I1 "Who Will be the Nominee' A * V . - , Tildcn and Seymour have both declin- ?( ? od, "unconditionally*'the papers sjiv, to; v allow their names *o lie put before the j t, ,rf,. t'itieinnati Convention. This was wise in j j, gP.^Seymonr, ho being as be says "an "Id ( ,4nan'rdisabled by age for assuming the' j duties and responsibilities of the presi-j p deney. It was exceedingly wise in Til-J1! den, for there is no doubt that in spite of ? his fcstutenoss, his inlluence, and hisjv "bar*I," ho would havo been defeated.!. He would have been the Grant of Cineiu-'t "nati. A ihird-terrn president is not more J obnoxious than a second-term nominee i i 1 who failed to go to tiie White JI ousts although his party had opened the door for , him. Nothing sueeeeds like success and t nothing fails like failure. I j rf87i' ' Who, then, will be the Democratic!;. 1 nominee? Bayard, Field, Hancock, |, Payne, Morrison, Jewett, English, Kan- , dall, Thurnian, McClellan and other loss < * known men have been spoken of and , their merits and chances discussed. It is, ^ difficult to calculate the chances of these J, men, but our impression is th:it linyard. j "\vill be the choice of the Convention for . president, and McDonald or English for j vice-president, unless the democrats will ( do at Cincinnati as the republicans did at t Chicago?give the country nut nominees ; of choice but nominees of chance. And , Mirely the democrats should learn a les- , son from the republicans and take care j that the Cincinnati Convention will lie as i. unlike as possible the Convention of Chi- . cago. Delegates are supposed to be sent;. to conventions to select the best man fori <? | president and tho second best for vice-!, president. The Chicago Convention se-:( lected neuner lis oovsc, secouu-.vuni, uu. . third-beet man for president; and fur j vice-president they oilered a man whose! oqly tftle to famo is his connection with | j tw -corrupf practices in tlie Now York Customs. A gathering of discordant and jar- j ring factions, each pledged to the support | ( J * , of some one particular man and to the de- j feat of every otlieV man whose name hud ? . % been-spoken of as a candidate. tho Chica. go Convention played for.several d:tys tho undignified game of "dog-in-the-manger," no faction willing to give up to any ' other, and aXl factions at l:ist agreeing to ? - vdroptheir pet candidate and unite in sup- J, porting a man whom nobody had thought ' " . It will be to the lasting disgrace of tie, . democrati; party if the Cincinnati Con-j " "vention will play tho miserable farce acted . in Chicago. We cannot believe they will;, ^ doso. Although a national Convention ! ( may iu some respects be like tbo wind so j, that beforehand thou canst not tell whitli- j ^ , cr it goeth in selecting a nominee, still we j trust aud believe that the democratic Con- I. ventiou will go in the right directiou, will j ^ choose the best man, not for that man's j j . jsake, but for the good of the people. We ^ s. 'eannot believe the delegatos to Cincinnati j ] will do as did the delegates to Chicago? iurn their ballots into dice and trust to I * luck. It is a shame to a great people that I the nominee of the party now in power! got the nomination just as a man pets a! prize in a lottery; and now all republicans i, 'arc trying hard to believe that Garfield, , the nominee of chance, reallj' and truly ;, is the man of their choice. ), Ihe democrats in Convention havo now I. a golden apportunity. Let them -show | j the people that they will coolly and intel-1? ligentlv choose the best men for president' j and vice-president, that they are willing' < to sacrifice personal preference to the I. feood of the people, let them cast their I. * ballots like rational men, and also let them do it decently and in order and not; like shouting gamblers at a horse race. by mus doing, tney win not oniy Keep , the great democratic party intact, but . they will attract to Its ranks thousands of the disaffected and disappointed repuhli-j cans, and secure a great victory. The re- f publican party is not ready for a gr at! j battle lis array is disorganized and all ] the sugary things said by Con k ling, L , Blaine, and Garfield, about harmonious , action, unity of purpose, shoulder to j .4 Shoulder, and so forth, cannot and will not create that which does not exist. The:, old Roman was right when he said i, ; ; 9 ? As we grow hot in fnctlon 1 Iu battle we grow cold, , And the factions fought so fiercely at Chicago against each other, it is notto be ex-1, pe. ted they will