preferred by Gen. Scott, gave him a distinction
which he had no opportunity to win on the field.
Upon the close of the war, he returned to his prac
tice in Lexington. In 1851 he became a candid
ate for Congress in the Ashland District, so long
represented by Mr. Clay, in which he lived, Jand
was elected over his competitor, Gen. Leslie Combs.
In 1853. he was re-elected over Ex-Governor Letch
er. While a member of the House, he was ap
{minted by the President Minister to Spain, but
declined the service. At the expiration of his sec
ond term, he resumed the practice of his profes
sion.
Mr. Breckecridge's private character (it is be
lieved by the writer) is perfectly untarnished, and
his life without the blemish of the vices which
cleave so much to many ot'our public men. He is
married aud has ah interesting family about hint.
His person is highly prepossessing and will ever
mark him as au honorable, high-toned gentleman.
He has much decision and dignity—is unassuming,
yet of impressive presence ; and however much his
political friends and opponents may differ in the
estimate of his ability, as compared with his great
kinsmen or other statesmen, none will question
that he lias the eharacter and talent that will com
mand respect wherever he is placed.
Franklin Pierce.
A portion of the demonstral ions in Wash
ington City, on Saturday in response to
the nominations at Cincinnati, was the forma
tion of a procession in which several thousand
mingled, to wait on President Pierce, and af
ter a serenade, to congratulate him upon the
triumph of the principles ot his administration,
which the National Democratic Convention,
at Ciucinnatti, had so Yuliy and so unanimous
ly endorsed. Gen P. .*aid
* I congratulate you, my fellow citizens, upon
the occasion which brings you here, and I in
duige the confident hope that the joy with
which you hail the harmonious and unanimous
resu’t of the deliberations at Cincinnati may
be strengthened mud deepened by the ratifying
voice of our countrymen.
It is pleasant to rea ize that, however other
parties may be divided and distracted, there
is nothing with a-; but union of purpose,
and will be nothing but union of action. From
this hour to that when the polls will be open
ed in November all prejudices and personal
animosities among those who should euitivate
mutual regard and afford mutual support will
be laid aside; nay, even preferences, which may
have existed in our ranks are already no long
er remembered. The preferences of the Con
vention is the preference at this crisis ot every
friend who cares more fur the country than
f or himself Devotion to the cause, and an
earnest support of the-standard bearer who are
to lead us through the great struggle, wi:| con
stitute the controling sentiment of the democ
racy, North and South, East and West. We
ure* all, Inm sure, quite sincere in our convic
tions that mot only the prosperity ot the repub
lic, bat the perpetuity ot this blessed Union,
depends essentially upon the vindication and
inaintainance of the principles declared by the
recent Convention. But these principles can
be vindicated and sustained only by concerted
action, and tlrnt can only be secured by organ
ization. lienee, fidelity to this organization
and its usages becomes, like fidelity to princi
ples, a cardinal virtue. Iho latter can only
be manifested and made effectual through the
former.
My friends w 11 have duties to perform in the
eanvass which my position alone wi 1 prevent
me from attempting to fulfill in person. It is
never to be forgotten by me that, in 1852
older aud better (many voices cried “not bet
ter r) soilders than myself, (Mr. Buchanan
and Gen. Gass) —men who had been faithful
and tried leaders through many years of labor
and conflict—were passed by to call me from
the retirement which I had sought, aud to
which I shall return w ithout regret. May I
not add, gentlemen, that if lile be spared, I
shall go back to the State of mv birth with a
consciousness of having adopted no single mea
sure of public policy during tny administration
which 1 did not believe to be demanded by the
best interest of my country, nor one which
does not, to night, command the approbation
of mv judgement and my conscience.
The conduct of those older and better soldi
ers of whom 1 have spoken, and of the younger
but nevertheless better soldier, (Judge Doug
las,) now standing by’ the great, venerated,
and good Cass,) who lor so many
years, has hed, not merely my confidence and
r spect, bat my affection,, will never cease to
i e gratefully remembered by me They were
ail In the field, not merely to encourage and
direct, but actually to lead the columns. Their
energies were not put tortli because the stand
ard was in my hands, but because its bearer
was, in their estimation, for the time being,
tat- impersonation of those sound constitution
al principles which they believed could alone
g vc stability and permauencc to this glorious
labric of our institutions.
It is cheering tokuow that the action of the
late convention places the statesmen and pa
triots, who are leading us now upon a platform
identical, iu scope aud spirit, with that which
I accepted with full conviction of my judge
ment and with every sentiment of my heart,
ami that they are to occupy it with the stand
ard lowered never an inch, so far as the strict
costruction of the constitution and the vindi
ration of the constitutional rights of every por
tion of the Union are concerned.
Much and justly as we admire the patriot
ism, attainments, and private virtues Ot our
sraridard bearers, there will be nothing like
man-worship in this contest. Men become
comparatively insignificant, cxept as instru
ments when great principles and the vast in
terests of a country like ours arc involved
There will be, ou your part, no appeal to un
worthy pas ions, no inflammatory calls for the
second revolution like those which arc occa
sionally reported as coming from men who
have received nothing at the hands of their
government but protection aud political bles
sings, no declaration of the resonance of the
laws of the land, no invocation of th< shedding
of blood by those who had none to -bed when
our countrymen have stood f ‘Ce to face v\i i
foreign foes. But the issue will summon you
to a caltn, earnest struggle -for the Constitu
lion, and, consequently, lor the buiou.
You will bear yourselves like men determin
ed to cling to that sacred instrument as the
onlwsceurity from general wreck, and the on y
refuse from universal ruin. Men who feel and
act with you will cling to it with patriotic wis
dom and steady fortitude, and they will defend
it 1 if need be, with heroic valor ngainstall as
saults from without or from within.
That a singnal triumph awaits you in such
a cause, 1 entertain no doubt
If as I fully behove, our fathers were not
onlv'guided and sustained through the chang
ing scenes aud struggles of the revolution but
were inspired after its dose to dense and ad
opt this Constitution by Ommvotant Power,
we may repose upon a bumble but uuwaver.ng
faith that that Power will not peitrnt the mad
ness of their children to destroy it.
Accept, gentleman, my best wishes, for yon
collectively and.ihdividually, aufl my thanks
for this gratifying call.

