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

every section OF country abounds in persons pub

and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried. its superiority over every

public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections Of the
pulmonary organs that are Incident TO climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial. conferred benefits
on the afflicted they never forget, and pro-

Arrival of the Pony Express.

ST. JOSEPH, August 13.-The Pony Ex-

ing. .t..... ...l.... E
The Democratic State Central Committee,
appointed at the last State Convention, met
at San Francisco. ~ -'
On the 30th and 3lst ult,, and after a long
discussion, which it was endeayored TO avoid
a split in the party by holding but Que State
Convention, and nominating but one Electoral
Ticket, it was found inipracticable to act har-
Inoniously. 'Twenty-six committeeman were
for Breckinridge, and ten for Douglas.
The former have called State Convention
TO nominate an Electoral Ticket, on the llth
Of September, and the latter win hold their
Convention, 10 nominate Douglas Electoral
Ticket, on the 5th Of September. .
They claim that Federal patronage and in
fluence have greatly weakened their strength
mittee has published an address to the De-
mocracy of the State The one claiming
that Douglas was regularly nominated and
entitled TO the support of all the members oi
the party; the other denying that either
Douglas or Breckenridge were regularly
| nominated at Baltimore, and leaving Il
optional which candidate isyoted for. u.
A Breckenridge ratification meeting was
held at San Francisco. on Saturday evening
It was called rs Democratic ratification
meeting, and the Douglas Democrats at.
tended In such numbers as 10 be able to vote
down all the ratifying resolutions.
II is now alleged that the Douglas Demo.
crats are taking courage throughout the State
and feel confident Of carrying the mass
the Democratic voters With them. .
A movement is on foot TO call a Bell ano
Everett Convention to nominate an Electora
Ticket.

Tho Washington correspondent Of the
Tribune states that the report which has for
some days been current at Columbus, that
the President had reconBidered the removal
of Thomas Mller the Postmaster at Oolum-
bus, and the appointment Of Mr.. Dawson, is
correct and that Mr.. Miller viii be retained.
This case is fair illustration of the character
of this Administration. When Buchanan
camein, another Democrat was turned out, and
Miller appointed. When Cox denounced Le-
compton, Miller was removed and 5, Medafy
appointed. Cox became reconciled and Miller
was restored, and Medary sent to the wilder
ness Of Kansas. New, the Statesman, of,which
Miller is part proprietor, goes for Douglas
aud Dawson, q Breckenridge man, was noti-
fed of his appointment in Miller's place
He sent on his bond, but the justice or no
tary who certified II, omitted TO sign the
certificate II was sent back to be perfected
but in the mean time the President changed
his mind, wrought upon, IL is supposed, by
representations Of Cox, who is supposed &c
have some claim upon the President In re-
gard to the appointments in his District.
SO narrow is the slip between the cup o.
official favor and the lip, to Mr.. Dawson; and
80 slippery Is the character of this Admins
tratlon. AS Falstaff improperly observed o.

The Bell and Everett Party-Its Jarrins
Elarmeuta

The Hen and Evorett Party-Its Jartins
Elements.
II Is evident that here--as perhaps Is the
case elsewhcre--the Bell and Everett party
Is composed Of two quite distinct classes,
which have little IL any sympathy With each
other. There is, In the first place, the con-
servative or mercantile class, made up Of.
substantial citizens, and highly respectable, IL
not very progressive there is, then, the fast
BOYS of the old Know-Nothing stamp, fond
of noise and confusion, and not by any
means quite so highly respectable in their
conduct or conversation as their brethren.
The party, therefore, is made up Of thetwo
social and economical extremes, and the
effect Of this is becoming noticeable to those
without, As II Is felt by those within, the or
ganiSntion. Having large share Of the
money of the community in its hands, il
would seem at first sight as II the party could
readily command the means 10 supply itself
with all machinery and implements necessary
TO carry forward Us operations In the most
vigorous and satisfactory manner and so,
doubtless, IL might, but for difficulties grow
ing out Of the heterogeneous character Of its
materials. D."
The fact Is that the party which Is to fur
nish the money has neither respect for, nor
confidence in, the party by whom II is to be
expended. The conservative branch would
like to have the campaign carried on vigor-
ously but quietly, while with the other branch
there is little taste for any thing but noise
and confusion, torch-lights and simulated
enthusiasm rowdyism and not unfrequently
rufiauism. These facts will necessarily
operate to shorten the supplies of the ''sinews
of war; and will give an uncertain and ir-
regular character to tho operations of the
party not likely TO add to its efficiency.
There is-it can not be overlooked--a per-
ceptible disposition on the part Of the mer-
camille branch Of the party, to keep clear OF
all completely with the active operations Of
the canvass. Willing to give their votes to
that candidate for the Presidency who, as
they understand il, most truly represents the
conservative idea they do not care to have
his interests mixed up in the chicanery and
excitements of local election, or that un-
spotted respectability, Of which he is the
symbol, clouded and dishonored by the ecoarse-
uess and vulgarity which is 30 often the most
prominent feature in our modern party DEM
| onstrations.
To such as take philosophical view OF the
political affairs of the country, and love to
Judge and act impartially, this is a matter
for regret. With these, the desire is to Gee
the political game fairly played, and to see
each party avail itself, with reasonable skill,
Of the materials and chances it has legiti-
inately in its hands. The moral force of the
mercantile conservatism of this city, for
example, is by no means Insignificant; and it
would be sorrowful to behold it frittered
away, and worse than lost, through the folly
aud disreputable conduct of those who are
permitted to act as its representatives,

