Fanner, of 30th sl»v, after detailing the circumstances attending affair of Mr. Brooks and Mr. Sumner, thus j concludes: la Boston and Worcester, the hot-beds of Abo litionism, public meetings were immediately sitm , mod by the leading agitators, and Parker, Phil .s, and others of the same stamp, were called .ii to “agonize," and they did it in the most tragic style. No theatrical performer of the pre - nt day can heat either of those two gentlemen ... rehearsing the affecting stories contained in Cncle Tom s Cabin," or in uttering “Screeches !i.r freedom. And the plays have been repeated in those two cities nearly every evening since, and also in Worcester, l.owell and other places. The men engaged in this business well under -uiid that it is necessary to “make hay while the -ua shines.” Sumner is rigged out, of course, in ail the graceful and flowing drapery of a saint and * martyr, while Brooks is clothed in the hideous gob of a “border rutlin and assassin.” When the Catholic Seminary, at Charlestown, »as sacked by a mob and then burnt down, these saints and patriots were as nimn as oysters. When :.:e United States Court was assailed in Boston, a id an officer of ihe Government murdered, while i : I forming bis duty, they “aided and abetted,” if iev did not applaud, the perpetrators. When the '■ L. S. Marshal was assaulted in Worcester, and threatened with destruction of his life ; when Senator Toucey was burnt iu’efligy, in Hartford and Haven ; when Governor Wise was personally \ ,-ilted in Washington and compelled bv violence •, desist front addressing a public meeting; when i Senator Douglas was serve*! in the same manner a Chicago; when Minister Wheeler was assaulted in Philadelphia anil robbed by Williamson of his speii' ; when some iweuty Germans and Irish j „ere barbarously murdered and their houses burnt „a election dav in Louisville ; when the Catholic sinister in Ellsworth, Me., was tarred and feath eied, and rode «u a rail; when a Catholic Bishop j :,d ills congregation in Bath, saute State, were iu..bbed while engaged in laying a new church i suer slone: when Sherifl' Jones was recently -!.-? while discharging; his official duties in Kan >>, they had no meetings held, no remonstrances ■. make, no speeches to deliver, no denunciations •. titter, no agonizing*, no “Screeches for Free ou their account. Not a murmur—nothing ; till.' kind. But, on the Contrary, all these things ..cording to their ethics, were either justifiable or perfectly rigid. And now that an opponent has : adopted their own code, and imitated their own sample, by using persoual violence against one of ; their own then in return for the severest studied i Tsonal abuse, heaped to overflowing upon the | •ad of a relative, “without just cause or provoca jsin," a great “tempest in a teapot” is made. j We do not approve of personal violence, in re taliation for “words spoken in debate,” nor for 1 the gratification of political hate ; but we certainly j have little or no sympathy for Mr. Sumner in this I a>e. lie has long been an open and unblushing ; apologist and advocate of violent and forcible re sstance to the laws. Indeed, his speech, to which ; n* is indebted for his caning, is in part devoted to I a justification of the lawless, insurrectionary and hellions doings of tin* “whiskey drinkers and idlers" in Lawrence. That part relating to Mr. liotler, a gentleman soute seventy years of age, of k.nd and conciliatory* deportment, was intention ally, studiously abusive —and that, too, without provocation, and when he was not present to re ply. It was abusive, also, of theJStute of South Caro- . tina. Personal invective and abuse has seemed to be a favorite system of \\ at fare with the Black Re-! publicans in the Senate at this session. The game I was commenced by Wilson, in a personal viliiiica timi of Mr. Toueev and Gov. Shannon. This was fallowed up by Hale in anuthei attack upon Mr. , Toucev and a bitter tirade against the President. ' And tints the business has been continued till Mr. j Stunner, after a long preparation, attempted to out- ; ■la all the others in misrepresentation and abuse of Messrs. Douglas and Butler. Mr. Douglas was present, and replied to ins carefully selected bii igsgate, giving him back as good as he sent, itut Sir. Butler was absent, and having given no I ust cause for such a malignant and labored assault, ! *r for the equally malignant abuse of hi> State, s nephew, a member of the House, was impelled, by ins generous but impulsive feelings, to take the i manor up, and resent, with blows, tlie indignities thus unjustly heaped upon iii> imcle and the Suite he represents. Much may, and much is forgiven fur words personally offensive, when uttered with in deliberation in the heat of debate, ibn noth ing of this character can he urged in vindication f Mr. Sumner. His speech was evidently written ut —penned, elaborated and studied, in retirement in his closet ; and then he was not satisfied with