FOR SHERIFF. |.
JACOB HEADRICK.

~Col. MILLEn's speech at Rocheport
on Monday, is spoken of by those who
heard il, as mastery effort. Democrats
and wings were alike pleased; and all unite
in representing him as one, Of the ablest
men we have in the State. He is just such
man as the people of Missouri want in
Congress, and now is the time to send him
there. All who desire an able man to rep
resent them in the halls Of Congress, should
90 to the polls and vote for JOHN G. NIL.
LKR. He will attend to your interests
promptly and fairly, and think more of
discharging his duty 10 you and his coun-
try, than in sustaining any party or parti-
sans. To the polls and vote for Miller.
The New CoNsTIrUTIoN.-Thi instru.
ment is growing more unpopular daily
The effort to make it party question has
signally failed--and Notwithstanding it has
been proclaimed through the public prints
that democrats made it and democrats
must support it," many of its strongest op.
ponents are leading and prominent mem.
bers Of that party. We predict it's rejec.
sion by large majority. The people of
this State are not so blind as to fasten upon
themselves an instrument which would des.
troy their liberties, and crush their State.
Missouri is destined to be one of the great
est States Of the Union, and her citizens
are true to themselves when they indig-
nantly reject on instrument which would
impede her onward and upward progress.
UThe democrat objects to our
o copying from our Jefferson correspondent,
TO show the rottenness of those who are
always talking about protecting the inter-
ests of the poor. 1t says come 10 the Jour
mails of the Legislature. Very well--we
arc willing to meet it there. But we prefer
going little behind the Journals, and see
what course gentlemen pursued. Most
bills and laws, are discussed in COMMITTEE
Of the whole;" there amendments are intro
duced; motions made to strike out, and
speeches made-and there it is, that man
shows exactly what are his feelings. None
Of this, however, goes upon the Journals.
The bill is discussed, amended, and ma.
tured, and reported to the House, and
passed-most generally in the shape it
come from the committee 1t was in com.
mittee of the whole that Mr.. Jackson made
the motion to tax "all debts due by notes,
bonds, or bills, in the same manner as is
done on those for money lent" 1t may be
well enough to tax the notes and bonds
of those who loan money as a business, but
to tax the notes and bonds Of the mechanic
or farmer, who may have taken them in
payment for his work, or for the products
Of his farm, can hardly be construed into
an act of kindness to the weak or poor.
A proposition to increase the poll tax,
too, looks rather strange coming from the
poor mans friend! This talk about the
poor man is all mere balderdash-
whenever you hear man crying out about
the sufferings of the poor, set him down for
an arrant demagogue, and pompous aristo-
crat.

THE CAD VALoREM" PRINCIpLE.-The
following emphatic expression of opinion
as to the fundamental principle of the new
Tariff bill is taken from an article in dali
ly journal in the city of New York, entitled
The Morning Telegraph:"
Sand here we would say. that we have not
yet met the first man belonging to the Democrat.
ic party in this city engaged in the ordinary pur.
suits oil indusry, who have not strenuously obiec
ted to The principle Of an ad vaIorem ad ustmen!
Of the new duties. To the minds OF persons OF
practical experience this principle seems fraughl
with injury. 1t can not be doubted that The for
eign manufacturers Of goods will lake care that
the value OF their imports shall be estimated as
lo,c as possible, in order of course 10 compete
with the American article OF the same description,
and by this means the Government will be loser
pro lanlo OF the anticipated revenue. Nor do we
see how we are TO escape this consequence For
if remedial power OF valuation by our own
appraisers is retained the values will always de.
pend on gluued or bare market. There will
articles thus brought into competition, at the ca
price OF the foreign manufacturer, through his
agent here, and the regular pursuit OF the mer
chant will be subject 10 various fluctuations
against which no sagacity can provide"
Cool lMPupENcE.-Ths Boston editors have
secret shower baths erected in their ssnctums, 10
protect them against thar annoying class OF oafers,
who turn every thing toPsy.turyni in an editors
room.
When q fellow becomes particularly obnox.
ious they ask him to please step into tho closet
and ring the bell for The devil They snter-the
door closes with spring-they pull the suppo.
sed rope, when down comes small edition OF
Noah's big sprinkle. altogether mistake,
sir. says the EDITOR "you pulled the wrong string.
Bless me, il you havn't wasted all my water!"

