ifJE3‘- What has become of our interesting
Illinois correspondent, J. P.?
A" When the great Republican party was in its infan
cy, and numbered but "alittle band" in our county, and the
Journal was independent and hold enough to espouse its
cause and battle for its principles, our neighbor up town
was kind enough to stigmatize the Journal as 'an organ
without a party.' Since that time, the party, once de
spised and treated Ivito contempt by the Goliath of De
mocracy, has grown and expanded, and been able to de
feat and cut off the head' of Locofocoism, in its own
stronghold of Pennsylvania."—Huntingdon Journal.
Not quite so fast, neighbor. We have no
recollection that the "great Republican par
ty" " cut off' the head of Locofocoism in its
stronghold of Pennsylvania." Wo remem
ber that in Berks county there was a defeat
of Buchanan Locofocoism by a Union party
composed of all opposed to the re-election of
Glancy Jones, and another of the same stamp.
But we have never before been told that their
defeat was a Republican victory. The Re
publican party in its infancy I Pray, where
is the evidence that it is in existence in this
State now ? Was the late Convention a Re
publican Convention? If so, why have yOu at
your mast-head "The People's Ticket?" If
your State Ticket is a Republican Ticket, why
not claim it as such ? We think the vote it
would receive as a Republican ticket, would
satisfy you that the people are not all Re
publicans.
Suppose you again try the strength of your
" little band" in this county. Call a Repub
lican County Convention, and. nominate a
Republican county ticket. In case you do,
count us in for a sight at the " little hand."
The Latest War News
We have intelligence of another battle (the
greatest yet fought) between the Austrians
and the French. The fight took place at Ma
genta, some twelve miles from Milan, and it
is stated that three hundred thousand men
were engaged in the conflict. The French
Emperor partially commanded, and it is pre
sumable that the Austrian Emperor and the
King of Sardinia were near the scene of ac
tion. Napoleon claims a decisive victory,
and says they took 7,000 Austrians prisoners,
while 12,000 more were placed hors de Cala
bar. lie also states the French loss to be
3,000, while other reports represent it at be
tween 9,000 and 12,000 men. The French
General Espinasse was killed, and Marshal
Canrobert mortally wounded. Five French
Marshals and Generals and nine Austrian su•
perior officers were wounded. Milan was
evacuated by the Austrians, and its inhabit
ants had declared in favor of the King of Sar
dinia, but the French had not occupied the
city. On the reception of the news of the
victory in Paris the city was illuminated.
Thunder from Abroad.
WHEN THE PEOPLE SPEAK, LET TILE POLITICIANS
TREMBLE
Every day brings fresh evidence of the
fixed determination of the Democratic masses
to adhere firmly to the true faith and ignore
the apostacy and heresies of the National Ad
ministration and its adherents. In confirma
tion of this, we subjoin a few items.
At a Democratic Convention recently held
at Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio, the fol
lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Democracy of Butler
County repudiate the doctrine, whether it
comes from the North or the South, that Con
gress.should legislate for, or against the in
troduction of slavery into the Territories of
the United States, or for, or against its main
tenance therein ; believing, as we do, that it
is a question that should be left solely to the
bona, fide inhabitants of said Territories to set
tle for themselves.
Resolved, That we regard with undissem
bled. indignation and alarm the attempt to
mutilate or abridge the principle of popular
sovereignty and non-intervention—that we
maintain with unshaken firmness the doctrine
that the power of the people of a territory with
respect to domestic legislation, is as plenary
as that of a State, and stamp as unsound the
the theory which limits the rights of the peo
ple of a territory to act in reference to the insti
tution of slavery to the one particular time
when they come "to organize their State gov
ernment."
What makes the fact still more interesting,
is that Senator Pumr, heretofore a warm
friend of Buchanan, was present, and addres
sed the meeting. .
