that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evil
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use

that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appa-
rent to escape observation and where its virtues
known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous atfec-

of COLDS, CoUGHs HoARsENEss, &C.; and for
CHILDREN it is the peasantest and safest medicine

Hon. w. A. Graham for Eill.n ore.

The Raleigh IN. CO. Register gives report of
the speech delivered by The Hon. W. a.. Grahafn, at
a Fillmore and Doaelson ratifcation meeting re-
Gently held in that vicinity in which that gentle
man heartily and cordially approved of the nomi
nations. Mr.. Graham declared himself an old
fashioned Wing of the Henry Clay school, and not
a member of the American party, although he en-
dorsed their principles in the main. And if the
fruits of this party were 70 be seen in the nonina
tons of such men as Millards Fillmore, it was q
party to do great good. He did not care who nom-
| mated hinl-whether he the nominee of the
Democratic party of the Wing parry; he oras for
| him, for he acas has choice abooe all men. That
since the death OF the great and yenerated Clay, he
regarded Mr. Fillmore as possessing more eminent
qualities for the office of Chief Magistrate than any
man among U.S. He knew him to be honest and
faithful, and just-that his mind was elevated and
capacious,. and comprehended all the diverse and
vast interests of great ConfedeIacy of States.
That he had been severely tried at time quite az
dangerous and threatening as now and had tran
quilized the storm that ragged SO violently and so
| feariully.
1 He had been one sof FillInore's confidential adj
visers when President, and could testify as to his
| patriotism and abllty---how true and answering
he was in his devotion to the Constitution and the
Union, amidst the dangers and difficulties that sur
rounded him-how justly and firmly he exercised
his authority in suppressing agitation and in main
/ tanning the majesty of the law. He Mr.. Graham)
had nothing unkind TO say against the respectable
| gentleman who now filled the Presidential chair
St he could not forget, that while Mr. Fillmore had
ID out of Office every Freesoiler in his own
ss.lte, M Pierce Ind discharged flom Office the
4 Collector Of the port OF New York, because ht
would not use the patronage of his place in reward
ing Freesoilers. That Judge Bronson was poltels
informed by the Secretary Of the Treasury, "a

was nominated by the Buffalo convention-as aboli

true to his country and himself would not appoin
the Freesoilers and consequently discharget
from office. This act Continued the speaker ha
given, in my judgment, greater impetus and i'm
p pulse to the Abolition party than anything that ha

The Nashville Banner invites the attention oi
honest of all parties to the subjoined extract
of speech made by A. o. P. Nicholson Esq, at
Gallatin, Tennessee on the 26th of July, 1852, as
reported in the Nashville Union of August 2, 1859
"He next inquired into the influences which led
to Gen. Scots nomination, and showed them to be
freesoil and anti-comproise in their character He
showed that Fillmore and Webster We're both sacri-
feed for their compromise sentiments, and that Gen
Scott was nominated because his doubtful position
made him more acceptable to the enemies of the
compromise He commented at length upon Gen
SCOTS letter of acceptance, showing that it con
tanned no express endorsement of the compromise
but the contrary palpable bid to Its enemies.
He read that portion Of the letter in which he (Scot
stated that he will not in the appointment of Off

law. He thought this was plainly saying to the
enemies OF the compromise that they would not be
prescribed aud turned out of office because of their
opinions. 1t this prescription that had ruined
Fillmore at the NORTH

The scheme orthc Administration

"The creatures Of accident are seldom sup
piled with justice, moderation, or gratitude"
Lied by sordid motives, they foolishly conclude
that as they reached the summit without any
assistance from personal virtue, experience, or
abilities, cunning, impudence, and corruption
will retain them there"
So speaks the Washington Sentinel, (State
Rights Democrat with reference to MIR. Pierce
and his claims for reelection, and to the un-
scfhpulous means he and his friends are using
to effect his nomination at Cincinnati. Well
may the Sentinel refer to the President as

placed in the lead. Unthought of for the Presi-
dency by single one among the many millions
Of his countrymen, until the Baltimore Conyen-
ton of 1852 had vainly spent days in consider.

Cass, Buchanan nor Douglas could be nominal

than Roman virtue refused the gift of power
he is now devoting his administration, and his
friends are devotiug their efforts, to pNpetua-
ton of his authority, or at least to rencmina-
ton of himself for the Presidency. Of course
| the great body of the office holders are intent
upon the scheme. His success is their reten
ton of the spoils; and to effect that object
Buchanan and Douglas must give way: while
Dickinson-almost the only man, who has in
this country refused such a nomination-mus
be trampled on and crushed, as he has been fol

can do it.
But our intention, at present, is to republisl

AN oLD-LINE Vines VIEWS OF Mr.. FILLMORE
The Americans of Bedford, Va, had very large
ratification meeting week or two ago. The Hon.
VIM L. Goggin, an old-line Wing, who never
connected with the American party under its former
organization, and who, believe, did not support
the American State ticket at the last election, was
called on to preside, and made most stirring and
eloquent speech. There seems to be no doubt that
all the old-line Wings win support the American
Presidential ticket,not only throughout the South
but throughout Ike North. We make one extract
from Mr.. Goggin's speech: =
81 want no platform for MilIard Fillnore--his
platform Is the imperishable history of his own ad
fninistration which is written in letters of living
lioht 50 that no man for moment can doubt.
Would you want platform for George Washington
or James Madisonf Would you want stake to
tcther the Father of his Country and the Father of
The Constitution If you would, then, l say, make
one for every man, however true and faithful be may
have been.
But if Mr.. Fillmore is to be compelled to stand
on platform, ean tell you if You make 1t out OF
Me wreck Of the Constitution, he win not stand on
ithe will not let you take shere little and there
