IMPORTANT FACTS.
R. LEIDY'S Sarsaparilla Blood Pills areapplioa
ble in all cases, whether for Purgatives of Pu
rifiration, They possess all the boasted virtues of
-ether pills, and are additionally efficacious, oontaining
•Sarsaparilla in their composition, which is notcon.ain
,el in any other pills in existence. They are also dif
ferent from other pills in composition, being purely
vegetable, and can be employed at all times, without
any linger, and requiring no restraint from occupation
'r usual course of living.
Notwithstanding Dr. Leidy never pretended his
Blood Pills would cure all diseases, yet it is not saying
too much of them, from the innumerable cores perform
ea by them in every variety and form of disease (cer
tificates of many of which have been published from
persons of all denominations, physicians, clergymen,
.and others) that they seem to be almost universal in
their effect; and persons using them for whatever sick
ness or disease, may rest assured that they will be found
more efficacious than any other pills in existence.
From the known reputation of Dr. Leidy's Blood
Pill, it is necessary to remind the public where they
can at all times procure the genuine, as it is attempted
to impose other pills, called the 'Blood Pills' upon the
public on the reputation of Dr. Leidy's. W'Bepar

THlSpleasant and certain cure for coughs and
colds goes ahead of all the preparations now or
ever offered to the public. The use of it is so great that
the proprietor has some difficulty in keeping a supply
for the increasing demand. Medical agencies, groce
ries, druggists-coffee houses, and even bars on steam
boats, keep a supplyon baud. It is called for every
where, and will sell in any place. The reason is this
every one who has a cough or cold by eating a few sticks
find themselves cured, as it were, by magic. Persons
at a distance, by remitting the money, post paid, to the
subscriber, will be attended to. For sale by the single

of Illinois, delivered in Congress during the hut eft
siun. The speaker is far enough removed, from the;
'
i scene of that contest.to be able to judge candy of
i facts, and to present them impartially:
.",
"In 1663, Charles 11, King of England, granted
charter under which the late government of Rhode I
land was organized. lie granted it, according ts
terms, to certain of lifs - "trusty and well-beloved!' '.*‘
jects;" and, for the purpose of imparting life and
don to the corporation, appointed, of his "royal win, .-
Benedict Arnold, governor of the cerpinatlari ihte, ii .
lieutenant governor, and ten assistents, who, to
with a specified number of mum s to be chosen • ".
odically by the freetnen of the company. were charted
with the management of its husiaess; foe. it was no.
thing more than a mere landed corporation.
"[Here Mr Cranston asked what Benedict Arnold
wasreferred to.
"'Mr Mt:C said, not the one of revolutionary mem
ory.
" Ihe right of suffrage I. restricted by the charter ..
to such persons as the oumpany, by their constituted.
authorities, shall adroit to be members and/ream*
of the company. To tame others, (*heath regained
to pay taxes, and to do minter" duty , is permitted that -
right. This restriction of suffrage, together with the
increase of population. had so widened the dispropors
lion of the freemen and non.ffeemen. according to tile
classificati on of the people, that, in 1841, the general
assembly was elected and controlled by a number el
towns containing less than one-third of tbepopuhttion
of the State. In some instances, the inesuality was:
extreme; as. for exampie, the town of Yottemouth,
with 1,700 inhabitants, elected the same number or
representatives as the city of Providence with 23475'
inhabitants. Three agricuhuritl towns, whom tallittld.-
population amounted to but 1,805, elected the MAID,
number of representatives as three other agricultural:
towns whose population amounted to 18,848. Thli
inequality of representation and • unjust and tiyadins'
restriction of suffrage, had been • cause of dimatisfactil
don and complaint for nearly forty years before opea
'collision took place between the two partielt In 1811,
a bill to extend the right of suffrage te ail who paid
taxes, or performed military duty, was passed by a
democratic Senate, but was lost in a chartist H .
of Representatives. ausa
"in 18 29-'34-'4O, and '4l, the people in verbs* _
ways repeated their appeals to the.therter authorities '-
in favor of the eatension of the right of suffrage and a ii. , .
free constitution, but in train. 'their supplications . .
were not heard, but were treated witgeontempt. Dose '''
