Slightly Acrimonious.

The Toronto Leader advertises as the
TACT that American politicians are stran-
gers to good faith Snd fair dealing, and
comes to the conclusion that after "all
the brag and buster" there will be no
war, simply because Brother Jonathan
cannot afford to 60 to war, and because

"Those Yankees know better than
anybody can tell them that the South at
the present time is not satisfied, that the
white population is only waiting an op-
portunlty to rise en- naaSse and make an-
other tremendous effort to become free
of what they consider worse than bon

Great Britain, two or three hundred
Thousand men would be in arms in a
month-men who have not only been
oegyared by their subsection, but insulted
and trampled upon by their Northern
Vlctors, by whose assistance the former
slaves of the South have been made the
Judges and task-makers of the white
population. The landing of small
army OF English soldiers at Charleston
or New Orleans would raise the torch OF
rebellionagain in the South which would
not be eXtinguished by the whole power
OF the Northern States ; and the latter
ports would be all blockaded within q
week, by the British. If the Alabama
was sufhclent, as is boldly stated by the
Americans. themselves, to drive the
American commerce off the seas, and

New York Erpress suggests that ''our
Canadian brethren of the quill" had
better keep quiet and not indulge Gin
prophecies rs to what would be the result
of conflict between Brother Jonathan
and the mother country, which savors
slightly of lunacy," and adds:
NO doubt things would be lively In
the contingency supposed by the Toronto
man. Blu: while those 500 horrible Ala
oamas are demonstrating on our coasts,
Wnat thinks he of an army of Fenians
marching into Toronto, making the
editors prisoner of war, and then mo-
wing on to Montreal and Quebec? AS to
an uprising in the South under English
influences, our Canadian contemporary
had better not clay that f1attering unc-
ton to his SOUL" The ex-Confederates
have no reason either to remember with
gratitude the dealings of the British
government with them during tho re-
bellion, or to put their trust in any over
tureswhich 1t might be tempted, from
selfish motives, to make them now in
the eventsupposed. If he has any doubt
on this point, the editorials in most Of
the Journals which come to US from that
quarter with reference to the pending
dispute, will be very apt to give him
clearer comprehension of the actual
state Of Southern sentiment than he
appears to entertain at present.

Judge Nelson, of the United States Su-

Justice Chase has dismissed all thought
of being candidate for President this

of Senator Trumbull as the opposition

most of the leading democrats in this
state are at present inclined to accept
Senator Trumbull as the coming man,
but oppose any precipitate action. But
all speculations on this subject are al
this time idle. The real coming man.

SONG.

Slipping, drifting with the tide,
All the summer twilight through,
While in heaven the stars abide
In my heart sweet dreams of you.
Echoes following from the shore
Seem the chorus of our song,
Summer odors blown before
Float the tune along.
Shall we linger till the day
. Paints the earth a thing divine?
Spread the sail and haste away
Where the distant breakers shine?
Held within their fearful grasp,
Would they crush like shell?
Dying dearest in your clasp,
All would yet be we'll!

After he is dead-an event which he

THE HISTORY OF A NATIONAL RENE
DY.-Here is the history of the most cell
ebrated tonic Of the age in NUTSHELL
In 1850 it was announced that certain
combination of vegetable ingredients,
with pure diffusive stimulsnt, was
working wonders in the cure of chronic
dyspepsia, nervous debility, liver COM
plaint, periodical fevers, rheumatism
and constitution weakness. The unpre-
tending name given to the specific was
Plantation Bitters. This statement at
trscted the attention of invalids every
where. The new remedy received fair
trial and the results more than confirmed
all that had been said in its praise
Thence forward it was grand success.
The business columns of the press spread
the glorious news far and wide, and the
martyrs stoindigestion, billiousncss, phys.
ical prostration and premature decay, as
| if by common consent, sought relie1
from the new vegetable restorative
Then found arhdt they sought. From
that time to the present the increase in
the demand for Plantation Bitters has
been one of the most striking events o.
this age
