in dilliteise a _sfmg the possibilities:and .probehil
ties of war with England. The rumors.
are ] i atiilr. Cram* . on w il l- receivolis,pless,
ports and consequerit leave of absence from
this country, ['Apo early date. He Atertnirt
ly has made himself exceedingly obnoxiops
to the authoritips at Washington and to the
people of this Republic, by his indiscretions
and blundering diplomacy. England, husf-'
ever, through her ministry, which seems to
bear no lose Mwards 134. &mires Mr. Cramp
ton to remain andhe pertinaciously clings
to his office, tbengh knowing his unpopular
ity; and he will abide, we imagine, as long
as our government permits. The result of
his dismissal will not, we think, be war—
that is, if England has a right conception of
her own interests. After the expensive and
ruinous Crimean excursion, she cannot be
anxious to try it over, so soon. Should she,
however, although we have an expansive
coast conclude to get angry, we do not be
lieve the people of this country will be very
much scared.
We give the rumors from Washington,
which are as usual, contradictory
One states that Lord Clarendon's last dis
patch bases its refusal to comply with the
demand of Mr. Marcy, upon Mr. Crampton': '
unsupported assertion, that whatever lie did
in the enlistment business was done in the
confidence anti with ,. the: negative approba
tion of the 'S...ntertican Seeretary of. State.
And this astartiondependsnpon Mr. Cramp
ton'e simple wend.
Another states that the Cabinet has defi
nitely determined upon the dismissal of Mr.
Crampton, although several days may elapse
before it is consummated.
Another, that Mr. Crampton contemplates
the publication soon of a vindication of him
self, from the imputation of falsehood in his
letter to Lord Clarendon relative to Mr.
Clayton. His explanation, it is underotood,
is:that the conversation to which Messrs.
Crittenden and - Fish testify related tell:disc,
and not to Ruatan.
Another, that there is some hesitation as
to the particular mode of meeting the inge
nious answer of Lord Clarendon. The dis
avowal of the British Government to outrage
our laws or sovereignty necessarily requires
to be met with corresponding consideration.
Hence much delicacy is involved in the dis
missal of Mr. Crampton without embarrass
ment, us there is a compromise in receding,
after what has occurred. The South, al
ways sensitive about war, is particularly
nervous now at the bare possibility of such
a contingency, and appeals from that quar
ter haie been heard by the President with
marked deference and almost favor. The
opinion on this subject in high qtiarters is
not so confirmed atri it was a fortnight, ago.
Another, that. Mr. Crampton will give n
satisfactory explanation of all his apparent
mistakes. Upon this point, a correspondent
of the New York Courier says: •
"It cannot be believed that Mr. Crampton
would intentionally misrepresent the words
of either Mr. Clayton or Gen. Cass, and the
mistaken impressions on which his dispatch
es were prepared would doubtless be re
moved by enikts.rcltur , pnglcpm PnrFof
to Vet - stiftiiicalhas - occurred
between Mr. Buchanan and Lord Clarendon;
and any'pessibllity of imputation upon. the
truth and honor of either was removed by
the publication of the correspondence, which
showed that each was right in his Ova - view
of what had taken place."
Another, that there will be further corres
pondence with Mr. Crampton on facts al
leged in the Earl of Clarendon's despatch of
May third. The correspondence will be
friendly and apologetic in tone, and an ami
cable arrangement is certain.
Another, that Lord Clarendon's despatch
does not refuse to recall, but merely argues
.the case in a mild and conciliatory spirit.
Another, that Mr. Marcy is now engaged
in replying to Lord Clarendon's lengthy de
spatch, in which his lordship admits that if
the facts were as stated by Mr. Marcy, Mr.
Crampton should be recalled. But he de
nies their truth, and submits a mass of evi
dence sustaining Mr. Crampton. So soon
as Mr. Marcy's reply is prepared, a copy
will be furnished Mr. Crampton, together
with his passports, perhaps.
FROM NICARAGUA AND MEXICO
By the Quaker City which arrived at New

a rumor that the Spanish Government is fit

When we reflect upon the many disgraceful

place, and th e monument er statue will then
be completed. 4 few wealthy gentlemen,
residing around Union S 4. p.a.rp and its vicin

