Meeting of tlie Old Line Whigs.
\\ ASIIINGTON, Jlllie 22, lS'i'j.
l'iie public call for a meeting of the “Old Line
Wings '—the remnant of the men of other davs,
who followed in (he lead of Henry Clav and Dan
iel Webster, and who, through all the vicissitudes
political competition, had firmly, u ntie cl" tiiujl.j
i ■ .lined their attachment to the" original Wing
party naturally created an unusual degree of in
terest ill the public miud ofilie metropolis. About
the hour of eight last evening many citizens were
accordingly seen wending their wav to Copp’s sa
loon for the purpose of seeing tins band of un
-werving Whigs aud witnessing their deliberations
hi reference to t lie approaching campaign.
1 he ball vii- well filled ; probably one hundred
of the oldest citizens present could be recognized
as having remained almost passive observers in the
political arena of the last three years. The re
mainder were readily identified as active partici
pants iu the conflicts of recent months.
On motion of Richard S. Coxe, Esq., Col. Win.
W. Seaton, ex-Mavor, of Washington, was called
upon to preside. He immediately ascended the
platform, aud after a passiug playful remark in re
gard to certain platforms, thanked the meeting for
die distinction it had conferred upon him ; stated,
emphatically and earnestly, that tins was a meet
ing of Old Li.:* Whin nho had not attorhed tht'in
- to any other politi-u' (.remnization v'hate.nr.
This definition was distinctly set forth and fully
concurred iu by the citizens tirat referred to. The
i hair then reminded the meeting tiiai the services
■f a secretary would be required, when a young
man nominated tor that office a well known mem
hei of the Know Nothing or American party. Due
of our most venerable residents objected on the
ground that neither the nor the r.rnniaer '
..ere legitimate members ot the meeting. After ;
the confusion bad partially übsided, the name of I
Philip R. Fendali, Esq., was announced, but that j
gentleman declined on account of indisposition, j
dr Richard Burgess wa« next named and elected. .
-V resolution w as then handed to the chair, when
several voice:* objected to a reading until it was ;
as ertained whether the mover was a member of i
the Fnion,” or any other association. This un
expected ysteri! of challenging immediately re- ■
nerved ti.e confusion and noise, but was modified ’
Lv the firmness and dignity of the presiding offi '
eer, as well as a declaration from the mover that j
he Lad never attached himself to any other organ |
cation whatever ; that he was an Old Line WL ig 1
all ins hie, and still remained one. The reading • '
~l ihis resolution, however, was waived by con- j *
- in, on a suggestion that a committee of live 1
should be appointed to prepare resolutions, Ac. 1
On that committee the eh.iir appointed Philip
H Fendali, J, Gideon, It. Walaeh, It. S. Coxe aud '
.!. C Kennedy, Esqs.; which being announced, va- '
ri is objections were made, and every variety of
noise resorted to; but when comparative silence i
aa*. restored, the chair ealmlv replied, “ I have la- ’ 1
hen good care to put upon the committee none but :
well known, regular, Old Line Whigs.’’
The committee retired, when another uproar j
prevailed all over the house ; many insisted that I '
their union with the Know Nothing party did not I -
detract from their Whig principles’ nor disqualify | '
them for a participation in their proceedings. I
* nes of “ Hurrah for Fillmore/’ Ac. The chair i
then informed them that he would invite ex-Gov. j •
Jones, of Tennessee, to address them until the 11
committee should return. '
The ex Governor then appeared, but had scarce
ly introduced himself betore he became annoyed
In a variety of questions an.l remarks from the
Know Nothing portion of the hearers. They,
however, soon found him to be o tactician of sutti
< it nt skill and experience to reverse the shafts of
bis youthful asuilauts, causing them to descend
with withering effect upon their own heads.
