The Bails of the Democratic Party.
The conviction is spreading among the ean
did and intelligent, says the Bostoryost, tittit
in the Democratic party alone are t 6 be found
combined, in safe, regular, and legitimate po
liticalaction, the tworgreat principles of sta
bility and progress; of conservation and sa
-1 form; of abiding by what should be abided by,
just as it is, and, leavingbehind the dead of
the past; of marching boldly on to the field of
new triumphs for the future. What the Dem
ocratic party now clings to, even as the mari
ner in the storm clings to the compass, is the
CONSTITUTION; what it is more than any
thing else resolved to live np to, is its wise
provisions, which it regards as the promise of
a continuance of the awards between &lite and
State, and citizen and citizen, of Jusiuz;
within each. State, of domestic tranquility; for
each State, of a common defence ; and by each
State, of a promotion of its general welfare,
and the security of whatever blessings there
are in store for ourselves and our posterity.
The Democratic party sees is such a public
FAITH, perpetuity to our institutions. It comes
forward with no plans of aggression on this
magnificent work of the fathers; but standing
on this basis, in imitation of the bold patriots
of 1776, and in the spirit of Young America,
it will obey the great unwritten law of mani
fest destiny, and carry our country upward
over the tallest peaks of error, and onward to
plant American institutions wherever Provi
dence may seem to point as a duty and a ne
cessity. Here is the Democratic Platform
that makes it at once a conservative and NA
TIONAL party, and a party of PROGRESS.
It is because the Democracy take the ground
of according to each State its RIGHTS, under
this CONSTITUTION ; because it is in favor of
keeping public faith in the agreements which
bind together the States in the common bond
of country, that its libellers term it a pro
slavery party ; and in this way they are at
tempting to prejudice the public mind against
its organization. It behooves all good citizens
to re-examine this subject. Indeed, good cit
izens are called upon by every consideration
connected with country to do this, and then
to say what party best fufils the conditions of
the two great and necessary principles of CON
SERVATISM and REFORM.
We add to these remarks a letter contain
ing reasons for the results to which a distin_
guished member of the late Whig party has
arrived. On the Ist inst., the two sections of
the Democratic party in the senatorial district
in New York, composed of Albany and Sche
nectady counties, met in joint convention at
Albany, and nominated Jolla K. PORTER,
Esq., for the State Senate. He is represented
as a man of great personal worth, of natural
ability of a high order, of thorough cultiva
tion, a rising man, and a lawyer of the first
standing. His letter accepting the nomi
nation, speaks for itself. In it he casts his
lot with the Democratic party, and gives his
reasons for doing it. We commend this brief
but comprehensive letter, to every citizen who
is in search of a party that wisely combines a
union of the two principles above alluded to:
GENTLEMEN:—Your communication inform
ing me of my unanimous selection by both the
democratic conventions as their candidate for
the office of state senator, imposes the duty of
either accepting a nomination which I have
neither sought nor expected, or of rejecting a
most gratifying expression of their confidence
and regard. 1 feel, in common with you, a
deep interest in the political issues involved
in the present election. The events of the
last few years have impressed me with a strong
conviction that the ascendancy of the Demo
cratic party will best promote the permanent
interests and prosperity of the state as well as
the nation, and will furnish the surest guar
anty for the maintenance of republican princi
ples and constitutional rights. I see that the
party with which I was formerly associated
has been openly disbanded by the concurrent
action of the two conventions at Syracuse,
held on the 26th ult. This result has taken
no one by surprise, but is the result of efforts
steadily made to produce it by the professed
leaders of the party since the death of Henry
Clay. By the termination of its existence as
a state and national organization, those of its
members who regard ,the democratic party
as the safest guardians of our public rights
and interests, are absolved from their former
political relations.
The democracy of New York, in my judg
ment, occupy the true political platform.—
While they are opposed to any political action
fur the extension of slavery, they meditate no
aggression upon the constitutional rights of
the south, and will submit to none but their
own. They abide by the compact of the fed
eral and state constitutions, and oppose a firm
resistance to the extreme opinions engendered
by occasional popular excitement, and leading
to encroachments upon public and private
rights secured alike to citizens and states by
the supreme law of the land. That in the con
flict of parties, democracy will regain its as
cendancy, and these principles finally prevail,
can hardly admit of doubt. We are too near
the era of the men of the revolution, we have
been so prosperous under the system of govern
ment they framed, to be prepared at once to
discard the federal constitution, and enter up
on a career of sectional, aggre7' .---- - 4 deall .

