1S16: All editors profess to be the eoardians of the rights of the people, and to keep tbem advised, through their columns, of whatever shall arise for Iheir benefit. We will live up lo this letter, and inform them lhat the most wonderful and valuable medicine for their Reneral use ever Invented, is" BALLKY MAtllCAL PAIN EXTRACTOR" lis virtues are so rare, mihty and eccentric, that otten they appear to work more like miracles than by science, so effective, electric, and astounding are its powers on the human body, that, though now it is daily tried by thousands of people, not one of this great mass but is delighted beyond comparison, and candidly confess they, on no consideration, will ever aain be without it. The inventor, Mr. U. OaLLIV, has wisely kept the secret to himself.

Counterfeits are busy about it, but without success. Its overwhelming merits defy all competition, and its peculiarities analysis. We confidently commend all parents to sek its acquaintance, for surely such a friend, who laughs ut death and suffering, restores the blind, lame. halt, and scarred to perfection, and all ftom pain, is a triend iudeel." We wish the discoverer of th's mighty blessing, who is a real tienefactor mankind, Ood speed.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Sept mber 1. The condition of the wounded, yet remaining in Burlington, has not materially changed. Every attention and kindness that a generous and humane people can bestow, is liberally extended by tbe good citizens of our sister city, each endeavoring to outvie the other ia noble acts of philanthropy. We are pained to add that our prediction as to the condition of Mrs. Gillespie, of Mississippi, has proved true, 1 esterday morning, her left leg was amputated by Dr.

Panl Gjddard, assist ed by Dr. John Neill and others, fehe bore tbe operation with an extraordinary degree of fortitude. Mr. Gillespie, her husband, whose leg was amputated the previous evening, ia rapidly sinking, and it seems almost impossible for the re covery of either. This is, indeed, a sad and truly distressing case.

rmsDana ana who, in years advanced, fur from homo, but not without kind friends, euuering unaer sucn awiui circumstances, cannot bo otherwise than harrowing to the feelings of the most stout-hearted. Both of the above are at the house or Mrs. Margaret Smith, Main street, below the railroad depot, where every attention is paid to them. Mr. Utis risk, or ftliddletown, bad a portion of his foot amputated on Thursday night.

He is at the house of Caleb R. Smith. Seems to be easy, and in a fair way to recover. Mrs. Boyce, of Georgetown, D.

was somewhat better yesterday. Lewis Lichtenstein, of Richmond, was able to walk about yesterday, and will leave for home to dny. Mrs. Phillips was leeched yesterday, and seems to be improving. Her little daughter was taken to Philadelphia on Thursday night.

Mrs. P. is at the Railroad Hotel. The body of Hughes li. Jetvia, of Newark, Delaware, was clearly identified by Mr.

Hnrh 8. M'Cauley, of the firm of M'Cauley Fourth and Market streets, Philadelphia. His remains have been sent borne. As there were doubts about the identification of the body, we deem it roper to say that Mr. M'C.

fully satisfied all upon that point. Mr. M'C. was deeply affected when the remains of his friend were shown him. John Pusrh, of Schuylkill county, and Denuis O'Kane, of Georgetown, aro about the same.

lion. Win. B. Maolay, of Now York, now at the housa of Col. James Wall, is in excellent spirits, and will no doubt be soon able to reach his home.

He is in good hands, and will receive every atteutiou from Col. W. Charles Dixey, of Philadelphia, at Mrs. Reid's, Main street, below Broad, is not so well as report last announced him. The youth found in the vicinity of the accident, and who gave bis nams as Chambers, is believed to be John Mills, aged years, whose mother.

Alice Mills, resides a short distance from Bordcntown, at which place he was lost en the evening of the 29th iust- He is now at the residence cf Dr. Cbaloner. William A. Hughes, of Boston, whose arm was broken and otherwise injured, returned to his home Yesterday. Mr.

GUiespie, of Mississippi, made a will yesterday afternoon, bequeathing property to tbe amount of SbOO.OOO. believing that his end was near approahiog He has sustained the sad affliction with manly fortitude. Philadelphia, September 1, 1805 John- F. Gillespie, of Natchez, a victim of tbe disaster at Burlington. ded at two clock this afternoon.

His wife is failing fast, and will not probably recover. Much couiusion has arisen regarding the body of Mr. Humphrey, it being claimed unJer four dtacrent names r.y no lees than lonr persons. His body is retained by the coroner for more perfect identification. A Kansas Judge Denying th Awtnotlty of the President.

