The battle has been fought; the victory won ; and we now must carry out the great principles we contended for in tho canvass. Our opponents charged us with misrepresentations, and false prom' ises, but they will find we were in earnest, when we cried " Homes for the Homeless.'' " Protection to labor."

Come then every AVide Awake in Centre Co., and renew your devotion to these great principles on YVcdneday Evening Jan., 30.

Will you do it? BSP" Tbo election of delegates to the Al abama Slate convention has lesulted in an immense majority in favor of secessslon. Treason! Treason '•! Treason!! ! The Federal officers of New York say they will not resign their offices when Mr. Lin comes into power. They assign as a reason that Mr. Lincoln is not President of the United States. A New York writer says : " Mr. Schell, the Collector, has correspon ded with Attorney-General Black. The lat ter has written to the Collector that if South Carolinia secedes it is a virtual dissolution of the Union, and that the Collector of the Port of New York and his Federal Assistants are relieved from all further accountability, and have a right to collect and retain the revenues accruing here, and keep them until the Legislature of New York or the city au thorities attach the same. " If a single Slate goes out of the Union, Mr, Schell regards it as broken up, and says, 'Mr. Lincoln is not Presidentard neither he nor any of the Federal officials will re sign or surrunder their power and the public money to any exceDt to the City Treasury. " Mr. John J. Cisco, the Sub-Treasurer takes the same views. He has several mill ions at his dispo al. A large portion is in bars of gold, valued at SI,OOO each. These are being pa nted white, so as not to attract atten ion in case of being removed from the Sub-Treasury vaults in case of a riot or of Lincoln claiminy to be the President." "In case of Mr. Lincoln claiming to be President." Ain't that cool ? Well all this proves the truth of the old adage that the " fools are not all dead yet." Mr. Lincoln claim to be President ? wby he is President without claiming anything about it. This is indeed the coolest piece of impudence ex tant. Listen to us, Mr. Collector Schell.— Mr, Lincoln was elected President of the United States on the 6tb day of November last—on the 4th day of March next he will take his seat at Washington, on the sth you will receive notice to quit your office and de liver over to your sueessor all monies and property belonging to the Government.— Should you refuse to obey you will be arres ted for high treason, tried, and we hope hung. If then you have any intention of robbing the Government do it while you have corrupt associates to connive and assist you : do it while thac debased old traitor, Jas. Buchan an, is in office ; in a word, do it before the 4ih of March, for after that time you will not have the opportunity. Who is Afraid ? The time for compromises with slavery has gone by. A majority of the people of tbis nation have elected Abraham Lincoln President, and there is now no alternative but fcr tbe minority to submit or fight. All knew Mr. Lincoln's principles before be was elected, be made no concealments, nor will he now make any. AVe pledged him, in the canvass, to carry out three great principles, and he will do what we said. He will op* pose the extension of slavery in territory now free. He will favor a Homestead Bill, and he will sign a Tariff Bill as soon as it is laid before him. There, gentlemen of the South, are the three propositions upon which we went before the people, and upon which we elected Mr! Lincoln. Pledged to their sup port we will carry them out. They are meas ures for tbe benefit and advancement of tbe people and we' will fight for them if necessa ry. Some are crying out and hauling off, but wc are standing up to the fight and wer mean to stand up to it. AVe have no com promises to make, no concessions to offer.— Those who resist him are traitors and we will hang them. If the South will submit to will of the majority it is well; we will live in peace with them. If they resist we cry defiance to them and their dough-face al lies in the North, and say " Come to, lay on Macduff, And damned be he that first cries hold, enough." The Duty of the North. The ihct stares us plainly in the face, says the llarrisburg Telegraph, that James Bu chanan, once the favorite son of Pennsylva nia, is guilty of treason in supplying the South with arms belonging to the United States. Whilst the Northern Arsenals have been almost entirely stript of public arms, we have not been able.to obtain the quota belonging to us of right. In order tc secure our rights, we hope the Legislature of Penn sylvania, which meets on Tuesday next, will at once appropriate a million of dollars for the purchase of arms to supply our regular citizen soldiers with the necessary weapons to perfect them in military discipline. We shall have no trouble to obtain the money without delay, and the Constitution gives the Legislature full power to borrow any amount for such purposes. We say, therefore, to the members of the Legislature, let such an act be passed the first week of the session.