Judge T. J. Withers made a report,with accompany
ing resolutions, favoring the appointing of delegates
to the Southern States, and to remove any doubts as to
the basis upon which a Southern Confederacy should
be firmed, the delegates to the several slaveholding
States be instructed to present the Constitution of the
United States, which could at least be adopted as the
I Constitution of a provisional governmentlfor the South.
I The adoption of the Constitution of the United States
Was urked on the grounds that it emanated from the
Ifaihera of the old republic, and was the work of the
Hands of those who achieved ocr ^independence from
England. It is & Constitution well and familiarly

for the honor ^conferred on him, by inviting hii

that in a few days Florida would declare her Indepen

tunes of her Palmetto sister.
A resolution favoring a recess from four o’clock, De
cember 23, to January 15, was laid on the table.
A resolution was offered instructing the Governor to
adopt prompt ar.d efficient measures to protect the
Slate from any invasion, attack or. interference with

States of the United States—be sent to the Governors
of the several slave-holding States for the information
of their respective States, and Legislatures, and Con

Some discussion followed the introduction of the

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
Condensed frorr the Courier's report.
Fridat, Dec. 21st, I860.
Mfi. Rhett, Chairman of the Committee, to
whom was committed the duty of preparing an
Address to the people of the Southern State3,
to declare the causes which justify the secession
of South Carolina from the Federal Union, made
their report as follows :
Me. Cams I beg permission to read the draft of
an Ordinance for the purpose of i eferring it to the
same Committee without any discussion.
Whereas, the Federal Government of the United
States of America h»s, from time to time, wub the
content of this State, created certain offices of profit
and trust, ai well within as without the limits of this
Slate.
And, whereas, divers persons, as well as citizens of
this State as others, have, with the consent of this
Slate, and by the appointment of the said Federal
Government, undertaken the execution of the functions
of the said offices, and become bound by official oaths
and heavy j>enaJt‘es to Ui“ said Federal Goverment fer
the faltfiftii performance of the same.
And, whereas, the suddden arrest of the functions of
the said offleers would work great inconvenience to
the citizeus of. this State, and grievous hardship to the
parties as aforesaid.
Therefore, for the convenience of this State, and for
the relief of said persons.
Be it ordained, and by the people of Uie State of
South Carolina, in Convention assembled, it is or-
dained,
That all persons who w»e in occupation of any of
fice of proflit or trust under Government of the United
States of America immediately previous to the adoption
of the ordinance ol Secession, shall continue to exer
cise the functions of the same in like manner and
form as betore the adoption of said Ordinance until
otherwise ordered.
And that ail laws of the Federal Government or the
United States of America, which shall have been ab
rogated by virtue of said Ordinance, are hereby de
clared of lull force and effect for -the recited purposes
and ho other.
And be it further ordained, that the operation of this
Ordinance may at any time he suspended, in whole
or in part, by the Governor of this State at his discre
tion. * .
And that the General Assembly ofthis State is hereby
authorized and empowered to repeal the same when
soever it shall by them be deemed expedient
The resolutions were referred to the Committee, and
also ordered to be printed.
.Mr. J. I. Middleton offered the following, [ar.d
moved that they be relerred to the Committee on For
eign Relations and Postal Arrangements;:
Resolved, That until the General Assembly shall
otherwise determine, all goods, wares and merchandize
imported into this Commonwealth, be subjected to a
rate of duties amounting to one-half, or that exacted
by the late Government of the United States, except
ing all goods, wares and merchandize imported from
any of the slaveholding States of this Continent, at
amity with this Commonwealth, the products of which
shall be free of all duties.
Resolved, That until the General Assembly shall
otherwise provide duties on the tonaago of all vessels
resorting to- the porta of this Commonwealth, shall be
at the rate heretofore exacted by the late Government
of the United States.
Mr. Mazyck expressed the object of his resolution,
saying there were many laws of the United states
which would still be retained by South Carolina until
the popular wilt shall change them—such as the laws in
relation to authors and inventions by which private
rights are secured. The laws under Congrets also
fixes the standard of weights and measures. It would
be a serious injury, perhaps to change them. He took
it for granted the Convention could see the importance
if this resolution, and moved that the blank be filled
seven and that the resolution be adopted.
NA|u.ks. I would moB' respecttully suggested to
Mr. the rcs ,,iution that in a matter involving
tho mover^^j, an( j j e gai accumen, whether it would

