VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL FILLS.
T Is generally known that my Grandfather was the
. original inventor of these remarkable pills.
Ho wns a scientific man. and a medical nruclitioner
oi tne uiu acnooi. i,nt necommg alarmed at me mor
tality that iitteii.il -J the Itleeding and Mineral Prac
tice, he turned his attention to the studv of natiirouud
the philosophy of disease, as also to tho natural reme-
uuii hl-ihb which ue iuuiiii hi exist exclusively in uio
Vegetable Kingdom. In bis researches und investi
gations, he became fully satisied that the life was In
the blood; that by whatever name diseases were dis
tinguished, impurity of the blood was the source of
all a simple and truthful doctrino, which, in reducing
all diseases to a unit, necessarily 'established the fact
that all were to be treated on the same general prin
ciples, viz: by purgation.
Now the irruiid dilllcnltv consisted In devising a veg
etable compound thut would invigorate, purify, and
cleanse the blood, correct and regulate all the dilt'or
ent secretions, and by purgation discharge the whole
mass of morbid matter from the body, without reduc
ing the strength. After thirtv vciii-b of close applica
tion, he considered his object fullv accomplished in
the production oi those nills. which have now been
before the public Olio Hundred and Fourteen Yeurs,
and it is now (lHtio) nearly III years since Dr. iJrim
droth's Vegetablo Universal Lifo Preserving Pills
were first presented lo the American public during
which time their superior excellence and virtues have
been extensively proclaimed bv natters and nainiihlels.
and a rapid yourly increase of the sale of them ef
fected. To know what will save life, to know what will
restore health, is a knowledge not to bo hidden, I,
therefore, as a man desiring lo do my duty faithfully,
have doited down some of my thirty-live years' expe
rience with Uruudretli's Pills, which are an elfectiml
assistant of nature, and cause tho expulsion of acri
monious humors the occasion of every sickness, Let
us admit that corrupt humors prevent the free circula
tion of the blood, that lirnndreth's Pills take nut
these humors, giving health for paiu, and strength for
weakness.
No man is sick save when tho principle of corrup
tion gets the ascendency; Hfundreth's Pills aid the
Life Principle to reuain the eniitiro bv removing the
corrupt humors from the bodv. Many a time 1 have
seen life apparently at the last ebb, when these Pills
were given, and in a few hours the danger was past,
and health's liood lide gave tho palicnt renewed life
and vigor. Many are the fathers, mothers, sons, and
daughters, thus saved.
1 hese celebrated Pills are couiDosed whoilv of me
dicinal herbs, and do tint oontain any mercury or oilier
mineral, being perfectly harmless to the most tcuiler
aire or weakest frame; vet sure to search out the cause
or sickness, and restore the health if taken according
to the directions.
Let no one iiiitiviue they are too weak to bear the
ellecl of these Pills, which put nn.weiikncss into the
Inline, but draws weakness out. A few doses will bo
get oonlidence, nnd then the beanties of purgation will
gradually become unfolded to our viow, which, en
forced Willi Brandrcth's Vegetable Uuiveisal Pills, is
able to cure every disease where tile organs are sound,
and greatly Increase the average of human lifo.

world; and with this medical quality they have also
a tonic effect. And as I am of the firm opinion that
iiiHainmatiou nnd fevers are causeu uj curri...u
blood not being timely evacuated, because it reuurgi
tales, so to speak, over the wb.de body, and thus cor
rupts the sound blood that should nourish all tbe niein
hers, and actnally destroys and pnndvr.es members or
organs that are nnsonnd; und as 1 know tliat these
Pills have a direct effect to remove all corrupt blood
and acrimonious humors from the body lit fact, all
humors below the vital standard of health; so I should
be gnihy of a great sin, did 1 not do all in my power
to propagate the use of a medicine which is possessed
of properties so calculalud to save and increase the
avorngu of human life-