— It will strike terror in the ranks of the disu nionists of the South, and show them that the North is determined to preserve the Union one and inseperable. Gov. Cnrtin's Appointments. We are informed that Col. Curtin has mado the following appointments: Secretary of State—Eli Slifer, of Union County. Attorney Genera*— Samuel Purviance, of Butler County. Whiskey Inspector —Wm. Butler, of Mif flin County. Physician of the Port of Philadelphia —Dr. Clark, of Philadelphia. Messenger to the Governor— Samuel Miles, of Centre County. The following gentlemen will, in all prob ability, be appointed to office by the Gover nor. Adjutant General— James S. Negley, o f Pittsburg.* Western Flour Inspector —Thos. Collins, of Pittsburg. Sealer of Weights and Measures—J. D. Owens, of Pittsburg. Mark the disunionists! Every arti cle wiitten and every speech made against the Union has proceeded from a professed Democrat; nearly all of tbem from men of the Breckinridge faction. The disunion speeches fulminated in Congress during last week were every one of tbem from leading Democrats, such as Joe Lane, Clingman, Brown, lyerson and Wigfall, They rivalled each other in declarations of enmity to tha Union, and their determination not to stay within it under present circumstanoes. We state these undeniable facts, as contained in the report of Congressional proceedings Readers can form tbe;r own conclusions, THE CE3WTH.E DEIMOCRAT. Treason Consamated. We have not the unexpected news, says the Daily News, of the capture of Fort Mcul trie by the South Carolinians, and the rais ing of the Palmetto flag upon that fort, Cas tle Pinckney, the Custom House and the Charleston Post Office. This would seem to be the climax of the secession movement in South Carolina. Heretofore nothing has been done that could be considered directly treas onable against the Government of the Uni ted States. Taking possession of Government fortres ses, of the Custom House, and the Post Office at Charleston, is an overt act of war upon the Eederal authority, and is tber efore trea son. The gallant Major Anderson still holds possession of Fort Sumpter, to which he re tired yesterday, and he will doubtless main tain his position, if he receives aid from the Government at Washington. His wise de sertion of Fort Moultrie made the conpuest of that defence by the secessionists easy, Should Mr. Bucbanan fail to reinforce him promptly, and with such force of numbers as will render Major Anderson's position im pregnable, he should never be suffered to cross Mason and Dixon's line in a northern direction. Let those complicated with trea son meet the fate of traitors. If South Car olina be so dear to Buchanan that the Fed eral laws cannot be enforced within her ter ritories, let him yacate his position, go thith er, and reside among her rice plantations for the remainder of his miserable existence. One universal volcanic outburst of bitter scdrn and indignation will come, should An derson and his gallant little band besacri" ficed. No name in the long line of history will stand out in such bold relief upon the record of infamy as Buchanan's. Has not Providence imposed him upon us as an espe cial curse, at this time ? B@°" Nobody doubts that if any Free States were lor a moment to assume the position now occupied by South Carolina, she would instantly be coerced into submission to tbe Federal poweT. The stigma of treason would be irrevocably fastened upon ber name— But because South Carolina deifies the in stitution of slavery, and is ruled by a few ar ristocratic leaders, she is quietly permitted, if not directly aided, to bid open defiance to tbe Federal authority. AVhut would be rank treason in tbe mud-Btills of tbe NoTth, it is treated as justifiable spirit in tbe revolution ists of tbe South. When the people of Kan sas took tbe law into tbeir own bands, to punish the murderers and robbers who in fested them, Mr. Buchanan seDt Gen. Har ney with five hundred dragoons to put down the rebellion. Btrt when the gallant Major Anderson petitioned farm for a few more men to help defend Fort Moultrie against the trai tors of South Carolina, he stubbornly relused and bas abandoned that brave officer, with a handful of men to battle single-handed wiih tbe fanatical populace of Charleston. It is strange, with these facts before them, that the patriotic people of this country as one man rejoice over the near-approaching change in the National Administaation ? No Backing Down. It is useless and lolly to expect the Re publicans to back down from the position they have taken and carried before the peos pie h the recent great national eontest.