The very last thing we would have, thought of attribu

claimed to be a christian. He may feel disposed that way
sometimes, but wo don't believe that a man that will wil
fully lie, or insinuate a lie, to injure his neighbor, can be
recognized by God or man as a Christian, or even a good
citizen. Perhaps, like Brewster, Gabe & Co., (Kearton
having withdrawn,) the livery of Heaven has been made
use of by Robert to serve the devil in.

Mr. David "Wilmot and His Letter
The Black Republicans of Pennsylvania
have nominated, as our readers are aware,
Mr. David Wilmot, of proviso notoriety, as
their candidate for Governor. Mr. Wilmot
has written a letter accepting the nomination,
which letter has already been extensively pub
lished in many of the free States. It occu
pies over one column of the New York Even
ing Post, and, with the exception of two brief
paragraphs, it is wholly occupied with the
slavery question and its direct and collatteral
issues. There are in the State of Pennsyl
vania, some two millions of whites, and a few
thousand blacks ; and yet Mr. Wilmot, who
seeks to become the chief magistrate of this
great Commonwealth, has not one word to
say in behalf of the interests, prosperity, and
happiness of the overwhelming majority of
the people of his own color ; not a word about
azriculture, commerce, manufactures, or those
prodigious mineral deposites which have made
Pennsylvania one of the marvels of the world;
not a whisper as to his views on banking,
public education, and internal improvements;
not a hint as to his convictions of duty in re
gard to those great questions in which his
fellow-citizens have such a large interest in
their early and safe solution. The letter
might with propriety have come from some
insane negro worshipper on the eve of start
ing for Kansas, under the auspices of the
New England Emigrant Aid Society, or it
might have been issued a twelve-month ago
by Jim Lane, with the certainty of producing
a lively impression among the shriekers ; but
coming as it does from an individual who pro
fesses to be a Pennsylvanian, and who is now
seeking the suffrages of his fellow-citizens
for the highest office in their gift, it is a mock
ery and an insult.
It is with such stuff and misrepresentation
as the following—we quote from the letter—
that Mr. Wilmot and his Black Republican
friends are about to make an issue with the
Democracy of Pennsylvania:
" We speak of quiet being restored to Kan
sas, because armed bands of lawless men do
not to-day infest her highways and plunder
her people—because her towns are not sack
ed and the cabins of her settlers in flames.—
This peace is deceptive and insecure. It will
be broken the minute that the people of Kan
sas make a vigorous effort to recover their
rights, of which they have been fraudulently
and violently deprived. The purpose of her
enslavement is inexorably pushed forward.—
A system of ingeniously-devised fraud, kin
dred to ,that employed in the usurpation un
der which she now groans, is being carried
out for the consummation of ? this great wrong.
To this end, also, the power of the federal
government is basely prostituted. We are
given words of fairness, but persistence in
support of the wrong. Every appointee of
the President in Kansas, is an active co-work
er in the scheme of her enslavement."
Mr. Wilmot has not the indifferent merit
of originality in the use of denunciatory state
ments. The quintuple alliance of New York
have for weeks and months used precisely
such language as the above, and yet within
a few days one of its most noted members has
had the candor to make the following confes
sion :
"It seems that the emigrant companies
that were got up for the purpose of rescuing
Kansas out of the hands of the border ruffi
ans, are turning out to be mere speculative
enterprises for operation in real estate.—
When the first excitement about Kansas be
(ran a number of shrewd men bought up
great tracts of land, laid out villages and
towns on them, drew maps, and then went to
work to fight about slavery, in order to adver
tise the Zand."
Mr. Wilmot's letter may serve as a medi
um to advertise the land of the belligerent
Lane, and the other speculating martyrs in
Kansas, but we will be most egregiously mis
taken if it makes him governor of Pennsyl
vania.—Washingfon Union.
pa-Girls, let me tell you a stubborn truth.
No young woman ever looked so well to a
sensible man, as when dressed in a neat, plain,
modest attire—without a single ornament
about her person. She looks then as though
she possessed worth in herself, and needed no
artificial rigging to enhance her value. If a
woman would spend as much time in cultiva
ting her mind, training her temper, and cher
ishing kindness, mercy and other good qual
ities, as most of them do in extra dress and
ornament to increase their personal charms,
she would, at a glance, be known among' a
thousand. Her character would be read in
her countenance.

'Where are You ?
