The weekly Portage sentinel. [volume] (Ravenna, Ohio) 1854-1861, 1857-08-13

OF There are plenty Of yocng gentlemen
as well as plenty Of old ones, whose boards
are turning gray, which gives the former a
great deal of uneasiness, and exposes the age
of the latter. To avoid these little perplcxi.
ties we advise such of our readers to Use
Prof. Woods Hair Restorative, which will,
in the course. of few weeks, change the
hair to its natural Color. 1t does not dye the
hair like the most of the hair restoratives,
but produces gradual change of color from
the roots of the hair to the fin end, and
gives it fine and glossy appearance. We
have seen many persons who have used it
successfully, and pronounced it the only in
vention which has come up to their idea OF
"cure for gray heads" We commenced US
ing it about two months since, and if we are
any judge of age and beauty, it has made US
at least ten years younger; in fact we are be-
ginning to look quite young, and feel very
much like getting young vile. The change
is miraculous, and it would be as difficult to
find gray hair now as it would be to find
an idea in the head Of the Duke Of Buck,
iDgham. We know several old maids and
some young widows, whose locks ore just
beginning to assume silvery hue, and who
have been talking seriously about resorting
to this remedy, and we advise them not to
delay any longer. 1t never fails .-N. Louis
Herald.

Kansas.

A we'll known and highly esteemed Penn.
sylvaDian, who has Just returned from the
Territories, writes the following to friend
in Philadelphia as TO the state of politics in
Kansas. The facts are interesting:-"I
could interest you in Konsas affairs, but the
limits Of this letter will not permit. Cover.
nor Walker will have matters his way, and
feel confident that his policy will lead to
happy termination of the difficulties in that
heretofore unhappy Territory. The Con-
veDtion, though composed of pro slavery
men, will submit the constitution to vote oil
the people. The constitution will be unex
ceptionable, and the question of slavery
will be submitted as separate proposition
so that the electof can vote for the consti
tution and against slavery. The whole
vote of the Territory is estimated at $4,000
OF these 5000 IRE pro-slavery Democrats
1000 are Free State Democrats, and 8 s,O0C
Republicans. e,251 votes are registered
and of these 1850 voted for delegates. 1t
is estimated that the vote on the constitu.
ton will reach $4,000. In Kansas the
question of slavery is regarded as settled
The issue now is, sha II Kansas be Demo.

meet one pro-slavery mar in the Territory

The Prospect BEFORE Us.

Never has the Democratic party occupied
q more ehviable and commanding position,
than at present. Never was there a better
p1aspaes brilliant and honorable victory.
Sbecfss S within oursseach and we have on.
" to put forth our hand and grasp it. We
have only to do our DUTY, and Ohio is ro-
deemed from the thrOldom Of miserable
cab ARhose aim is treason against the fed
eraI government, and whose spirit is ANNA
ted BY desire to plunder the treasury Of the
people. The cry of"bleeding KOnsas" can.
not avail to defend cor opponents from the
indignant scornaf en- outraged and sinjured
people. No attempt 70 direct public atten.
ton c,rag from home interests, to tn Iftfits
of distant territory will silence the inper-
alive demand for the reformation of aliases
here.
TIE platform OF the Democratic party can
not fail to merit the warm and earnest ap-
probation of the masses. It appeals to the
Judgment, the experience, and the patriotism
of our fellowciti.c6s, We have had enough
of modern publicanism-enough Of "re-
trenchment and REFORM" ut the hand of par.
ty of violated pledges. With a cheering
prospect to urge us TO vigorous action
with serious grievances to redress-with pure
and noble principles to fight for, shall any
.-nemocrat wavar in his faith or cpnse n ron.
slant struggle for triumph! No. Rather
let him grid on his urmor and go forth into
the conflict determined never to leave the
field until victory is proclaimed.

