A VERY UUCJJE.— A GENTLEMAN who, for three year# past, had ltfti

ber-sia, yesterday stated that he had been ntv curcd bv the of Hurle Mull's and

cnurvly curcd by the of Hurley'# Sarea -pal ill*. He had previ«uly trifd Mu Baud's, bat Hurley'* WM the only effectual remedy. Go to Bacon, Hv«le, & Co., 37 Main *lre«t."and procure a trial bottle.—iSt. Louis Exiling Mtrror-

The Blind Asylum and G. W. Ames. A few days ago, we published a list of charges preferred against G. W. Ames, Superintendent of the Blind Asylum, by thirty-one of the pupils of that institution. Sinct then, Mr. G.W. Ames has published a long letter in the State Sentinel, denying a part of the charges, and trying to explain away the others. Though, upon the whole, we think the Superintendent makes a rather lame defence, tre are unable to laj his letter before the public. The Journal, of Thursday last, contains another letter from the pupils of the Asyhim, reiterating the charges, and adding one or two others. Not knowing the facts in the case, we, of course, decline giving an. opinipn in the matter, merely desiring to call public attention to the existence of the difficulty, and leaving to the proper authorities to investigate the matter thoroughly, and to vindicate the right But of one thing we desire to speak, and that is the unwise policy of permitting politics to have any influence in selecting men to fill sueh stations. This is one of the greatest ev'ls attending party bigotry and intolerance. The first question to be decided by those having the appointing power is, does he belong to the right political party?—fitness for the position being a matter of secondary importance. Mr. Churchman, who managed the institution in question, from its first opening, if we mistake not, rendered himself peculiarly beloved by all the pupils, and no doubt of his efficiency ever existed, so far as we can learn. The whole "head and front of his offending" seems to have been his not belonging to the dominant party. That was enough, however much of merit he possessed—whatever fitness for the position—however much the good of the institution demanded lis continuance—this bane of our national prosperity and glory {Party) demanded his removal, and that demand was inexorable. Wo remember the excitement it produced, and the many harsh things then spoken by the opposition, and we remember our own private feelings on the subject but the the Dem-

Snow Vothingi VS. Platforms. The founders of the American Party having long witnessed and closely watched the corrupting tendency of parity strife, and the fearful increase of foreign influence over American Iustitutions, conceived the basis upen which I these things might be checked, if propjerly and carefully guarded. Their plan was a practical one, and stood upon a platform truly American, embracing principles which are the only safeguard to American liberty, and when once properly understood could hardly be supposed to meet with opposition from any one claiming to be American, unless that opposition was prompted solely through selfish motives by designing political demagogues. It is evident from the very nature of the declared principles of the American Part\, that they were determined to ignore all issues which have divided the Whig aud Democratic parties, leaving their members unfettered on all subjects, save that which would strengthen the bonds of brotherhood, and thereby perpetuate the union of the States

If either party had attempted such a move, that move would have died the very hour in which it was conceived. Then, we ask, in the name of reason, where does the authority come from, to introduce these sectional end local issues?—issues that have long divided the American people, and, perhaps, will to the end of eternity. If designing men have crept into the order, with such an object in view, we leave the people to judge of their devotion to

American principles. They alone are responsible for the present disorganized state of affairs, and a just rebuke awaits them from a source they least expect it.

In this connection we have been asked how we can consistently oppose the Indiana Platform, when we stood upon the same in substance, last year. This is easily answered, to-wit: We did not regard the platform last year, not a bit more than we did the plagues of Egypt, and in doing so then and refusing the present one, we claim more consistency than those who formed them ought to claim, knowing, as they did, that such a move would breed disorder.

Last year the platform was never laid before this council—neither was there my action taken upon it, directly or indirectly. Our candidate made no pledges to the order more than his obligation enjoined upon him when he entered the order. With this exception he went forth unfktered, the choice of the order, and the issues that sprung up during the canvass, were not forced upon him. but he Was at liberty to choose his own side. We had hoped that the same course would have been pursued this year, but have been disappointed. Side issues have been embraced—the cloven foot that has been treading the council chambers for the past vear, could not longer tread lightly over sacred rights, but has shown his iron-heel of tyranny, and now stalks forth, bidding defiance to all parties. Thus the monster was conceived in deception and born in the house of purity and innocence, and now the issue stands thus (uot "Clinton and peace," or "Madison

his removal to make room for one of tne the Whig who act thus, is consistent, Faithful, and that had to suffice.— and any other course would be but the

gCholera in Sallivan.

We learn from a gentleman just from Sullivan, (24th,) that the town is deserted, there being but one family in the place who have not got the cholera, and that there will not be persons enough (unless the doctor's doit,) to bury the dead, as there area number expected to die, about all who are able to leave having become alarmed at the ravages committed by this scourge in their midst- have fled from the town. Some are in the country adjacent there

to, some »re here in Decatur, and oth-

ers scattered elsewhere among their friends. The town has hitherto been

considered very

fearful sweep there now. Decatur {Ills.) Chronicle.

HEAVY ROBBERY IN CHICAGO.-—Mr. S. D. CARPENTER, editor of the Wisconsin Patriot, was robbed last Tuesday night, on the cars, at some point between Adrian and White Pigeon, of near eleven thousand dollars, mostly in Ohio and Indiana bills. Mr. C. has no clue to the robber or robbers, as the small sa chel, containing the money, and which he kept close to his person, must have been taken while he was drowsed—Ex.

We dont ranch like to telieve that story without some explanation. The lea of an Editor out of New York having eleven thousand dollars is most tou strong for our weak digestion.

$3T The Boston Courier says of the late Joseph Foster of that .city: "Ilis memory was such that he could repeat almost the whole ofShakpeare, his favorite bard. Disputes in regard, to correct readings were often submitted to him, and his decisions when compared with the text, were invariably fouud to be correct.".

BEE MOTH.—Where peach leaves, pounded with salt, are put under a beehive, I have not seen a bee-moth. Although my hives have- heretofore suffered much from this source the adoption of this plan has caused the moths to come out missing.—Prairie Farmer.

Advice.

The State Sentinel advises us, gratuitously of course, to add 'bo to our motto. Much "obleged" gentlemen—we'll consider the matter. Out side pressure may make us bo but will never make us bow.
