he
once °Coupled an Important position
under :1412yetrtocratic Administration.
But in triing to palm this sensation
upon the people,, there was no necessity
in giving undue importance to JAKE
THOMPSON, IteCaUSe he was a member
of BUCkARAR'S Cabinet. If that was
the cause of his becoming a rebel it was
a fatal misfortune to him, and grieveous
ly has he answered it. His large for•
tune, estimated at a million of dollars,
when the rebellion began, is all gone
from hint: • But Tnowsox's connection
with the Administration in question,
was not the cause of his joining the Se
cessionists; if k¢ watt, it should have
similarly operated upon his colleagues.
There is Gen. JOHN A. Dr; whose loy
alty noone doubts, who was a member
of BucTrissit's Cabinet; there, too, is
STANTON. another of the same Cabinet.
There JOSKPIC HOLT, BUCHANAN'S
Postmaster General and afterwards Sec
retary of. War, and there is Horwrio
KING, who succeeded Hoer as
Postmaster General. These four
gentlemen, were all members of
the A.dthtnistration of Mr. BUCEIANAN
and noi - i'Althy, all hold important posi
tious under the present dynasty. From
these facts the moat intense Abolitionist
must admit,. that there was nothing
contaminating in the mere connection
of Darn TnompsoN with our govrenment
at the time he was at the head of the
Interior-Department.
This point being gained, we :lo nut
see that, TROMPHSON'S presence in Cana
da is of any great importance. He has
taken no active part in the rebellion,
and he hi - one of the last men in the
South in whom Jim. Davis would con
fide. His having been aU. S. Cabinet
officer loves him no importance, what
ever, in the estimation of DAVIS; SO
that the_whole story, concerning his
business in Canada, is merely an Aboli
tion invention. We do not, of course,
deny fhitt - he is in Canada, but so are
hundreds stf., others similarly situated.
But uptm the very heels of this story
about TiEOUPSON being intrusted with
peace PiOpotsitions, we have another of
an entirely opposite character, and, of
course a± =fabrication, also; it is now
going then:lands of the Abolition papers,
and was published in yesterday's Pitts
burgh Commercial. It is to the effect
that a Col- Jacongs of 111. and one ED •
IEOND King—of New York, lately got a
letter fr i om President astccutt. to Gen,
GRANT t. ytikich ,secured their passage
through our lines, and their safe arrival
in Richniond. Safe in the rebel capital,
these two worthies were nicely and
sumptMiMily, entertained. They had
several:.: interviws with JEFF Davis,
whom they report to be in excellent
health li a . , nd spirits, looking like one
who worild live to see three score
and ten .• years, at least Col.
— . Jacqunst reports that he found the
rebel P e r". dent "Incorrigible," so much
so as to, usapress him with the conviction
that there is. no l!hope of reconciliation."
Devia *c . eati3d Pthese gentlemen kindly;
after whYch Ihey speedily returned to
W,ashiniton, to communicate the result
of theiijouiney to our Administration.
'lf Rai Dews is :`incorrigible," so
much Bo as.to impress JacQuEs with the
conviet44: that there are r "no hopes of
reconciliation," how is it that JAKE
Tnotcramds to Canada with proposi-
done or peace? The Abolition fabrica-
tors of Abase stories should be more care
ful in their details. JEFF DAVIS IS fix
ed, "incorrigibly;"' upon the seperation
and independence of the South, so we
are infetrmed by JACQUES, while another
iloyal'g i supporter of the Administra
tion tells[ us that JAKE THOM:PBON is in
Canada °with propositions to bring the
secedesr,l3titelf' back into the Union.

UNMASKING OURSELF
The Commercial with rare sagacity,
has at length discovered that the Post
is unmasking itself, awl comments in
this way upon it:
If Mr. Litvc.u.s is all wrOng, .711 PIT DAVIS
must be all rig't. Why don't you say so
neighbor, and in done with itl You mean it,
"r you would manifest a little more sympathy
for the iloverament that protects you.
This Commercial man's brain Is soften
;ng;"the weather is too hot for him.
JEFF Davis is a traitor to the °govern
ment, and A.IIRAHANf LINCOLN is a tri
fling political gamester, unfitted for the
position he occupies He has pervert
ed our struggle for national unity, into
one for negro emancipation, whicfp has
prolonged the rebellion, a crime little
less in magnitude than DAVIS' open trea
sun. These being our present convic
tions regarding LINCOLN and DAVIS,
the Commercial will, at once, perceive
that there is not much likelihood of our
being complimentary to either.
