Ill'iMN TO THE GHEATXESS OF GDI),
BY W. WHITTOM REDDICK, A. M.,
Principal of Sandusky St. High School, ,'ll/e
--gheny City.
"The spacious firmament on high
With all the blue, etberial sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame
Their great original proclaim." [Aiuuson.
The Lord our God is great and strong.
His power demands our loftiest song,
For by that power all things were made,
Are still upheld and ruled and swayed.
To all that live, He life hath given.
To all on earth, in hell, in heaven :
All things exist in Him whose throne.
Nor wo. lis, nor source, nor years are known.
He moves the spheres with skill divine,
That far through trembling ether shine,
And suns and moons and worlds, whose stores
Fill up the boundless universe.
He formed the vast and solid world,
And mill the glittering planet- hurled
It out upon the ceaseless round.
And gave its days and years their bound.
When metr-ors fia-h, or thunders peal,
When tempests howl and oceans reel.
Or cold and hail sweep from the north,
His hand controls or sends them forth.
When dazzling day fades down in night,
The moon walks forth in a/.uie bright,
And with her countless, starry throng
Declares H;s glory in their song.
When clouds enshroud the midnight sky,
Like folds of drapery bring on high.
And sounding slorms among. t thein sweep,
Loud echoing through the airy deep.
Through every fear, iri fiercest storm
We look to heaven, and see a form
And hear the voice, aitd trust the power
Of God, our refuge in that hour.
If friends forsake, or fortune fails,
Or want or pestilence a-sails.
We look to heaven, and trusting still
That power and goodness, bide His will.
And e'en at last when death appears
With all the pains that mortal tears,
We still -hall tru-t Ilis mighty arm
To,-hield us then Ironi every harm.
Once o'er flood—with harp in hand
We'll join that raifient spirit band
That strike their harps on heaven's bright
shore,
And hymn his praise forever more.
I'l l rsui 80, Oct., 18-30.
MB. EIUTOR :—The following I find in a
communication published in the Ledger a lew
days ago, and in which I think is embodied Un
true version, the Constitution and laws of the
Union: —the subject of slavery and its extension
into the Territories, which i wish you to give
a place in your pajter, and which is as follows:
Th.it slavery cannot exist in any territory of the
i'nifed Slater until it i made there by a siatute or
btate law ; hence, neither Congress or any other
power ran put it there until such territoiy shall be
made a Stale, and only then by having it incorpora
ted into its constitution : and to say that Congress
cannot prohibit it in a teiritory, is just -o many
waste words, for of course >t cannot prohib.t what
cannot exi-t there until the territory is entirely be
yond it* control by being made a State. The terri
tories aie n.tnana! property, and belong exclusively
to the national constitution, both as pioperty and as
political communities; and Congress alone has the
power, so long as they are territories, to make "rule?
•and regulations'-" for their government. Out as sla
very is not recognized at all in the constitution, we
rf /i all m(r Utous (i nation at itts/ttnlton. ami a- its
iiitroilurtion anil ieg.il recognition in a Territory by
Congress would afreet the interests of the future
State which will then be a ,-overeignf y, ami of cour>
out of the jurisdiction of Congress, it cannot and
does not exi-t ill any territory of the CniteJ States
so long as it remains a territojy. This view seems
to roe to be the only construction the constitution
will bear. It gives to the settlers of any ter
ritory the right to make their own laws when
they are numerous enough to form a State; it
does no! allow Congress or any other power, to do
anything which will affect their future Interests; it
entirely supercede- the necessity of all such uncon
stitutional acts as the Missouri comprom l -.* and the
Wilrr.ot proviso, and leaves the whole matter to the
natural and legitimate action of those who may so
there to settle. The declaration of ihe Kansas-Ne
braska bill, "that i? is not the intention to legislate
slavery either into or out of the territorv," is en
tirely useless, for by the constitution :t has not the
power to meddle with it .it all. The constitution
only alludes to slavery as existing in certain States
which choose it hv their own acts, not by any prin
ciple existing within itself, or any bargain that it
should ever extend when the L'nion was formed and
the constitution made.
18r. Uischatinsi at S2os:sc.
Under date of November Ist, a correspond
ent of a New York paper, writing from Lan
caster. Pennsylvania, draws the following at
tiaclive picture of "Mr. Buchanan at Home:"
"On approaching Wheatland fh* visiter is
struck by the air of comfort and firmness that
pervades the place. The mansion is a plain
brick one, without any pretension lo architectu
ral beauty, but th<- site on which it is built com
mands some picturesque views, and is shaded bv
fine old trees. It is a simple, substantial, re
publican-looking dwelling, without any of the
Composite decorations with which our city mil
lionaires are in the habit of ornamenting their
suburban villas. It has a warm, genial, home
stead aspect, promising a hospitable welcome
and substantial cheer to those who may enter its
wails. Previous to its purchase by Mr. Bu
chanan, it belonged to Mr, W. M. Meredith,
late Secretary of the Treasury under General
laylor, and was built, we believe, by a brother
in-law <jt Robert Emmet.
