For RESTORING Il PRESERVING

Prepared from Aromatic Bitter Herbs
UNDER THE USPICIES or An

Are an agreeable and palatable
Invigorating Tonic, prepared from
Aromatic Bitter Vegetables, com
bined with a Pure Spirit, improved
and perfected by one Of our venera-
bic and eminent physicians during a
practice of thirty years, in the latter
part Of which he used those Bite,
Herbs, with unparalleled success, in
the treatment of internal diseases and
for purifying the blood.
They stimulate and regulate the
functions of digestion; impart vigor
and tone to the stomach; strengthen
the system, and are unequalled as a
purifier of the blood. By continuing
the use of a wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for a
few weeks, they will afford convin-
cling proofs Of their great medicinal
properties, and under the influence of
their health-restoring qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enjoyment ola sound body and mind
will soon be attained
From their purifying influence,
the skin becomes steadily smooth and
bright, and they will gradually re-
move every trace Of eruption or in
tlaulnation from the face or BODY as
they progress in the publication Of the
blood.
Viewing them simply as bever-
age, they equal i'll richness and deli
cacy of flavor the finer grades of
choice Champagne Wines-the bit
ter principle being only perceptible
when felt in the good work of purify
ing and invigorating.
For the use of old and young of
both sexes they are admirably adap-
ted, being grateful to the taste; Of an

Why should there not be a patient con
fdence in the ultimate justice of the peo-
ples Is there any better or equal hope in
the world? In our present difficulties, is
either party without faith of being in the
right? 80
If the almighty Ruler of Nations, with
HIS eternal truth and Justice, be on your
side of the North, or on your side of the
South, that truth and that justice will sure.
ly prevail by the Judgment OF this great
tribunal-the jndgmert of the American
people.
By the frame of the government under
which weive, this same people have wise
lygiven their pnblicservants but little pow
er to do mischief, and have, with equal
little to their own hands at very short ln-
tervals
While the people retain their virtues
and vigilance, no administrations. by any
extreme of wickedness or folly, can very
seriously injure the Government in the
short space OF four years.
My countrymen, one and all, think
calmly and well upon this whole subject.
Nothing valuable can be lost by taking
time. If there be an object to hurry any
Of you in hot haste to step which you
viii never take deliberately, that object
will be frustrated by taking time, but no
good object can be frustrated by it.
| Such Of you as are now dissatisfied still
have the old constitution unimpalred and
on the sensitive point, the laws of your
own framing under it, while the new adj
ministration will have no immediate pow
er If it wonld, to change either. Ii it were
admitted that you. who are dissatisfied,
hold the right in the dispute, there still is
no single good reason for precipitate ae-
ton.
Intelligence, patriotism, christianity and
firm reliance on Him who has never
yet forsaken this favored land, are still
competent to adjust, in the best way all
our present difficulties.
In your hands, my dissatisfied country.

issue of civil war The Government will
not assail yor.
You can have no conflict with out being

| solemn one to preserve, protect and defeno
| it.

mies-though passion may have strained, il
must not break our bonds of affection
The mystic clouds of memory, stretching
from every battlefield, and every pati lot :

this broad land, will yet swell the chorus
of the Union, when again touched, as surely
they will be by the better angels of our ma
ture.
