Judge Sharkey, was among the first and
prime movers in getting mp the State Rights
party, aud in causing the Democracy TO
loose sight, for the time, of their party name.
Indeed, so active was he, that the whg
papers of the State, especially the Nat. Cou-
rier, denounced him as noglccting his oflici.
al business, to canvass the State, and make
speeches against the Union. But Judge
Sharkey made visit to Washington, where
the programme OF his play was laid down,
and as soon, as he returned to Mississippi
he began TO perform his part. lie was
handed the following bill, by Mossrs, Fill.

DR.. w B. sloan-sir: My daughter, of about
ten years old. had been very lame, and had suf-
fsred wonderfully for year or more with a
b unch or swelling on her knee, which was pro-
duced by an injury she received in falling. Her
knee had got to be full double its naturrl size
and nothing seemed to help it Or make it any
better. Besides blistering, we tried many other
remedies prescribed by the physicians without
any benefit or relief to the girl. then heard of
your Ointment. and in September last procured
one box of it at Sloan's Medicine Depot in Buf.
falo, NY. We used it rather sparingly, but
she received such benefit from it that procured
another box. and by the time the second box was
half used up the girl was well OF her laneness,
and the buach or swelling had entirely disap-
peared We used the Ointmen rather f,ithless-

freely and constantly, the cure would have been
