Peel could not he prevailed upon to settle at

TO THE DEMOCRACY OF THE THIRD
- CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
The time is fast approaching, wh^n you will
be called upon, .through your delegates, to os-
sembie in convention /or the purpose of select
ing a suitable person to represent j’ou in the
next Congress. It therefore behooves you, as
citizens possessing pati iotism, and philanthropy
of the mO't exalted charader, to gird on your-
armor and prepare for ihe coniest. Hq not
think, as did the whigs last January, that sue*
cess is certain ! For rest assured of tbe fact,
that whenever a party, we care not wh*t its
complexion,'lays this “flattering unction to
their souls,” defeat will b-> their certain doom.
Let us then with a becoming dignity manifest
an unprecedented zea! and foresight in the se
lection of a STANDARD BEARER. Let
meetings be organized forthwith for the purpose
of selecting a suitable place to convene at, and
appoint delegates to represent us in said con
vention. We h^ve no choice in the matter so
far s.s regards the place. Good old Forsyth or
Thom;>3ton will sqit us very well. Rut we
have a favorite name to present to said conven
tion ; nnd we know that :no hetter se'ection can
be made; no other Democrat w II be more
likely to be elected if nominated, t^aq Porter
Ingraham. Esq., of Harris. Mr. Ingraham is
a man of unshrinking integrity, and a man who
has withstood the scathing elements of a large
Whig majority. He has battled in the cuuse
of Democracy ever since he has been among
us, and in fine, has as few political or personal
enenfesaj any other Qeoiocratin the District.
Although Ingraham is our favorite, yet will
we cheerfuliy acquiesce in the decision of the
Convention. TI10 Democrats of Harris are
respectfully requested to assemble at the Court
House in Harnihctn on the first Tuesday in
Jaly, for the purpose of appointing delegates
lo represent sahl county in the convention, and
also lor the purpose of proposing a suitable
place where suid convention should bo held.

