Letter trom New York.
New York, Sept. 27th, 1856.
To the Editor of the Constitutionalist:
Some of the best practical politicians here ex
press themselves as confident of carrying New
York for Buchanan. Private information from the
different counties in this State, within the last few
days, is certainly encouraging, if true. At all
e\ ems, the strong—l had almost said the onlv—
stimulus to success here, is in the belief that in
the Presidential election the southern States will
come up as one and undivided. The city of New
York will probably give Buchanan as much as ten
thousand majority. That will be a good start, come
out as they may.
As to Pennsylvania, I have information from a
gentleman, by letter, that there is neither doubt nor
danger in November. This gentleman was born
.and raised in Philadelphia, and for manv years
has been a resident at Washington. He is an old
line Whig, and never bet wrong on a Presidential
election in his life, and he has been a voter for
more than thirty years. He has bet on Buchanan
getting Pennsylvania, is willing to bet, (and he
.don t bet small change) and never has been more
confident. I have great faith in his judgment as I
have in his friendship.
I have also seen a letter from Mr. Buchanan,
who is, in an enlarged sense of the term, one of
best informed men and one of the most thorough
politicians now living. He is entirely sanguine of
. Pennsylvania, and scarcely less so of New Jersey.
I would here take occasion to remark that a man
cannot be a practical statesman, especially in this
country, without first beiug a politician. No man
is competent to the comprehension of the compli
cated political machinery of this confederation,
who has not served a thorough apprenticeship in
Washington city.
The great political card of the day is Mr. Banks’
speech on the steps of the Merchant’s Exchange in
this city on Thursday last. Mr. Webster had
spoken there before him, and Nathaniel is a candi
date for the mantle of Daniel. But “the lion’s
skin hangs loosely on his dwarfish limbs,” and,
dangling round his heels, but renders the wearer
ridiculous. To hear him spasmodically swelling
himself to a world-wide importance, is forcibly to
remind us of the fable of the frog and the ox.
“ No pent up Utica confines his powers. ”
With his wooden-nut-meg proclivities he grasps
the trade of the world m nis span ! The Union is
but a patch on the face of the Globe—the fifteen
southern States dwindle into utter insignificance—
as this full-grown-live-Yankee rummages after the
“ mighty dollar” in the pockets of 700,000,000 of
heathens!
A more specious, dangerous document than Mr.
Hanks’ speech could not be sent forth among an
•excited and fanatical people. Even his facts) not
fixed, but flying, like comets, hare been orna
mented with an appendage furnished from the
huge pretensions of the abolition Speaker of the
House of Representatives. He says, “Os the
#1,6i)0,000,000 produced by agriculture, the fifteen
southern States contribute forty-five per cent,
alone.” In the next breath lie says, “In the
South there is one man down and another man hold
ing him down. In the South there is one portion of
the people doing nothing, and another portion pf
the people helping them to do nothing!”
He omits to notice the fact that cotton, the
great product of southern labor, differs essentially
in its character from eatables raised-by the western
States. He omits to guess at how many live Yan
kees subsist, fatten aud grow rich on the raw pro
duct of cotton. He omits to notice the facts that
when grain and hay and apples and potatoes are
measured and weighed that their value is told—
but that when the cotton bale is weighed, its val
ue has but begun.
As Cobbet said, “Would that the Lords and
ladies of England could be deprived of the labor
and the service of the hewers of wood and drawers
of water for a twelve month!” that they might
be taught to appreciate their services. So I say.
Would that the greedy, meddlesome fanatics of the
North could be deprived of their present relations
to the money-spending, tariff-paying South for a
twelve month, to teach them the value of the
Union!
It has been suggested that Gov. Seymour should
reply to Mr. Banks at the Merchants’ Exchange.

Where the Old Line Whigs of Maryland
are to be found.
At the request of a correspondent, we cheerfully
give place to the following call for an old line
Whig meeting in Somerset county, Maryland, to
be held this evening. Our correspondent says of
the gentlemen whose names are appended to the
call: “They are all well known to me to be old
line Whigs, and with one exception, never voted a
Democratic ticket. The strength of the Whig
vote in this district heretofore has been seventy
eight. This is indicative of what the State will
do in November next: ”
Old Line Whig Meeting.— The undersigned
old line Whigs of Tyaskin District, of Somerset
county, on behalf of themselves and others, old
line Whigs of said District, who deem it their du
ty as citizens, unconnected with any of the exist
ing political parties which have presented candi
dates for the Presidency, to cast their votes for
Buchanan and Breckinridge at the next election,
as the only safe mode of preserving the Constitu
tion and the Union, and the peace and good order
of the country, invite their fellow Whigs and the
public generally to attend a public meeting at
Riall’s store on Saturday, September 27, 1856.

