uLijrontcic & Sentinel PUBLISHED DAILY - AND WEEKLY, BY W. S. JONES. SUNDAY HIOBN’O) DEC. 2, 1860. What Will Y ou Do * The answers to this question by many of our ardent, impulsive and patriotic fellow-citizens, re mind us very much of the poor young man who was going to marry, was determined on it. and would not be dissuaded. Every body says now that we have suffered grievances, wrongs, intolerable insults in this government —that these can no longer be patiently borne, and that we will resist for and on account of them. To the question what shall Georgia do in refer ence to these continuous, persistent and increas ingly aggravated assaults, the reply usually is, secede. Very well; but what then ? This is the question to which we wish to call the attention of thoughtful people. When men first answer se cede, they are debarred, unlike the poor young man, from returning the same answer to the next question. There are plenty of people ready to say secede— any number that think secession is the only remedy for all the ills we suffer in this government, whether naturally resulting from the action of the government, which we of the South have al most universally controlled since its foundation, or whether resulting from the action of individual States and the citizens thereof. But we want to know—and we suppose thinking people generally are somewhat inquisitive on the point—what Georgia is to do after she secedes. Is she to “go it blind,” or is sfie first to mature some plan of action/or herself , suited to any and all emergen cies which may arise, und prepare herself tlior oughly for whatever may happen ? Is she just to cut herself adrift from her sister States, and, “not to put too fine a point on it,” wait for something “ to turn up,” or will she not rather, with her ac customed wisdom, justice and moderation, organ ize for her own safety, tranquility and interest, some well considered system of foreign and do mestic policy V We may be answered that these are matters for the Convention of the 16th January to determine. Very truly; but in the meantime it will be come a free, a wise, a great people to cast about iu their own minds what they shall do when they leave tho Union. Nearly seventy-three years ago Georgia, a Sovereign State, of her own will, en tered the Confederacy by subscribing and agree iugto the Constitution. For all that long period she has been accustomed to manage her own internal policy in that manner which she believed best suited to advance the prosperity and happiness of her own people. She has, for all that time, been relieved, as a State, from the burden of looking after her own aud her sisters’ foreign affairs—she has had no treaties to make, no wars to declare, no peace to conclude, no eoinage to regulate, no imposts on foreign merchandise to levy, no ton nage duties to collect, no foreign ambassadors to appoint, no postal arrangements and post routes and mail contracts, at home or abroad, to look after. * Now, when Georgia severs her relations with the other States of the Republic, she will do it alone, by herself and for herself. She disdains to ask for, or to wait for, any co operation with any other Sovereignty. When she goes out of the Union, next January, she will be no longer a membe of a confederated Republic. She will be an Indepen dent State ; and while her internal organization may perhaps for a time go on safely under the old system, yet every man of common sense knows that there must necessarily be many matters of grave moment, in regard to both home and for eign affairs, which will demand the most earnest and serious consideration. When Georgia dissolves her connection with the other States, and with the Federal Government, being no longer one of a common Government having one elective chief magistrate for all, it will become her wisely and soberiy to consider whether the present mode of State Government will suit her people, and the exigencies of the times. She will have to consid er the ways aud means of maintaining herself, if need be, as a separate nation—she will have to consider matters of revenue and expenditure, of course on a much grander scale than now—she will have to consider questions of offensive and defensive alliance with other will have to look alter foreign importations, the coin age of money, the question perhaps of anew Confederacy, coast defences, harbor improve* ments, fortifications, armies and navies, and pos tal arrangements, foreign and domestic. All these matters must be looked to, and at* tended to, and that in the briefest period after dissolution ; and it therefore becomes our people, our leading men, our rulers, to mature some sys tem, and to enlighten the public in regard to it, before the secession occurs. It will not be wise and sound policy, as we imagine, to secede first, before popular consideration of some plan, and popular enlightenment in regard thereto. It is an easy matter enough to destroy this govern ment—it may be but the work of an hour—but it was not made in an hour. It cost blood, suffer ing, time, wisdom, patriotism aud treasure. — When the new government arises out of the ruins of the old, it too will cost all these things per haps —at least it will require time, patriotism, wisdom, and