CALL FOR A STATE CON-
s--. VENTION. ,-.-,.r

Voters of the state of Tennessee. !


To the Democratic and Conservative
Voters of the state of tennessee
On the second Tuesday in November
next, the important elections for Members
of Congress, Governor of the State, and
Members of the Legislature will be held.
1t is deemed of the highest importance, in
order to secure the complete overthrow Of
the political party which has for several
years ruled and almost ruined us, that
there should be unity of action among the
Democratic 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 &C
ton in those elections resolved to call q
convention of the Democratic and Conserv-
alive party of the State to assemble at the
Capitol in this city on Tuesday the 18th Of
September next at11 A. N. for the pur-
pose of nominating a candidate for Coy.
ernor, and taking such other steps as may
be necessary to secure the thorough or
ganization of the party. The several
counties in the State are, therefore
requested on or before the LIST Monday in
September to appoint delegates to that
convention. GEo. ]. STUBBLRFHLD,

.Nhat a Bostonian ThInks.

The Adams IN Y Visitor speaks of an emf
nent BOstonian who regarded an advertise
ment in newspaper as s personal invitation
to call, and said: "While 1 sometimes hesitate
about entering a store the proprietOrs of which
have not thus sent their cards TO nv residence
| always feel certain of a cordial welcome
from the members of an advertising firm
The same paper adds: There is in this re-
mark an assurance of one of the many results
of advertising. The trader and his calling be-
come identified, and the name of the man is in
separately connected in the mind of the public
with his merchandise. 1t may not be the very
day an advertisements appears that it bears its
fruit; weeks or months may elapse and then
when the want arises, the article to be OBJ
tanned Immediately suggests the advertiser
This is the effect Of general advertising when
persisteHtly followed. A special class or adj
vcrtisements. where some novelty is announced
is more immediate A Shrewd business man
once advertised trifing article in a manner
which could scarcely prove remunerative His
neighbOrs expressed their regret at his folly
but he appeared cOntented. Though his gross
sales of the article did not cover the cost Of his
advertising, he attracted a new class of people
to his store, and his shrewdness paid him in a
very short time, for new eyes saw what he had
to offer in addition to the speciality advertised,
and new purses came under contribution to
him.

THE New York Nation, one of the
ablest and we may add one of the most
decent, organs in this country of the
Radical party, acknowledges that the al
most general sympathy manifested by the
Republican party for the Prussian cause
is largely calculated upon as an element
of strength in the fall elections. Our
German friends, we do not fear, will be
able to place the proper estimate upon
sympathy 50 selfish in its nature, and not
allow their feelings for European countries
to influence their voting in this.

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMNER TONIC.

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that Renovation, not PrOstratioH, is
the true Medical Philosophy. The intro
duction of PLANTATION BITTERS,
prepared with pure st. Oroi1 Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the
world to this great fact. The life sustain
ing principle embodied in this great Vege-
table Restorative is manifested in the weak
and Responding by an immediate and most
encouraging change, If the appetite has
failed, it is quickened; if digestion has
been painful and imperfect, it becomes easy
and thorough; if the liver is torpid, it is
reused and regulated; if the nerves are re-
Taxed, they are strengthened and restrung;
If the brain has been haunted by morbid
fancies, they are put to flight, and hope and
cheerfulness return. In the face of the ex-
traordinary cures Of general debility, dys-
pepsia, biliousness, constipation and men
tai dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist in
it. The terrible evacuents which were once
prescribed as the spring and summer med
cines, have utterly lost their prestige. The
Iick will not take them, and Plantation |
3itters, in which are combined the ele
uents of stomachic, and invigorant, a
mild laxative, a nervine and an anti-bilious |
pecific, reign in their stead.

I'm 1861, young man was employed in this place
as clerk In house, at the moderate sum Of four
dollars per week. In the fall Of 1862 he went into
small business on his own hook. In 1863 he
formed copartnership with his brother When

advertise He took our advice-folloved II strictly
to the letter-using more printers ink than all the

Of our advice, together with the honesty integrity
and go-aheadstiveness of this hrra has given them

Advertising and its Results.

The following comes from New York paper:
THE changes going on in society make it necessary
for business man to keep before the people II
he expects TO succeed in trade fair statement of
what he is doing, and will do, is necessary for him
self and those dealing with him. He must make
this statement, and does do It in some way if he
sells anything. People are quite apt 10 go where
their attention is Called and If they find things as
represented they will purchase there in preference
TO spending their time in seeking elsewhere Those
whose patronage and influence are of the greatest
value never spend too much time in looking up a
thing. They have learned that time Is money, and
that without time in this world money is worthless
1t is conclusive that there is merit as well as profit
in advertising honestly and fairly in telling people
Whist and how you viii do, and then doing il Those
who are willing to trade strictly upon principle can
circulate an advertisement throughout an entire
and it viii have Just as much force as
though they spoke to each individual by word or
each visited their establishment and examined for
himself. This advertising only amounts to the
same as telling your patron when he calls on Won
how you viii sell to him. II il Just to all con-
cerned to advertise conscientiously and those who
do 1t win find advertising Of the utmost fmpor-
lance" u
