Spalding has sold two millions of BOTTLES of his
celebrated prepared Glue, and it is estimated that
each bottle at least ten dollars worth of bro

millions of dollars reclaimed from total loss by this
valuable invention. Having made his Glue house

greater service by curing all the aching heads with
his Cephalic Pills, and if they are good as his
Glue, headaches will soon vanish away like snow

rw HEADACHE is the favorite sign by which ma
ture makes known any deviation whatever from the
natural state of the BRAIN and viewed in this light
it may be looked on as a safeguard intened to give
notice of disease which might otherwise escape
attention. till too late to be remedied; and its ind-
cations should never be neglected. Headaches
may be classified under two names. viz: Sympto-
matte and Idiopathic Symptomatic headache is
exceedingly common and is the precursor of a
great variety of diseases, among which are Apo
plexy, Gout, Rheumatism, and all febrile diseases.
In its nervous form it is sympathetic of the disease
of the stomach constituting sick headache of hepa
tic disease constituting bilious headache of worms,
constipation and other disorders of the bowels as
well as renal and uterine affections. Diseases of
the heart very frequently attended with head
aches; An@mia and plethora also affections
which frequently occasion headache. Idiopathic
headache is also very common, being usually dis
tingulshed by the name of nervous headache, some
times coming on suddenly in state of apparently
sound health and prostrating at once the mental
and physical energies, and in other instances it
comes on slowly heralded by depression of spirits
acerbity of temper. In most instances the pain
is in the front of the head, or both eyes,
and sometimes provoking vomiting; under this
class may also be named Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class of headache the
Cephalic Pills have been found a sure and safe
medy relieving the most acute pains in few min
utes and by its subtle power Graduating the disea-
SEES of which headache is the unerring index.

GREAT DIscovERY.-Among the most important

ONE INTERPRETATION OF THE REPUB
LICAN CREED

Gen. James Watson Webb, Editor in chief of th,
New York Courier and Enquirer, lays down Lii
creed as follows:
lst, and 81. The states have a right to estaL
lish and perpetuate slavery. Sd. Congress cannot
abolish H.. 4lh. 1t cannot be abolished in the
District of Columbia without the consent of Mary
land. 9th. The negro is 10 our Judgment, phys
cally socially and morally, in better condition as
slave in most of the Slave States, than he would
be in state Of freedom and therefore, opposed
as we are to the Institution, if tho General Gov
ernment possessed the power and the constitution,
al right to abolish slavery In the Slave States, ace
should earnestly protest against its abolition with
out first providing for the extradtion of the freed
man beyond the limits of the United States. 9th.
While it is the right of the people of Slave
State to agtate the question of Slavery, and get
rid OF the Institution as soon as practicable, we
hoG that every attempt on the part Of persons not
Inhabitants of such State. 10 interfere with the
Institution where it legally and constitutionally
exists, is crime against the Union ITSELF and that
it is not only duty Of all good citizens to frown
down any such an attempt, butif necessary, to
bear arms in defence of the right of every State,
to regulate it's internal affairs as to it may seem
expedient-not inconsistent with its duty to the
Constitution and the Union.
And we advocate the election of Lincoln
to the Presidency because we know that his cor
sutusiona views in regard to slavery, are precisely
those we have always advocated. What may be
his abstract notions in relation to the erpsdiency
OF getting rid Of slavery if there wero no constitu
tional barriers in the way we do not know, nor
is it our right to enquire What we do know, is
that the intelligent politician who is familiar with
Mr.. Lincoln's constitutional views upon the ques-
ton OF slavery. and yet pretends that his election
can under any circumstances, prove injurious to
the South, is knave who de5iguedly misead hon
est men and fosters slavery agitation for base and
selfish purposes.

