The Proof Again.
The Standard man and his friend the
*' pedagogue” are on hands again, in the
last Standard, with a rehash of their vapid
taporinga and scurrilous blackguardism.—
They demanded from us the proof that
Walker or Douglas proved the President
an * idiot” or a w lunatic.” We furnished
it rather stronger than they could bear,
and yet they have the un parallelled effron
tery and unblushing impudence tosay, that
we have merely: sai(f'that a it is so, because
we said it was,” They say we “ cite no
passages'” True wenlid not, because that
would have occupied too much space.—
But;then we gave the substance of them,
■s fairly as either of them could have done.
They know that, and hence they attempt'
by disparaging our construction of them,
and blackguarding us, to-make their read
ers believe we failed to produce the proof.
As forthoir abuse we care nothing. It is
like trifling and contemptible.
But if .it will be more satisfactory to themj
wewdß .givo them some more proof, and
-Governor Walker, in his
tetter •tb General Cass, says:

Mm.witb''tho people of.Kaneas, that an overwhelming
mjunrlty of that people ore opposed to that instrument; and
mjumitMtate that but one out of twenty of tlic Press of
it.” • • • • “Im teed, disguise it as
wt may to ourselves under the influence of the present ex
citement, the facts wilt demonstrate that apy attempt by
Congress to force this constitution upon the people nfKan
us, wilUw an. effort to substitute the will of a small minor-
Ipr for that of an overwhelming majority of the people of
Governor Stan ton corroborates this state
ment, and adds:
- •‘lt eaaonly b« milntalnod br th« *ran 6f the federal

tgfc&tt jthelr declared will, aiui against every principle of
Wptfffkinttßy democracy, tight, and justice.”
- -The President is attempting to force this
•wittdleupon the people of Kansas, ergo ,
by Walker to be cither an
“ icUoJt’*pr a “ knave."
Agaiu, Governor Walker, in his letter
to Geb. Gass, Bee. 15th, 1857, says :
-*■ In nineteen of theae, counties there was no cenenx. and
lharefero there could be, no such apportionment* there of
upon ench censne. Ami iu flft-en of those
roitoiteftlhere was no registry of rotors. These fifteen coun
ties, many of the oldest organized counties of the
Territory, w4re entirely disfranchised, and did not gireand
(by no unit of their own) could not give a solitary vote for
delegate* to the conrention.”
“In fifteen counties out of thirty-four, there was no reg
istry, and not a solitary vote was given or could bo given
fir delegate* to the convention fn any of these counties."
Governor Stanton, in corroboration of
this 1 fitoteinent, In his address to the peo
ple'ofthe United States, says:
“The regtotratton required bv law.had been Imperfect in
all the counties, and had been wholly omitted In one-half
of them ; nor oOuld the people of these disfranchised coun
ties vote'in any adjacent coauty, as has been felidly sug
gerted,”
The President says everything connec
ted with the Lccompton swindle was fair
and legal, ergo, he is proved by Walker to
be either an “ idiot” or knave.
Wo might fill our columns with similar
extracts, from the speeches and letters of
Douglas and Walker, but they are unne
cessary. These gentlemen don’t call the
President an , “ idiot,” “ lunatic,” or
“ knave,” but they prove it as clearly as
could be done. If the Standard-man and
the pedagogue” fail to see it, wc can on
ly pity ;thc obtuseness of their intellects.
If they dp see it, and yet for the sake of
party and, plunder are playing the hypo
crite, (as we shrewdly surmise is the case)
wc must .despise them.
iWa arc sorry that wo can’t return the
compliment they paid us in. saying that
Senator Broderick is “if possible, as great
ad ass as ourselves.” Wc are proud of the
association. If they .were only as great
«s35$H$W JBybderick, Truth, Justice and

It is considered that, with an honest

Larceny of Papers.— The Pittsburgh
Uion of the 7th inst., says that on the
evening of the sth inst., a couple of car
pet sacks, belonging to Col. 3. T. F.
Wright, were stolen from the yard in the
rear of his dwelling, in Allegheny. They
contained about sixteen hundred newspa
pers ; numerous letters, embracing a cor
respondence for fourteen years past ; re
ceipts of considerable value to Col. Wright;
atid canceled notes to the amount of over
three hundred thousand dollars. Wonder
if several of our communications, donning
him for the aviall sum of Six dollars
and Thirty-seven and a half cents
that he has owed us for more than a year,
were among the papers stolen. If they
were the Col. no doubt feels easier in con
science since they have been abstracted,
as they cannot any longer reproach him
with his breach of honesty. But whether
they were or not, we are sure that our re
ceipt for the aforesaid small bill was not
stolen, as we have never yet been so for
tunate as to be called upon to grant him
a receipt for the same.
. We return our thanks to Eon.

