In 1G95, William the Third, a Constitu-
tional King, issued proclamation order
ing government, troops to march out of
every borough in England IN which cleo
tions tor the first triennual parliament
were to be held SO scrupulols was this
Constitutional King lest the people of
England should have the appearance of
being menaced, while holding their elec-
tions, by the presence of government SOL
diers. That was at a time when England
was threatened with foreign invasion, and
when domestic treason lurked in every
part ot the kingdom. But Grant demands
that law shall be passed to enable his
marshals to surround every place in which
elections are to be held by the minions OF
federal power, and to summon troops to
overawe the people, if they deem it neces-
sary. Manly resistance on the part of
the representatives of the people to 4
measure so despotic and infamous, is de-
bounced as treason by the slaves of Grant 8
imperous will. At no time within the
Easl two hundred years would the people
Of England submit to such an enactment.

On SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER

e"When the rebellious traitors are overwhelm-
ed in the field, and scattered like leaves before
any angry wind, it must not be to return to
peaceful and contented homes. They must find
poverty at the fresides and see privation in
the anxious eyes of mothers and in the rags OF
children Horace Greeley.
We find the foregoing still paraded in capt.
tails at the head of the columns of the Savannah
Nesus We published an authentic statement
from the Tribune the other day, denying that
Mr.. Greeley ever wrote the sentence or express
ed such sentiment We think it is time the
Ne,os had seen the denial, hauled down it colors,
and begged pardon.-Rich. Wing.
The remarks of the Wing apply as we'll to the
Monroe County Register as to the Savannah
Neaos.
The Baltimore Sun says:
The sentiment attributed to Mr. Greeley, it
is sufficient to say, is declared by his own jour
nal never to have proceeded from his pen. We
may add that it is not in accordance with his
character, of which benevolence has always been
prominent feature, nor with his acts, for from
the moment the war closed he has exercised all
his influence to enable Southern men to re
turn to peaceful and contented homes, and not
to find poverty at their firesdes, and see prl-
walton in the anxious eyes OF mothers and the
rags of children" Those who may never have
uttered threat so purely satanic are carrying
it out in action at this moment, and are APP
plauded to the echo by such journals as the
New York Times. ''What is the good of ly-
ing?" Not much good, we devoutly trust, in
the long run.

= SUPPORTING THE SOUTH !!

8aEa Apart from all political differences,
such as are now agitating the Country, the
South should support her. own schools and col
leges, her own manufactures, her own mechan-
les, and above all, her own medicinal prepara-
tons when skillfully concocted, and for the rea-
son that Southern physicians, chemists and phar-
maceutists understand the diseases of the South
ern climate far better than scientific men of o
different latitude possibly can, and should there
fore be the better prepared to prescribe reme-
dies. More than quarter of century ago, a
Physician of marked distinction in Virginia
discovered, after great labor, and unfailing rem
edy for DYSPEPSIA, DIARRHGA, and 9TH
er diseases of the stomach and bowels, and after
testing its efficacy in hundreds of cases, with the
most complete success, determined to give it to
the world. under the name of BAKERS PRE-
MUM BITTERS. AT his death the recipe
passed into the hands of the present proprietor
and for the past thirty years, despite the efforts
of quacks to supersede it, for truth is as impos-
sible to be soiled by any outward touch as the
sunbeam, it has been steadily working its way
into public favor, restoring the caroworn and
emaciated Dyspeptic to health and vigor, reju-
venating the premature old from indigestion,
strengthening the weak and enfeebled, and dis
pelling from hundreds of families the use of
those poisonous minerals, which, at one time,
were administered with deadly effect for every
malady. North or South, East or West, these
Bitters have no equal q tonic, are entirely
harmless to all ages, and sexes and will prove
beneficial in every condition of life.

Views of Senator A. G. Thur man.

