VVHIO MtrTI!«G IX OGLETHORPE.
g\t a meeting in Lft-xington, on the Ith of July,
of which B. F. Hardeman was President, P. W .
Hutchison Secretary, aii«i B. W. Hubbard, Claik#-
T#»y*or, Tbos. G. Gresham, Z. 11. Ci&rk and John \S
M-rrdy, Committee, toe following reftoiutiono, re
ported by L-e Committee, were unanimously
ad'-pted:
Resolved, That although Ihe nominee of the Vi hig
Couvention wn#§ not the fir»i choice of many; yet
we, liae Whigs of Oglethorpe, bolding the cardinal
republican prin# iple that a majority 3bail rule, i cil
linifly yield all persona. preterfcttCeS aiid cordially
unite in tiie support of tbe nominees of that Conven
tion and will uae all honorable means in aid of their
election.
Resolved, That all territory acqui-ed by the com
rnou blood and treasure cf the people of this Union
is the common property ot the poop e, and that
neittar Congress nor the territorial Legislature* Lav#:
any right t*» p okib*t tne introduction of slaves into
-.urb territory. And that Lbe position of (ieu. Ca*v>
uje>n tbL- nut j«ct deserves and ftbouki receive the
uncompromising opposition of every true-bearted
American.
Mr losmbh o*.* Splatter Bov»rkiontt.—-On
the Ist of July, Hon. K. To# mb? made a sj eech in
Congress, in which h tnus spoke of Gen. Cabs
S<iuatter Sovereignty :
Thia insidious prop*m-tion of Gen. C#iw*; is not only
treachery to the South, but to the* X~rtk also; it
involves a sun#»nder. n*»t only of rights, but
of duty, and a surrender of both iuto the power and
< u»t* «Jy of those whose history proves them to be
v’eok and iirdx ciie. pusillaiiiui«»us and corrupt. The
Northem statesman * qna’ly, with he Southern, be
trays his section by the adoption of this subterfuge.
If nis section and mine have both claims and rights
iu reference to this territo*y. shall he and 1 basely
abandon them to those whom his constituents and
mine have made ignoniinkwsly to pass under the
y< >k© ! Shall we, the comn.on" representatives of a
- i , a free, ar*#! a powerful people, bound together
by a common ancestry, by political brotherhood, by
< oinmon interests, and an indissoluble destiny, base
ly distrust each other, and uhrink from tlie perform
ance of those duties which devolve upon us, and
place the rights of ou. constituents iu such hands as
these ? Patriotism forbids it, national honor forbids
it, and if w»- attempt it, the twenty millions of
freemen in this great republic will forbid it, and
drive us from the public councils, and place their
great interests into the keeping of worthier hands
and braver hearts.
Mr. Toombs now supports Buchakax and Squat
ter Sovereignty.

of nil parties, but chiefly because he has exhibited

ker. J. H. McWhorter, E. W. Alfriend aud John M.
Ashurst.
The committee reported the following resolutions,
which \u re unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That xve place the most implicit confi
dence in the patriotism ot th* Hon. Millard Fillirn re,
oi New York, our candidate for Vice-President.,
and from his high nun exalted character as a states
man, his uniformly conservative course while in
Congress, and his principles and views upon the
subject of Southern institutions, we are willing to
trust him when he tells the whole country, “I dis
avow now and forever any des're to interfere with
tiie rights, or what is called the property of the
Southern States.
Rt solved. That xve hold the territories of the Uni
ted States to b** the common property f all—that
the citizens of earn State have the right to remove
there with their property of whatever kind, and that
neither Congress nor the Territorial Legislature have
any right to prohibit the introduction there of any
kind of property whatever, which may be recog
nixed as such by the lnxvs of the State from which
."aid inhabitant.-* may remove, and by the Constitu
tulion of the United States, and that the Supreme
Court of the United States have no powerto adju
dicate such right.
Resolved, That as tbe Northern Democrats have
discarded every other issue between the two politi
cal parties, and have placed the Presidential elec
tion solely upon the “ freesoil issue," xve will meet
them upon it. And we now appeal to every slave- •
holder to uuite with us to defeat the elevation of !
those aspirants who would again beguile us with the !
pledge that they are “ Northern uien with Southern ;
principles."
MR. TOOMBS ON SQUATTER SOVEREIGNTY.

courses as the proper mode of disposiug of the Mexi- :
can territory and of (ion. C*ss’ doctrine:
These acquisitions have been trade by the com
mon bloo 1 and treasure of the whole Union. The
slave--holding States demaud an equal participation
iu their enj »vmeut, that their citizens shall have the
right to emigrate to them with their slaves, and be
protected by law m their enjoyment. The non-slave
Holding States resist this demand aud insist upon ex
cluding slavery from them. This determination to
exclude us has been manifested and avowed in the
most unequivocal and insulting manner. Mr. Van
Bu eu pt\*p**ses to exclude us by incorporating
iu the bill establishing territorial government an
express opinion against slavery, more commonly
called the Wilmot proviso. General Cass, two
years ago, favored the same policy; more re
cently. he' ptxqmees to exclude us, by leaving
ail legislation upou the subject of slavery to tbe ter
ritorial legislatures; he declares they will exclude
us. and gives clear and satisfactory reasons for that
opinion. To us there is not one particle of differ
ence between the position of Mr. Yau Buren and
Geu. Cass. We resist the efforts to exclude us from
these territories. The mode of exclusion is wholly
indifferent to us. Yet we have Southern uien who
denounce Van Bureu and support Cass. The sup
porters of Cass seek to delude us with false issues; ,
they labor to make the Question turnon the ilmot
proviso in ter ms, while tbeir own candidate accom
p i*ues and eet-ks to accomplish the same object in a
different yet equally effectual manner.
Again, ou the Uth of September, Mr. Toombs re
plied to an addres* of the Democratic Committee to
the people of the District, iu which he said:
“I will at once proceed with pn>d temper and I trust |
with candor and fairue-s, to examine briefly some of
the considerations aud facts submitted by the com
mittee under the head of “The Slavery Question”
—which they appropriately ienn ‘ the'great ques- |
lion of the day.” The committee express the opin- !
h»u that “the Southern are satisfied to
trust their safety in the keeping of General Cass,”
aud I much fear that such is the fact with reference
to the greater number of them . but I must be allow
ed to snv. aim I think I cau conclusively show tnat
such trust is not weil placed. The reasou given by
the committee in this connection is, that “the VS higs

