country, each and every one proved fatal.
During my affection fortunately heard Of
DR.. John CLARK, Of Berea, Cuyaboga eoun-

treatment and cure Of Cancer for more
than forty years, his well trained eye. and

%Two weeks ago, our neighbor. the
Citizen Democrat, made a patriotic appeal
to the people TO "interpose their omnipo.
tent fat to the destructive measures Of
the demagogues who now rule in the as
cendent." As sentinels on the watch.tower,
We modestly inquired, what was in the wind
what was wrong-what were "the dem
agogues WHO now rule in the ascendent"
doing, or about to do, that put our neigh
Dor all at once on the qui vive, and melted
him to appeal so stirringly to the people.
We wished to ascertain tho subject Of fear
for two reasons. First, that as public jour-
nalsts, we might furnish it rs a matter of
news to our readers. Second, that If any
new danger menaced our people or coun-
try, we might likewise appeal to the people
ito interpose their omDipotent fiat" We
were serious in our inquiries, and paused
for reply. But the reply never came -
And now here we stand yet, anxious as
ever to know, whether our neighbor was
only becoming frightened at the enormity
of the Lecompton Constitution, and the
means employed by our Democratic Con.
press, and Democratic President-'the
demagogues who now rule in the ascend
ant"--to force thai instrument upon the
people of Kansas; or whether some newer
outrage was maturing in the dark, Of which
our neiGhbOr had knowledge and which
wan soon to burst upon the country. We
desire to have light. We ought to have
it. Will the Citizen not. therefore, make
clean breast Of it, and relieve US at once
We shall at all events lay on our oars for
another week.

Official Corruption.

The leaders of the Buchanan wing Of
the Democratic party, are just now making
a great adieu, and severely lSshing an old
man--a Republican member of Congress
named Matteson--on charges ofcOnuplion
and bribery that are made against him.
This is right so far ss an Investigation into
the charges themselves is concerned. It
should be the wish of every Republican,
that their organization be kept pure; aud
il Mr. Matteson has done wrong in his Off
cia capacity, or il he has yielded to corrupt
overtures let him suffer for it, aud that
keenly. But why do Democratic members
Of Congress flare np so exqavSgauLy, and
demand investigations so quickly, into char
ges OF this kind against Republicans, when
at the same time they vote against invesLi>
cations, and desire to cover up charges of
this character when they are preferred
against Democrats. I A short time since the
books Of mercantile house in Boston fell
into the hands Of other parties, and it was
discovered from an entry in one of them.
that $s7, 900 had been paid to secure the
passage Of an act through Congress. That
body felt itself insulted. 1t ordered an in.
vestgation. bat as soon as it was discover
ed that portion of the money had gone
into Democratic pockets, the whole matter
was smothersd, for fear, we suspect, that it
would he aScertained. that the balance bad
also found place in the same political
household. Since then, a motion was again
made in Congress to appoint committee
to inquire into the charges made by The
correspondent Of the New York Tribune,
that Mr. Burns, the member Of Congress
from the adjoining District, had been iu
duced to vote with The Lecomptonites on
the promise from the Administration, that
bis on,in-law should be appointed Post
master at Keokuk. Also that Mr. Burn:
should be appointed Marshal Of the Nor
thern District of Ohio. This motion WA
tabled by the decisive vote Of yeas lOs
nays 88. No investigation could be had
No inquiry into the subject allowed. Nj