We make the following extract from letter
of Senator Thurman of Ohio, addressed to a
gentleman of Cleveland, Ohio, under date OF
July 18th:
1.-The nomination of Greeley and Brown by
the Baltimore Convention was the work OF the
people The politicians had very little or no
thing to do with it. It was tidal wave that
swallowed up everything in its way The true
explanation of it is that the people mean to
have change Administration ; and they will
not let pride or prejudice stand in the way of
success. Not that the Democratic party aban-
dons its principles; for it does nothing of the
sort. On the contrary alleging as it truly does
that the course of the Radical leaders in the
White House and in Congress threatens to de-
stroy all constitutional and democratic govern
ment-it is bound by its principles to seek the
overthrow of these leaders And if it cannot
overthrow them in precisely the mode it would
prefer it is but common sense to take the next
best mode. Therefore, although L would have
been better pleased had our party unanimously
resolved to make straight Democratic fight,
i .gn now (siuce the party has SO willed it, and
helieying that the welfare and liberty of the
country require the defeat of the present Ad-
m;nistration) firmly resolved to work with ear
nestness aud zeal for the election OF Greeley and
Brown. What else can Democrat do who be-
lieves what be has been saying tor years, that
the continuance 10 power OF Grant and the had
;eaI majority in Congress would endanger the
, Very existence Of constitutional government 2.
What if Greeley has opposed the Democatic
party-is it not better to elect man . who has
but who now, In many things, agrees with us,
than to help to eject renegade Democrat like
Grant gho was once with US, but is now op-
posed to US in everything7 We have to choose
between these two men, or throw away our
Gsonoh;sa hv refusing to vote. But who is there
', Wiling to throw his franchise away? Who is
there who places so little value upon it that ne
it? Who i is there hst ready Ia to ao
at I'll? 1 trust that no Democrat will be found
t tat a reet that any change of Administration
is likely 20 be fer the better sDd that certainly
it cannot be for the worse.
I am your friend truly,
A. G. THURMAN.

About two weeks ago Mr.. Luther Craddock,
of Milton. Albemarle county, whilst assisting in
repairing boat at New Richmond, in Summers
county, was so severely injured by the boat fall
ing upon his person that he died of his injuries
in few days afterwards. Mr.. Craddock was one
of eight brothers. Four are now living and four
are dead. Those who have died lost their lives
from unnatural causes. James fell from the
top of the Rotunda of the University of Vir-
GINA and was instantly killed. John Gardner,
his brother, fell out of boat into James River,
and was drowned. Cephas, another brother,
swallowed a piece of ginger, which lodged in
his windpipe, and died most miserable death.
And the last of the one half. Luther, has met
with sad fate far FROM bis home and his

Gov. Browns HEALTH. Gov. B. Gratz
Brown, since his illness, has received dispatches
from all parts of the country inquiring about
his condition, and rendering him expressions of
sympathy He is now at Dr. Steele's residence,
in New York. A reporter asked DIR. Steele
what was the cause Of the Governors illness.
DR.. Steele said it was simply physical prostra-
ton, produced by overwork. He said that he
was satisfied that Governor Brown had not slept
on an average four hours day through the last
four or Eve months. This, with the change of
climate and the sudden heat, had been the
cause of the illness Of Governor Brown, who is,
physically, not very strong man.
He will be entirely we'll In a few days, and
will, says Dr.. Steele, be stronger then than he
was before his sickness. DR.. Steele, who has
known Gov. Brown ever since the latter went
to the same school with him, has already, in the
opinion Of the Governor, done wonders in re-
storing him to health.

EACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.-Discov-
4 cries in mechanism or manufacture, by
which money and labor are saved, are admitted
to be of incalculable value to the race of man
kind. How much more valuable, then, is that
discovery in science which promotes health,
lengthens life and dispels diseases from the hui
man frame? To such discoverer the world
must ever remain indebted, for all its wealth is
but drop in the bucket compared to the life of
fellow-beng. Indeed mankind is too incred-
ulous to believe that any great Panacea can be
concocted for all the ills of life, and when q
scientific man asserts that he has made such q
discovery, the breadth of his declaration at
once causes doubt to arise he is Immediately
declared an empyric, and his nostrums, however
valuable in some respects, are branded "quack-
cry" and at once discarded. That remedies may
be produced for all diseases of similar origin
we have not the shadow of doubt. Indeed, we
know this to be true, for we have seen it thor
oughly tested in Bakers Premium Bitters, but
great as are the curative powers OF this invalua-
Bile vegetable medicine, and wonderful as has
been its effects in relieving nervousness, general
debility, costiveness, Indigestion, heartburn,
dyspepsia, sick stomach, bowel complaint, ague
and fever and depression of spirits. we do not
pretend to Claim for it the mastery over hum
dreds of other diseases that we might name
We know that when used in low, marshy coun-
tries, where ague and fever are prevalent, it will
prevent this disease as well as billiousness, and
that it will all others for which 1t IS recon-
nended, whom regularly taken. We also know
that it is the best tonic ever used by delicate fe
males and teething children and that it will
cure the acidity Of the stomach in very short
time But it is useless for us to say more about
its virtues Manufactured in our midst, pre-
pared from recipe of one of the ablest Ply
sicians in the Union, and taken and recon-
mended to others by our people, are the best ev-
