PRODIGIOUS DOWN.—A Mr. C. W.
Gatbcart writes to the Spiritual Telegraph,
from Laporte county, Indiana, detailing the
following inst-mce of power. Ha says:
"During the last harvest a wirlwind blew
off the straw bat of one of my hands. My
-attention was attracted to it, and seated on
a reaping machine, I rounded the corner
next to hitu. The hat was forty rods off,
and I should think nearly, if not quite three
hundred feet high. I called in a loud voice,
'King; (the familiar name of the presiding
Spirit) bring that man his hat.' The uian
instantly stopped perfectly still. The hat
whirled aruuud, came hack and dropped
precisely in his hands. He was so sur
prised that he did not shut-his fingers upon
it, when it fell to the ground on his feet,
aud he picked it up without moving an
inch from his position, which he had held
immovably from the time I called. The
IMB was no Spiritualist. I called out with
out reflection, aud can only say that I did
not so wantonly. This curious affair was
, witnessed by at least eight sedate witnesses,
-but few of whom were crazv Spiritualists."
THE END OF THE UNITED STATES BAN K.
—The Trenton American says the books,
pipers, drafts, notes of hand, kc., of the
United States Bank, to the amount of forty
tons, have been purchased by Messrs. Bot
tom & Co., of that oily, and will be made
into paper. Ten tons of this vast amount
is of correspondence, autograph letters of
the first statesmen, poli'ichms and financial
uien of this and other countries.—drafts up
on the Rothschilds for hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, certificates of stocks trans
ferred to leading bankers in Europe,checks
and drafts from day, \\ ebster, Adams,
U ilhoun, Houston, Crockett, Cass, &c., &c.,
nil scattered, ready for the important trans
formation-into clean, unsullied white paper.
From tuis largo muss of papers some idea
may be formed of the business of the insti
tution, which oner occupied such a prominent
position.
CROPS IN THE Wist.—Our Western
exchanges are beginning to give better ac
counts of the growing crops. Early in the
•spring we had dimal forebodings of scar
city and famine; b'i r since the weather has
improved and the snow, ice and dreariness
<>f Winter has disappeared, the farmers and
tlie press of Illinois end other Western
.States are changing their lamentations over
probable short crops into cheerful predic
tions of an abundant harvest.— Pittsburg
Jon rruil.
\\ e almost daily hear of reports indica
tive of this state of things, from varous
parts of our own aud neighboring States,
since the season has fairly opened. The
inter wheat in most localities looks well
aud a liberal extent of soil is being devoted
to Spring sown wheat. The quality of Corn
that wiii he planted this season is almost
incredible, and with anything like favorable
tveatlicr for planting and growing, by far
the heaviest crop of corn will be gathered
• this year than has ever been harvested in
ahis couutrv.
DEATH OF SENATORS KITLF.R AND
BELL.—The deaths of Hou. Andrew P.But
ler,United States Senator from South Car
olina, and of Hon James Bel!, United States
Fenator from New H iutpshtre, were simul
taneously announced in ihe telegraphic col
umns of the Anieriean yesterday morning,
limine Butler lias been in the Senate since
1847, ha ring succeeded to the vacancy oc
casioned by the death of Hon. George Me-
Duffie. lie was re elected in 1855, aud had
served but two years of his present term.
He was a gentleman of recognized ability
jw.d possessed of attributes of character
that attracted and bound to hiui a large cir
cle of friends. In Booth Carolina he was
held iri the high esteem with which the peo
ple of that State delight to honor their prom
inent and favored statesmen, and there bis
death will < xcitc the keenest regret uud
most painful sympathy.
Hon. James Bell entered the Senate but
two yearn at". He was a snri of ihs Hon.
S onne! Deli, who represented N. Hampshire
in the senate some twenty years back. Mr.
Bell was a geutleinau of quiet, unassuming
-character, and did not take anr prominent
part in the proceedings of the Senate during
Id# brief service. By his friends ho w,;rn
hinhly valued far mmy estimable personal
qualities.
ONE or THE PERJURER* SENTENCED
•ON Saturday h-t, Judge C jural of Phila
delphia, sentenced John Ctebran—convict
ed of swearing falsely that tho n i turalixafion
papers, upon which he voted, were his, whou
they belonged to another person—*o three
year* imprisonment in the penitentiary
This is but one of the uiany perjured crea
tures who*-- votes controlled the election in
the city last full. The punishment is severe,
but by ao moon# adequate to the enormity
of the crime for which he lias bc?n made to
suffer. A few more convictions would per-
Jiaps deter tLe political managers, who in
duce the ignorant to prcjure themselves,
and stuff ballot boxes, from this method of
deciding election.
