CONSTITUTIONALIST. AUGUSTA, GhA. SLNDAY MORNING, JAN. 12,1868. DESIGNS OF RADICALISM. The following article, from Deßow's Be vieu>, is a masterly exposure of the Ityilicu scheme. On some minor points, we might take issue with the writer; bnt, in the main, his views are sound and irresistible : “ Many persons seem to think that the only object of the leaders and managers of the Radical party is to retain political pow er for the sake of holding the State and Federal offices. This may be true as to some, yet there is a deeper signiflcauce in their movements and plans than is iiere sup posed, as will be attempted to be shown in the following article: “ Parties, as well as men, are to be judged by their actions more than by their mere declarations. We can ascertain the pur poses of men and find out their motives more by their deeds than by their words. The whole legislation of Congress for the last two years, which has been under the guidance and direction of the New England Radicals, shows the deliberate purpose, skillfully planned, but artfully concealed, of Africanizing the extreme Southern or Gulf States. This is no new idea with them, but one of many years standing Long before the recent war Mr. Sumner, who is the best representative of New Eng land Radicalism, declared that their object was to encircle the slave States with a belt of free States, in order that ‘slavery, like a scorpion girt with fire, might sting itself to death.’ His policy was to confine the institution of slavery witiii n its then limits, not permitting it to go to any of the new States or Territories, and at the same time to make it insecure in the border States, as they were called, by hostile legislation, in order that all the slaves might he carried to the extreme Southern States, where slavery was more profitable. This collecting of all the slaves in the Gulf States would, with their natu ral increase, have given, in ten or fifteen years, a black population in them of not less than six millions. In this way, when emancipation should take place, it would leave the blacks in a much greater prepon derance than they even now arc. The New England Radicals did not, at that time, either expect or desire the immediate aboli tion of slavery, but wished an accumula tion of blacks in the Gulf States, before this should occur. The war, however, came on and caused the immediate abolition of slavery, as a necessity in order to secure success. In this respect, their well laid plans were disconcerted, but they did not falter in their purposes. Their object ever since has been to place the Southern States in such a condition that the white people, now residing in them, would be compelled to leave their homes and abandon the coun try to the blacks. A systematic persecu tion of the white race of the South, constant and unceasing efforts to ruin and degrade them—to deprive them of their property and their political rights, and at the same time to place all the political power in the country in the hands of their former slaves, without any training or previous prepara tion for the proper exercise of those privi leges—all show a studied effort to drive the white people out of the Gulf States and to place those States under the con trol of the blacks. The whites arc, to a great extent, disfranchised, and jllthe black males, over tho enlraffehfiSect. Thtf well,“with the examples of Jlayti and Ja- luaica before them, that the white people of the Northern States and from Europe will not emigrate to any country while it is un der the control and management of ignorant blacks. In the Northern States, where there are but few blacks, the whites will not allow them political privileges, and if they will not do so in their own States how can they be expected to immigrate to States where the negroes not only vote, but where they will have the supremacy? The New England Radicals know that under their plan of reconstruction there will be no im migration of white people to the South, and they do not intend there shall be any if they can prevent it. Their object is to collect all the blacks in the extreme South ern or Gulf States, and at the same time to force all the whites to move from the South and settle in the North. This will be the effect of their reconstruction policy, and they so intend. Men do not usually act without motives. “Let us now inquire what motives can induce such action on their part. Other measures which they have adopted show what motives are controlling them. “ The New England Radical politicians are the representatives of wealthy capital ists and manufacturers, and adopt the poli cy which they consider most conducive to their interests. These men desire a dense population in the Northern States in order that labor may be made cheap by an oyer-crowded population. They, having the capital, will then be able to control this labor, and the operatives will become the virtual slaves of wealthy manufacturers.