The Whigs used to tell us - that the mortal
corporation of Henry Clay embodied all that
was good in government and pure in patriot
ism. Who does not recollect how they wor
shiped him, how they wept over his defeat in
1844, and how they threatened vengeance
upon every man who opposed him actively
then? At that time David Wilmot was al
most daily on the stump trying to prove that
Clay had made a corrupt bargain with Adams,
by which General Jackson was cheated out
of the Presidency—that Clay was not a. bet
ter tariff man than Polk—and that the elec
tion of Clay would be most disastrous to the
country. Aro man in Pennsylvania was more
persevering in his efforts to defeat Henry .
Clay than David Wilmot, and no man labored
with more zeal to prove the old Whig party
totally unworthy ofpublic confidence than
this same Wilmot. Where are the friends of
Henry Clay now ? Have they already for
gotten their great idol ? Is the memory of
that great man a "nine days bubble ?"
Where are the "British Whigs" new about
whom David Wilmot delighted to descant,
whom he ridiculed and whom he denounced ?
Are these same men now acknowledging their
error by supporting Wilmot for Governor 2
Wilmot, who claims and boasts that he has
not changed, but that while one party left him
the other came to him. Wilmot, who never
voted for a Whig in his life, but always used
every effort to defeat them. Wilmot, the
first Pennsylvanian in Congress who advoca
ted what the Whigs called free trade. Wil
mot, who they denounced as a traitor and a
disgrace to the State—is this really the same
Wilmot these Whigs are now supporting for
Governor? We can hardly trust ourselves
to make the allegation, yet it is true that the
great body of his supporters were once
Whigs—". British Whigs" as he delighted to
call them.
But there is scarcely a bad thing which
has not some good in it, and we congratulate
the country upon the fact that all the Dem
ocratic allegations about the Whigs are
now universally admitted to have been true,
as is abundantly evinced by the fact that
the Whigs are now nearly all supporting a
man for Governor who reiterated those alle
gations. The 'Whigs have not merely aban
doned their faith and repudiated their states
men, but they scornfully condemn all their
Whig professions, by adopting a candidate
who opposed and denounced them all as vis
ionary and unpatriotic heresies. Alas, poor
Whigs !—Clinton Democrat.
From The Chicago Tribune, Nay 0.
Scarcity of Grain at the West.
From careful inquiry, personally made
both of people from the country and along
the lines of three of the principal roads lead
ing into this city, we are convinced that the
expectation indulged in by some of our co
temporaries in regard to the quantity of
grain to come forward to this market during
the present season, are not founded on facts.
The crop of last year was by no means re
markable; it has probably been largely over
estimated, as the events of the Spring and
Summer will prove. Though it was large
enough to have left, in an ordinary season, a
very considerable surplus in the hands of
the farmers, the extraordinary duration of
the 'Winter has cleaned out their granaries
and cribs entirely; and even in our own
State thousands of men who usually have
corn and oats to sell have been for a month
past, and are yet, buying from their neigh
bors to keep their cattle and horses alive
until a few warm and pleasant days bring
out the new grass. All along the Mississip
pi, on the lowa side, there is the.greatest
distress among farmers for feed, and many
of them, so great is the scarcity, are losing
entire herds by starvation. A gentleman
from Maquoketa tells us that in that region
—by the way, one of the richest and most
productive parts of lowa—cattle are dying
by hundreds, and that farmers who hauled
their surplus to the river and sold it in the
fall, are now buying it back by wagon loads
at three times the price they got for it six
months ago. In the country west of Daven
port, and about lowa City, the same state of
things exists. At Quincy the demand for
corn to take over into Missouri is much
greater than the supply ; and one distillery
at least is buying grain at St. Louis, and
sending it up the river by the boat load, to
avoid stopping work, as it would if obliged
to depend upon home supplies. At Keokuk
and Burlington the demand is very active,
and the supply small, as it is, indeed, in
every part of the 'West from which we have
heard. Along the St. Louis and Chicago
road there is more corn, but not half the
usual quantity. Along the Galena Air Line,
Galena and Chicago, the Chicago, Burling,
ton and Quincy, and the Chicago and Rock
Island roads, hardly a full crib is to be seen.
In one word, the cattle have eaten up the en
tire surplus of corn, oats, hay, and in many
places the potatoes also. The Winter has
exceeded its usual length by full forty days ;
and in those days the mischief has been
done. Let the doubter take his pencil and
make his own figures. There are in Illinois
fully two million horses, mules, cows, oxen
and other cattle. Admit that only a half of
this number, saying nothing of the three
million sheep and swine, have required forty
days' extra feed, and then see what, after
their wants were supplied, would be left of
the very moderate crop of 1856.
