mingle "religion'' ami politics," nor to make
the" Chronicle the medium of party strife.' - We
have higher and holier motives. Wc are ap

past divisions; a contest ' wholly -unlike any
which has! preceded it in the annals of the
country a contest 'J involving high moral Ls
snos, in which the Christian Sentinel of the
nation must be pre-euiihent a contest ; in
which men who have", been the' political anti
podes of each other, must s'.andr-side by side
arid battle for the right a coutest, iu whieh is
to be decided 'lor all future time the ? great
question, whether the- domain of slavery is to
be extended, and its blight entailed upon terri
tory where the slave foot has not made its im
print, where .'tho sound ot the . slave-driver's
lash has not polluted the t ree air of heaven. ;
Wo are very well aware that many good men
will, at first thought, be deterred from: enter
ing upon this strife- as 'their hearts would
prompt them, and 1 heir judgments guide them,
from the fear of being - stigmatized. But we
must, if need be, bear the reproach which op
probrious appellations arc designed to convey ;
we must rise above the paltry considerations
of petty annoyances, and go forward "through
evil as well as through goo l report." f--i

Said tlie Scythian ambassadors to Alexan
der. "It your person were as vast as your am
bition the world would not contain you." Wo
have now in our midst a conqueror whose am
bition is as boundless as Alexander's. ' The old
world was too narrow a sphere for its exercise,
and he has sought the new.' We refer to Pro
fessor Holloway, whoso desire is to benefit
mankind; unsated by tho countless cures bis
medicines have accomplished,he is now active
ly engaged in rcvo'.ationizing the treatment of
disease in this country. 'Conquest and subju
gation are his objects the conquest and sub
jugation of the varions" maladies '.hat afflict
the hsinan raco. - The trophies of bis skill aro
'trt be found in every region of. the earth, for
hi.-i remedies are omnipotent, and wherever
they have penetrated, disease has given away
to their hygeian influence. Probably taero
are not half a dozen newspapers in existence
that have not l-orne volnutary testimony to i-'ui
wonder-working eincacy of Holloway 's Pills
and Ointment. It has heretofore been tho uni
versal complaint against even the most popu
lar medicines, that they were mere palliatives,
relieving pain temporarily, perhaps, but novcr
reaching the "materies morbi," or element of
disease in the blood. Holloway 'a Pills, on tb
contrary, ?ict specifically upon the primary
cause of the malady in the fluids of the body,
and from which they spring. In external dis
ease the Ointment is used as an auxiliary to
the Pills, and its sanative elects are scarcely
loss wonderful. " ' -
