A. RHODES, Eso,. : Doar Sir As I took your medicine to sell on consignment, no cure no pay," I take pleasure in stating its effects as reported to me by three brothers who live in this place, and their testimony is a fair specimen of all I have received : W. S. Coxklix told me " I had taken nine bottles of Christie?s Ague Balsam, and continual ly run down while using it until my lungs and liver were Congested to that degree that blood discharged from my mouth and bowels, so that all thought it impossible for me to live through another chill. The doctors to did all they could for me, but thought I must die. Nothing did me any good until I got Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure which at once relieved me of the distress and nausea at my stomach and pain in my head and bowels, and produced a permanent cure in a short time." II. ii. Coxklix says : " I had been been ta king medicine of as good a doctor as we have in our county, and taken any quantity of quinine and specifics without any good result, from 25th August to 17th December. But seeing how nice ly it operated on my brother, I got a bottle of RHODES' FEVER AND AGUE CURE, which effected a permanent cure by using two thirds of a bottle." S. M. Coxkmx was not here, but both the other brothers say his case was the same as II. M's. I pold the medicine to both the Fame day, and the cure was as speedy from the same small quantity and I might so specifv, Yours with respect, A. HUNTINGTON. The above speaks for itself. Good proof as it is, it is of no better tenor than the vast number of like certificates I have already published, and the still greater amount that is continually pour ing in to me. One thing more. Last year I had occasion to Caution the Public in these words : ' notice one f rin ichn hare taken one of my general circulars, suhstituitd the name of their nostrum for vvj ntixlieine, and then icith brazen impudnnce end their pamphlet with the exclamation, Let the proprietor rf any other medicine say as much if he dares." Now I take pleasure in saying that the Cau tion referred to the same " Dr. Christie's Ague Balsam " that is mentioned in the above cer tificate. There are several other inuustrious people who are applying to their poisonous trash all that I publish about my fever and Ague Cure, or Anti dote to Malaria, except the Certificates of Cures, and the Certificate of the celebrated Chemist Dr. James R. Chilton of X. Y., in favor of its per fectly HARMLESS CHARACTER, which is at tached to every bottle. These will always serve to distinguish inv medicine from imitations. J AS. A. RHODES, Proprietor.

" Then come, dearest come, where thy soul may be free, As the pure breeze that wafts o'er the marginless sea : We'll sport on life's stream as we gently pass o'er it, And feel cot the breeze as we're gliding before it."

SPEECH Oflloti. Steplicn 4. IJougluss at tlic Great liatiiicatioii Meeting at ifiilale!iliia Fellow-Democrats : I have before me a sure guarantee of that triumph which certain ly awaits us at the polls in this election. When on any former occasion, was there ever such a dense mass of Democratic voters as sembled to ratify the nominations for the Pre sidency and Vice Presidency? This vast as semblage, which may be measured by the acre, rather than counted by thousands ! It shows the deep and heartfelt interest which the people of this country feel in the uiomen tuous contest in which we have just emerged. Never since that memorable contest of 1800 which resulted in the election of the immortal Jefferson, has there been a time when issues, so pregnant with good or evil to our institu tions, have been, presented as in the one which is now before vs.' ' Great questions of foreign policy, great questions of domestic policy ; questions fraught with the most intense Im port arc now before us. In our foreign policy there is a question which involves in its settlement the peace, the perpetuity of this glorious llepublic. .It is simply a question whether the principle of self-government uponwhich all our institu tions rest, shall be maintained in tho States and Territories of this Union, subject on ly to the limitations of the Constitution of the United States. Cheers and loug ap plause Hurrahs for Squatter Sovereignty. The Cincinnati Convention has performed its duty honorably, wisely, and patriotically, upon all points presented to them. ' It has presented to the country a platform which commands the hearty approbation of everv sound national man in the country ; and it has presented candidates for the Presidency and Vice- Presidency, worthy of the platform on which they stand. Those nominations have been made, and that platform has been adopt ed by a unanimous vote receiving the vote of every