the Hero Of the Rio Grands, Monterey, and Bue-
ma Vista, to the next Presidency, for which we be-
lieve he has already been nominated by acclama-
ton in the hearts Of his grateful countrymen. But
while we advocate the election Of this dis
tinguishsd and whole-souled Wing, who has
proved himself to be the greatest Captain of the
age in series Of battles without parallel in the
annals of warfare, and who, in his dispatches has
exhibited power of intellect and soundness of
judgment unsurpassed in the history of the human
mind, we freely throw open our columns to the
discussion Of the merits, by their friends, of the
other many eminent men, of the Wing party whose
names have been associated with the Presidency.
While Major General Taylor is our choice for the
Presidency, whom we believe no earthly power
can prevent the people from eevating unanimous
ly to the first gift in their choice token ofther
appreciation of his true greatness, we shall be
guided by the voice Of the great Wing party of
which we are but an humble member, and, if it
should, in the course of events, be ordered that
any other person than the man of our preference
shall be selected as our candidate, we shall yield
him our cordial support.
The Weekly Wing Will attack Al every assaiia-
BILE point, and ceaselessly, all the measures Of the
present administration of public affairs which shall
be deemed to be adverse to the interests of the
country, and will expose without fear or favor the
corruptions of the party in power.
The columns Of the Weekly Wing will be open
to the pens of every Wing in the country for the
discussion Of the great political and other questions
of-the day, and to every Democratic pen, too, in
terested in enlghtning the public mind respecting
the corruptions and imbecility Of the men to whom
in an evil hour, the Democratic party intrusted
the power Of the Government.

It is with feelings Of gratitude as well as pleasure
that take this method Of giving my testimony of
the great estimation which entertain for your in
valuable compound. In justice not only to the
dcine, but for the benefit of others who may be su
ferng from the same malady, Dyspepsia, with which
was for years afflicted, feel it duty incumbent
on me to state that am now restored to perfect
health. When commenced taking the Colleton
Bitters it was last resort. My debility from in
digestion was 90 great that cure was looked upon
as almost hopeless. After taking it regularly and
perseveringly for some time, my strength and d.
gestive powers were entirely restored have never
taken single dose Of any other medicine for more
than five years past. now eat the richest food
without any unpleasant feelings whatever. | have
also used Collector Biters freely in my family for
cholera u ontum, cholera morbus, general debility
and as tonic after fever with great success. As
family medicine deem it invaluable, and do con-
scientiously recommend it.

COLLEToN BITTERs.

NHESE Bitters are purely vegetable com
- pound, and are offered to the public from
principle Of benevoence, under the fullest convic-
ton that they will be found a safe and sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trum-
ohantly tested, not only by some of the most re-
pectable families and physicians in the State of
south Carolina, who have furnished ample test-
mony as to their decided excellence but also by the
proprietor, who for ten years, suffered all the gloom
incident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Biters, of not proving injurious by con-
tnuea use. They contain not a single deletarious
ingredient, and, AZ seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an infant in the menth.
With pleasure, and for the benefit of mankind, /
send you certificate relative to the Collector Bit
tiers.
In the year 1888, when the cholera was in
Charleston, s. o., was compelled to send servant
to the city. On his return, he suddenly attack
ed with most violent pain in his bowels, SO much so
as to cause apprehension that he would expire in
short time, if medical aid could not be procured.
Immediately resored to the Colleton Bitters by Civ
ing wine glass full at dose. In the course of a
very short time it acted an emetic, and throwing
him at the same time into profuse perspiration.
then continued to give in small Doses from tw0 to
three tea spoonsfull, which resulted in happy re-
covery. Since then have been using it constantly
in my family, in casss Of cholera morbus, cholera
| infantum, diarrhGa and general debility, and in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions. however, require much larger doses
than others.

bridge, at the same moment that another
young man on the bridge undertook to
jump from the bridge to the boat. They

water much TO the amusement of mum.

One person seemed to enjoy the scene
very heartily, judging from his laughter,
to the no small chagrin Of the bathers.--
The boat backed, and the laughing per-
son bent forward over the edge of the
bridge to enjoy the predicament of those
in the water, when all of a sudden his
foot slipped and into the river over head
and ears he went, ard the Laughter and
laughed at were struggling in the water
all In hemp. 1t is unnecessary to say that
the plunge caused the man TO laug ON
the other side of his mouth, but it didn't

water were taken out uninured-,he
third was slightly bruised. This should
