Democrats will please remember that the elec
ton for Secretary of State will be held on Mon
day, the I'd day of April next, and that Charlie,
A. Brougher, ESQ.,, Of Tippah, is the Democratic
candidate for that Office. Mr.. Brougher is fine
and effective political speaker, and in the political
conflicts in North Mississippi, he has always been
found in the thickest of the fight, and ever OF
the right-the Democratic side.

short time since, some of the Opposition
papers hazOned forth in big capitals, the namel
of Millard Fillmore and William L. Sharkey al
candidates for President and Vice President il
1860 These names have suddenly disappear
ed from the mast head Of these journals, and nc
reason has been assigned FOR it. The time wher
these names disappeared from the political hori

their friends had to "perform the painful duty
Of bSheading them and burying them without

Of the many blessings which an all-wise Crea.
ter has bestowed on ungrateful, yet dependent
man, the knowledge of the laws of health and
remedies for distressing maladies, ia certainly
among the most useful. For DsrrhGa, Dysentery,
Chole5a MOrbus, and similar affections Of the
bowels, Green's Carminative Syrup acts like a
charm, relieving the sufferer and restoring the
rosy tint Of health. A single bottle will convince
the most sceptical. See advertisement in another

The most certain and speedy remedy euer dis
coUered for all Diseases of Tho Chest,
and Lungs, Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Consumption, Bronchitis, Influenza,
Hoarseness Difficult Breathing,
Sore Throat, &c., dc.
These Waters give the most instantaneous and
perfect relief, and when persevered with accord
ing to directions, never fail to effect rapid and
lasting cure. Thousands have been restored to
perfect health who have tried other means in
vain. To oil classes and all constitutions they
are equally blessing and a cure-none need
despair, no matter how long the disease may have
existed, or however severe It may be, provided
the organic structure Of the vital organs is not
hOpelessly decayed. Every enc should give them
an impartial trial.
To VOCALIsTs AND PUBLIC SPEAKERS, these
Waters are peculiarly valuable; they will in ONE
DAY remove the most severe occasional hoarse-
ness and their regular use for few days, will,
at all times, increase the power and fexibiity Of
the voice, greatly improving its tone, compass
and clearness, for which purpose they are regu-
larly used by many professional vocalists.