Fillmore Elector*at the North.
Unis of the shaifoweet tricks attempted to be
played off u,/on the people of the South by the
Democratic organs and leaden, is the story that
there* are no Fill moke electoral tickets in 1 he North
ern States. Hence, he has no possible chance to be
elected. Thi- affords most conclusive evidence of
their desperation, while* it evinces a degree of coo!
impudence* that is quite refreshing. It ia only with
in the last two or three weeks that there was a Bu
ch ana* electoral ticket in any Northern State, and
there are now several States, New Hampshire,
Maine, Ma-scachusetts, Connecticut, and others, we
believe, in which they have no ticket whatever. —
The fact is, it is not usual to nominate electoral tick
ets at the North till August and September, and that
th#* Buchananites of the South should have taken
advantage of this fact to impose upon the Southern
people, shows how desperate their fortunes are.—
The friends of Fillmore have already a ticket in
Pennsylvania, and conventions will soon meet in
New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, to
nominate electors. Ind#;ed, iu every free Stete, as
far a* we have 6een, movements are in progress for
the appointment of Fillmore electoral tickets; and
what is more remarkable, the contest in all of these,
except perhaps Pennsylvania, will be,.i*. is said, be
tween Fillmore and Fremont. Buchanan is re
garded as a botherum.
Hucbanan’if .Northern and Southern Face.
As the Democracy profess to stand on the same
platform, and to act in perfect concert, on all ques
tions, the unsophisticated will doubtless be surprised
to see that they present very different faces on the
slavery question at the South and North.
His Southern face is presented by the Vicksburg
(Miss./ Sentinel, a zealous Buchanan organ, thus :
“We dare and defy any one to point to a single
v#jte that Mr. Buchanan ever gave during his Con
gressional career, involving the question of slavery,
that was not on the side of the South, and opposed
to the Abolitionists/'
That ia certainly a very bold front for the South.
Let us now see how his Northern friends exhibit
him to the freeeoilers. The Providence (Rhode Is
land) Post, as zealous a Buchanan organ as the
Vicksburg Sentinel, introduces him to a Nexv Eng
land public thus:
“ Mr. Buchanan never uttered a word in defence of
slavery, or whispered a sentence in favor of its exis
tence, or vast a vote which any honest man would
construe into a wish to support the institution
There, reader, you have his freesoil front. What
think you of it. as compared with the Southern pre
sentation. They do not harmonise precisely—not
altogether so well as the Southern Democracy seem
to harmonize with the Van Bure ns and Buffalo
platform men.
Democracy in Loiii.-innsi.
The New Orleans Delta, a Democratic organ,
presents the following picture of Buchananism in
that State, which may be un interesting study for
the faithful elsewhere, and we therefore commend
it to their attention. There, as anywhere else, it is
impossible to excite any enthusiasm for the squatter
sovereign. The Delta says :
A few Buchanan Clubs have beeu formed iu this
District, but*they are blesssd with more officers than
private soldiers, and do not display any very cheer
ing signs of longevity and strength. They are con
structed, too, on the old principle of “moral force,”
which lias been so signally defeated in the late elec
tions held in this city. Several young lawyers are
ready to make speeches when required, but the era
of eloquent addresses and decisive resolutions is
over ; a harangue is powerless against a bowie knife,
and pen, ink and paper arc ratner unreliable wea
pons against a revolver.
An organization on the ancient oratorical basis, is
worse than no organization at all; it can never be
useful as society is constituted hei# at present, but
it is pretty sure to be ridiculous. Wiiat if Brown
deliver a regular screamer of a speech ? Will that
defend the ballot-box ? What if Robinson draw up
th*: most elaborate resolutions ? Will they encour
age the naturalized citizens ? What if Jones num
bers twenty or thirty voters in his club ? Will that
compensate for ihe neglect or incapacity of the lead
ers ? Or suppose even that Smith is certain of his
appointment to the customhouse in return for oppo
sing Douglas, and that citizen Sangfroid is secure of
the post office, while Old Nestor will obtain the con
sulship to Havana/ Will these facts, interesting
and instructive hh they are, restore confidence to
the Democracy at large, or increase its respect for
the politicians who undejtake to determine its
course 7 Aloa, no! Ordinary human nature re
quires better incitements to resolute action.
Hucliiinun’s FedcrnliHin.
The following little episode in the history of Bu
chanan’s Federalism, will doubtless interest the
Southern Democracy, who always profess to enter
tain such au unutterable hatred for Fedederalism
aud Federalists. Mr. Buchanan iu his letter to
Geo. W. Jones, of Tennessee, in 1817, owned up to
his 4th of July Federal oration in 1815, but added iie
soon after repudiated his opinions ; yet in 18*J3,
eight years afterward, we find him heading the fol
lowing Federal circular. That the reader may fully
understand the matter, it may not be improper to
state that Shultz was the regular nominated candi
date of the old Republican War party, the man who
had stood by Madison aud the War. Hence he
was particularly obnoxious to those who had been
always opposed to the war, and, therefore, this
scheming, intriguing, Federal circular was is
sued. llow like the intriguing managing trickster
and demagogue :
Copy of the Circular issued hy the Federalists in
the election campaign of 1823, between Shultz
and Gregg.
We, as federalists, take the liberty of address
ing von on the subject of the approaching election
for Governor. We wish to communicate our senti
ments to you in confidence, and we are anxious
that you should eall on any of us wheu you visit
Lancaster, and give us your opinion. We wish to
be united. We desire both to give and take
counsel.
The candidates have beeu brought into your no
tice. They arc competitors for the highest State of
fice in the gift of the people. Neither of them be
long to our party.
Mr. Shultz is emphatically the Legislative candi
date. Those men whom the people sent to Harris
burg to make laws have attempted the power of
making a Governor. It remains to be decided
whether the freemen of Pennsylvania will yield up
their sovereign right to a Legislative caucus. This
candidate, thus nominated, is an attempt to excite
rancorous feelings, which heretofore existed against
Federalists. His notorious incapacity must iu this
manner be kept out of the view of the people ;
otherwise his case is desperate.
Mr. Gregg, although not a Federalist, has al ways
beeu considered an Conest enlightened politician.
At the time when the Father of our Country and of
our party, after having approved of Jay’s treaty laid
it before the Congress of the United States for their
ratification, Mr. Gregg was found contending on the
side of Washington against his own political friends.
Experience has proven the wisdom of his conduct.
No enlightened politician of either party now con
demns that treaty. It is the best we have ever
been able to obtain.
Mr. Gregg has been long in public life, aud has
filled ©very office conferred upon him by the people
with integrity aud ability. lie has acted a leading
part in the administration of Gov. Heister, and de
served much of the credit to which he is entitled.
We are assured that he resisted with all his ener
gy the adoption of the measure which justly gave so
much offence to the Federalists of Lancaster county.
Without culnrging on the subject, we are decided
ly of the opinion that, whether we consider the pub
lic good or the interest of our party, there is blit one
course left for us to pursue, and that is to support
Mr. Gregg. Should you be of the same opinion we
calculate much on your exertions.
We believe that in case Mr. Gregg should be suc
cessful, this will be the last party struggle in Penn
sylvania. After it, we trust the questions for a can
didate for offices will be, is he honest ? is he capa
ble ? and not what political name does he bear I
This would be a consummation devoutly to be wish
ed for by every honest and true patriot.