feel too deep a sense of the importance of their
own constitutional guaranties, to consent to
'Mike them the subject of arbitrary legislative
invasion. The combinations of the hour may
possibly retard, but they cannot prevent the
triumph of democratic principles.
If, in the approaching contest, you think
my acceptance of the proposed nomination
may in any way tend to advance the common
cause, I do not feel at liberty to decline it,
though personal considerations would have in
duced me to prefer the selection of another
candidate.
Permit me to return my acknowledgments
to the conventions you represent for this sig

the kind terms in which the request is com

A Distpute Settled
Our readers will recollect that Governor Pol
lock immediately after his inauguration, ap
pointed Gen. Power, of Beaver county, Adju
tant General of the State, in place of General
Bowman, of Bedford, who held the office under
a commission from Gov. Bigler. The latter
declined to surrender the office, on the ground
that his appointment under the law was for
three years, and that his term would not tx
pire untill August, 1856. The matter was
referred to the Supreme Court, and that body
has decided that Gen. Bowman is entitled to
exercise the duties of the office for the full term
of three years from the date of his commission;
and can only be removed before the expira
tion of his term for good and sufficient cause.
They also decided that inasmuch as General
Bowman had neglected to file his bond until
the commencement of these proceedings, he
was not legally entitled to any pay for the
time he failed to do so.
This important question being now settled
by the highest judicial authority, the whole
commonwealth and "the rest of mankind"
will breathe " freer and deeper,"