be thirteen. to fill the blank with
Mr. Mazyck. I will then nwr

be put, unless it is otherwi e the wish of the Conven
tion.
Mr. f. D. Bichard80X. It appears to me that the
only motion that can property be made now is a motion
that the paper ehonld first be considered.
The President. That has been agreed to already.
Mr. Mekmingre read the rules of ihe House of Re
presentatives in reference to a question under debate,
showing lhat the motion to lay on the table had pre
cedence.
The question being put, the motion to lay on the ta
ble was carried.
(seventh day.)
Judge Magratii asked leave to present the following
Ordinance, for the purpose of .having it referred :
That until otherwise provided for By the General As
sembly of the State of South Carolina, the Judges cf
the Courts of Law in this State shall have a like cog
nizance *f all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdic
tion ; and that the said Judges shall further have juris
diction of all offences under the laws of the United
States, relating to the Postofflee Department, the Pub
lic Customs, seamen and offences upon the high seas.
That the laws of the United States, which were
in operation at the time of the secession of this State,
in relation to the several offences, be and are hereby
retained as parts ot the laws of this State, until Other
wise provided by the General Assembly of the State,
saving and excepting therefrom so much as relates to
the Courts in which such offences shall be tried. That
the said Judges shall have power to appoint such offi
cers under them as may be necessary for the furtherdis-
charge of the duties herein provided. And that In
such eases as have been tried by a Jury, tne trial shall
be by a Jury, according to the mode of force in this
state, in relation thereto. And in all cases in the ad
miralty and maritime iurisdiction to which the trial by
Jury has not been established, the form and mode ol
proceeding shall be such as have been heretofore in
use in the Courts within this State, having cognizance
of such cases.
Rele.-red to the committee on the constitution of the
State.
An address to the people of the slaveholding States .
was adopted, but its length prevents our publishing it '
to-day; we will endeavor to make room for it to-mor

IditorxaL Accession.—The Augusta True
Ikxoerai, of Sunday morning, contains the
&utatory of John B. Weems. Esq., wha has
btorae connected with that pa,>e- as one of its
L Eitcrs. From a long acquaintance with Mr.
^em* we feel authrised to congratulate the
riders of the Democrat upon this accession to
it already able editorial corp^. Mr. Weems
^en tlie necessary experience is gained, will
!jonventi>»n briefly to state the causes wtlich induced
the passage of the Ordinance.
South Carolina did not desire to take the lead in se
cession, hut her Legislature being in seesion for the
purpose of apoointing Presidential Electors, first lelt
the blow inflict d by the election of an enemy to South
ern institutions, elected by Abolition States upon
Abolition issue*. She felt that- her safety was im
perilled ; that duty to herseir demanded prompt action
as the only means ot meeting the impending danger,
and she called this Convention to take the proper steps
to save the Commonwealth. The long-continued vio
lations by the Federal authority of the constitutional
compact between the States produced years ago earnest
and repeated remonstrances and wamines, not only
from South Carolina, bus most of the Southern States.
These remonstrances were unheeded, until at length
this State was driven to take vigorous measures for re
dress. When it was found she would no longer submit,
a compromise was offered and accepted. How long
its t<-rms were observed let the records of the couutry
a *Tue threatened storm being averted, the.bad faith of
our Northern associates speedily displayed itselfinre-
newed efforts to plunder tho South. When a success-
ftil war brought us accessions of Territories, these
were graspeu by our unscrupulous allies, and monopo
lized to the entire exclusion of Southern mon with
tlieir property. They have taken possession of nearly
all the Territories, and insolently proclaimed that there
should be no mor slave States.
Tuey have waged for along eerles of years an unceas
ing warfare against the institution of domeetic slavery
established in the Southern States, with an avowed in
tention to undermine, circumscribe and overthrow it
And this notwithstanding the existence aB well as the
lawfulness of slavery were recognized by them in the
articles of Union.
They have iaught their people to believe that slavery
is a curse, and tnat they are responsible if it is suffered
longer to exist.
Tney have generated in the whole Northern mind a
haired against Southern institutions and Southern
men. They proclaimed that an “irrepressible conflict”
existed between the systems of Northern and Southern
labor, and that ore or the other must go down, and at
length defiantly and insolently declare that the battle
was won.
The fruits of this nefarious warfare were at length
displayed in the armed invasion of one of the States
by some of iheir infatuated dapes, and by conflagrations
and poisoning in other Stales. The orderly and con
tented stave population of the South at length became
agitated and restless, and a feverish feeling pervaded
the Southern mind, and for the first time a sense of in
security began to be felt, the necessary result of these
diabolical machinations.
And these injuries were inflicted not by the public
enemy, but by States bound to us by a solemn compact,
the avowed object of which was to insure domestic
tranquility.
As citizens of the United States, and under cover of
their constitutional privilege, they had access to our
homes, aad there endeavored to diffuse their deadly
poison, and this they had been taught to regard was a
duty.
The peace, safety and honor oi South Carolina re
quired imperatively that she should no longer continue
in alliance with a people thus faithless to their consti
tutional obligations. From men, whom no treaty c uild
bind, she held it idle to ask for additional guarantees,
and resolved, with unparalleled unanimity, to separate
herself from them for over.
Some of the members of the Georgia Legislature
have urged thei»’ final State action to be deferred until
a meeting of the Southern States can be had to confer
together lor ooramou rafety; but simultaneously we
have received from Alabama, Mississippi and from
Georgia communications urging immediate and final
action as indispensible to the safety ef the entire South.
These communications are from sources entitled to our
Commissioners, to tTelUw „ .. „ ..

