INPECTINE,
The Persian Fever Charm,

ENOR the prevention and cure of TEvER AND
Il AGUE AND BILLious FEvEEs. This wonderful
remedy was brought to the knowledge of the pres
ent proprietors by friend who has been a great
traveller in Persia and the Holy Land.
While going down the river Euphrates, he expe-
ricnced seDere attack of Fever and Ague On
discovering his condition. Of the bo atmen took
from his person an Amulet, saying Wear this and
no teoer viii touch yon." Although incredulous as
to its virtues he complied and experienced mme-
dtate relief and has since found it an efectual pro-
lection from all malarious complaints.
On further investigation he found the boatman
attributed it to miraculous powers and said that it
could only be obtained from the Priests of the SUM-
Sometime afterwards, the gentleman in conversing
with Priest, obtained from him the secret of its
preparation, and ascer;ained where the medicinal
herbs were found Of which it was compounded
The wonderful virtues Of this article have induced
full belief in the minds Of the natives in the mi
rsculous healing powers Of their Priests
Since his return to America, it has been tried
with the happiest effect by several ladies and gen
tlemen Of high character, who have given it the
most unqualified appreciation. This remedy hav-
ing been a specific in Persia for hundreds of years
for the prevention and cure of Fever and Ague an d
Bilious Fevers-is now offered to The American
people.
1t will be sent by mail, prepaid, with full d-
reetions for use, on receipt Of one dollar.

The Trniton.

Ths.Camden (Alabama) Register, Of re-
cent dasss has the following beautiful reas-
ons for supporting Breckinridge and Lane
We ask those gentlcmcn who are halting
between the support of regular nomina-
tions and disorganizstion. to read it to re-
fleet ON it, and then decide as men should
who seek after truth:
We run up or flag, to-day. for Brsckinridee
and Lane the Democratic nominees for President
and ice President. We hsve unwayeringly con-
cuded for the last years that it would be better
(for all conccrned) to make two or moro distinct
governments Of the Territory comprising the Unit
ed States OF America, aud that such will ultimate
~ be done, there can be no sort Of doubt but it
saSYid De done with fairness and justice to every
ty to which We Ieicne and n beliesn that the par
carry out this measure, and secure II her Tg,.s,
VS. intend 10 battle for its principles the fullest
extent of our stilith."
And SO remarks the editor Of the Lu-
zerne Uaion, Breckinridge and Lane arc
the only persons among the five nominees
that you can find "reliablo to carry out the
measure" Ha! What measure ITO
make two Or more distinct governments,
comprising the United States of America !"
Would to God we had the stuffed shirt Of
Old Hickory in the Chair of State, that
such traitors as this could be hung in glib
bets. And this damnable doctrine Of de-
stroying the Union. is to be preached in
open day, and ihe treason and the traitors
applauded And have not we fallen on
| strange times when all this cannot only be
tolerated by Northern men, but that the
abominable doctrine should find supporters.
In Jackson's time men dare not talk
treason to the government Now in the
weak degeneracy of official corruption, it
Is regarded as an inducement to promotion.
| And so. MIR. Camden Alabama Register,
you will support Breckenridge and Lane
because they are =" reliable '-because they
will carry out this measure make two
governments out of one ! A Daniel truly
has come to judgment: There are Just
such men as you in Pennsylvania, Mr. Cam
ded Alabama Register. Gen. Yancey.
B:igadier General Rhett, ard Col. L. NJ.
keitt have recruiting sergeants in this State
enlisting soldiers to destroy the Union-and
their new recruits are asking concession and
compromise.
No compromise with traitors The men
who fought at Bunker Hill and Monmouth
ank at Saratoga and Yorktown, did not
stop to. compromise with the enemies OF
of their country, nor will. the true and lion
hearted democracy Of Pennsylvania. One
government is enough for them they do
not want two or more One is lust
enough to hold and take care of thirty
millions OF frcemen. Mr.. Camden Alaba-
ma Register, you talk treason. and Jack
son. living. would have hung +" you twice
as high as Haman."

