the sombreness of autumn chastened glo-
ries of the summer that is ended-when
q healthsome balm is in the air, when the
moon shines down witchingly in the long

G8N Listen, We Dyspeptics.-GO
and do Like wise. PerlManent Cure

The Rev. James Hunnicutt, proprietor aad
editor of that excellent paper, the Christian
Banner, published at Fredericksburg, Va.
in his editorial of June 5th, 1857, thus speak,
of his cure:
HAMPTON'S VEGETABLE TINCTURE.
1t will remembered by many of our readers,
that several years ago we stated in the edi-
torial columns of the Christian Banner, that
HAMPToN's VEGETABLE TINCrURE had effected
cure for Dyspepsia in our own case-that
we had labored long with this terrible dis
ease, and suffered most awfully, the pain and
melancholy which necessarily Accompanies
this horrible enemy of man and mans hap
piness. For long time we lived in constant
fear that the fell monster would return
But, thank God, and thanks to nampton's
Tincture, the gloomy demon has not vet re-
turned, and we begin to think he never will.
We now feel confident in saying that Hamp-
tons Vegetable Ilncture has made radical
cure ofDyspepsia in our own case. We have
not taken a drop of it for the last two years,
to the best of our recollection. We eat what
we please, and as much as we please and chew
tobacco to our hearts content. and all is well
We believe that twelve bottles, iudiciously
taken, will cure nine cases ont of every ten Of
dyspeptics. We conscientiously recommend
it to all dyspeptics. The spring time and
summer it is most recommended, therefore
as philanthroplst, we call attention to it

COnsOIs.

This term appears quite frequently in
the newspapers, although it is probably
only vaguely understood The following
is an extract from paper on the Consol-
idated Fund OF Great Britain and Ireland,
to which the word Consols used in fnan-
cial circles has reference, which we find in
Brahde's Encyclopedia:
Down to 1916, the exchequers of Grea
Britain and Ireland Were kept separate,
certain portions Of the public revenue
arising in each kingdom being especially
appropriated to the discharge OF the ill.,
terest on its own debts, and other peculiar
purposes. But, on January 9Th, 1916,
the separate exchequers were consolidated
into one and an act was at the same time
passed consolidating certain portions Of
the joint revenue of Great Britain and Ire
land into one fund, hence called the Con-
solidated Fund, and providing for its in
discriminate application to the payment
of the public debts, civil lists, and other
specified expenses of both kingdoms
Some portions Of revenue are not included
in this fund, but it embraces by far the
largest part of the public income

Thanksgiving in the following manner,
which is more remarkable for a business
like than religious spirit; Since I
have been in Office I have each year, as
Governor of the State, without any autoh-

custom, appointed a day of Thanksgiving.
Thursday, the nineteenth day Of this

ASHAMED SO SOON.

In our most sanguine moments, two years ago,
when predicting the final overthrow of Know Moth
ingism, we allowed more than two years to elapse
before the members of the Society would shrink in
shame from the charge of afiGating with it. And
yet, what d. we now see! Where is the candidate
of our opponents who argues, as an issue of this
canvass, a single principle of the Know Nothngism
of l655,-whO does not apolgzefor having taken the
Oaths If proof he made that he took them or who
if he fortunately escaped the taking of them, does
not publicly parade the fact a boast aud pride
II took the great National Democracy about as many
years to overthrow any Of its previous antagonists
as months TO crush out Know Nottingham
aud Know Nolhugism, of all the opponents
of Democracy, lived SO infamous life and
died so infamous a death, that even those who
hate Democracy the worst exult and claim it as
merit that even their hatred Of sworn enemy could
not lead them to breathe the pcstferous atmosphere
of those cutters and sewers where Know Nothing
ism for a brief space held high carnival.
We use the lesson as q warning to the young, who
are about entering the stage Of manhood, and who
will cast their first in this election. Let them
read the history Of the Democratic party, from the
day when it first triumphed in the election of THoM-
AS JEFFERSON, and they will see that it is the only
party which has fought steadily for the rights of
the masses, the only party which has shown itself
capable of administering the Government, the only
party which can outliye a single generation
Let the young men of the State start right in this
election, and not, by one misstep lay up a source
of reproach which may blast every political aspira-
ton of their lives.

TIE ONLY DANGER.

All our information leads TO the belief that the
majority for Gen. HARRIS will exceed that which
we gave Mr.. BUCHsNAE last fall prorided there is as
full a vote But as the towns are nearly all Know
Nothing, and the organization of the Know
Nothings as laid down in their ritual is calculated
to secure full vote, there is great danger that,
should the vote fall of, the Democratic candidates
will lose more than equal proportion of the de-
fciency. The public mind is made up in favor on
the issues Of the canvass All that is wanting is to
secure the fair and full expression of that opinion
We tell our friends on authority, which has always
proved reliable that we have the State by the lsrg
est majority which has been cast for any candidate
since $780, u ue uote. But apathy may lose us votes
enough to reduce this majOrity-to only few thou
sand votes.
We ask the working men of the party in all the
counties Of the State to bear this fact in mind
We have within grasp the most brilliant victory
Of our generation, and the most fruitful of good
SIS utterly eItcrminating Know NOthingism. 1t is
worth an active and earnest effort from this until
the polls are closed secure it. Let US work as we
did last fall and may then repose until the genius
of federalism inyeRls some new scheme of decep-
tiOu and fraud.

Mr. EDTToK ;--1f you ever while school boy got
s~fnlly licked" you can understand a great deal
better than can describe how the Know Nothines
about this burg feel just at this time For the fact
is, man named Robert Hstton, called ''Bob " for
short, got the "nost al,fredsst whalin'" here to-
day, that you ever hearn tsll of. Why SIR, the az
Sui Lovegood wss In after he got his 'starched
shirt" taken of, warnt the least bit uncomfortable
when compared with "Bob Hatten's. after Gen.
Harris took his starched shirt of.
Col Hatton led of In, 1 should judge, from the
manner in which It was delivered, about the same
speech that be has made everywhere else in the
canvass He was stranger here-all knew him
only by the newspaper reports. They made him
out something EXTRA Httls above natural But we
know him now for what he is, and all parties think
and not few saying in reference to those afore
said reports" Lord how this world is given to lys
ing" l am by no means disposed to disparage
Col Hatton-he has never done me or my party any
injury, nor do believe he ever will. He is so far
as know very clever man, and l shouli Judge
was tolerable good county politician, beyond this
he does not place himself in my estimation, and
have heard quite number expressing the same
opinion Of him.
Gen. Harris we all kneW-we had fresh in our
minds the glorious victory which he achieved here
last summer over Ex-Gov. Neill s. Brown, I" foe
man worthy of his STEEL" and entertained not
shadow Of doubt to the result of to days discus
sion. We expected him to use Hatton up badly,
but We had not the remOtest suspicion that he was
going to give him terrible and merciless skin
ming as he inflicted on him. Yet terrible and de-
strucive his exposition, it was made in such
perfect good spirit the bearing of the speaker was
noble, free from the least coarseness of manner
or i-feeling, that ii him the respect Of those
even upon whom he was making it.
In short, the speech of Gen. Harris to-day was
one of the most mastery efforts ever made here
Indeed. cannot conceive of any point in which
it could be improved. He said just the things we
wanted, and just in the manner we wanted, and we
are perfectly delighted.
expect if Hatton lives through this campaign,
and survives the overwhelming defeat in store for
him, that he will be about in Salts humor with Gen.
H. and Democracy; or, rather, he will feel about
like SUITS daddy did after acting ''hoss."
