SPECIAL NOTICES.
-:O.-
A Dead DeIuSiOn.

The theory that human beings whose
strength has been exhausted by pain and
sickness can be restored by depicting medi-
cInes and water cruel, If not absolutely a
dead delusion, is in the last agonies Of dis
solution. At length II is understood that
strength cannot be purged into debilitated
frame, though life may easily be purged
out of 1t, and that 1t is about as wise to
withhold healthful stimulant from the
weak, in the expectation that they will
rally without one, as it would be to de-
prive a lamp of oil and expect 1t to burn
the brighter for il.
The immense and uniforn success which
has attended the use of that wonderful
combination of pure stimulant with the
finest medicinal herbs, known as Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, has largely assisted
in dispelling the absurd chimera. Frantic
attempts are made to revive it, but in vain.
When the sick feel that their strength Is
departing, and that unless invigorated
they must utterly break down, it is in vain
to tender them feculent Stops in the place
of genuine reStOratives. They may be I'M
posed upon this way once, but the IMPOSE
ton cannot be repeated. They desire to be
refreshed, comforted, braced up, and decline
to be griped a second time.
Under the o peration of the Bitters, on the
other hand, all the processes necessary to
physical restoration 60 on simultaneously.
The system is stimulated and toned, the
bowels regulated, the appetite cultivated,
the nerves composed and the condition OF
the blood improved at one and the same
time by single medicine. Common sense
tells us that such a preparation must be in

and conveyed TO Richmond. which was
done. They were detained there sew
eral months before satisfactory nego-
tiations were had for their release. In
tie meantime, Mr.. FAULKNER had just
returned from France, settled his &C.
counts with the State Department at
Washington, and was about to return
to his home in Berkeley county, having
received safe conduct for that purpose,
when he was arrested at Secretary CAM.
ERoNs instance to be held as hostage
for the safety Of Treasurer MoGRAw.
Under this order he was detained in
Fort Warren and afterwards in Fort
La Fayette about four months and was
released in December 1861, Mr.. Nc.
GRAw having been permitted to return
to Pennsylvania.
We have never heard Mr.. FAULKNER
accused of any infdelity to HE official
trust. The circumstances we have re-
counted concerning his arrest in 1861
are from our own recollection Of what
was said in the newspapers at the time
and are, We believe, correctly stated.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1872-06-06

not quite all, of the'ill will engendered
BY the convention system may also be
avoided in this way, and the party may
he firmly held together.
To these considerations may be added
the fact that this mode of making nom
nations accords more closely with our
American ideas of government than
any other. Our theory is that the
people are the source OF all power and
authority and that the more direct and
perfect the expression of the popular
voice the better. Delegate bodies are
only selected to do things which the
people cannot conveniently accomplish
in their sovereign and individual capac
itv, but where, as in this case, the
people can with greater convenience
and satisfaction to themselves than in
any other way perform an act which il
is their province TO do, there seems
little use Of delegating that power to a
handful of men.
We have heard recently a number oil
our citizens express their preference
for the employment Of the popular vote
system for making Democratic nomina
tons in this county. We believe that
nearly if not quite all Of the several
gentlemen who have been spoken of as
candidates for the various offices prefer
this plan, and the consideration OF the
subject is respectfully suggested to the
members of the County Executive Com
mittee.

The redistricting of this State into
Congressional Districts seems to be a
difficult piece of legislation to accon :
plish When the legislature has done
the best it can in this business,
somebody in both political parties
will be dissatisfied. The Districts
cannot be so formed as to make Con
gressmen of all who have lauiable as
pirations to serve the dear people in a
national legislative capacity. Some
body must be disappointed and some
body will feel that too little regard has
been paid to their particular merits.
By the way, we notice that a bill has
been introduced into the House for re-
districting the State, by Mr. Curtice.
The seventh, or the district in which
we are to be placed, is to be made up
of the following Counties, to- wit
Brown, Adams, Highland, Clinton
and Fayette. This we protest. We
would rather have Clermont than Ad-
ans, though we think the Republicans
could elect a member with Adams in
stead of Clermont Adams has a larg-
er Democratic majority than Clermont
by couple of hundred We would
prefer to have our District remain as
il now is.
