SOMETHING FOR THE MILLIoNu

VTE CALL THE ATTENTION OF ALL, OLD
w AM YOUNG, to this wonderful prepare
ton, which turns back to its original color gray
hair-covers the head of the bald with q luxuri
ant growth-removes the dandruf, itching. and all
cutaneous eruptions-causes a continual flow of
the natural fluids; if used as a regular dressing
for the hair, will preserve its color, and keep it
from falling to extreme old age, in all its natural
beauty. We call, then, upon the bald, the grey,
or diseased in scalps, to use it: and surely, the
young will not, as they value the flowing locks, OF
the witching curls, ever be without it. Its praise
it upon the tongue of thousands.

This Machine is recommended by most Of the
prominent farmers in the eastern part of the State,
as superior to the spike or cast offender, and much
more preferable, as the operator is free from dust,
and in no danger, as it is fed on the side, and
made of wrought iron. It is also adapted to
threshing fax, clover, timothy, &c. 1t will thresh
from 2 to 800 bushels per day, with 2 horses. This
machine especially recommends itself to owners of
Cotton Gins, as the same machinery for one will

CERTIFICATE.

This is to certify, that in the early part of 1856, l
was grievously afflicted, and after availing my
self of all the medical aid in my reach, without
advantage, in despair / applied to DIR. Johnston,
Of the Baltimore Lock Hospital, who after an ex-
animation, frankly told me my case was almost a
hopeless one. He, however, gave me (gratuitous-
ly, for l was poor and unable to pay for it) some
of his medicines, telling me to 60 home and try
them, stating at the same time, he feared my case
had passed remedial agents. L returned home with
the certainty, almost, of soon filling a premature
grave. | was advised to give the medicine a fair
trial, which I did, and in a very short time I was
cured-an1 now a year having elapsed, l am as
sound and healthy as / ever was.
Imake this statement in gratitude to DR.. John
ston, who will never see it, except perhaps in the
J papers, and also to let all others know where they
may apply with the certainty of being cured, TO
no one could be much worse than 1 was when
applied to DIR. Johnston. w. II. S.

1t is really astonishing to what low depths of
meanness some men will resort in order to secure
petty Office that will furnish them bread with
out an equivalent in Labor. individuals, who
have never been known only through the patron
age OF Government favors, and who cannot point
to one single monument as evidence of service
rendered their country, are now foremost in ira
duclng man who has given to the world work
that ranks him among the first scientific men of
the age--whose connection with American pro-
gress and science has made his name household
word in every cabin in the Union, and whose
trans Atlantic fame knows neither metes or
bounds. Amid all the hariships and bitter pri-
vations encountered and overcome by Fremont
IN his exploration of Californa--amid all the
blessings that have been the legitimate fruits
reaped to our countrymen from these hardships,
the pro-Slavery Press and politicians can only
pervert history and charge upon this great man
selfshness and peculations. But it was not al
ways thus. There was time when an impartial
world awarded to John G. Fremont a name that
will live as long science is known and civliza-
ton controls the destinies of man. None were
found at that time disputing his claims and right
to the laurels SO justly won--all Joined in his
praise, East. West, North and South--Whigs,
Democrats aad Free Soilers-Catholics, Pro.
testants and all--everywhere and everybody pro-
nounced his name with reverence and love.
Since then, however, John C. Fremont has fol.
lowed out the dictates Of his gre at heart and ta-
ken stand for Freedom as against Slavery by
becoming the standard bearer of the Republican
party. No sooner was this fact made known than
all the blood hounds of human degradation, en-
dorsed by all the pro-Slavery Press in the Nation
were let loose to traduce and hunt him down.
In fact, such base ingratitude was never before
exhibited as that which now marks the course of
the Administration Press-the libelous false
hoods they daily herald forth ought to make the
purple current of life freeze in the veins of their
readers. But there is God in Israel and ter.
rible retribution awaiting these miserable out.

TUESDAY, SEPT. %, 1856.


