Old Doctor Jacob Townsend,
THE ORIGINAL DIsCovERER OF THE GENUINE
TOWNSEND'S SARSPARILLA

THE ORIGINAL DIsCovERER OF THE GENUINE
TOWNSEND'S SARSPARILLA.
THERE ARE A CLASS OF SPECTATORS
J. who being both ignorant and unprincipled,
seize upon anything by which they can delude
the public and fill their own pockets. The
great Sarsaparlla root as a cure for all forms
of diseases, has induced many of these men to
to attempt to palm off some compound which
they Label as an extract of the pure Honduras
Sarsaparilla. The country has been flooded
with these compounds, and many have been in
duced to purchase them, but the only result has
been cruel disappointment. A thin, washy
mess of stuff, cooked up without any regard to
the effect upon the patient, can but bring down
upon the manufacturers the condemnation of a
deceived public. ..-
One Of these Humbugs,
Which has had more extensive sale than most,
has just exploded. We refer to that notorious
sour fermentng compound of s p. Townsend's
Hehas been compelled to quit the business, and his
article is now thrown into the market at any
price to get rid of it. .-......
If any desires proof of this we only ask them
to step into any wholesale drug store and en-
quire for S. p. Townsend's Sarsaparilla The
day for creating reputation for medicine by
newspaper putting and forged certificates, is
passed, and it is only those of real ,corth which
can stand the test of time.

parilla Extracts,

give no satisfactory account OF his movements during

He alleged that he lodged a, the house OF man BY the
name OF Ford twho lives in the neghbohood OF Black
Bird the night OF the murder; which declaration Ford
corroboraed but stated that Dummond did not arrive at
his house until late hour OF the night. Ooe of the

came forward and testified tina, be and Drunmond were
out together on the afternoon and night OF the MURDER

have all been arrested except Shelton and the officers are

Il is not our purpose in this retrospect to weaken the
tribute which is due TO the authors OF the Compromise.
nor to the present Executive for the support he has
given to that Our object il only to mark the
fact that the necessity for that Compromise could not
have arisen under democratic auspices and that the evils
which prodcced il are attributable TO the encousg
given by the whg party to sectional influences running
back as far as The election Of General Jackson
Nor DO we think the truth of these observations is
weakened by the assertion often made that the adyo-
Gates OF publication and secession are a. extayagxnt in
their preensons the extreme OF the aconsts of
the North These doctrines could not exist in the South
and would have been heard Of il there had not
been real injuries done 10 the South and far greater ones
threatened by the growing influence Of the doctrines Of
such men as Mr.. Seward when the Compromise was
finally adopted.
The question, then, we think between the democratic
and whg parties u.s. Which of the two now stands before
the American people in the position the best calculated to
apply permanent remedy to the evils which have been
engendered by sectional feelings, and by an aban-
donment Of the old national platforms (which of the
two has the most faithfully adhered to the true
compacts Of the Union. and contended for the absti-
nence OF all dangerous innovations upon the doctrine
that regards the States equals and the federal as
limited system Of government II is within the limits OF
this inquiry, made fairly and dispassiona,ey, that we
hope the discussions in respect to the next presidency
will be conducted and if they we fear not the iudg.
ment which impartial and enlightened people will
render.