With these - rings I went to the Churc h,

which we li med, ehewed a considerable
amount of e - in its prepaiation, and as a
literary proatatrai. apart from its doctrines
and sentimenSii, was:highly creditable to its
author; and:Whilst I Most cheerfully accord
to it all that- - i - 'has n right to claim to this
respect, I Inuit be permitted to say, that it
abounded in fross . perversions of Dr. Elder's
lecture—in allargmg.the Dr. with holding
and utterinerpratments (whether he holds
them or.not) arbieh he.certainly did not ut
ter. .Mr. Erskine ,charged Dr. Elder, among
other inonsus heresies, with nullifying
the efforts off Luther, Melancthon, Calvin
and others, Upbringing about the reforma
tion of the 16th Century, and of attributing
that great WO : c-to the agency of "Mechanic
arts." No M.-say that Dr. Elder did not
make any se "en assertlen , and challenge
Mr. Erskine . 'preclude
'preclude a candid man who
was present either of the Doctors lectures,
who will say..that he uttered any such sen
timents. lie also charged the Dr. with re
pudiating the Bible , as an agent in pr ‘ -
ducing theinidal reforms of the day; hero
again I take -issue with him, and say that
not one word of the'kind fell from the lips of
Dr. Elder, but that so far from the utterance
of-such. setdittkonts, throughout his lectures,
he spoke of tiro Bible and its doctrines, as
the principal agent in such a work.. In his
first lecture-hire he spoke of Luther as one
of the greatest. men that the world ever pro
duced; and tke..niission, -work, character and
miracles of Jesus Christ, as a beautiful ex
emplification and triumphant vindication of
the truths utlered and taught by him. Ile
said nothing about John Calvin; nor do I
think him called to honorable mention un
til the genera); resurrection shall have reani
mated the charred embers of Michael Serve
tus. Mr. Erskine appeared to be in great
trouble became, the friends of popular edu
cation do not ' ti ke teaching the Bible in the
Schools the plincipal part of the School ex
ercises, and
s rliether he intended it or not,
the inference *as fairly drawn from his sub
ject that it were better to have no education
at all, than that religion should not be taught
in the Schoch, and in proof that this was
his leading idea - he held up our Scottish an
cestry as models of the effects of the teach
ings of the _Bible and Catechism, (of course
be means •the Westminster Catechism.)
Well, now, it at has been the result of
teaching this tame Catechism? All travel
lers tell us Unit the cities of Scotland, right
where "our Se' oich ancestry" came from, are
the most deptirced and debauched cities in
all Europe, ivrillst in Paris, Lyons and other
French eitiettc--where this celebrated Cate
chism has not,been regarded as a standard
work in their 1 • ools, there is scarcely such
a thing as a .1' -- 1 - .Itard to be found. In Ger

