coed in obtaining all the K. N. votes. Several Of

to be seen. The last Elizabeth City Sentinel says:
Mr. McRAE IN THE FIELD.-By the last Raleigh

publicly in letter announced himself as candidate
for the Office of Governor We are sorry to havep
differ from some OF our warm personal and political
friends in the support of Mr.. McRae We have
heretcfo given at length our reasons for not sup
porting him. We have nothing to take back Be.
lievng our position public Journalist, upholdng
party that is antagonstic to what is termed Demo
cracy, we think that we should prove recreant to
the party that has always stood by u.s. i at this late
day, we should give up and sacrifice every principle
for which we have been SO long contending. And
especially, when there is nothing to gain by the o.
Grafton. For there cannot be sane man in the
State that can for one moment suppose that MI. Nc
Rae will get a respectable vote. The antidsri
button Democrats will not vote for him that is Ger
tain, while all will allow, putting the most Favorable
light upon the matter, that there will not be more
than two-thirds of the Americans and Wings that
will give in their support Then how many disri
button Democrats are there in the State? Not
on the American and Wing vote and to overcous
the last majority of Gov. Bragg This being the
most favorable position that we can place Mr. McRs
in, we ask in all candor, in all sincerity, and in al
kindness why give Mr.. McRae a complimentary vote
only, and by SO doing place weapon in the hands
of the Democracy in all time to to use against
us. If a complimentary vote only, is the object
(and it cannot be anything else) why not throwh
away upon some one in our own ranks who has
h..r hoo
that has always been against US, and who is still
against us; in every principle as far as we know,
laid down in the American platform. For DistHbu
ton is principle of the American party, although
think is just and right. But no American platform
that we ever saw ever made distribution PRINCIPE
of the party. We never like to see complmentar!
votes given to our political opponents, except they
come from their own side of the house. We hope
that our American and Wing friends vii! reflect up
on this matter. Giving their votes to Mr.. McR's
cal do no good"

MEDICINES.
Scr0fula, or Kings Evil,

Is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ IS free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the yenereal infection. What
ever be Its origin, it is hereditary i'll the con-
stltution, descending " from parents TO children
unto the third and fourth generation :" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 4"
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, so that scrofuous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scr0fulous in their nature
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we rust rcnovate
the blood By an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

the most effeetual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is com
omed from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul

Hence it should be employed for the cure of
