‘THE CONSPIRACY TO BREAK CP THE
UNION-THE PLOT AND IT3 DEVELOP
MENT -IKREFR.AGIBLE PROOF OF A DE
LIBERATE AKi) SETTLED PURPOSE TO
REVOLUi'IONISE THE GOVERNMENT
WHO ARE THE SUPPORTERS OF BRECK
INRIDGE AND LANE I—LET THE MASSES
READ AND PONDER.’
We beg the further indulgence of our readers,
while we will give as briefly as we can, the fur
ther evidence ot the plot to revolutionise the Gov
ernment.
It is but justice to state, that we are indebted
for very many of the documents, to the labors of
the Nashville (Term.) Patriot, one of the ablest
Bell organs in that State.
One of the first revelations of the plot, was the
speech of Judge Bailey, of Georgia, at Knoxville,
as reported in the Whig of that place.
“He said, that during the Presidential contest,
Governor Wise had addressed letters to .all the
southern Governors —and that the one to life Gov
ernor ot Florida had been shown him—in which
Wise said that he had an army in readiness to pre
vent Fremont from taking his seat, if elected, and
asking the co operation of those to whom he
wrote!”
The following is another of the revolution let
ters of Mr. Wise :
“ Richmond, Va., Sept. 15,1856.
“Dear Sir: Events are approaching which ad
dress themselves to your responsibilities and to
mine as chief executives of slaveholding States.
Contingencies may soon happen which would re
quire preparation tor the worst of evils to the
people. Ought we not to admonish ourselves by
joint counsel of the extraordinary duties which
may devolve upon us from the dangers which so
palpablv threaten our common peace aud safety?
When, ‘b ow, or to what extent may we act, sepa
rately or unitedly, toward off dangers if we can,
to meet them most effectually if we must ?
“I propose that, as early as convenient, the Gov
ernors of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisi
ana, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennes
see, shall assemble at Raleigh, North Carolina, for
the purpose generally of consultation upon the
state of the country, .upon the best means of pre
serving its peace, and especially of protecting the
honor aud interests of the slaveholding States. 1
have addressed the States only having Democratic
Executives, for obvious reasons.
“ This should be done as early as possible, be
fore ihe Presidential election, aud I would suggest
Monday, 13th October next. Will you please give
me an early answer? and oblige
“Yours, most truly and respectfully,
“ Henry A. Wise.
“ Ills Excellency Thomas W. Ligon,
“ Governor of Manyland.
“ The same to Thomas Bragg,‘Governor of North
Carolina; James H. Adams, Governor of South
Carolina; 11. V. Johuson, Governor of Georgia;
James C. Broom, Governor of Florida; John A.
Winston, Governor of Alabama; John J. Mcßae,
Governor of Mississippi ; Robert Wickliffe, Jr.,
Governor of Louisiana ; Edmond M. ’Pease, Gov
ernor of Texas; Elias N. Conway, Governor of
Arkansas, and Andrew Johnson, Governor of
Teunessee.’’
We bare before spoken of the Constitution of
the famed “southern league.” The extract above
shows that Mr. Yancet aud Company will not
watt for an overt act by a Republican President,
and we give now his first revolutionary step as
stated in the Patriot, and also in the Memphis
(Tenn.) Appeal ;
“We next trace the course of William L. Y'an
cey, of Ala., who is now the recognised leader in
the secession movements in the Charleston and
Baltimore Democratic conventions, which eventua
ted in the nomination of Mr. Breckinridge for the
Presidency. Though a disorganiser in 1646, and
a disuuiomst in 165 ;-’sl, we begin our quotations
from his outgivings with the loth of May, 1858,
as it was only then that he began to prepare ac
tively to consummate the aim which had a partial
fruitum at Baltimore. On ihat day, the southern
conveulmu met in ihe city of Montgomery. At 1
the opening of that convention, he delivered an
addre-s of welcome to the delegates, of which the
subjoined is an extract:
“‘I must be allowed, at least on my own behalf,
to welcome you, too, as but the foreshadowing ot
that far m>re important body; important as you
evidently will be, that if injustice and wrong
shall continue to rule the hour aud councils of the
domiuant section of the country, must, ere iong,
assemble up.m souibern soil for tne purpose of de
vising some measure by wlnoh not only your in
dustrial, but your social aud political relations
shall be placed upon the basis of an independent
sovereignty, which will have within itself a uuity
of climate, a unity of soil, a unity of production,
and a unity of social relations ; that unity which
aione can be the basis of a successful ami perma
nent Government.’ ’’
After this came the Slaughter letter, which we
have published, and after that, Mr. Y'incey pro
ceeded at once to the consummation of the plot.