fers is but, , gatni - awn and where the scien

the practical Nttirkings of the catechism; we
have only .to go to the hills of puritanical
New England - to find the bleached bones of
the unoffenditruakers-who were catechh ised
for their hues s.
But it is not-the design of this communi
cation to object to the teaching of the Cate
chism or tiny thing else which has a.tenden
cy to, promote' morality, if it be insisted
upon that thiit is the effect of the shorter
Catechistn, but simply to show that Dr. El
derhas not basil fairly dealt with; and I
trust-Mr. Erskine will pardon me when I
say that he suffers his preconceived notions
to interfere wih his candor in relation to
the Dr. .1 -
Let me give the history of Dr. Elder's
visit and lecture. lt is very well known
that a society }vas formed here -about one
year since, callep. the "Young People's Chris
tian 'Association." By its constitution,
nothing of a sattaritm or political character
Could ever enter into its deliberations., Rev.
{dr. Menges was elected President, and has
always conducted its affairs within the strict
constitutional limits of the society. Ile has
manifested, at 411 times, a!TiriVorliberality
which Mr. Erskine might imitate with great
advantage. , After the Association had grown
to be of sonic importance, the subject of gFt
ting'mp a course. of popular lectures was in
troatiteili.and the 'services of several gentle
men of higivlitientry reputation secured •to
lecture. Mr. 'Erskine, although he had
manifested some liberality in the formation
of. the Association, began soon to exhibit
signs of uneasiness. I should here remark,
that although E. did give his counten
ance to the organization of the society, he
did not become n member until it was yro
posed to invite Dr. Elder to lecture before it.
Fearing. perhaps, that the dogmas of West
minister might suffer in the bands of so em
inent a man as Dr. Elder, he enrolled his
name as a member and before the ink was
dry. comment an onslaughtonly equalled,
if equalled at art, by the chivalry of ILuii
bras. Failing however in preventing the
Doctor's lecture,lie set about defeating the
..,
object of the iety, by denouncing Dr.
Elder as "an in cl;" but, notwithstanding
the assaults ta imade, the Dr. came and
delivered his lecture; and those who heard
him on that occalsion were so delighted, that
a letter was drawn up and signed by a large
number of our 'most respectable citizens,
many of them inembers •of Mr. Erskine's
Church, inviting him to return and deliver
another lecture, Which he' did to an increas
ed audience, all of whom expressed the high
est satisfaction. iln neither of these lectures
did he utter ono Single infidel sentiment.
It will thus be been, tliatthe efforts of' Mr.
Erskine to prevedt Dr. Elder from lecturing
here having proved abortive, he is now endea
vorhy, to shield himself behind the ramparts
of his own pulpit, to hurl his thunderbolts
at the devoted head of an uueffending man.
Now I look upon:Mr.. Erskine as a man of
too high standin-in this community to re
sort to so cowardly a mode of warfare. and
if he desires to review the lecture of any
man, he ought to beat him and not depend
upon disconnects serape,' picked_
- up by
mere heresay, and then attribute to the
lecturer sentiments which he never uttered.
But to Show thitDr.' Elder is not consid
ered such a dreluillil heretic elsewhere, it is
only necessary to say, that he lectured be
fore the Young Meres Christian Associations
of York, Lancaster . and Harrisburg; and I
have not heard of any review except the one
by Rev. Mr. Erikine on Sunday last. I
hope ho - will sure* the-shock of thatenrth
qualm. But this,vemillmaratkal is already
...
too long, and as y Inxtre mere tp 547 on
the subject, I in w.oonelnde by advising
Mr. Erskine nrsd ' a more' candid 'course
in his reviews a n never build up men of
straw merely to tear ewe to pieces, and
expect the Appian* of, ma astonished multi
bide at his deeds of noble daring. But if
he desires to expose the errors, as he may
call-them, of public lectures, he should go
and hear them, or, at least, get true state
ments of the doctrinewomulgeted.

AN AIiTONISHING EMT.
FAKED THOUGHOIIT THE W.Olitp.
New York and London are now the great
manufacturing depots for Holletiay's Pills
And Ointment. From No. 80 Maiden 'Lane,
this city, and No. 244 Strand, London, are
sentlforth, daily; millions of bOxes'iind pots
of these inestimable medicines. The heavy
duty - imposed by our government upon pat
ent medicines, and the large and constantly
increasing sale of Holloway's Pills and
Ointment in this country, determined their
proprietor to make this city his residence.
Our republican system of government is also
in harmony with the predilections of Profes
sor Holloway; and though Kings and Empe
rors have conferred upon him honors and
especial favors, these will never be so grati
fying to him; as the grateful hearts of mil
lions of free citizens who without any en
dorsement of sovereign authority,-freely pa
tronize his celebrated remedies for the pre
vention and removal of disease.
' As a member of the medical faculty, hav
ing long witnessed the inefficiency of the
profession in curing disease, and being fa
miliar with the errors and follies of the pro
fession, we feel it an imperative duty to ac
quaint the American public with the arrival
of this distinguished physician in our city.
His fame, in a measure, preceded him to our
shores, but the extent of the good he has
ambit& the world has never yet been pro
clahned to an American public, Great as
his reputation is, it is destined to increase far

