I'MOX ELECTORAL TICKET.
Ve have received a circular, numerously signed,
addressed to the voters of Pennsylvania opposed to
James Buchanan, calling upon them to meet in
their respective counties on Saturday the Wih of
i on.i Mini in rco mc numDcr ol uclegates
that each district is entitled to members of the le
gislature, who are to meet in Convention at Har
rtsbrg,on Tknrs-taif the th da y of October, to
form a Union Electoral Ticket, upon the plan
which we published a short time since, in the event
that the several State Committees of the opposi
tion, which were to meet yesterday, at the State
capital, did not agree upon a ticket. In accord
ance with this call, those opposed to the election of
ISuchanan are requested to meet in Clearfield bor
ough on Satnrday afternoon, at i o'clock, to select
delegates, if it is deemed necessary.
Got. Geary, of Kansas, seems to hold out
in his Inaugural some hopes of peace for un
happy Kansas; but he d ishes to the ground,
Jn one sentence, all the hopes that the gener
al tenor of his address would seem to author
ize. In spite of all his fair words, he is there
simply to do the work of the Juoss-troopers
who surround him. He s tys he deprecates a
continuance of the strife and disorder in the
Territory, caused by the illegal and unjustifii-
ble interference of other States, promises jus
Ltgitlature, until they are repealed. This is
just the turning point tt the whole case.
Those laws of the Territorial Legislature,'
Infamous, invalid anil unconstitutional, are
tbe cause of the whole difficulty. So long as
they ore in force, it is utterly' inipossihe to ef
fect their repeal. They disfranchise, l.y their
test oaths, every man who wishes and would
vote to repeal them. If repealed at all, it
must be by the Legislature. Then the Legis
latnre is to lie chosen in accordance with the
provisions of these very laws; and one of
their requirements is that no man shall vole, or
be eligible to office, who will not taut i oalh lo
tuttain thtn. What a mockery is it, therefore,
for Governor Geary tatell the people of Kan
as that these laws must be obeyed until re
in;! cd !
Gov. Geary may secure momentary peace
to the territory by keeping out the Missouri
ruffians until after the Presidential election;
but any attempt to enforce the infamous terri
torial laws must end in the triumph of Border
liuffianism. Thej were made for the express
purpose of forcing Slavery upon Kansas, and
the" so effectually disfranchise the free state
men as to render their rei.il, under their own
operation, impossible. The true purpose of
Gov. Geary, evidently, is to keep things quiet
for a few weeks, in order to prevent injury to
Buchanan from the continual outrages in the
territory, and then renew the fight under cir
cumstances disadvantageous to the Free State
men. Pittsburg Gazette.
A letter from Pittsburg to the editor of the
Khuira .Mccrtistr says : "I think you can
safely rely on Allegheny county giving Fre
mont 5,000 majority; Beaver, 1,000; Law
rence, 2,000 ; "lYashingtoa, which you know
is generally very close, COO ; and Fayette
and Greene will be very close, if not give a
majority for Frcruout. In Westmorland our
friends are working hard. In some parts of
the county they are holding meetings every
day, and nre sanguine of success. The West
is sound for Fremont by a large majority, as
we will demonstrate to your satisfaction on
the Hth of October. The Fillmore men arc
doing but little in this section."
Let there be no secrets in Medicine, or ra
ther no pretended secrets. The Medical Fa
culty publish as soon as made, all their discov
eries, and almost all thai Is known of real val
pc for the cure of disease, has been discover
ed by teem. Dr. Jyer takes the honorable
honest course, and right because it is honest.
He goes to work and invents'the best remedy
which medical bkill can devise tor the cure of
certain comslaints ; then publishes what it is
aud maintains his monopoly of it solely by ma
king it cheaper, better, more perfect, than
anybody else can. If the people would exact
this of all who offer medicines, they would
have rauch less treacle and tras' to swallow.

T hn been the lot of the human race to be weigh
WAY'S PILLS tire special! v n.i.lpted to the relief
of the W EAK, the NERVOl'S, the DELICATE,
and tho INFIRM, of all climes, ages, sexes; and
constitutions. Professor Ilolloway personally sa
perintends the manufacture of his medicines in the .
L nitcd States, nnd offers them to a freeand enli
ht-.
c-ned I'Cople. s the best remedy the world
ever -

THESE PILLS PURIFY THE BLOOD.
These famous Fills-are expressly combined loop
crate on the stomach, the liver, the kidneys, tho.
lungs, the skin, and the bowels, correcting any do
rnngemeut in their functions, purifying the LIoo-J,
the very fountain cf life, and thus curing discus,
iu all its farm;.
D1SPEPSIA AND LIVER COMPLAINTS
Nearly half the human race have taken these.
Pills. It has been proved in all parts of the world,-
that nothing has been found equal to them in cases .
of disorders of the liver, dyspepsia, and stomach
complaints generally. They soon give a healthy -tone
to these organs, ho never ranch deranged, aniL.
when all other menus have failed.
GENERAL DEBILITY. ILL HEALTH- .
Many of tbemost despotic Governments have o
pened their Custom Houses to the introduction of "
these Pills, that they may l-ccome the medicine of -the
masses. Learned Colleges admit that this :
lnedit-iuo is the best remedy ever known for nerf " -ton
of delicate health, or where the system ha
been impaired, as its invigorating properties ceverr
fail to atford relief. .
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
No female, young or old. should bo without thin
celebrated medicine. It corrects ar.d rcgulatesthe
monthly courses at all periods, acting in many ca "
ses like a charm. It is also the best and safest. -medicine
that can be given to Children of all age.as. '
and for any complaint; consequ jntly no fnmJj-
