MASS finfi‘ING.
GRAND RALLY AT THE STATE
CONVENTION !
A Mass Meeting of the Republicans of
New Haven County will be held at New Ha-
ven, on the day of the Convention to nomi-
nate Electors—August 30. After the ad-
journment of the Convention, at meeting will
be organized in National Hall, which will be
addressed by distinguished gentlemen from
abroad and from our own State. In the
evening there will be a Grand Torchlight
Procession in which the Wide Awakes from
all parts of the State are invited to partici-
pate. Delegates to the State Convention are
invited to remain and participate in the meet-
ing, and it is hoped that a full delegation may
be present from all the towns in the State.
Friends of LINCOLN and HAMLIN in every
part of the State are cordially invited.
We should like to see not only our “Wide
Awake Club” there, but also a large body of
N Orwell; wide-awake, thorough-going, active
working Republicans. Arrangements could
be made, we think, with Capt. Greene to
make an Excursion over to New Haven on
Thursday P. M., after discharging his New
York freights, returning on the close of the
' exercises. If a company of two or three or
more hundreds could be gotten up, we pre-
sume the Steamer could be chartered on such
terms as to make the cost to each individual
but a mere trifle. Won’t some of our young
Republican friends set the ball in motion.—
The nights-are moonlight, and the sail in it-
self would prove a most delightful afi‘air,
, ’ aside'from the grand ovation. at New Haven.

E‘ We are indebted to Capt. Joseph P.
Hanford for the following abstract from his
census returns. The increase in Norwalk, it
. will be seen has been as great as almost any
- town in the State, being about 80 per cent:

W The annual meeting of the Danbury
& Norwalk Railroad, which takes place at
Danbury on Thursday, will doubtless prove
a more than ordinary interesting occasion.—
We learn that an excursion car is to be at-
tached to the regular train'for the use of the
officers of the railroad and for their friends.—
Should be glad to be there, did not affairs of
State call us at New Haven.

W“ That horrible case of highway robbe-
ry which so startled our quiet community,
to which we so briefly alluded (ending with
a query) in our last, has, we learn, so for de.
AvellJped itself that the mystery ceases to fur-
ther terrify those having occasion to travel
that secluded portion of the town after night-
fall. Rumor lias it that the victim of the
frightful outrage has refunded a portion of
the money, and promises the remainder,
whereat Mr. Smith, we presume, is satisfied,
and therefore the public will of course be.
In view of the possible innocence of Ir.
Follett, we will add that while the public
. mind has been led to suppose himself the
getter up of the whole affair,those who have
known him longest and best as firmly believe
him to be innocent.

WATER Worms—One of the most impor-
tant improvements as well as popular de-
mands of our town is a competent supply
I of water. One of our citizens who has had
the subject under consideration for a long
time informs us that a spring has been dis-
covered on land belonging to C. N. Case, on
,the high grounds near the Rocks, which, it is
thought would afford an abundant supply
for the entire village and furnish such 2'; head
as would force it to the top of the highest
building in town. We hope to see private
enterprise or public spirit speedily bring
:about the happy consummation.
M.

)Prof! Wise to make a Balloon Ascension

regard to the matter, and a paper is now in
circulationto defi-ay the expenses.

