Id ielation to a settlement of the National troubles,
the tJovenor says:
May we not wi.-e!y follow the example of our fathers,
by re-enacting the old Compromise line ol 1320, and ex
tending it to the boundary of California? Not by
itn ms of legislation of doubtful constitutionality, bit: by
an amendment to the Constitution itself. a:id thus p. r
mancutly fix the condition of the Territories, so that
those who desire to occupy them may tind a home, at
their discretion, «i:her where slavery is tolerated or
where it is prohibited. I would thsrfore recommend the
Genetal Assembly to instruct and request our Scnatois
a"d Representatives u Congress to support a proposition
for such an amcndmcut of the Constitution, to be submit
ted fir ra'ifi atiou of rijectiou to a Conveutiou of dele
gates, elected directly by the people of the State.
I i the event of the failure ol Congress speedily to
propo-e this, or a similar amendment to the Coustii utiou,
'he ci iz ns of Pennsylvania should have au opportunity,
f>y th-- ippli ition ot some peaceable remedy, to prevent
the dismemfs rracut of this I'nion. This can only be
done bv ea'ling a Convention of delegates to be elected
by th>' people, with x view solely to th-' consideration ot
wbat measures should be t»k>*u to meet the present tear
ful exigencies. If Congress should propose no reiuedv,
let it emai: it : from the soutec of all authority, the peoplc
theraselves.
Kvery attempt upon the fktrt o^suiHviduafs or ol or
ganized societies, to 1- id ilw? people uwiv from their a!
legim ce to the Government, to induce them to violate
auv of the provisions ot the Constitution, or to incite in
surrections tn iiiv ot the Slates of this Union, ought to
l>e prohibited hv law, as crimes of a treasonable nature
T:n* pcnpfb of Pennsylvania are devoted to the Uuiou.—
Tuev will follow its siais and its stripes through every

dimly foreshadowed, it is their solemn duly to remove
everv |iisi cause of complaint agaiual themselves, so that
ihev in,iv sianJ betore high heaveu aud the civilized

A large number of memorials from Northern States have
been prevented to Congress, praying the adoption of the
foregoing plan of adjustment. In offering a number from
Pennsylvania, Mr. lligler expressod the opinion that the
scheme would be Satisfactory to that great State. There
is said to be a rapidly gro ving seotimeut throughout the
North favorahh to Mr. Critten Jen’s plan, and letters ate
pouring in tirg'ug the republic ms to » eept it.
In furtherance of tins plau, a circular address to tho
people of the United States, setting forth the imminent
peril of the country, and signed by Mr. Crittenden and
many ether members of Congtess, has been issued. The
signers say:
“We h ive reason to believe that the following propos
ed anieuumeuts 'O the Con.-titu ion, (those given above)
if passed bv a two-thirds vote of Congress and ratified
by three-fourths of the States, would have the effect to
allav promptly and permanently the sectional strife
a. out slavery, and re-rstatdi-h relations of peace and
good will between the States and the people. Wo
therefore earnestly and urgently recommend that, vith
as little delay its po--ib!e, you express your judgments on
,o proposed amendments. You can best tell how thi t
can tie done, whether by public meeting#, conventions
or deb cations, or through the ballot-box. It action bo

such form u~ to indicate uuuiistakcablv your will on the

Missouri loves the Union, and will never submit to

ephemeral contracts as are enacted by (’otigri ss to-duv

the just rights of the State#, and agreed to in solemn con

material, educational aud military progress of that State
during the three years he ha.-, tilled the Executive ehair,
and devoting a considerable “pi e to a discussion of the
Personal Liberty Law—the abrogation of which he re
commends, conclude' an follows:
There can be no peaceable s-.-ce -ion of St ilea. Wheth

After r. I-n i’jg to Slate affai.-s, Gov. Morgan's me—
s gc to the New ^ ork Legislature touches ou ht-deral re.
Iitioua. It oppo-ea the right of recession. The repeal
ol the Mi-souri (lornpromise is held up as the root from
w hich have pi uug all our present ev ils. lint the people ol
New York uo uot wl-Ii the r- -en ictmeutof that measure.
N -vertheleps, they ate ready, he says, “in all honorable
wavs, to end-avor t> nconcile the estrangements now
exlsrin;: " Tnere -houlJ be, he ssys, “uo surremh r id
iinput tat.I right-, nor saetificc of vital principles," neilh
ci should they “insi-t on points of pride, or on mere uh
structions.” The alleged Personal Liberty law of that
Stale is thus explained :
In 1 tvlvt, conformably to the general opinion of that
dav, the I, -gi-lature passed a statute granting a trial by
jury, in the Courts ol this Stale, to j er-ons charged as
being fugitives from service. Aftei wards, the Supreme
Cannot the United Stales, in the case ol Prigg agniust
the Comtnonwealth ol Pennsylvania, decided that nil
State laws, even though subordinate to the Keder.il en
actments, and favorable to the extradition ot fugitives,
were inconsistent with the Constitution of the United
Siatca, aud thercloiu void; ai.d to this statute of otir
State, which granted a trill by jury, became ineffective.
It lias been universally li Id to be obsolete by all our
common'ators, n d rill our public authorities, although
t 1 _ _... I . *11- .— 11