delegate from every' State of this great aud glorious Republic. Shall it be hereafter said that tho Demo cratic party is not a National party? What other party ever existed in this country vhich could proclaim its creed by an unanimous vote. A creed to be construed alike in Penn sylvania and Virginia, in New York an'? Geor gia, in Ilhuois and Louisiana, in the North and the South, in the Hast and the West. Wherever the Constitution reigns, there the Democratic creed is one and theTsame. It is a creed that can command the faith and sup port of every Democrat aye, and of eveiy old line Whig who is true to the principles of Clay and Webster. It is to be remarked, and never to be for gotten, that in 1850 the leaders the cham pions of the " true grit" political party your Clays and your Webstcrs, your Casses and your other patriots of tho Democratic party united in 'agreeing upon a common creed in respect to this vexed question of sla very, which should becommoa alike to Whigs and to Democrats. Wc agreed theu, thai wo might quarrel and differ as much as we pleased in respect to banks and tariffs, and public lands, and other questions of expediency ; but upon that great vital question, upon those fundamental prin ciples which involve the integrity of the Con stitution, the stability of the Union, all pa triots of all parties and all shades of opinion would agree that the great principle of State equality and self-government, under the Con stitution were paramount to all party conflicts land party differences. Hence, in 1852, when the Whig party assembled in their national convention, to present candidates to the coun Vy for their suffrages, they resolved that the principles of the compromise of 1850 should be firmly, steadily and honestly carried out; when the Democracy assembled at Baltimore and presented our ticket for tho same offices, we passed resolutions to the same effect. Whigs and Democrats agreed on the great platform involving the Slavery issue, the question of State rights the question of the right of self-government in the territories. After the great triumph of 1S52, it became my duty as the organ of the Senate upon that question to report the Kansas-Nebraska Bill Great cheering. The Cincinnati Conven tion has said, by a unanimou3 vote, that the great principles of State rights and popular sovereignty, embraced in the compromise of 1850, endorsed by the Whigs in National Convention of 1852, affirmed by the Democ racy in the election of Gen Pierce of 1852, were rightly applied in the organization of Kansas and Nebraska in 1854 I ask, then, what Democrat can depnrt from the faith of the party, as proclaimed at Cin cinnati, without repudiating the long cherish ed principles which he as a member of the party, has advocated from the time that he came on the stage ? And I ask further, with emphasis, what Whig, what disciples of the immortal Clay or the god-like Webster can de part from the principles embraced in the com promise measure of 1850, and re-asserted in the Nebraska bill, without repudiating the principles to which every Whig stood pledged in the election of 1852 ? If a man vas an honest Whig then, in or der to be consistent, he must vote for James Buchanan now; if a Whig believed that the great Compromise measures of 1850 were right then, he must carry out the platform of the Cincinnati Convention now, in order to be true to tha memory of the great Ctay, and the great Webster, whose last great act was to adopt those measures. Great cheering. Yet you will find men who have proven fu!v to Whig portv-, yth which they once acted, and have gone into the secret Lodges of Know-Nothingisra, taunting Whigs for not following them into thess dark places. I ask you, can a Whig join the Know-Nothing Order or connect himself with the Black Republican party, without repudiating all the principles which the Whig party has advoca ted for years? Hence the Cincinnati Con vention acted wisely and properly when they asked all men to co-operate with them in their principles, and to unite in the election of their nominees now, without reference to past po litical differences. We are told by the allied enemies, com posed of Black Republicans, Know-Nothings and '.he other affiliated evils, that the Demo cratic party are to be condemned because of our policy in regard to Kansas Territory. I ask you to observe for one moment what has happened in Kansas and Nebraska? Those iwo territories were organized by the same hw. In Nebraska, where there has been no foreign interference, where Abolitionism has not conducted its operations, to which the Emigrant Aid Society did not extend its cO'ortr there is nothing but peace and quite. Ou the other hand, in Kansas, where Abolitionism has appeared, where the