Mr. Buchanan's Withdrawal. Tho Courier des Etats Urns, a French paper, published at New York, of strong Democratic proclivities, advocates the withdrawal of Mr. Buchanan, in favor of Mr. Fillmore, and poses to substitute Mr.

Breckinridge for Major Donelson, as Vico President. It is interesting to read what the late rampant advocates of Mr. Buchanan now say in view of his inevitable defeat, and we therefore copy for the enlightenment and gratification of our readers, a few extracts from the article referred to. The Courier says: "Al the first glance the idea of such an alliance may appear impracticable, and wo have nil along so considered it. But necessity has its hard laws, to which the essential strength of parties consists in knowing how to submit.

We are far from adopting the flattering illusions, which on the heels of the Cincinnati Convention promised Mr. Buchanan an easy and infallible victory. His Dartuuns may still affect confidence and boast that they will certainly have a majority, but in their farUking what turn the campaign Isn't this interesting? Certainly it is, and it is true that Mr. Buchanan's partisans 41 know perfectly well what turn tho campaign is taking!" They know he has not a shadow of a chance for success, and the more sensible and honest portion of them are ready to withdraw him, and adopt Mr. Fillmore, in order to defeat Fremont.

Nor is it unfair on their part I to propose a exchange, if you please, by substituting Mr. Breckinridge for Major Donelson, but it does not follow that the American party will accept the offer. If we know anything of the purpose of the American party in presenting candidates for the people's suffrages, it was to let the people decido for or against these candidates. They were not nom- 1 inated to be withdrawn, and so far as we know or believe, neither of them will be withdrawn. When Mr.

Fillmore wrote his letter of acceptance, he asked not what were his chances of success. It was enough for him to know that the friends of the Union and the opponents of sectionalism claimed his services. He freely gave them the benefit of his name at a time when the politicaljwiseacres of the sUmp of Jones, Pearce, Pratt, Toombs, Jenkins, and others, regarded his nomination as ridiculous, and when the -sham Democrats flattered themselves that Fillmore could not carry a single State I They knew nothing, literally nothing, of the progress of that American reformation which is sweeping over the land, and Bending political hacks to tho tomb of the Capulets. love of the horror of fixed purpose to preserve our free institutions, underlies this movement of the which is hurling thunderbolts of destruction at the rotten politicians of the age These men do not comprehend the causes, and hence they are astounded at the results of this movement From the moment Millard Fillmore was nominated, down to this present writing, we have never, for an instant, doubted his election. His election or his defeat solves the question of the capacity of the people for decides the question whether the people of the United States deserve to enjoy our noble institutions.

If the people of this country are ready now to discard the advice and warnings of George they are willing to hazard the perpetuity of the Union, in a purely geographical contest for they are determined upon a sectional fight for the Presidency, it seems to us they have reached the conclusion, that a free Republic is a political humbug. If this be their conclusion, we think the point settled that they are ready to adopt the sentiment of the poet, who said; ti? let fools contest? That which Is best administered, is best." But to return from this digression. The Courier says, again: absolute majority of to occupy the White House, a candidate should have at least 149 of them. In admitting, then that Mr. Buchanan can count upon the unanimous support of the South must still find at the North votes.

The State ofNew York couldfurnish him that number, but the Slate ofNew York loet to him beyond retUmption. Pennsylvania, without being secure offers him greater chances; but it can give him at most 27 rotes, that will leave him in the absolute majority. But the calculations which attribute such and such other States, than doubtful, and the result is surrendered to all the haxards of a struggle. greater as we extend the investigation. The figures which we give are under the supposition that all the South will give a unanimous vote; but we must inquire whether justified by appearances.

It may be that Kentucky and Maryland are safe for Mr. Fillmore, while Louisiana evidently leans to the same aide. For such loesaa it would be necessary to find compensation in the North, and at this moment it eeetne certain that they win not be found. "We may affirm, consequently, that in the actual state of parties, the Democracy the face of an almoit certain defeat. They cannot eren mend matters by annulling the popular election, and bringing the election of President before the House.