Mr. Ruffin consented to it, and the Montgomery
Advertiser recommended it.
On the 10th of July following, at Bethel church,
what sacrilege 1 ) in Montgomery county, after an
inflammatory speech, he proceeded to form the
“ League,”of which the following is the Constitu -
tion :
“1. The members of this organization shall be
known as the * Leaguers of the South;’and our
motto shall be, A Southern Kkpualiu is our only
safety
“2. There shall be primary leagues, State
leagues, and a league of the southern States.
“8. Any five or more southern citizens may
form a primary league, bv subscribing their names
to this C institution.
“4. The State league shall be formed by the
primary leagues within the State ; and the League
of the Southern States shall be formed by the j”
Union of the State leagues.
“5. Each league shall elect a president, vice
president, secretary, treasurer, aud such other
officers as it may deem useful; aud the officers
shall hold their offices for one year, aud until their
successors shall have been elected.
“6. As soon as it shall be ascertained that three
primary leagues have been organised, the presi
dents thereof or a majority ot them, shall agree
upon a lime and place for the organization )>f a
State league, and when organised, it shall direct
the time and place of its meetings.
“7. And as soou as it shall be ascertained that
three Slates leagues have beeu organised, tin
presidents thereof, or a majority of them, shall
agree upon a lime and piace for ihe organizition
of the League of the Southern States, and, when
organised” it shall direct the tune and place of
its meetings.
Each primary league may send as many
res as it may select to the assembly of
•'e, but its vote shall be counted in
umber of us members.
-e mat send as many repre
sentatives as it may select to the council of the
League of the Southern States, but each State shall
have but one vote.
“10. The president of any league may call a
meeting of the league over which he presides
when he shall deem it expedient ; and any State
league may cull a meeting of the League of the
Southern States, whenever a majority of such
league mav de-m it advisable.
“11. Under this Constitution the District of Co
lumbia shall be considered as a part of the State
of Mainland, and a Territory shall be held to be a
State.
“12. No league shall ever nominate a candi- j
date for anv office of profit or of honor, under the
Federal or any State government; but each leaguer
shall vote according to hts own conscience, re
membering always his duty to the South.’
Such is the organization which is to “control
parties, Legislatures and statesmen.”
Shortlv“after, followed the letter to Mr. I’kyoh,
of Virginia, of which we have given the sub
stance.
On the Oth of September, 1858, the Patriot put
the question to Mr. I’hyor, “who are these ablest
men m Virginia, who had well digested, under
stood and approved ” this policy of disunion; but
there was uo reply.
Let us see who they probably were, there and
elsewhere.
About ihe 10th of September, 1358, the New
Orieans Delta, a well known disunion organ, ad
vanced with caution the doctrine of “Congression
al protection.”
Other papers took it up, and on the first of Jan
uary, 1559, it was first formally promulgated by
the Richmond (Va.) Enquirer.
Mr. Wise (as we learn from the same Tennessee
authority), had sympathised with Mr. Douglas in
his split w'th the Administration, and the sudden
change in his organ bringing forward for the first
time this new issue, in politics, is very signifi
cant.
No thinking man could have dreamed that Con
gress would ever adopt such a policy, and the de
termination to break up the party, and thus the
Union, was evident from the first.
The programme all through has been to elect a !
Republican candidate, and then destroy the Union j
under that pretense. In the autumn of 1858, Mr.
Jefferson Davis, at Jackson, Miss., made the j
first public declaration from a leading statesman, •
which we find on record. These are his words
“ If an Abolitionist oe chosen President of tbe j
United States, you will have presented to you the i
question of whether you will permit the Government j
to pass into the hands of your avowed aud im
placable enemies ? Without pausing for your j
answer, I will state my own position to he, that
such a result would be a species of revolution by j
which the purposes of the Government would be
destroyed, and the observance of its mere forms
entitled to no respect. In that event, in such man
ner as should be most expedient, I should deem it
your duty to provide f r your safety outside of the
Union, with those who have already shown tbe
will, and would have acquired ihe power to de
prive you of your birthright aud to reduce you to
worse , than the colonial dependence of your
fathers.”
The newspapers of the faction then went to
work to get the idea of protection in the minds of
the people, or, as Mr. Yancet called them at
Charleston, “the mere masses.”
