Hsxnr CLAY ox SLAVERY.--“I have said that I never
could vote for it myself, and I repeat that I never can,
and never will vote, and no earthly power will ever make
me vote to spread slavery over territory where it does
not now exist.”——Henry CIa.y’s Speech, Feb. 6, 1850.

“ I FEEL there is nothing which the civilized world, if
they take notice of so humble a person as myself, will
reproach me with, when, 1 say, as I said the other day-
I had made up my mind, for one, that under no circum-
stances would I consent to the further extension of the
aren of Slavery in the United States, or to the farther
increase of Slave Representation in the I-louse of Repre-
sentatives.”——Speech qfflanicl Webstcron Oregon Bill, ’4S.

“ TIIE 1lnoLI'i'Iox or DOMESTIC SLAVERY is the greatest ob-
ject of desire in these Colonies, where it was unhappily
introduced in their infant state.”—Jefl'erson, in 1774.

“ I nl-‘.AR'I'IL1' concur in all movements which have for
their objects ‘ to repair the mischiefs arising from the
vjolation of good faith in the repeal of the Missouri

mpromise.’ I am opposed to Slavery in the abstract

' and upon principle, sustained and made habitual by

long settled convictions.

“ While I feel inflexible in the belief thatit ought not
to be interfered with where it exists under the shield of
State Sovereignty, I am iufiexibly opposed to its exten-
sion on this continent beyond its present limits.”

Jon): C. Fnriioxr.

- “ FER: Luzon is the natural capital which constitutes
the real wealth of this great country, and creates that
intelligent power in the masses alone to be relied on as
the bulwark of free institutions.”—JoIi.V C. Fmmoxr.

The Fair.

The all absorbing and all engrossing matter
of the week, has been the Fairfield County
Agricultural Society’s Exhibition and Fair-
So fine a. display of Grains, Vegetables, Fruit,
Flowers, Specimens of Mechanical Skill and
Industry, Ladies’ Handiwork, &c., was never
witnessed before in this County.

The display of Animals, including Horses,
Colts, Oxen, Steers, Cows, Calves, Sheep,
Swine,Fowls, 8;c.,was never so fine, in our
opinion.

The trains of Cattle, numbering some Two
Hundred and Twenty Yokes, every one of
which would be considered premium Cattle in
any County save old Fairfield, made a most
imposing spectacle, and were witnessed by at
least 15,000 people. Wilton beat Norwalk by
some three or four yoke, we learn, but the
Judges decided the Norwalk Train the best in
quality and value.

The general management has been as good
and satisfactory as could be reasonably expect
ed. Mistakes. misconceptions and 0VeI'SIgI]tg
have no doubt occurred, but we believe the
Committees have all discharged their duties
honestly and conscientiously, and with an eye
singly to the best interests of the Society. The
Ofllcers, Watchmen and laborers who had in
charge the care and protection of the Tent and
the property within it, one and all are entitled
to the public gratitude for the fidelity with
which they discharged their various trusts.

The Music was superb—-a decided improve-
ment upon last year, and gave very general
satisfaction.

The Speaking we think was never surpas-
sed at any State or County Fair in the Coun-
try, for ability and fitness. Mr. Henry C. Vail
of the Westchester Farm School, led off on

Wednesday. Mr. Calvin Shaffer followed
in an exceedingly practical and useful
address on the culture of Fruit Trees ; Mr,
Goldthwaite of Norwich, gave an eloquent and
witty address on Thursday afternoon on the
general Sphere of Farming interests and in-
fluence; followed by Rev. William Clifi‘, of
Stonington, long known as one of our most
thorough and practical agricultural writers
and speakers, on Friday.

Votes were passed to publish all four of
these really valuable addresses, which we pre-
sume will be done, and then placed at the dis-
posal of all who may desire to read or procure
them. Thousands went away unable to gain
admittance into the Tent, so great was the
mass of human beings constantly pressed with-
in it.

