Mn. EDITOR: Speaking Of the Willy
Nash in your paper Of 18th, you state
that John L. Sioun. Jr., has received
the nomination for the Legislature, il
popular with all classes, und possesses
the full confidence of tho Convention.
If you intend by this to convey the
idea that Mr.. Sloan will receive the
support of all classes Of the Couven-
ton on the day Of election, yon will
find yourself quite in error. MIR. Sloan
may possess tue kind feelings of the
Convention, but will receive but small
aid from them. lie is not a representa-
tice man, either as u representative IF
The Columbia bar or of the M.c payers
Of Me County. The great issue before
the public ls, that their representa-
tives shall be property holders, and
bear some Of the burdens imposed ON
others. This haa been tho burden Of
the complaint made by the Com mmittee
OF the Tax Payers Convention ut Wash

endorsement of the tax. payers of the

County, or ut least the mechanics and
merchants OF the city Of Columbia,
are not disposed to bend the knee to
the willy NASH. by accepting the
crn ci5s that i.!! fram his table, aud
giving him or his nominee support for

CONSUMPTION CAN BE- CURED =
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic, and Schenck's Man
drake Pills, are the only medicines
that will cure Pulmonary Consump-
ton. Frequently medicines that will
stop "a cough will occasion the death of
the patient; they lock up the liver,
stop the circulation Of the blood, he
morrhage follows. and, in fact, they
clog the uction of the very organs that
caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are
the causes Of two thirds Of the cases
of Consumption. Many persons com.
plain of dull pain in the side, consti-
patton, coated tongue, pain in the
shoulder blade, feelings of drowsiness
and restlessness, the food lying heavily
on the stomach, accompanied with
acidlty and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from
disordered condition of the stomach
or a torpid liver.
Persons so af, cted. if they take one
OF two heavy colds, and if The cough
IN these cases be suddenly checked,
Will Ind the stomach aud liver cloeRed,
remaining torpid nnd inactive, and al
most before they are aware, the lungs
are mass OF cores and ulcernted, the
result Of which is death.
Schenck's Palmonic Syrup is an ex.
pectorant, which docs not contain
opium or anything calculated to check
cough suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissolyes
the food, mixes With the gastric juices
of the stomach, aids digestion and