oil ‘'IYr uuxI Ldrerty Laws,” and made occasion lores
citing j ill csies and discontents. 1 therefore recom
mend it* repeal.
1 i tills connection, and while dtsavoaing any disposi
tion to interfers with that which exclusively pertains to
the individual States, and in a spirit of fraternal kind
ness, I would respectfully invite all those States whirti
have upon their statute books any la vs of ibis charac
ter, ooiidictinc with the Federal Constitution, to repeal
them at the earliest opportunity; nut ti|siu condition
that a more cip;iuld.i fugitive slave law be passed, nor
upon any other condition, but telying lor the proper
modifications « f this et uctuient upon the justice and wis
dom of the Federal authorities. Let the free States ful
til! ail the obligations of the F« ilcral Constitution and
laws, then, with propriety, they may exact like obcdieuce
from all the other States.
He next argues to satisfy the South that the newly
elected President has neither the de*iro nor the ability to
do auy injury to the Slave States,—Congress and the Su
preme tout t both standing in the way. He then justi
fies, or at least accounts for, the course of the North, iu
relulioit to this iptesliou, by the aggressive actiou of the
South, in attempting to extend slavery in o the national
domain. After which, he adds:
What is especially wanted, both at the North and at
the South, is not only a cessation of hostile words and
acts, but a complete restoration of all those amicable
aui fraternal relations which formerly existed in every
portiou of the Confederacy, and wi'hout which the Union
ceases to confer its highest advantages.
No apprehension, however, need bo entertained tli .t
the people of this law-abiding Stale would, in auy case.
Buffer their authorities or agents in the Statu or Federal
Government to invade or impair auy constitutional right
or privilege of ihe slave Stales; on the contrary, they
stand always as ready to guarantee those rights as to
defend their owu, aud I tlriuk it would be well lor the
Legislature to give such new and solemn utterance*, to
Hies.' convictions as shall altorj to the people ot all the
Southern States the assurauce that all tlu ir rights, under
the Constitution and the laws are recognized, ai d will
ou the part of the people of this Slate, be respected and
maintained inviolate. . ,
I tally belts** that if justice and moderation shall mart
the conduct of the loyal States, we shall safely pass lit.
present crisis, as we have passed many others, withOQ
lo*. of substantial rights or self-respect, for I am uuwt
ling to admit that there are m.vlmen, eitivr at the worth
or South, sufficiently formidable in power or in numbers,
to destroy the Union ot the S'atea ; H Union which has
been productive ol inestimable good ; a Union iu which
all section* and part# have contributed in diversa though
harmonious modes to that rommon result of strength,
stability and happiness, manifest to every eve, in every
direction, throughout Lire length aud breadth of this ex
tended land.
In view, however,of the momentuous issues involved, it
becomes the solemn duty of the National Executive to act
with promptitude and firmness, the National Legislatures
with moderation and cone Ration, and llie pabfic press,
throughout the country, with thut regard to the rights of
all sections and interests which its vast influence and res
ponsibilities demand.
Every State can do something, and ought to do all
that it can, to avert the threatened danger. Let New
York set the example in this respect. Let her oppose
no harrier; hut, on the contrary, let her Representatives
iu the Federal legislature give their ready support to
any settlement that shall he just and honorable to all—3.
settlement due alike to the chciislied memories of the
past, the mighty interests of the present and the myriads
of the future.

