The menage
Os President Buchanan is, in our opinion, a very
cairn, judicious and sensible document—and this,
we believe, is the first time we have hail it in our
power to commend him. About half of it is de
voted to our present troubles—and the remainder
very lew people care to read, feeling compara
tively little interest in it. The first part will un
doubtedly have more* readers than any President’s
message ever had before. The prevalent idea, too,
that this is the last message of the President of
the United States, will give it more interest, and
secure more readers.
Mr. Buchanan, in the strict line of legality,
holds that a State has not a constitutional right
to secede from the Union at will—but merely that
each State—and why not each community—has
the inherent right to throw off any authority
which may become distasteful to it, any authority
which its citizens may consider perilous to their
prosperity, happiness, security and honor. This
is well argued indeed—if such a question as the
constitutional right ot secession requires any ar
gument at all. It is a simple absurdity to say, or
suppose, that any government, in the very act of
its formation, made distinct provision for its own
destruction. It is a matter not to be decided by
argument; in the nature of things it can only be
(fetermined authoritatively when the trial comes.
In fact, it is absurd to talk about rights in this en
lightened age any way. All men ought by this
time to know that there is no such thing as a
right anywhere, unless there be the power to en
force it.
But while the President denies the right to se
cede, he shows himself a stateesman in that he
declares that there exists nowhere in the govern
ment any right to coerce a State which attempts
to exercise the right of secession. The President
is not empowered by Congress, neither can be,
witii any authority to force a State to remain in
the Union against its will. If a man marry of his
own free will, it does not by any means follow
that he can absolve himself from the marital obli
gation of his own free w ill ; aud should he at
tempt it, the laws of civilized society step in to
prevent him, and they will prevent him only if
tin- laws can be executed. So while a State
forms a compact of its own free •ill, it does not
follow that it can of the same will, annul at plea
sure its obligations to its co-States, but it certainly
may do so when the co-States and the chief of the
pact have neither authority, power nor w ill to
prevent. As we said mouths ago, the right is a
question ot no practical importance—not w orthy
a statesman’s attention—but the questions are. is
there any power to coerce a State, aud is it worth
the doing? We believe with the President, that
there is no such power, and certainly it is not
w orth exercising, if it existed, because the theory
of the Govet nrnent is, that it is a Government of
consent solely. Is it became necessary for the
Federal power, or for a co-State, to coerce another
in j remaining in the family, then the Union our
lathers made is clearly at an end.
The President says truly he must enforce the
laws, as his oatli requires, and he will do it to the
extent of his ability ; but lie manifestly has no
ability where he has uo Federal Judge, Attorney
or Marshal, lie says also that he must, will aud
cun collect the revenues in all events —but we are
at a loss to know how that is to be done, where
there is no Collector. He lias no authority to collect
the revenue on board ship, so far as we know'.
The fact is that when a State secedes, right or no
right, she is independent in all respects of the
Federal Government, if her power equal her Je
tt r ruination— and that is almost sure to be the
ease in the emergency likely soon to arise.
As regards the Tariff the President wisely re
commends specific, instead of ad valorem duties,
t bo levied from an average of several years’ pri
ces in the shipping ports. That, we believe, lias
secured the approval of Mr. Toombs, even since
he abaudoned Whiggery, because he did not ne
cessarily abandon statesmanship at the same
time. But this is a matter not likely to concern
our readers much. On the whole, we think very
well of the Message.
No Party Ism.
Wk are all exceedingly anxious to do away with
parties—at least we all say so. Certainly we have
ii:> further use for the Uki.l, Breckinridge or
l>jiiGLxs parties; but so long as poor human 11a
lui o remains as it has been since the days ol
Adam we much fear that parties are inseparable
irom every apparently free government. In the
present great crisis in our national affairs, ail
men are beseeched to have done with parties, at
least with the old parties, and to unite now for
resistance. We believe we are all united now for
some sort of resistance, but the human mind is so
organized, and human passions are of such char
acter, that we cannot all think alike.
