FLATULENcY.-The most common
cause of this difficulty is indigestion. When
the natural fluids of the stomach are secreted
in an unhealthy state, fermentation rapidly
takes place, and the stomach and associated
viscera become distended with gas, giving
rise to frequent eructation or belching The
quantity Of gas thus accumulated is often
enormous. The treatment for this disorder
should be careful diet, healthy, well-ceoked
animal food, and use Roback's Bitters and
Blood Pills the same as for dyspepsia

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION

We observe that some misunder-
standing exists as to the manner in
which the delegates to the Philadel-
Ptlla Convention are to be chosen
We have before us the official circular
of the Washington Committee, in
which it is suggested that they be cho-
sen by the "electors of the several
States and not by the Governors
thereof, as the telegraphic reports first
had it. The latter would be, for many
reasons, impracticable Our PROPOSE
ton is, that public meeting be held in
each county on or before the 18th inst,
at which delegates should be elected
to general Convention at Jackson on
the following Wednesday, tie 25th.
There will not be sufficient time for
District Conventions. Let each coun-
ty send up delegates, and let the dele
gates from each Districts, when they
get here, select two of their number to
represent them. The General Con-
vention could then select four dele
gates for the State at large.
The call for the Philadelphia Con
vention meets with very gener-
al favor. Let us carry out the pro
gramme as indicated by the origina-
tors of the movement. We believe it
will be the simplest, best and most sat
isfactory mode of securing a full dele
cation from Mississippi.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.--It appears that
in England, as well as in the United
