So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu-

every section of country abounds in persons pub
icly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections Of the
pulmonary organs that incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community nave failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial. conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.

We last week mentioned that negro named
Daniel Webster had been apprehended at Har-
risburgb, under the fugitive slave law, and ia
ken to Philadelphia for a hearing. He was
claimed as fugitive from Mrs. Simpson, of
Athensyille, Virginia, who alleged that he ran
away from her in 1854. The negro contend
ed, on the other hand, that he had resided in
this State over nine years. Z. S. Commits
sioner Longstreth decided in favor of the free
dom of the negro, on the ground that the evi-
dence did not sufficiently identify him as the
'schattef' who had escaped from Mrs. Simp-
son in 1854. The case produced much ex-
element; the court room was filed to over
flowing, and the strictest silence was main
tanned until the Commissioner announced the
discharge of the prisoner, when perfect storm
of applause burst forth. Dan, it is said, start
ed as soon IS possible for Canada.

AN AVALANCHE OF VICToRIEs.-The oppo-
nents Of the present corrupt dynasty at Wash
iDgton, remarks the Harrisburgh Telegraph.
have every reason to feel jubilant just now.
During the past week a perfect avalanche of
Republican victories have rolled in upon us
from various sections of the Union Every
where, even in Slave States, the march of
Freedom is onward, giving unmistakeable in
dications of grand crowning triumph for the
anti-Democratic party in the Presidential cam
paign of 1860. Connecticut gives a clean
Republican victory. So does Michigan. Both
of these States roll up majorities as heavy as
in 1856, notwithstanding the drawbacks which
local influences always exert in such elections.
Rhode Island, too, does nobly, electing the
Republican State ticket, the Legislature and
Congressmen. Cleveland, last year Democrat
St. Louis rolls up an increased Republican
majority, and Louisville gives very decided
Opposition majority. Nearly all the munich
pal elections, thus far, have gone against the
Democracy. The Administration is effectual-
ly wiped out everywhere. The people are
condemning, in a manner too emphatic to be
misunderstood, the tyranny and corruption of
the slave-led dynasty at Washington and the
Slavery Battaions and Spoils Cohorts, already
weakened and dispirited by frequent reverscs,
will be in no condition to meet the vigorous
and well-disciplined hosts of Freedom in the
great contest of 1860. A Buena Vista defeat
awaits them; and anticipating such result.
they thus early begin to feel like furing their
colors, grounding their weapons, and surren-
dering at discretion

MORE PLAINTALK

The anti-Lecompton Democratic papers con-
tinue to denounce the action of the late
sSoapo Convention, which repadisted Gov.
Packer. The Erie Express says if the candi-
dates nominated endorse the action of the
Convention, it will not support them and after
commenting on the conduct Of the controlling
spirits, says -
| True, there were few good men there, who
struggled manfully and hard for the right, but
whose mouths were kept shut by the injustice
of the presiding officer, or who were brow
| beaten and overawed by the bullying hordes
I of office-holders and attaches, that were mt
there from the Philadelphia Custom House,
1 and even from the United States Senate itself,
| for that purpose. Are such doings to be toll
Grated. viii the democracy of the State en-
| dorse the proceedings OF that Convention ?
| We pause for reply.
| The following paragraph is taken from an
article in ihe Ledger, the Democratic organ
| in Warren county:
| The Democratic State Convention which
assembled at Harrisburg on the 10th inst, saw
/ fit to read Gov. Packer out Of the party by a
vote of ST to 81. The ostensible reason for
| so doing, as stated by those who denounced
/ the Governor, that be had favored the
! sale of the canals to the Sunbury and Erie
/ railroad company, and we notice this same
reason SIS given by all the papers which sus-
/ tain the late Convention To show how much
sincerity there is in this, it is only necessary
to state that beth branches of The Legislature
had Democratic majority last session, when
| the ssSunbury and Erie swindle,'' as it is call
ed, was passed. Gov. Packer signed the bill,
! because he had no constitutional objections
| to it !; but if blame attaches to any one, it
must be to those Representatives and Senators
who passed the bill. But the whole thing is
the meauest kind of subterfuge. The fact
plainly sticks oat in every move of the Con-
vention that Gov. Packer was denounced be-
cause of his anti-LecomptOn sentiments
Nearly all of the 81 were office holders under
! the General Government, or had sons who
were office holders, and they were bound to
do as they were bid by the President. Mr..
Buchanan had determined to sacrifice Gov.
| Packer, because ii was not thought safe to
dlio1c any Democrat to differ with the Nation
al Administration, and this silly twaddle aboat
! the Governors action in regard to the Sun
| bury and Erie railroad is the sheerest non
sense, and insulting to the intelligence OF the
| people of this Commonwealth.
