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. A |more competent man than Gov. S. cannot De found. Philo. From (he Washington Union, Sept. 27. 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.

From the Chattanooga Advertiser. 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. Yours respectfully, ‘ Jno. H. Li-hpkix* trom the Journal of Ommerce, Jr., Sept. 27. T , ..

Willard’s, Washington, Sept. 21,1855. 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. j - e . B* ate , 8 been very thoroughly canvassed, 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 trom friends and foes within the last past fortnight 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. Columbia Times.

South Carolina appoints electors by legislature. Rational Intelligencer. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having the name of Farrell, many will buy it in goou faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error when the spurious mixture has wrought ita evil effects.