1 he speaker said his advice to his Whig breth
ren would lie to investigate the vairous parties,
iHe would sooner vote foi the devil than a Black
Republican.) l.*t them advance to that national
party which would embrace the country —tin
•t hje eouidr;/ use every means to place it in the
a-feendaut and when tin* victory is won, return
t * (lieu camp and .isk neither fee nor reward, lit*
h odd enter the coming contest with heart and
soul. He well remembered the noble contests
which the gallant old Whig party had had with
the Democracy but against that party now lie
had not a word to say.
A voice Who killed the Whig party? Anoth
er, front the Know Nothing side—“ Gen. Scott.”
No, sir, exclaimed the orator, the good, gallant
Ncott never killed any one Lott the enemies of It is
country and von will soon lie on that list. He
continued “ You say you are Whigs —but instead
. t remaining on duty, tilling the ranks, depending
on your own Damascus steel for success, you have
departed and for the poor honors and profits of
office, you have organized a new party—par ex
lence the Ama-ieon part;/. ‘ A rose by any other
name would smell as sweet.’ ” Applause, hisses,
groans, Ac. At length the ex-Governnr resumed
his seat.
From every part of the hall, at this moment,
the Know Nothings shouted for Lewis Campbell,
of Ohio—the uproar was tremendous. Hon. Mr.
Campbell ascended the platform, and after a few
moments conversation with the chairman, arose.
He had stepped in as a mere spectator. Had been
an old Whig of the Clay and Webster school, Ac.
When the inquiry was propounded. “Mr. Camp
hell, are you a member of the American party?"
Mr. C. promptly replied, “ I am. I am," —vehe-
mently slapping his left breast. This was follow
ed by long and deafening shouts of applause.
Hurrah for Sam hurrah for Fillmore, from the
Know Nothings—whilst others said—-“then you
have no business there —we are surprised at Mr.
Campbell -tell him to sit down,” Ac., Ac. This
storm continued furiously. Col. Seaton in the
chair, with firm dignity retained his seat—and ap
parently wearied with their own exertions, the ele
ments gradually calmed.
Mr. Campbell was proceeding when the chair
reminded the audience that Hie committee had re
turned. Hens Mr. Campbell gave way.
The chair received the paper and then said I
put it to the onO'd-rs —shall these resolutions he :
lead? Will you he quiet while I read? Cries i
read them—oh yes, read them !
The chairman then said he would not read the j
preamble, it would consume too much time, and
ids sight was had to-night, so he would confine
himself to the gist of the whole matter.
The preamble sets out with a reminder that the
inhabitants of the District of Columbia, the polit
i-a! centre of the Republic, have as deep an in
terest in the welfare ad' the country, as the people
of the States. Ac , and then it is resolved that they
steadfastly adhere to all their old political princi
ples, which are enumerated in general terms— :
that the candidates now nominated by three par
ties are different in principle—and that the Whigs
should continue their organization. Ac. Another
preamble and resolutions areas follows :
Whereas, it is apparent that a portion of the
Whig party, most respectable and influential alike
bv reason of its numbers, intelligence, and politi
es! integrity, t emaiu inflexibly true and steadfastly
attached to the great principles of general con
servatism and national policy which have uniform- .
h guided its past career—principles which have
rendered it a beniticent agency in the political his
tory of the country, and which it is solemnly be
lieved are identified with the perpetuity of the
tree institutions bequeathed to us by the wisdom
of our fathers, a well as with the full development
and preservation of the best interests of the coun
try at large; aud
Whereas, it become- the patriotic duty of all
true NI bigs in tlo prt ent <wiris to put forth every
effort tor the con-rr\alion of these beneficent prin
ciples whose pan is! elimination from the political '
a jeucies of the country i- proved of Ul omen and
disastrous portent by the evils of the limes upon
which we have tallen ; and whereas, for this nin
pose the principles thus vindicated by experience
and every consideration of souud public policy
should «tilt find embodiment with a “local habi
tation aud a inmo*" amid the* factious tendeaeies
of the present time therefore, be it
Rese>!.-ed. By the Whigs of the citv of Wash
ington assembled in counsel with their fellow
Whigs, representatives in Congresss, and ethers
trom the several Slates, that we hereby recom
mend to our Whig friends throughout the coun
try to preserve unimpaired their political identi
ty, anu, so far as possible, their uiStiact political
organization, and if called by the exigencies of
the times to co-operate with another party, to ren
der such co-operation only in the name and char
acter of allies and in obedience to the dictates
ot a wise and conciliatory patriotism, ready and
w attiue at the call of duty to rally around the old
” banner. “in all assaults our surest signal,”
and w hich wv firmly believe will vet gathei to us
standard th.., e who tors season may saem to have
daserud it.
