People's Mass Convention.

The undersigned, citizens of Belmont
county, believing that the leading measures,
general policy, anc corrupt practice of the
Administration of the Federal Government,
and the party by which it is sustained, are
hostile to the true interests of the country,
invite all those citizens OF Belmont county
who agree with US TO meet at BELMONT,
ON TUESDAY, THE BIRD DAY OF
AUGUST, 1858, for the purpose of putting
in nomination candidates for the county Of
fees required to be filled this fall.
Above we present copy OF call for a
Peoples Mass Convention. II is being
circulated and extensively signed through.

pie, -Ssllipg for concert of action against
the sham, Democracy. 1t comes not from
American nor yet from Repub lican, but
without respect to party, f-om all those who
to-day realize that the policy of the slave de-
mocracy lie an:agonistic to the true interests
ofthecountry. II ever there was a time when
this course was demanded impcritively of US

Now when the wealth of our nation is be-.

who seek only their own emoluments.-
Now when an extravagent Administration
has saddled upon US an extra debt of $780,.
600 900. Now, when the interests OF party
instead of the mass is the guiding motive
Of the Administration. Now, when our
chief executive, with cringing serviity TO
the enemes Of freedom, becomes a willing
subject in the hands OF Southern ultraists.
Now, when the produce of home, the best
interests of the masses, the will of the ma
jority are alike uncared for, it is indeed time
for concert OF action. This is no time TO
be idle. This is no time 90 quibble about
tecnecalities, and party preferment. 1t is
no time to- fold our arms in careless indif-
ference while the perpetuaty of our blessed
institutions is threatened. But it is time
when every man who has the interests of
his country ut heart, should lay aside all
prejudice and unite in cause of universa lly
vital importance. Shall we qaarrel among
ourselves when party equally hostile to
either is trampling Us under her feet, and
laughing us to scorn. Verify it would be the
essense of foolishness 80 think of such a
course. The Democracy qrail before the

THE BERLIN FREE-LovERs.-The Cleve-
land Herald states that the Free-Love
people of Berlin, Ohio, who were supposed
to have been 'squelched' by the late hostile
demonstrations of an indignant populace,
are up again, fierce, loose and rampant
The Herald says:
.The honest truth is, this community
which, instead of having a multitude of
names, should be nameless, numbers from
thirty to fifty in the township OF Berlin
They ure constantly erecting buildings
FIVE or six having been put up within few
weeks-and the occupants are becoming
more and more bold. On three several
occasions of late, men and women, from
among them, have been seen in bathing to-
gether-naked. On Sunday within fou-
weeks ast, two men and two women were
so bathing, and third woman sitting on
the bank, contemplating the scene. We
suppose part would call themselves Social
lists, and part Free-Lovers-a very nice dis
tinction. The Age of Freedom, which prom
ised to remove beyond rhe borders Of Ber-
lin, has returned to the village, and en-
sconced itself in the very midst of that
community"

@Yesterday morning, little child in
this city commenced crying withou: any
apparent cause, and kept it up til! late in
the evening, when its cries were succeeded
by screams. The parents ofthe child looked
into it's mouth, and discovered, near its
throat, needle sticking into its tongue, in
such position that it was evident that it
had come from the stomach. The mother
then remembered that, day or two be-
fore, she bad given her work-basket, con-
tanning needle. book, to the child, to play
with. An examination revealed the fact
that the needles were gone. An emetic
was given the child, and it has vomited
several needles from it's stomach, which
may or may not be all. At any rate. the
child is better to-day. This incident should
serve as a caution 80 mothers to keep such
things out of the reach Of their children

HolloDay's Pills as Remedy for Dyspep.
sid.-No one who has seen the effect of
Holloway's Pills in cases of dyspepsia, can
believe for moment that this depressing
and dangerous disease is incurable. The
patient who has suffered from it for years,
whose strength, appetite, and cheerfulness,
seem utterly gone: to whom life is bur-
den, and who has long ceased to hope for
relief, may be radically cured by course
OF this powerful stomachic and mild
aperlent. Hundreds of instances of this
kind are on record.