We bave before mentioned that Hon. Rueh Elmore, one of tbe Judges ef Kansas, bad been removed by President Pierce for the same of fence charge! against ex Governor Reader, via: speculation in tbe publio lands. It seems he de nies tbe power of the President to remove him, and being backed by the tot Uuant legislature cf Kansas, dehes the Federal authorities. Mr Elmore is a Virginian, hence we bear no bowl from tbe abolitionists his removal. But here is bis letter to the Attorney General of the Unite States tMiAWSae Minstos, Aug- 2J, lS.Vi.

Sr i received yoOrs cf the Oth on the 20ib 1 did not expect jhe explanations and reaeoos asiroed in ray omtnauication of tbe lltb cf July to bave been satisfactory to the PresiJent, for i felt coctiJeot that the President's course being dictated altogether by political policy which would not be successful without the re moral of an e)ual nutut.er of Territorial officers from the North and from the routh, was fully determined upon (cx parte as it evidently was) on the date of your letter of the 14th of June, and I gave Ibe statement of the facts, and the reason which induced me to become a party to those oonlracli in the way of explanations, so that the facta and my reasons might be pUced on tile in tbe Department. The Legislature has deemed it roper and right to locate the seat of justice in and for the county of Calhoun at tbe town of Calhoun a town laid out on tho reserve granted to half breed Kansas Indians, (in which neither of tbe parties to the contracts heretofore submitted by Gov. Reeder and others have any iaterest whatsoever.) and surely they would not have done so if they had oortceived for one moment that so doing they apparently violated the acts of Congress, or tbe Regulations of the Department. I asked, for information, what act ol Congress and what regulations of the Department bad opparectiy violated, aud I consider that I had a right to expect that I should receive such iufor-mation, and, as it is, has not been given, I must think that 1 have not apparently violated evou the spirit of a single act of Congress or regulation of tbe Department, otherwise the information would bave been imparted in your letter of the Ltb instant. The I'Tth section of the act known as the Nebraska and Kansas Aot fixes the tenare of ofSce of the Judges of the Supreme Court in tbcsi words, and they shall bold their ollioe for the period cf four years, hnd until their successors shall be appointed and qualified." No power is given by the bill to the President to remove.

And if you examine the tenure of office of tbe Governor, the Secretary, the District Attorney and Marshal, you will see a marked difference. Tbe power to remove all and eaoh of these Ulcers is expressly retained ia these words, unless sooner removed by the President. (See'tbe 20, 21, 27 and 29th sections: pamphlet acts 1853-4, p. 284 I roust think, if tbe Koglish language means anything, that the President has not the power or the right. to remove tbe Judges of this Territory at his will and pleasure; and, as the Territorial Legislature has deemed it right and proper to express an opinion on the subject which is contained in tbe resolutions herewith enclosed, I oannot consent to the action of tbe President, and 1 hereby give notice that I shall resist this action through tbe courts of the country.

Respectfully, KUHtl t-LMUlib Hon. Calku CvshiniI, Attorney General, U. (Jreeley at a Dance llouss. Our neighbor Greeley gives, in the Tribune, an interesting account of a visit he paid to tbe Crcmorce Gardens during his recent stay in iionaon. no ssys there were over three thou sand persons present there, including a thousand women, tbe majority of whom were manifestly lost to virtue, if not dead to shame.

He savs: 1 The Eog'ish are not skillful in varniahine vice at least, I have seen no evidence of their tact in that line. 1 endured the spectacle of men dancing with women when rather beery aud smoking; Tut at last the eight of a dark and by no means elegant mulatto waltzing with a decent looking white girl, while putting away at a rather bad cigar, proved too muoh for my iaokee prejudice, and 1 started." This shows how shockingly men may be mis understood. The popular notion hereabuuis is that the prejudice which aotually proved too mush foe Me fivaalav waa ihe last One lOWOlts he would bo likelv to'vield.

The following extract from a speech of the Hoa. Kenneth Ryner, delivered in ibe North Carolina Constitutional Convention in 18:15, ou the question of removing Catholic disabilities, contains, as the Mobile Reg'tEter well says, noble sentiments: But it is said, if tbe Catholic is excluded from office, that will not deprive him of the right of worshipping God according to the dictates or his conscience. Sir, the right of worshipping God, freo from all personal pains and penalties, is a right wbich can now bo enjoyed in any country in Christendom. Jin exclusion from the honors, the profits ana emoluments oj the state is the highest persecution which public opinion Kill tolerate in any Christian country in this enlightened age. So that if you sanction the principle recognized in the thirty-second article, you use the rod of persecution with as unsparing a hand as it is used in Spain or tho (States of the church.

