VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL FILLS.
IT in KCU"nilly known that my flmnitfathor was tho
nricxiiml invuiitnr of theno remarkable (tills.
Hi) was urinciiliiic mint, ami 11 iimilicul practitioner
of the Old .School, Itnl birciuuintf ulunncit ut the mor
tality tlmt .mended tlio lllyuilintf uud Miiiurul I'mc
tit, lie liinitid I tii itttiMit ion to thu study of nature and
the philosophy ni disease, its also to the ntilurul reino
diul Htfnts which he found to ox iwt exclusively in the
Veirutubltj Kingdom, lit hit researches Hiid investi
Kalions, lie became fully satisfied that the life wiih in
thu blood; thai by whatever name diseases were dis
tinguished, impurity of the hhiod was the Bouree of
hII 11 simple and truthful doctrine, whh'h, in reducing
all diseases to a unit, necessarily established tlio fuel
that all were to he treated 011 tlio name general prin
ciples, viz. by purgation.
Now the iiiuiddilliculty consisted'.!, devising 11 veg
etable compound that would invigorate, purify, and
cleanse the blood, correct unil regulate all tho differ
cut secretions, ami by purgation discharge the whole
mass of morbid mutter from tlio body, without reduc
ing tho Htreiitv'ih. After thirty yearn of clow? applica
tion, ho considered hid object fully uecftuiplisheit in
the production 0! these pills, which have now been
before the public One Hundred mid Fourteen Yearn,
and it in imw (IHnii) nearly 'M years since Mr. ltrau
droth's Vegetable Universal "Life l'rescrviujj -'ills
were lirnt presented to thu American public (luring
which lime their tmpcrior excellence and virtues have
been extensively proclaimed by papers and pamphlets,
and a rapid yearly tucreuau of thu mile 01 iheiu ef
fected. To know what will save life, to know what will
restore beal'li, in a knowledge not to bo hidilen, I,
therefore, ait a mini detdliiig to do my duty faithfully,
have dotted down some of my thiriy-llvo years' expe
rience with Ilrandivlii's l'i.l. which uro an cU'eclual
usMstaut of nature, ami cuiiko tho expulsion of ncri
inonioiiH huiiiom the occusiou of every eicknen. Iet
m udmit that corrupt humot-K prevent (he free circula
tion of tho blood, tlmt Hraudrclir fills take out
thcKe huuiorif, yiviiifi hvultli for pain, and hI reiitli for
Wcaklie88.
No man in nick nave when the principlo of corrup
tion eta the iiHcendeiicy; lii iiudretli'u Pills aid thu
Life Principle to regain t he empire by removing tho
corrupt humors from the body. Many a time I have
seen life apparently at the IumI ebb,, when thce Pills
wore given, and in u few Iioiii-h the danger was pant,
and health's Hood lide mve the patient renewed life
nud vitfor. Many uie the fathers, uiolliers, sous, and
dauuhters, tlaiH wived.
Thew) celebrated I'ilU are composed wholly of me
dictnul herlm, and do not oontiiiu uuy mercury or other
mineral, beinr perfectly liarinleHB to the lunst tender
ivue or weakest frame; yet mite to search nut the cause
of sickness, and restore tlio health if taken according
to the directions. ,
Let no one iinuumc tliev are too weak to bear tho
etlecL of these l'ills, which put uo weakness into the
frai 110, but draws weak news oat. A few doses will be
yet confidence, and then the beauties of purgation will
gradually become unfolded to our view, which, en
iorced with Hrjndreth'a Veetablo Universal Pills, is
able to euro every disease where the organs tire sound,
and greatly increase the nvenme of human life.
I have now used on my own person, ami prepared
and udministercd, Brand ret li's Pills for thirty-live ;
years. I believe they mu tho best purgative in the;
world; and with this medical quality they have also I
a tonic eltect. And as 1 uiu of the linn opinion that
iulluiuuiatioii and fevers are caused by corrupted
blood uot beiii(( timely evactmled, becauso it reitul- I
Uitcs, so to speuk. over the whole IkmIv, uud thus cor- !
nipts the sound blood tlia' should nourish all the mem 1
bers, uud actually destroys and paralyzes members or
organs that are unsound; and us I know that these
Pills have a direct ellect to removo all corrupt blood
and at riuiouious huuiurs fiotn the bod v in fact, all
humors below the vital standard of healtli; so I should
be guilty of a ureal sin, did I not do all in my power
to propagate the ue of a tuedk'ino which is possessed
of properties so calcul.ttcd to save uud increase the
average of humau lii'o.

