The Southern Fever.
We deem it useless to print any portion
of the balderdash sent over the telegraph
wires respecting South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi and Florida taking
measures to secede from the Union. In
South Carolina there is a great deal of talk
and bombast among the tory democrats who
vegetate there since the revolution. In
Georgia the Governor, who is a sort of
'• John Brown," Las proposed to seize goods
of Northern men and other piratical acts
and recommended retaliatory measures
against all the .States who will not turn
sigger catchers, but the Union sentiment
is strong there and will eventually put
down rebellion. The be-4 evidence of the
folly of even talking of seceding can be
instanced by a few facts relating to South
Carolina, in which State the most is said
of going to war with the north. By the
late census the free white persons of one
district are set down at 1,950, the colored '•
population in the same district 12,094: the
whites forming only one sixth of the num
ber colored, upward of 12,000 of whom
arc slaves. In Lower All-saints district
the disproportion appears to be still more
marked; for instance, in a population of
4,831, only 220 are free persons, 119 of
whom are males, lhis would give an aver
age of rather more than 38 slaves to each
white male in that district. The grand to
tal of slave population in the above dis
tricts is 10,605; of free persons, 3,195. ;
Here we have a population of which less i
i one sixth are white persons, and the ;
remaining five sixths slaves. It is singu- ■
lar that this ever restless State can't see
tuo weakness of her folly and the folly of'
her weakness !
The Tariff' Question,
'I he Clinton Democrat, which like the I
I.ewistown Democrat, was one of the pa
pers that last winter proposed to credit all 1
good laws that might be passed by the Leg- !
is la t ure of this State to the then democrat
ic Senate, and all bad ones to the House, i
which was composed of a majority of the
People's Paity, has a characteristic article
on the tariff in which it asserts that if Mr.
llale will offer to re-enact the tariff of 1846, ,
with an amendment increasing the duties !
on iron and coal, " there is no doubt but it
will be accepted and enacted at once." It
then goes on to say
"But we doubt Mr Hale's sincerity on this
subject, as we do that of all other politicians i
who are continually harping about it with- I
out offering practical remedies. The politi
cians want the subject for a hobby, and that
is all any of them care about it. They
would not settle the question if they could,
so long as it will yield thoin political capital."
Judge Hale is hardly a politician in the
sense spoken of, and if on his vote ar.d
exertions will depend the enactment of a
sound tariff the Clinton Democrat can rest i
easy. By the by, if that paper is interest
ed in a tariff, why not urge on the demo
cratic Senate to pass the bill which was
postponed by that body last spring? It is
entiie:y satisfactory to Pennsylvania iron '
and coal interests.
Presidential Election.
Still coming, votes for Lincoln ! New
Jersey, by the official count, elects four
Lincoln nuti three Douglas electors. This
gives Lincoln 173 votes. The pony ex
press brings news from California which
states that so far as heard from Lincoln is 1
ahead . Oregon too may have gone for him
Mr. Breckinridge has, or will have, 72
electoral votes, being those of eleven slave
hoiding States. Mr. Bell has o!) votes,
given by \ irginia, Tennessee and Ken
tucky. lie having carried his own State and
Mr. Ineekiuiuige s. ihe decision of Mis
souri is unknown. Electoral votes sure
for Mr. Douglas—three from New Jersey.
He may get nine more from Missouri, and
three from Oregon.
Murder and Suicide.—A few .'ays ago, at

B@k.Xuthing can better exemplify the ille- :
gality and injustice of the new-fangled south- |
ern democratic doctrine of secession than the j
case of Florida. That country was purchas ;
ed with the common funds of the United ■
States, large sums have been spent in fortifi- j
cations and military equipments, and the
subjection of a few Indians cost vast sums of '
money, and no little blood—the aggregate
cost being probably one hundred millions of;
dollars—yet this petty State with less inhabi
tants than some northern counties, under the j
guidance of its mousing politicians, talks !
of the right of seceding and taking ail this }
common public property.

B€BThe receipts of wheat, at Chicago, show
an excess of 6,140,000 bushels over those of
last year; which, at a moderate estimate, gives
t> the West 87,000.0(lu more ■ •
its wheat crop than iccci-cu in icon.
The amount of corn received is sta.ed at 14,-
945,891 bushels, against 4,793,615 for 1859.
The Post Office in South Carolina. —The
postage collected in tbe State of South Caro

