warn our readers
that Repudiation was inserted
in the Constitution to catch
white votes, and that if Congress
does not reject it the Courts will.
Hence any white man who votes
for ratification with the hope of
relief or repudiation will find
that he has been disappointed,
and only helped to fasten negro
suffrage upon his State. Be
ware.
the Constitution is
ratified it is of the utmost im
portance that good men should
be chosen to fill the different
offices. Therefore, neighbor
hood, district and county jeal
ousies must be buried. It mat
ters not where a man’s residence
is, whether in town or country,
this or that district, elect him if
he is the man for the times.—
We hope the Nominating Con
vention will be actuated by these
views. Neither of the counties
of Campbell, Coweta nor Meri
wether has a right to designate
one of its citizens as Senator,
but the three counties together
should strive to find out and
nominate the best man for the
position, it matters not where he
may reside. Under the propos
ed Constitution the Senate will
be a very important body, and
it is a question of great moment
who should be a member of it.
Then we ask delegates to lay
aside all district and county
jealousies, and. seek the good of
the whole people. Let patriot
ism sway all their actions in all
their nominations.
Ku-Kluk Klan.
This is a strange word, and must surely have
some signification. The word Ku-Kluk which
designates a band of Regulators in Texas and
other Western States, is supposed to he derived
from the Greek word Kuklos, which signifies a
circle.
But what is this Klan ? Why, evidently the
spirits of dead Confederate soldiers, rising out of
their graves on battle fields and cemeteries and
riding about their beloved country, watching
the acts and doings of traitors and conspirators.
These spirits have been moved in their graves
by the vile, wicked and hellish oppression
heaped upon their down trodden, living friends
and countrymen. They are the opposers of
Radical secret organizations, and will avenge
the wrongs committed by Radicalism, having
no fear of court or court martial, for these
tribunals have no jurisdiction over acts com
mitted by ghosts.
In all seriousness we assert the opinion that
this organization is the natural growth of these
disordered times, destined to extend to every
Southern city and town, for violence and wrong
beget violence and wrong. . We warn those
who have been prominent in assisting in hu
miliating and insulting Southern whites, to he
careful in future and remember the fate of the
tiger Robespierre. In that which has been
behold that which will be, and there is no new
thing under the sun.
Impeachment.—In obedience to the summons
issued by the Chief Justice, the President, by
his counsel, appeared in the Senate on the 13th
and asked for forty days time in which to pre
pare his answer. He was granted ten days,-
and on the 23d his counsel read his answer in
which he denied any violation of the laws or
Constitution of the United States. The repli
cation of the House was read a few days there
after, and next Monday was designated for the
commencement of the trial, although the Pres
ident asked for more time. I he haste with which
steps in this importantrcase have been taken will
strike every decent man as unjust and disgrace
ful. The meanest, vilest criminal, by virtue of
the laws and constitution of every State in the
Union, receives all necessary time for prepara
tion, and cannot be tried only by an impartial
jury of his peers. But when the President of
the nation is arraigned before a high court of
impeachment and asks for time only, for he
does not expect impartial jurors, in which to
prepare for trial, and when his counsel declare
that time is necessary, that justice and prece
dent would grant it to him, all of them are
treated with contempt, and for party purposes
alone, so impartial men must believe, the trial
is urged without regard to the rights of the
impeached party. Surely the Radical Senators
w o thus act cannot hope to escape the stings
of conscience, the frowns of just men and the
scorn and derision of posterity.
Register! Register!!
Those qualified but who have not heretofore
registered, will have another opportunity of
doing so. This is a sacred duty to self, family,
friends and government, which no man can
escape without severe responsibility. Regis
tration must precede voting, and in the coming
contest it will not be a struggle for office or
men, but for the life of the Constitution given
us l>y our fathers. Social existence itself is at
stake, and he who docs not raise his arm to
strike tt blow for the rights of his race must be
viewed as a rlfone in the camp. No time for
quibbles. He that is not for us is against us.
We suppose due notice of time and place of
re-opening the books will be given by the
Board.
