Never Surrender

Fellow Democrats, have patience,
stand fast by your principles, calmly
endure the fippant reproaches and
Misrepresentation with which par
tizan demagogues, or it may be,
honest but weak ard unstable po-
litical friends assail you. When
the storm of vituperation shall
have passed, and the noisy, preten-
tious patriots of the day shall have
shrunk away from the dangers
which now impend over US, the
last hope of the nation will rest
upon our courage and tirmncss,
grounded upon an intelligent po-
litical faith, which will be equal to
the terrible ordeal, and the saliva
ton of your country will be
wrought out by your own hands.
Cherish your political principles,
preserve your organization, patient.
ly struggling for the right, and
prepare for the hour when the
work of establishing the Consti-
tuition, and restoring the Union.
will, by common consent, be COM
mitted to your hands.-Er.

If PHYSICIANS WILL USE IT, WHY IS IT
NOT SAFE FOR THE PEOPLE?

CINCINNATI, NOV. z.
MEssRs. A. L. scovILL Il Co.
Dear Sirs,-The public generally are fully
aware of the thousands Of remedies for dis
eased lungs, under the titles of sarsapa-
rillas, Pills, Flasters, Liniments, etc., that
are daily brought to their notice through the
newspapers, by way of advertisements. My
object in writing this note for publication Is
to induce the public, or at least those who are
afflicted, (if they will use patent medicines,)
TO use one that contains articles Of real use in
pulmonary diseases. am conscious that in
so doing am acting most unprofessionally,
and derogatory 10 the interests of medical
science and the regular practitioners of medi-
cine.
The medicine to which refer is DR.. Halls
Balsan for the Lungs. have prescribed it
in Ia, ge number Of cases, and always with
success. One case in particular TO which
wish now to refer, was given up by several
physic ans who had been called in consulta-
ton with myself. The patient had all the
symptoms Of confirmed consumption, such
as cold night sweats, hectic fever, harassing
cough, with continued pain in the lobe Of the
right lung, attended with severe diarrhea
He commenced Immediately to get better by
the use Of the above-named medicine, and
was soon restored to his usual healthl /
have also found DR.. Halls Balsam the most
valuable expectorant for breaking up dis
tressing coughs and colds that have ever
used W. d. WRIGHT, NJ. D.

timely use Of some proper remedy.
Dr. HALk's BALsAM strikes at the root Of the
disease at once, and such is its speedy effect
that any one using it freely according to di-
rectionS for twenty-four or forty-eight hours,
and not entirely satisfied with its merits,
may return it and receive back their money.
The most distressing cough is frequently re-
leved BY single dose, and broken up in o
few hours time. The afflicted do not have
TO take bottle after bottle before they find
whether this remedy will afford relief or not.
The public have been imposed upon by
remedies recommended by certificates which
have always originated from some unknown
source. We believe that medicine possess
ing real merits will effect cures wherever il
Is used, at home as we'll as abroad. This is
no pareeoric preparation, but one which il
used in season will save the lives of thou
sands.
II has effected cures in numerous cases,
where the most skillful physicians in this
country and in Europe have been employed,
and have exercised their skill in vain. Cases
which they have pronounced incurable, and
surrendered as hopeless beyond a doubt,
leaving the patients without a single ray To
eniiven them in their gloom, have been cured
by DR.. Halls Balsam, and the "victims Of
consumption are now vigorous and strong
as the most robust among US. And these
cases are not isolated ones they are numer-
Gus, and can be pointed out in every COM
munity where this most unrivaled remedy
has been tested.
Be slow, then, to believe the oft-repeated
story abeut the lungs being gone; or rather
let no such apprehension induce you 10 give
up. Act upon the principle that while there
Il life there IS nope. You can never be 90 low
that you may not trust, humanity speaking,
In Hall's Balsam. More than one, nay, hun
dreds has it brought almost from Heath to
life, when all else had failed. Give, then,
this powerful but harmless remedy trlai.
Call on the agent and get pamphlet gratis,
The treatise on consumption alone is worth
the price for the medicine. Ysu will find GER
tifcates of physicians in Cincinnati, and Of
others whose cures have been Effected here at
home, whore they can be found.