j ; Resolved, That with the view of concerting such
j measures as shall be most likely to preserve unim
! paired the vitality and purity of \\ big principles,
and to prepare the way for a national re-orguniza
tion of the Whig party when the phrenzy of the
hour shall have passed, we do hereby earnestly
i recommend to the Whigs in all the States of the
Union to appoint delegates who shall assemble in
National Convention.to be Uolden in Louisville, as
proposed bv the gallant Whigs of Kentucky, who
nave already named the 4th of July next for that
purpose; but inasmuch as the time thus designa
ted is now too near at hand to admit of general
concert of action and representation in such Con
vention if holdeu on the day specilied, and inas
much as the intervention of some further delay muv
enable the National Whigs only the more clearly
to discern and mark out the path of duty in the
present troublous times, therefore, be it further
Resolved, That we recommend to the Whigs in
the several States, in appointing their delegates to
said Convention, to postpone the time of its meet
ing until the last Wednesday of July next, and
that, we earnestly request the Whigs of all the
Slates to be represented therein, that by mutual
conference they may devise such measures and
adopt such a policy as shall form a national centre
and neucleus around which the Whig party niav
rally.
1 lie then read a few of the resolutions, put the !
question, and all voted affirmatively. A motion
being made for adjournment. Col. Seaton thanked ;
them for their silence during the reading, and then
said the meeting is now adjourned.
The Old Line Whigs then instantly left the ball,
when others called again for Campbell— Campbell,
who remained on the platform.
Mr. Campbell again responded, when in about
three minutes the gas was turned off and all were
left in darkness. The crowd then cried out “City
Hall!” “City Hall!” An hundred or two went
over, and without any preparation, commenced a !
meeting, at which Mr. C. spoke.
Thus 1 have attempted impartially and truthful
ly to depict another of the most exciting scenes
ever witnessed here. In this case, there was rather
better success than at the great Wise meeting, but
not much more satisfaction. This is a deplorable
condition of things in the metropolis of our glo
rious country. Mercprv.
Congressional.
TUIRTr-FOCRTH CONGRESS —FIRST SESSION.
W isHiN(.TO.',Junc2l. —The Senate was not in ,
session to-day.
Hot se. — Mr. Colfax spoke on the subject of the laws f
emanating from the legislature of Congress, brand- j
iug them as a code of oppression aud outrage and !
wrong, which would be disgraceful to the Legisla- j
ture of any Slate as they are to the Goths and j
Vandals who seek to tyrannize over the citizens of ;
that territory.
He argued that some of these statutes enacted j
were in direct contravention of tlie organic law
and Constitution of the United States, especially j
that relative to the freedom of speech.
Mr. Burlingame defended Massachusetts against j
general and specific charges, claiming that in all
i that constitutes true greatness, she is the tirat
.•state, and her present performances superior to I
: her past patriotic recollections. He was sorry to i
| rind at the head of her list of assailants the Presi
dent (,i the United States, who had deliberately
perverted history to eulogize the South at the ex
j |iense of the North, and become the chieftain of
sectionalism. Massachusetts believed with South
Carolina that the fugitive slave law is unconstitn
tional.
Mr. Kelt! a ked Mr. Burlingame for his authori- 1
i t relative to South Carolina.