be anything but lukc- . warm in the day of battle. Against re- 1 publican discord and half-heartedness let! the democrats place complete harmony I and earnestness; against a disorganized I1 *'' horde, let the democrats place a discip- j i , lined phalanx against Garfield and A rthur! who were raffled for when balloting fail-, ?d, let the democrats place Bayard or j Field, and McDonald or English, as the ' deliberate choiceof the Convention,?and j "ttieuoterrified" will without doubt place 1 their nominees in the White House. Abbeville Graded School. The annual session of the Abbeville, ? Graded School came to a close last Thurs-! day. Several of the members of the board of trustees attended the final ex- J ^ aminations, and at their request the lie v. Jas. L. Martin surprised and delighted. the pupils by closing the school on Thurs-: d$y instead of on Friday, as they had cx-j }>ectad. The additional holiday was] thankfully received. The next session | will open in the middle of September,? the exact day has not yet been fixed by i the trustees. The opening day will be| made known in the newspapors. Mr. S. j J, Graham, who has acted as principal! for two years, has been admitted to tie' bar, and the trustees must now look out j for a new principal. They desire to find j Jn tlie new principal a man wno is awe: i not only to teach the ordinary branches, |' bnt to keep up a classical department and * prepare boys for the university, lly the; J notice in our columns it will be seen that! t the anuual meeting of the Abbeville 11 School Association will take place in the j jCourt Houso on Friday, when a full j t meeting of the members is expected, asj{ business of importance will be laid bo- n fore the meeting. J The Militia. I v < Q General Manigault, the candidate for I .Adjutant and Inspector General on thei* Democratic State ticket, is a graduate of \ r West Point, and had four years service {j fti the late war. Under the inspiratfon of J his management and command the mili- j tia of the State will assume greater dignity and take on new life. This is not the place to discus the necessity of a body of militia to the Slate. That has been demonstrated too forcibly to need argu- ^ _inont to sustain it. It has been much the ^ Pshion with thoso who served through t e war to ridicule the militia. But we c e confident that General Manigault will rj in infusing vitality into it, and s raise it to the respectability and influ- ;enee which it had before the war, when ofliccs were sought as places of honor. Th? Legislature, we sincerely trust, will enact laws under which these things can j be done, and perhaps the hosts of Gener- j ^ als, Colonels and Captains who now! ^ ^. thMnflmntv honors will find matf-!t *>? * ?"?Vwv rV rial out of which to organize brig!ides and ' ^ .regiments and companies.

About a year ago we called attention in lieso columns to tho condition of ourj emeteries, ami especially of Long Catte 'hurchyar.l, and to the necessity of dong something to f>ut tlieni in better orer. llight well did the people of Abbe-! ille and of the country around respond i) the appeal. A committee was appoint* d consisting of three members from the, dwii and three from the country, Uptake 11 charge the improvement of TjongCihic 'liurciiyard. Money and labour jwerej iberally subscribed, and wisely expend-1 d, with the most gratifying results. The! Id burial ground was cleared of its rank jrowth of weeds and brush woorl, the calks were carefully cleaned, and the laeo of the dead was in fi very short ime made to assume a decent, orderly ,nd well-eared for appearance, worthy o: lie dead and creditable to the living. But all the good which then aud thu?vjis done eouhl only be of a transient nail re. The rich mould soon again sent up ts vigorous vegetation, the walks were soon again overgrown with grass and veeds; until now as we write, the graveyard stands in as great need of attciition md care as ever. ^This was foreseen last i-ear. Theeomniittce whosuperintemhd he work did not.Mipposo that their duty ,vas done and ended thereby. It was part of their plan,?the most important jiart by far?to devise measures for keepng the graveyard in perpetual good oiler and neatness. To effect ihis purpose hey considered the plan of appointing a regular sexton who should live near and ake charge of the graveyard throughout he whole year. The feasibility of ereetng a new fence and of extending the area, uid modifying somewhat the shape, was dso seriously thought of and discussed. The conclusion arrived at was a wise one ?to