ORCANIZING.—The Democratic Standing

has:not fol. years been infected by a set of die
organizers Of the worst character. We have
carefully observedthat, during the recentcan-
Yeas, nearly every co. had a,little politician like,
Smear., who had crawled into plaee only to betray
those who - placed him there, tind who finally
landed in the ranks of Fusion. The great
danger to be apprehended, (to employ the
striking suggestion of the Pittsburg Daily
Union,) from these men is that they may at
tempt to obtain standing in the future opera
tions of the party, and thas to renew the dis
affection which has marked their course for
years past. As to the leaders whom we have
already named in these columns since the
election, and whose distinctive treason has
been condemned from one end of the State to
the other by the Democratic press, they have
so effectually removed themselves from our
ranks that they have even been accepted as
the marshals of the opposition; we shall have
no more trouble with them. Now as to the
subordinate rank of intriguers—the captains
and lieutenants of the Know-Nothing Lodges
who have succeeded to command, only because
they have been successful betrayers of their
former party—as to these men, we leave them
to our true friends throughout the State, and
have no doubt they will be properly dealt
with.
It will be remembered that when Governor
BIGLEa was travelling through the interior of
the State, while a candidate for re-election, he
was accompanied by a number of gentlemen
who manifested the utmost zeal in his behalf,
providing conveyances for him from town to
town, and encouraging him with all sorts of
good tidings ; and yet, when the day of elec
tion was over, it was discovered that these
men were among his sworn and active ene
mies. In the county of Susquehanna they
even went so far as to preside at BIGLER'S
meetings, to offer resolutions in favor of Gov
ernor BIGLER, and to applaud Democratic
speakers ; and by this dishonorable expedient
they continued to hide the plot which they
had concocted to destroy our estimable and
and able candidate. In some instances they
managed to cheat themselves through Demo
cratic Conventions, and to obtain positions
on the Democratic ticket, and to be elected
too, as the proceedings of the last Legislature
have shown. Some obtained possession of
Democratic papers and poured through servile
and purchased columns insidious calumnies
upon Democratic principles. Some were so
captivated by the idea that the Democratic
party had gone down forever, that they were
ready to go into the Republican ranks. We
say to our political friends, in the respective
counties of the State : " Let these men be
carefully watched ; they have deliberately
counted the cost of their new associations,'and
they must abide the issue:' We believe that
throughout the length and breadth of Penn
sylvania, they are well understood, and there
fore we are saved the trouble of presenting
them in detail and by name to our readers.
The next effort of the Abolitionists and their
Know-Nothing confederates, will be to furce
these men into future Democratic County and
State Conventions, so that they may be able,
if possible, to re-enact some of the scenes
which have excited the Democratic party in
past years, and which have been inaugurated
and carried on solely by such intriguing par
tizans as these. Let all such be vigilantly
observed.
Do not be misled by their noisy opposition
to men who have been among the bold and
true during the last two trying years. It is
only the yell of the catiff who still feels the
lash inflicted in punishment of his offences.—
Some will attempt to obtain admission into the
party by professions of false penitence.
These, too, should he tried by their
former • conduct impartially and fear
lessly. We feel that in all this we are
speaking the sentiments of the Democratic
masses of the State, and of a people betrayed
in 1854, and victorious in 1855. We feel that
not to speak out at such a time as this would
be to be a party to the miserable policy of tryng
to coax back into our ranks the men whose se
cret treachery has mad2i.hein_infamons.•
The Presidency.
The Columbus (Georgia) Times t' Sentinel
is out in a leading article in favor of Mr. Br
cRANAY for the next Presidency. After no
ticing a letter from a correspondent, recom
mending the Hon. HENRY A. WISE, of Vir
ginia, for the office, the editor remarks :
"The controlling question will be the pow
er of Congress over slavery in the Territories;
the one side claiming for Congress the power
to restrict slavery by refusing to admit any
more slave States into the Union, and the oth
er side denying to Congress all power over
the subject. If these views are correct, OthF - r
--- ''.tfiffttiflA° + . l "-"Wik.tniues views on thep.
auelpina Platform ought to govern.. trio_ . utn
in the selection of a candidate for President of
the United. States. We would not, of course,
con sat to the nomination of a Know-Nothing
for that high office; such a politician has ex
hibited too little respect for the rights of man
to be entrusted with the powers of a chief ex
ecutive of this great people. In com
parison, however, with a man's position on the
slavery question, his vi s upon the subject of
the naturalization law and a religious.test are
of a very little moment ' this great struggle
between the North and the South. In select
ing, therefore, a candidate for the Presidency,
the South ought to be mainly influenced by
his capacity to unite the South and bring
Northern support to the cause of the South
and the constitution.
In this respect, there are several Northern
statesmen who occupy a more commanding
position than Henry A. Wise. Foremost in
this noble band of patriots stands James Bu
chanan, of Pennsylvania. The recent glori
ous victory, in the Keystone State, of the De
mocracy over the 'infamous Fusion party,
which is hereafter to be our greatest enemy,
gives to her gallant people the right to be con
sulted in the selection of the next President,
and we are quite sure that our Minister to
Great Britain is their first choice. He is a
statesman of large experience, profound
knowledge, incorruptible integrity, and has
always been foremost in the defence of the
constitutional rights of the South. His ab
sence from the country has placed him out of
the reach of the local prejudices which have
gown up in various Northern localities with
in the last two years, and the various factions
of the Democratic party could be more readily
united upon him than upon any other prom
inent statesman whose name has been sugges
ted in connection with the Presidency. At the
the South, he would probably be acceptable
to all parties. Though opposed to Know-
Nothingism, he was prevented, by his posi,
tion, from mingling in the strife, and would
gain free access to the hearts of our people, as
there would be no bitter party prejudices to
bar the door.
1361 r THE RAILROAD CASES were_ argued in
the Court House, in this City, on Friday last,
before Judge Haines, of Chester, Judge Pearson,
of Dauphin, and John Evans, Esq., of York—
Arbitrators agreed upon in the case of Hudson
and Wilson vs. the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
The trial grew out of the accidents which hap
pened a few months ago on the Road, by which
Messrs. Hudson and Wilson lost their lives,
and the suits were brought by the relatives of
these men to recover damages.
On Saturday an award was made in the
Wilson case in favor of the Plaintiffs of $4500.
The Hudson Case is held under advisment.

