WEIGH AND CONSIDER.

DR. Halls Balsam, is no Paregorc but Med.
cine which makes cures al home where the par
lies can lie found. The great Cough and Con-
sumptive remedy.
Reader! have you a cough, which you are
nrglectng undert The idea that il is only com
mon cold, and that it will soon "wear itself
out r. Let friend tell you, in all kindness,
what will soon be the probable result Iu
short time, if Ou continue to neglect yourse f.,
you will begin to feel sense tightness and
opp esson across the chest, accompanied with
frequent sharp darting pains. Then dry
hacking cough will set in, and when you raise
anything it will be IA thick and yelIowish, or
white irothy matter, streaked perhaps with
blood. If you still take no medicine, these un.
pleasant symptoms will increase, and you will
soon have hectic fever, cold chills, night sweats
copious expcctorhtion, and then great proSlra-
ton. If you still neglect YOURSELF d few weeks
or months will see you CO signed to the rave,
leaving your friends to mourn how RAPIDLY
consumption did its work, and hurried you
away. Friend! have you no cause to be alarmed I
In the above sketch you may see in glass
how every case OF consumption progresses, with
nore or less rapidity, to a fatal termination.-
Oi all the thousands and millions whom this
great destroyer mas Bhtnefed TO the tomb, every
single case began wit cold If this had
been attended to, all might have been well /;
but, being neglected, under the fatal deuson
that 1t woulu "wear itself off," 1t transferred its
DeadIy action to the substance of the Lungs
exciting there the formation of tuberces'-
Another, and another cold added fuel to the
flame, until these tuberces began TO soften and
suppurale, leaving, by their liberation, great
cavities in the Lungs, AT this crisis the dis.
ease is cry difficult OF cure, and oitentimes sci
at defiance all human means.
In The latter, or worst stage, this medicine
will oitentmes arrest the disease, or check lis
progress, and will Away make the patient more
comfortable, and prolOng his life, and IL is there.
fore worthy Of trial-but in its incipient or
forming periods, Consumption is as durable as
any other disease, and Dr.. Halls Balsam for the
Lungs, if taken at this time, will cure IL as
surely as ii is taken We earnestly exhort all
who have cough, or are subject to colds, TO
keep the medicine by them, and whenever YOU
take cold, eradicate 1t thoroughly, and at once,
by this powerfully healing compound, anu Ieav
your Lungs, uninJured, to carry you in full
. igor to a good old ape.

THE. MI. HIS CONVENIlCN.
stisb ast WASHINGTON Republic contains the pro-
coedsngs at length Of this Convention, which as
ssn,bled with the view Of deyislng the best means
for eftecting a Railway communication between the
Atlantic and Western States and California, and
also of developing the resources of the South and
West, &c.
North Carolina was not represented.
Resolutions were adopted declaring that Rail
road to the Pacific is !" demanded not only by
commercial and individual interests, but by our
national necessities, and that as soon as the sur
veys, recently ordered are completed, the general
government should adopt such steps as VIII insure
the completion of the main trunk of sad road az
tbe earliest possible period. Resolutions were
also passed in favor of the proposed Railroad
across the Isthmus of TehuantePec; also IN favor
Of manufactures, education, DC. in the South, and
steamers from Southern ports for Europe. The
general government was also requested to make
the cotton interest subject of instructions to our
foreign commercial and diplomatic agents and the
steps taken by the general government to obtain
the fullest information in respect to the countries
bordering on the Oronoco, Amazon, and La Plata
rivers with view to opening up the trade OF those
vast regions to American enterprise" were warm
ly approved.
William c. Dawson, John Bell, Henry S. Foote.
Gen. Quitman, John NJ. Bolts, Gen. Memucan
Hunt, and F. P. Blair, Jr. were leading members
of this Convention.
We regard the spirit which begins to prevail in
favor of building up Southern interests by means
of Railroads and intercourse with foreign ports as
highly commendable; and we trust this spirit may
increase and produce its Legitimate results. But
we cannot close eyes to the tendency of certain
views and certain movements. The next Congress
will be called upon to adopt such steps as will
ensure the completion of the main trunk Of
Railroad from the Mississippi river to the Pacific
ocean! How many millions of dollars such road
would cost, we have means of knowing; but
we may reasonably calculate that net less than
fifty millions would suffice. But the question of
power and not ofcost is the one for consideration;
and to this point the American people will first |
direct their attention. For one we can never con-
sent that the general government shall embark in !
a general system of internal improvements. How
ever desirable the construction of this road may
be-howeyer much it may facilitate communca-
ton between different portions of the country and
of the world, still the want of constitutional pow
by the government to effect it, stands prom-
nently forward, and will operate as potent check
upon the movement in the minds of large por-
ton of the people