wait until the Summer or Fall of his year, and then to make a great effort .0 procure money enough to accomplish ill these desirable ends. The time will soon come when our people in town and country whose dead lie juried at Long Cane will have to decide .vhethcr tiie sacred place is to lit* left neglected, overgrown, a wilderness of needs and briars; or to be made and kept in neatness, decency and beauty, worthy to bo the last'- resting-place jf our fathers, our children, and ourselves. Tiio desire to beautify the graveyard and preserve it from disorder is common to all whose kindred lie buried there ; and many families expend much time and attention up* their burial lot, mid make it lovely with choice 1 lowers [ind shrubs. But it is necessary to have some organization so as to direct the efforts and make the results permanent. To accomplsih this the cotnmittuee will 1 * - *? 1 i:? rri.A soon appeal 10 uic jnnuie. iuv utvuiut-i^ uf the Long Cane Church session h ive uhvays acted pleasantly and liberally in the matter, and they are ready and willing to cooperate with the public in securing all the improvements necessary, and Jesirablo, and feasible. We confidently liope soon to see the old graveyard as it aught to he-well-kept, well fenced, beautified and under tho constant care ol' a sexton. Sec Ourselves as Ithers see Us. Let our readers read the following extract from the jYew York Timcti and see if they recognize tho picture. The people af Abbeville are included by name, and they will bo surprised to find that 111 oy ire freely discussing the prospect of an independent movement and cherishing "most bitter" feeling against "the 1 lagood men." The Charleston correspondent of tho Times has a vivid imagination md he paints a wondrous picture of our State Democracy and our .State generallv. Really we must open our eyes and see what manner of men we are, whether we ire Hampton men, or Ilagood men, or #?? IT^nun Dmi? V/l V/l Vli\y KJllfclVJ 11UU-)U ivuig, VI aristocratic bull-dozers, or their vassals. We confess we are puzzled ; and then the touching scene of the cows and hogs slowly starving because of the "otmoxious fence law" gives us pause. The truth is not fouud in the words of the "prominent Edgefield politician" either. Some straugo things havo come out of Edge, field and good things too, for it is not the Nazareth of South Carolina, although General Gary wouid have it so ; but wo don't think the nonsense at the end oi tho Times extract came out of Edgefield. The Times tells just as much truth in the following as it did in the article it published last year about Hampton's reception at the Abbeville Fair,?that is to say, the truth is not iu it,?not a particle of truth. Charleston, S. C., June 11.?Much has been said iu the South Carolina newspapers nbout restored harmony lu the Democratic party, and the general acquiescence in tlie result of the recent Democratic (State Convention. These assurances look well on paper, iml sound well In the ears of the Hampton men, but there is not the slightest particle of Iruih In them. A brief visit to the upper counties will convince the niost obtuse observer that the discomfiture of the Gary faction by the State House ring has widened the breach between the two factions. While the ixjunsel of the more prudent of Gary's friends may carry some weight and prevent the nomination of another ticket, it Is safe U> predict i litit ili?i:?rv mi'ii hp "Ktrnitrlitoiils." will mil support the ticket l'orecd upon tiiem by the tlugood men. in Edgelield, Abbeville, AnJerson, Oconee, Pickens and Greenville counties the reeling is most bitter, unci the prospeots ol' an independent movement are lreety discussed. Tlie chief grievances are the intolerable arrogance of the aristocratic "bulldozers" controlling the Hampton, or, erronejusiy .termed, "Fusion" wing of the South L'arollna Democracy, who look upon tlie Stale ns their property, and tlie working and middle classes as their vassuls; high taxation which amounts to slow eonliscatio.i ol the property owned by the agricultural classes; the obnoxious lence law, which protects the rich auil prevents the poor from raising or owning cattle. The hardship of the latter is most seriously felt in the mountain districts. I'nder the old law cattle were allowed to roam at large, which enabled the poor to raise their annual supply of jneat without much cost. The new law compels a "fencingu" ol stock and enforces the expense of feedng cattle on all who own no grass-lands. S'nie-tentlis of tlie Inhabitants of the di?ricts above named