BRATrLEBoRo', Vt, May 10, 1860.
For ten or twelve years L have been troubled much Of the
time with Catarrh, which has KEEP up a continual Irritation Of
the throat and lungs, attended with severe Cough. During
this time | have tried many Of the popular remedies of the
day, without the least benefit. The past winter commenced
the use Of Dr.. WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY, the ben
efcial effects Of which have been very great, as after having
used three bottles l find myself entirely cured OF my disease.
The BALsAN has also been used in "A severe case of asthma

Concentrated Leauen is the result Of careful chemical re-
search. All It's ingredients are prepared In the highest state
OF purity, and compounded with u view to produce bread Of
n far better quality, and In q much less time, than by any
other process; and the manufacturers submit IL with entire
confidence to the judgment Of discriminating housckeepers,
bakers, &c, &c.
Bread Of all Kinds, made by using Concentrated Leduen,
Is lighter, mort digestiblc and nutricious, has an agreeable,
natural tastej is less liable to souri, will retain Its moisture
longer than by any other process, and the whole preparation
for The oven need not exceed ten minutes.
II Is valuable because II is not p~erishable, and may be rem
der ID available In places and at times when yeast Is not with
In reach, as at sea. In all climates. aud under all circum-
stances, II may be adopted, thus obyiating all difficulty Of
procuring yeast or other ferment, which Is frequently Of an
inferior quality, rendering the bread more or less unwhole-
some.
1t is also valuable as regards economy, as II has been as
certained that "A saving Is Effected in the -four Of not less than
10 per cent. Ia the common process, much Of The %saccharine
OF The Hour is lost by being converted into carbonic acid gas,
or spirit, and the waste Is incurred solely for the purpose Of
generating gas to raise the dough. by using Concentrated
Ledpcn, this waste Is avoided, and the gas obtained In a
manner equally enicacious. Fermentation, as has been
stated, destroys n part of the flour or meal, and, in conse-
quence, a barrel Of flour weighing 1876 lbs, which by the COM
mon method ordinarily makes about $50 lbs. Of bread, gives
by this process 300 lbs, thus efecting the very important
saving Of 10 per cent. In the quantity Of -four. by con-
tormity To- the directions ON each package, any person capa-
bic Of ordinary attention may conduct the process, and the
result will invariably be highly satisfactory.

Ratification Meeting.

We hope it will be borne in mind that there
will be a meeting to ratify the nomination OF
Bell and Everett in this place on Monday next
the first day of the county Court. It will be
very interesting occasion, and we wish all the
friends of the Union ticket, who can possibly
get here to enjoy it, Steps will be initiated for
the thorough organization of our party in this
county. There will be interesting and eloquent
speeches delivered ON that occasions, which it
will do the friends of the Union good to hear
Come one, come all, to the feast of reason and
the flow of soul. 1t is now conceded on all sides
that Bell and Everett will carry the State their
friends will do their aohole duty.

The speech of Gen. Henry s. Foote.

We regret that our limited space this week
prevents the possibility of noticing, as we would
desire, the able and eloquent speech of this dis
tinguished gentleman. He spoke for three hours,
for which length of time he riveted and en-
chained the attention of his large audience. He
exposed in mastery style the deep corruption
of the present Administration. He tore the
veil from the face of the Mokanna of Louisiana
Senator Slidell-and exposed his monstrous
deformity in all its horrid .hideousness. He
reviewed the acts, canvassed the schemes, dis
cussed the purposes, weighed the arguments, and
Analysed the motives, of those who were the
chief managers in securing the nomination of
Breckinridg and Lane; and drew, as with a
pencil flight, picture of their dark and treason
able designs to destroy the palladium of our lib
critics. In the course of his speech he had the
honesty and frankness to admit that a better
trust worthy statesman than John Bell, of Ten
nessee, did not exist within the broad limits of
our country. He said that whilst he supported
Douglas, he would yet rejoice, Gin the event of
the defeat of Douglas) in the election of John
Bell, whom he knew personally and intimately !;
for he knew that the Union and the rights of
the South would be perfectly safe if the reins of
government were entrusted to his hands. In
Edward Everett he likewise had confidence, for
he Foote) had heard Everett declare before the
people Of the North, in 1851, that he approved
of the Compromise of 1850 with the .tugitire
slave bill included, and that he was in favor of
the faithful enforcement of that law for the rem
dition of slaves. gsa,as

which was unanimously adopted:
Resoloed, That B. NJ. Dewitt be Chairman Of
the Executive Committee and be authorized to

