NoTIcE.-We have been informed
that several unprincipied parties have,
for some time past, been refilling our
empty bottles with spurious article,
and retailing it to their customers as
the genuine Hostetter Bitters. All
such engaged, should be stunned by
all that value their health, for it is
evident that those who would prosti-
tute themselves to one base action,
would not hesitate in others. We
would also earnestly caution you to
examine well the bottle before purchas-
ing, as in different parts of the Union
several worthless preparations are
gotten up with the evident design OF
being palmed off as our Bitters, having
a similar bottle and label, and the direc-
tions, ETC., taken off verbation, save
the omittance Of DR.. j: Hostetter's
name.

The judicial Ticket.

The Lansing Republican speaking of
the denomination of Hon. George
Martin, for reelection for Chief Justice,
holds the following pointed remarks,
which we recommend to the considera-
ton of every Republican in Cass Coun-
ty:-" Republicans! it is you who have
taken the responsibility of placing this
good man in the canvas, and it is You
who must elect him. Your opponents,
the pro-slavery Democrats, on the next
day after you had named your candi-
date, assembled in the same place, and
presented one of their number--Alpheus
Felch-and in the manner of doing it
and by their resolutions and speeches
approving of the policy of the propa
CATION of human slavery, and of the infa
nous acts and policy of James Blu
chanan, they made known to the world
that they presented their candidate
not as an upright and eminent jurist
but as pro-slavery partizan, who like
them, is willing to be availed of every
influence, however debasing, so that
such influence betoken success. 1t il
they, and not we, who soil the sacred
ermine of justice, by dragging it into
the soiled arena of political strife.
The obligation being upon us, let Us
see to it that no rainy day-no loca
dissension, no personal variance, nc
dissatisfaction with the township OF
other ticket, prevent us from doing oul
duty to ourselves and our candidate
Our enemies are on the alert, and prom
Use to themselves great results through
the falling off of the last Republican
majority-see to it, that they are agail
disappointed; to a greater degree, bu
in the other discretion. Every vote, il
majority, that George Martin receive
over Alpheus Felch, less than twelv'
thousand, will De a living proof that tn
Republican party of Michigan, hav,
not shaken off the Incidence of 1858.

An UBIQUITOUS SCHEME.-The new
apportionment proposed by the Demo
Gratis in the Illinois Legislature is made
expressly to perpetuate the ascendency
of that party in their State. 1t gives
thirty-eight members to the Honse OF
Representatives from territory which
polled ll3, 900 votes at the late election,
and thirty-seyen members only to
the remainder of the State, which cast
100000 votes. La Sale county, accor.
ding to this apportionment, which polled
1850 votes at the late election, is only
entitled to one representative, while
Richland and Jasper, which polled only
1928 votes, are allowed one represen-
tative. At the same time Madison
county, which polled but $3.50 votes
is allowed two representatives. 1t is
altogether more Ubiquitous than the old
apportionment.

SPECIAL Message to Congress.

We publish in this Issue the special
message of President Buchanan to
Congress, urging upon that body the
necessity of empowering, in certain
cases, the President to employ the
naval and military force of the country
to "protect the rights and defend the
lives and liberties of our citizens in
foreign countries" The message is a
repetition of the views twice before
presented to Congress from the same
source, urging that body to transfer
into the executive hands the sole and
arbitrary power to make war, upon
whatever pretext he might consider
admirable. The President supports
his call with several instances indica-
ting the necessity of this transfer of
power to his hands, the chief Of which
are the ancient riots at Panama, and
the present disturbed state of Mexico.
w DISSuulc IL CttSC ulOlC
with Mr.. Buchanan's intentions, and
hence more directly in point would
have been the affair of the Black War
rior at HAVANA, as this would hint
directly at the pet scheme of the Pre-
sident for the acquisition of Cuba,
peaceably if we could, forcibly if we
must"
The constitution has wisely placed
the war-making power in the hands OF
the people, and. the country is not yet
prepared to see it handed over to a SIN
gle individual, thus virtually overturn-
ing our present Republican system, and
clothing the executive with despotic
power.

| ference to countries where the lawful
authorities are strong enough to enforce
laws, the difficulties here indicated can
seldom occur but where this is not the
case, and the local authorities do not
possess the will to protect our citizens
within their limits, recentexperience has
shown that the Executive should itself
be authorized to render this protection.
Such a grant of authority thus limited
in its extent, could in no just sense be
regarded as transferred the war-mak-
ing power to the Executive, but only
as an appropriate exercise of that pow
er by the body to whom it exclusively
belongs. The riot in Panama in 1856.
in which a great number of our citi-
zens lost their lives, furnishes pointed
illustration of the necessity which NAV
arise for the exercise of authority.
therefore earnestly recommend to Con
gress, on whom the responsibility ex-
clusiyely rests, to pass law. before
their adjournment, comforting on the
President the power to protect the lives
and property of American citizens in
the cases which I have indicated, I'M.
| der such restrictions and conditions as
'tthey may deem advisable. The knowl-
edge that such law exists, would OF
itself go far to prevent the outrages
which it is intended to redress, and
render the employment of force unnec
essary. Without this, the Presiden,
of the United States may be placed in
painful situations before the meeting O
the next Congress. In the present dis

A COMPLICATED Row IN NEW 0RLEASs.--
The New Orleans correspondent Of the st.
Louis Repu6lcan writes in q recent letter: a A
I Theiorigin Of large majority Of street brawls
and Arrays Is OF no greater Importance than
that Of one which occurred yesterday, in which
a maDlnamed g. struck mad named F.
with d loaded cane, and received in return o
pistol bullet, which will probably in due time
termi4ate his earthly existence. The quarrel
was all about o mulatto woman, the mother Of
J-Ps children, though how it arose, or what
itwa} for, is of no consequence. A few years
ago tho same J--- ruiaed young girl, and
was compelled by her brother in law to marry
her. He was just about going on board q
steamship to escape the consequences Of his
cond%ot, when the brother-in.law intercepted
him, and, with pistol presented, forced him to
return and espouse the girl, whom, however,
he sbon deserted and slandered most infa-
mousy, and was then compelled. by the puga-
niciohs brother r-in-law, to sign an exceedingly
humi iliating document, confessing himself o
liar |and caluminator. He returned to the
fOrmbr dusky partner of his bosom, who some
J timeIafterward cowhided him In the street for
somd offense he had given her.. Such occur
rencSs are all the more narrowing to the nerves
ofddcently disposed people, when, as in this
easel the persons concerned occupy positions
whidhshould make them respectable members
'ofsdciety. 5r s.s.ii,.

u The RBLIGfoN OF THE FUTURE.--Dr. ,Hol-
land (Timothy Titcomb) expresses himself
freely upon this theme, and we have always
thought what he says will be verified: There
is time coming when all the scots which now
divide Christendom will be melted into ono.
Nothing but the blotting out of Christianity
can hinder it. My Presbyterian friend has
his fragmentary ideal Of Christ; my Episcopal
friend anothsrj my Roman Catholic friend an
other, and 30 or, through Bsptists, Methodists,
Universalists, and all the rest; but as the
Christian worlds ideal Of Christ advances, and
ne is apprehendod in something of the fuiness
Of his being and character, will the worlds
theologies approach each other9 They
must doso, and they are doing so to-day. The
best evidence in the world that Christianity is
advancing is found in. the tact that the walls
between the sects are growing weaker, or fall
ing in ruins. When they ell come up to the
point of anything like q just idea Of the sun in
the center of their systems, they will find there
is no difference between them. 15jn'af = n.
