Our elections in Kentucky have just termi
nated. They were with the exception of a
Clerk of the Court of Appeals, tor county and
Ijwu officers. The Americans have carried
this county and Lexington by an increased
Tiiiyj'irity. There is no limit to the corruptions
'und frauds used to secure the election of Dem

"gloom which such scenes arc calculated to pro
vince, 1 havo reason to rejoice that the home

Fayette, has not been desecrated by their pol
lutions. What arc rou doing in Pennsylvania to bring

A CARD FROM DR. JAMES M. JAR
RETT, OF THE NEW-YORK LUNG IN
FIRMARY. My connection for the past eight
years with the above Institution, as Chief FLysi
cian. and a twelve years' courseof steady devotion
to the Cure of Pulmonary Consumption and its
kindred diseases, together with my unrivalled op
portunities and advantage of pathological research
aided not a little by a perfect system of Medical
Iithultitiaii has enabled me to arrive at a deci
sive, direct, and successful course of treatment for
the positive and radical cure of nil diseases of the
Tirout, Lungs, and Air-passagei. By Inhalation,
the vapor and eiirative properties of medicines are
directly addressed to the diseased organs of the in
tegument. I do not advise the use of Medical In
halation of any kind, to the cxeluMou of general
treatment ; and although I consider it a useful ad
juvant in the proper management of thoso fearful
and often fatal discaa :s, yet I deem it very neces
sary that each patient should have the benefit of
both general and local treatment. The success of
my treatment in the above diseases, and the high
character of the Institution over which I hare so
long had the honor to preside, are too well known
to need any eulogy or comment from me. At the
solicitation of many private and professional
friends, through whose philanthropic aid the above
charity lias been long and liberally supported and
after duo consideration, 1 have concluded to make
such arrangements as will bring the benefits of my
experience and treatment within the reach of all,
and not confine myself, as heretofore, to those on
ly who entered the Infirmary, or who were able to
visit meat my office. Hoping therefore that the
arrangement will givo entire satisfaction, both to
my professional brethren and the public, I would
respectfully announce in conclusion, that 1 em
7iow be consulted personally or ly letter, on all dis
cases as above, and that the medicines, the same as
used in the Institution, prepared to suit each in
dividual case. Inhaling Vapors, Medical Iuh a
.ers. f-c, 1,-c , will bo forwarded by express to any
part of the United States or tho Canadas. Terms
My terms of treatment by letter are as follows,
viz: S12 per month for each puticnt, which will
include medicine sufficient for one month's use ;
also, Inhaling Vapor, and an Inhaling Apparatus.