MKSSAUK OK Jilt. LINCOLN TO TI1K MINfcllS
Hon. Mr. Colthx, who it now on a visit to
tliis coast, In a lite speech in Colorado territo
ry, related tli incidents of hit last visit to the
martyred President, a few hours before he was
assassinated, md tho nieasngo whioli Mr. Lin
coln gavo to him to tithe to tho miners. We
extract the following :
Mr. Colfax 'aid the President win in the
most buoyant spirits. Ha Imd icon him de
pressed when reverses Were our fortune, ami
had icen hint haggard and palo with oure und
responsibility. He called on him immediately
alter uuiiuueiiursvuie, wnen 1110 President,
with tearful eyes, took his linml nnd declared
beforo (iod thlt he would glndlr exchunire
places with any dead soldier of tho. Army of
mo roioruno. tie noro in ins great heart the
suffering of the people, modest in the hour of
success, bearinf the responsibility of defeat to
smeiu nis ueuexnis iruin censure, always linn,
always true to lis trust, he proved himself the
true pilot of tlij) thip of state, standing with
his houd bared to the storm, net only of rebels
in anus, but of men in the North who were op
posed to him.
The Prosidopt spoke of tho downfall of the
rebellion with tniilei j it was tho happiest day
of his life, beautiful and glorious as its own
sunset, whioh wss paesing lovely. After a our
sory reference) to his Into visit to Richmond,
the President suddenly changed the subject bv
inquiring if he was going overland to Califor
nia. Mr. Colfax replied that he Was, if there
was to bo no extra session. The President
wns confident there would not be, and rising
and atniiding, with great animation nnd em
phasis, pronounced this speech, which, after
the terribly sad efent of the night, he (Mr. C.)
immediately committed to writing :
" Mr. Colfax, I want yon lo tulte a message
from mo to the miners whom you visit, I liuve
very large ideas of tho mineral wealth of our
nation. I bclicro it practically inexhaustible.
It abounds all over tho western country from
the Koch Mountains to the Pacific, and its
development hue scaroely commenced. During
the war, when we were adding a million of dol
lars every day to our national debt, I did not
care about oticonragiiig the increase in tho vol
ume of our precious metals. We bad the coun
try to savo first, lint now, that tho rebellion
is overthrown, and wo know pretty nearly the
amount of our national debt, the more gold and
silver we mine makes the payment of that debt
so much tho easier. Now," said he, speaking
with much ctnplinsis, "I am going to encourage
that in ovcry possible way. Wo shall have
hundreds of tlioiisuuds of disbanded soldiers,
and many have fenred that their return home
in suoll great numbers might paralyze finliistry
by furnishing suddenly a greater supply of hi
bur than there will be demand for. I am going
to try to attract Ihem to tho hidden wealth uf
our mountain ranges, where there is room
enough for all. Immigration, which even the
war has not stopped, will land upon our shores
hundreds of thousands more per year from
overcrowded Europe. I intend to point them
to the geld and silver that wait for them in the
West. Tell the miners for me that I shall pro
mote their interests to the utmost of my ability;
because their prosperity is the prosperity of the
nation, nnd," said he, his eye kindling with en
thusiasm, ''We shall prove in a very few years
that wo are indeed the treasury of the world."
That evening Mr. Colfax said lie had called
again, and was with tho President half an hour.
just before he Btarted for the theater. Mr. Lin
coln was still in the highest spirits. As he ti ns
Wft1grl)rfiity,fidf'iWn'i.fl'l'UtVI'Miwk,,t.lie
was ever to take as they were shaking hands,
a thought seemed to strike tho President, who
rencated in a condensed form what he had just
delivered to us, thus showing how important he
held it, nnd said tojnm. "Don't forget. Coltax.
to tell those miiurs that that is my speech to
them. A pleasant journey to you. I will tel
egraph you at San Frnncisoo. (jiwd bye!"
tho last good bye of his life. These words he
brought were the last words of the President
on public subjects before tho bullet of tho as
sassin crashed through bis brain. It showed
that amid the exultation consequent on the
grandest consummation of the dearest wishes
of the President and the nation, the interests
of tho great West, particularly of the miners,
were uppermost in his thoughts. These words
were true, prophetic.
SlLVEitTOH. Juno 2(1, 1805,
Ed. Stateimam We bavo great rcnaon to
be thankful that tho rebellion baa Been sub
dued, and our national troubles, we may hope,
aro near a close, when wo shall again lie bless
ed with peace an t prosperity. Heing now
freed from those difficulties, it becomes nt as a
free people to direct our attention to loenl or
State matters, anil procure, uironpn tno ser
vices of chosen agents, or legislative bodies,
good and nholesoino laws, homo few years
since, I endeavored to call attention (otliissiih
ject, but the general election was too near at
hand at that time to allow tno people an oppur
tunity lo effect the object then tuggested--There
is ur,v amnle time allutrrd us before tin
next general election, and it should at once he
improved, and no time should be lost. 1 sng
gestcd then, as I now do, thnt no man should
he nlneed in the offices of the Sctinto or legis
lature nf this State, nnlil he had fully disclosed
his legal notions, in regard to matters of law-
amendments, repeals, new ameniiments. ,
Tho reasons (or tbis sten are pres.ing and ob
vious. No partv can or ought to hold the reins
of government long at a lime without a strict
nomnliance with this rule, for many good rea
sons, some 01 Wlllcn I will meiiuun. esun too
rnln heretofore practiced, the Legisliitnro wns
elected upon parly merit aluno. Perhnps the
one elected was an honest man, and pursued a
course in his official acts that he thought would
nb.nsn the neon e : but when his ollictai aois
are made public, the people are disappointed
nd ilisnleased at the course he has pursued
and instead af retiring from ofboe honored, as
an honest man sfioulU. ue retires in u riiouw,
and all for a want of an understanding lie
twoen the nartiea before be entered service.-
And it often occurs mat uni very lew in muse
retiring from laid office conld be elected a sec
ond U-rm in succession. And again, ou many
occasions, dishonest n en are placed in power,
their legal notions are kept securely linked
from the people he having some special favur
in store for himself or friends. 1 his accnni-
- ... l . r .1
plished, be retires Irnm omoe comnieieiy uis
graced, but the corrupt ends sought fur have
been effected, and the people, though much
displeased at it, most snfler the swindle. And.
again. It Is otten neiaiu- u n.iuuSu v..,.,,,,,
that it is a free country, and the people do rule.
The country is evidently tree, nut how uo tne

