The Clarion Democrat, with much force
and appropriateness, remarks:
"a republican paper inquiries what will be
the position of the Democratic Party
twelve years hence? We can answer
that question confidently. 1t will occupy
the same position twelve years hence that
it did twelve years ago, and that it occu>
pies now. 1t has been, now is, and ever
will be the staunch defender of States
rights, the rights of the people and the in
tegrity of the constitution. Such is its po.
sition now, such it will be twelve years
hence, and as long as the country exists a
united and independent conrederacy"

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is q constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vtiatCd,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pcryadcs the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the yenercal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending from parents TO children
unto the third and fourth generation - indeed
II seems to be the rod Of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquites Of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcCrOus matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupton, which gcndcrs in the blood, depresscs
the energies Of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrotulous com
plaints but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; cnnse-
qucntly, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrotulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scr0iulJus contamination; and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people arc scrofulous; (;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health Is undermined by it.

the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
yigoratc it by healthy food and exercise.

A COMPLETE FIzzLE.-The attempt Of
the opposition to manufacture political
capital out of the difference in the views
of President Buchanan in his message and
Secretary Cobb in his report on the Tariff,
has proven acomple fzzle. Their success
last winter in tanning the fame of discord
in the Democratic party on the Kansas
question, nattcred them into the belief
that they could accomplish the same OBJ
iect on another question; but they have
fallen so flat in the attempt, that they
have given up in despair. Poor fellows
their prospects are becoming as gloomy as
ever.

DEAR SIR-An article
appeared in the editorial columns of the
RqtiSmaoS journal of tho lst instant, en-
dorcing an article on the outside of the
same paper, styled "a Gambling Hellw
thus giving the article double notoriety,
and consequently doing a double wrong
to the gentleman named.
"TuE SEYAToRw WoNTHATSlS0, ,OO0.-
Great curiosity is manifested to know the
name Of the distinguished Senator" who,
according to a recent statement of the
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Post won SlS0,00O at faro" in that city,
one night shortly before the close Of the
late session of Congress, an account of
which will be found on our outside. An
exchange, spys tho Cincinnati Times, dis
closes the fact that Hon. James A. Pierce
of Maryland, is the Senatorial blackleg re.
ferred to. lie is a Democrat"
The article is wholly untrue in two par
ticularf-lst Senator Pierce never won the
sum named, as he is a good man in the
broadest sense of the term-and second
he is no democrat-being an old line whig.
But shall proceed to give you the tes-
timony of the Hon. Thomas Corwin, in re-
lation to the matter, Hear him, you that
seek to dojustice and then comparenotes. !

article and thus satisfy a TRUE FRIEND.

ly favored by q friend, to refute the alb
surd story Of the $3.50, 900 won at a gamma
house in Washington, by L. 5. Senator
We have not alluded to it editorially, be-
cause we did not think that any man OF
common sense, or ordinary intelligence
would believe it. If however any have
been credulous enough to place any faith
in it, we think they will be convinced OF
its aosurdty.
