Torre *auto and Illisoistown Railroad. The Legislature of Illinois adjourned on Wednesday last, having refused a charter for a railroad across the Stale, East and West, in the direction of St. Louis. It is stated that a

great

many outsiders were at Springfield, but this did no good. 11 seems, however, that matters have been so arranged, as to answer the

object

wished for, which is thus explained by the St. Louis Republican Wo have already announced that tho bill for the benefitof the Terre-Haute and Ulinoistown Railroad was defeated, by a considerable majority, but this will not defeat, as we understand, tho immediate construction of the road, although it may have to take a somewhat different direction.

Several bills were passed to incorporate Railroad Companies, and, among them, one to incorporate thoTerro-Hautoand Springfield Company, and another to incorporate tho Belleville and Ulinoistown Railroad Company. The first road pursues the same route as tho TerreHaute and Ulinoistown road, as far as Marshall. There it diverges in tho direction of Springfield. But tho friends of the TerreHaute and Ulinoistown road sought some other means of accomplishing their object, and with this view a section was adopted in tho Belleville and Illinoistowncharter, which quite certainly secures to Belleville a railroad communication with the East, and enables the Ter-re-Haute and Ulinoistown corporators to get to tho Mississippi, without any further legislation. In this section, it is provided, that "said company (the Belleville and Ulinoistown Railroad,) shall havo the power to extend to, and unite its railroad with any other railroad now constructed, or which may hereafter be constructed in this State aud for that purpose full power is hereby givon to said company to mako and execute such contracts with any other company as will secure theobjects of such construction." This section will authorize tho extension of tho road from Bolloville to Marshall, whore it will unite with tho Terre-Hauto a

A similar section is contained in another law, for tho incorporation of a Railroad Company but as Belleville is a thriving city, and can prosont some claims for the location of the road, it is altogether probable that the route through that city will bo adopted.

The St. Louis Intelligencer says: It will be romemberod that on the 19th, the bill before tho Legislature of Illinois, for the construction of a Railroad from Ulinoistown to Terro-Hauto direct was lost, on its thin! rearing, by a vote of yeas 28, nays 37.

Subsequently a road was chartered from Springfield to Yerro-Hante, and then a charter was obtained for a road from Ulinoistown to Belleville, with the provision as we learn, that (his road may connect with any road constructed, or to bo. constructed to Terre-Haute from what point, not named.

The friends of this charter, contend, that this is all they want, and under the charter of the Belleville road they can "connect" with the Springfield and Terre-Haute road, and thus obtain a road fram lllinoistowu to Tcrre-Hautc.

U" Tho Chelsea (Mass.) Telegraph, under tho happy head of "A Chained Earthquake," states that there are on the grounds at the Naval Hospital at Chelsea over twenty-five thousand kegs of gunpowder? If this ticklish ubstance should become ignited^ the explosion would probably throw every house in Chelsea from its foundation, and create a crook or two in the spire of the Bunker Hilt Monument.

Had the whig* established xhctw*4kinh ride, they never would have made a nomination at allState SentimL

They might have adopted yotfr nsode— thrown all their prominent men overboard, aken up the "Ohio Blacksmith," and swore he was just the man they wanted. They might have done that, and given your General a pretty fair race at that.

"fi is stated that when Pierce heard of the nomination of Scott, he did as he did at the battle tf Molino del Rey. How was that?

After mature reflection, we believe we may say, that Gen. Piercefainted at the King's Mill, was it?

MULLETS IPSECE.

A Dr. B. F. Mullen, & lonofoco of Napoleon. Madison, or some plate in this State, southeast of Indianapolis, made a speech at th« Court-House on Friday eight last. He spoke to rtther a small-crowd of the faithful, many of w*hom took occasion to leave daring the harangue, in as much as they did not like hi* speech! ..r»*-'-'W

We have heard of but one opinion regarding the effort of Dr. Mullen, and that is, his speech was stale, insipid, flat, disgusting, and an entire failure. No less than half a dozen democrats have told as such wa3 their opinion of the speaker that came in upon them unsolicited and unknown, and went away without taking any very kind feelings with him, to cheer him in.his missionary labora against General Scott. 1

The speaker, we understand, had a great deal to say about "Old Fuss and Feathers,' and was of the opinion that he was not much of a man, any way, and would be easily beaten by Gen. Pierce! His exemplification of the Tariff (so the democrats say) was something of the rare kind, and made the old wheelhorses of democracy hang their heads in shame.— They were ashamed of their speaker evidently sorry that they gave him an opportunity to expose himself so much, and injure the democratic party in Vigo, as he did on that occasion.