certainly a thorough preparation for all the rest. From Washington. The Washington correspondent of the Charles ton Mercury , under date of the 3Uthult., says: It is now certain that Secretary Cobb is to resign. He will leave the Cabinet in good feeling. The South ern members solicited him to remain, and to go at the same time with the Southern members of Congress, who, it is confidently expected, will bolt en masse. It is asserted in some quarters that Mr. Cobb will not resign, for a time, from motives of policy. A caucus of members of Congress from the border States will be held to-morrow, with the intention of having, at a subsequent time, a gene ral caucus of the Southern members to confer in relation to immediate secession. Vice-President Breckinridge arrived to-night. It is understood that he favors the proposed caucus. A dispatch dated the 27th, says : It is under stood here that immediately on the assembling of Congress next week, a caucus of the Southern men who intend to take their seats will be called —at least of the conservative portion of them— and the probability is that all the members will attend it, when the present condition of the coun try will be discussed, the grievances under which the South now suffers will be set forth, and some basis laid down for pacification and the settlement of all the difficulties which beset us. When these matters are in fair training, and the Southern members understand each other, the conservative members from the North will be invited to come into the caucus, and the whole business will be discussed in solemn council. From all that has been said here about this measure, it seems likely that a report upon the state of the country will be agreed upon, to be presented to Congress, and that it will recommend the calling of a Conven tion of all the States, to came to some arrangement whereby the differences can be finally settled and the negro kept out of politics in future. Hiclimond County Delegates. Mr. Editor :—lt is particularly desirable at this juncture to avoid engendering party spirit in the candidacy for the position of delegates to the Georgia Convention. This can only be done by having, if possible, but one ticket in the field from each county. Certainly, there are persons, in whose judgment and patriotism men of every shade of opinion can have confidence. It will not do to select such as have, in the expression of opinion, proceeded to extremes either way. This would create the evil we wish to avoid. All we want is ability, experience and loyalty to our sec tion. These are offices neither to be sought nor declined; and it is better to have men who are not distinguished for their love of office. It is better to have town and country represented to have all parties represented—and it is believed that the gentlemen named below fill all these re quirements. They are “without fear and without reproach;” and without knowing the sentiments of either of them, we are willing to trust the hon or and interests of our beloved State to their safe keeping. We propose— JOHN P. KING, CHAS. J. JENKINS, A. C. WALKER. Country. Greene County Delegates. Penfield, Nov. 20, 1860. Mk. Editor : —Please announce the following gentlemen as suitable candidates to represent the neople of old Greene in Convention at Mjlledge rille 16th January 1861, and oblige My’T Voters. Dr. N. M. CRAWFORD, R. J. DAWSON, psg., Pol. Y. P. KING. Letter Iron Gov. Hicks of Maryland— Refusal to Convene the Legislature— HlsY’lews on Secession. Executive Chamber, I Annapolis, Nov. 27,1860. f To Thomas G. Pratt, Spring Harwood, J. S. Franklin, N. H. Green, Llewellyn Boyle aniJ. Pinkney, Esqrs. Gentlemen :—On the 21st instant one of your number placed in my hand a memorial, signed by you, suggesting to me that the Legislature should be forthwith convened “to consider of the pre sent momentous crisis, and provide, if practicable, some remedy for the threatened danger.” Though the memorial presented no points which had not been carelully considered by me before its re ceipt, yet the respectable character of the signers secured for it my most respectful attention—and so far as my powers of thought and the engross ing nature of my official duties have enabled me, I have devoted myself anew to a fair, frank, ration al re-examination of the subject upon which I have had the honor to be thus addressed. This renewed consideration has not had the effect to alter my first impressions of the question, and I have to consider myself still unable to discover the necessity or the propriety of convening the Legislature of Maryland at this time. That the times are big with peril, Pknow and feel.