We find the following extract*} grouped together
in the Patriot :
From the Mobile Mercury, April, 1859.
“The times are now ripe tor the organization of
a political movement in the sbvehoiding States,
irrespective, of course, of all old party designa
tions ; and there are peculiar reasons why such a
movement should be undertaken now and here
Indeed, we are credibly informed that conferences
have already been held by leading patriotic gen
tlemen of this city, of all parties, and the plans of
a southern organization have been set on toot and
almost matured, preparatory to action. We ear
nestly hope tbe good work may go on, and speedily.
“The country, we repeaf, is ripe for the move
ment, and if judiciously inaugurated,it will sweep
over the land with a force that uo opposition will
be able to check. We therefore caution out
friends in the country everywhere, to be prepared
for it, and keep themselves from all entangling al
liances which may hinder them from joining in it
untrammelled.”
“The Charleston Mercury, in April, 1859, said
of the Democratic Presidential convention of the
present year : ‘UnleSs it is limited exclusively to
delegates from the South, it will be no convention
of the Democratic party.’ How truly it spoke the
disunion sentiment, late events have fully shown.”
troui the Xtw Orleans Delta, April, 1859.
“ 1860 the South and North are to be arrayed
in deadly contest; the battle of the sections is
then to be fought for the last time, and its issue is
to he decisive of our fate.”
From the Montgomery Advertiser, March, 1659.
“ It is important that we should send such men !
to represent us (in Congress < as possess the ability ,
to combat the approaches of Republicanism, and i
the nerve to secede from Washington in case Abo- i
litionism should instal one of its leaders in the j
Executive mansion of the nation. It is important j
to the South also, That her delegation should pre- j
sent a united front of State Rights Democrats, for j
in the principles and the doctrines of the State- ;
Rights Democracy rests the hope of the South in i
the Union or out of it.”
From the Eufalu (Ala.) Gazette, March, 1859.
“Could we all think and feel alike; were our in- j
terests identical and our occupations similar, we
might adopt a common government without detri
ment to either; but as we are different in all these, j
it becomes its to prepare for an immediate with- j
drawal from the alliance which lias hitherto held
us together; and we hold it to be tile first duty, as j
it should be the first object of southern statesmen j
and the southern press, to inaugurate a Southern :
Confederacy, and thereby establish southern tnde- j
pendence.”
F/om the Washington Correspondence of the ;
Charleston Mercury, Match 1859.
“There are of the members of Congress from the j
different .States of the South a number of !
staunch State Rights men. As the Democratic j
| party gops to pieces, these will form the nucleus j
| of a southern organization which must be formed 1
1 to meet the aggressions of northern consolidation |
| through the General Government. * *
“There can be no doubt that the politicians no
| less than the people of the South are strengthen
i mg in tiie opinion that nothing is left but taking ;
their destinies in their own keeping. Yet there is
a great relnciance to acknowledge the truth, and I
men hide their eves to it as long as possible. By :
the end of the next session we may look to be out
of the woods. When the Democratic party is re
i solved into i's northern and southern elements, i
now incongruously joined for the sake of the
spoils, then the couth will wheel into line for the
defense of her rights on the positions occupied by
the State Rights men.”
From the Spirit of the South, March, 1359.
“The North and South agreeing about some
things and differing about others, made a Union ;
for their benefit, and a Constitution lor thetrcom
mon government. The Supreme Court, who, ac
cording to tbe establi.-hed creed of the North, are
j the final exuounders of that Constitution, say that !
! by its provisions slavery is protected in the Ter
! ntories, hut the greater portion of the North de- :
nouncesthat decision openly, while the remainder ]
covertly repudiate it. What remains, then, but to
do that which has been done in ail ages and coun
tries, bv sensible and right minded people, who
have the, misfortune to differ irreconcilably—to |
Separate.”
trom the Charleston Mercury, May, 1859.
“A revolution is, itieretore, inevitable Sub
mission or resislar.ee will alike establish it. The
obi Union—the Unionof the Constitution, of equal
rights between sovereign States—is abolished. It
is gone forever; strangled by consolidation, and
now ttie instrument ot c-n:ralisni, to establish an
irresponsible despotism ot tbe North over the
South. To break up the present Union and estab
lish another of the South atone, no g - eater revo
lution than tba which now exts's. In fact, it al l
be a lesser change. Let the struggle conte when
it mav, the South, to achieve her safety, will have
to trample down a Union party iu .he track ot her
political emancipation.'’
