Good Story About Giddings.

A good story is told of the Hon. Joshua
R. Giddings. Present at the Republican
State Nominating Convention, 1T Columbus,
Ohio, on the 18th, the correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says:
ale was sitting in the Neil House sur
rounded by a coterie of friends. A book
pedler who had been busy perambula.ing
the corridors importuning gentlemen to pur-
chase valuable pub ications,' wormed his
way into the circle, approaching Mr.. g.,
handed him a small linen-cuvered book
which he recommended as 'one o the most
thrilling works on slavery, extant-price,
only one dollor." The venerable Joshua
glanced at him enquiringly, evidently sus-
pectiDg ''sell," but perceiving the sim
ceriiy ofthe chap, be maintained his COM
posure, and opening the volume and read,
"The Exiles of Florida-ahem!'' "Tes,
SIR inicrposed the pedlar, quickly. ga first
rate work, written by the celebrated Joshua
R. GiddiDgs, he grea, Apostle of Ant-Sla-
very. It's immensely popular, sir, only one
dollar" By this time the crowd discover
ed the joke and burst into hearty laugh.
The pedlar looked foolish and confused and
made sudden snatch at his books as if he
had suddenly discovered something, and
was about to subside, when the ven-
erable gentleman, with that kindness for
which ne is distinguished, requested him to
stop minute, and TAX ing "on!y one dollar
from his pocket, paid for the volume. The
pedlar hasn't been seen SINCE"

Hollo,pays P,As.-The stomach, by the
chemical agency cf its excellent fluids, con-
ycrts the food INFO pride blood; the liver
furnishes a secretion which fits il for the
venous system; the lungs vita ize it. II
the stomach is diseased, it cannot produce
healthful clement, and if the fountain OF
life is infected, all the streams that flow
from il must be poisoned. 1t is upon the
stomach, the great feeder of the system,
the manufacturer OF the nliment which sub
sequently becomes bone. muscle, slncw, and
flesh, that llolloway's Pills exercise their
salutary influence, curing indigestion in all

ENever have the Democracy of this
State been in a more disorganized state
than at the present time. Never have they
seen in a position so unienable. But, if we
were to listen TO their presses, we mus t be-.
lieve they are the most powerful and well
disciplined party in existence. We find in
the Ohio Repository the account of Dem
ocratic county convention, recently held in
Canton, which did not endorse the present
Democratic cAdministrationvery emphatical-
ly. Hear them - -s-.
McGregor wanted TO indorse Bucks Ad-
ministration, and Lahm opposed it. Mac
then moved an adjournment, which was car
RED Vhes hurrah for the Administra-
ton was proposed, and few responded
then a hurrah for Dougss was proposed
end it was responded 10 by a host. Mac,
we hear, claims these results as Buck VIC
tory. Let him enjoy such victories.
Again, we find the Hockin, Ssntisa wa
ging war upon the Athens Democracy, and
Democratic Committees In general, for
their course in making Congressional NOM
inat;ons.
Here is more evidence OF discord. The
Wooster Republican says:
The Holmes counsy Farmer and Asa G.
Dimmock OF the Coshocton Democrat, are
having a most bitter personal conflict
They are abusing each other without stint
or mercy. Each party proves the other to
be nothing but or abolitionist, while the
Farmer stirs up the Penitentiary,. to the
edifcation of Asa q. Dimmock. We take
a special interest in the contest, but have
some fears that il will have damaging ef-
feet upon the prospects Of Gen. Burns.

OPINIONS ON SLAvERY.-The N. O.
Crescent is expressing its alarm that Mis-.
souri, will become Free State, and thus
diminish the number of States holding
Slaves. The Missouri Democrat, per contra
is rel Oicing over the prospect. The Savan.

Professor in the Law School at Lebanon
Tennessee, although native of Virgin ia
and life long STAKEHOLDER, as was his faith.
er before him, is ''a dangerous as well a.
untrue citizen in the South" The reason
Cfsen for this fierce denunciation is, thai
shs- venerable Professor entertains "tht
damnable sentiment shat Slavery is an evil
morally, socially and politically" In sci
defense, Professor Green suggests that he
considers the "evil' greater to the master
than to the slave; that he does not regard
the relation of master and slave as being
wrong; and that unit within the last TWEEN.
ty-fve years his opinions, now so obnoxious
were those of all leading Southern men,
But this avails him nothing. The Nelns
admits that Jefferson. Madison, and Others
like him, concurred in Professor Green 5
views, but if they had lived till the present
time tn ey would bave known better Ac-
cordingly. Professor Green is s;gmatized
as DANCE rous man, and the Law School a,
Lebanon is urged to DISMISS him.

DR.. Roback' Theory and Practice

III. ''it i"SNiNt
1t would seem that DIR. Roback's "Scan-
dinavian Remedies" have taken the highest
rank among the standard medicines of the
day. His theory is, that in whatever organ
disease may show itself, its roots are in the
blood. Hence bis famous Swedish cnratives
the Blood Purifier and the Blood Pills are
designed to act upon the senguineous fluid.
One thing cannot be disputed, they produce
most salutary effects even in apparently
hone css cases. Individuals who have sui-
tered for years from dyspepsia, scrofuln,
cruptions of the skin, bronchitis, asthma,
general prostration, liver complaint, rheu-
matism, neuralgia, and many other distress
ing maIadies, report themselves, over their
own signatures, as radically cured by a
course of these Remedies. The claims of
DR.. Roback's advertisements are therefore
supported by competent proof.-&e Adj

The news Of the murder Of Roieriego
spread with rapidity throughout the city.
The Metropolitans were on the alert, and
by the orders OF Coroner Conefy, the Count
was arrested, and the muiilated tooth picl.
was found upon bis person.
Isabella was summoned as witness.
but alas could give no evidence, he had
become an IDIOT! The Count endeayored
to prove that the blood upon the tooth picl;
was not arteriai, but be was found guilty
and sentenced TO be hanged.
But bark what cry is that breaks on
the startled ear? "'Ere's the Express, Sd
'dition-got the recovery of Roderiego -
The news was true! Roderiego was
not mortally wounded, and with the aid Of
the "re,ired physician whose sands Of life
have nearly run out" recovered his usual
health.
But little remains for US to relate. The
Count D'Nincompoop was released by the
intercession Of Rodereigo, and left the
United States to spend the balance of bis
miserable life in New Jersey. In Et OF
diabolical passion at hearing Of the mar-
riage Of Roderigo D'Polliwog, to the Lady
Isabella D'Fitzsimpkins, he dashed his
brains out with a bar Of soap.
Roderiego and Isabella, who, after the
murder, had procured divorce from the
Count, lived happily together, aud many
little Polliwogs squirmed around their
feet. Tue END.
