DRAGGING OUT EXISTENCE.

The nervous, weakly invalid docs not enjoy
life. but merely ''drags out existence as the
phrase is United for the active pursuits OF
life, and incapable oi partakinS of its pleas
ures, to which health alone can give zest; dis
inclined to social intercourse, and prey to
melancholy, the valetudinarian is indeed an OBJ
ject of pity. Yet there is nothing in all this that
cannot he remedied by that genial Alternative
tonic and nervine, HOstcttcr's Stomach Bttters,
which supplies deficient stamina braces the
nervous system, and Overconies those bodily
Irregularities to which nervous weakness is most
frequently attributable. Diseases of the kidney
and bladder, imperfect digestion and uterine
troubles are fertile sources of debility. Their
eradication however, becomes matter of Ger
tainty when Hsstetter's Stomach Bitters are
systematically used for that purpose. The Bit
ters likewise annihilate and prevent fever and
ague and other debIlitating febrile complaints OF
malarial nature. aprl-lm

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-As the time is
near at hand when the people OF this,ths 11th
conversational district, should canvass the
claims of prominent citizens of the district
for The honorable position Of representative
in congress, and in view o: the great un-
esrthing Of corruption, and the opening of
the sealed book OF frauds and thsfts from
day to DAY now going on at Washington.-
a book that has been swelling in volume du-
ring the last fifteen years,-where perjury.
bribery aud thievery pervades the precincts
of every office from the chief executive to
the lowest scavenger where thievery has
become chronic in all the ramihcations OF
office; in view of the searching investiga-
tions, and the eminent ability that will be
required in the next congress to ferret out
these shameful peculations, and to purify
the political atmosphere at Washington, it
devolves upon the people Of this district to
look to the ability of their future congress-
man. aud his integrity as man before
sanctionIng his preferment. In obedience
to this safe and prudent rule, our eyes will
linstiuctively turn to Hon. II. G. Wallace. u
man whom we know. who was reared
tions of honor, ability and integrity. When
we needed representative in the late state
convention 10 form an organic law for the
state, all eyes, from Sniabar to Waverly,
| turned TO him with q unanimity never equal
| lod in this county and even Saline and Pet
| tis counties WED with US for the honor of
greater uuanlnity in that choice at the
polls.
| When he, with the greatest minds of the
state, assembled IN the state convention and
commenced his lsbort, there was no citizen
Of ANY party in our county, who Was not
sproud Of the energy aud ability displayed for
our good, by our representative in that a.
sembiy Of eminent men, where more good
sense, judgment aud legal attainments are
| necessary than to discharge the ordinary
duties OF u representative In congress. In
moulding that une xce ptional organic code,
our representative has left wholesome and
striking imprints OF statesmanship thereon.
that will, in after years, rebound to his
homer, and 10 his states greatest good. We
lhave NO desire to impugn the talent or abl
lity OF Gen. Clark he makes respectable
member, but will never have the vim Or in
liuence Of his father. There is such thing
as wholesome rotation in Office, As we'll n
rotation In counties forming district.
Lafayette county has never had the pride
or pleasure OF honoring one of her eminen
Icitizens with n seat In the congress Of the
United States, with the exception of a few
months service Of the Hon. Mr.. Akers
Pointing to Mr.. Wsilace's history, it is un
necessary fer me to say thst he is Il self-mad'
man, and that he has legal attainments un
surpassed in upper Missouri. and u lifelong