The Dover Gazette, speaking of the Demo
cratic State Convention to assemble this month
in the State of Maine, says :
" We hope they will take good care that
men of the right stamp are sent into the Na
tional Convention. They should be imbued
thoroughly with the principles of Popular
Sovereignty and Non-Intervention, and men
of nerve and back bone, to stand up manful
ly in support of these cardinal principles
when they get into the Convention."
At the recent election in Bangor,'Maine,
for delegates to the Deinocratic State Conven
tion, the vote stood, for the—
Popular Sovereignty ticket, 850
Buchanan ticket, 386
The meeting closed with cheers for Popu
lar Sovereignty and Douglas.
The Democrats of Alfred, Maine, elected
Popular Sovereignty delegates, and passed a
resolution in favor of the "Cincinnati Plat
form, as understood at the time, and so fully
amplified by Mr. Buchanan, in his letter of
acceptance."
The Democrats of Jackson, Maine, elected
Popular Sovereignty delegates by a vote of
four to one. So it has gone throughout the
whole State ; and so it will go throughout all
New England, New Jersey, Ohio, and the
Western States. If Pennsylvania falters,
or betrays the true principles of Democracy
to please Buchanan, the Democratic party
will be ruined for years, if not for ever.
At Unity, Maine, the entire Popular Sov
ereignty ticket was elected, and the meeting
passed the following resolutions :
Resolved, That we " don't mean to cheat
or be cheated ;" that we are in favor of the
Cincinnati resolutions, just as they were when
they were adopted; that the people of a Ter
ritory have a right to prohibit slavery if
they do not want it, and to allow it, if they
want it.
Resolved, That whoever may dissent, we
will stand by this platform.
At the County Convention of Waldo coun
ty, Maine, which was held at Appleton, Pop
ular Sovereignty delegates were chosen by a
nearly unanimous vote, and the following res
olutions unanimously adopted :
On motion of Galen Keene, Esq.,
Resolved, That we adhere strictly to the
doctrine of popular sovereignty—the right of
the people of States and Territories to "regu
late their domestic institutions in their own
way, subject only to the Constitution."
On motion of B. F. Sprague, Esq.,
Resolved, That we emphatically endorse
the sentiment contained in Mr. Buchanan's
letter of acceptance, that the people of a Ter
ritory, like those of a State, shall decide for
themselves whether slavery shall or shall not
exist within their limits."
Resolved, That the enactment of a code of
laws by Congress to protect slavery in the
territories, would be contrary to the policy of
the Democratic party, as - laid down in the
Cincinnati platform, which was "non-inter
vention by Congress with slavery in State and
Territory," and that, therefore, we are oppo
sed to such a measure.
On motion of W. F. Morang, Esq.,
Resolved, That we are equally opposed to
that new, monstrous, and alarming doctrine
proclaimed at Washington and repeated by
Democratic presses in this State, that slavery
in the territories must be protected by the Ju
diciary.
Resolved, That the people of a territory
have the right and power through- their Leg
islature to establish or exclude slavery at any
time.
The first gun has been fired in the far west,
and the shell has exploded where itiPwas in
tended, in the midst of the Buchanan camp.
The Democratic County Convention assem
bled in Dubuque, lowa, on the 16th, and the
entire delegation selected to the State Con
vention were anti-National Administration.
Strong Popular Sovereignty resolutions were
passed. This is but the beginning. The de
mocracy of the entire West will move in a
solid column against Buchanan heresies.
Tnr. SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.—The publish
ers of this widely circulated and popular il
lustrated weekly journal of mechanics and
science, announce that it will be enlarzed on
the first of July, and otherwise greatly im
proved, containing sixteen pages instead of
eight, the present size, which will make it
the largest and cheapest scientific journal in
the world; it is the only journal of its class
that has ever succeeded in this country, and
maintains a character for authority in all
matters of mechanics, science and the arts,
which is not excelled by any other journal
published in this country or in Europe. Al
though the publishers will incur an increased
expense of $B,OOO a year by this enlarge
ment, they have determined not to raise the
price of subscription, relying upon their
friends to indemnify them in this increased
expenditure, by a corresponding increase of
subscribers. Terms $2 a year, or 10 copies
for $l5. Specimen copies of the paper, with
a pamphlet of information to inventors, fur
nished gratis, by mail, on application to the
publishers, Munn & Co., No. 37 Park Row,
New York.
