But I-zlfnow, and you know that if in those

the school house cannot go tliere_;.we know
that freedom of speech cannot exist there.—
wc know that, for. the best interests of all the

ed free from the'bligh in ; influence Oilmmsn

If'tliemp'eople of the old Stateschoose to
retain the system of slavery I'cannotI help it.
I am: not responsible; for it. NO pohtical re-
sponsibility devolves on me for the action of
South .Carolinaand Georgia any more than
for the action of Russia and .FranCe. There-
fore. in regard to slauery in those. States I
have no political. duty to discharge. But
over- the inhabitants of the territories beyond
the Mississippi the civil and political jurisdic-
tion-is, by theti‘eaties of purchase, vested in
you and me, the people of'.the United States ;
and we arennder a solemn responsibility to
God, to our posterity, to the States that in
furture shall grow up there—we are under a
solemn responsibility to see that the institu-
tions of those communities shall he moulded
wisely and well. That is what we republi-
cans, we Americans, we of the People’s party
we Whigs, who join in this great A incoln
movement mean to do. (Applause.
One thing more I wish to say‘. In the ad,-
ministration ,of this government a political or-
ganization ought to bend its energies to the
preservation of the integrity of this Union.—
(Applause) AndI chargeupon the Demo-
cratic organization persistent faithlessness to
theintegrity of‘ the Republic. This winter,
in my seat in the House of Representatives,
I have heard dozens of Democrats, rising in
their places, denounce the Union, and declare
their intention of destroying ii, in the event
that the people, exercising their will his. con-
stitutional mode, should effect aparticular re-
shlt; and during the whole of that 1011 con-
test for..Speaker I never heard. a single em-
ocratfin‘ the House of Representatives rebuke
those tréasonable expressions. In addition to
that, I may say I never heard from a Whig,
I never heard from an American, I never
heard .fi‘om a member of the People’s party of
Penns lvania, . or ‘ the Opposition .party of
New ' ersey, [never heard froma Republican
one word that expressed aught but devotion
and heartfelt affection to the Constitution and
the Union of these States. I charge, too, up-
on this Democratic organization that it has
hugged these traitors to its bosom. Instead
of displacing them from the high posts of
power, it retains them there, it rewards trea-
son, it honors secession, .it seems to glory in
disunion. Yet the members of that party
dare-to call us disunionists.
Fellow citizens, because this administra-
tion, representing the democratic organiza-
tion. has attempted to undermine our free iii-
stitutiohs by destroying the purity of the bal-
lot box—because it has set up riew and mon-
archial notions of government from {the high
places of the land—because it has resisted
that most ‘benificent of modern measures, the
Homestead bill—because it has used all its
efforts to extend human .bondage over the
territories—because it has cherished and re-
warded disunion sentiments—I arraign it
here before you, the people of this great-com-
mercial city, the heart, as it were, of this
Confederacy, out of which, from old Indepen-
dence Hall, flows the life-blood that beats in
all the arteries of the Republic; and I ask
you, as loyal sons of freedom-loving fathers,
to come now to the rescue of the government
from the hands of those who are perverting
to the basest uses all its noblest functions.
We must regenerate the old era-Of honesty
and integrity, when we did. not expect a
President. or a cabinet officer, or any other
high official, to be guilty of plunging deep in-
to the mire of peCuniary corruption. --Fcllow
citizens, I do believe from the demonstrations
which I have witnessed in New England and
Pennsylvania—from the manifestations of
popular feeling which are now coming up
from all portions of the country—I do believe
that the time has really come when the gov-
ernment is to be restored to the purity of the
fathers. (Applause) Of one thing I can
speak confidently. From what I have learn-
ed of the character and career of, Abraham
Lincoln, I can say that the days of the admin-
istration of Thomas Jefferson and James
Madison will return when Abraham Lincoln
sliallbe placed in the Presidential chair.

