A Bluiniiii Life Saved.
Dowagiac, Mich., Jlarch 11, 1850.
J. A. RII0DE, Esq. : Dear Sir As I took
your medicine to sell on consignment, no cure
no nav." I take pleasure in stating its elTects as
reported to me ny three brothers who live in this
place ,: and their testimony is a fair specimen of
all I have received :
W. S. Coxklis tcld 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 th&t degree that blood
discharged from my mouth and bowels, to 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. . Notning did me
any good until 1 got Rhodes' Fever and Ague
Cure which at once relieved me of the distress
and nausea at my stomach and pain in my head
ar.d bowels, and produced a permanent cure in a
-short time."
II. M. Cojcklin" says : " I had been been ta
king medicine of as good a doctor as" we have in
our count', 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. Conklin was not here, but both the other
brothers say his case was the virile as II. M's. I
sold the medicine to both the same day,.and the
cure was as speedy from the same small quantity
and I niight so specify, 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 havo. already published, and
the still greater amount that is continually pour--ing
in to mc.
One thing more. Last 3"ear I had occasion to
Caution the Public in these words:
' I notice one. firm icho hare taken one rf my
generiil circulars, substituted the name of the.ir
nostrum for nnj medicine, atvi then tcitli brazen
impudence emt their pamphlet tciUtJhe exclamation,
Let the proprietor rf any oilier medicine say as
much if lie dares." it-c.
Nofr I take pleasure iu 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 industrious 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. Chikon. of N. Y., in favor of its per
fectly HARMLESS CHARACTER, winch is at
tached to every bottle. These will always serve
to distinguish mv
medicine from imitations.

I31PO UTaXT TO LVEItlBODl.
FOR the last two or three years, I have been
engaged in a business known only to myself,
and, comparatively, a few others, whom I have
instructed for the sum of $200 each, which has
averaged mc at the rate of from $3,000 to $5000
per annum ; and. having made arrangements to
go to Europe in the month of August next, to
engage in the same business, I am willing to give
full instructtions in the art to any person in the
L'nited States or Canad?.s, who will remit me the
sum of 1. I am induced, from the success I
have been favored with, and the many thankful
acknowledgments' I have received from those
whom I have instructed, and who are making
from $o to $15 per day at it, to every person an
oppotunity to engage in this business, which is
easy, pleasant, and very profitable, at a small cost.
There is positively No Humbug in the matter.
References of the best class can be given as re
gards its character, and I . can refer to persons
whom 1 have instructed, who wul testify that
they are making from $5 to $15 per day at the
same. It is a business irt wnich either LADIES
or GENTLEMEN can engage, and with perfect
ease make a very handsome income. Several la
dies in various parts of New York State, Pennsyl
vania, and Maryland, . whom I have instructed,
are now making from $3 to $0 per day at it. It
is a GENTEEL BUSINESS, aud but a .FEW
SHILLINGS are required to start it. Upon re
ceipt of $1, I will immediately send to the appli
cant a printed circular containing full instructions
ihthp art, which caa be perfectly.; understood at
once. "'' ' . r

Letter from the Hon. Wra. B. Reed.
It affords us very great satisfaction to pub
lish the following sound and able letter from
our distinguished fellow-citizen, the Hon.
Wm. B. Ileed, in reply to an invitation from
the Democracy of Pittsburgh, to unite with
them in celebrating the late anniversary of
American Independence. We ask for it the
most careful consideration. It presents the
true questions now before the public mind,
with remarkable clearness and vigor. It is
hardly necessary for us to add that Mr. Heed
has been a leading aud influential member of
the late Whig party: r ;
. Philadelphia, June 30, 185G. 1
Gentlemen : I have had the honor to le-
ceive your letter of invitation. It would, I
assure you, give me great pleasure to have
the opportunity of saying to my fellow citi
zens of Allegheny county, why I support the
nomination of Mr. Buchanan earnestly and
actively." But my engagements here entirely
preclude it .1 should have peculiar satisfac
tion in being ' among you now, because my
last visit to. Pittsburg was on a very different
errand. I was there two years ago, as a mem
ber of, what was supposed to be the .Whig
State. Comiiiittee, with an earnest anxiety to
save from insyltand defeat your fellow-citizen ,1
George Darsiev"a man of high character and
unquestioned intcgriry. aud who, I thought,1
(and, the result showed how trulv.'Y.was about
to be sacrificed because his birthplace and very

you, but within the' next 'year I found myself
obliged by were r self xe,spectr to publicly rt6-

izens and I feel no little piide in .thci recbl--lection
that'I'did not wait till its momentof
decay and discomSture to express, my antago
nietu to that unoonstitutionaland anti-Tlepub-Iicau
party,' known as the Know Nothing Or-'
ganizafioii.""" When" Vl, said what "I thought
aboit it, it was iri its fall power of mischief J
It is not necessary to Epeak of it now;' --Its
honest adherents (and those werc.not a.fewf)1
are leaving it , Its ' managerfi, and designers
and contrivers," ought' never to be iforgiven for
haying disfigured the 'political history of the"
country by tradition J1, as it has how become of
a party, which proscribed a man's religion' ancl
rjrew" distinctions between"' thosi whoni:'tli9
Constitution and laws makVeqaal,1" ;'-J-i
Irdestrbyed'the old Whig party utterly and
completely ; and when I am now asked to vote
for 3Ir Fillmore, as still ?a ,Yhig,. or for .Mr..
Dooelsan as a Democrat, I cave, a plain an
swer, that, as I unherstand if each of These'
gentlemen became; an adhering Know Noth
ing, or a technical American," -passed thk
several degrees of the -order,- arid took.its fool
ish ind wicked oaths.. If .this be so--and it
lias been openly .asserted and never denied-,
if r. Fllmorei an, ex-Prcsi,ont of the United
Stages, ever toak an' oath or obligation to eic

