LEES CREEK, June IL, 1860.
Mr.: EDIToR: l see, by your last issue, a
list of candidates as far as 1. n Talking
ton, and one of the most important offices
to be filled, that of Sheriff, overlooked
Now, sir, Capt. Hiram Brodie, the nomi-
nee OF the Democratic party. has lived
amongst us for % years, is well-known as
an honorable. high-toned gentleman, has
filled several Offices of no profit or honor,
but was diligent and efficient, and should
receive the united support of the Demo
Gratis of Crawford County for Sheriff, and
it is to be hoped that one amongst us that
has labored in the ranks for 25 years, and
been an efficient man will not be overlook
ed by our party-but that /" honor to whom
honor is due will be awarded.
We can assure our correspondent that
Capt. BRoDIE will not be overlooked in the
canvass. and will receive the warm support
of the PREss. Our friend will find among
the list the name of Capt. Brodie. in con-
nection with all the other county nomina-
tions.

Plain Talk.

We learn from friend, that gentle
man, who has boen scjourning at Clarks-
vile, for while. has been trying to per-
suade some of our subscribers to discontin-
ne their papers, and to get up an indigna-
tion meeting, expressive of the sentiments
of THAT gentleman towards the Press
Every subscriber we have there, has a per
feet right to stop our paper, and further
more to express indignation for the course
it pursuss, if they should SO deem it nee
essary But we know better. the char
acter of the gentlemen that compose our list
of subscribers in that place, than to think
that they will be led into any foolish ol
ridiculous position, to gratify the spite Of
so disinterested an adviser We should bt
much gratified to send the Press, the COM
ing year. to every one that patronized il
the last-but we do not feel that it is obli-
gatory on them to receive it, and certainly
not, if our course is obnoxious to them
We cannot promise that our course will
be changed. materially, for the coming year,
on the question of secession or dissolution,
(Which to our mind are one and the same
thing.) The Press will neither give it en-
couragement or countenance-So NATTER
BH tHOk II - ADyocArED.
We shall continue to send the Press to
our subscribers At Clarksville, until they
order a adiscontinuance. Considering every
one of them to be gentlemen, and if they
have no use for our paper, they will signify
it in gentlemanlv manner.

Congressional Intervention.

The last Fayetteville Arkansian has the
following article on Congressional Inter
vention, which W. think is well-timed and
right to the point:
Z" 1t is an admitted aphorism that expc-
rience is dear school, and that fools VIII
learn in no other While the South is
clamoring for the dogma of Congressional
Intervention, the late vote in the House of
Representatives gives bitter commentary
on the practical working of that principle
Nothing could have occurred more oppor-
tunely and nothing could be more over
whelmingly convincing Of the impolicy of
the doctrine of Intervention, than the repeal
recently made of the New Mexican Slave
Code by the House of Representatives,. 1t
will be remembered that the Territorial
Legislature of New Mexico last winter en-
acted slave code, the soil, climate, and
productions of New Mexico inviting into
that region slave labor. Our recollection
is that there was but one member of the
Mexican Legislature that opposed the pas
sage Of the Slave Code. Notwithstanding
the unanimous favor with which this Code
was received by the people of the Territory,
Congress recently intervened and abolished
the Code, at least as far as it could do SO
by its action. We apprehend that when
ever Congress intervenes, it will be, as in
the case of New Mexico, for some purpose
hostile to slavery. This new revelation of
the practical workings of the principle of
Congressional Iueervention, will, we hope,
incite our readet1 70 more careful cxami-
astion of this dkctrine, and lead to their
clearer understanding of it. The point on
which the Chasl$ton Convention split was

Ague Cure,

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE or
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases origi-
nating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria Of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities Of the American people than a sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. P,tpeniion is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this balcful distonror. This "CURE" expels
the miasnadc poison of FGvEa AND AduE
nom the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the irst APP
preach OF its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yct discovered
Tor this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. Tho large quantity we supply for
a dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body; and i'll bilious districts, where FEVER
AND Auub plSNulLS, tNCty DOuy SHOULD nave IL
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach Of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for Tie speedy and GER
tain cure Of Intcrmittcnts is, that it contains
no Quinino or mineral, consequently it pro-
duccs no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy Us il they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Acusis not alone the consequence
Of the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of
li5ordcrs arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness. Toothache, Earache, Catauh, Asth-
M palMtaiion, Painful Affection CT the
spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Cole,
Paralysis and DCrangcmcnt OF the Stomach,
all Of which, when originating in this GAUGE,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
teal. This CuRE" cXpcls the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. il is IN invaluable protection to irnmi-
giants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malaIious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed TO the in
fiction, that will be oXcreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to r;pon into disease. Hence Il is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Inteimi;tcnts, if they avail
themselves Of the protection this remedy af-
fords.
