1.-The Democrat has two articles about
us this week which are certainly as non
sensical as could well be imagined. There
IS vast difference in advocating the sell
ling of pure liquors and that of the vile
compounds which now make men crazy,
not drunk. What we object to in bank
matters is, not to the establishment of such
a bank, but to see a party protesting to be
anti-bank electioneering for their legislative
candidate on the ground that he as a Jauh

DIR. III. L.. Morrill,, a SkiIful Physician o
New York City,

In his remarks on Dyspepsia, says The
most effectual medicine to improve the tone
and energy of the stomach, Is that prepared
by DR. Geo b. Green and called the Oxvge-
mated Bitters. | would publish the recipe for
preparing this valuable medicine, if knew
what it was, but as do not, can only rec
ommend its use. 1t seems TO me to be i'm
properly called "Bitters," at least in the pop
ular acceptation of that term, for it contains
no alcohol or other spirits, and is rather sour
than bitter. Though here, by the way, can
not too earnestly caution the dyspcptic sufferer
against using "bitters," the basis Of which is
alcohol or other ardent spirits. They no
more impart real energy to the stomach than
whip gives strength to horse. The slim
ulatiOn which they excite is only temporary,
and sure to be followed by a reaction. which
at length will inevitably wear out the stomach

ates these objections.

have to foot the bills of such acts by pay

the present are too sensibly felt to be dis
regarded With Mr.. Witherow as our re-

there will be no votes given to favor man.

the people of this State desire to rid them

under Pollock's administration, they must
repudiate political wire workers and send
those only to make laws who are with and

should not now have millions Of debt and

Mr.. Frysinger-Dear Sir:-In the Ga

Facts to be remembered" You are referred

/ the final passage of the liquor bill rs agreed
upon by the committee Of conference, which
was the only opportunity had Of voting on
the bill at all disdain to take cognizance

cannot refrain from notifying you to be eau

CHAS. BOWER.
We do not know whether the above
note was sent to us for publication or not
we however give it word for word. So
much of our article as ascrbcs Dir. Bower
rotiag in favor Of the free whiskey bill, we
will do him the justice to say that it was
wrong. During the main discussions on
the license bill he was absent from MS post,
for what reason we do not know, and on its
final passage voted against it. We wrote
the article previous to leaving for Williams
port, and had we been here, we think we
would have discovered the mistake and cor
rected it. We have no wish to slander
him in anything, as he has in all conscience
sins enough to answer at the political tri-
bunal without resorting to such a mode Of
warfare. While therefore willing to cor
rect errors or misrepresentation we tell
him here that if he supposes threats
will deter us from making known his ter
siversations last fall, he labors under a
slight mistake. There are facts" connec-

we can refer, and, if any more such eau

cred border spread out fat. 1t has been
referred to the Hydran darba topis, but
much uncertainty prevails as to its true
classification, as nothing like it Is on re-

to have been due to the singular condi-
