Last year the Senate stood- 8 Whigs to 17 loco
focos. Now the Whigs have 9 majority. Last
year the house stood G3 Whigs to 123 locos. Now
the Whigs have a majority, sufficient to secure the
election of a Whig U. S. Senator. The repre
sentation in Congress last year, was G Loco's and
2 Whigs now the Whigs have elected 5, the Lo
cos 2, and in one district there is no choice. Real
ly there does appear to be some cause for the
"crowing and Iragging" of the Whigs, however
unpleasant it may be to the ears of the Loco's.
The returns from Maine will be found in another
column. Why dont the Locos giye their readers
the returns from Vermont ? Have they " no news

Close Calculation.
We were amused at the calculation of the prob
ablo result of the Presidential election in this State,
made a few days since, as we are informed, by two
loco forco ex-members of the Legislature not a
thousand miles from this place. One of them, gave
it as his opinion, that Van Buren's majority in Penn
sylvania would be about 1000 the other, not quite
so sanguine, thought that it would not be quite so
much, but that it might reach 800. Don't quart el
gentlemen, the Tippecanoe boys will save you the
trouble of calculating majorities.
A correspondent of the New York Journal
of Commerce concludes a letter from Hallo-
well, Me., with the following anecdote of elec
tions: An incident occurred st the town election in
Ifallovreli yesterday, which is worthy of note.
A Loco-foco, who has figured in the Brandon
Bai.k transactions in Mississippi, but who now
resides in this town, came up to the polls with
a negro man, whom he had brought with him
from Mississippi anL attemPted to Set n h8
vote for the Van -Buren Governor. He did not
pretend that he had emancipated his slave, but
contended that in this state he became free by
being brought here by his master. The Se
lectmen rather hesitated to admit the vote of
the slave, and the idea of freemen being voted
down by slaves created so much excitement in
the hall that the democratic master atid slave
withdrew. In conversation, the master said :
" Sino is a true democrat he will vote just as
raassa says." This is said to be the best defi
nition of modern democracy extant. They
will vote just as massa says.

TEIiSAL i3J&E,.
Cleanse aud Sa?i'Iv tJte Body.
The Weather and its effects. One day we have
90 degrees of heat in the shade; the next 50. Thus,
one day the perspiration is streaming from every
J pore the next day all are nearly closed. Even
those who nave a healthy disposition ot body, are
subject to siekness under these circumstances.
Therefore to prevent any danger, we ought care
fully to guard against a COSTIVE STATE OF
OUli BOWELS. Once or twice they must be
evacuated in 24 hours. If this is not effected
naturally, medicine must be resorted to BRAN
DRETH'S PILLS must be taken: then there will
be no danger. Do not think that even a daily use
of these Pills will weaken or debilitate 1 They do
not. On the contrary, the functions of the stomach
are restored, the bowels cleansed and strengthen
ed ; the appetite and digestion improved. And
common sense tells us we are better able to with
stand continued heat, or sudden changes than we
shoulH be, were we oppressed by a load of impure
nuMons in the blood, always the occasion of every
variety of disorder. Often a sudden dysentery
occurs. Should there be a cause for this, and it
does not take place, then, the blood is made the
receiver of those humors, which should have been
discharged by the bowels. Under these circum
stances, which may be known by exceeding drow
siness, and great fatigue on the least exertion,
vegetable purging must be immediately and ener
getically practised, or these humors form a lining
or deposite in the blood vessels which may pro
duce epilepsy, apoplexy, consumption, &c &c.
It must be, however, borne in mind that even in
dysentery and disorders of the bowels, that BRAN
DETH'S PILLS are indispensable. They re
move those peceant humors which produce these
affections, before they have time to produce gan
grene or any other fatal effect.
Sometimes the blood is so loaded with humors
that it becomes in a fermentation, being that state
of the body called fever, which is nothing more
than an effort of nature to throw off all offending
matters. This is, in fact, a call upon Reason, to
assist the natural functions with purging medicine,
which, if properly answered, will soon evacuate
these foul humors, and restore the body to a state
of perfect health.
It is at all times easier to prevent than to cure
disease, because by taking a preventive couse we
do not debilitate the natural functions of the body,
but rather strengthen and assist them. The pe
culiar action of
Brandretlis Vegetable Universal Pflfc,
is to cleansd the blood from all impurnies, remove
every cause of pain or weakness, and
PRESERVE THE CONSTITUTION
in such a state of health and vigor so that casual
changes cannot effect it.