While favoring resistance, various plans are pro
posed, by which to manifest that resistance, and
make it effective. The surest way to have par
ties, and to keep up parties and party organiza
tion and hostilities, is to encourage the caucus
system —the system of meeting together, in what
is called conventions, for the purpose of nominat
ing candidates for any and all offices. This sys
tem has come to be a great curse, and is a hum
bug withal—not necessary to the proper dis
charge of any duties of citizenship, though abso
lutely essential to keep up varty organization.—
Two, or three, or more parties, by the action of
.those who have the inclination or the desire to
attend nominating caucuses, put in nomination
their candidates, and then, by the inexorable and
tyrannical usage (become law) of party, the citi
zens are deprived of their right of free and unres
tricted suffrage, or else read out of the party. By
the present and late custom the few really make
the candidates, and then compel the many to re
gister their edict at the polls, or else lose their
votes.
This seems to us an opportune time, when the
cry of no party is heard every where, to com
mence a reform much needed; and therefore we
would suggest that the intermediate and unauthor
ized caucus system be abandoned entirely, leaving
the people, according to die theory of our gojvern
( merit, to govern, themselves, by voting for whom
soever they prefer to represent them. And our ad
> ice to all the voters of Georgia is, to go the polls
next January, and vote for their own choice, re
gardless of parties and of nominations.
Discoveries in California.— A San Francisco
paper describes some of the natural wonders of the
“Coso Silver Region,” of which so much has been
said of late. A group of mammoth trees in East
ern Tulare is represented to eclipse the famous ones
of Calaveras. The writer says:
As we ascended the first range we began to
tti ike a heavily timbered country, mostly yellow
piue interspersed with white oak. After reaching
the summit of the first range we bore gradually
to the right, and traveling in an easterly directio 1,
we entered a forest of redwood timber that aston
i -bed the natives themselves. Calr.veras, with her
large trees, is nowhere. People from every section
of our States,(Visalia not excepted,) are traveling
hundred of miles to visit thelarge trees of Calaver
as, which, if my memory serves me, are few in num
ber, and the largest measuring but 32 feet in diam
. er. Tulare beats that to myknowledge, for after
traveling amongst these monsters for several mil s,
io-sitating and arguing with my companions about
which was the largest, I alighted from my horse
and measured one that was a little over thirty -
three feet in diameter, and supposed to be at least
three hundred feet high; so that the good people
r.f Calaveras can stand aside, or if it is their pleas
ure, they can visit the Red woods of Eastern Tu
lare, and view with wonder and amazement the
crowned monarchs of the forest. ”
A Heroic Wife. —The heroic conduct, on the
burnt steamer Pacific, of Mrs. J. W. McDonald,
who was traveling with her husband who was ly
ing very low at the time with consumption, was a
subject of general admiration. The announce
ment of the conflagration was too much for his
delicate nerves, and the poor man swooned and
died under the excitement. The wife refused to
leave the corpse of her husband to the merciless,
liery elemeut, but stood bravely by his death-bed
until the flames licked the panels of the stateroom
in which the corpse lay. In vain she offered al
most fabulous sums to any one who would convey
the body to the shore; and in her sheer despera
tion she caught up the lifeless form and bore it to
the cuards of the boat. It fell from her grasp,
however, and was destroyed, it is presumed with
the boat. Mrs. McDonald remained in Union
town after the disaster, in tfie hope of gathering
up the ashes of her deceased husband:
THIRTY-SIXTH’ CONGRESS—2d Se*’n.
IN SENATE Dec. 5.
The Senate met at aoon, and was opened with
prayer.
Mr. Green introduced a resolution that the Com
mittee on the Judiciary be instructed to inquire
into the propriety of providing by law and establish
ing au armed police force in the border States,
slave and free, for the purpose of maintaining
general peace between the States and for prevent
ing the invasion of any of the States by the citi
zens of another, and aiso for the more elficieut ex
ecution of the Fugitive Slave Law.
Mr. Cameron moved that it be made the
of the day lor next Monday. Adopted.
Mr. Hale moved to reconsider the vote to print
the President’s Message. He said if he under
stood the Message, it first showed that South
Carolina has just cause to secede, and secondly,
that she has uo right to secede, lie did think
the President should have pointed out to Con
gress some rule for the guidance of Congress.—
He had failed to look tho thing in the lace. We
must look to the ballot box or war for the termi
nation of our difficulties. South Carolina asks no
counsel. She considers disunion a settled ques
tion, aud is arming herself. The voice of the ma
jority, as announced at the ballot box, would not
be submitted to. The Northern States were said
to be the aggressors. Gentlemen on the other
side would listen to aspersions of their fellow-citi
zens rather than own their convictions. We are
trying an experiment. Our Republic has not
outlived the soldiers who fought her battles and
won her victories. We have obtained what we
have by great effort—at the price, not of revolu
tion, but patriotism. But, comparing with a con
test'reaching far back in English history, we are
coining to the culminating point. The civil war
of England was insignificant to our conflict. I
hope we shall settle things peaceably ; but, if we
can’t, we must look the danger straight in the
face. The South refuses to submit to the coining
Administration.”