OLD DOCII3LENTS.-Mr. George W. Spyker,
of this county, has placed in our possession
the original manuscript of the following let
ters. They have never, until now, appeared
in print, and we know they will be read with
much interest*:—
READING, June IG, 1777.
SIR, :—The President and Council have
sent orders for the first class of the Militia of
Berks county, to make ready immediately to
march for Bristol, as General How is on his
march to this State, and it's expected that
Philadelphia will be attacked by land and
water. You are therefore desired, without
any delay, to . .v.nuire the officers under your
command, to bring in the first class'of their
respective company's to Reading, on the2lst
day of this instant, June, that they may be
furnished with arms and accoutrements, and
to march to Bristol, according to the former
order from Ills Excellency, Thomas Whar
ton, President of the Executive Council.—
And you are also earnestly requested to in
form the second class to prepare themselves
with all expedition, as it's hourly expected
they may be called. And if any of the class
refuse to march, get a substitute in their
place, and bring them along.
I am, with great respect,
Your humble servant,
JACOB MORGAN, Lieut.
To Col. Henry Spyker, of Tulpehocion.
P. S.—An express just arrived from His
Excellency, requiring the 2nd class to march
also, and the third to be got in readness, as
there's undoubted accounts of the enemy's
marching toward Philadelphia with a nu
merous army. Two wagons more will be
wanted for the 2nd class. Pray lose no
time, and exert yourself with the utmost dili
gence to forward the marches of both classes.
JACOB MORGAN, Lieut.
IN COUNCIL.
PESILADELPIIIA, July 14th, 1778.
SIR :—The attack which has been made by
the Indians and others, on the frontiers of
this State, having been laid before the Con
gress, and a consultation held between the
Board of War and Council, they• have agreed
upon the following arrangements, to wit : '
A detachment of Colonel Hartley's Regi
ment, to march from New Jersey to Easton,
these to join Colonel Howatz, who has under
his command a small number of horse: The
remainder of Colon el Hartley's Regiment, now
in Philadelphia, to march immediately to
Sunbury, and join the two companies lately
raised at Wyoming. Colonel Broadhead's
Regiment, now on their march to Pittsburg,
to be ordered to the Standing-Stone. But it
is necessary to add to these Continental Troops
a considerable body of Militia. Council have
therefore determined to order to Sunbury,
three hundred militia from the county of
Northumberland, four hundred from the coun
ty of Lancaster, and one hundred and fifty
from the county of Berks, to the Standing-
Stone, three hundred more from the county
of Cumberland, and two hundred from the
county of York to Easton, from the county of
Northampton, three hundred men, and from
the county of Berks, one hundred and fifty
men.
You are therefore to escort yourself; to get
into the field three hundred men of the' mili
tia of your county, and march them immedi
ately, the one half to Sunbury and the other
half to Easton as aforesaid.
For this purpose you are to order out the
first, second, third, and even the fourth class,
if it be necessary to make up the number.—
This number of men must be had.
You are to apply to William Henry Esq.,
of Lancaster for what number of arms may
be wanted. Ammunition and provisions will be
supplied to you by order of the Board of
War.
