DIR. MLANE's LIVER PILLS,
FLEMINGBRos. PRoPRIEToRs.


re1. This great medicine has supplant-
ed all others for the cure of diset ses of the
Liver. It's effects are SO salutary and spec
dy, and at the same time so perfectly safe,
that it is not surprising it should super
sede all others. Invented by very dis
tinguished physician of Virginia, who
practiced in region of country in which
Hepatis, or Liver Complaint, is peculiarly
formidable and common, and who had
spent years in discovering the ingredients
and proportioning their quantities, these
Pills are peculiarly adapted to every form
of the disease, and never fail to alleviate
the most obstinate cases of that terrible
complaint. They have justly become eel
ebrated, and the researches of DR.. NJ Lane
have placed his name among the benefac-
tors of mankind. No one having sym?-
IONS of this formidable complaint should
be without these Invaluable Pills. Have

pressure-unable to lie with ease on the
left side--with occasional sometimes con-
slant, pain under the shoulder blade, fire.

UNTIMELY DEATH-With feelings of
deep sorrow, we record the sudden death
of Mr.. John First, of Russelville, and on
last Monday the American Representative
elect of Logan county. We learn
that on Friday last he was taken with the
cholic, for the relief Of which he took what
he supposed to be camphor. Unfortunate
ly the bottle contained corrosive sublimate,
from the effects of which he died in short
time. The congratulations of friends on his
political success had not ceased to echo in
his ears when the summons came to call him
away forever from the contests and triumphs
Of earth. "Thus passes away the glory Of
the world."-Hop. Mercury.

We fnd the following in the St. Louis
Democrat:
We stated on yesterday that, unless
fraud were perpetrated, the election of
Mai Rollins was a fixed fact. We reiter-
ate the same to-day but we regret to add
that we are convinced that frauds are be-
ing perpetrated. Our advices from the
! City of Jefferson are to the effect that al
ready the game of amended returns has
been begun. Thus the county of Polk
has been certified to the Secretary ofState
as one majority for Stewart and so recorded;
, but now Col. Acock sends us an amended
return giving Stewart TWO HUNDRED AND
THIRTY ONE majority. We are further
advised that the nullifers in their despera-
ton have sent out runners to meet the
messengers bearing the returns of the re-
naming counties, with instructions to al
ter the figures to suit the necessities of the
case. This fact would seem to have al
ready transpired in regard to Adair and
Mories, which show figures that cannot be
accounted for on any Underground IF the
fraud has been thus begun, where shall il

sa- The last Knoxville Register d Wing
says that Maynard is certainly elected, by
some two hundred majority. We incline
TO the opinion that two or three other
Americans might have been elected, had
the party done its duty. If apathy is to
loose us all the benefits Of numbers and
sound principles, we had better withdraw
from the contest altogether. Democracy
will kill itself, if let alone, and much sooner
than it can be exterminated by the half
way fight made against it. Opposition
bands the locofocos together, and calls
into active play all the meannoss that is
in them; and in addition to their success
the country is cursed with the means by
which il is won. Then if the Americans
arc so Indifferent to the success Of their
principles, and the consequent prosperity
Of the government, they had better dis
band, and let locofocoism fall to peices, in
its rottcnness. A halfway effort does
more harm than good-it ensures the
triumph of wrong, and brings discrcdi
upon right.

perpetrated, and have been, and are still
a leading cause Of locofoco success. The
late contested election in Philadelphia
brought to light mass Of corruption suf
ficient to damn any party, save the loco
foco, which makes merit Of fraud, ant

How THE DEMoCRAcRATIC PARTY CAR
RIED THE ASHLAND DIsTRIcT.--At the
list Presidential election Fillmore carried
the Ashland district by an official major
ity of 708. One precinct in Nicholas,
which give Buchanan a majority of about
so, was excluded from the count, on ac-
count of informality in its returns, which
made Fillmore's actual majority about $50.
How this majority was overcome is
question that has been often asked, but
not yet satisfactorily answered. We ans
wer and say that it was done by the ma
turalization of two hundred foreigners
by the importation of at least 400 illegal
voters into the district from adjoining
counties where there were no political con-
tests, and by the corrupt use of at least
$4,000. The records Of the courts Of
this county and those adjoining will sus-
tain us in the assertion that 200 foreigners
were naturalized shortly previous to the
election; and, in order to sustain the
charge of importation, let us take the
county of Nicholas. as an example. This
county, in the Presidential election, when
the largest vote was given in Kentucky
that she has ever polled, cast 1875 votes
Fillmore receiving 666, and Buchanan
receiving TAI.
At the recent election Nicholas voted
1, sos votes, Hanson receiving al, which
is 10 more than Fillmore's vote, Clay re-
ceiying 934, which is 215 more than Buch-
anan received. Thus it will be seen that
the vote of Nicholas is increased 300 votes,
and this increase is found almost entirely
in two precincts--one called Buzzard Roost,
the other Mitchell's Mills, one bordering
upon Bracken county, the other upon the
county of Fleming.
If this increased vote was caused by the
mere natural increase of voters, or by
bringing out the full vote, or by emigra-
ton to the county of actual settlers, II
would not have been found exclusively in
two precincts, but would have been dis,
tributed all over the county, This suspi
cious state Of case is found all over the
district, establishing the fact, either that
votes have been imported into the district
adjoining other counties where there have
been no political contests, or that in thes,
peculiar localities human propagation anC
actual emigration have been going on at 1
rate yer before witnessed in this or any
other ecu ty, and that too in sections less
favored than any other in the district
As to the use of money in immense guam
titles, the fact is known to every observer
1t is known that in this city from $50 I,
800 were offered for votes, and II is conf
IDENTIFY believed that at least $50, 900 wer,
used.--DeT. Observer. q