Seventh District.—Col. Atkins, of the In
ternal Revenue service, has been nominated as
the Radical candidate for Congress in the Sev
enth District. Col. Waddell, of Polk, we learn,
will probably be bis competitor.
Relief.—The Menagerie will finally relieve
the people (the white people) of Georgia of
abont $200,000, while the Convention of 186-3
cost about $40,000.
Declined.—Judge Reese has declined being a
candidate for Governor, because he is of the
opinion he is ineligible under the acts of Con
gress.
StAnSs no Chance.—Bullock stands no chance
of election. Nearly every respectable white
man belonging to the Reconstruction party Inis
deserted him. Josh Hill, Parrott, Morrison,
Gaskill and Atlanta Opinion, have declared
against him. Bullock will not receive a thous
and white votes, and not more than two-thirds
of the negroes. Mark the prediction. His
nomination was a farce—his candidacy is ridic
ulous and his defeat certain, and will be over
whelming.

down the Constitution submitted to them for
ratification by the Radical Convention of that
State.

poning all municipal elections until after the
20th of April.
Spreading.—Divisions of the Ku-Kluk Klan
have been organized in Atlanta and Columbus.
At least the mysterious letters of K. Iv. K.
have been seen in many places in those cities.

Impeachment.
SENATOR SALSBURY TEMPTED—THE OBJECT IN VIEW
—THE TEMPTER “ORDERED OUT’’—NOTE
FROM THE PRESIDENT S COUNSEL.
I sent you yesterday a brief notice of the
“spy ’’ system which has been again introduc
ed here; but this perhaps is even less infamous
than other tactics adopted by tlie irape ichers
to secure the conviction of Andrew Johnson,
and thus usurp and seize upon the Executive
power of Federal government. It is indeed
mortifying to witness the schemas resorted to
by the Radicals to secure their ends. I am
authorized to allude to an incident which oc
curred a few days since, and which illustrates
the depth of moral and political degradation
which has been reached by the present domi
nant party in Congress. An entire and total
stranger to the Hon. Williard Saulsbury, Dem
ocratic Senator from Delaware, entered that
gentleman's room on Friday morning last, and
after stating that he had a very superior article
of brandy, begged to be allowed the honor of
presenting that Senator with a case of it. The
infamous movement was at once perceived by
Mr. Saulsbury, who promptly ordered the
wretched tool of the impeaehors out of his
presence.
The unfortunate weakness of this Senator
was attempted to be u&^l to deprive the Senate
of a vote known to be against the Jacobins,
and this creature had no doubt been employed
to tempt bis well known appetite for intoxica
ting drinks, and by placing him under the in
fluence of brandy, probably drugged, to keep
him from his seat in the Senate. These facts
are stated by Senator Saulsbury himself, who
declares that he never saw or heard of the in
dividual proposing to present him with a case
of brandy before or since this transaction. It
.is very evident that strangers in Washington
have become wonderfully liberal of late, thus
to donate cases of brandy, or that there is good
reason to suspect a damuing plot against the
Senator from Delaware, with a view of having
him expelled from the Senate, and thus reduce
the Conservative vote. No friend of Mr. Sauls-
bury here questions the fact that there was a
plot laid by the impeachment schemers.
The following is the text of the President’s
reply to the summons to appear before the
High Court of Impeachment:
IN THE MATTER OF THE IMPEACHMENT OF ANDREW
JOHNSON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. Chief Justice: I, Andrew Johnson, Presi
dent of the United States, having been served
with a summons to appear before this - honora
ble Court, sitting as a Court of Impeachment,
to answer certain articles of impeachment,
found and presented against me by the hono
rable House of Represantatives of the United
States, do hereby enter my appearance by my
counsel, Henry Stanbery, Benjamin 11. Curtis,
Jeremiah L. Black, William M. Evarts and
Thomas A. R. Nelson, who have my warrant
and authority therefor, and who are instructed
by me to ask of this honorable Court for a
reasonable time for the preparation of my an
swer to said articles. After a careful examina
tion of the articles of impeachment and con
sultation with my counsel, I am satisfied that
at least forty days will be necessary lor the
preparation of my answer, and I respectfully
ask that it he allowed.
