HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
THE GREAT COUNTER IRRITANT!

The virus of disease often makes lie way
10 The internal organs through the pores of
the skin. THIS penetrating Ointment, melt
ing under the hand as il is rubbed in, is alb.
sotbed through the same channels, and,
reaching the seat Of inflammation, promptly
and invariably subdues il, whe her located
10 the kitneys the liver. the lungs, or any
other important organ. Ii penetraies the
surface 10 the interior, through the countless
tubes that communicate with the skin as
summer rain passes into The fevered earth,
dffnsing its cool and regeneraiing influence.
SKIN DISEASES AND GLANDULAR
SWELLINGS.
Every species of exterior irritation is
quickly reduced by the ami iuhammaiory
action OF this Ointment. Angry EiuptionS,
such as salt Rheum, Erysipplas, Te,Ier,
Rirgworn, Scald Head, Neule. Rash, Scab.
les, Tor Ilch) &c., die out, 10 return no more,
under THE application. Hospital expert
ence in all paris of the World proves it's
infallibli,y in diseases Of The skin, the mus
cles, The joints and the glands.
ULCERS, SORES, AND TUMORS.
The effect OF this unrvslled external
remedy upon Scrofula, and other viruieni
ulcers and sores, almost miraculous. IL
first discharges the poison which produces
suppuralion and proud flesh, and thus the
cures which its healing properties afterwards
complete are safe as well as permanent.
WOUNS, BRUISES, BURNS, and

In cases OF The fracture of the bones, in.
juries caused by steam explosions, Bruises,
Burns, Scalds, Rheumatism, Stiffness of the
Joints, and contraction of the sinews, i. is
employed and warmly recommended by

been introduced by its inventor in persons
into all the leading Hospitals OF Europe and
no private household should be without 1t.
UNDEFINABLE TESTIMONY.
The Medical Staff Of the French and Eng.

their approval of HOLLOWAY'S Ointment,
as the most reliable dressing for sabre cuts,
siabs, and gun-shot wounds. II is also
used by the surgeons OF the Allied NavIes.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

The steamer Anglo Saxon arrived at Halifax
from Liverpool ON the Both, with dates to the
10th ultimo.
1t is stated that both the French and Austrian
Emperors are convinced that the bases of the
treaty of peace were hastily made and in many re-
spects impracticable. They ignore the interven
ton of neutrals in consummating the treaty. Some
leading English journals, including the London
Post attack the treaty.
A French corps of fifty thousand is to remain
in Italy until the reorganization of the country
The Austrian army retains its position. Tuscany
Medina and Parma are all highly dissatisfied with
the treaty. At Turin great evaporation and de.
lection are displayed on the same account. Napo
leon was coldly received there.
Naturalization of all qualities had declined
to 4d., the market closing very dull.

fhe opposition party really opposed to the in
creased pay, why did not their Representatives vote
against it did the democratic delegation from this
State? And why did Mr. Vance, the wing member
from the Mountain District in the late session of Con-
gress object the consideration of the bill reducing
the salaries of public officers generally? The blame
with opposition members and not with democrats
The above are the most important points made by
Mr. Crage He spoke about one hour, and a more COM
plete vindcation of the democratic party we have
never heard.
Gen Walkup replied. He said he had not desired to
be candidate but had been urged to take the field
against his better judgment after repeatedly de-
clining to do so; but he had taken the whg stand
ard he would carry forward against the corrupt and
rotten democracy with all the ability he possessed lie
declared that he good whig, and also better
democrat than Mr Craige-[ This was jest, ofcourse
that Mr. Crage did not approve of all the measures
of the present Adminstr alton and therefore only
a half-handed democrat. He (Gen. Walkup) would
make better Representative than Mr. Craige, because
he would go for giving the people of his State their
share of the public lands; he would vote for the old
soldiers pension BILL and had he been in the last Con-
gress he would have voted against the admission OF
Oregon for it was adding another free State to the
Union without the requisite population to entite her to
admission. The democratic party, he said, was to
ty in Congress. He differed with his competitor as to
the appropriated and charged that the Gov
eminent expenses had run up to nearly $9O,O0O,0oO
THE General failed, entirely, to offer satisfactory
proof of this charged The democratic party was a
party and ought not to- be trusted longer with
the management of the Government; if it was, the
country would be ruined and everything bursted up
He called upon the people to elect him and he would
assist in putting things right
The General spoke for hour, but his remarks were
so scattering that unable to catch the exact
run of his arguments. We have no desire to boast
but we presume all parties will admit that The General
is not half match for Craige. He made great many
grave and serious charges against the democratic
party, but failed to substantiate them.
Mr. Craige replied in speech of half hour and the
General rejoned but believe points were
made.
We took notes, and what we have written is from
memory. The discussion conducted in a gentle
manly and friendly spirit than debates OF this
kind usually managed The impression created by
Mr. Craige very gratifying and entirely satisfactory
to his friends; that created by Gen. Walkup was to
use the language of old farmer who heard the dis
CUSTOM that he pretty good fellow, but on the
wrong track, with rugged road to travel.

sS Suppose the opposition in this State sue
coed in eecting any their candidates to Congress-
they will have to act with the democratic party or
with the black Republicans There is no other
organized party to act with in Congress except the
democratic or black republican Every opposition
member elected north of Mason & Dixon's line is
black republican in princple-not a solitary con-
servative old line whg elected-so it will be seen
that the small number Of oppositionsts elected
from the South will either have to cooperate as
the tail-end of the black republican organization
or unite with the democratic party on questions
affecting the interests of the two sections, as the
II southern oppositionsts in the last Congress
were obliged to do-eight of whom, we believe,
voted with the democrats. Considering this state
of things, would it not be better to send all demo-
Gratis to Congress from the South, men wko have
a conservative party to cooperate with, the only
organization possessing strength sufficient to beat
back fanaticism and make a stand for the rights
of the South

negroes. The State Legislature consist of y

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

During the canvass the Wadesboro Argus has
made statement upon statement without the least
regard to fairness, and the last issue caps the
climax in this respect. 1t says Burton Cralge
voted against Gen Jackson! This is not true
The first vote Mr. Craige ever gave was for jackson
1t says Mr. Cragc gets forty dollars per day as a
member of Congress, when the fact is the pay only
averages a little over IS per day. 1t says MIR
Crage is in favor of squatter sovereignty, when 1t
is well known that he has repeatedly declared that
he was opposed to it. Such misrepresentation as
these are too palpable to require notice. more than
to show what desperate concern the Wadesboro
Argus is. 1t rants, and begs and prays in behalf
of Gen. Walkup, and abuses Craigc, abuses the
democratic party, and misrepresents both without
stint and regardless of all fairness. 1t won't effect
much for its party in this way, we guess, and 1t
may therefore rave away as long as it pleases.

has heretofore been favorably mentioned in con-

years ago he had many warm friends in the coun-
try who brought him forward, and we are graft
fed to learn that his name will again be presented
to the Charleston Convention. He is native of
North Carolina, and rose from comparative OBJ
scurity by his own exertions, to places of great
honor and trust.
At present Gen. Lane represents Oregon in the
L. S. Senate, and is conservative, national man
in principle and practice, able defender of the
rights of the South, and disposed to grant all Sec
tions equal rights and protection. As soldier IN
the Mexican war, his bravery unsurpassed; al
ways ready and ever willing to go forth in the per-
Torrance of his duty and assist in chastising the
enemies of his country, he has been called 'the
Marion of the Mexican war" an honor earned by
numerous feats of daring courage.