Mr. Burlingame cited the remarks of the Charles- '
ton Mercw/j, which spoke of the fugitive slave 1
law us uu infringement of one of the most cher- 1
ished principles of the Constitution. In eonclit- 1
sion be referred to Mr. Sumner's speech as puritv j
and nobleness in its sentiments and severity in
its strictures against tyranny . Mr. Sumner never 1
had a personal enemy bis character was as pure j 1
as the snow which falls on bis native hills His i 1
heart overflowing with kindness for every human !
being bearing tlie upright form of mini. He was
an accomplished scholar and chivalnc gentleman, j
A member of ibis House, who had taken ibe oath ! 1
to support the Constitution, stole into the Senate j ‘
aud smote him as Cain smote bis brother. i ,
Mr. Keitt—“lt’s false.” [Sensation j.
Mr. Burlingame replied lliat he would not bandy 1
epithets, but was responsible for bis own lan- j J
guage only, and doubtless the gentleman was re j
sponsible for his. ! '
Mr. Keitt—“l am." j 1
Mr. Burlingame, after describing and severely
• ondemning the assault, asked : “Call you that j '
chivalry—in what code of honor did you get an- j
thorite for that V If we are not to leave freedom ' •
of speech, what is all this government worth ? If j 1
we are to be called to account by some gallant ; 1
nephew of some gallant uncle for something ; ’
which d es not suit their sensitive nerves, we want :J
to know it. If the conflict is to be transferred from 1 c
the peaceful intellectual field, where honors are I 1
equal and easy, we desire to know it. j 1
The time may come when Massachusetts may ! '
withdraw her representatives to her own bosom 1!
-when safety is not to be found for them under i
the Hag of our country but while these represen- j c
tatives are here they will speak wlieu and how j 1
they will, uncaring for consequences. If they are : 1
pressed too long and far they will not shrink from j !
the defence of tin* honor of the Commonwealth of ! ‘
Massachusetts and freedom of speech.
Mr. Keitt sought to obtain tin* iloor, which was j
awarded to Mr. Carlisle, «Im declined to yield ii.
Mr. Keitt gave notice that he .should on Mon
day reply to some points of Mr. Burlingame's 1
speech. ‘ j 1
Mr. Burlingeme, after concluding his speech, |
was privately congratulated by bis friends. j 11
Mr. Carlisle condemned ’.lie Cincinnati reso
lutions, or, as in* said, the (filibustering platform. a
Mr. Fremont would not receive the electoral vole i e
of any district except that represented by Mr. ) “
(•hidings. The contest is between Mr. Fillmore. c
the candidate of the national party, and Mr. Bitch- I "
a nan who is supported by a faction.
Mr. Washburn, of Maine, urged the necessity !
of a union of the opponents of the administration | 1
and those adverse to the extension of slavery in j 1 ‘
the territories. The House then adjourned.
Peace Correspondence*
Some time since the “ Sheffield Foreign Affairs!
Committee,” England, an association organized, j ,
we understand, to promote friendly relations be- .
tween England and other countries, addressed a j
letter to General Cuss upon the existing difficulties (
between the I’nited States and Great Britain. We ,
have received from a private source by the Ameri- ,
ra a copy of Gen. Cass's reply, which was sent to ,
the Committee through our .Minister: ,
Legation or the United States, 1 t
London, 2d June, 18Sfi. ) .
Si,-: Referring to mv letter of the Sfitli of April, t
1 have now the honor to inclose a reply from Gen- |
oral Cass, to the Sheffield Foreign Affairs Com- s
mittee, received by me this morning. ,
I remain, very respectfully, your most obedient
servant, G. M. Dallas. J
“To Wm. Cvpi.es, Esq.”
Washington, May 14, 1806.