Agricultural.
Ebenezer Betts, Esq, of Wilton, leaves
with us a beautiful sample of a newly intro-
duced variety of Rye, known among farmers
as the white Rye. From an acre and u quar-
ter he harvested thirty—four bushels, and the
kernel is not only larger and the flour whiter,
but turns out several more pounds of flour
to the bushel than the common variety. Mr.
Betts has none of the, grain to spare, yct
gives the result of his experience for the
benefit of his brother farmers, as, the yield
of this var icty is nearly double the common
kind.
J. B. Fish, Esq,, of Westport, sends us a
stem from a. Vicar of Winkfield Dwarf Pear
Tree,whereon grew nine large pears,although
the stem of the branch from which the fruit
depend is less than two inches in length.
A gentleman resident in Norwalk,who has
a son livingin Rockford, 11]., received a let-
ter, under date of August 10th, as follows,
concerning the crop prospects of the great
Northwest:
“Our farmers are having delightful weath-
er to secure their crops. Such crops were
never known before in any country. The
weather was such that planting commenced
as early as the 5th of March, and continued
favorable all the Spring,I so that every piece
of land was planted. achincry is now car-
ried to such perfection that the planting as
well as reaping is done by it. They are be-
ginning to use a reaper here that does not
require binding or stacking, but discharges
the grain into wagons that kceep along side
of the reaper, and then carried into ventila-
ted staCks. One farmer told Mr. R. yesterday
‘he had cut and secured 370 acres of wheat,
only employing one extra hand beyond what
the farm requires at other times._ The low-
est estimate of this small County is that there
will be 1,000,000 bushels of wheat for sale,
that is beyond what is wanted for food and
seed, and twice as much of other grain.
Where the money is to come from to move
this crop is the question.” _

Republican Rally at Darlen.
One of the finest meetings of the Campaign
was that at Darien on Friday night last. It
was a good meeting. The opening address
was made by Mr. Wm. H. Fry, of N. Y.,——-
and an occasional contributor to the columns
of the Tribune- Mr. Ferry followed in an
address of much earnestness and power. He
was followed by Cyrus Northrop, who spoke
with marked ability, and made a decidedly
favorable impression upon his auditory.—
Northrop was followed, by Woodford, who
was cspied in the crowd, and shout upon
shout, brought him to the stand. He shot
off some of his orator-ical sky rockets, and
pleased everybody as is his wont. We don’t
believe a finer meeting—all things consider-
ed—was ever convened in Dai‘ien. The
speakers—with, perhaps, one exception—
gave general satisfaction and delight, and
spoke earnestly and eloquently.
'If there is any one feature in the N. Y.
Tribune which we admire more than anoth-
er, it is for the bold frankness which spares
its friends no sooner than its foes. So in
emulation of that manly courage we must
say, that whatever may be Mr. Fry’s merits
in other departments, public speaking is cer-
tainly not his most successful occupation.—
Somc kind friend ought to haul him off the
track—both for his own sake and the sake of
our cause. Having patiently heard him
through at Darien, we are prepared to ex-
press our entire concurrence in the views of
the Norwich Courier, who thus refers to him :
With reference to Mr. Fry we must say,
that while he was speaking, the idea occur-
red to us that it would have been so delight-
ful if he had only gone to Europe with Dr.
Clieever!
As the matter stands, if the ardent gentle-
man should again stray into a town where a
Republican meeting is assembled, we would
advise the appointment of a special commit-
tee to take him in hand,box him up, label
him “Combustible,” and ship him off by the
express on the underground railroad.

NEW CANAAN.—A grand Concert of more

come off at the Congregational Church on

Wilton Fairs and Pic-Nice .
The Sabbath School of the Congregation-
al Church had a Pic-Nic Festival at Winni-
' pauk week before last, and now the Bold
Hill M. E. Church have one in preparation,
to come off in the adjacent woods Wednes-
day, Sept. 5th; while the Ladies of the Kent
Church hold a Fair and Festival on Tuesday
and Wednesday afternoons and evenings,
the 4th and 5th pi-ox., under the great tent of
the Fairfield County Agricultural Society, to
which “all the world and the rest of man-
(and woman) kind” are invited. The fair‘
matrons and maids of Wilton can’t-be out-
done in Fair matters. They have reduced it
to a. science, and he or she who fails to attend
loses just so much of earthly felicity which
might have been enjoyed, that’s all.
On Thursday evening, while the Tent is
up, it is écontcinplatcd to hold a grand Re-
publican ntification Meeting therein, at
which several distinguished speakers will
hold forth, a more definite announcement of
which will be made in our next.

