rapid process Of Inauguration. The cause
Of orr weakness is beginning TO be UNDER
stood. This is great point gained. With
out knowing the seat of the disease, the
physician cannot prescribe remedy; or il
he does, he may only aggravate instead Of
curing it. The era we refer to is the era
OF internal improvements, Of the develop
ments of our resources, Of home institutions,
Of manufactures, Of railroads, Of agricultural
societies, model farms, farm schools, and the
diversity Of products grown. The subject
IS prolific, and one that ought to engross
the attention of the Southern people from
Maryland to Texas.

GREAT TRIUMPH.-The fact that one oil
the celebrated Excelsior Safes, manufac-
tured by Beard & Brother, SO Second street
remained in the fire at the City Buildings
for ninety hours, and was taken out red hot
and yet the books and papers contained in
it were in good order, and perfectly pre-
served-this fact, we say, is one which
should be borne in mind by every business
man in the city. We know that many Of
the safes now in use in this city, as fire
proof, are little better than sheet iron stoves
and would only serve in case Of fire to pre-.
serve the ashes of papers put in them fol
safe keeping. Beard s. Brothers. safes
have been put to the severest tests, and
have proved themselves to be fre-proof.-
Every merchant who has an unreliable safe
should at once dispose Of it, and get one o
Boards. The certificate published in an
other column, will satisfy the reader tina
the trial has been made Herald 4th.

From the Pennsylvania.
Hon. Thomas q. Benton.


Il has been our fortune al times, under
the convictions OF political duty, to differ
widely from some OF the policy advocated
by the distinguished gentleman whose name
heads this article, and 10 express in cecided
terms the disapprobationihen felt. We al
lowed him candOr and upfightness in his
course, and, we are quite sure, his nature
istoo lofty TO Rave denied us equal justice
in the course il became us TO adopt. While
thus dissenting in part, we always conce-
ded to Col. Benton those great qualities OF
patriotism, mind and sagacity, which have
gwen him so conspicuous a place among
our, eminent public men, and attracted TO
him the respect of statesmen at home and
abroad. No differences Of opinion and no
circumstances of disagreement, could in
duce us to ignore these distinguished traits,
any more than we could forget the force Of
his commanding character. ':'a
In recurring to these events at the pres
ent time, it is for the purpose Of giving
frank utterance TO sentiments more congo
NAL 10 our own tastes, and doubtless more
acceptable 10 the body of devoted and id
miring friends, whom long and conspicu-
ons career has attracted to Col. Benton
His earnest, devoted, laborious, self
iicing and patriotic services in the recent
Presidential canvass, won our admiration
and affection. Connected by the nearest
ties but those of blood with Col. Fremont
and attached to him too by the strong band:
VI family feeling and interest, he nobly dis.
csrded all personal considerations, and es.
poised the cause of a country, which he be-
lieved to be encompassed by serious danger
For his manly and elevated stand that coun
try owes him gratitude, and the Democratic
party recognition OF more than common
regard. We are proud to thank him, oil
behalf of the gallant Democracy OF thi
State for those great services, and to wei
come him as champion, who, in the hou
of peril, was faithful when the timid slirunl
and the brave stood still.
Every indication conspires 10 the ASST
rance that the new Administration is 10 b
beset by a logged and prosecuting opposi
tion, and that its policy is TO be distorted ant
decried, before even common experiences
has tested its wisdom or tried its substance
Their defeated candidate, with his banne
dragging in the dust, is already nominate,
for 1850. 1t behcoves the Democracy
therefore, to forget their divisions, TO heu
whatever causes of grievances may exist
and compacting their forces to present a de
termined and united front against the com
mon enemy. All national interests shoul
consent TO bury the Ratchet now, and con
tribute there efforts zealously, 10 give
hearty impulse to the principles and polio
which Mr.. Buchanan will inaugurate on tn
4th of March next. At such a time, tn
counsels of strong men like Col. Benton ar
needed; men whose experience, wisdom
craftsmanship and character will Civ
weight TO their support and dignity TO thei
measures,

Hurley's Sarsaparilla!

THE GREATEST MEDICINE of the ACCT
TINE Proprietor Of Hurley's Sarsaparilla has,
l. during the past season, received hundreds of
testimonials from all parts of the Union to the
virtues of this unequalled remedy, for a variety
Of diseases to which mankind is subject. In no
one case that he is aware of has it failed to give
satisfaction when taken according TO the direc-
tons enclosed with each bottle.
The Sarsaparllla Root has long been used by
the Faculty as a remedial agent, ii being found in
certain to be superior to all other remedial
agents known, but the great difficulty experienced
in obtaining the pure extract, and the nj mberless
quack preparations termed Syrups of Sarsaparil-
la palmed upon the public has operated TO pre-
vent its use so extensively as il deserves. These
objectious are all obviated in this compound

eterious mixtures. r....

E5The public lands in this district are
nearly all gone. We are informed that
there are not exceeding 100000 acres va
cant. Duringthe month'of November $780,
600 acres were entered. II is true much Of
this quantity was entered by spectators,
but notwithstanding the country is settling
up with unprecedented rapidly; and in five
years the country that was nearly half va
cant in 1850, will be the richest and most
densely populated inthe State. We know
of sales of land on the Hannibal Road at
$l5 per acre that was entered last year.
The contractors of the Hannibal and ST.
Joseph Rail Road are pushing forward the
work with commendable energy, and 80
miles out from ST. Joseph will be in run
ming order by the first of April. The cars
are already running out some miles on the
Hannibal end. The contractors expect to
have the entire road completed in IL or l8
months at farthest.--[ Liberty Tribune.

A Nrw DArcr.--A Petersburg paper
says, in select circles of Richmond society
new dance, bearing the name Of "The
Persian Ring" has just been introduced;
it is somewhat amusing, and may be imas-
ined from the following description:
1t begins by some six or eight couples
waltzing; chair is suddenly introduced
into the centerin which the first gentleman
seats his partner. He then leads up and
presents each of the other gentlemen in sue
cession. If the lady rejects, the discarded
retires behind the chair; but when the
fright man." as the old saying goes, arrives
she springs up, the tone and accent Of the
music are accelerated, and Off she waltze,
with the elected-the rest seize their part.
ners, and the circle is continued. All in
turn go through the process. Three chair:
are then placed. A lady Gin succession) il
seated between two bearers, who immedi.
ately solicit her reluctant regard, till al
length she gives herself to one, and waltz
ing is resumed. A gentleman is then seat
ed in center chair, hoodwinked, and I
lady takes the place on each side. In thi
perplexity of choice the Tantalus of tn
mirth remains till by sudden resolution h
decides for right or left uncovers the eyes
and waltzes away with the chance directet
partner, followed as before by the rest
The chairs are now placed triangularly do
dos, and three ladies are thus seated
The youths pace around them in circle
till each Of the fair ones throws her hand
kerchief, and away they again whirl. TIL
men then appear to deliver to each, but t
no one alone is given, ring, and the dane
concludes by the ladies passing hand i
hand through arches made by the extende'
arms of the gentlemen and each seizes hi
partner, and once more swings around tn
circle. We have learned that this dane
will be introduced in all the chief fashiona
bic hops of the coming season.