Iltntleiu. ii : I have received your letter a short
time since, and I beg you to convey to the Shes- ,
field Foreign‘Affairs Committee my acknowledg
ment for their attention, and still more for the as
surance it furnishes, that there are many persons
in England who deprecate the course of the public
press, in endeavoring to create hostile feelings ;
between that country and this. I am at a loss to
conjecture the motive, though of the fact itself j
there can be no doubt. A desire to preserve ami- I
cable relations with England, so long as it can be j
done consistently with our l ights and honor, is I
the universal sentiment of the people of the Uni
ted States. Ibe two nations can do each other a j
vast deal of good, or a vast deal of injury. God j
gtant that their political intercourse mav he reg- I
elated by a spirit of kindness aud justice, leaving j
their competition to find its employment iu the
pursuits of peaceful inter-communication, and not !
in conflicts of war. Such I know to he the earnest 1
hope of the people of this country, and if met in a 1
corresponding spirit in yours, there will he noth. !
ing to disturb their future tranquility.
1 am, gentlemen, respectfully.
Your obedient servant,
Lewis Cass. !

Foreign Affairs Committee, England."
We have also seen a manuscript copy of a letter i
written by a distinguished member of Parliament '
in which he asserts the true policy of bis govern j
ment to be the retention of Mr. Dallas, and adigni- i
tied silence even though the message dismissing
Mr. Crauiptoii should be offensive. Os course this
policy will find a still stronger justification in the
conciliatory tone taken by Secretary Marcv in bis
notice of dismissal. —hnrnnl of Cowmen r.

I' Arrival of Ex-President Fillmore.
Ex-President Fillmore, who lias been travelling
e through Europe during the past year, and whose
r coming was anxiously looked for by his political
e friends and admirers, arrived about twelve o’clock
n last night, in the Atlantic. The first news of the
s j approach of the steamer was the firing of a gun
I about half-past nine o’clock, and in less than an
t | hour after the report of two others set all doubts
ias to the cause of the firing at rest. It was now
, ; certain that it was the Atlantic, and the various 1
i Know Nothing committees, together with the com
; mittee front the Common Council, proceeded to ■
. i Collins dock, at the foot of Canal street. Here !
they had a brass cannon posted, and as the steam- 1
er came up the* river they greeted her with a salute
of fifty guns. About a thousand persons had as
] sembled on the pier; and although a number of
i police were stationed there, it was impossible to
prevent them from crowding through the gates.
I Long before she was alongside, they sent their
, welcome to Mr. Fillmore in the most enthusiastic
j cheers, and when she was at length moored, it was
i almost impossible to prevent his friends from rush
, ing e/i masse on board the vessel. An attempt was
. j made to keep them in order by a member of one
| of the committees, who mounted a barrel and ad- !
. j dressed them as follows:
! ]
“Come, now, gentlemen, you must keep all
; straight; and so you’ll please form in procession,
five abreast, after the carriages.”
“Ah, nonsense,” cried one of the crowd; “we
want none of your d—d speeches now. We have
got the man wc want, and in the best ship that
ever sailed. Hurrah, boys—hurrah !”
And three cheers more were given. It was now
discovered that Mr. Fillmore’s son was on board,
| when somebody demanded three more for Mr.
j Fillmore, Jr. The demand was complied with;
' three good cheers were given, and several press
ing forward, seized the son by the hand, and, in
their friendship for the father, nearly pulled his
arms out of their sockets. At last the gang plank
was made secure to the vessel’s side, and the Fill
more Reception Committee poured along it like a
torrent, ana in over the sides of the ship, driving
back the astonished passengers. In they went to
the cabin, where Mr. Fillmore was waiting to re
ceivethem. After the usual shaking of hands, Al
derman Briggs addressed him as follows :
Mr. Fillmore—ln the name of New York and
of this nation, l welcome you to your native
j shores. Your countrymen have watched your pil
j grimage through the European Stales with intense
solicitude, fearing that those natural calamities
■ always impending over the living might deprive
j them of your valuable life, and overwhelm your
I country with universal sorrow; and I congratu
: late yourself and kindred that you have passed
{ the dangers of land and sea ; and have returned
in health aud happiness to your native land; and |
above all, I rejoice that you will soon return to
the White House, to remove the vermin, that
i have gathered there during vour unfortunate ab
j settee from the national helm. Our country is blessed
i with alt the climates and productions of nature,
and with free institutions; and the Americans
: should kindle the tires of liberty and union in ev
' cry vale and oil every bill, on your sale return to
again bless us with an administration that will
enforce respect and obedience to our glorious flag -
wherever it waves, and restore unity and tranquili
tv and contentment to the farthest frontiers of our
beloved country.
