beauty, and their power—first, that the
people are capable of self-government. I
This is the doctrine of the Kansas-Ne- ■
braska bill. Second, that wo had made
an asylum to which the oppressed of ev-■
cry land might corneas a refuge; that i
hero they might worship as equals at the
altar rf our liberty; that here they
might lift up their hearts to their God
according to the dictates of their con
sciences, and there should bo none to
molest them. Third, that there should
be no aristocracy of birth. 1 have re
garded, and do regard, these as the pc- 1
miliar pride and boast of my country.—
T regard them as tho three grand and
massive pillars upon which the whole
magnificent structure of our government
rests. I will not, by any action of mine, .
deface or mar these pillars.
1 have been often asked if I atn not in
in favor of reorganizing the whig party? j
l answer that, in the present condition ]
of parties and the country, in my judg- ;
ment, such an effort can do no good,
and might do great harm.
I say to you that we have no sound I
material North out of which to reeon- j
struct that party. Look back at the'
past. Every Whig representative from
the North in 184!) voted for the Wilmot j
proviso. But three of them out of
seventy-three voted for the fugitive-slave
law—that law which does but common j
justice to the South, and which is corn
man lei by the constitution itself! Not
one Whig north of Mason and Dixon’s
line voted for the Kansas-Nebraska bill
of 18541 On all these measures, a ma
jority of the northern Democrats voted
with the South. Have we, then, not,
reached that point in the North, presup
posed by Mr. Clay when lie said: “If
the Whig party ever becomes merged
into a contemptible Abolition party, 1
will abandon it in disgust?” and should
not we, his old followers, take his im
plied counsel and his proposed example,
when ho says: “ I will act with that
party, whatever its name may he, that
stands by the constitution and the Union?"
To endeavor now to reorganize tho Whig
party would lie but to divide and distract
the sound national men of the South.
Where have we an ally in the North
outside of the Democratic organization ?
These allies have been true to us in the j
past, With a patriotic devotion to the j
union of the States, and a patriotic re- j
gard to tho constitutional rights of the
South, they have bared their bosoms to
tho rngings of the storm—they have j
stood unmoved while malignity and fa
naticism have poured their fiery torrents
upon them. I take them to my heart as j
political brothers, and wear and cherish
them there.
How stands the Democratic party?—
I have given you the resolution of the
present members of Congress.
Listen to Ohio! Steeped, as she lias
been, in frec-soilism, in State convention
assembled, with the boldness of right,
with the candor of manhood, they do- i
elare, on the Bth day of January last, as ;
follows:
“1. AV.W iri], That slavery (being
the creature of positive law, cannot exist
without it) is n domestic institution, nnd
that, Congress has neither tho power to ;
legislate it into any Territory or State
nor to exclude it therefrom, but to leave !
the people thereof perfectly free to form
and regulate their domestic institutions
in their own way, subject only to the
Constitution of the United States.
“ 2. Knotted, Tiiat the right of the !
people of each particular State and Ter
ritory to establish their own constitution
or form, of government, to choose and
regulate their own domestic institutions
of every kind, and to legislate for them
selves, is a fundamental principle of all
free government; nnd that it is the self
same right to secure which our ancestors
waged the war of the revolution—aright
lying at the very foundation of all our
free institutions, recognized in tho De
claration of Independence, nnd estab
lished by the Constitution of the United
States; and we hereby endorse and re
uljinii this,note disputed principle.”
Contrast this witji the resolves of the
Know-nothing convention at Cincinnati.
Listen to Indiana, as she, too, speaks
in her democratic State convention. She
says:
“ Revived, That wo approvo the
principles of tho compromise measures of
1850, and their application, asimbodied
in the Kansas-Nonraska bill, and will
faithfully maintain them.”
Hear tho Democracy of New York, as
they, too. in convention declare :
“ Revived, That the determination of,
Congress, avowed in the Kansas-Nebras
ka bill, to reject from the national coun
cils the subject of slavery, in the Terri
tories, and to leave the people thereof
free to regulate their domestic institu
tions in their own way, subject only to
the Constitution of tire United States, is
une that accords with the sentiments of
the Democracy of tho State, and with
the traditional course of legislation by
Congress, which, under democratic au
spices. lias gradually, in successive ter
ritorial bills, extended the domain of
popular rights and limited the range of
congressional action; and that we believe
this disposition of the question will re
sult most auspiciously to the pcaceofthe
It uion nud tho cause of good govern
ment.”