The Country Postmasters—General Re-
movals not Intended
The report, which at the beginning of the
present Administration obtained such wide
spread currency, that the doctrine of rotation
would be carried out as a general rule in the
appointments, has had the effect of almost
overwhelming the Post Office Department
with letters and petitions, urging the reten
tion of thousands of Postmasters at unimpor
tant offices. On this subject, to quiet the pens
of the country Postmasters and their friends,
the Washington " Star" of Monday last says :
"If there existed the slightest ground for the
newspaper story that a sweep of such film
tionaries was designed, there might be reason
in this multiplicity of writing. It being very
certain, however, that it is not intended to
change these officers unless for good and suffi
cient reasons, besides the wishes of others to
obtain place, the friends of the incumbents
are throwing away their time and labor in ob
structing the transactions of real business in
the Department. To dispose of perhaps three
hundred letters, memorials &c., on such sub
jects daily requires hard work on the part
of more than one functionary at this point."
The New Orleans Times states that a
young gentleman in that city lost some $47,-
000 at a fashionable game a few days since.
He paid every dollar of it the next day s and
immediately left the city a ruined man.,
lowa Election---offiicial Returns.
The Davenport Democrat, of the 11th in
stant, says :
To-day we present our readers with a full of
ficial return of the votes polled in the late
State election, which sweeps away the clouds
of uncertainty, respecting the loyalty of lowa
to the Democracy of the Union, the Constitu
tion, and to the Supreme Judiciary of the
United States. Thank God for the evidence
it affords of thereturn of the people to reason,
to patriotism, and respect for all the forms of
a Government baptized in the blood of heroes,
beloved by Freedom's devotees the world over,
and reverenced by every human being upon
the Continent of America as the Ark of the
Covenant. which the Infinite has given to his
creatures for their exaltation to perfect equali
ty in political rights. lowa greets the De
mocracy of the States with her assurances of
boundless attachment to the Union.
We have elected Fisher, Democratic Can
didate for Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion, by a majority , of 505, and Parson, for
Register of State Land Office, by a majority
of 502, a Democratic gain of about 9,000
since last November. Owing to some local
questions, entirely outside of politics, the Re
publican candidate for Commissioner of the
Desmoine River Improvement, is elected by
a majority of 312.
Thus has lowa come out of the struggle,
and passed through a fiery ordeal of political
excitement, with a. triumphant return to her
old Democratic allegiance.
The full vote for the different offices, is as
follows :
FOR SUPERINTENDENT or PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.
Fisher, Dem., 32,892
Brybee, Rep., - - 32,387
FOR REGISTER.
Parson, Dem., - - 32,722
Holmes, Rep., - 32,220
FOR COM. OF DES3!OINE IMPROVEMENT.
MANNING, Rep., - 32,471
Bailey, Dem., - 32,159
We heartily unite with the Democrat in its
rejoicing at this result--a change of 9,000
votes since November, certainly does demon
strate " a return of the people to reason,"
and manifest an attachment to the party of
the Union. The Democrats of lowa deserve
the thanks of the party througkout the nation
for this glorious result.
The Burden. Murder.
The trial of Mrs. Cunningham for the mur
der of Dr. Harvey Burdell, which com
menced in theaCourt of Oyer and Terminer
of N. Y., on the 4th inst., resulted in a ver
dict of acquittal on Saturday last. The an
nouncement of the verdict created the most
intense excitement, and was responded to
with shouts of applause. The management
of her cause was able and adroit, but that of
the prosecution bungling and contemptible.
Opening out with an assumption of her guilt,
the District Attorney, in an elaborate and
highly-wrought address, in which he took
especial pains to parade the versatility of his
imagination and his historical knowledge, he
repeatedly reiterated the charge, while he
stated the grounds on which he demanded a
conviction. But were his assertions substan
tiated and his legal points supported by the
evidence? In no manner. History can hard
ly afford a parallel of such an abusive open
ing with such a flimsy case behind it. lie
has proved himself totally incompetent for
the office he now holds, and in fact for act
ing as counsel in any case, requiring merely
ordinary abilities. Any person possessed of
but the smallest amount of perception, could
have seen, after the first days proceedings,
that no conviction would take place. A
number of witnesses whose testimony might
have thrown considerable light on this mys
terious murder were never called at all.—
There is a screw loose somewhere. One of
two things is certain, either the District At
torney has been tampered - with to bungle
the case as he has done, in order to obtain
the acquittal of the accused, or he is grossly
incompetent for the office be holds. But the
public is not satisfied with the issue of the case.