Mr. Brown, of Mississippi—ls you go to the
right we will go the left and vice versa.
-Mr. Iverson—The States withdrawing disclaim
urther allegiance. We intend to go out of the
Union before the fourth of March. Five States will
go out. Arkansas and Louisiana will call a Con
vention pretty soon. The Black Republicans in
tend to use their power to put down slavery, and
our policy is to get out of the Union while we have
strength. Nothing under Heaven can prevent it.
Talk about the repeal of the Personal Liberty
bills—that will not prevent it. We don’t fear
them much, but w r e most dread mob laws. We
intend to go out, “peaceably if we can, forcibly if
we must.’’ The next twelve months w ould lind
a Southern Confederacy tally established, and
in my opinion, the most prosperous and and pow
erful ever seen. We don’t apprehend war, but, if
the North attempt to coerce, it will come !
If the Senator from New Hampshire wants it,
we will give it to him. We are preparing to tight
for our liberties, rights and honors. We are uot
a feeble race of Mexicans that can be easily over
come. 1 believe we will have a united people and
agree harmoniously. I hope the North will see
that it is the best policy to let us go, and make
treaties of commerce with us, rather than attempt
to coerce us. We will give them all possible ad
vantages, and both of us will be able to live in the
exercise of greater friendship. There is now an
enmity between the Northern aud Southern peo
ple deeper than heU ! No one on the other side of
the Chamber conn* here to exchange courtesies,
neither do we go there. We are enemies. North
erners hate the South greater than any other
country does. A’e don’t feel the loss of their
love, and the sooner we separate the better. The
Senator from New Hampshire had better take
care. If war comes, we will meet the myrmidons
ot the abolitionists.
Mr. Davis hoped they would print the Message,
whether good, bad or indifferent. As long as we
are in alliance threats are of uo avail.
Mr. Wigfall said no man can deny that the con
stitutional compact between the States is that
each State shall act for itself and on its own re
sponsibility. lie compared the violation of the
laws by the States to a foreign power breaking
its treaties with us.
A message from the House was received inform
ing the Senate that it had passed the bill to se
cure homesteads to actual settlers onjtlie public
domaiu. v -
Mr. Wigfall continued—ls violence is offered to
the States of the South, the people will be called
together to declare whether they desire to remain
in the Union. If they believe that they will live
more happy and prosperous under another gov
ernment, they will assert that by forming a Con
stitution. The more I read the President’s Mes
sage, the less I comprehend it. I conclude that
the President believes that it is impossible.to
maintain the organization of the Federal Courts
in South Carolina, or enforce the decisions of the
judicial tribunals; but whether the State secede
or not, he has power to collect customs there, and
has power tor holding possession of the forts. I
intend Introducing at an early day a resolution to
ascertain whether an order has gone from the
War Department in reference to the matter. I
believe tlie President will precipitate the very
measures he seems intending to avoid. It will be
necessary to put a construction on the Message
to know what the President intends doing. After
then we will urge forbearance no longer. Then
we will trust in the God of battles.
Mr. Saulsbury said —It is not my intention to
prolong this unnecessary aud most unfortunate
debate. I rise simply to say, in the presence of
the representatives of the States of the Union,
that my State, having been the first to adopt the
Federal Constitution, will be the last to do any
act, calculated or having a tendency to lead to a
separation of these States. [Applause.] Her
people did and suffered too much —performed too
much service in achieving the glorious liberty
which we enjoy, and in establishing the Constitu
tion under which we live. No son others will
raise his hands against our institutions or against
the Union. When this Union shall he destroyed
by the madness or folly of others—if, unfortunate
ly, it should he—it will be time enough then for
Delaware and her representatives to say what her
course will be. [Loud applause from the densely
crowded galleries. |
Mr. Hamlin moved, and the Senat.e adjourned at
half past two o’clock.
