it is drowned in q sight over the

We do not know whether the
Little Giant is a Catholic or not;
but we are inclined to think in
spite of the "evidence," that he is
not. Had he been a Catholic he
would long ere this have avowed
his faith before the American Peo-
pie. No Catholic denies his faith,
either by silence or otherwise.

What have the Republican, Done.

In Massachusetts, they have en-
franchised negroes and disfranchis-
ed all foreign born white men.
In New York they have given
negroes the right of suffrage.
In Ohio, in 1856, Mr.. Monroe a
Republican member Of the Legis-
lature, introduced, q resolution to
strike the word "white" from the
Constitution ofthe State. II
The Republican Supreme Court
of Ohio says that mulatto suffrage
is constitutional, and the Republi-
can Legislature say that while they
are in power it shall be constitu-
tional.
The Republican Supreme Court
have decided that mulattoes are
white citizens ofthe United States,
and have arightto vote, hold Office,
and set on juries.
When the Democracy in the last
Ohio Legislature proposed an
amendment Of the constitution
which would effectually prevent
negro suffrage, the Republican ma
jority defeated the amendment.
In Cleveland the Republican

white children to sit side by side
with negroes-one ofthe members
of the Board saying that che would

In q late speech at Louisville the
Hon. John j. Crittenden, the pa
triotic and eminent Opposition Sen.
ator from Kentucky, paid the fol-
lowing high compliment to Mr.,
Douglas:

honest opponent of the Democratic
party, l have ever been found act
ing upon Wing principles, from
the first to the last. Increased ap,

Douglas in the public councils, and
have acted with him. Although
generally opposed, and especially
upon party questions, we have at
times acted together, and particu-
larly upon the momentous occasion
when we acted together in opposi-
ton to that infamous Lecompton

Mr.. Douglas was there, making a
great sacrifice to his sense of duty.
[ [Applause.] lie was sacrificing his
connection on that occasion, with
many old political friends; lie was
breaking up the relations of long
political life; he was sacrificing as
flattering prospects for the highest
Office of the Government as any
man in the country had. I fully
believe he did what he conceived to
be his duty; and, in defiance of all
opposition, the rack of the Presi-

be mistaken in what he did, but

Hannibal Hamlin a few Years Ago.

1t is astonishing what q perfect
saint person becomes as soon as
he becomes a Black Republican,
however bad he may have been be-
fore. Up to 1856, when Hannibal
Hamlin deserted the Democratic
party, the same Republican papers
that now extol him to the skies,
were the loudest In abuse of him.
He was o corrupt, unprincipled
hypocrite, and beneath contempt.
The denunciation of him went go
far that in the Wing State Conven-
ton of Maine, in 1850 the follow
ing resolutions were passed:
ReSolved, That the election Of
Hannibal Hamln to the Senate Of
the United States, by the united
votes of the Abolitionists and a
portion of the Democratic party,
a man identified with the annexa-
ton Of Texas, the destruction of
the tariff of 1S42, who assisted in
his effort in this State, and in Con-
gress in fixing upon the tariff of
'46, ruinous in its effects to the in
terests of this State, is a result, deep
ly to be doplored by the friends of
the Union, and should meet the
Treprobation of every true Wing.
Resolued, That Whig members
of the legislature by their firm and
united opposition to the election Of
Hannibal Hamlin, have nobly dis
charged their whole duty to the
Wing party; and we feel just
pride in putting the seal of our ap-
probation on their wise and patris
otic course.

The Momentous Question.-Is Doug.

With pallid cheek and quailing
eye, and trembling lip, the Ameri-
can sovereign" points to the pew
door, on which is engraved in let
ters which burn into his soul like
fire, the name, rs. A. DOUGLAS"
Friends and fellow citizens" says
he," do you see where that pew is
situated? Heaven preserve US, fel-
low citizens, it is a catholic
church "a ROMAN Catholic church
Now, I ask you, fellow citizens, is
Douglas a Catholic? . ~
At this terrible quection the gal
liant band who have gathered
around the standard of the Little
Giant, turn pale and tremble; the
American flag no longer waves
proudly in the breeze, but shudders
down close to the flagstaff, and
trails upon the ground; the liberty
cap collapses, and a general con-
vulsion is felt throughout the
length and breadth of the land.
Again the awful Judge, the "sov-
ereign," lifts his dread right arm,
and points. "Look, says he,
Americans, look this time beyond
the ocean-look to Rome. Whom
do we see there? Americans, it is
Stephen A. Douglas Stephen A.
Douglas is in Rome! Americans,

Again the shudder goes through
the gallant band as once more the
dreadful question is propounded-
"Is Stephen A. Douglas a Catho,
lic?" No voice answers-silenct
falls on the land. The Little Giant
has his hands on his ears and evi
dently hasn't heard the question:

The Republican Candidate for Vice
President-A Serious Charge.