In triangular due's of the kind nobody is sure of the issue nothing is more common than to see one of the parties gain by dirisiros among the others." There are two in the above extracts to which we especially invite the reader's attention the first is the unqualified admission of the Courier that 41 the State of New York is lost to Buchanan without and the other is, that44 the Democracy is in the face of almost certain defeat" These are solemn truths, frankly admitted. We may further observe, that besides Kentucky, Maryland and Louisiana, set down for Mr. Fillmore in the above extract, Tennessee, Florida and Delaware are equally safe for him, whilst the probability is, if it be not morally certain, that the overwhelming defeat of Buchanan in Pennsylvania, on the 14th day of October, will turn over every Southern State to Fillmore The Courier des Ktats Unis, is as candid, however, in its admissions, as it could well be, without going too far and showing that the American paity have no need of the strength which that press proposes to give us, by exchanging Donelson for Breckinridge! Had that press been as open and candid as the probable facts would warrant, it would have demonstrated that Fillmore and Donelson would be elocted, and that the trade which it proposes, would be a sacrifice of Major Donelson without the slightest advantage in return. We have a very high regard for Mr. Breckinridge personally, but we cannot favor any such, or any other sort of a trade, even if it would inako 44 certainly more sure." There is but one contingency in which Messrs.

Fillmore and Donelson could be defeated, and that is, if the friends of Mr. Buchanan in the whole North should cast their votes for Mr. Fremont. We shall notcertainly do them the injustico to suppose that they meditate any such purpose, the contrary, so far as we can learn, they will readily cast their votes for Mr. Fillmore, if the October elections shall demonstrate the fact (as we doubt not they will) that Buchanan is in a hopeless minority in Pennsylvania.

The Courier des Etats Unis concludes an appeal to the Democrats and Fillmore men to enter into the arrangement it proposes by the following arguments, viz: But in the event of the fusion spoken of, matters change, their face. The collective forae of the South is gained at once and certainly, and the united forces of the Democracy and Mr. Fillmore will not only carry Pennsylvania, but New York and New Jersey, and perhaps even some of the New England States every place where the friends of Mr. Fremont now count upon a relative majority, they will be suddenly reduced to a minority, and the triumph which they flatter themselves they can have over their two adversaries, will change into inevitable defeat, from the moment when these latter act as one. "This denouement is too much according to the desires as well as the common interests of the Democrats and the Fillmoreites, not to be purchased at the price of mutual sacrifices.

Without doubt, the space which separates the two parties is great and difficult to overleap. If, however, wo truly look at political matters, we find that the population cf the United States is purely and simply divided into two of the Conservatives, and that of the Revolutionists. The latter recognise as their leader Col. Fremont; the rest of the nation is united in the other, under different names, but with a common idea. It is this idea which now is said to be a question of rendering triumphant by a temporary renunciation of the seoondary interests attached to it.

"We should not, likewise, exaggerate the abnegation and sacrifices which are incumbent on the Democracy in case of fusion. They will abandon, it is their principal candidate, and surrender the first place to the Allies which the force of circumstances impose on them. But such concession would be harder in appearance than in reality. Once in power, Mr. Fillmore would have to carry out all his measures with the concurrence of the Senate, presided over by a Democrat, and having a Democratic majority.

He would even be all the more bound to look there for support, for he could not find it In the House. Thus would be the equilibrium of powers realized under conditions the most practicable and severe. Not only would the Democracy find therein an assured means of power and profit, but the nation would have, at the same time a guaranty of one of the wisest and firmest administrations which has yet presided over its destinies." We have but a brief comment to make upon these last extracts. It is true as a general proposition, laid down by the Courier, that the population of the United States are divided into 44 Conservatives and Revolutionists," but it is not true that Fremont is the leader of all the latter, and that the rest of the nation has 44a common idea." There is a revolutionary spirit in the sham Democratic party, or the Cincinnati platform does not contain their true opinions. The fire-eaters of the South, and the advocates of 44 squatter sovereignty," are revolutionists, equally as much so, as the 44 higher law" men pf the North, and we oppose them all, and denounce their doctrines as alike dangerous to the Union.

A portion of the Democratic party are sound, conservative, and that portion of them are rapidly finding out that Fillmore and Donelson constitute the ticket which it is their interest and duty to sustain. It is true, as the Courier states, that 44 Mr. Fillmore would have to carry out all his measures with the concurrence of the Senate, having a Democratic majority but it is not necessary to the predominance of Democracy in the Senate, that the Vice President should be a Cincinnati-platform that body will not lose its Democratic control of Mr. Fillmore's measures, by the election of Major Donelson. A word as to the closing sentence of the last paragraph above quoted, and we leave the article of the Courier to be considered and dwelt upon, in all its bearings, by the people.

