THE DUELLO UFRVOKUS.
Every Plug Ugly would delight in any
kind of a fight. He is full of the animal
instincts which ally man with the lower or
der of creation. Not only may you take
Baltimore or Washington City
for an example ; but the rowdy spirit can
be seen in any town, eager for "a muss,"
and full of blood and muscle—sometimes l
of bad whiskey. In less refined ages
this instinct delighted in gladiatorial dis
plays of personal prowess; and in coun
tries where the animal nature is stronger
than the spiritual it still takes pleasure in
bull-fights and performances of that kind.
Even among hot-bloods of our own the du
ello is yet-well known. Therefore we say,
the restless, hot-blood which is so eager for |
a gladiatorial Iruy between Gen. Packer and j
Judge Wilmot does not ask it for the men- j
tal or moral enlightening of the public, but
simply to have a "row"—to excite passions
and to inflame the prejudices of fanatics
and bigots. The history of the Crusades, of
Popish gun-jtowder, meal-tub and Titus-
Dales' plots, and of witch-burning in this
country illustrate how this game is played
by hypocrites and demagogues upon the
passionate and the simple.
Ho they want cool and candid discussion? |
Why then did these same men only three
years ago lead their dupes into dens of mid
nlglit darkness to take horrid oaths oi secrecy
and of eternal hostility against their human
brethren ? A pretty set truly are these to
ask for public discussion now. But there has
been, and there will be iitu.il the olection,
enough discussion to gratify them, and to
enlighten the public on all (lie issues truly
ill controversy.
True, there was three years ago an epi
sode from the main performance to which
we have alluded. We mean the prostitu
tion of a great moral principle to the gain
of political gamesters. But it is quite cer
tain that the Opposition candidate will not
now discuss that pint, unless in the lager
beer saloons in a practical way to catch
votes.
The old respectable Federal and Whig
parties prided themselves on possessing
"all the decency and intelligence'' of the
country : but their degenerate successors
prefer the drunken vulgarity of Tom Ford
to the arguments of any other speaker.—
Surely it would be wasting the pearls of
reason to discuss principles before those
men, and he who could gain their applause
would have cause lor everlasting self-re
proach. Take for instance a tnan who
thinks that to contrast Henry Clay with
■Seward and Johnson as "Hyperion to a
Satyr" is abusing Clay, and is it a wonder
that lie prefers Tom Ford to every body
else. From such an auditor a foul apecdole
woukl gain loud applause, and reasoning
fall still born.

The recent elections have gone Democratic
in every State. Kentucky Fends a Demo
rratic mjotity 'o the' legislature, on joint

IN NORTH CAROLINA the reiurtiß so far in

IN TENNESSEE the Democrats have elect

An Artful Dodge.
A Chestnut street jeweler was swindled
out of a set of jewels 1 amounting to two
hundred and lifty dollars, a few day6sitice, in
a maimer so common in these times that we
wonder the net could not have been loreseen.
A flashy looking youth hailing from St. F.ouis,
who was stopping at (he St. I.awrence, com
mitted the fraud. He called at the store, ex
amined jewelry atnl requested that a clerk
might go with him to his room at the hotel
and bring Ilia goods with him. The swindler
politely invited the clerk to be seated, while
he look the goods to liie ladies' parlor to
show to his wile. The clerk complied and
delivered the gooJs to the stranger, when the
latter dissappeared in the direction of the la
dies' parlor. The clerk wailed (or a hour, and
ihen went to hunt up the stranger, but neither
goods nor purchaser have been seen subse
quently. The search of the police for the
young St. Louisian proves totally unavailing.

A CHARACTERISTIC THICK. —It IS Hated that
Wilinot bs resigned his Judgeship. We
hope this is so—but why didn't lie resign
sootier, so as to give the people of his dis
trict ail opportunity, at the ensuing October
election, of filling the office for the period
oftenyeafs! The answer is easilly given,
fie has very little, if any, hope ol an election
to the Gubernatorial chair—consequently
r.ext year, when the people are constitution
ally authorized to act, (which can only be
done when the resignation lakes place three
calendar months before a general election,)
VVilmot will again step forward and be elec
ted to the Judicial office ! Had he resigned
sooner an election would have been held
this year, and his successor commissioned
for the full term. As it is, Governor Pollock
will now appoint, which appointment holds
good onlil after the election of 1858. A
pretty shrewd trick on the part of the Black
Republican candidate lor Governor, and alto
gether characteristic of the foul parly which
he represent. — Lmcatler Ltlelligcncer. '
UNITED STATES SENATORS —The Legisla
tures of Tennessee, Virginia, Texas, Ken
tucky and Alabama are to elect United
States Senators at their next sessions. Ten
nessee has to choose two. Hunter and Wise
are prominent candidates in Virginia. F.x-
Governor Powell, Ex-Secretary Guthrie,
Hon. Geo. W. Johnson, Hon. Win. Preston,
and Hon. John W. Stevenson are spoken of
in Kentucky by the Democrats. Gen. Mc-
Culioitgh, the Toxan Ranger, will probably
be Gen. Rusk's successor from Texas.
Cy The Patent Office of the United States
has received three thousand applications
and issued fifteen hundred patents within