The Facts in the Case.
The Chronicle Sentinel of the 15th Sept., con
tained an article giving the recent vote of Con
fress on the passage of the Army Appropriation
ill, and stating that Knowlton of Me., Sherman
and Oliver of New York, Albright of Ohio, and
Barclay, of Penn., who voted with the Black Re
publicans, were “five of Mr. Buchanan's Demo
cratic supporters.” A friend of ours addressed
Judge Jonn H. Lumpkin, a member of Congress
from Georgia, a note interrogating him as to the
truth of the statement in the Chronicle it Sentinel.
We give the Judge’s reply:
Crutchfield House, )
Chattanooga, Sept. 17,1856. f
Bear Sir: Yours of this date is before me, ask
ing if it is true that Messrs. Knowlton of Maine,
•Sherman and Oliver of New York, Albright of
Ohio, and Barclay of Pennsylvania, are Democra
tic supporters of Mr. Buchanan ? With regard to all
of these gentlemen except Mr. Barclay, the state
ment is not only untrue but notoriously so. Messrs.
Knowlton, Sherman and Albright, were open and
avowed Biack Republicans. Mr. Oliver of New
York, is the Black Republican chairman of the
Committee on Invalid Pensions. Mr. Sherman
was the Black Republican chairman of the Com
mittee sent to Kansas to investigate the facts con
ceded with the election of Gen. Whitfield. Mr.
Barclay of Pennsylvania, was elected to Congress
as a Democrat but has manifested during the past
session Black Republican proclivities; so muen so
that the Democracv of his district have thrown
him overboard, ancf nominated in his stead Hon.
J. L. GiUis, a sound national Democrat.

Advices received by the National Executive
Committee, and by other gentlemen from Penn
svlvania, are of the most cheering and encouraging
character. ho much arc they so, that large wagers
ares >ffe red here that the October elections will re
sult favorablv for Mr. Buchanan.

and it has been satisfactorily ascertained that
Pennsylvania s favorite son still more than holds
his own. Governors Cobb, Johnson and Flovd,
are doing yeoman’s service there. Very much ’de
pends upon the vote of Pennsylvania in November
next; and therefore, it is that the “Republicans”
are moving earth and the other place to carry it.
It is understood that Senator Wilson and Mr. Bur
lingame will enter upon a series of appointments
in Pennsylvania They will be followed by Gov
ernors Floyd and Johnson, as we learn from Mr.
De Grallenned.
"d l * never answer the contract for
the Democracy to lose the Keystone State under
any circumstances, and all the advices received

happily furnish assurance doubly sure that the
herculean efforts of the unholy alliance will be un
successful. Hon. Chas. Jas. Faulkner, chairman
m -i a S l< ?>- 0em ocratic Committee, went over to
Philadelphia to be present at the gathering of the
hosts, and is still somewhere in Pennsylvania.
His colleague Mr. Vail of New Jersey, remains
here continually engaged in the most laborious
service; and in this connection must not be for
fotten, Messrs. De Graffenreid, Winderand Lenox.
ach of these gentlemen is contributing in every
way possible to the great and vital work of the
Democracy and the Union.
Fire.— On Sunday night, about ten o’clock, the
alarm of fire was given and on inquiry we found
the store of Mr. Thomas Frean, temporarily occu
pied by Mr. A. R. Phillips, on Bridge 9treet, cn
yeloped m flames. The fire soon communicated
to the store of Col. R. Anderson and then to the
original depot of the Greenville Columbia rail
road, all of which were consumed."
The losses sustained by Col. Anderson and Mr.
Frean will fall upon Insurance Companies.
Mr. A. R. Phillips’ loss is estimated at S7OO, com
prising bacon and salt.
Mr. A. B. Hendrix’s loss is estimated at about
the same, on bacon stored with Mr. Phillips.

Electoral tickets have been formed in all the
States for Mr. Buchanan ; for Mr. Fillmore in all
except Michigan, lowa, Wisconsin, Maine and New
Hampshire; and Mr. Fremont,in all the non-slave
holding States except Pennsylvania; also in Mary
land, Kentucky, Virginia and Missouri. South
Carolina appoints electors by legislature.

