Hon. NJ. Ryan.

We hear from all quarters that our
Congressional nomination has taken
like wild-ire, and reliable information
leaves no room for doubt that Judge
Ryan will be elected by a large major
lity. We hope he will follow up his
happy commencement of the canvass
by vigorous and effective campaign.
The Radicals give him a wide berth as
he goes along. -. -

libel on the South. We have it stated
by Northern medicine vender, that in
certain villages and cities in the South
the town bell rings at certain hours for
the inhabitants to take their quinine,
every person clattering his teeth ont
of his head with Fever and Ague.-
This statement, 80 outrageous, we IN
toto ignore. Our agent, who has just
returned from IN extensive tour
throughout the South. says, wherever
the justly celebrated Texas TOXIC Sr-
RUIZ has been introduced, no bell ever
rings for Fever and Ague; for, besides
being preventive it acts as sure
and permanent cure it every instance
where it has been tried. Mansfield &

fraternity The speaker then described the condition or
the Spanish Republics and asked why they were so far
behind the great Republic OF North America IN cVlza-

Colonies brought with them the Bible and civilization,
that mt no distant day, Spain, from the Can,
tabrean Sierras to the Pillars OF Hercules, would
be brought under the influence OF the Gospel
The Rev. Intrigue Riley, the pastor OF the church. de

Manuel MatamOras, who by hearing dis
course in Gibraltar, his native town, was in-
duced to search the Scriptures and subsequently became
u distinguished missionary among his cOuntrymen.
The young subsequently arrested and cast into
prison. where he remained for three years during the
reign OF the exOueen Isabella leaving prison. he
went TO France where he abOred IN the duties OF the
ministry until his death. In concluding, the speaker
Churches, with 5000 wOrshppeTs.
Resolutions adopted expressing deep gratitude to
God for the present movement for Christian liberty in
SPAIN and thanking the people OF the United states for
their sympathy with the cause OF spanish-American
eyangelZati0n.
The concluding address was made by Mr. Sherman,
who after abiding Ia the imprisonment OF Calico spoke
OF the territory occupied by descendants OF the
Spaniards on this continent lie SAID that III many OF
those countries If criminal have money he can laugh
Justice by feeling his cOnfesSOr who Will give pass
port TO Paradise and freedom The speaker concluded
by euoeng the for the Spirit which they
had shown In aiding their friends IN other parts OF the
continent TO obtain knowledge Of the truth
