in this respect any previous convention ever
held in Baltimore.

A President Pierce having
determined to visit bis home in New Hanp-
shire, public meeting of the citizens OF
Concord was held on Monday last 10 make
arrangements for his reception. About / )
600 persons we're in attendance 4 rcsolu-
ton declaring it s'inexpedient' to give him
public reception was adopted by vote
Of four to one. The reason assignei FOR
this rebuke, is their disapprobation Of the
President connection With tho Border Rath-
anism which has outraged the Freemeu Of
Kansas--a large number of whom are the
sous Of New England.

WILL BrcHANAI WiTnDRAwl-Thi
question may be solved before long, for the
democratic organs are beginning to discuss
it gravely. The Sunhury american, which
flies his rame at the masthead, refers to
the rumors that the South is making efforts
TO got him to decline in favor Of Nlr. Fill
more, who is to run for the Presidency on
the same ticket in connection with DIR.
Breckenridge, the democratic nominee for
Vice President, and that Mr.. Breckinridge
ha1 visited Mr. Buchanan for that purpose,
though it puts no faith in the report, says:
There is no question bnt tho South feels
very uneasy in the present state Of Affairs.
Tie truth is, purity distinctions are fast be-
ing swallowed up By that all absorbing sub
ject, the slavery question. Fhe South IS,
unanimous fer Buchanan, while the Western
aud the Eastern and Middle States, with
few exceptions are almost as unanimous for
Fillmore and Fremont. This is truly a
strange state of affairs aud much TO be re-
grettod. Any one at all conyersant with
our political affairs, must have seen long
since, that such would be the result. The
crisis has, no doubt, been FASTENED On BY
the ill-timed action of President Pierce
JUICE Douglas aud others, in regard to the
Missouri Compromise and the Kansas Ne
hraska bill.

LOCO FoCOISM
GASPING FOR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
RIDGE ON THE STUMP.

Major Breckenridge, the Loco Foeo ran-
didate for Vice Presidency, has started up
on personal canvass and has opened it by
speech at Cincinnati, on the night of the
1st inst. Thence lc went to Indiana, Mi
olligan, Illinois, where appointments we're
already made for him Now he Is in our
own city. Aud thus, for the FIRST time in
our history, We hare candidate upon the
presidential ticket, setting out upon a
stump-speaking tour, as desperate resort
to retrieve the desperate fortunes Of his
party.
The cause Of all this is stated 10 the
Louisville Jonrn&,:
A highly respectable gentleman of this
city, just returned from Washington, u-
forms US that lie vas told by some cf the
leading Democrats in Washington that they
had abandoned all hope Of success in New
York aud even in PENNSYLVANIA, and had no
expectations Of being able to carry single
Northern State, unless John c. Sreckin-
ridge, their candidate for Vice Presidency,
conld save Indiana or Illinois by making
stump speeches throughout these States
Acco-dinly we End Mr.. Breckinrilge.
accepting invitations to address mass meet
ings in Indiana and Illinois. What me-
lancholy spectical. \ party reduced TO
the pirch Of depreciation and despair. 1t
is unparalleled in the annals CT our politi-
cal history. A candidate for the Vice
Presidency, the second highest office in the
gift of this great nation, compelled TO AXE
the stump as the last resort in the death
struggle of bis party. This last resort will
be unavailing. This simple fac; of Itself
will be sufficient to make honest people eve
ry where forget the persuasive eloInence
and ingenious arguments Of the Sag Nicht
candidate for tile Wee Presidency in their
deep disgust for the dcsraiation to which
candidate for the Vice Presidency has thus
been subjected by his party.

aond County, North Carolina
PINE HILL, March A. 1854.
DEAR Sir: have been subject of Dyspepsia in
its worst form; for the last five years Such was my
condition for twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said must die While in this oon-
dton, was carried to the watering places in Vir-
gnia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, but was not
benefited by any water to which was taken. While
on my way home, stopped week at Rutherfordton,
small village in North Carolina, to try the effect Of
some Chalyb ate water in that place About the last
of the week went into drug store to get some med
icine for my child and myself There were several
of the village physicians in the store, and of them
seemed to take some interest in my case and after
asking me some questions said he had been dys-
peptic and had been greatly benefited by the use of
" Hoofand's German Bitters prepared by yeu and
he insisted that would try the Bitters. He also
called the next day at my room, and insisted much
that would try them that asked him to get me
one bottle. He did it, and commenced taking it as
directed and was benefited by it than all the
water and medicine had ever taken
After reaching home, one of my neighbors came III
for prescription and medicine, Che dyspeptic)
aud gave him nearly all the Bitters had left which
effected much good in his He has often called
on me for more of the same kind of medicine saving
he was more benefited by it than any other he had
taken, but have not been able to get any more for
him or nnys. since Will you, therefore, please ship

DEAR Sin: Allow me to express to you my sincere
thanks for your discovery of medicine which, to say
the least of it, has effected that all other med
icines that have taken have entirely failed to do
Hooands German Bitters have cured me of the most
stubborn and aggravated case of the Piles that per-
haps ever fell to the lot of man. My case is not
stranger in this community, as am well known in
this and the surrounding countless and can truly say
that my recovery has astounded all my friends and
relations, as l had tried everything recommended
and nothing did me any good, until was prevailed
upon to try the Bitters. You at liberty to make
any of this communication for the beI eft of the
afflicted, you may think proper.