— If the South is open to emigration from the North and Europe, that section, on account of its superior advantages, would become the rival in cotton factories of New Eng land ; but uuder negro government there would be no danger of the South entering into competition with New England, be cause the negroes would never become a manufacturing people. But tins is not all. New England wants cheap food also. By keeping the white people from the South and destroying the Southern market for Western produce, they will increase the growth of provisions in the West and at the same time diminish the price of those arti cles. In this way they will be enabled to get cheap food, which they so much desire, and which is so necessary, with cheap la bor, to their success in manufacturing.— They know that when the South is Afri canized, there will be less demand in the South for Western produce, and white emi grants from the South to the West will be come producers instead of consumers of provisions. The blacks in the South may, and perhaps will, be able to raise the few articles which they may need, but will fur nish no market, or but little, for Western produce. They will raise a little corn and grain, a few hogs and cattle, a small amount of cotton. The New England manufactur ers think the blacks, left to themselves, will raise enough cotton to supply their mills, and that is all they desire. They do not wish any cotton exported to foreign coun tries. By means of the Freedmen’s Bureau agents, who will at the same time be their agents, they hope to control all the cotton that may be raised in the South. By means of a prohibitory tariff they expect and intend to keep out foreign competition, and thus be able to put whatever price they may wish upon cotton fabrics. If cotton should become abundant in the South this would enable the South and West, if white labor should be permitted to go South, to manufacture as largely as New England, and thus the price of cotton fabrics would be reduced, while at the same time the operatives would be better paid, and labor of all kinds would be more remunerative. If it is not their object to discourage the growth of cotton, why do they impose such an unusual and enormous tax upon it—much of which has to be paid by the blacks, for whom they profess so much friendship ? From all these facts we must conclude that their object is to de crease the amount of cotton grownjjn the South, so that they may consume all that is raised in their own mills, and by having a monopoly be enabled to obtain whatever prices they may wish. They intend by means of their agents in the South, who will be Government officials, to get all the proceeds of the negro’s labor, and really to make the ignorant blacks the slaves of tlie New England Radicals, whilst they are de luded by the mere shadow of freedom without its substance. Politically they will be used to strengthen the Radicals, whilst industrially they will work to fill Radical pockets. “ These New England Radicals, who are among the shrewdest of men, and whose fanaticism is the fanaticism of avarice, are using the passions and prejudices of others to subserve their pecuniary interests. The agricultural classes of the North and North west are and will be deeply injured by .this policy, but many of them permit their hatred of those whom they consider South ern rebels to blind them to the wily schemes oi the kueeu and calculating New Eng landers. The poor ignorant blacks are be ing used as the mere tools of their ambition and avarice; and whilst they consider themselves free, are the real slaves of those whose ancestors sold their ancestors into slavery. They are tempted by the glitter ing bauble of suffrage to bind themselves hand and foot, and deliver their rights, their liberties and property, into the hands of those who care nothing for them save as they may be used for their own selfish pur poses. What will be the effect upon the industrial pursuits of the country if this policy should lie pursued must be evident to every reflecting mind. The grain grow ers of the West and the agricultural classes of the North, who are the consumers of Southern products, such as sugar, cotton and rice, would be the greatest sufferers. Foreign exports would be diminished to a fearful extent, whilst the internal taxes would weigh heavily upon the energies of the laboring people of the North. Even New England in the end might reap some of the evil fruits of her misdeeds. There might not be enough cotton raised by an Africanized South to supply the New England mills, and they would then be dependent on foreign countries for a supply of raw material. The great body of the Northern people having to pay in creased prices for all articles of clothing, and at the same time losing the chief mar ket for tlieir productions, being also under the necessity of paying high taxes for the benefit of New Englandboifdholders, would begin to feel some of the practical results of New England’s pretended philanthropy. “The laboring people of New England are also deeply interested in preventing the Southern States from becoming negro colonies. Labor of all kinds, agricultural, mechanical and manufacturing is in great demand in the South, and commands high, prices. If the laboring people of New England were permitted to settle in the South, those who emigrated would improve their condition and increase their wealth, whilst these who remained would then be yb 1 rj&tak connl. XWscaretry 7 The war between capital and labor has already commenced. The wealthy capitalists wish to close the South against the Northern emigration by Africanizing the Gulf States, whilst it is the interest of the laborers of the North to have the rich fields of the South open to them.