0c;- We would inform our neighbors of the Au-
gusta Democrat that our private opinion Of Gen
Taylor is, that he is ''every inch Whg''-a
Henry Clay Wing, and should he be a candidate
for the next Presidency will yield him our sup
port. No one who has seen our paper regularly can
doubt that he is our favorite candidate. We were
opposed to having Col. Benton placed over him,
and the vote fcensure 1--WE hope our neighbors will
excuse us for reminding them Of this act Of their
party we viewed as act of the rankest ingrati-
tude. In short, we have always been for him
never against him; and when the proper time
shall have arrived the Taylor Flag will be UNI
furled at the head of our paper.
BY the way, neighbors, please inform the pub
lie why you are so much concerned for the welfare
of the Wing party as to be constantly endeavor-
ing to dssuade them from the support of General
Taylor? There is something really unaccounta-
bic in this, and if not satisfactorily explained will
lead them to believe that you, like the Mexcans,
fear them under such leader as ''Don Zach"

been rather discouragng for the agricultural inter

that inflicted the scourge of Famine and Pestileuce

an ample supply. The immense reduction of cur

will necessarily tend to keep up tie price Of that

ANTICIPATION AND REALITY.

The pleasures of the soldiers life does not al
ways come up to the ardent expectations of glory
before enlistment. Ii is said that recruit iately
writing a letter from the army to his friends at
nome, closes his letter by remarkinr, eff a man
ever asks you to enlist knock him down with n
club" The New York Express is reminded by
TINS anecdote. OF the following the incidents Of
winch are similar, though having reference to a DIFF
ferent kind of enlistment:
a gentleman travelling in the west, came TO n

had gone his death for ''Polk and Dallas.'' under
Whose triumphant auspices he had hoped to ret the
Post Office of the village for his services Rnt
taocgh OFTEN and strongly promised. he had never
succeeded This made him reflective and rather
Iegreuui and he begun TO repent his recent zeal.

said, "Well, voted for Mr.. Polk, any how. and

eiler remarked, well, then, Ididnrn AT this.

VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS on this side of

ty thousand boxes have been disposed of; and cert
Gates Of cures performed by them received from up

great number OF diseases but those which predomina
ted were Bilious Fever, Collie. Habual Costiveness,
Dyscntery, Loss of Appetite, Flatulcnce Worms and
Lowness of Spirts.-A persons who take them ae rec
used in the mildness the energy, and the efficacy of
their action for though they produce neither grippe
Nausea they act the secretons with great direct
ness, force, and rapidity and purgaye leave no.
thing TO be desired. But their great peculiar excel
encc, and that hch distinguishes them from all other
purgatves is that their operation is followed by
action Their unrivalled purifying and purgaive pro-
Sarsapara, and other ingredients, being controlled by
their highly tonic virtues, derived from the of
wild Cherry they do not strain the digestive organs
into action, is the mode of operation with other Ca
hartcs, but on the contrary strengthen them into
ton Thus all other purgativc medicines produce
the gastric juice, while Dr. lie Roys Pills leave all the
machinery Of the system full of life and activity and
