Dowauiac, Mich., March 11, 185G."
J. A. BJ10DES," Eoj. : Dear Sir As I took
your medicine to sell ou consignment, " no cure
no pay," I take pleasure in stating its etllcts 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. Cox klix 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 thotight 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 mc
any gHi until L 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.
H. M. Conki.in" says : "I had been teen ta
king mediciue of as good a doctor as we have in
our county, and taken any quautity of quinine
and specifics without any good result, from 25th
August to 17th December. But seeing how nice
ly it ouerated 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.- Cosklis was not here, but both the other
brothers say his case was the same 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 might so specify, Y'ours with respect,
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself. Good proof as it
is, it is of no Utter tenor than the vast number
of like cet tilleates I have already published, and
the still greater amount that is continually pour
ing in to n:Ci
Ono thing more. Last year I had occasion to
Caution the Public in these words :
" I notice one firm itho have taken one of my
general circulars, subslifutol the name of their
nostrum for my medicine, and then tcith brazen
impudence end their pamphld tcithjhe exclamation,
" Let the proprietor vf any other medicine say an
much if he dares." 0,-c.
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 ure several other irnlustrious people who
are applying to their poisonous tiash all that I
publish about my fever and Ague Cure, or Anti
dote to Malaria, except the Certificates of Cures,
anJ the Certificate of the celebrated Chemist Dr.
James It. Chilton of N. ., in favor of its per
fectly HARMLESS CHARACTER, which is at
tached to every bottle. These will always serve
to distinguish mv medicine from imitations.

PiriLADELPiiiA, July 2Cth 185G
Gentlemen Absolute inability to speak in
the open air will prevent me from uuit'ng in
your Mass Meetings on the 7th of August,
for I am very sure you will not be able to com
press within any room built by hands all who
will be with you in doing honor to Mr Du
chanan. Trankliu county if I mistake not,
was his birth place. Thence he started to
win his way in life, and those, and the chil
dren of tho.sc. amongst whom he was born,
will gladly and resolutely come forward ro
sustain him now. The intelligent, thrifty
men of vour county ucccudarits of the robust
Scotch. Irish end German pioneers of the
Cumberland Valley, will not be wanting at a
crisis when civil and religious liberty and the
Union of the States are endangered. To the
multitude which will be sure to assemble tliere
I could not speak much as I wish it but
my written words of sympathy and encourage
ment of earnest anxiety for the success of
the Democratic ticket at both the approach
ing elections, (one scarcely less important
than the other,) I cannot withhold. I shall
have my abundant reward if they influence a
single reader. Take them, t beg you, for
what they arc worth. They are at least sin
cere and disinterested,
I have f-onie associations'with Franklin
county which are peculiar. I have had fricuds
there, in public and private life who, 86 co
temporaries, were dear to me, and as my sen
iors, honored inc by their counsel. Many of
them have passed away though some are still
surviving. I was in the Legislature, on the
same side of politics too, for I am not s
sliained of my antecedents, and you would
despise rut? were I to deny them with David
Fullerton and Thomas G. McCullok and I
am very sure, if ihfy were alive now, they
would be neither Know-Xothiugs nr Aboli
tionists, I servedtong with Thomat Carwon,
of Mcrcersburg, an honest and independent
mau. and if (here be anyone whose private
worth and dignified public integrity, I have
been taught especially to respect, it ie he wiio
still live3 honored and esteemed among you
George Chambers. These are the personal
associations which affect rnc May I allude to
some others.
I remember, years ago, on a bright pum
mer's afternoon, toiling up the turnpike road
on the Cove mountain, in your county, and
when I reached the summit, turning to gaze
on as beautiful sccue as ever , gladdened my
eye the valley of peaceful beauty which
stretches off to Maryland and towards to Po
tomac. ; It la a familiar scene to most of you.
To me it was new, and its impression has
never faded from my mind. As far as the
eye could reach, there was fertility the figna
of tranquil industry; all was beautiful all
was peaceful it looked, as it vras, like the
abode of a happy and united people. The
political line, separating Pennsylvania from
Maryland, traced by those old fashioned sur
veyors, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon,
was invisiblo to no eye. The trees on which
they marked it had long been felled or dis
appeared. Many a farm was separated by it,
but, except' in the eye of the law, no one
knew it or cared about it. I have often for
painful thoughts arc thrusting themselves up
on me recalled that scene of actual beauty
and united interest, and realized what it would
be what your condition will be what must
be the condition of every county of this Com
monwealth lying on th M&rjiand line r Ches
ter, Lancaster, York, Adams, Franklin, Ful
ton, Bedford. Somerset, Fayette and Greene;
if disunion be forced on us, and the fracture
be, as it would be, between what are popular
ly but falsely called the free and the slave
States, fcStween us and Maryland.. I wish
every man could be made to understand what
a frontier is. even that of civilized life. It3
daily, hourly vexations and dangers its line
of custom-houses to keep the smuggler in and
out the crowds of fugitives from justice and
labor, infesting every avenue and conceded
in every thicket the murderer striking down
his victim to-day and flying with the fresh
blood on his hand to . a Toreign territory to
morrow the biekerincr. the strife, the hot
rbhS -of; cotiteriiHEOK "-dispute fdl -this
would be the daily doom of every Southern
county of this State ; and across the beauti
ful valley I have spoken of would be distress
ingly visible, the actual, broad, perhaps
bloody line which disunion must trace. 'This
is true though hard to conceive. Pcnnsylva
nians, and you, citizens of Franklin county,
have so long reposed in the very centre of the
Union, that you cannot under.'tand how you
become a frontier and how you will suffer
when you do.