carcasses lying within tho Uniou, In cither
case, it is very pK'.n ti'.rit it requires Ibe action
of Congress tn enniile tltcin to fnrin a State
Government and send representatives 'n Con
gress, Nobody, I believe, pretends tlmt, with
their old conatilulinns and forms of govern
ments, they can he permitted lo regain their
rightp under tho Constitution. They have lorn
their constitutions into atoms, and built on their
foundations fabrics of n totally different char
ncter. Dead men cannot rnixe Ibeinsolves ;
dead States cannot restore their own existence
as it was. Whoso especial duty is it to do it?
In whom does the Constitution pluce the pow

prescribe laws. Not in the Executives, for be
only executes and cannot make laws. Not In
tho Coinuiandi r iu Chief of the armies, for he
can only hold them under military rule until
the sovereign legislative power of the conqueror
shall give them power. There is, fortunately,
no dillivulty in solving tho question. There
ate two provisions in tlio Constitution under
ouu -f which the case must fall. The fourth
article says " new States may be admitted by
tho Congress into this Union." In my judg
ment, this is the controlling provision in tins
case. ' Union the law of nations is a cloud let
ter, ibe late war between two acknowledged
belligerents severed their original compacts,
ami broke nil ties that bound them together.
The future condition nf (he conquered power
depends on the will of the conqueror. They
must come in us new States, or remain ns con
quered provinces. Congress (thu Senate and
llouso of liepreHentntivos), with the concur
renco of the l'resiileiit, is tho only power on
earth that can act iu the mailer. Hut suppone,
as some dreaming theorists imagine, that these
States have never been out of the Union, but
have only destroyed their State Governments,
so ns lo be incapable of political action, then
the fourth section of tho fourth article applies,
which says, "III" United States shall guaran
tee t every State in this Union a republican
form of government." Who Is tho United
Slates I Not the Judiciary, not Iho President ;
hut the sovereign power of the people, exer
cised through their representatives in Congress,
with tue concurrence of Hie Mocnlivo. It
meuns tho political government the concur
rent nctioii of both blanches of Congress and
the Executive. The sepuralo action of i nch
amounts to nothing, cither iu admitting new
States or guaranteeing republican governments
to lapsed or outlawed Stutt". V hence springs
the preposterous idea that ei'berthe President,
or the Senate, or the'lliso of Kcpresi iitnlives.