Deadly Assault in Wilton-
Considcrable excitement has been caused
in Wilton, in consequence of an assault
made upon the person of Wm. S. Cole, a
respectable farmer of that town, by one Da-
vid Fox. We have been furnished from a
reliable source with the following particulars
of the aifray— .
From childhood, Fox has labored under
an infirmity which at times renders him iii-
sane. On Wednesday last, while in a fit of
derangement he entered the house of Mr.
Cole and attempted too great liberties with
his housekeeper. She from fear called Mr.
Cole from the yard and fled to a neighbors.
Mr. Cole on entering the house, directed Fox
to go home and not return; whereupon Fox
made an assault on Mr. Cole with a. chair,
and having floored him, held him down and
plunged a. knife into his neck a little above
the right collar bone, openin the jugular
vein on that side. He then let the house to
pursue the girl. Mr. Cole finding himself
deluged with blood ran out for help, which,
proyidentially was at hand in afew moments
—he all the time holding the wound firmly
and effectually to prevent the loss of blood.
The wound was dressed, and he is domg
well. Fox is confined so as to effectually
prevent any further trouble. D.

GERMAN FESVIVAL.--We are pleased to
learn that the Teutonic members of the New
Canaan Brass Band are to introduce one of
the features of gay and plethoric Fadcrland
——in a sort of National Festival, at New Ca-
naan, on; the 3d of Sept. proximo. Singing
by Concord Glee Club, Music by Brass Band,
games of Target Shooting, Ball, Billiards,
Dancing, Refreshments and Fire Works are
to be among the attractions.
Installation at Darien.
Mr. J. E. Barnes was installed as Pastor of
the Congregational Church in Daricn, by the
Fairfield I’Vest, on Wednesday, Aug. 23.
The order of exercises were as follows :—
Rcading of the Scriptures and introductory
Prayer by Rev. Mr. Anderson, of Stamford ;
Sermon by Rev. Dr. Lindsloy, of Greenwich
Ordaining Prayer by Rev. Mr. Hyde, of
Greenwich; charge to the Pastor, by Rev.
Mr. Atkinson, of \Vcsmort; right hand of
fellowship by Rev. Mr. Jessnp, of Stanwich ;
charge to the people by Rev. Mr. Platt, of
Norwalk; concluding Prayer by Rev. Mr.
Clark, of North Stamford; Benediction by
the Pastor. ~ '
The pastor sustained himself throughout
an unusually severe and thorough examina-
tion with marked ability. On the questions
of Original Sin and Inspiration of the Scrip-
tures, he seems to be a true Disciple of the
Dr. Tyler School of Theology.
The Church seems happily united and in
a thriving condition. A new and beautiful
Parsonage is now being completed, as an in~
viting “home” for the new (and we believe as
yet, batchelor,) pastor, and in which the la-
dies liavc gotten up the Fair and Festival,
announced for tomorrow and next day.

Take Care.
Our Virginia cotcmporary of the Front
Royal Gazette says the gravity of that quiet
and sedate town was sadly disturbed by the
appearance of a calf iii the streets [anything
suggestive of a cow would of course move
Virginians] terrified by having a bell hung to
its neck. The hell, it seems, was indicative,
not only of the load upon the necks of the
Southern democracy these Bell men were
proving to be, and of the fear and trembling
they are there causing the faithful, but was
more immediately designed to advertise a
Bell-everctt meeting to be held at Front Roy-
al. We can assure our Southern friend that
here at the North the democracy would tole-
rate no such disrespect to their faithful allies
the Bell-cverett men, and although at the
South the present degraded and rotten ad-
ministration could be the more effectually
aided and abetted by their going over in a
body and voting straight for Breckenridge,
up here it is different, for they can dclude
into their ranks, so long as they maintain this
separate organization, hundreds of those who
would be found with the Republicans could
they see as clearly as the leaders do that We-
ry vote cast by them goes straight to the sup-
port of the democracy. No, no, friend
Moore, such contemptuous facetiousncss
should be nipped in the bud. These Bell
men, though a damage to yOu at the South,
are nevertheless not only the truest, but the
only faithful allies and friends the democracy
have at the North, and to thuslampoon them
and make them the butt of your corniculate
jokes, may be resented up here, for several Of
them are reputed to be very intelligent men,
who can scent an offense or an office along
way off. Those Virginia wags who belled
that antcccdai’ieous beef,were no more friends
to the South than he who turned his lacteal
bovine loose to terrify the sentry at Harper’s
Ferry. Let them be mobbed at once and
thrust out as Abolition ists ! '