A democrat told us that he thought but one man in the house was pleased with the speech, and that gentleman was Mr. C., but of course, the Journal will be allowed to compliment the speech, as this much will be expected of the editor, in the way ef business. Mr. Garber at Madison will do the whig party a favor, if he will keep Dr. Mullen in the field, and we will take it as a favor to be enlightened as to what manner of man the Doctor is, and how he gets out the Democratic Rifle, at Napoleon, which seems to be a reprint of the Courier at Madison. Shall we hear -from the Madison Courier?

We have no doubt the whig press and whig orators will try to get up a furor in favor of Gen. Scott, but the sober thinking portion of the party will not be able to see why Mr. FILL MORK has been slaughtered by his party.— Marshall (lilt.) Democrat.

Standing as the Democrat does for Pierce, after huzzaing lustily for Douglas, we look up on this as exceedingly rich. "The sober thinking portion of the party will nofc-be able to see" why Cass, Buchanan, Marcy, Houston, Butler, fcc., fec., have been slaughtered to make room for Gen. Pierce, who was not named in the Convention until about the 48th ballot! Mr Fillmore slaughtered, indeed 1 The locofoco farty have literally buried alive every protei nent man they had in the Unioo, and put up a man whom half of them will swear was the eery one they wanted.

U* A writer in the Journal has broken ground in favor of Mr. DAVIS for Congress. How long are the prominent democrats of Vigo to be overslaughed? (ooer-slaffed!) Here are our friends Mr. —, and Mr. —, and Mr. —, who are no nearer now to the goal of their ambition, than when they first swung a cap for Texas, 54 40, or Kuba. Wo protest against laying them away for keeps, as has recently been the case with Cass, Houston, old Buck, and. the man with a fifty cent red flannel patch upon the seat of his breeches. Wepertest in the names of Capt. Rynders, Gen. Quattlcbum, and Governor Dunning, of Indiana.

O" As we havo not seen a number of Jones' Vinconnes Sentinel for three or four weeks, we fear that delectable sheet has cut the Express from its exchange list. This all comes from that "John A. Pierce" article, which was got off so hurriedly that it was just a little wrong. If Win. A. has his back up we shall regret-it, as we rather have his news direct, than to skim tho cream thereof from A. H. Sanders' paper. Come, make it up with us Mr. Jones, and send along your wide awake Sentinel. We do not know how to do without it.

Tuesday morning, and no Sentinel yet!— Well) when John A. Jones gets home, he will use us better—wo know he will.

HE LOVES IT.—Mr. Brown of the Gfeencastle Sentinel says, green currant tarts never did kill any body, "nor never will." Glad to hear it. Dr. Brown. We account for this opinion by an item in Mr. B.'s prices current, which says, "Currants would sell at a fair price, if brought to market."

If Farquhar meet such men as Lane and Duinont on the stump, he'll think the Philistines are after him.—Democratic Rifle.

If the "Philistines" should ever get after you, "on the stump," Doctor, don't run you are armed with the self-same weapon with which Sampson slow a thousand of them—the jaw bone of an ass.—Mad. Banner.

Right hard on the locofoco orator who made the brilliant speech in the Court-House last week.

A LADY Fnioirri»FU TO DBATH.—The Rockingham (Va.) Register states that Mrs. Dietrick, wife of Mr. Jacob Dietrick, residing near Mk Crawford, in that county, was frightened to death a few weeks since. Her little daughter for sport threw a tree-frog upon her lap, which began jumping up towards her face, and so frightened her that she died in two or three days.

O* noto in the Maysville Eagle states that J. Dearin, bar-keeper of the Kossuth House, in Cynthiana, Ky., was found dead upon the pavement on the 16th inst., his body horribly mutilated. The mystery about the affair had caused great excitement, v.