Tria CJ M 2T. Piofo-<s >r M'tokeHi
Cincinnati, in a recent lecture on astrono
my, ridiculed the idea of the collision cf a
comet with the earth, and remarked, iu re
lation to the idea that tho earth may, after
all, bo destroyed by a comet, that lie could
not tell, but thought fhat "if we lived to
meet such a cr.L'strnphc, we should pass
tho age of Methuselah about ten millions
of years!" We think but very few peo
ple would be content to wait so long for
>ULL A spectacle. Nervous people may
take courage. There a good chance for
'heui to die peaceably, and in the good .pld
fashioned way.
THE WAY THEY GET RIOH IS TIIK WEST.
—A gentleman who has just returned from
Kansas, where he has resided two years, tells
of the high price of provisions in that region.
Flour, last month, was selling at SJ4 per
barrel, molasses $1 50 a gallon, pork twenty
cents a pound, and other things at the same
rate. The crops iast year were poor, the
wiuter severe, killing many cattle, and the
army of emigration so large as to devour all
betjpre them. To the question, how did you
live I—the answer was prompt. "Live,"
said he, "live on cracked corn; corn fo*
breakfast, com for diuuer, and corn for sup
per. 1 have just learned to live, and if I
had practiced here lor ten years, what I was
forced to there, even at low wages, I should
have been a rich man."
THE MAPLE SUGAR CROPS OF 1857.
The Albany Argus estimates the maple sug
ar crop of the State of New York for the
present spring at 20,000,000 pounds; the
total value of which, at twelve and a half
cents per pound, (a low estimate) is $"2,500,-
000. The same paper estimates the whole
ctop of tlic lluion at 68,500,000 poands,
valued at $8,502,500 —making the quauity
and value very nearly equal to one-half the
cane product oflastyear—and contributing
in a very important degree, to releive the
last year's deficiency.
THE WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR IS
HARD —The Hon. Barker Burnell, formerly
State Senator fioru Nantucket county, is now
in a chain gang at Valparaiso, having been
sentenced for robbing the mail, lie may
be seen daily in the streets of that eitv
with a ball attached to his leg, working
with his fellow convicts. He was indicted
several years since for embezzling the funds
of the Nantucket Bank, but escaped the
punishment due to his crime bv ' leaving his
country for his country's good."— Boston

TAKE NOTRE !
Th4T all Farmers desirous of preserving the
health of their Cattle, uud at (he same time, of
increasing the pr "tits ot their Stock from 2 1 'o
25 per cent, on equal amounts of food, should
use the
Vegeteble Cattle Powder,
Manufactured by Bulimc, FnoNEFtEi.D A Co.,
Chemists, of Philadelphia. No di-eoverv ol
the preseut age is of equal importance to the
world at large, either in a scientific point of
view, or iu a pecuniary relation. It is just
now beginning to utt:act the attention it so
richly deserves. The experience of thousands
of Farmers from Nova Scotia to Tex is hive
united in the common opinion that it is a very
cheap source ol'wealth to those who own Stock
and cultivate the soil. In different parts of the
United States the scientific Farmers have sub
jected it to rigid tests, yet all ate compelled to
unite in awarding it the merit of greatly en
hancing the value of Stock, even to a snipris
ing degree. When we reflect that a Horse takes
iuto his system over 13 pounds, and
over II pwuuds of Oxygen every 24 hours, and
that tiiis Oxygen can only continue in the body
with llyirogt and Carbon, and is thrown "If in
the form ot watery vapor and Carbonic acit; it
at once becomes apparent that if this Oxygen
coiit'l he made to combine with agents, without
destoying any of the reiliy autritive portions
01' the lood, that much more good would result
front the same amount of food than otherwise.
This discovery has been made by the Proprie
tors, and has been honestly tested by the ex
perience of thousands ot frugal and industri
ous Farmers. Frequent demands have 0 :<n
mode by the • 4 wise ones'' t > disclose the ele
ments and the mode of Manufacturing it, and
thus give a Iree to such a valuable dis
covery. Jp reply we answ r, that some persons
must prepare ami compound it, even if it was
universally made known, and as w* are the
discoverers and are able to supply tun o-hvit
u-vrld If it must i.e by our extensive arrange
ments, wi do not see that much good would
follow, perhaps the contrary. It would soon
he adn.leratct uud thus injure morn than it
Would do good.