All, everywhere, from Maine to Texas, i
speak tho same language, declare tho )
same principles, and rally under the
same (tag ! Is not this party national V
Contrast these resolves with the fact that
the Know-nothing party, but two years
old, lias managed, even in that short
lime, to In l in favor of secrecy against i
secrecy, in favor of test oaths against
test oaths—in gome States for the Catho
lic test, in others against tho Catholic
test—on one side of the Union for the i
twelfth section, on the q&hor side against
the twelfth section; and in their late
convention, at ono time the southern
chivalry holt, at another tho northern
fccc-soilers bolt, nnd toll me if you ran
support such a party, even though Mil
lard Fillmore ik its candidate for the
presidency!
As to the black republican party, it
has now (he Speaker of the House of
Representative". Encouraged by past
successes, it has become insolently bold,
and grasps with an eager hand for the
! reins of government. If it succeeds, if it,
I elects a President, and gets possession
of both Houses of Congress, it will carry
'■ out its infamous circle of measures; the
' repeal of the fugitive-slave law, the abol
ishment of slavery in the District of
Columbia, interdict tho inter-slave trade
between the States, restore the Missouri
restriction, and refuse to admit any more
| slave States 1 Who is it that does not
know the Union would not survive an
hour? Our danger is not from the Pope, ]
not from foreigners, but is from the abo- 1
1 itionists. What, then, is our first sol
emn patriotic duty ? It is that we should
hand together ns ono man. It is that
we should each bring his former predju
dices and lay them down upon the altar j
I of our country—that we should leave the
past to “ bury its own dead,’.’ and look
j to, and fight alone for, the preservation
; of the Constitution and tiic Union !
| I have seen tho democracy come down
from the North and up from the South,
| and, gathering in solid column around
the constitution, declare that the rights
; of the South, the just equality of the
' States, tho capacity of man for self-gov
ernment, are their bonds of brotherhood;
that they will protect that constitution
against all the assaults of all the isms in
the land. While they continue to oc
cupy this pround position I am with
them and of them ! Under Hod, I be
lieve that the democratic is the only po
litical organization with which wc can
beat back this abolition horde from the
Capitol. While I thus believe I shall
continue to act with them; and when the
fight is done, when the victory is achiev
ed, when our gallant, old ship is again
F afloat in the sunshine and upon quiet
l seas, I shall turn round to my democratic (
brethren, nnd, if I have any unadjusted
quarrels, I will settle them then.
And now, fellow-eitizcns, I submit if j
I have not redeemed my pledge, that I
would set myself fairly, fully, frankly
before you. 1 trust that my position
will meet with your approval. If it j
should not, I have only to say that it has
been token after due deliberation—taken
under a solemn sense of duty to you nnd
the country. Sly opinions are my hon
est convictions, and if disapproved, I can
retire from office. I cannot yield those
I convictions. I throw myself upon a
1 generosity and kindness which took me
by tho hand when all obscure and un
known, and lifted me up to a seat in the
Congress of the United States, ami which
when slandered and abused in my last
canvass, during my absence, sustained
!me with an emphatic endorsement. 1
submit it fearlessly, confidently to you,
whether I shall return to my home un
der the frown of your condemnation, or
whether 1 will again be greeted with that
plaudit ever so dear to a public man,
“ Well done, thou good and faithful ser
vant!”
In any event. I am truly yours,

COLUMBIAN GUANO.
IE subscribers would call the attention of '
l the Farmers of Montgomery county to the
above named article, ami invite their attention *
to the analysis of Dr. W. S. Rkf.se, State In- !
selector, as
COLUMBIAN GUANO.
The subscribers are now prepared to furnish !
; Farmers with the above named article in any '
quantities they may require. The Columbian
is a new art icle, of recent discovery and imnnr- !
ration, amt secuis to be just the thing our Farm- '
ers have long wanted. 1
i From the unalysis of Dr. W. L. Rersb, State
Inspector, hereunto annexed, it is found to eon- 1 '
tain largely more of Bone Phosphate of Lime , j
than any other Guano ever discovered. Almost !
j every Farmer is convinced that in order to get
I his land in permanent productive order, phos
phates are absolutely necessary. There can be
no permanency without it.
As it scorns to be impossible to supply the dc
j maud for Bone Dust, Farmers need not, in our
judgment, have the least hesitation in using the
Columbian as a substitute for Bone, as it con
tains nearly double as much phosphoric acid as
the lame, and much cheaper in price, taking the
phosphoric acid as a Uisis. We nsk a very
; careful examination of the analysis of Dr. Reese:

EAR AND EYE.
DEAFNESS, TOTAL OR PARTIAL,
ENTIRELY REMOVED.