own only a jew acres ol niltivaLed land, in a corner of which their logs and cows are penned up, slowly starving o death. Men who have grown gray in the democratic party openly assert that they w ill lever vote another Democratic ticket. An>ther cause of complaint among the up-counry leaders is that the counties which have ictual Democratic majorities are not repivented 011 tlie State ticket nor among the 'residential Electors, the delegates to C'incinlati, or the Executive Committee. "The ruth is," said a prominent Edgefleld political! a few days ago, "we are tired of our arlsocratlc masters and want a change In tlie ,'olumbla Convention they started out with a iciicral and wound up witli a Colonel, and veu went so far as to provide for us another naster t<> rule after liagood. 1 am alluding o General Hratton, whom they elected Chairnan of the Kxccutive committee. Antieipaing a national triumph, they have already Ixed up a slate for the Federal appointments I 11 this State: Col. Slinonton to succeed UniedStates District Judge Bryau; Major liarkr for United Slates District Attorney; C0I-1 itiel Miles for Collector of Customs; Chanceior Ix'sesne for i'o-tmaster at Charleston; lampion's son-in-law, Haskell, for Collector if Internal itevenue. Senator Butler will be etired and General Conner wjll take his >lace. If the Republican party,'' ho concluled, "can be induced to nominate a good tick;t, we'll support it to a man, and wo'll make t our business to see the votes counted."?A*. i. 'limes. Down IVith Townscnd. Judge Townsend has openly attempted o organize an independent party in Marlboro. Let him meet the scorn and con-i emptof all good men, whether democrats >r republicans; failuro he will meet with* Hie independent man is always the selfecking man. Put him down. Sicsemper ndependeitiibus Mr. Hayes civil service orders are so ittle regarded that Green B. Raum the ioad of the Revenue Department at, V&shington was temporary Chairman of1 he Chicago Convention. It is said Mr. iherman is determiued to enforce the or-1 iers against him because he did not vote ->r him. But we take it Mr. Sherman ;ill vent his sploon on smaller fry thaji Caum. Following close upon the Narragansett' orror, of which we gave an account last reek, there have been soveral other coitions. But none of a serious nature. I \ ^ " " ''* Tlie Health of Abbeville. Tho good olcl town of Abbeville is! blessed, with "perfect health. IJut this is q so TOrtch her constant condition that wo fear she does not know or Hunk how for- I ci tnnato she is. We see in our exchanges ? accounts of towns infested with malaria, \ a shaking with ague, and burning with fc-! j' ver; while Abbeville has a clean bill of el health and is lrce from all these ills.' ?

Xo President of the United States has j ever used the veto power to the extent to | ; which Mr. Hayes has used it. His last ' act was to veto what was called the Mar- \ shall's Dill, which provided that Deputy j ^ and special United States Marshalls t should be appointed from both political [ parties. It provided also the manner of their appointment, and regulated their t duties and pay. Its object was to restrict J the powers and duties of the partisan :l I election Marshalls as they are now ap- j ; pointed. The bill was generous, fair and t desirable. Hut Mr. Hayes vetoed It. llis J j message is an ingenious attempt to show i ! that he bases his veto upon legal grounds, ? : To our minds it is clear that the meanest J ; party vpirit dictated his action. Senator i | Bayard was the earnest advocate of the j bill. So little respect had the Senate for i the message that it adjourned sine die j without considering it. J It is a pleasure to us to ho back in the j J I journalistic harness even for the short pe- i i rind of two weeks, till the editors return j: from Cincinnati.

We are in hearty sympathy with this de-[ velopmoiit, and congratulate our latei 11 brothers of The Press upon it. In renew- j ; ing our acquaintance with the weeklies | of the State, it has given us groat pleas- j uie to observe the appearance of prosper-, ity and improvement which all of them I I-wear.

There Is the fog of pantheism and t I llenan lias woven a fog about the head of ( Christ. Again this impresses me with the ( need of preparation for the final transition, j Some say there was twenty minutes between c 1 the crash and the sinking, fifteen minutes , spent in trying to escape, and then only live c minutes left; half of It spent in looking over u one's life and half of It looking forward to 1 a great oternita.