TBI CA9TA88 OPEHSO—A DEXOCBAXXC I SPEECH IS 1XBBE-HAUTE. EDITOR WABASH

Exraras—S&: OnlfcitFriday

morning, (the 25th instant,) st notice Was seen posted on all the principal eefrners of the'city, informing the populace Chat -the Democratic party would be addressed on that evening, at the Court-House, by a "Dr. B. F. Mullen, Editor of the Democratic Rifle"—[a paper printed in Madison, but published at Napoleon, in old Ripley.] Well, as JTLL were invited to attend, I concluded that a Whig had as much of an invite as any-one, so I went. Yes, I was at the Court-House, and heard the Doctor's prescription for the convulsion*, which afflict the "Great National Party" of which he was an honorable member. I saw him try to administer the nostrum he had labored hard to prepare for them—but, on raising the jug, which contained the supposed "elixir of life," more than two-thirds of the patients present, closed their mouths, so that if any portion of it was swallowed, it was what oozed through the skin of the teeth 1 Not a great many Democrats attended the meeting, however, notwithstand it was the regular evening for the assembling of the "Democratic Club"—I wish every Demo crat in the county bad been there. But, taking 'it as it was, I doubt very much, if a single Democrat, who was present on this occasion, would say, in candor, that the dose was either "pleasing to the taste," or invigorating to their prostrated bodies^ or even allayed their osteocopes, causcd by a shock received from the electricity employed in announcing the name of Gen. WISFIELD SCOT*,as tfce choice of the American people for their next Chief Magistrate!

My aim is not solely to eulogise this public speaker nor do I begrudge that treat to the good aud robust Democrats of old Vigo—but, my principal -object is, to give a few quotations from the Doctor's remarks, which I do not wish or intend to pervert or misconstrw—if I should happen to do either, I'll ask pardoti in advance, for it will not be purposely done. From the broken sentences, and his hap-hazard jumps, and willo-the-wisp track he took, I will admit that it would take a New Hampshire lawyer and two or three subs., to tell what he was driving at, or put it in a tangible shape. Yet, what I shall say, his hearers will bear me out, as regards correctness.

After the Doctor had made a few preliminary remarks, he gravely said— "He believed that young men, when they were about to enter the political aftena, they desired to hear the truth on both sides. His mission to this city was, therefore, to instruct, and enlighten them, which he would do to the best of his abilities."

Here was a text that offered the widest field for the display of oratory, skill and knowledge, but was totally forgotten before he had actually spoken ten words, and never more troubled his mind during that evening.

The next item that attracted his Attention, was Federalism. He said that "Federalism could be traced from the da£s of Jefferson, down to the days of Taylor and Fillmore"

With this wonderful disclosure, ihd yet without a shadow of an argument to establish the assertion, or to explain what he meant or understood by Federalism, to enlighten the young Democracy of old Vigo, he hopped the Tariff—crushing it beneath a clincher which will ever render it as odious, (in his opinion) to the American people, as the vampyre was to the ancients. He had, undoubtedly, plucked a ray of light from obscurity, and Arnei^i^ll enough what it was intended to illustrate,~1ut could not tell what it meant, for it still remained in as much of a conglomerated mass as did the Peruvian Quipo ye£ wanting the perseverance of a Strong, lie gave it up as a bad job, by making use of the following, which was his death-blow to the Tariff: "The best illustration he ever had of the Tariff, fsaying at the beginning, thnt this was one of tne great issues between the two parties] was while he was in Mexico. Gen. Taylor, when at Matamoros, put the TARIFF on boots so high, that the soldiers had to pay six dollars a pair for BROQANS, worth only one or two dollars per pair. This was done to raise money to establish a Hospital—a benevolent purpose, all will admit"!!!!!!

