Visit to Mr. Buchanan.
Lancaster, Pa., June 9
He Enjertes the Platform.—The Key-
stone Club, with Beck's Brass Band, of
Philadelphia, arrived here yesterday, and
this morning visited Wheatland, escorted
by several hundred citizens. The President
of the club was introduced to Mr. Buchan-
an, and congratulated him as the nation's
choice. The work was begun, and they
intended to carry it on till success crowned
their efforts.
Mr. Buchanan replied as follows:
Gentlemen of the Keystone Club, I give
you a most hearty and warm welcome to
my abode. I congratulate you, not upon
my nomination, but upon the glorious privi-
lege of being a citizen of our great Repub-
lic. Your superiority over the people of
other countries has been fully demonstrated
bv the conduct of the vast concourse assem-
bled during the past week at Cincinnati.
Upon any similar occasion in Europe the
voluntary expression of the people would
have been drowned in martial music, and
their action controlled by an army with
banners. How unlike the spectacle at-Cin-
cinnati, where the delegates from the differ-
ent States met in Convention, and under
the protection of the Constitution and the
laws, harmoniously deliberated upon a- sub-
ject of vital importance to the country.
Gentlemen, two weeks since, I should
have made you a long speech, but now that
I have been placed upon -a platform, of
which I most heartily approve, and being
the representative of the great Democratic
party, and not simply James Buchanan, I
must square my conduct according to that
platform, and insert no new plank, nor
take one from it That platform is suffi-
ciently broad and national for the whole
Democratic party. This glorious party,
now more than ever, has demonstrated that
it is the true conservative party of the
Constitution and of the Union.
After a personal introduction to the
members of the Club, and partaking of
refreshments, the visitors were escorted to
some distance from Wheatland by Mr.
Buchanan, when a friendly parting took
place.
The Hotel harvest at Cincinnati.—-The
Rochester Union, speaking of the extensive
charges of the Burnet House during the
late convention, instances some cases:
"We hear of gentlemen being charged
$5 a day for board—though even at that
price they could not get single rooms. Bills
\v?re made out in gross—and the sums were
Stated in round numbers. One of the dele-
gates from New England paid some §250
fir a single room for their conferences.
The Hard delegates paid $450 for theirs.
And the Softs paid $805 for room rent
alone! In one of the two rooms occupied
by the latfer were several beds in which
the delegates slept. But their board was
probably the same as if their room rent was
not already paúl. Other delegations had
corresponding bills to settle; but we doubt
whether any other State suffered so much
as New York."
Tired of Freedom. — The Clavksville
ÍTenn.) Chronicle, of the 6lh inst., has the
following:
Mr. John S. Hart, of this city, received,
a few days ago, his- negro man Joe, who
ran away nearly two years ago. He was
apprehended in Indiana, a few miles from
Henderson, Kentucky, to which place he
was taken and lodged in jail. Joe says he
has been all over "freedom" and Canada,
but being a free nigger ain't the thing it is
supposed, by most colored individuals to be.
He says he became entirely disgusted with
everything north of Mason and Dixon, and
was on his way back to his master when
he was taken up. Joe is a mighty smart
nigger.
Honesty and Trust.—The following plea-
sant anecdote is from " Glances and Glirr.p
ees," a new book by Dr. Harriet K. Hunt,
who was once a teacher in Boston :
A cousin of mine in Charleston having
passed away, it became proper that I should
attend her funeral. It was school afternoon.
I did not dismiss the scholars and, as (hey
dislike a monitor, I bit upon the following
plan of leaving them : I placed in the chair
the large old fashioned slate, (it had been
my father's,) wrote on it the names cf the
scholars in the order in which they sat, and
arranged the needlework and reading, (for
I always had some in'.eristing work read
aloud by some elder pupil every afternoon,)
and then said, " Now, my children, when
the clock strikes five leave your seats orderly,
go to my chair, and place on the slate by
each of your uames a unit for good behavior
and a cross for bad. When I return I ehall
anxiously look at the slate, and in the morn-
ing, when you are assembled, I will read
the list, bnt I trust in you !
On my return 1 visited the school-room,
and found but one cross on the slate, and
that where I least expected to find it, ap-
pended to the name of a beautiful, open,
bright, brave child, who then promised
much for the world, the fact of having rich
parents being her greatest drawback. She
was tiic last child in the school I should
have thought capable of any misconduct.
Well, the next morning came; the list was
read; it proved truthful; but when I came
toathis name, I said, " My dear child, you
must explain. Why is this ? What did
you do?" Looking up to me with those
soulful eyes, and speaking with a soulful
tone, which ever made her an object of sa-
cred interest, she replied : "I laughed
aloud ; I laughed more than once ; I could'nt
help it, because a slate was keepiu
school!''
The Phrenological journal says that the
most healthful position to sleep is with the
head on a line with the body, allowing the
throat and lungs the fullest play.