the strict let'.er of that great fundamental law, the living
and immortal bond of the union of the States, cordially

claiming ami enforcing the determination that the Con
stitution shad lie honored, and the union of the States
shall he prest rved
Speaking of secession the Governor deorecstes the ac
tion of South Carolina, urid sivs our people would feel
more symp t iv with the movement had it originated
amongst those who, like ouiselves, have stifllred severe
losses and constant auuoyauce.a from the interference and
depredations of outsiders. Missouri will hold to the Uniou
so lout' as il is worth the effort 10 preserve it. She can
not he fright* tied by the pa*t unfriendly legislation of
the North, or dragooned into secession by the restrictive
legislation ot the extreme South. The Governor denies
the right of voluntary secession, and says that it would
he utterly destructive of every principle 011 which the
naiioual lailh is founded, appeals to the great conserva
tive m isses of the |iepple to put down selfish and design
ing politicians, to avert the threatened evils, and closes
with a .strong recommendation to adopt all proper meas
ures for tin* preservation of our rights; condemns the
resort to separation ; protests against hasty and unwise
action, and records lii.s unalterable devotion to the 1 'niot,
so long as it can be made the protector of tipial right".
The Governor then passes to State mailers, and shows
the finances to he in a prosperous condition; recommends
a revision ol the military laws; advises arniiug the niili
ti.i; proposes protection against invasion; aud recom
mends the Legislature to relieve the hanks from the pen
alties incurred by temporary suspension of specie pay
ment.

Tnit AmauiavaTion ok Ianiu-auks.—There is a grow
ing tendency in this age to appropriate the mostcxprcgH
j ive words ol other languages, am! after a while to incor
porate them into our own; thus the word Cephalic, which
is from the Greek, signifying “for the head," is now be
coming populariz d in connection with Mr. Spalding's
great Headache remedy, but it will soon be used in a
more general way, and the word Cephalic will become as
common as Klectrotype and many others whose distinc
tion as foreign words has been worn away by common
usage until they seem ‘ native aud to the manor born.”

mokes known any deviation whatever from the natural
stale of the brain, and viewed in this light il mnv be look
ed on as a safeguard intended to give notice of dis-ase
which might otherwise escape attention,till too late to he
remedied; and its indications should never hi neglected.
Headaches may he classified under two names, viz.:—
Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Headache is
exceedingly common and is the precursor of a great va
riety of diseases, among which are Apoplexy, Gout,
Rheumatism, and all febrile diseases. In its nervous form
it is sympathetic of disease of the stomach, constituting
nirk hfadathe, of hepatic disease, constituting biliuu*
hn&tchr, of worms, constipation and other d-.-urOers of
the bowels, as well as rer.ul and uterine affections. Dis
eases of the heart are very frequently attended with
Headaches; Aua-mia and plethoiiu are also afl'ec'ions
which frequently occasion headache. Idiopathic Head
ache is also very common, being usually distinguished bv
the name ol «rrnou* hnadnrhr, sometimes coming on sud
denly in a stale of apparently sound hcullh and prostrat
ing at ore e the mental and physical energies, and in oth
er instances it comes on slow ly, heralded by depression ol
spirits or acerbity of temper. In most instances the pain
is in the front of the head, over one or both eves, amt
sometimes provoking vomiting; under this Hiss may at
so l>e named Xr nralyia.
For the treatment of either class of Headache the Ceph
alic Pills have been found a sure and safe icrucdy, is
lieving the most, acute pains in a few minutes, ami iiy it
subtle power eradicating the diseases of which Ucadaelu
is the unerring index:

tary habits, it is regariled as a slight di-order of too lit
tle consequence to excite anxiety, while in reality it is
a preecursor and companion of mat y of the most fatal
and dangerous diseases, and unless early eradicated it
will bring the sufferer to an untimely grave. Among
the lighter evils of which cofltivenem is the usual attend

their presence in the system by this alarming svmpton
Not utifrequeotly the disease* named originate in Cousti
paiion, but take on an independent existence unless the
cause is eradicated iu an early stage. From all these
cotisidi ratioi s it follows that the disorder should receive
immediate attention whenever it occurs, and no person
should neglect to get a box of Cephalic Pills on the first
appearance of the complaint, as their timely use will ex
I>«-1 the insidious approaches of disease and destroy thi
dattgercus foe to human life,

Over Excitement, ami the mental care and anxiety
it indent to close attention to business nr study, are
among the numerous cause of Nervous Headache. Tlie
disordered state of mind and body incident to this dis
treS'ing complaint is a fatal blow to nil energy and am
bition. Sufferers by this disorder tan always obtain
speedv relief from these distressing attacks by using one
of tlie Cephalic Pills whenever the symptoms appear.—
It quiets tlie overta-ked brain, and 'OOlhes the strained
and jarring nerve*, and relaxes the tension of the stom

dered condition td the brain.

the great medical discoveries of this age may be cons.d

use of Quinine for the prevention of Fever*, either ol
which is a suie specific, who-e benefits will he experienc