Here the Tariff was left, while his eyes fairly glistened with an imagined successful triumph overall future opposition. Does such a remark need a reply? can it be possible that Indiana has five school boys, over the age of twelve, within her limits, that could not put the blush upon all such public speakers so, God speed the common schools, and Governor Slade's school marms! The Issertion contradicts itself what, impose a duty upon our otOn articles, sent to our own fellow-eitixens, whom the Government was under obligations to supply, free of chatge, with all things pertaining to health and comfort, as much as the nature of the case would admit of! If this is the kind of Democratic lessons that are to be taught to the 'garrison* at the

Gibralterof Wiggery," lam fearful that the young ones will have to fall "oner the stars and stripes," while the Whigs will plant their flagstaff deeper and firmer than ever, and if they fall at all, it will be liko the heroes and patriots of Lundy's Lane, who fell fighting in a good cause under the Nation's Colors, by the side of our present noble leader! who has borne our banner, untarnished, over hill and valley, and through the wild forest shades, and across cultivated fields, never suffering it "to trail in the dust," though all the bell-feoottds-of war were let loose upon him at once Beware of all such political teachers, yeyonng Democrats of Vigo, yea, throughout the Union. Perhaps the man meant to say something else—I sincefely hope he did, and that he may tell his political friends at this place, what he did intend to say, and that it will be clear and satisfactory to all concerned.

He spoke largely about the virtues of General Pierce. He said that "he was going to tell all about him." Well, so far as he was capable, I suppose he did—but it was a short history for the "leader he loved to talk about." Thus— "Gen. Pierce had been in Congress six vears, and had finally become so disgusted at 1 the political wire-workers, that he resigned his seat and went home. The Whin need not ask who Pierce was, for if they will only be patient till November, we will tell them that he is President of the United States, as we did about Polk f"

This was the essence of Us history of their present leader, "to the beat of his abilities"— at least I have seen neither Whig or Democrat who doubts iU V*""

The next topic was "fuss and feathers"— not giving the foil quotation at that—which "came from Horace Greeley# he believed, and was applied to Gea. Scott." This corrupted quotation (Uroogh it w« sever applied to Gen. Scott, by Mr. Greeley, even when it is quoted correctly,) would form the Ingest gm*rter of all bis remarks, if the speech had bee* taken down

W at in £1 tfee- ty-be-spoke-it-At-Via!

Some of the Whiga—«nd 1 do sot know bat some of the Democrats too—are of the opinion that he said Gen. Scott was a graduate of We* Pvimt: As to this I will not pretend to say, bat I am inclined to think that some joking fellows desire to make bad, kmdder. Dont add

to it, gentlemen—be kind to all who axe disposed to thus enlighten the "strong-hold" of TO»gg«y- 1 if

There is one othSr part which I shall mention, and then I have done. I shall not say that it came aert—for this no one could or would vouch for—I have used that term as I went along, oniy fbr the sake of formality.

He Aid "the Wliig party %as composed of the learned and wealthy* Slid they legislated only'for the capitalists. They were styled the deceitey ftparty The Democrats ivere just to theYeverae of this."

Se closed {his elaborate speech by saying— "The \Thigs .were now hbbing the pflblic crib—they had tbeir ^rths in it up to their elbows, filling.their'pock&s and handing'it'Civer to their friends—this is the party he wks Wish ing to hurl from power."

Whether the ghosts of Swartwout and Price were visible to him &t Cbkt ihdtbfint, is no'fexactly known, but it is more than likely.

I have not, Mr. Editor, attempted to answer these Democratic arguments, put forth on the above mentioned occasion, nor do I deem it necessary, for they are bnt to be made known to be fully appreciated by one and all—from the Democratic party down to Granny Muggins and old Mrs. Partington. Truly, a great man has been in our midst! VOX.

A. ST. JOHK'S DAY.

The Masonic brotherhood celebrated tlie 24th in Terre-Haute, on Thursday last, in a very appropriate manner. A procession was formed at the Lodgeroom at 12 o'clock, which marched through several of the streets, and ended at the Court-House, where a very excellent address Was delivered hy Dr. E. DEMIKQ, of Lafayette. We have heard tho speech very much complimented on all hands. The CourtHouse was entirely full, during the speech, many ladies awd members tif the Order being present from a distance.

The Greenoastle band was present

the oc

casion, and discoursed their best music during the march. The dinner at Brown's was enjoy ed hugely. We suppose the procession consisted of about 150 persons, exclusive of the ladies. The day was cool'&nd pleasant, and nothing transpired to mar the joy or eatisfac tion of each participant. Br. LEWIS, of the Danville (Ind.) Advertiser, looked in upon us during the day, and reported himself ready for the Scott campaign in Hendricks. All right.