perty, held by the Government of the United Stales, as
agent of the Confederated States, of which Souta Caro
lina was recently a member; and, generally, to nego
tiate as all other measures and arrangements proper to
be made and adopted, in the exist.ng relation ef the
parties, and for the continuance of peace und amity
between this Commonwealth and the Government at
Washington.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

What Virginia means by Co-operatlou.
The following extract from an article in the
Richmond Whig, the leading organ of the Vir
ginia co-operationists, shows the desire and
policy of that portion of our southern breth-
ren: , ,
“ In our judgment, theu, the first and fore
most objeet ot such co-operatiou should be, io
make a firm and temperate demand upon the
Northern States lor a redress of the grievances
of which the South so justly complains, and
has so long and fruitlessly complained. This
demand, in our opinion, can only be properly
and successfully prefered in a General Couven-
vention of ail the States, empowered to suggest
amendments to the Constitution, to be ratified
afterwards* by the Conventions of the several
States. Constitutional amendments offer the
only satisfactory and permanent remedy for ex
isting at.d prospective difficulties and evils. We
have tried Legislative Compromises, and have
foiind them inadequate to the purpose, except
temporarily. And as wc desire to see an end
put to all controversy bt tween the North and
South on the slavery’question, at once and for
ever, wc see no other means of reaching that
object, except by amendments to the Constitu
tion, which shall admit of no misconstruction,
evasion or doubt. Co-operating, therefore, in
this important matter, we should entertain no
fear of not having conceded to the South by the
North whatever is just and necessary to the se
curity and protection of our peculiar institu
tions. Certain it is. we Ihiuk, that the large
Border and Northwestern non-slaveholding
States would readily and cheerfully grant us
what reasonable add.tlonal securities we might
demand. And if the New England States re
fuse the necessary concessions, they should be
left out of the Union, and be permitted to set
up for themselves.
“We repeat, then,that the Southern States,m
a state of co-operation, should first direct their
efforts to the preservation andsecurity of South
ern rights in this Union. And to that end, they
should demand the caU of a National Conven
tion, and that at as early a day as practicable.
And if, as we remarked on yesterday,the contro
versy cannot be definitely and satisfactorily
settled by such a body, it would be demon
strated that the slaveholding and non slave
holding States should no longer live together in
the same Union, but should part and set up
separately for themselves. And the failure of a
VottAtvil fV\nvAnt.inn t.n
utmost respect.
If Conference of the Southern States is had, it can
have but two objects; one to patch up a hollow trace
with anti-slavery, which denounces our institutions as
a crime, and which will hold all the power of the gov
ernment, in all its depaitmenls, in all timo to come ;
the other, to concert measures for a final separation,
and for the formation of a Southern Confederacy.—
South Carolina has ordained her final separation from
the Uuicn with the North.never to be renewed; and this
she has done under a high sense of the responsibilities
which attach to her and her relations to her Southern
sister States. Having made the consequences, she has
resolved to go out of the Union alone sooner than to
HU bin it to open as well as direct warfare carried on
against her peace and safety.
The other object of a Southern Confederacy she earn
estly desires and cordially invites. The committee
submit the following resolution:
Resolved, That a copy of this report be transmitted
by the President to the Hon. John Billups. President of
a meeting of a portion of the members of the General
Assembly of Georgia,
W F. DeSaussure.
In behalf of the Committee.
Mr. Burnftt moved that the report be adopted and
printed.
Mr. Withers thought the report should be printed
but not adopted until ih« members had an opportunity’
9t reading a^d examining its contents.
Mr. Burnett thought they should adopt it at once.
It was a very important matter, and the citizens of
Georgia who sent the communication to this body
National’Convention to adjust sectional dif
ferences and disputes should be immediately
followed by the adoption of a proposition for
peaceable separation, accompanied by a fair and
equitable division and distribution of the pnb
lie property of the present United .States.”

