ss% One Of the humanitarian move
ments of our times although little known
as such, can hardly be ovrr-cstimated in
its Importance upon the well-being Of our
widely scattered communities. The popu,
lation Of the American States is in many
sections so sparse. that skilful Physicians
are hardly available to them. Vast mum
bers Of our people, are obliged to employ in
sickness, such medical relief as they can
hear Of from each other, or indeed any they
can get from any quarter. Hence arises
the great consumption Of Patent Medicines
among us, greater by far than in any Of the
Oil countries, where skilful physicians are
accessible to all classes Unprincipled m n
have long avallrd themselves Of this neceS.
ity, to palm off their worthless nostruns,
until the word has become synonymous
with imposition and cheat. One Of our
leading Chemists in the East, DIR. AVER, is
pursuing course which defeats this inqui
ty. He brings not only his own. but the
best skill Of our times to bear, for the pro.
duction Of the best remedies which can BE-
made. These are supplied to the world, IN
convenient form, at low prices, and the
people will no moro buy poor medicines
instead Of good, at the same cost, than
they will bran instead of -four. The inevi
table consequence Of this il, that the vile
compounds that food Our country are dis.
carded for those which honestly accomplish
the end in view,-which cure. Do We
ovcr-estimate its Importance, in believing
that this prospect Of supplanting the by,
word medicines, with those of actual worth
and virtue, is fraught with immense conse.
quence for good, to the masses Of our peo-

PHoroGRAPBs.-in the advance Of the
arts, and science in our country, none have
kept face with the wonderful, and beau'-

we can liken them. Now, they are brought
out with the sharpness Of outline, and dis
tinctness Of shape Of the finest steel en-
craving. For some time past, we have
noticed in Peavey's Ambrotype rooms, the
faces Of many Of the ladies' and gentlemen
Of McGregor, transferred to paper, in a
manner by no means damaging to the ap.
pearance Of the originals. The curte o.
si'es, also are great rage, and the family
that cannot have q Photographic Album, is
hardly the style, you know. Well, Peavey
has the material, the place, and the ability
to meet any requisitions which our citizens
may make upon him, and We trust they
will secure the shadow ere the substance
gets tanned. Call over Frenchs Jewelry

DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTIONS. The Demo.
cracy of Lee county have recently been in
Convention and laid down an unexceptiona.
BILE platform Of principles. The first reso.
luton denounces "Abolitionists and Seces.
sionists' and the last urges reduction o.
the public expenditures $50 far as is con.
sstent with the maintainance Of the Con.
stitution and the Union" The other three
resolutions are as follows:
"Resolued, That the Constitution, the
Union aud the Laws Of the United States
must be enforced, and the rebellion agains,
them put down, and that it is the duty of
patriots to sustain every measure necessary
and proper to that end.
Ktsoloed, That the Constitution Of our
fathers shall be maintained inviolate-as j,
's.-with all its compromises with its glo-
rious memories Of the past, and precious
hopes Of the future.
Resolsstl, That the Union as it was, be
restored, so that the rights Of the several
States and their relations with the general
government, and to each other be prescrv.
ed; and not stripe erased or star blotted
out Of the national banner"
Where is the man who will oppose the
spirit Of these resolutions3