1t has beea established as fact,
by Colonel Smart, the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Maine,
that Hannibal Hamlin, the Republi-
can nominee for Vice-President,
when a member of Congress, receiv-
ed-a fee of seuen thousand dollars for
lobbying a claim through Congress.
Read the follqwips letter. ssssas.--.
PORTLAND, August 8, 1860.
"DEAR SIR: l very we'll remem-
Der the interest which Mr.. Hamlin
took in procuring the passage Of
the resolve extending the time for
filing evidence before the commits
sioners for the distribution of Bra
lillian indemnity. The Senate Com
mlttee reported the resolve provid-
ed for nine months additional time
therefor. Mr.. Mason moved to
amend byreducingit it to four months,
saying he had consulted with Mr..
Hamlin, the Senator from Maine,
who had seen the Commissioner.
"The resolve was taken up in the
House on Friday, the day assigned
to Private Calendar, and was fore
cd through before taking up pri-
vate bills. I saw him converse
with yourself and others. He
spoke to me to aid the passage of
the resolve as a public measure, and
at the time 1 did not dream that he
had a private interest in the claim,
or was using his Senatorial position
for his private benefit. The first
knowledge had of Hamlin's attor-
neyship was on meeting him on his
way to Massachusetts, to take evil
dence in support of his claim after
the adjournment.
"During the next session Of Con-
gress, Mr.. Hamlin read to me a
written argument which he hadpre
pared and afterwaed filed before
the Commissioners in support of
the claim which he was employed
to sustain. Why he was engaged
by Massachusetts clients, may well
challenge inquiry. Mr.. Hamlin
has never been distinguished for en-
inence as a lawyer, while he has a
reputation as political and Con-
gressional manager.
'Mr. Hamlin was successful, and,
understood, receivedsomc S2S,00O,
of which his share was one-fourth,
or 1000. He said to me that some
Washington Banker had advised
him to invest this money in some
Western railroad, and he had
acted in accordance with this ad-
vice.
'The manner of Mr.. Hamlin's
employment and his peculiar agen-
cy in the matter must convince ev-
cry one that his political position,
and not his professional talent, was
the business transaction aimed at
by his Massachusetts, clients.

stitutional, and then comes the tug
ofwar. sl anhl saW so +.
1t is for the people of Ohio to
say, whether they desire such a
contest as we have described, which
win surely come if Abolitionists
getthe power ofthe Supreme Court,
or whether they desire the laws Of
the land properly enforced and
Itifus save our noble State from the
foul blot ofdisloyalty and disunion.
In voting for Brinkerhof, they
vote to hasten o war, a contest, a
conflict between the Federal and
State authorities--they vote for the
"irrepressible conflict" to takeplace
within the bounds of the hereto
fore peaceful State of Ohio. But
by voting against that arch Aboli-
ZIONIST, they vote to maintain the
laws Of the Federal Government,
and for preserving the fair escutch-
con of the State, and for the prop
er and peaceful enforcement of the
laws, and for preserving our people
from blood shed and internal war.
Let our Union men, all who are in
favor Of preserving the integrity of
the Constitution, vote against
Brinkerhof, and for his opponent
I'd. S. Smith, a Union man, one
who will decide all questions that
may arise according to the Consti-
tuition and the laws. This is a
question of no small moment to the
people. They have it in their pow
er to choose men who will sustain
the Constitution, or those who will
be sure to violate it, and bring dis
grace and anarchy upon the pco-
pie.

~ Cure for In.(arowing Nails.

It is stated by correspondent
that cauterization by hot tallow is
animmediate cure for in-growing
nails. lie says, SO.
NThe patient on whom I first
tried this was young lady who
had been unable to put on a shoe
for.seFeral months, aud decidedly
the worst case / have ever seen
The disease had been oflong stand
ing. The edge of the nail was
deeply undermined; the granula-
tions,formeda a high ridge, partly
covered with.skin, and pus con-
stantly oozed from the root Of the
nail; the whole toe was swollen,
and extremely tender and painful.
My mode of proceeding was thus
put a very small piece of tallow
in a spoon and heat it over lamp
until it, becomes very hot, and
dropped two or three drops be-
tween the nail end gradulations.-
y The effect was almost magical
Pain and tenderness were at once
relieved, and in a. few days the
examinations were all gone, the dis
eased parts all dried and destitute
Of feeling, and the edge ofthe nail
exposed so as to admit Of beingpar-
edaway withoutany Inconvenience.
The cure was complete, and the
trouble never returned. / have
= tried this plan repeatedly since
with the most satisfactory results,
The operation causes but little II
any. pain il, the tallow is properly
heated A repetition might in
some cases be necessary, although
z never have met with a case that
aidnot yield to the first application
Admitting the theory of DR.. Lorin-
sefto be correct, the modns operan'
ds IS very plain to be seen. The
liquid cautery insinuates itself in
every interstice nnderthe nail, ac
complishedin one minute, without
pain, all that can be affected by the
painful application of nitrate silvel
for several weeks.