ter of any man whose profession was that of
healing the sick.
We shall embrace other occasions to ex
plain to the American people the system,
the theory and mode of cure adopted by Pro
fessor Holloway. His Pills and Ointment,
the one taken internally, and the other ap
plied externally, net in harmonious conjunc
tion, and if his directions arc followed, will
eradicate every disease incident to man in
all climes. They purify and cleanse the body
and restore healthy action in every organ.
Our space will not permit us to say more at
this time respecting this distinguished man
and his celebrated - remedies.. He has one
ambition and it is an honorable one. He
wishes to have the world fur a patient; and
he will succeed in his desire.
It is our object to address the American
public in a series of articles, showing con
elusively that, in the whole history of medi
cal science, no medicines have ever been of
fered for their use which are •so efficacious
in restoring health and preventing disease,
as those of Professor Holloway. In this
series of articles we shall ncessarily explain
much of the human system, and those phy
siological laws of life controling our bodies,
both in health and disease. The American
-public are sufficiently intelligent to judge
of their own interests, and it is no longer
in the power of those styling themselves
regular physicians to conceal from them
important truths concerning their health.—

PRESERVE Youn ll.ttn.—To those who are
not aware that each .particular hair on the
head is a hollow tube, through which the
fluid circulates which conveys nourishment,
and imparts its peculiar shades of color, it
seems incomprehensible how restoratives
can produce a renovating influence. While
preparations of• this nature were entrusted
to quacks, and ignorant manufacturers of
able mischief Tvai'inflicted on many a cred
ulous and deluded. sufferer. But when sci
entific men like Professor Wc;cal, bring the
lights of physiology and 'chemistry to boar
upon the treatment of such specialti6, the
result is the complete success which the cer
tificates of thousands of relieved sufferers
bear testimony to. See his advertisement.

Joux TYLER LECTURING ON TIIE DEAD OF
HIS CABINET.—Tbe South Side (Va.) Demo
crat states that ex-President Tyler is about
to deliver a lecture on "The Dead of his
Cabinet." The Democrat sayst—ln that
Cabinet were the accomplished Legate, the
elegant and erudite Upshot,• the brilliant
Gilmer, and those twin giantS of their age,
Webster and Calhoun. Scarce s ten years
have passed since the illustrious galaxy of
statesmen, jurists and scholars, filled the
offices of the Cabinet, but one by one the
nation has put on mourning for them, and
ho 'who gathered them around him to bear
with him the great responsibilities of his
time, and share the heavy duties of his post,
still lives to speak their eulogies. Need we
add that it will be a tribute worthy even of
these mighty dead.
118... The suit instituted by the Common
wealth against the Harrisburg Bank for
certain moneys alleged to be due by it to
the State, was decided in favor of the Com
monwealth on the sth instant. The suit was
brought under a section of the Act of As
sembly of 1850 which provides for the keep
ing of the notes of all the Banks in the inte
rior at par,either in Philadelphia or Pitts
burg---dthe penalty being two mills on every
dollaf of average circulation. The Harris
burg Bank refused to comply with the law,
and the suit was therefore instituted and
decided as above. There are suits pending
against several other Banks.
tte...The shares in the Ridgeway Farm
and Coal Co. have been raised from Two
Hundred Dollars to Three Hundred Dollars
after the first of June. This has been done
in consequence of the great rise in good Elk
County Lands within the past year. It
forms a fine tract of the best coal as well as
Farming Land, and the property in the vi
cinity is selling much higher. It is princi
pally bought up by Coal Companies. In a
short time it will no doubt be taken out of
the market altogether by Capitalists. The
company sells at the old rates until the first
of June.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS, INFAL
LIBLE REMEDIES FOR SALT RHEUM: Edward
Jackion, of Galveston, Texas, suffered un
ceasingly for four years with salt rheum; so
bad was he that for four or five months at a
time, he was compelled to keep to his bed,
and the doctors told him candidly that he
need never again expect to be well. Find
ing this to be the case he dismissed them,
and immediately put himself under a course
of Holloway's Ointment and Pills; these fine
remedies soon made such an improvement
in him that he was enabled to resume his
occupation, and by continuing them for a
short time, he was restored to the• blessings
of health, which he has enjoyed ever since.
