JUSTICE TO d. WASD.-The following is an
ample refutation of the implied charge made
in the recent card of Mrs. Wand, that her
husband purloined some articles of dry goods,
which be bestowed upon her:
"In statement to the public, made by Mrs
c. Wand, in the Star, of Saturday, December
18th, an insinuatiUn is thrown out, by which
1t would appear that d. Wand had possessed
himself OF some merchandise by dishonest
means. We deem but an act Of justice to
say that Mr.. Wand was IN our employ from
the formation OF our partnership to its disso-
luton, and during this entire time we found
him strictly honest and faithful, always at his
post doing duty, with the exception of two
months, when be was prevented by sickness
from attending to business, but for time which
we allowed him his full salary, as token of
the high esteem in which he was held by us.

We notice the following card in the Wy

spicy, and the writer was former rosi-

time how friend Walker swallows Judge

being advised that the Little Giant was

fit to persons suffering from nervous tre-

ovate the nervous system and brace the
muscles, as well as give tone to the stom-
ach. Their purgative action is unaccom-
panied by pain, and as they have power
full stomachc as well as aperient and pur-
flying properties, they literally carry on
the work of invgorating the digestion, re-
lieving the bowels and regulating the Sc
cre:ions at one and the same time. This
cannot be said Of any other medicine in

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
Poor Old Buck.

Never was poor President in such a
predicament as that in which Mr.. Bu-
chanan just now finds himself. His
scheme for thrusting the Kansas troubles
out Of the way has gone all wreng.--
Douglas boards him in the Senate and
forces him to the wall. His Kansas poll,
cy must be crowded through Congress,
unless possibly at the expense Of tho an
nihilation Of the party that raised him to
power His secret agents have failed to
cause the Lecompton constitution to be
prepared fer presentation withoat slavery,
and instead ofhaving effected the pacif-
cation of Kansas, he finds civil war
breaking out in the territory while to
put the climax upon the troubles in that
quarter, his new governor, Denver; en-
dorses the conduct Of Stanton, which
caused the decapitation Of that official and
made way for himself. And.you too, 0
Denver In fact. the President is about
to be crushed between the upper and
neither milestone in this Kansas business.
Turn to Utah, and we find our army sent
to that territory in a deplorable condition,
and evident y at the mercy Of Brigham
young. The government beef cattle and
animals of all kinds, have been stolen in
thousands by the Mormons, and have per-
ished by the way, marking the track Of
the army with heaps OF carrion. The
whole enormous expense Of this expedi-
ton. is thus worse than thrown away It
is impossible 10 avoid the coaclusion that
the government has in this matter blum
dered most stupidity and disastrousty.
And the case of Gen. Walker looms up
and becomes of frst-class Importance.
That individuals fllibuster expedition is
ousted out by Commodore Paulding.-
The "blue grey-eyed man." the latest
edition of the "child of destiny" is an u
S. prisoner, and the whole south is sue. .
denly inAamed with rage toward the ad
ministration, and Mr.. Buchanan must in
stantly account for his unprecedented i'm
pertiuence in meddling with manifest des-
tiny. Now, if the federal treasury was
crammed with many millions Of gold
seeking disposition, these things might
be patiently sustained. But the first
move ofthis ''hard money" administra-
iion, in the first Congress ASSEMBLED un-
der its auspices, is to procure authority
for the issue OF twenty millions of rags"
This is tie latest style OF mint drop
democracy. And more than all, the ap-
pointments of the President do not amount
to "fxod facts" He removed Mckeon,
of New York, but cannot contriyc to
have his successors nomination confirm
ed, and SO the obnoxious McKeon still
holds office. He has appointed Nathan
Clifford justice Of the Supreme Court of
the United States, but the Senate after
an exciting debate dropped indefinitely
the consideration of that gentleman's
case. Poor old Buck !