the States to send members or Senators lo lite

Greer, in the prize cases, alj the law on lliesu
points. Alter such clear nml repealed deri
sion, he said, it ft something worse than ridic
ulous to hear men of respectable standing at
tempting to nullify the law of nations, and de
clare the; Supreme Court of the United Slntes
in error Localise, as the Constitiiln n rorluds it,
the States could not go nut of the Union de
faclo. After proceeding further in bis argu
ment, he remained : "It Is olivintis lli.it Ihu
first duty of Congress is tn p iss a law declaring
tho condition of these outside or defunct Slates,
and providing proper civil government for them.
Since the conquest tliey have been governed by
iiinrtml law. Military I tile Is necess'irily des
potic, and ought lint In exist longer than is nli-
solii'elv necessary. As llieie are no symptoms
that the people of these provinces will he pre
pared to participate in a constitutional govern
ment for some years. I know of no arrangement
so proper for them as territorial government.
There they can learn the principles of freedom
and eat the fiuitof foul rebellion. Under such
governments, while electing member to the
territorial legislature, they will necessarily
mingle with those tn whom Congress .hull rx-
tcnii the right of sniTiiige. In tho Territiiries
Congress fixes the qualifications of electors.
and I know nf no hetter occasion fur t lie eon-
iiuered rebels ami the coiiitueror tn practice
justice to all men. nnd accustom themselves to
make and to ohey ull laws. As lo these lamed
rebels, they cannot at Ibeir option re enter the
lu aven which they nave d.stnrlied. nor the car
den nf Eden which ihey have deserted, ns
flaming swi rds are set at the gates tn secure
their exclusion. It becomes important to Hie
nation tn inquire when the doors shall lie re.
opened for their admission. According to my
judgment. Ihey ought never lo be recognied
ns rapilile of noting In Hie t.niun. or uelii
cutinieil as r.ilid States, until the Constitution
hall hare been so amended as to make it w hat
Hi f miners intended, so as to secure a perpetu
al ascendancy tn the pari' nf the Union, and
sn as to render republican girverumeiil firm anil
stable forever. The first of these amendments
is to change the basis of membership In actual
Voters. Nuw all (he colored freemen in (he
sluve States and three-fifth f the slaves are
represented, though none of them have votes
The rebel Slates have nineteen representatives
of colored slaves If the Slaves are now Iree,
then they ran adil for the other two fifths
thirteen more, making the slave representation
thirty-two. suppose the frre blacks in those
Stales will give nt host five mare, mulling the
representation nf uou-Votiiig people nf color
about thirty-seven. 1 lie whole nuinlier oi rep
resentatires now from the slave Start s is lev
enty : add the other two-filths, and it will he
etghly-three.
If the amend incut prevails, nnd those Stales
withhold Hie right ot suHrage from perwus of
color, it will deduct aliimt thirtj -sevi n. leaving
them but forty five. With the npportiotimciil
unchanged, the eighty three Niulherii mem
bers, with the Democrats that will in the best
limes he elected from the North, wiil uhiays
give (li.-in a majority it. Congress uud in the
Electoral Colli ge.x They will at the very first
election tnko possession ol (he White lluii.e
and (he halls ol Cniigrers. I need lint depict
Ibe nun that would lie sure to follow. I he as
sumption of the rebel delil. or repudiation of
the federal lb bl. would be s me toloiiow. The
oiipte.rion of the fnedu eii, the ru-ainendn.ent
ol the Su e Coiisltiutioiisaiiil re establishment
of slavery, would he the inevitable result. That
Ihey would scorn nml disregard their present
coti'littilions, forced upon them in tho midst ol
martial law, w ould bo both nntutal and just. If
they should grant the right of sulIVage to per
sons of color, I think there would always he
Uniou white men enough In the South, aided
by the blacks, to divido tho representation, unci
thus continue (he republican ascendency, If
they should refuse thus tn alter Ihoir election
laws, it would reduco thu representative nf the
late slave Slates to about forty-five, and render
them powerless for evil. It is plain that the
nmetidiiii'iit must bo consummated before tho
defunct States arc admitted to be cnpable of
State notion, or it never enn be. The proposed
amendment to allow Congress to lay tt duty on
exports is precisely in the same situation. Its
Importance cannot well he overstated. It is
very obvious' (hat for many years the Bonth
will not pay ttiuch under our internal revenue
laws. The only niticlo on which wit can raise
any considerable amount is cotton. It will he
grown largely nt mice. Willi ten cen(s per
pound export duty, it would be furnished cheap
er tn foreign markets than they could obtain it
from any other part of the wnrlu Tho Into
war has shown that. Two millions nf bnles
exported at 500 pounds to the bale, would yield
$ 1 00,000. This seems to ho the chief revenue
we shall ever derive from the South. Hesides,
it would he a protection (o thai amount to our
domestic iiinniifaclures. Other proposed amend
ment, to make all laws uniform, to prohibit
the assumption of the rebel debt, nro ol vital
importance, and the only tiling that can pro
vent Iho combined forces of Copperheads and
Secessionists from legislating against (he inter
ests nf Ihu Union whenever they may obtain
an nccidcntul majority. Hut this is not all we
ought to do before these inveterate rebels arc
invited tu participate in our legislation. We
havo or nre about to turn loose 4,000,000 of
slaves, without a hut tn shelter Ibein nr a cent
in their pickets. The infernal luws of slavery
have prevented them from acquiring an educa
tion, or fri in understanding tlm commonest
lawn nf contract, or from managing the or ill
nury business of life. This Congress is bound
to provide for thein until ther can provide for
themselves. If we do not furnish them with
hnim steads, and hedge them nruutid with pro
leolivc laws, if we leave tliem to the legisla
tion of their Into masters, we bad better have
left them iu bonduge. Their condition would
bo worse Hum our prisoners lit Aiidersonville.
If we fail iu (hi great duty now, and when we
biivo the power, we shall deserve nnd receive
the execrations of history ami ill! future ages.
Two things nre of vitnl importance, Sn to es
tablish a principle that noiio of the rebel States
sbnll be counted in any ol thu niuendments of
the ijonslitu'iiiii until ther nre duly ndnntted
into (he laiinly of States by tho law making
power of their conquerors, per more than six
months the amendment to the Const ituttou
abolishing shivery Jins been ratified by the
Legislatures of three-fourths of Hie States that
acted on its passage by Congress, which had
Legislatures nr which were States U'pableol
acting or which were required lo net on that
question. I In lie no account of the aggrega
tion ot whitewashed rehel. who. without anv
gal aiitliiirilv. have assembled In the capitals
of the lute rebel Stales and simulated legisla
tive bodies. Nor do 1 regard with any respect
e cunning liy-plny Into which they deluded
Ibe .Secretary of State by Ircqucnt (olographic
niinoiiiict'inenls that " South Carolina has
adopted tho Amendment ;" "Ahibainii lias
adopted the Amendment, being the twenty-

It is equally important to the staiiihty of this
republic that iteliuuM now ho solemnly decided
what power can revive, re create and reinstate
these provinces into the family of States, uud
invest tlieui with tho lights of American citi
zens. It is time Ibal Congress should assert
It sovereignty and assume siiinetliuig of the
dignity of a Unman Semite. It is fortunate
that the Pre went invites Congress tn take tin
iiiauly nlltlu le. After staling with great frank-lies-,
iu his able message, his the ry, which,
however, i found lo lie iiopraclicable. nud
w hich I believe very few now consider lennble,
he refers the whole matter to Hie judgment of
Congress. f Congress should fail firmly nud
wisi ly lo discharge that high duly, it is not Iho
limit of Ihu President. This Congress owes its
character lo set (be real nf reprobation upon a
J.cliine which is becoming Ion fashionable.
and, unless rebuked, will become Iho re eng.

It would be hem dotal to the wenlier races, in

In the blond beet we always look fur deep
