Where can we find man better qualified for
the position of Lieutenant Governor than the
Hon. Marshall Hanger, ofAugusta ?-C2drloaes-
UiIe Chronicle.
We answer that, in our humble opinion, nc
where. 1t is the function of the Lieutenant
Governor to preside over the Senate, and the
fact that Maj. Hanger has demonstrated, by his
long and successful service as Speaker, or pre-
siding officer, of the House of Delegates, that he
possesses peculiar and pre-eminent qualifica-
!. tions for presiding officer over q legislative
body, conclusively establishes that he is admit
rably qualified to discharge the duties incum-
bent upon the office of Lieut.. Governor.

had the sagacity to suggest both of them
Staunton is too modest to press the claim o.

scientific attachments of man have been direct
ed to a study of the human system and dis
covery of the various ills to which it is heir. If

ing an agent by which the slightest ache may
be overcome, he has been hailed as great
benefactor of his race, and with great propriety
the world have gladly sung pfeans to his praise.
This being proper, in the discovery of a remedy
for single disease, how much more indebted
are the whole human family to the inventor of
BAKERS BIrTERS, q medicine that has stood
the test of time, and proved a panacea for Dys-
pepsia, Diarrhoea, Cholera Morbus, Cramp

nostrums of quacks and empirios have flour