Mr. Fillmore, in reply, then spoke as follows : j
Mr. Chairman This unexpected and flattering
reception from the city of New \ oi k, aud m v na
tive State, reaches a heart that may not feel other- |
wise than grateful. It is true, Sir, that for more j
than a year 1 have been a laborious traveller In
foreign countries, and although I have wandered j
far, mv heart lias always been with the American
people. (Great applause, i And this. Sir, is the
happiest and proudest day of mv life, to be re
ceived by a city which is known throughout Eu
rope. For, Sir, travel where you will there, and
ask the humblest peasant what town be knows in
the United States, and be will tell you that it is
New York. ( Applause. : lam pioud to own that
I am a native of the State ot' Netv York, and I am
prouder still. Sir, to be able to say, that 1 am an
American citizen. Applause, ami three cheers
were here given for Mr. Fillmore. ) Sir, you have
been pleased to allude to mv former services in
the councils of my country. It does not become
me to speak of them here. They have passed into
history. Much less does it become me to speak of
the future. All I can sav Sir, that mv name, un
solicited on ntv part, and entirely unexpected, lias
been presented by my friends for the suffrages of
the people. If they will see tit again to manifest
their confidence in ntc by elevating me to that !
high position, all 1 can proini-c is a faithful and
impartial administration ot the laws of the conn- I
try to every part of the country. ( Applause.) If
there be those either North or South who desire an
administration for the North as against the South,
or for the South as’against the North, they are
not the men who should give their suffrages to
me. i Most enthusiatie applause and cries of “that's
so.”) For mv own part, I know only my country,
my whole country, and nothing but toy country.
Great applause. But, sir, I am unexpectedly
called upon, on this occasion, to address these few !
remarks, and must conclude by again returning I
my sincere thanks to the Corporation of the eitv !
of New York, which lias done me the unexpected j
honor to welcome me back again. (Applause..
A Voice—“ And tlo* people, too."
The people too—to all I return my thanks.
A voice--It is no Corporation, but the people.
Mr. Van. Riper, on behalf ot tlo* Hoard of Conn- :
oilmen, then welcomed Mr. Fillmore, and eongrnt
uluted him upon his safe return to his native laud, j
to which Mr. F. bowed his grateful acknowledg- '
incuts.
The Committee now look Mr. Fillmore in charge, !
and af’tet two or three tremendous efforts, succeed
ed in getting him over tin* side of tin* steamer, j
down the gang plank, and after that through the
crowd into the carriage on the pier. The carriage
was immediately beset by an eager throng, and by
another gigantic effort the Committee succeeded
in getting it off the pier. The crowd then formed
in a procession of live abreast, and formed an es
cort for the ex-Bresident up to the St. Nicholas,
cheering all the way. lieu they reached the ho
tel. they found another crowd assembled in front,
by which be was literally overwhelmed. Before
he could be rescued from the carriage, half a dozen
stout, burly fellows bad him by the hands and by
the coat, and lor a time there was a strugle be
tween them and the committee a- to which should
have possession of him. By main strength, the
Committee carried him off, and pushing him be
fore them, they gained the door in safety, rushed
up stairs, and closely followed by some two or
three dozen, they suceeded in getting him into «
room, where Mr. Fillmore was saved from his
friends. But the multitude outside became impa
tient, aud were loud in their demands to the Com
mittee to “fetch him out." So he had to come, and
his appearance on the balcony was greeted with a
storm of applause. Somebody called out three
groans for the Black Republicans, and they were
given with a hearty good will. When silence was
restored, Mr. Fillmore spoke as follows:
Fellow Citizens. —I believe 1 shall hardly tres
pass upon the Sabbath, as 1 think it is midnight—
A Voice.- —It is Monday morning.