Yanct on Buchanan.—Old documents are lions
in the path of politicians. Note this extract from the
tbe 18 IS pamphlet of Hon. Wm. L. Yancy ;
“The North seeing us { the South) entering into
the Vice Presidential scramble, took advantage
of it, to snatch away our principles : for was it
not snatching away our principles when we were
induct'd to vote for such men as Buchanan and
Cass /”
Mr. Yancey, it will be remembered, is and was
one of the straigbtout State Rights Democrats,
of Alabama. He was the champion of his party
in 184 S against the heresy of Squatter Sovereign
ty. He it was who laid on Mr. Buchanan the ori
gin of that principle so disastrous to the South.

England is thirty-two bushels, and in France only
twelve bushels, while the produce of English land is
about sixteen dollars per acre, and that of France
eight dollars per acre.

Hon. A. H. Stephens :
Sir— I admit that roar opinions and position n
political matters hare carried great weight with
them in this Congressional District, as well us in
other sections of the State. Lest your present atti
tude should command an equally enlarged influence
you ought to be excessively cautious, as one ot our
political teachers, of the lessons you prescribe to us.
An open, frank and manly bearing on the part of
our opponents, will never tail to secure the admira
tion and respect of all honest hearts. On the other
Laud, au insidious course of fraud and duplicity
may, occasionally, insure au ignoble triumph. Yet,
* 4 ah experience proves” that iraud, detected, will
as certainly invoke just indignation, and overwhelm
the perpetrator with contempt and ignominy. My
remarks, I intend to apply to those who, knowing
ly, and with the intention to deceive a too confiding
and generous people, send forth perverted, mutila
ted and garbled expositions of public men’s opin
ions, whether such men oe of one party or another.
The principle of the practice is wrong, and, of
course, highly censurable, no matter where it may
be found.
I shall not attempt to inculpate any body. The
task to rtace an extensively practised fraud back
to its originator, would be as futile as it would be
fruitless. All I have a right to claim from honest
men, is to come out and denounce a fraud the mo
ment they discover that one has been practised,
and that they have been made the vehicle of pro
mulgation.
The first I shall proceed to notice, is to be found
in Mr. Buchanan’s famous (?) letter to Sanford of
Mobile. Who first expurgated that letter, I know
not, but that it has been most thoroughly emascu
lated, will not be denied by Mr. B.’s most insane
supporters.
The acknowledgment that Congress possesses the
exclusive power to legislate upon the subject of
slavery in the Territories, should never have been
withheld from Southern men by Southern presses,
more especially as Mr. B. has not yet, in so many
words, renounced such anti-Southern sentiments.
The effect of this fraud has already begun to mani
fest itself in Georgia, and the flood of virtuous in
dignation that will be showered upon its perpetrator,
whosoever it may be, can never be stayed. Its
first outbreak was at Griffin, one day last week, on
the occasion of a Democratic elector descanting,
largely and eloquently, upon the orthodoxy of the
aforesaid letter, which he proceeded to read from
the Constitutionalist. Having gone through with
his reading, B. H. Hill, Esq., a Fillmore elector, po
litely requested lain to read the e’en nine letter to
tlie multitude, which lie did, and like a gentleman
and an honest man he owned the fraud, and pledged
himself to make no further use of it during the pre
sent canvass. He ought to have gone further, and
then and there abjured the man who has been frost
ed upon the South, and whose cause lias to be built
up by fraud. You will soon find out that the effect
of that fraud will not end where it began.
The next stupendous one is that endorsed by J.
Glaney Jones, of Pa., in his reply to his colleague,
H. M. Fuller. I have not Mr. Fuller s speech be
fore me, but Mr. Carlisle’s, of Ya., will serve my pur
pose fully as well. Mr. J. undertakes, in his place,
(under the sanction of his oath!) to deny, what Mr.
F. did not allege, that Mr. Buchanan acted as
Chairman of the Committee that reported the Lan
caster Abolition Resolutions of 1819. He also de
nies Mr. B'h being a member of the committee, and
his seeing them until they appeared’in print. Now,
it has been proved, from the record, in away that
would hold in a court of justice, that Mr. B. teas
at that meeting, did sign the resolutions, must have
seen them, and there is no proof before the country
that he has ever abrogated his agency in their pre
paration. Again—Mr. Jones knew, that subsequent
ly to the adoption and publication of those resolu
tions, (in 1820) Mr. B. was a candidate for, and
elected to Congress, under the principles enuncia
ted therein. How, then, any man can hazard his
political intelligence and honesty, and even his
moral integrity, by endorsing such a fraud, and pro
mulgating it among an unsuspecting people, not
only strikes me with amazement, but will fill many
an honest mind with virtuous indignation against its
utterer, and profound contempt for its author.
This fraud, too, has been exposed, and the people
of Georgi are beginning to utter their condemna
tion of the men who would thus attempt to gull and
deceive them. Mr. Jones must have known he was
misrepresenting the record in that speech of his.
The Eighth Congressional District teems with it,
under your frank, and your constituents expect that
you, us soon as you ascertain that you have been
imposed upon by that much, at least, of Mr. J.’s
speech, will boldly come out with the acknowledg