Washington Items.
Washington, Dec. 24.—The South Carolina
Delegation leaves for home to-morrow. A
change in the manner of withdrawal was deter
mined upon to-dny, in order to prevent a dis
turbance in the House of Representatives.
Several South Carolina Clerks resigned their
positions in the department to-day. The alarm
ing rumor which prevailed here in regard to a
revenue cutter, which was supposed to have
been off the Charleston bar, has subsided. The
Administration is satisfied that there will be no
collision between the Federal forces and the
authorities of South Carolina. Efforts are being
made here to contradict the Courier's dispatch
with regard to Colonel Anderson’s instructions;
but the main statement is considered authentic
The recent defalcation here continues to create

Executive Department.
Charleston, S. C., December 24, I860.
By his Excellency * rancib W. Pickens, Gov-
pernor and Comraander-in-Chief in and over the
State of South Carolina :
Whereas, the eood people of this State,
Conveation assembled, by an Ordinance, unani
mously adopted and ratified, on the Twentieth
day of December, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty, repealed an
Ordinance of the people of this State, adopted
on the twenty-third day of May, in the year of
our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eigh
ty-eight, and have thereby dissoried the Union
between the State of South Carolina and other
States, under the name of the United States of
America: , _ , .
I, therefore, as Governor and Comroander-in
Chief, in and over the State of South Carolina,
by virtue of authority in me vested, do hereby
proclaim to the world that this State Is, as she
has a right to be, a separate, sovereign, free and
independent State ; aad, as such, has a right to
levy war, conclude peace, negotiate treaties,
leagues, or covenants, and to do all acts what
soever that rightfully appertain to a Free and In
dependent State. ^
Given under my hand and the Seal of the State,
at Charleston, this Twenty-fourth day of De
cember, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty, and in the eighty-
filth year of the Sovereignty and Independ
ence of South Carolina. _
F. W. Pickens
Valdosta, Georgia. Dec. 20th, 1860.
Jfr. Editor:—Thinking that it might be of
some interest to yourself and readers to know
the positions of the candidates in Lowndes, I
have concluded to give ^iem, with your per
mission, through the columns of your valuable
paper, in order that the people might know
whom they are voting for, and what their can
didates will do, if elected, in the Convention to
meet on the 16th of January next. The friends
of the candidates met ahd placed them before
the people, irrespective of party, upon the fol
lowing principles, which I will state, to avoid
giving you the resolutions.
Two of the candidates who profess to repre
sent the State Rights party are committed to
immediate and unconditional secession; in other
words, they are for Disunion at any and all haz
ards, it matters not what may h.appen between
this and the 4th of March next. They are op
posed to inviting other States to co-operate
with us in demanding our Constitutional rights,
or ingoing out of the Union, If we cannot
get them without it. They are further opposed
to making .any effort whatever, in any shape or
form, to preserve the Union of the States upon
any terms that may be proposed by the North
or suggested by the Convention, and they are
bound, if elected, and if they renJSin true to
their principles when the Delegates assemble
in Convention at Milledgeville, to vote the State
immediately out of the Union.
The other two candidates, who represent tne
Southern Rights Co-operation party, are for
secession, if the Convention, in its wisdom and
discretion, after due deliberation, can adopt no
plan that will secure the Constitutional rights
of the South without it.
Thus I have stoned fairly the positions of the
candidates before the people in this county^
and you will readily perceive that we have none
of that class before us called “ submi^-
sionista.”
Two are per se Dlsaniouist and the other two
are Disunionist with a cause; but remove the
cause and they are Uniouist.
It docs really appear to me that the position
of the State Rights candidates is ultra, hasty,
and inconsiderate, and does not show the part
of wisdom and discretion in tlie present slate
of our political affairs. Sir, if you insuit a brave
man either by word or deed, he would first de
mand of you to retract your offensive language,
or au explanation of your conduct, belore he
would challenge you to meet him upon the
field of honor, to decide the matter in open
combat. So should the people of the South act;
no one will doubt but that we have been insult*
ed by the abolitionists of the North, both by
word and deed, through the columns of thei r
infamous sheet.-, by tlieir speeches, and also by
legislative enactment, for they have denounced
us as tyrants, murderers and oppressors of men
that ough. to be free and equal with ourselves.
They have nullified one of the provisions of the
Constitution that unites ns as confederated
States, thereby violating the bond that was
signed by our fathers, which is alike binding
upon all. Shall we then, like brave men, true
to Southern honor and Southern rights, demand
a retraction of the offensive language that is
hurled at ns through their presses, and that is
recorded upon tlie statute books, or shall we,