statement shows a circulation of $3,877,-
837 ; deposits, $16,120,483 ; specie, §3,-

The Liver Pills.
The Liver Pills of Dr. M?Lar.e were first
used by him exclusively in his own practice. So
efficacious were they in all cases'of liver com-
p'aint. that they¡ became famous, and attracting
the attention of the medical faculty, passed into
geneal usa. They act with great certainty and
regularity : the patient almost immediately feels
the dispersion of bis disease, and is gradually
restored to health. \frith some, the effect
almost miraculous, frequently experiencing imme-
diate relief, after having ior months resorted to
drugs and medicines of another description in vain.
Diseases of the liver are very common in this
countiy, and are often frightful in character.
Those who experience any of the premonitory
symptoms of this dangerous and complicated
disease, should at once procure a box oí Dr. M'
Lane's Pills, and, perhaps, thereby be saved a
world of misery.
Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.
McLaue's Celebrated LIVER PILLS, manufac-
tured by Fleming Bros., Pittsburg, Pa. There
are other pills purporting to be Liver Pills, now
before the public. Dr. McLane's genuine Liver
Pills, also his celebra'ed Vermifuge, can now be
had at all respectable drug stores, None genuine

iireat importance of a remedy which would ef-
fectually destroy the Screw W<-rm in Stock, and
prevent the attack of the Blow Fly, have now the
satisfaction of notifying the citizens of Texa?.
that they have discovered the great remedy, which
they warrant to expelí the Screw Worm, instantly,
on application.
head t1ie evidence below, coming froji disin-
terested citizens of texas.
The following is extracted from a letter receiv-
ed by Louden & Co., from a highly respectable
merchant ol Texas:
Your Cherokee Liniment was used by a farmer
in Grimes county, as a fvbstitute for Calomel, Tur-
pentine. Tobacco Juice, or Fish Oil, and the result
was, it destroyed the Maggots immediately, and
the smell of it proved so offensive to the blow fly
that they would not make a second attack where
the Liniment had been applied to an injury. In
that section, Calomel and other reriledies are en-
tirely superseded, ¿üd much expense saved to stock
raisers.
Wm. II. Eliott, druggist of Houston, Texas,
writes, November 11,1854 : I can and will vouch
for the efficacy of your Cherokee Liniment, from
personal observation, and I unhesitatingly recom-
mend it to all persons engaged in raising or hav-
ing Cattle, Horses, Hogs, Sheep, &c. The appli-
cation is simple, and in no case has it produced
any bad effects. Shake the bottle well before us-
ing, and apply with a feather or brush, sufficient
to saturate the place where the worms are depos-
ited, and they will vacate and fall dead in five
minutes. It is seldom necessary to make inore
than one application.
Extract lrom a letter from the Hon. D. C. Dick-
son, of Grimes countv, Texa«. dated August 21.
1855: Loudon & Co's Cheiokee Liniment is the
great remedy for the destruction of worms or
maggots which trouble the domestic animals of
Texas. The Liniment destroys them effectually
and instantaneously.
You need have no fear of warranting it: it will
certainly do it, and I could send you a large num-
ber of certificates, if necessary, from our best cit-
izens. It gives universal satisfaction as a destroy-
er of those troublesome insects.
Again, Hon. D. C. Dickson writes, October 19,
1855: Your Cherokee Liniment is a desideratum
long needed here for the destruction of the Screw
Worm in Stock, and lays in the shade completely,
Calomel and every other article usually resorted
to.
Extract froiti a letter from M. C. St B. L. Rogers,
Huntsville, Texas, dated December 24,1855 : We
anticipate a heavy sale for your Cherokee Lini-
ment in the ensuing year, 1856, from the fact that
it is now a welt settled fact, that it is the best
remedy yet discovered against the effects of the
blow fly, and the instant removal of the Screw
Worm from Stock, as Will as a great remedy for
all it ha3 been heretofore recommended.
Roger & Heppenstall, Lockhart, Texas, writes,
November 1, 1854 : We have found out the virtue
of your Cherokee Liniment, lor killing worms :
and have sold out what we had, and got another
supply. The worm season is now nearly over:
but we expect that we shall have a large demand
next summer. Your medicines are gaining ground
in the estimation of the people. Many will have
only yours. The Cherokee Liniment is prepared