And if you exclude one sect, why not another and another, and finally all except one? It was a favorite saying of Napoleon that there was but one step from tbe sublime to the ridiculous: and on the same principle there is but one step from religious freedom to the most bitter and intolerant persecution. Retain that article, and I assert it that the Catholic and the Jew will be piaoed under tbe ban of proscription, no matter how great may be his merits although he may pour out blood like water in her defense; yet, for daring to worship God aocor ding to tho dictates of his own consaieoce, you cut him off from all hope of political preferment, and from all stimulus to a laudable ambition. Like the Israelites in Egypt, be will be oppressed by the land in which he lives, the soil on which bo treads, and like tbem he will have no other resource left but to torn his back upon the graves of his fathers, and take up Lis march for some more tolerant clime. Sir, the exclusion from otlice for opinion's sako, in this enlightened age proceeds from the same spirit of bigotry and superstition wluoh has preyed upon mankind from the building of Bibel to the present time it is the same spirit which presented the cup to Socrates, confined Galileo in his dungeon, wbich bound Cran-nier to th stake of uiirtyrjom. which drove the Huguenots from France nay, more, Sir, it is thd same spirit which lod the rlaviour of the world to Calvary's awful summit.

Kir, what must be he situation cf the immigrant who comes to this country for the sake of religious freedom, if the appearance of the good old North State should induce him to make it his home Will be not wish himself across the waters again, that "after life's fitful fever is o'er" ho may lay his bones with those cf his fathers? What must be the feelings of the piius mother, when looking on ber tender inf whom she believes her duty to her God enjoins her to train up in the same way which has secured peace to ber own bosom what must be her agouizing feelings when she reflects that by so doing she is consigning bim to obscurity forever? Sir, I would ask tbe Convention whether this proscription is in accordance with the holy precepts of the requirements of the Goepel? Does it accord with that benevolence for the human family, that charity for others, without which the Apostle says a practical exercise of all Christian duties, coupled with a faith strong enough to remove mountains is "as sonnding brass and tinkling cymbals." Sir, Is this convention ready to incorporate into our fundamental law tbe doctrine that honesty, capability, and faithfulness to tho Constitution, is not a suffisient qualification for cilice, but that be who obtains it must abjure to a certain particular faith? Sir, who constituted us tudges of the hearts and consciences of men" What right have we to impugn the motives of our fellow-men? it Is asserting one cf tha attributes of tbe Deity itself, for it ia tbe Lord alone that pondereth the heart Sir, you taiy crry on this system of persecution, but thtre is one point which you cannot tether th: mind fetters cannot bind it; tyrants couot eccha'm it; dungeous cannot confine it; it will rise superior to the power of fite, and a.pirc to bim who gave it.

A Pkisokkb KsLikstu. Rather more than three years since, a printer connected with this journal bnried a live toad in his gardcu. It was covereJ up about two feet below the surface without anything as a protection agaieat the pressure of tbe earth, and, on being dug up a few days ago, the loathsome ereatare, after staring for a tncment with its bright, beautiful eyes, leaped away as nimbly as if it had been croeatag a foot-path, we are quite aware that tosds have been found alive after more than three years' confinement, some of them having beea found in the heart or rooks, where they mnst have remained for thousands of years but the experiment recorded is nevertheless tntervstiog, as it affords an additional confirma tion ef one of tbe most inexplicable facts in ani mated nature. Above tbe toad grave the flowers of three summers have grown; hearts ease and mint bave struck down their roots to wards the reptile, but were far from reaching its arrow honso, in which, if undisturbed, it might nave slept and lived ror innumerable ages, till, perhaps, released by a convulsion of nature. raising what was onoe Morayshire from under tbe waters of the ocean.

The steamer Com monwealth, running between New York and Al-lyn'a Point, on the Worcester and Norwich line from Boston to New York, recently made the whole distance, 133 miles, in six hours and twelve minutts, inclusive of a stop at New Londou. The average rate cf speed was 22 miles per hour. This ia the fastest time on record.

The entire number of applications under the bounty land law sinoe Maroh last, np to the 1st ia 209,800, of which, 10,700 were filed in August.