— We have done nothing to apologise for or to repent of. Our platform is the Chicago platform, and on that we stand. Nothing more, nothing less. Wo openly and fairly laid down our principles ef political action. We went forward and elected an Adminis tration to sustain them. We aecomplisbed just what we set out to do, and having accomf plished it in a loyal and legitimate way, we are not disposed to yield one inch that will require any abandonment or sacrifice of the principles we have contended for. The Charleston Arsenal occupied by the State Troops. MILITARY PREPARATIONS, CHARLESTON, Dec 30. —The South Caroli na troops took possession of the Arsenal in this city to-day, containing many thousand stand of arms and military stores. The military preperations are actively and zealously progressing. Volunteers have tendered their aid from several of the Southern States, and among them are officers of the Army and Navy, and Wect Point graduates. Capt, S. M. Morgan, of Tennessee, has of fered his services, and been accepted. WHEATLAND. —This place, celebrated for a while, as the Mecca of the "Fouth Ward crown,'/ still stands in all its beauty, on the out-skirts of Lancaster city. It was current ly reported on Friday and Saturday that James Buchanan, the owner thereof, had been corresponded with, as to the amount of money he would sell it for. The people of Lancaster seem desirous of getting rid of the 0. P. F., and wish to do so in a quiet, civil way. If he sells Wheatland, as the people wish, it will probably stand until reduced by the decay of time. The people in the vi cinity of Wheatland it is represented, do not desire to do anything rash, that will be at all likely to cause any sympathy to be made for the bache'or President.— Daily News. A Grand Sally for the Union. After consulting with nearly all the lead ing and influential men of the County, we have concluded to issue a call for a Grand Rally of the Republicans of Centre County, on Wednesday evening of the Januarj Court. The object of the meeting is to discuss, in an impartial manner, the causes which ]ed to the crisis in our national affairs, and to ascertain who is for the Union, the Constitu tion, and the enforcement of the laws. These have been imperiled by President Buchanan, bis fire-eating advisers, and leading Demo cratic Demagogues in South Carolina, and elsewhere. We invite fccnest Democrats, and every citizen of Centre County who esteem the Constitution and the Union of greater value than allegiance to any political organization, to turn out in your strength to the meeting. The meeting will be addressed by able and eloquent champions of Liberty and Uni on. Speakers from abroad are expect^ — Come one, come all. "The Union, it must and shall be presorved."— Andrew Jackson. United Sates Senator. The question of the selection of a United States Senator from Pennsylvania, to succeed AVilliam Bigler, is receiving much attention. The- large Republican majority in our State Legislature not only ensures the election of a Republican Senator, but has also had a tendency to briDg many candidates into the field. The men whose Dames have been pre sented for the office are generally good men, well fitted to adorn that high position. But of all the candidates, tb6re is one, who, by his abilities as a Statesman, by bis powers as an orator, and by bis great services to the Republican cause, stands pre-eminent. That man is David AViimot, Many are aware, while perhaps some are not aware of the vast debt which the victorious party that has just carried Pennsylvania by ninety thousand ma jority, owes to Judge Wilmot, When the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, against the prayers and remonstrances of the united North, demoralized and destroyed the Dem ocratic party, leaving tbe opponents of sla very extension without a party name or or ganization, it was through tbe wise counsels and under the calm guidance of Judge YVil mot that order was brought out of chaos, and the friends of freedom in this Congressional District—once ihe Gibralter of Democracy, as it is now of Republicanism—were orga nized and united