— The white people of the South desire the settlement of Northern men among them, but they knew full well that no Northern men are going to emigrate to any country where the negroes are equal in number with the whites, and where they enjoy equal if not superior political privileges. “It is absurd to say that two races so dissimilar as the whites and blacks, when their numbers are equal, can live in peace where they enjoy equal political privileges, where they sit on the same juries, serve in the same legislature and hold similar offices. It is an impossibility. One race or the other must be subordinate. So it lias al ways been and so it will always be. Does any one believe that the white people of Massachusetts or any other Northern State would give the negroes the same political rights with the whites if they were equal or nearly equal in numbers? Where there are only a few negroes it makes but little difference, for then the white race will be the dominant and governing race. But it is not so in the Gulf States. If the negroes enjoy equal political privileges with the whites, one race or the other must leave the country. “The conduct of the New England Radi cals shows that it is their design to place the country in such a condition that not only will there be no immigration to the South, but even the whites that are now here will be under the necessity of leaving. “ The Southern whites, as a general rule, are disposed to treat the blacks with kind ness and liberality, and to protect them in the enjoyment of civil and personal rights. The white men of Mississippi and Alabama are giving the blacks one-fourth or one third of the gross products of their farms. Are any Northern manufacturers giving their operatives one-fourth or one-third of the gross proceeds of their factories? It is to the interest of the land owner, when la bor is high, to protect his laborers, so as to win their confidence and secure their ser- “ Having shown what is the policy of the New England Radicals, and having glanced hastily at some of its results, the question is now presented can it be prevented, and if so, by what means ? The South is powerless. She can of herself do nothing to avert the evil. Ail depends upon the action of the Northern people. There is no freedom of election now in the South.— Everything is done under coercion. If tire people of the North fully understand and correctly appreciate the policy of New England, they can and will apply the remedy—by taking the Government out of the hands of the extremists in a regular and peaceable manner. The great source of apprehension is that they will not see the danger until it is too late to apply the remedy. Let the Southern people endure with patience the afflictions which may be placed upon them, and remain by all means in the Southern country, and not give it up to the dominion of the blacks. Kindness to the blacks themselves would dictate this course. They will perhaps find out, sooner or later, the purposes of their now pretend ed friends, and will see that their only ob ject is to fleece them and to use them for their own partizan and pecuniary benefit. T j leave the blacks of the South to the ten der mercies of the New England adven turers would be unjust to this unfortunrte raoe, for they would find, when perhaps too late, that their ‘ tender mercies were cruel.’ Let a good understanding between the blacks and whites of the South be cul tivated, and let it be remembered that the interests of both races are identical; that what injures and oppresses one will injure and oppress the other, as the cotton tax, which is unjust and oppressive to both. It is not the real interest of the black race that the Southern States should be under negro rule. In that event they would rapidly degenerate and become the prey, of New England adventurers. The very best condition which they can now occupy is that of a friendly population among the white people who now inhabit the South, and such white people as may lie induced to settle in the South and be come permanent citizens. To check and defeat the New England scheme of African ization should be the aim of all men who wish well to the community, and desire its prosperity, whether they live in the North or South, whether white or black. “ These views are submitted to the calm and sober judgment of the people, and are not the result of passion or prejudice, bnt are logical deductions from facts that can not be disputed. The policy of New Eng land cannot be accounted ior in any other rational manner. Many are supporting it wlio do not see the real purposes of the managers, and who will themselves be astonished at the deplorable results. To such as these we have addressed our re marks. We appeal to reason and justice, and the enlightened judgment of the North ern people. Shall our appeal be in vain ? Fifteenth Day’s Proceedings of the Georgia Unconstitutional Convention. REPORTED FOR THE ATLANTA DAILY INTELLI GENCER. Friday, January TO, ISGB. Convention met at 10 o’clock—the President in the