As to the protection which the govern
ment affords lld, we do not feel under
any obligation for it to Mr. LINCOLN.
In this respect his Excellency and we
are upon a perfect equality: the same
national constitution and laws protect
us alike, the only difference between
us is that we obey the Constitution and
the laws, while he clairds the right to
violate them whenever he sees proper
to do so. From this the Commercial
will see that instead of LlNcout being
•`wrong" and "DAVIS right," we con
sider them both wrong and speak ac
cordingly.
- -
WANTS THE PROOF,
The Gazette calls upon us to prove that
President LINCOLN said, after visiting
Gan. GRANT, that-the latter did not need
"another man." The -first thing that
strikes us, in this connection is, our
neighbor delaying its call for proof, un
til the present time—iome five or six
weeks after the speech in question was
delivered. a Onr proof is to be found in
the reports of Mr. LiNcoui's saying,
after returning from seeing GRANT,
which were telegraphed by faithful Ab
olition correspondents, to the leading
Abolition papers of the country. I f the
Gazette will look back, it may find it in
its own columns. Had our neighbor
asked for the speech a month or so ago,
we might have been able to tell precisely
where to find it; but as we do not file all
the jokes and nonsense of Mr. LINCOLN,
we cannot at present undertake to
search for it. That the President made
the remark is notorious enough—if we
can believe Abolition correspondents.
But why does our neighbor, at this late
day call for proof of a thing which has
never been denied. Is the call for an
other:half million of men, notwithstand
ing the confident assurance in question,
beginning to operate upon our neigh
bor's sensibilities? It looks so, which
is a strong indication of "things having
commenced working."
The Peace Movement
The peace movement is rapidly gain
ing ground throughout the entire coun
iry, both North and South. The peo.
ple are not so sanguine for the continu
ation of this unhappy struggle as they
were in the beginning. They express a
manifest unwillingness on their part to
raise men and money in order to pros
ecute the war any further, in fact they
are tired of suffering any longer the
vainful influences which accompany
such a gigantic civil struggle as the one
in which we are now engaged, and
whose magnitude was never before
equalled since the world was created.
Both parties are anxious for peace, and
it would be difficult to determine on
which side it is mostly desired. The
North and South commenced this terri
ble war without . considering the evil
consequences which would attend it,
and both were equally lavish in their ex
penditures, and their gigantic prepara
tions for the vigorous continuation
thereof. They both are now grieving
over their impetuosity, and mourning
over their bravest and most energetic
citizens, whose bones now whiten the
plains of Virginia, , and whose efforts,
united with our own, would have raised
this country to a standard of wealth
and glory unprecedented in the annals
of kingdoms, empires, and republics.
True it is that we have astonished) the
world with our warlike energy, and at
tracted the admiration of all Europe
through the immense resources which
we have displayed during the war, but
what benefit do we gain by this, or can
we contemplate this fact with any real
complacency, while so many thousands
of our brave men are no more, and
while we ourselves are taxed beyond
endurance% No we have accomplished
nothing worth a serious consideration
during this war, and therefore are we
tired of it, and can barely refrain from
expressing our disgust at the idea of
prosecuting it any longer. Even Mas
sachusetts which at first was so sanguine
for war, and for the abolition of slavery
throughout .the Union, is now crying
for peace. We desire the restoration of
the Union, if it is possible to obtain it,
but the experience of three years spent
in vain is a convincing argument for us
to be guided by on that score. The
country is loud in its cryings for peace,
and this it must have in spite of the
Administration with all its Abolition
theories.
An order has been issued recently
from the War department, and promul
gated to the army in regard to the term
of service of officers. It runs as fol
lows:
"No musters of officers for a less
term than three' years will be recogniz.
ed by this office, and if; . upon the ex
piration of the term of service of a reg
iment, the services of the officers are re
quired, they will be retained for three
years from the date of their last muster
, 11
By this order all officers whose ability
or meritorious conduct have secured
them promotion are to be 'retained 'rude
'finitely in the United States service.
