The.elub papers to be sent to onesper
son in a bundle, and. to be paid for when
ordered. This:offer is so extremely low,
that we•trust our friends will exert them
selves to get up a club in every neighbor

good in this way, find 'urge them, and

TnE BALTIMORE '',CONVENTION
The National Democratic Convention
met at
_.Ealtimore on Monday lait, at 10
o'clock, A. 31. •President CUSHING, on
resuming the chair, recapitulated the cir
cumstances attending the adjournment-
Slively debate ensued upon a motion to
admit the seceding delegates, Which con
tinued until the adjournmentjn the eve
ning. Enough was elicited in this debate
to show that tie temper of the whole del
egation is for peace, harmony - and Nieto
-ry ! All seem to feel that there is.n com
mon - enemy in the field, against whom it is
necessary to oppose a united front. Mr.
Cushing's address wa.kjust and c,onciliato-
TT. He exhorted the delegates not to feel
that they had met to'settle mere questions
of form, or to gain personal or party tri
umphs ; but io exercise a solemn duty at
a- crisis such as before 'hag never befallen
the United - States. " His address was fie
quentl,y interrupted by applause. _
As our paper goes, to press Wednesday
noon, we are without Tuesday's proceed
ings, but at the close of 3ionday's debate
it=looked as if the vote of N;e4. - York would
deeide in favor of the adiiiisssion of the
Southern delegations gen - erally, wher•
there is no 'contest, find of both delega
tions where a contest exists. l
The chances appear to favor a harmont
ons termination of the Convention, as New
York evidently holds the balance of pow
tOW4, tOir
•
compromise.
On ;Monday evening there was a rous
ing -Mass meeting in Monument Square.
. Every effort *ill be made to effect a
eompromise. '
STATE FAIR.
The Executive Committee of the State
Agricultural Society met at Wilkesbarre
Aire 12th,inst.,•and in company with the
officers of theLuzerne County Agricultural
,SocietY, visited the grounds designed for
the State Fair in the Valley. The Fair
Grounds are in the imniediate vicinity ofthe
• Monument, and are described as the most
extensive and commodious in the State,
covering an area 'of seventy-two acres of
land, well; enclged with a good tight
board fence eight feet high, in which is
one of. ihel most . splendid mile tracks for
the exhibition and trial of speed of horses
that is.to be found in the country. After
riding round the track they alighted at a
• large and elegant building,..efected within
the enclosure for the exhibition of the finer
sorts of manufaetnies. This building is
Crta' c . idcirm in shape ; each of the arms being
thirty feet wide; and the whole length be
ing
_nmety feet.
The committee express the confident
opinion that they- will have one of the
%.most successful and best attended Fairs
that has hien held since 1851.

THE "SBAiktDBRER CORNERED.
We publish s morning, says the J'enti
sylvanian of- Friday s -the testimony of At
torney General Black before the 040de
Committee. There has. been so retichloils•
representation! and reckless faisehoOd"til .
bout, the printing of . the . posi office blanks
that it is neatisitry to give a tinthfut state
ment, such as is! here furnished: It.will
be recollected !thin it was ehargedlyl the
Press and its fiyuspatldsers, that the Pres.
ident had offei'ed. to bnle - its editor With
the printing of the klanks if he would in
his paper support the administration upon
the `Kansas question. But it will be seen
that the charge is utterly Without founda
tion, and MtriWebater, upon whose!svi
&nee the chapge was made, having read
the testimony pfJudge Black, has "deelar
ed it tole true, find has told the Omni:Lit.
tee thatAe can neither refute or 'contra
dict it.. It J i be observed that the [ at
tempted arrat l igement was at. the sugges
tion of Mr. Webster as the friend of For
ney, and, douttiess at Forney's own in
stance ;.J . that the President knew nothing
of it, and that ne i c . ording to the account in
Webster'S lett ' Mr. Forney ' s ob'ection
to support frOm er
the administration was
his unwillingness +itonatike such a &Oa
ration in his paper at the present time and
on mere expectation." Mr. Webster's "post
script,-ti Things . ' grow worse and worse ;
you cannot beitoc) prompt in your remedi
al' .meaanres"i--is very 'significant ; for
when 'tis kept" ! in mindthatall this was
done foil Forney,l and with his knowledge,
it means he'll Igrpw more and more abu
sive unless he gets the printing of •the
blanks. ;He did; not 'get the job ; at
tacked the adininistiation, and is now the
leading spirit among its abusive assailants:
Judge Black's connection with the effort
- was a kind hearted. mistake ; he has shOwn
himself* a poor judge of human nature in
pitting confidence in the Press' editor,"
while the President,_ with his experience
in life, thought that Forney, for his Own
sake, ought to go out of the country. And
who is i there '.now that does not' sai it
would have beenlbetter for him-Laye, even
-for his own sake- 7 -to have accepted, the
offs?, of the •tiverpool Consulate ? No
one, not even! himself. The story is told
in a feW words: had,been anlac

bitious of the Senatorship or a Cabinet
place, and failing in this,,he became avar

he had jto deal--he could nht bully the

THAT IS IT.
The simple , fact is, Senator Sumner is
an abolitionist—as much-of an abolitionist
as is Wm. ieyd'9arriiioll.! * ' •
The aboVe candid tkdinission, ii•om the
New York aurier; 4- .ffngeirer, a leading
republican paper, plaees the distinguished
Massachusetts Senator in the right box.—
Since the humiliation of Mr. Seward, who
has expreised a determination to retire
from public . life, Mr." Sul:Mier is the an
lmowledged leader of the republican par
ti in the Senate., Ms speeches, disgust;
ing as they are in their shameless disre
gard of truth and cominon "decency, are
caught up with avidity, and circulated, as
campaign documents by.the black repub
lican clubs. , There is no doubt'that he is
an abolitionist—a fanatical; Union-hating;
John Brown abolitionist—neither is .there
any doubt- that heis.a prominent leader of
the republican party. He will do all in
his power td .aid the election of Lincoln
and Hamlin. Why not? !Is it not in ac
cordance with the"fitness of things ? Can
the Courier,' can Lincoln - himself, who is
said _to be great at splitting, split the dif
ference between a black republican and an
abolitionist? The only poesible difference
is, that the latter is open 'Mouthed, bold,
defiant in his treason, while the formes is
cowardly, truculent and scheming, trying
to secure the same end hy cheating the
peopleto-aid with their votes. The truth
is that Mr. Sumner is an abolitionist and
a blacirepublican, a distinctiOn without a
difference. •