Concealed woapona.

The administration of the law against car
rying concealed weapons is very nice and
technical in our police department, and il
lustrates the beauty of the law. We have
mentioned the case of a negro who was as
saulted on the street and then taken in hand
by policeman and searched for concealed
weapons, and finally sent up to work out a
$40 fine and costs on the chain-gang for hav-
ing pistol and not using It, in which case
II would, of course, have not been concealed.
But Warren Lundy, an ex-policenan, who
got into a fracas with some women In a
house Of ll-fame, and fred several shots at
them before the police interrupted the sport,
was discharged because no one appeared to
make an affidavit the policemen being un-
accountably deficient In this case.
Those who carry weapons will observe that
1t is the concealment alone which constitutes
the offense, which they can remove by pull
ing out their pistols and firing at women OF
any such small deer, II Is gratifying to OBJ
serve that about the same time, man was
sent up for thirty days for having a SluDg-
shot on his person without using II. ,os bae

1t Is reported that President Buchanan, in
accordance with the discretion left with him
in the appropriation to raise the mission to
Sardinia to the first class, declines 10 make
the change 10 n frst-class mission. If so, it
Is fortunate for the country, whether it is to
be attributed to Mr.. Buchanans good sense
or to the fact that just at present he has mo
friends to reward" Our whole diplomatic
system is an imposition upon the country,
aud should be curtailed instead of expanded
What part do we undertake in the politics OF
Europe2 Our Ministers never venture to
open their mouths on European questions
and if they did would only show their ig-
norance.
We profess that we want nothing 10 do
with them. Then why keep up diplomatic
establishments, that lifelong only TO entangling
alliances, and interventions and balances of
power? Our ministers abroad never obtained
any thing for our commerce, and seem to
consider it beneath their dignity. We have
the privilege of buying whatever Europe
wants TO sell, while she excludes every thing
Of our commodities that she is not absolutely
compelled to have, and levies dutiesalmostp pro-
hibitory in many cases, on our products. 1t
does not take diplomatic establishments to
procure this, nor TO keep it. Our missions to
Europe are only hospitals for wounded
politicians, and the utmost that is hoped Of
them, is that they will not make the nation
ridiculous; and experience makes this hope
unreasonable.
Besides, Sardinia is not irst-clsss power
What she is, she is by French intervention
and how long she may remain 80 depends OF
French grace. She has already given up {
part Of her ancient territory, thing which
does not indicate an independent nation
This move, to raise that mission to the first
class, was made by Senator Wilson, prob
ably in haste to anticipate somebody else
Just as foolish, and to make show of sym.
pathy for Italian Independence. We hat
better wait till we see something Of independ
snce there, before we go to any extra ex
pense; and il is not the business of tn,
American Government to send missions ovel
the world, to carry sympathy to othei
nations. Wait at least until they ask for it

From Toronto.

ToRoNTo, August l3.-While some men
were excavating near the old Fort in this
place, they discovered the remains of fifteen
bodies of British and American soldiers, who
were killed in the war of 1872. Several but
tons, bayonets and epaulettes were also found.
One button has the initials of Pennsylvania
Rangers on 1t; another is marked o. s., and
another Eighth British Grenadiers. A few
American coins were also found. From the
position of the bodies, il is evident that they
were buried in the trench near where they
fell. General Pike and 200 Americans, and
number of British, were killed near this
spot, in 1873 by the explosion of apowder::
magazine in Toronto.
