Address to the Peonle.

In the Nashville Union and American of
Saturday last we find an address to the
people of Tennessee, from General John
G. Brown, the peoples candidate for Gov
The address is one tn at no one can
misunderstood.
General Brown says that be has no wish
to ach ieve success on an equivOcal plat
form. "There are now but two national
parties; the one the Radical Republican
party, latitudinarian in principle, waste
full and partial in its disposition of the
public domain, reckless in its expenditure
of the public money, partisan and pro-
scriptive in its legislation, and utterly re-
gardless of the safeguards of the Constitu-
tion. The other, the national Democrat
&c party, battling for constitutional rights,
economy in the administration of the Gov
eminent, the reduction Of taxes, and the
restoration of the Government to its an
eient landmarks, and is composed of all
men-by whatever names heretofore
known-who seek to wrest the country
from the dominant power, and save it from
utter ruin" General Brown contends
that no middle ground can be occupied by
the people of Tennessee, and that neutral
ity would be criminal. "Entertaining
such sentiments" he says, "it is scarcely
necessary for me to add that l nm in full
accord with the National Democratic
parity" and "shall earnestly labor in the
ranks, or elsewhere in the great battle
which is being fought by that party, for
the principles of constitutional liberty"
1t having been reported that General
Brown would probably not abide by the
action of the Convention to be held at
Nashville, in that connection he says:
"Whilc / umhesitatingly pronounce
myself a Democrat, yet to this convention
of the people l submit my claims, and I
doubt not its wisdom will find a way to
harmonic the action of all the true low
ers of constitutional freedom, and will
abide its action, believing, as I do, that
the basis of organiza ton and political
faith must and will be antagonistic to the
Radical despotism now in power"
General Brown endorses the platform
of principles adopted by the Ohio Democ-
racy as one upon which we can and will
unite. But he thinks that platform might
be "more specific in declaring that the
$50 bonds should and must be paid in
the lawful currency of the United States,
This ia both in consoance with the act of
Congress authorizing their issue, and Just
to an oyertaxed people,"
We are glad that General Brown has
seen fit to SO clearly define his position to
the people of the entire State. Those who
fail to support him, should he receive the
nomination, will be sustaining the Radi-
cal party. There is no middle ground to
stand on.
That our readers may understand the
platform of principles adopted by the Ohio
Democracy, on which it is believed all the
opponents of radicalism in Tennessee e can
unite, We publish it entire in another
column of this paper. We find it in the
| Union and American.

YOUNG GIRLS.


Middlc-aged m%atrons, those at the critical peri
cd, and the aged grandmother, are all cured
by the Use OF our English Female Bitters, now
prescribed and used by physicians all over the
country.
If you arc troubled with Falling of the Womb,
attended with n sense of weight and bearing
down pain in the back and side, and other at
tendant evils, English Female Bitters will give
entire relief.
Those at the ''turn of life, - mothers after con-
fncment, and all others (male or female) who
are cohvalescents from any pIotracted or Gehili-
tating complaint, who gain strength slowly, and
whose digestion is slow and imperfect, will find
these Bitters the very thing their system de-
mands. 1t gives q powerful APPETITE, aids and
assists digestion, arOuses the liver, strengthens
mentally and physically, and fills the whole sys-
TEN with prus crimson blood c~Oursing through
its channels.
COMMON GROG-SHOP BITTERS.
Empty Bitter Bottles, Of various styles, can be
found around almost every dwelling and cabin
throughout the land. Their taste is pleasant
and IRE advertised to cure almost every disease,
while the manufacturers knOlo they possess no
medical properties whatever. The are SO many
DISCUSSES for exceedingly common beverages which
do not, nor cannot possibly cure any one.
Beware OF these pleasing bitters in quart bot
ties, they contain q sting for your vitals, and he
VINO buys them carries n "toper's" grog into his
house. One man who knows nothing about
medicine, says his big bottle is very fancy, cures
all Impurities of the blood, makes old men yOape,
casts out devils, restores sight to the blind, and
numerous other miracles !; while yet another,
who presumes every man a drunkard, progresses
to cure collie, ingrowing nails, yellow fever, heart
disease and lOye-sick maidens !! We know thew
make no such cures, we know the people at large
are deceived and swindled, and as We desire to
y,%entllate these common humbugs, make the fol.
lowing challenge to one and all

In all these complaints the system evidently
shows a want of red blood, and Mr.. Churchill,
IN his work on Diseases of Females, says
Clearing in mind that the blood is remarkably
deficient in red corpusclcs, and the known prop
erty of iron to correct tets condition, theory sug-
gestS it Ms the most to be relied on, the best of
which is the Citrate" Citrate of Iron enters
largely into the composition of Female Bittcrs,
combined with powerful vegetable tonics of rare
qualities.
Among the mountains of Tennessee and the pi-
ney woods of Mississippi, is found n certain hard
and ilinty root, which has been in secret use by
some old midwives for many years, possessing
magic powers in regulating and restoring all fe-
males suffering with any affection of the womb.
This root we have obtained, gave it affair test in
our practice and it is now one of the principals
ingredients in these Bitters. Other powerful
uterine and general tOnics also enter into it's
composition. We also add Lcptandra or Black
root, sufficient to act upon the liver and keep
the bowels omen.

FEMALE COMPLAINT

That claims its victims throughout the length
and breadth of our land,
Many females suffer in some way at each
monthly period some girls are in great peril Of
the commencement of menstruation, while older
ones dread its decline at the 'turn of life.''
Sometimes the menstrual flow is too much, or too
little, or may be attended with pain may be
irregular or entirely checked, or changed in APP
pearancc, attended with other distressing symp-
toms. LeuccOrrheN, or the "Whites, - frequent
ly drains the system, or liberation of the womb
may create pain and cause rapid prOstration.
Falling of the womb is an exceedingly common
complaint, giving much trouble and distress,
which, under Ordinsry treatment, is difficult to
cure.
Mysteries, Green Sickness, Irritability of the
womb and other serious and fatal complaints,
follow the female sex throughout life. Lives

The Lynehburg Republican says mo per-
sonal considerations should be allowed to enter
into contest, which will be narrowed down
between Conservative candidate and one put
forward by the Radical party To refuse to
support the former is to give aid to the latter,
and is a position which we hardly think any of
our Conservative friends would like to occupy.
The true course is, that while you may have
your personal preference, you will submit to
the decision of the nominating convention, de-
handing united support for your candidate
if he should be presented, and in turn accord
ing like support to the nominee if he should
not be your choice. This is no time for divi-
sion among ourselves.