ne ass mb, in which he declared in substance that the old man’s devotion to slavery was like a liber ’ute's to an old harlot, but be turned upon him a -- olid time, and substantially charged, him with lying in every thing he said -with incapacity for telling the truth. His words were : "With regret I come o gain upon the Senator Irorn South Carolina, (Mr. Butler*. There was no -wruv.igunee of the ancieut parliamentary debate. * «■ hi, h he did not repeat ; nor was there am poor »iV*» Jfr<a>oni from truth which he did not male, ■■ with so much of passion, I am glad to add, as to *»e him Irom the suspicion of intentional aberra tion. Bui the Senator touches nothing which in don , : disfigure —with error, sometimes of principle, sometimes of fact. He shows an incapacity of accuracy, whether in stating the Constitution or instating the law, whether m the details of sta shes or the diversions of scholarship. He cannot be his mouth, but out there flies a blunder.” lie then compared Mr. Butler to a “foul mouth ed speaker," who once denounced Franklin. Then suspending his personal attacks, he turned to the State which Mr. Butler represents in part, calling it Republican only in llie name, denouncing its juducl as shameful, and added : "Were the whole history of South Carolina ,tt,d'j t of eemtenc<. from its very beginning, down to the day of tin his' ~f(/n Senator to his present seat on this floor, civilization might lose Ido not say how little ; but surely less than it has already gained by the example of Kansas, m M* valiant struggle against oppression, and in the development of a new science of emigration." He then emitting!' “told the Senator," that Kansas would be welcomed as a live Siate and a ministering angel, “when South t aroluia, in the cloak of darkness which she hugs, ids howling.” This is only a small part of his personalities and his denunciations. Such contumely may do in a bar-room debate or in Ward Beecher’s church— ,n- in an abolition, or other political meeting where the hearers are all of the same sentiments as the speaker—but it is out of place in the Senate of the United States. If members of that body will, however, disregard the proprieties of their station, and descend to low personal abuse of their fellow members - and if, at the same time, they make themselves advocates or defenders of law- !<?■>> violence for the redress of political greivauces or tlie repair of legal wrongs, they must not complain, they hare no right to complain, if they are some dav compelled, like the doc 'r. ; take their own physic." If it is pardon able, or excusable or justifiable, to burn Catholic seminaries; to assault, tar and feather Catholic !• sts: to appoint “ smelling committees’' to iu '.ilt Catholic women ; to mob and murder officers t the United States, while ir the lawtul discharge t their duties; to murder naturalized citizens and burn their dwellings on account of religious and political hate; it such things may be done in Massachusetts, and Kentucky, and be insti lled by the press, in the pulpit, and on the floor of t onCTess. why, with equal propriety, may not a H ick K publican Senator be caned for deliberate, intentional and gross personal abuse ? The above article, as we stated, we copv from a democratic paper in Connecticut. Here follows the remarks of the Nashville Gazette, a Know Nothing paper iu Tennessee, of 24th May. COWAKDI.Y AMD OCTRAGEOI'S AssaCLT. As IVC purpose to express our convictions in strong lan- : s’uagc, we shall first give the telegraph account of the matter: “ Immediately after the Senate ad journed to-day, while Sumner was still in the Sen ate Chamber. Brooks, of South Carolina, entered i and approached Sumner, accusing him of libelling South Carolina and his gray-haired relative, Mr. Butler. He then struck Sumner, and felled hint f the floor, and continued to repeat the blows till Sumner was deprived of the power of speech. Sumner was taken up and carried to his room. It is not ascertained whether the injuries are serious or not."’ We do not, it is true, agree with Mr. Sutnner in hts political opinions; but if this statement repre sents the case correetlv, we hesitate not to pro nounce Brooks a dastardly coward, and bis act a j dark spot in the fair record of the South, prover bial for its honor and manliness. The idea of a man going into the Senate Chamber of the United States, w ith a club in hand, to beat down a Sena t»r as if lie were an outlaw, is a disgrace to the nation which ought to be wiped out by the stroti" arm of the latv, and what is still stronger, the un disguised condemnation of every good citizen. Is the right of speech to be rewarded with the sav age use of a club f Is this what our boasted liber ty has come to in the United States? We have al ways misunderstood the people of the South if they fall to denounce the cowardly conduct’of Brooks. \Ve claim for ourselves the right of speech, and what we claim we freely allow to oth ers, whether