in one harmonious party. Susquehanna county was tbe first in the State to organize a Republican party, and in the first organization Whigs and Demo crats, in about equal numbers, united, for getting old differences and animosities, and agreeing with their conjoined strength to re sist the dangerous aggressions of the Slave Power, AVhat led tbe free-soil Democrats of this region, 60 far in advance of those in other parts of the State, to Bunder old party ties, and join in the formation of the Repub® lican party? Their principles would natu rally have ultimately led tbem to it, but by the sagacious and far-seeing counsels of Da vid AViimot, they were prompted to take tha lead and form a nucleus from which has grown the powerful and triumphant Repub lican party of Pennsylvania. We believe that without the aid of Judge Wilmot we should still have had a strong Republican party in Northern Pennsylvania ; but we are firmly convinced that bis influence brought to our organization thousanus of voters that would otherwise have been to this day array ed against us, either as part of the Democrat ic party, or of a third party. Let, then, our friends in other parts of tbe State bear in mind, while they point with pride to the great Republican majorities in Northern Pennsylvania, that these are due in no small degree to the personal influence and exer tions of David Wilmot, But we would not urge any man's claims to high office merely on account of services rendered to the party, however eminent. Judge Wilmot has other and still stronger claims to consideration. His intellect is of the highest order, clear, sagacious and prac tical. We have heard the slavery question discussed by many distinguished speakers, but we never heard any who brought to the discussion of the subject so many original ideas, so many evidences of profound thought and a statesman-like consideration of the whole question, as the author of the Wilmot Proviso. Ilis knowledge of national ques tions, his eloquence as a speaker, his bold ness in advocacy of right, and his eminent services, alike point to him as the man for the hour. Pennsylvania has made some wo ful mistakes, in days past, in the selection of men to represent her in the Senate of the- United States, but by the election of David Wilmot to that position she would do herself honor and the whole country a service. Those who advocate the claims of other candidates generally seem disposed to treat Judge Wilmot fairly, acknowledging bis great services and eminent abilities ; but a few are inclined to make old party connec tions the test of merit and the basis of ad vancement under the Republican organiza tion. Such a course would be both unwise aud unfair. The Republican party derives its strength from a union of men from all the old parties. It is composed of men having a common political faith on the great questions of the day ; and what these men formerly thought, on other, or even the same questi ons, is wholly foreign to the inquiry concern ing their fitness for office. What are they now ? Are tbey Republicans—representing fairly and with the ability to represent forci bly the principles of the party? In Judge Wilmot's case, the answer must be most em phatically in the affirmative. He is recog nized throughout the Union as one of the most eminent exponents of Republicanism. Those old fogies and eleventh hour Repub licans, who have been at last borne by the ir resistible tide of publio sentiment into our ranks, ought not now to set themselves up as the only genuine representatives of Re publican principles, and undertake to control the organization which tbey bad so little to do in forming. The leaders of the Republican movement— the men who showed the ability and courage of Dayid Wilmot in the hour of doubtful conflict —are not to be displaced by the fossil leaders of a defunct organization, so soon as the victory has been won by us. The men whose leadership kept the Whig party of Pennsylvania in a minority for a quarter of a century, are not the men to step in at this time and undertake to guide the course of the Republican party. The vital principles that underlie the Republican organization must be maintained, and any attempt to change our platform to that of the old Whig party— as some of these old fogy politicians seem desirous of doing—would, if carried out, most certainly break up the Republican par ty and reduce it to a hopeless minority. To abandon or subordinate the great and vital ideas that have .entered into our late tri umph, would entirely break us up, and re store the domination of the Slave Power up on a stronger basis than ever before. The fate