chair. Prayer by the Chaplain, and the journal of the previous day read and con tinued. J. L. Dunning offered a resolution to the ef fect that as Gen. Meade had signified his inten tion to visit the hull of this convention to-day, a committee of three be appointed to receive and conduct him to a seat on the right of the chair. The rules were suspended for the adop tion of this resolution, and the selection ol said committee, which consisted of J. L. Dun ning, O. li. Walton and A. W. Holcombe. The Secretary then proceeded to call the roil for the introduction of new business, when J. It. Parrott (out of the chair) asked for a sus pension of the rules that be might Introduce a resolution or ordinance to prevent sherifPs from the levy and sale of property. He stated that, said officers, in open defiance of the pre vious action of this body', were exposing at public outcry the property of a helpless peo ple, and continued at some length in the sup port of his measure. Permission was granted and Mr. Parrott’s ordinance was read. If. V. M. Miller opposed its passage on the score of hasty legislation. It was an important matter, and should bo well considered. He wanted it referred to the Judiciary Committee. J. L. Dunning also opposed hasty and incon siderate action on. a subject ol so much impor tance. T. J. Speer was opposed to it, but would move that 200 copies of it be printed, and that it be made a special matter for to-morrow. J. R. Parrott urged its adoption. The sheriffs had treated with contempt the authority of this convention, and ware seizing and selling the properly of the people. He wanted a stop put to it. The ordinance made it a penal offense on the part of sheriffs to disobey, and such action would have the desired effect. If they under stood that a fine or dismissal from office would billow further disobedience of this convention’s instructions, there would be an end to sheriff’s operations. Thomas Gilbert urged its adoption. P. B. Bedford said the people wanted relief— the sheriffs were standing at their door—this convention should restrain them. He hoped the, ordinance would pass, and regretted that earlier action had not been taken—much dis tress may have been averted. Aaron Alpcoria Bradley desired to say some thing on flic subject, lie was in fajjr of the If its simple passage would -Avail unytbinev He bad cwked with aide lawyers In the State on the subject. The desired end might be reached in another way, &c. Upon motion, the ordinance was made the speeiiil order tor Monday next. J. R. Parrott offered a resolution that all the committees on the constitution have2oo copies ol their reports printed. This would have the effect of systematizing all the matter gotten up by them, and a general facilitating of business would be the result. The resolution also made it the duty of the committees to report at as early a day as practicable. J. E. Bryant fancied that ho could see in the resolution a purpose to “gag” members of this convention. He wanted it laid upon tho table. H. lv. McCny wanted the resolution amended, and— (J. C. Richardson rose to a point of order, but 11. K. McCay was permitted to continue.— There was room for improvement, &c. J. R. Parrott desired specially to urge the passage of his resolution. It did not propose to “ gag” any man. There would be ample time and opportunity to discuss the reports of the committees. J. IT. Caldwell could see no necessity for such a resolution. It would cut off a full and tree discussion of the reports of said committees, and he was opposed to that. The gentleman spoke at considerable length. It was a com plete “ dysentery of words and constipation of ideas.” He killed a vast amount of time, aud r was suggested that he evidently supposed himself in a clerical position at a protracted camp meeting. C. D. Davis thought too much time has been wasted in the discussion, and indulged in some sensible suggestions in favor of the resolution. He thought such a measure would facilitate bu siness. The resolution was postponed. (}. W. Ashburn offered an ordinance on the subject, of personal rights—a long, windy docu ment-consuming about one quire of foolscap. This was laid upon the table, and 1500 copies of it ordered to he printed. A. T. Akerman, chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, presented the majority report of that committee, which was laid upon the ta ble, and 1500 copies ordered to he printed. R. 11. Whiteley desired to make known his dissent, being a member of the committee, from the report made by A. T. Akerman, and read a minority report, which took the same direction as the other. J. 11. Hudson asked to have read to the con vention a letter from one ol his constituents, whose grievances appeared to be numerous, from the said letter. He was a Union man during the war—liad been compelled to take Conferate money—was now poor, and wanted the (invention to give relief to persons in his situ -tion. J. W. T. Catching offered an ordinance for the relief of the debtors of Georgia. G. W. Ashburn offered a resolution that the convention he clothed with the same power as that of tile military district commander, and the Congress of the Uuited States be petition ed by this body to grant that power. G. W. Ashburn also asked to have read to t.lie convention a private letter from John Sher man, member of Congress. This letter set forth that the Georgia convention should have all the power it wanted from the United States Con gress—that Congress would legislate to any ex tent. for the convention’s benefit. The conven tion could make its demands—they would be complied with. G. W. Ashburn then asked for a suspension of the rules t hat his resolution might be taken up. 11. 