THE CHEMISTRY OF MEdICINE.—Among
the special delights wliiclrliave so richly re-
paid our visit to New England, was the in-. -
spection it was our privilege to make of Dr.
J. Ayer & Co.’s Labratory at Lowell. Al—
though we knew by hear-say, that it was
large, yet were we surprised when we came
into view of its real magnitude, and still more
by the extent and complication of its truly
immense business. The whole massive struc-
ture. is in fact one vast chemical labratory, in
which the processes of this Wonderful art
are constantly going on. ‘MediIco-clieniical
science has found that the curative properties
of any substance exist in some one or more of
of its component parts. Thus the remedial
effects of opium are due solely to the mor-
phia it contains, although this is but’oue
eighteenth part of its weight; the other- sev-
enteen parts are gum, extractive, inert or of-
fensive matter. Dr. Ayer’s System separates
the medical properties of each substance cm— '
played and we are here shown the processes
by which the cirluaiof each remidial agents
are chased through the" aleinbics until they
come out completely pifre at 'last. These
concentrated, purified medical properties, or
virtues ai'eiinally combined togeth, .to pro
duce the remedies which have m; egthem-
selves areputation for unrivalled excellence,
all over the world. Not only does the Doc-
tor disclaimall secrecy in his art and explain
every process and every particular, but he
inaintalns‘tli‘at’this is the only ' proéess by
whiclfthe people. can be supplied withthe
best possible remedies for the treatment of
disease. "The Foruiula by which his reme~
dies are’made are published in the Medical
Journals and :have been presented to a large

Raymond vs. Gre'eley
That pure-minded, consistent, and «long-

Raymond, of the N. Y. Times—whose, paper
has done more to chill the ardor and dampen
the enthusiasm of the Republicans ‘of Con-
necticut, than all the locofoco journals in the.
country—joins his lainentations with the wail

tions for themes of assault upon the Republi.
can cause, ought of itsel‘ to satisfy any un-
prejuciced mind of the sincerity of his pres-
ent course, were any further evidence waut~
ing. But, in view of other facts, we can but
believe, that as heretofore, Mr. Raymond is
now willing to grasp what he believes a
present [maniacs advantage over the Tribune,
among such as may be nursed into a feeling,
of hostility to that journal in consequence of
Mr. Greelcy’saction at Chicago—and that a
sincere desire to promote the success of our'
cause does not ' enter into his calculations.—_
’We happened to occupy a seat adjoining Mr.‘
Raymond, in his trip, from Niagara Falls to
Buffalo, on the evening of the 13th ult., and;
we‘ should like to ask him, if his conversa-
tion on that occasion was not denlviw of the
ardor with which the Seward men were
pressing his claims, and in ridibule of the
idea of his being nominated ? If it was not,
we; are very greatly mistaken in a conversa-
tion whichwe took no interest in at the time,
but. were compelled to overhear.