ception Of Secretary Seward, who is probably
smiling on one side Of his face and looking
doelul on the other, all the members of the
Cabinet are doubtless very glum over the re-
suits OF the elections. We have no sympathy
for these mourners, and are heartily rejoiced
that the tactics Of Chase and Company are 10
thoroughly used up. For our good, honest,
patriotic President we have this word Of sn-
couIagsment however: Let him cheer up.
Our word for ii, he will receive more practical
support from the conservatives just elected, in
pursuing the firm, constitutional course which
he has marked out for himself and the coun-
try, than he ever has from those radical abol-
tionists who have tried TO delude him with
falsehoods, and whose pressure upon him has
been SO painful and 80 dangerous to the coun-
try. The President Is now freed from tkese
revolutionary and fanatical schemers, and can
60 on in his glorious work Of restoring the
Union. Let him be assured that he shall be
heartily sustained Those who would persuade
him otherwise are already convicted Of false
hood, and mean only to deceive him. The radi.
cal abolitionists were defeated, the constitu-
tional President was victorious, in the recent
elections. Now press on the war and save the
Union.

BUCHANAN FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR
The movement to make ex-President Buchanan
the next United States Senator from Pcnnsyl-
vania IL most ridiculous and imprudent. The
imbecility of Buchanan involved us in this war.
Had he but possessed a. much courage in his
whole body as General Jackson had in one
hair Of his head, he would have taken the ad-
vice Of General Scott, and served the South
Carolina sccessionists as Jackson served the
nullihcrs, and we should have had no farther
trouble. Buchanan is unst for any Office Of
responsibility and trust, and especially for so
honorable an Office as that Of Senator Of the
United States. We would sooner see old Simon
Cameron occupy this position; for Cameron,
unlike the imbecile and treacherous Buchanan,
has some plsck, some capacity, some franknsss,
and some fidelity TO his friends.

WooDBuRy.-The Breckenridge democracy of this town refused to unite with the Republicans in union ticket, as has been the custom for the last twelve years, the Republicans having been all the while in the majority, at the late town election. Both parties then nominated separate tickets, and fought out the question. The re- suit of the election was that the Breckinridges elected Robert Peck, Union Democrat town clerk :; George P. Allen, Breckinridge democrat, selectman i; Chauncy Atwood, democrat, one of the assessors {by agreement and Rod Atwoo d and John Warner, Bree kinridge Democrats, Haywards. The remainder of the ticket for all the town officers elected were Republicans.
 It is reported that the democratic caucus, passed certain semi.secession resolutions, which will probably appear in due time in the New Haven Register. It is believed this is the first instance in the history of the town, when such thing has been deemed necessary, but grea are the marvels of modern democracy.

THE VICTORY at Corinth has apparently been rendered a most complete one, through the vigor with which it has been followed up. The enemy in their flight from Cornth were intercepted by Gems. Ord and Hurlburt on Sunday, and after seven hours hard fighting, they were driven back five miles across the Hatchie River, toward Corinth, with the loss of two batteries, about 300 prisoners, and many small arms. Gen Rose crans, who was at Corinth, was immediately mo- ti6ed by telegraph to be ready for the enemy, and on Monday notified Gen. Grant that the rebels had been totally routed, throwing away everything in their fight, and that they were be- ing sharply pursued. Gen, Rosecaans' dispatch is dated at Chevalla, which is six miles west of Corlnth, on the railroad to Memphis. Gen. Hurburt was also on track of the enemy. The rebel army of the Southwest is in fair way of annihilation.

TIE British steamer Dispatch was lbelec some time ago in a civil suit for $30,00O and placed in the custody of Deputy United States Marshals Rasbeck and Withereli, by Marshall Murray. In consequence of yellow fever break ing out among her crew, the officers were obiig- ed to leave the vessel, and by order of the mar shal, they left her under the charge of the reve- hue cutter, the commandant of which was not to let her escape. On Friday night Capt. Benj Buck of the Dispatch, went on board the cutter and told her commandant that he was go- ing to sea and they might fire at him and be d-dAthat he'd have to sink him and twenty. six souls beside, before he would stop. On Saturday morning the Dispatch got up steam and proceeded down the bay. /, The cutter fired three or four shots at her, which she did not heed, when the fort was signaled. Two shots were fired at her bow from Fort Lafayette, the second almost grazing her.