11. Whitely opposed it. G. W. Ashburn insisted that his resolution should bo taken up at once. He would not conceal bis purpose. It was vitally ynpoiTant to remove without delay all obstacles to recon struction, and the passage of his resolution would ultimately accomplish that end. The rules were suspended, when an effort was made to lay the resolution upon (In- table J. E. Bryant opposed it. Now was the ii,„a to act. He wanted a disloyal State government removed and a loyal one put in its stead. Con gress could and would give this convention the power if arked to do so. He wanted officials who would obey the instructions of this con vention—this representative body of the so vereign people of Georgia. John Harris, of Newton, wanted to state his position. Several votes east by him recently had created the impression that lie was oppos ed to the. removal of certain State officials Such was not the ease, and he desired now to place it upon record that he was in favor of at once removing all officials who are obstructing the reconstruction laws. J. L. Dunning stated that it was a singular coincidence that he now had in his possession letters from three distinguished members of Congress, all of them asking “ what does the convention Want,” to enable it to go on in the good work of restoring Georgia to the-Union ? If any further legislation was necessary—or any more power wanted—it should be prompt ly given for the asking. Mr. Dunning favored the resolution of G. W. Ashbutn, and the convention would pass it, thereby afctfng Congress for the power now wanted, and which ha 6 been generously proffered by stteral members. " \ J. H. Caldwell said the country was “ groin ing in agony”—treason was rampant » the laud, and we must suppress it—we must; odLatid act at once. The resolntion was i sit*yi»nilfjr proper one. This great country must bfs hatch ed from hands that are pulling it dovffiio de struction, and— ■ Here the Chair announced that and his staff were in waiting at the the “spread-eagle orator” subsided, aitethe committee went out to conduct the .distinguish ed visitor in. The convention arose en masse as Gpkprol Meade, accompanied by Col. Emory Col. Meade, Captain McKibben, Gen. Saxon and Col. Meline, entered the hall, tipon being escorted to the right of the Chaiy, Gen. Meade was cordially welcomed by ths Presi dent, and formally introduced to the inven tion. The following is his address ip. subitahce: lie desired to thank the convention for its courteous reception of him. He has be»n gent by the commander-in-chief of the army at the instance of the President, to execute a military bill passed‘by the Congress of the United States. Asa soldier, his duty was pidnjand he should uot travel out of' the institutions embraced in that bill. As to its iegtfity be knew nothing, and it did not bccomethu to inquire. It was his business so obey instruc tions, and tiiose were to see that its measures were carried out. Ilis position was aiyjmbar rassing one in coming among strangers jo per form difficult and delicate duties. Ha had no acquaintance with any one in the military dis trict he had been sent to conimanjjr [jad never been in it before save merely'la pass through. He would endeavor to faithfally per form his duties, and hoped the whoh people would he benefitted thereby, and content, with his action when his mission among thea had ended. He hoped the convention would be just arid moderate in its deliberations ; ajjj, that it would frame a constitution which everybody could endorse. The military bill left it. option al with tlie people to accept or uot the Consti tution framed by the convention, and it was his firm purpose to see that they, without in terference, should express their assentfir dis sent when it was submitted to them. Ho did not consider that any action ot the conven tion -its ordinances and resolutions —was legal and binding until the same had been ratified by tlie people, and approved by the President and Congress; yet, under tlie pceuliai-Aircum stanees, and anomalous state of affairs in the State, he might give vitality to some measures when it was made apparent to him that the good of the people demanded it. In ffiis con nection Gen. Meade made allusion tiAhc sub ject of relief. Again thanking the cvSHTtution ior attentions shown him, and indulging tlie hope that his relations with it might be har monious, Gen. Meade retired to the floor of the convention. xThese remarks of Gen. Meade were alter nately applauded by the convention and those in the lobby. At. its conclusion, the conven tion look a recess ol fifteen minutes, to enable the members to pay their respects to him, when each and all were in turn introduced by the President. Tlie convention was called to order; when J. 11. Caldwell resumed his speech upon G. W. Ashburn’s resolution, lie said the country was in an “ agony of suspense” to be freed from the thraldom oi disloyalty. Every loyal heart in the State would pulsate with joy at the pas sage ot sueli a resolution. The reporter cannot follow J. If. Caldvveil in his subfitue flights.