ment, aud thus repair u wrong you may have been
the unwilling instrument in circulating.
In my next, I will notice a few other points in
Mr. J.’s remarkable speech. dec.
Fillmore Medina in Wilke*.
Washington, Aug. 5, 1850.
Pursuant to a call for a meeting of the friends of
Fillmore, to bear an address from Col. L. Lamar, a
lurge concourse of people met in the Court-House
to-day.
On the ringing of the beli there was a rush made,
and in about five minutes the Court room whs full—
the gallery as well as below.
I>. G. Cottiog, Esq., being called to the Chair, in
troduced the speaker.
Col. Lamar stated that he appeared before the au
dience in consequence of an invitation to address
the friends of Fillmore and Do nelson, and if this
was the Fillmore crowd of Wilkes county he was
proud to meet them, 6lc. If there were other than
Fillmore men present, he was glad to see them too,
although he had prepared himself only for meeting
the friends of Fillmore. He should have naught to
say of the Democratic candidates but what he can
didly believed to be the truth, and should say but
little of that; but lie should try and lay the claims of
Millard Fillmore before them for the Presidency.
He should have [naught to say of the Democratic
platform, except on one or two resolutions.
He contended that the “ Squatter Sovereignty ”
principle was one that we at the South had always
opposed; that it was an abolition movement, and
that all who advocated this principle should be look
ed upon with distrust. lie contended that Mr. Bu
chanan endorsed this principle, and, of consequence,
those who supported him endorsed it too, &.c. Col.
Lamar continued his remarks about one hour, inter
rupted by an occasional applause, to a very atten
tive audience.
After he closed, a few (Buchanan men, we sup
pose,) called for Mr. Pope. Responsive to the call
Mr. Pope acknowledged his willingness and readiness
to speak, but on the representation of two or three
of his own party and of the Fillmore party, that this
was a meeting intended simply for a calling together
of the friends ol Fillmore, and that the speaker was
invited to meet such a crowd only, he very proper
ly and courteously declined speaking. Arrange
ments were made, however, tor a discussion between
Messrs. Pope and Lamar, to come off sometime after
next week.
Justice to Col. L. demands that we should state
that he said he would meet Mr. Pope then, but his
friends, aware that this was altogether ail unexpect
ed call, and that the illness of a member of Col. L.’s
family demanded his return home to-day, thought it
proper to have a set time for the discussion, lather
than to have it come oil’to-day.
Mr. Editor, I have thus given you a brief ac
count of this meeting, for several good reasons. I
think. One is that there was a great crowing made
over the Fillmore party of Wilkes a short time ago,
in which its numerical strength was set down as
“ sixteen ,” and a communication in the Buchanan
organ (Wilkes Republican) appeared which we pre
sume the writer thought would entirely annihilate
this small squad of poor felloies, “who knowing
their duty dared to do it.’’ This communication
brought forth a rejoinder, showing from what sort of
Americans we wished to be distinguished, and
from the fluttering and splurging made in ti e
‘covey of doves,” even at this late day, we are in
clined to the opinion that some of them iccre icinged.
In closing, Mr. Editor, permit me to say, we have
“ nailed our colors to the mast,” and we intend to
give Fillmore and Donelson a majority in Wilkes at
the next election. C.
For the Chronicle <s• Sentinel.
Mu. Editor :—An official, signing himself “Thos
R. R Cobb. Reporter S. C. G.,” finds in my letter
addressed to the Chronicle 4* Sentinel “a very sin
gular misstatement,” which lie takes it upon him
self “as an officer,” to correct, just to do justice to
Judge McDonald and th** Court.
My mistake arose from supposing that a bill to in
crease the pay of the Judges, which was introduced
at the late session of the Legislature, had passed
both branches, whereas, it 6eems it passed only one.
It was currently reported at the time, that Governor
McDonald would not accept, unless the salary
should be increased, and the Court should be ex
cused from riding all over the State. I even con
sulted two gentlemen of the Bar upon this point
before sending my letter to the press, who thought
my statement correct. That must be a very singu
larly constituted mind, which can find anything
very singular in an error thus naturally accounted
for, especially as this functionary himself says that
the things I supposed had been done, ought to have
been done.
As to my “object, . with which this functionary
says he has nothing to do, it was simply to point out
a flagrant political injustice done to Judge McDon
ald, and through him to the State Rights Democrats
of Georgia, by the Cobb faction, in defeating him
for the Senate against an overwhelming majority of
the rank and file of the party. No judicial station,
with any amount of salary, can atone for that act.
"The Reporter” thinks the expenses of the Judg
es increased, “as City Hotels are more expensive
than village boarding-houses.” It may be a fact,
that when the Courts sat at more points than now,
the Judges always had the benefit of “cheap vil
lage boarding-houses, whereas now they must in
variably incur the high charges of “City Hotels.”
It may be a fact, too, that the excess of the charges
at "City Hotels” averages the savings in travelling
to fewer points. The Reporter may have these im
portant and interesting facts his own way. This
calculation of picayunes I shall leave to him. I
stand corrected upon the single point of an increased
salary. S. Fouche.

