Mrs. WINSLOW, an experienced nurse andfe-

mothers her Soothing Syrup, for children teeth
ing. Which greatly facilitates tho process oil
teething, by softening the gums, reducing all IN
hamations-will allay all pain and spasmodic ac-
ton, and is sure to regulate tho bowels. De-
pend upon it mothers, il will give rest to your
selves, and relief and health to your infants
We have put up and sold this article for over III
years, and can say in confidence and truth oil II,
what we have never been able TO say OF any 9th
or medicine-never has il failed in a single IN
stance, TO effect cure when timely used. New
en- did we know Of an instance Of dissatisfaction
by any one who used it, On the contrary all are
delighted with its operations, and speak in terms
Of commentator of its magical effects and med
ical virtues. We speak in this matter ichat zoe
do knoto, after ten years experience and pledge
our reputation for the fulhllment of what we
here declare. In almost every instance where
the infant is suffering from pain and exhaustion,
relief will be in 10 or 20 minutes after the syrup
is administered. This valuable preparation Is
| the prescription of one Of the most experienced
| and skillful nurses in New England, and has
| been used with never failing success in thou
sands Of cases. 1t not only relieves the child
| from pain, but inyigorates the stomach and bow
els, corrects acidity, and gives tone and energy
to the whole SYSTEM. 1t will also instantly re-
lieve Gripping IN the Jotoels and l0ind cholic, and
overcome commissions, which, if not speedily
remedied, end in death. We believe il to be the
best and surest remedy in the world, in all cases
of dysentery and diarrhoea in children, whether
it arises from teething, 'or any other cause. We
would say to every mother who has child suff-
| ering from any of the foregoing complaints, do
not lei your prejudioes, nor the prejudices Of 9th
ers, stand between you and your suffering child
and the relief will be sure-yes, absolutely sure
| to follow the use Of this medicine, If timely
! used. Full directions accompany each bottle

NINTH DISTRICT.

EDITOR TIE STANDARD:-
DEAR SIR: Having learned that Messrs Gather,
rof Burke, and Sharpe, of Iredell, have announced
themselves candidates to represent the 9th Con-
gressonal district in the Confederate Congress sub.
ject to the decision of Convention, l would most
respectfully suggest to the people of the district,
that Convention Of the conservatives be held in
the town of Wikesboro, on the first Saturday in
October next to select from the numerous aspirants
suitable man to represent u.s. This will alay par
tzan strife, prevent discussions, and bring about
unity of action very desirable in this the darkest
hour of our countrys trial. Heated partizan can.
vases for the purpose of inauyurating old party
conflicts, should be and will be deprecated and dis
countenanced by the patriotic people of North Car
olina. l look upon the old parties as having un-
dergone complete humiliation, and the parties here.
after to be formed will be organized npon new prin-
cipes The same issues never will arise that divi.
ded our people under the OLD government There.
fore, under existing circumstances, think it the
duty of the people Of the 9th district to run but
candidate so that we can the better lend all our
energies to the prosecution of our struggle for
Southern independence, free from the distractions
incident to party contests.
