BALM OF COLUMBIA.

ora YOUNG GENTLEMAN, son Of r. NJ
Melgs Esq, one of the oldest and most respecta-
BILE citizens of Albany, lost his hair entirely. He
used one bottle of the true Balm of Columbia
from COMSrOCK 8 CO., and now has a head
completely covered with full flowing CROP OF
hair that curls most beautifully. Think Of this
young men who worship long locks 50 much, and
apply at No. u Courtland-st, where only the true
Balsam may be had. The proprietOrs absolutely
forbid any statement Of this kind ever to be made
unless true TO the letter. Facts are sulIi iently
strong and abundant to article not to require
the fictitious absurdities resorted to b. others tC
sustain them. We only appeal to the reason and
good sense of intelligent people, and want no pa.
tronage from those who cannot appreciate truths,
suspect any statement we make 10 partake ot
their own character.-NeD World.
GJ-SEVERAL persons have been imposed upon
by miserable counterfeit of the article, and il
will be necessary in future to see that the name Of
CuMsTocK d Co. is the bottle, and that it is pro-
cured al No. u COnrtland-st., New York
]. A. COMING, Esq, of the firm of Cowing,
Richmond g. Co, merchants, No 10 Suuth-stree,
will fully confirm the following:
Lady in his family was fast losing her hair,
and tried many other remedies without ettect-when
Mr.. c. procured from 81 Courtland-st, bottle
of the true Balm Of Columbia, which staid the hair
firmly at once, and now by the use Of two more
bottles a new thick crop Of beautiful hair is grow
ing out finely. Letany one who doubts inquire as
above.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

The Democratic Electors met in this city
on Wednesday, and cast their votes for
James X. Polk as President, and George
NJ. Dallas as Vice President. After this
had been done, the college appointed Mr..
Willard P. Hall, one Of their number, as
messenger to bear the vote to Washington.
Upon this result, we have a word to say.
We have been accustomed to look at the
Office of an Elector, as one of some dignity,
but the t,oistif cations connected with the
movements of this last Electoral College,
rather got ahead of all our old.fashioned
calculations. First. the democracy make
an electoral ticket, strong only because il
is democratic. Then the people give it
their support, and then the members set
about making capital out of their position!
Let US see how il was worked! If there
have been combinations, it is more than
probable the people will discover them and
appreciate the movements. The result
shows that William G. Jones, an elector,
has been elected Secretary Of the Senate;
James S. Green, an elector is elected assis-
tant secretary; VIM. A. Hall, an elector, is
appointed Bank Director at Fayette; VIM.
Sublette, an eiector, a Bank Director at ST.
Louis, and Willard P. Hall, an elector, is
elected by the body to which he belongs,
bearer of the vote. Besides, it is now
pretty well understood that VIM. Shields,
another eector, is trying to secure for him
self the appointment of Auditor of the
State. DR.. Cannon alone escapes the con-
tagion which is beginning to attach itself
10 the Office of elector, unless indeed
which we think is about right--Mr. Sub
lette should be excepted, because he only
gets an office which he has held for a
considerable time, and which it is probable
he cares nothing about.
Another singular feature about this mat
ter is, that the College have determined to
keep the details of their proceedings secret!
Yet it has been said that the final vote
stood for the successful candidate, four!
for another three. Did Mr.. Hall vote for
himself or his opponent! All this ought to
come before the public. The people of
Missouri approve of no star chamber pro-
ceedings, and he is no good democrat whe
dare do what he dares not acknowledge.
This thing of sending an eector as mes
senger is an anomaly in the history of the
country, and if it is to grow into prece.
dent, we should learn, as soon as possible
all the minutia necessary to carry it into
effect. The members of the college who
voted against it owe it TO themselves, we
think, TO clear their skirts of the ugly stain

The Piles and all Sores.

Hays Liniment is known now to thousands, as
a most extraordinary remedy for these Affections
1t is impossible to tell in newspaper, in such
manner as to obtain full credence, the effects and
benefits of this article, general is the practice Of
advertisers of exoling articles of no merit. Such
personal references will be gwen, as to bring con-
viction to the minds Of the most unbelieving. Will
sufferers only ask among their friends if they have
not heard OF or known its effects; and if they do
not hear it more warmly praised than any other
salye, let them not get it. All fancy or exaggera-
ton is positively excluded from these statements,
and it is determined to say nothing Of its merits
but what could be fully proved by a host of wit
nesses, in any court of justice. Will you look at
the thing and the proofs at the Drug and Book store
of DR. Wm, R. Snelson, Fayette, or at the Drug
store Of DR.. A. R. Obcr, Glasgow, where it may be
had!

More about the Magical Pain
Extractor.

This salve is loing wonders, and one half of the
cures and benefits that come daily to our notice
cannot be published. But we think that what
already has been given here to the New York pub
lie, should impress upon every family the actual
necessity of always keeping this salve in the
house, as little girls (l59 Washington-stree)
life was saved on the Sd of this month by this
salv from dreadful scad and we ask all who
do not fully believe it, to go there. and see the
child and its mother. A mother will tell you
what you must believe. Also in Newark was
chid's life, in of burn, saved by it last week.
Mr. John Lyoas, carman, who
rides for VIM Mccormick, Esq, auction and com.
mission merchant, No. IS Courtland-street had
his thumb badly bitten by his horse, so that the
nail and the ball of his thumb was split open
The pain from il was dreadful, extending through
the whole system; and he thought he should have
to give up work, when he went into Messrs.
Comstock g. Co.'s, 81 Courtland-street, and had
applied their Magical PAIN EXTRACTOR, and in
three minutes the pain entirely ceased, the infaIn
nation all was allayed, and no inconvenience was
felt at all from it, when at the time he first put
it on the flesh began to grow black and the first
Joint very sore and stiff so that he could not bear
to bend or touch it. / think this salve saved me
one weeks work. or at least nothing could have
relieved so instantaneously. He invites all who
are any way skeptica! to call on him at Is Court
land. street, as he will be pleased to show them
his thumb, and tell them personally of its magic
effect.

Rheumatism, Gout, Contracted
Cords and Muscles. &C.

Are prevalent and common diseases. The practi-
toner Of greatest skill, if honest, generally
shrinks in despair Mt the prospect of governing
and eradiea ting these diseases His remedies are
generally palliative, and the patient feels happy
at any relief from bis torments. IF his family
doctUr gives him any hope Of cure, it is at the
end Of a long course Of medicine that is to act
upon the system, or at the expense Of drawing
from the arm his lfes blood until if cured, which
is by such means next to impossible. he has not
enough of "life left 10 be worth living for" How
important then, that remedy to check, control
and eradicate Rheumatism and Govt, to strengthen
and extend shriveled and knotty cords and mus
Giles, till nature and health again has sway and
control. Such you may rely, is the effect of the
NERVE AND BONE EMINENT, AND IN
DIAN VEGETABLE ELIXIR sold by CoMsTocK
& Co., and true only when they have their fac
smile signature on them. How happy the dis
covery that the Elixir Drops taken internally
operate specifically, and directly upon the affected
parts, while the Liniment rubbed on externally
removes all soreness and pain, and renders the
patient at once comfortable and happy. A few
cases cited below, which are fully witnessed and
authenticated, will do more than we can say to
convince of the truth of this; but the use of 1t
once will dispe all doubt, and make the sufferer
its most efficient friend. 1t is the duty Of such
to recommend 1t to other suff rers. Will you do it!
