Gov. McRAE.-The Enterprise News in
reporting recent speech of Gov. McRae, the
Democratic nominee for Congress in the odd
Fifth, = says he took the highest ground ocss
cupied by the most ultra Southern Rights
man for the equality of the South in the
Union, or independence out OF it. He planted
himself on the platform of the Democratic
party of Mississippi adopted at its recent
meeting in jackson, and urged with great
force the claims of this platform to the favor
able consideration Of the people of Mississippi,
as the best Southern platform that has yet
been built, He denounced Douglas and his
Squatter Sovereignty, and insisted that the
South should be protected in her Slave prop
erty in the Territories, the same as all other
property IS protected.
In relation to the Charleston Convention
he said he was in favor Of the South sending
delegates to it, instructed to insist upon diff
ferent Interpretation Of the Cincinnati plat
form, from that which it now obtains, and if
the Convention refuses to give it, or Rominates
Douglas, or any one as obnoxious to the South
as he is upon the slavery question, for the
Southern delegates to Withdraw, and nominate
a Southern candidate who will insist upon
every right of the South at every hazard
We will add that so entirely do these views
accord with the sentiments of the people in
the 18th District, that Gov. McEae is running
for Congress without the shadow of opposi-
ton. 4 like unanimity upon the great issues
mentioned, prevails in all the Districts.

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in THO
blood and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so il does ctfTe this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And Il does more
rather does what is Of more service to those SUBJ
ect to this infection. If taken in season it expe4
it from the system as 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-
tions Painful Affections Of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections Of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more
less the intermittent type. This "AGUB CURR"
removes the Of these arrangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomplshes by stimulating the cxcre-
tories to expel the virus from the system and
these organs by degrees become habitcd to do this
their office Of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term acchmatatio1,. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this AeUE CURAs'
does 1t at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is q surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which ate
caused by the masmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.