The Bravest Man Found ut Latt.
General Jackson left a gold sndfl box to the
city authorities to bo awarded to the individ
ual, a eon of New York, who Should most
distinguish himself in the neat war which
occurred. Kvar since the Mexican war, the
discussion has been lively in reference to the
person who deserved this special mark of
merit. Various claimants have been put for
ward, and a joint committee of Councils have
had Ihe mailer under consideration. They
have at last reported that the box should be
awarded to' Major Gtrfe it W. Dyckman, of
j the First Regiment of New York Volunteers.
The Committee stated that they would not
| presume to make the announcement that
j Major Dyckman was the bravest man in the
'New York Regiment, but that lie possessed
every other essential requisite of a soldier and
an officer; and besides performed many acts
of remarkable bravery, which distinguished
him particularly from his fellow officers.—
The gold box is now in the possession of
Andrew Jackson, Jr., Ihe adopted sou of Ihe
old General, to whom it bad been committed
for safe keeping, and who intends to bring it
to New York in person. The prcsenlatien
will lake place on the 11th of September, and
as much dignity as possible will be commu
nicated to the occasion, by a turn out of tho
military, speeches, dinners, etc.— Ledger.
I Another I.oofholk fob Mrs. Cunningham.
i Law ia one of the exact sciences,and requires
mathematical certitude in each of the steps
of a proceeding before it imposes ft disquali
fication or a penalty. Mrs. Cunningham, by
the hasty proceeding of the District Attorney,
has not only the advantage which is supposed
to arise from not having fully consummated
the crime which she had intended, but she
has also a chance of escape through another
loophole left open by the premature proceed
ing. It is contended by the legal profession
that Mrs. Cunningham would not cume with
in Ihe statute against palming off a supposi
titious heir to the properly, unless it is deci
ded in the Surrogate's Court that she is actu
ally Ihe wife of Dr. Burdell. In the words of
the statute it is essential to the crime that the
child fraudulently produced should be pro
duced "as Ihe child of parents whose child
would be entitled to inherit." If Mrs. Cun
uingharn was not married lo Dr. Burdell, Ihe
child produced, supposing it to have been Iter
own, could not legitimately be the heir of
the deceased, and therefore the personation
does not full within the terms of the statute,
which calls for Ihe personation of an infant
born of parents whose child would be entitled
to inherit.
CP" The matvels of Chemistry are among
the wonders ol modern limes, threatening to
alfr the course of commerce and to reverse
tlie tide of liunißn industry. She had discov
ered, it is said, a substitute for the cochineal
insect in a beautiful dye producible from gu
ano. She has shown tlisfa supply ol animal
food may Lc obtained at a.cheaper rate, by
simply boiling down the juices of the flesh of
cattle now wasted and thrown aside in some
regions, and imparting the extract in aßtale
of concentration. And she has pointed out
that one of the earths which constitute the
principal material of onr globe contains a
metal as light as glass, as malleable and duc
tile as copper, and as little liable to rust as
silver; thus possessing properties so valuable,
that wlion means have been lound of separa
ting Vt economically from its ore, it will be
capable of superceding the metals in common
use, and thus of rendering metallurgy an
employment, not of certain districts only, but
of every part of the earth to which science
and civilization have penetrated. And these
are but fragments in the history of chemical
science.
COUNSEL.—But few of (he reading public
are aware how continually an editor-is called
upon to advise his patrons on every subject,
Irom politics to the breed of cattle. Through
the whole range of our duties none has per
plexed us more than to tell our readers what
to take lor a core when thejr are sick. Hith
erto this has been a severe trial to all our skill
but it will not be hereafter. We have been
taking, and have seen the evidence from
others that have taken Doct. Ayer'e Cherry-
Pectoral and Cathartic Pills. They need but
a slight trial to convince the most sceptical
how far they are superior to the other medi
cines we have had in use. They have one
single property of great importance to the
sick and thai is they cu>e. — Uoslon Herald.