'JTie expectation was p to lay the foundation Jor the exclusion ( f the i fight electoral votes of the state. Mr. Buylid's minority report, forced the Republicans | to abiuTdoti their design. In nothing wasl.c more conspicuous than in the discussions nreeediiig and t ?llowing the election of 1S7C. Mr. itayard apprehended the direct conse-! tjuence from the doubt and uncertainty r<-| yarding the count of the Klectoral Jvote. It! was openly boasted that what the troops had j done in Louisismi they should do In Washing-j ton. Mr. Itayard addressed all his energies to the preparation of a remedy, in the form] ..i* li.ii- u-hi/?h viiiflieiilM Ihe iv*snlts of popular elections!, preserve the faith of tlie people in tIio Government and keep the country fniui lull Inn Into such coLMliiiuti of confusion as wonlil give a pretext to the military conspirators lo seize the reins of power. The Kleotral hill missed the Senate on January i!l, every Dt moerat voting for II. In Iho minotity in the Iiouse |of of Ueprtsenlatlves, there were only eighteen I Democratic votes. Mr. IJayard had advocat- j e<i ihe hill earnestly, ami as a nieinher of the | Commission he considered himself a Judge) upon the liench, What heaaid when tiie dect: Ion of th(! tribunal in the Loul-laua ease was I ratified by Iho.Senate, illustrates his enrne-t-1 ne-s aiid lits indignation: "I could not' n ?\v, even if X would, repeat "here the argu-i ments made by nie during tlie consultations j of theCommission, in opposition to the result arrived at by cluht of my associates. My | labors and my efforts have been crowded only by failure. Deep, indeed, is my sorrow.; ami poignant my disn).pi>inln:ciii.

In a later speech he said: lie icv-t in'.-that it was better, rather than that sliifei and confusion should th:0.vthc government into the hands of the body of men wi o stood only too ready lo clutch it by the throat and put it under the mailed hand of armed power, we proposed and preferred that the forms of law should be created, should be f.c- j lowed, even though the gravest disappoint-; ment arose; and we believe that the I'CMilt j was the overthrow of the American, people at the polls." This Is sutllcient to indi- i [ .ate the outlines of the work done by Mr. Uavard during tin; last ten years. What his principles are is distinctly set j forth in his various speeches, ami by his vote, j I. Mr. Bayard, accepting and assenting to the results of war and of emancipation, asj embodied in the Constitution, insists upon a [ strict aud rigorous 'limitation of the delegated powers of the gavernment. The doctrine! it: (tills: "The framer.i of our governmentI sought to limit power, and accomplished their mid by tho distribution of power. The very I .if 11'nc In II'ApL* ttu lltllitl* I talion." In another place lie said: "The rights of the States were Just as fixed and poslLlve are io-day as esstial for the good government of this country as therights of the General Government. Tliey are part of the same system, and you cannot takeaway the rights jf tlie States without weakening our whole system, without destroying the power of the1 people by exercise to make themselves tit for i self-government; and you cannot take away the rights of the General Government with- j nut making It lnelleetnal to carry out tl;e' w ishes of the people aiid make lit laws for them." II. Mr. Ha yard Is opposed to cliiss iegisln-j lion, which always follows from the consol-! (Illion ofgovernnient power. Power, he holds. iteal* from the the intniy to give to I he few, ano the instrument is class legislation. Whether I such legislation takes the shape ol tarltl's for I protection, the establisinent of National lianks or the subsiding of railronds and ] steamship lines, he opposes it. as tending to, break down the safeguards of freedom, to inireasc the expenses of Government, and I make the rich richer and the poor poorer. III. Mr. Hayard has consistently and inrnrlnMy advocated honest money. "The Uood Ilook tells us," he says, in one of Ills jpen air speeches, "Remove not the ancient! landmarks which thy fathers, have set," and I in tlicname of our fathers, of Washington, of Hamilton, of Jellerson, of Madison, ot Web-j der, of Jackson and of Calhoun, I ask that! :he ancient landmarks of our honest money : je not removed." lie demands it, also, fori< lie sake of the poor man, robbed of his earnings by currency of unstable value, and In! jrder to enable our producing classes to com- {i l>eto with Europe. "Our competition with ?ther nations," lie says. In close and growing :lose ; we must buckle down to our work and i legjeet nothing. We have honest weights Mil- IlieSSSlll'kr IlXetl uv iuw ; if i. ll? inmm, Iijimi | he restoration oftheyrcat meunurcof ivusiiyrn, I id holiest money from the foundation ot' tin*!

