MA The Democrat with its usual effr,

nlThe Democrat, with its usual effron-
terry, asks whether we dare deny that the
opposition formed the present tariff? Ger
tainly we deny it The present tariff, as
every body who has grain of memory
knows, was formed by men calling them
selves democrats, when Polk was swindled
into the Presidency as a better tariff man
than Henry Clay, and with the exception
of some alterations made by a combination
Of few northern manufacturers and
sundry southern free trade locofocos. by
which, with the connivance Of Bigler, &c,
Pennsylvania iron and coal were sacrificed
to please Buchanan's particular friends Sir
Gore Ou8ley and other British mobiles, re-
mains substantially the same as then cnae-
ted The original act was signed by Polk,
the repealing by Pierce-both of whom
we should judge the Democrat will soon
swear to have been wings, know nothings,
Or black republicans.

ga The Elixir prepared by Dr. James
Williams, for the cure of Dyspepsy, and
nothing but Dyspepsy, (as advertised in anoth-
er column,) has by its own merits obtained
for itself SO high a reputation in Philadelphia,
that physicians acquainted with its properties
are using it themselves and prescribing it to
their patients, convinced by observation of its
great efficacy in restoring the disordered di-
gestive organs to healthy function. Nu-
merous cases of dyspepsy of the most aggra-
waited character, which were abandoned as
incurable by some of the medical faculty.
have by the use of this Elixir been restored
to perfect health, as attested certificates testi-
fly. For sale by Charles Ritz, Lewistown.

OXyGenated Bitters.

Read the following letter from Caleb Par
ker, Esq, Of Concord, \. H., man honored
and esteemed by all who know him:
Gentlemen-With no disposition to make
my name conspicuous, take the opportunity
to state TO the afflicted the benefit / have de-
rived from the use Of DR.. Green's Oxygenated
Bitters, and to recommend them to others.
For two years | have been troubled with indi-
gestion and It's attendant evils such as fatu-
lency, constipation, severe attacks of diar-
rhoa, accompanied with water brash at the
stomach. which reduced me in flesh, strength
and spirits, so low that | was nearly unified
for business. | applied to several physicians
from whom | obtained only temporary relief
| concluded with the advice of friends, but
without the least faith in their efficacy, to try
the Oxygenated Bittors, from the use Of which
| found immediate relief, having no return of
water brash after taking the first portion.
My weight has increased some thirty five
pounds, and my health IS perfect can truly
say that | consider the Oxygenated Bitters
the best tonic extant have recommended
them to several, who have invariably found
great benefit from their use. Yours respect
fully, CALEB PARKER.

DISTRESSING Drought ln K5yinia-A
gentleman from Sussex county, Va, one of
the most reliable in the county, represents
to the Petersburg Express a rather alarm
ing state of things, as existing in that sec
ton. In some parts Of the county, espe-
cially near Conman's Well, they have been
without rain for weeks, and the effect upon
the corn is truly lamentable The same,
says the informant, is the case in the yicin-
ity of Cabinet Point, Surry. In many
places we regret to hear that the farmers,
despairing of gathering an amount of corn
that will repay for the trouble, have cut
down the stalks in the hope Of making
fodder. In other places, even though the
most drenching rains were now beginning
to fall, not more than half the usual guam
tity could be realized Garden vegetables
have also withercd beneath the rays Of the
sun, and never falling streams have ceased
to run, leaving their beds dry and parched.
In many ncighborhoods the wells are fast
failing, and many entertain serious appre-
tensions that man and beast will suffer for
water, unless speedily relieved

The President cordially reciprocates the
congratulations of her Majesty the Queen on
| the success Of the great international Enter
| prise accomplished by the science, skill and
indomitable energy Of the two countries. 1t
| is a triumph more glorious, because more
useful, than was ever won by the conqueror
Of the field Of battle. May the Atlantic Tel

an instrument destined by divine Providence
to ditfuse religion, civilization, liberty and
law throughout the world. In this view will
not all the nations Of Christendom spontane-
ously unite in the declaration that it shall be
forever neutral, and that its communications
shall be held sacred in the places Of their
destination in the midst Of hnstlities
JAS. BUCHANAN"
On the following morning the whole of
the Queens Message was received, which
is as follows:
The Queen desires to congratulate the
President upon the successful issue Of this
great international undertaking, in which the
| Queen has taken the deepest interest.
The Queen is convinced that the Presi-
| dent will join with her in fervently hoping
that the Electric Gable, which now connects
Great Britain with the United States, will
| prove an additional link between the nations
whose friendship is founded upon their COM
mon interest and reciprocal esteem.
The Queen has much pleasure in thus
communicating with the President, and re-
newing to him her wishes for the prosperity
| Of the United States"
The completion of this great work called
demonstrations Of rejoicing in all parts Of
the United States, and a general hope is
expressed that nothing will occur to inter
rupt the transmission Of messages.