The Democracy and the National 'Whigs.
The following article from the Washington
"Union, of the 17th, is so just in its commenda
tion of the conduct of the gallant men, here
tofore opposed to the Democratic patty, who.
at the late election in this and other States,
supported the Democratic ticket on Constitu
tional grounds, that we have great pleasure
in giving it to our readers. The eloquent ap
peal of the Union to the Democratic party, in
view of the generous and devoted assistance
thus rendered to a good cause, by our former
opponents, will strike a sympathetic chord in J.
every Democratic heart. The article of the
Union is so well-considered and well-timed,
and so worthy of the organ of the Democracy
of the country that we hope to see its sugges- a
tions acted upon. If they are, the result can
not fail to be most salutary :
ADHERENCE TO THE PRINCIPLES AND USAGES OF
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
As might be - expected, those papers that
formerly represented the Whig party, and
have since become identified with the new
fangled Abolition and Know-Nothing opposi
tion, have opened their batteries upon the na
tional Whigs who have supported the Demo
cratic party in consequence of the recent fu
sion. It is evident that these gallant men
have committed a mortal offence, and that
henceforth the party marshalled by Mr. Sew
ard in the North will be compelled to rely for
its strength upon the anti-slavery and proscrip
tive elements alone. The fact that there are
only two great parties in existence in the free
States has been unmistakable by the result in
Pennsylvania and by the elections which pre
ceded that result—the one consisting of the
enemies of the compromise measures of 1850,
including the fugitive-slave law, and the ene
mies of the great principle involved in the
proposition of admitting new States on an
equality with the old ; the other consisting of
the Democratic party, standing upon the• Bal
timore platform, and committed by that plat
form in favor of the principles of the compro
mise measures of 1800, and, as a consequence,
in favor of the fugitive-law and the equality
of the States, as well those now in the Union
as those which shall hereafter apply for ad
mission into the Union according to the pro
visions of the federal constitution. As to the
heresy of restoring the Missouri-Compromise
line, that has already shown itself to be so im
practicable and absurd that. the New York
Tribune has formally proclaimed to its adher
ents an abandonment of that issue ; and now
we are called to meet the exigencies of the fu
ture upon the distinct principle last stated in
the above proposition.
What coure could the friends of Clay and
Webster have pursued other than that which
inspired their action at the recent election in
Pennsylvania and in other free States? The
machinery of the Whig party had been usur
ped by a set of new leaders on the one hand,
and by a set of abolition leaders on the other.
And this usurpation was accompanigt by the
proclamation of doctrines which, while they
had the effect of rallying under the flag of op
position to the Democratic party all the isms
of the day, boldly repelled from their standard
every man who pretended to have any affec
tion for the guarantees of the federal compact.
It is true that Mr. Seward, blindly calculating
upon the acquiescence in past days of the
Whig party, relied confidently upon their sup
port in the new movement inaugurated under
his auspices, and those of his know-nothing
confederates. And it is no less clear that the
recent accession of know-nothingism to the
ranks of the abolition party'in the North fur
nished also new leaders, who in their turn be
lieved that they would be accepted and en
dorsed as among the managers of the fusion.
But the tints has come when the great truths
enunciated by Clay and Webster are most ef
fectively to operate upon the sincere friends of
those statesmen. They could not resist the
consistency and the courage of the Democrat
ic party of the free Stales in supporting na
tional principles. They saw that party refus
ing all compromises with the enemies of such
principles. They saw. the men who had
thrown themselves into the Free Soil ranks,
under the delusive idea that they could still
retain membership in the Democratic party,
finally assuming positions in the ranks of the
fusion as the only way to carry out their pur
poses. They saw more than this : They saw
in the great Stato of Pennsylvania, as well as
in the State of Maine, that these men were
formally repudiated by the Democracy, and
regarded as alike odious with the old and
avowed enemies of that organization. Be
sides, in turning their eyes to the condition of
parties in the Southern States, they observed
in that quarter of the Union such former lead
ers of the Whig party as Toombs and Ste
phens, of Georgia ; as Dixon and James B.
Clay, of Kentucky; as Kerr, of North Caro-
line; as Benjamin, Rost, and Landry, of Lou
isiana ; as Reverdy Johnson and Thomas
Yates Walsh, of Maryland ; as Senator Jones
and N. H. Allen, of Tennessee • and many
others who could be named, boldly repudia
ting the new party because its northern wing
had been totally eclipsed by the dark cloud
of Abolitionism.
But there were other aspects that presented
themselves startingly to the national Whigs
of the North. The Know-Nothing order, in
its great council at Philadelphia, flushed with
the prospect of coming triumphs by the aid of
the new element of abolition, and exulting Over
recent successes, declared that they could do
without either of the old parties, and that
they were resolved to break them down.—
There was, then, but one other nasty-left; .na.
>M49:11 4 -1 . ry of that party it