Although we do not symp, tuze in a
great degree with the unfortunate officers
who have according to their OWEI state
tuents refuse promotion on account of
the above order, nevertheless we think
that men who have faithfuly served their
country for a certain period should after
that period had exdired be permitted to
return to their peaceful homes, if it be
their wish to do so. But an officer who
avoids elevation in rank on Illeoxl:fave
grounds is not our beau ideal ciett -, ry
hero. However we do not : 611kiihat
some benifits may be gained. dirsiugh
this order, because fewer commissions
will be obtained for a consideration,. and
Alms they will be left open to,the
brave soldiers and men who follow tne);
sea profession, , and by that means a

THE POST-PITTSIDERGB, lil A MORNING, LY
The Late George P. Morris
A telegraph despatch announced,some
days ago, the death of George P. Mor•
ris, well known in this country and in
Europe, as apoet and a man of letters,
and as a cvltivated and genial gentle
man, who particularly excelled in belle
lettres and light literature.
Mr. Morris was born in Philadelphia
in 1802. He went to New York in eat ly
life, and ertramenced the publication of
the miror newspaper in 1823 in connec
tion with Saint. Woodworth. He pur
sued this hutiness until 1842, his column
being enriched by the contributions of
such writers as Bryant, Paulding. Hal
leek, and HOffman, together with Fay,
Willis, Cox, and Eppes Sargent. When,
in 1863, the Mirror was revived, N. P.
Willis was associated with Gen. Morris,
and this literary and business partner
ship has been continued in the Home
Journal, after the Mirror was sold, until
death brought it to an end. The Home
Journal was:commenced &Om the Na
tional Press in 1846. In his character as
an editor Mr. Morris has always com
manded respect for his fact and judg
ment, as well as for the good taste and
delicacy which he has shown.
Mr. Morris is more widely known as
a poet, however, than as an editor. His
writings have not been characterized
by those traits which command respect
and popularity. He wrote an opera
libretto for the "Maid of Saxony" in
1842; the •`Deserted Bride" in 1853; the
"Song Writers of America," "National
Melodies," "Prose and Poetry of Eu
rope and America," (in connection with
Willis,) "The little Frenchman and his
Water Lots;" and some minor things.
Besides the above he has penned several
other poems, which have been published
in various Darius. The two compositions
by which he is most largely known, and
on which host lasting reputation will
rest, are entitled "Woodman, Spare that
Tree"—a beautiful ballad, which enjoys
an European as well as an American
reputation—and "Near the. Lake where
drooped the Willow." Both of these
compositions breathe the pure spirit of
ballad poetry, and will live durably in
English literature. —Philadelphia Amer.
New York vs. Pennsylvania.
The city Of New York, which, during
the war has been the center place of vol
unteering, under the late Presidential
call is doing hut poorly- Great efforts
were being made in order to organize
new militia regiments, or till the old
once, but all in vain. New York is los
ing a great pan of the energy which she
manifested .at first, and the emigrants
who laud by thousands every week at
Castle Garden, are becoming more wary
than formerly, and in place of being en
rolled into the volunteer regiments, and
swindled by cunning bounty brokers out
of their money, they now replace those
who have volunteered during . the war, or
else come and settle in the West, where
they can have good wages and labor in
abundance. Thus it is that the New
York gentry arc left to themselves to till
their quotas, and see the effects! Alter
all their effort:; they could hardly raise
a regiment for the hundred day's ser
vice, and the regiments that they did
raise are so very slender, and so remark
ably thin in numbers, that one regiment
is composed ot about an average it three
or four hundred men, that is to say
three full companies. Yet these are the
men who have been sneerint , at Penn
sylvanians since the raid commenced.
Our quotas were always tilled, not by
emigrants lately landed, but front our
naturalized citizens, and the drain upon
our State has been great, and the far
met s are so scarce of hands that they are
obliged to offer large inducements in
order to procure any. Nevertheless our
quota is already filled in a short time,
and we have done bettet than New
York can expect to do for sonic time.
With this consideration before them,
how can they any longer reproach Penn
sylvania with dil.•etonness in volun
teering? They had better turn their
minds to something else, if they wish to
avoid the draft.
