v«r the UAAnis of the ireoio.”
The Philadelphia Inquirer, after re
joicing that tile negro constitution of
youth Carolina had been adopted, and
asserting that “the State government
will be henceforth in the hands of the
Republicans,” Jubilantly adds “the fu
ture of South Carolina will be in' the
hands of the black man.” Verily this
is an honest confession—“the State gov
ernment will be in the hands of the Re
publicans,” because “South Carolina
is in the hands of the negro.” The
black man has become a very im
portant element in the Republican
party. He Is henceforth to rule the
destinies of the Southern State-,
and to wield tho controlling power in
Congress and in the electoral college.
The Inquirer and the Preas rejoice at
his advancement. Hut what say the |
masses of the Republican party? Are
they jubilant over the fact that hun
dreds of thousands ol ignorant negroes
have been admitted to full fellowship
in their party? Are they willing to
belong to the negro party of this coun
try? Are they willing to assist In ma
king negro Judges, Congressmen and
Senators. If not, the only safe course
for any member of the Republican par
ty who does not wish to give the gov
ernment of this country into the hands
of the negroes, is to vote with the
Democracy now. It U no doubt true,
a* the Inquirer boasts, that the South i
now ‘*in the‘hand** of the negro,” and
it will not be very long before the North
will be in a similar predicament.

We hope our Democratic friends
throughout the county will at once go
to work and establish Seymour and
Blair Ont.'S, Complete your organiza
tion a- soon as po.-.-ihle in every county
and school district. The Presidential
election will be determined, so far as
Pennsylvania is concerned, In October.
The Republican party understand this,
and will concentrate every dollar and
multiply their efforts on the issue on
the second Tuesday of October. If
proper efforts be now made weought to
carry the; State by fifteen or twenty
thousand majority, which will settle
the question for November. In every
case where yon have an organization
and can raise fifty dollars (more or less)
send for your county paper and send it
to your neighbors who do not subscribe
for it. Your comity paper will save
you making many a speech, and Is
worth all the braai bands you could
employ. Your county paper is read at
the fireside and carries conviction to an
entire family; it discusses the great
questions of the day calmly and logi-
Mdly, laying aside the superfluous
adornment which the stump orator
•tyles “ buncombe.” The duty of such
subscriptions therefore becomes imme
diately apparent, and to eacli and every
Democrat in the country, therefore, we
repeat the injunction, subscribe to your
local paper.
A NI'GCeSTIOX.
More terrible, outrages are daily be
ing committed by the Indians upon
western settlers, and yet \ve are told
that “ the War Department has no
troops to spare.” How would it ans
wer to let the people of the .South gov
ern themselves for a while, and send
the thousands of soldiers, who arc now
quartered in the South, to protect our
Western emigrants upon the borders of
civilization. It seems as if the Radical
loaders earo little how many western wo
men and children are murdered, if they
can only maintain their political su
premacy by the aid of bayonets and
negro votes. If tiie Democratic party
had control of affairs, tiiey would let
the people of the South fake care of
themselves, and send the army where it
would be of some use.
The South Carolina Legislature con
sists of twenty white and twelve negro
{Senators, and forty-four whites and
eighty negroes in the lower house.—
What do you think, reader, after this
experience, of the justice of arresting
American citizens for having said that
“ this Is a war for the nigger, and not
r the Union.”
LOOK AT UNDENIABLE FACTS.
The National bankers are not blame
able for embracing splendid opportuni
ties. All men would do the same. It
is human nature. The blame rests up
on those who presented the opportuni
ties—upon the crafty schemers who, to
create a combined money power to sus
tain their party, invented a system of
profit at the public expense, without a
parallel for its partiality and injustice.
Take a single one of its features as an
example. An association put up $lOO,-
000 in greenbacks to establish a Na
tional Bank. With these, $lOO,OOO in
five-twenties, are purchased. The bonds
are taken to the United States Treasury
and deposited as security for $OO,OOO In
National Banknotes, which are handed
over to the association who thereon set
up a National Bank. By this process,
their ready money capital is all return
ed to them, save $lO,OOO, and on this
the government pavs th£m an annual
interest of SIX THOUSAND DOL
LARS IN GOLD. No comment can
magnify this enormity. It is a cruel
sacrifice of the hard earnings of labor.
