Excursion of Southern Editors,

We learn from the Baltimore city papers that
a very pleasant party of Editors from several
of the Southern States arrived in that city on
Sunday morning last. The excursion party,
which is under the charge of Major N. H. Hotch-
kiss, travelling agent of the Chesapeake and
Ohio and Richmond and York River Railroads,
arrived in the steamer State of Virginia, of the
York River line, and were Immediately escort
ed to their quarters at the St. Clair HOTEL
The visitors, after attending Divine service at
various churches, in the afternoon visited
Druid Hill Park. On returning to the hotel
they were entertained in the reception room.
Several hours were past pleasantly in the ex-
change of sentiment; the theme of the South
ern gentlemen was the beauty of Druid Hill
Park, with which they seemed to have been
much impressed. The trip was made to the
Park-also the Observation-Disclosures the aus
pices of Mr.. D. T. Deford Jr, Southeastern
agent of the Northern Central Railroad.
The excursionists left Baltimore on Monday
last, by the Northern Central Railroad, at 1850
a. M, and were to visit the following points ::
Elmlra, and there be entertained by the press
and citizens, thence to Buffalo, Niagara Falls,
Rochester, Canandaigua, Watkins Glenn, Cen
eva and Syracuse. At the last named city they
meet the New York State Editorial Association
on their annual trip, as their guests, and to-
gether go to Watertown, and thence to Thous-
and Isles, on the st. Lawrence, visiting other
places of interest. On their return. the South
ern editors will stop at Binghampton, Scran-
ton, visiting the coal mines thence down the
Wyoming Valley to WiIkesbarre; thence to
northumberland, and arrive in Baltimore about
the Sd of July.
The proprietors of the St. Clair Hotel, Messrs.
Gllmor 4 Sons, through Mr.. Fogle, the mama
ger, have extended the courtesies and hospital
tiles of the hotel to Mr.. Hotchkiss and party,
going and returning.
An invitation was extended to the President
OF the Maryland Editorial Association, Senator
Wilson, of the Marlboro Gazette, which was
accepted, and our President met the party at
Richmand and accompanied them as far as Bal
timore. We regret to learn, however, that
here he was compelled to leave them, as tidings
of the death Of a relative reached him on Sun
day.

Shall We Unite :

In an able editorial, under this heading,
the Baltimore Gazette evnces very decided
disposition to conciia'e conflicting views, and
to unite with "a combination Of all the ele-
ments of opposition to put down Grantfsn. y
The Gazette thinks that eff the Democratic
party had stood firm at an earlier day, it
might have nominated its own candidates for
the Presidency aud Vice Presidency with
every prospect of success" and adds:
Failing to comprehend its own strength,
and the advantage to be derived from the
split in the Republican ranks, it lost the most
tempting opportunity ever given to a political
party since 1850. 1t forgot the very lesson
which that triangular contest should have
taught it, and, from sheer WEAKNESS of the
struggle it had so CALAMITY maintained for
twelve years, gave way to doubts aud fears
when it should have been most confident and
hopeful
But the past is past. The vital question
now is, how to "pluck from the nettle danger
the flower safety 2" If this can be done only
by a coalition with the Liberal Republicans
bitter as the alternative will be to many-so
be it, 1t must be acknowledged that the drift
of popular sentiment favors combination OF
|Aii the elements of opposition to put down
Grantism. Not only are our sister Southern
States appealing to us for relief from the bru-
tai despotism to which for seven years they
have been subjected; but thousands of good
men, in other parts of the country, alarmed at
the persistent efforts of the Grant Radicals to
consolidate power in the hands of a reckless
and disreputable Oligarchy, aud an unscrnpu-
lous President, are calling upon the Democracy
to lift themselves, 10 this supreme crisis, above
mere party considerations, and join hands with
all who are willing to assist in restoring the
Government to something of its old purity
and to the States the rights, and to their citi-
zens the privileges that have been wrongfully
wrested from them"
The Gazette concludes its article with the
declaration that it will not only bow to the
decision of the National Convention, "but will
frankly and cordially support, with all the a.
bility and all the power it can command, any
combination Of opposing forces that will offer
a reasonable prospect of beating Grant; be-
cause to beat Grant is to trample out Gran
tism,' aud 10 that one word is comprehended
a dangerous Executive, a corrupt Administra-
ton, subservient majority in Congress, six
ty thousand official mercenaries, subsidized
press, and the practice Of all those baser arts
that delude and demoralize people"

Founded on ROck.-The disappointed
adventures who have from time to time at
tempted to run their worthless potions against

not understand what foundation there is for it,
amazing popularity The explanation is sim
pie enough. The reputation of the world-re-
nowned tonic is founded upon rock, the Rock
of Experience. All its ingredients are pure and
wholesome. How, then, could tricksters and
cheats expect to rival it with compounds of
cheap drugs and refuse liquor, or with liquor
less trash in a state of acetous fermentation p
Of course. the charlatans have come to grief.
Their little game has failed. Their contempt
for the sagacity of the community has been ftly
punished. Meanwhile Plantation Bitters seem
to be in fair way of eventually superseding
every other medicinal preparation included in
the class to which it belongs. In every State
and Territory of the Union it is, to-day, the &C
cepted specific for nervous debility, dyspepsia,
fever and ague, rheumatism, and all ailments
involving deficiency of vital power.