Vermont Republican Convention

vermont hepuDucan 2COnVentlOu.
The resolutions unanimously adopted at
at the recent Vermont Republican Conven-
tion are as follows:
RESOLVED, That as branch of the great
Republican party of the nation, we renew
edy avow our adherence and fidelity to the
platform and principles adopted at the
National Convention at Philadelphia, OF
the 18th of June, 1856.
Resolved. That as representatives of the
Republican party Of Vermont, we glory in
the record which our State holds up to tie
world upon those questions which concern
the natural rights and liberties of man
that she has never for moment, by con-
stitution or laws, sanctioned the guilty fam
tasy that there can be property in man.
that the claim of superiority by birth, pre-
scriptien, or law, finds no warrant in her
annals; but that the great truths of the
Declaration o. independence, sneered at
by some and impiously derided by others,
have been to our people solemn and living
reality.
Resolved, That it is the crying scandal of
the age, that the National Government in
all its appointments, legislative, judic ial
and executive, has been usurped and is con-
trolled by an oligarchy combined to exalt
Slavery at the expense of Freedom; mani
Testing of late It's injustice and desperation
in the fraudulent breach of time e-honored
compromises; in its forcing by armed inva-
sion end fraud upon an unwilling people the
curse of Slavery and a Government which
they abhor; its scheme of fillibustering and
the plumber of weaker nations to open new
fields for human bondage, and in that crow
ming shame upon law, religion and history
crimsoning the records of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the Dred
Scott decision.
Resolved, That the denial of the National
Government of the citizenship of men oi
color-citizens Of the several States, in
prohibiting them from entering as cItize ms
upon the public domain-in refusing pass.
ports to such persons travelling abroad
while recognized as of the State, citizens a,
home, and in refusing customs registers to
vessels owned by such citizens-is sac
departure from the principles of our fathers
and by its unconsttutionality adds the
meanness of gratuitous oppression.
r Resolved, That we are required by the
claims of humanity end citizenship in de-
fense Of human nature outraged, of the in.
terests of free labor stricken down, of the
free institutions bequeathed to us by ou
fathers, and in defense of our liberty, to re-
sist them and like aggressions at all time.
and at all hazards.
Resolued, That we accept as the mission
OF the Republican party the restoration o
the Government in law and administration
to its consistent purity, and to restore it Il
liberty; lost nationality to vindicate fo
free labor, for free men, Tor man as mai
their God-given rights.

Hail, glorious day, beneath whose azure sky,
A giant nation from the womb of Time
First sprung tc life, and Liberty on high,
To an admiring world by right divine
Claimed the new born as hers while TYRANNY
Covered beneath that sun's resplendent rays,
Which blazed propitious on land SO free
As men and angels mingled hymns Of praise.
All hail, Columbia o'er tho rolling wave
Thy stars and stripes in many fearful fight
Have foated proudly, while thy sons so brave,
With dsunt,ess hearts, and stern, rosistless
might,
Nobly have battled for thy rights end fame,
Winning from despots of the olden world
Fear and respec: long may thy name
Beam with bright hope, thy flag be aye un-
iurled.
But not in saa1uicary wars red path,
No, rather IN the cause Of peace and Joy
Not groars Of anguish, but the merry laugh,
Should welcome to our land the blue-eyed boy
The God of Love, and Cornacopia's horn
Be emptied on thy hills and Wales so free.
Thus may thy children greet the natal morn,
OF fair Columbia and Of Liberty.
Ruddy checked health, with blessed, joyous
Of happy sa4ooies. still shall bless the land;
From Roback' Swedish herbs flies direful pain
Dyspepsia's bsf1ed, and the trembling hand
OF the poor nervous wretos no longer shakes;
From his famed Scandinavian Remedies
Fever and ngue quail, while health awakes,
Aud dire disease, with all its horrors, flies.
Corrupted blood, pure as the limpid stream,
Soon meath their magic inflaence courses free;
The dull Dyspectc's eve with heathful gleam
Sparkles, and rings the laugh in jollity.
Neuralgia, too. in all its horrid guise,
Is cured rs certain ms that day succeeds
To darksome night /; and thus rs surely fec
All lung complaints before his remedy.
Yet one more agent in the glorious strife
OF battling Death, is called up at his will
Another new and Joyous lease Of life
Is brought by his Blood Purifier and Pill
To all who have acquired the horrd taint,
Acute or chronic, as il chanced to bo
Of diseased liver. Quickly the complaint
Shall fly, and cave that organ whole and free.
Thus having TO my patrons now proclaimed
The health inspiring virtues which possess
Those medicines throughout the land, 40 famed
As having thousands upon thousands blessed,