sinlply on account of hi ."religion or Lirth ; if,
in taking that ohligation he bad to purge him-
sen irom an pv
ozMm or tiwi
respectable, then
an American citizen, vote for Mr. : Fillmore
There has died in this city, within the last
two mouths, one of our most venerable citi
zens, a resident here for more than half a cen
tury, though born abroad and a Roman Cath
olic. I followed him to his grave. II is whole
heart was loyal to his adopted, aud true to the
faith of his ancestors. Two of .his sons, my.
personal and political friends, professing the
same religious opinions with their father, for
years, represened this city in the Legislature
of the State with honor to themselves and their
ronstituency, and yet if they would find them
felres, bv this hew. ritual, proscribed and dis
qualified. I refer to this as' a most striking,
and to my Immediate fellow citizenf; familiar
illustration of. the practicable aud;" inevitable
fruits of this organization. Well may we be
grateful that a party, professing such princi
ples, has "passed away ! I beg your pardon'
for troubliug you even with this reference to
it. " '" - ''' -' :
Those who were once Whigs are now r.sk
ed to vote for Mr! Fremont and Mr. Day ton,
not as Whigs, but as iwhat are. called , He-,
publicans, for. it seems :to be., assured ,. Qand
nerhans history iustifies it.") that nothing is
easier than for a Whig to chahge his name.
If Le docs it in"w certain direction, and ! calls
himself a Know Nothing or a Kepublican- it
is all very well, but if he chooses, in the ex
ercise of a manly, discretion, stimulated by. a
local pride, to act with the Democratic-party,
as I certaiuly mean to do, there ' is"rio"end to
the denunciation be receives.'11' Mr Fremont,'
I do not know personally,-. and what ILjhave
read. of him iuduces me to J,hiuk;he is a gen
tleman .of. entire personal respectability, of j
ramonng and adventurous nanus oi inc. auu
of larire speculative - wealth. " 'My -"gallant
townsman Dr. Kane has done quite as mneh j
in the' way of. adventure, endured .as. ; much
hardship, gained as- large a scientific fame -in
the cause ef human 'charityj and yet 1 am
not aware that he' has "any Immediate aspira
tions for.the Presidency. He is not a rich
man and lives in Philadelphia; Mr.iDaytou
I know, and have knovvu long and well ; aud
among ali the asperities of. politics, it is very
pleasant to have the chance of' bearing testi
mony (valueless though it" may be,) to his
high, social and intellectual position; 'lie" is
worthy of every honor the nation can bestow
on him, although this time his fair ambition
cannot be gratified. Mr. Dayton stands on
the llepubiican platform, having within ten
years as a Senator voted against extending the
Missouri Compromise line to the Pacific Oce
an, and iu favor of the Wiimot proviso; on
the lust question, if I mistake not, recording
his vote agaiust those of Daniel Webster and
Henry Clay. ' Under these circumstances. I
see no especial claim this ticket has on Whig
fidelity. :.; . ' ,,.-. .': ;.. , j:- ..'..
But let me, in candor, ask how can any con
servative . or national man, especially any
Pcnusylvanian, vote for the llepubiican nom
inees This is a question 1 should be glad
to put and have auswered in your heariDg.-
The nomination was made in Philadelphia,
and I had some opportunity of observing tbe
influences under which it was made, and the
manner in which it has been received. .Had
the Convention been left to more disinterest
ed impulses, 1 it would havo nominated John
McLean, of Ohio, of whom it may at leastbe
said, he is a tried public. man.. ..Still, though
supported earnestly and heartilyifby Pennsyl
vania and perhaps for that very reason he
had lio chance he was first ' withdrawn and
then defeated. The managers and fanatics
had determined ou auother- uomiuec, and of
course Pennsylvania wasj defeated, heraicle-
gates sullenly firing guns of dismal acquies
cence over their buried candidate. Mr Fre
mont was nominated, and will be sustained 1
fear, by the fiercest and most sectional fanat
icism. 1 do "not care to refer to. individuals,
but uo ouo will question that the leading and
most active wen iu that convention, wero gen
tlemen who are proud to call themselves "Ab
olitionists. You know the opinions of the

A farmer belonging sotnewhere in Iowa ;
bought a keg of whiskey and carried it home
WeU knowing that his better half occasionally -took
a ' drop or so, if it came in the wayand
now and then would have a drop at all events,
he then endeavored to conceal the keg from
her by suspending it in the barn somewhero
near the ridge pole ' The" eagle eyed, of
rather ' Hawkeycd' 'wife got sight of it, how-
ever and resolved upon obtaining a taste." It ;
was impossible for her to reach it. At length
she hit upon the following expedient, which
worked to a charm. " Taking down her hus
band s riflp, she put in a charge with a good
ball, and taking a -delib rate aim at the keg, ,
ft.-7eMt: with -a -ball .-and brougt down the &
ithiskcy at the first -shot .JIaviug a tub. pre- i
viou.Iy prepared, she , was - thus enablod to
catch all, without loosing a drop, aud left her
