Bg~The following is from letter of the
Hon. Mr., Keitt, ofSouth Carolina, to the
Richmond Examiner. We republish it
for no other purpose than to let our read
sec what are the STANCES of Democratic
harmony:
The truth Is, tie South has been betrayed
and sacrificed u, euery struggle, byportioRs Of
the National Democratic party, as weH as by
other parties. IbeIieoe aiOiU be so ia he ,Ju-
ture also. Many soho hare betrayed her are
aoto IN full communion ioith The party, and
do not believe they hare repented,
The members of the Democratic party,
then, have not always chung to the Cousti-
tuition as we understand it, and if We un.
derstand it very differently We cannot be-
long TO the same party.
We must not omit to add that Mr., Keitt
closes his letter with the expression Of tbs
belief that the great National pemccrato'
party will be lefsatcd in 1850

GOOD ADVICE TO BRUTUS AND

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, tn at we are underlings
When we consider that chance is pre-
scented to the reader, which Brutus never
had, it is strange if he should decline to
become the "master Of his fate" Swan &
Co., with their popular Georgia Lotteries,
come once in every week, on Saturday, at
Augusta, Georgia, to allow the adventu-
rers, chance to get easy for life. Many
have availed themselves of these opportu-
mites, and now bask in the sunshine of
prosperity, An investment of $40 books
one for splendid fortune; So for an ele-
CANT competency; and $3.50 for a comfort
able start in life. The chances do not de-
pend on the operations of the "Bulls"
end the "Bears" The stock does not
fuetuate; the chances are always the same;
and large sums are drawn out every week,
by those who never saw large sums before
Why, then, continue to be an "underlingT

LIVER COMPLAINT.

Rd- This dangerous and often fatal dis
ease had long bafled the skill of the most
eminent physicians, when the discovery of
DR.. MLdne's Liuer Pills solved the diff
Guilty, and presented to the world the Great
Specific, which has attained such wide
spread celebrity for it's certainty of cure.
This successful remedy was the result of
many years study, in which the symptoms
were narrowly observed, and are thus des-
cribed by the Doctor himself:
"Symptomss of Diseased Liver.-Pain
in the right side, and sometimes in the
left, under the edge of the ribs--the patient
being rarely able to lie on the left; pain
sometimes under the shoulder blade, fire.
quently extending to the top of the shoulder
often mistaken for rheumatism in the
arm; sickness of stomach, and loss of ap-
petite; bowels mostly costive, but sometimes
alternate with lax; dull, heavy sensation
in the back part of the head; loss of mem
DRY, with uneasiness Of having neglected
something; sometimes dry cough; weari-
ness and debility; nervous irritability; feet
cold or burning, and prickly sensation Of
skin; low spirits, lassitude, with disinclina-
ton to exercise, although satisfied it would
be beneficial. In fact, patient distrusts
every remedy"
Have you any, or all of these symptomsf
If so, you will find certain remedy in

RS Mr. Keitt, of s. Carolina, in late
speech at the White Sulphur Springs, Va,
took an oath that he and his friends will
"exterminate the national Democracy, and
the Administration. We say, in Eng
lish, as father Richie used to say, in
French, "we shall see." A long and init
mate acquaintance with locofocos, of al
most every hue, has taught US great dis
trust of everything they promise to do,
and perfect confidence that they will do
wrong, promise, or no promise, and there
fore we incline to set down all such hostile
manifestations at the family board as one
half buster, and the other too. Disap-
pointment, or fit of pouting frequently
evokes such demonstrations; but tighten
ing of the rein and an application of the
party lash, usually quicts the most FESTIVE
of the team, and they pull with steadi-
ness not to have been expected from the
rearing and plunging which preceded the
order "to CO." Keitt is mettIesome, but
not unsubduable.

nA- The following, from the the Pro,i-
dence Journal, is certainly correct. tap
plies more forcibly to Europe than to this
country:
The decline in sugar seems to be caused
by real diminution of the consumption.
The stock was short, and had the con-
sumption held on, the high price would
have been maintained 1t has fallen q
considerable extent, go without it rather
than pay for it. 1t will be so with cotton.
The law is universal. The process is
slower in the case of cotton, because there
are large investments that demand the raw
material, and for a time without reference
to the consumption of the manufactured
article. The manufacturers by their pol
icy and practice, keep up the price of cot
ton. But when they cannot get back a
new dollar for an old one except by selling
their goods. at such price as repels the
purchaser, then the same operation VIII Gu
had brought down sugar will commence up
on cotton.
The people will not pay more than a
certain price for cotton goods, and cotton
must be sold at such prices as will enable
the manufacturers to supply their goods
within the limits that the consumers i'm
pose. When they cannot do this, the mills
necessarily must stop, and then cotton
going through the same process that cot
ton goods have suffered, falls by the op
Grafton of the same laws.

THE U. s. SENATORS.

Some American papers take the posi-
ton, that it Is the duty of the American
members of the Legislature to nominate
their own man, and vote for him, if only
as a compliment There are two sides to this
question The course suggested, can re-
suit in no manner of good, and no Amer;-
can, worthy of seat in the Senate, can
eovet such vote, as a mere compliment.
Though in minority, our party has a
duty to perform, to the State and the
Union, and a portion of that duty is to
strive for the choice of the least objection
able man whom the locofocos may offer
Next to the election Of a true-hearted
American, they should, in our opinion
direct their efforts to the defeat of the
meanest locofoco, who is sure to be the
choice of majority of his party. There
is not only nothing wrong in this course
but it is eminently proper; and we are
always to blame when we suffer the greater
evil, with power to choose the lesser.
Were there a possibility of electing al
American, no effort should be spared for
the contamination of such purpose; blu
without a hope, is fright that the American
members should throw away their power
and quietly suffer locofocoism 10 impos
its worst specimen of the genus, demago
que, upon the country Were we mem
Der, such would not be our course, and
we could influence the result, the mos
decent locofoco we could find should b
the senator, both for the honor and th
interests Of the State. This is, however
an open question, and we give our opinio
with no view combat that of others, or t
influence the action of any one.
