EDITORS PATRIOT:
l am certainly very much obliged to my
friends, in different parts of the State, who
have been good enough to urge me as can.
didate for State Treasurer, and inasmueh as
1 have been frequently spoken of in that con-
nection. will be pardoned for saying that
my business engagements, as well as other
considerations, will not allow me to seek, or
desire, the position.
Understanding the present Treasurer, W.
G. McGregor, Esq, to desire a reelection,
knowing him to be an able officer and clever
gentleman, and strongly questioning the po-
Icy of change in any of the State depart
ments, at this time, | can see no reason why
one ought to be made in the Treasury de-
partment. / fear such a change would be
unwise, and am therefore unwilling that my
name should be longer used in the connection
referred to. 1 shall not be candidate.
JOSEPH III. THOMPSON.

The SEoUESTRATIoS ACT.-The Richmond
Wig of the 10th states that JNo. ii. GILNER,
Esq, has raised in the District Court, now
sitting in that city. an important and deli
cate question. involving the Constitutional
ty of the Sequestration Law. He contends:
First-that the Confederate Congress had no
power to pass such law; and seeondly-ad-
hitting the pOrer, the bill on its face is clear
iy unconstitutional.
The Wing adds, "these questions will be
freely argued in the Circuit Court, in short
time. They are important and deeply inter-
esting to the public. 1t is proper that such
questions should receive the deliberate con-
sideration of the judicial tribunals, and be
fairly Considered by every one"

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, a corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of It. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which 1t may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by rnercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the yenereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending Z" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation" indeed
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, ~
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children" stssf...4.g .tf . 2
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles in the glands, swellings and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupton, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, 80 that scrofulous consttu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous conf
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; ccnse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofilous contamination; and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
Ono quarter of all our people are scrofulous I;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in-
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
yigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in
