vention," and also for delegates; and that this Con-
vention was called 10 nominate candidates for dele
gates to said Convention. He believed that the de-
sign Of the secession leaders so to manage that

to said Convention and hurry the State out of the
Union before the could find out what they
were doing therefore, that extreme vigilance should
be used in the selection of unwavering Union and
conservative candidates.
Addresses OF like import were delivered by Messrs.
D. w. c. johnson, John A. Craven, Col. Zebedee
Rush, John B. Troy and others; and all urging as a
matter of primary Importance, that the nominees,
whoever they might be, should thoroughly canvass
the county.
William j. Long and John B. Troy, Esqs, were
put IN nomination as candidates for delegates and
their nomination unanimously confirmed by the
people assembled, without distinction of party !;
whereupon Messrs. Troy and Long came forward
and addressed the meeting, accepting the nomina-
ton and agreeing to neglect the calls of their pri
vate affairs and devote their time to the interest Of
their country.

Cure of Ague and Fever.

Cure of Ague and FeVer.
yuJHERE Is NO DISEASE TO WHICH THE HUMAN
u body is liable SO universal, dreaded general
y fatal as Fever: it appears in different countries and
climates under different types and characters In this
country where its annual return looked for with anxiety
and apprehension it usually assumes the bilious type
Another species of fever prevalent here, and which,
said leaves subsidies altogether is the AH
tumnal Intermittent, Ague and Fever which, not
fatal yet very distressing Its characters effects and
system be ascribed the languor asstude
and general prostraon which characerizes its invasion
to which might be added the arrangement Of the mixed
functions of the liver stomach and intestinal canal It's
therefore quite manfest-in fact, it is well known, that
Ague and Fever lay the basis of consumption OF the lungs
chronic affection of the liver and Spleen dyspepsia and
unrequeny dropsy and when this state of the
yscea becomes established there is constant tendency
to relapse from slight causes and when thus comp
Gated with those constitutional diseases their treatment
and cure becomes more difficult
Common sense teaches that the cure of Ague and Fever
consists in shortening the duration Of the psroysm and
preventing its return The first is to be accomplished by
depicting the bowels relaxing the skim &c the second,
by the prompt application of such medicines as are cacu-
lated restore the deranged functions and give healthy
tone to the nervous system
The Tonic Mixture offered possesses all the qualities
requisite to effect the second indication The FIRST dose
generally checks the disease and one bottle never fails 10
effect cure healthy reaction takes place. the appetite Is
restored the system becomes nygvrated and the pa
tent begins to feel surprised at the rapid uaDson from
state Of morbid suffering to that Of progressive recovery
These effects have been experienced by s who have useo
IT, which could be shown by numerous testIm9nas;n