. There was a time, before the Union was
framed, unless my reading of history much
misleads me, when these fancied dangers
were realities. Let the Union be broken,
and they will be realities again. I read in
the history of your own county (and it ap
plies to every border county) words which it.
is well to think of, for they may become truth
again to-morrow:
'It surpassed," says a writer, " the pow
ers of the settlers to curb the wild and law
less spirit of the traders and frontiers men
The Conocoehcaque settlements were infested
with bands of desperate marauders and coun
terfeiters, who bade defiance to all laws. They
had an organized line through the Cumber
land Valley into Virginia They drove a
brisk trade by stealing horses and catlle. Af
ter the British retired, they carried on an ex
tensive trade amongst themselves by stealing
horses at the South ; passing them along the
line to the North where they could not be re
cognized, and exchanging them for others sto
len at the North. The long narrow valleys
and secluded coves of the Blue Mountain af
forded a convenient route and secure hiding
places. These were no shabby villains : they
wore the finest dresse?, sported the best hor
ses, and could display more jewelry than any
others in the fccttlements, and though the
source of their sudden wealth was suspected,
no one dared to prove it against them. When
not engaged in stealing, they resorted to
counterfeiting Continental money, and saun
tering round the towns, passed it on travelers.
If any one resisted or threatened to bring
them to justice, his barn or crops tverc des
troy cd by fire." This is history, aud why may
ituot become history again ? It is the Union
and the Constitution alone which prevent it
and you are asked to put them at risk.
Ibis is no rhetorical exaggeration. It is
the sure fore-cat of an inevitable truth and J
I exaggerate as little when I say, that never
until now, have 1 Kit tne danger or cisunion
to be imminent. I tremble, in do imaginary
panic, but on sober conviction, when I think
how near it may be how sure in one event
it must be. Let me in temperate and guard
ed languare say why I think there is danger
and how Mr. Buchanan's election can alone
avert it.
Thefc no lies before me a3 I write, a few
words of prophetic wisdom, written long be
fore the present divisions of parties arose,
which are very striking. They are the words
of John C. Fremont's father-in-law : ' The
substitution," says 3Jr. Benton in the early
pages of his " Thirty Years," " of geograph
ical parties discriminated by the slave line
would, of course, destroy the just aud proper
action of the federal government, and lead
evr utually to the separation of States." " If,"
wrote Mr. Madison nearly forty years ago,
when the danger was very far oft", a state cf
parties should arise founded on geographical
boundaries, what is to control these great re
pulsive masses from awfjl hhocls agai.ist each
other?" Now if tbee be word of .wisdom,
if such are to be the probable coasequenees
of geographical partiea strictly drawn, may
not ihe trial of -the Uniou Le at Land ? In
speaking of geographical parties, no sane man
means to Fay or ever lias aid, that the mere
fr.ctof the Candidas for President and Vice
President on a ticket, being from oae section
of the country, make a party scctkual or ge
ographical. "Our political hisfory shows this
iinot ko and itn.ay admit of tome question,
(Mr. Fremont's residence being rather ambu
latory,) whether his is in this sanse a section
al parly now No one yet knowa exactly
where the Vice President is to bail froo
But that which makes a parcy sectional and
geographical, is the principle which uoderlays
it, the influence that controls it the aggre
gate men that compose it, the flags that are
flying over it ; and looking at them now, when
was there a party more intensely an J malig
nantly sectional,, and more offensively geo
graphical thau that which in the last coinage
of counterfeits, dares to call itself .Republican.
I have not time, Boris the work congenial to
my taste,-to point to the proof of this, so far
as individuals are concerned. 1 here is not a
leading Abolition agitator in Pennsylvania
who is not enrolled in the P.epublican ranks.
You know it in your neighborhood. I sea it
in mine. The campaign is eoa lceied on pure
ly Abolition principles, and those principles
are avowed to" be, hostility to Southern inter
ests and insult to Southern fecliags Nay,
further : so confessed is this seciicnalism, that
thisllepublican party does not pretend t9 ask
a single electoral vote, or venture to circulate
on an electoral ticket South of Pennsylvania.
