There was not a jot Of propriety in this

Hoioioa's Ointment and Pills, certain
Remedies for Bad Legs and Old Wounds.
Alfred Goslet, aged q, was for nine years
afflicted with an awful bad leg, there were
several wounds in it, which defed all doc
tors skill and ingenuity to heal. lie tried
variety Of remedies, but was not benefited
by the same. AT last he was pusuaded to
have recourse to Holoway's Ointment and
Pills these remedies quicsiy effected a very
favorable change, and by continuing them
unremiltingly for three months, his leg was
completely cured, and his general health

persons are of the opinion that DR.. o. Smith

and we infer that our friends cannot be the
unfortunate persons.
BY the way, we will remind our readers
that Dr. Smith has been succeeded in his
profession here by Dr. C. b. Chandler, re-
Gently Of Tunbridge, a gentleman whose
reputation warrants us in ranking him as a
valuable accession to the profession and to
society here.

Mr.. WALToN In noticing, last week,
''what had transpired IN the investigation
Of the Board Of Education, you rightly said
"that there has already been established a
nearly complete uniformity in text books in
all the schools Of the State-good books in
to the bargain" But you erred in giving
the credit to SEA New York House" The
energy of a Portland publishing House
bore the expense Of the work, to the sacrifice
Of 10000 dollars. The 6rm was transferred
to Boston and does business under the cor
nomen of SANBoRN, CARTER, BAzrN & Co.
The books they introduced were Towns Re-
yIsed Series of Readers and Speller; Yields
Grammar and ParsIng Book and lIolbrook's
ChIld's Arithmetic. These books are now
used in the State generally, and all attempts
to disturb their uniformity have signally fall
ed, except in two villages, so far as the
knowledge Of the subscriber extends.

"like lightning from heaven" John is brave,

without the slightest premonition, and more
than ghostly grasp from the spirit, quite over
turned his equlIlbrium--both physical aud

Tess of our mission is all the encouragement We
require, and there Is no man here so base as to
wish to retire from the task and leave bis share OF

Soldiers, in view of the great trusts con6ded
to you, / need not impress upon you the
Importance of vigilance and order. To the officers

The most vociferous cheers were given at the
conclusion of this speech, and under cover OF the
acclamations the General turned upon his heel and
retired. The effect electrical, and the gloom,
or seriousness st least which had been worn upon
the faces of the troops ever since the disaster oil
Santa Rosa, gave place to bright glow OF enthn-
siasm and Of cheerful confidence. The men to sed
up their rifles and repeated their shouts as they
dispersed in squads across the Plaza; and even the
officers, whose business it was to act more gravey

"a Bit of HistOry.o

The Union and American on Saturday,
gave its readers 'bit of history" relative
to Van Buren's connection with the Demo
cratic party, and his withdrawal from it on
account of his freesoilism. 1t is not so
much matter of reproach against his party
that it had Van Buren, but that it has
many more like him. In fact, Van Buren,,
Benton, Blair, Niles, Welles, and Preston
King, once councillors Of high position in
the Democratic party, are contending and
attempting to prove by Gen. Jackson, whose
leigemen, true and bold. they were, that
they and their followers constitute "fhs
Democracy proper that the present pie
bald thing which bears that name, is cor
rupt coalition of Nullifers and Secession
lists with ofice-hankering Northern dough-
faces, under the lead of Pierce, Douglas,
Cass 4 Co.; which latter, for the sake of
the spoils, and the mutual interest of the
partnership, yield an ostensible adhesion to
the doctrines of the former, while they
conveniently maintain caste at home under
squatter sovereignty.
Blair's late letter, in which this srPoss
appears, gives an accurate analysis OF the
conglomerate mess in the dish labelled
Democracy. Extremism Of all sorts conSti-
tutes its basis-being an equal admixture
Of freesoilism and nullifcation-the whole
rendered intolerably disgusting Of late with
foreignisIn. There is not one healthfal.
conservative ingredient in its composition.
1t is not only nauseating, bat radically del
eterious and dangerous, if its effects can
not be eounterae.ed. The recuperativs
powers OF the country's constitution are
already falling under il, and il must be
thrown of or serious harm viii ensue.
The Umioa aud AnericsH boasts over
the discarding Of Van Baren. and not long
since its exnltation was great over what it
termed the paFifcation Of its party. No
one viii deny that the party was foul enough
to nai purihcatioH, but the thorOughness
with which Il was done admits Of doubt.

the Convention. Well, we shall soon learn
the result. We predict that if any of the
delegates from the South make the de-
mands set forth above, they will be reject
ted, and furthermore, that the delegates
will not have the manliness to retire. The
Democracy stands in need of Northern
aid, without which it cannot hope for sue
cess; and to achieve success, the demands
of the North viii be submitted to. We
believe furthermore, that the same motives
will prompt the nomination of a Northern
man for the Presidency.
