The Turkish, Sultan

Fredrika Bremen, in = recent magazine
article, thus describes the Turkish Sultan:
"a little man in da.rl: coat, dark red
cap with a long black tasscl on his head, and
pale unpleasing countenance, comes down
the steps, with as little dignity os shop
man. Can that really be the Sultan? Yes,
it must be tho Sultan, because the elderly
military personages by his side reply with
an expression Of deep reverence to some re-
marks of the little man, and the stout lady
with tho children steps hastily forward into
his path, as if she would stop his further ad
vance. He starts, makes half step back
ward, and contracts his eyebrows most threat
eningly. Yet he listens to what she has to
say, but listens with a gloomy expression,
and then casts an inquiring glance on his
brother-in- law, the High Admiral. He ut
ters a few words Of explanation, shrugging {
his shoulders, and then another word or two,
which seem to say, What do | know about
your husband Emotions the stout lady on.
of the way, and walks on to the SHORE, talk
ing gaily with the gentlemen who attend
him. He steps into the caique, from which
the canopy has been removed; puts on his
| gloves. distorts his face in looking up at the
sun, and SO doing. exhibits his tobacco
stained teeth; while his plain, uninteresting
countenance assumes q most disagrecable ex-
preston. This then, is the man who is
called Gods Shadow on the Earth aud
who rules with absolute sway over the lives
and happiness of 35,O00,000 Of human be-
ings. | have seen many crowned heads,
but none who seem TO me so devoid OF dig
nifty, SO devoid of anything remarkable as
this Shadow Of God on Earth Neverthe-
less, the throne must produce an effect either
for good or for evil Travellers who See
Abdul Medjid only at public audience, ust,-

character Of his exterior. | now saw him
under other circumstances. He was lively
and his countenance, although pale, indi-
Gated more youthful strength and health
than I had been led to expect. That is,'

he has drank something stronger than cham
pagne, and this has given him strength Be-
sides, he was to-day in good humor. But
he generally looks very gloomy. Abdul
Medjid has tho Turkish family fsstures, the
oval couutenance, with somewhat prominent
cheek bones, The nose broad at the nostrils
and arched, the dark brown, woll-cut but
not large eyes; and the tinely-pcnciled eye
brows. They struck Inc as finest when con-
tracted with their threatening expression
and the countenance then appeared most
significant. If they could contract with a
grave earnestncss, Abdul Medjd would be a
man OF high character. Naturally mild of
disposition, good son and brother, uhwil-
ling, though a despot, to sign death war

softer feelings. That which he wants is real
oarnestness, and real strength. SO, at least,

did not sustain the proposition to amend lu'
Constitution by permitting negroes to vote with
out property qualification That measure Is
defeated by an overwhelming majority. In our
city it received about sixteen bundled votes,
while the vote against it numbers about thirty
seven thousand.
1t is Our opinion that there are, even IN the
Republican ranks Of the North, fewer Abolition
lists than Our friends Of the South suppose, and
an effort is to be made to prevent Mr.. Lilcoln's
Administration from interfering with or impair
ing the equality Of the South in the Union. As
surances Of this kind are very general in this re-
glOn. In view OF these facts and considering how
monentous must lie the consequences ofbreaking
up that Union of sovereign States which the
blood and wisdom Of our ancestors organized,
we earnestly entreat our brethren at the South
not to resolve upon any act which maydssever
our confederacy at this time.
Let us wait, at least until the 4th of March
next, and then learn upon what principles Mr..
Lincoln proposes that our Federal Government
should be administered. Let us see what class
of men will be called to his Cabinet If, in the
selection Of doctrines or Ministers he evnces a
tendency which may be regarded as calculated
to impair the rights of any portion of our Con-
feleracy, it will then be time enough to take
definite action. If secession should now take
place, and the Southern Senators resign, the
whole power of the Government would be placed
in Mr.. Lincon's hands, and all Southern CO.
operation taken from the patriotic men Of other
sections who are prepared to support Southern
rights to the last extremity. This withdrawal
would be particularly deplorable in view.of the
fact that Mr.. Lincoln is to have majority
against him in the House as well as the Senate,
if our friends remain where they are.
Brethren Of the South we call upon you not
to desert us who have to the best of our capac-
ty, and without hope or chance of preferment,
profit Or reward other than the consciousness of
having acted well, maintained the political doc
trine which you advocate.
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1860-11-22