DR. AIJSOPHERT begs leave to call the
attention of those suffering under a par
tial or total loss of the sense of nearing, to the
I following facts:
He treats diseases of the middle and internal
ear with medicated douches, such as is prac*
tised in the Infirmaries of Berlin, Liepsic. Brus
i sels, Hamburg, and St. Petersburg; ami lately
by most distinguished London Aurists, with
the most wonderful success ; indeed, it is the
-only method that has been universally suc
cessful.
The best proof of the efficacy of this treat
ment will be a reference to nearly nine hundred
names, residents of the United States, Canada,
New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, who have
been restored to acute hearing, and not a single
solitary case, to our knowledge, did we ftiil to
effect either a partial or total restoration of the
hearing, when our advice and instructions
were carefully adhered to. Many, who could
not hear the report of a pistol at arm’s length,
can now hear a watch heat at the distance of
four feet. In case of rnucus accumulation to
j the Eustncbina tube and tympanum, inflama
! t ionof the mucus membrane, nervous affections,
j diseases of the membrana tympani, called the
•drum,” or, when the disease can fco traced to
{lie effects of fevers or colds, the use of quinine
or mercurial medicines, gathering in tho ears
in childhood, Ac., this treatment stands pre
eminent. When the auditory canal is dry and
scaly, with little or no secretion: when the* deaf
ness is accompanied with noise in the ear, like
falling water, chirping of insects, ringing of
bells, rustling of leaves, continual pulsations,
a discharge of matter, or, when stooping, a
sensation is felt as if a rush of blood to the
head had taken place ; when the hearing is less
acute in dull, cloudy weather, or when a cold
has been taken, this method of treating the
disease is infallible. In deaf and dumb cases,
my experience warrants me in saying tiiat it
the hearing was good at any time, much can
he accomplished. In the deaf and dumb schools
at Leipsic, out of a class of fourteen, I suc
ceeded in restoring four to acute hearing.
Dr. A. begs explicitly to state that in those
’cases lie undertakes, he guarantees a successful
f result—complete restoration of the sense, or
such a marked improvement as will he perfectly
if his remedies are faithfully ap
plied and directions adhered to.
Applicants will please state their age. dura
tion of the disease, if matter Issues from the ex
ternal passage, if there are noises in the ears,
state of general health, and what they suppose
to have been the cause of the deafness. When
the hearing is restored, it is expected that those
in easy circumstances will contribute liberally.
ALL DISEASES OF THE EYE
Successfully treated hy the application of
JIKIHCATKI) VAPORS, &c„ in infallible and
painless treatment for diseases of the EYE,
acute or chronic—cataracts, specks, infiaina
tion, film, and weakness of vision, gradulation
of the lids, ulceration of the lachrymal glands,
Ac. To the astonishing and gratifying effects
of this treatment, the child, the youth, those
of mature age, its well as those far advanced in
life, all bear testimony to the wonderfully ren
ovating, healing and'soothing effects.

PESENTATION TO DR ALSOPHERT.
Quite an agreeable affair came off last night
at the Cooper House. I)r. Alsophert, who has
been practising in this city for the past ten
years, has been eminently successful in treating
diseases of the* Ear and Eve, to such extent a> ,
to entitle him to the name of a public benefac
tor. was presented, by some fifty of his former
patients, with a pair of magnificent SILVER
FITCH ERS, as a slight mark of esteem and |
gratitude to the man who had rendered each
a most valuable service. The Pitchers bear
suitable inscriptions, and aro certainly highly
creditable to the manufacturers, as well as to
the taste and generosity of the donors. E. M.
Meyle, M. D., who was deputed to make the
presentation, expressed the hope that Dr. Also
phert would long he spared to follow in the i
path he had chosen, and where he had met ;
with so much success, and to whom the medi- \
cal profession was so much indebted, not only
for his valuable work on diseases of the ear anil j
eve. but for the many reformations introduced
iu the treatment of these delicate organs. It
is a notorious fact, said Dr M., that the prac
tice of Aural Surgery is as a sealed book to
nine-tenths of the Physicians, and the diffirultr
of those suffering from defects of sight or hear
ing, in obtaining relief, may be imagined. Dr.