our friends in Georgia would reflect for one mo
ment upon the fact, that the Democratic party have
a “National Democratic Committee,” composed of
men from every State in t.; ■ Cnion, backed by

that they are “ flooded with Democratic docu

what little fortune we have iu keeping pace with ,
the “National Democratic Committee. We have a

principally of private gentlemen «»t this District.— J
But we are without funds, only as we contribute it.
If the election is to go as the quantity of docu

assuredly. But, I have hoped, that the people would j
take this matter into their own hands, and, disre- j
garding alike the dictation of party leaden?, and the j

Flection in Louisville.
The Louisville Journal of the sth iust., has the
following notice of the election in that city :
The Election Yesterday W r e are called upon
to chronicle au unparalleled victory ot the American j
party in the city and county election yesterday.— ,
The ‘result so far as heard from, shows a gain upon
the American majority last year of five hundred and
nineteen votes. There* was by no means a full Ame
rican vote brought out either iu the city or in the
countv. Early in the day it was ascertained that
the American ticket was so far ahead-that our op
ponents would never be able to catch un, and there
was no effort made to bring up a full American
vote.
The election was the most peaceful aud quiet one
that has ever been known iu Louisville, There
was not a single fight or even a cross word toward
those coming up to vote. Every voter had au op
port unitv to vote, and we presume that our oppon
ents polled all the votes that they could caminaud in
the city. All their newspapers united in assuring
their friends that there would be ample opportunity
to vote, which was entirely true, and urged the
Sag Niclits one and all to* deposite their votes.—
The vicinity of all the polls yesterday was as quiet
as a May morning, and every legal voter who pro
sented himself was allowed to vote without the
slightest opposition.
The result is truly gratifying to the American
party. It is also au earnest of what we will do in
November for Fillmore and Doneisou.
North Alabama Moving.
The North Alabamain furnishes the following ac
count of a great ratification meeting at Decatur :
Saturday last was a proud day lbr the American
party of North Alabama ! With but short notice,
aud no drumming, one of the largest political gath
erings that we have ever seen in Alabama, (where
the call was of a one-sided character,) assembled at
the Big Spring, near Decatur, on that day. Hunts
ville was represented by her Fillmore Club, with
appropriate banners, aud hundreds of her citizens
beside. Limestone had a strong delegation. Law
rence was there in force, and Franklin was well rep
resented. A large number of ladies were also pres
ent, and from the earnest attention with which they
listened to the speakers, we came to the conclusion
that they were all Americans. There may have been
some "aunties" 1 among them, but they were certain
ly not a#/;-Americans!
* Col. Clemens’ speech was a master effort—sur
passing, far, any political address that it was ever
our fortune t«* hear. Chaste, elegant, burning,
withering, sublime and pathetic by turns, the listen
er would one moment find the tears, unbidden,
trickling down his cheeks, although unused to the
“melting mood!*’the next he would find himself
stamping and clapping his hands, and anon, he
would feel a strung inclination to shout—and shout
many did!
But we expect to publish this speech in full next
week—and we can assure our readers that it will
read well —they will lose little of Sts force from re
ceiving it “second hand.”
Judge Brian's speech was also of a kind and
equality which you do not hear often. He is of a
class ot orators peculiar, we believe, to Tennessee.
Strong good souse, quaint humor, with occasional
bursts of fervid, heart-emanating eloquence and
pathos, were so mingled in his remarks, that the
most captious bad to admit his genius.
Mr. Bilbo is a dashing orator. With an almost
unbounded command of iauguage, an inexhaustible
fund of “facts and figures" always at hand, and any
tiiiug but au “ amiable weakness” for Sag Nichtism,
lie spares not its defenders and partisans. But we
have not* the time nor space to dwell further upon
the jubilee of Saturday at present.
Fillmore in Massachusetts.—The Boston cor
respondent of the New York Journal of Commeice,
(a Buchanan paper,) iu his letter of the 29tb ultimo,
says :
The prospects of Mr. Fillmore are growing better
iu this State. His Albany speech has caused many
to pause and to ask themselves how, as patriots and
Christians, they can consent to vote for a candidate
nominated by oue-liaif of the States of the Union,
and with a party whose acts and words tend to di
vide and (may we not shv) destroy our happy coun
try. It is evident that mauy, perhaps the majority,
ol the people of Massachusetts are not yet sure how
they will vote. They are in au inquiring state, aud
if some of our old and tried patriots would now
speak for the country, fori he whole country, it is
believed a majority at least of the people of Massa
chusetts would be induced to vote for men nomina
ted by National Conventions and of patriotic prin
ciples. The only question of importance now be
fore the country is, the Union, the Constitution and
the laws. That was the question of the last Presi
dential canvass, and the mass were found to be
sound on it, as we have no doubt they will be in the
pending contest. A National, a Union man, the
people of this country demand, and such a man
they will elect. *
A Fillmore Movement in Massachusetts.—A
Fillmore State Convent ion will be held in Boston on
the 29th of August, for the purpose of nominating
Electors and a Fillmore ticket for State officers.—
The Boston Courier copies the call, and says :
The above call comprehends all the men who arc
in favor of the election of Millard Fillmore as Pres
ident of the United States, and it should be respond
ed to by men outside of “the order,” as well as
those within it. In' New York, a very large portion
of the most respectable merchants, clerks, mechan
ics, manufacturers, ship-owners and ship-builders,
have declared their preference for Mr. Fillmore as a
candidate for President, and Boston should do the
same thing without regard to consequences.
Another Powerful Accession to Fillmore.
—The Philadelphia Inquirer , the organ of the
Straight Whigs, and a very influential journal, has
a strong article in favor of Mr. Fillmore. We
quote :
One thing, at least, is certain—the election of Mil
lard Fillmore to the Chief Magistracy of the Repub
lic would be a national blessing. He has been tried,
and he has realized the highest expectations, even
of his warmest friends. lit; is lor the Union as it is
—he is for peace and all its priceless blessings—lit
is for the Constitution and all the Laws—and, like
the immortal Clay. “ he would rather be right than
be President.”
Yellow Fever in Charleston.—Tin Charles
ton Evening News of Saturday, states : It will be
seen that the Board of Health reports one death,
that of a seaman, from yellow fever, in the Marine
Hospital, with several other suspected cases. We
understand that there are cases of yellow fever,
both.in the Marine and Roper Hospital. They have
all, except one, been traced to importation. It is
too early to decide whether the disease lias assumed
or will assume an epidemical form. A few days
will decide.
The Charleston papers contain the following re
port of the City Register :
Office ok Board of Heath, )
Sunday Night, 10 P. M. \
The Board of Health report one death from Yel
low Fever at the Marine Hospital since last report,
and that there now exists two cases in the Marine
Hospital, one in the Roper Hospital, and three in
the city. J. L. DAWSON, M. D , C. R.
Yellow Fever iii Charleston*
Office of Board of Health, >
Monday Night, 10 o’clock. )
The Board of Health report one death from yel
low fever in the Marine Hospital, and one in the
City, for the past twenty four hours, —and no in
crease in the number of eases.
J. L. DAWSON, M. D., City Register.
The Mercury of this, Thursday, morning appends
the following remarks:
There Is no evidence, us yet, that the disease is
epidemic. The Board of Health promptly announc
ed tlie existence of Yellow Fever in the city, and
the public may rely that no authentic informa
tion will be withhelu or concealed from them.—
Thus the precise amount of material for anxiety or
sympathy will be furnished every morning by the
press.
In the meantime, let us 3av that the best remedies
for sickness are courage and humanity. More than
half the ills that follow in the train of disease spring
from the anxious fears by which people exaggerate
its dangers, not only rendering themselves more
liable to its attacks, and lees capable of enduring
them, but inducing them to shrink from the offi
ces of kindness and humanity, which in such
seasons become a necessary part of the duty of
every good citizen. People thus anxious, if they
sicken themselves, die from fear. If others sicken
around them, they let them die from the same feel
ing. Three-fourths of the deaths in epidemics re
sult from terror and neglect. Taken by itself, and
under fair circumstances, Yellow Fever has been
proved in Charleston to be oue of the least fatal of
diseases.
The Administration and Kansas. —The Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ameri
can,, furnishes tLe following key to the recent
movement of the Administration in reference to
Kansas:
“It is pretty well decided to recede in the whole
Kansat business. The Administration has been
importuned from various quarters to _ retrace ita
steps, recall its agents, and abandon its poncy.
Without the adoption of some su f ;h radical course
defeat is considered inevitable. There is a serious
panic, which has reached the west end of ashing
ton. The first Blunge was made when Shannon
was thrown overboard, without even a lite-pre
server. It is not difficult to take the others.—
A majority of the Cabinet are inclined to the release
of the prisoners in Kansas, and the President is by
no means indisposed to such a course. Both have
been greatlv deceived by the officials m Kansas, and
bv the agitators in Jli-soun who confederated with
them. But light begins to dawn. Judge Leeompt.
and the C. S. District Attorney. Mr. Isaacs, are both
doomed. Thev are accused of benut engaged m
speculations, and the evidence of this and other
charges is said to be sufficient to satisfy the Execu
tive that thev should be displaced. As soon as pro
per successors can be found the changes will doubt
less be made, unless the President s mind should
undergo a sudden transition, if this course had
been taken six months ago, much mischief might
Lave been prevented, and much sectional discord
saved. Bnt it is never too late to do good % The
remedy, though late, may y fc t be serviceable.
Have Southern men forgotten the fact that Mr.
Pierce has appointed three Governors for Kansas
—all from the free Stales ? It i* a curious fact in
the history of Kansas anairs, yet not the less a fact.
Mr. Stephens said he sent Reeder there to make
Kansas a free- State. Whether true or not, 'and
we do not think Mj. Stephens would have made
such a declaration without some evidence of the
fact,) it looks very suspicious—when in three ap
pointments he select one man from a
Southern State. What think Southern men of these
facts ? Thev are certainly worthy of mature reflec
tion. *
Treats with the Creek Indians.— The Creek