Editorial Correspondence of Gazette.
At the close of our former letter, we had
: carried the reader up to Thursday evening‘s
adjournment of the Convention, and us the
result of Fl‘idlay‘s proceedings have all
, long. since reached the public eye through
, other channels, we will only stop to give a
' few incidents of the prongSs of the three
ballotiugs. For full two hours before the
doors of the “ \Vigivam“ were opened, a mo-
ving tide 'of human beings were surging eve-
ry lime and avenue leading thereto, and in-
stantly, upon the , hour of opening, every
square inch, every nich, brace, or pendant
post was crowded, pressed, jammed and cov-
ered with breathing humanity, so that the
edifice, designed by mathematical calculation
for ten thousand persons to stand in, must,
at this point, have contained a dense mass of
froni‘fiftceii to eighteen thousand souls! One
could scarce turn himself in the spaée‘allot-
had ‘for the press and alternate" delegates
without wrenching the clotli'esi’off his per— ‘
sour Yet‘tliis' pressure - within,"we are as-
sured, bore. no comparisbu to the thousands
upon thousands eagerly pressing about the
building from without, all» earnest;~ intent and
eager to catch the- first tidings of- the ballot.
At length, amid almost breathless silence the
States began to be called. One and another
of the distinguished gentlemen whose names
had been canvassed in connection with the
Presidential nomination were declared for,
but it was only when the. name of Seward‘or
Lincoln caught the popular car, did it send
batik any responsive echo.
liile w. werc,aiid had been free to assert
that if our individual vote cOuld make any
man Presz'dmt, we should unhesitatingly give
it to Mr. SEWARD first and before all others,
yet as a delegate we could never, in full view
of all the circumstantial, -vote»to place him
in nomination at this juncture, as a candidate
for election. This was, in fact, the general
feeling towards Mr. Seward on the part of
those whose sense of duty to the Republican
cause induced them to vote for another
standard bearer 1 our surveys of the puff
litical field, long )eforc our visit to the Chi-
cago Convention, we had settled down on
“ Honest. old ABE" as in all respects the man
for the occasion, and from the time we left
Niagara Falls we had felt morally certain of:
his nomination. IVc remember now of our.
friend \Voodford’s questiouiiigs for the rea-
sons of the faith we had expressed, and we
then told him we. felt sure of his nomination
from the simple fact that. he was the first
choice of very many, and the second choice of
EVERYBODY—an assumption ultimately veri-
fied to the letter. ’ . -
Entertaining the convictions and preferen-
ces we have indicated, we were not slow to
detect in the popular response, which candi-
datc,(of the only two which touched the vi-
tal chords of the people’s heart,) had the ad-
vantage in that vast assembly. ' The name“
bf Seward brought out cheer upon cheer,
loud and long, but on every mention of LIN-
COLN there. was an instant, electric uprising
to the feet and’outbursts of applause which
seemed to sweep and sway the entire mass as
if by one moving, overpowering impulse !—-
And when, on the third ballot. long before the Sec-
retarles had footed the result,four votes were changed
to him from Ohio, the vast auditory, bya sort of psy-
chological muemonics, at once comprehended that he
was nominated, and such a tornado of applause as
swept and shook that edifice, languu.is perfectly
impotent to describe!
It Seemedto us as if every man and woman in that
vast assemblage had hadthrccfcet added to their
stature, and as they rose'and joined' in united peal
upon pea], and waving of hats, hqndkerchicfs, &c.,
it seemed to us as if the cataract of Niagara would
be almost hushed to silence in the presence of such
a demonstration. We saw stout-hearted and sinewy
breasted men of stalwart form, overcome with cum-
tiou sink down to weep like little children, their ri-

to make. the very foundations (if the earth tremble.
Never before in our lives have we been permitted so
fully to realize how awfully and. grandly sublime a
thing it is to see. the earnest, throbbing heart of a
mighty people stirred to its fountain depths; nor
have we ever comprehended, as we do now, the force
of the adage “ I’m: popull, l’oz' ' Del.” But why at-
tcmpt description, when description is impossible.
Suffice it. to say that it was one of those events in the
life-time of all present, which can never be. efi‘accd
from the memory.

the roar of cannon, followed up at ' evening by the

”"0! course, the ininutite in details it is not my
purpose to transcribe, as you have already given
place to them in another form. . The only strong feel-
ings of personal attachment exhibited, as we have.
before intimated, were on the part of Mr. Seward‘s
supporters, and when Mr. Evarts rose and iii a voice,
while it betrayed a tone of sadness, cheerfully gave
in the acquiescence and allegiance of New York to
the nomination, it seemed as if the very acme of joy
had been reached by Lincoln’s friends, and an an ad-
journment was made, for no other apparent cause
than to give all an opportunity to still further vent
their feelings and congratulate each other and the
country upon the grand and harmonious result. And
that we have an almost Omnipotent power before the
country, in this speedy, united,‘and cordial nomina-
tion, who shall dare deny? i Even the locus “ believe
and tremble.” W'c mention it as a fact, upd not by
way of partizun boasting,.that there was not a demo-
crat; with whoni‘Wc‘had any opportunity to converse,
who had fallen within-the contagion of. this Conven-