ses of the Convention, and Jno. A. Hartman be

Douglas and Breckinridge Democrats Both
Endorse the S0undness of John Bell.
Senator Toombs of Georgia, supporter of
Breckenridge, says that Bell is as sound upon
the subject of Southern rights as he is.
Gen. Henry S. Eoote, a supporter of Douglas,
says, that purer gentleman, a better patriot, a
more reliable friend of our peculiar institution"
does not live.
Mr.. Charles Irving, the Ohevalier Bayard OF
Virginia Democrats, at present the Editor of the
"True Democrat" new Douglas paper pub
lished in Petersburg, Va, says that John Bell IS
as sound upon the slavery question as he is
He knows Bell personally, and "speakest that
which he doth know" when he thus emphatic
ally endorses him. He does not like Everett 80
well. His objection being that Everett is al
most such man as Willard Fillmore. Pretty
good that, we say. We have the authority Of
Mr. Irving for stating that Hon. Roger A. Pryor
said, in public address in his presence, that II
his Pryor's) vote would elect John Bell, he
would cheerfully give it to him.
That John Bell is perfectly ''sound on the
goose" we suppose no unprecedented man doubts
He is not only true to the South, but to the
whele country. If we believed his patriotism
was restricted to his section merely, we would
not accord to him our support. We support
him earnestly, cordially and zeaiously, because
we feel the utmost confidence that his heart
embraces the whole Union, and that as Chief
Magistrate of the Nation, he would know nc
North, no South, no East, no West. He would
plant himself upon the firm and broad platform
of the Union, and administer the government
in accordance with the Constitutional chart o.
our liberties. He would preserve the Union
protect the Constitution, and faithfully enforce
the Laws of the country.

EDITORIAL space Restricted.

With the view of giving our readers as full a
report of the proceedings of the Douglas Con-
vention as they would desire, we have been
compelled to restrict the space usually devoted
to editorial. We feel confident that they would
rather have the space occupied with the pro-
ceedings of that interesting body than any arti-
Gle we might write. We hope these proceedings
will be read and carefully preserved.

For the Spectator.


VIRGINIA HOUSE, Stauntoa, Aug. Is, go
Mr.. Editor In your issue of the 14th inst,
(Which has just been placed in my hands,) a
short editorial notice of a speech recently made
by me before the people Of Greenbrier, appears !;
in which you do me-unintentional- injustice
You say that /, in the speech alluded to, "vio-
lently opposed Judge Douglas, and entered into
an earnest argument to prove that he was as OBJ
jectionable as Lincoln, and that had avowed
my willingness to support him, up to the meeting
of the Charleston Convention" So long as this
matter was confined to my immediate section,
and noticed only in the local papers of my own
town, did not think it necessary for me to say
anything. But since alluson has been made, to
my position, by both of the papers of this place,
and by others in the State, it may not be amiss
to say that did oppose the election of Judge
Douglas, and attempted to show, that if this
privilege of squatter sovereignty, as advocated
by him, was applied in its full force to the gov
eminent of the Territories, and all its legitimate
results fully carried out and made efectual, the
equality of the States and our interests in a COM
mon property would be greatly endangered, if
not wholly destroyed
But did not say that he was as Objectionable
as Lincoln. | admit that had he been nominated
according to the usages of the party, and upon
a platform acceptable, be would have received
my hearty support. In haste,
Yours truly,
Ro F. DENNIS.

The Charlottesville Convention.

The Breckenridge party of Virginia met in
Convention at Charlottesville, On Thursday last,
and continued in session until Saturday. Seve-
raj hundred delegates were in attendance, inclu-
ding many of the leading Democratic politicians
of the State. Senators Mason and Hunter and
sundry members of the House of Representa-
tives. were there in full feather. Col. W. AM
bier was elected President. 1t is impossible for
us to give detailed report of the proceedings;
but it is worthy of special notice that, while
one of the resolutions adopted by the Conven-
ton Indignantly denies the charge of disunion
preferred against the party, the newspapers state
that flaming disunion speech was loudly APP
plauded by the members What does that
mean? AS seen by the proceedings of the
Staunton Convention, the attempt to fuse the
two wings of the Democracy utterly failed
Resolutions were adopted at Charlottesville
approving the nomination of Breckenridge and
Lane; accepting the second and third resolu-
tons of the majority report at Charleston, in re-
gard to Slavery in the Territories; and instruct
ing the Electors, if they could not secure the
triumph of their ticket, to vote any way so as to
defeat Lincoln. Messrs. Hunter, Mason, Wise.
Russell and Ex-Gov. Smith were appointed Elec-
tors at large The list of District Electors has
not been published yet, but we learn that james
W. Massie, Esq, of Rockbridge, was appointed
for this District
