Thursday Morning, Sept. 7, 1854.
The Banner-The Democracy.

The Banner announced soon after the cleo
ton, that the Charge body Of the democracy
of old Howard was sound to the core. -
Week before last, we desired TO know what
it meant by the Charge body being sound"
and whether there was small body that
was not sound. 1t has had two weeks TO
answer, but has evaded the question, and
we again call its attention to the subject
Glasgow Times.
The above is fair specimen Of the ef-
frontery of the Glasgow Times. We sup.
posed at the time the grave editor proposed
the important question TO us, that he was
the only man on earth desiring an explana-
ton, so plain were our remarks. But still
he desires to know what we meant by the
large body of the democracy of Howard be-
ing sound Very well. We intended to
convey the idea that very large majority Of
the democratic party of the county had done
their duty; had not been deceived into the
support Of the wing party because Of dis
like to one Of our candidates, held their
heads up like men and worked fairly, and
spurned intrigue; and who, unlike the jack
all of the Glasgow Times, when it was
charged in his teeth of eyesdropping, drew
his tail between his legs and crawled off
like kicked Spaniel. You talk about eva
ding important questions, but practice eva
ding the toe of gentleman boot-thought-
full man.-[Banner.
A tolerably satisfactory answer if it had
been given in better temper, at an earlier
date, and free Of personalities-or if the
Banner clique is so exasperated It must de-
scend to personalities it would do well to
stick TO the truth, and thus prevent the ne
cessity Of our pronouncing their base inSin-
nations wholesale lies--their fabrcators
"great liars and dirty dogs" We care not
to use such language in our paper--know it
is wrong-but when a set Of inscriptions
and broken-down politicians set upon their
betters with lies and ISLANDERS, they are the
proper epithets to cram down their foul
throats, and we thus publicly do it.
The "soundncss Of the great body" be-
ing defined, the unsound or small body is
the reverse of the picture. We profess to
know something of the feeling of the "old
line democrats" of Howard We knew il
before the recent election. They determin-
ed to rebuke the Banner Clique" for fore
ing raw recruit on the party, and we de-
sired TO see how the Banner took the re-
Duke. This we have accomplished, and
will bear it in mind two years hence, when
the "big general" assumes command!
If we could get the Banner into another
definition Of IFS opinion on the test, the is.
sues would be closed. Has it any views or
that question now?

Douglas at Chicago.

Senator Douglas attempted to deliver a
public address OH the Nebraska Kansas
question at Chicago, last Friday evening
There was a very large crowd out, and the
noise and confusion was so great, that the
little giant" made slow progress. He
would speak awhile, and the crowd ANUS
ed themselves partly applauding and part by
grooming and Kisses. But little ofhs speech
was heard, and he at last yielded to the wish
es of his friends, and left the platform. lie
was followed to his hotel by large crowd,
who vented their i'll -humor by groans and
Kisses. We suppose he will have another
trial, as the papers all deprecate such dis
graceful proceedings, though some Of them
disspprofe Of his course.

Pains in the back, Paralysis, Sciatlca.
Hstoru. Chains were first in
troduced into this country about one year since,
in the city or New York, where they were sub
iected TO the most rigorous and thorough trial in
every hospital in that city, by Professors valentine
Mott, Van Buren,, Post, Carnochan, who at once
discovered that they possessed strange ana 'oor-
derful power in almost instantly relieving all ner-
vons main. iphererer located and so satisfactory
were the results produced in every case, that their
opinions were published through the public press,
and thousands have been induced to try them, ana
in no single instance have they failed to perform

rope. and also in every hospital in N. Y. City
No other Medical Agent can produce so many
well authenticated Certificates of cure--not only
from intelligent patients, but from Scientific Phg-
sicians, and their sale, wherever introduced, mas
been unparalleled.

or children--never get out of repair, and win
proper care will last for years.
Price of Chains SO and So, and can be sent by
mail to any part of the country. pamphlet Of
80 pages always accompanies each chain, and can
be had of any agent, gratis.
CAUTION TO LADIES.-Ladies who arc en-
ciente are requested not to use them FOR great
length of time, only for few moments; for by
continued use miscarriage is frequently produced,
For Uterine Pains one end OF the chain is to be
applied over the abdomen, and the other upon the
spine, just above the hips.

College Meeting.

A meeting of the friends of the College
will be held at Fayette next Saturday.
About four thousand dollars is yet to he
raised to secure the location of the College
at Fuyette. The citizens Of that town ought
to raise this amount in two hours, when the
location of the College depends upon it; and
that too, without calling mass meeting
But let every friend of the college and edu-
cation attend the meeting on Saturday and
go prepared TO settle the question. We are
almost ashamed of Old Howard when we
reflect upon the amount Of public and pri-
vate effort it has taken to raise so small IA
sum of money to be expended for her own
benefit, in so good cause as that Of educa-
ton. Let us be done with it.

