they may have originated, and no matter of how long
standing.
If you have contracted the terrible disease, which when
once seated in the system, will surely 60 down from one
generation to another, undermining the constitution, and
sapping the very vital fluids of life, do not trust yourself
in the hands of Quacks, who start up every day in a city
like this, and fill the papers with glaring falsehoods too
quainted with their tricks. You cannot be too careful in
the selection of a remedy in these cases.
The fluid extract Buchu has been pronounced by emf
THE GREATEST REMEDY EvER KNOWN.
1t is a medicine perfectly pleasant in is taste, and very
innocent in its action, and yet so thorough that it annili-
lates every particle of the rank and poisonous virus of this
disease and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up
the disease in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, brought on by ~selfabuse, a most
terrible disease, which has brought thousands of the hu
man race to nntimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant
ambition of many a noble youth, can be cured by this
INFALLIBLE REMEDY.
And as a medicine which must benefit everybody from the
simply delicate to the confined and despairing invalid, no
equal is to be found, acting both as a cure and preventive.

and all Scaly EruptiOns of the Skin.
This article is now pre- 'cribed by some of the most dis
tinguished Physicians in the Country, and has proved
more efficient in practice than any preparation of Sarsa-

dairy Syphilic, Mercurial and ScrOfulous diseases have en-
tirely recovered in the incurable wards of our public insti-
tutions, which had for many years resisted every mode of
treatment that could be devised. These cases furnish
striking examples of the salutary effects of this medicine
in arresting some of the most inyeteratc diseases, after the
glands were destroyed and the bones already affected.

PRINCIPLES OF THE AMERICAN

I. The unlimi ted freedom Of Religion dis.

ticai influences upon the affairs Of government
equality of rights to all naturalized Erni.
grants who are thoroughly Americanized, and
owe 10 temporal allegiance, by reason OF their
religion higher than that TO the Constitution.
ii. No Interference with the rights OF citi-
!zspship aleady acquired by Foreigners, and
the protection Of law to all who honestly eDi
crate from love Of liberty but the exclusion OF
foreign paupers and felons, and refusal to
extend the right Of suffrage to all who come
hereafter until they shall have resided II years
in the United States and complied with the
naturalization Laws.
III. Opposition to all political organizations
composed Exclusively Of Foreigners, and to
Foreign Military Companies, aud to all attempts
to exclude the Bible from Schools supported by
the government"
" Slavery is local-uot national we op
pose its extension in any of our territories ana
The increase of its political power by the ad-
mission into the Union of any Slave State or
otherwise: and we demand of the General Gov.
.rnment an immediate redress OF the great
wrongs which have been inflicted upon the
cause of Freedom and the Anercah character
bv the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise, and
the introduction OF Slavery into Kansas in vlo-
lation of law, by the force of arms, and the de.
structi Oh of the elective franchise.
V. In humble imitation of the wisdom OF
Washington, we oppose all intervention in the
affairs OF Foreign States yet on all proper oc'
casion, We will not withhold our sympathy
from any people aspiring to be free.
VI. We support American Industry and &C.
a.ius against the adverse policy of Foreign ma,
tions and facilities 10 internal sand external

VII. The Union of these States should be

HOW THEY LARnR

We understand that at the Township
Primary Election of the Slave Democracy,
held in this city on Saturday last, for the
purpose of making up respectable vote,
even old Wings were allowed to vote, and
unknown Know NOthings were solicited
to do SO. When Wings demurred to thus
participating in Democratic schemes, they
were encouraged to battle against the Kno,O
Notaings. Thus, as we have heretofore
charged, the Democrats drop their old ia.
vorite principles, except love for Office and
slavery, and have nothing else to fight
against, except the Know-Nothings, who
are trying to save our country from rum,
slavery and the Pope. Thus too, like his
satanic majesty, being without principle,
are our bunker opponents, contenting them
selves to oppose only that which is good.

space Of our paper in review Of the ar

the one half of the legal voters of the

bound to suspend all private deliberations

v Let us look at this for moment
The members of tho Republican party
who are not in the American organization,
are most certainly at perfect liberty to
meet together and deliberate upon subjects
relating TO the interest Of the country
either privately or publicly no one
has any right to complain. Why then
should the American party be charged with
unfairucss by reason Of its pursuing the
same course? This appears to US some
what like what is called prescription.
We propose meeting our Republican
brethren in Convention, on the broad plat
form of mutual rights and mutual priv
leges, as members of the same family
having in view the accomplishment Of tn
same object.
We claim no 6nality in anything we d.