A Difference of Opinion.—At a meeting of the
clergy and laymen at the Bible House, New York,
on Monday, one party wished a day of fast and
prayer to oe appointed, in view of tb. pras.nl as
pect of public affairs. Another portion thought it
ought to be a day- of thanksgiving. Between the
desponding and excessively hopeful view of affairs
nothing at all was done, and the country was left
to save itself by its owu energy, without the “ ben
efit of clergy.”
A Funny Bet, but a Safe one.—A friend of
ours was an eye witness to rather a singular bet,
made in Nashville the other day. A noisy Know
Nothing was bantering the company, and desiring
to “back his judgment” by betting on Fillmore.
For sometime, no one seemed disposed to “take
him up” or to notice him much in any other
way. At last a staunch old Democrat from Ala
bama, hauled out his pocket book, and proposed
ta stake one hundred dollars, that he could name
one county, in his State, that would give Buchan
an a larger majority than any State in the Union
would give to Fillmore. The bet was taken
by the Fillmore man, and Jacksoß was the
county named by the Alabamian. That county
will give about twenty-four hundred majority for
the Democratic ticket, and if any State in the
Union beats it for Fillmore, the Know Nothing
wins.— Atlanta Intelligencer.

I3F" Dailey’s Magical Pain Extractor.—
Inflammation and Pain are as inseparable as Fire
and Heat. Inflammation produces pain, and pain
produces inflammation. Wherever there is un
natural heat, throbbing or redness, no matter
whether it is caused by a fever, a hurt, a sore,
poison, rheumatism, piles, scald, burn or sting,
there is inflammation. A hundred books or a thou
sand sermons cannot alter or change the conclu
sion. To relieve pain, and restore nature, inflam
mation must be subdued. To accomplish this, the
efforts of the physician are always directed. Thou
sands of physicians, and ten thousand of the first
and most sagacious persons who have used DAL
LEY’S MAGICAL PAIN EXTRACTOR, are con
vinced, and admit that its control over inflamma
tion is most wonderful aud immediate, instantly
allaying the pain, neutralizing poison, extracting
morbid secretions, and forcing nature to resume
her course, renewing and healing. No burn, scald,
sore, or ailment is too severe to yield to its sooth
ing and curing influence. Apply it immediately,
and the cure has commenced.

t3F" Lost Voice Restored.—New Bed
ford, August 16.—Mr. S. W. Fowle: Having seen
many certificates published in relation to Dr. Wis
tar’s BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY, I take this
opportunity of offering a word in its favor, which
you are also at liberty to publish. A few months
since, my wife’s lungs became so much affected by
a sudden cold, that she lost her voice, and suffered
severely from pains in the breast. Her situation
caused her friends much alarm. Having heard
your Balsam strongly recommended by those who
had used it, I purchased a bottle of your agent in
this place. She took it according to directions,

yWMd’s Hair Restorative.—Among
all preparations for the Hair that have been intro
duced as infullible, none has ever given the satis
faction or gained the popularity that Prof. Wood’s
HAIR RESTORATIVE now has. His Restora
tive has passed the ordeal of innumerable fashion
able toilets, and the ladies, wherever they bare
tested it, pronounce it a peerless article.
They find, where the Hair is thinned, that it
creates a fresh growth—that it fully restores the
vegetative power of the roots on the denuded
places, and causes the fibres to shoot forth anew—
that it dissolves and removes dandruff, prevents
grayness, restores the Hair to its original color
when grayncss has actually supervened, gives a
rich lustre, imparts the softness and flexibility of
silk to the hair, and keeps it always luxuriant,
healthy and in full vigor.— Evening Mirror.

