secrete not only this virus but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation. and produce violent constitu-

stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, the instinct Of our

rather does what is of service to those sub
jort to this Infection III taken in season it expels
it from the system it is absorbed and thus keeps
those WHO use II free from its attacks: keeps the
system, IN health althangh exposed to the disease
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety OF affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such M Hemittcnt
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache. or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Farers, Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout Blindness

less the intermittent type. This AouE CURE !"
removes the of these arrangements and cures
the disease.
This it aceomplishes by stimulating the excre-
tories to expel the virus from the system /; and
these organs by degrees become habited To do this
their Office of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term acciiniotafiof Time may accomplish the

reason to believe this surer as well as safer

caused by the miasnatie infection, than any other

important advantage to the public, which is, that
il is cheap as well as good.

Conditions of CItizenship.

A correspondent ofthe Montgomery (Ala.)
Nail makes some suggestions as to the con-
ditions on which Northern men should be
permitted to remain in the South. He says:
Let the citizens of the South demand a
general EXODUS letno Northern man remain
among US who has not given hostage for
good behavior. e, let US insist that he
shall have married Southern wife, or, at
the very IeIst. that be owns Niger. To
all who fail to give these pledges. let the
cry be-AvAUNTl PREsroI
The Nail comments as follows on the sug-
gestions of its correspondent. These men
appear to be preparing the hearts of the peo-
pie for despotism of the meanest character:
NORTHERN MEN-"PRECAUTIoN."- give
to-day the article of "Precaution." tho we
differ with our Correspondents, in some re-
spects, very seriously. 1t is true, that il is
of the first Importance to our section, to be
freed from every interloper who is opposed
to our Institutions. "Precauiion," however
suggests tests which we think will be found
to be insufficient; which would in some cases
allow the gully TO remain, and work great
injustice, in other instances 10 the innocent
There are NortberD-born men who town ne
groes," whom we would not trust in any col
lisiOn with their native section; there are also
Northern born men whom we would not
trust, although they may have married
Southern wives And yet, there are Other
Northern-born men, who neither hold ne
groes, nor have married Southern wives
whom We Icould trust with the institution of
slavery, itself If man came here from
the n Drth, ten, fifteen or twenty years ago;
if during that time, he has conducted him
self as true and loyal citizen-made his
home among us-participated 10 our adversely,
as in our prosperity-reaTedh his family here
and had in the long years of his residence
no breath of suspicion raiscd against him
we ask our correspondent, if such man
might not be safely trusted, as a citizen of
the South?
No people can prosper who disregard the
requirements of JuStiee. 1t would be injustice
to diScredit our old Northern born citizens
men who have been with us for many years
and who expect to live and die here. True,
some such NAV not be as anxious as we, who
are 'to the manner born,v for secession; but
when the great struggle comes, they will be
with us. EEesss7 zEcz s-sEzf i
This is a delicate question but thus much
we are free to say-and we have said it often
that every Northern-born man. of question:
able creed on the slavery issue, ought to be
| expelled. But. we would prefer to decide
every indivldEal case on us oUn peculiar merits.
In this way only can justice be melted out.
But, to trust, the day of Northern migra-
| ton to the Sonth is passed. Those true men
| who are with US, no matter where born, must
| be regarded as citizens in all respects equal
/ to those who are native; the bad and doubt
| full must be expelled; and the conventions of
/ the several Southern States must look 20 il,
that hereafter no citizenship can be acquired,
except under the most salutary regulations,
| by an emigrant from the land of our enemies.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN7p-Under the above
caption the Louisville C0ariz Of yesterday
calls attention to the following paragraph
from The Chicago Iiaes. 1t is scarcely nee
essary to say that the paragraph is afabrica-
= ton throughout. Every sentence in it rela-
tive to Mr.. BELL Is false. Mr.. BELL has been
at home since the election attending to bis
business, has not been to Illinois, and no
messenger from LINCOLN has been despatched
to him:

s1stes that Hon John Bell, of Tennessee,
passed throgh that place for the North, a
few days previously. It was reported q
week or two since that messenger had been
dispatched by the President elect on secret
mission to Mr.. Bell; but Mr.. Bells visit,
which, under the circumstances, must be to
Mr.. Lincoln, seems to have been so privately
made as to have escaped the scent o. even
thu hungry reporters for the Eastern press,
who infest Springfield What the object OF
Bells visit is, can only be guessed at Ii
NAV be for the purpose of consultation, and
most likely Is IL may be that a seat IN the
new Cabinet Is to be rendered Mr. nall, and
this visit is intended to bring about prelim-

Daily Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1860-1862, 1860-12-12

Now, as the figures foot up 74524 in each
case. it is morally certain that the votes were
cast for the same person in each instance,
and that but for clerical or typographical err
rors, they, too, would have been d, clared
by the Governor TO be elected; aud there can
be no question that a plurality of the voters
of Virginia intended that the whole electoral
vote OF the State should be cast for Bell ard
Everett. Does not fair play, therefore, re-
quire that the vote should be so cast? We
conceive that no just man can doubt it, and
are certain that if it was election that adj
mitted of contest, it would be decided in
favor OF the contestants.
Under these circumstances does not fair
play require of the Breckenridge Electors
who, by these accidents, have the returns, to
allow the will OF the people to be complied
| WITH
This they can do without difficulty; they
need do their feelings no violence by voting
for political opponent; all they have to do
is to remain away from the meeting of the
Electors, and under the provisions of the
Constitution, the Electors who are present at
ten O'Clock, A. NJ, TO morrow, will ill the va
cancies and the Bell Electors will choose six
/ Bell men to cast the vote.
Will fair play prevail? "Nous perTonsu-
