The CONDITION. of the Country.

The Pennsylvania Iaquirsr, aleading whig
paper, in recent article upon the above
subject, says: -, <s....
We repeat, the Republic a, large is sound,
especially the commercial and manuiactur-
ing classes, and the check that has been
given to legitimate pursuits will prove but
temporary. Let Us look at the facts.
/. The National Treasury is full to over
flowing.
2. The Government has Just effected
treaty with Mexico. by which a right Of way
has been secured to the Pacific, and other
important considerations ard advantages.
3. The yield of gold in California coniin-
ues 10 be abundant, while Australia Is con-
lrbuling its millions per annum to the com.
mon stock.
4. The advioes from Europe are favorable,
money was easier, and ihe demand for A.
mercas securities was quite active.
5. A treaty with Japan has jus. been affec.
ted, and is now before the American Gov
eminent.
6, The crops throughout the Union are
full Of promise, and the yield of grain 10
likely TO surpass that Of any former season.
The chances are, that we shall have q SUR
plus Of many millions Of bushels al our dis
possl.
Z. The manufacturing interests Of ihe
country are in,hs full iide.of successful sx-
pertinent, and for most qualities Of goods,
The demand is quite equal to the anppIy.
s. Labor is everywhere active and cheer
ful, and the rates of wages have been ad-
vanced in almost every mechanical pursuit..
O. A Treaty. Of Reciprocity and for the ad-
justment Of the Fishery Question, has bssn
arranged between the United States snd
Great Britain, and thus q source oi discord
and apprehension will in all probability, be
speedily removed.
10. The Nation al large has not for many
years experienced anv rerious calamity, but
has been rapidly increasing in resources and
ertending in territory.
IL. The Union is more firmly knit together
thanever, and there are no signs Of discord
or disaffsctiou worthy Of mole, in any sec-
ton of The Republic.

Items for Democrats.

The wings must have rallying cry. Re-
peal of the Nebraska bills now that cry ;
and with it lhe hope TO seduce some dissat.
isfied democrats from our ranks, and thus
gain political power again. l, is an old
trick of our enemies. They know the re.
PEAL can never be affected. /, is humbug.
Afier the passage OF the tariff act Of ls46,
their cry was Repeal. They gained political
power in Is4s. Yet from tha, day to this,
they have rever attempted the repeal Of
that act. Even in their national conventions
they have since passed resolution agains,
that tariff. But the cry of repeal dsluded
some democrats. Will the democrats be a.
gain deceived. The Nebraska bill is in its
nature irepealabls. Rights will be acquif-
ed under the act, in q few months, that can
only be divested by the popular vote.
The wings urge that the Nebraska act
was upcalled for atthis time. Yet et,housands
of people are preparing to emigrate to the
new territories. Is not that proof sufficient
that territorial organizations were wanted :

An advertisement appeared in d recent pu b.,

NJ Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
the public is attracting great attention. not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are great number of people who are af
ficted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his 'rem-
edy" is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for avery common disease, which
has been long needed, has atractedth the attention
of all sufferers from headache who have heard of it.
From our own knowledge Of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor il receives, and that it will
prove TO be great benefit TO all who may give il