SARATOGA.-—Tlle present has been one of
the gayest seasons ever witnessed at Sarato-
ga, and Norwalk has come in for a fair share
of honors among the “brave men and fair
women” congregated there. At one time
fifty-(no of our citizens were sojoumers at her
hotels. which was the largest number of per-'
sons there from any single town or city save
New York. Ergo, Norwalk ranks next to
New York among Saratogians.
By the way, this reminds us that by a ty-
pographical error in our Saratoga article,
copied from the New Haven Journal last
week, we printed “Mr.” for “2117's.” twice.
Another proof that printers, like other great
and good men, do sometimes make mistakes.
We beg pardon of the slightcd Madanies.
.___\__..‘.».———_—
. WA lady friend in a private note fur-
nishes us with the following incident con-
nected with the domestic relations of our
next President. A friend of our correspon-
dent chanced to stop all night at the same
house in Des Moine where “ Honest Abe”
and his accomplished wife were passing the
night, and gives the following as an incident
of the evening:
‘V‘ In the evening a large company assem-
bled to give Mr. Lincoln a greeting, and
while he was doing the honors below, the
voice of hfrs. Lincoln was heard at the head
of the chamber stairs, calling out ‘ Abic, my
dear, come up and put the children tobcd,’
(two plump little boys.) The President elect
[so continues the narrator] obeyed instantly
as all good husbands would have done."
Our fair contributor,although democratical-
ly allied, affirms that this simple incident of
Honest Abe‘s domestic fidelity and tender-
ness has so influenced her in his favor that
she means to get at least one vote for him!
We hope she will succeed in gutting adozen.
Said a lady to us in Illinois, who knew Lin-
coln, just after the Chicago Convention, in
speaking of him, “we know he isn’t very
ly, and that’s saying a great deal !” We
thought so too, we confess, for his photograph
was before us, and we felt furthermore that
no one can realize how much these words
impart, who have never enjoyed the some
facilities.
Some of our readers will recognize the
story as the same narrated by Mr. N. Y.
Times Raymond in one of his speeches, and
claiming the incident to have occurred in his
presence, but we think our fair informant
tells the story best, as the ladies alw. ys do.