ET The editor of the Journal is of the opin ion (so he published it While his teeth chatter ed,) that Gen. SCOTT will be easily and readily beaten. We remember, once upon a time, that one Andrew Jackson, Wm. H. Harrison, and Zachary Taylor came before the people, and we think they were all sent onto Washington. Each of these gentlemen knew something about gunpowder, And that knowledge, together with other things, helped them amazingly in obtaining votes but by the side of SCOTT, in such things, they were tyros—hardly a "break fast spell."

We do not wish to put the Journal into hysterics by pursuing the parallel any further.— Just think of it.

l£r Charles Wigley, (a friehd tif the TerreHaute Journal,) of Toronto, (Tear-in-two,) Vermillion county, Ind., writes to said paper, that the democratic nominatioh "will concentrate the strength of the democracy in ALL the States!!"

We- suppose the information came from Maine and California (the Aroostook and Sierra Nevada,) by the mud turtle line, or the grapevine telegraph, and is entitled to democratic belief. Whigs are not so gullible, especially when they know at home, of democrats who will not "concentrate" as aforesaid.— There are Roohrbacks in all parties. •..,«'•

HANCOCK county, Ind., June 22, 1852. W. J. BROWN, Esq., Sir :—Opposed as I am to the election of Scott to the Presidency, you willplease forward to me your daily until the Presidential election.

THOMAS D. WALPOLE.

We propose to make up a purse, to be forwarded to Tom Walpole, as soon as he publishes himself as having left the whig party entirely, and taken an oath never to return to it, upon any consideration whateven "We are tired of all such cattle. i4"

GOOD.—The present session of Congress has passed a law, which says that "whenever any officer of either of the Territories of the United States shall be absent therefrom, and from the duties of his office, no salary shall be paid him during tho year in Which stffch absence shall occur, unless good cause shall be shown to the President of the United States

This will likely make appointees stay at home and attend to the public business.

O* The Madison Courier has the following at the head of the paper: WE "POLK-ED" THEM IN '44!

WE'LL "PIERCE" THEM IN '52! We like to see people feel well and take all the comfort they can, on suspicion, for sometimes the reality brings just what they dislike to see:

We Taylored them in '48, We'll Scott them all in '52,

—=in all probability.

D* the following wjte sctit us from Don, Sullivah county: ANew Swindle—Extravagant Pries for Salt-

Some of our speculators have condescended to the low practice of-roixing salt with salsratos, and selling it at the round sum of 10 cts. per lb, which we think rttber extravagant for salt, wbed We can boy the same for one cent per pound Such meanness should be made public, and any one selling the article, when mixed, should be granted a location in Jeffersonville, or some other place of respectability.

CONSUMER.

We have frequently seen men rather zealous under the influence of a quart or more, of the over-joyful.—Journal!

We hope the editor never felt, what he has seat, and that he has no allusion to the Southeastern orator who made him a visit recently, and Ueoiateii somewhat in the Court-House on Friday night last. We bar

87 TSe Journal colls Thomas D. Walpole "one of the most distinguished whigs of Indiana." The Journal is always making adorns comparisons. The editor knows Ms own law partner is two or time years ahead of Tom. Walpole, if not ttotfE.

A NATION IN TEARS. HENRY CLAY IS NO MORE! The Telegraph has brought news of the death of HENRY CLAY! He died at Washington City, yesterday, (Jane 29th,) at 35 minutes past-il o'clock, A. M. This National loss was not iiriexpected, ks the distinguished sufferer has been prostrated at the Federkl City, (whith er he went as a Senator from Kentucky,) for many weeks past..

The greatest man of the age has fallen he has pbss«d away,1ttt his memory vrill lire in the hearts of his countrymen, as his services are Written upbh the pages of our history. The counfry has tot known his superior, and take him all in all, {he Nation Will notlobk tip6n his like again. His monument is in every patriotic heart, and his soul is at peace With God who gave it. Where-evef civil liberty has a name, in Europe or America, he will be mourned as the greatest sage of them alt.

Angelic.