Jt is meant to be an absolute triumph of the
North over the South. Nothing lew will sat
isfy those who control it.
Now when it is said or foretold that to this
the South cannot submit, and that in this re
fusal, the Union break asunder; I apr-!
candid conservative men in the North, is there
not reason in it ? If the converse of the prop
osition could be stated, would the North fub
mit? Certainly not, aDd that which is called
disorganising rebellion and treason now, would
be honorable resistance then. It is painful to
write or talk about such things, but vre can
not shut our eyes to them. An ivxecutlve ad
ministration elected on the principles of the
Republican party, and influenced by its cr5ir
its, could not organize itself and when the
hour of distraction and disunion come3, it will
require a wiser and calmer intelligence lhan
fanaticism can furnish to compose the storm
a hand stronger than that of an adyentirer to
hold the helm
The danger is before... us and.Brcvnd nc.
A3 a citizen of the North, I have sought to
conceal it from myself, but it will not down
at my bidding. I do not draw this inference
ironi the language of extreme men; but when
L near a fcenator ironi xventueky a

.'M.J
benator a moderate and conservative man,
Avithin this month, in his place in the Senate,
say "I have never paid much attention to
the talk about a dissolution of the Union :
but I have often thought on the subject, and
my conviction is that the election of Fremont,
or any mau of . that party, is the knell cf the
Union." rspeeeb, of Thomson. Natiocal In
telligencer, July. 17.) When such words as
these are uttered, not by the heated South,
but by the temperate and loyal West, wo have
a right to say there is danger and very great
danger too. The South on this subject of the
Piesidency, is not violent or loud, hut its si
lence is very ominous and most impressive
Mr. Buchanan stands before the nation
nndtliis is the ground over which conservative
men should come to ids support as the rep
resentative of the principle which alone can a
vert thiir evils, that of repressing extirpation
of all agitation on this subject of slavery, let
it come from what quarter it may. He Las
said in simple and earnest language, that it
will be his aim. It must for the good of the
nation coma to an end. It can be put an end
to, by the strong moral power which a nation
al man can exercise, aud at a time when the
relations of the Union are not disturbed but
harmonised and reconciled by the expression of
the popular will, rebuking" decisively fanati
cism of any sort; arid this rebuke the North
ern and Middle Stte3 are bound to give.
Without this co-operation, Mr. Buchanan may
strive, and strive successfully to stay this noi
sy current of political agitation. With it
uls success is ea.-y. and tne peace of the nation
is secured, It is the conviction of this aside
altogether fioui regard that has brought me
and thousands like me to his support.
I'or a Penasvlvania mau for one whore
earlier: lesson was reverence for
it
principle which William Penn enunciated,
and whosa habits of thought and education
make him adverse to secret or intolerant po
litical organization, there was no other path
open.
'peot.de
lcat into whie'i some lneonsiuerate
re now seduced, of what is known as
the " American" organization, can have no
attraction for me or any conservative man.
Believing as I do, that Mr. Filliiiore took
more than oae initiatory oath iu a K new
Nothing Ledge, by which he bound himself
to proscribe politically his fel'ow-cilizon who
professed one form of christian faith, and those
who happeued to have been born abroad, and
to c nform Lis opinions and regulate his polit
ical action by the decision of a secret, oath
lound, polttical club, I cannot vote for him.
My antipathy to this secret aud unconstitu
tional organisation" is no new feeling ; I spoke
it out long ago; I shall never change it. As
one cf the leaders of this party of intolerance
;.is oae who gave to it the authority of his
name and past position. I hold Mr. Fillmore
responsible for a deep wound to the c;:use of
political morality If there is one thing about
which "the people .of this country are and
ought to be sensitive, it is their right to wor
ship God as they please. They claim to wor
ship God under such forms of ecclesiastical
discipline rs they choose to enforce upon t'.'.em
selves, with fcuch ceremonial, simple or elab
orate, as they please, on such days and in
such places csthey choose for themselves, and
this great jrlvilege of religious duty, the
ConsLitdtion gua.dsand protects. It is equal
ly the privilege of alb There is not a Pro
tectant who is not as much interested in guard
ing this constitutional right as the Catholic
Christians whom Mr. Fillmore, aud his secret
confederates, have sworn to proscribe. It
was, I repeat, the worst wound ever ioSicte 1
on political morality in this country, when
these secret oath-bound associations of reli--io'js
intolerance were created. It was a sd
spectacle when a statesman like Mr Fillmore

Gov. Wise, of Virginia, delivered an ora
tion on the 4th, in which he thus described
the last moments cf Washington :
He died as he lived, and what a beauti
ful economy there was in his death ! Not a
faculty was impaired, not on error had marred
the moral of his life. At sixty six, not quite
three score years and ten, he was taken away
whilst his example was perfect. He took cold
fclighted the symptoms saying 'let it go as it
came.' In the morning of the 14th Decem
ber, 1799, he felt severe illness; called in h:s
overseer, Mr Kawlings, to bleed him.