There was a bevy of New York Pickpockets
in attendance, as a matter of course, and sev-
eral persons were robbed of their pocketbooks,
but the good order and freedom from rowdy-
ism, drunkenness or rnflianly conduct, has
been the remark of every one, and speaks well
for the moral culture of the people, and the
efilciency of our constabulary force.

We publish. so far as we are abie, a detailed
account of the Premiums awarded. In the
haste and confusion attendant upon their
preparation, it is quite probable that omissions
or errors have occurred, if so, we shall most
cheerfully make any correction that may be
pointed out to us.

We believe those who made entries are ln

the main well satisfied with the result of the
awards, and to any who have failed to win,
from any cause whatever, we have only to say.
dou’t be discouraged but try again anoth-
er year. Amid so many competing arti-
blcs, so nearly equal in cxcellcnce,the award-
ing committees had amost difficult and trying
task to pcrf'orm, and to suppose or to expect
them to decide in all cases without an error
ofjudgmcnt is to suppose and expect perfec-
tion in human nature. All worked cheerfully,
and as we have said, with everyapparent wish
to act impartially and boenstly, and with the
hope of no other recompense than the appro-
val of those for whom they sought to do jus-
tice.

In this connection we deem it proper to nail
the falsehood, which has been given currency
in certain quarters, that those who have taken
so active and laborious a part in the general
management of the Society ch arge audrcccive
compensation therefor. and that private sup-
pers, banquets, &c. are gotten up at the ex-
ensc of the funds of the Society. This is to-
tally and wholly untrue in ercryparliculor.
Hard work is performed by sundry individu-
als, but it is done without reward or the hope
or expectation of‘ it, and any man circulatipg
reports like the above not only does gross iii-
justice to those who would subserve the public
interests, but is guilty of a most cowardly and
villainous defamation of‘ character. Let us
hear no more of these slanders.

‘E The South Norwalk Military Ccuipany
made a fine display in their turnout on 'I‘hurs-
day, and presented a fine target to claim the
prizcs alluded to in our last. The names of
the lucky marksinen have not been f'ur—
nished us.

Stoves.

We never saw so fine an assortment, or ex-
tensive variety of Stoves, as were exliihitcd
by the establishments of lllessrs. C, & E. K.
Lockwood, S. (L: L. Curtis, Norwalk ; and
Francis Nash, South Norwalk. Mr. Nash
had some most exquisite patterns of fancy
parlor Stoves.

Fair Notices.

All persons having bills against the Fairfield
County Agricultural Society, are requested to
leave them at the Norwalk Gazette Office di-
rected to the Auditing Committee, previous to
Wednesday Evening, October 1st.

@* There will be a meeting of the Com-
mittee of Arrangements of the late Fair. at
the Gazette office, on Thursday evening, Octo-
ber 2d, at 7 1-2 o’clock. Per order.

Q, So far as we have heard, not a single
accident occurred of any note, during the en-
tire week, a matter of wonder when we con-
sider the immense concourse of people in
town, and the furious driving through the
streets.

0:-5-Not the least attractive feature of the
Fair was the Soda Fountain of Mr, Monroe of
New Canaan, and the Ice Cream stand of that
celebrated caterer, Cha.rleyD’Arf-ois, of South
Norwalk.

@* We are indebted to John Hower of
Wilton, for a basket of his premium Onions.-
We don’t ‘believe their betters have been
grown this side of Calif'oruia—most as large
as their donor’s heart-—they are enough to
make one weep to look at them.

 

fi£‘ After the examination of Roadsters by
the Committee on the Green, on Friday after-
noon, we lcaru that several purses were made
up by the “fast boys of‘ the town,” and some
very exciting trotting came off. with its usual
exhilarating coiicemitants of sweaty horses,
bragging drivers. and hallooing spectators.

One horse broke away from its driver and
dashed madiy through the crowd, but did no
injury other than breaking the carriage.

%‘ Two horses which were being driven
furiously up and down West Avenue on Fri-
day eveuing lust, came in contact with each
other, nearly killing one of the animals and
about ruining the other.