"On entering (lie house I was shown into
the library, where I found Mr. Buchanan, with
about ten or a dozen gentlemen who were ail
Unknown to me, but who, I believe, were for
the most part leading politicians of the neigh
borhood. The conversation appeared to be an
imated, and turned, of Course, on the subject of
tile election. Mr. Buchanan listened attentive
ly tothe remarks made, hut took very little pait
in tiiem. From his calm, impassive manner,
one would have supposed him to be the party
least interested of all the persons present on the
subject under discussion. It was many years
since I had seen him, and I was forcibly struck
by the little alteration which time and the cares
°f office find effected in his appearance. He
looked even younger, fresher, and stouter than
when we last met. Nothing could be kinder
or more cordial than the manner in which he
received tr.e, although the motive of my visit
was more of a personal than a political one.
He is exceedingly fortunate in possessing so
much ban ho rami? of manner, for I assure you
it is severely put to the test. He is b-s-1 by
hosts of visiters of all conditions, some of them
queer samples ot humanity. Only think of an
enthusiastic female phrenologist n.aking a long
journey to take a cast of his head ! Mr. Bu
chanan received his lady visiter with the great
est politeness, invited her to dinru-r, and told
her she was welcome to examine anything she
pleased about the premises, with the exception
of his bumps. You can imagine the mortifica
tion of this ardent votary of science at being
compelled to leave without accomplishing the
object of her journey.
"The only familiar face which T encountered
during my brief visit to Wheatland was that of
Mr. Brady, of Broadway, the we)l-kinwn pho
tographist. He came (her- to take views of
the house and surrounding scenery, and 1 be
lieve has succeeded in obtaining representa
tions of every object of interest about the
premises. These pictures will form an interes
ting feature in the tine historical gallery which
this enterprising artist has succeeded in collect
ing together at so much expense. ]n the event
of Mr. Buchanan's election they will probably
be engraved f>r general .circulation."
Col. Ueuton on the rnsidenry au:l Fre
mont's \oinali<ui.
Colonel Benton, in a speech delivered by
him on the day before the election, urged all his
friends to vote for Buchanan, and deprecated
the election of Fremont as a sectional candi
date. The following extract from his speech
will be found interesting :
'• Next is Mr. Fremont, standing near me, in
a relation clear as it could be to me not to be mv
own child. He has had an eventful life—great
difficulties, great dangers, great trials to under
go. 1 stood by him in every one of them, as a
father would stand by a child. (Long confin
ed applause.) Nor, gentlemen, did he ever
have need that I did not administer to him to
the extent of mv rrvans. There are persons
now on this platform that know that 1 spared
nothing which I could raise and deliver him, in
order to carry hitn through the eventful life in
M hich he has engaged. {Warm applause.)
All that was paternal, all that was nature—na
ture acting, nature speaking, nature at liberty
to obey its most cherished feelings. (Cheers.)
•'At last he has permitted himself to he put
up as a candidate lor the Presidency of the li
nked States. I knew it long before you did,
long before any body did, and there are persons
on this plat bu m that knew u hat was my con
duct : that as a father speaks to a child, in a
room by himself, at the heanh, there my warn
ing voice was against it. {Loud applause.) All
advice, ail mv remonstrances, were useless: for,
in the first place, T, who had a hear and close
view of the American Prt. idents : 1, win) have
seen a!' the Presidents in the cli.nr, from Mad
ison to the present day : I, who have s" n them
a!! in their chair, and be-m intimate with l!.eir>.,
while th-y were sitting there, the oveitlowing
expressions of their own heart: I, who have
seen all this, who have been near enough to sei™
the inside view o-fthem, did not happen to have
that high opinion of the enjoyment oi that place
which a great many people have.
"It never appeared to me to be a place that ]
would not wish to see any good man in it in
preference to myself or any of my family. J
never saw the (iav in which I did not prefer to
see any good man there than any one of toy
connection, and far more than t < he seen there
mvself. I cool 1 at least have been tried for
this place, on some occasions. I put it down as
soon as it was mentioned* to me, because i had
no inclination fur the thing mvself. f knew
good m-n whom I piefi-rred to myself, and,
therefore, made way for those good men. 1
have never seen the lime, finm Mr. MadisonV
administration to the present one, in which
these were n<.t mv views. It was, therefore,
repugnent to mv feelings to see him become a
candidate, even ii'he was a candidate on na
tional views: but, knowing from the beginning
knowing from the first that Mr. Fremont was
to he the candidate of a sectional party, 1 told
him from the first that it was impossible that 1
could support any such nomination. (Cheers.)