The Courier says, that if the trade it proposes Khali be made, 44 the nation would have a guaranty of one of the wisest and firmest administrations which has yet presided over its destinies." Now, pray inform us, what the Vice President has to do with the administration Mr. Fillmore and his Cabinet would be 44 the administration," and would inaugurate measures for the consideration of Congress, and conduct the executive department of the government I 1 hat it would be 44 one of the wisest and firmest administrations" the country has ever seen is unquestioned. Can it not be all this, without the aid of the Vice President It must be so, or It must be otherwise, without his aid, for the Vice President, as such, has no part or lot in the administration. Substantially, then, we have the opinion of the Courier, that Fillmore will manifest 44 wisdom and firmness" in the high position to which he will be chosen. The opinion is rests upon Porter's of the Times.

This capital paper has reached its fourth number, and has already attained a circulation of 30,000 copies! 8o extraordinary a success is unparalleled in the annals of the press. The Spirit is sold at all our news rooms and has already become a favorite paper with our citizens. Mr. Herbert's story promises to equal any of the Indian novels of Cooper. We seldom read anything of the kind now-a-days, but we must confess that we have been delighted with "Omemees." Herbert, by the way, is one of the most accomplished men in this country.

He is equally at home with Euripides and Hiram and George.Bpicer. As a historian be is hardly inferior to a judge of horseflesh to Sam Sague. A coadjutor so many-sided is invaluable to Colonel Porter, and we anticipate the most brilliant results from the enlistment of this man of all arms In the ranks of the Spirituals. Putnam's October number of Putnam has been received by our This number contains an unusual variety of matter. We are transported from Haroun A1 Rashid to Malta to Massachusetts in England to China.

The critical notices are spirited and instructive, and the 44 World of New York" gives us every month a bird's eye view of the music, the fine arts, the drama, of the great metropolis. The Secretary of the Interior at Home. A Michigan correspondent of the New York Evening Post gives the following information in regard to the movements of Mr. McClelland, who has been absent from his post for the last two months: Secretary McClelland is perambulating the State, making generalizing speeches. The gist of his argument is about Kansas.

What is a little remarkable for him, he screwed up his courage here on the 22d instant, and spoke right out in meeting, denouncing the laws of Kansas in the strongest manner. Such a speech in Kansas would be treason, and in Virginia constructive treason. The Secretary of the Interior does not say a word for Free-soil and the Wilmot scarcely favored any other measure eight years ago, when be spoke in this State and in Wisconsin That question was his hobby then, but circumstances change. The Buchanan Congressional Convention have nominated F. J.

Littlejohn, of Allegan, for Congreys. To show how they dislike the Woollies, I would mention that he voted for Mr. Van Buren in 1848, and run on the fusion ticket for Governor in 1860, in opposition to Governor Bingham, the regular candidate. The truth is gradually developing itself in regard to the real character of Buchanan's Northern supporters. Here we find the Secretary of the Interior, an old Wilmot Provisoist, denouncing the laws of Kansas which the Southern Democrats regard as equal to the Justinian another Free-soil Van Burenite nominated for Congress by the Buchaniers! We presume that Gov.

Johnson and Howell Cobb, of Georgia, when informed of this latter fact, will immediately depart for Michigan, and take the stump for Littlejohn as they have done for Heister, the Free-soil Whig Buchanan candidate for Congress in Buchanan's own district 53?" The Richmond Enquirer of last Thursday has just been examined, for the first time since its reaching us, and we will pay our respects to the young man who conducts its columns on to-morrow. A report has been industriously oirculated by the Democratic press in the South that the Hon. E. D. Cullen, of Delaware, had asserted that should the election for President be thrown into the House of Representatives, he would vote for Fremont, if Mr.

Fillmore failed of an election. The object of this manoeuvre was sufficiently apparent, even if it had not been used to frighten conservative men into voting for the Democratic nominee. The Delaware Republican of yesterday says in relation to it: 41 We are authorised to contradict the statement in the Delaware Gazette, that Mr. Cullen said in this city, or at any other time or place, that, should the election of President devolve on the House of Representatives, he would vote for Fremont if he found that Fillmore could not be elected." The Washington Union announces that John V. L.

