From the S. +. Citizen.


1fs- The question is often asked-"Why is it
that DR.. J. e. Young is so successful. while 9th
er advertising Physicians are failing from day to
day." The answer must be or should be- plain
ly 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
ticc, that he is perfect master of his profession
and can insure all relief from their troubles; 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 his increase of business that he has
been obliged to associate with himself two other
physicians. both of extended know edge and prac-
tice. We would advise all afflicted to call upon
him in preference to any other Physician. We
are informed that he treats entirely on the vcge-
table System, and will always warrant perfect
cure His office is at 2l0 Clay street, opposite
the upper corner of the Plaza.


From the Times anil Transcript.


There are thousands in this State suffering for
want of scientific medical treatment, and they
fear to apply to n physician, because they have
been deceived. or their friends have been, by
some OF the charlatnns who infcst the communi-
ty, and who publish themselves good physicians
professors, etc. To oil such we unhesitatingly
recommend DR.. j. G. Young, asa physician in
whom all can place confidence. lie is q man OF
eminent and profound study, q good surgeon an
honorable man, and one who can sympathise with
persons in afiiicton. His standing as physician
and gentleman are both guaranteed the first by
his medical works. which are an honor to their
author 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 circles of ac-
quaintances. We say to all afflicted, call on him.
as he will at once state the to you, and you
may rely upon his judgment. We like his prin-
ciple-n0 cure nopdy.

Thou cherished idol of my heart,

We can hardly conceive the vast amount of
wealth comprised in New York city. At a late
meeting of the Board of Supervisors of that city,
the Comptroller sent in a communication, stating
that the amount of money required to be raised
by taxation for State, county and city purposes
was S9,728, ,O67.6O The assessed valuation of
the property of the city was estimated by the
Committee on Annual Taxes to be $577 1880, ,656.

The following article, which we ind in
the Valley Farmer, a Western Agriuultu-
raj periodinal, we commend to the attention
of every Farmers boy. Parents should
also point it out to their sons, and if nee
essary read it to them carefully, and then
hand the article over to them, without
comment, unless the remark be Of a mild,
pleasing nature:


ain the wide world there is no more i'm
portant thing than farmers boys. They
are not so important for what they are as
for what they will be. At present they
are of but little consequence too often.
But farmers boys always have teen, and
we presume always will be. the material
out of which the noblest men are made.


They have health and strength; they
have bone and muscle; they have heart
and will; they have nerve and patience !;
they have ambition and endurance and
these are the materials that make men.
Not buckrams and broadcloth, and patent
leather and beaver fur, and kid gloves
and watch seals, are the materials of which
men are made. 1t takes better stuff to
make a man. 1t is not fat and flesh and
swagger and solf-conceit; nor yet smartness
nor fippancy, nor foppery, nor fastness.
These make fools bat not men; not men
such as the world wants, not such as it
will honor and bless. 1t is not long hair
nor much beard, nor "a cane, nor pipe,
nor cigar, nor quid of tobacco, nor an
oath, nor glass of beer or brandy, NOR a
dog and gun, nor pack of cards, nor a
novel, nor vulgar book Of love and muir
der, nor tale of adventures, that makes a
man or has anything to do with making a
man.


Farmers boys ought TO keep clear of all
these idle, foolish things. They should
be employed with nobler things. They
have yet to be men of the clear grit, hon
est, intelligent, industrious, ambitious men
who shall love their country and their
kind. With the means they possess how
easy for them to be In fact the first class
men. They have land and stock and
tools; they have health and time and mind;
they have schools and churches and pa
pers; they have books and perseverance
and the heart and hand for work. More
than this they need not Letthem awake
aud work aud read aud study. 1t ia not
, all work, nor yet all study, thay will make
them men Of the right stamp. They mus

The n. Y. EIpress, specul ating on the troubles
at Charleston, thus refers to the prospects of es-
tablishing party:


We are not sure that a disruption of the Con
vention, in the present demorallized and demor-
azing condition of parties, ought to be looked
upon as a blessing rather than misfortune
True it may disclose a sad dwindling away of the
elements of nationality in the once zone and indi-
visible - Democratic party, but there will be
some compensation for this in the rebellion,
which it must lead to, against the entire machi-
merry of the convention system, W hlch has stolen
all the real substance Unpopular sovereignty from
the people, and given it to the professional poll
ticians. Anything which is calculated to destroy
the despotism of party, and the party machine,
and to give the masses of the people an opportu-
nifty to assert their independence, cannot be cal
amty, IN our Judgment, but cOnSummation de-
voutly to be wished


Nevertheless, these signs of the times only go
to show, more and more, the absolute necessity
of the great '' Constitutional Union Party" now


in process of formation, quietly but surely. With
a Democratic party South, and Democratic par
ty North-each at open enmity with the other
how long will it be before the national element
will be as thoroughly eliminated from it as it is al
ready eliminated from Republicanism? ma
tiona, Union organization can alone save the
country from the perils of sectionalism, that
thus rapidly multiplying and we are happy to
believe that that organization, powerful and pop
ular already will be sufficiently potent to smash
all the machines, and enable the people them
selves to elect a President in November next
The politicians have had the game in their hands
too long. It is high time there shuttle
and a new deal of the cards. Hence we conclude
that the quarrelling over the board at Charleston
may be- after ALL a thing to be reoced over rather
than to be deplored.

Mr.. Pool said his competitor argued that nd ua-
t0rem would tax tin cups, thimbles, chickens,
goose eggs, &c. The Legislature, said Mr. Pool,
had the right to tax all these things now-it had
the right to tax everything but the negro and that
was what they wanted to get at 1t was just and
right that they should be taxed as other property,
and it was the principle of justice, right and
equality that he went for. He advocated it here
and would advocate it in the West-he would ad-
vocate it everywhere. All the protection the
slave owner wanted was that all other property,
like slaves, should be taxed in proportion to value.
He advocated free suffrage because it removed an
unjust restriction, and he was for it now He
was for free suffrage because he wanted equality
at the ballot box; he was for ad ualorem be-
cause he wanted equality at the tax box 1t
was just and right. He considered these great
principles of equality and justice of more impor-
tance than protection to slaves; and argued that
slaves had all the protection they needed. He
denied that ad rGtOrema would create jealousy be-
tween the East and the West. He referred to the
value of negroes under ~ and over SO which were
not taxed at all. He would not discuss the ques-
ton of poll tax-the Legislature could regulate
that matter He was willing to trust the people
it was their Constitution and if they wanted to
change it let them do it,


Mr.. Pool having consumed his time, closed. His
speech seemed to give great satisfaction to his
political friends present We have not attempted
to follow either gentleman, or to give anything
like report Of the speeches, for we know we
should do them both great injustice, but we have
simply attempted to allude to the principal points
treated by them in discussing the proposed change
of the Constitution-or, as it is generally called,
Id VaLorem.


Each gentleman entitled to reply of 30
minutes. Gov E. in his reply took occasion to
correct Mr.. Pool in several particulars. Gov Ell
lis opposed a convention because, for one reason
it might affect the basis of representation and
cause the West to lose Senator's and he contend
ed that the West had no now than she ought
to have. He spoke of Mr. POOLS votes against
Railroads, against Mr.. Bleosoe's od valorem bill
and refusal to vote for bill to reduce the tax on
land to show the inconsistency of his present po-
stion.


Nj. Pool replied to the rejoinder of Gov. Ellis
by explaining positions already taken, reverting
again to the position of his opponent, and decla-
ring his unaterable- determination to contend for
ad calorem with whatever strength and ability he
had until the right to tax slaves as property was
incorporated into the State Constitution. Mr.
Pool is a very clever speaker and an adroit de-
batter.


We glad to be able to say that the bearing
of the gentlemen towards each other courte-
Gus and kind, and we trust that the same good
feeling and dignity of manner may continue to
characterize their discussions until the campaign
is over.


This short notice of the discussion has been





injustice in any way we assure them and the pub
lie that it is unintentional.

The success of Walker we consider OF

the suicidal claim for protection which set
the brains Of so many on fire, and serves
so many others pretext to crafty their
personal ambitions. No territory that We
can acquire through the Federal Govern

friend of the South ought to resist such
acquisitions. We have not negroes enough