Resolved. That it is the wish of this meeting that

113” The New York Republican State Con-
vention which met at Syracuse on Wednes-
day, was largely attended, and its results
most gratifying. There was no contest for
the principal State Offices. The public voice
had so clearly demanded a re-nomination of
the faithful and worthy incumbents, that
even the formality of a ballot was dispensed
with; and Gov. Morgan and Lieut. Gov.
Campbell re-noniinated by acclamation. In
the selection of the rest of the ticket, there
was great unanimity. ‘ The State Ticket
stands as follow : ‘
For Goa—Enw D. MORGAN, New York.
For Lt-Gov.—ROBERT CAMPBELL, Steuben.
For Uanal C'om’r—SAM’LH.BARNES,CIlcnan go
For Prison Imp—Jae. K. BATES, Jefferson.
ELECTORS AT LARGE.
WM. CULLEN BRYANT“
JAMES O. PUTNAM.
The Commercial says: .
“ The gentlemen nominated for electors at
large are known and respected through the
whole State, and have the personal and po-
litical confidence of all Republicans. ’They
represent, too the principal elements in the
party—frec-soil Democracy and Whigism.—
They are gentlemen of the purest personal
character, of high attainments and occupying
a broader position among their countrymen
than that of mere politicians, though both
earnest in the advocacgrof their political prin-
ciples. The name of V m. C.Bryantis house-
hold word, and honored wherever known.—
That of J times 0. Putnam is also well known.
He was a conservative Whig, and though for
some time in his private judgment disposed
toward Republicanism, only openly avowed
his affiliation with it when the nomination of
“honest Abraham Lincoln” was made. Like
his fellow—electoral at-large, Mr. Putnam is a
gentleman of literary and classical tastes, and
is moreover an eloquent and popular speak—
er—a true gentleman, genial in his nature,
cordial in his manners; and as far above
every thing small, narrow or illiberal as it
is possible for a man to be.” .
It will be admitted by every candid man
that the Republican National Convention far
exceeded the other three in the two impor:
tant, we may say essential, elements of suc-
cess—unity of sentiment and enthusiasm of
purpose. Indeed the contrast in this respect
was most marked, and was universally felt to
be an augury of Republican success. This
geod omen was no less apparent at the New
York Republican State Convention. Never
5 a more marked unanimity displayed, or
a more intense earnestness and enthusiasm,
while a confidence of success was universally
felt that amounted to a decided buoyancy.—
There was not a jar from first to last, though
independence of thought and speech had full
play. The Convention was one for a great
party to be proud of, and was a sure precur-
sor of final triumph.
The first resolution of the Convention af-
firms that the Chicago platform, and nothing
else, in" the creed of the Republican party.—
Tlic Republicans of New York, by their pro-
perly constituted convention of delegates or
representatives, have solemnly declared that
they accept that platform, and have no desire
to “alter one line or word of that masterly
patriotic declaration of political faith.”

W“ The Courier and Enquirer, and the N.
Y. Times are achin to get up a quarrel with
Greeley, of the NgY. Tribune. To us here
in the “rural districts,". the attacks of Messrs.
Webb and Raymond upon Greeley only have
the effect of putting Greeley in higher esti-
mation and his assailants a few pegs lower.
Greely upsets the temper of his assailant-s by
his coolness, , He prints their attacks in his
paper without note or comment. That’s too
bad, Greeley—it is hardly fair to “heap coals
of fire” on their flat pales when you know
a slight singe carries off the major portion of
their brains. Seriously, whatever the pbjcct
of this onslaught on, Greeley may be, it will
most likely return upon his assailants to their
damage and discomiiture.——Had(lmn Journal.