Emigrant Aid Socie ty attempted to control the people, you find viobnee, and discord, and rebellion against the laws of the land. Do not these two facts sho that the principles of the Nebraska bill was right ? The only difficulties that have occurrcdj have arisen from the fact that the opponents of the measure were determined to not give the bill a fair chance. If 3'ou will examine into these facts, you wUl fiud that the allegations have not oue par tide of ground on which to stand. Our prin ciples are the principles of the Constitution; tbey aro the principles of latr and order, of peace and quiet. Our remedy for existing eils in Kansas, is that the Constitution and laws shall prevail. Wo are the advocates of tie supremacy of the laws ; our opponents are t',ie advocates of lawless violence aud rebellion against the constituted authorities of the coun try. One of the great questions now to bo decided is whether the law shall prevail or whether violence shall triumph ; and the deci sion of that question is involved in the election which is now to take place. In regard to this present election, our ene mies are in the habit of asking the question : IIow can James Buchanan stand upon the platform which has been made for Us at Cin cinnati? I ask, and I do it with emphasis, how can James Buchanan, with his autece dents, stand on any other platform than the one made at Cincinnati? Our opponents have been in the habit of saying that they have made a Douglas platform, and then put Bu chanan on it. I ask you to examine this mat ter for a moment, and you will find that James Buchanan and mj-self occupy identically the Fame position, and have done bo for years, on this slavery question, in all its phases. In 1840, when Mr. Wilmot, of Pennsyl vania, proposed the Wilmot Proviso, I, then inutile House of Representatives, proposed as a substitute, to extend tho Missouri Line to the Pacific Ocean. You all remember, that in October, 1847, James Buchanan wrothis celebrated "Harvest Home Letter," at Berks county, and in that, proposed to extend that lino to the Pacific ocean, as the dividing line between slavery and freedom. He did not Maintain then that the Missouri Compromise fras founded on sound or wise principles, but Ending it oa tho statute book, rather than hazard the peace and harmony of the country, he was . willing to close the controversy forever by extending it to the Pacific, rather than to raise sectional strife even to carry out a sound priuciple. Acting on that same theory, in August, 1848, I proposed in the Senate of the United States, a law to extend the Mis souri line to the Pacific ocean, in the earue sense and with the same understanding, with which it was originally adopted. That prop osition passed the Senate and was voted down in the House of Representatives. Had the policy of Buchanan, as proposed in the "Har vest Home letter," then prevailed the same policy whioh I advocated in tho law of 1848 there would hve been an end of this sec tional controversy forever. Who is responsi ble for the defeat of the proposition to extend that line to the Pacific ? Certainly not James Buchanan certainly not myself certainly not the Democratic party. The men who were responsible for that were the Abolition ists, the Free Soilers, the present anti-Nebraska men of the country. They then told us that the Missouri law was an infamous measure; said that if slavery was right cn the south side of the line, it was right on the north side. They said if it was right to leave the people to do as they pleased on the south of J10.30, it was right to grant them the same privilege north of G.30. They j said they would agree to any measure but that infamous measure, the Missouri Compro mise. By the defeat of the expression of tho Missouri Compromise line in 1S48, as propo sed by Mr. Buchanan in his Harvest Home letter as proposed by myself in the United States Senate, the country was plunged into a whirlpool of dangers of sectional agitation and sectional controversy which lasted from 1848 to 1850. That controversy was the result of the defeat of the proposition to extend the Mis souri Compromise line as proposed by Mr. Buchanan, and introduced by myself. In 1850 the controversy had rsged to such an extent that the best men in the land trem bled for the fate of the Republic. Evcu the immortal Clay, who, after a long life of patri otic publie services, bad retired to the shades of Ashland to prepare himself for another and a happier existence. There in his retirement he heard the mutterings of the approaching storm hoard the angry voices of discord brea thing sectional hatred and sectional strife, un til he felt bound to come out of his retirement into the Senate of the United States, the scene of his greatest