During the same month 8,700 warrants were issued. The total number issued is 24,000. While some boys were "playing soldier" at CoU Spring, N. on Thursday afternoon, Thomas Pbalen was stabbed in the lower part of his body with a sharp bayonet fixed on a stiok by a boy named Finnen, and injured so much that he died in about half an hour afterwards. The deceased was about eight years of age.

Eight miles more of the Huntingdon and Broad Top railroad has been completed, making now 15 miles in all that is In operation.

Four young men belonging to Montreal, named Charles Atwater, Wm. Webster, Harry M. Webster and Wm.

John Y. V. 8. Minister at Paris, calls the attention of our Government to the fact that persons who have only filed a declaration of their intention to become citizens of this country are going abont Europe with papers alleged to be American passports, not even issued by the State Department, nor under its authority, tut by private individuals. In such cases be had taken the responsibility of seizing tho papers, and refusing to give, in place of them, any tea timonial of Amerioan protection, and this course is approved by Secretary Msrey.

In the evening session ou Wednesday, on motion of John Van Buren, it was resolved, that tbe committee on resolutions be instructed to report to the Cunvantiun their views upon the time and manner of appointing delegates to represent the Democracy of New York at tbe Cincinnati National Convention.

The K. N. State Convention at Bioghampton appointed Krastus Brooks and Mr. Scroggs, of Buttalo, delegates to tbe National Convention. It seems Rev.

Cbaunoey Borr belongs to the order; be that was formerly editor of the National Democrat, a Hard print. Tbe Baltimore Kepublican, in expressing a preference for the re nomination of the preseu incumbeut of the Presidential chair, says: "surely no man has more faithfully adhered the constitution in nil its requirements than has General Pierce. Tbe State of Maine newspaper says that th visit of Hale and Bell, from New Hampshire was as harmless as the visit of two grasshoppers Banks and Hale are still laboring to inform th people of Maine who they should elect Governoi and Representatives. Benevolent persons, these renegades; perhaps the voters of Maine know their duty as well as these foreign dictators from New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Am Elton, fOPOLAE or Not.

The New York Herald says the belief that our officials an citizens" ore prohibited from accepting titles of nobility, presents, from foreign nations, 1 a populir error." It says an amendment tbe Constitution, to that effect, was introduced into Congress, in ISIS, but was never passed, as only twelve States accepted it. If this be so. is time that the Constitution of tbe United States were oorrectly printed, for every copy ever is sued, that we have seen, stubbornly contains thi paragraph in division of section ix, of ar tide 1st No person holding any otlice of profit or trust under tbem, (tbe United States,) shall without the consent of Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince or foreign Stata." This seems a very effectual prohibition to "our officials," and wo never heard tbe clause applied to private citizens. When Gen. Jackson, while President, a number of years ago, was presented by some admiring foreign friend of princely rank the Emperor of Alorocco, we believe, with Nnmidian Lion," Congress had to pass an act allowing him to accept it- The belief referred to may be popular, but it is not eo erroneous as tbe Herald supposes.

IarosTANT Statistics. It is stated, as show ing that tbe Southern States maintain their growth relatively with the North, or nearly so, that in 17' 0 tbe population of Georgia was b2, OOO in it bad increased to 900,000, an in crease of eleven fold in sixty years. In li'JO, the population of New 1 ork was 840,000 in 1860 it bad grown to 3.078,000, an increase of nine fold in CO years. It will be perceived that Georgia has increased faster than New York, notwithstanding the advantage which the latter State has had from foreign immigration. To make a comparison with Virginia, take the State of Massachusetts.

In 1790 her population was in 1850 ft was 994,000. In 1790 tbe population of Virginia was 748,000 in 1850 it was 1,421,000. In Massachusetts the increase in CO years has been 230 per cent. In Virginia it has been 200 percent. This difference in favor of Massachusetts is very small, and is more than balanced, if you compare Connecticut with South Carolina, both belonging to the old thirteen.

In 1(90 tbe population of Connecticut was 238.000: in 1850 it was 370,000. Thus nearly doublin in ou years, in li tu the population of South Carolina was in 1850 it was 608,000, which is almost threo times the number in 1790. From the N. Y.

Nova Scotia A despatch has been received in this citv from Sydney this morning, confirming the news of the loss of the sub-marine telegraph, which was being laid between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. The vessel was fortv miles from the Newfoundland coast, and had been ens-aired in laying the cable two days. The eable, which was insured, was abandoned to the underwriters, and the vessel, after coaling at Sydney, was to return to this city, where she is expected to arrive on Monday or Tuesday evening. It is supposed that this accident will delay the completion of the telegraph at least one year.

