THE HARRISON FASCINATION.

Der the hills and the valleys, ocr rivers and lakes
From hamlets and cabins, and from the brakes
From the north from the south from the and the
west,
The food Of excitement is rolling in haste
II bears on its bosom name much rcvered
1t sweeps from its course the cnemy's herd;
It's found in the hoye il spreads through the plains
It's seen in the broad way, and runs in the lanes
Ii hrlyes in the woods il follows the plough
It's on board the proud ship and the commonest scow
Ii flies with the steamboat, inspires the crew,
Wins the hearts of the men and the gentle ones too
II ro9ms ocr the sea, runs wild on the prairie;
Conyinces the Judge, though so wary;
IL sinks in the mines, 1t enters the mill
II uses no force, yet conpnces the will
It's found on the shores, it waits the boats
II addresses the men, and wins all their votes
II stirs with the sun, il s awake with the morn
II sleeps not of nights if votes can be won
II courts and invites, hut never divides
II binds friends together to swell the full tide,
II retroccs false steps whenever they're taken
And makes each past error blaze forth beacon;
Each State il invades, visits Christian and Jew,
And persuadcs all TO VOTE OtD TIPPEcANoE.

George Ill had strong prciudiccs against Doctor
Franklin, whose talents he admired and feared, and
often cautioned his ministers lest he should obtain adj
vantages over them. On one occasion the Royal dis
like shown in whimsical way. Some of Frank
Inns political opponents absurdy attempted to prove
that blunt conductors better than pointed ones.
The controversy waxed warm, on which he observed
(takng part in m that his opponents were as much
heated about point as the Jansehsts and Molin-
lists two antagonist sects in the Roman Catholic
Church, were about fire In the midst of the dispute
the pointed conductors removed from the Queen $
palace and blunt one substituted by some attributed
degree to the Kings dislike ofthe American phil
osopher who declined writing the subject saying,
"the change Of the Kings conductor was of small Inn
porance and il he had wish on the subject il would
have been that his Majesty had rejected them alto
gether as Intellectual for it only since he thought
himself safe from the thunder of heaven that he had
dared to use his thunder to destroy his innocent
subjects" The wits amused themselves ahd the pub
lie at the expense of the philosophers and the mon
arch, in the following epigram
While you, great George, for safety hunt,
And sharp conductors change for blunt
The Empires out Of Joint;
Franklin n wiser course pursues,
A nd gains what you are wont to lose,
BY keeping to the-pofm.

FIFTH DISTRICT.
WE HAVE DONE TIL!

This has been the hardest fought field in the State,
and the victory is the most splendid. In the first,
second and third districts the Wings had nothing to
do but to bring out their usual srength indeed this
the fact in the fourth, where the Wings last year
had majority but in the fifth we had majority Of
800 to fight down. All the odds were against US
but-WE HAVE DONE IT,l John Mattocks is

deemed
The following are the complete returns. We are

full file Of the Canton Register to the 18th Of that

taken place in the previous relations existing between
the English and the Chinese. The English naval
force had only been reinforced by the arrival OF Her
Majesty's ship Druid, Of forty four guns, Captain
Lord John Churchill but the foreign residents at Ma
Gao were evidently Of the approaching arrival of
a large force with hostile intentions, though they
avoided direct allusion to it, from desire not to i'm
part intelligence TO the Chinese authorities. On the
other hand the preparations OF the latter are on the
most feeble and ridiculous scale, and it would seem
that they must fall easy prey to the attacking force

FRANCIS CALDWELL
Consumption Cured.

Mr.. Edward Russell, was, in December last
suddenly seized with cold shiverings, which were
succeeded by pains in every part Of the body. The
pains continued severe until the month OF May,
when he began to spit blood, this was shortly after
succeeded by hacking cough, swelling and pam
in the chest, and the discharge OF blood from the
mouth became considerable; these symptoms,
which are so often the messengers OF sudden death,
were, in the course Of few weeks, followed by
thick viscid suppuration, mingled with blood. This
circumstance appeared to give him a temporary re-
lief as the congh became less troublesome, and the
appetite increased. The discharge Of pus increas
ed, and the body was so wasted as 10 assume al
the appearances OF one who fingers in the last stage
of Consumption. The physicians who attended
were satfsed in their opinion, that no hope remlncd,
and that further trial Of medicine would be entirely
useless In this dire and forlorn state, he began
to use Hunts Botanic Pills, and by taking few
boxes of the medicine he has received a perfect
cure, and has since enjoyed excellent health. The
unexpected recovery of Mr.. Russell, has asonished
all his relatives and friends, and he tenders these
lines to DR.. Hunt with everlasting gratitude.