LINCOLN IN OHIO.,

tinually boasting of Lincoln's popularity.
in the west. From the 'foil - owing brief
description of a republican mass meeting,
which we clip from the Coshocton (Ohio)

it would appear that the sectional candi
date is about as popular in Ohio as he is
in Pennsylvania or. Nets Jersey :-
".Another, - farce was enacted here yes

to come up to Coshocton,; and ratify the

ANCIENT SUPERSI'njON VS. MOD
• • ERN SCIENCE
Six hundred yenrs ago it was believed
that scrofula could be cured by the touch .
of a king, and that the fever of a wound
was abated by salving the weapon-that
caused it! These, and fifty other similar
'absurdities, of which We'read in tracing
the progress of the healing art, now only
excite a contemptuous smile; but, even in
thislenlightened era, prejudice and ego-
tism sometimes struggle to perpetuate
error, and venture to question the most
palpable and self-evident-truths.
Thus, when Holloway„'after long years
of Study and "experiment, ushers hip • all
powerful rethedies befifte the World in
their present perfected Onte, their efficacy
was denied by many jealOus practitioners.
These men - were the slaves of formula ;
'persons who believed that truth moved in
a circle like a blind- - horse in a mill-track.
They regarded -Holloway ns an innovator;
and so he was. ills innovations have as
tonished—nay, more, they have convinced
and delightedi the world. The most for
midable Alcerons and -eruptive maladies,
with which science has heretofore waged
an unequal combat,- are now -subdued by
the penetrating Ointment'. for .the cure of
external diseases =and 'injuries, and his
famous pills are administered with mar
venous success for many dangerous inter=
nal disorders..
We have:not arrived at thig conclusion
hastily. It is the 'duty of, the press to in
vestigate before it approves. Public opin
ion is, to a "certain extent, based - upon its
statements, and in all matters which cop
cern the health and life of amen, it Cannot
be 100 cautious or:too scrupulous. But
it ie also the province of the press to give
the widest notoriety to important facts,
and to render justice to great public ben
efactors. The testimonyin favor of Pro
fessor Holloway's remedies emanates from
every quarter of the :.globe. It is enthu
siastic, voluminous, andi consistent.. To
deny it w'Ould be to fly-in the face of the
laws of evidence, and Would evince stu

which was freely contributed - tin
' der the auspices both of Howe and Stearns
linir others, with a knowledge that he re

they had failed to dispossess him. • .
;t On the whole - testimony there can be
ho doubt that Brown's plan was to "coin

LIZARD IN A MAN'S , STDBIACTI-SINGU
LAB Cincums-r.t.wcz.--=o.n Saturday `week
, a live lizard, seven inches'long and two
and a. half hi circumference, was passed
from the bowels of Abner C. Verrill, son•
:of Mr. Cyrus J.-Verrill, of West Auburn,
'Me... The circumstances attending this
expulsion are detailed by Mr. Verrill, and
• his high 'character for veracity and probi
ty removes all doubts of its reality, how
ever impossible it may appear. Mr. Ver
ril is - about twenty-three years of age, and
for the past six or seven yeari he has been
in dechaing health, although previously
he had been healthy and robust. During
all this time _he has been subject to fnint
ing,ispells, sharps pains - and weakness in
the region of the stomach and bowels,
and costiveness and stoppages, and • not
withstanding he has at times had an inor
dinate appetite, yet his weight had fallen
oft from one hundred and fifty pounds,
when he was sixteen or sevenleen years
of age, to one hundred and thirty pounds
at the present time. The lizard is of the
common dail,colored and spbtted species,
but when it was first-expelled it was much
lighter colored. It was probable that the

The resolutions reported were unanimous

lowing:— !.
-" Resolved,_ That the times imperatively
demand the reorganizatimt of patties, and
repudiating all previous party attachments;
names and Predilections, we unite our
selves together in defence of the liberty
and Constittition of the country, and will
hereafter cooperate as -the Republican
party, pledged to the,,accornplishment of.
the following purposes : To. bring the ad ,
ministration of government
_back to the - •
control of.first principles; to'restore Kan
sas and Nebraska to tbe position of Free
Territories;
that as the Constitution of
the' United States vests in the States, and
not in Congress, - the power to legislate
. for the elrtradition of Fugitives Rom labor, -
to repeal and ,entirely; abrogate!! thi - Fusk
tive Slave law ; to prohibit the:admission
of any more.slave States into the Union;
to abolish slavery in the. District of Co- -
'Jumble; to exclude slavery, from all the .
Territories over which the general goverri
ment has ' exclusive . jurisdiction ; and to
arrest the acquirement of any more Ter
ritories unless the practice of slavery
therein forever shall have •been ,, prOhil>-=

As Mr. LiUcoln has 'not "annOnnced a
change of .opinion upon this subject, we,
have a right to believe that he still holds
to-that which he adVinatdd in' 1854. A
