Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, it does care this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
rather does what is of service to those sub
Ject to this Infection If taken in season it expels
1t from the system it is absorbed and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache. or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
ToOthache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tons, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries
Collie, Para ysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all Of which, when arising
from this cause, win be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This "AGuE CURE -
removes the cause of these arrangements and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre-
tories to eXpe the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office of their accord Hence arises what
we term accHmotatfOn. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt while this AGuE CURE I"
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap well good.

Fever and Ague,

ON which mankind suffer over a large part of
globe, is the consequence of diseased action
, the system. induced by the poisonous miasm of
egetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
he action Of solar heat wet soil, and rises with
he watery vapOr from it. While the sun is below
he horizon this yapor fingers the earth's
ace, and the virus is taken with it through the
ingS into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
Nison Oh the internal yiscera and excreting organs
the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
a"rcte rot only this virus, but also the bile from
ne blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
tho circulation. and produce violent constitu-
jonal disorder. The spleen. the kidneys, and the
rnl"h sympathize with the liver, and become
,isordered also Finally, the instinct of our or
yailis'n, as il in attempt TO eNpel the noxious
lfI.i0n, concentrates the whole blood of the body
the internal eycretories to force them to cast it
nut. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with congestve violence This
IS the Gull. But in this effort it fails Then the
FEVER follows, i'll which the blood leaves the GEN.
trail organs and rushes to the surface, as if in
another effort to expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory skin. In this
also il fails, and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted and waits for the recovery OF strength
to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND AGUE.
Such constitutional disorder will of course under

PERSONAL DIFFTCULTI.-A difficulty occurred
at Sacramento on the evening Of the 10th inst,
between J. C. McKibbin and J. W. Coffroth.
The latter remarked that no one could get a
nomination in the Convention then in session
unless he wore Broderick collar and on re-
peating the expression McKibbin knocked him
down. The next morning il was reported about
the city that Coffroth had challenged McKibbin;
that the challenge had been accepted, and that
the parties were to meet at O'Clock, r. NJ. in
Sutter county. Warrants were issued and the
principals we're both arrested. McKibbin gave
bond in the SUN of 81 500 for his appearance
the next day. and proceeded to the place ap-
pointed. CofIrolh was held TO bail in the sum
Of 81, 900, which he refused to give, and was
sent on board the prison big. On Saturday.
McKbbin was examine before Justice Barr,
and held to bail in the sum Of $4,000 10 keep
the peace for six months. Coffroth was exam
ined before Justice Coggins, and the case ad-
journed until Monday for further evidence.
The affair having been checked in its incpien.
cy. it is not probable that any hostile meesing
will occur between the parties.

THAT CONVENTION.

The Grass Valley National charges US with
misrepresenting the late LecomPton County
Convention. The editor also favors 'Brother
Waite" with some choice epithets for cslling
him stool and hreling" Of Meredith. We think
the Journal went little too far in this, and
make no doubt when its editor recoveFs his
equanimity be will make an ample apology to
Mr.. Meredith for this piece of impertinence.
The facts which the National says We rnisrep-
resented are these: Under resolution Of the
Convention the several township delegations
reported the names Of the persons they wished
to attend as delegates at Sacramento. These
recommendations we're unanimously acquiesced
in until VIM Watt reported the choice of Grass
Valley, which be did with the statement that
every one of the persons suggested would vote
for Meredith for Congress whenever his name
might appear before the Convention. Before
Watt was seated, that north star apostle of 1858,
Broderiek admirer of 1854, Know Nothing
champion OF 1855, and Lecompton blow-hard
of to-day, Kit Lansing, was on the floor, with
the report of a minority Of four, asking that
they might find favor in the eyes of the Conven-
ton, and have their choice ratified. Consist
ent Christopher made speech All he want
ed was delegates for Sacramento who would 60
for Meredith "frst, last. and all the time"
Watt defined this to mean. men who would go
down there gagged, and tied hand and foot. to
be sod and traded like so many sheep by Mer-
edith. Watt said further, that no Democrat
with particle of decency or self-respect would
tolerate such course. But Watts wrath and
Knights sarcasm, were alike useless. Col.
Whitman, K. N. State Controller in 1855, felt
it his duty to support the minority, and en-
dsrse MerediiRs Democracy, and did 20. Niles
Searls, X. N. District Judge Of 1885. made q
desperate effort to express his admiration for
Meredith's superhuman genius, but as wind and
words were wanting, contented himself with
indorsing his tried and unlinching Democracy
Dick Moyes rolled up his eyes. and made a hid
eous noise, supposed to be in the same behalf
and C. W. Hill. always Whig, or X. N, and
last fall a candidate against the Democracy
closed this interesting exhibition by narratinl
his own short but sweet experience Of the joy
of pure Democracy, expounding Democratic
usages, and vouching for Mcredith's fidelity tC
the principles OF Jackson and Buchanan. AZ
ter this last intliction, the Convention adopted
the minority report, passed . resolution indors
ing Meredith. and tabled one favoring the ad
minlstration OF Mr.. Buchanan and J. B. Weller
These are the facts from which we, in com
mon with majority of the Grass Valley dele
CATION. drew the inference that the delegates
below were wanted merely as trading capital
and selected as such.

DouCIas and Eorney.

