Homestead.

By this time the people have seen the new
Constitution. and there is no feature in it,
perhaps which will call forth such general
ommcndation as the liberal homestead pro-
vision-setting apart 81 900 realty and $500
personally for the protection of honest labor
and permanent citizenship.
The homestead has proved great bull
wark in all the Northern States. Nowhere
has it worked to the injury of any commu-
nifty, but has universally attracted immigra-
ton, wealth and labor. .-...s
Pauperism is prevented and the jails are
emptied. Unlike European nations and
governments, where few only possess the
lands and houses thereon, here in free North
Carolina the fertile acres will be retained in
the hands of an honest yeomanry-the de-
scendants of those, who have bequeathed
constitutional liberty to those sons who have
re-established and are determined to retain
it forever
We say to the people of North-C Carolina.
can you vote against homesteadss Can you
vote against Christianity If you can, do
SO, vote against the Constitution-vote
against honest labor and the Union of the
States. Will you do it? We do not be-
lieve that you will. .....

Without good digestion there can neither be
bodily comfort nor mental enjoyment.
Between the stomach and the brain there IL Q

being is willing to endure, when the means Of

racks his body and disturbs the mind with name

drug store and procure supply of HOSTEL

No phase of Dyspeptic has ever yet resisted
the alternate, tonic and anti bilious operation OF
this potent vegetable specific 1t literally regen-
crates the lethargic stomach rouses into heal.
thy action the dormant liver puts to flight the
dismal fancies that beset the mind; gently re-
leves and regulates the bowels strengthens the
enfeebled nerves. restores the appetite, and
makes, as it were, NEW CREATURE of the des-

Ladies who suffer from indigestion have only
to take small doec of this pure vegetable cor

emption from the pains and penalties Of weak
stomach and that perfect functional regularity,
which but few of the sex uninterruptedly enjoy.

with dispatch, twelve dozen Allcock's Porus
Plasters. Our daily experience confirms their
very superior excellence. At this moment of
writing man applies for one, who, by entangle-
ment in the shaft of machinery, had both his
legs broken, spine severely injured, and was for
nearly year entirely helpless. This man found
relief very soon by the application ola plaster to
his spine. He was soon able to work, and now
he labors as well as ever. He would cheerfully
pay $ fol single plaster If they could not be
had at lower rate am surprised that surgeons
do not make use Of these perforated plastes to
the exclusion of all others, as their fiexibillty
and adhcsiveness greatly in advance Of all
other plasters with which am acquainted;
while the perforations peculiar to them rendered
them greatly superior to all Others for ordinary
surgical uses. Knowing the plasters to be so USE
full, haveno scruples that my sentiments should
be known.

The Wilmington Journal will inform his
correspondent 4 CONCORD, ? that lie is will
full and malicious liar. IDlEaAlf II +,
The whole affair has its origin in the per-
sonal malice Aof'a man of Infamous charac-
ter. A man who has. perured himself in Il
court of justice once before, and whose mon
ey and friends alone saved lnin from
the whipping post; man who has been de-
nounced as perjored wretch on the public
streets; a man who has been guilty of sub.
ornation of perjury and iwhowas Only saved
from infamous punishment and utter ruin by
the collapse of the Confederacy and the con-
sequent suspension of the Confederate courts.
He may yet have to answer for tais crime
A coward and brute, who, while sneaking
out of the army himself, was guilty of inhu-
man cruelty in abusing Union soldiers who
fell into his hands while escaping from rebel
prisons, and who afterwards narrowly es-
capped the vengeance of the Federal soldiers
for his crimes. A man who is now held
over to answer a charge for an infamous
crime; and who is guilty Of other crimes
which will come before the proper tribunal,
IN due time. But infamous as he is, he is not
more so than the hoary-headed old villain
who uses him for tool. Now the instru-
ment is in trouble, and the instigator goes
free. am somewhat accustomed to these
malicious attacks. 1t is pot the first time
malicious SANDER has vented its foul venom
against me; it is not the first time that IL
bells have been published againt me. l tri-
umphed then; l shall triumph again. All
the helish passions of human naeure have
been arrayed against me- My office has been
watched by spies I have been attacked with
violence in the day and in the night
have been warned time and time again of
meditated violence. Wealthy and respect
able" citizens of Cabarrus have declared
that the man who would take my lie should
not suffer while they had dollar in their
pockets. In order to intimidate persons
from joining the Union Leagues, which l
was organizing, it was insitliously and in
dnstriously circulated by the same villain to
whom I have alluded, that was holding
meetings for the purpose of assassination
Not satisfied with all this and having failed
to injure my personal character or destroy
my influence, these internal demons dived
down into the sinks of infamy and dragged
up PERJURER and PROSTITUTE to
attempt to break down young man just
struggling into life. have only one word
now to say, and that is this, it the vile
charge brought against me had the slightest
foundation in truth and was not purely
false and malicious, should never have al
lowed my name to be placed where it now
stands To my friends would say, that il
cannot convince them of the truth of my
statements and of the infamous and mali
ciOuse character of this attack upon me,
shall consent to have my name stricken witt
disgrace from where it stands.