—That the crisis devolves upon me fearful responsibilities and delicate and important duties, I am fully aware. That I am bound to meet those duties and responsibilities, I also know, and that I owe it to the good people of Maryland to decide with caution, and act with prudence, keeping in view their interests and safety, I feel sensibly. It is with a full view of all these considerations that I have arrived at my conclnsion in this matter. One of the prominent causes of the excitement now’ pervading the Southern States is the unfor tuuate result of the recent election, which has raised Mr. Lincoln to the Presidential Chair. Per sonally I was as much opposed to his election as was auy other man in the country, and so far as my influence could extend, I did all in my power to defeat him. But he has been constitutionally chosen at an election where we all presented our favorite candidates, aud the South is bound in honor to recognise and respect the result, as we would have required the North to do had either of the other candidates been elected. So far, then, as the cause of excitement is concerned, I cannot but think it without just foundation. Identified, as I am, by birth and every other tie with the South, a slaveholder, and feeling as warmly for my native State a3 any man can do, I am yet compelled by my sense of fair dealing and my respect for the Constitution of our country to declare that I see nothing in the bare election of Mr. Lincoln which would justify the South in taking any steps tending toward a separation of these States’ Mr. Lincoln being elected, I am willing to await further results. If he will ad minister the government in a proper and patriot ic manner, w e are all bound to submit to his ad ministration, much as we may have opposed his election. As an individual, I will very cheerfully sustain him in w r ell doing, because my suffering country will be benefitted by a constitutional administra tion of the government. If, on the contrary, he shall abuse the trust confided to him, I shall be found as ready aud determined as will any other man to arrest him in his wrong courses, and to seek redress of our grievances by any and all pro per means. The other chief cause of the excitement refer red to in your memorial in the unconstitutional and disgraceful acts of some Northern Legisla tures in passing laws virtually nullifying the positive provisions of the Constitution in refer ence to fugitive slaves. There cau be uo two opinions iu Maryland as to the outrageous char acter of these acts, for Maryland has been a con stant sufferer from them, and has lost more of this description of property than all the extreme Southern States combined. Strongly insulting to the Southern States, they are in the plainest op position to the decisions of the highest Court aud the letter of the Constitution which these Legis lators have sworn to support. But, gentlemen, these law's do not, iu my judgment, express the opinions of the great conservative masses of the North. W*e know that there are very many sound, Union loving men at the North, who are utterly opposed to these fanatical measures, passed by demagogues who have been temporarily placed in power by the agitation of the slavery question. But the sober second thought of the masses, which raiely fails to arrive at right conclusions, will, I firmly trust, secure the repeal of these laws, now that their attention has been so dis tinctly draw r n to their evil effects. Already w r e see for their repeal have been made in the Legislatures now in session, and we are informed that similar propositions will be in troduced into all of them when they meet. Let us be careful not to weaken the hands of these conservatives bj adopting ultra measures at the South, which always aid the Northern fanatics, who can only exist by the agitation of the slavery question. Shall not that conservative class have some kindly consideration at our hands? or shall we regard ouly the ultraists, North and South, until they shall crush out all hope of perpetuating our glorious Union ? I cannot but believe that the convening of the Legislature in an extra session at this time would only have the effect of increasing and reviving the excitement now pervading the country, and now apparently on the decline. It would at once be heralded by the sensitive newspapers and alarm ists throughout the country as evideuce that Ma ryland had abandoued all hope of the Union and was preparing to join the traitors to destroy it. Is such the true position or wish of Maryland V I think I have had very full opportunities oi learn ing the wishes of the people upon this question, aud I have no hesitation in declaring it as my opinion that an immense majority, of all parties, are decidedly opposed to the assembling of the Legislature at this time. Memorials similar to that w'hich you present have been in circulation for some time, but I have thus lar received but one, aisd that} signed only bv six names, although I learn it, has been presented to the people of the city generally for their signatures. The wishes of the people should certainly be respected in this mattei, and their silence, under the circumstances, shows that they see no such necessity for immedi ate action. To my mind, difficulties multiply as we proceed with the consideration of this subject. The Constitution of the State prescribes bien * uial sessions of the Legislature of limited length, | and authority is given to the Governor to convene • the Legislature only on extraordinary occasions. If I were to do so now it would be necessary to harrass the people in some parts of the State, just relieved from au excitiug canvass, with elections to fill vacancies, at an uuusual and inclement sea son. Any session of the Legislature would be very expensive, but