VERDICT OF THE FACULTY.
sTIMULANTS INDISPENSABLE AS ME-
D1C1NES.-The most distinguished physi-
clans in the United States have recently
been placed on the witness stand, and have,
with one voice, declared that pure stimu-
lsnts are valuable medicinal agents. This
decision OF the faculty refers especially to
medicated stimulants, of which the purest
and best known is HOSTETTER'S STO-
MACH BITTERS. It's basis is the alco-
holic principle OF the finest rye grown in
tho United States, and its herbal ingre-
dients comprise the extracts of largo
number, Iumber Of plants, barks and roots, pro.
duced in various parts Of the world, and
all noted In the countries to which they are
indigenous for their powerful sanatiye pro-
perties. AS an invigorant and tonic. tho
value OF the Bitters can scarcely, be, over
rated. Henceits extraordinary effect in
fever and ague and intarmittents and re-
mlttcnts OF every type. It's anti-bilious
properties are marvellous Persons of BIZ
nous habit, by. taking small quantity
once or twice day, may completely change
their constitutional tendency to liver dis
ease, and escape all the unpleasant conse-
quences which arise either from the undue
sensitiveness or the unnatural torpidity of
the hillary organ. Chronic constipation is
eradicated thoroughly, and in q very short
space OF time, by smal doses of this whole
some regulator, taken night and morning:
and for all the disorders which are super
induced by exhalations from decomposing
vegetable and animal matter in the streets
OF ciies, or the miasnla of swampy dis
tricts, 1t is, when taken as protective and
preventive medicine, the most reliable Of
all safeguards. iS july 81 t6

publication. It is the result Of patient
and thorough consultation among many OF
OFF ablest and most influential gentlemen,
who have been in attendance upon the U.

We have no doubt that the plan sugges-
ted, and the arrangements adopted, will
meet with the hearty approval of all the
Conservatives of the State:
sThere being very large number oil
persons, and some from nearly every part
of the State, in Raleigh during the present
week, it was thought well to have an inter
change of views among Conservatives in
respect to the condition of political affairs.
Accordingly, an informal meeting was

MR. SCHEYCK,S INTERFERENCE.


Mr.. Schencll objects to the theory that the
bills which Mr.. Seward chooses to incur tor
the purchase of icebergs, reserved seats at the
aurora borealis, abandoned trapping-routeS'
used-up whaling grounds, extinct volcanoes
and speculative guanO-beds, are all prcsenlaOie
TO the House of Representatives as debts o.
the nation, and payable by the people. ms Is
a singular ecccntricity on the part OF Mr..
Schenck What is a Secretary Of State

tend auctions, and buy up door-plates

good bargains that are to be had dog cheapf

to Jefferson from the purchase OF Louisiana
and TO Monroe from the acquisition of Florida,
and to Polk from the rayislment OF Mexico
and with all these illustrious examples before

poles, aud the other to the tropics, with the
sentiment of the gallant Oysteman:

far South as the new continent, and hence no

Secretary Seward is said toibe exercised con-
corning the NOrth-POlar continent, discovered
by one of our enterprising whaleship captains,
and is trying to get information rs to the
resources of this new region. He il a little
bothered with the latitude and longitude,
which, as stated in the first accounts, locate
tho continent a hundred miles from the
ocean, in Western Siberia; but then there was
a mountain seen afar OFF, IA high mountain,
possibly volcanic, with a Ibg crater through
which the North Pole must naturally protrude.
If once we had that pole, the American
Eagle would perch thereon, and his lightning
glance would finally fill the Secretary's idea
whichever way he looked would be south; no
more ungrateful north no more fanatical east
no more repudiating west, but all balmy and
sunny south. BY AL means let the Secretary
have the mountain and the pole, and then, with
the north star over his head, the aurora bore
