Mr. Bond, ono of the Compositors in the office OF
the Philadelphia Public Ledger, who had lost nearly
all his hair from off the top of his head has had it
completely restored by the use ofths ToNlc Two
Officers Of the American Navy had good head of
hair restored to them by using five bottles each Of
this HAIR Toxic, one of whom was over sixty years
of age. Four gentlemen connected with the Public
Press in Philadelphia, have also had their badness
removed by using this remedy. The Rev Mr. Par
kcr, Pastor Of the Presbyterian Church in Dcleware
County, Pa. who was completely bald over all the
top of MS head, and also becoming considerably
gray, has used only two bottles of this Tonic, and
has not only luxurant growth of new hair upon
his head, but all the gray hairs have disappeared
and their places Lave been supplied by healthy hair
of natural colour. Finally, nine cases of badness
out of every ten may positively be removed by a
faithful application ef this valuable remedy There
is therefore, now, NO EXCUSE FOR A BALD
HEAD.

STYLE. The Committees Report will give the par
ticHlars,
No one individual that we noticed contributed
so largely to the Fair as Mr. William Locke, OF
Lyndon. He had fine specimens of apples, maple
sugar. ,urnips, potatoes, sguashes poultry, &c and
last though not least specimen of the skill OF his

nous large pie made of the Marrow Squash The
Committee went into thorough examination OF
this article and were unanimously Of the opinion
that Mrs l.. was entitled to the premium IN this

Senator Buchanan, in his speech upon the Sub

that could make my voice heard ! by every
Manufacturer in New England, would show him
that il was for his interest to 60 for this Bill And
his voice has been heard by some of our rich man
ulacturers, and they that by reducing tho price
of labor and the price Of wool, they can make more
money than under laws which would protect the
laborer and the producer from the expressions OF
The rich. And such of these men as are desti

INTERESTING AND USEFUL COLLECTION
OF ROCKS. NEWSPAPERS, &c.

We called not long since upon our friend, HEN :
Ry STEVENS, Esq. of Barnet, who politely permitted
us TO examine his extensive collection of the rec
ords of the past which, by industry and no incon-
siderable expense, he has secured and preserved,
posterity We have visited the Antiquarian rooms
of other men, yet have we seldom seen more curious
or rarer specimens OF olden times. Books, printed
in black letter, almost unintelligible to US, with
pamphlets and newspapers, showing, in contrast
with similar articles Of the present day the progress
made in the art Of printing and embodying impor-
tant facts not easily found at any other place, may
be seen in Mr. Stevenss Library. In other
place in this section Of country, could an ndivid-
uaI fond of the curious, spend day or even weeks
more agreenbly proftAby than among this col
lection; AMI the owner deserves much credit for
his pains to preserve from the destruction Of time
these memorials of other days
We perceive that notice is gwen for meeting
at Montpelier the present month, to organize a
State Antiquarian Society which was Incorporated
we believe, last year. The design is worthy of
being carried out, and Mr. Stevens's collection
should be secured and preserved by tho Society -
In each of the other New England States there is,
we think, Society OF this kind.
Among many other articles in MIR Stevens's Libra
ry are the following files ofpapers complete;

MAINE EIECTION--LOCOFOCO DECEP-
TION.

The Vani,es are at their old game in regard to
Maine Election Some of their most reckless pa
pers still persist as they did in 1887 in claiming
The election, and they attempt to sustain their clam
by figures-tul in these figures the votes OF certain
locoioco plantations given by themselves, when
these same plantations classed with and vote
with some adjoining town, where the same votes
are also reckon modulus doubling majoriiies for
Fairfield In other towns more votes are claimed
by them than given for Fairfield.
We believe Kent is elected. Our belief rests
upon the above Facts and the fact that his election
is conceded by the honest and intelligent OF his
opponents in and out Of Maine. We have oui eye
on letter from Maine, which says the Van Buren,
men in that State admit Konts elecon-that they
do not believe the stories of such oftheir papers as
say he is not elected. Another letter from Maine,
written by warm supporter of Van Burcn, says
"Kent is elected Governor" The Wing papers
in the State of Maine claim his election by betwe cen
and 800 majority, and point ont the double reck-
ing of locoioco votes Under these circumstan-
fees we claim Kent's election. The Bos ton Atlas,
certainly one of the best informed papers in the
country, of the Goth, thus alludes to the Maine
Election:
"The Tory papers keep up clamor about the
plantations the votes which have not been re-
ceived, which they pretend will affect the result,
Some OF these have held election this year, and
If they did, could NOT affect the vote. Every PLAN
tatiOn has been yeceiUed, and THERE Is-THERE CAN
BE, NO DOUBT THAT EDWARD KENT HAS BEEN
CHOSEN Governor OF MAINE, for the year ensu-
ing, by clear majority of the votes of the people
Several Of the most prominent membe rs of the
Van Buren, party here, within few days, publicly
admitted in this civ that Kent was elected by a
bout 200 majority We could give their names
were it necessary but do not think sufficient
doubt hangs the election to make it necessary.
The following, from the Portland Advertiser, will
prove to be very nearly the exact result.
THE RETURNS COMPLETE-KENT ELECT
ED, AND NO MISTAKE.
We have gone through our returns carefully a.
gain and after revising them, and correcting them,
give the result complete in all the towns

NAMES.

| Ofall the epithets applied in this country to a
political party that of British Uhigs is perhaps the
most ridiculous. But if the Van Buren, party per-
siss in the attempt to stigmauze the Opposition by
such n term, why they must of course receive its
opposite IF there be British Wing party in this
country, there must also be British Tory party.
Tory is the opposite OF Vhig. THE use of one
term supposes the existence of the .other. If
arc British Wings, our opponents are BritshTories,
and rthey desire tia distinction, let them have
the benefit Of it,
Equally false and inappropriate is the tern
Federajist when applied to the Opposition.
Federalist known TO be in favor of strong
ecuvc. He apprebensive honestly perhaps
that tho experiment of selfgovernment required
strong guards in the outset. The experiment had
been tried. But when it tried and the
system found to work WE'LL the old federal
party was formally disbandcd T'hey snts-
fed with the result Of the experiment, and deter
mined to support in good faith the Constitution Of
tn United States The worst and faclious por
ton of them Aoated about whereve time inter-
est served them.-We, therefore, now find the
worst portion Of the old federasts in league with
Van Buren,. We have before named some fifty of
his prominent supporters, who of that charac-
ter Mr.. Van Burens love of power and dictation,
! own position, and TO enlarge his sphere at the
expense of curtailment of the power and liberty,
of other branches of the government, exactly
suited to the temper and tastes of the Federasts
in his train. John Alams's alien and sediton law
was not dea-bite compared with that portion of
Mr. Van Buren's Militia Bill which imposes a gas
upon 100000 men. The pOaoer which the Sub
treasury gives him over the currency of the conn
try is equal to that exercised absolutely by the Pa.
cha of Egypt, who commands at will all the specie
in his realm to his private Golfers, and then to
enrich himself arbitrarily raises the standard ofval
ne ad libitum. There other powers exercised
or usurped by Mr.. Van Buren,, which The old Fed
eral party, when in power, never dared to venture
on. 1t is the purpose of the Opposition to check
this absorption of power not delegated the Exec
utve, and TO avert its disastrous effects upon the
destiny of the government, and the business and
interests OF the country The cause OF the Oppo
sition, therefore is truly patriotic and Republican,
while that Of the Administration is really anita
mercan and uluaFederal. The people will see
the proper distinction, and apply the remedy.
