DECEPTION EXPOSED.

Maumee City, Feb. IL, 1851.
TIME undersigned, citizens OF Lucas county, cer-
ufy that DR.. J. s. GREGORY, Chemist, Of
Maumee City, is the Inventor of the Medicine,
called INSTANT CURE OF PAIN, to the title of
which, as his trade mark, he has right by law.
Since this medicine has become popular and extenr
sively used remedy for pain, we notice that a
number Of PATEST MEDICINE MEN are employing
the term "INsrAEr CURE OF PAIE,'' as title or
description of their compounds.
This we unhesitatipgly pronounce mercenary and
wicked. Mercenary-bceauset they evidently have
no other motive than sordd love ofgain. Wicked
because so far as they succeed in making the
people believe theirs is the true Instant Cure Of
Pain, they rob the inventor of the just reward for
his valuable discovery; and skill acquired by twen-
ty years experence,-and worst of all, trife with
The health and life of the sick, by palming upon
them a counterfeit, or impos,ure. ts

ginis, Un:on Democrat Of that State, re-
ssady msds . speech At Tamma"y Hall,
New Yesh. In which he stated that this
doctrine Of Gen. Cass was the received
doctrine Of the democratic party, north and
south, with few individual exceptions
Gen. Cass does not stand before the
county even in the light Of mn honest poll
ticinn. Not to notice his tcrgiyersatious
on the slavery question. the course he Pur
sued in the campaign Of 1913. was vague
and unsatisfactory. His Nicholson let'e'
bore two interpretations. At the North IT
was Understood, A. he has since explained II;
while ut the south, it was stated by his
friends that he took the ground that the
territories were open to all parties, until a
State Constitution was formed, when the
people in convention had the righ, TO settle
the question. His double dealing course
lost him the vote Of the South
Bat Gen. Csss is not OILY unsound on
the slavery question, and in favor OF the
wbig doctrine Of internal Improvements in
the States, but his views IN relation to for
eign affairs are any thing but safe. u he
were elected. the probability is, that before
his term would expire, he would plunge the
country in foreign war. lie is the great
champion Of the kossuth humbug. and
such man is unfit, we think, for &c Pres
dency. lie has been ak his life in office ,
and will. in all likelihood, continue to re.
main in office ms long as he can travel to
Washington. We can only hope tina, his
services will be confined to the State where
he belongs though we much feaT he will
be again brough, before the democracy OF
the Union. IN the latter event, defeat
inevitable and overwhelming defeat-we
hope and believe awaits him. Such de
feat would do the democracy good, for it
would teach them to return TO their original
principles.
Douglas and Buchanan are both States
Rights Democrats, and are both friendly
to the South The prospects of the former
were very naiterng, until the recent unwise
and stupid course pursued by Louisiana,
