condition for twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said must die While in this con-
dtion, was carried to the watering places in Vir-
ginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina but was not
benefited BY any water to which was taken. While
on my way'homs, Istopped week at Rutherfordton,
small village in North Carolina TO try the effect Of
some Chalybeate water In that place. About the Last
Of the week went into drug store to get med
icine for my child and myself There were several
of the village physicians in the store and of them
seened to take some interest in my case and after
asking me some questions, said he had been dys-
pepc, and had been greatly benefited by the use of
aHoohands German Bitters," prepared by you, and
he insisted that would try the Bitters. He also
called the next day at my ROOM and insisted 80 much
that would try them that asked him to get me
one bottle He did ii, and commenced taking it
directed and benefited by il than all the
water and medicine had ever taken
After reaching home one Of my neighbors came to

and gave him nearly all the Btters had left which
effected much good in his case He has often called
on me for more Of the kind of medicine saying
he was more benefited by 1t than any other he had
taken, but have not been able TO get any for
him or myself since. Will you therefore, please ship
me dozen or more as soon as possible.

WHEELING Va, Aug. 10th, 1856.

To the Editor of the Belmont CHI onicLe:
The Republican Association met last
night at the Melodeon. Two or three hum
dred persons were present. Letters were
read from different parts of the state. One
from the Southern part stated. that the man
written to did not reside in the county, that
many sympathized with the Republica ns,
but dare not express it, he wished them sue
cess. but would no: give his name for fear it
would be made public, and he might be Serv.
ed like Mr. Underwood. A letter was read
from Mr.. Underwood wishing them success.
Isiab~Goeper made a lew remarks, showing
what effect slavery has had in Virginia. SAT
the adoption of tie Constitution, Virginia
had nineteen Representatives in Congress
and New York but ten, now New York has
thirty five and Virginia but fifteen; had it
not been for slavery Virginia would now be
represented as largely in Congress as New
York"
Speeches were made by DR.. Smith and
Mr.. Limins, on the principles OF the Re-
publican party. During part of the first
speech the hail was very quiet, but crowd
sf boys, and many that no doubt think them
selves gentlemen, | am sorry to say. was in
that crowd, with the boys, came in, planted
themselves in the part Of the Hall near
the door, and interrupted :he speaker, by
crying out, Woody Hursen put him down!'
stake him outr etc. Mr. Cooper requested
them 10 be quiet, telling them the Hall was
rented to hold a Fremont meeting, and they
did not wish to be disturbed, if they did not
like the speaking, they had liberty to leave.
This the interiopers received with groans.
Although the speakers were mild, and said
not word that could offend any one In their
rghl senses, after this, they we're almost
continually interrupted by, put him down!

arA correspondent Of the N. Y. C1urisr

6TA correspondent Of the N. Y. C1urtsr
and Enquirer, writing from Orange County
North Carolina, says
Ii NAV be that Fremont will not have a
ticket run in this State, but it is not because
a large part Of the people do not wish that
he should be elected. 1t would be some
what difficult to organize for the contest in
svch a wsv as to insure success, for most OF
the newspapers are in the service Of the old
politicians, and. could not be made aware of
theapopular will in the course of few
months. Besides, many regard the election
of Fremont as certain, expecting, as they
do. that he will receive the vote of the entire
North. One of the most inexplicable things
to ms is, that there should be show OF ep-
uosition to him. OF course we know the
evils of Slavery better than you do, but still
YOU cannot be altogether igLorant on that
subject, after the occurrences of last year.
If it were
left to the majority of the people of Eor'h
Carolina to say whether they shall be sa-
very or freedom in Kansas, they sould say
TO-DAY, what the great Southern statesman
of the Revolution enacted for the Northwest
Territory:-There shall be neither slauerp'
nor irroluntary seruitude IN the said Terri
torn, otherwise than in the punishment o
crimes, ,Oiereof the party shall haze been daLJ,
convicted"

Republican Meeting in Somerton
To the Editor of The Belmont Chronicle:

