As the Congressional Convention for this
district has been postponed until the goth of
next, there will be no use in hold
ing a Comfy Convention at this place on the
last Saturday in August for the purpose of
appointing delegates
The State Convention is to be held Oh
the 18th of September and on the first
Monday in that month the County Conven-
ton can then select delegates to attend the
State Convention the Congressional Con
vention, the Senatorial Convention, and, if
deemed necessary, nominate some suitable
person to represe t the county in the Low
er Branch of the State Legislature.
In order to save trouble, time and ex-
pense, we suggest that the delegates to the
State Convention be appointed to act as del,
egates to select candidate foc State sena-
tor. Our Senatorial District is composed of
Hardin, McNairy and Hardemau, every
one of which will be fully represented at
Nashville on the 18th of September. There
the agents Of the people Of the District
mentioned can select the choice Of the peo-
pie as well as any where else. While at
Brownsville, we met and conversed with
Col S. L. Warren, Of McNairy, on this sub
.ject, and he did not hesitate to endorse the
proposition above made.

COUNTY CONVENTION!
Attention Voters !!

As will be seen from a document signed
by Geo. J. Stubblefield, Chairman of the
Democratic and Conservative State EXecu-
tive Committee, and dated Nashville, Aug
6, 1870, a State Convention is called to meet
at the Capitol on the 18th Of Septic mber
next, for the purpose Of nominating a can
didate for Governor.
We urge upon the people Of Hardeman,
every one who is a friend to those who op-
pose radicals and radicalism in every par
ticular, to consider it bounden duty to
meet in convention at the Court house, In
Bolivar, on the first Monday in September
and select delegates to attend the State Con
VenUiOn.
Remember, the radicals claim that they
are completely organized, that they are in
a most happy condition to make the race for
Governor, and that they will put their
strongest man IN the field.
Our duty is plainly before US. We must
beat the plundering thieves at every point
People of Hardeman, we have done it and
can do it again.
Let the watch-word of every honest man
be: "Flt no radical an office The radical
party has been and is a curse to the Nation
and State
Go for white men, not mOngrels, State
Rights and equal taxation.
GU know what the radical party is. Y on
desire its total defeat. Then come to the
County Convention and see that competent
gentlemen of unmistakable anti-radical
views are delegated to represent Hardeman
county Come up, all of you who are will
ing to push the three plank platform tc

Our N ext Governor.

Knowing and feeling their strength, the
anti.radicals of Tennessee can calmly look
out upon the political field and make their
selection of a candidate with every assur-
ance of complete success in the November
election. Who will get the nomination of
the Nashville Convention on the 18th of
next month is the question For our part
we can see no one more fitted in qualities
of both head and heart than General w, a.
Qarles, of GAINESVILLE, as the standard bear
er Of the People, aud it does US good to
know that thousands upon thousands of
his fellow-citizens are turning to him with
hope and faith Many influential journals
have placed his name at the head of their
columns, and are urging his claims upon
the people in unmistakable terms While
we admit that there are able men aspiring
to the Office OF Governor, we claim Gen
Quarles as our first choice; he won the ad-
miration of all who knew him before
the war; his devotion to his country and
his principles during the war did not dimin
ish anything, but made him hosts of new
friends all over the South

DIR. LIvINGsToxE's FATE "A letter has
been received in this city from a Detroit
lady now sojourning in Syria, which as
sumes to shed some new light on the mys-
terious detention of Dr. Livingstone in
Africa. The writer made the acquaintance
of Captain Burton, British Consul at Da-
mascus, a man noted for his travels both in
the New World and the old, and in posi-
ton to be well informed as to the tribes of
Central Africa, and DR. LiYingstone's ad-
ventures among them. He says the Doc
tors recent stay of two years or Whereabouts,
like all other trouble, had a woman at the
bottom of it. He was first persuaded,
much against his wish, to marry a rude and
clustering native princess, and when he af-
forwards proposed to leave Mrs Living
stone in order to prosecute still further his
typographical Investigations, his fond father
in-law and mother in law interposed such
strong objections that he was virtually kept
a prisoner, and thus it happened that the
honeymoon was so outrageously prolonged.
The captain says the reason that this fact
had never been made public Is, that the
Doctors friends, feeling outraged by the
transaction, have succeeded until recently in
keeping it secret The letter adds that
Is Captain Burton himself married the
handsomest woman in England, so that he
can hardly be moved with envy toward his
fellow traveller, and as he speaks fourteen
different languages, his capacity for telling
the truth would be eonsiderable,-LD Detroit

neSSee.

of Congress, Governor of the State, and

1t is deemed of the highest Importance, IN
order to secure the complete overthrow OF

years ruled ard almost ruined us that there
should be unity of action among the Demo
cratic and Conservative party Of the State
In those elections.
The Executive Committee appointed by
the State Convention held in this city on
the 9th day Of June, 1868, have, therefore,
for the purpose Of preserving harmony in
our ranks and promoting unity Of action in
those elections, resolved to call a conven-
ton of the Democratic and Conservative
party Of the State to assemble at the Capt.
tol, in this city, on tuesday, the 18th of
September next, at Il A N, for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for Governor,
and taking such other steps as may be ne
cessary to secure the thorough organization
of the party. The several counties in the
State are, therefore, requested, on or before
the lst Monday in September, to appoint
delegates to that convention.

Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine has anything widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
series Of years, and among most of the races of
it has risen higher and higher IN their estima-
ton, it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known a
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms Of disease and TO young children, 1t IS
at the same time the most e6ectUal remedy that
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam

vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept ON hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidOte for them.
Although settled Consumption Is thought IN
curable still great numbers of where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the

over the disorders Of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate OF them yield TO it. When MOTH
