 Hon. Emerson Etheridge.

This gentleman, the Representative Tn Congress from the Trenton district, speaks at Brownsville to-day. His present posi- ton involves the necessity of some expla- nation from him, which we propose to afford him the opportunity of making.
 We ask him if he disclaims the speech at Dresden some two weeks since, the re port of which reaching this paper, repre- scented him as follows:
 ggrWE UNDERSTAND THATTHE HON. EMERSON ETHERIDGE MADE A SPEECH AT DRESDEN, TENN, DURING WHICH HE READ THE BLACK REPUBLICAN PLATFORM, AND ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY MAN THERE WHO COULD FIND FAULT WITH TT. HE FURTHER SAID THAT THE ELECTION OF LINCOLN ON THAT PLATFORM WOULD GIVE PEACE TO THE COUNTRY, WHILST BRECKIN RIDGES ELECTION WOULD DIS SOLVE THE UNION.
 MR. ErHERIDGE IS FOR BELL AND EVERETT.
 We ask him if the Terra Hautc cores pondent of the New Ark Advertiser is cor rect in the following representation of his speech at that place:
 "In regard to the Bell and Everett movement in this State, nothing positive can yet be known as to their running an electoral ticket in Indiana. Hon. Richard w. Thompson, the acknowledged leader of the party, has expressed his determination to support both the Republican and State Electoral tickets, and 1t is understood that he will discourage the organization of the party in opposition to the support of Lin coin and Hamlin. THE HON. E. ETHE RIDGE, OF TENNESSEE, ON HIS RETURN F R 0 NJ WASHINGTON, WAS THE GUEST OF COL. THOMP- SON FOR A FEW DAYS, AND WHEN IN THE CITY WAS SERB N A DE D BY HIS POLITICAL FRIENDS, WHEN HE MADE A SPEECH AND EXHORTED THEM TO CAST ASIDE ALL IBEA OF SUP PORTING A BELL TICKET IN INDI- ANA, AND GIVE THEIR UNITED SUPPORT TO LINCOLN. HE ADTIS- ED THEM THAT ALL THE EFFORTS OF T II F UNITED OPPOSITION SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE OVERTHROW OFTIIE DEMOCRAT IC PARTY, WHICH COULD ONLY BE DONE BY DEFEATING THEIR CANDIDATES IN AS MANY STATES AS POSSIBLE; HE SAID IF HE LIV- ED IN INDIANA HE WOULD VOTE FOR LINCOLN; BUT AS HE LIVED IN A STATE WHERE HIS OWN TIC KET HAD A CHANGE, HE SHOULD VOTE FOR BELL. THIS ADVICE FROM A MAN OF THE PO- SETON HELD BY MIR. ETHERIDGEI IN HIS PARTY H A $ G R E X TT WEIGHT WITH THE MEMBERS OF THAT PARTY IN INDIANA"
 It will not do for Mr. Etheridge to resort to the usual devices of which his genius is so prolific, to evade a manly and direct ex- planation upon these several points As all independent journal, we deem it due to the integrity of the people of the State upon the vital question of Black Republi- can aggression upon their material inter- ests, to fix, at once, the status of Mr. Etheridge.-Aualanche.

SantOnine IOZenges. WYE offer these Lozengcs without dis w guisc as to their composition. As their name imports. they depend for their efficacy upon Santonine alone-the lately discoveredactiv prin- ciple of the European or Levant Worm Seed. All the merit which we claim for our medicine is the purity of the Santonine which 1t contains and the careful manner in which it has been lncor- porated with and distributed through the mass from which the Lozenges have been formed.
 To be sure of these important points, we have them prepared at the Louisville Chemical Works, where the Santonne is first tested for its purity and then combined in the Lozenge in such way as to retain its properties and virtues unchanged. To the Profession we present valuable and well known medicine in q convenient and attractive form, of uniform and known strength-the direc tions indicating the dose of Santonine according to the U. s. P
 To the public we offer remedy for Worms eff cacious, safe, and pleasant as confectionery, d moderate price.

PETITION OF THE CITIZENS OF
 --COUNTY ARKANSAS, TO BOTH HOUSES OF THE LEGISLATURE WHEN ASSEM- BLED IN LITTLE ROCK, IN ISG0-'6l.

We, your petitioners, free white persons of both sexes, from the age of fifteen years upward, do most earnest Iy yet humbly pray your Honorable Body to grant us the following peti ton; namely, We eatire abolition of tic Law or LaUs authorizing tte Licensing ofhoases 10 retail ardent spirits within Me Sfate of ArkansaS; but, ifyour Hon. orable Body should not grant the above in full, then we ardently pray you to grant the above by special en- actment, Co 0alr county as named in Mc caption Of this petition.
 We would not ask this at your hands without offering a few of the many reasons which urge Us onward in this matter.
 Re0S0ns for Me Petition:
 l. Tipping houses afford tempta- lions that induce large numbers to to drink to excess who would other wise remain sober.
 ?. Tipping houses manufacture and bring into market the hordes of loafers, spendthrifts, fast young men," blacklegs, thieves and cut throats that infest our country-espe- cially our villages, towns and cities.
 3. TippIing houses are the direct or indirect cause of perhaps nine tenths of all the crimes committed within the state, and consequently of an enormous tax upon the sober and industrious classes, in order to pay court fees, etc. etc., in criminal prosecutions.
 1. Tipping houses lead to incar- ceration in our county and State Prison of perhaps -twentieths of all the inmates of those places for human punishment; furnish the hang man most of his subjects after having made them too bad to live on the earth; furnish large numbers annually for our poor house; make squallid poverty take possession of what but for doggeries, would be houses of plenty; make great numbers of almost broken hearted wives, become widows surrounded by weeping children, and scatter causes for weeping and vail ing all around.
 ,. Tippling houses are justly charg- able with nine -tenths of all the quar- reling, fighting, stabbing and shoot ing that occur every year.
 6. Tippling houses should be held accountable for three-fourths of the accidents that occur by steamboat ex- plosions, railroad collisions, personal drowning, freezing, suicides, etc.
 7. Tippling houses demoralize to some extent any place where even one is sustained-that community . lacks the subtraction of at least one doggery in order to moralize it.
 s. Tipping houses are detrimental to religion, morality, education, pros perity, honesty, industry and individ- ual and general happiness.
 9. Tipping houses being continued, there will be drunkards raised up from amongst the children at present around our firesides now in perfect sobriety! Horrible thought!
 10. Tippling houses are Instructions in the road to all that is good, great and ennobling-they are in the way of the gospel of Christ, in the way of happiness in this life and of that to come.
 In consideration of the above with numerous other reasons, we again lrge your Honorable Body to grant our humble request, and we as in du- ty bound will ever pray.