The arrival of a powerful fleet from France,
having a considerable number of troops on
board, with order to act in conjunction with
the Continental army, and now actually block
ing up the British fleet in the harbor of New
York, has induced the Congress to determine
to make a vigorous effort to destroy the whole
Brit ish force now in that city, and there ap
pears to be a reasonable ground to hope for
success in the attempt. This determination
makes it highly improper to detach any part
of the main army for the defence of the fron
tiers. If the attempt to reduce the whole
British force, should be crowned with success,
it will undoubtedly be attended with the
most salutary . effect, in removing the enemy
from the frontiers. As it cannot be doubted,
but that they must see the impossibility of
their continuing with any hope of success,
their attack on us, when we shall be able
to employ our whole force against them.—
And we are confident that the blow given by
the Indians will be surely revenged before
the war with them, will be closed.
am, Sir, with much respect,
Your very humble servant,
GEORGE BRYAN, Vice President.
To Col. Jacob Morgan, Lieut. of Berks co.
CORRESPONDENCE OP THE GLOBE.
ASTOR - HOUSE, NEW YORE. CITY,
June 9, 1859.
EDITOR Of TIIE GLOBE is my intention
to visit a considerable portion of the great
Empire State, and some of its noted places
of fashionable resort. A number of my young
friends on the Juniata, have requested me to
note down such objects of interest—of per
sons and things, as may come under my ob
servation. Already I. begin to feel my ina
bility, and in a free acknowledgment of it,
I shall hazard an attempt.
Having recently entered this great metrop
olis, I am yet unable to convey an idea how
city life appears in country eyes. In modern
times,
all great cities have got to be like little
worlds, each one striving to represent the
whole earth. It is true, in a commercial
point of view, each one is more like a busy,
buzzing hive of bees; gathering in its stores
from every field of labor, every clime, and
from every race of men. But as we stand
amid them, and look around upon the toiling
mass of men and women, they seem to have
forgotten every earthly consideration, save
the objects of their immediate pursuits.—
From the learned civilian at the forum to the
waiter in the dining hall—from the wealthy
merchant to the huckstering menial, we see
the same eager application, as if that one
pursuit were the whole end and aim-of life.
Bound together by strong social ties, each
one seems not to know his neighbor, as he
presses his anxious bosom to toil and prays
for gain—the idol of his heart. In the Acad
emy of Arts, the student_ grows pale in his
intense effort to summon spirits of beauty
from the silent chambers of the imagination.
The scholar bends over his manuscript, and
nearly forgets the ordinary civilities of life,
in the anticipation of a splendid name,
which his work is to herald through the land.
In the• more ordinary walks of life, the la
borer serves with a. willing hand, and mag
nifies the importance of his office. Even the
servant at the hotel, sees both a glorious
science and an art in waiting upon his
peers.
As I stand upon the dizzy height of New
York's granite towers, and. look down upon
the motly mass of moving forms, my. fugitive
thoughts bring up strange contrasts for spec
ulation. The rich man's chariot goes whirl
ing past, and throws its dust over the home
less and penniless beggar. The priest and
the pick-pocket walk side by side in cheer
ful mien, one with good will to all mankind,
the other with a bold head and a cunning
hand, in the pursuit of his victim. The
care-worn minstrel
. pours her tender strain
upon the ear in vain, but the wild operatic
sound charms fashion's ears, and brings gifts
of gold and thunders of applause. If we
pause here and ask, Is the world getting
wiser and better as age passes on ?—our
hopes are stifled at the first forms of city life.
Science, art, and discovery, send their cheer
ing blessings among men, and ambitious,
hopeful youth, look upon them as the day
spring of perpetual summer. But as science,
art, and discovery open new avenues of hap
piness and peace ; sin, sarcastic and subtle
as its dread parent, presses on to afflict and to
destroy. Then our generous hopes for the
happiness of our race are broken, and we
turn for consolation to the picture before us.
Then again our hopes revive at new expedi
ents, and thus goes on the labor of the hu
man race, and thus goes on the world's his
tory.
