United States; and for proof of this he will SUBJ
stantiate by cases that have been cured by him.
after having exhausted the skill of all the emil
nent Occulists in the cities of Boston, Phiadel-
phia and New York. DR.. p. wholly objects to
the use of caustic, blue stone-keepng the pa.
,ient in dark room, dieting, blistering, cup
ping-the blue pill at night and salts in the
morning. ETC.. etc. DIR. PARDEE has also
been remarkably successful in the treatment of
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and all pains about the
head; and the frequent calls that he has for his
Rheumatic mixture from all parts of the coast
with the many testimonials, is positive proof of
its efficacy and to prevent answering many in.
quires by letter, he will state that it can be sent
to any part of the State coast, and each bot
tie will be accompanied by full directions and a
receipt for liniment, magical in its effects over
pain, ingredients of which can be procured any
where-price, $40. The ARTIFICIAL EYES

Kentucky.

The Louisville Democrat says the fight in that
State is between Douglas and Bell-that Bteck-
inridge is third in the race. Hear it;
To our friends abroad we can safely say that
if we do not beat Bell in Kentucky, we will run
him about as close race as he ever was put to.
We have cleaned out the ''quarter nag" and
we intend to finish Bell. Look out, Opposi-
ton p 1t is not Breckinridge who is cow to be
beaten, but the uncomfortable Douglas.
Of the Douglas State Convention, the Demo-
rrat says "seven hundred persons, representa-
tives from every district of Kentucky, were pre-
sent"

e6T Judge James Campbell who, the Padu-
cah Herald says, was unquestionably the leader
of the Opposition In the First Congressional
District in Kentucky, has come out for Douglas.

| such volcano, could clamor for dissolution
of the Federative Union, which is their only
shield against fatal explosion.
The perils have indicated are but few
Of the many which surround the South in
the event of dsunion, if disunion were pos
sible 1t would be an insult to our southern
brethren, to suppose them ignorant of these
things, and hence we may rest perfectly as
sured they are merely playing off for effect
on the credulous and the timid. They may
talk loud, show bold front, and even walk
to the very edge of the precipice, as South
Carolina did in Jackson's day, but like her,
too, they will never take the leap.
The most superficial observer will not fail
to perceive that the South is rapidly tending
to the lowest depths of political degradation.
What patriot heart would have deemed it
possible that within the first century of our
national existence, men high in position and
influence would seriously propose to call in
the aid Of foreign bayonets to settle our do
mestic affairs? This apparent impossibility
has come to pass. The Charleston Mercury,
the mouthpiece of South Carolina, and the
Richmond Enquirer, the political Bible of
Virginia, have both gravely suggested the
propriety of invoking the aid of Louis Napo-
leon!-yes, of all the men on earth, Louis
Napoleon, man who attained his present
position by rare acts of treachery and blood,
who now holds his power only by legally
strangling public opinion, by gagging alike
both speech and the press, and who is now
crouched, and waits but the favorable mo-
ment to spring, and sweep his political hand
acI Ioss the map of Europe erase the national
landmarks, and label all anew, as "France."
After all, there are some striking affinities
between Louis Napoleon and the rulers Of
the South. If freedom of speech and the
press is denied to the people of France it is
equally fettered in the South, both by tyran-
ncal laws, and by the tyranny of the mob.
Suppose Napoleon's aid invoked and grant
ed, and rupture of our Union made, what
then? Why, from that day, the country
lying south of Mason and Dixon's line would
tants Napoleon's vAssALs. Let them mani
fest impatience under his rod, and an army
of black Zouayes would be sent to tame the
rising spirit ....... ... .f...,t.... -.....
The mere mention of calling in foreign
aid is proof conclusive that the Disunionists
do not believe one word of their own threats.
They know their true political position, they
are shrewd men, often too shrewd for us of
the North. Heretofore they have threatened
with so much earnestness and apparent sin.
cerity, that we were deceived, and very in
nocently thought the Union in danger All
a mistake. Self-preservation is one of the
most powerful agents in controlling the ac-
tions of men. This agent will exert its le-
gitimate influence in slaveholding states, as
we'll as elsewhere, and THAT will forever pre-
serve the integrity of our glorious Union.

Dream-Life,

Listen, friend, and will tell you .r-
why sometimes feel so glad,
Then, without reason, changing,
~Soon become so grave and sad.
Halfmy life live beggar,
Ragged, helpless, and alone;
But the other half a monarch,
With my courtiers round my throne.
Half my life is full Of sorrow,
Half of joy, still fresh and new;
One Of these lives is fancy,
But the other one is true.
While live and feast on gladness,
Still 1 feel the thought remain:
This must soon end-nsarer, nearer
Comes the life Of grief and pain.
While live wretched beggar,
One bright hope my lot can cheer;
Soon thou shalt have all thy kingdom,
The bright hour is drawing near.
So you see my life is two fold, ..
Half pleasure half grief,
Thus all JOY is somewhat tempered,
And all sorrow finds relief.
Which, you ask me, is the real life!
Which, the Dream, the joy or woe!
Hush, friend it is little matter,
And, indeed, never know.