The above extract from the Washington corres
pondent of the Charleston Mercury, so clearly fore
shadows the very events which have stDce tran
spired,that the conclusion is almost irresistible that
there was a junta of these disunionists in tbe city j
of Washington, who had, at that early day, ar
ranged the entire course to be pursued. The news-
I papers were promptly and vigorously seconded by
the leaders.
We*will continue this subject in our next,
and hope to convince every citizen of Georgia
that Mr. Breckinridge is but the tool in tbe bands
of handed “Leaguers” against the Union.
We will convince them so that they would be
i obliged to reader a verdict against them from a
jtirv box, and we know that they will render the
same verdict at the polls under the convictions of
right, that they would in court under oath.
Address of the Niitioiml Committee.
The committee of the National Democratic par
tv, appointed to prepare an address to the people
of the Union, have completed their labors ; and as
” the address is divided under appropriate heads,
we will give it to our readers in fragments.
It will appear entire in our weekly, but in the
daily, we will suit the length of the extracts to
tbe heat of the weather, and the consequently
limited patience of our readers :
TO THE DEMOCRACY OF THE UNITED
STATES.
Democratic’ National Executive )
Committee Rooms, - i
Washington Cits, D. C., July 13, lsfiO. I |
Feit.se Citizens: The undersigned have u in
charge, a’ the instance of the National Committee
•if the Democratic party, to address you some
words of explanation aud counsel. \ ott are all
advised, by this time, that a minority of the dele
gates seceded from our regular National conven
tion, at Baltimore, and have proposed John C.
Breckinridge and Joseph Lane as their candidates
fi.r the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the
j United States. It is au occurrence without exam
ple in our history ; and for the eonsequeuces
w bich may ensue—involving, possibly, the exist
omceof that Union which our fatheis besought us
ci instantly to maintain —there is a grave responsi
bility somewhere. If the.responsibility be upon
th>se of us wtio have adhered to the ancient organ’- I
•.cation of the Democratic party, whose banners now
display the honored names of Stephen A. Douglas
aud Ilerschel V. Johnson, as the regular Demo
cratic nominees, we can but protest, in all sinceri
ty, that we sought no unjust advantage of our se- !
ceding brethren, and have erred, if at all, through
mere mDjudgment. It appears to us, however,
upon a careful and deliberate review of all that j
| transpired at Baltimore, as well as at Charleston, ;
that the supporters of Messrs. Breckinridge and I
Lane, m violating the settled usages of the Demo
, cratie party, ami in abandoning the regular De
i mocratic organization, have taken the whole re-
I sponsibility upon themselves.
THE QUESTION OF SLAVERY IN THE TERRITORIES.
Before proceeding to a narration of the distur
bances in our National convention, at Charleston,
and afterwards at Baltimore, we deem it necessary
to explain the past conduct of tbe Democratic par
ty with regard to the difficult question of sla’ erv
in the Territories of the United Slates. This ques
tion arose, distinctly, for the first time, when the
House of Representatives, on motion of Mr. Wil
mot, of Pennsylvania, August 12th, 1848, added a
Proviso to the bill appropriating money in aid of
; the negotiations for peace with Mexico, in the fol- j
lowing words:
“ Provided, That as an express and fundamental
condition to the acquisition of anv Territory from
the Republic of Mexico by the United States, by
virtue of any treaty which may be negotiated be
tween them, and for tbe use, by the Executive, of
the moneys herein appropriated, ueither slavery
nor involuntary servitude shall ever exist in any
part of said Territory, except for crime, whereof
the party shall first be duly convicted.”
The bill was iost, in the Senate, by reason of a
controversy upon this particular clause; and so,
the very introduction of the question luto Con
i gress, by Mr. Wilmot, resulted in defeating a bill
| of the utmost importance, embarrassing the Execu
tive, in the midst of foreign war, and in prolong
ing that war twelve or eighteen months, expend
ing the treasure of the nation, and sacrificing, in
subsequent battle, the lives of so many of our
countrymen.