" lie was agitated, and Washington said to
him, 'don't be afraid.' When about to tie
up. his arm,, as . aaidwith. difficulty."? more.
Afkr all efforts had tailed, ha designated the
paper he meant for his will, then turned to
iooias Lear and aii, 4 I end I am going;-
; my breath cannot eontmud long
I believed
from the urst it would be fatal. Do vonar-
raoge and record all my military letters and
papers; arrange my accounts and settle my
books, as you know more about thern than
a-ny one else, and let Mr. Eawlings finish re
cording my oLher letters which he has begun.
Between live and six o'clock be said to his
physician, Dr. Craik, 'Ifesl myself going;
you had better not take any mere tioub!e
about me, but let me go off quietly; I cannot
last long.'
' Shortly after again he said, Doctor, I
die hard; but I am not afraid to go j I believ
ed from my first attack I should not survive
it; my breath cannot last long About ten
my
body be put into the vault in less than two
days after I am dead.' Lear says ' I bowed
assent. lie locked ct me again and said ' Dd
you understand me 'i I replied 4 Yes, sir !-.
' 'Tis well,' said he. And these were his last
words, and 'tis well his last words were ' 'Ti
well.' Just before he expired he felt his own
pulse; his hand fell from Lis wristr ani
George Washington was no moro."
.Bi-oiaxan'sPcospects. The Boston Cour
ier, an Old-line Whig paper, which, in Li
lifetime, was the organ" of Mr. Webster, La
an article upon the Presidential election, In
which it says :
" Thus Mr. Buchanan enters the field with
the whole Southern political force in his favor;
he is as certain of the electoral vote of Penn-
sylvania if any dependence can be placed
upon the previous and well-known action of
1 einsylvama with regard to her politicians
and her interests as the sun is to rise on th
day cf the Presidential election and ho
then wants but two electoral votes to make
him President. California Las never showa
any peculiar favor toward Col. Fremont he
was refused a re-election to the United States
Senate about a year after she came in as a,
State his claim for her four votes Las ac
quired no recent slrcngth, and California has
shown less disposition to sympathise with anti-slavery
thau any other Northern State ia
the Union. He has then to look to Iowa;
Indiana and Illinois in the West to New
Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire and
Maine in the North all of which are debata
ble States, even with the anti-slavery furor,
now dying out; which Is expected to le
brought into action among their voters, and
his chances of success with them is no better,
if they are as good, as those of tho Democratic;
candidate. There are other Northern States
which might be put into the same category,
aui'there b, besides the great State of New
Yark, with" her thirty-five electoral votes,
which, in the present State of the canvass,
the Hepublicans cannot claim with any surety
of success. The friends of Mr, i illinore will,
without doubt, rua an electoral tieket'for him.
and as they carried a plurality ia the last
State election, though they may be weakened
by disseusions now, they constitute a force
which is not to be despised, and they have
largo body of men iu their ranks who can nev
er be brought to the support of the Republi
can t'ekct.
An Old Game.
The Black .Republicans are at their old
game of making a President by Railway and
."tcamboat voting. Gen. Jackson was utterly
routed in this way : Cel. Polk stood no chance
at all ; and four years ago, when, at the elec
tion, Gen. Scott reeeived the electoral vote
of but four States, pretty much all the vote
taben upon public highways exhibited his op
ponent in a wretched minority." We can
scarcely take up a black republican paper
now that does not furnish statements of similar
votes, consigning Mr. Buchanan ta hopeless
defeat. Democrats d not now, more than
forme: ly, comprise the traveling coraminunity.
It is no fiction that nine-tenths of the Demo
cratic ballots are deposited by farmers, me
chanics and laboring men. They are not
travelers, nor birds of passage who flit be
tween city, living by ao honest toil, and hav
ing no great interest ia an honest administra
tion of the government. They are Btaid citi
zen?, intelligent upon all public questions,
and always vote uudarstaadingly. Whil
they do not eoirpriae a ni-ijoritj of tho .rav
eling community, ihey do comprise a majority
cf the peopla, which accounts for the roult
of the elections generally.
The Contra.it.
The SpriagSel J Argus makes the following
pointed contrast: m
"Buchanan is a statesman; Fremont is ant
adventurer; Buchanan is known and tried j
Frcuioat u unknown, untried. Buchanan
Las eervad his country faithfully in impor
tant poliieal stations for over forty years; Fre
mont has explored the Reeky mountains and

for tho presidential office; Fremont U utterly
without them. -
