CoNsUMPTIvEL TAKE NOTIcE.-Every moment
Of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and
much depends on the judicious choice OF remedy.
The amount Of testimony In favor Of DR.. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, as cure for consumption, far
exceeds all that can be brought to support the
pretensioDs Of any other medicine. See DR..
Schenck's Almanac, containing the certificates Of
many persons Of the highest responsibility who
have been restored to health, after being pro-
nounced incurable by physicians Of acknowledged
ability. Schenck's Pulmonie Syrup alone has
cured many, as these evidences will show; but
the cure is often promoted by the employment OF
two other remedies which Or. Schenck provides
fer the purpose. These additional remedies are
Schenek's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.
By the timely use Of these medicines, according
to directions, Dr. Schenck certihes that most any
case of Consumption may be cured.
DR., Sehenck Is professionally at his principal
phia, every Monday, where all letters for advice
must be addressed.

BE Northern people regarding the true

States, and pledged themselves and their
party to the duty Of securing their strict
enforcement They do not pretend that
they are strictly enforced now, and have
wholly ignored their pledges. This has
encouraged the Southern, Democracy in
Its opposition to those laws, and TO believe
that the time is not far distant when they

AcoRREsposDENr from the First Virginia

A CORRESPONDENT from the First Virginia
District who is an earnest and unselfsh Re-
publican, writes nervously regarding politi-
cal affairs in that quarter. Let us remind
him that when party is so weak that it
can only be maintained in power by the re-
tention of indiscreet and ambitious mis-
chief-makers in office-men of the rule or
ruin stripe who do not hesitate to menace
their party with defeat whenever their
counsels are rejected, it is tolersbly fair to
presume that it has out-lived the days Of
its usefulness Do not be alarmed by the
bullying or threats of brSggarts who con-
stantly demand that you shall turn the
grindstone to sharpen their axes, and do
not give q cent whether you labor with
tools sharp or dull, or without tools Of any
sort. Once more, let us say that any man
whose patriotism is measured by the bound
aries of Virginia, and who insists that ma
lives of that State alone must hold its
offices, is not Republican either in princi-
pie or practice, and should not upon any
account receive the countenance or support
of Republicans for any position whatever.

It is question whether, admitting MIR.
Beecher to be guilty, the obligations upon
him to lead morallife were any greater than
those which were violated by Col Baker
of the British army, and for which viola
ton that officer is now suffering severe
though merited punishment, 1t is true
that Mr.. Beecher is clergyman, q teacher
Of morality and an exemplar; but the pro.

q parallel between the two cases, and re-
voting as the real crime Of one of them may
be, the presumed crime of the other isnoless
hideous Our English cousins, many Of
whom assume the guilt Of Mr.. Beecher, are,
therefore, estopped from further declsma-
ton against US as ibidinous peo-
pie. But the close student of pass
ing events will look for something
deeper than causes for recrimination in
these two affairs. Take them as we will,
they show that the highest types of human
nature are weak in the face Of temptation.
1t is easy to condemn the victims of such
temptations; but 1t Is not easy to account for
their weakness. To illustrate: There was
every reason why Colonel Baker should
have stemmed the torrent of passion that
carried him headlong into an abyss from
which he has emerged disgraced and ru-

The Tarboro' SoUtherner is the name of
a widely circulated and literally supported
Democratic newspaper in North Carolina,
which has for ITS motto, in bold type on its
first page, the declaration that white
men must rule America The spirit of
this motto IS dlscernible in every line of
its editorial matter, and its advice to its
readers il made up Of declarations that the
political equality Of the races STRIKES at
the fundamentals of Southern society,
whatever that may mean. We ostracise
. white man who votes the Radical ticket; ;
it bluntly says, and explains that the rea-
son for this estraeIsm is "beca1se he for
feits all claims to deeency," These state
ments are made the predicate for an argu-
ment to show that any Democrat who
lends his countenance and wealth - to
aid Radical to hold Office by becoming
his bondsmen, will forfeit hundredfold
more all claim to decency." The simple
and plain meaning Of al this is, that politi.
cal opponents shall be smitten in every pos
sible manner, even when they have been
duly elected TO office by q majority of the
votes of their fellow.citizens If this is
submission to the laws, or evidence of
peaceful and conciliatory inclination, we
do not understand it. 1t is one of those
pointed exhibitions of true Southern Demo-
cratic feeling, however, which the "gush-
Ing and sloppy tourists " have never re.
ported to their friends in the North. =

THE ALABAMA. DEMOCRATS AND TIE
HORH0Ms.

1t will be joyful intelligence to the
Democrats of Alabama that Judge Alex
ander White of that state has been selected
by the President to be Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the Territory of Utah !;
but the same news will carry dismay to
the hearts of Brigham Young and his fol-
lowers, as Judge White is jus. the kind of
man they have never wanted in that To-
cality since the date of the Mountain
Meadow massacre. On the other hand
the Republicans of Alabama will part with
Judge White, should he accept this ap-
pointment, with the profoundest regret.
His lofty, unselfish patriotism has endeared
him to all classes of them, while his wis
dom in council and eloquence in the per-
sistent advocacy of the principles of the
party, have stamped themselves upon the
brightest pages of its history. His IN.
fiinching defense of the Union, under the
most trying circumstances, and whitening
denunciation of the states right fallacies
of the Southern Rebel Democracy In their
very strongholds, have made him the OBJ
ject Of the especial hate Of the latter, and
the idol of the Republicans.
While swirl to acknowledge the eminent
fitness Of Judge White for the position
for which he has been designated, the Ala
bama Republicans do not hesitate to com.
plain that this enrichment of the territorial
jurisprudence is in like degree impoverish-
ment of them. They should reflect, how
ever, that the country in which the Judge
is about to expound the law and the Con-
stitution is the first which ever dared to
assume open and armed rebellion to the au-
thority Of the Federal Government The
position taken by Brigham Young in 1858.
and compromised by Senator Powell and
Ben. Mccullough, was precisely that de-
Tended by JEFF Davis during the war.
Judge White is just the man for the bench
among such a people. Utah is rapidly
growing into State and requires sound

psratory to the assumption of her state.
hood. Many will regret that the talents
of Judge White could not have been
awaited Of in his own State where his po-
litical friends could have still had the full
benefit Of his counsels in the management
of public affairs. But the Democrats, who
respect as well az fear him. will greet his
Western appointment with shout of eI-
ultation. .. ....

IDENTIFY they understand that the public is
sick and tired of attempts to arouse race