— He reared, plunged, and pawed the ground.— He pulled the American eagle all around, and wrapped himself tip in the “stars auiksU-ipes,” and thrilled the whole assemblage. G. W. Ashburn rose in support of kb resolu tion, but was called to order by L.N. Tram mell, who in turn was called to or<J« by the Chair, when G. W. Ashburn resumed. He was opposed to delay in the matter. Gov, Jenkins was in the way of this convention, and must be removed. A passage of this resolution would doubtless secure an end so desirable, &e. C. D. Davis, of Walton, wanted t»«ay some thing, The military bill was the death warrant of civil government in the State, and we must, not permit any interference from it. We can not. dally with the enemy—remove him! He was ready to vote upon the resolution—thol power that it would secure was wtJfcd at once. Gov. Jenkins was denounced in bittEif terms as a hair-brained politician, and it was®e duty of this convention to remove all snnhiftstacles.— He respected Gov. Jenkins for W private worth, but, fidelity to the people demands that the track should ot him, and let us do it at Once. ment of Georgia must go down tion must go down. This is inewmble. We cannot make terms with our enemy? Ills knife is at our throat—we cannot temporise—away with all such. (Here Gen. Meade left the hall, followed by those who accompanied him.) < G. W. Ashburn attempted to spafk,.but was ruled out of order. Likewise J. If. Caldwell. L. N. Trammell opposed the rcJNutlou ill a speech of some length, during tifclefivery of which sevemf attempts were rnadwjb interrupt him. lie boldly charged that the Alsnburn reso lution was an effort on the part otjthc conven tion to wrest from Gen. Meade the power and authority given to district commanders by the military bill, and usurp it themselves. Such was unquestionably tlie purpose, else why ask Congress to clothe the convention with equal power. He said it was a gross insult to that distinguished soldier, for a want oUeoufidence in him was plainly implied, and hAhallenged a refutation of the charge. He waHbposed to the resolution of G. W. Ashburnf aud had a substitute to offer, and such was ire character that the true status of the convention would be fixed. There was no dodging it—ho would make the issue very plain. Mr. Trammell then read his substitute, as follows: “ Resolved, That our confidence in the firm ness, ability and fidelity of Major General Geo. G. Meade is full and complete; that we hereby express our opinion that he comes among us to execute the laws of the United States ;'that his powers are ample and complete, and that lie has the will to effect the restoration of tlie Slate lo its full relations as a State of the Union.” Mr. Trammell continued to hold the floor in support of his substitute, and lie intended to force the convention to either vote it tiown, lay it on the table, or “ shirk it ” by calling for the “ previous question.” It was bis linn purpose to compel them to define their true position. If his substitute was voted down, tabled, or e vaded in any way, then Gen. Meade would at once understand that the convention would not trust him. II his substitute was accepted, then it would be plain to every mind that their confi dence in Gen. Meade was “full and complete,” and hence no necessity for Congress to give the convention equal power with him. Efforts were made by Aaron Alpeoria Brad ley (negro), J. E. Bryant, C. C. Richardson, C. 11. Prince and P. B. Bedford to interrupt Mr. Trammell, but the Chair permitted him to re tain the floor in advocacy of his substitute un til the hour for adjournment had arrived. — Mr. Trammell is entitled to the floor at the opening this morning, and will doubtless press his measure to a solution.

Sustain and regulate— these are the Alpha nd Omega of the only theory of cure that has common sense for its basis. If the nervous sys tem is shattered, the muscles weak, and the mind, like the body, in a state of partial collapse—what is it best to do V Reason teaches us the answer: build up your man Brace him as you would braco a tottering edifice. The pabulum he needs is a Tonic Alternative. Bring him up out of the depths of Debility and Despondency with HOSTETTEU’S BITTERS. They cannot injure. A child may take them in doses suited to its years, without the possibiliy of harm. The enfeebled vital powers areas sure to respond energetically to their action as the wilted grass is to erect its blades under the vivifying and re freshing rain. In all cases of debility the BITTERS are absolutely required. There is no substitute or succeda neum that will fill their place. Resort to the most won derful of modern tonics, and all will be well. Bear in mind that in Dyspepsia, Intermittent Fevers, Billious disorders, and affections ot the nerves, no other medicine will produce one tithe of the good effect that invariably follows the use of this excellaut invigorant and cor rectjvr. janl-tls NOTICE.