If I ventured so far as to return you my most
cordial thanks for this very unexpected welcome
back to my native State. (Great applause.) You
cun well conceive that a person coming from along
voyage, weakened by sea sickness and distracted
by the dizziness incident tosuch a scene, can hard
! |v appreciate the enthusiasm of a street full of
people, gathered at midnight for the purpose of
receiving me. (Applause, i I can only say, fellow
I citizens, that during the absence of more than a
i vear 1 have seen much European life. 1 have been j
I enabled to contrast it with that of my ow n conn- j
; trv. 1 have been able to look at the condition of I
i other nations as compared with my own, and 1 can
j sav to you, fellow citizens, that aiter all my wan
j derings mv beail fondly turns to America as the
j home of my birth. (Applause.) But, fellow citi
zens, this is no time for a speech. I merely came
! forward to thank you, aud to sav to you that from
i this time forward I am only of von and with you.
j ( Loud aud continued cheering. )
Mr. Fillmore retired amid enthusiastic cheering,
and took supper with the committees. Thus end
, cd the first night of Mr. Fillmore in the great uu
j tropolis. To-day we understand he will not he
■ disturbed ; but on Tuesday lie is to be conducted
' by the committee of the Common Council to the
Governor’s Room in the (lily Hall, where lie will
receive his friends.
Mr. Buchanan's Prospects.—The New York
herald, a paper violently opposed to Mr. Buchan
an, despairs of his defeat with Fremont and Fill
-1 more iu the field. It asks, in its issue of last Sat
; j urday ;
What chance of an election is there for Fremont
with'Fillmore in the field, subtracting his thou
sands from Ihe ranks which, to be victorious, must
be compact and unbroken? No chance whatever.
. V> hat chance is there for Fillmore with Fremont
' and his partizans arrayed against him? About as
i much chance as for the man iti the moon. Between
: the Know Nothing and the nigger worshipper, the

and undiminished confidence to the cheering fact
that the great Democratic party of the nation is
yet intact. Throughout our whole immense land
its officers are appointed, its regiments are filled
and its banners unfurled. The cause of the coun
try is its cause. The history of the Democratic
party is the history of the United States, 1 lie ex
position and defence of the Constitution. Its tri
umph is the security of national honor and na
tional liberty, and the giving of equal rights to
every man of every section.
We are on the eve of another Presidential con
flict, in which is tube determined, whether we are
tube governed by the principles of the Constitu
tion or by faction. With a tirm reliance upon our
Union, our strength, and our devotion to princi
ples we await the struggle without one doubt or
fear. Prom the North, from the South, from the
East and from the \\ est, we have the cheering in
telligence that all is well—all is ready.
We avail ourselves of this occasion to renew the
expression of our adhesion to the Democratic par

intention he has displayed in protecting tin* rights j
of the South from Abolition encroachments,'and
in defending the public treasury front the appro
priations ot u I sums for internal improvements,
command |the latitude and respect of)the nation'.

strange that a people o eminently successful in
the healing art. and so persevering and daring in
character, should, by actual and untiring experi
ment, discover remedies far Mil-passing in efficacy
all others, for the cure of those diseases incident to
them from their mode of life. The greater part of
their time being .pent in hazardous and bloody
warfare with the different tribes, they were subject
to the most violent attacks of rheumatism, paraly
sis, neuralgic pains, and various inflammatory dis
eases, as also the most ltorid wounds, sprains, tu
mors, bruises, swellings, diseases of the joints, etc.,
etc. All tlies_ i'isui ',O. thi v were so surprisingly

Loot oat for Counterfeits !
The public arc cautioned against another conn
terfeit, which lias lately made ils appearance, called [
W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan- j
gerous of all the counterfeits, because Ins having i
the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good j
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex- j
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error j
when the spurious mixture lias wrought its evil
effects.
The genuine article is manufactured only bv H.