(Signed) Andrew Johnson.
APPLICATION OF COUNSEL FOR FORTY DAYS' DELAY.
In the matter of the impeachment of Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States,
Henry Stanbery, Benjamin R. Curtis, Jere
miah L. Black, William M. Evarts and Thos.
A. R. Nelson, of couusel for the respondent,
move the Conrt for the allowance of forty
days for the preparation of an answer to the
articles of impeachment, aud in support of
the motion make the following statement:
The articles are eleven in number, involving
many questions of law and fact. We have,
during the limited time and opportunity afford
ed us, considered as far as possible the field of
investigation which must he explored in the
preparation of the answer; and the conclusion
at which we have arrived is that with the ut
most diligence the time we have asked ip rea
sonable and necessary. The precedents as to
time for answer on impeachment before the
Senate, to which we have had opportunity to
refer, are those of Judge Chase and Judge Peck.
In the case of Judge Chase time was allowed
from the 8d of January until the 11th of Feb
ruary, next succeeding, to put in his answer, a
period of thirty-two days, but in the case of
Judge Peck there was but a single article.—
Judge Peck asked for time from the 10th to
the 25th of May to put in his answer, and it
was granted. It appears that Judge Peck hail
been long cognizant'of the ground laid for his
i inipeaehmeut, aud had been present before
the committee of the House upon the exami
nation of the witnesses, and h id been permit
ted by the House of Representatives to present
to that body an elaborate answer to the charges
It is apparent that the President is fairly enti
tled to more time than was allowed in either
of the foregoing cases, and it is proper
to add that the respondents in these cases
were lawyers fully capable of preparing their
own answers, ami that no presiding official
duties interfered with thelt attention to that
business; whereas the President, not being a
lawyer, must rely on his couusel. The charges
involve his acts, declarations and intentions, as
to all of which his counsel must be fully ad
vised, upon consultation with him, step by
step, in the preparation of his defense. It is
seldom that a case requires such constant com
munication between client and counsel as this ;
and yet such communication can only be had
at such intervals as are allowed to the President
from the usual hours that must be devoted to
his high official duties. We further l>eg leave
to suggest for the consideration of this honor
able Court that, as counsel, careful of their
own reputation as of the interest-of their client,
in a case of such magnitude as this, so out of
the ordinary range of professional experience,
where so much responsibility is felt, they sub
mit to the candid consideration of the Court
that they have a light to ask for themselves
such opportunity to discharge their duty as
seems to them to be absolutely necessary.

Madison, Ga. March 23, 18C8.
Hon. E. G Oabaniss, Chairman, &c.:—
* * * * *
From a careful examination of the or
dinance of the Atlanta Convention, pro
viding for the election of the 20th of
April next (which ordinance I had not
seen until within the last three days) in
coun* ction with the reconstruction laws
of Congo ss, 1 am not eligible to the of
fice, and could not conscientiously enter
upon the discharge of its duties. This
reason alone is sufficient to determine my
course, for my election, if it could be se
cured would be of no practical benefit to
the people, in the event of the ratification
of the Constitution, unless I could quali
fy and discharge the duties of the. office.
But I confess that other reasons of strong
moral obligation impel me to the same
conclusion. I regard the election of Gov
ernor and Legislature at- this time of vital
importance to all the people of Georgia
without distinction of party, class or race.
Upon the Governor with the concurrence
of the Senate, should the proposed Con
stitution be ratified and approved, will
devolve the appointment of the entire
Judiciary of the State, (the Ordinaries,
Judges of Corporation Courts, and one
Justice of the Peace in each Militia Dis
trict excepted) the terms of office of the
Judges of the Supreme Court being fixed
at 12 years, that of Superior Court Judges
at 8 years, and of the Senatorial District
Judges at 4 years.
liow essential to praciical good govern
ment a wise and pure Judiciary is, I need
not now slop to argue. Upon the Legis
lature will devolve, with the recommen
dation and assent of the Governor, the for
mation of the entire frame-work of our
laws under the new order of things creat
ed by this Constitution, should it be rati
fied and approved.