Since our tiis-ocery his l>e<n made, a great
tunny tals-r preparations bearing the name of
Cattle Powder have bteii put out by unprinci
pled men, hoping to gain notice by the popu
larity obtained | ( ,r ours. Wo advise all 10 be
ware of imi>osilioi.; men will do anything for
money. Let every man look out for himself.
Each pack of the true genuine Powder lias the
signature of Breiuig, Fro.tjirid 4 Co., 00 the
end of each pack, ail others ate counterfeits;
look well to it.
The Proprietors also prepare a
CATTLE LINIMEST,
equal, if not superior, to any now Ivclbre the
pi-Lie. It is now rapidly growing into favor,
and will soon equal in popularity our far-fasued
Cattle Powder*.

PROFESSOR O.J. WOOD:
DEAR SIR : Unsolicited. 1 send you this
j certificate. After luring nearly bil l tor a long
• time, an.l having tried ail the hair restoratives
j extant, ami having no faith in any, 1 was in.
, duced, on hearing of yours to give it a trial.
I placed myself in the Hands of a barbar, and
nad my head rubbed with a good still' brush,
and the Restorative thou applied and well
rubbed in, tiil the scalp was aglow. Ties I
rejieatod every morning, and in three* weeks
me young hair appeared and grew rapidly irorn
August last tiii the present time, and is now
thick, black and strong—soft and pleasant to
the touch; whereas, before, it was ha rail and
wiry, what little there was of it, and that little
was disappearing Tory rapidly. I still use your
restorative about twice a week, and shall soon
have a good and perfect crop jf hair. Now, I
had read of these things—and who has notf
but have not seen hitherto any case where any
i person's hair was really benefitted by any ot
; the hair tonic, etc., of the day; and it really
i gives me pleasure to record tiie result of my
J experience. I have recommended your j*re
: paritioti to • thers, and it already has a large
I ami general sale throughout the Territory.—
The people here know its eff'cts. and have
. confidence in it. The supply you sent us. as
I wholesale agrnts for the Territory, is nearir
: •'Xlnuiste-', and daily inquiries are made for it.
! You deserve credit Tor your discovery; audi,
i for one, return you my thanks tor the benefit
, it has done me, for I had certainly despaired
! long azo of ever effecting such a result.
Yours, hastily, J. W. BOND.

I DKAK SXK : Having become prematurely quite
gray, 1 was induced, some six weeks since, to
< make a trial of your Restorative. I have used
■ less than two bottles, but the gray hairs have
' all dis :p.>c ired; and although my iiair li is not
! fully at:.- i ie.i ii original ttoior, vet the pro
: cess of change is gradually going on, and 1 am
j in great hopes that in a short time my hair will
' be as d irk as formerly. 1 have also been much
gratified at the healthy moisture and vigor of
| the hair, which before was harsh and dry, and
: it has ceased to come out as formerly.

ONLY ONE BOTTLE
Dil. SWiORD'S
INTIGOBITOK,
OR LIVER REMEDY
IS r-quired to cure any one trouble'' with
Liver Complaints, unless the most desp -r
-ate of cases, win n the SECOND bottie will, with
ac'.ree a single failure, restore the parieut to
health and vigor. We wisli to (Tall (lie atten
tion of all to these facts, that tiie Javigor.itor
is compounded by a physician who has used it
in ins practice for tiie past twenty years with a
success almost credulous, and that it is entire
ly vegetable, being composed wholly of gums.
Some idea of the strength of these gums
may he formed when it is known one bottle of
the Invlgorater contains as much strength as
one hundred doses of Calomel without any of
its deleterious effects.
On? bottle is the surest tiling known to carry
away the bad effects of mineral poison ot any
kind.
Only one bottle is needed to tbrow out ot
the system the eli' cts of medicine after a long
sickness.
One bottle taken for Jaundice removes all
yellowish or Unnatural co'or from the skin.
One dose alter eating is sufficient to relieve
the stomach and prevent the food from rising
an t souring.
Oily one dose taken before retiring prevents
B'.ehtm ire.
