MRS. WINSLOW,

COMMON SENSE rules the mass of the people,
whatever the misnamed and misanthrope philoso-
pliers may say to the contrary. Show them a good
thing let its merits be clearly demonstrated and they
will not hesitate to give it their most cordial patron
age The masses have already ratified the judgment
of physician, concerning the virtues of HOSTEL
TER'S B1TTERS, as may be seen by the immense
quantities of this medicine which usually sold in

greatly superior to all other remedies yet devised for
diseases of the digestive organs, such diarrhoa

Strumous or Scrofulous affections are the

1t the Commonwealth of Virginia should be

Many conservative men who have heretofore
treated the apprehensiops Of disunion with evity,
now admit their serious fears, and are almost dis
heartened at the prospect. Let them not give
way to any feelings of dependency. They
should never despair Of the Republic,'' for
while there is life there is hope.

PREAoH1Na TREAsoN.-The Montgomery (Al-
abama) "Mail," the home organ of Yancey, con.
tinues to advocate Breckenridge and treason. 1t
declares that "euea,y true hearted Southermer is
of opinion that the only hope for the slave sec
ton is instant Secession on the election of Lin
coin ~ 1t appeals to the Southern men thus:
"Out with your banners men of the South =
The beggarly abolition crew will soon be upon
you! Your safety lies in your own brave hearts
and strong arms"
People of Virginia, consider well the Revolu-
tionary utterances of the Breckenridge leaders,
and then determine, as patriots and honest men,
to vote for Bell and Everett.

will be used in the Gulf States to effect, ''uni-

How TO DEFEAT L1NooLN-When we hear
an intelligent man express his fear of Lincoln's
election. and at the same time express his de-
termination of voting for Breeknridge, we doubt
his sincerity. If Lincoln is elected, he will owe
his election to Jno @. Breckenridge and James
Buchanan. The man who really desires to defea
Lincoln-if he understands the true state of af-
fairs-will vote for John Bell.

Liberty and Union,
Now and Forever, One
and Inseparable!

People of Virginia, Look to Your Interests.
We are confident, says the Richmond Wing,
the good old farmers and hard listed mechanics
of Virginia-the honest masses of all parties and
occupations-will not succumb to the mad and
ruinous counsels and projects of the Yancey-
Breckenridge faction. If they do, they will long
lament it. We now warn them in time to be-
ware of Disunionism, as it WILL as certain as God
reigns Supreme, precipitate them into difficulties
from which they will never extricate themselves
After you enter the vortex of Disunion your
happiness is at an end. The halcyon days of
peace and prosperity will have flown, and misery
will meet you on every hand. Desolation will
overshadow our happy country, and squalid
poverty will sicken the heart of every patriot.
Already the bright hopes of our country are
BUNDLED at the prospect of Disunion. All de-
partments of trade and industry have felt the
shock, and the arm of industry is completely
paralyzed. Your produce you are unable to
sell, the banks have refused oil accommodations,
people are selling off their property and desert
ing their Sunny South, in whose soil is buried
those who were near and dear to them. 1t is
the Seceders fellow citizens, who have brought
about this great agitation WHICH now shakes to
the very centre the fair fabric of the American
Government.
Our heart bleeds when we attempt to look in
to the future. We are deeply impressed with
the Importance of this Government, and we know
that the causes are not sufficient to give rise to
civil war and its train of horrid consequences.

The PATRIoTs INQUIRY.-At the present mo-
ment the earnest inquiry of every true patriot is,
which of all the candidates now before the peo-
pie is best calculated, by bis present attitude and
by his past ACTS, to allay the unnatural fever of
the country, and to bring peace and prosperity
out of sectional strife? If the question is left to
the cool, dlspassionate, and unpreiudicec judg
ment OF each voter, reason, with its unerriDg
finger, will point to John Bell as the man for the
present crisis He is no trading politician, en-
tering into intrgues TO buy the favor of one Sec
ton OF the country or to avert the preiudices of
another section. His whole political life has
been one of devotion to the Union. His record
is without blot or stain. 1t was made, not with
Interior views of popularity, bat it is the record
OF life devoted to our country, and, upon every
page bears the impress Of a statesman guided by
the integrity of his purposes and the purity Of
his principles. John Bell is the only true Union
candidate in the field. Ali who are in favor of
the Union, and believe the question Of its con.
tinuance to be above sll other questions, will
vote for John Bell.

and your compensation will be your country

pay that man ever worked for. Earn it.

