HAMILTON, Ohio, Nov. 10, 1855.
DIR. RoBAck-Dear Sir: have read in the
newspapers many accounts of cures effected by
your Scandavian Remedies, but consider my
own case at leastsas interesting and as marvel
Gus as any of them. So far as you are con-
cerned, one testimonial more or less is of little
consequence. Your fanie is established, and
nv statement cannot add to your celebrity.
But fer rithe benefit of my fellow creatures, l
desire to make known the facts. WhenI called
upon you, at theSinstance OF dear friend, on
the 21st of March. last, l had been nine years a
sufferer from catarrh. The irritation of the
nerves and membrane of the head was so in
tense that sometimes it almost drove me crazy.
l could not sleep, and was never free from un-
pleasant sensations. At various times five
different physicians had attended me, each one
treated me in his own way, but none of them
did me any good. l despaired of ever seeing
another well day, and when l called at your
consultation rooms, had very little hope of re-
lief. BY your advise, | entered Immediately
upon regular course of your Scandinavian
Blood Purifier and Blood Pills. l was encour-
aged by the cheerful, hopeful way in which
you spoke, and l resolved strictly to follow
your direction. In less than a week, all the
worst symptoms of my complaint began to
take milder form, and so continued TO i'm
prove from week to week until, at the end of
three months, my head was entirely relieved,
snd every. trace of the catarrh had left me.
Still, however ! continued to take the reme-
dies for nearly six weeks longer because
found they were building up my strength and
fort:fying my constitution. Six months have
passed since the cure was finished, and have
had no sign of a relapse. | should be glad to
see this letter, or the substance of it, in print,
for the guidance of others.
Yours, with heartfelt gratitude,

JOHN VAN BuREs For Mr.. BUCHANAN
Prince John goes with his "da-da," for Mr..
Buchanan. He made speech few days
ago in New York on the subject, the follow
ing paragraph shows what John thinks or
the portion of the platform dedicated to the
slavery question:
81 am aware that some gentlemen whom
formerly acted-a few, as / trust--see the
matter in different light. Like myself they
form their own convictions, as they have
right to do, and act upon them. They seem
to suppose that some new rule has been laid
down, or some new principle avowed upon
the subject of slavery which calls upou them
to quit The Democrat party. ! see no such
thing. Entertaining similar sentiments in
some respects, with themselves: yet see
nothing in the proceedings of the Cincinnati
Convention that calls upon me to quit the
party in which have been born and reared.
TApplause.1 am told, that in looking at
the resolutions of that Convention, they
have been able to discover that thev pledge
the Democratic organization to the extension
of slavery to free territory. | have read
these resolutions carefully, and with what
little intelligence have been able to apply TO
them can find no such thing in them.
offer reward, now, to any Of those highly
intelligent Republican gentlemen to point
me--not to an outrage in Kansas, not
scufile in Washington, not TO an improper
speech, or orimproper newspaper art'cle-but
to line or sentence in the Cincinnati resolu-
tions which advocates or encourages the ex-
tesion of slavery to free territory. lap

fleet horse, headed him just MS he emerged
from the woods to which he had taken when
discovered, but as soon MS he found himsr II
nj bay he bounded at the rider, tore him from
his saddle, gouged out one of his eyes, and
bit n large piece from his shoulder. He then
threw the saddle and bride from the horse,
mounted the animal and dashed off at full
speed. The riders party having been Joined
by n party of Indians, continued the chase,
and belief is entertained in Arkansas that
he will be captured. He is described as an
athletic man, about six. feet four inches
high, and covered with hair ofa brownisl east.
He has evidently been nm adept at the

therefore addressed letter to the Conven

which was read. From that letter we make
the following extr. ct, which should be read
by every old line Wing in the South:
"As cannot fulfil the commission con.

have selected him as their standard bearer,
as expounded by him, are essentially conser-
vativp. And even there be- in the platform
of the American party some political dog

with the other platforms, 1t is comparatively