IIow important then that the Gover
nor should be a wise and pure man, fami
liar with the interests and peculiarities of
the whole population, and these Legisla
tors able and patriotic law makers. How
can any man, with a spark of patriotism
in his heart, stand in the way of perfect
harmony among all good men, without
distinctiou of party, and without regard
to past differences of opinion, wdio are
now disposed to unite in the effort to res
cue Georgia from the clutch of grasping
adventurers, and greedy plunderers.
The good people of Georgia—all the
good people of the State—must have, and
shall have, if I can bring it to pass, but
one candidate for Governor, that all the
good may cast their votes upon one good
man with a good hope of success. Such
a man I regard Judge David Irwin to be
—a native Georgian -familiar with the
interests, and peculiarities, and wants of
our entire population—identified in every
respect with the honor and prosperity of
the State, and who, I feel every confi
dence, if elected, would shape its legisla-
lation and mould its judiciary with an
eye single to the good of all the people.
It is tr.ue that he and I have not always
agreed in the past, nor am I prepared to
say that we now fully accord in onr views,
hut after a diligent inquiry, I am satisfied
he can come nearer uniting all, who love
Georgia, and would save her from plunder
and degradation, than any man within
the range of my acquaintance j and the
very fact that he is now a candidate,
brought out by private solieatation of men
of all parties and shades of opinion, (as I
happen to know,) will, in my judgment,
concentrate upon him a heavier ballot.
Will you pardon me, Mr, Chairman,
for throwing out these suggestion to you
and through you and your Committee to
the people of Georgia. I know that in
so doiug, I am perhaps transcending the
ordinary bounds of a letter, declining a
candidacy for office tendered; but my
excuse is, that the vital issue before the
people is a good Governor or a bad Gov
ernor—a Georgian thoroughly identified
with her interests, honor, aud glory, or
an adventurer with plunderers at his
heels; and the further fact, that Judge
Irwin being already in the field, even if
we could find one man likely to unite
the good, honest vote of the State, (which
I very much doubt,) it is now too late to
cast about for the mau, and the effort to
do so would complicate matters, and in
the end perhaps insure defeat.
One more thought, aud I have done:
It is to be hoped that those good men
who have not, heretofore, registered for
fear of thereby committing themselves to
the constitutionality of the Reconstruc
tion Acts, will not fail to do so at the
earliest opportunity. The issue how pre
sented is vastly practical. The question
involved in the election of Governor, in
my judgment, looking to the powers con
ferred-upon him by the proposed Consti
tution, is that of self preservation the
protection of life, liberty and property.
Our people commit themselves, therefore,
to nothing by registering or voting.
Again thanking the Committee, and
the people they represent, for the honor
done me, I remain,
Yours, very respectfully,
Augustus Reese.

A. Proclamation from His Imperial
Highness Thaddeus I.
Washington, March 11, 1868.*
11 lion. J. W. Forney.—Dear Sir: I
have long, and with such ability as I
could command reflected upon the sub
ject of the Declaration of Independence,
and finally have come to the sincere con
clusion that universal suffrage was one of
the inalienable rights intended to be em
braced in that instrument by our fathers
ut the time of the declaration ; and that
they were prevented from inserting it in
the Constitution by slavery alone.
“ They had no intention to abandon it
as one of the finally-enumerated rights,
but simply to postpone it.
“The 'Committee .on Reconstruction
have inserted that provision, with great
unanimity, in the bil^admitting the State
of Alabama into the Union.
“They have finally resolved that no
Stale shall be admitted into the Union
unless under that condition.
“ I have deemed this notice necessarry
that the States now in process of con
struction or reconstruction may be advised
thereof.

A Valuable Political Scrap.
LETTER OF MONTGOMERY BLAIR—MR.
LINCOLN ESCAPED IMPEACHMENT ON
LY IN THE GRAVE.