WHY WIS sIlUl'LD SUPPORT TIIsE TICKET. The democrats of this county have presented for their support this fall one of the best tickets we have ever had. The Convention which form ed it seemed resolved to do right, and to repre sent the views and promote the best interests of the party. Seldom has a Convention been so harmonious, so free from faotional influences, ani so intent upon commencing the work of the campaign well and wisely. We should all eup-port the ticket, then, because it is a good ocet and was put in nomination by a Convention that truly represented the sentiments of the party.

List' year was a year of dis8ters to our party. Private griefs and disappointments had alienated some of our farmer friends. Mny were dissatisfied with our candidates. Novel combinations were formed against us and by the lukewarm-ness of our friends, and the zeal or onr foes, we lost all in 1854. But these causes are not at work now.

Our rves are divided and cannot unite in time for tbe October election. Our can didates are unobjectionable. Tho disaffected ani disorganizing have left us, and we have found many new friends in their steal. In eli directions we find the Democrats going tealously and cotfidentlv to work. They seem to be re solved that it onr turn now to triumph that it is our duty to do so, and that there are elements at work that will enable us to do so if rightly employed.

We should all support the ticket. then, because we have chance of suacees ohaoce to secure a fir share of the publio ffi cos, which our party in this eounty has seldom enjoyed. By failing to do our duty this fall we shall throw away the best chance we had for years of securing a just ohara in the adminis tration of publio affairs. The Democratic party is now the only national party; and upon its firmness an! saooess must the country depend for the safety and integrity of the Union, and for peace and harmony between its different parts. Tbe people have not yet forgotten the value of the Union, nor the history of the past.

That history assures us that it was the Union of the North and Sooth that secured our independence that has ena bled os in three-fourths of a century to become one of the greatest nations of the world and it is that Union that now gives ns domestic peace and prosperity, and secures us from foreign as aault. Upon the Demooraoy alone now devolves the task of preserving that Union and all its inestimable advantages. This is our task and our duty and each triumph won, each battle well fought, even in a local election, is a part of its accomplishment. Hence we should support the tioket to measure our strength, perfect onr organization, and prepare for the Presidential campaign of next year. If we win this year, the forces of our antagonists will be broken and scattered, while oar friends will be cheered and encouraged.

Every true Democrat will support onr whole ticket this year. He will do so be cause it is a good ticket because there is a rea sonable hope of success and because the suc cess of tbe Democracy seems essential to the safety and best interests of the country. The charm of novelty and suocess has depart ed from the Know Nothing party. It has met repeated defeats of late, both North and South. It is tho old Native American party, with a fresh infusion of roligious prejudice and abolitionism, and with a temporary accession of numbers gained by that attractive secresy that it can no longer maintain.

Tbe Republican party is the old Abolition party with a new name, but no new principles. Its greatest achievement will be to rend asunder the American party, and thus divide and defeat the opponents of the De mocracy and all effective opposition to us will be-confined to tbe Northern States slone. Mrs. Swlssbelm tad Sain." After all it appears Mrs. Jane Q.

Swisshelra is not sound on the American question or rath er she considers the Order unsound on the Anti- elavery issue, bhe therefore writes another letter to Mr. Riddle, expressing tbe hope that "if they (the Know nothings) intend to count the importance of Philadelphia dry goods, to the extent of adopting that lame Reading resolution as their ultimatum, I hope they may be so badly beaten that they will never think worth while calling the roll after the next election." This is what she says after reading the platform of the principles of the Order as published in its organs in this county. Mrs. Swisshelra says further that when the members of the National Council' meet at Cincinnati if they do not throw the Slavedrivers out of the window, they may tie up their organization in a little canvass bag, with quart of sand, and sink it in the Ohio." Mr. Riddle says never a word in reply to the epistle of better half of the' Journal and Visitor, and we consequently arrive at the opinion that the American party has concluded to go ahead without the aid of her powerful pen and tongne.

Tbe mode of Inhalation, in cases of diseased Inng and throat, recommended by Dr. Curtis in his advertisement, strikes ns as the true one. It Is now generally admitted by our best physicians, that local difficulties can only be successfully treated by total applies lions. This practice has been pursued from the first with respect toexternal mflam-mation and corrosions, and we see not why diseases of the throat and lungs may not be treated In the same manner; we believe they may.