menfs,,
and ready to resist all the enemies of those re
quirements, its achievements during the last
year may be counted as among the most bril
liant evidences of its fearless orthodoxy. Had
the National Whigs refused to be governed by
this proud example, then, indeed, would they
Ate been unworthy of their name. While,
therefore, it is not surprising to us that Mr.
Seward and his organs should, for their own
purposes, deem it necessary to excommunicate
these tried and patriotic citizens, the course
of the Democratic party in the future is, to
our minds, perfectly clear.
There is nothing upon which the Democrat
ic party of the Union is more firmly establish
ed than upon its usages; excepting only the
basis of its eternal principles. In the contest
of 1856 there will be regular democratic nom
inees for President and Vice President, which
nomineeawill stand alike upon the usages and
principles of the Democratic party. The Con
vention to select those candidates will becom-
posed of delegates chosen from every Congres
sional District in the Union, chosen by the
friends of the Federal Constitution. On the
other hand, the candidate opposed to that
nominee will be the candidate of the Fusion,
North and South, if, indeed, the unredeemed
Abolitionism of the opposition in the North
will not consolidate the entire South upon the
Democratic candidates, whosoever they may
be, or compel the Southern Know-Nothings to
put up a candidate of their own. The para
mount issue in that contest is distinctly indi
cated by the exclusively sectional character of
the platform on which the opposition to the
Democratic party has openly placed itself.
That issue will, no doubt, be definitely re
cognized in the organization of the two hous
es of Congress ; and this organization, we
have no doubt, will find the democratic party,
with its candidates nominated in the Demo-
cratic caucus, formally in the field. The same
principle which has animated the Democracy
in the several States, in placing candidates in
nomination deserving of the support of all con•
stitutional men, of whatever party, will, doubt
less, be observed- in the organization of the
two houses of Congress ; and there, as in the
South, the Democracy will disdain all com
plications and all combinations with every
Know-Nothingism and every abolition faction
throughout the country.
Such we conceive to be the position of the
Democratic party at the present time with re
ference to future events. If ever before the
liberal and enlightened policy of that party
has invited into its ranks all right-minded cit
izens, this is the case at present. We are
glad to know that in the different States our
political friends have cordially taken by the
hand all men who are ready to come into
their organization upon a'aound hational plat
form, and in many instances have not hesita
ted to throw their votes for Whigs who have
become candidates for office, and who frankly
avowed themselves in favor of the doctrines of
the Constitution in regard to the.pending par
amount issues of the day. In the future of
the Democratic party we do not doubt that
this policy will be maintained, and that the
confidence and the concert which hav,e:dietixt
guished the recent patriotic priiceedings of the
National Whigs will be gene • reciproca-

says:—The board are impressed with
the i portance of the institution to the com
mon nterests of our country. Its practical
working has been displayed in training a large
number of men for the public service, who
havelshovved the result of their training in
their skill and bravery as officers of the line
andtaff on the battle fields of Mexico, and in
the ofessions and employments of civil life,
F i .
The kilitarian character of this institution ,
and the importance of fostering, improving
and even extending its benefits to a greater
number than have enjoyed them heretofore,
is notlonger a question.
THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.—We learn from
'the St. Louis News that preparations are ma
king ,for the opening of the Pacific Railroad
to Jefferson City. It, is understood that the

