A CARD TO THE SUFFERING.

The REV. WILLIAM CosGRovE, while la
boring as Il missionary in Japan, was cured
of Consumption, when all other means had
failed, by recipe obtained from a learned
physician residing in the great city of Jeddo.
This recipe has cured great numbers who
were suffering from Consumption, Bronchitis,
Snre Throat, Coughs and Colds, and the de-
blity-and nervous depression caused by these
disorders.
Desirous of beneftting others, | will send
this recipe, which have brought home with
me, to all VI ho need it, free of charge.

Cresson and Syracuse.

Az sundry times within the last six
weeks the proceedings of the Democracy
At Cresson yesterday would have been of
vastly moro consequence than at present.
Even after the disastrous disruptions OF
their National Con vention at Charleston
and at Baltimore, thoroughly uplted
Democratic party in Pennsylvania might
have been confronted to the Opposition
and would have put the latter upon their
mettle 10 achieve a victory for LINCOLN.
But the leaders. By their chickering's, and
their blupdering management and blind
obedience to the Administration, that had
already so badly damaged their party,
allowed the golden opportunity to pass
As the case stands now, the more saga.
cious sdberents of the Democrats party
freely admit that it is but of slight prac-
tical Importance to the contest in Novom
Der, whether their party presents diSi-
ded or united front to their adversaries.
II co o1 bination is formed that will, in
any contingency, enure to the ADVANTAGE
of BRECKINRIDGE, thousands Of the
DOUGLAS men viii stay at home on cleo
ton day, or else vote for LINCOLN. Ii,
on the other hand, such @ compromlse Il
Effected as admits the regularity OF DOUG
LAS. and looks to his exclusive benefit,
then thousands of the BRECKINRIDGE
Democrats will sullenly refuse to vote
If divided front is shown, Of course de.
feat is inevitable. Either way makes
LINcoLNs ''election sure" in PeDusylva-
MIA. These views viii explain our mean
ing, when we declare that, however i'm
portant the result Of the Democratic State
Committees deliberations, at Cresson,
might have been at one tine, they are
quite of secondary consequence now.
Practically, the Presidential question
was settled at Syracuse on "Wednesday
last New York was the ouly STATE
where the Opposition to LINCOLN had
shadow of chance to concentrate in
way to eususe his defeat. That chance
was thrown away. when the delegates to
the BRECKINRIDGE Convention pscei

BY THE BARD OF THE EAsToN HALL OF FASHION
To get cool seems to be the aim
OF all in this hot weather,
When scarce sufficient breeze is stirring
To move the tinyest feather.
For famed Niagara, men are seen,
In crowds, to wend their way,
Hoping twill cool their fevered blood
10 watch its gliitering spray.
Atlantic City's halls, tits said,
Are crowded to o'erhowing
By sweltering wights, who hope to catch
An air, from ocean blowing.
Cape May, Newport, and Tip Top House,
Upon New Hampshire's mountain,
With every other place that boasts
OF cooling wind and fountain.
Are al! resorted TO, by men
Who, their labor track well scheming,
fIave earned the means to enable them
To spend some time in dreaming.
The end that each one has in view,
To get and to keep cool,
Would not be gained where eating, talking,
Dressings done by rule.
Were not all furnished with attire,
In workmanship and style.

Mr.. LINCOLN ON SECESSION AND OFFICE
SEEKING.-A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing from Springfield, speaks OF
MIR. Lincoln's views respecting formal
declaration in reference to the Southern
excitement. Mr., Lincoi!n said:
'l know the justness of my intentions, and
tn, utter groundesss ess of the pretended
fears OF the men who are filing the country
with their clamor. If go into the Presidency,
they vii! find me as am on record-nothing
less, nothing more. My declarations have
been made to the world without reservation.
They have been often repeated; and, now,
self-respect demands of me and of the party
that has elected me that, when threatened,
should be SILENT
In regard to applications for Office, Mr..
Lincoln remarked:
81 have made up my mind not to be badg-
nothing, high nor low, and will not. By
and-by, when I cali somebody to me in the
character of an adviser, we will examine the
claims to the most responsible posts, and
decide what shall be done As for the rest, |
shall have enough to do without reading
recommendations for country postmasters
these, and all others of the sort, will turn
over to the heads of departments, and make
them responsible for the good conduct of their
subordinates"
The same correspondent says that Mr.
Lincoln receives from the South great many
threatening and insulting letters, some o.
which are evidently written by men o
educatiOn

The Springfield Jubilee.

The Republicans of Springfield, Ills. had
fine demonstration, on the night of the Goth
inst. Speeches were made by the Presiden,
elect, and Senator Trumbull, and others.
Mr.. Lincoln made but few remarks, and was
interrupted by his excited hearers at every
word. He said:
FRIENDS AND FELLOW CITIZENS :-Plea.e
excuse me on this occasion from ma ing a
speech. thank you for the kindness and
compliment of your call. l thank you in
common with all others who have thought
tit by their votes to indorse the Republican
cause. [Applausel l rejoice with you in
the success which has 80 far attended that
cause. [Applause. Yet, in all our rejoic-
ing, let US neither express nor cherish any
harsh feeling towards any citizen who, by
his vote, has differed withus. Loud cheers
Let us at all times remember that ali
American citizens are brothers of common
country, anl should dwell together in the
bonds of fraternal feeling Immense ap-
plause Let me again beg you to accept
my thanks, and to excuse me from further
speaking at this time.

The Calm after the storm.

The Union demonstrations cow taking place
in the South strengthen us in the belief We
have heretofore expressed, that the mass Of
the people in that section are conservative
and patriotic The secession feeling is likely
to DC localized in South Carolina, with other
nuclea of discomfort in Georgia and Alabama.
But before it can find time to act, the con-
servatism of the other slave States will have
spoken, and the secessionists will find them.
selves far less important than they now sup
pose. The fact is now fully demonstrated
that all the recent commotion was rot solely
in consequence of the election of Mr.. Lincoln.
In South Carolina, the sentiment of disunion
is forty years old, and at stated intervals its
take place. The people are getting
used to it, and it don't frighten them quite as
much as formerly.
