SANDs's SARsApARmLA.-Wnen the appetite has
failed and the digestive powers have become par
TALLY paralyzed from dissipation or other causes the
dyspepc patient resorts to various powerful stmu-
ants IN the hope OF restoring by artificial means the
expedlents only speed exhausted nature to momen-
tary exertion. The relaxation which succeeds is
worse than the original torpor and depression of the
spirits, hypochondria, and sometimes even worse re-
suits, ensue The only proper course is TO cleanse
and purify the. elements of the blood, by means Of
some medicine which will act directly upon the ma.
chnery which prepares and amalgamates them
Practical experience has established the fact that
SANDs's SARsAPARILLA is that medicine. It restores
to the stomach Its tone-to the whole digestive appa-
ratus its vigor and to the blood its heahfu cbarac
ter, by expelling the very seeds of disease.

MAY CONVENTION.
The New York Tribune says:


An arrangement has been made here by which
a staunch and safe steamboat will leave this city
on the Doth April for Baltimore, taking 400 pas
sengers round, boarding and lodging them during
the entire passage and while at Baltimore, and
returning them at a cost of $40 for the whole
trip. This is much cheaper than the journey can
be made in any way, and if the weather be fair,
will be pleasanter also. The boat is to reach
Baltimore on Wednesday morning. Those who
wish to secure berths by this conveyance should
write to some friend in this city to do the needful
for them We presume more good boats can be
started if more are required
We think it time the public should know whe-
Their the Washington road intends to reduce its
fare. Would it not be WE'LL to prevent disap-
pointment when too late to be remeded, to as
certain at what price similar arrangement with
the above could be made

A memorial recently submitted to the Senate

Of the lake harbors, from which it would seem

FRAUDS OF LocoFocoIsM.-Th frauds of Lo.
cos in this election have never been paralIeled
IN the political history of the State. The discre-
tlonary power given to the Board of Election, has
been shamefully abused by the Locofoco boards,
and many good voters DISTINGUISHED for no other
reason than that they are Wings How shame
'iessly these frauds have been practiced may be
imagined from the reply of Locofoco who was
asked about Wethersfeld, "Oh," replied he,
there is a Wing majority Of twenty-five in the
town, but zoe have got the board and will cheat
you yet"
We have heard of many instances of most out
rageous frauds, such as would cause the blush
OF shame to rise even to a Locofoco brow With
such reckless and unprincipled opponents, joined
with the fact that most Of the towns had Loco
foco boards, the triumph is rendered doubly glo-
rous The Wings Of Connecticut notwith
standing the frauds and desperate endeavors of
the Locos, have been victorious and they will
take special that the flag of the State never
again trails in the mire Of Locofocoism.

Canton is the place at which the great Con-

OIL OF TANNIN,
OR LEATHER RESTORER.
-A NOW CHEMICAL. DISCOVERY

A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY
Most people know that skins and hides are convert
cd into leather by the use of Tannin extracted from
certain banks, &C.
When the force and strength of the Tannin is worn
out leather becomes dead hard dry brittle cracked
covered with crust, &c. Tins ALL Know To re-
store, then, life, soltness, mostness strength smooth
ness, and ramove all crust fly or blister-restore the
tannn. This substance the leather never can receive
the second time; but the whole virtues of it are in
this article, the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-,
trates the sticst and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in use; and if it tears easily with the
fingers it imparts at once strength that is utterly
incredible until II becomes like new leather
in all respects, with delightful softness and polish,
and makes all leather completely and perfectly i'm
pervious to water-particulary boots, shoes, carr-
agetops harness, hose trunks and in fact all things
made of leather, giving splendid polish, even high
er than leather has, and at least doubling its
wear and durability, in whatever manner the leather
is used. THESE ARE FACTS.
Those who will may wear old shoes, groan with
corns, ride with old carriage-to ps-have old harness.
and throw them away half used-look filthy them
selves and all about them--expend double what is
necessary for articles Of leather to heir hearts con-
tent, for what care, if their prejudices are so
strong, they will cot try discovery We have no

nR. TAYLOR'S BALSAM OF LlVERWORT,
~ prepared at 375 Bowery, New York, is justly
celebrated as the most wonderful curative of pumo-
nary diseases in the whole range of pharmacy, some
Of our most respectable physicians it in their prac-

monary complaints and physical debility, and they
unhesitatingly recommend it to be kept IN every
family of consumpye tendency. 1t IS universally
received as of the standard medicines OF the day.
The great merit of DIR. Tayors Balsam is, that in all
cases of pulmonary complaints it gives immediate re-
lief A single bottle will, in most cases, reveal its
astonishing virtues, and open at once the fountain
of health and strength to the afflicted. Read the fol-
lowing certificate:

T. OR truth is mighty, that DR.. Leidy's SARSAPA-
RILLA is the purest, strongest and most eficacious
of any other preparation Of Sarsaparla that is made
1t is warranted TO be stronger than six bottles Of
most Others stronger than four of some and stronger
than three of the strongest prepared by any other in
the United States.
Dr. Leldy's Sarsaparila is recommended by all
respectable physicians in preference to any other.
Ali who have ever used it have derived more benefit
from one bottle than three to ten of others; and
those who after having used other preparations with
out benefit will use DR.. Leidys, will soon be con-
WINGED Gas thousands have already been) of the fore
going assertion.
The apparatus with which DIR. Ledy's extracts,
used in his preparation of Sarsaparilla as prepared is
the only one in the United States, imported by DR..
Ledy himself from the celebrated house of Pelleter
& Caventou in Paris at great expense, and is ca
pable of extracting the medicinal virtues of Sarsa-
parilla and other roots eectually than by any
other process
AS several hundred certificates of remarkable
cures, and recommendations from clergymen and
physicians have been from time to time published in