“GENERAL DEBILITY.”
A DIS EASE concerning which the most er
roneous ideas are existing—a disease that is
regarded and talked about aa being of a peculiar
nature, where physical and mental vigor is de
pressed, and the whole system in a weakened,
enervated, exhausted and ‘worn out condition—a
disease, which, to successfully combat, recourse
must necessarily be had to the so-oolled “strength
ening” or tonic preparations, such as bark, iron,
bismuth, alcoholic liquors, “ strengthening bit
ters” Ac., Ac.-a class of remedies that at least
two-thirds of the females of America have a most
,intimate acquaintance with: and to a good por
tion of whom, these remedies or their effects,
wiU prove the curse and bane of their existence—
a class of remedies that have ruined and broken
down more constitutions than any other class of
remedies in the Materia Medico, and have swept
greater numbers from the face of creation than
either the pestilence or the sword—a class of rem
dies very seldom, if ever, es the slightest utility,
and have no legitimate right to the titles of cura
tive agents, and never should have been allowed '
a place among them—a class of remedies in great
favor with “old women,” quacks, and medical
pretenders, whose brain are perfectly huge with
everything but “ideas.”
These are, I am aware, bold assertions, but thev
are truthe that will obtain a footing in the opinion
of every physician of a well balanced head, if he
will examine the subject in sober thought.
There is no such thing as "debility;” the name
or term means nothing. There is, I will admit, a
state of system where the phvsical and mental
powers are depressed, and when weakness, ener
vation and exhaustion, are most prominent symp
toms, but this is not “debility/’ they are symp
toms of internal or external inflammatory action,
a broken head or shins, a disordered stomach, in
flammation of the bowels, lunge, liver, or some
other disease producing the above mentioned con
dition of system. “Debility,” or that state of sys
tem receiving that name, is the result of inflam
matory action in some one or more organs of the
body, and an action which oppresses the healthv
functions of the rest of the body. There is no
acute disease bat that will preduee more or less
of the symptoms of “debility.” In inflammation of
the bowels is there not physical aud mental de
pression, weakness, enervation, and a total pros
tration of all the powers of the system, and for
this weakness, and this prostration, Ac., shall wo
use iron, bark, Ac. ? No; for we would exasperate
the disease, and produce a still greater debility
than was present before. Instead of these reme
dies, we would make use of positively loitering
remedies, such as hot fomentations, blood letting,
Ac., under judicious use of which the “ debility"’
vanishes. Here is a case of “debility” that is ex
asperated by the use of “ tonics ” and “strength
ening” medicines, and cured by positively lower
ing and depleting remedies. In ulceration of the 1
stomach is there not the same physical and mental
depression and the whole train of symptoms of “de
bility ”? Certainly; and shall we treat the case 1
with the so called tonic preparations ? Yes, if we «
would kill the patient as dead as a herring.
There is no such disease as “debility,” and no I
earthly use for such remedies as iron", bark, bis- '
mutli, “tonic bitters," Ac., Ac., as “strengtheners,” 1
for in nine cases out of ten, yes in nine hundred 1
and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand, instead of
strengthening they will debilitate by exasperating
inflammatory actum, which is the cause, and the 1
only caute, of that state of svstem termed “ de
bility.”
“ Debility” signifies an inflammatory action|in
someone or more parts of the body — it always signi
fies this, and the exhibition of “tonics” is the
height of empyricism and charlatanism, and the
physician who uses them, not only prescribes for
a name and not a condition or body, but tam
pers with not only the health but the life of the pa
tient placed under his care.
The particular object 1 had in view in selecting
the subject of “debility” for this week’s advertise
ment, was to speak of that state or condition of
system among females known and called "gen
eral debility. There are tens ot thousands of
these suffering females scattered throughout the
United States, and I presume more or less of them
are taking regular daily doses of some of the pre
parations of iron, or bark, or tonic "bitters,’’ or
bismuth, or some other of the tonic preparations,
flattering themselves with the false, delusive hope,
that ere long they will be restored to health. But
how truly will they be disappointed, for so long as
they continue to take them they will not only ex
perience no good, but a positive injury, as they
will, sooner or later, discover, by the appearance of
other diseased symtoms, such as palpitation of the
I heart, difficult breathing, Ac., Ac., caused by the
I exhibition of stimulating remedies to organs al
. ready laboring under over-excitcd action.
The disease called "debility,” as 1 hare already
1 stated, always signifies inflammatory action some
where, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
that point of inflammatory action is in the mucus
membrane of the stomach or bowels, and the ex
: hibition of “tonic" preparations instead of bene
fltting always exasperates the disease. The idea of
treating inflammatory action of the mucus mem
brane of the stomach or bowels with such prepar
ations os iron, bismuth, tonic, bitters, Ac.—medi
cines that produce by contact with the coats of the
stomach even in health a great deal of irritation,
is truly most ridiculous.
“But stop,” says a medical fnend, “you are not
making a lair exhibit of the state or condition of
system, in which we exhibit these preparations of
iron, bismuth, Ac.” Yes, lam making an exhibit
of exactly the state and conditions of the system
in which you prescribe these preparations. You
prescribe them for “debility,’’and what is “de
bility?” a condition of system implying always an
inflammatory action in some one or more organs
of the body, or in a very great majority of cases,
that inflammatory action is in the stomach or
bowels, and you nor no other live man can point
to a case of “debility,” but that its origin can be
traced to inflammatory action somewhere us its
cause. Show me a case of “debility,” and I’ll
show you that inflammatory rheumatory action of
either the stomach or bowels, or both are the most
prominent symptoms. “But,” says my friend, “if
there was inflammatory action of the mucus mem
brane of the stomach, pressure over the stomach
would produce pain.” Pshaw! the very worst
cases of inflammation, and even ulceration of the
stomach, cancerous ulceration, may be present,
while, at the same time, not the smallest
amount of animal sensation is present or can be
elicited by pressure over the stomach. This fact
is worthy of note that inflammation and even ul
ceration of the stomach, may exist, and without
the slightest animal sensation being present,
. either by pressures otherwise. The idea that
pain is always present, or can be elicited by pres
sure over au inflamed stomach is an erroneous
one, and the sooner such au idea is got rid of the
better it will he for suffering humanity. How of
ten has the brain been allowed to become diseased
secondarily through diseased digestive organs
- from the simple reason that medical men
■ would pronounce moat positively that there was
no irritation or inflammation of digestive organs,
I simply because pressure by the hand over the dis
i eased organ elicted no pain, and, too, at the very
• time when the poor patient was tottering over the
i brink of the grave, from the surging the blood to
■ the head, producing an apoplectic fulness of the
i blood-vessels of the brain, and from this same ex
tension of irritation from the stomach. How of
ten has the heart become organically diseased,
through this same irritation o? the stomach and
the mischief totally unsuspected, simply beeause
' pressure over the stomach produced no pain. How
' often have tubercles been allowed to form in tbe
; lungs, the same being produced by irritation of
- the stomach, when the diseased condition might
; have been easily remedied, had not the medical
adviser been under the false impressson that pres
sure over a diseased stomach always elicits pain.
Palsy of a limb, from partial pressure of the
brain, disorganization of the brain, insanity and
death, hare again and again taken place from
congestion of the brain, this latter being produced
by irritation or inflammatory action of the stom
ach, while at the same time not the smallest
amount of pain was present, or could be elicited
by pressure over the stomach.
It is the losing sight of this fact that has led to
the usual stimulating mode treatment, not only in
chronic disease of the digestive organs, but all
other chronic diseases, from tbe supposition that
what is not inflammation, must necessarily be
want of tons — a mode of treatment that has hur
ried hundreds and thousands to a premature
grave.
From the foregoing, it is easily discernible that
in the so-called disease “debility, we have an in
flammatory action of the stomach or bowels to
deal with, and the sooner we quit such prepara
tions of “bitters,” bark, iron, bismuth, Ac., Ac.,
and look for help to some preparation that, in
stead of exasperating the disease will produce a
contrary effect, the Better it will be for our pa
tients.
What medicine shall we make use of? Any that
will produce a soothing, curative effect. Such are
the effects of "BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY,”
and I am confident that there is no case of “de
bility,” no matter of how loag standing, but that
will vanish under its influence if tbe directions
are complied with. In fact, if there is any disease