JKKK. DAVIS AM) HIS SITUATION.
Tho following statements are from the Fort
ress Monroe correspondence of tho Philadel
phia Inijuirer, dated May 20
Yesterday morning Davis complained of bo
ing stole, and expressed a wish tn see a physi
cian. The oflioer of tho day, after consulting
the proper authorities, told his prisoner that a
dootor would bo allowed hiiti. "What physi
cians havo you hero 1" asked Jeff, of Captain
J. E. Totlow, the oflioer of the day on duty
yosterday. Captaiu Tetlow mentioned the
names of Doctors Bancroft, Janeway and
Craven.
"Where ia Dr. Bancroft from!" queried
Jeff. "From Conneotiout," auswered the Cap
tain. "Don't want him. then. Where's Jane
way from J" "Do yno know where Crnven ia
from I" persisted Jeff. "Yea, he ia from New
Jersey." "Let me have him then." Injus
tice to Dr. Craven, we feel compelled to say
that, notwithstanding the Invidious and insult,
ing selection of the chief of traitors, the phy
sician ia and ever has boon an unconditional
Union man dyed in tho wool. The Dootor
found nnthing aerlonsly wrong with Jcff.'s pliy
siciul condition, The real reason of Davis'
dosiro for a physician became apparent when
his noontido meal was served to him. The
murderer of our prisoners ia fod on the regular
army rations, precisely of the same quantity
and quality as ia served out to our soldiers in
garrison. Jeff, had not been partaking of this
food with any apparent relish. At noon, yes
terday, he threw his soup, bread and meat
from him, exclaiming, In a load and angry
manner, "that he was not accustomed to such
living, and would not put up with it."
The oflioer and his guards on duty within
tho cell looked on in quiet surprise. Davis
hecamo yet more irate, and strode up and down
his ocll, exclaiming that he was "to be mur
dered. At one time ho endeavored to deprivo
nno of the guards of his gun. Failing in this,
ho torn open bis vest and shirt, bared his hrchst
and asked to bo shot. This melo-dramlo re
quest wns not ootnplicd with. On the contra
ry, tho nlliccr of tho day and Qeneral Milet
wero apprised of the viu'.ont oonduot of tho
prisoner, ond irons were ordered to be placed
upnii his ankles. It will ho seen by this, that
the ironing was perfeotly justifiable in every
point of view. When tho officers wore about
tn place the gyves upon him, he became moro
violent than heforo, and resisted with all his
power tho adjustment of the manacles. Ho was
gently but firmly held, and tho shackles fast
ened. Ho violently berated the officer while
performing this unpleasant duty. He was al
lowed to scold on uninterruptedly. Sinoo hie
incarceration ho has conducted himself in a
haughty and sunuroiliona manner till vestor-
d ly, wlien ho beoamo outrageously violent,
lie ia calmer to-day. Dr. Craven has ogam
visited him and reports his health as good. No
papers are allowed to be 'taken in his cell.
While on the Clyde be managed to gain pos
session of an Inquirer containing the procla
mation nf President Johnson setting a price
npon his head, alter reading which he remark
ed that the United Slntce Government would
ucver dnro to hang him. Time will tell. '

