DEAR SIR IL have not had one single fit since
commenced taking your medicines; am also gain
ing strength every day. The trouble that had
which was the cause OF the fits, is also leaving me
rety fast In fact, think am entirely WE'LL but
{ you think it best, will take medicines short
me longer. 1t is only about two months since /
commenced taking your prescriptions, and although
you told me would take from three TO four months
yet feel well already. feel sorry that did not
visit you at first and not allow myself TO be led
away by the vain boasting of those quacks that copy
your style of business, and thereby impose upon
the public. They despoiled me of my money, and
if had not stopped taking their vile stuff, they
would have robbed me of my life also. Thanks tc
your superior medical skill, l am beyond danger
and shall always consider you the savior of my life
| Dear Dr.-Publsh this If you consider it worth
your while, for wish to proclaim to the world youi
worth, that every one who needs physician may
know where to call, and be sure Of avoiding decei
and imposition.

DR.. L. J. CZAPKAY-Dear Sir--I very much regret
that had not called upon you sooner, for | had
been suffering many months, during which time
passed miserable existence. When called upon
you few weeks since | had but little hope Of be-
ing so speedily recovered. Icannot depict the sui-
fering of mind which endured, whilst my bodily
iniirmitcs made me burthen TO my friends. The
confusion in my brain, timdty, the nervousness,
when would get the least excited or alarmed, the
love of solitude. the want of appetite and weak
ness generally, but particularly of my limbs, have
all disappeared, as have the nocturnal emissions,
and the remains Of an old disease that my folly
had bro't on me. For all this feel truly thank
ful, for to your medicines and advice am indebted
for the restoration of my health If you think any
one would be benefited by putting this letter in
the papers, you are at liberty to do so. Believe
me ever gratefully yours. A. LORlNG.

vote for man who is proclaiming over the
District that Fillmore will not carry State
in the Union Not satisfied with abusing the
American party, he is now engaged in rldlcul-
ing and sneering at it, and seeking to discour-
age Fillmore men from further efforts towards
electing him. What are all good Fillmore
men now doing? Are they not laboring to
make Fillmore votes ?--to inspire confidence
in the hearts of those who doubt ?-to awak
en- that spirit which will extend the great in
fuence and make US every day more and
more co-laborers in the cause of Fillmore and
the country? And is not Lockhart working
directly against all our efforts when he speaks
as reported above Yet Fillmore men are
asked to support him! Good Heavens, how
can any Fillmore man remain quiet, and not
stretch out his arm to crush the enemy Is
any man Fillmore man who will directly or
indirectly help elevate this vile slanderer of
the American party, and vile enemy of Fill
more, to place and power?

ILLINOIS WAKING UP.-The friends of Fill

they will never support any man who is the
candidate of a sectional party and say:
Believing that the election of James Bu-
chanan would be the triumph of men and
measures dangerous to this Republic, and
knowing that the election of Fremont could
be nothing short of a fire. brand, that must re-
suit in the overthrow of this glorious fabric,
reared by our noble ancestors, and as we would
much deplore such triumph, we will leave
no fair means untried to elect the expounder
of the Constitution and defender of the whole
Confederacy, Willard Fillmore.

0FThe editor of the Washington Telegraph
thus gives his opinion of Judge Lockhart, af-
ter hearing him speak:
Thus ended Judge Lockhart's speech on the
18th inst We had never heard him before,
and were taken very much by surprise-not
because Of the talent which he displayed, but
because we had no idea that he was so great
an ignoramus-so perfect a numskull. He is
man of no education no original tact or talent;
nor does he appear to possess good common
sense; and to hear him talk five minutes any
person must own that he is entirely void of
anything like decency. He is a weak vessel,
so much so that his party have no confidence
lin him. If they had confidence in him why
did they make up money to pay Lard oil
Robinson to go around the district and make
speeches for him. Shame on party that will
attempt to send such a fool to Washington to
become pillar in the very foundation of the
government. What does he know about gov
eminent matters? If we may judge from his
speech we will venture to say that scarcely a
ten year old boy can be found in the country
who does not know equally as much If
Veatch is the tenth part as great a blockhead
as Lockhart, we will take his name from our
paper forthwith, as soon as we hear him speak
We hope the people of this district will think
what they are doing in this campaign. We
have been disgraced enough of late, therefore
for pride's sake do not send up a man who
will make the stain deeper. A fool has no
policy of his own, but may be used as a tool in
the hands of dishonest demagogues. If the
people Of this district wish to furnish these
demagogues with such tool free of charge,
Lockhart is the man. If they do not they
must send some other person. We do not ex-
pect to see man of our politics go up, but
for Gods sake let us elect some man who has
at least common sense and decencY.

CeFBefore the Democrats presume to ask
or expect any human being to have the least
respect in the world for any platform they may
put forth, let them answer the two questions
we have so often put to them without being
able to elicit any reply. First, did not the
Democratic party in their National Conven-
ton of 1852, solemnly pledge themselves never
to give the least countenance to the agitation
of slavery under any circumstances Second>
ly did any human being think or dream in the
following year that the Missouri Compromise
could be repealed by Congress without the
agitation of slavery? If any Democratic or
gan will answer these questions the anwer
will no doubt meet with due consideration.

Viii ards Inconsistency

In view of Mr.. Wizards present opinions in
relation to slavery extension, &c, we will give
a little sketch from the history Of his past
On the 9Th of January, 1910, the Democracy
of this State assembled at indianapolis. Mr..
Willard was a delegate from Floyd county
With Mr.. Kent he bore to the convention a
series of resolutions, which were adopted as
the basis Of the platform. On the subject OIL
slavery in the territories the following resolu-
tons were adopted ananimously;
ResolUecl, That the institution Of slavery
ought not to be introduced into any territory a0]tere
1t does not n0,0 eriSt.
Resozved, That inasmuch as New Mexico
and California are in fact and in law free terri
tory, it is the duty of Congress to prevent the
introduction of slavery within their limits..''
This was the Democratic platform then and
just precisely what Willard supported. This
platform and Willard declared that slavery
ought not to be introduced into any territory
where it does not exist" His views are now
those of the Pierce administration. He en-
dorses the action Of tina administration in
opening free territory to slavery. He is call
ing all men who advocate the principles he so
lately espoused-abolitlonist This is but
one illustration Of Wizards gross inconsistent
icy. These inconsistencies prove him the
weathercock demagogue, changed and change
able by every public breeze

GFWe take pleasure in correcting an error
we gave publicity to in the account we last
week gave of the ARRAY that occurred at West
Franklin on the 31st uIt We stated that
Sheriff Mills pursued Ross to Carmi, but was
prevented by the citizens of that place from
arresting him. In this we were misinformed.
We have it from the Sheriff himself that he
did not go to Carmi, and consequently could
dot have been interered with by its citizens in
the manner stated. We are further informed
by resident of Carmi, that no legal demand
was made upon the citizens of that place for
the arrest or delivery of Ross; if such demand
had been made, he being assured that it would
have beenpromptly compile with
Mt. Vernon Adv.
We copy the above in justice to the citizens
of Carmi, although it conflicts materially with
statements made to u.s.

say that Mr.. Fillmore is only in the way Of
Buchanan, and that if he were out Of the way,
Buchanan would be elected, the Northern men
say precisely the same thing of him in regard
to Fremont-that if Fillmore were out Of the
way, they could elect Fremont! The truth
is he is in the way of both of them, and, being
a candidate, neither Of them can be elected