Washington, March 12.— Dear Sir:
The World of a recent date publishes
what purports to be a note to President
Lincoln, signed by twenty five Senators,
which, it is said, was presented to him in
1864, with a view to procure my removal
from his Cabinet. As several of the
signers were then both political and per
sonal friends, aud continued so, and some
were not at the date aforesaid members
of the Senate, I think the paper is of
doubtful authority.
As my withdrawal from the Cabinet
has been a matter of public interest, ail
real facts connected with it bear even
more forcibly on the arguments for which
you adduced the Senatorial letter. I will
recall them briefly :
The Republican National Convention,
you wiil remember, adopted a resolution
in purport like the Senatorial note, say
ing in effect that the Cabinet should
agree with the President in political prin
ciple, and appointed a committee to desig
nate the person sought to be removed by
the Convention. I was the person whose
removal was sought; not, indeed, as they
pretended, because I disagreed with the
President, but really because I agreed
with him, and been active and earnest in
thwarting the endeavors of the powerful
men in the Convention and in Congress
to make the dogmas which have now be
come the platform of the Radical party
the platform of the Republican Conven
tion, and to defeat Mr. Lincoln’s nomina
tion, whom they then knew, as well as
since his proclamation pronouncing the
Wade and Davis Reconstruction bill un
constitutional, opposed all their schemes.
Not appreciating Mr, Lincoln, they be
lieved and openly declared that his op
position was due to what they called the
Blair influence. Hence I offered my re
signation when the rasolution was pre
sented by the committee. He said they
had demanded my removal, but that he
would not sacrifice a friend to appease
enemies. The pressure continued. The
Chairman of the National Committee
wrote Mr. Lincoln despairing letters.—
Fremont was continued in the field. A
new convention was called to meet in
Cincinnati on the 30th of September,
1864. Messrs. Wade and Davis, chair
men respectively of the Reconstruction
Committees of the two Houses, issued a
manifesto denouncing him as a usurper,
and charging him with opposing con
gressional reconstruction aud allowing
the Southern people to amend the consti
tutions of their States aud reorganizing
their State governments under the Con
stitution of the United States for the
base motive of promoting his own ainbi-
tiou
At this time the Radicals made mo
tions to withdraw their opposition. One
of the conditions was the acceptance of
my resignation, I insisted that they
should be granted, and my father joined
very earnestly in this request.
Mr. Lincoln’s published letter recog
nizing me as a disinterested friend aud a
faithful officer, my speech at the Cooper
Institute immediately after, giving some
of these facts, and contemporaneous his
tory fully substantiate all of them.
But can proof of the hostility of the
Radicals to Lincoln be required when
Mr, Wade, who denounced him as a
usurper and confederate with rebels for
the base purpose of subserving bis own
ambition, has been elevated by them to
the Presidency of the Senate, with a view
to putiing him in Mr. Lincoln’s place, be
cause he was and is the true representa
tive of their principles and plans ? Or
can any one now doubt that they struck
me down because 1 was an earnest aud
faithful friend of the President, to whom,
and not to me, they were hostile? Mr.
Lincoln fully recognized thi3 in bis con
versation with me at the time, and would,
if he had lived, have made it known to
the couutry.
He overcame his feelings for the time,
yielded his friend to the paramount pub
lic interest involved in the election ; but
it must be remembered that he refused to
sanction the Wade and Davis Reconstruc
tion bill, which declared the State govern
ments of Louisiana and Arkansas null
and void, and assumed the power for Con
gress to set up governments iu the South
ern States, eveu whilst his election was
pending; and that in his iast public ut
terauces, on the 11th of April, he con
demned the action of Congress in refus
ing seats to the members from Louisiana
and Arkansas. Ho would never, there-
From the Knoxville Press and Herald.
Knoxville Invaded.
The Ku-Klux Klan Organized at
tiie Home of Brownlow !