The same correspondent, under later duto.
sends the following i
it is certain, notwithstanding the Herald t
indignntinn over what it was pleased to oall a
"Philadelphia story," that the prisoner was
heavily uiaunolud rno day last week, and so
remained until resterdar afternoon. During
the days he wits ironed, Davis steadily refused
loud, eating each uuy nothing but a bit or
bread, and yesterday Dr. Cravens said plainly
to the authorities, that unless he was relieved
lernoon, and then Dr. Cravens is reported lo
have further oxpressed the opiuion that unless
Davis was allowed moro fresh airthau ho could
hy constant confinement in tho ocll, he would
nut hvn ton duvs.
Ha will live" ten days, however, for to-morrow
he emerges from the casemates of Fortress
Monroe nnd will bo sent tu Washington. The
gunboat Connecticut, ordered from Washing
ton fur his conw ynnce, willarrivo in Hampton
ilnads this morning, and to-morrow forenoon
tho prisoner will be conveyed on board under
strong guard. ' : '
Davis lias certainly shown a ohildishnoss and
temper thnt is in the highest degree disgrnooful
t.i hiin, and mbs bun of all claim to pity or
rosncut. No ereat Htnto criminal ever sloml

seeing that slavery and the Ucion oould not
both survive the terrible shock of arm whioh
then convulsed the nation, and unwilling that
tho ponpio of Kentucky, who had stood by tha
national cause should be compelled to suffer
equally with those who bad plunged us into tha
the dreadful calamity of civil war, submitted
vu us n propoaition icr what was termed com
pensated emancipation. This, .we regret to
say, was rejected by the General Assembly
although it was apparent then, as now, thai
the Institution of slavery, abolished In tbe ex
treme South as a neceaslty of tho war, oould
Hut exist long In Kcntnekv. anpronnfloA on all
sides by free States. '
'we mention this fact bocanse there are
those among us whose sole objection to tha
adoption of the Constitutional Amendment i
the peounlarv loss It would involve. Ann If
thero be any hope for compensation, after tha
refusal of onr Legislature to adopt a proposi
tion emanating from the wisdom of him whose
lose we were so recently oalled xtm to deplore,
coupled with his kindness nf he'art and Am-
sire to restrict the burdens of the war as far
as possum- io na nntnori. tt surely oonsisti la
tho Immediate adoption of tho amendment j
for none can be so blind as not to perceive that
if a measure diotalcd alike bv the nonessitioa
and the inicrestaof tho country and the civili
sation of tho world Is ratified bv tha rennislta
nninher of States, while Kentucky dissents, we
can havo lint little hope for.and no claim what
ever to, such compensation.
Of tho constitutionality of tho proposed
amendment, we do not deem it necessary to
say one word. The language of the ablest op
ponents of tho measure In Congresi and thro'
out tho oonntry mirjit be quoted, ir It were
necessary to furnish proof of the right of tha
petmle to alter and amend a fundamental law
haviug no forco whatever except by virtue of
its enmnntion from the people. Our fathors of
the eighteenth oontory ovrtainly never assumed
tho right tn bind. their descendants of the nine
teenth century by an instrument whioh was on
alterable and Immutnblo. On the contrary,
they preroribed the mode by whioh the Consti
tution oould he amended, without mnking any
roll-lot ions as to tho subjects respecting whioh
change might bo made. If alavery exiat by
virtue of tho Constitution of the United States,
the amendment ia justified by that power to
destroy, whioh. with certain limitations, ia In
herent In the power that creates. If there ia
no Justification for slavery in tbe Constitution,
an amendment forover prohibiting it, whan
ratified by three-fourths uf the State, as pro
vided In that instrument itself, 1 unquestiona
bly of full foroo and effect.
Aa lo tho effect of emancipation to Ken-,
tncky, no argument ean be ao oonvinoing aa
the rapid Increase in tho value of real estate In
the State of Maryland and the Distriot of Col
umbia siuco the abolition of slavery there.
The value of land Iu Maryland baa enhanced
already to an extont that more than oompon- '
sates for tha peouniary value of the slave
emancipated, and in the city of Washington

taxable property sinoo the abolition of slavery

of Ihe real property in tho oity of Washington
is now more than fifty pur oeut. perhaps a
hundred greater than it waa four year ago.
Such also will ho the effect iu Kentucky. . ..
Nor is anything to be feared from tue tm
pornry disturbance tu tho labor system of oar
State, whioh Ihe extinction of slavery will of-,
feet. Tho laws of labor, like the law of trade
will regulate themselves. The freed slave ,
must hare bread, and to ge! it he must bava
work. Ho will work where hi labor la moat
iu demand and best requited, and Ihe oost of
his labor to his employers will uo roucui.

ample of the States of Indiana, Ohio, and Il
linois, whore negroes nave long penormea a

and uf tha country, may be tited in proof af -this.
Negroes have never been droue apoa
society there and they never will be here. W .
must all either work or want. . .
The charge, made by oor opponent, that

and so lUllie a to u unwortny oi rsiusauins.
As to the political equality which uieaus tha

the uuvuiiditiuuuT Uuion party of Kentucky
have never contended for or favored it. The

liy restricting the right of suffrage to white

then, wu may be charged with favoring the po