written statement of our prorecdingson that occa—

’l‘licnight before the excursion, the lllt'llllwl'rl of
the Club, (wiioscpatronyniic initials, are alphabet i-

that we would visit the Ridgcflelil R. R. Station, cx-

lcudunce of our trusty comrade H.,—the other that
the committee of ways and means deliberate, act and

portcd'as follows: “Our considerate Hostess has
ordered a first. rate lunch to be put up, under a rea-
sonable conviction that we will know how to put it
(loam. Bartram sends from his ample Livery Stable,

that arrived, we departed, with natural spirits good

seven miles we beheld some very dark looking ob-
jectsIrapidly advancing, and threatening to surround
us. We all felt somewhat animated in view of the
“irrepressible conflict" approaching; 0111' cheerful
John was: more exposed than the rest, yet he kept
perfectly cool.. He couldn’t help being so—for our
contest was with a body of black clouds, pouring out
such volumes of water upon nathat we thought our
selves in the midst of ustampede of the elements.
However, We steadily kept on and reached “ The
Ralf-Way House” of Mr. Sherman Beers, fourteen
miles from Norwalk, nta little past. 4 o’clock. Here
we. had reason to feel that “our, lines had fallen in
pleasant places." The Landlord soon had for us a
comfortable fire; and shortly afterwards it was dcm~
onstrated that .his wife perfectly understood that
much neglected but useful art, good housekeeping.
, All the appointments of the breakfast table were
clean, thus adding value to the substantial viands we
found iii profusion. The coffee was aromatic, the
tea fragrant, the ham and eggs good and abundant,
the potatOes large and mealy (they were grown at
that place), and the bread and butter right temptlng.
We had plenty of milk, too, in the way we like it,—
the («chat fluid from' Mrs. B’s _cows is so pure that
there is no necessity to wash it. "After breakfast, we
inquire of the old settlers whether they had any-trout ‘
in their streams, “None now,"was the reply—“many
years ago, ii few were taken—but none are left." Iii-
credulously, we turned to the sympathizlng Laud-
lord to know if he believed the discouraging asser-
‘tion. He said he had lived there niiic years,.and du-
ring that period had heard of only three little thinrrs
thch were called trout. He sou ht to console us By
the rospcct of catchinc pike in t c ponds. We res-
pon ed that we came not for pike—could ct enough
of such fish a few hundred yards from our otel—wc
would refer gathering a crop ofbull-fro s—but first
would ook, ourselves, for the article we rid traveled
through the storm to obtain. Accordingly we scatter-
ed on trial investigation; There is a bridge close by
i the Iiin,—one of our members went there and gently
dropped his angle in a beautifully cur-11mr ripple; u
large trout instantly took the worm and Icavmg the
limerick, disap eared.- In a few in notes, hmvever,
he returned, an was persuaded to come ashore:-
Ilis weight was precisely one pound and 11-bit". This
lift inspired us all with brightly beaming hope.—
SinkingFaith revived. We continued prospecting
' little rapids and deep holes. The result was flfi‘ly-
eight veritable trout. and a larger number of perc .—
Before the P. M. train passed on its downward trip,
we met a genuine adni rer of the rod and reel (Mr. 1 .
to whom our. gratitude is due), who, kindly volun-
tecred to take to Nor-walk two living specimens,—onc
weighing 1 1-2 lbs.,-tbe ~ other 8 MIL—forwarded as