CorroN FACTORIES IN GEORGIA.—There are
said to be now, in the State of Georgia, be
tween fifty and sixty cotton factories in suc
cessful operation and conducted with great
skill, l possessing all the appliances in the way
of machinery which can be found in similar
establishments in Newt England.
This is comparatively a new enterprise in
the South, and looks as though the cotton
planters were disposed to carry oat some of
their former threats, in reference to manufac
turing their own cloth, and being less depen
dent ton the North. t

FIRE.—On Friday night, between 11 and 12
o'clock, a fire broke out in a frame building
used as a carpenter shop, belonging to Henry
Hines, back of the Sun Hose House, in Vine
street, and adjoining the German Lutheran
Church, which destroyed the building and its
entire contents, and did some damage to the
windows of the Hose House and the 'Church.
It is supposed to he the work of an incendia

in great torment until next morning, when
death relieved her from her sufferings.
Late Foreign News
By the arrival, at Halifax, of the steamship
Africa, on Wednesday, we have news from
Europe, one week later. Perekop had been
..reatened by the allied forces, hut their ad
vance is checked for the present. A French
force is gathering on the Danube. A fleet of
the allied vessels is before Odessa, preparing
to commence- an immediate bombardment.—
Ten thousand men are employed in making a
road from Balaklava to the allied camp at Se
bastopol. A British fleet has been sent to
Naples. During the three weeks preceding
the fall of Sebastopol, the Russian losses were
over 32,000 men, exclusive of deaths by dis
ease. A battle has been fought in Asia by
the Russians, under Mouravieff, and the
Turks, under Ali Pasha, in which the latter
himself was taken prisOner, and had 300 men
killed. It seems to have been a cavalry fight.
Kars still held out, but the garrison was re
duced to great extremity, and Oniar Facia
was advancing from Batoum to attempt to
raise the siege. At Sweaborg the Russians
were actively repairing the fortifications.—
Nineteen Russian merchant vessels have heed
captured off the coast of Finland, and ten
moreburnedAt the mouth of the Sulis. An
alliance between Prince Napoleon and the
Prinsi,Xiciiik'nf England, is rumored. It
is' ainiounceitGhat the Danish government has
invited all the maritime powers, including the
.Ikiieotatdes_ to meet in Congress, at Copen
hagen, to settle the Sound Dues. In Greece
the ministry have resigned, and a new cabinet
has been formed.
When Rogne■ Fall Out, &c
The Editor of the Lehigh Valley Times,
himself a Know-Nothing, thus "pitches in" to
the Sachems of the Secret Order:
The Know-Nothing order, although its prin
ciples are good, was managed inTenns'ylvania
by as corrupt a set of men as ever blackened
political history, and under such leaders, a tri
umph would be even more surprising than a
defeat. The very first act of importance after
the Know-Nothing State Organization was ef
fected last year, was the disgraceful Mott fraud
upon the honest and unsuspecting voters of the
order. The leaders, we mean the State Coun
cil , Wire-workers, through the most worthy
Grand High Falsifier, of the Records, (the REV
EREND 0. H. Tiffany ) falsely certified that
Henry S. Mott was a member of the order in
good standing, and at the same time knowing
that it was a deliberate lie and an infamous
fraud: Still the fraud answered the purpose
of these fellows, which was to put one Demc
crat on the Know Nothing ticket with which
to catch Democratic votes enough to elect
James Pollock Governor. Such an infamous
ael as this, by the leaders, was enough to dis
gust every right minded man, and the great
est surprise is that every American who has a
spark of self-iespect did not instantly repudi
ate these leaders. The State Council of Dele
gates did not even make any fuss about it, but
hushed up the trick as well as they could.—
It was an awful dose for many good men, who
from pure motives joined the Know-Nothings,
to swallow; but every prominent leader in the
order, it appears, felt disposed to consider . the
matter as of no great consequence, and the few
who openly denounced the fraud, were prompt
ly cried down as disorganizers or traitors.
THE MISSING 2ERONAUT.—The Cincinnati
Times says that on the 3d inst., a number of
persona in that city plainly saw a balloon in
the air, which, by a powerful glass, was dis
covered to be a wreck, and infers that it may
have been the balloon of the missing zeronaut,
Winchester, who made an ascension at Nor
walk, Ohio, on the 2d inst., and has not since
been heard of. The mystery involving his
fate has excited a wide spread interest and
curiosity, which possibly may never be satis
fied. The most plausible explanation is that
lie probably fell into Lake Erie, over which
re was last seen, and that his balloon after
wards wandered uncontrolled through space
till its gas was expended.
GREAT PIGEON SIIOOTING.—The great shoot
ing match for ten thousand dollars a side, be
tween Mr. King, of Georgia, and Mr. Duncan,
of Louisville, was decided in Cincinnati, on
Monday week, Mr. Duncan winning the
match by one bird. This has been, probably,
the closest contest in the world, in the way of
pigeon shooting, where so great a number of
birds have been shot at. King hit 129, mis
sed 21; Dimcan hit 130, missed 20. Each
had 75, shots with a double barrelled gun.—
Slr. King's. second finger of the right hand
was petty badly injured by the recoil of his

