SOUTHERN TONIC.-This preparation is offered
~ to the public with feelings of decacy, for in this
age Of quackery the proprietors are well assured it
is harrassed by an enormous catalogue Of stufs for
the cure of all maadies. The inventors of this val
liable medicine, from long residence at the South,
and from the nature Of their vocation, have come
Immediately in contact with all the diseases incident
to that climate, and have been astonished at finding
great proportion Of nvalids suffering from fever
and ague. Having witnessed the want of success in
the practice of the most skilful physicians, and the
entire failure of the best prescriptions put up BY
themselves they were induced to try the Southern
Tonic, preparation which had long before suggested
itself to them, and were gratifed beyond their most
sanguine hopes by its virtues.
This will be found valuable Alternative, as well as
tonic, in most Of general debility or weakness
and in cases Of torpid and inactive state OF the di-
gestve functions, this medicine will regulate the
bowels, give tone to the stomach, and increase the
Appetite and leave the patient in comfortable state

fully calls upon those defendants who desire him to

The advertiser is not so unreasonable as to expect
the officer, when he arrests stranger or citizen, IN
whose promise to appear before justice of his own

defendant by taking his word. But it is hoped by the
advertiser tea no attempt will hereafter be made by
the officer to PERSUADE influence, deter defendants,

We heartily congratulate our Editorial friend
MonroS Mcsl1cHAEL on his luck IN waking ln'o
the sherfTalty of Philadelphia for three years
worth, as reported, some $4,000 year i"s
bare prospect of such windfall would stem
enough to craze one of the lean and hungfy Oio-
therhood. But Morton is one Of the rghl SOFT
and Will get used to it, easily

Readnger Adler or something OF that sorI, IN

ter has done much to thicken the darkness which
there preyails-The other is Col JOHN WENT
woRrn-familiarly long John of the Chicago
Delnocrat-not a remarkably favorable specimen
of the craft
Cleverer men have worse luck. For instance,
JOSEPH c. NEAL of the Pennsylvania, the best
Loco Editor alive, has Just been beaten again IN
Philadelphia City, as he was certain to be in that
District Why don t his party run him IN one
of the County Districts, in place Of their John
Smiths and McCulys? He would be worth
regiment of them in the Capitol, where his rare
humor would do much to override the fractlous-
ness which appears to be epidemic there
In the best District in Maine, the Wings I'M
dertook to send LUTHER SEVERANCE, of the ken-
nebec Journal capital choice-but they were
defeated for the time by those everlasting trouo-
lcrs, the Thrd-P Party AboGtionists. We trust he
will go yet.
In our neighboring District of New-Jcrsey'
WILLIAM B. KINNEY Of the Newark Daily has
lust been run and beaten. Now we do not know
personally Mr.. Wright, the Member elect; we
arc assured he is a good Wing as can be- yet we
must say that he must possess rare qualifications
if he is a better man or better fitted for the sta
ton than William B. Kinney. We cannot resist
the conviction that Mr.. X. has been shabby
treated by those who should have known better
His capacity is undoubted; his requirements lib
cral his character without a stain; he never
sought the nomination, and was taken up as
compromise candidate, when Earring local claims
threatened disaster No man has done more for
the Wing cause in New-Jersey, or more to pro.
mote Education, Temperance, and all Moral and
Intellectual good Why, then, is he thus wound
cd in the house of his triends?'
