A Category of loafers. Different nations have
different kinds ef loafers. The Italian spends his
time in sleeping the Turkish loafer in dreaming
the Spanish in praying the French in laugh
ing the English in swearing the Russian in
gambling the Hungarian in smoking the Ger
man in drinking, and the American in talking
politics.
Creditable business spying round after the
Know Nothings! The man who was engaged in
it on Friday evening last, did'nt make much. We
always expect such things from a man who "looks
two ways for Sunday," when he goes to take a
drink of whiskey, lest he should have to spend an
extra sixpence, for somebody off whom he has
been in the habit of "spunging," his drams. The
business is small, and the man is adapted to it.
Camp Meeting. We attended the Camp Meet
ing at Millport, under the charge of the Rev. Dr.
Linthicum, on Sabbath last. It was, perhaps the
largest ever held in the County, and we have no
doubt will be productive of much good. There
were over twenty tents, and we were at a loss to
imagino where the vast number of people who
were in attendence, came from. On Saturday
night there were about thirty persons seeking re
ligion, on Sabbath evening, we learn, that the
cumber was much larger.
Tue Papal Culucii Macaulkt's Testimo
ny The great historian of England, iu ref
erence to the Church of Rome, has uiadc, for
the benefit of the future ages, the following
clear, pointed, truthful, and enduring record
"During the last three centuries, to stunt
the growth of the human mind has been her
chief object. Throughout Christendom, what
ever advance has been made in knowledge, in
freedom, in wealth, and in the arts of life, has
been in inverse proportion to her power.' The
loveliest and most fertile provinces of Europe
have, under ner ruld, been sunk in poverty,
in political servitude, and in intilectual tor
por while Protestant countries, once prover
bial for stertility and barbarism, have been
turned, by skill and industry, into gardens,
and can boast of a long list of heroes and
statesmen, philosophers and poets. Whoever,
knowing what Itily and Scotland naturally
are, and what four hundred years ago they ac
tually were, shall now compare the country
around Rome with the country around Edin
burgh, will be able to form some judgement
of the tendency of papal domination.
The descent of Spain, once the first among
monarchies, to the lowest depths of degreda
tion, the elevation of Holland, in spite of na
tural disadvantages, to such a position as no
Commonwealth so small has ever reached,
teach the same lesson. Whoever passes in
Germany, from a Roman Catholic to a Prot
estant principality, in Switzerland from a Ro
man Catholic to a Protestant canton, in Ire
land from a Roman Catholic to a Protestant
county, finds that he has passed from a lower
to a higher grade ol civilization. On the
other side of the Atlantic the same law pre
vails. The Protestants of tho United States
hav left behind them the Roman Catholics
or Lwer Canada, who remain inert, while the
whole country around is a ferment of Protes
tant activity and enterprise. The French
have doubtless shown an energy and an intel
ligence, even when misdirected, which have
justly entitled them to be called a great peo
ple." This apparent exception, wheu exam
ined, will be found to confirm the rule; for in
no country that is called Roman Catholic has
the Roman Catholic Church, during several
generations, possessed so little authority as in
France."
Slavery is Kassas. Striugfellow, who Is
Speaker of the Kansas House of Representa
tives, and editor of the Squatter Sovereign, at
Atchison, discourses as follows in regard to
the security of slave property in Kansas:
We receive letters by nearly .every mail ask
ing our opinion as regards the security of slave
property in Kanses Territory. We can truly
answer that no Territory iu Uncle Sam's do
minion can be found where the slave can bo
made more secure, or his work commands a
higher price. Kansas is adapted to slave la
bor, as all can testify who have experimented
in the matter. Our slave population is gradu
ally increasing by the arrival of emigrants and
settlers from the slave States, who, having an
eye to making a fortune, have wisely conclu
ded to secure a farm in Kansas, and stock it
well with valuable slaves. There are nearly
one hundred slaves in this immediate neigh
borhood, and we have yet the first case of one
escaping to record. Situated as Missouri is,
being surrounded by free States, we would
advise the removal of negroes from the fron
tier counties to Kansas, where they are com
paratively safe. Abolitionists too well know
tho character of the Kansas squatter to at
tempt to carry out the nefarious schemes of
the under-ground railroad companies.
An act is before the Legislature of Kansas
Territory, regulating oaths, and prescibing the
forms of oaths of office. The substance of this
act is, that all officers of the Territory shall take
an oath to support the constitution of the Uni
ted States, to 'sustain and support' the provi
sions of the Kansas-Nebraska act, and the
laws of the United States, particularly that
'commonly known as the Fugitive Slave law.'
Rich Scene. The following rich scene oc
curred in the Locofoeo Hard Shell State Con
vention which met in Syracuse X. Y. last
week.
Mr. Haskins then proposed his resolution,
denouncing the National Administration, and
while the ayes and noes were being - taken on
the question of its indeflnite postponement,
Mr. Barr, of New York, charged Mr Haskins
with not oflering the resolution in good faith,
whereupon Mr. II. replied that li. had no right
here except in sufferance, and that lie, Birr,
voted with the Whigs on every question in
the Legislature, last winter, and was now un
der the pay of the Seward Whigs.
Mr. Barr retorted that Haskins lied, and that
he, Haskins, was here as a member from New
York, when he lived in Westchester.
Great confusion prevailed, which was finally
checked by a peremptory order from the Chair
for the gentleman to be seated.
Mr. Haskins' resolution, denouncing the
National Administration, was rejected Ayes