My son-in-law, who was with me in the store, has been down with rheumatism for some lime, commenced on the Bitters, and soon found his general health improved.3 figg Dr. Gist, who hss been in bad health, tried them, and he also improved. Dr. Coffee, who has been in bad health for several years—stomach and liver affected—he improved very much by the use of your Bitters.

I have received many testimonials from professional and medical men, as my almanacs and various publica tions have shown, all of which are genuine. The follow ing letter from a highly educated and popular physician In Georgia, is certainly one of the most sensible commu nications I have ever received. Dr. Clement knows ex actly what he speaks of, and his testimony deserves to be written in letters of gold. Hear what the Doctor says of “ Bull’s Worm Destroyer: Yili.anow, Walker County. Ga.. ) J uno 29, 1866.5 Dr. John Bull— Dear Sir : I havo recently given your “ Worm Destroyer” several trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It has not failed in a single instance to have the wished for effect. lam doing a pretty large country practice, and have daily use for seme article of the kind. lam free to confess that I know of no remedy recom mended by the ablest authors that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On the contrary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object in writing 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 great doal of it. I am aware lhat the use cf such articles Is contrary to the teachings aud practice of a great majority of the regular line of M. D.'s, but I see no just cause or good sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be efficient, simply because wo may bo ignorant of its combi nation- For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which I may he able to command—not hesitating because somo one more ingenious than myself may have learned its effects first, and secured the soio right to secure that knowledge. However, I am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the coun try, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir. Dleaso reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. I am, sir, most respectfully, JULIUS P. CLEMENT, M. D. BULL’S SARSAPARILLA. A GOOD REASON FOR TIIE CAPTAIN’S FAITH. READ THE CAPTAIN’S LETTER AND THE LETTER FROM HIS MOTHER. Bruton Barrack’s, Mo., April 30,1806. Dr. Joen ßull— Dear Sir : Knowing the efficiency of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing and beneficial quali ties it possesses, I send you the following statement of my case. I was wounded about two years ago—was taken pris oner and confined for sixteen months. Being moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I have not sat up a moment since I was wounded. lam shot through the hips. My general health is impaired and I need some thing to assist nature. I have more faith in your Sarsa parilla than in any thing else: I wish that that is genuine. Please express me half a dozen bottles, and oblige Capt. C. P. JOHNSON, St. Louis, Mo. P. S.—The following was writien April 30, 1805, by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt. Johnson: Dr. Bull— Dear Sir : My husband, Dr. C. S. Johnson, was a skillful surgeon and physician ia Central New York, where ho died, leaving the above C. P. Johnson to my care. At thirteen years of age iie had a chronic diar rhea and scro r ula, for which I gave him your Sarsaparilla. It cured him. I have for ten years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio, and lowa, for scrofula, fever sore.-, and general debility. Perfect success has attended it. The cures effected in some cases of scrofula and lever sores were almost miraculous. lam very anxious for my son to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. He is fearful of getting a spurious article, hence his writing to you for it. His wounds were terrible, but I believe he w ill recover. Respectfully, JENNIE JOHNSON. DR. JOHN BULL, manufaoturbr and vknder of the celebrated Smith’s Tonic Syrup! FOR THE CURE OF AGUE AND FEVER OR CHILLS AND FEVER. The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the safe, certain, speedy, nnd permanent cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. Hoiefers to tho entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case w hatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are ttricily followed and car ried out. In a great many ca i ea a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and w hole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the gen eral health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked more especially in difficult and long standing cases Usually, this medlciue will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order ; should the patient, how r erer, re quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of tho Tonic, a single dose of “ Bull’s Vegeta ble Family Pills ” will be sufficient.
