SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Great Drawback to persons emgrat-
ing to the extreme South and Western country,
is the fear they haveof the Fever and Ague-the
most direful Of all diseases. Every day We hear
of persons attacked by this disease and made
helpless in short time, without any means Of af-
fording relief. In view Of the great demand for
remedy, DIR. HosrETTER has presented his cele-
hrated "Bitters." whose curative powers for all
diseases Of the stomach have been universally
acknowledged. The "Bitters," prepared after .
long experience and deep study, have received the
encomiums Of the NEST eminent physicians, as well
all classes, from every part Of the country. To
those who doubt taeir many virtues, all We can
say is to try them, and judge for themselves, re-
spectively.

In lees than two weeks TIC man who
ieto b the next President ofthis great
confedefacy, VIII be named at Charles.
ton, BY the National Democratic Con-
vcnt:or. Between this time and the
holding of that Convention, the efforts
made by the different aspirants and
their friends will be by no means few
and feeble. The men that have entered
the lists to contend for the great prize,
will, as will also their numerous and in
fluen,ial, personal and political support
Eers, make use Of every honorable means
to secure two-thirds of the votes cast by
the National Democratic Delegation
Who the man is to be is not, we think,
very hard to be determined. The prin-
cipal part Of the Northwestern States
have signifed their intentions to 90 for
Judge Douglas; but the majority of the
States Of the Union have, we believe, an
entirely different person in view, who
will come before that body with such .
degree of favor as to insure his triumph
ant nomination on the second or third
ballot. We allude to none other than
that noble young statesman, the Honor
able John c. Breckenridge. 1t is true
that he has not openly Get up any loud
mouthed claim to the suffrages Of the
Democracy Of the nation; he has not
informed the people that he will run
only on platform made by himself, and
upon which his construction alone shall
rest nor has he held in his employ an
army of trnmpeters to herald forth to
the world his noble deeds, his wondrous
powers, or his acts of craftsmanship. BY
10 means. He is Of that stamp OF De-
mocracy that conceives it to be the duty
Of the people to name their candidate
to elect their standard bearer and not
the duty Of any one man to take from
the people their rights in naming him
self. In word he is sound, pure
hearted, high minded, consistent Demo
crat one who is not only amply quail
fed to discharge the duties of Presi-
dent of the United States but one,
though young in years, in whom the
people have already placed the utmost
confidence. We look upon John G.
Breckenridge as man upon whom the
entire Democratic party ofthe Union
can center. There may be others also,
who could poll the entire strength OF
the party, but we do not have them in
our mind at the present time. Such a
man is the one who should and who
will, we trust, receive the votes of the
Charleston Delegates.
We venture the prediction that the
Charleston Convention will nominate
Mr.. Breckenridge for the Presidency
with great unamimity.

The RELIGION OF PAYING DEBTS
One of the religious papers has the fol-
lowing strong remarks on this subject
They drive the nail in up to the head
and clinch it -
men may sophisticate as they please.
They can never make it right, and all
the bankrupt laws in the Universe can
not make it right for them not to pay
their debts. There is sin in neglect a.
clear and deserving Of church discipline
as in stealing or false swearing. He
who violates hispromise to pay or with.
holds the payment of debt when it is
in his power to meet his engagement
ought to be made to feel that in the
sight of all honest men he is a swindler