McMahon, 41 has heretofore acted with the Whigs, but is now for Buchanan." Mr. McMahon quit the Democratic party in the year 1889, and joined the Whigs in favor of Harrison and Tyler. When General Harrison died, he followed John Tyler back into the ranks of the Democracy, whero he has steadily and consistenly remained ever since. In other words, Mr. McMahon was for a brief period, many years ago, a Whig.

This, however, is rather a late day to announce his return to the Democratic party. The Easton (Talbot county) Gazotte, states that it had been announced the Hon. James A. Pearce would address the Democracy of that county on Tuesday last, but when the day arrived, 44 to the utter chagrin and disappointment of the party," he did not do so. The Gazette adds: "We venture to say Mr.

Pearce will not address the Democracy anywhere during the present canvass. We have strong reasons for doubting whether Mr. Pearce consented to address the people, as was expected, nis name was placarded before the community only for the purpose of drawing together the unterrified but after all the tum-ont was beautiftilly small." Thiv Give it friend of Buchanan residing in Georgetown, has recently returned from the North. He states that before he left home, he was confident that Buchanan would carry New York and Pennsylvania, but he now believes he will lose both, and that in New York he will be the lowest of tbe three candidates. Fillmore is gentleman, writing from Santa Rosa, Florida, under date of 8d instant, says: "This State is certain for Fillmore, and the The Americans of Florida, it is said, have kept up their party efficiency all the while, better than those of any other Southern State.

Hurrah roa San Francisco Town Talk," a neutral paper, says tbat a Fillmore Hub has been organised in that city, numbering over one thousand and five hundred members. Keep the ball rolling. California will repudiate Fremont as she did in 1861. News lroiu Kaisu Tke War Over and Peace Proclaimed. The St Louis Evening Newt, of September 5Wth, has the following important news: We have dates from (he Border of the lttth, the of the last days of the war in Kansas, and ciroumstanoes attending the final treaty of peace at Franklin.

The Missouriaua, true to their word, marched from West port to attack Lawrence, on the 18 th. The army wu composed of one regiment of foot and one of mounted all, 2,400 men, attended by four pieces of artillery. Gen. Heiakell was in command. On the 18th and 14th, the army marched forty miles, reaching Franklin, three miles from Lawrence.

When about lour miles from Franklin, the advance guard was fired on by the picket guard of the Lawrence army, and one man killed. The main body was hurried up as rapidly as possible for the purpose of attacking Lawrence that everting. By the time it reached Franklin, however, it was night, and the contemplated attack was postponed. The army encamped at Franklin, intending to make the assault the next day, the 16th. At midnight, however, an express arrived in camp with information that Colonel Cook, with a large force of United States troops, had taken up a position in front of Lawrence for the purpose of protecting it from the proposed sttack.

CoL Cook communicated notice of his resolution to defend the town, in a note to General Heiakell, warning him of the consequences of an attempt on the place. It is said that Col. Cook had been sent by Gov. Geary, who was urgently solicited by the people of Lawrence to interpose for their protection. On the 16th Gov.

Geary arrived at Franklin, and had a consultation with the officers ol' the invading army. He told them that he was prepared to enforoe the laws, arrest offenders, to crush insurrection and suppress the disorders, with the aid of the troops placed under his command, and that the interposition of the Missourians under General Heiskell was no longer necessary. As an evidence of his ability to enforce the laws, he told them that he had just arrested 90 or 100 outlaws, who would be properly tried by the legal authorities. In view of these facts, the Governor urged the Missourians to disband, and abandon their projected attempt on Lawrence. Gen.

Atchison, Gen. Reid, and Col. Titus, addressed the meeting and urged compliance with the governor's proposal. The governor then withdrew from the conference to afford to'the Missourians an opportunity to act among themselves on his suggestion. A meeting was instantly organizby calling Gen.

Atchison to the chair. Resolutions were passed declaring that, relying on the protection promised to peaceable settlers by the governor, they, the invading army, would disband and return to their the governor to organize and distribute over the Territory a force of militia to protect the settlers from marauders and recommending that Col. Titus be made commander of the militia of the Territory. The Missourians then broke up camp and returned home, except those who intended to settle in the Territory. The ninety or one hundred men arrested by Gov.