which has successively, and from mainly the same causes, befallen the Whig, the American, and the Democratic party, would, assuredly and quickly, bfall the Republican. It is the coincidence of our platform with the sentiment of the Northern people against slavery extension, that has given us our strength and elected a Republican Presi dent; and when we abandon that platform, the days of the Republican party will be speedily numbered. The election of Judge WILMOT to the Sen ate would have a political sigificance that could not be mistaken or misunderstood. It would be an assurance and guarantee to tbe country that Pennsylvania had taken her po sition on the great questions at issue in the late election, deliberately, and that it would be firmly maintained. With regard to the Tariff question, we are sure that no true friend of the Republican party will make the differences of the part a ground of objection to any member of tbe party, We all agree that the revenue nec essary to meet the wants of the Government shall be raised by duties upon foreign im ports. We agree in support of a Homostead bill, thus cutting off that source of revenue. We agree that protection to our manufactu ring interists and borne labir, in a proper basis of discrimination in the adjustment of a tariff. We agree that certain articles of (tea and coffee, for example,) shall be ad mitted free. Agreeing upon these points, atd having seventy or eighty millions of rev enue to raise, no serious differences can arise in adjusting the details of a tariff bill.— Judge Wilmot's letter to Mr Brown, in the Fall of 1857 was entirely satislactory to the party. It was approved and endorsed by tb® entire Republican and American press of the State. It is now to late to call in question bis soundness upon the tariff. It is ungene* rous, and betrays a spirit of selfishness, and disloyalty to the party of which we are all members, and equally deserving of confi dence and entitled to a fair field for honor able advancement. Those who, in their ea* gerness to grasp honors, thus ■ungenerously and unfairly assail a rival, by attributing to him opinions on the tariff which be does not hold, are, whether they intend it or not, striking at the integrity of the Republican party. The effort to impeach the soundness of Judge Wilmotontbe tariff, illiberal and un just, not ouly to him but to his friends in this Gibralter of the State, who deserve kin* der treatment at the hands of tbeir political brethren, who but for our constancy and fidelity would have been to-day in a hopeless minority in the State and the [Jnion. For the Democrat. Diamonds by the Wayside. When I see a great and glorious nation enjoying all the blessings of Civil, Political, and Religious Liberty, and commanding res pect on sea and land ; protecting her citi zens m every clime and country ; encour aging literature, science and art; prosperous in her commercial relations; at peace with all the world ; abounding in plenty, and fur nishing food to the starving citizens of other nations, I think she is a diamond. When I see a State brooding disunion, and endeavoring to cut herself loose from such a government, by overturning the institutions for which their fathers died, it seems to me as though the Arch Fiend who once sought to dethrone the Omnipotent, had become in carnate, and in revenge for his fall, sought to bring confusion and destruction on the country and government most highly favored aDd beloved of the Almighty, and I think she is a leather diamond. When I see a man regardless of summer's heat or winter's frosts; without sufficient food or clothing, often barefoot; destitute of arms and ammunition, suffering, fighting, bleeding, dying for his country's freedom, I say what a beautiful diamond. When I.bear a man swear to support the Constitution of his country, and see him re ceive a sacred trust from her, if he desert that trust and betray that Constitution by leaguing with disunionists, I say what an in• famous leather diamond. When 1 see a man exalted to high posi tion by the advice and assistance of friends, and find that he remembers those friends af ter they eease to be ot use to him, and en deavors to return their kindness, I say what a rare diamond. When I see one raised to position and pow er who forgets or treats with contempt old friends and tbeir services, and seeks ODly to reward the political mountebank aud charl atan, I eay what a miserable leather diamond. When I see an Editor toiling from year to year for the purpose of establishing some great political truth calculated to benefit his fellow men through all time as well as ad ding to the permanent