WILLIAM MOSELEY, Chairman
James M Cole, Secretary
Mr. Filniorc’s Acceptance.
Hon. A. n. 11. Stuart, to Staunton, Va.,
communicates of the Richmond Whig, the of
ficial announcement to Mr. Fillmore of his
nomination, and his letter of acceptance. The
following is the loiter.
Gentleman. —l have the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of your letter, informing me
that the national Convention of the American
party which-had just closed its*session at Phil
adelphia. has unanimously presented my name
for the Presidency of the United States, and
associated with it that of Andrew Jackson
Donelson for the Yice Presidency. The unex
pected communication met me at Venice on
my return from Italy, and the duplicate mail
ed thirteen days later, was received on mv ar
rival in this city last evening. This must ac
count for my apparent neglect in giving a
more prompt reply.
Lou will pardon me for saying that when
my administration closed in 1853, I consider
ed my politi ca i ];f e as a public man at an end,
and thenceforth I was only anxious to dis
charge my doty as a private citizen Hence
I have taken no active part in politics. But
I have by no means been an indifferent specta
tor of passing events, nor have I hesitated to
express my opinion on all political subjects
when asked, nor to give my vote and private
influence for those men and measures I thought
best calculated to promote the prosperity
a,| d S'lory of our common country. Beyond
this 1 deemed it improper for me to interfere
But this unsolicited and unexpected nomina
tion has imposed upon me anew duty, from
which x cannot shrink; and therefore, approve
iiig. as I do, of the general objects of the par
ty which has honored me with its confidence,
I cheerfully accept its nomination without wai
ting to inquire of its prospects of success or
defeat It is snflhlent for me to know that
by so doing I yield to the wishes of a large
portion of my fellow citizens in-every part of
the Union, who, like myself, are sincerely an
xious to see the administration of our govern
ment restored to that original simplicity and
purity which marked the first years of its exis
tence; and if posible, to quiet that alarming
sectional agitation which, while it delights the
monarchists of Europe, causes every true friend
of our own country to mourn.
Having had the experience of past service
in the administration of the government, I
may be permitted to refer to that as an expo
nent of the future, and to say should the choice
of the Convention be sanctioned by the people
I shall, with the same scrupulous regard for
the rights of every section of the Union, which
then influenced my conduct, endeavor to per
form every duty confided by the Constitution
and laws to the Executive
the proceedings of this Convention have
marked anew era in the history of the conti
try, by bringing anew political organization
into the approaching Presidential canvass, I
take the occasion to re affirm my full confi
dence in the patriotic purposes of that organi
zation, which 1 regard as springing out of a
public necessity, forced upon the country, to
a large extent by unfortunate sectional divi
sions, and dangerous tendency of those divi
sions toward disunion. It alone In mv opinion
of all the political agencies now existing, is
possessed of the power to silence this violent
and disastrous agitation, and to restore har
mony by its own example of moderation and
forbearance. It has a claim, therefore, in my
judgement, upon every earnest friend of the
integrity of the Union.
So estimating this party, both in its present
position and future destiny, I freely adopt its
great leading principles as announced in the
recent declaration of the National Council at
Philadelphia, (a copy of which you were so
kind as to euclose me,) holding them to be
just and liberal to every true interest of the
country, and isely. adapted to the establish
ment and support of an enlightened, safe and
effective American policy, in full accord with
the ideas and the hopes of the fathers of our
Republic.
I expect shortly to sail for America, and,
with the blessings of Divine Providence, hope
soon td tread my native soil; My opportuui
ty of comparing my own country and the condi
tion of its people with those of Europe, has on
ly served to increase my admiration and love
for our own blessed land of liberty, and I shall
return to it without even a desire ever to cross
the Atlantic again.
I beg of you gentlemen, to accept my thanks
for the very flattering manner in which you
have pleased to communicate the results of the
action of that enlightened and patriotic body
of men who composed the late convention and
to be assured that I am, with profound re
spect and esteem, your friend and fellow citi
i zen. • Millard Fillmore.

