Buchanan Not in the Race.

We publish to-day extracts and articles
from reliable papers in every quarter OF
the Union, showing the fact, beyond dis
pute, that Mr. Buchanan is not In the
Presidential contest, and that the race In
the Northern States is between Fillmore
and Fremont. There is no earthly chance
of electing Buchanan before the people.
Every vote given for him will enbarrass
the South and tend to throw the Presi-
Dental election into the House of Rep
resentatives- But the People are NOV
ing. They have awakened to a sense of
the true condition of the country, and
will save and preserve the Union by elect
ing Mr. Fillmore to the Presidency.
1t is truly edifying to see the anti-Amer-
lean disunionists of Arkansas, who, on
the passage of the Compromise Measures,
including the fugitive slave law, said that
''the Union ought and ,coutd dissolce =
it is amusing as well as edifying to see
these same hating, Union -ha-
ting gentry, begging the people to vote for
Buchanan and save the Union. The peo-
pie will beware of these political tricksters.
They know that their professions are
naught, but the hollow truce of enemies
spoken by the forked tongues of deceit

A Novel in James Style.

A writer in the Knickerbocker gives the
following as the opening chapter of a new
romance called "Geordie, or the Kings
Pet" by G. P. r. Q. 2. James:
'It was near midnight, toward the close
of the afternoon on a sultry morning in
December. IS, previous to the revolution
of the last war, when the burning moon
was setting in the eastern aky, casting 3
brilliant shadow upon the gorgeous clouds,
which entirely obscured the armament;
and the unclouded sun was sending down
its MONDAY beams with an intensity of
heat, like the shrieking of heavy thunder
through the deep mountain gorges of the
western prairies.
"Lovely, indeed, was the sound of such
a spectacle to the feet of the weary trav-
eler, for three feline monsters of she deep
were just gathering together fer their
evening meal, and separating, ere the sun
was risen, for the sports of the chase, and
all things betokened a reposc too deep
FOR utterance
''ln the ensuing autumn, about two
years previous to the above mentioned
merry catastrophe, two pedestrians might
have been seen riding on horseback in a
three-wheeled carriage up the brow of
precipice under the side Of forest, which
hid been cut down before the trees had
begun to take root, and engaged in eating
their evening dinner by the road side in
the arms of Morpheus. The eldest of the
three gentlemen was young lady of about
Gfty-three. and about two years younger
than the other man, which latter gentle
man was, from the manner in which she
addressed him, evidently her only and
youngest daughter.
THE remainder of her dress consisted
OF two pair of pantaloons, neatly huttoned
round the tops of her ears, and elegantly
attached by golden strap of unwoven silk
to the axeltree of the middlc-aged gentle
mans horse
1.-The third individual. last mentioned,
was an old gentleman of about twenty two,
whose venerable features disclosed the livid
hue of the Siberian negro. His bald head
was profusely covered with long silver locks
of sandy jet, and which he had evidently
lost during a severe attack Of sea-sickness,
caught from the next door neighbor, who
resides several blocks from him in the
country. He also was richly attired in
the same manner as the body, being clothed
in wornout frock-cnat which was secured
by straps under his boots.
':His feet was bare, and save his gloves,
no had M garments to shiold him fro,n the
balmy atmosphere.
''He had lost both arms just above his
collar bone, and was constrained to wear
crutches; this, added to his total blind
ness, rendered him an object of general
admiration"

ASTONISHING EFFECTS OF GUANO.-
Although some people may be inclined to
doubt the truth of the following yarn, We
can bring forward any quantity of vouch-
ers An old salt, of our acquaintance, says
that when he was in the guano trade he
sailed as mate of an old brig which might
have been tender to Noah's ark On re-
turn tri p with a load of guauo, the matches
were left open one night and tremendu-
Gus shower wet the guano in the hold, and
produced most surprising effects. The
timbers of the vessel sprouted and grew in
all directions. Between decks was a com.
plete bowry. The forecastle became an
almost impenetrable thicket, and the cabin
a beautiful arbor. The rudder post being
made of white oak, grew up into s'hve
oak tree, which afforded grateful shade
to the man at the helm, though he was
sometimes annoyed by the acorns rattling
upon his tarpaulin hat. The masts became
very imposing with their evergreen foliage,
and, strange to relate, the foretopmast,
which had been carried away in gale,
grew out again, and the altitude Of all the
masts was so much increased as to render
the brig exceedingly crank. The vessel
had boughs on her stern, and the figure
head, Speaking iguratively) was as full of
boughs as dancing master. They were
obliged to prune the bowsprit and some of
the spars twice week. The quarter deck
WIS covered with shrubbery, and the cooks
house resembled rustic summer-house.
Grab apples grew on the pump handle, and
a cherry table bore fruit. Perhaps the
most remarkable circumstance occasioned
by the stimulating and fertilizing infu-
ence of the guano was that the cockroach-
es on board became so large that they could
get up the anchors and make sail on the
brig. One of the owners of the craft face
tiously remarked that she went out full
rigged brig and came home half bark
There is nothing like guano to make things
grow, and for strict truth and veracity

out on big yarn. Boston Herald.

already ahead with excellent wind and bot
tom, and at every stride, as he comes with
dilated nostrils and fiery eyes down the
course, leaves 'old squatter sovereign furth-
er and further in the rear. The shouts of

A paper entitled Daniel Websters So
cial Hours is published in Hayper's Mag
oztlae, from which we copy the following ::
"Rusk, of Texas said Mr.. Webster,
about the time he made his great speech on
the Compromise, Il consider the strongest
man in the United States Senate on the
Democratic side. He is no spouter, but
he acts; and upon what he says you can
rely. He will stand without being tied,
and you can attend to your matters and
find him when you return on the same spot
where you left him. He has all of Achilles
hatred of double dealing:
He who can think one thing and another tell,
- My soul cetests him the gates OF hel.'
His Indifference to fame makes him care
less, or he would assume the position in the
Senate and in the country to which his
commanding abilities entitle him.

AA PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
FAMILY PHYSIC.

Tuppp has long existed public demand for an
effective nnroative pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. 1hs mas
heen nrepared to meet that demand, anu oil eA'ei-
siye trial of its virtues has concusely SHOWN WITH
what success it accomphshes tne purpose ueslSneu.
It is easy to make physical pm, put not easy 70
make the best of all pills -one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, OF
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the nmblic decision 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgatlve
medicine is acrimonious and irritating TO the DOW
cls This is not. Many of them produce so much
oripinr pain and revusiOn in the system as to more
than countcrbalance the good to be derived rom
them These pills produce no irritation or paln'
unless it arise from previously existing oostruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
VEGETABLE no harm can arise from their use in an!
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
be taken iudiciously Minute directions for thcI
use in the several diseases to which they are APP
r!icabe are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them, we
NAV mention Liver Complaint, IN Its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of APP
petite Listlessncss Iritability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain IN the Side
and Loins for in truth all these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. AS an
aperient they afford prompt and sure relief IN Cos
tiveness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
and every case where purgative IS required;
They have also produced some sngularly sue
s in Rheumatism Govt %t,l 9Fq BsDs GF1t tS
Back. Stomach, and Side They should be freely
taken in the spring Of the year to purify the blood
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action and 5 resSres t the s Ape
stmulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body, and i, restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists but un-
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need of
cathartic medicine. Being sugar-wapped they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no
harm can arise from their use i'll any quantity.
For minute directions see wrapper on the Box.
