PRoF. o. J. WooD-Dear Sir: have heard
much said of the wonderful effects of your Hair
Restorative, but having been so often cheated
by quackery and quack nostrums. liair dyes,
&c, was disposed TO- place your Restorative
III the same category W it'll the thousand and
one loudly trumpeted quack remedies, until I
met you Ill Lawrence county some months since
when you gave me such assurance as induced
the trial of your Restorative in my family
first by my good wife, whose hair had become
very thin and entirely white, and before ex
hausting one of your large bottles, her hair was
restored nearly to its original beautiful brown
color. and had thickcned and had beautiful and
glossy upon, and entirely over the head she
continues to use it, not simply because. of its
beautifying effects upon the hair, but because
Of its healthful influence upon the head and
mind. Others Of my family and friends are
usng your Restorative, with the happiest Of:
fects.; therefore, my skeptcism and doubts in
reference to its character and value on tire.
~ removed and can and do most cordially
and confdentially recommend its use by all
who would have their hair restored from white
or gray (by reason Of sickness or age,) to orig

glossy Very truly aud gratefully yours.

THE MUD-sILL SPEECH.

Below is q portion of the famous s'mud- sill''
speech of Senator Hammond, OF South Caro-
lima. Hammond's object is to degrade north
with the negro slave labor of the south, and
every Lecompton Trade Congressman
that may be elected will act with Hammond in
all matters of national policy:
sin all social systems, there must be class
TO do the dnties, TO perform the drudgcry of
He-that is. class requiring but low order
of intellect. and but little skill. Its requisites
are vigor, docility, fidelity. Such class you
must have, or you would not have that other
class which leads to progress, refinement and
civilization. IL constitutes the Uery MUD
SILLS Of society and Of political government ];
and you might lreH attempt 10 build house
tn the air. as TO kild either the one or the other,
except on the WUD-SILLS. Fortunately for
the South, she found a race adapted to that
purpose to her hand. We use them for the
purpose, and call them sl0rcs.
The man who lives by daily labor, and who
has to put out his labor in the market and take
the best he get for it, in short. pour 1choie
class of manual Iaborers and Operatives at the
North are SLAVES. The difference between
US is that slaUes hired for life, and well
compensated while vour slares are hired by
the day, not cared for, and scantily compen-
sated- Our siares are black, of anoth-
er and inferior race. Yo1tr slares are
trhife, OF your own race; you are brothers OF
one blood.''
What workingnIan can read this insulting
language and not feel his blood boil in his
veins? And how can any man thus stigmati-
zed by one of the democratic leaders, vote
with party Of which he is one of the expo
nents2

LOOK OUT FOR LIES!

The chances of James L. GiIlis must be
poor, indeed, when his friends have to re-
sort to such desperate expedients as are
now used in this county. We hear that
they are endeavoring to injure Mr.. Hall by
circulating a report that he was in some way
connected with the M'Kean County Bank
This is a liza base, contemplate. wilful lie
and we would not be surprised to hear of
other charges equally unfounded, being made
between now and the election. As some of
the friends of Mr.. Gillis seem to be so well
posted in regard to Banking matters, perhaps
they can explain certain operation of his with
