Travellers. Attention .

You cannot have better cdCe tecataa on
your journey than Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. That prime medicinal agent
will enable you to drink braekish water
without running the risk of disordered
stomach and bowels, will neutralize the
influence of foul or miasmatic air, and
will prove most agreeable and whole
some stimulant and means of counteract-
ing the fatigues of travelling. On long
sea voyages, where the crews of whaling
or other vessels are almost wholly re-
stricted to salt meat, it has proved an adj
mirable preventive of scurvY, and in the
tropical seas it saves the sailor from ship
fever and malaria. It has ever proved
the surest reliance of the emigrant, ex-
posed to the miasmatic complaints which
prevail in regions of country newly clear
ed Of timber, where the rays of the sun
falling on stagnaDt vegetation, unexpos-
ed to them perhaps since the creation,
exhale vapors, laden with the seeds of
disease.
Aoclimation, or the habituation of the
constitution to the peculiarities of an I'M
accustomed climate, is greatly facilitated
by the regular use of this protective
elixir, which imparts such vigor and
elasticity to every nerve and fiber that
it is impossible for the vital energies to
become depressed TO a point inconsis
tent with health. In unfavorable con-
ditions of the atmosphere the Bitters
should be used at least twice day,
and evening being the best
times. A pursuance of this course when
there is danger, as the system develops
evidences of debility, will effectually
neutraliZe the peril

Governor POrter's nomination by the
coming State Convention is foregone
conclusion. The people are pleased with
his administration and desire to try him
further. His conscientious worth is
better investment for these times than
fuss and feathers.-BoliUar Bulletin.
Paragraphs and editorials similar
to the above come under our obser-
walton almost daily, and may be tax
en- as a general expression of opin-
ion in favor of the denomination of
Governor Porter. If there is any
opposition to him in this division of
the State. we are ignorant of it. In
Middle Tennessee the names of one
or two able and distinguished gen.
tlemen have been mentioned in con-
nection with the race, but we cannot
believe it was done in a spirit of fac
tious or determined opposition to
the present efficient incumbent, but
to compliment worthy gentlemen
from local and personal considera-
tions. In West Tennessee our infor-
nation is that the vote of her dele
gates in the Convention will be given
solidly for Porter. Since the speech
of Col. Thomas, Whose independent
candidacy has been announced and
denied, and again announced). was
delivered in Haywood county, the
home of Col. Thomas, that county
has appointed her delegates to Nash
vile, instructed to vote for James d.
Porter as our GubernatoriaI standard

STATE rAX4TT0N.

There are some persons in this
State. somes of deserved local prom
inence, some with political aspira-
tions. who would regard as libelous
the charge that they favor repudia-
ton yet these same persons bitterly
oppose a reafIirmance of that portion
Of the platform OF 1874 which treats
of State credit and the rate of tax
alton, and demand in an imperative
tone that the rate of taxation shall
be fixed by the next Legislature at
twenty cents on the hundred dollars.
1t is we'll to refresh our recollections
as to the declaration of the Conven-
ton of 1874. 1t was:
That we deplore the existence of all
Indebtedness, Federal State, county and
municipal, and demand that no more
taxes shall be laid upon the people than
shall be found to be essentially neces-
sary for the support of the State govern
ment, administered on principles of the
most rigid economy, and for the pay
ment of its just debts and obligations,
and for the preservation of its credit and
honor untarnished, and are therefore
opposed to any increase of taxation.
1t is urged without IAN increase
of taxation" the accumulated interest
cannot be paid and the accruing in
terest met as it comes to maturity.
This is true at the present aggregate
of taxable property, unless greater
retrenchment in current expenses
can be effected than can be reason
ably anticipated. But we have a
hope that the next Legislature will
set on foot a plan that viii lead to a
compromise or adjustment of our
bonded Indebtedness which will be
acceptable to the bondhOlders and
satisfactory to the people. But how
can that hope be realized if the
Democratic Governor and Democrat
ic Legislature be elected upon a plat
form pledged to reduce the rate of
taxation SO that only a sufficient
amount of revenue shall be collect
ed to pay the current expenses of
the State Government? The adop-
ton Of such a platform must result
in the defeat of the Democratic par
ty or the abandonment of all pur-
pose to attempt a readjustment of
our indebtedness. Let US not blind
ly shut out nor refuse every pros
pect of an honorable compromise,
unless reputation is our sole and
deliberate purpose.

Alarmed.

The Knoxville Tribune is apprehensive
that the Independent candidacy of the
Hon Dorsey B. Thomas will endanger
the supremacy and success of the DemOc-
We think not. He cannot attract any
thing like a formidable following from
the party with which he has been associ-
ated of late years, and the Republicans
will not take him up with the platform
he proposes. Shouldt the latter party put
out candidate from their own rank, it
would at once mass and unity the De-
mocracy, and leave Col. T. with hardly
enough adherents to make up respect
able funeral cortege. We deplore the
step he has taken ON his own account,
more than from an apprehension that his
course will result in serious harm to the
Democratic party.--Atltens Post.