H. O. FARRELL'S ARABIAN
LINIMENT.
TiiiS celebrated medicine, skilfully composed
as it iB of the most healing balsams and pen
etrating oils, can never fail to cure almost every
affliction that could be alleviated by an external
remedy. Its superiority over all other Liniments
is proven by the miraculous cures it performs, and
bv the great and constantly increasing demand.
There has been sold within the past year more
than THREE MILLIONS OF BOTTLES, and there
can bo but few persons found who do not bestow
upon it the highest praise for the rare virtues it
possesses. Nothing, perhaps, since the creation of
the world, has been so successful as an external
remedy for all nervous diseases, as this wonderfcl
curative. When applied, it instantaneously dif
fuses itself through the whole system, soothing the
irritated nerves, allaying the most intense pains
and creating u most delightful sensation. Rea<i
the following remarkable cure, which can be at
tested to by hundreds who were folly acquainted
with the whole circumstance:
CHRONIC ENLARGBMENT OF THE TONSILS.
My daughter, when six months old, was takeu
with a swelling in tha tonsils, which grew largar
and larger, till when six years old she bad great
difficulty in swallowing her food. Every night
watch waa kept, fearing she would suffocate.
The best doctors attended her, but could give no
relief. I took her to the moat eminent doctors in
the East; they said there was no help for her but
to outgrow it With a aad heart I returned borne
with her. when she became so much worse that the
doctors bad to be called in again; they decided
that the tonsils must be cut on, as the onlv means
of giving relief. My wife would not consent to
this, aua she determined to try your Liniment,
which gave relief the very first application, and by
a continued use she entirely recovered. Your Lin
iment is also the best in use for sprains, bruises,
cuts, burns, headache, etc., and it will remove the
most severe pain in a few minutes. It also cured
caked udder in my cow in a few days.