born in the East, North, or West W hue we continue to advocate the doctrine of op posing argument by argument, conclusion by con ! , lon ’ V Y® s , llal > most pointedly denounce the man I who would brutally apply the 'club to another fur the exercise of a right for which our fathers fought, , bled and died. ° ’ ! - Moreover, that zeal which would club a tnan tor a strange opinion, comes with bad grace from j a representative of certain politicians in South | Carolina, who will go down to posterity as advo cates of principles as dangerous to the Union as any ever uttered in New England. M e deem what we have said on this subject due alike to manliness, right and the honor of the South. The Gazette will continue to speak out freely on all subjects. Reader, would you have us jdo otherwise ? If so, you will most assuredly be * disappointed in your expectations. Papers, in too many instances, are slaves to party, but we intend ; that the Gazette shall keep far from the servile lin. National Democratic Convention. Cincinnati, dune 1. -There is an intense politi cal excitement prevailing throughout the city to day, and especially at tin* Burnett House, where are the head-quarters of all the delegations to the Democratic Presidential Convention. The friends of Messrs. Pierce and Buchanan are sanguine, and the latter assert that many of the Pierce delegates will only give him a complimentary vote on the lirst ballot. Mr. Douglas’ prospects appear to be improving. Excellent feeling, however, prevails, and all par ties express their entire confidence in the election of the Convention's candidate by an overwhelm ing majority. Vour correspondent never saw more enthusiastic confidence. The National Dem ocratic Committee are here in full strength, en deavoring to harmonize the conflicting delegations from New York and Missouri. The latter submit i ted their claims to the committee, who have given credentials to the National Democratic delegates. 1 ousting the Bentonians. The New Yorkers de cline all interference, and both Hards and Softs arc working on the southern delegations. The outside pressure here for Buchanan is strong, and j scarcely anybody anticipates more than a compli mentary vote for Pierce. The impression is gen j era! that Buchanan will be nominated. SECOND DISI’ATCH. Cincinnati, June *2.—Boats from Kentucky and Ohio towns,-tire arriving here this morning, throng ed with passengers to witness the proceedings of 'l*e Convention. There are supposed to be twenty thousand strangers in the city, and the cars mo mentarily arriving with more’. The Burnett House has two thousand cots m the adjoining warehouse.

The Convention assembles at 12 o’clock. The Buchanan men are vor' confident this morn- I ing that he will be the nominee. The Hards and | Softs have pamphlets circulated urging their res pective claims. third despatch. Cincinnati, June 2.—The Douglas men are iu societ caucus at this moment. There are rumors afloat that he will withdraw. The Massachusetts delegation have organized, with B. F. Butler as chairman. On a test vote the delegation stood : thus: Pierce 17 ; Buchanan it. FOURTH DESPATCH. Cincinnati, June 2 12U' o’clock.—At quarter before 12 o’clock the signal of the tiring of can j non for the opening of the Convention was heard and the delegates commenced assembling in the Hall selected for the deliberations. At 12 o’clock the Convention was called to or der by Hon. K. McLane of Maryland, and Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, nominated Hon. Samuel Meadary, of Ohio, for temporary Chairman, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Hale, ot Massachusetts, called for the read ing of the call of the convention, when the call was read In Mr. English, of Indiana. Here a sudden uproar was heard at the door of the convention, when a large crowd rushed into : the hall, scrambling and fighting amidst the direst j contusion. It was soon discovered that the disor derlies were the Benton delegation from Missouri, who resolved to enter by violence, had knocked 1 down the doorkeeper and rushed iu, headed bv : Ex-Gov. Price. For a few minutes a scene of confusion ensued i that would be impossible to describe—members 1 jumped upon their chairs mnl secured themselves j as though a serious riot was about to take place. ! After a while quiet was restored, and the reading ! ot the call was proceeded with. Mr. McLane, of Maryland stutedf that when the credentials of the Missouri delegates were pre i seated, the committee of arrangements gave tick ets of admission|to the delegation which presented prirno facia evidence of their election, and refused the oth is. New York also appeared with two sets of delegates, but the committee could not de cide which were entitled to seats. Hon. Samuel Medary, on taking the chair, re turned thanks fir the temporary honor. He had i attended every Democratic Convention since the first that nominated Gen. Jackson, and had tin* honor to be a member