triumphs and proudest services, to see if he, 1y his age, bis experience, hw counsel, could not do something to calm the troubled wrters, and restore peace aod quiet to a disturbed community. FYom the moment when Clay appeared in the Senp.te, all party strife was hushed, patri otic feelings subdued factious resistance ; Clay became the leader of all the Union men of the country. He had the great and immortal Cass, whom you have heard to-night, for his right hand man, and the god-like Webster for the left, and there ranged around him all the patriotic Union men, Whigs and Demo crats united by a common object, animated by a common spirit, and that was, to restore peace to the country, to quell the sectional strife that abolitionism and free soi!:.-:;n Lai nroduced. in consequence of defeating the proposition of Mr Buchanan to extend the j Missouri line t the Pacific ocean. For live long months we assembled in the Council room each morning to plan the operations for that day to head off faction to suppress combi nation against the institutions of the country; and there wo arranged steo by step the prop ositions until thev resulted in the adoption of '?e measures known as the Compromise Meas- ; ures of 1850. You all remember with what shouts and re joicings the passage of those measures was re ceived throughout the country. You all re collect the groat meeting you then held here in Philadelphia, composed of Whigs and Dem ocratsUnion men of all parties who ap proved of the settlement which was made by those measures of that vexed question ; and now lot me remind you, my friends, that among the proudest productions of that meeting here in fact the chief ornament of that meeting ;3 the letter of James Buchanan to that meeting congratulating the country upon the restoration of peace by the establishment of the great principles of the Compromise meas ures of 1850. Thus we find that Mr. Bu' hanan was among the first to approve of those measures. He had been for the Missouri line so had I. We tried to carry it out and were voted down. Failing in that we took the nextbest measure, and succeeded in that, and, fortunately for the country, that measure was a return to the true principles of the Constitution of the Uni ted States, as the great Washington, Madison, Hamilton and Franklin, and other sages for med it in that Hall. From 1850, having re turned to tho Constitution, having abandoned all of these patchwork compromises, which were outside of the Constitution. James Bu chanan ha stood firm and immovable by those principles. In 1854. it became my duty to rcpoit bills to organize Kansas and Nebraska, on the principles laid down in 1850, endorsed by the Whigs; endorsed by tho Democracy; sanc tioned by Mr. Buchanan's letter to the Phila delphia Ratification meeting ; and I brought in tho Nebraska Bill in the form that it now stands, from the statute, book. (Cheers ) That bill passed the Senate by a majority of the Whig pirty then in the body, also by a majority of the" Democratic Senators receiving the votes of a majority of tho Southern Sena tors, and a!so of a majority of all the Nor thern senators ; and yet we are told tlie conn senators ; and yet we are to;a tne conn is betrayed in the passage of that bill, ce, "no such thing.") betrayed by ? Betrayed by a majority of the North? try was (a voice whom ? Betrayed bv the whole South? Betrayed by a majority of iho Democrats? Betrayed j by a majority of tho Whigs and that t.w. in j carrying out a principle to which every Whig j and every Democrat iwo yearn previouf-lj had pledged bis honor to carry out in good faith: The fact is. that these Old Line Democrats who stood immovable by tho principles of that bill, were true to their pledges, true to their instincts, true to those immortal Demo cratic principles which we all love and cherish ; and thoso Whigs too, then and now, stand firmly and proudly by these same principles embraced in the Nebraska bill, stand where Clay stood, where Webster stood ; by the prin ciples that were consecrated by the death of Clay, and in the grave of Webster. Old Line Whigs are now asked to abandon the faith of their party; they are asked to repudi ate the priuciples of Clay when yet the grass is hardly grown over his grave ; they are as ked to repudiate the great Constitutional principles of Webster, while -et his family are wearing the weeds of mourning, and they are asked to do this in order to join with thosa who cot only despise the Whig leaders, but denounce a Washington, a Jefferson, and a Madison, and all the great patriots, in conse quence of their having lived in the Southern instead of the Northern section of the coun- tfy- . . "It is simply a proposition to be decided whether we shall be governed by sectional