The History of A National r. me dy.
Here is the history Of the most
celebrated tonic Of the age in q
nutshell. In 1860 it was announc.
cd that . certain continuation of
vegetable ingredients, with a pure
diiiusive astimulant, was working
wonders in the cure CT chornic
dyspepsia, nervous dibility,2 liver
complaint, periodical fevers rheu-
matism and constitutional weak
ness. The unpretending name
given to the specific was PLAN
TATIoN BITERs. The statement at
traoted the attention Of invalids
everywhere. The new remedy re
ceived a fair trial, and the results
moro than confirmed all that had
been said in its praise. Thence
forward it was o grand success.
The business columns of the press
spread the Rlor ious news far and
wide, and the martyrs to indigcs-
ton, biliousness, physical prostra-
ton and premature decay, as if by
common consent, sought relief from
the new vegetable orative.-
They found what they sought From
that time 10 the present the in
crease in the demand for Plauta-
ton Bittcrs has been one of the
Mst striking events in this age.

to say that the nomination Of Horace Greeley will

OF young men coming forward by q single bound

Of the attempt to foist Charles Francis Adams,

say, 1t adds, that honored list OF liv-
ing democratic statesmen are all regarded
as holding an inferior rank to Mr.. Adams Ia an
insult and an injustice both to them and our party,
that shall not pass without our protest. We con.

superiority OF Mr.. Adams over Judge Davis, Lyman

II is positively certain that he cannot and VIII not

CHASE TO SUPPORT THE PHILADELPHIA NOMINEE.
The friends OF Chief Justice Chase are authority
for the statement that he will support the Philade

1t is quite probable that he will openly repudiate
the Ill advised and unauthorized efforts OF Judge
Long and others to urge his claim for the nomina-
ton at Cincinnati.
THE LOUISIANA DELEGATES TO CINCINNATI.
II Is denied by prominent friends OF the admins
tration here from New Orleans that the Louisiana
delegation to the Cincinnati Convention includes
all OF the delegation from that State to the Chicago
Convention in 1863 OF the fourteen delegates to
Chicago nine at least are known not to be at Gin
cinnat.
The Patriot Of this city, to-day publishes an
article understood to be the results OF an informal
conference Of the leading democratic Senators and
members of the House OF Representatives last
night, In which 1t says:-"We believe our oppor-
tunities OF gathering democratic sentiment and
especially OF the trusted democratic leaders In Con-
gress, are at least as good as those OF any other
journal, and we feel perfectly safe In saying that
Mr. Adams s not the first nor even the second,
choice OF any considerable number OF the democrats
for this nomination. We are very sure he would
not be accepted by them more readily than Judges
Davis, Brown, Cox or Trumbull. Indeed, we fear
that even II aided by the Democratic Convention
there would be some difficulty in ralying the
democratic masses to his support, despite their
evident wish to sustain the action Of the Cincin-
natl Convention" After commenting on the letter
OF Mr.. Adams which renders 1t doubtful whether

SUMMERS PRESENT POSITION.
The despatch in this mornings HERALD regarding
Senator Summers views relative TO the Cincinnati
Convention platform, having been telcgraphed
back to Washington to day, has formed the basis
OF much conversation In political circles. Mr.. Sum-
ner has been approached by several persons to
verify the assertions embraced In the des-
patch, and has very candidly admitted that
he did make use Of similar expressions while
in conversation with prominent New Jersey poll
tician, sympathizer with the liberal movement
last Saturday. II is now asccrtained that he re-
peated the same views during an interview this
morning with gentleman from North Carolina,
but was not positive In the assertion that he will
not support the Cincinnati nominee unless the
civil rights plank IL included In the platform He
finds himself alone In the Congress delegation from

while his colleagues receive hearty en-
couragement from their party friends at

OF his former admirers, among whom are included
all the soreheads and scheming democratic poli.

not cut himself entirely loose from his party, ana

achieved success scarcely inferior to that
OF Wachtel with the German audience,
and was repeatedly called before the
success In some respects greater than that OF his
renowned predecessor In the same theatre. His
voice Is OF the same powerful cabre, and only
needs the ut de pottrtne to bring down house at
sacrificed to It, becomes an intolerabe nuisance to
q musical ear, and 1t was a genuine pleasure to
listen to thorough artist, with fine, broad, dra-
matte voice, who sings every part OF MS roe with
hibited qualities last night which one would only
expect from Dawson or other star OF the dra-
matte stage. He Is still young, but thirty-three
years Of age, and has an enyiabie career be-
on which so many tenors have f0undered, the ut dc
poitrf7e Wegands success was nearly as great MS
that OF the tenor. He has grand broad and SYM
pathetic bass voice, highly trained. and he uses it
with effect. Without the magnetism OF F0rmcs
and the deep organ-like tones Of the celebrated
German basso, Herr Wegand produced a profound
impression by his artistic management OF a re-
markably fine voice. Eisenbach was the weakest
his voice to great extent. Yet he gave indication
OF better things at q second and third hearing,

Edwin Booth In the ssIron Chest.o


Mr.. Booth appeared last evening as Sir Edward
Mortimer, In Colman's sterling play OF the Iron
Chest" He seemed to be slightly under the weather,
and his voice not flexible IL is wont TO be.
The title OF the piece is to some extent misnomer.
It fails to convey to the listener the leading idea Of
the play. The difficulty OF eliminating from stage
representations those things that are accounted SO
Objectionable to morals and religion is very appar-
ent in every part OF the "Iron Chest" And yet few
pieces less Objectionable are ever put on the
stage. Rightly apprehended the Iron Chest'
contains a profound lesson In morals, and
demonstrates how hard is the way OF the trans

whom he binds to secrecy by OATH but fearing him
afterward, he concocts scheme by which to rid
himself OF this servant, OF whose faithfulness he
had had repeated proofs. But into the pit which
he dgged for the innocent he falls himself, and ex
pires protesting and declaring both the innocence
