Hon. G M. Dalias,s Speech.

The followingi is correct report of the speech made by George M. Dallas at the banquet re- gently given to him by the Lord Mayor of Lon- don:
 "My Lord Mayor, ladies and gentlemen:- The very kind and complimentary language with which your lordship has prefaced the last toast of the cordial manner in which it has been received by the distinguished assembly are en- titled, and hope will receive, my return of gratitude. In truth, am almost bankrupt in the language of thanks; for, ever since land ed in the dominions of your illustrious Queen, as the representative of the American govern ment and people, have met with nothing but series of the most fattering demonstrations of welcome and hospitality. [Cheers.

The Two Horns of the Dilemma.

Whatever position Mr. Fillmore may assume on the dark-antern question, he is bound to be goaded by one or the other horn of the dilem- ma. For instance, the Washington Organ says:
 "We trust that no American will in any form give countenance to the idea that MT. Fillmore lSnow anything else than an American in his political relations.
 If we supposed for moment that Mr. Fill more if elected, would resuscitatr the old whig party, and abandon the platform and principles of the American party, we should respectfully decline to render him even our feeble aid, to reach the position which he has once adorned Far from it."
 Per cont,u the New York Mirror, which supports Fillmore, speaks out as follows:
 We must frankly say, that if Mir. Fillmore has stopped to the imposition of the degrees and pledges of any secret, oath bound league that will shackle his liberty to appoint or to re- move from office any man who may be eminent ly worthy or unworthy to discharge the duties of his position, a0e canaot ant De aoiN not work, write, or vote for his election"

 Nea0 Fork, Nov 20. 1852. Knowing from experience, the valuable qualities of o.. N'Lanss Vermifuge and Lirer Pa1ls, prepared by Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh, have for sometime back considered itmy duty, and made it my business to make those articles known wherever went amonp my friends. short time ago I became acquainted with the case of young girl, who seemed to be troubled with worms and liver complaint at the same time, and had been suffering for some two months. Through my persuasion she purchased one bottle of Dr. M'LANE's VERMlFuGE, and one box of LIVER PILLS which she took according to directions. The result was she passed large quantity of worms and thinks that one box of the Pills will restore her to perfect health. Her name and residence can be learned by calling E. L.

A few days since the Springfield (Massachu- setts) Argus asked what was to be done with the money which the Kansas lecturers are col lecting under the name of aid for Kansas" {" The Boston Telegraph, black republican print, replied that it was none of the Argus's business; and the Argus rejoirs:
 "lt would seem that we touched tender point when we inquired about the destination of the Kansas fund. The black republican papers evidently don't like to tell. Are we right in supposing that none of this money col Iected as Kansas aii' will go to Kansas? tha; 1t Is to be used as vast electionecring or cor iuption fund.- in the presidential Canvass?