Pennsylvania Farmers
We cannot hut feel indignant at the
sneers thrown at the f''nu-ylvanians in
general, and the Farmers in particular,
since the recent rebel invasion of our
borders. Such sneers are unjust, and
generally come from men who can see
no farther than to make the first step,
while they pas; over everything else,
either because their spleen will not al
low them to scrutinize and distinguish
the causes from the effects, or because
they have not intelligence enough to do
so. Such men represent the Pennsvl
rania farmers as a herd of panic-strick
en sheep, fleeing before the roaring lions
of Dixie. Listen to one of them : "The
flight of tLe Pennsylvania Farmers be
fore a few scattered bodies of rebels who
might have been easily beaten by a reso
lute company of armed men, has pro
duced serious damage in the State."
This is not a correct statement, and even
if it were so, who is to blame ? Are a few
peaceable unarmed farmers, scattered
over the borders of our State to be found
culpable because they had to save their
lives and property through flight from a
horde of desperate guerrillas ? Or is the
Administration to blame, which through
its negligence was the real cause of the
raid, which opened the Cumberland Clap
to accommodate them with an easy pas
sage, and which left Martinsburg ex
posed with three million dollars worth
of stores, in order not to disappoint their
raiding propensities? Or what are all
our men doing that our national capital
cannot be menaced with attack, with
out issuing proclamations without num
ber, and creating such intense excite
ment, after three years' experience of
rebel warfaxe?
The Petroleum Production and
the Atmosphere
If we arc to credit the statements of
gentlemen whose intelligence and prac
tical experience entitle their opinions to
the highest respect, the production of
the oil wells. in this region is consider
ably effected by the atmosphere.
We arc told that the proportion of
oil produced from a well is far greater
during the prevalence of wet weather,
when the atmosphere is heavy, than in
dry weather, when the atmosphere is
comparatively light.
The reasons given for this is, that the
pressure from the heavy atmosphere
-upon the earth forces up the oil to the
surface from its hidden depths. It is
stated in proof of this that both flowing
and pumping wells produce more during
the night, than in the same length of
time in daylight, when the weather is
is dry.
While neither affirming nor denying
our belief in the views of the gentlemen
advocating these ideas, the experience
01 last summer and this, would seem to
toe in favor of the theory iitlduced
During the last summer, the wells gave
out more rapidly than they have this.
But during the hill, the production was
considerably augmented. This increase
was fully maintained until the dry weath
er of the present season. In the absence
of reliable data, we are content merely
to advance the jauggeetion as stated to
us, in the hope that some practical scien
tific mind Will investigate the matter,
rand lay the results before the public
DU- City Regioter.

Queer Names in the. New York
Directory,
A writer in the N. Y. Post says: In
the former articles on names in the Now
York -Directory, for 1804, there was a
real or fanciful connection of the name
with humanity, direct or indirect. Oth
er names of frequent occurrence in the
Directory refer to,or are associated with
animated nature.
The following are connected with the
domestic animals; Herd, Bull, Bullock,
Ox and Steer; the English word Cow
does not occur, hut Vache, its corres
ponding French word, does; Colt, Steed,
Katt, Hogg, Lamb and Kidd, and the
meats, Vitale., Bacon and Rialbtleisch;
and of dogs we find Pointer and Spaniel.
Wild animals are also found: Deer,
Stagg, Buck and Roe; Lyon, Bear, Wolf
and Fox; Badger, Lynch, Beaver, Mink,
Hare, Coon, Ratt, Mole, and the apoc.
ryphal animal of the olden time, Griffin.
The names of birds are still more nu
merous: Duck, Drake and:Goslina; Cock,
Hen; Swan, Goose and Teal; Phoenix,
Eagle, Hawk; Lark, Thrush, bparrnw,
Starling, Wren- Crow, Raven, Dew;
Snipe, Crane, Heron, Stork; Pidgeon,
Dove: Batt, Grouse, Partridge, Quail,
Robin, Peacock, Fowle, Bird Wing,

geon, Haddock, Seal, Bass, Salmon,
Mackrell, Herring, R iy, E.-ls, Killey,
Pike, Trout, Goldfish, Seeker and Leach;
Finn, Gill, Roes, Shells.
There are but few names connected
with insects: Bees, Roach, Moth and
Grub; and the only one that bears a re
semblance in sound to any species of
snake is Adder not er , ppdrhead.
Turning from animated nature we
find some names that address them
selves to the senses of seeing and hear
ing. The following arc connected with
color: White, Black, Brown, Green,
Blue, Gray, Scarlet, Violet, Canary,
Wine, Blanc, Dunn. The following re
late to music: Organ, Piano, Harp,
Viol, Fife, Flute, Horn and Drum.