HOUSE.
The House by a vote of 68 against 125 refused
to lay on the table Mr. Grow’s motion to recon
sider the vote by which the Committee of Agri
culture on the Homestead bill was last session re
ferred to the Committee of the Whole on the State
of the Union.
The House then reconsidered the vote on the
bill thus brought up for action.
Mr, Grow said he did not desire to discuss this
measure, the principle involved having been
familiar to the country for the past ten years.—
This bill, however, avoids the prominent objec
tions in President Buchanan’s veto message. It
does not propose to donate lauds but it requires a
payment of ten dollars lor ICO acres. He might,
if necessary, quote President Jackson against
President Buchanan to show that the former was
of the opinion that the public lands should not he
a source af Federal revenue, lie concluded by
moving the previous question, under the opera
tion of which the bill i was passed—yes 132,
nays7fi.
Mr. Colfax moved that the Post Route bill, re
turned from the Senate at the former session with
amendments, be referred to the I’Qst Office Com
mittee. He remarked that there had been no such
bill passed for the last three years, and it was de
sirous to have actiou upon it as soon as possible.
Mr. Smith, of Virginia, objected, saying the
government is financially embarrassed.
Mr. Colfax—That’s true, but we draw our pay.
He had performed his duty as to this matter, and
he said in conclusion, that there were several re
forms proposed in the bill, and the Postmaster
General was anxious to know the disposition of
Congress as to the contracts with railroads.
The objections to taking up and referring the
bill were persisted in.
On motion of Mr. Sherman the House went into
Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union,
Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, in the chair, and took
up the Military Academy bill.
Mr. Curtis offered an amendment providing
that the study of the Cadets shall uot be extended
beyond four years.
After a debate the amendment was rejected.
The Pension bill was read, and thus, with the
Academy bill, was subsequently passed.
At 2 o’clock he House adjourned.
Save the Leaves.— ls Brother Jonathan were as
saving of manures as John Bull is be would lie a
better farmer. No one knows until lie lias seen it
how careful English and European farmers aud
gardeners are of everything which enn be convert
ed into manure, and this is one orgund of their su
perority in agriculture. Now let us repeat what
we have often e>aid, that few tilings are more valu
able for fertilizing purposes than decayed leaves.
They are Hardly inferior to barnyard manure,
(lather them up now, this very month of Novem
ber, before they are covered by the snow. They
are abundant everywhere, lying in heads and win
drows in the forest and by the roadside and by
the fences in every yard. The wood lot should
not be stripped clean of them; but doubtless every
farmer’s land contains more of them here and
there than he can find time to cart home. Gath
er them up by raking or by sweeping with a large
birch b’ ooin. Stake them and pack them in the
large wagon; adding side boards as high as con
venient; you will hardly get too heavy a load.
Cart them home and use them as bedding for cat
tle and horses; use them for compost in tlie sta
ble yard; use them to protect tender grape vines
and’ shrubs and plants in winter. Strawberry
/patches will fairly sing for joy under such afeatli
fery blanket. By all means save the leaves aud
use them. —American Agriculturist.
Large Legacy to the Swkdenborgians.—ln the
Boston Probate Court on Tuesday, was offered the
will of the late William Marshall, whereby a large
residue of his estate which is about SIOO,OOO, is giv
eu to the New Jerusalem Church in trust for a
farm school. The parties opposing the will pro
posed not to make u contest in the Probate, but
let the case go for trial to the Supreme Court, and
asked for the appointment of a special administra
tor. The Court appointed a speeial administra
tor, but on examining the witnesses was not in
clined to allow the will, and continued the case to
enable the executor to bring proof, if possible of
its execution. _____
Capture ok a Slaver. —Letters from Zanzibar,
received at Salem, Mass., state that the ship Sun
ny South, with 846 slaves on board, had been cap
tured by her Britannic Majesty’s ship Brisk, in
the vicinity of Mozambique, and sent to Mauritius.
The Sunny South was built in New York in 1854,
by the late George Steers, and was 702 tons bur
then. She was cleared at the Custom-House in
New York, on the sth of August.
Hancock County meeting.
About two hundred of the citizens ot Hancock
county met in the Court House to-day, to nominate
candidates to the approaching State Convention.
