y VIRGINIA Grow EATER.-The Ma
tional Convention of the Democratic party
has made its nomination for President of
the United States; and to the decision we
bow with as much fidelity and devotion to
party duty as if the nominee were our first
preference, instead of our last, as he act
ually was. We have persiStently opposed
the nomination Of Mr.. Tilden for Presi-
dent, as our readers know; we did so from
a stern sense of duty; and Of that opposi
ton we have nothing to unsay and nothing
to regret. We have believed that Gov.
filden was the weakest nominee who could
be put forward by the Democracy of the
country: but rs representatives. from every
section have looked the ground over and
decided against our judgment; and we, as
in plain duty bound. have only to say that
we hope the Conventions wisdom will be
justified .-Fr0m Petersburg H.der-AppeaI.

4 CARD TO THE AMERICAN PUEMC.-
For many years we have made two med
icines suited to the ailments of Il vast class
of sufferers. Thousands of cures have
been made by them, and, in fact, the word
failure could never be coupled with them.
But within the last two years counterieits
of our medicines have sprung up, danger
ons in their close imitation of our Trade
Mark. To secure the people we have
placed upon each genuine box of Holloway's
Pills and Ilolloways Ointment the fac
smile of the signature of our Agent, Mr..
JOS iIaydock. To counterfeit this is felony
We shall relentessly pursue any one who
initiates this with the utmost rigor of the
law. We most earnestly beg that the
great mass of the American people will
aid Us in our efforts to protect their health,
and help us in our task of bringing these
most unprimcipled men to the bar Of
Justice Uniformly refuse to purchase
Medicines purpolting to be ours unless Mr..
JOS. IIaydock'S signature is attached to
eacIi Box of Pills or Pot of Ointment and
the end will soon be reached.
The public obedient servants,
HOLLOWAY Il Co.