John Forsyth on the Dissolution of

w. S. Sanford, pestifcrous fire eating
leader of Alabama, has written letter to
John Forsyth, editor of the Mobile Regis
ter. the leading Democratic paper in that
State, inquiring of him what he would do
if Lincoln is chosen President. Mr.. For
syth responds as follows
1T is briefly this Ii Black Republi-
cac president should be elected by purely
sectional vote, the South resisting and the
northerners uniting against us, this is no
Union for shareholders to live in. l should
so with Mr.. Yancey for it's disruption,
Z" halter OR no " halter" But if, in spite
of the loyal efforts Of million and halt
of northern democrats, who stand fast to
the regular nominee of the national dcmoc-
racy against the Chicago nominees, the lat
ter are elected through the deliberate bolt
ing and trcachcry of the men at the South
who claim to be its champion, par excel-
lence, then l say the case not only does not
Justify rebellion, but these =" champions" +"
as the authors of the calamity, should be
held as traitors, first to the South, in com
passing this election, and second as traitors
to the Government, for taking advantage
of their own wrong they rebel and in
both cases should deserve to be hung as
high as Haman.

consistency, ability and honesty
"The Governor spoke of Mr.. Douglas
as unquestionably the most intellectual man
now in the United States Senate-as a
statesman of firmness, integrity and con-
sistency, and that the charges against him
of being renegade. an apostate, etc., werc
unfounded and unjust. He stands to-day
where he always stood on the territorial

PUNCrUAlLrY.-Ah! ! that's the word
punctuality! Did you ever see man who
was punctual who did not prosper in the
long run. We don't care who or what he
was-high or low, black or white, ignorant
or learned, savage or civilized-we know i!
he did as he agreed, and was punctual in all
his engagements, he prospered, and was
more respected than his shiftless neighbors.
Men who commence business should be
careful how they neglect their obligations,
and break their word. A person who is
prompt can always DO accommodated, and
is, therefore, "lord over another mans
purse" as Franklin would say. Never
make promises upon uncertainties. AL
though the best of men may sometimes fail
to do as they would. the case is exceeding
ly rare, He who is prompt to fulfil his
word will not make promise where it is
not next to a moral certainty that he can
do as he agrees. If you would succeed, be
punctual to the hour. Return borrowed
money the moment you promised. In all
things if men arc thus prompt in business
affairs, they are generally SO in every depart
ment of life You never know them to be
late at church, at the polls, or to pay the
printers for advertising. A promptness in
everything characterizes them.

THE OPENING OF CONGRESS.
Long before the hour arrived for proceeding
10 business, both Halls were Il filled with
members, who seemed to greet each other with
the same cordially and good feeling that we
have heretofore witnessed on similar occasions.
Certainly there was not the slightest open man.
ifsstatiun Of that alienation Of feeling between
members from the different sections, which is
supposed to prevail. .no,'nst'a u. -.
--IAsladiss and esntlsnsn's galleries Of both
Houses were. crowded with spectators.
At'tvelve o'clock, the Senate was called to
order BY the Vice President and the Throne of
Grace addressed by Rev. Dr. Gurley, Chaplain.
After the usual preliminary business, Mr.. Cling.
man moved . recess Of half an hour, where
upon Mr.. Seward announced that he understood
that the Presidents annual message would not
be sent in to-day, and moved an adjournment;
which was carried-the Senate having been in
session about one hour. .'
The House wss called to order at the same
hour by Mr.. Speaker Pennington, when fer.
vent and eloquent prayer was offered up by
Rev. Mr. Stockton, Chaplain. The roll was
then called by States, and one hundred and
ninety.6ve members snswered to their names.
All the South Carolina members answered, lex.
cept, Mr.. Miles, who is said to be on his way.
Only one member from Mississippi, (Mr. Sin.
gleton,) and one from Louisiana, Mr.. Bou.
hgny,) answered, nor did either of the Repre-
sentatives from Texas answer. There is no
reason to suppose, however, that any of the ab
sentees contemplate remaining absent.
Members then selected their seats by lot;
after which, without transacting any other bust.