One dose taken at night loosen* tho bowels
gently, and e irS* rostivene**.
One dose taken after each pieal wilt cure
Dyspepsia.
One dose of two tea-spoonsful will always
relieve Sick Ilea lach.
One bottle taken for f-niale obst-nctinn re
moves the cause of the disease, and makes a
perfect cure.
Only one dose immediately relieves Cliolic,
w'ni'e
One dose often repeated is a sure cure for
Cholera Morbus, and a sure preventative of
Cholera.
Ooc dose take i often wii' prevent the recur
rence of bilious atticks, while it relieves all
painful feelings.
Qy One or two dosrs taken occasionally is
one of too host remedies fi.r a cold ever known.
Thousands of eases of inflammation and weak
ness of the luugs have been cured by the lu
vigorator.
One dose t (hen a short tim< before eating
gives vigor to the appetite and makes tood di
gest well.
Que dose often repeated cures Chronic Diar
rhoe in its worst forms, while summer and bow
el complaints ybdd almost to the first dose.
On* or two doe* cures attacks caused by
worn)*, whits for worms in children, there is no
surer, safer and speedier remedy iu the world, j
us it never fails.
There is no exaggeration in these statements,
they arc plain and sober facts, that wo can give
evidence to prove, while all who us? i; are
giving their unanimous testimony in its f.iVor.
We wish all who are nick and debilitated to
try this remedy, and test it thoroughly, ancl
any vrho are not benefitted by its use we should
like to hear from, as we have yet to hear from
the first person who has used a bottle oflnvig.
orator without receiving benefit, for there tr -
ench astonishing uiudieinul virtues in it, that

This Convention of Delegates, representing
the Freemen of Pennsylvania, opposed to tho
leading measures of the late National Admin
istration, and the continuance of the same de
structive policy clearly tbfeshadowfed by the
acts and declarations ot the administration j -*t
in ittgurated, do
Retolre, That the maintenance of the p:~ iri
ble* promulgated in the Declaration ol Indv
i pendence, and embodied In the Federal COB
[ stitntion, is essential to the pres-*ivation of
j our Republican institutions; that the Federal
i Constitution, tiie liberties of the people, th o
: sovereign rights of the States, and the Union
1 of tiie States, must and shali be preserved.
I Resolved, That with our Republican fathers,
: we hold it to be a sail-evident triuh, that all
men are created equal; that they are endowed
i by t AeirCreittor With certain inalienable rights;
! that among these a:e life, liberty and the pur
suit or happiness; tlait to Secure these rights,
i government* ate instituted among men; and
l list tlx: primary duty and object of our Feder
al Government i to secure these rights to all
persons under its eTcl aerie jurisdiction. That,
is our R-publican fathers abolished Slavery in
all the national territory, and ordained in the
Constitution that no person shali be deprived
of life, or property. Without >*u<: process,
of law, it becomes otir duty to maintain this
provision of the Constitution against a'l at
| tempts to violate it, for the purpose of estab
lishing Slavery in the territories of the United
State*. That us deny the authority of Con
gress. of the Supreme Court, of a Territorial
Legislature, of any individual or association of
individuals, to give legal existence to Slavery
in any territory of the United States, while the
Constitution shall be maintain d.
Revolred. 'I list the Constitution confers upon
Congee** sovereign power over tin- Territories
of the United States, tor their government; a
power not controverted for the first sixty years
of our national existence, but exercised by the
general concurrence of ail departments of the
Government, through every Administration
from WASHINGTON .to FOLK: and that In the ex
ercise "f this niiq-iestionaljie power, it is the
duty of Congres-1 > prohibit in tiie Territories,
those twin reiics of barbarism, polygamy and
Slavery. i
lie suit el. THAT WE ARE YET Fbeewkx. and that
while we retain tiie inestimable rights of Free
in en, secured t-> us by the sacrifices, sufferings
and blood of our Revolutionary fathers, we will
not submit to lutves new Constitution imposed
upon us hy the extrajudicial opinions of Jud
ges of the Supreme Court - opinions subversive
of tiie rights of human nature—ln conflict with
the trutli of history, with the unbroken action
of the govcniro.irt and the law of the land, as
heretofore pronounced bv the Federal Judicia
r;, and tin- Courts of nearly every State in the
American Union.