MR. EDITOR :jf ;41sploosa to observe in your
last issue a notice of Dr. C. C. Schieferdeekees
work on "Water Curd for Childien." Your friend,
in presenting that book, has not bestowed a gift of
slight value, as a peiusal of iti, has convinced you;
and the use of its instructions id your family will, J.
doubt not, make you las ardent an admirer of Hy
dropathy es is your humble correspondent. Indeed,
could that little volitme be liversally circulated
and read, and its principles ado' ted, our race would

Let me tell you viiiet_a debt if gratitude I owe—
next Heaven—its talented intuit Lhad been an ice, ;
valid for years, and areanticipmet of very early death,
when I went, a few months since, to his Establish
ment—situated in Cbesnut atjet, Philadelphia—
sometimes faintly hoping, yet starcely'daring, to be
partially relieved of pain and
bility, and some
times fearing — from my ignorance of the mode of
treatment—that its aPplioatio4might result in the
speedy termination of pre. ji
But oh ! what an igreeablehdisappointinent has
been that of mine an my fridads--one difficult to
realize! Can you b
. lieve, .111'd. Editor, that the
healthful blood again courses in the once clogged
veins—that the once dulled eye now sparkles with
renewed life—and the feet and limbs ' once deemed
almost useless appendages to a liserable body, now
traverse miles, and Compete tith the swiftest in
their powers of locomotion ?
How, I can flee the ; brick w is and stone.pave
ments of man's labor; and, imitead, feast my eyes
on Autumn's goldenglories, and inhale the exhilar
ating air of the county that 0.34 made. And when
stern old ,Winter has gone, and the light-footed
Spring returns, with h'er oalmy breezes to clothe the
earth in smiles, and verdure arid beauty, I can go
and pluck the sweet wild flowerepf the wood, or with
the glad birds, tune my voice in. , grateful thank-of
ferings to the "Giver of every gelid and perfect gift."
Your readers will pardon mein bringing myself
forward in this little communication, because, in do
ing so, I have endeavored to prove that there is a..
panacea for the nine that flesh 14 heir to," as well as
to inform them where it may belfound.
As to Dr. S., much ;could be said in regard to his
skill and scientific knqwledge'

him I forbear, fearing
notice. this article may come , under
however, might be allowed me ere, and that too,