These Paints will stand any climate, without
crack or blister, and harden by exposure; thus
making in time an enamel of Stone, protecting
Wood from decsy, nnd Iron and other metals from
rust and corrosion. Th'ey differ essentially from
the so-called Mineral Paints of the day, which are
principally Ochres, and Clays, and are entirely
worthless.
SILVER S Plastic Paints are purely METATr

They arc levigated finely, mix readily with Lin

flow under the brush as freelp as the best White

EAR AND EYE.
DBS. Le BRUNN & DUFTON,
Occuliitl and Aurixta.
Deafness and Ear Diseases lltlirully Cttretl.
Dr. Le Bnrsx offers to those suffering front
Deafness his INFALLIBLE AURAL REMEDIES,
which have been successful in nearly 3,000 cases
of confirmed deafness. These remedies comprise
different courses for diseases of the internal, mid
dle and external ear, and have been pronounced
by those celebrated aurists, Drs. Cramer, of Ber
lin, Itard, and Delan, of Paris. Curtis. Pilcher and
Yearsly of London, as being tha MOST WONDER
FUL and EFFECTUAL ever applied for diseases
of the internal and middle ear. Dr. LeB., WAR
RANTS A CUBE in every ease where the ear is
perfect in formation. He has eighteen certificates
of cures from those who had been DEAF AND
DUMB, and whose hearing is now completely res
tored and are now enabled to learu the laaguage.
The names of 2,700 persons who have been cured
by Dr. LeB., may be seen on application. Pa
tients, by sending a description of the case, ean
have remedies sent to any part of the United
States.
In case of mucus aeeumulations in the Eusta
chain Tube and Tympanum, inflammation of tho
mucus membrane, nervous affections, diseases of
the membrane tympani. called "the drum," or
when the disease can be traced to the effects of fe
vers or colds, the use of quinine or mercurial
medicines, gatherings in the ears in children. Ac,
this treatment STANDS PREEMINENT. When
the auditory is dry and scaly, with little or no
secretion ; when the deafness is accompanied with
noise in the ear. like falling water, chirping of
insects, ringing of bells, rustling of leaves, contin
ual pulsations, and discharge of matter, or when
in stooping, a sensation js felt as if a rush of blood
to tho head had taken place ; when tho hearing
is less accute in dull, cloudy weather, or when a
cold has been taken, this method of treating tho
disease is infallible.
Dr. Duftou is the only Occulist in the United
States who practices the new painless, and suc
cessful method in treating all tho diseases to which
the eye is s.ubject Where every other means
have failed to afford relief, he asks from such a
fair and impartial trial.
TESTIMONY. The undersigned practition
ers in medicine in the city of New York, having
had frequent occasion to witness the practice of
Drs. LeLSrunn and Dufton. in diseases of the Ear
and Eye. laying aside all professional jealousy,
freely admit, that the course pursued by them in
treating diseases of these delicate organs, from tho
uu paralleled success attending it, is well worth tho
attention of our professional brethren, throughout
the United States, feeling assured as we do. that
Aural Surgery has not met with that attention
which its importance demands. Their system of
treating diseases of the middle and internal Ear,
by Medical Vapors.'' particularly in chronic or
complicated cases, forms a new era in the practice
of Aural Surgery; such cases yielding in almost
every instance to this luir aud powerful agent.
This practice fills up a void which has long been
felt by the general practitioner, enabling him to
cope successfully with every raxe where perfect
formation exists.
. In diseases of the Eye, they seldom require to
resort to ihc operation.
As skillful Aurists and Oculists, enthusiastically
devoted to their profession, we cordially recom
mend them to such as may require their aid