of transporting the mails throughout the State
was $192,216. In Massachusetts the same
year the post office receipts were $532,184,
and the expenses $153 091 !
Negro Vote in Ohio.
Among the lute lies circulated by Lo
cofoco editors and orators, is one which
was repeated in New York by llerschel
V. Johnson, Douglas candidate for the
Vice Presidency, and re-echoed by the i
Lewistown Democrat and other papers, to
the effect that the Republicans carried the
State ot Ohio, at the October election, by
means of the Negro vote! that If,ooo ne- j
groes voted their ticket!! Now let us sec
what the facts are. From the Cincinnati
Gazette we learn that the colored popula
tion of Ohio numbers, all told, 24,37'J; of
these, 12,091 are males, and of the males
t
there are only 5,872 over 21 years of age.
The Gazette then goes on to say :
"By the Constitution of Ohio, none but
i chite males over twenty one can vote ; but
' the Supreme Court deeided that a less than
half blood, was white ; consequently, if the
| judges of elections should decide that a light
: colored mulatto was less than half, they
j might admit him to vote. Now the number ;
; of this class is not one-third of the whole
amount, and of the 5,827 colored males over
'■ 21, riot more than 2,0U0 could possibly come
: within a legal right to vote. Judge Brinker-
I hofl"s clear majority of the entire vote was
' 13,004. If, then, every colored man in Ohio
| had voted the Republican ticket, the Judge
| would still have had 8,000 white majority be
yond that; and if every one voted for him,
who had a right, he would have had 11,000
! majority. But, so far from this, we challenge
; all the inspectors of elections in Ohio to show
j that three hundred colored men actually voted
| at all; or, that two hundred voted the Repub
i lican ticket. When we state that half the
j colored population of Ohio are in the coun
! ties of Hamilton, Ross, Franklin, Pike, Fair
j field and Gallia, and one or two others, where
j a negro voting would subject him to being
j mobbed, it will be seen what an incredible
I amount of either ignorance or lying is involv
| ed in Mr. Johnson's statement."
Jlutaj/ur the Xinetcenlh Time —A Wes
tern Missouri contemporary tells the follow
ing:—On Tuesday last news came to this
city that a man was seen hanging between
Independence and Maxwell's Landing.—
Tne Coroner was promptly notified of the
fact, and he, in the discharge of his duty,
as promptly repaired to the scene; but to
his surprise, found the man alive, kicking,
and walking about as other men do, with
no rope around his neck —where the rope
ought to be. lie (the Coroner) made some
inquiries about the man, and the old wom
an —that is Mrs. Elliott, the wife of the
hung man —replied that he was down, but
not dead, and further remarked that it was
about the nineteenth time he had attempt
ed to hang himself, and had not yet sue
ceeded, but she'd be tctotally darn'd if he
mightn't hang the next time until he was
good dead—that she would never cut the
rope again to let him breathe easy. We un
derstand that Elliott is in the habit of hang
ing himself every time he has a family jar,
and although he has made so many at
tempts, has never yet got without sight of
the house, where his wife would not fail to
cut him down before his wind shortened.
Holloway's Fills— Unnecessary Torture.
Palpitation of the Heart. —The bloc-ding, blistering, I
salivating and'torturing method of the modern treat- i
ment of disease tends to the destruction rather than !
the preservation of human life. Physicians have a I
certain routine prescribed for their "roohto operandi j
from which there is no departure; the laws of the j
Modes and Persians were not more immutable than j
the dicta of this Draconian Code that confines men to !
peculiar dogmas on penalty of exeision. I'ntrainel- j
ed by particular rules, Holloway's svsteni on the con- ;
trary is based on the simple laws or nature. Palnita- |
tion is often the effect of indigestion, disorders of the j
stomach or nervous affections. By their action 011 |
the stomach and nerves the I'ills remove the cause 1
and effect a radical cure. I
Reduced by Dyspepsia to a mere skeleton.
Cured by lio e/one's Holland Bitt< 1 s.—Mr. A. Matchct. :
a trader, probably as well known as any man in West- |
• rn Pennsylvania, states as follows I met with a i
farmer in Armstrong eou'nty who was reduced by
dyspepsia to a mere" skeleton. 1 persuaded him to {
buy a Isittle of Boer have's Holland Bitters, believing I
it would cure him. Meeting him some months after, j
what was rny astonishment at tiuding him a hale, j
hearty man ; he told me he now weighed 200 pounds,
and that this wonderful change had been produced j
by Boerhave's Holland Bitters, to which he attributed j
solely ins restoration.'

Coughs and Colds! Coughs and Colds!
Seasonable A'leice. —J.et no one neglect a cough or
slight cold. Thousands, doing so, have had one cold
added to another, until the nun-oils membrane,lini 11"
the air passages, lias become excessively irritated, ami
even permanently thickened, and soon chronic cough,
chronic pheumouin, and consumption successively
gallop along. The laist time to cure all this is when
it b gins. If you art so fortunate as to possess a ease
of Humphrey s Specific Homeopathic Remedies, and
if y->u do not, you ought to at once take a Cough Pill, j
and then two er three pills per day, with care as to re
newed exposure, will bring you all right in a day or ;
two.
If your cold has got further along, then more care !
ami more patience is necessary for a cure, though it I
lies in the same direction. Our advice is to keep the j
feet warm, the head cool, and take Humphrey's Ho
meopathic Cough Pills.

Fire and Thief Proof Chests.
The manufacture and sale of fire and thief
proof chests has become a business of im
mense magnitude; and although confined
chiefly to one leading house in Philadelphia,
safes of Philadelphia manufacture are now
found in every part of the country. The
great amount of security which is realized at
so trifling a cost makes it a matter of imme
diate interest to every prudent business man.
A certain degree of security can be bad by
insurance, but the best insurance policy is
imperfect where the books and valuable pa
pers are at the mercy of the devouring ele
inent; and this tact is so generally understood
that no man who makes any pretensions to
being a careful business man can afford to bo
without a proof safe, and heuce the groat ex
tent of this department of manufacture. It
may be objected that some "careful, prudent
men" will not rink the purchase ofa so called
safe which in the hour of trial must prove
itself to be a cheat—an imposition and fraud
upon the purchaser. And the objection
comes with considerable force since irrespon
sible parties are engaged in the manufacture
of them. Every reputable business attracts
impostors, and the manufacture of safes is
not an exception. Parties even from other
cities have been attracted to Philadelphia by
the well earned reputation of safes manufac
tured there, and to a certain extent have
brought the business into discredit. But the
men who purchase from a house long and
; well established, whose safes have stood the
I test of time and whose integrity commands S
! the confidence of the business community,
j can run no risk. And it may not be out of,
I place here to say that Messrs. EVANS A: WAT- ;
I SON are without a rival in this department of j
trade. Their sale rooms at No. 304, Chest- :
nut street, always contain a large stock suit
ied in styles and prices to every demand.— |
fheir safes have, wherever tested, added to I
their well earned reputation, and whatever '
may be said of other manufactures, certain it |
i is that Evans & Watson's safes are what they ]
| purport to be, and he who seeks security wiil j
not find it for a less price elsewhere.— From ■