It stands out, in glaring light, an exam
ple of flagrant wrong and oppression,
which calls loudly for immediate re-
form,
• Then take the whole system in a !
lump. The joint capital of the Nation- ;
al Banks draws annually from the •
Treasury twenty millions in gold, worth ;
twenty-eight millions in greenback?.— •
in return for this buoy issue three him- :
drv'.i million* in National Bank notes, :
on winch they charge an interest to !
of nine per cent., making
twenty-seven millions more of profits
to these institutions, all equally drawn
indirectly from the producing classes. —
The whole amount of profits thus ac
cruing from the people to the National
Banks, through the opportunities un
wisely presented them by a faithless
Congress, is thus seen to beat least fifty
live millions a year. Now, why not is
sue greenbacks directly from the Treas
ury, and save this enormous aura?—
Why not get rid of an expensive cur
rency that costs the country at least
eighteen per cent, per annum ?
Gen. Grant’s party is opposed to such
reform ; they are the authors of the sys-
tom, and he declared in his letter of ac
cnptnnco that he bus no policy of his
own.
PURGING THE PABTT.
For several years past the Democrats
of Luzerne county—like the Democrats
of some other counties —have been sold
out in County Convention. Men pos
sessing wealth and dishonesty have, on
several occasions, had themselves nom
inated over those who were the choice
of the party. The consequence was a
demoralization of the party throughout
the county, and a general mistrust of
men. To pul a stop to this villainy,
and for the purpose of arresting tire do
ings of the political gamblers who were
using the parly lor their own selfish
purposes, the Democratic Central Club
of the county—au organization compos
ed often or twelve hundred men—held
a special meeting, and after discussing
the matter over for nearly an hour, the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted ;

it would bo well if the Democrats of
the several counties of tlic Slate would
emulate the example set by Luzerne,
and thus frown down the tricksters and
trimmers who Irc-qucnlly control con-,
vuntion'and foist themselves upon the
ticket in opposition to the wishes of
nine-tenths of the party. Keep the
party pure by purging it of corrupt
men, or if this can’t be done, let it be
condemned.
Gov. CuitTix ox Gov. Skymouu.—
Gov. Curtin, of this (state, was asked
the other day. in the Union League
club house of Philadelphia, what was
his opinion of Gov. Seymour. He re
plied: “Well sir, if I were asked to
mention a man who, in fny estimation,
possessed the attributes of a perfect gen
tleman, a cultivated scholar, a thorough
statesman and a sincere Christian, 1 ,
would, without hesitation, name Hora
tio Seymour, of New York.” “How
about Seymour’s loyalty.” “ After the
dispatches that I sent Seymour at the
time of the rebel raid into Pennsylva
nia,” replied the governor, “it would
hardly become me to impugn his loyal
ty; the fact is i have never doubted it.
I understand that Belmont is having
all the dispatches sent by Stanton and
myself printed, and I have no doubt
they will be in the hands of every Dem
ocratic slump speaker through the cam
paign. We had better give up attack
ing Seymour’s loyalty, for the opposi
tion hold the trump card in that mat
ter.”
A New Youk Herald correspondent
from Washington telegraphs that paper
as follows, in regard to the Presidential
election : “It is said hero to-day that
should the result of the October elec
tions indicate a probability of homo
cratie success iu tiro Presidential con
test, tiro Stale Legislatures of the North
which have a Radical majority will
proceed to choose Presidential electors,
and thus defeat the popular will. The
idea seems to be thrown out as a feeler
at present, but it may become a reality
if it is received with favor by the Re
publicans of New England.”
Hon. Montgomery Blair, brother of
Gem Frank 'P. Blair, says that in 1801
theXJenoral was offered the nomination
for Vice President upon the Republican
ticket. He very wisely declined it. So
it seems that the Republican party did
not always think badly of Prank.
JS“If our Democratic friends so will
it, they can have such an. overwhelming
Demonstration on Saturday evening, as
will strike terror into the hearts of the
foe.
SSTBear in mind the Democratic
meeting on Saturday evening.
ORANT AN A SOLDIER.
A General who should use up and put
hors dri combat one thousand of his own
regiments in the act of overcoming and
destroying one regiment of the enemy
would not be thought eminent in his
profession. That wo trust, is a propo
sition which every man who will vote
for Grant can unite with us in affirming.
It mist be doenud a safe statement.—
Now between sucli generalship, and the
generalship which conquers an equal or
a superior force, there are numberless
gradations of merit. That too, we hope,
nobody will dispute, being also a per
fectly safe statement.