Bridffewater Mineral Paint.
Kire and Weather Proof.
THE great celebrity this article has obtained
throughout the country—superceding the use
of all other mineral substances wherever it has
been introduced—has caused various parties in-
terested in other mineral paints to sell theirs as
the BRIDGEWATER.
With a view, therefore, to protect the company's
interest, and to prevent Planters and others from
the gross imposition that has been practiced upon
them, it becomes necessary to
caution the public
against purchasing from any other than the under
signed, they being the only Agents the Com.
pan y have ever had in the
. SOUTHERN' STATES.
?,Thé company was organized in 1850,and in 1S51
theairesent Agency was es'ablished in this city;
andfr otn that period to the present there is not a
single instance where the Paint has failed to give jf
the fullést satisfaction.
THE bridgewater pain,
is acknowledege4:by.the thftpsauds whd.iKrve used
it in this and the neighboring States to be unsur-
passed in durability and protection against
sparks, cinders and leaks,
by any lead or metal Paint ever known. To more
effectually guard against imposition, the Agents
deem it expedient to state that the established
price for the1 Bridge water Paint is four cents per
pound—dry, in barrels of 3Ó0 pounds each ; and
as there is no deviation in price, under any cir.
cumstances. it will be readily perceived that the
genuine Bridgewater connot be sold in this mar-
ket at a less price by any other party or parties.
The attention of consumers, and lhe public are
invited to examine the numerous certificate con-
tained in the Agents Circular They are from
gentlemen of undoubted integrity and probity,
well known in this community, who fully estab-
lish the character of the most
bridgewater mineral
as being beyond question, the
economical, durable and protective,
of any substance yet discovered.

rpHE Union Manufacturing Company own the
X exclusive right for the manufacture and sale
of these Gins in the State of Texas. The Gins
have now been in successful operation for two
seasons' in this State, and the Company being
fully satisfied of their immense value to the
Planter, from the very superior manner in which
they clean both Short and Long Stapled Cotton,
have established two permanent Agencies, one in
Eastern and one in Western Texas, where the
Gins, or any part of them, can be obtained at a
moment's notice, and experienced men will be
on hand to set them running, and give their atten-
tion until the Planters are fully acquainted with
their operation.
It is not strange that many evil reports should
be circulated respecting this Gin, when It is ap-
parent that it is destined to take the place of all
others. Those who have given the Gin a fai
trial, are well satisfied tliHt it will make the Lint
worth from one to two cents per ■pound more than
from the Saw Gin, and this verdict has been fully
sustained by the Manufacturer.
The Lyman Mills, at Holyoke, Mass.. one of
the largest Companies in New England, who are
now u-ingSea Island Cotton from this Gin, have
decided that it prepares the staple for the mills
far hi tter than the Roller Oin.
This Gin does not cut, break or nap the staple
It cleans trashy cotton in a very superior man-
ner.
It will notcutor injure the hands that attend it.
Sticks, stones, nails, or any . hard substance
hrown into it with the cotton, will not injure the
Gin.
All ihe Company ask is a thorough and impar-
tial trial of the Gin, which they kn'>w will do as
much cotb n per day as the Saw Gin, and make
it far more valuable.
The following Certificates,selected from a large
number of the same import, will serve to show
the estimation in which this Gin is held by those
who have used it.

Mr. Phillips—Dear Sir: The Gin is doing a-
well as could be expected. The overseer has
packed thirty-one bales, weighiug 500 lbs. each,
Which was ginned in nine days. I am satisfied it
is the best Gin I ever had. as it does not cut the
bolls or any other trash that may be in the cotton.
The leaves pass through whole, and the bolls
come out with the seed, which is a great advan-
tage over the Saw Gin—the Saw Gin cuts tbe
most of them to pieces. I am yours, most trui v,

Mr.Pliillips—Sir: I am running one of your
five foot Steel-Tooth Cylinder Gins, which 1 can
reconitioénd to the cotton planter as being the best
and most durable I ever run. and I think they
will sooii take the place of all Saw Gins. I can
gin between three and four bags per d-iy. averag-
unds each, and make an admirable sam-

Walker Co., Texas, November 21,1855/
This is to certify that I am using one of Park'
hurst's Patent Steel-Tooth Cylinder Gin6, put in
operation by Mr. Phillips, this fall. I am pleased
with the performance of the Gin, believing it to
posstss many advantages over thé Saw Gin. I
believe it makes a much better sample of cotton
running with the same speed of the Saw Gin, and
the planter can save more cotton to the hand whett
he has a Cylinder Gin; the bolls and limbs being
no obstruction to the ginning, neither are they cut
up and thrown in with the lint, but drop through
with the seed. I can gin between three and four
bales per day; in other words, I have ginned six-
teen hundred and fifty-eight pounds in twelve
hours. - Respectfully yours.