Justice demanded that every effort should be
made to unmask and convict the guilty party
or parties, for the security of the public and
the vindication of outraged justice. Has
this been done? No; far from it. The
mere mockery of a trial is not enough to sat
isfy the claims of inflexible justice. But
New York has become proverbial for the
leniency which she always extends to crimi
nals. It is a notorious fact that no criminal
can be convicted of a capital offence there.
But although Mrs. Cunningham has suc
ceeded in clearing herself of the charge in
'the eye of the law, yet she still stands mor
ally convicted in the eye of thepublic.—
Public opinion has pointed out Mrs. Cun
ningham as the murderer, or at least as the
instigator of the murder, and nothing can
ever efface that conviction but the discovery
and punishment of the real murderer. Al
though the announcement of the verdict call
ed forth applause from the spectators in the
Court room, yet that is by no means an in
dex of popular feeling. A foul murder has
been perpetrated and the public demands
and has a right to expect the punishment of f
the criminal. •
After the announcement of the verdict,
and the excitement had somewhat subsided,
John J. Eckel was admitted to bail in the
sum of $5,000 on his recognizance, and lib
erated from prison. He is bound over to
appear at the Court of Oyer and Terminer,
on the 18th inst., when it is believed a nolle
prosequz will be entered in his case. Thus,
for the present at least, ends this mysterious
murder.

National Safety Saving Fund.
It has long been our intention to make
sonic remarks in relation to the Saving Fund
system in general, which has been produc
tive of such great public advantage, both in
Europe and in this country, but at present,
we have only room to give a few suggestions
in relation to the Saving Fund of the Nation
al Safety Trust company.
This old and well established institution
has acquired such a high reputation, that a
great many of our wealthy citizens have se
lected it, as the best place in which to depos
its their money, and people who have large
sums which it is desired should be kept with
a special regard to security, often come from
a ()Teat distance to put their money in the
Saving Fund, where the depositor gets inter
est for it, and from which he can obtain it
again at any moment it is called for. It will
be readily understood that an institution
which confines its business entirely to receiv
ing money on interest, and which has nearly
a million and a half dollars, all in real estate,
mortgages, ground rents, and other first class
securities, as required by the charter, pos
sesses elements which no train of circum
stances can shake, and which will never fail
to command the confidence of people, who
do business with it. The office is in Walnut
street, south west corner of Third, Philadel

Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Larryngittis and all diseases of the throat and lungs, by .
Medical Inhalation, lately used in the Bromton Hospital,,
London. The great point in the treatment Ef all human.'
maladies, is to get at the disease in the direct manner,—
All medicines are estimated by their action upon the organ
requiring relief. This is the important fact upon which
Inhalation is based. If the stomach is diseased we take
medicine directly into the stomach. If the lungs are dis
eased, breathe or inhale medicated vapors directly into
the lungs. Medicines are antidotes to disease and should
be applied to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the
application of this principle to the treatment of the lungs,
for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells and
tubes which lie out of reach of every other means of ad
ministering medicines. The reason that Consumption„
and other diseases of the lungs, have heretofore resisted
all treatment has been because they have never been ap
proached in a direct manner by medicine. They were in
tended to act upon the lungs, and yet were applied to the
stomach. Their action was intended to be local, and yet,
they were so administered that they should only act con
stitutionally, expending their immediate and principal ac
tion upon the unoffending stomach, whilst the foul ulcers
within the lungs were unmolested. Inhalation brings
the medicine in direct contact with the disease, without
the disadvantage of any violent action: -Its application is
so simple, that it can be employed by te youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. It does not derange the stomach, or in
terfere in the least degree 'with the strength, comfort, or
business of the patient.
Other Diseases Treated.—ln relation to the . following dis
eases, either when complicated with lung affections or ex
isting alone, I also invite consultation, I asap& find theni
promptly curable.
Prolapsus and all other forms of Female Coif - laints, Ir
regularities and Weakness. .
Palpitation and all other forms of heart Disease, Liver.
Complaints, Dyspepsia, and all other dikases of Stonmeli
and bowels, &c.
All diseases of the eye and ear. Neuralgia, -pilepsy,
and all forms of nervous disease.