"A RUNAWAY CAPTURED AFTER FIVE
YEARS ABsENOE-DBspERkTE
RESISTANCE

Some Eve years ago, Mr.. Duval, Of Chesterfield
missed one Of his likeliest negro mon, and though
repeated endeavors we're made to discover hi.
/ whereu bouts, he still remained at large. A few
days ago Mr.. Duval learned that he would prob
ably capture the runaway by strict alert in OF
about Richmond, and pursuing this course, with
the assistance of some of the Richmond police, he
succeeded. Yesterday morning, when he was
about to take him from that city, and had arriye ed
at the Petersburg depot the negro broke away
and fought with terrific fury against his master
and the police officers who accompanied him. lie
was finally subdued, handcuffed and safely placed
upon board the train. AT the halfway station
Mr. Duva' left the cars with his negro, an1 plac
ing him in buggy, drove towards home. They
had not proceeded far before the negro succeeded
in getting one of the handouts of, assailed his
master With desperation evidently with the iuten.
ton to kill or seriously injure him. But Mr. Du-
val being resolute man. of firm calbre and a
quick eye, met the assault, and for upwards Of
half on hour tho master and slave scuf1led and
fought in the buggy. They proceeded thus for
about half mile the fight growing more fearful
as they continued, when they were met by the
Rev. Charles 7. Friend. The circumstances were
fortunate for Duval, who would no doubt have
been finally overpowered. lie called to Mr.. Friend
to assist him. Ia q short time the negro was over
powered and tied firmly with ropes and spare
reins, but the giant strength of the refractory
slave had rather increased than diminished, and
he snapped the ropes that were twisted about his
arms, like SO much twine. and again offered fear
full resistance. They were without any other
immediate means of securing him, although they
quickly succeeded in overpowering him.
Fortunately, Mrs. Friend, who witnessed the
scene with frmness and without fear. having in
her carriage fifteen yards Of cotton cloth, which
she had purchased, suggested that that would ans
wer for rope, and at producing it, folded it,
with her husbands aid, to sufficient size for the
,land with it the negro was tied beyond all
possibility Of escare. lie was then taken safely
home. Both Mr.. DuvaPs and the negroes cloth

MORE OF THE WASHINGTON KIDNApPlNG AFFAIR
I--ARREsT OF THE SUPPOSED OFfESDERs-It will
be recolected that the town of Washington, in
Fayette county of this State, was terribly agitated
on the 9th Of June. by the kidnapping of John
Marshall, negro,for several years a resident of
that place. Yesterday, river Policemen Colby and
Chumley, arrested two bl lothers named James and
Thomas Hese, on charge OF being concerned in
the abduction of Marshall. Whatever testimony
the officers have. they are very charry Of commit.
nicatng so that we are unable to designate the
chain with which they hope to fasten the guilt up
on the accused. The crcum stances of the offence,
as narrated at the time, we're these:
Marshall had been resident of the place for
Eve years, and was at the house Of Mr.. Thomas
Keys, ono mile South of Washington. On tho
morning of the 9th of June, carriage contain.

istered their names at the hotel as j. G. Andrews,
James Francis and Thomas Hope,) drove to the
residence of Mr.. Keys as the family sat at break

getting Marshall into their carriage and drove off

Slavery appears be carried on quite extensively
by Virginia dealers in human flesh about Alexan-
dra. We learn by the Baltimore Clipper that re.
Gently ten free negroes, seven men and three wo.
men, were unlawfully abducted from the State Of
Maryland and taken to AleXandria. Five Of the
men. and three women were sold to go South and
being helpless and friendless were carried off into
life servitude. The Mayor Of Alexandria hearing
of the outrage, sent detective to the negro jails
Of the city, and found two of the abducted men,
who had been left at the establishment of Price,
Birch & Co., for safe-keepiug. Proceedings were
instituted, and the two free men were returned to

A MODERN POLITICIAN.

Dennis alias Michael Brown, was found, SC
says the Boston Herald, few evenings since, in
the streets Of that city, addressing an imaginary
audience, concerning the greu. principles now ag.
itatng the country. Mr.. Brown, after coouctting
with bottle of whisky, is usually taken that way
and it was judged by the police that Mr.. Brown
would be benefited by complaining Of him as a
common drunkard, and sending him to the place
where whisky Is unknown, except on special occa-
sons.

1.-The basis of the Anti-Slavery movement is
this-an utter and unqualified denial of the infer
nal assumption that man can hold property in
man. For, if slaves are property, the rights Oi
property attach to them. That which is property
any,ohere, is property eceryohere. If we coucede
the right of the STAKEHOLDER so his slave anywhere
we must everywhere-if in one state. then in all
states and territories. Property is property by
the law Of Nature-it is not the creature of accI-
dental human enactment. But the stakeholder
holds his fellow-mau by tenure Of fraud and rob.
bery-by virtue of mere brute force. Hence, as
such, be has mo rights which honest men are
bound to respect'- True american.

Before the stout harvesters fa!leth the grain,
AS when the strong storrn-winG is reapng the

And loiters the boy in the briery lane;
, But yonder aslant comes the silvery rain,
Like long line of spears brightly FURNISHED and
tall.
Adown the white highway, Ike cavalry feet,
1t dashes the dust with its numberless feet,
Like a murmurless school, in their leafy retreat,
The wild birds sit iistening as the drops round
them beat;
And the boy crouches close to the blackberry
wall.
The swallows alone take the storm on the wing;
And, taunting the tree-sbeltered laborers, sing;
Like pebbles the rain breaks .he face of the
spring,
While a bubble darts up from each widening
ring;
And the boy, in dismay, hears the loud shower
fail.
But soon are the hGrvesters tossing the sheaves;
The robin darts out from his bower of leaves;
The wren peersTh forth from the moss covered

And the rain-spstteFsd urohin now gladly per
