A United People.

All honest men IN public position will strive
to unite our whole people, and struggle against
party or any member Of It, that seeks 70
spread dissension by depriving the citizens OF
one portion of this country of the rights and
privileges enjoyed by the other. The wicked
hand of the usurping cabal, now called the
Congress Of the United States is heapng up a
dreadful responsibility in the future. Nopeo-
pie Oh G obi earth have ever b,,rne such ipdig-
mites and Infringement even upon their natu-
raj rights as the people !of the South and
greater ruin will yet epsne, with its accom-
panying bitterness and unalloyed hate OF the
very name of Republication, unless the people
rise in their might and crush outthe foul spirit
Of Radicalism which hangs like a black cloud
over the land.
Will the people consent to worship the ghost
of an accomplished, fact, Or bind themselves
to an indefinite idea that thieves and plum
derers may live on, and feed upon the sub
stance of the people? IF slavery was an evil
it is annihilated !; let it go-but shall we forever
be doomed-we Of the: Caucasian race-to
bow in humble and. willing submission; to- the
virtual rule Of the blacks--yield a balance of
power to race .uneducated in the science Of
government AMI all for what? to minister to
the ambition of the corruptest set of politicians
that ever cursed aciHilized people, Wescan
never prosper untillwe strike down all emana-
tions from such enthusiastic bad men and
arch q postates as Thaddeus Stevens and his
like, who would overwhelm the grand prin-
ciple of State Rights, ina whirlpool Of Con-
solilation. and sweep away every landmark
Of republican liberty as achieved by our
fathers. --BaH! Erening journal.

Exuberant Health

Exuberant Health
Is blessing vouchsafed to few. Even those
who have been favored by nature with strong
constitutions and vigorous frames are apt to
neglect the precautions necessary to preserve
these precious endowments. Indeed, as rule,
the more healthy and robust a man is, the more
liberties he is inclined to take with his own
physique. 1t is some consolation to the natu-
rally weak and feeble to know that they can
be so invigorated and built up, by proper use
of the means which science has placed at their
disposal, as to have much better chance of
long life, and exemptions from disease and
pain, than the most athletic of their fellows
who are foolish enough to suppose themselves
invulnerable, and act accordingly.
1t is not too much to say that more than half
the people of the civilized world need an occa-
sional tonic, to enable them to support the
strain upon their bodies and minds, which the
fast life of this restless age occasions. In fact
a pure, wholesome, unexciting tonic is the
grand desideratum of the busy millions, and
they have the article in Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters It is staminal medicine, i. e. it inn
parts permanent strength to weak systems and
invigorates delicate constitutions. Its reputa-
ton and its sales have steadily increased
Competitive preparations have been introduced
ad hbituns, and, as far as the public is concern
ed, ad nauseum, in the hope of rivaling it; but
they have all either persisted in the attempt, or
been left far in the rear. 1t has been the great
medical success of the present century, and it
is quite certain that no proprietary medicine in
this country is as widely known, or as gener-
ally used. Is ~
Ten lightning presses, running necessarily
Sundays excepted, the whole year through,
barely supply the demand for the illustrated
Almanac, in which the nature and uses OF the
preparation are set forth, the circulation now
being over eight millions ayear. ~

From the Lancaster (Pa.) Intclligenccr.

Workings Of the Crawford County System.
Our Republican fellows itizens of Lancaster
county, are now revealing in all the delights
of an, annual Primary Election under the be-
nign influences of the exceedingly moral
Crawford County System. Every rum-shop
is reaping rich harvest, and whskey is flow
ing like water. Bribery and corruption Of
every description stalk abroad in open day.
Men who own farms aud are well nf in tile
world, demand money for their votes, and
ward politicians aud political bnmmers are
busily engaged in neecing the anxious can
didates. States are being formed by dfferant
rings of interested adventures, and the chan
ces are that even the President Judgeship will
be sold 10 the political shambles. Under the
Crawford County System more improper NOM
nations have been made in Lancaster county
for the Republican party than under the old
delegate system, and it looks as if things
would go from bad to worse. Let other
counties take warning. We hope no Demo-
cratic county in the Commonwealth will be
tempted to adoptthe system which has proven
to be so complete failure in Lancaster. 1t
fails to cure ills which are sometimes justly
com planned Of under the delegate system, and
introduces others which are still more to be
dreaded. Let Democratic counties avoid it
as they would the plague.

The Oyster Season.

the Oy6Cer season.
As the season approaches for taking and
catching oysters, licenses are being taken out
for said purpose. The time limited by law
commences on the 18th September, and ends
on the 18th of May each year. 1t will be
proper, then, for all engaged iu this trade to
govern themselves accordingly.
Every person applying for license to take
oysters with scoop, drag or dredge, must
have been, for twelve months preceding the
application, resident Of the State of Mary
land, and the owner or owners and masters
of vessels applying for licenses are required
to make oath that they have resided as afore-
said; and there is no lien on their vessels held
by non-residents. The following are the rates
named in the law: For any canoe or boat
measuring in length twenty feet or less, the
sum Of four dollars, measuring from twenty
to twenty-five feet, the sum of six dollars,
measuring from twenty five to thirty feet, the
sum of eight dollars, and all over thirty leet
10 length, including sloops under custom house
tonnage, the sum of ten dollars each. Vessels
so licensed are not allowed to take oysters
within one and half miles of Talley's Point,
Sandy Point, Hackett's Point, Thomas Point,
the Three Sisters, Hollands Point Bar, or on
or about Plum Point and Parkers Creek, on
the western side of the Chesapeake Bay and
Swan Point, on the eastern side of said Bay
and Eastern Bay, inside of line drawn from
the southwest extremity of Kent Point to the
northeast extremity of Poplar Island. The
law also prohibits the taking or catching Of
oysters after sunset and on Sundays. The
State has an organized Oyster Police force,
With steamer fitted up and equipped, to
hook after all violations of the law, and bring
the offenders before the proper tribunals to
be punished. As the law underwent consi-
derable change at the last session of the
General Assembly. it would be we'll for those
interested to make themselves acquainted
Herewith before taking out their licenses.
The strictest attention should be given to
the above requirements, in order to avoid
expense and dificulties.-Md. Republican.