Where is the upper Missouri"

The last St. Louis Democrat contains the
following picture of the Upper Missouri:"
We saw gentleman last evening who
had just returned from trip to the upper
Missouri, and bis description of the effects
of the drouth was absolutely frightful. The
earth is cracked open in large seams or
chasm, the creeks are all dry; some that
have always had a good depth of water in
previous seasons are thoroughly dried up
Crops are burnt to crisp; water has TO be
hauled miles to keep human beings alive,
and stock of all kinds is dying by the road
side. The gentleman from whom this in
formation is obtained is merchant of this
city, and would make no misrepresentation
In riding past fields or groves it was neces-
sary frequently TO put his horse TO full speed
to get out OF the way Of the iutolerable
stencil arising from the oarcasses of dead
hogs and cattle. Tobacco and hemp look
any thing but fiourishing.
We think the Democrats informant must
have been sucking at straw, the other end
Of which was in something that enlarged
his Imagination. The country generally is
suffering from the drouth, but the above &C.
count is certainly fancy sketch,

"The bow in the heavens is sign that
the world will never again be drowned, but
we warn our citizens that there is no bibli-
cal assurance that it won't be "dried up"

everything in it will be "burnt up" and we
are not sure that the fire has not already
been kindled.-- Democrat.

Abandonment of River Improvements by
the Government.

An advertisement in this paper gives
strong evidence of the determination of the
Government 10 abandon all River Improve
,menis. On the 4th Of this month, the hulls
upper works. engines, and other machinery
Of two double Snagboats, with all the tackeI,
furniture, Sc, will be sold at the wharf in
this city. The sale willtalle place between
the hours Of 10 \, NJ. and 2 p. NJ. and pay
ment will be required in cash. These boats
are about year old They were built for
the special purpose Of Western River I'm
pruvrments, and as far the service is con-
cerned. the money might as well have been
thrown into the Mississippi. There are,
we believe, four Snaeboat lying at this port,
and we do not see why the whole were not
put mp for sale. The sacrifice will be Just
as great at one time as another and the
Administration might as well show its hand
now as at future day.
This is the second time that a faithless
Locoioco Administration has shown its dis
regard oft wishes and the interests ofthe
people of the West, Once before, boats
built by the Government for this same pur-
pose, We're, in precisely the same way, sold
for song, and the improvement of our great
rivers neglected for years. Now the same
game is to be repeated, by the orders of the
weak-headed man who, by chance, and to
the chagrin of the nation, now attempts to
perform the duties of President of the Uni
ted States. This total abandonment Of the
interests Of the people of the West occurs,
however, at time when we may profit by
it; and to do that, we must now resolve to
sustain no man for President who does not
come from the Valley of the Mississippi, or
who is not committed, beyond the possibili-
iy OF doubt, in favor of these measures

A SINGULAR GATHERING OF BEES
Within the last week several citizens of
Howard Bottom have called to tell us of a
strange gathering of bees, on Cherry tree,
on the farm belonging to Mr.. Noah Smith,
living about % TO miles from the ferry
About thirty swarms have gathered on and
about the tree, mostly coming from the east,
but some from all directions. The drouth
and consequent lack of the usual supply
of food--has probably made them leave their
hives, but it would be difficult to determine
why so many swarms, keeping distinct after
they arrive, should fix upon the same local
ity. Strange as it is, this convocation of
bees is not without precedent, as many Of
our readers will recollect that a similar in
cdent took place in or about Nashville some
years since. The circumstance has created
considerable excitement among the sooth-
sayers and old women Of the neighborhood,
who infer that it indicates something awful
to the world, akin to Millerism.-T Boom
vile Observer.
We conversed with gentleman the 9TH
er day, who lives in the neighborhood, and
he informed us that thirteen swarms settled
on the tree in one day, and that there were
forty swarms in all located on the tree. A
similar occurrence took place in this section
some years since, but nothing alarming hap
pened, and the world wagged on as usual

T77A CLERGYMAN, an old and valuable
subscriber has sent us certificate from one
of his Pensioners, which he wishes pub
lished for the benefit of his neighbors, and
the community at large. 1t states on au-
thority that needs no confirmation, the par
ticulars of remarkable cure by Ayers
Cherry Pectoral, an article we have already
taken occasion to notice, and which we have
reason TO believe is worth notice. This
sufferer had been reduced very low from the
effects of Cold and Cough, caused by over
exertion at fire, nearly three years since,
and from which it was evident to his friends
that he was fast fastening to premature
grave. Many of the remedies of the day,
and the advice of eminent physicians, had
all failed to afford him relief, when he was
induced to try the Cherry Pectoral, which
soon cured him. The crowded state Of our
columns will not admit the full particulars,
but we earnestly invite the attention of our
readers to the advertisement in another part
of our paper Christian Chronicle.
