possible that a majority would vote to sustain
the author of the heartless and cruel letter
♦o Prof. Silliman on the state of affairs in Kan
s ts It is only among those who are ignorant
of the material facts, and who do not know
that Mr. Buchanan has himself appointed to
as well as retained in office the mastef-spirits of
t he Border Ruffian, robbers aud murderers—
including some whose individual hands are red
with the blood of innocent Free State men—
that his letter to Silliraan can be deemed tri
umphant. Had one-half the Republicans of
Pinnsvlvania tokenthe THE TRIBUNE duriug the
last two or three years and lent it freely to
their neighbors, that letter would suffice to
insure the defeat of its author and his parti
zaus in the pending contest.
There is yet time to do the needed work.
If there be lack of faith or of heart on the
Republican side, it is confined to the politi
cians—the People do not share it. Gen. Pack
er is exceedingly vulnerable with regard to
the canal jobs and squanderings of the last
ten years iu Pennsylvania, and a simple, brief
expose of his connection with and profits from
these jobs would set thousands actively against
him who are now indifferent. The attempt
of the allies of South Carolina and Mississippi
to raise votes on the assumption that Wilmot
is a Free-trader is an insult to the popular
intelligence, which only needs to be meet to
recoil on its authors. Whatever may be Mr.
Wilinot's individual notions of Political Econ
omv, his election would be quite other than
a Free-trade triumph, aud this the authors of
the cry that he is a Free-Trader do perfectly
know. Mr. Wilmot was nomiuated and is
supported as the champion of Slavery Res
triction,* aud as such he stands or falls ; but
his election would liberate Pennsylvania from
the toils of trie political gamblers who, in op
position to their own convictions as well as
hers, have dragged behind the triumphal car
of Calhounism for most of the last thirteen
rears, merely that they might riot in the spoils
of office. It is high time that they were re
buked for this betrayal, and the opportunity
cow presents itself.
We close oy entreating every Pennsylvania
Republican to do his utmost for the election of
Wilmot and his able and worthy associates on
the Republican State Ticket. Iu a year of
relative apathy, a little effort often secures
great results. —A". I'. Tribune.

MOST SHAMEFUL I —The York Republican
states that lien Packer, in his speech there
went out of the way to indulge in hitter and
abusive comment upoii lus rival, Judge Wn.-
NOT. We should not have thought this of the
General. When he accepted his nomination
at ilarndiurg, Packer made a speech, which
was understood, by his friends as well as op
ponents, as a defiant chaileng to meet, on the
hustings, whoever might be the candidate
against him. In this aggressive position of
Packer, Judge Wilmot expected his challenge
which was not forthcoming, Wilinot himself
invited a canvass together before the people.
After Packer had, through his "Commit
tee," declined, the name of his opponent
should no more escape his lips, aud reference
to him be avoided on his part. This would
seem to be good taste, justice, and ordinary
decency. Wilmot, we hope, will treat Packer
as Burlingame treated Brooks after a similiar
coming down—with utter neglect !
P. S. The Daily X~cics states that Gen.
Packer said in his York speech that he want
ed to meet Wilmot but the " Committee"
would not consent ; and this avowal disgust
ed many of his hearers, even of his own party,
•lost as if a caudidate for Governor was uot
enough of a freeman to defend himself and at
tack an opponent, but was a mere tool of a
" Committee "
Mr. W ILMOT. —From all parts of the State,
*e have the most cheering intelligence of the
impression making by our friend Mr. Wilmot
on the minds and hearts of the people. His
tare argumentative ability, his vast fund of
politico-historical facts, his intimate acquaint
anceship with distinguished gentlemen, on all
sides of politics—his possession of folios of in
teresting persona! reminisences—his simplicity
of manner and wonderful urbanity of disposi
tiou— his frank, out-spoken way with the peo
pj°, all, in harmonious combination, render
I'im one of the most remarkable men of the
day.
Pennsylvania may well be proud of such a
| man as WILMOT as her son, and happy will be
the State, when she can point to him ns her
Governor—as the worthy successor of James
lollock, whose excellent administration of
l affairs will be continued by GOVERNOR
" ILMOT.
The people's nominee is treated with mark
ed respect in the country, aye, even by the
friends of Mr. Packer. His political enemies
the worth of the man, wboin party duty
compels them to oppose.

IT gives immediate relief from pain, and in as quick a
time fts it Is possible for this disease to be affi-tted. it
heals the wounds gradually and safely, after extracting
all poisonous matter, until a permanent cure is made.
ITS NAME
As its name imports, this Ointment is of Swiss Origin,
and is the most remarkable Ointment for curing old Sores
and Bail Legs ever known. Its curing properties seem
to be perfectly irresistible.
The receipt for making this rare rnediwine, was ob
tained from James Rondon, an old Swiss tur maker in
North Carolina, who brought it with him from Switzer
land.
AS A FAMILY SALVE,
it has no equal, both in its powers for doing good, and
its extreme neatness as a
CLEAN, SWEET, PURE, PLE ASANT OINTMENT,
healing without the least injury everything to w uich it
is applied.
MOTHERS USE IT
for their Caked. Broken and Inflamed Breasts with charm
ing success. Thousands of Mothers are this day blessing
the hour iu which thev first applied the GOOD SWISS
SALVE.
SALT RHEUM
and SCROFULOUS SORES and Swellings it rapidly
cures by striking at the root of the disease an . drawing
the humors to tlm surface. IT NEVER DRIVES TUEM IN
WAR >1 Under ail circumstances of the case
IT IS SAFE:
Good Swiss Salve cures Felon?.
Good Swiss Solve cures Piles.
Uood Swi.-s Salve cures Burns.
Good Swiss Salve cures Bruise#.

IN SHORT.
•3" Wherever Pain or Infiamntion exist, npplv the
