consent of my physician TO use Wistar's Balsam OF
Wild Cherry prepared by DR.. Wistar. purchas-
ed OF the agent in our place one bottle, before us

was very evident my cough was great deal better,

as the oars of his flat boat, when he was
accosted by one Of those who go about
seeking green ones to fleece. This fellow,
looking very mysterious, put his hand in

what seemed TO he flashing, emerald. dou-

the Missourian, with kind of confidential,
stage gesture, and asked in seml-suppress-
ed voice, if he would not like to buy that
he would get the greatest kind of bargain
of it.
The materials Of the pin or pins, we need
not tell our readers, instead of being emer-
aid or gold, were stained with glass and
lacquered brass. This fact the Missourian
knew at a glance, though he affected to be
quite unconscious of it. He went on TO
bargain for it, till the sharper consented to
give it for five dollars, thought if he were
not hard up, he said, and if his shirts were
not seized for his board, he would not give
il for forty.

They parted. The sharper carried away
a counterfeit ten dollar bill--for such was
the one given him by the Missourian-the
latter returned to his boat. told how he bit
the bitter, and treated all hands out of the
profits Of the trade.

THE SEASON,

Since October last we have had but
about two inches of rain, (meteorologicaly
spcaking) and the lowness of the springs,
as well as the parchcd and dusty state Of
the soil and roads, fully attest that extern
sive want of moisture which pervades this
section of the State. True, there was a
partial shower last week, which extende d

terms, or we would say so a, once) as it
progressed, which was of much benefit TO
those portions Of the country favored by
its visit-but rain, in its comprehensive
sense, is, as yet, withheld. The season is
uncommonly dry. Farmers who planted
their corn crops are anxiously looking for
that moisture so indispensably necessary
for their coming up. Those anticipating a
seasons engagement in growing Tobacco
are almost discouraged when they see their
plant beds, sown last January.in stdtu quo;
and those intending to make Hemp their
principle crop are generally postponing the
sowing of their seed that they may pay
their respects to a sheet Of water.

and at this writing, Friday, noon, the pros.

RHODE ISLAND ELECTIoN.-Thc New

JAcKsoN's clear majority will be about 1875
votes.
Lieut.. Gov. DIMAN, and all the rest of the
regular law and order State ticket, are re-
elected over the candidates supported by
those in favor of llberating Dorr, by about
400 majority.
Hon. HENRY Y. CRANsToN, Wing, and

opposition. He has over 5000 votes 10

did not vote at all, and never protested to
be in any way a Wing. The Governor
elect is thorough Clay Wing, as are all

Both the Congressman elect are Wings

THE CuNvENTIoN.-The last Democrat
contains recommendations, editorially and
by communications, of the following per-
sons for the Convention, viz:
DR.. c. r. Scott, J. C. Ross, J. p Morris,
l.. Robiou, J. J. Lowry. DR.. J. w. Red
man, c. C. p. Hill, c. F. Jackson, J. A.
DeCourcey.
The worth and services of these gentle
men, and their claims on the democracy
are set forth, and the determination seems
to be, to bring out party man, and force
the party to unite on HMM short, to
make the canvass for the Convention strict.
Iy party matter. This, in our.opinion, is
wrong view Of the subject. The altering
of our present constitution, or the forma-
ton Of new one, should not be mixed up
with the party politics of the day. In the
selection of Delegates to. the Convention.
party predictions should be laid aside
demagogueism frowncd down-and men
selected who have experience and capacity,
and who, themselves, can soar above polit-
ical prejudiccs and party tactics. The
emergency calls for such men, and if they
can he found, they should be brought for
ward. In this NATTER we caution the peo-
pile TO beware of those who appeal to par
~ prcjudices and appear before them and
claim their support upon party grounds -
such .men have no business in Conven-
ton where a Republican Constitution is to
be framed.
The Democrat which contains notices of
the above gentlemen, has an article on the
subject of selecting a candidate for this
county. Charlton and Howard compose
the district, which is entitled TO two Dele
gates in the Convention, and it is conceded
that each county should select one of them.
In reference to the candidate for this coun.
~, the editor says:--
"Who shall it be? Here is an opportunity for
the different asprants TO show their msgnanimity,
their good sense, their integrity 10 the principles
they profess, and even their fitness for the Office,
by unreservedIy submitting 10 the people to de.
eide who shall be the candidate; and il gives us
pleasure TO say that, so far as we can learn, all
are willing 10 this course. This is right for
though it is true that all have right TO present
themselves for office, the people have the an.
doubted right TO say whose services they will &C.
cept; and that man ucho attempts TO force himself
upon them, most dSsuredly cannot rise"
We itdliciSe the two last lines, and from
them we infer that there is something
wrong. They are at least very threatening.

TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT AccIDENT.--The
New Orleans Picayune of the 9th contains
the following account of the explosion Of
the steamer ELIzABETu:
The Elizabeth started from New Orleans
on Sunday even last and when entering
the Courtableau from the Atchafalaya, her
boilers collapsed, and completely tore her
upper works to atoms. The explosion took
place about o'clock on Tuesday morning
TO which may be attributed the preserva,
ton of many lives, as her entire work:
above the boilers were swept away, together
with her boilers and deck fixtures. Shortly
after the accident the "Wave" came up and
rendered all the assistance in her power
and towed the wreck up TO Washington
Two or three of the crew were killed and
several others badly scalded. Passengers
uninjured except few who were slightly
bruised.