of that which nominated General Franklin Pierce. He commented on the progress of tin* Democra cy and its extended influence. He believed that the occasional storms on the party were calculated to purify the atmosphere, and that the party was des tined to triumph despite temporary quarrels, lie then introduced the Rev. Mr Nicholson, of Cin ; cinnati, who offered prayer. From F.l Sicuraguemte, May 27. Costa llirati Adairs. I The concurrence of reports from Costa Rica, that the country is actuated by internal commo tions, and that the Presidency of Gen. Mora is in danger of overthrow, induces ns to attach some importance to the statement. Before President Mora left Virgin, he believed himself that his pow er was unpopular at home ; and he did not make himself faster by deserting so iugloriotisly (be ex ; pedition he commenced with such vain and treneh j ant proclamations. F.l Nicaraguemt advised in 1 the beginning that his course would bring down j upon him untold evils; but he disregarded the ad monition, and the result has approved the asser- I tion. Three causes have conspired to bring Gen. Mora in great disrepute at home. The vanity which prompted him to undertake individually the op ptessiou of the present Republican government of Nicaragua, was sufficient to condemn him in the estimation of the world ; but in Post a Rica, , where the people might foolishly shut their eyes to the probability of stu b an undertaking, they could n*'t avoid observing the disastrous chain of cireumstnn'- » that commenced with and have con \ tinned to follow the expedition of invasion. But there is no reason to suppose that the people of Costa Rica approve of the war; and if we are to j credit the advices from that State, it is altogether . probable hostilities were commenced wholly with out the consent and against the wishes of the ma l joritv. We will not assert that the people of Costa x Rica approve of the presence of American soldiers in Nicaragua ; but they did not wish any conflict with them unless a general league of offensive op ’ erations could be formed among the four adjoining e Central American States against this Republic. , I Failing to perfect this combination, they chose to r live in peace and accept what destiny might be held in store for them under the course of progres i sire events that now threaten to disenthral the _ world. But the real and tangible grounds of Gen. Mora’s j recentjunpopularity at home is to be found, first, in ; hi> imprudent attack upon tins State without es- ! fecting the above combination ; second, in having i sacrificed so many victims both by war and eliol- ; era, in an unprovoked outrage upon this Republic ; ; and third, in having introduced t lie cholera into j Costa Rica, where it is creating sad devastation. ! It is also stated that the Republicans, or those ! disconnected with the existing authority in Costa Rica, have originated a revolt in the city of Ala- 1 juela, where the people have always opposed the j servile administration of affairs. Inconsequence j of these untoward circumstances, says our Span- j ish editor, Gen. Mot* is uncertain of his continua tion iii power, or of his own personal security. Thus the false steps of politicians continually ; jeopardise the national welfare and undermine the , stability of peace and progress. With blind te meritv Gen. Mora involved himself in a war with Nicaragua; and to-day the prospect of ruin to j himself and evil to his "country is the prominent j contingency of the times. Gs the three thousand ; men brought with him in his warlike invasion, scarcely twelve hundred survive to tell the story of th"ir defeat and the destruction es their friends. War. with all its horrors, has visited them, and yet tin* chain of disastrous consequences has not "ceased to afflict the survivors. The men are do sorting and the officers resigning—all absolutely disgusted with the improvidence that has plunged the count: v into such a labarynth of misfortune. And still, we may add, the eud is not yet. Rostov, June 2. —Advices received in this city mention that a formidable insurrection had broken ou» against Soloque in the vicinity of Aux Caves. From two to three thousand insurgents were march • on 'Be city. All the males were called out to join the troops in repelling them. It was reported | a! 'Be last moment that the troops had been rc* I pulsed. Great excitement prevailed. BY TELEGRAPH. K. A. ABBOTT, REPORTER, 70 WALL STREET, N. T. Cincinnati Convention. Cincinnati, June 4 —The Committee appointed yesterday to draft resolutions for the consideration of the Convention, reported to-dav. Thev re-af firni the principles of the Baltimore platform of 1852, and condemn Know Nothingism— declare that Congress has no power to control the domes tic institutions of the States—take a decided stand iu favor ot the Kansas-Nebraska act—the compro mises of 1850, including the fugitive slave bill. There is great unanimity and enthusiasm. SECOND DISPATCH.