We notice the Lecompton journals Of this
State are clarifying over a reported interview
between Forney and Douglas. in which the lat
ter insisted upon going before the Charlestown
Convention, against the wishes and remonstran-
ees Of Forney. As these same journals six
months since solemnly read Douglas out Of the
Democratic party, we would respectfully in-
quire Of them what business he has before this
Convention. and by what process he has rein
stated himself thus high in their affections and
opinions We are not awars that Mr.. Douglas
has reseded from q single position which be
has assumed, and for which be has been de-
nounced, and as q measure Of precaution we
would advise these jubilant Lecomptonites to
restrain their feelings. There may be some
mistake. Mr.. Douglas may not bend the knee
10 their Baal. aud they may be compelled to
change their peans of triumph for cursing; |;
their songs Of rejoicing into wailing and guash-
Ing of teeth.

In our issue of to-day will be found the names
of the candidates nominated BY the Democratic
State Convention, which assembled ct Sacra-
mepto on the 18th inst. The Convention was
presided over BY that sterling Democrat, Hon.
J. W. McCorkle, the proceedings were harmo-
NOUS, and the members seemed to be aetuated
BY common sentiment-to present IN unex-
ceptionable ticket for the suffrages Of the peo-
pie, and adopt such platform as will meet the
views of all national men Of every section. ln
these respects, the Convention has fully come
up to the expectations of the people.
The gentlemen selected as stsudard-bearerS
are among the best and most substantial citi-
zens Of the State. They are men Of ability and
integrity, and not ofice-eeekers by profession.
A better man than John Currey, to head the
ticket as the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, could not have been found in the State.
He is eminently qualified, both by nature and
education, to ador n any position in the gift OF
the people; his private character is unsnllied.
and bis interests are identified with the State.
He is a stranger to political trickery, and in
hs case at least "the office has sought the
man."
John Conness, the nominee for Lieut.. Gov
ernor, was some years ago an efficient member
Of the Assembly from El Dorado county. He
is man of talent. and is peculiarly fitted, by
his Legislative experience, decision OF charac'
ter, and quickness Of perception, to preside
over the deliberations Of the Senate.
For Justice of the Supreme Court, the Con-
vention nominated Royal T. Sprague of Shasta
He is an able lawyer, aud has long enjoyed an
extensive legal practice in the northern mining
counties.
Mr. McKibbin, the nominee for Congress
from the northern district, has proven On Ell
cient, honest, and independent representative
Of the people. and his course during the session
of the last Congress in resisting the blandish
ments of Federal power, is ample guaranty
that be will continue to firmly adhere to tru'
Democratic principles. Gen. Booker, the nom
inee for the southern district, is prominen
lawyer of Stockton. He is not known as pol
i;ician, but is said TO be fine orator and
man of talent.
Mr.. Ashley, Of Monterey, who received th
nomination for State Treasurer, has served on,
term as member Of the State Senate, and hi
exertions in cutting off useless expenditures arr
appreciated by the tax payers of the State. HI
is man Of uaAinching integrity, and If elected
the public funds will be safe in bis hands.
In the nomination Of John O'Meara for Stat,
|
man for the place.
OF the other candidates we know nothing
further than that they were all highly recon
mended by the delegates from their respective
localities. The ticket, on the whole. is the bes
ever presented to the people of the State, ant
the candidates will fully come up to the Jetfcr
sonian test, of honesty and capability.

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1859.
The Platform.

In another column will be found the resolu-
sions adopted by the Democratic State Con-
yention. The first resolution endorses the
Cincinnati platform, and the second reiterste'
che true popular sovereignty doctrine, that the
people Of the Territories have the right to form
their own domestic institutions. The position
Of the anti-Lecompton Democrats upon the
question of Congressional Intervention, cannot
be mistaken. As q matter Of principle they
hold that Congress has no more right under the
Constitution to interfere in the domestic affairs
Of the Territories, than it has to interfere in
tbe affairs Of the several States; and OF course
they will firmly oppose every attempt at inter-
vention whether it comes from the North or
the South. As q matter Of policy, too, they
hold that the people Of the Territories should
be allowed to establish their own institutions,
and either protect or exclude slavery as ma
jority may determine. They repudiste the
doctrine of Intervention in any form, believing
as they do that the bona 6de inhabitants of the
Territories, who alone are Interested should
be permitted to settle the question Of slavery
for themselves. The doctrine Of non-inierven-
siou 10 70 just and national that IL must event
ually become the settled policy of the govern
ment Let the question Of slavery be settled
upon this principle, and sectional agitation
will cease.

LEcoMProN CASDrpATEs.-The delegates to
.he Lecompton Convention have been appoint.
ed throughout the State, and according to the
estimate Of the Union, the vote for Governor
will be divided between the four principal can
didates as follows Weller, 81; Latham, lOl;
Nugcnt, rs; Denver, "a; and 20 delegates
doubtful. OF the doubtful delegates, IA are
from Tuolumue, who will be likely to vote for
Weller; and IL are from Calaveras, = majority
of whom it is said will go for Latham. The
vote of Nevada ia put down elk for Weller and
eight for Latham; but the IA votes of this
county will doubtless be cast either for Weller
or Latham-whcheve can bid the highest for
them. From present appearances Weller has
the inside track, as the Custom House which is
working for him will be able TO control most
of the doubtful votes. Meredith and Burch
are the leading candidates for Congress in the
northern district, and the chances are that
Scott will be nominated for the southern dis
trict. The Convention meets to-day, and will
probably be in session until Friday or Saturday