It is our painful duty to announce that
the dreaded band of the Ku-Klux Klan
lias made its appearance even within the
sacred precincts of this holy shrine ol loy
alty. At that darkest hour which just
precedes the dawn of day, on yesterday
morning, a few faithful Africans, just
rousing from their slumbers, beheld a
ghostly band of mysterious horsemen clad
in cerements of white, mounted upon pale
gray horses, shod with felt, and one bear
ing on high a spotless banner inscribed
in characters of vivid flame with the ap
palling word “ Revenge !” Not a sound
was heard as the ghustly band moved
steadily through the street; no clinkliug
of scabbard and jingling of spurs resonud-
ed on the still morning air; no footfall
fell upon the startled ears of the bewilder
ed loyalists; but sileutly and calmly, as
though moving iu air, that awsome band
weut steadily on—on through the street,
to the bluff at the river, and over it,
marching then as steadily through the
thin air to the farther side, and then, just
as the first red streaks of dawn were visi
ble in the East, the whole squardron van
ished suddenly, and the white banner,
with its iearful inscription, faded away
from sight.
As an aged African residing at East-
port was proceeding to the spring just be
fore daylight yesterday morning, and at
the same time that ibis baud was march
ing through the streets of Knoxville, he
turned to look at his cabin, when, to his
dismay, he beheld iu letters of fire upon
its walls the following thrilling words:
K. K. K.
Baker’s Tomb, Eastern Division,
Windy Month, Cloudy Day,
Bloody Hour.
Ku-Klux !—the hour approacheth !
Shake up, dry bones, and meet on the
Mysterious Circle of the Hollow Sphere !
From Ea>t aud West, from North and
South we come! To measure justice
for the traitor’s doom ! When thick
darkness reigns, then is the hour to
strike ? ! ? !
By order of Great Grand Centaur.
Sumy b.
Urlagile.
The poor Arfriean loyalist fell fainting
to the earth, aud remained in a swoon till
the warm rays of the rising sun dispelled
the darkness, aud trembling he returned
to his cabin.
In couseqeuenee of these strange man
ifestations, the loyal element in our midst
was thrown into great excitement yester
day. It would seem that the members of
the Klan had indeed burst the cerements
of the grave and were uow wandering
through this soil consecrated by the sa
cred tread of our great apostle of loyalty,
the sainted Brownlow.
Anxious consultations were held yes
terday at the headquarters of loyalty.—
Something has got to be done, and that
quickly.

shall awake also with those who cry with
the millions, laugh or weep by ordei&of
their newspaper, cheer or scorn ad cmi-
turn.
When a few scanty and poverty-stricken
I insurance companies in New York offend
; ed the Jews by an order not to insure
their property, there was nois*, meetings,
resolutions, etc.; now, when one who out
raged the Jew beyond measure or com
parison, one who outraged the Jew, the
man, and the citizen, the laws of the Uni
ted States, and the sacred Caose of justice
and humanity, is proposed as President
of the United States, nobody has the
courage or the rectitude to talk. Is this
principle ? Is it manful ? Is it honora
ble? Let cowards be silent for utility’s
sake, but let men speak out honorably.
Grant’s Expulsion of the Jews.
“ The Israelite ” has a scathing article
on Grant’s brutal Order No. 11, banish
ing the Jews, without distinction, from
the Department of Tennessee. We ap
pend an extract:
The Order No. 11. fell most savagely
upon the old Jewish residents iu that de
partment; but there was no Senator from
those States in Washington, except from
Kentucky. Therefore, Senator Powell
from Kentucky, in behalf of his outraged
constituents, iutrodueed in substance the
the same preamble and resolution in the
Senate, where it was defeated in the most
shameful manner, where but J. viz:
Messrs Davis, Harding, Latham, Nesmith,
Powell, Saulsbury and Wilson, of Mis
souri, had the moral rectitude to stand by
an outraged class of their fellow citizens.
President Lincoln could not persuade
himself for a long time that Gen. Grant
issued that order; but when Mr. Haskel,
of Paducah, Ky. succeeded in convincing
him of the fact, be immediately revoked
it, aud expressed his indignation at the
outrage in the strongest terms, in pre
sence of Messis, Guriy Liliemhal aud
Wise, from Cincinnati, and Bijur, from
Louisville.