Rcaauav IN WEsrPoRr.—The store of Jo-
seph W. Hill, in Westport, was broken open
and robbed of about $1.500 worth of goods
last. Wednesday night. Two hundred and
fifty dollars reward is offered for the recovery
of the goods, and arrest of the thief.

one of the Signs of the Times

The venerable Henry Shaw, who as a Mem-
ber of Congress from Massachusetts in 1820,
voted against the Missouri Compromise on
the ground that the South would not adhere
to its inviolability as a finality, has lived to
see the truth of his predictions, and is now
for Fremont.

The son of Henry B. Storrs, deceased, who
also voted against this Compromise on the
same grounds, is also out for Freedom and
Fremont.

ANOTHER.

Mrs. Gov. Robinson reached New York on
Friday morning week. from Kansas. At
Chicago, the cars being detained and some
three or four hundred passengers crowding
about lier to learn something of her views of
Kansas, she responded in a very modest and
graceful speech, and avowed her willingness
to speak publiciy or privately for the cause
of‘ Fremont and Free Kansas. She also
brings the gral.if'ying news that all the Free
State prisoners just released on bail, inclu-
ding her own husband, were on their way to
the East to speak for Freedom.

fir We have heard it stated by Fillmore
men, that they really think Mr. Fillmore is
to be olir next President. The reason they
give, is that Mr Tillmore will get enough
Electoral votes to throw the election into the
House, and there the Democrats not being
strong enough to elect Mr. Buchananan will
drop him and unite on Mr. Fillmore, Poor
deluded men! they little know with whom
they have to deal.

What. the Democrats unite with them to
elect Mr. Fillmore. when by sticking to their
own candidate and preventing an election by
the House, they will be sure of Mr. Brecken-
ridge occupyiiig the Presidential chair? No,
they are too eager for the spoils for that.-
They are not willing to share with another
faction, when there is the least chance of ob-
taining all, for if‘ the House refuse to elect a
President. of course the Vice Presidentwould
fill the Chair, and he being elected by the
Senate, wolild, in the present state of that
body, he the candidate on the Buchanan tick-
et, John C. Breckenridge.

No, poor deluded men, there is no hope for
you in that quarter. Neither is there any
hope of its going to the House at all, for rest
assured the people will settle it. themselvesby
giving Jonx C. FREMONT the majority, and a
large majority too. of the Electoral vote on
the 4th of November next.

 

Q. Among the “ curiosities” on the Fair
‘Grounds, the Three Legged Horse was acap-
shief to anything we have ever yet encoun-
tercd. He is a fine looking ‘animal, spirited’
and quick in his movements, notwithstanding
his pedal deficiency. It is certainly a rare
freak of Nature, and well worth a visit from
the lovers of the marvellous and the curious.

Fremont Meeting at Westport.

Saturday was a glorious day for old West-
port. The afternoon meeting was ably ad-
dressed by S B. Beardsley, Esq., of Bridge-
port. Also by Hon. Edmund Perkins, of Nor-
wich, (to whom, by the way, the frecmen of
the North are more indebted for their present
proud position than to any other living man.)
In the evening Mr. Ferry addressed a crowded
house for nearly two hours, in one of the most
able, earnest and eloquent speeches to which
we ever listened.

He seemed inspired by the presence of many
dcmocrats,who listened to him with the ut-
most attention throughout, and upon whom
his telling pathos could not have failed of ef-
fect. P

The Friends of Freedom in Westport seem
to be fully aroused.

 

1&6‘ Camp has sent us two volumes. one,
“Magdalen Hepburn ”a well written thrilling
story of the Scottish Reformation, by Mrs.
Olyphant, and published by Garrett & Co. 18
Ann street, N. Y. The other is a. valuable
little work called “a guide for all who wish
to speak and write cyrrectly.” It is of the
same class of books as “One Thousand Mis-
takes Corrected.”