Kentucky Election.
A very curious anomaly has presented itself in
the last local election throughout Kentucky. Iu
• very few instances have the Democrats run one of
, their number iu any county where the majority was
. against them, but a great many independent Ame
rican and Wuig candidates have been in the field in
;.Ii the American strongholds. The Democrats have
already commenced claiming the foremost candi
dates, whether Whig or American, and it is very
well that they should neve a crumb of comfort, as
in November there will not be a grease-spot left
them. The American Order has been charged
with introducing party politics iuto the judicial elcc
. tious. The recent election shows this to be false.— j
in several of the judicial districts, in which there is ,
beyond doubt a large American majority, the Arne- j
, rican party declined to nominate candidates for ju
dicial offices, and the Americans have cast their j
votes in the election without any reference whatever
j to parties.
liilst such has been the course of the American j
. party, the Democrats have invariably voted iu solid j
: columns for one of their own number. This has
been most evident in the contest between Duvall i
i und Marshall. The Americans had no nominee in j
the field. The Democrats to a in.an have voted for
Duvall, aud the Americans having no nomination to
bind them, have not only in part voted for Duvall,
but a prominent membei of our party, from personal
. considerations, has electioneered for him throughout
the district. Consequently in a district which last
year gave Morehead 1,6011 majority, Judge Duvall
i is doubtless elected, and the Democrats have the ira
j pudence to claim this as a great falling oft from the
j American party. \\ e can assure our friends every
where that such is not the case; the Democrats have
j j tolled their entire strength, whilst our party, not
j considering it a party contest, have divided their
| votes between the candidates, and thousands have
j not voted at all.
I In Judge Kincbeloe’s district a member of the
American party was an independent candidate
j against him. Though we have there 2,600 majority
the Americans would not make a nomination, ft
was not a party vote. Judge Kincheloe is a Whig
and a supporter of Mr. Fillmore. Doubtless the
Democrats will also claim a very large gain iu thut
district, as the race bids fair to be very close ; but
j we presume they will entirely overlook such iu
i stances as Marion county, where the independent
j candidate for sheriff, supported by the Americans,
has beaten the regular Democratic nominee iu
the county in which Clark beat Morehead 740 votes.
Judge Tryor was not nominated by the Ameri
can party, but ran as un independent candidate
against the regular nominee of the Democrats. -His
district went for Clark last year and It was to be
presumed that he would be beaten, if, as they have
done, that panv should uniformly sustain their
nominee.
Iu the Mason district our opponents have claimed
the foremost of two Whigs, who were i mining for
circuit judge, and doubtless would hive claimed the
other if he had been successful. In Hart countv
two II hiffs were candidates for clerk, and we shall
doubtless find the Anties claiming the successful
candidate. In Judge Goodloes district, the Ameri
can party held a convention and declined to nomi
nate a candidate for Judge. Goodloe became an in
dependent candidate for re-election. Capt. Hawes,
u Whig, was also an independent candidate, but
finding that he would be defeated, he withdrew and
left the course clear to Goodloe. If Capt. Hawes
had continued a candidate, although Goodloe is a
• member ot the American order, we should have
found the Democrats proclaiming his success, as an
independent candidate, to be an anti-American tri
umph.
Tiie party lines have been strictly drawn iu very
few counties in the State. Wherever this has been
been done there have been large gains for the Ame
rican party. There have been more Whig candi
dates in the field than Democrats. That there shall
be no misapprehension on the part of our friends
elsewhere, we tell them that this election cannot
show the relative strength of the parties, and that
however great a gain the Democrats may claim and
chuckle over, Our party is stronger by many thou
sands than it was fast August, and in November we
will give an overwhelming majority for Fillmore and
Do nelson.
Great Exoitemeul nt Quarantine, New York.
The New York Tribune, of the 9th inst, states:
There are now lying in Quarantine some 120 sail of
vessels, most of which are from ports where the yel
low fever existed, at the time of their sailing, or
usually does at this season of the year. AH persons
engaged in these vessels are obliged to land at the
Health Officer’s wharf, and thence they pass out of
tlu* gates into the village, or come up to the city, as
they may wish. In consequence of this 10080“ ar
rangement, a number of fatal cases of yellow fever
have occurred outside the walls, and still continue
to occur.
In consequence of this state of affairs, the inhab
itants of Tompkinsville (Quarantine) have held a
meeting and formed a Vigilance Committee, whose
fluty 11 shall be to preveut all persons from passing
out of the gates into the village, and obliging all
those employed inside to remain inside. They are
resolved that, if necessary, they will barricade the
gates, or use such other means to carry out their ob
ject as shall be deemed proper, in justice to them
selves, their iumilies, and the inhabitants generally.
The gatekeeper died, and was buried at 5 o'clock
on Friday morning. His wife died last week.
The Health Officer at the Quarantine, under the
color of law, some two 01 three weeks since, order
ed several infected vessels to anchor in Graves End
Bay, a small bay between Coney Island and Fort
Hamilton. The people on the shore, if uot alarmed
were certainly not satisfied with these strange ves
sels, moored within three quatters of a mile of their
dwellings, and respectfully remonstrated with 0111
Board of Health, urging that the vessels should be
anchored in the lower Bay according to law “inside
ot S indy Hook.” Major Morris, the commanding
officer at Fort Hamilton, addressed a communica
tion to Mayor Wood upon the subject, but the ves
sels were not removed, nor are they yet removed.—
Several deaths have occurred in the Fort and in the
neighborhood, and from the best information we can
obtain, these cases were all yellow fever. Dr. Bai
ley the Surgeon of the post, who has had experience
at \ era Cruz and in other southern ports, so pro
nouuced them. 1
Fillmore Meeting in Oglethorpe.
111 accordance with a short notice, a respectable
number of the Fillmore men of Oglethorpe county
met iu the Court House on Tuesday, August sth,
and upon motion for purposes ol organization, Dr
ib 11. Hanson was called to the Chair, and F. J.
Robinson and G. H. Lester were requested to act as
Secretaries.
On motion ol h. L. Upson, Esq., a Committee of
ten were appointed for the purpose of reporting
resolutions, «sec., consisting of tin* following gentle
men, to-wit: Messrs. F. L. Upson, Maxwell, Har
groves. Ogle vie, Wootten, Dillard, Eberhart, Hig
gins, Platt and Dozier.
On motion, E. C. Shackelford was added to the
Committee.
The Committee retired and reported the following
resolutions, which, after an interesting address
from their chairman, were unanimously received
and reported, to-wit:
Resol red, That we regard the state of the country
with deep concern, and feel that it needs the servi
ces of its ablest statesmen to restore to it internal
peace, and that Millard Fillmore is the best of all
the candidates now before the people to secure this
desirable object; and that having tried him and
found him faithful to the Constitution, we believe, if
re-elected, he will again prove true.
Resolved , That, in our judgment, there are
to Mr. Buchanan insuperable objections, in his
Federalism—iu his opinions as set forth in his San
ford letter, as to the powers of the General Govern
ment over the Territories—in his Squatter Sove
reignty doctrine declared in his letter of accept
ance—in his Lancaster resolutions—and in the
words of General Jackson, “his want of relia
bility.”
Resolved, That for these reasons, and others, we
prefer Messrs. Fillmore mid Donelson. and will
give to them, in the coming contest, a hearty sup
port.
R> solved, That we invite all Conservative men,
without distinction of party, whether they be Whigs
or Democrats, to rally to the support of Messrs.
Fillmore and Donelson, as they are, in our opin
ion, the only national candidates now before, the
people for the Presidency and Vice Presidency.
E. C. Shackelford, Esq., offered the following re
solutions, to Wit :
Resolved , That this meeting resolve itself into a
Fillmore Club, to lie known as the Oglethorpe Fill
more Club, and that the officers of this meeting be
the permanent officers of the same.
Resolved, That the officers consist of a President
and four Vice Presidents, Secretaries and Treasu
rer, an Executive Committee of thirty-six, three
from each malitia district in this county.
Resolved , That this Club be subject to the call of
the President, and in his absence any one of the Vice
Presidents, and that the three committee men of the
town district act as a Central Committee for the
county.
On motion, the Chronicle & Sentinel and South
ern Recorder, are requested to publish these pro
ceedings. as well as all other papers in Georgia, fa
vorable to the election of Fillmore and Donelson.