To the Editor of the Belmont Chronicle:
Pursuant to notice Republican meeting
was held in Somerton on Saturday, the 9th
inst, and an address delivered by NATHAN
HoLLIsrEK, Esq, of Woodsfeld. JoHN
SrARBUcK acted as Chairman of the meet
ing. He has heretofore been an Old Line
Whig, but in these latter days, when old
things have passed away and all things be-
come new, he cannot be made to belle, e
that subserviency to the Slave Power and
Whiggery are identical. He belongs to the
school OF Clay and Webster. All hail to
such men!
Although no great parade of the meeting
was made, no flaming bills posted up with
"Grand Rally" at the head, our citizens
turned out bravely, and but few less than
two hundred persons were present, evidently
deeply interested in the issues of the cam
paign-the enthusiasm not venting itself in
noise and buster, but apparently being of
heartfelt, earnest character, kind that says
little and performs much. The address was
calm, clear and srgumentative, giving his
tory of the policies of the parties heretofore,
the growth in both the old parties of the
anti-Savery sentipent, and the attempt TO
crush 1.-THE wrongs Of kanzas, and the
duties of the present 1t had telling effect
upon those of the opposing parties who are
not blinded by party spirit and have wish
to place the free laborers OF the North and
South in the right position, position die
iated alike by Justice, Humanity and their
o,cn interests. They feel the deadly antag-
onism between free labor and slave labor.
and that every encroachment upon our Ter
rilory bv the Slave Oigarchy is fresh out
rage upon the dignity OF Free Labor, an in
crease of the now heavy burden which
presses with crushing weight upon the hardy
yeomanry of our land; they will not bind
the manacles upon their own limbs, and are
resolved that Teombs shall not call the roll
of his slaves on Bunker Hill.
At the close OF the meeting, but after one
half of the audience had left, proposition
was made to enrol names as members OF a
Fremont Club. The proposition was heart
ily received, and IN few minutes fifty names
attested their faith in Free Soil, Free
Speech. Free Kanzas and FREMONT Among
these are persons who, not one week before,
had BEN counted as staunch Buchaniers and
Fillmoretes, but they neither believe that
Cuba should be wrested By force from Spain,
to prevent the emancipation of her slaves,
or that the Union should be dissolved be-
cause, perchance, two Northern men should
preside over the Nation. Seeing the right,
they dare the right pursue. A committee
was appointed to draft Constitution and
resolutions for the Club, the time for a
meeting appointed, when an adjournment
took place.
So beats the public heart; the people are
enthusiastic. There is a spirit abroad in
the land, which is not the Spirit cf Dem
ocracu, The hour and the man have come,
despite the lop mean artyfcss of few cleo
tioneering politicians, whose only arguments
have their foundations in falsehoods.
Yours, SoMERroN.

The VoIcI OF HENRY CLAT.--Wtile
the organs of the Border Ruffian Democracy
are Boosting over the accession of"old line"
Henry Clay Wings to the ranks of the sla-
very prcpagandists, let US see what we're the
sentiments of that great patriot upon the
extension of slavery. In 1850 his language
was:
"But you caunot put your finger upon any
mart oe the Constitution which conveys the
right or the power to carry slaves from one
of the States Of the Onion to any Territory
of the United States. Nor, sir, can admit
for a single moment, that there is aay sepa'
rate or distinct right upon the part of the
States or individual members of the States
or any portion of the people of the United
States. to carry slaves into Territories, unde
the idea that those Territories are held IL
common between the several States"

IOWA ELECTION

The Cleveland Herald of yesterday, says.
The majorities for the Republican ticket in
Iowa are hot all in, but sufficient is known
to render certain the tact that great tri-
umph has been achieved in favor of Freedom.
The Locofocos with characteristic assurance
claim the reelection of Hall (Nigger Dri-
ver) in the lst Congressional District, but
the case stands thus. as we gain from the
latest information. All the counties in the
Ist District, except ten small ones, have
been heard from, and Curtiss (Republican)
leads Hall $3.50 votes. The ten counties
not heard from gave 3Sl Locofoco majority
