Scene tn a TtNege Ciarch,-On
Sunday last, in one Of the churches
of the good town Spencer, while the

and just before the sacrament was
offered, man in the back part of
the assembly rose, and deliberately
passing up the aisle in front of the

The Proposition for Union.

The Douglas Electors for the lst
and I'd districts in this State, Messrs.
Britton and Malone, have made the
proposition TO Withdraw all the Doug
las Electors from the field, and let
the Democrats in the State vote for
the Breckenridge Electors, and if
the vote of the State is cast for
them and there is chance to elect
Breckenridge at Gil, the vote OF the
State shall be cast for him; but If
not, they shall next cast it for Doug
las, if he has the best chance. We
think this union between the two
wings Of the Democratic party should
be effected at once, in order 10 keep
our glorious State from passing un-
der Know-Nothing Disrule, il moth.
ing else and will certainly meet
the sanction and approval of all who
prefer seeing Breckinridge get it to
John Bell, our old enemy, who has
fought us TO :hc hilt for 80 years
We accept the proposition for union
as lnade by those Douglas Elector:
of the 1st and ID Districts, and We
are assured that it will meet with the
approval oc the Breckenridge Democ
racy generally, knowing as we DC
that Harris, Johnson, Nicholson, Ew,
log, our Democratic Central Com
mi,tee, and many other distinguished
Democra' are in favor of it, and W:
hope and trust that the Douglas de
mocracy will accept it, and In few
DAYS more we may have the gratifca
lion Of knowing that there are bu
one set of Democratic Electors in The
field; and then With united front te
a common foe, We will march on a!
of yere to certain victory:

tioaal Democrat, | make the follow
ing proposition to the Breckenridge
and other Douglas electors in Ten
nessee. The proposition is made
for the sake of tie union of the
party, for the following as well as
other cogent reasons: lst. To defeat
Mr. Lincoln, the Black Republican
candidate, because he represents a
sectional party, and is unsound on
the Is ues involving the Censtitu-
tional rights of the South. "a. To
defeat John Bell in Tennessee, be-
cause his triumph in the State would
be slaneer upon the sacred mem-
cries of The hero who row sleeps at
the. Hermitage, aud Of Grundy and
Polk, whom he denounced as ''aike
Idestitute of pri vate aud public
principles" Sd. To the end that We
have united party in the State,
TO do battle in The future, as impor-
tant State elections are jus. ahead.
Here, then, is the proposition:
That We have but one Democratic
Electoral tickle. in Tennessee, and il
that ticket should be elected by a
Union Of the Breckenridge and
Douglas men, then the vote Of the
State shall be cast as follows: lst
10 be east for Mr.. Breckenridge pro-
vided it will elect him; but il it will
not elect Mr. Breckenridge then tC
be cast for Mr.. Douglas provided Il
will elect him. II, however, tht
vote of Tennessee viii elect neither
and thereis no electionby the Elec;o

to be cast, first, for Mr. Breckinridg'
provided it will put him into. tbC

House over MIR. Bell. &

count nj remarkable rapid cure

Mr.. james S. d. Tatem, residing
near and well known iu our city:
A carpenter, while engaged few
days ago, in pulling down an old
house, aud in removing some Of the
rotten iimbers near the ground, was
bitten by ratIlrsnake. In few
moments his Goger WIS swollen to iour
.timesits natural size, anda red streak
commenced running up his hand aud
wrist. A deadly languor came upon
him, and bis vision grew dim, clearly
lin dicaiing that the subtle poison that
was coursiug through bis veins Was
rapidly approaching the citadel Of
his life. But remedy was tried,
merely by the way OF experiment,
which, to the surprise OF all present,
acted like Il charm, the component
parts Of which were onion, tobacco,
and salt, Of eqnal parts, made into
a poultiee and applied to the wound,

Henry Clay O DisunioniSt.

from the reasoning OF OR Oppo-
sition friends, they make Henry Clay
a disunionist. In 1887 Mr.. Clay,
then member of the Unised States
Senate, introduced the following res.
olutioa' into :Aat body.
"Resolred, That any attempt of
Congress TO prohibit slavery in the
TsIrItories of the United States
would create a serious alarm anS just
would be violation
OF good fifth toward the inhabi ia is
of such Territory who have removed
thereto with their slaves, and be.
Cause, when such Territory shall be
admitted into the Union as State,
the people thereof shall be entitled to
decide that question erclasipely for
MemSelpss." . =
So it seems that Mr.. Clay utter
ed the same sentiments twenty-three
yesrs ago that the Breckenridge de-
mocracy are nov advocating, and for
which they are denounced as 'disuu-
ionists. Do they also repudiate MIR.
Clay?

considerable tact in the effort to
make il appear that Breckenridge has
some strength in the North

A Mean Trick.
Some Of the more unscrupulopa

currency to a statement that they
must know has not a particle of
truth in it. They say that "Mr..
Breckinridgs, in bis speech at Lex
ington, on the 5tb, gives it up Mat
he will be defeated for the PIesi-
dency.' Here is what they assert
be uttered on that oecasion:--
But | am content withahs hoiicrs
which have been heaped upon me by
my State ant my country, ard |
look forward with pleasure to the
prospect l.have Of serving my coua.
try in the Senate Of the United States
for the next six years.
The above gaibled extract from
Mr.. Breckinridge's late speech, will
read quite different when you get
the true version. Then let US have
the whole trdih, and see what he did
say. We wish the people to read it,
SO that they may know how the fats
are, and that they may know, fur.
Their, how much reliance for truth.
fulness ought to be placed upon the
statements of some Of the anthem
oeraiic presses. Here is what MI.

homeopathy.

Among the inventions and improvements
with which the day is 90 rife, that made by
Prof Humphreys is not among the least.--
With all tho superiority Of tho Homeopathic
System Of Medicine over that Of the old
school IN its freedom from danger aud the
ease and pleasantneas with which its medi
cnes may be taken or given TO children, II
still remained an intricate system for the
people to use. From the fact that single
medicine is given at dose, aud each appli-
cable to only certain symptoms, large
number OF medicines and a large book OF
directions became necessary in order to
their use And what is worse, these direc-
tions ars of the most nice and discrimina'
ting character, 80 that often the longer one
looked and studied, the more puzzled BIO be'
came, nor could any amount OF learned lum,
ber, in the way Of Domestic Manuals, ex.
plain the matter.
At this precise point tho discovery Of Prof.
Humphreys comes in. He ascertained, from
repeated experiments, what had been before
denied, that certain medicines in this sys-
TEN might bo harmoniously combined In n
single remedy which possessed, IN good part
the advantages Of each Of its ingredients,
and upon this principle forms series OF
specific Remedies for each OF the more
Common diseases or ailments. With these
all uncertainty and embarrassment in giving
The remedies is avoided, and they may be
properly administered, by any person OF orr
binary intelligence. His improvement is
certainly valuable and one which throws
the benefits OF this beautiful and efficient
system into tho hands Of the people, and
must prove blessing to thousands. His
specifies are spoken of in high terms by
those who use them, and we can readily
conceive must prove valuable addition to
the comforts Of family.