an extra session, of unlimited length , would be especially so, unless the exam pie of tho last session of this body, which almost emptied the State Treasury, would serve as some restraint. You, gentlemen, favor an extra session only because of the importance of the present crisis ; but there are others who thiuk'of their own intei ests rather than those of the State, who would be fonnd seeking to monopolize the valuable time of the body in furthering schemes of personal ad vantage, which can well afford to await the meet ing at the regular session. You speak, gentlemen, of Maryland’s peculiar position as a border slave State. That position, between the extremes of North and South, seems, thus far, to have kept sectionalism from hercoun cils, and to have inclined her people to moderate measures- Hut there are other border slave States as much interested in these questions as Maryland can be, which ought to be consulted be fore we take the initiative in this matter. I believe that neither Kentucky, Tennessee, nor Missouri has taken auy such action. The Legis lature of the great State of Virginia, which has been called together to take action as to her works of internal improvements, will have these matters under their consideration ; and it seems only wise aud proper to await the desision of our nearest Southern sister, rather than run the risk of clash ing with her by hasty action—our people will not fail to act with boldness, when it becomes neces sary, because we waited with patience the true time for action, instead of becoming alarmed be fore danger had actually arrived, and rushing into perils which prudence may avoid. In addition to these reasons, it seems to me we should wait to-hear from the National Executive. It is his duty to look not to Maryland alone, but to the entire Union. He is, doubtless, correctly advised as to the true condition of the country, whose chief officer he is, aud must have means of judging correctly as to its condition, far more ex tensive than those at my command ; and of de ciding properly as to what measures are best suit ed to compose our national troubles; and I will say, that I consider it but respectful to await the recommendations of that high functionary. Congress too will be in session on the 3d prox., and coming, as its members will do, from every section of the country, it is but reasonable to hope, that they in their congregated wisdom, will give aid to the National Executive, and that wise and temperate counsels will prevail, iugs be had which will allay much of the unkind and unnatural prejudice existing between the dif ferent sections of our once united and happy country. Believing that all should act, or declityi to act, as circumstances may render proper, I rifust as at present advised by my own judgment, founded upon much information of the wishes of the peo ple, and great deliberation, respectlully decline to gratify the request so politely made—but shall hold myself ready to act promptly when I shall believe the honor and safety of Maryland require me to act in the premises. With great respect, I am, Your obedient servant. Thomas H. Hicks. Suicide of a Tennessean. —The Natchez (Miss.) Courier of the 23d relates the following : “A man named Woolfork, from Maury county, Tenn., jumped overboard from the steamer Woodward last Tuesday night, while on her downward trip, about eight miles below this city. Capt Ikwin in stantly turned the boat round, and succeeded in reaching him, but life was too far gone to be re cuscitated. The bod/ was recovered and brought on board, aud afterward decently buried. It would seem that his death was premeditated, as Woolfork the day before had given his son—a mere child—to the mate of the boat to take charge of and bring up, at the same time handing him all his money ($210) for the boy’s benefit.” In Dallas county, Ala., there are two tickets out for the convention. The one for immediate sepa rate secession, is composed ot George C. Philips an old line \\ big, and John T. Morgan, Democrat. The Ticket forco operation resistance, is composed of John S. Hunter, an old line Whig, and R A Baker, Democrat. They are all substantial citi zens, and popular and influential men. Hunter and Morgan are able debater*. A BILL to be entitled an Act to protect the rights of the people of Georgia. Whereas the several States of Massachusetts, New York, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Michi gan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, have established laws which are manifestly in tended to violate their Constitutional obligations to Georgia, by rendering the laws of Congress for the enforcement of those obligations inopera tive and void within their respective jurisdictions, or obstructing their execution, instead of passing laws to aid in delivering up fugitive slaves, as good faith would require, some of said States having passed laws prohibiting their officers, un der heavy penalties, from aiding in the rendition of fugitive slaves, as by Acts of Congress it is made their duty to do, and denying the use of tl®ir jails for the imprisonment of fugitive slaves, and extending to fugitive slaves the benefits of the writ of habeas corpus and trial by jury, con trary to