New York, Sep. 25, 1852.
Gentlemen : A young lady of niy acquaintance had been
for a iong time very much troubled with worms. I advised
her to try Dr. McLane’s Celebrated Vermifuge. She ac
cordingly purchased and took one vial, which caused her to
discharge an unusually large quantity of worms. She was
immediately relieved of all the dreadful symptoms accom
panying this disease, and rapidly recovered her usual health.
The young lady does not wish her name mentioned ; her
residence, however, is 320, Fifth Street, and she refers to

COTTON HAftVESTKR, FOR PICKING
COTTON THE FIELD.
THIS valuable machine, second only to the invention of
the Cotton Gin, is destined to produce a remarkable
change in the method of gathering cotton from the field
It will do the work of from three to five hands in picking
cotton from the stalk, aud is evidently a labor-saving ma
chine. Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks
the cotton clean and free from trash, leaves it in excellent
condition for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing
the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, and from the ra
pidity of its work, will enable the Planter to prepare his
crop for market at an early day, leaving him time for the
improvement of his land, houses, enclosures and general
arrangement of the Plantation.
It is light, weighing about 8 pounds, is susjJcuded by a
strap over the shoulders,and is operated by means of a crank
turned by the hand or fingers. The simplicity of this ma
chine is its leading feature—it is not liable to get out of or
der, and any negro of ordinary capacity, is competent to
use it. One harvester, with proper care, will last a series
of vears.
\Ve are now selling State and County Rights for tlieman
ufacture ami use of the above machine. Any infomation
relative thereto, can be obtained by calling on A. Wildbur,
General agent for Georgia, Florida, North and South Caro
lina, at his office, 111 Bay Street, Savannah, Ga., or at the
stores of the subscriber, 135, Congress Street, Savannah,

this celebraTed’ o watering place
WILL be opened on the first day of June next, by the
undersigned, formerly of the Washington Flail, but
more recently of the Floyd House, in Macon, Ga. In as
suming the management of this New ami Extensive
Establishment, the subscriber will spare no labor or cx
pensc to make it, not only a pleasant resort to those in
search of pleasure and relaxation, but a comfortable home
to the invalid in pnrsnit of health.
The high medicinal properties of the water have been
ascertained by careful scientific analysis, and their superi
or efficacy in the euro of various diseases has been tested
by thousands of persons. Indeed, in the cure of Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarboja, Liver Complaints, Rheumatism.-and near
ly every other disease of a formidable nature, the waters are
probably unsurpassed.
Pamphlets having been published containing a full anal
ysis of the waters,and its remedial virtues, (which persons
can have on application, to the undersigned,) he would
merely say in this notice to the public, COME AND TEST
IT FOR YOURSELVES;
ear The best route for reaching tlic Springs, is to Knox

Prof. O. J. Ts owl—Dear Sir : Unsolicited, IsCnd you this
certificate: After being nearly bald for a long time, and
having tried all the hair restoratives extant, and having no
faith 111 any, I was induced on hearing of yburs, to give if
a trial. 1 placed myself in the hands of a barber, and bad
my head rubbed with a good stiff brush, and the rtstorative
then applied, and well rubbed in, till the scalp was a glow.
This 1 repeated every morning, mid in three Weeks the’
young haie appeared, and grew rapidly from August last,
till the prsent time, and is now thick, black and strong
soft and pleasant to the touch ; whereas, before it Was harsh
ami wiry, what little there-Was of it, and that little Was dis
appearing very rapidly. I still wse your restorative about
twice a week, and shall soon have a good and peifect crop
of hair. Now if 1 had read of these things, and who has
not ? buthave not seen hitherto any ease where any per
son’s hair was really benefited by any of the hair tonics,
Ac., of the day, and if really gives me pleasure to record
the result of my experience. I have recommended your
preparation to others, and it already lias a large and gen
eral sale throughout the Territory. The people here know
its effects,and have confidence in it. The rfipjdy
us, as wholesale agents for the Territory, is nearly exhaust
ed, and daily inquiries are made for it. You deserve credit
for your discovery ; and 1, for one, return yon my thanks
for the benefit it has done me, for 1 certainly had despaired
long ago of ever effecting, any such result,
