of martyr. His complaint was disease Of the hip

physicians of this place and of New Orleans Con-
scious to the last he expressed fears of DEATH and
his Borrowing parents sisters and friends have the
consoling reflection that he has been removed from
suffering to that brighter land where pain and sorrow

SOUTHERN STATES.

When the pure medicinal restorative now so widely
known as WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, was in
roduced into the world under the Endorsement of four
thousand leading memb of the medical profession,
some twenty years ago, its Proprietor was well aware
that it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to
all new and useful preparations. He, therefore, en-"
deavored to invest with the strongest possible safe
guard against counterfeters, and to render all at
tempts to pirate difficult and dangerous. It sub
mtted to distinguished chemists for analysis and pro-
nounced by them the purest spirits manufactured
Its purity and properties having been thus ascerained
samples of the article forwarded to ten thousand
physicians, including all the leading practitioners in
the United States, for purposes of experiment. cir

of the result accompanied each specimen. Four thou
sand of the most eminent medical men in the Union

could be placed on the ordinary liquors of commerce

The following are few of the testimonials in favor

Mr.. Udolpho Wolfe, % Beaver street, New York:
Dear SRI feel bound to say that regard your

deserving of medical patronage. At all events, it
IS the purest possible article Of Holland Gin hereto

PoRrEn:
of he suffers from 'Ostracism' now he
labored hard to secure perpetuation of
political disqualification and prescription
then. We are inclined, therefore, to receive
his story with n speck of allowance. He
has been political Ishmael ever since he
went TO Virginia, and the chances are even
that the oStracism he complains Of is
like the persecution under which Maynard
suffers In Tennessee. IL means that he
stands but little or no chance Of areslection
TO Congress"
PORTER is no representative of Virginia.
He Is despised, not hated, by nine white
men out Of every ten in his district. He
was elected by negro votes. We do not
suppose that he received the votes of a
hundred white men out of the six or seven
thousand such in this city. The entire
amount OF taxes paid by the men who
elected him to Congress, including Federal,
State, and municipal taxes, would not begin.
