A Speech from Parson BrownloW

The following was Brownlow's rati.
fication speech in the Philadelphia
knownotaing Convention:
T. Loud cries were now made for
Drownlow, Of Tennessee! On takiug
the stand in the response, he said that
his speech on this occasion would be
like all his former speeches, short and
sTeo,. For seventeen ,ears he had
performed the dreadful service Of ed.
iting n political paper, and he could
say ia that connexion that his paper
had the largest circulation Of any
political paper in Tennessee. He had
fought hard and long for the Whig
party, but he had seen fit to leave that
organization. Why, with Millard
Fillmore to Iced, and even with Josh
Giddings behind him, we could carry
our State. But with this large patri
otic greasy Tennesseean (pointing TO
Major Donelson, the Pierce party will
be a transcendental nothing. He
should 60 home with the determine.
ton to jump higher, and squall louder
than any man in Tennessee, and
would open the ball at Knoxville, on
Monday next. (Applause and laugh
ter. 1t had been understood a. ar
ranged that Major Donelson would
be put ON the ticket with Andrew
Jackson in big letters and Donelson
invisible, and then the old line Demo.
Gratis wo'ld think that old Hickory had
come to life again. He then proposed
the party should dispsrse, having done
the good work. ... ls
The idea developed by Parson
Brownlow may be thus carried out :
ANDREW JACKSON donelson.

NEw York, Sept. 1s. The Republican and

NEw YoRk, Sept. l8. The Republican and
North American Convention at Syracuse,
which closed its session to day, has attracted
more attention than any political move
ment during the campaign in this State.
The triumph of the " barnburner" portion
of the party has caused feelings of disaffec-
ton far deeper han are expressed. the North
American portion of the Syracuse Convention
turned out a sorry affair fur its leaders.
Gearge Law, Esq, who was expecting a un-
ion of the two parties. and himself to be
nominated Governor, failed even to get q
respectable hearing from the Republicans.
The great body of the party opened repudia-
ted their leaders, and have called a State
Convention at Rochester, on the 23d inst,
which it is believed will declare In favor Of
Fillmore and Donelson.

Vs. Dr.. M'LANE's LIVER PILLs.-This great
medicine has supplanted al. Others for the cure
of diseases of the Liver. Its effects are so salu-
tary and speedy, and at the same time so perfect
ly safe, that it is not surprising it should super
cede all others. Invented by a very distinguish
ed physician of Virginia, who ~practiced in a re-
gion of country in which Hepatis or Liver Com,
plant, is peculiarly formidable and common, and
who had spent years in discovering the ingredi-
dents and proportioning their quantities, these
Pills are peculiarly adapted to every form of the
disease, and never fail to alleviate the most obsti-
nate cases of that terrible complaint. They have
justly become celebrated; and the researches OF
DR.. MI4an have placed his name among the
benefactors of mankind. No one having symp.
toms of this formidable complaint, should be with.
out these invaluable Pills. Have you a pain in
right side, under the edge of the ribs, which in.
ereases with pressure-unable to lie with ease on
the left side-with occasional, sometimes con.
slant, pain under the houlder-blade frequently
extending to the top of the shoulder? Rely up
on it, that although the latter pains are some
times taken for rheumatic, they all arise from dis
ease of the Liver /; and if you would have relief
go instantly and buy a box of DR.. M'Lane's Live
Pills.

NERVOUS DISEASES CONTROLLED AND
CONQUERED.
Of all the various ills that detract from the err.
joyment of human life, most of them may be
traced to a disordered condition of the nervous
system. The horrors of Epilepsy, or Falling
Sickness, arise in most cases from this cause. Our
readers may remember, on several occasions be-
fore, we have alluded to the wonderful cures, or
notifications of Fits. made by the Vegetable Ex-
tract Epileptic Pills, invented and prepared by
DR.. Seth S. Hance, of los Baltimore Street, Bal
timore, Md. We feel fully satisfied that these
Pills have cured some of the most stubborn cases
of Epilepsy, as we'll as the milder forms of Fits,
such as severe Cramps, Spasms, &c. We now re-
cord the fact, that persons will find these Pills
equally efhcacious in curing every form of nervous
debility no matter whether manifested in the
acute and excruciating form of Neuralgia, Tic
Doloreux, or Nervous Headache, the misery of
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, the suferings of Rheu
matism or GOut. the melancholy hailucination
of depressed spirits of hysteria, their effects
will be equally happy and certain. Persons in
the country can write to the inventor, and have
the medicine forwarded to them by mail. The

From tho American Mining Chronicle.
A New Pump-Lindsey's Patent.

Good pumps being objects Of the first neces-
sity tn all mines, Railroads. and Manufactu.
ring Establishments, every improvement in
their construction calls for notice at our
hands.
The main requisites that go to make up a
good pump, are, capacity to raise the greatest
amount Of water with the least expenditure
of power, non-liability to get out Of order,
and cheapness in the first cost. The pump
which forms the subjectof our present notice,
possesses these qualities in an eminent de.
gree.
The advertisement, with illustrative cut,
which may be found in another column, gives
a good general idea of the invention.-The
pump barrel is placed horizontally at the
bottom Of well or mine, and is made To ~revolve
by the hollow perpendicular shaft which
opens above tho surface. Each end of the
pump is furnished with n piston, the outward
extremity Of its rods being provided with
friction wheels. As the pump barrel r~evolves
these wheels come in contact with the cam
shaped half-circle, and the pistons are thu,
alternately moved in and out the pistons ar,
connected together by rods, so that when on,
is pushed in the other goes out. -.
The action of the pistons forces the waite
nj the hollow shaft, and it escapes thougI
kiG CIhllhy htld cav ~ ~ - bAlO " btu
purpose. Motion is given by turning tn
handle. The basin on top is large enoug
to receive the water as discharged.
There is but one opinion Of this pump
from all who have seen it in operation an
that opinion is, that it is a decided improve
ment ON all other pumps now in use, for tn
purposes for which it is intended. On
great advantage which it possesses being, tbs
there is, in point of fact, no limit as to ii
-height to which the water may be lifted
while the increased labor required to raj
water from great depths the great draw-baC
to the best force pumps is here scarce
perceptible Of course Its superiority to Il
ordinary pumps in use, is still more strong
marked.
We can strongly recommend the pump
oil who want one cheap, durable, easily S
mp and worked, simple in construction al
not likely to get out Of order. All who Ina
to raise the water to a height exceeding thir
feet, will find it particularly adapted to th,
wants.