the true intent and meaning of said Acts of Congress ; and having on the trial in said ha beas corpus court perverted the rules of evidence established by said Acts of Congress, and among other things refused to permit written depositions to be given in evidence as authorised by said Acts of Congress, in case of claim of a fugitive, there by rendering it impossible for the owner to es tablish his claim to his slave ; and in case of his failure to do so, having enacted stringent penal laws against him for the attempt, or for having even saidjthat the slave was his ; and others hav ing denied to the owner the right, under heavy Eenalties, to seize his slave, wherever found by im in such States, and carry him before a proper officer, as provided by the laws of Congress ; and each and every one of said States above mention ed having passed laws obstructing or wholly pre venting the execution of the Fugitive Slave Law passed by Congress within their respective limits, m one or more of the ways above mentioned or otherwise ; therefore, Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, That this Act shall be iu force against the several States of Massachusetts, New York, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Mi chigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Connecti cut, (and also every State which cast its vote in the last election for Lincoln and Hamlin,*) from and after the Ist day of January, 1862. Sec. 2. If after the first day of January, 1862, the Legislature of any State other than those mentioned in the first section, shall establish, or shall have established before that date, or main tain in force, afiy law’ which is manifestly intend ed to defeat the laws of Congress for the recovery of fugitive slaves, or which obstructs their execu tion in any way whatever, the Governor of this State shall upon sufficient evidence issue a Pro clamation stating the fact, aud this Act shall be in force against such State from the date of such Proclamation. Sec. 3. If the officers or the people of any State shall, by illegal interference or action contrary to the laws of Congress, prevent or defeat the r covery of any fugitive slave, the property of any citizen or inhabitant of Georgia, the Governor of this State shall, upon sufficient evideuce, issue a Proclamation stating the fact, and this law shall be in force against such State until the proper authorities shall cause to be paid to the Governor of Georgia, for the use of the injured party, the value of the slave or slaves whose recovery was prevented, with reasonable damages and expenses incurred in the attempt to recover such slave or slaves, which several sums shall be judged of by the Governor, according to the best evidence be can obtain. Sec. 4.

And any person who shall a second time offend against the provisions of this Act, shall pay a fine of four hundred per cent, on the value of auy articles so brought into this State, and be lia hie to imprisonment not more than six months, at the discretion of the Court.

Sec. 6. Whenever this Act shall be put in force against any such State, the Tax Receiver shall, at the next regular time for receiving tax-returns, administer to every person subject to pay taxes, in addition to the oaths now required by law, the following oath : “I [A.B.] do solemnly swear that the account which I now give iu is a just and true account, with the value, according to the best of my knowledge aud belief, of all the articles which I have, since the first day oi January, 1861, eith er by myself or another, ordered or brought iuto this State for the purpose of sale, or my owu con sumption, or the consumption of another, or which I have sold in tbe State of Georgia, know ing or believing at the time that they came from, or were manufactured in, either of the States of Massachusetts, New York, Maine, Vermont Rhode Island, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, or Connecticut, and also every State which cast its vote in the last election for Lincoln and Hamlin, — after the date aforesaid.” Sec. 7. And it shall be the duty of every Justice of the Peace, upon the information of any citizen on his oath, that he has good reason to” believe that any transient person, or any person, who is about to remove from the limits of this State, has become liable to payment of tax, under this Act, to require such person by warrant or otherwise to appear before him, and to take the above oath, and to pay such tax as may be due, and take an oatfi to comply with and support the Act ; or, on refusal, to commit the said person to the com mon jail of the county, or bind him in a sufficient bond to appear at the next term of the Superior Court, and answer for said misdemeanor. Sec. 8. In the event the Governor shall by his Proclamation include other States than those enumerated, in accordance with the provisions of this Act, it shall be the duty of the Comptroller- General, in an annual circular to the several re ceivers of tax returns of this State, or oftener if necessary, so to modify the oath required in the foregoing section as to embrace the States inclu ded in the provisions of this Act, during any part of the year, and for the time they have been so included. Sec. 9.