lines or Constitutional principles. The poli iey of the Abolitionists is to array the North against the South section against section State against State until civil war and disu nion shall be the consequence. I ask, ara you prepared to engage in such a controver sy ? Are you prepared to imbrue your hands in a brother's blood? Voices "never, never." Did our Fathers of the Revolution make any distinction between a Northern and a Southern army? ("No, no.") When they made a Constitution, was there any line drawu between a Northern and a Southern Patriot ; and are we now, when the Constitution is as sailed, to enquire whether it has been assailed on its Southern or its Northern border ? What matters it to me if that great instrument is assailed, whether it be upon a point that af fects the rights of the South or the rights of the North ? It is enough for me to know that that great palladium of American Liberty has been rudely touched by a sacrilegious hand. I ask, if a foreign enemy should land au armv here to invade our country, would you stop to enquire whether the invasion was made upon the line of the Northern Lakes, or upon the Gulf of Mexico, or upon the Pacific const? Would, it change your patriotism whether it was a Northern or a Southern invasion ? (No, no.) Then, why will you hesitate, when the Constitution is infringed, to enquire whether the infiingement is upou the Southern man's rights, or the Northern nians rights? Our motto is : " The Constitution as it is; the U uion as it was made, as it is now. and as it shall be in the future," and these are the principles endorsed on the platform of the Cin cinnati Convention. All men who believe in the integrity of the Constitution, and the perpetuity of the Union, aro asked to rally under these principles which are essential to the preservation of either. Can any sectional party, animated with sec tional prejudices, safely be entrusted with the preservation of this Ujion ? Cries of "no. no " Has any other party sloughed offall its isms, aud received the reformed, regenerated, puri fied principles which ensures the preservation of the Union, like the Democratic party ? Haa any other party such claims to nationality. What other party has assurance enough t cross either the Potomac or the Ohio, and car ry their principles foremost on their banners ? Aud yet you are asked to trust a party whose? sole aim is disscntion instead of combination, hostility instead of fraternity, disunion instead of UnioD. Now, my friends, these principles, these is sues are all involved in the present election. Never had an American so much to animate his soul and inspire his patriotism, as in this contest. With a platform that is our our own, expressing our principles, cherishing and sus taining air our feelings and desires ; prinei pies which ensure peace and domestic traquil ity at home, and whose policy, if carried out will command respect and honor abroad. With a compact so formed, can even calumny itself, with its thousand heads, dare to stain the pri vate character of cither ? With Buchanan as our leader, and gallant young Breckinridge second in command, we have a representation which commands tho entire respect of the whole country. Let mo say to you, believe uot that in supinencss wo cau achieve an easy victory. Do not be lulled into indifference aud lethargy ; but remenber that our enemy is an arch fiend, who hus sown hatred, discord, heresy pnd schisms among men. Brethren, without the name, and dres sed in different guises in each separate local ity in one place a Native American uling America by Americans in another, a Black Republican in another an Abolitionist in another, a Free Soiler, aud in another an Anti-Nebraska man changing his name and his colors wherever he goes but ha is the same insidious enemy of Democracy wherever ho may be found, and whatever his name. Ap plause I have often said and now repeat, th.it all of these uuTercRt factions and these factionista are akin to each other. They will fuse and. act together when the time of election comes. That's so. Ilcnec we have to fight them as an allied army, and when we get the Democ racy in a line, with such an army to back us as we have to-night, with the Know-Noth-ingsaud Abolitionists.and all the other schisms in front of us, I tll you rake them down. I care not which of them you hit. (Ap plause.) Oar object is not only to elect our men but to bury Abolitionism, with all its concomitant evils, so deep in the grave tht there will be no resurrection for them.. Wa ask you for a majority that will be recorded upon the eternrl pagos of history. We wish the Keystone State to pile up such a majority on the top of the key of the arch as will for ever keep it firm and irara e U it iif flare.