~T fiIt alhri l of joy when fir ihe first lime

ca}|ed ufmy office. Poor and almost fiend-
less,' this seeming neglect madp my very spirits
sink within me. But I toiled on, and my de
termination to succeed was j» exact propqrtjon
to the worjd’s neglect and thp world’s scorn.
Thp hour of rny triumph at length caiqe. I
had a client 1 Strange that man should treat
woman with unkmdttess; stranger still that a
lawyer’s office should coptain the panacea f >r
so many of the ills to which flesh is heir! My
client was a la-ly—her business vy* 1 * to know
if the law would divorce her from her liusbmd.
f briefly stated the grounds on which 5 divor.ee
ipigfit be granted, and asked on which ;he would
rest the application. 4.bandnnment, abandon-
merit! she replied, jn a manner that sent the
blood tingling through njy vejns. The tearful
eye. quivering lip, und tremulous, voice rivet-
ted upon my mind a deep, painful conviction
of the truthfulness of her story. No time was
lost in filing the libel - for a divorce a vincule
mntrinwnic. Up to that lime the intelligence
of the Judges had failed to discover that the
unauthorized abandonment of the wfe by the
husband would nut of itself sustain an appli
cation for an abso'uto divorce. Rut Law 1$ 11
science—a progressive scjence—and no law
yer who values hw reputation would nojy ad
vise 11 client that abandonment, however tin?
provoked, however protracted, would authorize
a tutul divorce.
This is the modern rule, which dooms unwil
ling minds und alienated hearts to embrace
each other on a bed of scorpion*. No defence
was Net op- by the hu-band. The day fot the
trial of the suit approached; witnesses were
sunjmoned, apu jt bejng my first case nothing
was omitted whip!) was necessary to secure
success, ^t length tlje case lyas called. My
fair client was by my side; teajs \vere in lipr
eyes, and so excited was her nervous syst.etp
that jt wqs wjih th.e utmost difficulty 1 under
stood from her that she was ready for trial.
Row my heart fluttered, and rqy voi.ee fal
tered when for the first time ) rose to qdJress
tbe Court and ,^ury t Years, long years hqve
rolled by, jbut that scene is as fresh in my re r
cojle.ctjon as if ijt hntj occurred but yesterday.
Tne eyi<jen,ce yvas submitted to the jury, who
wjthriiH retiring from their boxes returned a
verdict far tlie^ libellant.
And thus my first cquse v?s gained —my
first client pleased—and what was of more
consequence still, my first fee paid ! X.
NAPOLEON AND JOSEPHINE.
Gen. Montholon in his “■ History of the Cap
tivity of St. Helena,'’ nuw in the course ‘•of
publication, says that the Emperor one evening,
spoke of his first wife in the following terms :
“ We lived together like true plebians in our
mutual relations, and we hud but one bed until
1805, an epoch ip which political events com
pelled me to change rqy habits and add night
work to day labor. Domestic life is the test of
a good household management, it assures the
credit of a wife, the dependence of a husband,
ami! maintains sociality and gpnd manners.
“A son by Josephine vyould have rendered
roe happy and nssurpd the reign of my dynasty.
The French would have loved him more than
thp X' n £ R°me, and I should not have set
fiiQt on the flower-crowned abyss that destroy
ed me. After th >t let men meditate on the
wisdom of human combinations. Let them
dans to pronounce who is happy and who is
miserable in this sublunary sphere ! My poor
Josephine! she bad a prescience pf the future
when sho was terrified at tbe thought of being
childless. In proportion ns fortune raised her,
her anxieties increased. Still she repised her
hope in my adoption of Eugene, and this was
the cause of all my differences >yilh my broth
ers.
“ She never qsked of tpo any thing for her
son.. She never oven, witlj a consummate
adroitness, thanked me for what I did for him,
so rrjuch did she have it at heart to convince me
that the pnlitipal fortqno of Eugene was not
her interest, but mine. I was the dearest ob
ject of her 1 fe. and I nm convinced that she
would even have left a rendezvous of pleasu' e *'
added he, laughing, “ to come in seapph of me,
If I took a earpage in t}jo rgiddle of thp night
to make so/ije long journey, I always found
her to roy great surprise, installed in the coach,
and waitjng for me.- I useJ vainly to attempt
to dissuade her from accompayning me- She
had Mich good and kind reasons to oppose to

ally been culled, a knowledge of tho world, has
been an acquaintance with a very small part of
it. When pir Robert \7alpole declared that
every man could be bribed, unly make the
temptation large enough, he undoubtedly spoke
frtnn the views of humpn nature whjefi he had
taken. But what was that part of human na
ture which enme under his view 1 The fry of
a court, the most venal of mankind, veady to
nibble at any bait which corruption might throw
out. Surely, these were not specimens of so
ber tradesmen, honest merchants, and, still less
of humble Christians. The duke do Roche-
foucault was riQt acquainted with human na
ture. He knew Paris exactly ; but Paris,
thank* heaven, i* not fill Jha' world. Lord
Chesterfield knew as little of human nature; in
minting mankind, he saw notijing but his owp
fiivo'njs heirt. Human nature, though de
praved, 19 not such a common sewer of filth as
some would make it. Man has his bright and
his dark sides and an extensive acquaintance
wjth h’s injure
both.
Wiulp Ljje Remains we have still some hope
Dr. Wi.tar a Bat.am of Wild Cherry. No duackery—
No Deception. In setting forth the virtues of this truly
great medicine, we have no desire to deceive those who
are laboring umler affliction, nor do we wish to eulogise it
more than it deserve*. Yet when we took around aud aee
the vast amount of suffering and distress occasioned by
many of the diseases which this- medicine lias proved so
highly successful, we feel thst we cannot urge its claims
too strongly, or sav loo much in its favor.
Various remedies, if is true, have been offered and puff
ed into nqtice for the cure of the diseases of the longs, and
Sonte have been found, no doubt, very useful, but of all
that have yet beer; discovered, it is admitted by physicians,
slid ail who have witnessed its effects, that none has proved
as suecessfo* as this. For Asthma, Shortness of Breath
and similar affections, it mry be protir.uiiced a positive cure.
It has eared Asthma in many cases of ten and twenty years
standing, after physicians had 4 tjeclared the case beyond
the reach of medicine.