Geary, belonged to the company of Colonel Harvey, who made the attack on Captain Robertson, at Point They were captured at Grasshopper Mills, opposite Lecompton, on their return from Hickory Point, to Lawrence. It is said that in tho attempt to arrest them, one United States soldier and fourteen of Harvey's men were killed. Lane is not to be found in the Territory. He left Lawrence on the approach of Gov. Geary with the United States troops, and went Nebraska.

All is quiet in the Territory now. A Note from distinguished member of the American party in Harrisburg, writes to a gentleman in this city, that within a few weeks the ranks of the friends of Fillmore and Donelson have been greatly strengthened by accessions from both the other parties. The whole energies of the anti-Buchanan men are now directed to organizing the State for the October election, and thus secure a triumph of the State and county tickets. It is believed that the Buchanan men will not elect more than three members to the next Congress. The Unioa State ticket will have a majority of 80,000 votes, and the Legislature will be of the same 'complexion.

Forney himself gives up the Stase and his satellites are completely disheartened. Words of Good Cheer from the South. The New Orleans Creole forcibly and justly remarks: Seldom has so decided a miscalculation been made by the political leaders of any party, as that for which the chiefs of the Democracy are now responsible. Supposing the old Whig organization was dead, they published brilliant eulogies over its remains, recounting its manifold virtues, extolling its devotion to the country, and acknowledging its heroic chivalry, dining its long years of struggle for principle. This praise had an object.

To conciliate and win their ancient opponents to the support of the Democracy in this, the day of its peril, the bitter denunciations and the terrible slanders of years past were withdrawn, and the sincere belief in the integrity, honor, and patriotism of those but yesterday so violently assailed, was frankly acknowledged. The Old-line Whigs, however, have been too wise to be caught with chaff, and too true to principle to be seduced, even by honest praise. Even before the nomination made at Baltimore by the sages of the Whig party was known, in almost all sections of the country the masses of that heroic party exhibited unmistakable evidences of their preferences in the present canvass. Ever, wljen strong or weak, the old Whigs were for the Union of tho States. How could they now fail to ally themselves to the party of conservatism in a contest where two sectional parties had entered the field We have been much encouraged by the following note from Fort Adams, as it furnishes an index of the movement which will tako place throughout the entire Southern States, when the voice from the Whig Convention is heard by the party throughout their borders.

Fort Adams, Sept. 18, 1866. Editors Crkoli I send you a word of good cheer from Southern Mississippi. A movement has beon commenced which argues well for our cause. Your enthusiastic reorganization of that chivalrous Fillmore Rangers? which achieved a victory in not a more auspicious event in the present canvass, than the meeting for organization which we have lately held In this place.

From the surrounding country the people came in crowds to give their allegiance to Fillmore, and among the number we had four hundred Old-line Whigs who had decided to act for themselves, as they were directed by patriotism and a love of their country. Sirs, ray heart was stirred with uncontrollable emotion as these gallant men, true to the Union, gave their pledge to the patriot Fillmore. Send me Bome of your documents for the canvass here. They are Palxhan guns for our cause. B.

like the gathering of Scottish clans when tke burning brand was borne through valley and over hill tops, so will be the rallying of the old Whig party, summoned by the stirring note coming from the Baltimore Convention. In many places in this State the news of the action of that body has been responded to with booming cannon and the shoots of men now more hopeful for the country. Good News from Georgia. A distinguished gentleman writing from ville, Georgia, says: Georgia will be redeemed, and vou may be assured that she will place herself alongside of the Empire State of the North, in her support of Fillmore. The old-line Whigs, In Stephens' and Toombs' District, who defeated us in the late elections have acknowledged that they were betrayed and deluded by those old and are Socking to the standard of Fillmore.

You may put down Georgia certain for Fillmore. of the old-line Whigs, who voted against us in the last gubernatorial election have already declared for Fillmore, and the Tsui peranoe men who ran a separate ticket will, almost to a man, vote for Fillmore. Their candidate for governor, the Hon. B. H.

Overly, is an alternate elector, and a strong Fillmore man. With this combination the State if safe for Fillmore by a decisive majority. 44 I learn from a gentleman recently from Alabama, that the enthusiasm in that State is unprecedented. There is strong probability of the State's going right. Fillmore will divide the vote of the South with Buchanan.