Rewired, That the recent opinions of theuia
jori'y of ttie Judges of the Supreme Court, iu
a case over which they decided tho Court had
no jurisdiction, and, therefore, no authority to
prououncn the law arising therein, is but ano
ther step in consummation of that conspiracy
j against our iree institutions, which had its in-
I option iu the repeal of the Missouri Compro
j tuise: that it is the direct result of the late tri
! uiiiph of the Slave Fow r in the election of its
j candidate. J axes BrcaaXAN, to the Fresidency,
I and unless prompt}' reb-.kel by the people at
! the ballot-box. way be followed by otlier usur
i pationa fatal to the independence ol the Free
I States and the liberties of our people.
Rewired, That theconstitutional rights of the
people of Kansas have lieeD fraudently and vio
lently taken from them. Their territory has
beau invaded by an armed force; spurious and
pretended legislative, judicial and -xecutive
utkceis have been set over then , by whose usur
ped authority, sustained by the military power
of theF&lef'ri Government, ivrannicalaLd un
constitutional laws have been enacted and en
forced; the rigbt of tbe people to keip and
bear anus has been infringed; test oaths oi an
extraordinary and "ntangiing nature have been
imposed as a condition of exer ising tiie right
of suffrage and holding office; the rigid of an
accused person to a speedy and publi; trial by
an impartial jury ha:- !>oon denied; erne! and
unu-u -.l punishments lia'-'e been iaflcted upon
the innocent. While murders, ro'oberies and ar
sons nave be n instigated and encouraged, and
the offenders have been ailow..-d to g<> unpun
ishod; the right of the people to lie secure in
their persons, houses, papers and effects against
■itircasonable searches and seizures, has been
violated; they have been deprived of life, lib
erty and proper y, without due process of law;
the freedom of speech and of the press has
been abridged; the right to choose their repre
i sentativea lias been made of no effect: That all
| these things have been done with the know
ledge, s motion and procurement of the Fed
ora! Government, in violation of the plainest
mandates of the Constitution; That the usur
pation by which a spurious Legislature was im
posed upon Kansas, and its people subjected
to a code of law* unpamltel d lor cruelty in the
history of civi'ized nations, is stiM in full force,
and the people are denied the right peacefully
to ass-m'le and petition for* redress of griev
ances; the National Executive has permitted
two Governors of hi * appointment to be driv
en from the Territoiy uuaer fear of assassina
tion. and lias not dared ro exert its power for
their protection against the lawless minions of
SlaVe.y,while judicial monsters end men whose,
hands are red with innocent blood, are retained
ill olfi 'e.to carry on the work of subjecting
free territory to the cause of Slavery. Kansas
lias been denied admission under a free consti
tution, and fraudulent means are now in pro
gress to secure its admission as a Slave State
at the next essi.,n ol Congress. Against this
stupendous wrong, we protest, in the name of
Gon svi> in MSNITT— by ..11 teat is glorious in
our history, and by tho n.emery of the great
and good men who established our liberties.
Rtsi'ihril , That it is a fraud upon our laws,
and fraught with danger to our institutions; to
admit to a fell participation in ti-eir benefits,
any man who acknowledges a foreign suprc—
mac?, which he cannot conscientiously and
without nieutil reservation, abjure and forev
er renott' ce; whether that supremacy be civil
or spiritual.
Rcsohti, That th** stupendous frauds by
wl.icii our popular elections are swayed against
* majority of the legally qualified voters,
strikes at the foundation and life of < ur system
of government; and unless speedily corrected,
will tad to violence and and w.-tirge
upon all good citizens to unite far the suppres
sion of t lis evil; and we call upon our own
Legislature to gu lrd by effective and stringent
laws t ie purify of the ballot box.
Resulted. That the ml? of the Main Line of
our improvements, is demanded by every con
sideration that should wejgh wi'li intelligent
ami honest ruen. As a source of revenue, it
is wholly worthless to the State, while it la
notoriously psed as a means of peculation and
plunder, thereby inflicting upon the State pe
cuniary loss, and also irreparable injury, in the
almost universal demoralization and political
profligacy engendered throughout its entire
extent. i
Rewired, That we invite tho affiliation and
c<>-oporation of men of all parti***, however
differing with us in other respects, in support
ot the principles herein declared; and believ
ing that the spirit of onr institutions, as well
as the Constitution of our country, guarantee#
liberty ot conscience and equality of rights
among cit ?,■•ns, we oppose sli legislation im
pairing their security.
