Now friends we must have money. We
are in down right earnest when we say must.
: We have debts to pay that must be paid, an
we must lock to our patrons for the means.
You can all pay US the two dollars, which
is justly due US tor last years subscription,
at the January Court. if you will. Make it
point, then, when you come to Court. TO
pay the printer before leaving town. We
know the times are hard, but indeed, we
must 1--we. It takes flour, meat, potatoes.
butter other things. to keep printers alive,
and it takes money to buy these things in
Beilefonte. You would feel very badly il
some morning you would see a notice STUCK
up, " Died of want the proprietors and
hands of the Democrat. in consequence OF
the patrons of that paper not paying their
subscriptions" Now friends, don't do it,
don't.

each other in declarations of enmity to the

Spalding has sol two millions of bottles of his
celebrated Prepared Glue and it is estimated that
each bottle saves at least ten dollars werth of
broken furniture, thus making aggregate of
twenty millions of dollars reclaimed from total
loss by this valuable invention. Having made his
Glue household word, he now proposes to do the

H@ Nobody doubts that if any Free States
wers for moment to assume the position
now occupied by South Carolina, she would
instantly be coerced into submission to the
Federal rover. The stigma of treason would
be irreYocably fastened upon her name
But because South Carolina deifes the in-
stitution of slavery, and is ruled by few ar
ristocratic leaders, she is quietly permitted,
if not directly aided. to bid open defiance to
the Federal authority. What would be rank
treason in the mud-stills of the North, it is
treated as justifable spirit in the revolutions
lists of the South. When the people of Kan
sas took the law into their own hands. to
punish the murderers and robbers who in1
tested them, Mr.. Buchanan sent Gen. Har-
ney with five hundred dragons to put down
the rebellion. Bat when the gallant Major
Anderson petitioned him for few more men
to help defend Fort Moultrie against the trail
tors of South Carolina, he stubbornly refused
and has abandoned that brave officer, with a
handful of men to battle single-handed with
the fanatlcal populace of Charleston. 1t is
strange. with these facts before them, that
the patriotic people of this country as one
man rejoice over the near-approaching
change in the National Administration

s- HEADACHE is the favorite sign by which
nature 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 intended
to give notice OF disease which might other wise
escape attention, till too late to be remeded and
its indications should never be neglected. Head
aches may be classified under two names. viz
Symptomatic and Idiophatc: Symptomatic Head
ache is exceedingly common and is the precursor
of great variety of Diseases among which are
Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile dis
eases. In its nervous form it is sympathetic of
diseases of the stomach constituting sick head
ache, of hepathic disease constituting bilious head
ache, OF worms, constipation and other disorders
OF the bowels, as we'll as renal and uterine affec
tions. Diseasas of the heart are very frequently
attended with Headaches An@mia and plethora
are also affections which frequently occasion head
ache Idiopathic Headache is also very common,
being usually distinguished by the name of ner-
uous headache, sometimes coming on suddeLly in
state of apparently sound health and prostrat-
ing at once the mental and physical energies. and
in other instances it comes slowly, heralded by
depression of spirits or acerbity of temper. In
most instances the pain is in the front of the head
over one 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 sure and
safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in q.
few minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating
the dis ase of which Headache is the unerring in
dex. ~

Treason Consumated.

We have not the unexpected news, says
the Daily Nesos, of the capture of Fort Mcul-
trie by the South Carolinisns, aud the rais-
iEg of the Palmetto flag upon that fort, Cas-
tie Pinckney, the CUSTOM House and the
Charleston Post Office. This would seem to
be the climax of the secession movement in
South Carolina. Heretofore nothing has been
done that could be considered directly treas
enable against the Government of the Uni
ted States.
Taking possession Of Government fortress
ses, of the Custom House, and the Post Office
at Charleston, is an overt act of war upon
the Federal authority, and is ther efore trea.
son. The gallant Major Anderson still holds
possession of Fort Sumpter. to which he re-
tired yesterday, and he will doubtless main
tain his position, if he receives aid from the
Government at Washington. His wise de-
sertion of Fort Moultrie made tae conquest
of that defence by the secessionists easy.
Should Mr.. Buchanan fail to reinforce him
promptly, and with such force of numbers as
will render Major Anderson's position i'm
pregnable, he should never be suffered to
cross Mason and Dixon's line in a northern
direction. Let those complicated with trea-
son meet the fate Of traitors. If South Car
olina be SO dear to Buchsnan that the Feds
eral laws cannot be enforced within her ter
ritories, let him Yacate his position, 60 thith-
or, and reside among her rice plantations for
the remainder of his miserable existence.
One universal volcanic outburst of bitter
sc0rn and indignation will come, should An-
derson and his gallant little band be sacria
feed. No name in the long line of history
will stand out in such bold relief upon the
record of insamy as Buchanan's. Has not
Providence imposed him upon US as an espe'
clal curse, at this time?