REPORT.
The Finance Committee after giving to the memorial of
Jamea God.iard, and others, doe const eiatino. beg leave
to report in its favor. We have come to the conclusion
that the prayer of the memorialists should be granted, for
the fu lowing, among other re isuns:
First. Because we esteem it policy to foster the mechanic
arts, and particularly to .encourage the establishment of
Colton manufactures in our city.
Secondly, In yielding a small sum in the way of taxes,
according to the prayer cf the memorialists, we ate adding
an enterprise which will result in increasing the pppulftion
of our city, adding to its business, and, its taxable property.
Thirdly, Because we are satisfied that a refusal to com
ply with tbe prayer of the memorialists will drive out of
tbe city the proposed establishment of a Cotton Factory,
and thqs tgem la place us in a position hostile to this enter
prise, v/hieh not only will and to < ur population, business,
and taxable propeny, but will also give employment to a
large class of unr most needy and dependent citizens.
Fqr these reasons aud others that might be named, we
hope tbe prayer of the memorialists will be granted.

t I3 invaluable Remedy has now been in use some
s'x or seven year's in the ^outh- Ls effects frequent
ly are so speedy and beneficial, that very many are ted to
exclaim, “It acts like a charm.”' It is specially suite A to
a warm climate, prepared particularly fot jt, and tor a long
time tested in it with ll’.e be3t of success. It is' offered a's
one of the best remedies for Bowel Complaints, and is su
perior to Opium, from the fac., that while it checks exces
sive and watery discharges, it corrects and regulates at the
same lime, the secretions of the system, restoring a healthy
action, te a greater or less extent, to the Liver and Secre
tory Organs generally. In nearly every case, it relieves
pain immediately on being taken; allays Nausea at the Sio
tuaebaod Irritability ol the Bowels; relieves burning sen
sation of the (Stomach and Buwels, Thirst, Tenesmus, (or
bearing dawn sensation of tbe bowels,) Cramps. Restless

KJ* Important Testimony!—An inveterate Case cured
with one and a half Bottles of the Cordial f
Dr. Woodruff—Dear Sir: Fqr the benefit of the afflict
ed, I make the billowing statement relative to your Dysen-
terv Cordial. In the spring of 1844, my wife was attack d
with Dysentery, which proved to be qf a very inveterate
character, and which, notwithstanding‘we applied every
remedy in common use, it continued with increasing vio
lence till the latter part of the following August; it seemed
now that she could not live much longer, and 1 had despair
ed of h'er recovery." About this time my eye caught the
advertisement of your Dysentery Cordial, and 1 immedi
ately obtained a bottle from your Agent, which to my sur
prise nnd gratification, cheeked the progress of the disease;
and by using one bottle, and' part of another, a perfect cure
was performed.* . JUNES BROWN.

JCT A Hopeless Case cured ! _f~fi
Dr. Woodruff—Dear Sir: A remarkable cure having
been effected in the case of one of iby children by the use
of your valuable Dysentery Cordial'. . feel it bu. justice to
you that 1 should give you a statement of the case lor pub
lication. My child was attacked early in the year with
disordered bowels, which continued gradually to get worse,
until it was reduced to a perfect skeleton, and by the fam
ily was given up as a hopeless case. Every remedy in
common use had been resorted to. but without any real
benefit. This was its condition when we commenced using
your Cordial. Its benefit was immediate and permanent;
it improved rapidly, and riow enpys good health Your
Cordial.'without doubt, has saved its life- Let all try it
that heed such a remedy, and they will not repent it
