GINSENG PANACEA.--From statements
which we see in almost every paper we take up,

Bronchia. Unlike most preparations, its vouchers
are at home-men OF standing-well known IN the
community where they reside. and to the business

BEWARE OF CoUNTERFEITs.

Those who counterfeit a good medicine for the
purpose of adding a few dollars to their pockets,
are far worse than the manufacturer Of spurious
coin. For while the latter only robs US Of our
property, the former take property, and health
and life away. DR.. Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry Is admitted by thousands of disinterested
witnesses to have effected the most extraordiaryn

forth its praise. 1t is now the ~favorite medicine

That our readers may rightly understand the pres.
ent position OF AFFAIRS in the Legislature, we make
the following iecapitulation: The bill to apportion
the State into Senatorial and Representative Dis
tricts, was introduced into the Senate, and alter va
rIous attempts:of the democrats to have it amended,
it was passed, and sent to the House to receive its
action. The House made some amendments to
the bill. not. however changing its odious fea-
lures. II was then sent back TO the Senate, for the
Senate's concurrence to the House amendments.
The final vote was about to be taken, when the
democrats, seeing that an outrage was about to be
committed upon the rights of the people, left their
seats, declaring, however, that they were willing
to return and perfect the other business ofthe ses-
sion. and also assist in passing the apportionment
bill, if its unconstitutional features were stricken
out. The Sergeant.at.arms was several times des-
patched to bring in the abseutees. but they refused
to attend. In this position affairs stood for several
days, when q new light seemed to dawn upon whig-
gerry. S '
The Constitu. lion of the State, which these wing
members had sworn to support, declares that
1.-TWO thirds Of each house shall constitute a quo
rum to do business, but a smaller number may adj
journ from day to day, and compel the attendance
Of absent members" By this it will be seen that
thirds, I" Is to adjourn from day to day, and compel
the attendance of absent members. But, as we re-
marked, a new light seemed 10 dawn upon wing
gerry. The House, although the bill was not in its
possession, (being in the possession of the Senate.
and from whose possession it could not get, be-
cause the Senate could do no business took upthe
bill and by resolution declared that the House re-
eeded from all its amendments; and that as the bill
had passed the House as it had first passed the SEN
ate II was therefore the law Of the land. By such
proceeding the House declares that it can annul or
repeal a law by a mere resolution; aproceeding as
unheard Of as the power to divide counties to
form legislative districts. ag.e
The wing organ at Columbus. on the day before
this proceeding took place, declared that the dem.
ocratic Senators were guilty of treason-that
"there was an end to the State government
that the bill providing for the holding of courts was
unsigned by the Speakers, and hence no courts
could be held, because bills must be signed 10 open

The Legislature.

In io-da7's paper will be found the address ''to
the people Of Ohio" of the fifteen democratic Sem
asors, who left the Senate chamber when the vote
on the infamous appcrtionment bill was about to
be taken. We commend it to a careful perusal by
our readers, as it shows up in a strong light, the
outrage that was about to be committed upon the
people Of the State; the professions of the wings
that they would make an honest apportionment, to
the contrary Notwithstanding. The course Of the
''fifteen" Senators, is sustained by the members Of
the House, as will be seen by the following:
The undersigned, members of the
House Of Representatives, heartily APP
prove of the course pursued BY the de-
m~ocratic Senators in leaving their seats
on the passage Of the apportionment
bill, and had the question been put in the
same manner in the House OF Repre-

European Revolutions.

The tide of these revolutions does not seem to
have reached its ebb The work still goes brave
ly on. France, Germany, Prussia, and some ltal-
ian provinces have revolted, and either imprisoned
or expelled their Kings The whole work seems
to be done without concert of action among the
different states, and not as in 1915, when the
crowned Monarchs sought to enslave the people,
by Holy Alliance. 1t seems to be the simulta-
neous and spontaneous out pouring of the spirit of
the people, who through their ancestry and them
selves have been bowed to the earth by tyranny
and misrue for ages. There is point beyond
which human endurance becomes a crime, and
that point has been reached in European affairs.
1t is truly sublime spectacle TO see the old
thrones of Europe. which were established ages
back, crumble to fragments, and their occupiers
expelled, to become that which they so much dis
pise-mere men. The days of Kings, by divine
authority, have gone by and all authority will
soon have to be founded in the love and affections
of the people--the only true basis whereon it
should rest. How much stability these revolu-
tions possess, not prepared to say, but wish
them the utmost success.-East0n Wing.

A Hit at Hzr. Buchanan.

We find the following extensive thrust at Mr.
Buchanan, in the last Democratic Union:
The Albany Journal declares that the people Of
this country will not elect Tom Corwin President
or any other man who, while war is pending
argues the enemy's side ofthe question"
That is just the reason why the people Of this
country will not elect Mr.. Buchanan to the Presi-
dency. While the last War with Great Britain
was pending. Mr.. Buchanan, then the leader ofthe
old Federal party, argued the enemys side of
the question:" denounced the Democratic War
Administration as WEAK and WICKED" and brand
ed the Democrats as friends of Europe, and enc
mics of this country. Time will not allow me, -
said this old Federalist, "to enumerate all the
WILD and WICKED PROJECTS of the Depocratc Ad-
mnistratioh. They have rashty plunged as into a
acdr," &c. And after peace was declared this
same old Fedefalist, who had "argaed the enemy's
side OF the question:" the first to exclaim
s. Thank Heaven, we have obtained peace, BAD
AND DlSGRACEFUL AS II IS."-Mr Bu-
chanan was one of the most violent opponents of
the last War, and took the stump TO argue the
enemy's side of the question" According to the
Union, therefore. the people will not elect him
President. We are Of the same opinion.

SQusages. Some person has said that sausages
are a very good edible but in eating them it is ne
cessary TO- have confidence. The man who used
the EXPIRE. sion knew what he was about, and when
eat of them again, I'll be little older than | am
now. They are decidedly very suspicious looking
things; you know not of what materials they are
composed and must have confidence that they are
what they purport to be. This confidence is
sometimes misplaced, as recent occurrence In
this city has shown Two manufacturers of the
article, were arrested yesterday on the suspicion
of Incorporating dog meat With them, and on ex-
amining the workshop or laboratory the officers
discovered the carcass Of hog which had died of
disease, the carcass Of dog that was killed the
day previous because it had the hydrophoba, and
the putrid remains of three interesting little pup
pies, whom the unfeesng' g'owner had drowned in
the dock. Operations had been commenced on
all this choice selection and had not the officers
interfered, they woull have been by this time
manufactured into first rate country sausages, and
have formed the Sunday breakfast of some of ou.
nnobent citizens. Inquirer

The Chester Bank Robbery.

The supposed robbers ofDr DARLINGTON, Pres
ident of the Chester County Bank, have been ar
rested in Mexico. Letters received by the CASH
ier of the Delaware County Bank post marked
Matamoras, state that two men had been arrested
in that town who were supposed to be concerned
in the robbery of DR.. Darlington. One the per-
sons arrested it appears, engaged another to pur-
chase mules, and the payments of the same were
made exclusively in Chester County Bank notes,
which excited suspicion, had ultimately led to the
arrest Of both. The letter also states that forty
thousand dollars of the money canbe secured, and
that the prisoners await the requistion of the
Governor Of Pennsylvania.
