A FIXED FAoT.-Dr. CAvANAUGH's
Pile Salve has now been long enough be-
fore the public to have its merits fairly
tested; and from every onewho has given it
a trial, we hear of but one expression, that
it is indeed Gare Every one who has
used it, experienced almost immediate re-
lief and speedy cure, a result, in many
cases, long and diligently sought, but in
vain.
In a conversation with the Doctor few
days since in regard to his "Pile Salve,"
he made this remark: "My Pile Salve, sir,
is eure---not palliative. For twelve
years, it never failed in my hands, in cur
ing erery casGand l ask no reputation for
it, beyond its intrinsic merits. What
sag it will do, it 'oiH do"

Last year, j. NJ. Quarles was a candid

American paper, in the District, impugned
his motives as a politician, or his feelings

Presu cling the editor of The Chronicle not to be
totally ignorant of the printing business and the
publication OF a weekly paper the statement con-
tained in the above quoted paragraph is shame
less effort to make point upon us by practcing
fraud upon his readers. He would have them
believe that both sides of weekly paper are pin
ted upon the same day, when he must know the
fact to be that not less than three days inter-
vene between the printing Of the outside and in
side pages. The article referred to was printed on
the outside of paper and was struck off before
the speaking, and even If it had all been wrong il
could not then have been omitted JefersOnidn.
All! Is it true "that not less than three
days eoer intervene between the printing Of
the outside and inside pages?" Now we
ask the Jc0ersonian to say, upon honor
whether the outside of his paper was not
printed on Tuesday, the day after the
speaking? We want plain answer, yes
or no! Then the outside having been
printed the day after the speaking-as We
can prove-with what propriety can he af
firm that the outside of his paper was
struck off before the speaking, and thai
therefore his cute little trick ''could mo-
then have been omitted?"

POTATO BUG.

Valuable Discovery-Mr. Thomas FL.
Woods, of this county, informs us that the
potato bug having made it's appearance
among his potatoes, he tried several RENE
dies, but Of no avail. At last he made a
strong soap-suds, by mix ing about one and
a half pounds of soap to few gallons Of
water, and a quantity of SCOT. The whole
being mixed into a wash, he poured it on
to the plauts SO as to cause it to run down
the stems. The result was, that the bugs
were killed instantly, while those that seam
pered off did not return. This is certainly
cheap, valuable and efficient remedy, and

from the effects of the severe laborsin which,
for the past two months, they have been
engaged, to prosecute the canvass further,
have mutually agreed to withdraw the bal
ance OF their appointments. They both
regret the necessity of this step, but the
condition of each is such that they cannot
without the risk of their health, and per-
haps of their lives, longer continue the
canvass They would have been glad te
have met their fellow citizens at their re.

appoint those who may be in attendance
but the necessity impelling them. to this
course is such that they cannot in justice
to themselves disregard it. They both
concluded their last speeches to-day before

B6~ The Union cE american tells his
subjects to vote the clean ticket. If they
follow the advice, there will be a clean
sweep of his party, in this election-Harris
will not get a vote. Some Of the Ameri-
can papers have inferred from the advice,
that the locofocos have two tiekRts in the
feld~tthe one clean and the other dirty
but this is not so. Things are clean, or
dirty, according to the tastes of those who
handle them. The organ, at Nashville,

He has referred to it again, and with the
sole view of showing towhat misrepresen-

there are conditions under which, the

MEETING OF THE
GERMANS IN LOUISVILLE, JULY


GERMANS IN LOUISVILLE, JULY
16, 1857.
In consequence of call in the Lonis-
vile Anzeigea, of the 18th and 18th in
stants, caused by the abuse of the Ger
mans by the Democratic candidate for Com
gress, TIL. II. Holt. there met number
of Germans, who were called to order by
A. Cossiol, and alectedS s. Schmidt for pres
ident and A. Cossiol for secretary.
The president addressed the assembly
and explained the purpose of the meeting.
Thereupon a committee of five was APP
pointed to draw up resolutions, and to lay
them before the meeting. The committee
produced the following resolutions:
We the present Germans express here
by our indignation about the abuse of Mr..
Holt, and resolve:
1. Since Mr.. Holt finds pleasure to style
us beasts and brutes, we consider him en-
tirely unable to criticize the German adop-
ted citizens.
2. We do not consider Mr.. Holt quail
fed to represent the Seventh district of
Kentucky in Congress, because he is in
want of true republican education, since
man who strives for such an Office never
can call his constituents beasts and brutes
3. That no honest German can or will
vote for man who abuses the whole Ger
man nation without tramping his own ma
ton under his feet.
A. We protest against the assertion that
25, 900 Irishmen fought for the liberty Of
the United States, as the whole army under
the command of Gen. Washington, which
was composed of Americans, Germans, and
other nations, counted only about $4,000
men.
Several other remarks followed, and
finally it was
ResoIced, To return 'odr thanks to The
Louisville Anzeiger for the translation
and publication of Mr.. Hollis speech, and
to publish these resolutions in all the city
papers.

TIE DIFrERENcE.-Andy johnson climb
ed from the tailor's board to the Executive
chair, Of this State, by boasting Of his low
beginning base insult to every mechanic
land appealing to the. sympathies and
prejudices of the p-e-e-ple. Col. Stark
was blacksmith, and by dint of integrity
and perseverance, has worked his way into
the State Senate. Do you hear him boast
of his low beginning, and appealing to
the sympathies and prejudices of the peo-
pie? No. And why? Because he feels
and knows that an honest mechanic is the
equal Of any other honest man, whether
he be merchant, lawyer, doctor, or Prince,
and is too just and proud-spirited to say
to the laboring man, or mechanic--"look
at mel was once as humble as your
Such an insult never falls from his lips,
and he scorns to assume that lie is better
man now, than when he stood over the
anvil, or thathe better deserves the support
of the mechanic, because his earlier fortune
assigned him mechanics calling, He
asks the mechanics to support him, if they
think he is right; and not because he, too,
was mchanic-his appeals are not to
their sympathies, as a class, but as sensible
American citizens, proud of their country,
and conscious of their equality with any
and every honest man, and superior-in-
fnitely superior to the demagoguc, how
ever talented, who stoops to deceit to win
their votes.
Contrast Col. Stark with his competitor
Which of them has most to say about the
dear people? Which trie ! to prejudice the
poor against the rich--which gar-coats
quack political pills to be swallowed for
benefit of the quack instead Of the patient
Col Stark plays no such game; but his
competitor almost goes into fits, in the
agony of his sympathy for the wrongs Of
the poor man. He distorts his counter.
ance, attitudinizes like disjointed wind
mill in gale, and almost bursts his bel
lows to show deeply he feels for the dear
people, whom he seeks to represent. And
what does he propose to do for them, as q
legislator? To keep the poor, poor, by
giving the property, rightfully belonging
to Tennessee, to enrich abolition States ant
abolition spectators; to keep Tennesean'
groaning under burdensome taxation, tina
the people of northern States may pay nc
tax; to place the alien pauper and convic
upon an equality with the native citizen
in the territories of this republic; to ex
clude the Tennessean and his propert,
from the common soil of all the States, b,
means of alien suffrage and squatter sovre
ignty. Col Stark opposes all these odiou

between him, who was blacksmith, an,

on the justice of his cause, and the integri
ty of the people; the other-but, smut

Bay Andy johnson, in a late speech,
says 'Christ is foreigner" The decision
of that question we leave to those protes-
tant preachers, who so zealously support
the foreign catholic church. Perhaps they

any man, protesting to be a christian, can
act with one who makes locofocoism and

Christ foreigner, is incomprehensible.