Men representing every variety of opinion as the
best policy for the country to adopt in this hour
of her peril, were present, and participated freely
in balloting for their respective candidates. The
meeting was organized by appointing Hon. A. J.
Lane Chairman, and F. L. Little Serectary.
On taking his seal, the Chairman stated in a
tew appropriate remarks, the object of the meet
mg, and when he had declared it open for the
transaction of business, Judge Stephens, after a
brief comment, introduced the following resolu
tions, which without discussion, wereunanimouslv
agreed to :
Resolved , That all the slaveholding States, hav
um a common interest, ought’ to adopt a common
policy in the present great emergency, and share
the same destiny ; and that no one of them can,
with % due regard to the opinions and rights of
the rest, adopt for herself any final and uncondi
tional remedy for existing grievances, until she
shall, have first taken counsel, or fairly offered to
take counsel of the whole, concerning the proper
mode of redressing our common wrongs, andjpro
curing adequate remedy for our common rights.
After the failure of such a fair aud honest effort
to attain unanimous councils and to unite all the
Southern States, upon a line of policy which shall
preserve our rights aud secure our safety, then,
but not till then, will each State stand justified
before the world, and in the eyes of the Southern
sisters, in taking her ovvu chosen course. We
therefore urge upon our present Legislature the
great importance of taking the most efficient
means of procuring co-operation among all the
Southern States, and especially that they pass
resolutions and have them communicated to each
of the Southern States, requesting the Legisla
tures and Conventions of each, to refrain from
such separate State action as shall be final and
unconditional until there first be a conference of
the whole, or a failure to obtain it.
Resolved , Thai in the event ot such a conference
of the whole, or any two or more of the Southern
States, we feel profoundly impressed with the
conviction that unanimity aud efficiency of action
cannot be attained without a spirit ot concession
among ourselves—a willingness on the part of
each State, to sacrifice somewhat of her own pre
ferred views, to the views of the rest, not how
ever, sacrificing any principle which she may
deem vital to her interests or honor. If this
spirit shall prevail, we confidently believe, that
united counsels and united action will be accom
plished among most, if not among all of the
Southern States, and then whether we go out of
the Union or remain in it, we shall avoid the most
horrible calamity of either course, the calamity of
distracted, discordant and hostile divisions at
home—leading to consequences, which no patriot
can anticipate without horror and alarm.
Resolved , That a copy of these resolutions be
furnished to the Representatives of this county
in the present Legislature, with the request that
they use their best efi’orts to have the course in
dicated, adopted by that body.
Resolved, That in our judgment the slave States
ought to make a united demand upon those States
which have violated our rights, for redress of all
our grievances, and that if such demand he re
fused, that Georgia and all the rest of the South
ern States, ought to pledge themselves, to each
other, to unite in the adoption of any and all
means, to maintain our rights outside of the
Union.
It was agreed that the nominations” should he
made by ballot, and that the gentlemen receiving
the majority of all the votes cust, should be de
clared the candidates.
The names of several gentlemen were suggest
ed, aud upon the first ballot it appeared that
Judge Linton Stephens, Col. Benj. T. Harris and
Col. l’hos. M. Turner were nominated by over
whelming majorities.
The result having been announced by the Chair,
Judge Stephens was called out, and responded in
a brief but telling speech. He counseled pru
dence, friendship, aud unanimity in the work of
redressing our wrongs. He was not yet prepared
to disrupt this great government and embark
upon the hazardous experiment of forming anew
one. To do so would be to pronounce Repulican
ism a failure, and to entail upon us the painful
necessity of abandoning the wise Constitution of
our Fathers for a Constitutional Monarchy and a
King. Against all this, every feeling of his heart
revolted; and because lie loved his government
“for its protection aud its benefits,” for its histo
ry and the prestige ot its name he would make
one more honest, earnest effort in concert with
the Southern States, to correct its abuses, and re
store it to its ancient purity. Failing in this, he
would then join his brethren in striking for their
rights “outside of the Union.”
It was moved that the proceedings be published
in all the Milledgeville and Augusta papers with
out discrimination.

Sparta, Dec. 4th, IW>.”
Executive Department, [
Milledgeville, Gu., Dec. 5, 1860. (
On the thirtieth ult., as the Executive of Geor
gia, 1 returned to tin* Senate, in which it origina
ted, a bill known as the Bank bill, accompanied
by a message containing the reasons why 1 with
held from it my sanction. On reading the mess
age, I am not informed that the Senate took any
exception to the language contained in it, or con
strued. it, as containing any censure upon any mem
ber of that body.