we pledge ourselves to use our best efforts,
both individually and collectively, to
va'.e that ypirit.
Resolved, That the publication of personali
ties reflecting upon the private character of
a brother editor or any other individual, is
derogatory to the editorial profession, and
should not be countenanced.
Resolved, That it is a violation of that cour

itorial fraternity, to employ apprentices who
have not served out their full term with their
employer, unieea by mutual agreement, and
we pledge ourselves to discourage its contin
uance.
Resolved, That we will not take apprentices
hereafter for a shorter period than four years.
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to ex

t3T Artesian wells have become very gen
eral throughut the West, within a few years
past, especially in Wisconsin. They are usu
ally abont four inches in diameter. In boring
them it is very seldom that rock is encoun
tered. The soil, for the most part, is clay.
In excavating the clny a hollow iron cylinder
is employed, about three feet in length, the
ower end of which is steel, and is kept sharp.
In the cylinder, near the bottom, is a valve,
which allows the cluy, as the instrument is
driven downward, to press up into the cylin
der. When this cylinder is full, it is drawn
up by a windlass—the vnlve closing as the
clay presses downward,and so retaining its
load—and emptied. Attached to the top of
the cylinder is an iron rod, with the thread of
a screw on the lop, by means of which anoth
er rod, longer or shorter, according Ihe depth
of the well, is made to connect with the cyl
j inder. When a rock is struck, a heavy drill
is used, operated by a machine made for lite
purpose.— Ledger.
NBAI. TOW IN DUBLIN. —NcaI Dow, the au
tlior of the Maine Law, has been entertained
at a public banquet in the llotumlo, Dublin,
by Mr. James Haughton and othecs. This
Haughton is a notorious friend of ' civiliza
tion" and Abolitionism. He is a corn mer
chant by profession, but philanthropy is his
trade. There is scarcely a subject on which
he has not written letters to the newspapers.
He is exhaustless in his public efforts to do
good for humanity—for the slaves of the
Southern States, -foR instance; but wheu
the famine was in Ireland, this good soul
Haughton stored his com, kept up the priee,
daily speechified on the necessities of the
Umes, and by night had to throw his corn,
which had grown musty, into the Liffey.—
Such is the chief welcomer of Neal Dow, to
Dublin.
Holloway's Ointment and Pills. —lt is dan
gerous to suppress ail abscess with the as
tringent ointments in common use. Hollo
way's famous unguent operates on a different
principle, it does not close the issue super
ficially, while
"Foul corruption mining all within,
Infects unseen;
but purges the cavity of all acrid and inflam
matory matter, and expels every particle ol
the poisonous virus which generates the pus.
Consequently, there is no danger of the dis
ease breaking out in another place. Toe
same principle applies in all eruptive and
glandular affections. The Pills, which are a
certain remedy for all complaints of thestftm •
urh, liver, and bowels, may be beneficially
used as an aperient medicine, while the oint
ment is removing any external disorder.
In Mauclt Chunk on last Thursday morn
ing of apoplexy, WILLIAM E. MONAIR, aged
about 24 years.
The deceased was for some years con
nected with this office, first as apprentice,
and then as foreman; and gained the re
spect and confidence of all who truly
him. He was faithful to every duty, and
had a clear, quick mind and a just and gen
erous disposition. He left the printingbusi
j ness for a more lucrative employment; and
in the active business of mercanlile life dis
played the same earnestness and energy of
character which marked him when a boy.
The world was bright before him for hope
and heart to tbo full; and his aim was a"
manly one—"upward and onward." The
Destroyer came suddenly—a thief in the
night—and the friends of the just and gen
erous young hero in the battle of life mourn
for a younger brother fallen.

PURE
OSWJBGO STARCH,
(FOII THE LAUNDRV.)
fIAS established a greater celebrity than
lias ever been obtained by any other
Starch.
This has been the Jesuit of its marked su
periority in quality, and its invariable uni
formity.
The public may be assured of the coniintf
ance of the high standard now established.
The production is over Twenty Tons daily,
and the demand has extended throughout the
whole of the United States, and to foreign
countries.
Working thus on a very large scale, and
under a rigid system, they are able to secure
a perfect and uniformity in the quality tarough
out the year. This is the great Desideratum
in Starch-making, and is realized now for
the first time.
The very best starch that can be mad 9, mot
no of/ter, is always wanted by consumers,
and while this will be supplied to thetn by
the grocers, as soon as their customers have
learned which is the best, und ask for it
otherwise they would be likely to gel that
article on which the largest piofit can be
made.
Mr. Kingsford has been engaged in the
manufacture of starch continuously for the
last 27 years, and during the whole of the
period, the starch made under his supervis
ion has been, bevond any question, the beat
in the market. For the first Yl years, he had
the charge ot the works ol Wm. Colgate &
Co., at which period he invented the process
of the manufacture of corn starch.
Ask jor Kingaford's Stnrck, as Ike name
Oswego has recently been taken by another fat
lory.
T. KINGSFOIiD & SON'S
OSWEGO CORN STJIRVH,
(For Puddings, l[c ,)
Has obtained an equal celebrity with their
Starch for the Laundry. This article is per
fectly pure, and is, in every tpspect, equal to
the best Bermuda Arrow-Runt, besides hav
ing additional qualities which feeder it inval
uable for the dessert.
Potato Starch lias been extensively packew
and told as Corn Staroh, and has given falsa
impressions to many, as to the real merits of
our Com Starch.
From its great delicacy anJ purity, it is
coming al-o into extensive use as a diet lot
infants and invalids.