The martial tone of the last names
leads to other names that connect
themselves in the mind with the war.
Of these are Armer, Lance, Pike, Spear,
Dart, Bow, Shield, Swords, Dirk, Hilt,
Gun,Cannon, Flag and Banner. It will
be noticed that they icier to a class of
weapons superseded by the powerful ap
pliances of modern warfare.

"Rally Around the Flag Boys."
This is the favorite motto of the Loyal
Leaguers throughout the country. It is
their "battle cry" for carrying elections
by fraud, and in secret conspiracies
against Democrats. By such "catch
words,' they have made some honest
people believe they were sincere in their
4levotion to the country, when in fact
they have proved to he only a secret con
clave to perpetuate in power a rotten,
corrupt Administration, and to proscribe'
all who will not subscribe to th- infalli•
bility or "c:tpering•Old Abe,"
The time has come, Mi..% ever, when
these blatant demagogues can have au
opportunity to "rally around the flag"
in a sense that really means soinethin
Let this oath bound organization of "ex
clusive4,' hasten to the front, the oppor
tunity is zoo*, and their Chief is sup
posed to be in danger. They are bound
by their solemn orgies to stand by each
other in opposing Democrats at home,
I now let them "right flank" by Lodge,
and • march against the rebels But
these mock patriots will do no sth h
thing They will cowardly hide behind
their lodge emblems, and sneak :May
under cover of their dark lanterns, anti
brazenly denounce Democrats for not
going to fight the battles they have in
vited, while they remain at home to en -
joy their fat offices, and line their pockets
front t h e earnings 0: an over taxed peg
plc
"Itally around the Hag, b"ys." Go,
Leaguers, like men into the ranks, and
show that you are sincere in your pre
, tendons. If you believe in the Procla
mations and the rotten borrougt system,
and all the other new tangled theories
upon which the war is prosecuted, vol.
unteer by organizations and tune up
your battle songs on the field.
In nearly every Republican paper we
take up, these catch words are displayed
to drum up the taithful to the lodge
room, and humbug the people with the
idea of "exclusive loyality " The flag is
safe enough here—the place to rally
around it is at the post of danger. On
ward, Leaguers, to the rescue, or prove
youiselves in the classic language of
Ilealy, "a band of sneaks. "—Albany A r
Neutrality in Kentucky
Kentucky will soon be entirely in the
hands of the Confederacy. That State
through the neutrality which it presery
ed during this long and bloody struggle,
has suffered more and contended with
more difficulties than any other State in
the Union. Its neutrality was not of
that sort, which deters the citizens from
aiding or abetting either party in the
war for the restoration of the Union,
and the Abolition of slavery, on the
contrary the inhabitants were allowed
to embrace the principle of either con
tending party,so that some Kentuckians
sided with the rebels while others de
fended the old flag. This arose from
the general Union sentiment prevailing
throughout that State, and their dislike
to fight for the freedom of slaves at the
risk of their own lives. In this manner
was the State drained of more troops
comparatively than any contending
State. There was a law once enforced
in Greece that no citizen could observe
neutrality during a public dispute, and
it would be fortunate for Kentucky if
such law were observed within her bor
ders,las they certainly would not have
suffered one half of what they suffer at
present. Fxposed to rebel invasions on
one side, and fettered by martial law
on the other, that State is truly unfor
tunate. The liberty of the press which
is preserved both North and South, is
here placed under severe restrictions,
thus it is that Kentucky in place of
gaining by its neutrality, has lost its
most essential and precious pledge of
freedom and Republican right. Add to
thisothat vast numbersof Union families
from that State are now daily leaving
their dear homes to settle north of the
Ohio river, owing . .to the unsettled con
dition of affdrs in that State, and then
say how long do you think that Ken•
tucky will maintain such vain neutral
ity.
GARIBALDI having opportunely found
out that the air of England was not ben
eficial to his health, has most wisely left
that country, and is now at the head of
15,000 volunteers, who have their head
quarters at Palermo, Sicily. It is stated
that with thilforce.he intends marching
on Rome, to free it from what he calls
clerical despotism, and restore it to the
Irkited Italian-Kingdom, ,under Victor
Emanuel, of Sardinia. Garibaldi is in,
principle a Reptiblican,, 04 has never
sincerely agreed with the latter soy
-ereign in politidel opinions, and it will

satlie this matter. If the .French mean

aewdfronitliii tntrt of the continent.