There was nobody, at the time, to de
fend the despotic and barbarous order of
Geuerat Graut; not a voice was heard in
its favor or defence; but plenty—besides
President Lincoln, seven Senators and
fifty three members of Congress—in its
condemnation. Every free man felt out
raged by the lawless ukase of a military
chieftain, whom they now want to force
upon us as Chief Magistrate of the coun
try.
We have to say this; As a Jew, we
cannot and will not vote for a man who
lias done us a more shameless injustice
than any man in power in this century
has done us in any civilized country. —
Therefore we hope and expect that the
entire Jewish press will come out boldly
and justly against the movement to nomin
ate Gen. Grant as President af the United
States. Again, as a citizen who loves
his country and her free institutions, who
considers it his solemn duty to protect
justice and fredorn as much as it may be
iu his power, we cannot and must not en
trust the banner of justice and freedom
to the hands of a man who, when posses?
sing the brief power of a commander of a
volunteer army, (aud among them thous
ands of Jews,) abused k so outrageously,
and trampled upon his fellow citizens be
cause they were too weak to resist.
That man, in our estimation, is ungt to
be the chief of a republic whose citizens
claim equal justice and equal freedom.—
Therefore, we hope and expect from all
political leaders to drop the scheme of
nominating Gen. Grant. As a man, we
feel an aversion to every person who dis
respects the just claims of humanity and

WORM DESTROYER:
Villanow, Walker County, Gi )
June 29,1806. ’
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I have recently
given your “Worm Destroyer” several trial/
and find it wonderfully efficacious. It has cot
failed in a single instance to have the wished-
for effect. I am doing a pretty large country
practice, and have daily use for some article of
the kind. I am free to confess that I know of
no remedy recommended by the ablest authors
that is so certain and speedy in its effects. Oa
the contrary they are uncertain iu the extreme.
My object in writing to you is to find out upon
what terms I can get the medicine directly
from you. If I can get it upon easy terms, I
shall use a g r eat deal of it. I am aware that
the use of such articles is contrary to the teach
ings and practice of a great majority of tha
regular line of M. D.’s, but I see no just cam
or good sense in discarding a remedy which wj
know to be efficient, simply because we may bo
ignorant of its combination. For my part, I
shall make it a rule to use all and any means
to alleviate suffering humanity which 1 mayk
able to command—not hesitating because soma
one more ingenious than myself may hava
learned its effects first, and secured the sole,
right to use that knowledge. However, I am
by no means an advocate and supporter of tha
thousands of worthless nostrums that flood i
the country, that purport to cure all manner
of disease to which human flesh is heir. Please
reply soon, and inform me of your best terms.
I am. sir, most respectfully,
Julius P. Clement, M. D.

LETTER FROM HIS MOTHER.
Benton Barracks, Mo., April 30.1866.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the effi
ciency of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing |
and beneficial qualities it possesses, I sendyoa
the following statement of my case.
I was wounded about two years ago—was!
taken prisoner and confined for sixteen month*.
Being moved so often, my wounds have nd
healed yet. I have not sat up a moment since
I was wounded. I am shot through the hips.
My general health is impaired, and I need
something to assist nature. 1 have morefai"
in your Sarsaparilla than in anything else,
wish that that is genuine. Please express m#
half a dozen bottles, and oblige

P. S.—The following was writted April 30,

Johnson.
Dr. Bull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C.)
Johnson was a skillful surgeon and physician
in Central New York, where he died, leaving
the above C. P. Johnson to my care. At tuir-
teen years of age he had a chronic diarrhea
and scrofula, for which I gave him your bars- -
parilia. It cured iiim. I have for tea V'^
recommended it to many in New York, LJl f
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and. ge^ I
debility. Perfect success has attended it. I
cures, effected in some cases of scrofula and f'\
were almost miraculous. I am very auNiou-
my son to again have recourse to your &rsapa
rilla. He is fearful of getting a spurious ^
cle, hence his writing to you for it- *
wounds weie terrible, but I be Hove he flu •-