have been more than half converted to lio-
publicanisni by his visit to Illinois. ()niil-
tingr his description of Linwln, his family
residcnce and his frank lull about slavery
and politics, the following var-igruphs, as
as to the feeling of his iicignoors and towns-
nicn seem to be written honestly and to give
a fair account:
After a pretty thorough investigation, I
find that there is not one man in this region
who says a word a rainst the honesty of
Abraham Lincoln. 'lhey like his sociability
and his fainiliarity.‘ He is universally regard-
C(l asn plain, unassuming man, possessing
strong co ininon sense, wedded to u quickness
of perception that detects the right from the
wrong and winnows the chaff f i'oni:thc wheat-
whether the question be one of legal charac-
ter orthc sclectionof a true man from an
ilnpostor. ‘lVbat do you think of Lincoln
as a 11111.11 ?' I asked of it resident of Spring-
field. ‘1 like him as a man, and everybody
else can’t help but do the some. He is lion-
cst, talks sense, and is not tooproud to" sit
down upon his doorsteps in his shirt sleeves
and chat with his neighbors.’ ‘I have al-
ways been a Democrat, but I am almost iii-
clincil to vote for Lincoln.’ ‘Will the split in
the Democratic party prove of any service
toLincoln in Illinois ?’ ‘Yes, 511'. Egypt is
almost wiped out as a Democratic strong-
hold, and with scarcely a hope to elect Doug-
las to the presidency, there are many who
will, from state pride, vote for Lincoln, as
they think there is a good 'chance for his
election.’ '
Among all the candidates for the Presi-
dency of the United States now in the field,
Abraham Lincoln of Illinois seems to be re-
garded by the people here as the only one
who presents the appearance, emphatically
and literally, of the man of the people.—
\Vitliout ostentation, without reserve, Willi-
out any of those exquisitely polite attentions
one finds in the man of the world, and espec-
ially in the aspiring. politician, nurtured in
the patrician atmosphere of Washington,
Lincoln both looks the man, acts the gentle-
man, and mirrors at once the astute states-
man and the firmness‘if the rigid executive
officer. The people say they have long
wanted a president free from the corrupt
influence whicha long official residence at
the seat of government is calculated to entail;
and from what I have heard and seen, with—
in the spacc of a few months, a majority of
the people of the North, and not a few at the
South, are satisfied that in Lincoln they
have found aman who comes nearer to a
representation of their ideas in this respect
than any other namcdcandidate. Presidents
Harrison and Taylor—good men in their
way—did not, it is true, vegetate in the hot
bed of Washington political influences; but,
unfortunately, they bOth soon withered and
(lied undcrihcm, after a brief occupancy of
the presidential chair. But Harrison and
Taylor were old; and one was superannu. -
ted before he assumed the reins of govern-
ment. and the other became so shortly after
he did. Lincoln is in the prime of life and
vigor—as strong,lithc and as energetic as al-
most any public iiian of his age, and showing
in features, his movements and manners, his
intellect, his knowledge of law, govern-
ment, and the organic rules that sway men
and found systems, evidences that he cannot
easily be swerved from a purpose be conceives
just to his countrymen. That’s what his
friends say."
Stephen A. Douglas on Henry Clay.
In his speech at Norwich on Tuc'sday, says
the N. 11. Lbu-rz'er, the Senator from Illinois
took occasion to speak of Hpnry Clay in the
most culogistie terms. He was the embodi-
ment of all that was great and good in states-
inunsbip—so the-:1 Senator from Illinois
.aid. \Vhilc the Senator from Illinois had a
tongue, nobody should impeach the memory
of Henry Clay. This was not the first time
the Senator from Illinois had alluded to
“Harry of the West.” In a speech delivered
at Carrolton, Greene 00., Illinois, in 1844,
the Senator spoke of him in the following
terms: ,
“I denounced him in the Congress of the
United States, and I now denounce him as a

NORTH AND SOUTII.-—Tlie Baltimore Pa-
triot says : . ‘
“At the North the watering places are fil-
ling up, and especially with Southern visi-
tors. The twaddle, so much in vogue a few
years ago, of soutlierners shunning the north-
ern states, and seeking only the rendezvous
within their own borders, has died out, not-
withstanding the present‘hnpending crisis’ of
Messrs. Yancey & Co. People ofsense, both‘
North and South, go just exactly where their
inclination lead them. And in this they fol-
low that universal low and custom which
binds everywhere alike. When Southern
merchants want northern manufactures, or
southern planters seek change and a colder
climate, they will go north to find them, just
as they of the northern states seek health,
or cotton, or rice, or sugar in the south ern
States.”
PATRIOTIC Ponrricmxs—Tlie States and
Union has been overhauling the Brecken-
ridge National Committee. It finds that
Moses McDonald, the member from Maine,
is collector at the rate of $3,000 per unnum;
Vermont is represented by H. E. Stoughton,
.District Attorney; Hon. T. B. Florence is
inspector of the Philadelphia Nav ' Yard;
Augustus Schell, Collector of New 'ork, re-
ceiving probably $40,000 per annum in fees
and salary; Isaac H. Wright of Massachu-
setts, superintcnds Springfield Armory for
$2,500 per annum; F. H. Hatch of Louisiana
receives a large salary as Collector of New
Orleans; IV. S. V Prentiss ot‘Ohio, is Mail
Agent at a salary of $2,500; and so on to the
end of the chapter.
—-The story is told of a Clerk at \Vnsbing-
ton, who, on being urged to subscribe for the
Breckenridge fund, mindful of the Pittsburgh
lctter posted off to see his Excellency on the
propriety of making subscriptions. Mr. Bu-
chanan stated at the time of writing the letter
he hoped to crush out the practice, but it was
in vain. He saw no objections at this time
to small subscriptions.
—Mr. Buchanan is more unlucky about the
Postoflice oflicials at Rutland, Vermont, than
at any other point. Thither has arrow sped
and sped in vain. Mr. Kane was removed
for Douglusism in March last, and Mr. Hall
wns'appointcd. The latterdraving recently
proved unfaithful, a person named McDan-
icl was appointed in his place. N ow it turns
out thateMcDaniols left town to meet Judge
Douglas on the occasion of his late visit to
Rutland, and rode about tlietown with him
in precession, introduced friends, dzc. So
says the Rutlnnd Courier.
The Phil. Press, in an article on Gen.
Foster, democratic candidate for governor of
Pennsylvania, says:
“A sepia-ale Douglas clccloml ticket will cor-
lulnly he formed, and Gen. Foster must choose
between such a ticket and the mongrel com-
bination supported by the officials on the

