THE PRESIDENT BURIED. The resolution
offered in the New Hampshire Democratic
Convention" expressing hope that the Presi-
dent would in future confine his appointments
to those who stand upon the Baltimore Plat
form. seems to have created no little stir. So
pointed rebukc coming from the Presidents
home. and from his oldest personal friends and
adherents, could not be allowed to pass without
censure by the fortunate CoalitiOnists, Free
Sellers, Disunionists, &c. Mr.. Burke. its au-
thor comes in for the severest kind of handling
they can infct. The Concord PatriOt-the
Home Organ'-devOtcs four columns to him,
the Evening Post three, and the Atlas what 1t
can spare from Mr.. Mathcr. The Washington
Union, not being so favorably situated in point
of latitude as the journals, contents itself with
endeavoring to prove that none but - Platform
men" hare been appointed. But this is rather
uphill work-.fUdny EUening Journal.
The New PREss.-Mr. Carpenter shipped his
new press for Cincinnati to-day where he is to
have a model constructed for the Worlds Fair.
Among its other novel and ingenious arrange
ments, this press feeds ITSELF works both sides

than all, one man is sufficient for the eng inc

through YOUR agent at this place, and having
been so perfectly satisfied nih its effects, we
feel called upon to state publicly its happy and
astonishing results in cNpclling worms from
children. We had used all the patent vermi-
fuccs of the dav with little or no success. and
commenced the use of NJ Lane with faint hopes
of its efficacy; but after using it but Anew hours
all doubts upon the subject vanished, and we
chccrfully recommend it to all as the only safe
and certain cure for worms that we are acquan-
ted with. We might state the quantity OF
worms we have seen expelled at one time, but
deem it unnecessary. believing that, should we
state all wc know of its astonishing eXpelllng
powers. il would hardly he credited by those
nnacouantcd with us. One ofus having child

attributed the cause to worms. But all his
medicines failed to bring hut two OF them a
few DAYS after he purchased a vial of the YER
mfugc: and after using one spoonful it dis
charged 200 worms. The child has entirely re-
covered and has continued well. We have
each used it in our respective families with en-
tire success and would not do without it; and
although strangers to you, we checrfully send
YOU this unsolicited testimonial, hoping the in
trinsic worth of DIR. M'Lanc's vermfuge will
soon he known and recognized by all. And
believing it will soon stand alone and unc-
uuallcd as the only safe and certain cure for

best illustration which be could possibly
give Of it, would be to narrate an incident
that occurred on board a British vessel in
which he had come over from England
There were on board the ship W large
Galapagos turtles, a very large animal, as it
is KIN wn, something resembling terraEins.
| presume many senators who have not seen
turtles have seen terraplns. They are a de-
licious moroccan for the epicure or the gour-

ton one to another. They would approach
formally, slowly at first. the make a sudden
movement, then another, accommodating
with great care, their eyes scintillatlng fire,
and their voice deep-loned; at last they ap-
preached near each other and cunning al.
most in contact with each other, II raised
with a great caution, a little tremulous, but
nervlng himself at the other, as ls.their Gus
tom, and gave vent to an expression OF his
Indignation, 'Foo-foo-foo? and fell back a
little. The other raised his head, slowly
drew up in the same way, and extending
himself, let forth Foo.foo.foo!' raising his
head a little higher than the other. They
kept alternating in that way until at last one
got decidedly the advantage-altliough ii
was a very small advantage-and the other
discovered it, and the moment he did, he
bea' a retreat and backed out with all pos
sibIe facility. Laughter. A little blowing
and a little tip-toeing, was all that was done.