Jurrn 10th.—Since writing the above, I
have had a busy time of sight-seeing, omni
bus-riding, people-observing, and fault-find
ing. New York is one of the.wealthmst, dus
tiest and meanest of cities. On ,entering it,
the traveller is beset by a multitude of cab
drivers, porters, and baggage-Masters, and as
long as he remains, there is no end to them or
to the payment of bills. You stop at a fashion
able hotel, and you will receive more attention
than you need, and will be charged more for it
than you are willing to pay. You can have
the pleasure of looking around the spacious
dining-hall upon an army of waiters, you can
read over the bill of fair, and order from a
mixture of French and English names, any
thing that you wish ; you can then sit and
read the papers until the waiter can supply
you, you can then pay three dollars. per day,
with a bill of extras, and call that hotel life
in New York. My reader that is not famil
iar with city life, will need to be cautioned
against the black cab-drivers. They are
mostly foreigners, London liars, and perhaps
know something about thieves and pick-pock
ets. Experience and caution are required to
travel through a great city. As I possess but
little of either, I must give you my own meth
od of reconnoitering. My first step, is to pro
cure a good map and city guide, and taking
Broadway for the basis of surveys, I fix in
my mind, the relative positions of other streets,
avenues, and the direction in which numbers
run. lam then ready to take an omnibus
and ride its circuit for six cents. In this
way, we can proceed on other lines of 'buses,
and take a general view at a trifling expense.
We are then pretty well prepared for looking
after particular persons, places and things.
Having seen a considerable portion of this
city, I am now about to depart for the High
lands of the Hudson. Time will not allow
any attempt at a description of the grandeur
and magnificence, the commerce and enter
prise, or the meanness and arrogance of New
York city. By passing through it on my re
turn, I shall be better prepared to write an
account of its real merits.
The Farmers' High School.
FARMERS' HIGH SCHOOL, June 7, 1850.
At a meeting of the Students of the Far
mers' High School of Pennsylvania, June 7,
1859, the following Resolutions were adop-.
ted :
WrIEREAS, On account of ill health, Prof.
S. A. Baird has resigned his position as in
cumbent of the chair of Mathematics in this
Institution ; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we have heard with deep
regret, of the resignation of our worthy Pro
fessor.
Resolved, That during his limited stay
among us, we have found him to be a gentle
man, a scholar and a friend.
Resolved, That our warmest sympathies
will ever attend him in his journey through
life, whether in prosperity or adversity."
Resolved, That a copy of these Resolutions
be transmitted to Prof. Baird, and also be
presented for publication in the papers of our
different coun ties.
AND. J. KAUFFMAN,
ALDUS J. GROFF, Corn.
G. W. REED,
The services of Prof. David Wilgon, of
Juniata county, have been secured in the
room of Prof. Baird.
Kansas Resolutions
We publish the patriotic resolutions adop
ted by the Kansas Democratic Convention,
held on the 10th ult., at Tecumseh. There
were one hundred and fifty delegates present,
who represented some twenty counties.—
Unanimity and good feeling prevailed, and
the preamble and resolutions, which breathe
the true sentiments of Democracy, were adop
ted with one dissenting voice; such senti
ments as are echoed by the Democracy, and
inculcate, the only basis for harmonious and
united action.
WIIEREAS, The members of this Conven
tion have met, in pursuance of a call of the
Central Committee of the Democratic party
of Kansas, and being animated by a sincere
devotion to the Constitution and the Union,
the rights of the States, and the sovereignty
and reserved rights of the people; and, where
as, the slavery question is practically settled
in favor of a free State beyond the possibility
of further controversy ; and, whereas, we
recognize no difference between pro-slavery
and free State men, as such:—
Resolved, That we affirm our abiding faith
and confidence in the principles of the Dem
ocratic party, as enunciated by Jefferson,
Madison, Jackson, and founders of our Gov
ernment, and re-enunciated in the Cincinnati
platform.
Resolved, That the people of the Territo
ries, according to the true intent and meaning
of the act of Congress known as the "Kan
sas and Nebraska Act," have the sole exclu
sive right of the organization of a State gov
ernment to form an regulate their own do
mestic institutions in their own way, by the will
of the majority, fairly and fully expressed at
the ballot-box, subject only to the Constitu
tion of the United States.
