COWARD!.Y ASSAULTS.

When a candidate for high Office is so
well liked and so popular with the masses
as to make his defeat difficult in u far
and honorable fight, mean and cowardly
men are not wanting who delight in
manufacturing lies and slandering his
good name. There are also those whose
selfishness prompt them to prostitute their
honor, pervert truth, and ignore right, for
the sake of injuring competitor in busi-
ness whose prosperity the envy, and with
whose business sagacity they have not
the talent to successfully complete in an
honorable way. These thoughts are sug-
gested by the mean, cowardly attacks
made upon me and my medicines, by
those who imagine their pecuniary pros
pect injured by the great popularity my
standard medicines have acquired, and
the continued growth of my professional
practice. Narrow-minded practitioners
of medicine, and manufacturers of pre-
parations which do not possess sufficient
merit to successfully complete for popu-
lar favor, have resorted to such cowardly
strategy as to publish all sorts of ridicu-
lous reports about the composition OF my
medicines.
AImanacs, "Receipt Books" and other
pamphlets. are issued and scattered broad
cast over the land, wherein these con-
temDtible knaves publish pretended an
alyses of my medicines, and receipts for
making them. Some of these publications
are given high-sounding names, pretend
to be issued by respectable men of educa-
ton and position, Tor the good of the
people-the more completely to blind the
reader to the real object in their circula-
ton, which is to injure the sale of my
medicines. "The Popular Health Al
| manac" is the ehigh-sounding name OF one
of these publications, which contains
bogus receipts, without grain of truth
| in them. Not loss devoid of truth are
those which have been published by one
DIR. I. of Detroit inithe Michigan Farmer,
| and by other manufacturers OF medicines,
| in several so called Journals of Pharmacy
They are all prompted by Jealousy and
| utterly fail in accomplishing the object o1
their authors, for notwithstanding theil
free circulation, my medicines commune
to sell more largely thanany other manu-
stantly increasing in sale despite the base
lies concocted and circulated by sucf
| knaves.
The people find that these medicines
possess genuine merit, accomplish VIVA
their manufacturer claims for them' an!
are not the vile poisonous nostrums Whlcl
Jealous, narrow-minded physicians ant
lsneaking compounders of competing me
dicines represent them to be. Among
the large number OF pretended allaiySe
published, it is a significant fact that nj

proving the dishonesty of their author,
| 1t is enough for the people to know tina
while thousands, yes, l may truthful

and have been cured, no one has ever n
ceived injury from their use;

siderable mention of the ice Instructions

LEcTURE-Dr. Fulton will give one of
his interesting lectures in the OperaHouse
in this city on the 28th of December.
Here is what is said of him abroad:
Cough himself could scarcely tell Il
story in better style, and yet DR.. Fulton
appears to rely very little on his powers
as an actor to keep the attention ofhis
audience. His lecture was crisp and con-
densed, with little redundancy, while his
language was always well chosen and
powerful. He enunciated great truths in
short sentences, and hurled them at the
audience with all the vigor of a man who
thoroughly understood what he believed,
and had vital force enough to almost
compel others TO think with him .--fdri0n

STOP THAT COITGH

or it will terminate in that dreadful dis
ease, consumption. We are aware that
prejudice existsl among many persons
against medicines which profess to cure
coug h or cold when bordering on con-
sumption, or even when the lungs are
effected; but we can assure our readers
that WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHBR-
RY will do all this; and in making this
assertion we speak from experience,
having suffered for months from cough
which, after using many remedies with
out any relief, threatened to terminate
seriously. We were, however, so fortu-
nate enough as to secure few bottles of
WIsTAR's BALsAh OF WILD CHERRY,
and are now entirely rid of the cough,
and restored to our former health. To
those suffering in like manner we re-
commend this excellent preparation.

GOOD sLEIGHING AND SLIPPERY SIDE
WALL s-HU N AwAY-THE CORN
MARKEr-A MISTAKEN ORDER, &c.
The slight additional fall of snow has
made the sleighing very good and the
bells have been jingling merrily far into
night. Parties from Wilmington are
over every night. One of your citizens,
while returning home on Wednesday
evening, had runaway which resulted
in the smashing of the sleigh and break
ing of one of the horses legs, in conse-
quence of which accident the animal has
to be shot; as the horse was a valuable
one that sleigh ride proved very expen-
sive.
Slippery pavements respect not persons

Ecening and your humble servant, both
kissed mother earth, harder than was
pleasant.
The river is full of heavy ice and very
little shipping is moving bark and a
few schooners are all the vessels now in
our harbor.
The low price of corn has prevented
the usual December shipments from here
and in fact our two local shippers have
brought very little thus far; Messrs. Stock
ly Bros, we understand, however, have
their schooner ordered from New York to
land but they have been unable to get
here ON account of the ice.
The Late Sheriff sold more real estate

thought was ordered and now shooting

The pin pool fever struck our city the

STATE so VEREIGNPYI IN CON-
GRESS.

Mr.. Ticker, NJ. c. from Virginia,
In his speech on the Centennial bill
the other day, re-afirmed the state
rights theory on which the South
based the right of secession, strenu-
ousIy denying hat this republic is a
Ha1ton-Mr. Tucker, in cannon
AsItf Other leaading men Of the South.
evidently has not realized the fact
that secession las been crashed out
by the loyal hosts of the Union. The
Southern Democrats come back to
Congress and re-affirm the pernicious
doctrine Of secession with the old
dogmatic confidence. 1t is a treasons
able doctrine, the Shaneful source of
with grew the monster ofrebelliop,
and 1t is the duty of every Union
man to protest against it, as did Mr.
Holman of Indiana, TO jet the South
Understand once for all that Calhoun
ism is not and cannot be accepted by
the North as . debaiable theory.
Mfr. Holman took issue with
Tucker .squarely on this point, de.
claring that If there had been auy-
thing settled beyond recall, in the
progress OF this century. il WIS that
the sovereignty of thespe9ple aud not
<tbe s~Svefefshty of tire States, was the
solid foundation on which the polit-
ical powers of the government rest.
The fact had not only been solemniy
established by the Constitution hut
had been re-afirmed on every battle
field. The American republic Was d
nation, 1t spoke through. ills ,aecrei-
Ned representatives with the voice of
a nation, and no argument or reason
Ing could impair the faith of the pep
pie in that fact. tAa
1t Is reported that the Southern
Dem Ocrnts are very much disturbed
by this declaration, which they re-
gard asA rebuke from one Of their
xybst heSR Miles, 1t -wus 1iiigff tinc
that the rebuke was uttered in no un-
certain tones. The South submitted
the question of State sovereignty aud
the right sf~ seeeysiop to theI M,ztrd OF
BATHS and tost, and that should have
been the end of Calhounism.
Mr.. Holman, in uttering this re-
buke to the unreconstructed South,
has,performed a service that entities
him to the thanks of the whole coun-
try. The courage he displayed in de-
nouncing this favorite theory of his
brother Democrats of the South,