THE -MONITOR C"NTRACTORS AGAINST
THE NAVY I)EPARTIIENT.—A conference
has recently been held by the contrac
tors of the light-draft monitor iron -clads,
lately in course 01 construction under
the superintendence f Chief Engineer
Stimers. IVork on these vessels has
liven -.topped he the Navy Department,
ing itlieged that they are very sig
nal t., tore:. and Ord further expendi
ture 01 money upon them would be
money wasted. The contractors, it
siza4n , , are unable to obtain the money
due them for work actually performed
in accordance with the plans furnished
by the department's authorized agent,
and they have come together to consider
the matter, and if possible, obtain relief.
The meeting which took place at the
Metropolitan Hotel, was strictly private

A SINot•t.AR CoxrEsr.—Two gentle
men of high birth, the one a Spaniard
and the other a German, having ren•
dered Maximilian 11. many services,
they each, for recompense, demanded
his natural daughter, Helena, in mar
riage. The Prince, who entertained
equal respect for them both could not
give any preference, and after much de
lay, told them that from claims they
both had to his attention and regard, he
could not give his assent for either to
marry his (laughter, and they must de
cide it by their own prowess and ad
dress; but as he did not wish to risk the
loss of either or both by suffering them
to fight with offensive weapons, he had
ordered a large bag to be brought, and
he who was successful enough to put
his rival into it, should obtain his daugl
ter. This strange combat between two
gentlemen was in the presence of the
whole imperial court, and lasted half an
hour. At length the Spaniard yielded
to the German, Andre Ethnarp, the
Baron of Tetherd, who, when he had
got his adversary into the bag, took him
on his back, and placed him at the Em
peror's feet, and on the following day
married ibe beautiful Helena.
A MEETTNii of the Assoeiatien of Dis
contented Wives was held recently in
Chicago, at which the following pream
ble and resolutions were adopted :-
Whereas, Our husbands have found it
impossible to transact their legitimate
business in daylight, and have been
driven to the necessity of having and
maintaining a "Second Board," the ses
sions of which sometimes continue from,
nightfall until daylight in the morning ;
therefore,
/?evotyrd That vt e sympathize deeply
with our husbands in their misfortunes ;
that after mature deliberation we have
arrived at the conclusion that it is im
possible for us to transact our legitimate
business in daylight, such as shopping,
hearing the latest gossip, eto, and
Resolved, That we form a Second Board
also.
The members of the Second Board
(male class) will observe by the above
resolutions that the ladies are taking ac•
tive measures to keep pace with Ibis
progressive age. A Second Board of the
ladies is of the utmost importance, and'
will doubtless be productive of as much
good as the one which has its sessions
in the saloon of the Sherman House.
THE new Secretary of. the Treasury
had to encounter great difficulties in the
commencement of his new career.
-Among the rest there was one of a very
serious nature, which had to be sur
mounted. The mills for printing green-t
backs did not work by any means as
fast as it was found necessary, and the
greenbacks which could lie daily fur
nished from the mills, could hardly -.pay
the troops in the field. This was a se
rious difficulty, faster mills than these
should have been invented in order to
meet the exigencies of our Administra
tion, and none but a Copperhead would '
think that three or four million dollars
per diem would be sufficient to defray
the expenses of our great nation... T o.
the new Secretary of the Treasury was
obliged to negotiate a loan with the
New York bankers, and we are happy
to say that he succeeded beyond expect= -
ation, so that fifty million of dollars .
were obtained without much diffienityl .
This amount would defra) , all irri*i

expel the poisons which threaten life.
Every time a sick person is purged by this vege
table remedy; he has less vitiated humors and
more life and vigor, as any one can prove by
taking a single dose. Persbns of spare habits
gain flesh and strength while using them. Every
time we rest a few days or weeks from the pur
gation, we make new fluids from our food,
which replace the unsound ones that the Pills
have caused to be evacuated. Each time we
repeat this process, we expel fe,rther quantities
of impurities, which are again replaced by fluids ,
less end less impure, so that in a short time, by
continuing this treatment,' we bring back the
whole mass of fluids or htimors to that state
of purity /which constitutes health, for Bran