Fillmore in East Tennessee.—We are permit
ted (says the Nashville Banner) to make the follow
ing extract from a private letter from upper East
Tennessee, written by a member of the last Legis
lature, and a gentleman wed posted in regard to the
slate of things in that region, to a friend in this
city:
“ Fillmore stock is at a high premium here. This
side the mountains will give Fillmore a larger vote
tlmii was ever given to any Whig or American ticket
in the same locality. Mark the prediction. There
will be larger gains in East Tennessee for Fillmore.
Buchanan’s friends are mad. ‘Ten-cent Jimmy’ is
no where in this race up in the mountains.”
A Sensible Man .—AII old man who has tried the
“Regular Old Line” Democratic party faithfully,
thus writes to the Hartford.C'oK rant. Thousand aof
others entertain similar views, having left the pre
sent sham-democracy in the same way, and identi
fied themselves with the Fillmore party :
I acknowledge that for more than forty years of
my past life I have been barking up the old' Demo
cratic tree, sometimes loud and long, like thousands
of my fellows around me, ignorant of what I was
yelping at. A little more than a year past I dis
covered that the trunk of that old tree was hollow,
its roots rotten, and that there was danger iu re
maining longer under its decayed brauches, and
escaped “by the skin of my teeth.”
Imprisonment for Debt.—Mr. Fillmore has
been charged by the Democratic organs with being
in favor of imprisonment for debt. The NashviUe
Patriot says: We have before us a biography of
Mr. Fillmore, which shows that he took ground
against imprisonment for debt upon his first en
trance into public life, in 1829. He was at that time
chosen a member of the New York Legislature, and
his biographer says, speaking of the legislation of
the session, it was mostly due to Mr. Fillmore’s ef
forts that a bill to abolish imprisonment for debt
teas at this time urged through the legislature .”

Our market throughout the week ha* been uniformly
steady, but very quiet. Spinners and exporters have
daily operated to a fair extent, the latter chietiy in East
India descriptions, in which a largo business has boon
done. Cotton has been offered freely, and prices re
main without ulteratlon, but lower qualities are rather
easier. There is no change to notice in Sea Island, Bra
ail, or Egyptian. Knrats have sold largely for export and
command oxtromo price*. To-day the sales are estimated
at 7,000 bales, 1,000 being on speculation and for export.
The market is steady but devoid of animation. The.
advice* per Asia were not calculated to stimulate our
market ; in addition to which the weather here has been
very unsettled, aud more rain has fallen than is agreea

OHROWIO DIARRHEA.
rpnKKE Is certainly no disease requiring so mu h
J[ nicety in treatment a* Chronic Diarrhea—no di°ea»e
that Is so easily aDd quickly ro-produced from th* slight
cst of causes and no disease that has so often baffled the
skill of the wisest and most experienced men of the pro
fession. Thousands tbore are at this moment that are
suffering from it, and have been for months, and perlia]**
years; evon tho returned volunteer x’rom tho war* of
Mexico, or adventurers from the plain* of California, al
though the di ease was contracted long months ago, yet
are stiiUufforing from it, although a long way removed
from tho pestilential atmosphere and other causes that
produted it. Thousands there are all throughout tho
South. Houthwest and Wert, and in fact throughout the
whole United States, that arc suflVnng from I-. '■'■.-t
aged and disheartened, and »na:ij l-*t to ail hope of ever
getting rid . fit, sad why »- this i why all th > uffwri ..
and discouragement t why so littlo mi* cos# .i> .ti tr**.

