II r REMEDY.

r''The discoverer of Great Remedy for a for
midable disease, has no right to keep its use from
his fellow creatures" So thought DR.. M'Lane,
when he was induced to offer his great medicine
for worms to the public. A profound physician,
enjoying a very large practice, his sense of duty
towards suffering humanity outweighed his fear
to be confoundedw with the herd of quacks who i'm
pose upon the public their worthless stuff as patent
medicines. He was therefore induced by Kidd &
Co.. Druggists, to dispose of his right as discover
er; and this best of all Vermifuges is now for sale
IN every village and town of the country. 1t is
the sovereign remedy for worms.

Russia and Eurkevs
We take the following dispatches from

we take The following dispatches from the
| Bee relative to the Eastern difficulties:
Count Nesselrode has issued another circu.
lar note, declaring that reason for the occupa.
ton by Russia of the Danubian Principalities,
is that the French and English fleets were about
passing the Dardanelles, and he intitnates that
no conciliatory propositions can be listened to
by Russia until those fleets be Withdrawn.
1t is believed now in some quarters, that Rus
STA has only been temporising heretofore, in or
der to gain time for the concentration of her
forces.
1t is reported that France and England have
adopted a joint note of moderate tone, to the
Emperor of Russia.
Later from Constantinoph-Austria and
Iurkey.-A dispatch from Amsterdam, receiv-
ed in London, states that the Austrian Envoy,
at Constantinople, had made an imperative de.
mand on the Porte for all the concessions that
had been denied to Leinenger. It was report
ed, that in the meantime the Austrian troops
were moving towards the Turkish frontiers.
Difficulty at Symrna.-A difficulty had oc.
Cured at Smyrna, between the Commander of
the United States sloop of war st. Louis. and
the Austrian Consul of that port, growing out
Of the arrest Of Colonel Costa, an emissary of
Kossuth, who claimed protection as an Ameri-
can citizen. Captain Ingraham (of the St. Lou
is) declared his intention to take Colonel Cos.
ia from the Austrian officers by force, if he
could have established his claim to American
citizenship. This however, the Colonel was un-
able to do. Considerable disturbance follow
cd the arrest of Costa, and several Austrian of.
ficers were killed.
Austria made a demand upon the Turkish
for satisfaction, for the insult, &c.
and the Governor of Smyrna was in conse.
quence deposed from his office.

Curious.-Amongst the number of success
full candidates for office in the Custombouse
under Gen. Downs, was one who had served q
term in the parish Jail or penitentiary for a fe>
lony. This man was strongly recommended
by good Democrats, and so pertinaciously pres.
sed upon the notice of the Collector, that he
overslaughed many a better man.
The disappointed applicants brought the pre-.
Vlous character of this appointee to the notice
of Gen. Downs, and some of the officers re-
monstrated against his being retained. He
was discharged. A few weeks afterwards he
received a commission from Gen. Pierce him
sell, as a surveyor of customs at the Lake end
OF the Pontchartrain road.
It'll a little singular, that the Democrats who
took such pains to expose the character of the
appointment in the first instance, shou}d have
afterwards recommended him so strongly to
Gen Pierce; or that any Democrat should have
endorsed the honesty Of man so lately expo>
sed and rejected.
The appointee applied to Gen. Downs De-
putty, in the absence ofthe principal, to be sworn
ln-Was refused-applied afterwards to Gen.
Downs himself, who Indignantly tore I'D the
commission furnished by the President.
This statement of facts exhibits & remarka-
Bile state of party morals. The pertinacity with
which this appointment was pressed even by
men who would not associate in business with
him, developes a ~loseness of political morals
tnat cannot be too severely deprecated.--Loui-
siana Spectator.

The Washington National Monumeut.-In

the commissioners of the fall elections, calling

ceived a letter from the Hon. ELISHA WATT

as the request it contains can be better accom-.
pllshed by laying it before the public, and par.
tleularly before the eyes Of our contempora-
rles, we insert it at once, and trust that each
journal in the State will impress upon the
minds Of its readers the Importance of this
subject as a matter of honor to the nation. We
shall send to the Association a list of the pa

acopy Of ais paper0 and in the meantime, hope
that the tenor of the following letter will not
be disregarded by our contemporaries. whose
cooperation with the Monument Association
is SO earnestly solicited:

Earty Nominations.

Since the Presidential nominations-neithel
o the great parties Of the Union having obtain.
ed their first Observation-Disclosures by party
have got in disrepute, and is still becoming
more unpopular every day. If we were once
in favor of Conventions, it was at a period be-
fore they had become corrupt and the peoples
rights outraged. At the present era in the his
tory OF Conventions, it is morally impossible
that the best men, or the choice even of the
party can receive a nomination of any kind
Real worthy, able but unpretending men, who
would accept and grace any office that their
party or the people might call upon them to be
a candidate for, cannot and will not stoop to
the low, petty, disgraceful e'ectioneering in
trigues, which are indispensable if they would
succeed Hence, those only are successful who
are willing to stoop to any thing for the sake
OF obtaining an honor or an office for which
they know they are unworthy and unfit; and
without a nomination, and depending solely
upon their merits, they know they could have
no possible hopes of being elected. Upon this
subject of "Party Nominations we take the
following very appropriate remarks from the
Cincinnati Dollar Times, which suits all lati.
tudes of our country:
"a few short months have given examples of
unmlstakable character. bearing upon the max

only of the infallibility of political SYMBOLS, but
OF a disregard of the true purposes Of conven-
ton nominations, that should be well consider
ed by the people at large. Relieved from the
outside pressure Of opposition and of the me-
eesslty OF paving some attention to the qualif-

is simply this: they have not perceived the mas

on the old track, until they have fallen into the
pit from which but few, if any, will ever be

lou make this proposition, you say, to COM
pensate Tor that fair showing and equal Justice
which, IN the estimation of my friends were de-
nled me IN the last convention, and for the pur-
pose OF preserving the harmony and union of
the party. That full justice was not meted
out to me by the last convention, is freely con.
ceded. The manner in which that convention
was constituted, and its proceedings on the
day OF meeting have quite satisfied me, and
taught me not to rely upon another. As re-
CARDS the harmony and union ofthe party" or
those who are SO eager to accuse me of crea-
ting discord and dissension in the democratic
ranks, let him who has been "without spot and
without blemish in his entire political course,
throw the first stone.

YeLop Fever in Nep Orleans.-The New
Orleans Della of "wednesday last, speaks of the
yellow fever as raging terribly in the city, much
worse perhaps than in former years. For the
week ending Friday, 22d inst, there were GIT
deaths, 429 of which were yellow fever. That
paper says:
The yellow fever never appeared in this city,
with so much malignity, SO early in the season.
In the worst years it never attained any great
severity until the commencement of Septem-
Der. In l847, when it was considered as ap-
pearing earlier than usual, there were not more
than fifty deaths in the whole month of July.
In August the average number of deaths was
Sc per day--total 10ll;-In 1882 it was twen-
ty per day; and yet in September following, the
average of the first year swelled up to fifty per
day.
Now, we have three months left within which
the fever usually continues IN our city; and if
the returns of July only exhibit a sporadic form
of disease, what must be the mortality before
it reaches the lst Of September,-the zenith
point of its severity? We put this question,
not to invite controversy, but to elicit truth,
and remove a delusion which we think has al
ready been productive ofconsiderable injury to
the city.
Here in our own town, it is as yet compara,
lively healthy for this season of the year. We
trust that our Town Council will immediate
ly pass some ordinance that will tend to have
our streets and back lots thoroughly clcansed.
Every precaution should be adopted to prevent
this terrible disease from visiting us.