ShouldLincoln be chosen President there
will be a sad and inournful procession, of dil-
apidated Office-11010013 from the various dc-
‘partmcnts. Protected, as Mr. Lincoln would
be, free from the avalanche of Southern ap-
plications. which has rolled in so terribly up
on every new President since the oi-gnnim-
tion of the Government, and no doubt r93-
cued by patriotic resignations on the part of
those who declare that his election will dis-
solve the Union, it will be a most significant
spectacle to see men who have grown gray in
office—who are, indeed, the checks, stops and
obstacles ofthe great circumloeution system
which has become a vast evil here—turning
their trembling steps to the homes they so
rarely see, and to the avocations they have
so long abandoned. l-Ve shall ascertain then
whether certain men- are indispensable in
the management of public affairs—whether
the Union wtll collapse like a great balloon
when the gas of the official fire eaters is
withdrawn from Washington, and whether
new men and fresh-men may not be able to
prove that this Republic depends upon no
particular individual, and that a change, no
matter how drastic and purging it may some-
times be, may not save a billions system.—
The venerables who carry gold canes along
the avenue every day at 1 o‘clock P. M., at
$1,800 a year apiece, and who have grown
gouty before dusty desks and cozy snuggcries
realize the possibility of a new regime.—
Their dissolution of the Union is their remo-
val from office; their idea of the death ofthe
Democratic p arty is the receipt of a yellow
envelope enclosing a polite request to leave;
and their only idea of a violation of the Con-
stitution is the apprehension that the places
which know them now, may, after the fourth
day of March, 1861, know them no more for

THE LIvER Pius—The Liver Pills of Dr.
M’Lane were first used by him exclusively in
his own practice. So eflicacions were they
in all cases of Liver Complaint, that they be-
came famous, and attracting the attention of
the mediculfiiculty, passed into general use.
They act with great certainty and regularity;
the patient almost immediately feels the dis-
persion of his disease, and is gradually restor-
ed to health. \Vith some the effect is almost
miraculous, frequently experiencing immedi-
ate relief, ufter having ior months resorted
to drugs and medicines of another description
in vain, Diseases of the Liver are very com-
mon in this country, and are often frightful
in character. Those Who experience any of
the premonitory symptom of this dangerous
and complicated disease, should at once pro-
cure a box of Dr. M’Lane’s Pills, prepared
by Fleming Bros. of Pittsburgh, and perhaps
thereby, be saved a world of misery.
Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR.
M’LANE‘s CELEBRATED VERMIEUGE, manu-
factured by FLEMING Enos, of Pittsburgh,
Pa. All other vermifuges in comparison are
worthless. Dr. M’Lanc’s celebrated Vermi-
fuge, also his celebrated Liver Pills can now
