s+En our great and glorious Amerc an Re-

sionists, the elements OF national longevity, if
not of national immortality, stand in bold

vacant; not even for moment; for there

to Eli any Station Of public trust, from the
Presidency of the United States, down to the
lowest and worst paid functions Of a town
ship official. As brave soldiers, in the rear
of an attacking column, rush forward to fill
the places LETT vacant by their fallen file lead
ers, so the people Of our gloriouS American
Republic spring to the front to fill the offices
which death or resignation or limited service
has left untenanted While the Offices are

their becoming empty, orr great and glorious

The Hon. Thomas Overton Moore, the
new Governor of Louisiana, says in his
inaugural address:


8 There is a patriotic minority in the
non -slaveholding States who are faithful
ly upholding the rights of the South aud
battling for the maintenance of the Con-
stitution The entire South makes COM
mon cause with this minority, constitu-
ting great national party, all striving to
conquer and annihilate that sectional par
ty whose success will Immediately leopard
and finally sever the Union. The triumph
of this great national organization will be
the beginning of a return to that perfect
union, that general welfare, and that
domestic tranquility which the constitu~
tion of the United States was intended to
secure. Such a triumph would greatly
restore the old harmony and awaken
again the old sentiments and it is the
last hope Of those who like myself, desise
to see the Union perpetuated. Louisiana
does not desire to see these States severed
from their present political connexions"

MORBID NERyoUsNEss.-The morbid nerv-

From the s. f. Citizen:


1zg"The question Ia often askcd--"Why is 1t
that DR.. J. G. Young is successful, while other
advertising Physicians are failing from day to
dap The answer must be or should be, plainly
apparent to all; it is, that he understands his
profession, and attends to it; and as his practice
increases his knowledge extends. So close has
been his application to his unprecedented prac-
tce, that he is perfect master of his profession,
and can insure all relief from their trouble; and
while others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered,
his course is onward and upward. placing him at
the head of his arduous profession. So great has
been bis increase of business that he has been
obliged to associate with himself two other physi-
clans, both Of extended knowledge and practice.
We would advise all afflicted to call upon him in
preference to any other Physician. We are in
formed that he treats entirely on the vegetable
system, and will always warrant a perfect cure.
His Office is 2l0 Clay street, opposite the upper
corner of the Plaza.


From the Times and Transcript.


There are thousands in this State suffering for
want of scientific medical treatment and they
fear to apply to physician because they have
been deceived, or their friends have been, by
some OF the charlatans who infest the community
and who publish themselves as good physicians.

recommend DR.. J. G. Young as physician in
whom oil can place confidence. He is q man of
eminent and profound study, a good surgeon. an
honorable man, and one who can sympathise with
persons in afiicton. His standing as IL physician
and gentleman are both guaranteed-the first, by
his medical works, which are an honor to their
anthor, and the extensive and highly successful
course Of practice with which he has been honor
ed since his advent in California; and the latter
by his numerous patrons and large circle of ac-
quantances. We say to all afflicted, call on him,
as he will at once state the case to you, and you
may rely upon his judgment. We like his prin-

CExtEaet from \ leader In the WellsburE HeraId.1


Why do they not, like men, make a
plain statement of their grievances, in the
shape of an Indictment, against the Feder-
al government, and stalking their lives,
their fortunes aud their sacred houOrS
upon the justice of their cause, challenge
the world, as did our ancestors, in its
vindication. The reason is, because they
cannot frame such an Indictment rs will
be truthful and command the respect of
mankind. They have no substantial griev-
ancc to complain of, and they complain
of none. The absence of such, is a main
cause OF aggrlvation. They have iteratei
and reiterated indefinite charges against
parties equally indefinite, until they are
dis2usted with themselves and angry ct
fate. Not a single wcll-authenttcated
public or private wrong has bccU alledged
AMI proven against the Federal govern
mert, by any man of the South, since the
government was founded; and very few,
If any, can be alledged and established
against the State government of any
Northern State. Massachusetts, and per-
haps other States, have passed their per-
somal liberty bills, with the alledgcd intent
10 render practically imperative the Fugi-
tive Slave Law, but in passing them they
expressly disavow any intention of con-
fictng with the Federal Constitution, but
claim that such bills were necessary for
the security of their own citizens. What
ever was the intent of the legislation, no
master yet, who ever sought his slave in
free State by legal means, has been re-
sisted by authority or robbed of his strict
legal rights, unless by mob violence, for
which the authorities could not be held
fairly responsible. 1t has been and is ex-
trcmely difficult for master to recover
his fugitive slave when once he finds his
way into certain sections Of the country,
but it is equally difficult to enforce any
law, when public opinion is against it
No people know that fact better than the
citizens of the Southern States. The
uncertainty of slave property, when once
it gets on to free soil, is one of the attri-
butcs of lire system, which it is the part
of the owner to guard against; but it
is folly to talk of disnnion because the
people of particular section will not be
educated into enforcing a law which they
are taught to nhhOr.

1t is great thing to start right in vo-
ting as in everything else. The young
man who gives the first vote right, has
the qualification to refer to it in after years
with pride and pleasure. The present is
an era in our political history much like
those of 1900 and 1928. The venerable
men of this day, few though they be, who
voted for Jefferson in 1900, and the nu-
merous body of men who 1923 cast their
first vote for Andrew jackson look upon
the event as the proudest of their lives
So it will be in after years with the young
men who in 1860 cast their first vote for
the man of the people, Stephen A. Doug
las. Hence all young men who will for
the first time vote for President in the
year 1860, should be careful to start right
and vote right. In after years to them
it will be an incident of which they can
speak with pride. Twenty years hence
the young men of this Gay who thus vote,
will be enabled to say, 81 cast my first
vote in 1860, for Stephen A Douglas,
the great Champion of Popular Sover-
eighty" Then young men start right,
and work heartily for the election ofthose
champions of the people, Stephen A.
Douglas and Herschel V. Johnson.

This was the exclamation of a stout,
hearty but lazy young man the other day.


Now, suppose you had capital--whst
would you do with it? Let me tell you,
you have a capital. Haven't you got
hands and feet, and body and muscle, and
bone and brains, and don't you call them
capital! Oh! but they are not money say
you. But they are more than money
1fyou will use them they will make money
and nobody can take them from you
Don't you know how to use them ? If
you don't it is time you were learning
Take hold of the first plow, or hoe, or
jackplane, or broadax that you can find,
and go to work. Your capital will soon
yield you large interest. Aye, but
there's the rub, you don't want to work,
you want money or credit that you may
play the gentleman and speculate, and
end by playing the vagabond, or you
want plantation and negroes-that you
may hire an overseer to attend to them
" vhile you run about the country and dis
sipate and get in debt; or you want to
marry some very rich girl who may be
foolish enough to take you for your fine
clothes and good looks, that she may sup
port you.


Shame upon you, young man! Go to
work with the capital you have, you'll
soon make interest upon it. and with it
to give you as much money as you want,
and make you feel like a man. If you
can't make money upon what capital you
have, you can't make it if you had a mil
lion of dollars in money. If you don't
know how to use bone and muscle and
muscle and brains, you would not know
how to nse gold. If you let the capital
you have lie idle and waste, and rust Outfit
would be the very same thing with you if
you had gold, you would only know how
to waste.


Then don't stand about like a great
helpless child waiting for somebody to
come and feed You, but go to work.
Take the first work You can find, no mat
ter what it is, so that you be sure to do it
like Billy Gray did his drumming-well.
Yes, manage the capital you already
have, you will soon have plen;y more to
manage; if you can't or won't manage
the capital God has given you, you will
never have any more to manage. Do
you hear.
