as the blows Of the federal champions fell *:

help it, The fault is not ours. In the laDon." O'
of Lew Woodbury., we go where Demoo.'s.
principles lead, and when they cease to lead ""e
cease to follow. We, therefore, appeal -
brother Democrats of the District to look tbo @
full in the face-to bestir themselves, and to oS
up to the aid of Mr.. Lewis. He is not Wa or l"S
to confess, the first choice of many in the Dist,,
but that's matter about which we have no tin,','
think, much less to act. Heis young pentlos'
of decided ability sound upon all the issnes J.
ted to organization, and will make a useful o.,
liable representative. He has met Mr.. yanohI.
manner which would have done credit tn an ,,1
and experienced debater. He has him in tho ~
on the defensive, and he keeps him there ~:
contending boldly and nobly for all our priincirI,.
and he will go to Washington, not to op,oso =.
.embarrass Gen. Pierce, but to give him co,di.,
support. By vigorous and united raIy his oIaa
ton can'be secured. Every vote for Mr.. VeD,hl.
no matter upon what grounds, will be vo.'
against Democratic principles on land distrbution
as laid down by Gen. Jackson, by the State and
Baltimore Conventions, and as held by all the n.
mocratic candidates in the other Districts and l..
all the Democratic presses of the State with IN.
voice. Every vote withheld from Mr. Lows
will strengthen Mr.. Rogers, for the reason that fl.
contestis between the two, and the latter is sn,.
of the full Wing vote. That vote must be ova,
come by Mr.. Lewis, or defeat awaits us. Uuita
then, brother Democrats, and determine in vour
strength that the Democratic flag shall still stream in
triumph over this District. What care we for
man, for men, when our principles are at stake!
Men pass away like leaves in autumn, but
principles live evermore. Let us, then still cherish
these principles in hearts and vote them at the
polls, and cling to them, whatever may betide us,
the mariner cings to his last plank when night
and the tempest close around him."

~ We give place to-day, most cheerfully, to
the communication over the signature of Jonathan
NJ Stone. Mr.. Stone is sound Democrat and
has done good seryicesin the cause. We are con-
cerned to see him forgetting principle, for a
moment, in his regard for man. We hope the
" sober-second thought, seldom wrong and always
efficient" will have its due influence on his judg-
ment.
Our paper has been open and still is to Mr..
Venable's friends. Come on, brother Democrats,
if you swillwe regret your course, but your vol

nothing to fear from discussion. -. q 1...s

There eight Districts in this State, and the
Democrats, it is seen, have candidates in six Dis
tricts. The prospect for electing all of them is
good.
We learn that portion of the Democrats of the
fifth District, composed of the Counties of Person,
Caswell, Alamance, Chatham, Randolph, Guilford,
Moore and Montgomery, intend to vote for the
Hon. A. Rencher, of Chatham, and we have been
requested so to state. We do not raise Mr.. Rench-
er's name, because he is not candidate.

ScrOfula and Chronic Disease.

The following is taken from n work pub.
lished by ID. A. Tyler, Nj. D., of New Ha.
ven, CT. -
The Rock Rose has been used by Prof. Eli
Ives, Of New Haven, for about thirty years
anterior to this period. Says DR.. Tyler, !
have no indication of its use in regular prac-
tice, how or when Prof Ives first obtained
it, he does not now recollect. He prescrib-
ed it in cases Of Scrofula, and always in
forms Of decoction. 1t is now somewhat
common article in domestic practice, for the
cure. of ScrOfula and Cutaneous diseases
Whitlaw, Scotch Botanist of notoriety,
who Travelled in America about 1914 and '15,
learned its use probably in Canada, and
used it for indicating Baths in his establish
ment in England, which became celebrated
for the cure Of Scrofula and other Chronic
Diseases. The Rock Rose possesses the pow
er of resolving ScrofulOus tumors, and one
of the first and most obvious effects of this
medicine, is an improved appetite and diges-
ton.

near Cincinnati, Ohio. We believe he
was the eldest of the large Family of
that name, which originated at Milford,
N. H., and has made it a household
word wherever simple and sweet English
song is loved He was about forty
years of age, and at the time of his death
was on his way home from California,
where, We believe, he had not been very
fortunate. c.

New HoTEL.-A meeting of the
citizens of East Greenwich was held at
Arcade Hall on Saturday evening, when
the importance of erecting first class
hotel for the accommodation of visitors
was discussed. A committe was ap-
pointed to ascertain the cost of lot
suitable for such building and to report
this evening. 1t is thought that the
stock will be readily taken up in small
amounts. A public house, capable of
accommodating one hundred boarders,
will add to every branch of industry, and
materially assist in increasing the growth
and prosperity of our town.--Kem Co.
