J. A. RHODES, Esq Dear Sr-As took your
medicine on consignment mo cure no pay"
take pleasure in stating its effects as reported to
me by three brothers who live in this place, and
their testimony is fair specimen of all / have re-
ceved. w. 5. Conklin told me:
Il had taken nine bottles of Christie's Ague
Basam, and continually run down while using it
until my lungs and liver were Congested TO that
degree that blood discharged from my mouth and
bowels, so that all thought it impossible for me to
live through another chill. The doctors too did
all they could for me, but thought | must die
Nothing did me any good until got Rhodes Fee
yer and Ague Cure, which at once relieved me of
distress and nausea at my stomach and pain in
nv head and bowels, and produced permanent
cure in q short time"
Fl. NJ Conklin says: =" I had been taking med
icine of as good doctor as we have in our county
and taken any quantity of quinine and specifics
without any good result, from 25th Of August to
l7th OF December. But seeing how nicely ii ope-
rated on my brother, got bottle of Rhodes Fe-
yer and Ague Cure which effected a permanent
cure by using two-thirds of bottle"
). Nj. Concklin was not here but both the other
brothers say his case was the same as Ii. Ms
sold the medicine to both the same day, and the
cure was as speedy from the same small quantity,
and might SO certify. Yours with respect,
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself Good proof as it is.
it is Of no better tenor than the vast number of
certificates have already published, and the still
greater amount that is continually pouring in to
me. one thing more. Last year had occasion
to caution the public in these words:
notice one firm who hare taken one Of ay gener-
al circulars, substituting the name of their noStrun
for my medicine, and then NTH 6rdsen impudeace end
their pdmphlG 1cith the exclamation let the prop1fe-
tor OF any other medicine sag as much If he ddres
Now take pleasure in saying that the caution
referred to the same DR.. Christies Ague Balsamn
that is mentioned in the above certificate
There are several other industrious people who
apply to their poisonous trash all that publish
about my Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to
Malaria, except the certificates of cures and the
certificate Of the celebrated Chemist Dr. James
X. Chiffon, of N. Y, in favor of its perfectly
HARMLESS CHARACTER which is attached to
every bottle. These will always serve to distin-
guish my medicine from limitations

THE IssUE-THE DUTY OF THE
SOUTH.

What is the issue in the coming Presiden.
tial contest2
Has not that issue been made by the oppo
penis Of Democracy, conglomerating into one
mass, and narrowing the issue to single point
for contest2 Unquestionably such is the fact
A grand rally Of every ism, and Of all the
stragglers Of dismembered parties have been
and are being CLICKED together under the
wings Of the old Hen Of Abolitionism, alike to
degrade from equality Southern States and
Southern people, in violation Of constitutional
right, and to break down the Democratic party.
In contest upon this issue, the Democracy
OF the North have nothing at stake but the
welfare and the rights Of their Southern breth.
rem under the Constitution.
The contest will be exclusively at the North;
at the South there will be no fight, no division,
but the front of solid phalanx will be pre-
scented.
Our Northern Democratic friends will have
the severest struggle on record-tbey require
their undivided strength and the exercise Of
their best discretion and frmest resolution.
They know themselves best--they, and they
alone, can wisely select a leader, true to the
constitutional rights Of the South--of the whole
Union--who shall most surely lead them TO
victory. Any interference on the part Of the
South with the Northern Democratic States
in this matter can only be injurious. To our
mind, i it is passing strange how any South
ern State or Southern man can feel authorized
tointrude their personal partiaities forindividu-
ais, the only effect Of which can be to disturb
the counsels and harmony Of the Northern
Democracy. The zeal Of personal attachment,

EXACTLY so.

The Richmond Wing gives an immense list
Of distinguished men once in the Wing ranks,
now prominent in the Democratic ranks, and
finds great consolation in paradiug il forth as
a stigma upon the, Democratic party. Well,
we cannot retort upon the Wing similar show
Of Democrats in the ranks with the Wings; we
are blessed with few Of such causes Of consola
ton, and are quite resigned to our fate.
We will even 90 farther and quietly whisper
a confession in the ear Of the Wight is this,
the Democratic Party before long will exhibit
an enormously increased number Of Wings who
will be found in our ranks. 1t may give the
Wing further opportunity Of parade of names
once shining lights in the Wing Party, now
doing patriot service in the ranks OF the Democ.
racy. IL the Wing can find consolation in the
change, the Democratic Party can stand, with.
out hinching, the entrance into their ranks of
many more just such Wings as the Wing has
published. 1t is queer from what curious
sources some people can derive consolation.
"The Wing" is most truly welcome to the
pleasure il finds. If its list we're of Demo
Gratis gone over to the Wing line, we could I'm.
derstand the satisfaction Of the Wig; but its
rejoicing that the choicest spirits Of its party
have gone over to the Democracy, is passing
strange. We suppose, by a parity Of reason.
ing, that if the hundreds Of choice Wings who
have gone over give it joy that when the whole
Wing party shall have gone over, its ecstacy
will know No bnnnds

General Pierce and his paid associates, and to
aid us to free the Democracy from the odium
Of his Administration, which has done so much
to discredit us, and which has no power to aid
us? We say, again, that the Democracy is
weighed down with the fearful dishonor Of its
President, and he who unites with him will be
an object of suspicion and be credited with no
higher motive than that of attempting to ac-
compsh ends of personal ambition at the ex-
pense Of the party, at the imminent risk of its
overthrow
The evidences that the public sentiment Of
the party and of the country has settled upon
JAMES BUCHANAN as its candidate, are too
strong to be resisted. 1t is the voice of the
nation, which speaks in tones neither to be
misunderstood or disregarded; and if it is de-
feated by factious combinations, wo to the
men who, at such time, dare inaict upon the
party their mad schemes Of ambition, and
upon the country the deep curse of their man
agement.
Is there Democrat in either House Of Con-
gress who aspires to the distinction of the
Presidency of this great nation, and who would
be promoted only on the basis of a true, IN
biased public sentiment, that man should seek
the nomination of JAMES BUCHANAN? Is there
man who would promote the cause of De-
mocracy, regardless Of personal claims and OF
individual interests-who would sustain the
principles of the Federal Union at the most
critical period of our history, that man should
sustain JAMES BUCHANAN. He who would re-
store the Chief Magistracy of the nation to its
true dignity and its constitutional functions
who would redeem the State from the blight Of
ofticiA disbonor-who would repudiate and
condemn the doctrine that public morals is q
valueless Ingredient in government, should aid
the nomination Of JAMES BUCHANAN.