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty" This is an old saying, and
to some it may seem trite but it has
never been more important that the
truth Of the adage become the watch
word of all true men than now.
The August election will soon be
here. Circuit Judges are to be elected
in the First and Second Districts.
In the First District J. A. Mckinney
is the nominee of the Democratic
party. No better man could be pre-
scented. We think there can be no
doubt Of his election; still, the only
danger of his defeat comes from a
source that surprises every one. The
spirit manifested by a little local op-
position shows what men will some
times do for personal aggrandize-
ment. Men who love a pure Judici-
airy have but one course to pursue.
There is not ghost of chance for
Col. Netherland. = Every vote polled
for him will only strengthen Mr..
Butler.
In the Second District we have
several good and competent men,
whose friends are urging their claims,
and some of whom have announced
themselves as candidates. While we
may have a personal preference, we
state plainly, this preference must
sink into nothing when the interests
of this Judicial District are at stake.
We do not speak from a partizan
stand point. The people can elect a
good man, a man who would wear
the ermine with honor in any court
in the United States. Personal pref
erence must be lost sight of here.
The other county officers, the sher-
ifs and trustees in the various coun-
ties, should be good men. We have |
snoh men offering in this county and |
in all other counties where the GA
zETTE goes. Let us elect good men |
men who will be prompt in the
of every duty. Not only !
should the people act in concert in
the August election. but they should |
be thoroughly organized for the No
yember conflict. The best men
should be elected to our State Legis-
lature. There should be no factious-
ness here. Look to it. that political
tricksters be not sent to Nashville.
Tennessee has never had a better
Governor. Let him be reelected
triumphantly, and with him legis-
lative body that can graphic with
our demoralized finances.
When it comes to the National
contest and the election of Com
gressmen, the duty of being Vigilant
and active rises above everything
else. The election of Hayes and
Wheeler means not only continue
ion of weakness, corruption, yenal-
ty, all that is vile and mean, but it
means ruin, bankruptcy.
This is not only the Centennial
year of American Independence, but
t will be the jubilee of emancipa-
ion from rottenness and misrule in
he National Administration, or the
otal destruction Of the purity of
government, and the prostration of
very interest Of the people. Then,
,e brave, be vigilant; be "wise as
erpents and harmless as doves"

THE CANPAJgN TN OHIO.

At the Democratic ratification
meeting at Lancaster, o., the home
of Thomas Ewing, on the 18th
inst, that eloquent gentleman made
a strong speech from his standpoint,
and advised a strong fight in the in
terest Of the party. His remarks
were given at great length, and, re-
ferring to the urgent necessity Of
bending every effort at. least to the
election of Democratic Congressman
from Ohio, he said:
-Four years more of Republican inan-
cial rule, and the people may sink pow
erless to relieve themselves by the ballot.
The House is already yours Hold it.
1t is the head of the Government, and all
else is subordinate to its power. Hold
it as Hampden and his associates held
the Commons until the Lords and the
Crown yielded to the people"
With the adoption of the follow
ing resolution and with three cheers
for Ewing and the Democratic party,
the meeting adjourned:
g Rssogrsd, That old Fairfield's Democ-
racy to night indorse and ratify the nom
nations of Tilden and Hendricks and
tile platform Of the st. Louisconvention."

Judge Randolph may have thought

Judge Randolph may have thought
it very smart and funny to make use OF
very vulgar language when speaking OF
his competitor at Elizahethton last week,
but decent and respectable men OF his
own party will not approve OF 1t. A
man can be smart and yet preserve his
dignity and the respect of decent men.
--,JOnesbOrO' Journal.
Judge Randolph would be en-
tirely out of his natural ele-
ment deprived of his customary vul-
garity and coarse wit, His Pc
culiar admirers would not recognize
their candidate were it not for his
congenial dialect. But when his
competitor gets with him, as he will
some of these days, then we shall
see where his vulgar wit profits him,
even with his "pards."

BRANNER lNsTITUTE.-There is pro-
hahly in East Tennessee no more eligible
or beautiful locality for a first class fe-
male school than the grounds and build
ings recently purchased by Col Joseph
A. Branner, at Messy Creek; and the
corps of teachers he has secured are gen
tIemen of the highest character as ac-
complished and successful teachers.
Prof. Myers, late of Martha Washington
College, has accepted the Presidency of
the Institute, and the faculty propose to
make its scholarship second to that of
no school of its grade in the South. The
first session win open September 9th.
Certainly, with the educational advan-
tages possessed by Morristown, Rogers
vile and Messy Greek, our local patrons
and parents will no longer seek schools
in other States at which to educate their
daughters.

~ Replying to an inquiry wheth-
er Gov. Tilden is a Catholic or a
Protestant, or whether he fails to
profess any religion at all, the New
York Sun says so far as concerns
Gov. Tilden's fitness for the Presi-
dency, his being a Catholic or a Pro-
testant is a circumstance Of small ac-
count. yet as a matter of fact he is a
Protestant and belongs to what is
called the evangelical branch of that
faith. What does concern Us, how
ever, is his sturdy honesty and stout
determination to fight corruption at
Washington as he has done at AL
bany. His success in this contest
will rebound to the advantage of all
the people of whatever faith, and to
enable him to make it they will vote
for him next November.

H Unjust and groundless OBJ.
jections have been urged against
Governor Porter's administration on
the subject of finances. We say un-
just and groundless because these
words are strictly applicable. It is
asked why it is that the interest fall
ing due on the State debt has not
beer met and paid? AS an answer
to this we will submit another ques-
ton, How can the Governor pay a
debt of the State without the money
to pay it? The Legislature, after
first repeating the law enabling him
to borrow. if necessary, the means
to meet the unprovided for necessis
ties of the State, by written solicita-
ton begged him to veto the bill, and
then made no provision to meet the
obligations of the State, leaving him
with his hands tied He made an
honest effort to borrow the money,
rather than that the credit of the
State should suffer, but the rates OF
interest asked were so exhorbitant
that he very properly refused to &C
cept money on the terms offered.
And in this refusal the common
sense of the people of the State will |
sustain him.

We will inform Uncle John of the
Morristown GAZETTE, that the suit of
clothes that he wants to put up on Til
denis election is "too thin" they have
been in use too long, and the hind pock-

them whatever. We "pass" on the

is no "thinner" than your excuse

much respect for honest poverty to
complain of your discretion. Thank