to-day, in order to makeupjlbr lost time, I have
determined to indite this epistle for you, and I
fear without considering the most important
part of the business, < 4 something to write
about But as ** a faintheart never won a fair
lady/’ here goes. I M !
Our hirsute friend. Mayor Vanx, has had a
fine opportunity, daring the last week, of play
ing the agreeable, which liis friends say comes
so natural to him. A committee of Baltimore
ans paid us a visit for the purpose, as is stated,
of viewing our many city improvements. The
record of their nightly peregrinations has not
been made public as yet; but the reporters
seom to have followed close by on their foot
steps throughout the day, as the columns of our
daily papers will testify, teeming as they did
with the extensive accounts of the progress the
Baltimoreans had made throughout our city.—
Being paraded through our principal streets
and only into our finest buildings, no donbt but
that they will be able to take back with them
the most glowing accounts. Will it nut be
something to boast of? (and indeed.it is true.)
They were all in Moyamensing prison, and
notwithstanding it is considered to be most se
curely guarded, they all escaped. The three
great institutions of the city that seemed most
to require their attention was our Mayor, the
stream fire engines, and the police and fire
alarm telegraph. As I have, in some of my
former letters, explained the merits of the two
first named institutions. I will take this oppor
tunity of noticing the latter.
A telegraph is a telegraph, all over the
world, I suppose, but the particular purposes
to which it is applied here, are peculiar with
only one or two other cities. The efficiency that
our fire department is noted for, is owing in a
great measure to the manjler of giving alarms.
Formerly, before the firepien could receive the
notice that a destructive fire was raging, it was
necessary for some one to make it known to the
ringer of the State House bell, and this very ojt
ten occasioned dangerous delay. But now, it is
only necessary to go to nu alarm box, which may
be found at almost every two or three squares.
The signal being given, not only the bell ringer
at the State House, to all the alarm boxes
throughout the whole city, so that all the fire
men know the exact whereabouts of the fire,
and if in their respective district, they can im
mediately repair to it. The telegraph has been
very beneficial of late in restoring lost children
to their parents, as also the means of decreas
ing the circulation of counterfeit money. As
soon as a new counterfeit is known to be out, it
is made known to the inmates of the central po
lice office, who transmit it by means of the tel
egraph to the various police stations throughout
the city, and thence it is made known to the
various tradesmen, and op the morrow the whole
city know it through the press. Its general
utility in our city affairs baa brought great
praise and honor to Mr. Philips, who, 1 believe,
originated the idea of applying it to its present
purposes.
The llcv. Dudley A. Tyng, who, you may re
member, raised quite a now in his congregation
some time ago, by making his political views
public from the pulpit, nlct with a sad and it is
to be feared fatal accident, last week. It seems
that he was superintending some threshing, and
being in his dressing gown, suffered it to be
caught in some of the machinery by which his
arm was drawn into the machine. At last ac
counts it is stated that in order to prevent mor
tification his arm has been amputated.
P. S.—Wince dead. SIGMA.
The lioop Trade.
For the edification of our numerous
readers the ladies in particular—we clip
the following description of one of the
greatest “Hoop Skirt” pianufactories in
I |
this country, from an exchange. It will
serve to show the extent to which; the ar
ticle is worn by the women of this coun
try, if not the dimensions, although they
are almost equal;—
“ Douglas & Sheiwood, the hoop skirt manu
facturers, turn out 4000 skirts every day, and
constantly employ five hundred hands, besides
180 sewing machines ; so says the Journal of
Commerce. There is used each week not less
than ouo ton of steal, to said the ladies in spread
ing themselves. Several floors in a large buil
ding ore exclusively occupied to their full ex
tent with persons engaged, in cutting cloth, tape,;
bone and steel, and manufacturing small metal
lic pieces used in constructing the. skirt, —for
all of which process cimiaingly devised machin
ery is employed by those who are engaged in
adjusting these parts to each other, and bring
ing order out of apparent confusion. Hoop
skirt making is a science, and one on which
patient study has been bestowed, till by succes
sive improvements, an Article of dress has been
produced which is thought to be favorable to
health, while it conduces to comfort and beau
ty. To illustrate the difficulty experienced in.
obtaining the exact desideratum, rattan, cord,
whalebone and brass have been successively em
ployed and rejected,,in whole or in part, as too
brittle, too rigid, tob flexible, etc., and of course,
much valuable machinery bad- to be thrown
aside as useless, with eiush change introduced.
Now, a kind of English jjsteel is substituted, af
ter being subjected to a high heat, and'sdddenly
being plunged into cold oil and again transfer
red to a bath of melted lead to give it the prop
er temper and elasticity. Such quantities of
the material thus predated are used, that the
railway train which forwards the weekly instal
mentfrom Connecticut to the factory in New
York, is yclept the “ hoop train,” and of course,
is regarded with more !tihan ordinary considera
tion.-, 3Che factory, with, its industrious popu
lation of|6oo young women, is an interesting
place toTisit.” f'M'f „V.