Banners-

Messrs. Ackerman & Miller, 101 Nassau street,
New York. have finished a Banner for the Fre_
lnonters of Norwalk, which is pronounced by
men of all parties to be one of the most beau-
tiful to be seen anywhere, and creditable alike
to the popular painters, and to the enthusiast-
ic young Fremonters who procured it.

Rev. Mr. Storrs not on the Stump.
I BROOKLYN, Sept. 15, 1856.
To the Editorof the JV. Y. Times:

I see it stated, in the Evenirzg Post,
that I am " about to take the stump for
Freedom and FREMONT.” This is quite
a mistake. that Iam earnesly desirous
of the election of Colonel FREMONT to
the Presidency ; that I intend to vote for
him myself, and lose no opportunity to
urge my friends to do so likewise : and
that I regard his now almost certain
election as the one thing immediately
necessary to save us from internal dis-
sensions, rapidly ripening into bloody
civil wars: from a foreign policy, greedy
aggrssive and dishonorable, and from
such a commitment of the nation to the
extension of Slavery as will dishonor
our Past, and fearfully degrade and dark-
en our Fulure—-is certainly and' most
emphatically true.

But my professional engagements
leave me no time, even if I had the tal-
ent and the taste.-.—which both are wan-
ting-—for that particular form of opera-
tion populary described as “ taking the
stump." I must be content to labor in
other ways, less effective, perhaps, but
more consistent with my other engage-
ments, and more consonant with my
habits of thought and speech, for the
grand result. Yours very truly.

SPRINGFIED, Sept. 22

There were two meetings held here
to-night James Brooks of New York
addressed the Fillmore Club. and Mr.
Burlingame the Fremont Club. Mr.
Brooks had some 400 or 500 bearers;
Mr. Burlingame 2000.

[§ the Concord Patriot says that
President Pierce intends visiting New
Hampshire early in Oclober. Arranage-
menti are being made at Concord to give
him a public reception.

A large meeting of citizlins, to-night,
adopted a resolution, four to one, that it
is inexpedient to tender President Pierce
a public reception.

0:? Caleb N. Taylor, another of the
Fillmore electors of Pennsylvania, has
taken the stump for Fremont, and Hon.
John W. Howe, formerly member of
Congress from the Meadville district,
has come cm for Fremont.

of the nomination of Mr. Buchanan:

“I congratulate you that your choice
has fallen on a man who stands on the
IDENTICAL PLATFORM THAT I
OCCUPY, and that. he will take the
SAME wile the standard lowered never an
incll.”

Stephen Arnold Douglass, in his late
New York speech, said : '

“Buchanan and myself have for seve.
ral years back, ever since I came inlo
public life, HELD THE SAME POSI.
TION on the slavery question from
beginning to end.”

Now hear what Buchanan says:

"I have been placed on a PLAT-
FORM OF WHICH I HEARTILY
APPROVE, and I must square my
conduct by that platform.”

[[?' A gentleman, says the Litchfiefd
Enquirer, formerly a resident of this
village, who has just returned from
Calliforma, assures us that there is
little doubt but that the State will give
a majority for Fremont. He is a man
of much reflection, and his being coli-
ller:te(l with the Express of that country,
renders his field of observation very
large.

President Pierce, in a late speech, says"

C0r‘I'¢‘S]70lllI'(‘1lCc' of the Gazcft

American slavery not sanctioned
by the Bible.

Some people try to find a sanction for
American Slavery in the Hebrew bond
service. The ancient Hebrews when
reduced to extreme poverty, so that
ihey were not able to pay their honest
debts, were allowed to sell themselves,
that is their services, for a limited peri-
od, never to exceed six years. In like
manner they were allowed to sell their
children. The servants thus sold, still
retained their natural rights to a great.
extent. They reared their own families
and enjoyed all the elidearments of the
family relation, without the liability of
having their wives or children torn from
them by ruthless tyranny. They en-
joyed the same religious and educational
privileges as other poor people. They
were protected against personal violence
and insult, by the laws of the land. If
a master, in a fit of anger, knocked out
a tooth, or in any way maimed a servant,
the servant thus injured was entitled to
his freedom. (Ex. 21, .36-27.) Indeed
few cases occurred in which the lot of a
servant did not seem to be as mild and
desirable as that of a hired man, or an
apprentice.