CONGRESSIONAL CANvAss.--In the Sain,
Louis District, Messrs. Bowlin and Mil.
burn, hard and soft, and Uriel Wright, ma.
tive, are candidates for Congress. "Imma-
terial" John Jamison, and G. P. Brickey, OF
Washington county, locos, are candidates
in the second district. In the Platte dis.
trict, Hall and Birch are running. In the
Springfield district, Phelps, nominee, and
Campbell, independent, are candidates.
The canvass in all these districts, thus far
has been conducted with zeal on the part
of aspirants or their friends.
Hon. Mr. Yell, who vacated his seat in
Congress, for the "tented field" has been
elected Colonel of regiment of Arkansas
volunteers. We do not know whether MI.
Yell has any "head. work" TO do or not
or whether it was incumbent on the vol.
unteers 10 elect him in order to be received
into the service of their country. VIVA,
mockery, to call on freemen to fight the
battles of their country, and deprive them
of the right Of voting for whom they please
to command them. Yet such is the ardor
of the people that more than the requisite
number Of volunteers have come forward

MISUNDERSTANDING.

The democracy are truly hard rum
They took, or attempted to take, the ad.
vantage of Col. Davis, in his absence, but
were foiled.l This enraged them, and they
have been busy in any and every way that
they imagined would stimulate their party
and dampen the wings. They have re-
sorted TO new system in county can
vass. In Prairie Township, it is told that
there are a number of prominent wings in
Franklin Township, who have thrown off
Davis and taken up Jackson-and in
Franklin, the same thing is said of Prairie.
This beautiful system of electioneering was
discovered little too soon, and if we mis-
take not, will do more harm to its origina-
tors than others; truly, the great democrat
ic party of old Howard--thc keystone of
democracy--has fallen very low, that its
members have TO resort to so low system
of Misrepresentation 10 carry their. can.

cautious as we'll as more honest Stand up
like honest men and freemen, and if de.
feated. honorably, you will at least have
the sympathy of honest men. Drop Chi.

When Mr.. Jackson talks about the poor

When Mr.. Jackson talks about the poor
mans interests, recollect, fellow.citizens,
that he voted against the revenue bill of
last session, because IL did not tar you high
enough This increase Of your taxes was
made TO assist in paying off the State debt,
created by Mr.. Jackson's party. That
party was not willing to receive from the
general government our share of the pro-
ceeds of the sales Of the public lands
amounting to some 23,OOO---and apply it
towards paying the State debt, but they
were willing TO multiply the objects of
taxation, and raise the taxes Of the people.
And now, Mr.. Jackson talks about the
peoples rights, and how he labored for their
interests. This money will be again re-
fused, and the taxes will beagain increased
Mr.. Jackson is opposed to receiving that
money--bas voted against it, and will
again-but he will vote to increase your
tares Col. Davis voted to receive the
money, and uniformly against multiplying
the objects Of taxation until "the party
would consent to take it This course, pur
sued by him and number of others in the
Legislature, prevented the taxes from be-
ing raised higher than they were. These
are things that voters should look at, and
reflect upon, before casting their votes.
Look candidly at them, and you will see
that the man who talks most about the dear
people, is the very man who goes directly
against the interests of the people.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE p ATE z STA ALyytAINIc RINGS, s

Il MAGNETIC FLUlD.-This maTkable dis
covcry has received the universal appreciation OF
the Medical Profession of Great Britain, and has
been sufficiently long before theAmcrican public
to give fair trial of its power and efficacy. The
PATENT GALvANiC RINGS ave been found to
answer all the purposes for which ordinary Galvan-
ic Battery Electric and Magnetic Machines arc
used, but are without any Of The injurious SHOCKS
which accompany tho applications by those nstru-
aents, and in many other respects are more SAFE
and CERTAIN in accomplishing the desired object.
The Galvauic Rings have been used with perfect
nc, applyiu to the head, face limbs Gout, Tic
Doioreux, Toothache, Bronchitis, Vertigo Nervous
or SICK Headache indigestion. Paralysis, Palsy,
epilepsy, Fits, Cramp, Palpitatiou of the Heart,
apopieNy, Stiffness Of Joints Lumbago. Neuralgia,
oencrat Debility, Deficiency of Nervous Energy,
ana all Nervous Disorders. In of confirmed
dyspepsia they have been successful. Their extra
ORDINARY effects upon the system must be witnessed
TO be believed; and n certain PREVENTIVE for
the above complaints they are equally TO be recon.
mcnded. The Galvanic Rings are in every way
perfectly harmless, aud are sold at prices TO be
within the reach OF all. CRIsrIE's MAGNETIC FLUIp
Is used IN connection with the Rings, to render
their efficient action certain and to direct the Gal
vanc influence TO the partc ear PEI tions which ar
affected.