Cincinnati, June 3. — Mr. Dawson, of Pa., re ported the permanent organization of the Conven tion with Gen. John E. Ward, of Georgia, as Pres ident, one Vice President from each State, with the exception of New York, making thirty-one \ ice Presidents, and the report was unanimously adopted. General Ward made a speech on taking the chair. The committee on Credentials report ed that the credentials from Missouri belonged to the anti-Bentonites. Motions to admit outsiders to the galleries were laid upon the table amid the direst confusion. A recess was then taken until four o’clock in the afternoon, but on the Conven tion re-assembling, Hie proceedings were wholly unimportant. Mr. Buchanan’s friends are confi dent. Congressional. IV vshixotox— Senate. —Mr. Bright being ab sent, Mr. Stewart presided, lie laid before the Senate the message from the President about Central American affairs, already published. A resolution was adopted that when the Senate adjourns on Thursday, it be to the Monday fol lowing. The presiding officer laid before the Senate a letter from Preston S. Brooks to Mr. Bright, in which he disclaims any intention of offending against the privileges of the Senate by his assault on Mr. Sumner, but he says that he felt bound to chas tise him for the insults to his State and to his rela tive, and having sought him in vain elsewhere Lte deemed it proper to inflict that punishment here, the Senate not being in session, he did not think he was committing any breach of privilege. The letter was read and laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Adjourned. House.-— Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, from the select committee ou the assault on Senator Stunner, made a report, concluding as follows : Whereas, the Senate of the United States have transmitted to this House a message complaining that Preston S. Brooks, a Representative from the State of South Carolina, committed upon the per son of Charles Sunnier, a Senator from the State of Massachusetts, while seated at his desk in the Senate Chamber, after the adjournment of tlmi body on the 22d of May last, a violent assault, which disabled him from attending to his duties in the Senate; and declaring that said assault was a breach of the privileges of that body. And whereas, from respect of the privileges of the House, the Senate have further declared that, inasmuch as the said Preston S. Brooks is a mem ber of this House, they cannot arrest him, and, a faetior', cannot try or punish hint for a breach of their privileges ; that they cannot proceed further in the case than to make their complaint to this House; and that, power to arrest, try and punish devolves solely on this body ; and whereas, upon full investigation, it appears to this House that the said Preston S. Brooks has been guilty of the assault complained of by the Semite, with most aggravated circumstances of violence; that the same was a breach of the privileges not only of the United States Senate, but of the Senator as sailed and of this House, as a co-ordinate branch of the Legislative department of the Government in direct violation of the Constitution of ihe Uni ted States, which declares that Senators and Rep resentatives for any speech or debate in either house shall not be questioned in any other place. Whereas, this House is of the opinion that it has the power, and ought to punish the said Preston S. Brooks for the said assault, not only as a breach of the privileges of the Senator assailed, and of the Senate and House as declared by the Constitu tion, but as an net of disorderly behaviour ; and Whereas, it further appears from such investiga tion that Henry A. Edmondson, a Representative from the State of Virginia, and Lawrence M. Keitt, from South Carolina, sometime previous to said assault, were informed that it was the purpose of said Mr. Brooks to commit violence upon the person of said Charles Sumner, for words used by linn in debate as a Senator in the Senate, anil took no measures to discourage or prevent, the same, but, on the contrary, anticipating the com mission of such violation, were present on *>»o or more occasions to witness the same, as friends of the assailant —therefore Resolved, That l’reston S. Brooks be and he is forthwith expelled front this House as a Repre sentative from the State of South Carolina. Resolved, That this House hereby declares ils disapprobation of the said act of Henry A. Ed mmidson and Lawrence M. keitt in regard to said assault. Signed by Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, Mr. Spinner and Mr. Pennington. Hon. Howell Cobb, from the minority of said committee, submitted a minority report arguing that no breach of privilege, under the Constitu tion, had been committed, and the House had no power to go beyond the Constitution in deciding that the breach of privilege had been committed. Both of the reports were laid on the table and ordered to be printed. The House then adjourned. Randolph’s Sarcasm. -One time a voung man attempted to make his acquaintance. He obtained an introduction, and among the first remarks, said : “I passed your house lately, Mr. Randolph." “1 hope you always will!” was the reply. Another one twitted him as to his “want of edu -1 cation.” • “The gentleman himself reminds me,” he re | plied, “of the land about the headwaters of the j Montgomery, which are poor by nature, and fillti j tion entirely ruined them !” BLINDS, DOORS AND SASH GLAZED.