LouIsYILLER RIOTS.


We have devoted several hours to the
Investigation Of the question; On whom
does the awful responsibility rest, as the
instigators Of the bloody riots Of the 9th
inst, in the city of LouisyilleH We have
had the testimony on all sides before us,
with the comments and decisions of inter-
ested Editors, and have arrived at the de-
liberate conviction that the misguided,
ignorant and superstitious Dutch and Irish,
prompted by corrupt Editors and political
demagogues, were the agressors. That
the Journal was at fault for publishing
some Objectionable sentences onthe morn
ing of the election, we'are free to admit
They were Of character susceptible Of
false construction, and the opposing party
took advantage of the unguarded Language
used, to excite the ignorant Dutch and
Irish to desperate. deeds of violence and
murder. The Sag-Nicht Journals of the
city had evidently been preparing the poor
deluded foreigners for months, for such
crisis. The anti-American organs had
been pouring forth the most severe anath
ames against the American party, applying
such epithets as "Thieves, robbers, cut
throats, traitors to their God and country
liars, murderers, dark lantern conspirators
hell hounds, dead enemies to all foreign
ers," &C., &c., thus creating the impress
ion in the minds of those ignorant for
eigners, that it would be doing Gods Ser
vice to exterminate such infamous wretchel
as were the Know-Nothings-from th'
city which they had polluted. The sam'
style of language is employed and th'
same means resorted to in this city to ex
cite foreigners against Americans, whicl
were pursued in Louisville, and unless Coz
in his overruling Providence prevent, th'
result may be the same, and fearful vii
be the retribution upon the heads of those
who are the instigators of such state o
things. We are sorry that we have no
the space to publish some fifty or sixt.
certificates and dispositions given and mad
by the most respectable citizens of Louis
ville-some of whom are Catholics-al
going to prove most conclusively that tn
foreigners were the agrcssors' But afte
all they are-in moral sense-one hun
dred degrees less culpable than are thoS
who have imposed upon their credulity
by false representations in regard to tn
principles aud objects of the America
party.

Drowning Men catch at Straws."

The old proverb holds goods even In
these latter days, and is forcibly illustrated
in the present bunker democratic party.
While that sinking party continues to
gtrugglc, until the final submerpion on the
second Tuesday in October next, every lit
tie circumstance is eagerly grasped at to
buoy up their dcsponding hope. Hence
the gusto with which they parade the ac-
lion Of few professed Americans, who
recently met in Columbus, upon their own
call, and nominated old Governor Allen
rrilnble as their candidate for Governor.
But even this will avail the hunkcrs moth
ing. The vote for Trimble will add moth
ing to Medill and at the most it will be
so small as to effect but little against Chase
The American party will stand firm to its
Liberty principles, and with the exception
Of very few malcoutents, will vote fol
Chase the intrepid opposer of Slavery
We would advise our friends, who unwit
tingly remain in the bunker democratic
party, not to ovcrAatter themselves Will
this Trimble move. The American part
does not reyamp and support old politician:
who had foSsilized quarter century age
The Trimball move has already proven il

WHOM THE GODS WOULD DESTROY,

WHOM THE GODS WOULD DESTROY,
THEY FIRST MAKE MAD.-Time was, when
some professed democrats, for policys sake,
would, at times, exhibit an anti-slavery

several instances in our city, where the
mask has been entirely discarded, and the
most ultra pro-slavery views openly avow'
ed. True, this is very much like the dog
who skulks along and snaps only, untf
driven close into the corner. Being nov
driven into the corner, the bunker democ
racy appear lashed into that state OF mad
ness, by the desperation of their cause
which is the sure forerunner of their de
structiOn. Friends keep clear Of tn
