MEDICAL TESTIMONY CANNOT BE
CONTROVERTED.

- One. ofthe most startling cases is mar
rated of DR.. M'Lane's Vermifuge BY DR.. John
Butler, of Lowell, Trumbull Co. Ohio. The
case was that of a young lady who had been
very sick for eight gears, and had consulted a
number of physicians. who had treated it as
one Of Prolapsus Uteri. DR. Butler vas then
called in, and for a time, believed with his
predecessors that it vas a case of Prolapsus. He
was, however, soon forced to the conc usion
that his patient was suffering from worms, and
after much persuasion. prevailed uron her to
take two doses Of DR. M'Lane's Vermifcge.
This medicine had the effect of removing from
her a countless number of the largest size.
After she passed them, her health Immediately
returned. She is since married, and continues
to enjoy excellent health.

The object Of legislation in North Carolina
concerning the liquor traffic, (for it has ARRAYS
been a matter oflegislation) has been two-fold
first rs a subject for rerenue and secondly,
for the purpose of restraining it so as not to
prevent its becoming a public nuisance and a
moral and political evil. Well. now, if it can
be clearly substantiated that all former legisla-
ton has failed, utterly failed in accomplishing
these designs, ought it not to be admitted that
further legislation is required? This would
be granted concerning any other subject. Let
US analyze a little:
First, then, as to ReUenue. We have by
our side the Comptroller's Report of Taxes
paid into the public Treasury Of North Carroll
m for the year lS49, none other being conve-
nient to which to refer at present. From it
we see that the whole amount paid into the
Treasury for license to retail ardent spirits, in
the entire State, is $3,494 92!!! Enormous
consideration with which to bride a sovereign
State into the bestowal of a privilege to its cit.
liens to deul out poverty, suffering, degrade,
ton and death to their fellows! VIII any
one pretend to advocate the license laws of The
State upon the ground ofit furnishing a Rev
enue, with this insignificant sum of the pro
Duet staring him in the face! What singl,
county in the State, we care not how small O
how sparse its population, that does not pa,
more than this amount from the county treasu
ry annually, for the litigation, pauperism anc
crime cntailed by the license system? No
'one; not a single one! If, then, Revenue is tn
object, why not place the tax at least in ade
'quate ratio to cover the expense Of the system
SecondIy-Do the license laws prevent tn
traffic from being a public nuisance and a MOI
al and political evil Ask the thousands VIII
annually perish by the poison they receive q
these ta'0-LcenScd establishments, ask the wors
than widowed wives and starving, half-cla
children TO be found in every community, if
be not n nuisance, a sore and trying evil t
them, and let the wall of woe and agony it ha
'entailed answer the question. Let the besoi

temperance et your shoulder when you
wrote those I'll lines. The approving spir-
its of million lum-murdered victims smiled
benignantly Ihe philanthropic honesty with
which you ens lsed the fact, that all means are
right by which the body and soul destroying
traffic can be stayed and how, sir, | would ur-
gently ask of you, and Of the members of the
Marsh Division, can this traffic be more efec-
lively diseountenaneed than by spurning from
our national councils, from our National and
State Offices, every man with the brand of q
tippler affective his name. / have stated and
again reiferate. that our preference in regard
to Presidential Candidates should be in favor
of him who would be an advocate of the tenn
perance reform movement, but while thinking
thus, we would as soon vote for the elevation of
a mailman, as for one who becomes an adherent
merely with the design of securing votes But
while re-avowing these opinions asmine, | could
not be so unreasonable or so egotist!c as to i'm
agine they would receive universal concurrence
at the same time | must protest against the dis
ingenious manner in which my argument has
been treated. One of the resolutions SAYS: we
RI. e. the Marsh Division protest against all
measures whereby the Order can be made a tool
for political wireworkers and assembling dem
~agogues.' I think I have reason to complain Of
this assumption-this foregone conclusion. The
gist of every article have written has been to
show, that the present political system, from the
base to the apex, is at the feet of the rum-pow-
er, subserveG BIZ political w~ire-workers and
assembling demagogues.' To rescue our high
places of the land, from the communicating in
fuences of these harpies and their nominees, ]
have urged on the Order, in all honesty, to LEND
the sanction of its support, to a friend of Tenn
perance, and such an one only-and in writing
in this stgaiu-I do so for the temperance causo
alone, without thought or care for any of tn
political parties into which the opinions Of tn
country is divided. Believing all parties t.
have been tried in the scale and found wanting
I would suggest the foundation Of a Nationa
Party. which shall nave emblazoned on its ban
ner-Love. Purity and Fidelity, and would no
as the resolutions nsinuate attempt to lead tn
Order from its principles but either encourag
and extend its working utility and stabilitat
its Constitution. JOHN FORD.