MIE GREATEST BIOGRAPHY OF
THE AGE. NOW READY: THE
LIFE OF THOMAS JEFFEKSOJV. l.u lieu-
rti H. lii'inl'l1. LL. 1). lit 3 i'olnm:s. oe'tavu.
i bis work oon tains u p wards of 2,000 pages, is prin
ted on Cue paper, and handsomely bound in va
rious styles, it is illustrated by several engrav
ings on steel, and numerous far similes; among
the former are two fine portraits of Jefferson. The
facsimiles embrace, among others, the original
draft of the I'cclaration of Independence, in Jef
ferson's own hand-writing.
This is, in every sense, an authorized trort ; it
was undertaken under the approbation of his fam
ily, and with an unreserved access to all the pri
vate papers of Jefferson in their possession; and
has received the benefit of their recollections and
opinions at every step.
The work contains the expressions of Jefferson
on every great public question which nro-e. frotn
his advent to public life t his death a period of
about sixty years, and embracing the whole form
ing period of tho Republic, it contains Jeffer
son's heretofore unpublished family correspon
dence; selections from his finest published letters,
state papers, etc., etc , etc.
OPIXIOXS OF THE PRESS.
'No other Life of Jefferson ever published
probably none that ever vill be published can
bear any comparison to this in thorougncss, full
ness of incidcut and conscientious fidelity
This biography has evidently been a labor of love,
ai.d the years of patient, assiduous toil it has cost,
have been given with ungrudging, untiring enthu
siasm" Xei"- Tort Tribune.
"At length the public have a Life of Thomas Jef
ferson that is rot only fascinating, and therefore
sure to be popular, bu" one that will stand the es
sential historic test that of accuracy and truth
fulness. H is seen that tho ground-work of tho
whole is authentic cotempornry material, and of
the highest order. Together it has; been the work
of years. We would not compare this volume with
that inimitable and incomparable biography of
Roswcll, and yet so faithful is the portraiture that
Jefferson is made to draw of himself, that his na
ture, his very soul, is dcliniatcd with a distinct
ness not unlike that in which Johnson stands out
in the pages of lioswell.'" Boston, fort.
'Imbued with that enthusiastic admiration of
his subjet, without which a biographer is rarelv
successful, Mr. Randall nevertheless does not seek
to hide whatever faults ho may find, cither from
himself or from the reader. He prints the picture
as Cromwell insisted his should be painted, '-warts
and all." The picturo gains by this in life-like
coloring, without losing any of its majestic propor
tions." Albany Evening Journal.
'No one who runs his eye, however casually, o
ver this work, will fail to be satisfied that Mr. Ran
dall has added very largely to the stock of tho
world's information about Jefferson, that he has
had access to sources hitherto unexplored, and that
he has done more than was ever done by any ono
before him to illustrate tho personality of" that
great statesman." X. T. Erenrtig Post.
'Wc have read with delight Mr. Randall's cap
tivating details of Mr. Jefferson's personal history,
which he has seduously gathered, and admirably
grouped together, from a groat variety of authen
tic sources, hitherto unexplored. Out of the tempt
ing richness of his materials, the able and clear
sighted author has constructed a book, at once most
entertaining and instructive one that should bo
studied by every patriot of the land." Kiri
montl, Vu., Enquirer.
"There can be only one opinion as to the abili
ty, general impartiality and industry which Mr.
Randall has brought into combination in the com
position of this biography Ho has
worthily executed a much wanted book." PA.il
atlelphitt Press.
'It will take place among tho choicest classics
of American literature, and be consulted by eve
ry future historian of this country." Philadel
phia Evening Bulletin.
"We like it because it neither conceals, palliates,
exaggerates, nor distorts, but approaches, in every
instance, and in every particular, the career of
the noble character whose opinions have done so
much to shape the domestic and foreign policy of
the notion he contributed so greatly to call into
existence." X. O. Trim Djlta.

GREAT DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.
IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CIIEWERS.
Dr. Guslar Unnard's Tat Restorative Troches,
the Great Substitute for ToImcco. It is a well
known and incontrovcrtable fact that the use of
Tobacco is the promoting cause of many of the
most severe MEXTAL AXD PHYSICAL disorders
to which the race of man is subject, as cureful an
alasis and long and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it contaiasccrtain narcotic and poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their effocts,
which by entering into the blood derange the
functions and opcrationsof the Heart. causing ma
ny to snpposo thai organ to be seriously diseased.
TOBACCO affects also she entire nervous system,
manifesting itself as all who have ever used the
noxious weed will bear testimony in Lassitude.
Nervous Irritability, Water Brash, Dyspepsia, and
many other disorders of a similar character. The
"Taste Restorative Troches" are designed to coun
teract theso baneful influences, and havo proved
completely successful in a multitude of eases, and
wherever used. Being harmless in themselves
they exert a beneficial effect upon the entire sys
tem, restoring tho Taste which has become vitia
ted or destroyed by great indulgence, complete
ly removing the irritation and accompanying tick
ling sensation of tho Throat which are always
consequent upon abstaining from the use of To
bacco, and by giving a henltby tone to tho Stom
ach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches immediately and throw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobacco
Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges are put up in & con
venient and portable form at the low price of 50
cents per Box. A liberal discount to the Trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned to whom
all orders should be addressed.