Now we make no charges; wo apply
no epithets, but we simply lay before
our readers again the figures which en
able every man in the country each for
himself to judge just what rank be
tween these maxima and minima of
prowess, Just what merit between those
extremes of skillful and unskillful gen
eralship, deserves to be apportioned to
Gqncral Grant.
Grant, on assuming command, May
4, ISC4, had of effective men besides the
reserve, when he crossed the Bapidao,
125.000.
Lee, at th* same date, had sin effective
force of oi,ooo.
Grant’s reinforcements up to the bat
tle of Cold Harbor, Juno o, were 07,000.
Lee’s reinforcements up to the «imo
date were IS.OOO.
Grant’s total force, including rein-
forcemeats. ws.r- 222,000.
Lee’s total force, including reinforce
meats, was 70a‘ V.
Returns to ir respective govern
ments showed shut when both armio,-
had reached ir.o James, June Hi, the
number of Grants army that had bet n
put hors du combat was 117,00 h.
Up to the same date, the number of
Lee's men who had been put hors du
combat was 10,000.
Grant had more than three men for
every one that Lee had ; 222,000 to 70,-
000/
Grant lost more that; six men for eve
ry one that l.ce loM:; 117,000 to 19,000.
Grant lost as many men as all Lee had
and 12,000 over half as many more be
sides; 117,000 to 70,000.
Grant having in the first instance
more than twice ns many men as Lee,
(125,000 to 52,000) yet had to be reinforc
ed by more mcn'thanall Lee ever had 5
97,000 to 70,000.
These figures are derived 'from the
most authentic sources. Their accura
cy is also guaranteed by a Repub
lican general whose veracity or whose
capacity General Grant will be precisely
the last man on this planet to impeach.
‘WHITE TROOPS NOT TO BE TRUSTED.”
Letters and telegrams to Radical pa
pers from the Southern States agree in
the statement that arrangements are be
ing made lor the removal of all white
troops from that section. To use the
language of a despatch dated at Ral
eigh, N. C., and published in Greeley’s
Tribune , “the white troops are not to
he trusted ; they will be taken out of
the £outh and colored troops alone will
be concentrated here.”
“ White troops not to be trusted!”
i Who says that? The friends of Grant,
and Grant himself endorses the infa
mous sentiment by giving orders for
the removal of the white troops from
the South. And these are the meuwho
prate and sing about the “ Boys in
lltue,” and ay»pf*at \<> them to TOie for
the imbecile Grant. They are “not to
Le tru.ied,” but yet they ar* asked to
support the -men who publish this libel
upon their characters as soldiers. Ne
gro troc/p. are to be used by the carpet
baggers—they alone are to be “trusted.”
White troops are wanted where fight

groes. .\o, no—white soldier, revolt at

tSS~ Every one of the six hundred and
fifty Democratic voters ot Carlisle, will
be expected to bo on hand at the Dem
ocratic meeting on Saturday evening.
In 1859 a workingman could clothe
himself and family in a decent, com
fortable manner on the proceeds of one
month’s work. Now it takes all that
the same man can earn in three months
to put him in a like condition. This
change lias been affected by eight years
of Radical rule. If Grant is elected and
the Radicals continued in power, in
a short time the workingmen of this na
tion will be as poorly fed, clothed and
lodged as those of the most despotic na
tion in the old world. Will they aid in
producing such results?
Tirte real question is not so much
whether the negroes and carpet-baggers
are to rule the South, but whether they
are to rule us. Already there are twelve
of these loil” leeches in the Senate
and tliirty-three in the House. Are
they to rule us? That is the question.

WADE HAMPTON’S SPEECHES.
Tho Charleston Mercury publishes tbo
following extract from a speech of Wade
Hampton, before the South Carolina
Democratic Convention :*
lam glad that the reference mado by
the gentleman from Marion affords me
an opportunity to say a few words con
cerning myself. If these misrepresenta
tions of language which I hare uttered,
if the perversions of facts which I have
stated reflected only upon me, I should
not only bear tho Infliction with patience,
but treat it with the contempt It deserves.
When however, I am told that these
falsehood are a source of Injury to our
cause, nud that they weaken tho Demo
cratic party—that party upon which our
life and salvation depend—l am glad to
have an .opportunity to denounce them
and their authors ns infamous.
I have said more to the people of New
York than to anv Southern audience. I
told them that we believed we wore right,
but that wo were willing to accord to
others what we claimed for ourselves,
viz: perfect sincerity in our convictions
and unquestioned devotion to principle.