alarming truths they may disclose settle the
question. The response in each case will be
a strong and decisive affirmative-the license
law have failed, signally, utterly failed in ac-
comprising the ends designed by their enact
ment!
The question then arises, shall nothing fur
Their be done to remove, or even mitigate these
evils? If it is impolitic to destroy the system
entirely, as some of our lawmakers contend,
ought not som appliances to be used, in order
that the good designed may be accomplished!
Ought not the people to have something to
say concerning it? Should not those Of each
community be permitted to determine whether
they will have these licensed shops in their
midst? If a majority desire them, they can
have tnem-but if a majority do not wish them,
may they not have the privilege of refusing
them admission in their neighborhoods. The
privilege is given the people of Mississippi to
decide for themselves--give the people ofNorth
Carolina the same republican freedom, and we
| shall be content. Give Us the Mississippi law
ballowing no one to sell less than fifteen gal
Ions unless those who have been licensed-and
no one to receive license unless recommended
by a majority of the heads of families as there.
in provided, and making the license tax some.
thing sufficient to create a reUenue, and ther
we shall be able to decide whether anything
short of entire prohibition can alleviate the
evil.

I take this opportuni ty of informing you of
a Temperance celebration on Saturday the 10th
Inst. held at Roberts church, where the Division
No. 305, holds its meetings. After the congre-
CATION assembled, the Rev. Mr.. Montague preach
ed TO the congregation; his text wassuitable For the
occasion, and his Sermon impaired a Temper
ance lecture, as he intended it. But the Sermon
done credit to himself and the cause. The drift of
his argument was to show the great evil Of intem-
perance.
The Ladies then presented a BIBLE to the Di-
vision, through the Rev. j. A. McMannen, who
made one ofhis most happy and Jealous speeches.
He said the ladies were deprived of becoming
members Of the order of the Sons, but they could
use their influence in other WAYS, which they
had done on this occasion it would tell in
time and in eternity. Many other good things
he said, as lie always does, when speaking to
advance the cause of Temperance.
Bro. NJ. Harris, w. P, responded to the Rev
Mr.. McMannen, In some appropriate and happy
remarks.
The congregation then retired to the grove.
partook of the refreshments prepared for the
occasion, then the people assembled again il
the church, and another capital address wa
delived by Rev j. S.. Moore.
On concluding, he made it known, if there
f were any persons present who wished to ioir
| the Sons, they then had an opportunity to d.
so. Five or six of the prominent men of tn,
neighborhood went forward and were initiated
at night. Every thing seemed to 90 off well,

I have been compelled to condense this commu

LINcoLNroN, N. c. July 5, 1852.

According to notice previously given, a
Convention of the Sons Of Temperance from
the surrounding Divisions met in the town
of Lincolnton, on the 3rd of July 1852, and
organized by appointing E. J. Erwin of Nor
canton, Chairman and Bro. w. P. Rein
hardt Of Newton, and w. R. Clark O Lin-
c~olnton, Secretaries. The object Of the Con-
%vention being explained, the role of Divis-
ions being called, it was found that fifteen Di-
visions were represented by delegates, while
numbers were represented by letter. 1t was
ReSolved, that we vote by Divisions. 1t was
then moved and unanimously Resolved that
we have a mass meeting Of the Sons Of TEN
perance, at Rock Spring camp ground, in
the County Of Lincoln, near the Catawbd
Springs and Beaties ford, on the Catawba
river, commencing on Thursday the 2lst O
Oct. next, and to continue for 4 or 5 days.
1t was resolved that a committee of FIVE be
appointed to procure speakers for the occa
sion, and to extend the invitation to all the
Divisions in the State, together with The
adjoining Divisions of S. G.
The chairman then appointed the follow
ing brothers to compose said committee, viz
Brother Lee, A. Moore, 81. w. Alternately
VIM. j. Hoke, VIM. R. Edwards and VIM
r. Clark.
1t was Resolved that Beatie's ford Division
be appointed a committee Of arrangements
