E IFrom the Hooking senanoll u ~
Weregret exceedingly that in our
notice a couple of weeks ago, relative
to being swindled out Of some $50 for
advertising by thieving agent, the
name of the 'NeW York Mercury'' was
inserted, instead of the paper whose
name heads this article. The "Mercu-
ny" is perhaps the best Literary journ-
al published, and its Proprietors gen
tlemen of highreputa.ion in every re-
spect, and we should be sorry to do
them injustice; therefore, to set our
selves right with the proprietors of
the Mercury" and the public, We shall
publish the facts Of the swindle, and
lot those concerned answer
In April 1859, the publisher Of the
'New York Weekly A. j. William
son, engaged Andrew Wind, ESQ.,, to
have published in the country papers
of the United States, the first chapters
Of story entitled, "One,Eyed Saul,
at cost Of about $4,000; in good
faith, no doubt, Mr.. Wind. sent tht

swindled out Of $50, the amount ,du

The fNew York Weekly enjoyed th
benefit of that vast amount of,adver

The operation of swindlng th

very nice one, and since we have learn

we exhonerate poor Andrew Winc

is compounded from the most eficctnal anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper, and for the cure Of the
disorders 1t entails. That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised. is known by all
who have given it trial. That It does com
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
| upon this class Of complaints, is indisputabiy
proven by the great multitude OF publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made of
the following diseases Kings Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup-
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Fry
sipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu-
berculous deposits in the lungs, White
Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and
SYphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series Of complaints that arise from impurity
Of tho blood. Minute reports OF individual
cases NAV be found in AYERS AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, and some of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies Ind failed to afford relief.
Those cases arc purposely taken from all sec
tions of the country in order that every reader
may have access to some one who cnn speak to
him of its benefits from personal experience
Scrofua depresses the vital energies, and thui
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu
tons. Hence it tends 10 shorten, and doe'
greatly shorten, the average duration OF human
life. The vast importance OF these considera
tons has led us to spend years in periecting {
remedy which is adequate to its cure. Ihi
we now offer to the public under the name o
AYERS SARsAPARILLA, although it is com
posed Of ingredients, some Of which exceed tn
. best of Sars1pdriHd in alternative power. b,
Its aid You may protect yourself from the suffer
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge on
the foul corruptions that rot and tester in tn
blood; purge out the causes OF disease, am
vigorous health will follow. BY its peculia
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital funC

Popularity Of the President,

In New York. the other night, after
Wendell Phillips had displayed his "un-
conditional loyalty" for an hour in say
ing all he could TO make the president
OF the United States appear mean and
ridiculous, and had ended by expressing
his preference for Butler or Frem mont for
the next president, and Horace Greeley
had followed with the nomination of Mr..
Chase, the crowd that filed Cooper In
stftute responded to both with three
stunning cheers for president Lincoln.
The same thing has since occurred at q
meeting in Boston called by the radical
anti slavery people. 1t is SO every where.
What may occur to change the DRIFT Of
public oprnien in the next ten months,
it is impossible 10 say. But there is NO
mistaking that drift now. If the cleo.
ton should occur to-day, Mr.. Lincolr
would he reelected without any opposi.
ton worth counting. The people hold
him TO be honest in intention and in act,
sound and reliable, and as fast as it il
safe to be. They see that the general
direction of public affairs is about right.
in spite of all mistakes. and they do not
believe anything is to be gained now by
experimenting with changes Of policy.
This is the way the matter now stands
IN the popular mind, and popular opin-
Ion is confirmed rather than shaken by
the efforts Of the uneasy spirits who are
