sense Of justice to him as one cheated Of
his Office by fraud, bribery and traitorous
conspiracy, and then as one who had been
basely maligned and villi6ed by his per.
sonal enemies as the impersonation OF

if the National Democracy, in convention
assembled, believe that these latter rea-

alarming, the average of life being lessen
ed every year, without any reasonable
cause. death resulting generally from the
most insignificant origin. At this season
of the year especially, cold is such a
common thing that in the hurry of every
day life we arc apt to overlook the dangers
attending it aud often find too late, that a
Fever or Lung trouble has already set in.

Why are not the Arabs, aud the Indians,

There is reason to believe that more

The attention of the people of this city
and country is specially called to the num-
of deaths reported in the papers from that
dreadful disease, CONSUMPTION. In fact,
this disease is reported to be constantly
increasing, as can be seen by examining
the mortality list, and all caused by not
breaking up a slight cough or cold as soon
as it appears, which can be easily done by
using HAIEs' HONEY OF FOREGROUND AND
TAR, an article which was discovered by
the late DIR. Hale, "a celebrated physician of
Europe, and used in his private practice
for many years with great success. The
present proprietor, believing this market
required just such an article, has purchas-
ed the same at large outlay. and is now
preparing it according to the original re
cipe. And those who have used the artic
