was for years afflicted, feel il duty incumbent

vuNHESE BitteIs are purely a vegetable com

principle Of henevolence, under the fullest convic-
ton thai they will be found safe and sovereign
-emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trium-
,hanily tested, not only by some Of the most re-
'pectable families and physicians in the State Of
south Carolina, who have furnished ample iesti-
nony their decided excellence, but also by the
proprietor who for ten years, suffered all the gloom
accident TO that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Btiers Of not proving injurious by con-
tinncd use. They contain not single dele,erions

With pleasure, and for the benefit of mankind I
send you certificate relative 10 the CoIleton Bit
ters st.
In the year 1898, when the cholera was in
Charleston, s. c., was compelled TO send aservant
to the city. On his return, he was suddenly attack
ed with most violent pain in his bowels, much
to cause apprehension that he would expire in a
short time II medical aid could not be procured.
Immediately resorted TO the Coeton Bitters by Civ
ing wine glass full at dose. La the course OF u
very short time il achsi as emetc, and throwing
him at the same time into profuse perSpiration.
then continued TO give in small doses, from fc0 to
three tea spoonsfnli, which resulted in happy re-.
covery. Since then have been using it constantly
in my family, in cases Of cholera mo,bus, cholera
infantum, diaIrhRa and general debility. and in
every instance found IL highly b-nrfctai. f,Umr
constitutions however, require much larger doses
than others.

OPINION OF THE LATE SILAS WRIGHT ON
TERRITORIAL ACQUISITION.

The Opinion of the late Ex-Governor WRIGHT,
just made public as follows, on subject which
now engages, in opposite parts of our country,
much OF the public attention, cannot at this partcu-
lar time be without interest for any one who takes
note OF passing events:
FROM THE NEW York EVENING SEPTEMBER l3
twill rememberedhat far back last April attempt
made by certain prints in this and other States to excite
impression in the public mind that Mr. WnIGHT OPP
posed to the Wmot poviso This attempt exposed by
at the time, effort that made mislead and de-
ceye the public and misepesent the opinions of Mr. Wright
The various articles which appeared in the papers col
ieced bya member of the last Legislature and sent to that
gentleman, who replied this attention in very explicit
letter, Ander the date of Canton, April Is, ls47.
From this reply make, this time, only the following
extract:
ed, prefer have my opinions upon any pub
lie question made the subject Of discussion in The public pa
pers. II is impossible separate such discussions the
public mind, from impression either that the individual
himself wishes his opinions promulgated, that his friends
promugae them because they think they will influence others
while, here is dispute about what opinions really
teaned The implication to many minds is that contradictory
opinions hive been expressed know not in this case,
my fendswho promugatng my opinions but that they
are trying correct erroneous opinions imputed TO My
only object therefore, in this remark is to request that the
whole subject may be disposed of so far practicable, with
out protracted discussion.
I maybe closed before you get this but if not then
suggest that be stated in very summary way that am
opposed in Principle to the conquest purchase Of territory
now free fol the purpose of incorporating slavery upon
that think an appropriate time to declare that principle
when appropriation asked to purchase the territory and
that such declarations made at such time, oppo-
stion to the Administration, unless be avowed that the Ad
mnistraon wishes acquire the territory for the extension
slavery, which case would think the Administration
wrong and the declaration right"