On Sunday last, a large table, covered with a red cloth and surrounded br officers, attracted considerable attention from the Americans -is they walked up and down the collonade of the’row of buildings on the West side of the plaza Pa pers were thrown loose upon the cloth, and even other while the clerks would seize their pens anci write. The people of the country, the simple mar ket women, the beggars on the corners, the leper of the infirmary, all knew whaf it meant, but we the editor of the newspaper, the great factotum of a country town, were completely in the dark as to the import of the red table,” its officers and papers. It was the solemn election of the Republic. The people were exercising their greatest pre rogative of electing the officers that shall rule them for another term of office. In this country the elective franchise extends to every male in habitant of eighteen years, against whom there is no criminal prosecution, and who is not charged with being a dissolute and vicious naan, she voters elect delegates, who assemble in the capitals of the different departments and elect Representa tives, Senators, atid a President. A man must be twenty-three years old to be a delegate, twenty five to be a Representative, and thirty to be Sena tor or President. The election on Saturday last—as most public days in the Republic come on Sunday—was con cluded with the greatest decorum. The candidates for the Presidency were all of the same political faith, the only dispute being between the Demo crats of Leon and those of Grenada. Don Patricio Rivas, the present popular President, was support ed by the people of Grenada, and Gen. Mariano Salizar, a great favorite, by the people of Leon. A few votes have been cast for Don Notdeste Ra mirez, ot Leon. The struggle is between Rivas and Salizar, and it is impossible to determine at present who will be the next President of Nica ragua. The election in Grenada proceeded bv cantons, or wards, each ward of four thousand persons electing one delegate. The people generally took great interest in the result, and the number of votes rati larger than at any election held in Gre nada. To the governments and people abroad this significant fact cannot be avoided that the Repub lic of Nicaragua expresses she will of the people. All its actions emanate from the silent expression, and every movement it has made has been under taken by the concurrence of the great body of the people. To ignore, then, the fact of our absolute independence, is to deny to the inhabitants of Ni caragua the right of self-government. I “It has comk—Fire!”— On one occasion, dur . mg an engagement, Capt. Duncan, commanding tlie living Artillery, Gen. Pillow, in his usual sol emn manner called oet to this officer, ‘Capt. Dun can ; lire—the arisi.s has come !’ Duncan without saying a word, turned to his men, who were stand ing by their guns already shotted and primed and simply called out. “fire!’' The men were slightly surprised at the order, there being no particular object within range, when an old grey-headed Sergeant stepped up with—“Phiz ver honor what shall we lire at?” “ Fire at the crisis” said Dun can ; “didn’t you beer the General sav it had come ?” , COMM EIiCIAL~ ( HARLEaIOX, June — Cotton.

The Empire Mute of the South still ahead in her Improvements. f j’HIIS article wijf compare favora- '•‘^^j****’ I -M bly with any of like character in the known world. I find that by putting it in the form of a Soap it gives it a decided advan jIHIIj tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment, >*.**Bk. or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir tues from being impaired by age or climate, and renders it very convenient for use. Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm less, as it contains u» mercurial or other prepara tion injurious to the patient. This article, there fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers, Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles, Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore Eyes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac., extract scurf and dandruff from the head, therebt preventing premature baldness. It is also one of 1 the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will ! cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract I tar, paint and grease front clothing, and is also a j superior dentritice to Ihe teeth. For shaving soap, it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and ! curing such sores as may be on the face. In the cure of all tlie enumerated diseases, and ; particular old store*, this soap has proved a balm j indeed, by its wonderful healing powers. I can procure certificates innumerable were it ! necessary, but believing that a single cake is oulv ! requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, anil wishing to avoid everything like lumibuggerv, I leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not doubting they will then declare this to be tlie ve plus ultra of the age in the healing art.