"No matter what cam-, he must be national
lie must have a vision that could look over
the Union. He must riot be on a dividing line
—he must he on one side or the other of a di-
viding hue —he must he national—or I car.:. !
only riot support him, but i must take "round
publicly against him. Ad this was said many
months, almost half a year before the public
knew he was a candidate, and from this ] have
never departed."
Th i ice President Elect-
The following sketch of the Vice President
elect is by a correspondent of the .New York
Journal of commerce:
"Lt:xi NCTON, Kv., Oct. 3d, IS.oG.
"After a pleasant rid* amid the beautiful but
fertile fields of Kentucky, I am once again safe
ly ensconsed within tins beautiful place that was
so loner the abiding place of Henry C!av, and
now is the residence of that noble son of honor
and fame, John C. Brerketiri !ge. To know
hi;n is enough to prove the scholar, gentleman,
and statesman who will till the office of Vice
President bv virtue of the e! clion on Tuesday
next. Me is all the party could wish Kit as a
champion of their principles, lie cortfmenced
life poor and friendless—his parents being dead.
Me as a teacher of a common school, and
through perseverance and hard study lie enter
ed upon his collegiate course with the avails of
his labor. At this period of life a wealthy un
cle became much interested in him, but upon
his avowal of democratic principles, the bond of
friendship was severed. Yet the young and
aspiring genius confined on, ami finally gradua
ted with the highest honors of his cla s. As an
orator, he combines the clear and comprehen
sive soundness of a Webster and Clay : and, in
connexion, has a beautiful and flowery style ol
expression and a copious supply of words of a
chaste and refined character equal to the great
est. To use the expression of a neighbor of his,
'When heopenshis mouth it is to give utter
ance to the most beautiful, chaste, and classic
language, like a rare collection of buds, which
as they open and expand, develop new beauties
continually." In his social position, with such
a refinement and cultivated manner, lie is es
teemed bv all who know him. Me will add a
lustre to his party unequalled in the history of
one so young."

After one of the most extraordinary struggles
ever witnessed by ti.e civilized world, the de
mocracy of America have gloriously triumphed.
(,)ur eagles glitter in the bright beams of the
sun, and our Hags proudly wave, with never a
Star struck from their ample folds. The Union
is still a tiling of life. Not on I v perpetuated in
marble, in brass, in poetiy,but is a living ptin
ciple, a binding obligation, held to he sacredly
imposed upon the entire nation. The sectional
party which rallied under the name of "repub
lican," is not merely beaten : it is annihilated,
lire Presidential election has settled many of
the most important principles since the govern
ment was formed.
It has consolidated and eternized the Union
of the States.
It has crushed forever all secret political so
cieties.
It has spoken peace to the adopted citizen
and words of welcome to the unfriended but
meritorious immigrant.
It has thundered fortli to the ears of spiritu
al tyrants our glorious creed of religious liher
ty.
It has again rebuked the political priesthood
of the country, and trampled into the dust the
new attempt at union of church and State,
It lias hurled from the lap ot the nation (IMJ
rubbish of sumptuary legislation, prescribing
w hat we shall eat, what we shall drink, and
wherewithal we shall be clothed.
It has enunciated in (he most solemn manner
the doctrine of self-government as applicable to
States and Territories.
It has spuirieJ the treason and the traitors of
1856.
It has consigned the Wilsons and the Banks
e, and Hales and Wades, to an infamous noto
riety.
It has strengthened the hands of the friends
of freedom wherever its spirit is felt or it bless
ings desired.
It ha enhanced Ihe glory and prosperity of
the nation almost beyond conception.
It lias given importance to every individual
in the republic, because tie is now looked upon
as a citizen of the great country and not of a
fragment of the Union.

OF all the remedies that have been discovered du

Only three years have elapsed since the discoverer
(alio .pent a decade m studying, experimentalizing,
aiid perfecting it) first introduced it to the pub! ic, and
it is already recognized, by the most eminent physi

pi: ing and effective remedy lor certain diseases of
w hich they have knowledge.
All other compounds or syrups of the root, have
fcitheito failed to command the sanction of the fac
ility, because, on being tesied, they have been found
to contain noxious ingredients which neutralize the
good effects of the Sarsaparilla, and often times in
jure the health of the patient. It is not so with
Ruiley's preparation.
This is the pure and genuine extract of the root,
and will on trie.!, be found to effect a certain and.
