They are the product of long, laborious and successful ehetnical investi gation, and their extensive use, by physi cians in their practice, and by all civilized nations, proves them the best ami most ef- teclual purgative Pill that medical science can devise. Being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their uso. In intrinsic value and curative powers no other Pills can bo compared with them, and every per son, knowing their virtues, will employ them, when needed. They keep the system in perfect order, and maintain in healthy action the whole machinery of life. Mild, searching and effectual, they are specially adapted to the needs of the digestive appa ratus, derangements of which they prevent and cure, if timely taken. They are the best and safest physic to employ for children and weakened constitutions, where a mild, hut effectual, cathartic is required.

But, fortunately, the people have an opportunity of expressing themselves on this bargain, which they will do in an unmistakable manner, to the discomfitureofthese wily schemers. \\ e had hoped that Mr. Bybee had seen the error of his course and repent ed; but it seems that not even the in famy of the Presidential steal has de terred him from becoming a full- fledged Republican.