We need not pursue the alarming agitation thus
| mischievously commenced ; an agnation which
deteated General Cass, our nominee for the Presi
| deuev, ill 1346, aud, at last, in 1356, brought our
\ Union to the verge of dissolution. That catastro
| phe was avoided, however, by the firmness and
| wisdom of the Democratic party in Congress, and
i throughout ibe country, aided by the most etui
! nent chieftains of the Whig party ; and the basis
! ot settlement then agreed upon, and afterwards
! unanimously affirmed by ihe Whig as well as by |
j the Democratic National convention at Baltimore,
I iu 1852, was that Congress should not interpose its
| authority, under any circumstances, whether to
prohibit or introduce, üboiisti or maintain the in
j st.itutton of slavery within the Territories. A
j total exclusion of the subject from Congress thence
| forth end forever, was the olive branch held out
: and accepted, North and South, by the two great
j poii ical parties mto which ihe American people
were then divided We say, fellow citizens, that
the North and ihe South alike accepted this set
tlement ; because not only did agitation and dis
cord cease, but us well the Abolition party of the
North as the secession party of the South, became
almoei exunci.
In January, 1854, at the first session of Congress
under It tiers! Pierce’s Administration, a necessity
a ose lor tne establishment of Territorial govern
ments in Nebraska aud Kansas; but a fearful oh \
stacle seemed to lie at the very threshold. The I
act ot Congress approved May 6, 1820, sometimes j
called ttie Missouri compromise, prohibited slavery j
in all jhe domiuion over which these two Terri- j
torics extended. Obviously, such au enactment j
was inconsistent with the principle adopted in
1850, and ought then to have been repealed by
name. But it Lad not been repealed, and* although
never operative in fact, had acquired ail the au -
thority ot age ; aud of the many eminent states
men who, waiving their scruples in regard to its
constitutionality, had accepted it as the determina
tion of another controversy, which, in 1820, bade
fair to rend the Union asunder. The difficulty
seemed at first insurmountable, inasmuch as a re j
peal of the Missouri act might renew the agita
tion quelled in 1830; whereas, upon the other
hand, to leave such an act of Congress inexist
ence, would be an abandonment ot the very prin
ciple through which that happy result had beeu
obtained. The Democratic party, after some hesi
tation, resolved to pursue the principle of 1850 to
its logical consequence ; to abrogate the Missouri
compromise line, so called, even at the hazard of
new and more dangerous agitation. It appealed
to the Whig party for assistance, and some of the
southern representatives of that party in Congress
responded to the appeal But the northern Whigs,
with few exceptions, abandoned their southern al
lies. and uniting with the remnant of ttieold Abo
lition party, raised an alarm throughout the North
that the Democratic party had thus renewed, in
Congress, the identical agitation which it had
solemnly promised to discountenance.
The “fusion” of northern Whigs and Abolition- I
isis was largely strengthened by defection from
our own ranks; men who abandoned ns, not be~
I cause they supported the Wilmot proviso, but
1 because they feared the Democratic party was
| about to surrender the doctrine of “ non-interven
i tion” by Congress, and become ail active agent,
j through the instrumentality of the Federal Gov j
■ eminent, for compelling the Territories, oue and j
j all, tii accept slavery as an institution forever, uu- j
j alterable and uncontrollable. Time has now dis
j sipated the leara of many, and they have returned
] to their old allegiance. The people of the North
I are beginning to understand, also, that the true
| responsibility for all ihe agitation which resulted
| from the Kausas-Nebraska act, is upon those who
j resisted the application of a sound principle to a
j merely formal change of circumstances. But in
j 1854, suddenly and almost as if by magical touch,
j the Democratic party of the North and*North-west
j disappeared. Oqiv thirteen Democrats wereelect
j ed to the House of Representatives in that year,
j from all the uon-slayeholding States, California
| included, and four of that number—almost one
! third—were from the State of Illinois. It required
j years of constant effort to satisfy the northern
| people that the Kausas-Nebraska act was notan
| act of southern aggression, hut an act for carrying
into effect the principle established by the tom
| promise measures of 1850. The undersigned do
I not mean to palliate a misconception so gross, but
, merely to relate un indisputable fact. Our leader
| in these eventful contests, now the candidate ol
! the Iwtur ratic party for the Presidency ot the
j United States, did, almost without exaggeration,
j travel from Washington city to Chicago, in 1854,
I by the light ot hts own burning effigies.
It was alter such disastrous consequences to
i the Democratic party, and with hearts full of ap
| prehension that our delegates from ail the States,
j North and South, assembled at Cincinnati in June,
| 1856. to consult with reference to public affairs.
