eB "A Kick from democrat is regarded as
more OF an honor by some of our adopted citi-
zens than nod from Republican"
Thus says a contemporary, and not without
truth. He refers to the case of Heating, the
murdered lrishman, whose murderer is sustained
and shielded from punishment by the democrats
in Congress, and yet the great mass of Irishmen,
by a bit of blarney, are sucked into the support
OF the Democratic party and its candi dates, with
as much ease as spnnge sucks up water.
IT the Sham Democracy should DECLARE in so
many words, that it is not crime to murder an
lrishman, we verify believe there are some Irish
men who would still continue to cling to the
party if certain politicians told them to. Strange
people, Chicago Journal.

A Human Life Saved

DowA6IAc, Mich, March II, 1856.
I a. RHODES, Esq: Dear Sir--As I took
e. your medicine to sell consignment, "nc cure no
pay" take pleasure Installing its effects as reported
to by three brothers who live in this place and their
testimony is fair specimen OF all have received:
W. $ CoSKLIN told me-" had taken nine bottles
of Christe's Ague Balsann, and continually run down
while using it until my lungs and liver CONTESTED
that degree that blood discharged from my and
bowels, SO that all thought impossible for me to live
through another chill The doctors too did all they could
FOR me, but thought Unjust DE- Nothing done any
good until got RHopEs' FEVER AGuE CURE which ut
once relieved me of the distress and my stom-
ach and pain in my head and bowels, and produced
permanent cure in short time"
II. NJ. CokKLrS says: 81 had been taking medicine of
good doctor we have in our county and taken
any quantity of quinne and specifics without, any good
result from 25th Aug 18th Dec But seeing how nicely
itopernted my brother, got bottle of Rhodes FE.
YER AND AGuE CURE which effected permanent cure by
using two-thirds of bottle"
s. NJ CoSKLN not here but both the other brothers
say; his case was the II. Ms. l sold the
medicine to both the day and the speedy
from the same small quantity, and might specify.
Yours with respect,
The above speaks for itself Good proof as It is It Is
of no better tenor than the number of like certi-
Gates have already published, and the still greater
amount that is continually pouring in to me.
ONE THING MORE Last year had occasion to CAUTION
THE PUBLIC in these words:
"InOtice fgUl gCio hare taken one Of mn Oeu,rol
coeutdTS substituted the name Of their n0struh for my
medecsne, dnd then aciM Jrdzen tmpuitGy end their
any oMer 1ne0tcsne say as much II he dares," dc.
Now take pleasure in saying that the CAUTION referred
to the CDR ChrstieS Ague Balsam" that is men.
toned in the above certificate.
There are several other industrious people who are ap
plying TO their poisonous trash all that publish about
my Fever and Ague Cure, autidote Malaria escept
ne Cfcdfes OF Cures and the certificates of the cele-
DRAFTED chemist, Dr. james r. Chiffon " in favor of
its perfectly harmless character which is attached to
every bottle These will always serve to distinguish my
medicine from limitations.

kansas aud the President.
Tho recent information furnished by the
President TO the Senate, in pursuance with a
resolution asking for it, is specimen of most
miserable pettiogging
The renowned Jefferson Davis, Secretary OF
War, furnished the correspondence between his
department and Col. Sumner He says he gave
Col. Sumner no authority "to dispense unarmed
meetings of the people Of that Territory, or to
prevent, by military power, any assemblage OF
the people Of that Territory"
Hisieters ofinstructons, however, commands
Col. S. to put down ''insurrectionary combina-
tions" and from what he knew of the .animus
of the Administration, he accordingly dispersed
the Legislature at Topeka, as such "combina-
ton" rssF. 4 4
Shrinking under this Gromwellian act, the
President ayows that he shall calf Col. Sumner
to account for it. sts1
His attention being called to it, he tlisowns
the act as his, and JEFF. Davis says that Col
Sumner did it without authority direct or impii-
ed! Public opinion has blasted the Administers
ton, aud to escape, it endeavors to shirk off on
an officer Of the army, an act it cannot defend,
but one which - course throughout, fastens
upon it. @afaSE 4 1g ESS.
Its thus, step, by step, that the Buchanccrs
are driven by their fears
The passing of Harbor Bills over the Presi-
dental veto, was one act which BETRAYED their
fear Of falling into the hands of the people
Then Toon,bs and Douglas came forward with
dead sea apple in the shape of new Kansas
Bili-and now the President finds tongue to come
forward and proclaim that the dispensing of the
Iopeka Legislature was an unauthorized pro.
ceeding, for which Col. Sumner is to blame!
Whata coward is he who is counselled by his
fears Chicago Journal.

u CANNOT wAiTiNG UPON wlLL."-Johu NJ .
Bolts, Of Virginia, in reply to an invitation to
speak at Brooklyn the other night, does not
take veryaencoaraging view of FImore's pros
poets. liz, seems to think every thing depends
upon the strength Gilmore shows in the North;
that the South will do its best for him If there is
any chance of HIS winning Why, Mr.. Bolts,
that IS precisely what our Fillmore friends at the
North are expecting from! They know he has
not look for any free state. and their whole
reliance is upon the gratitude of tho South. Mr.
Hllmore's old friends here would have no par
tiealar objections to vote for him, but the diff
Guilty is that they neither wish to throw away
their Votes, nor to be Instrumental directly or
indirectly in clecting Buchanan. And now it
seems the South has no more Partially for a
forlorn hope than the North, and until they see
some prospect of success, they do not care to
sacrifice their political position and influence
even to reward 80 faithful friend OF southern
interests us Willard Fillmore Y. Eve. Post.

The Fine ola ro.sll Bachelor.

III sing yoa fine old hallsd, made b. a fine
old pate,
Ola fine old fossil bachelor--the doughfacc can
didate;
Who in the White House wished to eil-b1t
as he had no mate,
The people thought, for one lone man, the man
sion was too great,
For the fine old fossil bachelor,
Was put up too late.
The fine old fossil bachelor to any thing would
swear,
And, if the party told him to, would vow that
round was square;
And to his principles was false, and changeful
as the air,
But faithful to ambition for the Presidential
chair,
Like fne old fossil bachelor
Who never could get there.
For while the fossil bachelor abode meath other
skies,
The vandals of his clique tore down solemn
compromise,
And built a structure-black and feul-in all
the peoples eyes,
And placeda platform on its top, that was made
up Of lies!
While the fine old fossil bachelor
< Might stand and show his size.
And the fine old fossil bachelor was to the plat
form led,
And then they placed the party moose lust un.
derneath his head.
But the platform was gallows-drop, and yield
ed to his tread,
And, kicking off his boots, he hung-political.
ly dead!
That fine old fossil bachelor,
From the platform stained bood-red.