like a routed army, flee out of the Union, not
daring to assert our rights, or to tell them of
their insolence and bad faith towards us ? It
does really appear to me, sir, that there is but
one course lor the people of the South to pur
sue, and that is to unite aud demand our Con
stitutional rights of tlie North. If they refuse,
then Set us immediately disrupt the last tie
that binds us to the Confederacy, and no longer
he one people, but two. The example of our
fathers at the beginning of the revolution is
worthy of imitation by the people ot the Sooth
during the present difficulties. When tlie colo
nies were oppressed by the odious laws of taxa
tion that was imposed upon them by the par
liament of England, and that too without a re
presentation, they did not i mined lately. „b
'Tte&fcTi-GOJwifr. .s e i v~
to be a free peopTeTbut almost simultaneously
and without previous concert, a proposition for
a general Congress, was put forth in several of
the colonies. The time and place for holding
that Congress was ou the fifth of September,
1774, when the delegates from the various colo
nies assembled in Carpenter’s Hall, in Phila
delphia. Their deliberations were orderly but
firm. Loyalty to the Crown, notwithstanding
its oppressions, was a leading theme of their
debates. Not a word was whispered of dismem
berment and independence, but they solemnly
consulted with each other upon the best me ms
of maintaining the integrity of the British realm
compatible with tho preservation of their own
inalienable rights. To this end tlieir efforts
were directed, and they humbly petitioned the
King, remonstrated with parliament, and ap
pealed to tlieir brethren iu Great Britain for
ustice; but their petitions and remonstrances
were in vain.
Again, in 1775, Congress assembled while
the colonies were in arms and successfully op
posing the force of British bayonets, and they
petitioned and remonstrated, but their petitions
were unheeded and their reinonstrdhces insult-
gly answered. An inquiring mind would here
ik what good did t heir petitions and remon
strances do? Sir, they were an evidence of the
loyalty of the colonies to the realm—that they
were not willing to separate front their mother
country without first exhausting all honorable
means of securing their rights—that they were
not for immediate separate notion. Besides, it
was to the nations of the earth, a proof of the
justice of their cause, that tlieir object was
simply to relieve themselves from tho aggres
sive laws that were unjustly forced upon them
by the mother country; and that appeal secured
for them the sympathies of France, Russia, and
other nations, aud finally tlieir assistance, with
out which we never would have been a free and
independent people.
I ask now : are we better and wiser than our
fathers who framed this government before us,
who spent thalr treasures and spilt their blood
to achieve the liberties which we now enjoy ?
No man can lay his hand upon his heart and be
lore God and his country say that we.are. Let
us then, if we are loyal to our government, to
the constitution of the United States, simul
taneously, as the Colonies did, call a Southern
Congress or Convention, and demand our rights
and remonstrate with our brethren of the
North in regard to their conduct and their un
just laws depriving us of our property. It will
show to the world that we ask nothing of them
but justice. It will secure the co-operation of
other Southern States that are not now willing
to go out of the Union without it, and it wifi
unite us in sympathy, feeling and sentiment,
and bind us together as a band ol brethren.
Not only have we the example of our fathers
in regard to this matter, but the example of the
fiebians is also worthy of our consideration,
: or it shows what a united demand and remon
strance has already accomplished. WhAn they
rebelcd against the authority of th® patri
cians, they united and prepared them
selves for defence; the patricians likewise
prepared themselves for battle, and the
ultra and the hasty were for immediate action—
but the counsels of the prudent and the wise
prevailed and a conference was proposed, and
n that conference the plebians demanded that
the aggressive laws that were forced upon them
should be abrogated, and that they should have
a representation in making the laws for the
government of the people. The patricians at
first would not yield, but when they saw that
the plebians were firm and inflexible in their
demand, they granted it. In that conference
was laid the foundation of the greatest republic
the world has ever known.
Shall we not profit then by the course of our
fathers and the plebians who did so much for
the liberties of mankind. Every principle of
reason and of justice requires us to do it. The
lives that were sacrificed and the sufferings
that were borne by our forefathers, who en
dured so much sorrow and so many hardships
during the revolution, demand it. Shall we
not then make one effort to unite the Southern
States, in order that justice might be done to
all parties? Sir, a united^ demand could harm
no man nor State; the people of the South know
their rights, and will maintain them as well af
ter a demand as before, and Georgia, the Em
pire State of the South, should take the lead in
this matter. The world is watching her course
with almost breathless suspense.
But it may be said that some of the States
will go out of the Union before our convention
meets. Let them go. That will not prevent qs

