The DEMocRATIc SouTH-WHAT AGITATIoN HAS
rejoicing the election of democratic majority
in the next House Of Representatives of Congress, a
majority to which they look to the bad measures
OF the Taylor administration But who, let ask, con-
stue this boosted majority which makes the democratic
party feel 50 proud. and the wing party humble The
majority Of il in the proportion OF about three to tvo is
composed OF the representatives from the southern
Satesthe States which, general rule, have always
secured maortes in Congress- and in the eleco-
raj colleges This majority Of southern men, which will
at Washington, opposed TO the Wilmot Proviso and
will of course nominate and elect their Speaker unless
the free soilers bolt the Ransom men did last winter
in our State legislature and unite with the wings to de-
feat the caucus nomination
And how has the democracy of the North had their
strength reduced low, in comparison with that of the
South in Congress! Ii has been done by the slavery
agitation, by Wilmot Provsosm, which has accomplish
ed nothing else than 10 dsoganze and weaken the dem
ocratic party and elect wing President Look at New
Buren, platform of 1886 and 49, she was nearly all demo-
cratic; look at her thirty four representatives in
Congress but democrat and he half breed of the
goats wool order, to thirty three fulblooded wings
That is what agitation has done in New York. Look
too, at Michigan. In the western district when Crary
and Lyon, and Chapman candidates and run on the
old platform, and said nothing about the slavery aga
hon except te denounce it, the district was uniformly
democratic But after asprants for congressional nom-
nations mounted the hobby Of abolition and Wilmot Pro.
the tune OF some ,7oo wing and abolition majority; and
nothing but little tact at the right time saved the north
ern congressional district from a similar fate.
We may here add that if we have secured democrat.
&c majority In Congress, il will be owing, in great de-
gree, 10 the hrmness and ability with which Gen Cass
and his northern friends have continued to maintain their
position on the old democratic platform OF -inerfer-
ence with questions OF slavery.

The wing presses comforting extraordinary powers

The case of Patrick Collins OF Cincinnati is still pepd
ing Most Of the wing papers Of that city contend that
he is deaulter to considerable amount-that he has
also violated the subreasury law in taking merchants
bonds, instead OF receiving the duties in specie The
Cincinnati Gazette states that be stands charged on the
books Of the treasury with Slso.s7s ST. and that he has
paid up only Slo2 o95 24eavng balance of SIS 5s a.
which he places to the account of customs and that
his friends say he has the bonds Of importing merchants
to this sum- II there should turn out to Be any
defacaton his part and still more. II il be COMMITTED
in violation of the sub-treasury law, we shall be the lat
person to defend Patrick Collins But we cannot rub
into the hueand-ery against him. until the investigation
has been completed and all the facts explicitly stated
The Cincinnati Inquirer, strong democratic paper, thus
speaks Of the statements in the Gazette and the Atlas
Il 10 purpose forcsia any statement which the
counsel of Mr. Collins intends submit the public y
we wish to make single remark The Gazette and Aass
have both formally published. fact that the Secretary
Of the Treasury had drawn order Mr. Collins or
tain specific dues OF money which they state. This We
contradic~o sleh order has been draT~ and with this fact
go all the deductions nierences and conclusions Of tho
papers have named.

The Republic is so voracious after its vctims and i'd
followers so eager for their prey that we can place no
confidence in its unsupported assertions. II charged him
with default of the whole sum which stands charged
on the books OF the treasury, without any Offset or

and he is now DESTROYS to dispose of such ar
ticles, as do not belong to the General Dry
Goods business. He has on hand large and
well assorted stock of Juniatta Iron, Steel
Carriage Springs, Buggy Axles, and number
of articles belonging TO the hvavy trade.
He should like to close out the entire stock
to one or two dealers, at cost and carriage
and on terms to suit their convenience; but
he is willing to sell in small lots, comprising
a general assortment, also at cost and carriage
in bills not less than 500, half cash
and half on time, terminating the first of jan
uary next, with good security.
As all his Iron has been purchased out Of
first hands, at Pittsburgh, and has been ship.
ped at rates from 45a50 cents, delivered al
Glasgow, none higher; and as the whole lot is
of unquestionable quality. and as the Ohio ri.
yer is very low, and freights high enough tc

rare one, which | trust will be quickly I'M.

RHEU MATISM CAN Be CURED
BY THE PROPER USE OF
MYERS ENIBROCATION!

THIS gvereign and efiectual remedy for
hat painful disease, was discovered upwards
of sixty years ago by the Grand ather Of the
undersigned, "a German Ply stefan Of his day)
and has neverbecn made known out of his
family.
It's incredible cures have astonished thou
sands who have witnessed its power over that
disease. Unfortunate, despairing inva)ids, who
have been bed-ridden for years, have been re-
stored to the enjoyment of perfect health. 1t
banishes all pain in few days, and its efficacy
is gladly realized by the patients being able TO
resume their usual avocutions, after having
suffered in torments for months and years
The wonderful success of the EMBROCA-
TON, in curing the worst cases of Rheu-
matism, has acquired for it celebrity I'M
precedented, and its fame originated from
its own merits. 1t never has failed to cure
Rheumatism, either inhammatory or chronic
and feel safe in saying it never will if fairly
tried. pledge myself TO refund the cash tc
any person who uses it properly without being
benefited thereby. Youwho are afflicted may
have tried every other remedy but this. Try
IT, and if it does not cure, it will not cos
you any thing. By this rule desire it shoult
| be used.
Persons are warned 10 be on their guard o
whom they purchase, as several mean at
tempts have been made to procure the RECIPl
from which this medicine is prepared. TIL,
proprietor deems 1t his duty to say to the af
lcted, that he will furnish travelling agent
with written authority for depositng it.