; Confident in the justice nt our call, and appealing
j to the sober judgment of the people, the Demo
j crattc National convention, by a unanimous vote,
j endorsed the Kansas Nebraska act, and resolved
j to abide by i*s principles. Tbe result is well
| known. The nominees of Ihat convention receiv
ed a sufficient number of electoral votes to secure
them in the Presidency and Vice-Presidency of
the United Stales. The laet was developed, also,
that in others of the northern States, New York,
| Ohio, and Uwa, at least—the Black Republicans
! hail prevailed by a mere plurality, and in oppo
j sition to a clear and defiuite majority of the pop
i ular vote. At no lime since lias the Black Re
publican party attained power in tbe States of
! New Y ork, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
| diana, and Illinois, by its own strength, but in
I every instance by some combination with the
remnant of the American party in those States; a
remnant opposed to the Administration of Mr.
Buchanan, but. nev. r satisfied to co-operate with
Abolitionists in a Presidential election.

rapid absorption of tbe Fertiliser ; the extreme solubility of
the ammonlacal partsof Guano, and the want of solubility of
its phosphates, render it unfit as a summer manure for Cotton.
The use of M ARES’ PHOSPHATE, however, is without

In many sections of our country this preparation is exten

Messrs. S. W. Fowle A Cos .—Sirs: Dtspepsia, with its
numberless associates, took up its abode with me, In oppo.-i
tlou to the skill of many of the most celebrated ph’ siclans,
until the spirit was willing (if no relief could be found) to sur
render amt bid adieu to its earthly tabernacle, whim t was in
duced. by tbe urgency of a friend, to try tbeOX YGENATED
BlTTEßS—little dreaming that the Gilead wasin the bound
less sea ol patent medicines, as it was the first draught I was
ever Induced to quaff. But, thanks he to God, it was a balm,
amt a most effleimt and grateful one, too. The inostagg a
vatbig symptoms in myt-ase were Immoderate and irregular
beating of the heart immediately after taking food, attended
with great prostration, and very frequently violent attacks of
palpitation, lasting from twelve to twenty-four hours,leaving
the stomach so perfectly powerless that even a spoonful of
milk or rice water would seem burdensome. I commenced by
taking half a teaspoonful—the extent was a full one. I was
very persevering un'il Iliad taken three bottles ; since then,
at intervals, I have tak*n two more.
I began to realise Us genial effects immediately; besides, it
is extremely grateful auU refreshing as a beverage, which is a
charm that, but few medicines can boast of. I would, Sirs,
most heartily and earnestly beg all who are afflicted with
Dyspepsia, in any form, to test your OXYGENA TED HIT

al, as it is still the best, preparation for restoring grey hair to
its original color, and rendering it strong, healthy, and beauti;
ful, is Jleimstrfet & Co.'s Inimitable HAIR COLORING,
or Restorer. Every other preparation advertised for this pur’
pose is but an imitation of this. Most ofthem are made with
water, and require the expensed a hair dressing toaccompany
them, as they leave tile Hair harsh and dry. Heimstreet’s
is made with oil and stimulating spirits, affordin'! an agree
able Hair wash, aside from Its value as a restorative. It is
sold at a teasonab’e price, placing it within the reach cf ail.
We might introduce certificates from Clergymen, Senators,

Stf Cherokee Kernedv, an l iifailing Cure for
Oonorrlue, and all diseases of the Urinary Organs. This
REMEDY cures when all other preparations fail. It is
entirely unlike every other compound—containing no min
eral poison or nanseus drugs, a s it is prepared solely from
Roots, Barks, and heaves, and haß been handed down from
one generation to another by the Cherokee Indians. It la of
fered to the public on its own intrinsic merits. It jierforms
its duty qu’ckly and thoroughly. The unfortunate of either
sex will be repaid by using this REMEDY instead of placing
themselves at the mercy of some Quack or Professor. This i
REMEDY strikes at the root of the disease. Its tendency is
not simply to suspend the poison, but to remove the cause on
which it depends. Full directions in pamphlet form accom
pany each bottle. The speedy aud permanent relief at
forded by this REMEDY, in all cases of Gonorrhas Gleet
Gravel, Stricture, Fluor Albus, (Whites In females),’and all
diseases o the Urinary Organs, has astonished the most sei
euttfic men of the age. This REMEDY not only eradicates”
all prison from the system, but invigorates the most delicate
constitution.
It does not affect the breath, or interfere with any class of
business, or require any deviation from the ugual diet.
It requires no assistance from other medicines.
And what enhances its value is the entire absence of all
nauseous taste, being a pleasant and delicious Syrup.
