Invigorating Tenic. prepared from
Aromatic Bitter Vegetables, com
bined with Pure Spirit, improved
and perfected by one Of our venera-
bic and eminent physicians during
practice Of thirty years, in the latter
part of which he used those Bitter
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
purifier Of the blood. By continuing
the use Of a wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for
few weeks, they will afford convin-
cling proofs Of their great medicinal
properties, and under the influence Of
their health-restorins qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enjoyment Of a 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
fammation from the face or body as
they progress in the publication fthe

Viewing them simply as bever-

Mr.. II NJ. Crookes: Dear Sir
In accordance with yeur request of
: the 10th ultimo, I have subjected
} sample Of your Invigorating Aroma
tic Vegetable Stomach Bitters to a
: careful analysis and find them to be
composed Of the essence of Aromatic
Bitter Vegetables of ancient fame in
the medical world: yet l have never
before seen them so well blended or
rendered so pleasing to the seSse of
taste.
= The Spirit used in their prepara-
ton l found to be perfectly pure, and
y as free from deleterious element as
, that procured from the natural juice
4 Of the grape.
= You doubtless had the assistance o1
+ experienced medical skill in perfect
ing so excellent a combination, as i.
rarely occurs that the. bitter princi.
+. pie, possessing so much medicinal
y worth, is rendered so palatahle.

proper that the members Of this body shall
be bound by oath or affirmation TO the sup

Rssolrsd, That in addition 10 the oath
prescribed by the Constitution, except SO
much as is Of necessity abrogated by the
adoption Of the ordinance 81 Secession,
each member OF this body shall take the

D9r The crowd Of office seekers at Wash
ington is said to be immense, but all of one
color, and of that kind that heretofore have
had to leave their hat, at the door when
they went in. Times arc changed and
these gentry that used to take back seat
are now in the dress circle, sporting kid
gloves and lorgncttcs, like white folks. If
the tclcgraphic dispatch from Washington
last week. that "Jeff. Davis and his lady
would soon be dispensing their hospitality
from the White House, meant nything but
mere bosh, these high strung office seekers
from the North Pole would do we'll, to be
in hurry. When Virginia sccedcs, Lin
coin will scuttle out of Washington faster
than he did out of Harrisburg Then he
will be secessionist.

that have already taken the oath, we see

IT. J. Nash Esq. of Dallas. We are pleased
to learn that DR.. Throckmorton is slowly
Vlearning "the steps" and bids fair to BIZ

Mr.. Hancock is the only member of the Leg

until he does so, is not a voting member.

Deg- The New York Times and Tribune

may The New York Times and Tribune
try to justify old Abe's fight by trumping
up monstrous stories of an attempt in In
diana, to throw the train of the track
and another to blow Up tho car in which he
was riding. These veracious papers state
with an air of sincerity, as if they believed
their own tale, that n grenade was found in
in carpet bag, lighted, on q seat near Mr..
Lincoln's and that but for its timely dig
covery in another moment, tho whole car
and it's inmates, would have blown "to shat
ters" Who it was that saved old Abe and
thereby immortalizcd himself, the world
will never know, for we venture to assert
that Mr.. Lincoln has not friend in the
world who would have dared To seize that
lighted grenade and thrown it out of the
window. Such doeds of lofty disintcrest-
cdness do not belong to that class of men
and politicians who call him "fricnd."
These arc only sample of the sensation
items about Abcs TRANSPORTATION; and got
up to justify his retreat and shield him in
a measure from the just indignation of the
people, for bringing disgrace upon their
for every nation or party, how
ever callous, and prone to moral obllquity,
would feel Inundated, to see their Ruler
and Commander-in-Chie of their Army
and Navy, running away from scarc-crow
"a mere "raw head and bloody bones" af-
fair, too ridiculous even for any sane man
to entertain seriously for one moment, run
ming off to protect himself by flight, instead
of stopping to face the music, and fight like
General Jackson.
The grenade affair won't take-nobody
believes it; and as to throwing off the train
in Indiana, why they voted for Abe, out
there, and can do with him just as they like.
But nobody will hurt him.

the representatives elect Of the people. 1t
is idle now to speculate upon what the hero

unhonorcd, and the victim of his pcrvcrsc

assiduity, he has shown somewhat of the

cried not with pain, Gen. Houston finds the
glory of his auto da .fe not so agreeable, and
he sings out an appeal to the dear people
the same nomen nutabiie that has Just de-

SORROWS of poor old man, whose trembling