4. Resolved, That the great doctrine Of
popular sovereignty first proclaimed to the
world in the Declaration Of Independence,
reiterated by Mr.. Jefferson in his resolves
Of 17S4-endorsed by the Kansas Nebraska
Act, and re-affirmed in the Cincinnati plat
form, if fairly carried out, will rid the coun-
try alike Of Northern and Southern fanati.
cism, and fix in perpetuity the existence Of
our glorious Union.
8. Resolved, That while we look to no au.
thority butreason for our political opinions we
deem 1t proper to express deep qualification
at the concurrence of the Supreme Court OF
the United States, in the doctrines with re-
gard to the Constitutional Powers and Po.
Iitical Rights of the States and Territories,
which have been maintained by the Demo.
cratic Party and formally avowed by it in
three National Conventions.
6. Resolved, That the late defalcation in
the Treasury of the State imperiously de.
mands that the money Of the people, placed
therein, should be guarded with Jealous care,
and that, as the only. means Of so doing, we
re. assert and re.ep6orse the resolves Of the
Democratic State Convention of the Sth Of
January, 1854, pledging the next Democratic
Legislature to carry it into effect in the word
and in deed as follows: .,
"Resolved, That the Independent Treasury
established by the Democracy ofthe Union,
after continued struggle for years, has. in
its practical operation, vindicated and proven
all that was claimed for it by its warmest
advocates. And that the Democracy OF Ohio
are in favor of the enactment by the Legis-
lature ofa system, similar in his principles
for The safe keeping and distribution OF the
public funds of the State"
| z. RESOLVED, That we are in favor of an
economical administration of the State, and
the Federal Government; and that the public
policy demands, at this time, the most eff
cient and thorough measures of reform in
Ohio, in order to reduce the burdens OF taxa.
tion by restraining the operations of the gov.
ernment from projects of public expenditure,
not necessary or essential to its strict legti.
mate purpose, and also by imposing salutary
checks upon the abuse of the taxing power
in the hands of the local authorities.
s. Resolued, That VIM. II. Gibson ans
John G. Breslin, by their corrupt embezzle
ment of the public moneys, merit, and We
trust, will receive, the reward of their iniqu
ty, within the walls of the Ohio Penitentiary
A motion was made to take up the resolu
tions separate, which was carried. Each res
olution was unanimously adopted, except thu
9th, on which quite spirited debate tool
place, in which Hon. John A. Corwine, Hon
Charles Sweetser, II. S. Commager, R
Burns and others took part, and it was fnall.
adopted.
Convention adjourned.

Our Secretary Of State.

No nomination is received with more cor.
diality as deserving tribute to moral worth
and political fidelity tl that of Mr.. REIN
HARD, of Co!umbvs. col. ScHoULER, OF
the Ohio Stale Journal living in the same
town cannot forbear paying due compliments
to his merits as a man and a gentleman
The Col. says:
The nomination of Mr.. Reinhard of this
city, for Secretary of State, was made with
marked unanimity and was highly compi.
mentary to him. Mr.. Reinhard is the ed tor
of the German Locofoco paper in Columbus
which has done great service, we have nc
doubt, to the party. Our personal intercourse
with MIR. Re;nhard, since we have been lv
ing here, has been pleasant, and we regart
him as very competent gentleman fer thu

Suicide OfGeneral Rus!x.

GENERAL RUsE, United States Senator
from Texas, committed suicide q few days
since, by blowing his brains out with ari.
fe. The cause which led 10 this strange and
unfortunate circumstance is not definitely
known, but by some is attributed to the fact,
that forgeries on the Land or Pension office,
had been charged against some of his friends
in such manner that he imagined himself
indirectly implicated. This is mere rumor,
however. Gen. Rusk was man of marked
ability. He was one of the most digniRed,
eloquent and Influential members of the
Senate. His death will be deeply regretted
by his countrymen.

J.m 5 b. Clay elected TO Congress.

JANIS B. CLAY, son of the late Henry
Clay, is elected 10 Congress from the Ash
land District, Kentucky. This is highly
gratifying indeed. Mr.. Clay is one of the
old line wings, who, during the last Presi-
dental canvass, came out boldly for Mr..
Buchanan. Since then, he has been rendered
the mission to Berlin by the Presidentund de-.
clined; he rather preferred to remain at
home and become the standard bearer of the
Democracy in the old Ashland District
He has made most gallant fight and achiev-
ed most brilliant and honorable victory.

NIr. BucTlanan's Character.

One of the st. Louis excursionists wri.
ting from Washington city speaks thus OF
'Mr Buchanan;
Those entirely mistake his character who
imagine that he is timid, or vuscillating or in
firm of purpose. On the contrary, his main
Characteristic is an iron firmness of will
amounting almost to obstibacys Since. the
days. of Jackson we have had no such Pre-
sident. Not looking to o renewal of his

The State election in Kentucky has re.
suited in the triumph of the Democratic
ticket by large majority. 1t is thought
that eight cut of ten of the members OF
Congress chosen are Democrats. Marshall
and Underwood are the only Know Moth
ings chosen. Three cheers for the gallant

Mrs. Cunningham a asain lin Court,

This notorious woman, who, awhile ago,
was tried and acquitted, though probably
guilty, of the murder Of DR.. Burdell. has been
arrested for attempting to commit fraud, by
preterding to be the mother of an heir to the
Burdell estate. For a long time, rumors have
been a1oat that she was enciea,s and that
the child if born alive, would be the inher-
tor of the Doctors property. Recent de-
velopments have proven that this was all a
fraud. DR.. Uhl, who in the present instance
will be the prosecuting witness, and whom
she called upon to aid her in the matter, has
made information that Mrs. CuEningham's
sickness was all feignd-that the child OF
which she pretends to be the mother, is not
her child but was only 5orrossed from its real
mother by Mrs. Cunningham, for the pur-
pose Of aiding the deception. To what mis-.
cradle duplicity, will not this strange, bad
woman, next resort TO, to carry out her de-
signs.
