all that has transpired, in reference to the

the unfortunate results the late Conven-

in that Convention, we advanced nothing
on our own authority. 1t is with effects
not causes-that we have properly to deal;
and having stated the fact that discomfort
extensively prevails, and having stated
some Of the reasons for that dscontent, as
explained to us, the question arises, wheth-
er it is better to risk an increased irrita-
! ton, by discussion, 0rto try to calm the
troubled waters. We deemed it our duty
to the party, throughout the District, to
publish that which has been laid before
our readers, not merely because it was a
true expose ofthe state of feeling here, but
because the danger of defeat which threat
ems the party, may be met with better
chance of success after full warning Of

The question though startling is sufi-

into consideration that diseases ofthe Liver
have become most alarminSiy frequent in
the United States Indeed, there are few
formidable diseases that are not in some
way traceable to a deranged state of that
important organs Many:of the complaints
usually classed under the head Of Consum :

remedy that would insure regularity and
healthful action in the Liver, would be a

found it is safe and sure When fair

parties themselves dare not offer q defence much
less commend them to public favor; but does this
constitute why they should not be discussed
and urged against those who, thus contaminated,
still seeking by other appliances to fOist them
selves into poWeri In candor let men of all parties

Though Mr.. Hatton were elected ten times Gov
ernOr, and our Know Nothing friends should carry
every member of the Legislature, it could not pos
sibly effect Distribution but such result would
bring into practical application ALL that IS en-
braced in the oaths and obligations BY which the
members of this order are trammelled. With what
truth then can it be said that Distribution Is para
mount to Know Nothingism as an issue in this can
yass? Who will say that Mr. Hatton's views in
favor of dividing the public lands are Of more con-
sequence to the people than his principles as en-
braced in the oaths and obligations which he took,
and to which he adheres with tenacity well worthy
Of better cause When Distribution is over
whelmed, as overwhelmed it will be, the ocean of
politics may experience ripple, like unto the fall
ing of pebble; but let Know Nothingism once OBJ
tain the seeptre of power and become the control
ing element in the State and who calculate the
storms that would ensue-the wrecks it might pro-
duce--and the blghting effect it might entail upon
political and social affairs for years and years to

The fimsy pretext of Distribution is the beggarly
covering beneath which an effort has been made to
conceal this efets Know NOthingism. Gen. Harris
and ourselves have devoted much time in the canvass
to exposing the fraud; but never once with the
thought of giving to Distribution importance
paramount to the political monstrosity for which it
was intended as a mere protection.