The Hebrews were also aliowed to
buy servants of the doomed nations
around them, but at the end of every
fifty years, there was a. complete and
total emancipation of all the slaves in
the land, whether they had been in
bondage a longer or a shorter time
(Lev. 25, 10.) If a servant became
dissatisfied with the treatment which
be received from his master, he could
just run over to his neighbor's and claim
protection. And that neighbor had a
divine command not to give him up to
his master, but to afford him shelter and

comfort, and not oppress him (Dent. 23,‘

15-16.)

Every one who knows anything of
American slavery, must see at a glance,
that it. bears but a very slight resem-
blance to Hebrew bond service. This
can hardly be called a yoke, while that
is most outrageous oppresiion. It is
as absurd to try to uphold American
Slavery by the Hebrew bond service, as
it would be to justify Missouri Ruffian-
isin by the text, “He that spareth the
rod spoileth the child.” But even if
Hebrew servitude was as cruel and op_
pressive as American Slavery, we can-
not reason from one to the other, From
the fact that God suflered the one, we
cannot infer that he sanctions the other.
Before we can justify American Slavery
by an appeal to the Bible, we must be
able to prove that God authorizes while
Americans to reduce colored ‘people to
God had a right to authorize
individuals and nations to do things
which other individuals and nations are
not at liberty to do, without a special
divine commission. God is the supreme
owner and governor of the Universe,
and may select what agents and means
he sees fit, to accomplish his purposes.
He doomed the ancient Amalekites, for
their crimes, to utter extinction. But
instead of destroying them by famine or
pestilence, or earthquake, be authorized
and commanded King Saul to extermi-
nate them with the sword, So he au-
thorized and commanded the Israelitish
nation to -drive out and destroy the na,
tions of Canaan. King Saul, and the
nation of Israel, could put their hand on

bondage.

their commi'ssion—a commission ad-
dressed to them in particu|ar—and ‘say
this is my authorzly for doing thus and
so. Now, until we can find a commis-L‘
sion, addressed to white Americans, au-
tlioriziiig them to make slaves of colored
Americans; or, until we can find a
general commission authorizing the
stronger of mankind to sugugate and
chatlelize the weaker. Until we can
find one or the other of such commis-
sions, we shall be driven to the concili-
sion that American Slavery has no
sanction orauthority from the owner
and Sovereign of our race. And we are
confident that no such commission ean
be found in the Bible, if we read from
the firs: verse of Genesis to the last
verse in Revelation. E. D. K.

Hon. Jesse D. Bright, of Indiana, in
his speech at Kalamazoo Michigan said
there was no danger of disruptionin the
Union, and that neither Congress nor all
the politicians in the country can dis-'
solve the confedeiacy our fathers made
and handed down to us.

Vermont.'—-There are some spots in
Vermont where we should not like to
dwell in these - times,—-They are alto-
gether too one-sided in polilics.—'l‘bere
is not enough opposition to make matters’
lively. Take the following towns with
their votes at the recent election 2 Lin-
coln 107 Republicans to 0 Buclianiers :
Siarkboro, I67 to O Crittenden, 99 to 1 ;
Weslford’ 213 to 8: Mt. Holly, 213 I09.
There are lots of places like these. The
Boston Atlas gives a list of 19 towns,
the vote of which foots up 2512 Repub-3
licans l0 83 Buchauiers ! They seem
lo be doing up matters very much like
this in Maine. If affairs progress at
this rate, by November one will have to
go as far south as South Carolina to
catch a glimpse of a Buchanan man.

urge our readers to vote intelligently.