I told the Northern people that wo spoke
with no double tongue, (hat we wore
earnest and truthful in our desire to sup
port the Union and the Constitution,
and in that spirit wo accepted the hand
so freely extended to us by the great
Democracy of the North.
I told them wa wanted the Constitu
tion restored. Does this look like revo
lution ?
I declared that wo wanted peace; but
instead of receiving peace, we have not
only been charged with being revolution
ary, but there seems to have been a per
sistent eflort to drag into, some out
rage or outbreak which would alibid
them poll Hen' capital at our expense.
I have recently scon what, purports to
bo a quotation from a speech made in
Charleston, not to an ordinary meeting,
but in acknowledgment of a compliment
—a serenade given to mo by my old sol- I
diers. lam told that in tho Now York
Jitiwld it is published that I said, “ Tho
flag had been preserved, and I should
one day untold it and call around me the
men who used to follow that banner on
the field.” I ueod not tell you that this
statement is in every respect false. On
the contrary, when I spoke of the flag of
the Confederacy, J remarked that it noio
was furled forever, to be buried in the
grave of our lost can.sc. I did make an
allusion to another flag, which had been
followed by many of the men standing
around me. It was a flag that bad been
worked by the descendants of Revolu
tionary patriots, and presented to us by
the noble women or South Carollnla,
through tho hands of our then Chief
Magistrate; a flag which had floated
amid the smoke of many a desperate bat
tle-fleld, which had been borne by myown
hero sou, and which enshrouded him
when he was carried to the tomb. I
told them that flag was resting with me;
for*! knew that they would be glad to
hear tidings of a banner that bad long
been familiar to their eyes, and whose
ample folds did not contain space enough
on which to write tho names of all the
engagements in which it had floated in
front of battle. Because I told my old
comrades that that flag of a single regi-*
ment bad not been burned in the wreck
of Columbia, these Radicals of the North
basely perverted both lauguage and sense
for (he purpose of producing political ef
fect. Had they taken the pains to do so
they would have seeu that I said that
even that flay was furled forever, to be
buried in the grave of our lost cause'.
I should not have noticed these gross
misrepresentations, had they not been
brought to my notice in a direct manner
by my friend from Marion ; but since he
has afforded me an opportunity of doing
so, I use it not only to announce these state
ments as false, but to reiterate here, as I do
in every place, that lam fighting as ear
nestly in (he interest of peace os' I did in
war. In saying this, I recognize ail of
the issues involved in this contest, and
also recognizo, to the fullest extent, tho
kindness extended to us at the North by
those who met us on a hundred battle
fields, and who, standing around a com
mon altar which they wished once more
to raise, extended in faith and kindness
the right hand of friendship. I ask you
what more can I do? Everywhere I
have urged our people to come forward
in this con Lest, and bo as true.soldiers in
the cauoe of peace as they were in the
cause of war. This is all I have done,
and it is what I ahull continue to do, not
withstanding the misrepresentation*
that may be given to the world. What
ever may '.bo the character of the false
hoods circulated, I intend to pursue uu
even course, ami will not be provoked to
say one word that is acrimonious or offen
sive. I know the object .which the Radi
cals have in view, and I urge the people
not to give way to prejudice or passion.—-
Lei them in patience endura the misfor
tunes they cannot control, avoid all con
flicts with the negroes, give no political
capital to our enemies, trust to the Demo
cratic party, tight this great struggle
with peaceful agencies alone, and there
Is every reason Ip believe that we shall
witness the restoration ot the govern
ment, and the supremacy of the Consti
tution of tho United Slates.

FBST GSANO BALL¥!
A meeting of all those who endorse the
principles of the Democratic National
platform and favor the election of Sey
mour and Blair, will be hoid-ih the Court
House,
ON SATURDAY EVENING, sth INRT.,
at half past seven o’clock, for the purpose
of organizing a campaign club.
Several eminent speakers from a dis
tance have been invited to address the
meeting.
It is hoped there will be a full attend
ance from town and the surrounding
country, and that our first Grand Rally
will be a complete success.
Fire Company Notice.— There will bo
a meeting of the Union Fire Company at
their hall, on Saturday' afternoon next,
at 5 o’clock, for an exercise, &c. Punc
tual attendance requested.
Rather Expensive.— One of our
young friends complains sadly at the high
price of “ducks." His wife recently
bought three for $lO5, viz: a “duck" of
a dress, a “ duck" of a bonnet, and a
“ duck” of a parasol.
SS?-Como from South Middleton to
the Democratic meeting on Saturday
evening. .