B lent to Death—Shocking Carelessness.
—On Saturday lost, near York, Pa., h little son
of George lleibling was burnt to death. The
father, assisted by another man, was engaged
in burning brushes, which bad been collected
at different places in the field, and had several
stacks burning at once. While so engaged, it
was discovered that the child, who had been at
one of the brush-heaps, was burning in a Blaze.
Reibling- rescued the child, whose stockings
and clothing prevented any serious bodily in
juries from the burning. Provoked at the child
for its mishap, the father took him to the housh,
where there were no inmates, and, throwing the
child in a bed, departed to his work in the
field. Home minutes elapsed, when . the man
who assisted Reibling directed the attention of
the latter to a cloud of smoke coming out of the
house. On reaching the building it was found
that the child, still in bed, was completely sur
rounded by fire, with all its clothes in a blaze.
When rescued, the child was burnt almost to o
crisp—the bead completely bare of hair-*—and
survived only three or four hours. ] ,
Personal. —The Mobile Advertiser, speaking
of Parson Brownlow, bolds the following com
plimentary language: “ What must be the im
pression as to the character of the Southern
people upon the minds of the ignorant masses
of the North when they behold and listen to
this blackguard Tennesseean, and are told'that
he is a minister of the Gospel, and the chosen
champion of Southern institutions, sent among
them by the people of the South? It was an
unfortuate joke for Southern gentlemen, ns they
did it, doubtless, only for the fun of thing,
to have encouraged this coarse brawler in poli
tics and religion, to go into the North and ex
pound the merits of Southern institutions and
Southern society. But the mischief has been
done. The reverend ruffian lias already crossed
the line, and the enemies of the South are doubt
less, by this time, chuckling at the prospect of
the damage which the reputation of the South
ern people is certain to suffer in the minds of
(lie Northern masses from the blackguard exhi
bitions of this Tennessee parson.”

had my head rubbed with a good stiff brash, and the resto

aglow. This 1 repeated every moraine, and in three weeks
the young hair appeared and grew rapidly from August last
till the present time, and Is now thick, black and * trough,
soft and pleasant to the touch; whereas, before, it was harsh
and wiry, what little there was of it, and that little wan

facts, that the Invigoratur (a Compounded' by' S physician

te idea of the strength of these gums may be formed
when it is known one bottle of the fnvigurafor contains m.
much strength oa one hundred doses of Calomel wUhuutaaj
of its deleterious pfleet*. ...
Uue bottle I* the surest thing known to carry away the
bad etfects of mineral poison of any kind.
Only one buttle of it is needed to throw out of thsaysteai
the effect of medicine altera lopg sickness.
One bottle taken for Jaundice removes all yellowneascr
unnatural color from the akin. T '
Ono disc after eating is sufficient te relieve this
and prevent the food Worn rising and souring.' ! ’ -
Only one dose taken before retiring prevents Stick imam.
One doe; taken at night iooeens the bowels gently,
cures costiveuess.
One dose taken after eacli meal will cure Dyspepsia.
One dose of ln o tcwepouufuls will always relieve dUsk

One I*.ttle taken for female obstruct lona removes theeaiua
of the disease, and makes.* perfect cure.
Only one dose immediately relieves Choke, while oMWO>'
often repeated is a sure care for Cholera Morbuvamfanwe

One dose taken often will prevent the recurrence ofbQ

OiJcOue or two doses token occasionally is ozseofthsbest

Thin wands of cures of inflammation and weakness of Hit

One dose taken a short time before eating gives vigor
the appetite and makes food digest well. ,
One dose often repented cures Diarrluva in its worst forms,
whijr summer and bowel complaints yield almost (o ika

One or two dose* cures attacks caused by worms, while
for worms in children, there is no surer, safer and speedier
remedy in the world, a* it never fails.
There is no exaggeration in these statements, they ere
plain'and sober ffmts, that we can give evidence to prove,
while all who use it are giving their unanimous testimony
in its favor
We wish all who are sick and debilitated t 6 try this rem
edy, and test it thoroughly, and uuy who are not benefited
by its use we should like to here front, as we hare yet to
hear from the first person who has used a bottle of Invigore
tor without receiving benefit, for there are such astonishing
medicinal virtues in it, that all, no matter-how long they
have been affected, if their complaint arises from a derang
ed liver, will be benefited, if not entirely cured.