It is well known that one of the can-
didates for the Plesidency has been
charged with being a Roman Catholic.
To this story we never gave the slightest
importance, considering it as one of those
bald falsehoods which were fabricated
for a party purpose, and whicd would
drop into oblivion and be despised as
soon as it had served its object. But as
the originators of the story cling to it
with great pertinacily, thinking it a
very effective weapon to excite odium
and prejudice, some good men have
thought it,wor'.h while to set the matter
at once and forever at rest. Clergjlnien
of this city have been applied to by
members of their churches,and by letters
from abroad, to make personal inquiry,
since the public would have entire con-
fidence in their statement, knowing that
they were not likely to be deceived
themselves, and that they could have no
motive to misstale the fact.

Thus appeal too, a number of clergy-
men,though very reluctant to do anything
which could bring their names before
the public in connection with any polit-
cal question,,called on Colonel Fremont
for the purpose of a frank conversation
in regard to his religious profession and
belief. This they did—uot for ther own
personal satisfaction, for not one ofthem
bad a doubt about the matter—but simply
that they might be able to satisfy others
by an assurance from his own lips.-
Among those who went were the Rev.
Dr. De Witt of the Dutch Reformed
Church : Profssors Henry B. Smith and
R. D. Hitchcock of the Union Theo.
logical Seminary; the Rev. David B.
Coe. Secretary of the Home Missionary
'Society; and one of the editors of this
paper. They were received with great
cordialily, and Colonel Fremont respon-
ded very frankly and cheerfully to their
inquiries.

When it is remarked that some ofou,
good people were disturbed about his
religion, he replied smiling, that heswas
glad that his opponents were willing to
admit, at least, that he had some religi-
ous feeling--- the; he was not wholly in-
different to Christianity. One of the
ministers inquired if the account of his
early Ieligiouss education and of his
joining the Episcopal Church as given
in Bigelo\v’s “Life of Fremont.” was
correct? He replied that it was -; and
added, in a few words, that he had been
born and educated in the Episcopal
Church; that he had -been confirmed as
a member of that Church, and had never
had a shadow ofa thought of leaving it.

When allusion was made to the per-
sistent assertions tbat he was a Catholic.
he replied that he could not imagine
ho\v sncli a story took its rise, for that,
.in fact, he had hardly been inside of a
Catholic church more than half a dozen
times in his life, and then upon occasions
of public interest or curiosity.

All this was said very quietly, and
with no apparent desire to obtrude his
religion, or to make capital out of it, but
to state the simple fact of his religious
education and belief. No one could
listen to this frank, yel; modest slate-
ment, without feeling that it was per-
fectly iugenuous; and that with no big-
otry toward others, he was sincerely and
uuaffeciedly attached to the religion in
which be had been educated by a pious
mother. '

DEAR BRo.—I have some inlerestand

Co|.'FREMoN'r is a Catholic, and it has
occurred to me that you may have means
of knowing, and perhaps would take

 

,t.he trouble to inform an old friend and

correspondent on the subject.
It is extremely difficult to arrive at
the truth in times of such intense ex-

citemenl, as the political papers are

filled with contradictory staleliieills,
each of which claims to be true.

Are you acquainted with Alderman

Charles Sumner in ‘I845.

In the or'at.ior- delivered July 4, ‘45.
called the “True Grandeur of Nations,”
Mr. Sumneg first demonstrated to the
world the possession of those brilliant
talents that made him what he is. The
following extract was read by B. Whit_
man, Esq, at the recent pic-nic in Gil-
leue’s Grove :

