Dear Str-In an interview with President Lin
coin to day, / introduced the subject of your
"Paschall's Fever and Ague Mixture, . informing
him of the manner IN which had become &C.
qualnted with it, recounting the tests to which
had been subjected, and pointing out the names
OF those who recommended II, several OF them,
men of the highest character, and of national
reputation and, suggested, that If, by his di-
recton, 1t could be put on the supply list of me
dlclnes for the army, it might be found extremel
useful IN contributing to the health of the troop
operating in niasmatIc districts.
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov
Pollock, and Geo. H. Stuart, (extenslvely known
as President of the Christian Commsson,) were
particularly indicated, and especial attention
called to the letter of the latter. Mr.. Lincoln
looked over tne several letters, dwelling some
what on that of Mr.. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served, that the ''Mixture'' appeared to be hg My
recommended, and by men who do not do such
things on slight grounds and, after a pleasant
remark in his peculiar vein, added, that 1t would
not be proper tor him TO make positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would 60 as far
as he thought 1t was proper Tor him TO 60. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote the back OF
them and signed the recommendation, copy Of

keep, and present 1t to the Surgeon Genera.
/ suggest that you dismiss your dIfhdence, as
to advertising your 'sMixture,' and cease to hesl-

the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,

The Boilers Excuse.

WE have heard it remarked land we
endorse the observation, that the excuse
for boiling Captain Chalfan's nomina-
tion Is about the weakest one ever got
up in behalf of movement of disor-
ganization. According to them, the
ticket is to be broken, and the regular
candidate for Representative voted
down, simply because he did not attend
the Senatorial Conference as n 6orer for
Colonel Tate! Just think of that, fel-'
low Democrats, and then reflect whether
such paltry, miserable excuse was ever
before heard of in justification of bolt.
We have published several documents
showing most clearly that even this eX-
cusc is not sustained a. point of ohjec-
ton to our candidate; that though he
was detained from attendance at the
Conference by sickness in his family, he
sent two of his friends on the first day,
and two Others on the second day of
the conference, to use their influence
with the Montour Conferces to induce
them to vote with Columbia County.
after voting for their own man and it
was not his fault that this result did not
take place. Yet Colonel Tate had the
hardihood in his manifesto Ito which
he obtained the signatures OF honorable
men by Misrepresentation TO state that
no person attended the conference in
behalf of Mr.. Chalfant!
Another fact, better known in Mon
tour County than in this, ought also to
be stated. ltis this: That Mr.. Chalfant
and his particular friends never urged Il
Senatorial candidate from Montour
and at their County Convention, before
Conferees were chosen, they insisted
that Mr.. Dean, the Senatorial candidate,
should agree that his Conierces should
vote with this county after voting fol
him; and they obtained the promise
We say, then, that there is no reason
whatever, but plain injustice, in taking
vengeance upon Captain Chaliant foi
any personal disappointment felt in
this county over the senatorial nomina'
ton. WehaHe proved, in other articles
that giving the nomination to Sullivan
County was not an unreasonable thing
but even if ii were so, Captain Chal.
flnt and his friends wero not in fault
by reason Of any act or omission Of
theirs. 1t is clear, then, that thi,
pretended excuse for opposing the Rep.
resentative nomination is both INSULT
cient and false.