cause, after It ha i o.ioo beet mo choc-*d i L r »» oi .»< r a
total disregard, or un tuf-iro Ignorance of it* uceiu .< '■ - •
and continuance. What is that cause l Tne f>odt;,u‘. n
taken into the stomach. Why? Bc-cati-w the dLo.Jilv
organ* are not in a tit condition to receive and digest J; .
and why Y Because of the congested aud Inflamed co«
dition of their mucus membrane.
The great majority of thoso long continued chronic
case* of Diarrhea are produced either by the food in a
partly or wholly undigested state passing from the
stomach Into the lower bowels, and there je oduciog by
its proaonce an irritation of the . ucus membrane ot the
bowels, and their consequent muscular contraction, or
It is produced by the food after It has boon manufactured
into chile; this latter, Instead of beiug taken up by the
lacteal vessels is passed on into the lower bowel*, aud like
the undigested food, produces an Irritative diarrhea. In
tho Hi st Instance, tho stomach, from its inflamed and con
gested condition is unable to porfortn its lunations, is on
able to digest the food that is taken into it. and the food
not being digested or prepared so that it can on cr thecir
culatiou must of necessity bo passed on through the
bowels, and its presence there acting a* any other foreign
substance would, produces au irritation of the mucus
membrane with which it comes in contact, aud the con
sequences are premature and debilitating discharge*
from the bowels by contractile effort being excited into
action.
In the second Instance, whon the food has boon digest
ed and converted into chile, the diarrhea is produced by ’ w
thechilo; it not being taken up by tho lacteal ve - ol; ;• \
passed on into tho lower bowel.-, aud by its pr- oner w,
there product'* the same disturbance as that caused
by the undigested food. Why is tho chile not taken up
by the lactoal vessels ? It will bo remembered that in
previous advertisements, th t I described how tho upper
bowel, called tho duodenum, had its side pierced with in
numerable small oritioos, resembling in some degree the
side* of a nutmeg grater—that these orifices were mouth*
of small vessels caJled lacteal*, and that the office of
these vessels was to take up the food after it had been,
by the stomach passed iuto the upper bowel, converted
iuto chile. It will be remembered that I said that the
lining membrane of tho stomach and bowels also dipped
into these little orifices or mouths ot the lacto&l vessel ,
and lined them also. And it will also bo remembered that
1 said that these little orifices were very small If all
these points are remembered It will now bo very easy
to understand why the food after being converted iuto
chile is not taken up and carried into tho blood to uour
ish the body, as it should be. I have said that the mucus
membrane of tho digostivo organs was In an inflamed
and congestive condition, and every ouo knows that
wherever there is inflammation tho re Is more or loss
smiling of tho part Inflamed, aud it is very easy to t,ee
that there could not be much swelling of that lining mem
brano without closing up those little orifice* which open
upon it. So the reason is now obvious why the chile Is
not taken up and passed into the circulation; it is be
cause the vessel* whose office it is to take up the chile,
are closed from the swelling of tlic mucus membrane of
the digestive organ*. Into which they open, and the swell
ing is produced by congestion and inflammation of that
membrane. What lias produced this inflamed state of
that mucus membrane ? Causes almost without num
ber will produce it—pestilential atmosphere, bad water,
unwholesome diet, stimulating food, spiritous' liquors,
stimulating condiments, pepper, mustard, cloves, spice.,
Ac., Ac., will produce this condition of that mucus men
bran o.
Now, will any one say that in the treatment of (Jhronlc
Diarrhea our remedial remedies must be directed to tli*
bowels? No. Where then ? To the true scat of tho
disease, of course, viz: the digestive organs. In these
organs is tho cause of the whole trouble, and to this point
must our remedial agents be directed, or our patients may
take medicine’till Gabriel blows his horn, and thou be
no nearer being cured than they were when they com
mencod treatment
What then are the indications of treatment? The re
moval of the congested and inflamed condition of the di
gestivo organs. This being done the food will bo di
gested and formed into chile —the chilo will be taken and
carried into tho circulation, and thus the cause* of the lr
ritative diarrhea being no longer present, the premature
discharges from the bowels will cease.
What remedy will best fulfill their indications ? Shall
we use any ot the. preparations now before the people,
purporting to bo “sovereign remedies ?” No; for the
most of them aro prepared with alcohol, or other equally
stimulating liquid*, and the taking of them would be
adding fuel to the flame —they would produce precisely
that same condition that wo art' striving to get rid of.
Shall we use Calomel, which remedy, now adays,
stands in highest estimation by the learned of the pro
fession? No; fornothiug certainly can be more pornl
clous, not only from Its breaking down the plasticity of
the blood, destroying the blood globules, the strength
and very life of man, thereby preventing the inherent
power* of the body to readily repair the mischief inflict
od, but by producing by contact a direct irritation on an
already over excited and highly irritated membrane—
the mucus membrane of the stomach and bowels. What
remedy shall wo use then t So far u* ray own expo
riouce extends, I unhesitatingly say, that preparation
bearing tho name of “BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REME
DY”—a remedy that I have used for year* in ray private
practice, not only in this particular disease, but all others
arising from disease of the digestive organ*, and if taken
closely, according to it* accompanying directions, 1 an*
positive that it will not fail iu effecting a cure, for 1 have
used it repeatedly in those very worst cases of Chronic
Diarrhea contracted in Mexico and California, aud Ido
not remember a single instance in which it failed to effect
a cure. Its action will be found different in different
cases —in somo cases, it will not only relieve at once, but
effect a permanent cure almost immediately—in other*
it will seem to give the same relief in a very shr rt time,
but requiring a longer continuance to effect a permanent
euro—iu others, perhaps, no appreciable, abatement of
symptoms will be discovered for several days, but by
persevering in the treatment, it sooner or later has the
desired effect.
It will be understood that I am speaking oi Chronic
Diarrhea- —Diarrhea of long standing, and which has it
origin in diseased digestive organs, and not of the acute
form of the disease, for in this form I should most certainly
r,•commend 11 JACOB’S CORDIAL”as being the bent
preparation now before the people, and one too that can
bo relied upon with the most unbounded confidence. The
two diseases aro entirely dissimilar and proceed from
entirely different causes—the acute form is a discs •>
purely of the bow r els —the chronic form is a disease of the
digestive organs, and to which our remedial agents must
bo directed. W. W. BLISS,

present on that occasion Tho healthful location of the
Institution, the freedom of this region from epidemic*
and malignant diseases, tho salubrity of the climate and
the facilities for reaching the place from almost every di