No. 2. Offered by Mr. Andrews as an additional section. That if an Act of Congress shall be passed com pelling, to the satisfaction of the Governor of this State, all States, in whose territories any slave shall be rescued; contrary to the rights of any slaveholder, under the Constitution, to pay to the owner of such slave his full value, then this Act shall be inoperative and of none effect, when the fact shall be announced by the Governor by proclamation. No. 8 Amendment offered by Mr. Ector. That every citizen coming into this State from any of the States who have cast their votes for Abraham Lincoln and Hanibal Hamlin, be requi red to go before the county Court of the first county into which he or they may come, of this State, and he or they shall take an oath to sup port all the laws of this State, and to serve her, when called on, against all her enemies, whomso ever, and the'Clerk of said Court shall give him or them a certificate of the fact that he has taken said oath, with the seal of his Court attached ; and any citizen of said State who shall fail so to do shall be liable to be taken up by any citizen, and it shall be the duty of all officers of this State to take up said persons and incarcerate them in the common jail, until the first regular term of the county Court, when they shall be tried by a jury of twelve Southern freeholders, and, upon convic tion, shall be imprisoned in the penitentiary not less than one year, nor more than ten years. Letter from Gov. Letcher. The Richmond Enquirer publishes a letter from Gov. Letcher to Lewis D. Vail, Esq., of Phil adelphia, upon Pennsylvania’s nullification of the fugitive slave law. Gov. Letcher fully demon strates that the unconstitutional and obnoxious laws of Pennsylvania are still in full effect and force, and that, notwithstanding Mr. Vail is “proud that he is a citizen of this good old State, the key stone of the arch,” yet he is lamentably ignorant of the legislation of his own State. After thor oughly discussing the legal points of the question, he says : And, finally, the Constitution of the United States, in the fourth article, and second section, declares: “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or'labor, but shall be delivered up, on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.” Under this provision of the Constitution, what is the duty of Pennsylvania and the other non slaveholding States ? Is it not plainly end palpa bly their duty to aid in giving full effect to this requirement ? When a person, held to service or labor in Virginia, escapes into your State, and is there found, is it not incumbent on your citizens to see that he or she “shall be delivered up, on claim of the party, to whom such service or labor may be due?” Ought not your Legislature to re quire your judges, justices of the peace, aldermen, aud other officers, to aid by all legitimate means, the claimant in recovering the possession of his slave property, that may be found in your State ? It cannot be said that your law of 1847, as it now stands upon your statute book, was intended to effect this object. In re-enactmg this law, at your last session, it will not be claimed, I am sure, that the object was to secure a more efficient exe cution of the fugitive slave laws of 1793 and 1850, and a more faithful performance of the duty im posed upon your citizens by this article and sec tion of the Federal Government. If the Union is to be preserved, it is necessary that all causes of complaint, irritation and dis satisfaction, shall be speedily removed. In the present condition of affairs, delay ends in des truction. If the non-slaveholding States desire to save the Constitution from overthrow, and the Confederacy from dissolution, let them “show their faitlf by their works.” Let them repeal at once all statutes which are injurious to the rights and interests of their Southern fellow-citizens, and which are in auy degree calculated to embar rass them in the recovery of fugitive slaves. This” cannot be done a moment too soon, and I urge you and other conservative men in your section, to act without delay, and show to the South that you really desire the preservation of the Union. You can do much to allay the excitement now existing, to restore concord’ and fraternal feeling, to revive lost confidence between the sections! and you owe it to yourselves, to your country, and to those who are to succeed you, to do your duty and your whole duty, promptly and faith fully. In the surne kind and conservative spirit which dictated your letter, I have replied to it.