DUTY OF CONSERVATIVES conservative
men of Virginia and the South have plain
and manifest duty to perform, a duty which they
owe to themselves, to their country, to the
world, and to posterity. That duty ii to resist
the treasonable and fend-like designs of the Dis
unionists by casting as much Southern strength
as possible against the disunion candidate for the
Presidency There is nothing the Disunionists
so much deprecate and dread at this time as an
exhibition OF conservative strength in Virginia
and the rest of the slayeholding States, and such
an exhibition should and must be the prime pur-
pose of all who would save the Republic from
swift and utter rpin. If there ape any patriots
in the Breckenridge party of the. South, as we
know there are, let them come out at once from
a party, to which they ought never to have be-
longed, and go for the Union, the Constitution,
and the Enforcement of the Laws. Let them
cast speh vote against the Dsunion candidates
as shall appal the boldest Disunionist in all the
land.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1860-11-06
The Union Forever.

We clip the following from an able commune
cation published ia the Alexandria Gazette
The Bell and Everett party deny that an cleo
tion entirely constitutional forms sufficient
ground for the disruption of our confederacy.
even though the party elected may hold views
hostile to its own. 1t believes in battling to the
last, iE order to maintain the purity of the Con-
sttution, the integrity of the Union, and the en-
forcement of the Laws And which is the more
manly part; secession, or remaining in the Union
and demanding at all hazards our constitutional
rightsa We know our rights, and knowing, let
US dare maintain them. With nearly all the
powers of the government for US, it is not be-
coming US as men to be frightened from our
compact. If we lose the executive, let US con-
tinue the fight with more energy in the halls of
Congress. If worsted there, and deserted by the
judiciary, then we shall have exhausted all the
peaceable means of the contest, and will be per-
fecty ustiable in resorting to the stern arbitra-
ment OF arms, and appealing to the God OF bat
ties. If danger threatens, it is certainly more
manly to meet it than to run away from it, espe-
cialy when retreat does not better our condi-
ton.
Up to this time, the South has received eve
rything it has demanded OF the Federal Goue7,7a
naeaat, and in no instance has 1T oppressed u.s.
When this happens, then it will be time to with
draw, or to demand the withdrawal of those
who have proved traitors to their contract
Whatever others may think OF do, let the voice
of Virginia be loud for UNION. She has too
deep an interest in its preservation, to be rashly
led astray by the wild notions of sister State.
Occupying, as she does, a middle position, her
welfare and happiness is bound up in the Union.
and she should rebuke, with all her power, ag-
erosion or dissaffection, wherever it is found
And how can she do this with more potency
than by giving her vote to that party which was
called into existence tor this very purpose--the
object and aims OF which are to give peace and
quiet to our distracted country.
Disunion may be lightly spoken of, but it is
much, very much, to be feared that, like the
wrath of Achilles to Greece, it will prove the
source of .sunnumbered woes" to our country.
Again, we say, whatever weight Virginia has
let it still be thrown on the Union side of the
scales. And if, hereafter, circumstances should
force her to take different position, it will be
source of qualification to know that it was not
by her encouragement, but in spite of every pat
riotic and honorable effort to the contrary.

A FACT TO BE THOUGHT oF.-There is one
great fact which stands out in bold relief in the
present critical condition of public affairs, which
should engage the serious attention Of every cit
izen before be deposits his vote on the 9th of
November, and that tact is, that the Democratic
party have had sway in this country, with the
exception Of few years, since their organiza-
ton, and they have shown both an incapacity
and an indisposition to give it peace and quiet
They have Systematically agitated the slavery
question since it was question they have bro
ken down every compromise that has been a.
greed upon in relation to it; and ara now agita-
ting it with more fierce vehemeuoe than ever
before They cannot or will not, either or both,
settle it, and If they were to triumph now, four
years hence the agitation and excitement would
be even more intense than it is at this fearful
moment. Let all the friends of the Union, and
of its peaceful anA prosperous continuance, think
Of this.-R5ch. WAig