with honor anl safety to ourselves. The man
who would not IS either poor patriot ora worse
stat snan.
AS matters stand we do not see how the South
can agree to live under the Government Of Lin
coin and lis party, except under an authorita-
tive guaranty from the Northern States of the
Union. that every cause that has made the idea
of such dominion Objectionable and odous, shall
be effectuallv removed. This alone can preserve
the Union and give peace to its parts. We can
not exist long together even should the present
storm be allowed to pass over and there is no
better time than the present for an amcab!e
understanding and settlement, or peaceable
separation. In recollection Of the noble efforts
and sacrifices of our fathers to form this confede
rated Government. the countless blessings it has
conferred upon their children, and its glorious
influence upon the cause of human liberty and
civilization throughout the world, we are unWlli
ing to give it up without one more earnest and
patriotic effort to decide whether or not it can
be maintained consistently with justice and
honor.
To this end. we would suggest that Nation
al C0nrention to be composed of three delegates,
from each and every State in the Union, and
appointed according to the pleasure of each,
shall be constituted, to meet at the earliest day
practicable, and to whom shall be referred all
the questions of CONTROVERSY and division be-
tween the North and the South Such a body
composed of the wise and prudent men Of the
country, we feel sure, could agree upon a plan
that would protect all interests, quiet all heart
burnings, give peace to the nation, and place
us once more on the highway of a glorious Ca
reer We would have it assemble on the TWEEN
ty-second of February-the birthday Of Wash
fington-and at Independence Hall, in Phadel-
pha with the hope that the men selected as the
saviours Of our country in 1860, may catch some
Of the patriotic fire that animated the breasts Of
the noble founders of the Republic.
We submit the suggestion, with the painful
consciousness that the temper of our country
men at the present moment is not favorable to
it's calm and dispassonate consideration, but
with the hope that a more quiet period is ap-
preaching when some true-hearted, trumpet
tonged patriot of the South shall sound it abroad
and speak peace to distracted people May
we not cherish the additional hope that it will
touch the heart Of the Empire State of the South,
and that she will take the lead and bid all her
Southern sisters follow in her train p? What a
grand consummation it would be
We believe in the eventual success of our
project, if tried. IT. on the other hand, it should
fail, there will be no divisions then as now; but
one mind and one heart will animate us ALL
We shall stand discharged Vi every responsible
ty, and free to resume the rights we have sur
rendered for the public good and able, as an
independent nation, to maintain them against
all the world

C-JHEADAcHE is the favorite sign by which ma
'ure makes known any deviation whatever from
the natural state of the brain, and viewed in this
light it may be looked on as a safeguard intended
to give notice Of disease which might otherwise
escape attention. till too late to be remedied and
its indications should never be neglected. Head
aches may be classified under two names, viz !:
Symptomatc and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Head
ache is exceedingly common and is the precursor
of great variety of diseases, among which are
Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile dis
cases. In its nervous form it is sympathetic of
disease of the stomach constituting Sick Headache,
of hepatic disease constituting Bilious Headache,
of worms, constipation and other disorders of the
bowels, well renal and uterine Affections
Diseases of the heart very frequently attended
with Headaches; AnBmia and plethora are also
affections which frequently occasion headache -
ldiophatc Headache is also very common. being
usually distinguished by the name of Nervous
Headache, sometimes coming on suddenly in a
state of apparently sound health and prostrating at
once the mental and physical energies, and in 9TH
er instances it comes slowly, heralded by de-
preston of spirits or acerhity of tempsr. In most
instances the pain is in the front of the head over
one or both eyes, and sometimes provoking vomit-
ing; under this class may also be named Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class of Headache
the Cephalic Pills have been found sure and safe
remedy: relieving the most acute pain in few
minutes, and by its subtle power eradcating the
diseases OF which Headache is the unerrng index.

Constipation Or Costivcness.

No one Of the "many ills flesh is heir to" is so
prevalent SO little understood, and so much neg
lected as Costiveness. Often originating in care
lessness, or sedentary habits; it is regarded as
slight disorder Of too little consequence to excite
anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor and
companion of many of the most fatal and danger
Gus diseases, and unless early eradicated it will
bring the sufferer to untnely grave. Among.
the lighter evils Of which cosiveness is the usual
attendant are Headache. Collie Rheumatism, Foul
Breath, Piles and others of like nature, while a
long train of frishttul diseases such Malignant
Fevers, Abcesses, Dysentary, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia,
Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria, Hypo-.
chondrasis, Melancholy and Insanity, first indicate
their presence in the system by this alarming symp
tom. Not unfrequenty the diseases named origi-
nate in Constipation, but take on Independent
existence unless the cause is eradicated in an early
stage. From all these considerations it follows
that the disorder should receive immediate atten-
ton whenever it OCCURS, and person should
neglect to get box of CephaIic Pills on the first
appearance of the complaint, their timely use
will expel the insduous approaches of disease and
destroy this dangerous foe to human life.