(Tuesday) Evening at Sellecks Book Store.“-

Mr . Perry on the Stump.
We give on our outside a condensed report
of Mr. FEnnv‘s speech at the great Philadel-
phia Ratification. meeting. We have since
received a copy of the Harrisburgh Tele-
graph, containing a notice of a large and en-
tliusiastic ratification Meeting held there and
presided over by Hon. SIMON CAMERON, and
addressed by Mr. FERRY. It is announced as
the largest political gathering ever convened
in that section. We copy from the Telegraph
as follows,
After concluding, the Presidentingroduced
to the meeting Hon. Onurs S. FERRY, of Con-
necticut, who was 'greetcd,_witli a genuine
Pennsylvania welcome.~ This gentleman
made one of the best political speeches we
ever have listened -to—-and that is saying- a
great deal. His language was uuexception-
abki, many of his illustrations pointed and
beautiful, and the whole speech augmenta-
tive, logical and eloquent. He painted the
monstrous iniquities of the present National
Administration with a master hand, and held
up to full view, the fraud, corruption and ty-
ranny which have characterized it from first
to last. His exposition of the, principles of
the great Republican party was thorough
and-satisfactory - and his assault fiipon‘ the
anti-Tariff, anti-Free Home, pro-Slavery and
Territorial policy of the Locofoco party, was
.overwlieliiiingaud uuauswerublc. He closed
with an emphatic endorsement of LINCOLN
and HAMLIN, and-'congratulated the audience
upon the glorious opening of the campaign,
and the cheering indications that we are soc.-
to have inaugurated “An. honest Atllllinislil'fk
tion of the Goveninient." , The distinguished
speaker was .wu'mly; applauded from‘ the
opening to the Close of his cquuent address,
and for some iuinutes‘iifier he retired from
the stand the crowd indulged in the most eii-
tliusias'tic applausef __ ' ‘ -
Hon. J OJEPH CASEY, our delegate to the.
fiCliicago Convention, was thcucalle‘d out, and
taking the stand deliver'cdan able and—cuter-
tainiug address, in. the 2 course ,of which he
paid a well merited tribute to the eloquent
gentleman from Connecticut, 'Mr. FERRY, who
made the opening speech. thanking him, in
behalf of the meeting, for his able, eloquent
and successful exposition Iaiid vindication of
the principles of the Republican party ;' and
pleasantly remarked that we liadItlie‘ evidence
tO-lllglltI that ’ “ Connecticut produces some-
thing else than wooden nlitiiiegs.” _ This elic-
ited a perfect- storm of applause . and cheers
for “old Coniiecticut.”-. . .
After'thc adoptioIi of the resolutions, and

RIDCEEIELD.—-Quite an excitement has
prevailed in tliistown for some two or three
weeks past, in consequence of the breaking
out of the small pox in several places in the
town. Mr. Lyman Reynolds was the first to
break out, and as he had no previous knowl-
edge of having been exposed, and laid been
_ . burning brush, it was at first supposed he had
been poisoned, and his attending physician
took it himself and probably gave it to one of
his patients. The whole number of cases up
IOTIIIS time are but four, and it is hoped that
its further spread will be prevented.

NATURE is THE GREAT PuvsicrA.\'.—This is now
admitted by the medical profession, as a fundamental
principle of healing science. It is wisely provided
by the human economy, that whenever anything is
wrong in the physical Fl‘stein, the natural forecs of.
the body are brought to Dell! to expel the disease.—
The great aim, therefore, is to strengthen the natural“
powers. This has been kept in view by the skillful;
compounders of Dr. J .- HosTrTTEu‘s BIT-nits, which
'opei-ate' to give fresh vitality to all the organs of the
body. The effect of this medicine upon the stomach,
the liver and the kidneys, are prompt and decisive...
The patient who is wise enough to quit dragging and
try the “ Bitters,” soon feels as if he had taken anew
lease of life, and as he continues the use of the article
he is overjoyed to find the streams of health coursing
through his frame. Let all, from whose check the
bloom has departed, give Dr. J. Hostener’s Celebra-
ted Bitters o‘trlnl. '

NEW YORK, August 3, 1852,
I do hereby certify that I have been suffer-
ing from a pain in my side and breast for a
long time .and after trying meny remedies
came to the conclusion that my liver was af-
fected. I immediatel commenced using Dr.
M’Lanes Celebrated ice'r Ellaprepared by
Fleming Bros, of Pittsburgh, and the few that
I have taken have already given me more re-
lief than all the other medicincsl have taken
put together. I Went to a clairvoyant to-
consult. him; after examining me carefully,
he advised me to continue the use of Dr. I ’-
Lane’s Pills; that they would effectually cure