Angela and ministers of grace, defend us.—Hamlet.

D. S. Dickinson, of New York, who was a delegate to the Baltimore Convention, and received a scattering vote for the nomination, writes a letter to the democratic ratification meeting at Old Tammany, in which rejoicing over the nomination of Pierce, and condolence at the defeat of Cass are singularly blended.— But the most precious morceau contained in this remarkable epistle, is the following. Speaking of his course, as a member of the Convention, he says 1 "it is enough for me to know that my Course was greeted by the Approving smiles of angels above, at the time, and that the path I trod was literally strewn with flowers."

Think of that, reader! an assemblage of bitter partisans, and locofoco at that for 49 ballottings the adherents of Cass, Buchanan, Douglass, Houston, Butler, Lane, and even Dickinson snarling and spitting at each other, like Kilkenny cats, and the "angels above looking down upon them with benignant smiles. They must have had a precious time of it. .T

"k xt uxi

*. JUDGE DOUGLAS. V-

We confess that We do not like th6 speech made by Judge Douglas, at the ratification meeting in Washington. It is undignified, violent and vindictive—too much in the slang style of pot-house politicians—and besides, his charges against his political opponents are unjust, and cannot be sustained by evidence. If "Young America" is to be reared under the guidance of such' an instructor, the country may have cause to pray for the restoration of "old fogeyistn." We are surprised that a gentleman who occupies the distinguished position of Senator, and who aspires to become the occupant of the White House, should indulge, in a public harangue, in such language as the following: "Look, too, gentlemen, at the Galphinism, the Gardinerism, and other surtis abstracted from the public treasury! I submit to you whether this system of peculation and extravagance, and the free use of the public money have not prevailed under this administration, and even extending to high public functionaries. They have utterly despaired of the public confidence, and have thus made the largest grab they can

Etowever such abuse and misrepresentations may be overlooked when used by ignorant politicians, they are inexcusable when coining from thb lips of a man who hopes to be President of the Union. Who are the "public functionaries" Who have robbed the public treasury? "fhe man who mak^s the charge, should have the courage td hdme the culprits. If money has been illegally taken froni the public treasury, why has Juago Douglas slept over the transaction, instead of having the offenders brought to justice The charge is not only illiberal, but untrue. The claim of Galphin was paid in accordance with law—and that of Gardiner was allowed by sworn commissioners but, on a representation which we suspect will turn out to be entirely groundless, that the commissioners had been imposed upon, the money paid has been attached, and now awaits judicial decision. And yet, upon such slender foundation does Judge Douglas travel out of his way to assail the reputations of gentlemen who have always stood as fair in the eye of the world as himself. It is paltry and contemptible.—Baltimore Clipper, (neutral.)

O* The Fourth of July falls on Sabbath this year. It is to be observed at Harrison Springs on Saturday, and in this place on Monday.— An exchange holds the following language on the subject: 'The day ought not to be celebrated on Sunday. Let us have no military or civil parade on that day, when such observances can as well take place on the day before or the day following. The fourth of July is the birth• ddy of Amefrisaii independence, and Americans all ovef the land recognise Sunday as not a day for displays of this kind, when they can be avoided. In this ctlse it can b6 done, and no good citi2en will so far violate the feelings of the mass of the community, as to participate iu an outrage of this character."' .,'

THE CROPS.—A farmer from the uppef pitrt of Vigo county, infdrmed us yesterday that he has never seen the crops look better. The corn is growing rapidly the wheat is good and nearly ready to harvest. It has some appearance of rust, but not enough to injure it much. The growing oat crop is fine, so is potatoes, turnips, die., bc. Our market is now well supplied with all the fruits and vegetables of the season. Tomatoes will be, very abundant.

O* A meeting was reeently held at Logarispfort, Ind., to make a railroad from St. Louis to Lake Erie. The "Articles" fix the line between Ohio and Indiana on the east, and between Indiana and Illinois, on the west, as points also the towns of Roanoke, Ft. Wayne, Huntington, Lagro, Wabashtown, Peru, Logansport, Camden, Delphi, Lafayette, Attica and Covington.

THE DEMOCRATIC FLATF0UK.

Bead the following Opinion of the "Platform," given by a leading Locofoco paper ife New York.

