We this week raise the name of this
distinguished Statesman, as the stand
ard,bcarer of the Democratic party for Sc.
Mr.. ALIENS character needs no eulogy
from our pen. lie is well known through
cut the length and breadth of this nation,
as always having been devoted to prin-
eiples and frmness of purpose. In every
position which Mr.. ALLEN has occupied,
he has never swerved from his duty to
his constituents and the interests of the
Democratic party. His public career
has been pure, and his principles those
Of the Democratic party. He has cx-
torted the praise of the honest and pat
riotic of all parties-even of many of
his foes. In every capacity he has al
ways proved himselfa TRUE SON OF
OHIO. Why should Ohio, abandon a
ma equal to any in this Union, for his
love and devotion to the Democratic
party, for one who is untried-whose
talents aresnot much above mediocrity--
whose Judgment is weak and uncertain,
because of a want of experience :? Why
should we? There can be no reason
given, and yet the policy of the Demo
cratic party, in years gone by, seems to
favor just such a candidate as our lead

The Democratic party, in u humble
opinion, have fallen into a great error
in casting off the old and tried men of
the party-men who have grown gray in
the councils of tho ration-men whose

order to make room for a ner0
This game has Lad its day
Let there be a selection made from
those who are candidates before the Con-
EeEtion-such trickery cannot win an
+. other time, The people, aswell as the
Democratic party, have had enough Of
running after strangesGods and strange
a.ert Give us a candidate for Presi-
dent IN 1856, possessing all the; clements
: OF a Statesman. and we have no fears of
the future success of the Democratic
party Mr4ILES above all our lead
ing Northern Statesman woald be- more
accepta6let to the South, than any other
man in the Union. He is sufficiently
National to reconcile both extremes of
this Union. It is our duty, then, to lay
aside all our predictions, and unite on
the FAVoRITE SON of Ohio-W NJ.

E& A new horseshoe has been in
vented by Mrs.. Short, of New London,
Connecticut. The peculiar feature is,
that the new shoe has not a uail or nail
hole in it Otherwise it is made in the
common form, and is held on to the foot
by an iron cap. Something in the shape
of low cut vamp of a mans leather shoe,
or the leather peak of a boys cloth cap.
The iron cap on the hoof is about two
inches wide at the toe, but narrower on
each side towards the heel. 1t is SO thin
as to be a little flexible, and is fastened
to the foot by a screw passing through
the two ends behind the heel. The lower
edge of this cap fits into a grove cut in
the outer edge of the shoe, which holds
them together and the screwifastons them
both to the hoof. This cap docs not
come to much wear, and viii cut last
many shoes.

penn.rlrnnia IRONING up.

The Pittsburg Gazette (Whig.) of
this morning. says:
at is needless to go into detail about
the result in this State. Our readers,
have no fancy, we know, for reading a
mere list of democratic majorities, and
that.is all there is to put down.
Chester, Delaware, Bucks, and nearly
all the old Wing counties in the east
elect the democratic ticket. In Dauphin,
the Know Nothings elect two members
of the House, and-thesc with the two in
Philadelphia are all that are certain.
The Democrats elect Senator'S in Phi
ladelphia, Bucks, Bcrks, York, Ale
gbeny, Montgomery, Northampton and
Lehigh, and Shuykill, certain; and have
probably carried E. of the eleven 20 be
elected this year. The House will be
overwhelming democratic,

RAISING BLOOD & CONSUMPTION
Mr.. Mine, Builder, in Brooklyn, was
ATTACKED with raising blood, followed by
a cough, pain in the side, and all the u
suat symptoms of consumption. He en-
ploycd two of the best physicians; they
did him no good, and tod him he could
not lice.
Hearing Of the wonderful cures per-
formed by Sherman's Balsam, he sent at
10 o'clock at night to Mrs Hayes, 136
Fulton street, and got bottle; it operated
like charm, stopped the bleeding adm
cough! Before he had taken one bottle
he was able to be about his work. 1t had
saved his life. His daughter, residing at
I27 Myrtle Avenue, can attest it.
Miss Ann Maston, of Williamsburg
living in Tenth, near South Fourth St,
says-That she had been troubled with a
hacking cough, and pain in the chest, for
long time, which at last become so bad
that she was obliged to give up her school
for more than year She then commen-
ced taxing the All-Healing BaIsam-
which soon alleyiated her symptoms. She
is now fast recovering, and has resumed
her laborious occupation as teacher
IA years Mr.. John O'Neil, 10th ave

raising of phlegm, and pain in his side.
He could get no relief til he tried the

from his side, allayed the cough, and
brought the disease uponrthe surface; and
before he had taken three bottles, was
entirely cured.

siding SO Sheriff street, has for years been
subject to ATTACKS of Pleurisy, RAISING
Of Blood, severe Cough, Shortness Of