“ Peace has its own peculiar victories,
in comparison with which Marathon and
Baunockburn and Bunker Hill, fields
field sacred in the history of human
freedom. shall loose their lustre. Our
own Washington rises to atruly Heaven-
ly stature,—not when we follow him
over the ice of the Delaware to the
capture of Tremon—iiot when we behold
him victorious over Cornwallis at York-
town; but when we regard him, in un-
ble deference to justice, refusing the
kingly crown which a failliless soldiery
proffered, and at a later day, upholding
the peaceful neutrality of the country,
while he received unmoved the clamor
of me people wickedly crying for war.
VVhat glory of battle in England's an-
nals will not fade by the side of that
green act of Justice. by which her Leg-
islature at a cost of one hundred million
dollars gave freedom to eight hundred‘
thousand slaves I And when the day
shall come, (may these eyes be gfaddeir
ed by its beams !) that shall witness an
act of greater Justice still, the peaceful
emancipation of three million of our fel-
low-meii “guilty of :1 skin not colored as
as our own,” now held in gloomy bon-
dage, under the constitution of our comi-
try, then shall there be a victory, in
comparison with which that of Blinker
Hill shall be as a farthing candle held
up to the slin. That victory shall need
no monument of stone. It shall be
written on the grateful hearts of un-
counted niuliitudes, that. shall proclaim
if. to the latest. generations. It shall be
one of the great land niarks of civiliza-
tion; nay nibre, it shall be one of the liliks
in the golden chain by winch I-Iumauily
shall connect itselfgvitli the throne of
God.’

“ As the cedars of Lebanon are higher
iluiii the grass of the valley; as the
Heavens are higher than the earth ; as

as the angels are higlie than man; as

he that taketli a city ; so are the virtues
and victories of war.”

The Prospect in Pennsylvania

Tfie I-Ion. William Jesnp of Penn-
sylvania, passed through this city on
Saturday on his way from Sag. Har-
bor to Boston. An old acquaintance
who met him at the Depot, faniilinrly
enquired as to the prospect of Freedom
in that State. His reply was calm,
candid and decided, " Pennsylvania”
said he “ has always been true to the
principles of Freedom, when the issue
has been justly presented and she will
be now.—'I‘here is no good reason to
doubt the result. The people are fairly
aroused, and the vote for Fremont. will
be triiimphant. The 1'illmore party
are u.-:iii_-_r, every exertion to create a
diversion, but their ranks are thinning
every day.”

He further stated that Mr. Buchanan
had never been a strong man in_his own
Slate—and had often been defeated in
his own county. There was no feeling
of Slate pride likely to operate in secur-
ing votesin his favor. H8 C0IlSld'-’l'5
the Slate sure for FREMONT AND
FREEDOM.

The Fillmore Parry,-—Already the
disinlegratioii of the Fillmore party has
commenced. It is breaking up, in spite
of the money and the efforts and the
mass meetings and the slanders got up
by its organs against Colonel Fremont.
Since the Main election the leaders show
signs of going over to Buchanan, while
the rank and file will vote for Fremont.
Such is the natural result. oflhe Fillmore
conglomeralion.—N. Y. Herald.

We perceive by a notice to patients that the eminent
pliysician and surgeon, Dv.. A. S. Heath, of No. 101
_Spring street, opposite the St. Nicholas Hotel, New
York city, lids uobly taken a bold and honorable stand
in a-lvauce of his profession to curtail the sale of worth-
less medicines, and the suppression of the swindles of
self‘-styled pliilantliropists, who pretend to. be able to
cure the most unfortunate class of patents of incurable

sistants who «lance attendance to the tune of a few
llllmlrell 11 .Ye-"~!‘- As their treatment is the same for all
cases the position is a sinecure at that.

But we perceive that Dr. Heath will not permit as-
sistants or students to attend to his patients, preferring
to give those at a distance all the benefit of his skill
and experience at the nominal fee of $5 for advice and
medicines adapted to each individual case, fie a1-so
.-en-ls the first part of his Illustrated work on Chronic
Difmises, to any address on receipt of 10 cents.

Dr. Heath’s references are very many, patients, the
most eminent Professors of the New York Univei-sitv’s

mend any one of the numerous patent medicines which
are ll.|lVeI'tl.\'(.'lI as inflillible remedies for all disease;
known to man. and we believe that but very few of
them have any claims upon our attention. We have
however. liozirol so much in regard to the value of G,
W. Stone-’:i Vegetable Liquid Cathartic as a family med-
icine, that wc deem it just to advise the afflicted to test
its virtiies.—Ii‘o.\-[rm Journal.

IInIIoway’s Pills operate beneficially not only upon