The Evening Post persists in its assertion that the "Platform" adapted by the

SEALED

Democrat

ic National Converitidh amounts to nothing, and that the resolutions were never, iu any proper sense, passed at all. It says: "With regard to the resolutions said to have been adopted by the Convention, just before its close, called in some quarters 'the Platform,' we re-assert, in stronger terms, what we said before. Further inquiries into .the circumstances satisfy us that, ib saying that they did not express ike sense ef the Convention, we used .the least expressive phrase the case would justify. They were not adopted by the Convention. Three fourths of the members—more than three-fourths, it is said by some—-had left the room not more than a doaen of the rest knew what was doing. Mr. Davis, the President of the Convention, had been obliged by exhaus tion to leave the Chair. Mr. Irving was in his place, and was exerting himself vainly to establish something like order. The main business of the Convention had bSen completed members and bystanders Were talking it over with each other, and eveiything was attended to but what was going on beside the Chair.

In the midst 01 this bustle and confasidn— in the midst of loud conversations, shduts, and noise of the hasty entrance^nd hasty departures something was read which nobody heard, and comrertiwg which very few were aware that it was reading. Mr. Irving put the question on all the resolutions in a lump. The ayes, in that fragment of a Convention, just in the bustle of breaking up, wei'e m6re numerous than the noes, and he declared the resolutions adopted. fVom one of the ffcembers then in Convention, who was decidedly opposed to apart of the resolutions, and Would have voted against them if he had been given an opportunity, we have it, that he did not even hear the resolutions put to vote, and was not aware of this pretence that they had been adopted, till he heard of it afterwards. A platform made in this manner does not even deserve the name of a farce, which we heretofore gave it. A farce is played before an audience which is aware of what is going on." 'KWT

this of humbuggery, it behooves every one to with a suspicious eye the interests of iirdl vfd uals and cliques. And even then the da&zlinfg splett dor of outward show insinuates itself into the favor of many, and they become Willing dopes to unholy ends. Thus it is we see Mesmerism, Clairvoyance, and Spiritual Rappings, absorbing too much of the attention of rational and intelligent beings, even to thedethronlngof thelrsiipreme intelligence. All feeling an interest in their own, snd the welfare of the community, and in the further extension of that which is useful,' we would recommend to their serious con siderstion Dr. BlaekteeU'i Compound Sirup of Sarth parilla and Irit Verticola, and request the same inves tlgation, by way of trial, that has been extended to other objects of less importance. He asserts its irape^ riority to any similar compound ever yet introduced, and defies the public to produce its equal fur the cure of the following diseases: Scrofula, or King's Evil, Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Female Diseases, Eruptions, of the Skin, Swelled Glands, and all diseases arising from an impure state of the blood, sijsf —w*?? ifei

In testimony of the eminent virtue of this Com ponnd ife roMoin a certificate from a reliable citizen With the opinion 0/ an excellent physician:

Loi'isvtu.K, June 3. 1852.

Dr. Blatkaell^Detr Sir: I wish through, this medi

to inform foa of the success of yonr Sarsapariils upon my little daughter. She is now eight years of age. From her infancy she has been troubled with a breaking out over her body, resembling Scrofiila. At times her arms and legs were cuvered over with large running sores. Towards the close of last winter she crew so much Worse than she bad been before, that became alarmed, and was about making application to a Physician when I accidently heard of yourRawa parilla as being great purljUr of the blood. I immediately procured a hottle and commenced its use_ Before the first bottle was nsed up! could seeamsrked change for the»rrTB». Continued its use until the third bottle was taken, when an entire curt was effected. I am now happy to say she enjoys better health than she ever did before. In justice to you 1 frtu't say 1 consider your Sarsaparilla one of the best medicines now in use for purifying the blood, and curing all diseases arising from its impurity, ^ith1 this, please to accept my most sincere tkank. a^d

Here is the opinion of a Physician of the city, whose statement cannot be called in question: Dr. 1. P. Bluck»*tt—Sir. In reply to yours 1 will state, that I have examined yonr receipt for your Corn pound Sirip of Ssrsaparilla and Tris V»rsicoIa, and consider it an excellent alterative Compound.