Let the North do her duty, and all will be well." Yours, Q. W. N. A Modest Sao J. Grund, writing to the Baltimore Sun from Milwaukie, thus alludes to bis own performance on the stump in that region 44 A German gentleman from Washington or Philadelphia, I cannot tell which, also addressed these meetings, and from the quantity of Hock? real Schloss was afterwards consumed, must have excited considerable enthusiasm.

As I understood him, he pitched somewhat into the Red Republican Socialist immigration of 1848, and its devoted Black Republican leaders of this day. He spoke for two hours, and such was the patience of the Germans that they cried for more." The Louisville Journal thus alludes to this person The notorious Francis J. Grund, pretty well known ss a Washington letter-writer, is or has been making Buchanan speeches in Indiana and Illinois. He is a Dutchman, and unquestionaMy as corrupt and unprincipled a rascal as ever lived. He has some talent, but, in the minds of all who know him or his reputation, his name is synonymous with infamy.

A few years ago he walked up to Colonel Benton in the midst of several persons in one of the rooms of the Capitol, and, in the blandest manner he could assume, extended to him his hand. 44 No, sir I no, sir 1" exclaimed old Bullion, 44 I'll your hand, sirI I despise you, sir!" You are a scoundrel, sir! You are a damned scoundrel, sir! Away with you, sirI" And thereupon the infuriated old man made fit him, and the cowardly rascal retreated with a precipitation that made the crowd shout with merriment and scorn. Fillmore in thi Southwestern distinguished gentleman writes as follows to a friend of ours 441 have just returned from a large and glorious meeting at Americus. B. H.

Hill, A. R. Wright, and R. P. Trippe were there.

Good was Thin State can be carried for Fillmore if the people could be reached. I have always felt so. I begin almost to know it. This very day and hour Fillmore possesses ten times the affection and confidence of the people of any man in all the Union." So we say, and if the friends of Mr. Fillmore? those who wish him to be President in preference to all others would only vote for him, he would carry Georgia and the whole Union by an overwhelming Georgian.

Senator Benjamin at Benjamin addressed a meeting of Democrats and Old-line Whigs, at New Orleans, on the 28d. The Bulletin informs us that his speech was a failure, being a special plea in his own behalf, and remarks: Whenever he mentioned the names of Clay and Fillmore, the house shook with applause; and when the meeting broke up the crowd went down stairs hurrahing for Fillmore I Fillmore FILLMORE I vociferously, and kept it up long after they reached the street and into Lafayette Square. In fact, a Fillmore procession was formed outside on the instant and marched through the streets! If Mr. Benjamin raises such enthusiasm everywhere for Fillmore, we suggest that the Fillmore men in the city request him to visit every parish in the State. It will save them a good deal of labor.

is just at hand, and in reply I have to say that if you will take a brother's advice, 'you will not bet one dollar on going for Buchanan. I have never seen such a cl.ange in the minds of the people. Men, who I know have voted the Democratic ticket all their lives, are going for Fremont 44 You know something about the kind of Democratic meetings we used to have in old Westmoreland. Well, all that have taken place this season are but shadows in the comparison, and where we UBed to see thousands of Democrats, we now see so many Freemonters. For instance, at our Buchanan meeting here recently, there were ouly 200 or 800 persons present, while a Fremont gathering, about the same time, numbered near 8000.

Buchanan carries this State, a complete revolution must be effected. I repeat, therefore, don't bet one dollar on its going for him it is not a safe investment, though I wish it were otherwise." J. N. D. The above letter contains valuable testimony, because it is the production of a Democrat who, in the freedom of fraternal intercourse, warns his brother in New Orleans to risk no money on the success of Bnchanan in the Keystone State.

i. HoDM. Wood, whoso advertisement will be found in another column has discovered a remedy for the gray and bald! which is at once practicable and cheap. It requiresno dyeing, no wig, nor extraordinary trouDie. There can bo no doubt whatever of its efficacy.

We have seen testimonials almost without number, and from men of great intelligence, high standing and moral worth. Those who have been bald for years are now wearing their own hair, and appear ten yeara younger than they did six months ago. As in most cases gray hairs and bald heads are both premature and unnatural, it is a duty to remedy them by the natural and undoubted means which Prof. Wood has invented, and now kindly offers to the afflicted. Read his advertisement, try his wonderful remedy, and give the Professor a new Eagle.