Bad.— A disease has broken out among
the cattle in Union and Lycoming coun
ties. It is supposed that the disease came
from Ohio, as large numbers of cattle
have recently arrived from that State.—
Measures should betaken to prevent its
spread into this county.
Fatal Accident.— A few days ago Mr.
Samuel Hughes, of Landiaburg, while
working nt a stone mill near Hoguea
town, Cumberland county, fell from the
Bcallblding, a distance of forty feet, and
was injured to such an extent that he
died in a few hours. The deceased was
an old resident of Landisburg, and highly
respected.— Patriot.
Woutii A Trial.—An English civil
engineer proposes that when rain cloud*
hoverovor any district requiring rain, a
good volley shall bo fired from heavy guns
which, ho says, will have the eflect of
shaking the rain out of the atmosphere.
Perhaps this idea may bo serviceable to
some of our troops stationed on-dry por
tions of tho coast.
Gross 1 Liniment.—Mr. J. K. Means
desires us to say that he recently used
two bottles of Gross’ Liniment for a
sprained leg of one of his horses and tfliat
it effected a speedy and complete cure.
Ho cordially rocomonds it to those in
need of such a remedy for their stock. If
Is manufactured by E. M. Gross of Now
ville.
Adams Ccrtntv Fair.— Tho Adamfc
County Agricultural Society will hold
their Sixth Annual Exhibition, at Get
tysburg, on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, 22d, 23< and 21th days of
September. They have, among other
attractions, a full half-mile Track, in
excellent condition, and offer a prcnii-.
um of one hundred dollars for the best
trotter —open to* the world.
I\kksii Lobster.—\V* »re indebted le
xmr Irieud Charley Franciscan, No. .VJ
West High street, for a can of very supe
rior fresh Lob>(crs. They are in her
metically sealed Vans, am! as aweet and
fresh as the hour they were taken from
the shell. Lobster, when properly pre
pared, Ik a rare relish, ami those who are
fond of them should not fail to give Mr.
F. a call, who intends to keep a good
supply {'ii hand.
from North Middleton to
the Democratic meeting on Saturday
evening.
Balloon Ascension.—Our country
people should not forgot that Professor
Light will make a Balloon Ascension
from the Public Square, on Saturday af
ternoon, if tho weather is fair. The en
tertainment will well repay a visit to
town, and now that such unusual in
terest is excited in the subject of serial
navigation, wo trust this enterprise will
be well encouraged. Let us have, a
town full of people and a good time gen
erally.
New Engine Hall.—The Good Will
Hose Company have purchased the lot of
William Clepper, Esq., on South Han
over St. T and intend erecting thereon a
splendid and oomra'odious Hall, which
will be an ornament to the town. We
wish this enterprising company abun
dant success in the new project. We
understand that about four hundred dol
lars are yet wanting, before they can com
mence to build, and have no doubt our
liberal-hearted citizens will cheerfully
respond to the call.
A Word to Postmasters.—We would
call the attention of Postmasters to tho
fact that when subscribers refuse or neg
lect to takg their papers from the office,
it is not a compliance with the law to
simply return them, marked “ refused,”
“ removed,” &c. He must-write a letter
giving the reasons , or he is chargeable. —
When the papers are simply returned,
we shall pay no attention to the matter,
and if any are now lying in post offices
uncalled for, the postmaster is requested
to notify us at once, in accordance with
the law.
Come from Dickinson to the Dem
ocratic meeting on Saturday evening.
BkeathePure Air. —Life is sustained 1
more from the lungs than the stomachs.
We eat three Limes a day and breathe
eight thousand six hundred and forty
times, yet the stomacho is looked after
with a care never extended to the lungs
except they become diseased. A little
more attention to what wo breathe, and
a good deal loss as to what wo eat, would
result in handsomer complexions, bettor
blood,-stronger constitutions, more buy
ant spirits, and vastly superior disposi
tions so fur as amiability #iid other vir
tues go.
Time to Fisn.—An old fisherman says
if a man wants to catch fish whenever ho
visits the creek, lot him not pick the full
moon days to do it in. Ho gives a phi
losophical reason for the advice. He
says when the moon is fall, the nights
being bright, enable the fish to do all
their foraging in the night time. Of
comae, having all their wants supplied,
they lay- up all day, and consequently
there is n scarcity of bites: Under a now
moon season, the fish sloop at night and
work by day, which makes the difference
in the fisherman’s string.
jjgy Como from Middlesex to tho
Democratic mooting on Saturday eve
ning.