Alsophert assuredly deserves the highest praise
both from the professional and unprofessional :
classes of society, for devoting his energies j
and talents to a branch of the healing art,
where both fame and pecuniary reward an* 1
! doled out most scantily. Dr. Mevle’s remarks j
were eloquent and flattering in the extreme:
the more appreciated by all who heard them,
knowing they were well deserved. Dr. Also
phert feelingly and most appropriately re]died :
relating some of his experience since he com
menced practice in the United Slates, and de
picted in graphic and glowing language, the
feelings experienced by those who had been
deaf from infancy, or who bad formerly groiied
in darkness, on their being restored to light
and to the w orld of sounds. The feelings of
the successful Physician are best expressed in
Dr. Alsophert’s own words:
“ The Merchant may feel proud and elated,
when his schemes for amassing wealth have
been successful; Kings may exult w hen their
dominions have been extended ; the Sculptor
may gaze with admiration on the life-like
statue his chisel has created ; the eye of the
Student may brighten, as the treasures*of learn
ing are exjKjsed to hie view, or the great truths
of science daw n upon him : or the Warrior's
heart may bound with exultation, ns his thun
dering squadrons shout the cry of victory, or
when the wreath of laurel encircles his brow :
yet all these emotions cannot exceed the pleas
ure of that hour w hen the. Physician sees his
efforts Cl owned with complete success, w hen he
knows he has been the humble agent in remo
ving the cup of bitterness from the lips of his
fellow man."
In deaf nnd dumb cases, lie said, generally
considered incurable, he hail met w ith the most
flattering success ; and while he confessed that
a majority of such cases were incurable, yet he
considered that the medical profession had
peen shamefully remiss towards this class of
i unfortunates. He asserted, and was ready to
j prove by overwhelming testimony, that every
| case of deafness be cured, except where
| such arises from malformation.
The Doctor has liecn the recipient of many
similar tokens—one from Royalty itself—in the ,
shape of a magnificent CLUSTER PIN, from
the late Queen Adelaide, consort of King Wil
liam the Fourth—his success in this instance I
only being partial; otherwise Knighthood j
might have been conferred. Dr. A s Diarv I
must bean interesting one, embracing mnnv I
years of Hospital practice, and extending over 1
a period of thirty years. We trust he will find
time to publish it.

1 In this age of Progress. Medical Science has
’ contributed her lull share to the general welfare
• and that which shines resplendant. the bright
est jewel in her diadem, is her last and grtnfcßt
1 gift, Medicated Vapor Inhalation, in the treat
: ment of CONSUMPTION, BRONCHITIS
ASTHMA, and kindred affections.
All must sec the absurdity of treating Con
■ sumption through the Stomach, bv filling it
1 with nauceous drugs. The disease is not iu
the Stomach, hut in the Lungs, und by inha
■ ling Medicine iu tlio form of Vapor. 1 apply the
: remedy DIRECTLY TO TIIE DISEASED
’ ORGAN; there is therefore no case so hopeless
’ that the Inhalation will not reach. I earnestly
> apjieal to the common sense of all afflicted with
1 Lung diseases, to embrace at once the ad van
tages of Inhalation.
[ j I claim for Inhalation in the treatment of
' , Consumption, Ac., a place amongst the price

1 as the ONLY ARK OF REFUGE for the Con
’ | sumptive I A method, not only RATIONAL
M but SIMPLE, SAFE, and EFFICACIOUS.-!
' I '’“re pleasure in referring to TWO HUNDRED
■ AND SEVEN names, residents of New York
I and neighborhood, who have been restored Vf
■ vigorous health. About one third of the above
number, according to the patient’s ow n state-
I ments, were considered hopeless cases.
The Inhaling method is soothing, safe, and 1
i speedy, and cou.-ists iu the administration of
' medicines in such a manner that they are con
■ veved into the lungs in the form of n vapor
I und produce their action ut the seat of the dia
! ease. Its practical success is destined to revo
lutionise the opinions of the medical World, and
l establish the entire curability of Consumption.
1 ! Applicants will please state if they have ever
1 hied from the lungs, if they have'lost flesh,
-1 have a cough, night sweats and fever turns,

. ' RECOMMENDATION BY PHYSICIANS.
Wc, the undersigned, practitioners in medi
■ , cine, cheerftilly and heartily recommend Dr.
i j Rose’s method of treating diseases of the Lungs
and Throat, as the best and most effectual ever
; introduced into medical practice. Ourconvic
i arc based upon having several of our own
r putients. confirmed consumptives, restored to
vigorous health, after u few months treatment
by I)r. Rose. In the above named diseases,
the application of MEDICATED VAPORS. in
haled directly into the lungs, may be justly
considered as great boon to suffering human
ity, rendering Consumption a perfectly curable
disease.
Dr. Rose deserves the well wishes of the
Profession for his unwearied labors in bringing
the inhaling method to such a degree of per
fection.
