0TThe Old Liners are discussing the ques-
tion-whether or not Fillmore IS "a Know
Nothing. Some say he is and others just as
emphatically deny the statement. They need
not trouble themselves. They may rest as
sured he is an american, heart and soul, and
second to no other American in the country.

The State Sentinel and Illinois Papers.

The Southern Illinoisiap, at Marshall, lately
o Know Nothing paper, with the flag of Sam
Houston at it's head for President, has changed
hands, and is now q. good Democratic journal.
II comes to us with the name Of STEPHEN A.
DOUGLAS for President congratulate the
Democracy of Southern Illinois upon the
change State Sentinel.
The Marshall Ilinoisian has always been a
Democratic paper. and a very violent, although
well edited paper. There is also a Southern
ulinoisian publishedat Shawneetown Illinois,
which has always been known as Democrat
ic paper, although it has not been able lately
to swallow Douglas. Hear this paper on the
American nominations:
FILLMORE AND DoNELsoN.-These are the
names which the American party have inscrib-
ed upon their banner to lead them through the
Presidential campaign of SO. They might
possibly have chosen a better ticket, but GER
tainly not more available one. Their stan
dard learers are both 'tried and { ne men 'and
are, with but few exceptions, acceptable to the
great body of the party! But we think their
success depends altogether, or in great de-
gree at least, upon the action of the Democrat
ic and Republican Conventions, which are yet
to assemble and select their candidates for the
Presidential contest.
The same paper re-publshes the following
notice of Gov. Wright, from the State Senti-
NEIL written by Mr.. Cotton, the amiable asso-
ciate editor. of that paper, and whose Democra-
cy received patent from the Old Liners at the
Capital, by presentation to the lucky fellow of
some silver plate. Probably Mr.. Cotton rec
ognizes the handwriting on the wall:'
The local columns of the Sentinel have for
the past few days, been filed with onfs of
Gov. Wright's speech at the New York State
Fair. These pufs were selected by the Gov
ernor himself and published at his request,
and during our absence from the city inserted
in, the local department of the paper, against
our wishes and much to our regret, as we de-
sire above all things to avoid the charge of hav-
ing been the medium through which most
a,rant deneagogue has blown the trumpet of his
own vanity and demagogueism. Had we been
at home the articles should not have appeared
on our side Of the paper.
Indiana Sentinel, Jan. %.
The Illinoisian taking its cue from the Sem
tinel and Cincinnati Enquirer, thinks that
Gov. Wright deserves this. aad says Indiana IS
not the only State blessed with such dema-
gogues. We trust the Sentinel VIII post IT.

The ANTECEDENTs OF Ministerial short time
often works great changes in individual history and
station. Not many years since, says the Detroit
4drertiser few young men left the Western States
for Mexico and among them Mr.. Tndall,
who had been resident of Oxford. Oakland coun-
ty, Michigan, where his relatives reside. On their
way they fell in and became known to one Parker
II. French, who Joined them and created very ia
vorable impression in his favor, by his afable
manners and convviality of disposition. They trav-
ellcd along together, French gave hourishng &C.
count of himself, his resources and prospects. and
in the end persuaded his fellow travellers to loan
him all their money, with which he bought mules
to take out speculation. He gave them his drafts
on banking houses in Philadelphia and New York
but unable to keep his own unset told an intimate
friend in confidence, that the drawees would have
good time getting their pay upon them. This put
the emigrants on their guard, and having no other
means to reimburse themselves of the money of
which they had been swindied they took possession
OF the mules. French left them and they saw moth
ing more OF him for several weeks, when one night
when they were on their way from Vera Cruz to the
city OF Mexico they were surprised and attacked by
band of Mexican rancheros, with French at the
head. They escaped with their lives. but lost most
OF their property in mules and baggage. Tndal
shot French twice in the body and left him for dead
upon the ground, supposing that the end of
him. The next news he had Of him, French was
full Minister to the United States, from that indie.
pendent government of Nicaragua. So goes the
world.

From the above table it will be perceived, that
without including double and treble tracks, have
now in the Union q, 242 miles of railroad, and we
have probably 2,0OO miles of double track, making
in all more than 81, 600 miles of iron way length
more than sufficient to encircle the globe at the
equator: Within ten years the length has been
quadruplcd, and since 1850 alone, trebled. 1t will
also be seen that the annual increase has been in
increasing ratio and that this increase is to be
tnued in the future it need only be stated that there
are now at least 5000 miles in process OF construc-
ton that will be in before the end of the year
1857. Truly this is wonderful age. and what may
another quarter of a century produce, seeing the
pleted railroads at $50 900 per mile, the capital now
invested in this interest amounts to $697 200 100.

REMEDY FOR CoUGH-Ihis is the season for
coughs and colds; and amid the changes of the wea
thcr too much and caution cannot be taken in
regard to them. There is simple remedy for cough
which We have occasionally tried and found efec-
tive and can, therefore, recommend it. 1t is mix
ture of onc-third antimonal wine, one-third syrup
of s9uills and onethird parcgorc, in equal proper
tons, mixed. \ swallow of it occasionally. so as to
mOistcn the throat II is innocent in its effects, and
can at any rate, do no harm. The apothccaries will
sell six pence worth but the best way for those
who afford it is to get it at some reliable drug
gists say twenty-five cents worth of each in Separ
ate bottles and mix it, they want it themselves.
In respect to the antimonial wine, an article is
sometime sold have reason to believe, where al
cohol, instead Of wine, is used in the preparation.
In that case it would be too strong. Almost every
druggist of good reputation, however, has the pre-
paration as should be from its name. The only in
convenience from using the other, already stated,
is its being stronger than most persons can BEAR and
is too heating for the system
Persons having cough, too, should be careful to
abstain from the of cold water a drink, and
also, so far proper, from its an external ap.
plication. free bathing from pure alcohol instead
of water, Of the throat and chest to be wiped dry
afterward, would be of service.
Persons having cough, also, would find much
benefit from wearing over the throat and chest
layer of cotton batting scwed fastened inside of
piece of canton flannel 1t could be suspended by
a string from the neck, fastened inside of the gar
ments. The cotton, of course, must be placed next
to the flesh.
We need not say that should at all times be
taken to keep the feet dry and comfortable, and avoid
as far as possible at any time, letting the blood in
any way become chilled. Those most subject to
coughs and colds are the poor, who have to expose
themselves to the weather and to such, and others.
an observance of the above hints may not be unat-
tended with at least some beneficial effect.
