Choice Language.

The following choice morsel we clip
from the Pine anil Pain, newspaper
published at Boston and New York by a
pack of white and black Abolitiohists:
eff freedom can only prevail through
the agency of vengance, so be it; if the
Temple of Liberty can only stand securely
on the corpses of slaveholders-so be it;
rather let the white race be swept from
the face of the earth, than endure the
perpctuity of negro bondag. We would
hesitate at no conceivable atrocity; ace
,coutd spare nether parlor nor cradle,
neither age nor Se1-did we believe that
they must perish in order that Negro sla
very might perish with them."
sg- There, if that is not equal to the
language in use among the most rabid Sc
cessionists we are not judges ofthe matter.
We are afraid that our dark colored friends
and their white allies, are taking advan.
tage of the times and sprouting little too
fast, and may be Dipped by an untimcly
frost. 1t is worth their while to consider
over the matter at all events. The Dem
ocracy will be about when they commence
their hellish work.

Candidate for Congress.

Hon. HENDRIcK B. WRIGHT, of Lu-
zuerne, is the Democratic candidate for
Congress, at the Special Election to be
held next Saturday, (June 22d. through
out the Twelfth Congressional District.
He was not the first choice of the Democ-
racy of Columbia, but now that he is
nominated, it is the duty of every good
Democrat-and such we are-to support
tho nomination and redeem our District
by the election of competent gentleman
and an acknowledged statesman. Our
Republican friends having virtually admit
ted that they had no competent Union
candidate in their ranks, by coming into
the Democratic party for a suitable stand
ard-bearer in this important canvass, we
now respectfully invite them to face the
music of the Union, and manfully vote for
Co. HENDRICK B. WRIGHT, for Con-
gress.

AGE AND DEBILITY.-As old age comes
creeping on, it brings with it many attend.
ant infrmities. Loss of appetite and
weakness impair the health, and want of
activity makes the mind discontented and
unhappy. In cases where old age adds its
influence, it is almost impossible to add
vigor and health, aud although many
remedies have been tried, all have failed =,
until BGRHAVE'S HOLLAND BIT
TIERS were known and used. In every
case where they have been employed, they
have invariably given strength and res.
torcd the appetite. They have become a
great agent for this alone, and are used by
many people who are suffering from loss Of
appetite and general debility. In cases Of
long standing chronic diseases, they act at
charm, invigorating the system, thus Civ
ing nature another opportunity to repair
physical injuries. See advertisement il
another column.