Resolved, That non-intervention by Con-
Sress with the domestic institutions of the
tates or Territories, is the vital and distinc
tive feature of the Democratic party, and any
deviation from that principle, either for or
against those institutions, is impolitic, illib
eral and unjust.
Resolved, That we assert the original and
essential inferiority of the negro race, and
hereby . call upon the Constitutional Conven
tion to prohibit negro and mulatto suffrage.
Resolved, That said Convention should sub
mit said Constitution to a direct vote' of the
people for ratification or rejection.
Resolved, That we affirm the absolute soy
eignty.of the States of this Union in regard
to their domestic institutions, and the per
fect compatibility of the confederation of free
and slave States to exist harmoniously togeth
er under the provisions of our Federal Con
stitution.
Ile- Says the Wheeling latellzgencer of
June 16th :—" The flour panic among the
farmers in this section, bids fair to carry
many persons into all sorts of wild extrava
gances. We learn from a gentleman, just ar
rived from Washington county, of a reckless
thing which took place there on Saturday,
and which goes to show the state of feeling
existing in that neck of woods. A specula
tor, by the name of Patterson, has a large
lot of flour at Post's Mill, which he is hold
ing for an advance, in view of the recent
damaging frosts. On Saturday, some dozen
or more farmers living in the vicinity, repair
ed to the mill, broke down the door, and each
took a barrel of flour and left eight dollars
in the mill for every barrel thus removed—
all considering that a fair price for an article
which they could not buy with the consent of
the owner,
The second quarterly meeting of the Ex
ecutive Committee of the Pennsylvania State
Agricultural Society was held at the Girard
House, Philadelphia, on Tuesday afternoon,
June 14th. Present, Messrs. Taggert, of
Northumberland ; Woodward, of Philadel
phia; Gowen, of Mount Airy, Philadelphia;
Engle, of Bustleton, Philadelphia; Knox, of
Montgomery county ; Cornell, of Bucks coun
ty ; Cameron, Rutherford, Mish, Hamilton
and Heister, of Dauphin county ; Sturde
vent, of Luzerne county ; Maxwell, of North
ampton county; McAllister, of Centre coun
ty ; Haldeman, of York county ; Murdock,
of Allegheny county; Bucher, of Cumber
land county ; Miles, of Erie county ; McFar
land and. Stokes, of Westmoreland county.
On motion of Mr. Hamilton, Gen. Sturde
vant was called to the chair. After a free
interchange of views and opinions it was on
motion
Resolved, That the Society will hold its
next Annual Exhibition on the grounds gen
erously tendered to them by the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company, at Powelton, Phila
delphia, on Tuesday the 27th, Wednesday
the 28th, Thursday the 29th, and Friday the
30th, days of September.
On motion, it was
Resolved, That Messrs. Taggert, Meister
and Engle be a Committee, to whom shall be
confided full power to make all the arrange
ments of the Society for the holding of the
next Exhibition.
A number of interesting questions were
discussed,- and the utmost harmony and good
feeling prevailed, and each one seemed de
termined to spare no effort to make the ap
proaching exhibition creditable and success
ful.
Gen. Sturdevant tendered to the State So
ciety an invitation to hold the State Fair of
1860 on the Fair Grounds of the Luzerne
County Agricultural Society, in Wyoming
Valley.
On motion of Mr. Knox, it was
Resolved, That the cordial acknowledg
ments of the Executive Committee be exten
ded to the citizens of Wyoming Valley, for
the very generous invitation, through their
representative, Gen. Sturdevant, and that the
Committee will give it a respectful consider
ation when the time for action shall arrive.
