BEDFORD, Pa, August io.-The application
OF Passmore Williamson foI writ of habeas
corpus, came up Today before the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania, and was argued by
the Hon. Charles Gilpu and VIM. M. Mer-
edith. Their speeches occupied the Coun
for three hours, and were most able argu-
ments. All the Judges were present and some
time was spent in consultation. The Court,
finally, without coming TO a decision with
reference TO the application, adjourned to
meet at Sunbury on the first Monday in Oc-
tober next.

LET 1T DE UNDERSTOOD

That the political profigates who have re-
rea,edly heretofore opposed the Democratic
ticke, cannot claim TO participate next Sat-
urday in the choice Of delegates. Men who
have heretofore voted with Wings and Know
Noihings cannot claim 10 be Democrats. The
tree can only be judged by its fruit. Those
who have not felt bound by The action OF
Democratic conventions heretofore cannot
have any concern with them now, at least
moi until they give signs Of full repentance.

The Disiing uishing Genus OF tho Age.

Nature, now and then, brings folth such
geniuses as Newton, Shakespeare, Taleyrand,
Milton, Nelson, Napoleon, Washington,
Franklin, Jefferson, LulheJ Cromwell and
Jackson. Their powerful intellects conpell-
ed the world to admire them.
The genius of the presen! age is DI-cov-
ERY. In the progress of the arts and scien-
ces, this age is UNNECESSARILY superior TO any
former one. The present century stands
pre-emineul for its wonderful discoveries in
the sciences and arts. Among these, the no.
bio science of Medicine has made grea; pro-
sress. Professor Holloway has discovered
and prepared a remedy for the diseases Of
man in whatever cline destiny may have
given him bihh. We have, in former ar.
ticle, introduced 10 our readers this dslin-
gu:shed physician, whose reputation is al
ready engraited in The worlds history. AS a
physician, he has copied Nature, and among
physicians he stands the acknowledged En-
peror. Both in tho sale oil his medicines,
and in the number OF patients that have la
ken them, he is unrivslled. Professor Hol-
loway has la5ored 10 supply the human fam
ly with permanent remedy for their disea-
es, 10 which the afflicted may have recourse
with {. moral certainty that they will be cur
cd. There is no disease to which they will
not afford relief His Pills and Ointment,
prepared from selections from the vegetable
kingdom, with great care, will drive disease

intelligent minds of all nations, men dislin-
guished in every sphere Of life-ths states
man, philanlhrophist, conqueror, and those
whose highest aim is 10 do good 10 their fel.
low men, unite 10 their praises Of the rene.
dies discovered by Professor Holloway for
the removal OF disease.
In uniting i'll this general recommendation
OF The remarkable virtues Of Holloway's rem
edies we only perform Christian duty, which
the press should never neglect. Those who
are eminent for the good ihey do in tho
worle, have q just claim upon the press for
aid in extending the good 10 the extent of
their power. Therefore, we have delermiu-
cd TO express our opinion that HoLLowAY's

moval OF disease, and have restored millions
