Mr.. JOSEPH !. YoUNGLovE,-
Sir: As duty owe to the community,
and particularly to the afflicted would state that
l had been for number of years Iaborng under
disease and weakness of the lungs, which caused
me to cough great deal. and Produced consequent
debility of my system generally TO such degree,
that it was with difficulty could walk to do which
even for short distance, I experienced great ia.
tigue. ! had various medicines recommended 10
me, which used without any beneficial effects
whatever, until procured bottle of Wild Cherry.
The use of one bottle afforded relief, entirely re-.
leving me of cough, and restoring my lungs to
healthy action. The use of it for short time in
creased my general health and strength to such an
extent that was stronger and more healthy than
had been for years before. From the trial have
made of the medicine, l can confidently recomend
it as powerful tonic, acertan cure for affections

DISTRICT

awe have ~endeavored BY q correspond
|ence with :he members Of the Committee,
for the selection of a time and place for
holding the next democratic Convention in
this District, to ascertain their view on
that subject. So far as we have heard
from them, they are of opinion that the
next Convention should b.. held on the
side of the Missouri River, early in
the spring: From a careful examination OF
the views given by all from whom VIC. have
heard, we are inclined to believe that it
would suit the views of a majority, if not
every member of the Committee, that the
Convention should be held at Herman, in
Gasconade county, on the Sd Monday-.in
March. We therefore propose Herman as
the place. and the Sd Monday in March as
the time for holding the Convention, and if
no objection is made by any member Of the
Committee, we shall consider the question
as settled. A majority of these from whom
we have heard, concur with us on this sub
ject, but if any other member of the Com
mittee would prefer another time or place,
let him make it known at as early a day as
practicable, in order that the question may
be speedily settled; and that the Delegates
may know when and where 10 attend.
Banner Of the LIST ult.
AS no member Of the Committee has OBJ
jected TO the time and place designated
above, We will now take the responsibility
naming the third Monday in March as
the day for holding the next Democratic
District Convention, at Herman in Gascon-
ade county. The St. Louis Union and Han.
nibal Gazette will please notice this, in or
der that it may be generally known when.
and where the Convention will be held.

STILL THEY COME.

In g late speech at Marshal, Saline
county, the gallant Capt. Reid, who 'distin-
euished himself in the defence of his coun-
try at Sacramento, and during the whole
of Col. Doniphan's arduous campaign, pub
IlicIy renowned all connexion with the wing
party, in consequence of the unpatriotic
course of lis leaders in regard to the Next
lean war.
Doniphan, too, refused to ba the candi-
date of that party for the first Office in this
state, for similar reasons. Col. Wynkoop
of the Pennsylvania Regiment has written
home a letter from Perote, in which he de-
nounces the leading wing papers in which
lie formerly had confidence, for articles
they contain condsmning their own coun-
Try, and furnishing the enemy with argu-
|ments.
The following extract from that letter is

NO PARTYISM,

We again ask who are the advocates Of
the "nO-party" party? The most violent
partisan of the present Wing party; such
for instance as the Editors of the Richmond
(Va.) Wing, Louisville Journal, and Ma
tional Wig. When no part.yism is preach
ed by sch partisams, what confidence can
the people have in the sincerity of their
.persuasions? Their object is too appa-
rent,-g;ve them thu reins Of government,
and partyisn is the most lovely thing in the

GENEROSITY OF IRELAND.

While the attention Of the nation has
been turned to the depIorabie condition Of
IRELAND, and the benevolent have nobly
stepped forward to rescue her famine strick-
en- millions from a terrible death; it may not
be generally known that We are but paying
a debt of gratitude to that people too, as
well as to the cIvER of all good. It was in
the year 1876 during the rage Of King
Phillips war, when the husbandmen had
yielded the sickle for the rifle, and famine
was staring his children in the face, that
benevolent Ireland, whose sympathies are
always easiest touched, generously con-
tribnted to the relief of the destitute colo
MES. (See Bancroft's U. S. I'd vol. p. lO9.)
Thus it is that the brcad they have cast upon
the waters, after many days, is seen again
returning TO feed the hungry and sustain
them in this their hour of affection and need.
