SEwARD's LATE SPEECH.--Mr. Stewards late speech
in the Senate the slavery question is not as bold
as some Of his former ones but is bitter, hypocrtl-
cal, and insidious He has not gone quite so far as
on former OCCASIONS but he has taken nothing back
His devotion to the Union is most refreshing. His
love- expressed for the people of the South is as IN
sdious as it was unlocked for.
1t is evident from the whole tone of the speech,
that he is alarmed at the results of the John Brown
raid and the main object of this late effort OF his
is to retain moderate black Republicans in the ranks
and make sure of his chances of the nomination at
Chicago. This, too is the secret of Greelys adVo-
cacy of Bates, of Missouri. Greedy is really for
Seward and favors Bates only to prevent boltlng IN
advance from the Republican ranks.
Judge Douglas and Col. Davis, of Mississippi re-
piled with much force and eloquence to Mr. Seward.

of the best men of the old Wing party are now
Democrats. These Know Nothing leaders, like
those of the old Wing party. flourish most in mi

~ 1t will be seen by the following from the
Muireesborough SOuthron, that that paper takes no
steps backwards in relation to Mr. Smith The lit
tie piece of advice which the Southron gives to the
Register is both opportune and spicy. When will
our ncighbor lecture again? The SouthrOn says:
"The Raleigh Register regrets that his cotempo-
rary the Albemarle SOuthrOH has thought proper to
hold up to cenSurc the Hon. W. n. ii. Smith,
whilst he was being voted for for the Speakership
I'VE feel very well assured" says the Register that
1t our cOtempOrary had been cOnverSant with all the
circumstances attending that most exciting occasion
that far from cenSuring it. the .S0uthr0n would
have approved of Mr.. Smiths conduct" The Regis.
ter will allow us to say that were fully "conver-
SAINT with all the minutia of that memorable con-
test, and the article we wrote in regard to Mr.
Smiths course during the balloting for the Speaker
ship referred to, written under full knowledge
of all the circumstances so far Mr.. Smith himself
could throw light upon it, and we have not one
word to retract.
Mr.. Smith may have acted in perfect concert with
the South Americans during the balloting Cor
Speaker, but that vast majority of the American
Wings in the first Congressional District asserted
by the Register approve Of his course, in authoriz-
ing Democrats to make statements IN Congress- that
he did not and would not make himself on the stump
while he was a candidate for Congress, we know
from our own personal knowledge, not to be fact
Whilst the SelESacriticng patriotism of the Amcr-
cans and their high regard for our Representative
Mr. Smith as man, may induce them to overlook
his course they do not approve of it and they regret
that he felt 1t necessary to have authorized such
statements to be made and sent out to the country
Now, in conclusion, we would0remind our cotem-
porary, the Register, of that old adage which reads
thus: Those who live in glass houses should
mind how they throw stones" The Register has
assaed an old veteran in the Wing cause, the Hon.
j. NJ Morehead more yehemently than we have Mr.
Smith, and therefore we think that lecture to US
comes with very bad grace from our contemporary,
and therefore would simply suggest to our State
Organ that it would be we'll for him to attend to
matters which more intimately concern him, and
allow us to do the same without being dictated to-

THE closing years of life are often rem
dcred wretchcd by ailments which are
trif1ing in themselves and are easily cured
if taken in time. Affection of the liver,
stomach, and other organs concerned in
digestion, are the most frequent. They
naturally make the sufferer nervous, IRA
table and complaining, and relative and
friends are forced to bear the brunt of
their ill-humor. The use of Hostetter's
efficient remedy for this evil, it will not
only strengthen the whole physical organ
ization, but entirely cure the most obsti-
nate case of indigestion, Diarrhosa, Dys-
EMERY, and Liver Complaint. The first
physicians in the country are loud in
their praise of this preparation. Another
recommendation of the Bitters is that it
is SO pnlatable to the taste that it may be
used as beverage. Sold by all druggists.