ALPHA
Gen. Sturdevant, in a neat and pertinent
address, informed the Committee that the
grounds embraced seventy-two acres,
located
on the Wyoming battle ground, with a track
or course of one mile, with the necessary
fence, buildings and fixtures. He pointed
out the conveniences of the location, having
the North Branch Canal on the South, and
the extension of the New York Line on the
North, for the conveyance of heavy articles
for exhibition. The Railroad extending;
through New Jersey to New York, the Rail
road through Harrisburg to Pittsburgh, the
Railroad by Williamsport and Great Bend
to New York—thus furnishing conveniences
of access from any point, and a location re
plete with interesting reminiscences.
The death of Joseph Yeager, Esq., since
the last quarterly meeting, having been an
nounced by A. 0. Mester, the following pre
amble and resolutions were thereupon unan
imously adopted :
WnEanas, This Committee have heard with
deep regret of the recent death of Joseph
Yeager, Esq., late of the city of Philadelphia,
and one o£ our most esteemed and efficient
colleagues; and, whereas, it seems fit that
at the first meeting of the Committee after
that melancholy event, a record thereof
should be made in perpetual memory of
the many virtues of the deceased ; be it,
therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of Mr. Yeager,
the State Agricultural Society. and this, its
Executive Board have lost a valuable co-op
erator in the great work of promoting an im
proved agriculture thoughout Pennsylvania,
and the general community have lost an up
right and enterprising citizen.
Resolved, That she deceased, by his earnest
and intelligent efforts in behalf of the inter
ests of this Society, and by his kind and gen
tle manners, won for himself the confidence
and affection of all his associates, by whom
his memory will be long and gratefully cher
ished.
Resolved, That a Committee of three be
appointed to communicate a copy of these
resolutions to the family of the deceased.
Whereupon, Messrs. Woodward, Taggert
and Hamilton were appointed that Commit
tee.

MEDICAL SCIENCE.
'The history of "lIOOFLAND'S GERMAN BIT
VA" the most remarkable medicine of the day, and
the many cures that have been performed with it in cases
of LIVER COMPLAINT, DYSPEPSIA, NERVOUS DE
BILITY, and diseases arising from a disordered liver or

that have taken place in the medical world. The diseases
to which these Bitters are applicable are so universal, that
there are but few of our friends who may not test their

one remedy among the many advertised medicines, deser

minds of many persons, a prejudice exists against what
are called Patent Medicines; but why should this prevent
you resorting to an article that has such an array of tes:
timeny to support it as Ilootland's German Bitters? Phy
sicians prescribe it, Why . should you discard it? Judges,
usually considered men of talent, have and do use it in
their own families. Why should you reject it? Clergy
men, and those the most eminent, take it; why should
not yaw? Let not your prejudice usurp your reason, to
the everlasting injury of your health; if you are sick, and
require a medicine, try these Bitters.
These Bitters are prepared and sold by Dr. C. M, Jack
son, No. 418 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pa., and by drug
gists and storekeepers in every town and village in the
United States, Canadas, West Indies, and South America;
at 75 cents per bottle. See that the signature of C. 11L
Jackson is on the wrapper of each bottle.

LATE FIRE AT DUBUQUE, lOWA,
DUBUQUE, Jan. 7, 1850.
Gents: I am requested by Mr. T. A. C. Cochrane, of this
place, to say to you that on thb morning of the 4th inst.,
about 3 o'clock, his store took fire, and the entire stock of
goods was destroyed. The heat became so suddenly intense
that none of the goods could possibly be saved; but fortu
nately his hooks and papers, which were in one of your
Champion Si' Iles, were all preserved perfectly. And well
they may be called Champion, for dining the whole con
flagration there was one incessant pouring of flame direct
ly upon the safe which contained them. And still, upon
opening it, the inside was found to be scarcely warm, while
the outside was most severely scorched. Yours truly,
Herring's Patent Champion Fire and Burglar-Proof Safes
with HALL'S PATENT POWDER PROOF LOCKS, afford
the greatest security of any safe in the world. Also Side
board and Parlor safes, of elegant workmanship and finish,
for plate, Br.e.