Good iNXTsPLACE.—Streugth is a good;
thing, hut, like a great many other mat
ters in life, it must be in its appropriate
place. It is good in a roan, horao, house,
but not iu one’s breath; it is good in
principles but not in passions ; it is good
iu conversation and character, and some
people think in cheese, but not in person
al odors.nnd fishiness of character; it is
good iu the church and state, but not in
tho excentricitics and absurdities which
men and women often exhibit; in a
word, which is no very remarkable state
ment, it is good in good things and bad
in bad ones.
Site of the Soldiers’ Monument.—
On Saturday last, a meeting of the Sol
d iers’ Monument Association was held at
the Arbitration room in the Court House,
to determine on the best point for the lo
cation of the Monument. We under
stand .the vote was unanimously in favor
of its location on the Public Square north
of the Court House. This will be an ad
mirable site, aud wo trust that the peo
ple of the county will now come forward
with one accord and contribute to the
fund, in order that it may be erected as
soon as possible. Several thousand dol
lars are yet needed, and we trust to see it
aubscribed during the present year.
Republican Nominees. —The Re
publican Senatorial Conferees of York
and Cumberland counties met at Bridg
port, on Thursday last, and nominated
John McCurdy, Esq., of Shippensburg,
for the Senate, We understand that Mr.
McCurdy is not at all ambitious of being
beaten to the tune of four thousand, and
therefore declines to run.
On the same day the Congressional
Conferees put in nomination Samuel
Small Esq. of York. Mr. Small doubt
less appreciates the empty compliment of
a nomination, and if he bus any inten
tion of revolutionizing the political com
plexion of the District, we suggest that
“ old Codorus” would bo as good a place
as any to commence on.
from Frankfort! to the
Democratic meeting on Saturday eve
ning.
'Come to the Meeting.—Much of (ho
wriT-s of tho coming election depends
upon tho spirit and enthusiasm of the
grand opening of the campaign, on Sat
urday evening. Let us have an old fash
ioned Democratic Rally, and fill the
Court House to overflowing. It is high
time we wore organized for a vigorous
and active campaign. Six weeks only
remain before Lire October election, and
upon tile verdict-then rendered by the
people of Pennsylvania will hang the re
sult of tho Presidential contest. More
than half the .light is in starting right,
and every Democrat owes it to himself to
lend tho influence of his presence at the
demonstration to be made on Saturday,
evening.
Court Proceedings.— The August
term commenced on Monday 2-lth inst,
before President Judge Graham and as
sociate Judges Stuart and Blair. Tho fol
lowing eases wore tried :
Commonwealth vu. Rev. George Book
ley. AdnMcrv and. Kornhiatlon. This
ca-e wa- 'nisi .il li.e April term, and the
verdict w a- set n-ide i.y Hie Court and a
new trial planted. It wa- one of those
unfortunate trials winch ex ’itu undue
interest mi tho part ol the public, by the
ioathesomeiies-of its details ; and it is a
source of deep congratulation to tbs
friends of the Reverend gentleman that
ho mot with such a triumphal acquittal at
the hands of the Jury After a brief ab
sence the Jury returned with a verdict of
“ not guilty and the county to pay the
costs.” During the trial we studiously
forbore to comment upon the merits of
the case, hut now that a judicial vordiot
of acquittal has been rendered, after a
most searching trial, wo deem it but
duo to tho character of Mr. Boekloy to
advise that’tile terrible suspicions which
were thrown around itis conduct ho hur
ried out of sight forever, and that he be
recognized as an upright and innocent
man, as a Jury of his fellow citizens
have pronounced him to he. Messrs
Moglaughlin, Todd and tlhearer wore
concerned for the Commonwealth, and
Messrs Hepburn, Miller and Newsham
for tho delense.

A NEW -EISSIEDY IN CONSUME-
TICXN,
A Physician, who had consumption for sovor
al yours, with frequent bleedings of tho lungs,
cured himself with a medicine unknown to the
profession, when his enso appeared hopeless. He
Is tho only physician who has used It in his own
person, or who has any knowledge of Its virtues;
and ho can ascribe the 'degree of health ho now
enjoys to nothing but tho use of this medicine;
and nothing but utter despair and entire extinc
tion of all hope of recovery, together with a want
of confidence in all others. Induced him to haz
ard the experiment. To those suffering with any
disease of the Lungs, ho profiers a treatment ho
confidently believes, will eradicate tho disease.—