Some time after the message had been read and
acted upon in the Senate, certain members of the
House of Representatives, who seem desirous of
assuming to themselves the championship of the
cause of the banks in their efforts to wrong and
oppress the people of this State, chose to construe
a sentence in my message to the Senate, into a
charge of bribery against the members of the Gen
eral Assembly ; and for the purpose of getting up
an issue with me as the Executive of the Shite,
aud diverting the minds of the people from the
true issue, and thereby shielding themselves from
public indignation, brought forward a resolution
in the House, calling upon me for information
upon their on a construction of the language used,
which resolution was passed in the midst of an
excitement raised for the occasion, after a dis
respectful attack, which the House permitted to
be made on the Executive, in the debate, and was
transmitted to the Senate for its concurrence.
That body acted with dignity and deliberation, in
considering the resolution ; but concurred in it as
the demand had been made by the House.
This resolution was commuuicated to me ; and,
on the 3d instant, in response to it, I addressed to
the Senate, to which body the message containing
the language complained of had been addressed,
a respectful, and, l trust, satisfactory communi
cation, disclaiming any intention to make any
charge of bribery, and stating that mv language,
which was general, was directed against lobby
influence, which I consider the most growing and
dangerous evil in our legislation.
The House of Representatives thought proper
to construe this last mentioned message, as offen
sive ; for the reason, as I am left to presume, that
it was not addressed to them ; and, on the fourth
day of this month, passed and ordered spread
upon its journal, a preamble and resolution,
charging that I, in my said last message to the
Senate, had been guilty of an evasion of a charge
which 1 could not sustain, and of an attempt to
deceive; and resolving that I have violated the
privileges ot the House, and failed to maintain,
in my intercourse with that body, that dignity of
deportment which becomes the Chief Magistrate
of Georgia.
The charges Contained in said preamble and
resolution, are unjust and wholly destitute of
truth, in the following particulars :
Ist. My message to the Senate, in response to
said resolution, contains no attempt to deceive,
aud no evasion of a charge ; as it frankly disa
vows the construction put upon the language of
my veto message, by the resolution.
2d. I have violated no privilege of the House of
Representatives. As the House, in the debates
upon said resolutions, compromitted its dignity
by permitting one or more of its members to
make a personal attack upon the Executive of the
State, and to descend to low personal abuse, un
becoming the character of a legislator, no rule of
privilege known to parliamentary usage, entitled
the House to a reply.
3d. As the House, by its own unparliamentary
course, as spec fled above, precluded a reply from
the Executive, none was given ; and I have had
no official intercourse with the House, upon the
subject matter of that resolution. Therefore, the
charge that I have not maintained proper dignity,
in au intercourse which never existed, cannot be
true in fact.
I therefore, enter this, my solemn protest,
against the said preamble and resolution, passed
by the House of Representatives, on the 4th iust.;
because they were conceived in passion, promp
ted by a spirit of personal revenge and not of
public duty—undignified in their bearing, untrue
m their statements, and unjust in the assault
which they make upon a co-ordinate branch of the
government. And I order this protest to be
spread upon the permanent records of the Exe
cutive Department, and published in such ‘'news
papers in this State, as may publish said preamble
and resolution of the House.
After the disclaimer made in my message to the
Senate, in response to said resolution, should any
member of the House feel conscious of guilt, and
persist in applying to himself a charge of bribery
or dishonesty, I have no wish to become his public
prosecutor ; but deem his puuishment indeed se
vere, when left to himself, to be lashed aud tor
mented by the goadings of a guilty conscience.

the hope of discovering some remedy available to cure that
most distressing of all diseases—Dyspepsia, as well as its long
train of evils under their various names.
No medicine existed which could speedily, permanently, es
fectually and radically cure and expel these diseases from tlie
system until Dr. Green made known ids discovery of the OXY
GENATED BITTERS. Such is Its remarkable power and
peculiarity, that oases which for years have baffled tlie most
potent medicine and tlie highest professional skill, yield to tills
remedy as readily as ifthc disease were but of a day’s standing.
For all diseases of the Stomach and digestive organs, aud for
Geneial Debility it is equally salutary and certain.