There was burst of spplause from the hearts
Of the American people at the nomination of
JoHs G. FREMoST which stunned the Administra-
tion party to its very centre, and from that mo-
ent to the present every resort to personal viii
fcation has been made to cast off the incubus
weighing it down. But the false charges and in
situations of dishonesty. backed by ingeniously
perverted documents, whose forthcoming was an
nounced from Washington, as the annihilation of
Fremont, failed in their intended work. The ex-
posure followed up the lie; the faIsehoods about
California speculation were ,ebutted by the
volunteered evidence Of such Democrats as Cass,
Bright, and Houston, and Forney's great master
piece Of stratagem to stop the ears Of the people
to the iniquites Of the proslavery party, failed,
signally and completely. The two extremes of
the North have expressed in thunder tones their
detestation of the Administration and its vile
system of vilainous denunciation.
The vlest imag nable charges wer. ndus'r nu
" circulated in Iowa, prior to her election, and
as she was reckoned the strongest Northern pro-
slavery State, it was extremely ANXIOUS to have
them endorsed by her vote; but the result was
popular majority of about 5000 against them
Repudiated in Iowa, these ingeniously concocted
falsehoods, doubly colored and vanished, were
thrown into the political scales of Vermont with
desperation and recklessness clearly exhibit.
ing the hazardous condition of the game at stake,
but in Vermont as in Iowa the result was vastly
against them, and exhibited once powerful
Democratic party reduced to a mere handful.
counting less than one-fourth of the votes, and
too weak to secure single member in one branch
Of the Legislature as the faintest manifestation
OF appreciation. Then came Maine, and from the
very depths OF that conservatism 80 winningly
appealed to for &c aid in saving the Union,''
shouts for Freedom and Fremont came ND in tones
that awakened the nation from centre to circum-
ference. majority of $500 is swept away by
mighty and unheard of avalanche, as town af-
ter town, county after county, and hamlet after
hamlet join in the chorus for Freedom.
Thus foiled and beaten by their own weapons,
no wonder feeling of terror and CONSERVATION
has seized their distracted ranks and eyery hope
of success vanished as note after note of the vic
torious song echoes from Iowa to verm mt, and
from Vermont to Maine, and which will soon be
taken up by the Freemen of Pennsylvania, and
Ohio to be re-echoed throughout the Union.
Thus noby does the work Of repudiai,on 20 on.

| 2. A deep-seated difficulty exists in Kansas
which prevents the growth Of that place, and in
asmuch as this difficulty grew out of the passage
of the Nebraska Bill, which declared that the
people should govern themselves, and inasmuch
as the people have made a Constitution, and ask
to be admitted, as State, Kansas should come
into the Union.
3. By the admission of Kansas as State, the
question of the further extension of Slavery
would be decided, and until this is done, con-
tinued agitation Of the subject will be the result,
to the injury of Kansas and to the injury of the
whole country, therefore let Kansas be admitted
Immediately.
These are only few reasons which we adduce
in favor of the immediate admission Of Kansas.
As regards Minnesota:
l. There is no danger Of our ever becoming q
Slave State unless there is great inAux of
just such border ruf6ans as ''Democrat," hence
there is no necessity for our rushing into the
Union for protection.
2. No civil wars disturb our prosperity. No
question of Slavery is to be settled by our act
one way or the other.
3. We are growing-we are prospcrous--we
are happy. We are we'll enough---therefore let
US alone. .st
4. Whether we do or do not remain q State,
will not affect the country at large as in the case
of Kansas.
Other reasons why we should not come in as
a State, we shall embody in future article, but
we have given enough to plainly show the differ.
ence between Kansas and Minnesota. If there is
anything ssrotten'' in this matter, it must bo on
the side of "Denocrat,' for if he doesn't pu-
trefy under his weight of sin and ignorance, it
will be mystery in nature. As to our sincerity,
veracty, and consistency, we leave them to the
people who have watched ourcareer for the last
three years, and when they begin to doubt our
honesty, we will withdraw in favor of the more
noble Roman..-even "Democrat'-but until then
he will allow US to suggest to him that the man
who is convicted Of ignorance in almost every
proposition he lays down, will quite likely make
an ass of himself in any further effort.

The Right Spirit.

The most gratifying news reaches US from all
parts OF the Territory. An earnest determination
on the part Of the people for q reform in the
political tone Of the next Legislature has been
made practically manifest in the result of all the
nominating Conventions yet held. Not only the
right men have been nominated, but the manner
in which they have been chosen presents undoubt.
ed evidence of harmony among the people. The
readiness with which local questions have Welded
to the all absorbing ONE Of the campaign clearly
shows the deep anxiety felt to be heard on this
great issue. The question Of Temperance. for
the present. has been laid aside by its friends,
that no barrier might be presented TO fair and
undivided expression Of all classes on the great
principle involved in the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise. Let this spirit still continue to
eharscteriss our deliberations, and no fears need
be entertained for the cause Of human rights.