Domestic Economy.—A lady proposes in the Charleston Mercury a plan bv which the half mil lion of dollars tax, talked of by the Legislature, could easily be made one of a million. The plan is that the South Carolina women shall retrench in silks and laces, and contribute the money thus economized to the funds of the State. The lady applies the araumentum ad hominem to herself at once. She says : Let me begin. I have two daughters, each of whom is ready with the hundred dollars other wise due for her winter’s adornment. Asa mo ther let me give two hundred, and our young ladies may exercise their arithmetical and finan cial powers to determine how many women (con tributing each only in proportion to her means,) will be wanted to make the extra half million. Let ns begin with this, aud we will come again if you will only tell us that our country needs us. Down with the silks, when we have anything bet ter to do with our money. The Mercury of the next day cohtained a warm response to the above suggestion, from another lady, who regards the proposed self-abnegation as the imperative duty of her sex, in the present emergency. This second lady suggests a further curtailment of expense and pleasure, viz : that the young ladies forego the usual public balls of the winter, and that tiiey request the gentlemen, who support these balls, to devote their annual subscriptions to the object proposed.

No medicine existed which could speedily, permanently, Jft factually and radically cure and expel these diseases from the system until Dr. Green made known his discovery of the OXY GENATED BITTERS. Such is its remarkable power and peculiarity', that cases which for years have baffled the most potent medicine and the highest professional skill, yield te this remedy as readily as if the disease were but of a day’s standing. For all diseases of the Stomach and digestive organs, and for Qeneial Debility it is equally salutary and certain. [From W. A. Harp, Esq., Editor of the Covington (Ga.)

All the Druggists in the United States keep them. decl-d&wlw XW Fever and Ague, and all Fevers, are cured by perseverance with BKANDKETH’S PILLS, which takes all poisons, of whatever nature they may be, from the circulation. Mr. John Y. Haight, Supervisor of Newcastle, Westchester county, New York, says, Nov., 1853 : “I was two years ago attacked with Fever and Ague, which, notwithstanding the best medical advice, continued sorely to afflict me for six tedi ous months ; I became al yellow as saffron, and reduced to skin and bone. Medicine and physicians were abandoned in despair. As an experiment, I concluded to try a single dose of six of Brandeth’s Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed to arouse all the latent energies of my exhausted frame. I feared the worst—their purgative eflect was different from anything I had ever used or heard of. At length this effect ceased, and I sir m_ ed lighter and breathed freer. That evening I was indeed frn siblv better ai.d slept soundly all night. The next day I fol lowed tho same course, and continued to take the Pills in this way about three weeks, when I found myself entirely cur'd. My health has been surprisingly good ever s.nce.” Price 25 cents per box. Sold by all respectable dealers in medicine. decl-dawlm X3T Messrs.

Knowing a rat bite to be very danger ous, 1 felt much alarmed, and haviug tried your AMBROSIAL OIL for many ailments, and finding relief, I applied it thor oughly during the balance of the night and next day. It healed at once, and 1 have never experienced any ill effects from the same. I felt that the world should know the magic power of your justly celebrated AMBROSIAL OIL. W. M. Collins.

It is especially adapted to those who are afflicted with the Fever and Ague, or any other disease arising from a disordered condi tion of the digestive organs. For Fever and Ague perhaps no medicine in the world equals It, as it enters, purjfles and re plenishes the blood, which is so important to bring about a healthy action in diseases of this nature. The Bitters are now among the most popular, and at the same time, valuable sped- Acs in the medical world. In recommending it to the public, we are fully conscious of doing them a great service, knowing as we co, their many excellent qualities, and sure and speedy action in all cases where ihe disease is caused by the irregulari ty of the digestive organs.
