TESTIMONY from NORTH CAROLINA.

Certifcdte of DR.. w. Smith, of Pine Hi, Rich
mosd County, North Carolina.
PINE HILL, March 4, 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 con-
diton, 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 home, stopped week at Ruthertordton,
small village in North Carolina to try the effect of
some Chalybeate water in that place. About the last
of the week wentnto drug store to get some med
cine 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 a dys-
peptic and had been greatly benefited by the of
hHoofand'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 more benefited by it than all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home, one of my neighbours came to
me for prescription and medicine, Che dyspeptic)
and gave him nearly all the Bitters had left which
effected much good in his case He has often called
on me for of the vr.e kind of medicine, saying
he was more benefited by it than any other he had
taken but have not been able to get any more for
him or myself since. Will you therefore, please ship
me dozen or more as soon ss possible.
Respectfully, yours, w. SMITH.

ait has been wisely said that what has
been gsined by one revolution may be lost 5y
anDther' If this is not an axiom, it is at least
a part of history. Our government has no
assurance that it lives beyond the reach Of this
contingency.
1.-The existence of our government depends
upon popular opinion. 1t was that that brought
US into life, and we are living by this uncer
tain tenure. We have constantly before US,
in the administration of the government, the
diversity Of popular sentiment and its infam
matory influence. We know how this has in
creased in intensity and recklessness as we
have grown in size, with new elements of dis
cord and their solvents. What was thought
treason in the days Of Washington is now
thought by many to be a virtue and a neces
sity. This is our danger. When popular vir
tue and love of country lose their potency, We
lose the restraining influences and incentives
that regulate and give n safe direction to
opinion and power. Corrupt that opinion by
any agency, and we are afoat upon a vast sea
OF uncertainty and danger"
The lHtsLlfgeHeer repels the idea that the
dissolution Of the Union is one Of the issues
depending on the result OF approaching cleo
ton as too mOnstrcus for grave argument, and
as indeed hardly worthy of being treated Sc
riously. The LnteLl,gencer says:
" To make the existence of the government
dependent upon the result of a regular Peri
odical election, would be reducing our insti-
tutions to the level and precarious tenure of a
Mexican or Bueros Ayrean pronunciamento.
But the men who laid the foundations of the
Constitution, and of the Union which rests
upon 1T, knew what they were about, and laid
them too deep to be shaken or subverted by
any tempest Of party passion CT transient ex-
cllement. This glorious Union has stood firm
during sixty years, and with the blessing of
Heaven, Il will stand firm sixty years longer.