TO COTTON PLANTERS.
The result of the late election, for President of the
United States, devclopcs the tact, that there is a party
in power who Arc seeking control of our consciences,
and the destruction of our property. The events that
are being developed, however, show that the Southern;
States will not submit to he ruled by such a power.—
These political difficulties indicate a change in our
Commercial relations with the Northern States, from
whence our supplies have been mostly reoeived, and a
return to a more legitimat ■ and direct trade. To those
who desire to promote this legitimate and direct trade,
if there are any such, and they are at a loss as to how
to accomplish this object, I will say to them that I will
receive Cotton destined for foreign markets; will
when desired, advance one half the value of the oot-
ton, at the port of embarkation ; will havo the cotton
shipped to Liverpool, if not otherwise directed, and
sold. Tho proceeds < f sale returned in gold and such
articles of produce as the planter may require. For all
advances, interea. will be charged at seven per cent.-
Charges on the other side, the usual commission for
selling cotton and purchasing supplies.

WE CHALLENGE
THUS WORLD
THEIR EQUAL!!
We do not profess to have discovered some Roots
‘ known only to the Indians of South America,” and a
cure for “ all diseases which the flesh is heir to,” but
we cltim to present to the public a truly valuable pre
paration, which every intelligent Physician in the coun
try will approve of and recommend, as a remedy for
INCIPIFNT CONSUMPTION,*
Weak Lungs ,Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Diseases of the
Nervous System, Paralysis. Piles, Diseases peculiar to
Females, Debility, and all cases requiring a Tonic, they
are
UNSURPASSED !
For-Sore Throat, so common among the Clergy, they
are truly valuable.
For the aged and infirm or for persons oi a weak
constitution—for Mi mis tore of the Gospel, Lawyers, and
all public speakers—lor Book-Keepers, Tailors, Soam-
stresseas, Modena, Art!it*, and «.u lading a
sedentary life, they will prove truly beneficial.
As a Beverage, they are wholesome, innocent, and
delicious to the taste. They produ o all the exhiliara-
ting effects of Brandy or Wine, without intoxicating;
und are a valuable remedy for persons addicted to ex
cessive use of strong drink, and wish to retrain from it.
They are pure, and entirely free from the poisons con-
lained in the adulterated Wines and Liquors with
which the country is flooded.
These Bitters not only CURE, but PREVENT Di^
ease, and should be used by all wt*^ live in a country
where the water is bad, or where Chills and Fevers are
prevalent. Being entirely innocent ana harmless, they
may be given lreely to Children and Infants with im
punity.
Phyeicians, Clergymen, and temperance advocates,
as an act of humanity, should assist in spreading these
truly valuable BITTERS over the land, and thereby
essentially aid lu banishing Darkness and Disea e.