glory of his country ; working often in poverty, discouraged by friends, misrepresented by enemies; almost dispairing of success yet never flagging or yielding for a moment until success crowns his labors or death ends the struggle, I say what a magnificent diamond. When I see a man riding into power as the representative of some grand political idea that may have cost an Editor years of unwearied, unpaid, unrewarded, unnoticed labor to establish in the public mind, and see him give the cold shoulder to the man who furnished the idea that made him fa mous, I say what a pitiful leather diamond. When I see a Statesman forgetting party animosity and local prejudice and laboring for the welfare of his whole nation, I say there is a jt? ure diamond. When 1 see the patriot and Statesman re tiring to his closet and there pleading with the Chr'stiana' God for tho welfare, perpetu ity and peace of these United States, I feel that there is no danger of theii dissolution, and I call him a star diamond. When the cry of secession is raised and the country is alarmed ; when weak knees begin to tremble, and the common talk is oi danger, I say don't be alarmed, it is but a leather diamond. When I see a man elected to an office of trust and importanoj, who faithfully dischar ges all the duties of his office to the credit and advantage of those who elected him, I say take care of that man, he is a real din mond. When I see a faithful and effisient officer allowed to retire at the expiration of his term, and bis place supplied by one not only lacking his experience but bis qualifications also, I have to say we have exchanged for a leather diamond. When I see a political party selecting its office-holders from the poor but honest men of its party, I feel that the party is honest and will be permanent, and I call it a dia mond of the icater. When I see a party hunting up the rich and aristocratic to fill their uffices, I think of corruption and oppression, and look for its speedy overthrow. It is manifestly a rotten leather diamond. When I 6ee a man subscribe for a oounty paper and promptly pay the printer for it, I think he is a sound diamond. But vi hen 1 see a man take his county pa per and neglect or refuse to pay for it, leav ing the printer to struggle with all the diffi culties and annoyance of debt, and yet ex pecting his paper to be furnished regularly and promptly, I fear that he is only a leather diamond.

THE AMALGAMATION OF LANGUAGES. —There is a growing tendency in this age to appropriate the mbst expressive words of other languages, and after a while'to incorporate them into our own : thus the word Cephalic, which is from the Greek, signifying for the bead," i 8 „ 0 w becoming pop ularized in connection with Mr. Spalding's great Headache remedy, but it will soon be used in a more general way, and the word Cepalie will be come as common as Electrotype and many others whose distiction as foreign wordc has been worn away by common usage until they seem " native and to the manor born." 'ARDLY REALIZED. ni 'ad 'n 'orrible 'eadach e this bafternoon, hand I stepped into the hapothecaries hand says hi to the man, " Can you hease me of an 'eadache?"— " Does it hache 'ard," says 'e. "Hexceedingly," says hi, hand upon that 'e gave me a Cephalie P ill, hand pon me 'onor it cured me so quick that I ardly realized I 'ad an'eadache. —TO HEADACHE is the favorite sign by which nature makes known any deviation whatever from the natural state of the brain, and viewed in this light it may be looked on as a safeguard intended to give notice of disease which might other vise escape attention, till too late to bo remedied ; and its indications should never be neglected. Head aches may be classified under two names, viz ; Symptomatic and Idiophatic. Symptomatic Head ache is exceedingly common and is the precursor of a great variety of diseases, among which are Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile dis eases. In its nervous form at is sympathetic of diseases of the stomach constituting sick head ache, of hepathic disease constituting bilious head, ache , of worms, constipation and othei disorders of the bowels, as well as renal and uterine affec tions. Discasas of the heart are very frequently attended with Headaches ; Anaemia and plethora are also affections which frequently occasion head ache. Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being usually distinguished by the name of ner vous headache, sometimes coming on suddenly in a state of apparently sound health and prostrat ing at once the mental and physical energies, and in other instances it comes on slowly, heralded by depression of spirits or acerbity of terapor. In most instances the pain is in the front of the head, over one or both eyes, and sometimes provoking vomiting ; under this class may also be named Neuralgia For the treatment of either class of Headache the Cephalic Pills have been found a sure and. safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a. few minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating the dis ase of which Headache is tLe unerring in- BRIDGET. —Missus wants you to send her a box of Cephalic Glue, no, a bottle of Prepared Pills,— but I'm thinking that's not just it naither ; but perhaps ye'll be aftber knowing what it is. Ye see she's nigh dead and gone with the Sick Head ache, and wants some more of that same as reliev ed her before. Druggist.— You must mean Spalding's Cephalic Pills. Bridget —Och! sure now and you've sed It, here's the quarther and give mo the PilL and don't be all day about it aither. CONSTIPATION OR COSTIVENESS. No one of the " many ills flesh is heir to"'i so prevalent, so little understood, andso much ne glected as Costiveness. Often originating in care les-ness, or seieatary habits; it;is regarded as a slight disorder of too little consequence to exoite anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor and companion of many of the,most fatal and danger ous diseases, and unless'early eradicated it will bring the sufferer to an untimely grav.. Among the lighter evils of which costiveness is the usual? attendant are Headache, Colic, Rheumatism, Foul Breath, Piles and others of like nature, while a long train of frightful diseases, such as Malignant Fevers Abcesses, Dysentery, Di irrhoea, Dyspop • sia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria, Mypoahondriasis, Melancholy and Insanity, first indicate their presence in tbe system by tbia alarming symptom, Not unfrequently the dis eases named originate in Constipation, but take on an independent existence unless tho case is erad icated in an early rtage. From all these consid erations it follows that the disorder should rec< iv immediate attention whenever it occurs, and on the first appearance of the complaint, as their timely use will expel the insiduous approaches of disease sand destroy this dangerous foe to human life, A REAL BLESSING. Physician. —Well, Mrs, Jones, how is that head ache? Mrs. Jones, Gone ! Doctor, all gone! the pill you sent cured me in just twenty minutes, and I wish you would send mo more so that I can have them handy. Physician. —You can get them at any Druggists. Call lor Cephalic Pills, I find they never fail, and? 1 recommend them in all cases of Headache, Mrs. Jones, —l shall send for a box directly, and shall tell all my suffering friends, for they are a real blessing. TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BAVED. —Mr. Spalding has sol d two millions of bottles of his celebrated Prepared Glue and it is estimated that each bottle saves at least ten dollars worth ot broken furniture, thus making an aggregate of twenty millions of dollars reclaimed'from total loss by this valuable invention. Having made bis Glue a he usehold word, he now proposes to do tho world still greater service by ouri ng all the ach ing heads with his Cephalic Pills, and if they are as good as his Glue, Headaches will soon vanish away like snow in July, FACTS WORTH KNOWlNG,— Spalding's Oephalio Pills are a eertai cure for Sick Headache, Bili ous Headache, Nervous Ileadachs, Custivenesa nd General Itebility. NepvousHeadache Headasebfe By the use of the Pills the periodio attacks ef Nervous or Sitk Headache may be prevented ; and if taken at the commencement of an attack imme diate relief from pain and sickness will be obtain ed. They seldom fail in removing the Nausea and Headache to which female are so subject. They act gently upon the bowels, —removing Costiveness. For Literary Men, Stadents, Delicate Females, and all persons of sedentary habits, they are valu able as a Laxative, improving the apdetite, giving tone and vigor to the)digestive organs, and restor ing the natural elasticity and strength of the whole system. The CEPHILIC PILLS are the result of long investigation and carefully conducted experiments having been in use many years, during which time they have prevented and relieved a vast amount of pain and suffering from Headache, whether originating in the nervous system or from a de ranged state of the stomach. 'xtiey are entirely vegetable in their composi tion, and in-;' be taken at all times wiih perfect safety without making any change f diet, and the absence of any kisagreeable taste renders it easy to administer them to children.