Mr. liayard demands hone.-ty nnd' < conomyin the administration of the Gov- b inmentin every department. "We are in 11 leht," Mr. liayard says, '"and we must nay the j i lebtor be disgraced and 1 will not admit there I s any alternative to the American people on i hat subject. We must study rules of eeono- i )iny to do this." Dishonest money, and disregard for the iimitationsof the Constitution I mve led to extravagance in government I vhieh must be stopped. "From a habit of ] leaJing with large sums in a reckless way, i in utter loss of the sense of values lias result- i d and the man wno loses the sense of relu- >. ive values is a most usafe guardian of the I mblic treasury. There lias grown up a vast < >ody of civil otllciaU, appointed under ii sys- i em which cannot bear examination, a civil J i ervice which, of Itself, threatens alltnost the j I icrmanenee and success of Kepublleau Insti-11 utions. The idea that public otllecrs of Ibis i t ountry wer established for the benefit of the JI tersons who till them is wholly wrong. The 1 ittice is instituted for the public service: II it' < lot for the benefit of tho man who holds it;|l I is for the benefit of the ueonlc who holds It' i iiui whose service is to be performed. The Is1 ;ood and faithful servant ofthepubllc is en- {f 11 l<-d to be secured and maintained, on the i Mine principles precisely as the good and in iiitnful servant ot a private employer. Thejj nan who does his duty In public oliice owes ! t milling to the public.

No subsidies ! No waste ! Just Laws, o onestly administered ! The civil power su- t reine In the State! Amity and conciliation, i c Liutual deference and concession, which the't eeuliarlties of our political situation render!') ndlspensible, and without which the restor- j e d Union cannot be permanent! These are b lie main planks In Mr. Bayard's platform, as; n eclared In speech and emphasized in action.; S tut lie does not favor suilden changes. In li is first speech on the llnnnclal question ho " aid "I'Yxthta lente t? n wis? maxim for gov- i !: ernments as well as indlviduals.and reforms to be wholesome must be gradual." Hence Ir. Bayard entered the Kunate, not as a funut:al free-trader, but as n revenue reformer, an dvocate of tariffs so far as Is needed to yield _ ecessarv revenue. Revenue reform, In his 11 lew, means three very essential things : The j efoncc of the people Jroni an oppressive voltne of tariff taxes; their further protection oiii the still heavier burden of class legisla-1 on, which, while It produces one dollar to! le (loverninent tajtqs the people six dollar.*, 111 y compelling them to purchase necessary j tl aods and articles from favored manufactur- I ei rs whose monopolies are defended by Act of j () ongress ; and finally by curtailing revenue | ft nd expenditures to put a period, ty the dls-jT races of official corruplon and profligacy.'t; ut "as a matter of justice to the business of | s| le whole country, we should proceed to deal i O y piecemeal with the resources of the coun- j O yAbove all things olse the bualness mnn1 dl , ob "a right to ask that stability Bhould be an i lemcnt pf the laws." 'J It nee<ls not to say that Mr, Bayard Is trust' [1 implicitly by the South, its one who will ever cease to labor for the assertion and vinIcatiou of every constitutional rlghtof every ; Ji tale, without distinction or <1 inference. 'IKie riniiplos lie enunciates and his views upon lose Milijects in which the masses of the jieolo ore most deeply intere<ted, make him, owevcr.u National candidate In the truest] 3nse of the words. i Of other candidaies it might bo said that |'i liey were personalis Inoffensive, tint would e unable id Inttucncc their followers,' und roultl naturally j;o with their party, right or 'ronjr. From this objection Mr. llayard lone, among Democratic candidates, Is absoiteiy free. In conversation with a friend he aid; '"If my party departs from lis principles, it Is no longer tnv party, hut somethli g ' ise. It. has irone away from me, noli fr? in ; h t,.

Attain in the debate on the I' ill regulating the count of the Klectnral vc?tc I u lesald: "1 feel that 1 have no right to give v ny Individual wishes, prejudices, interests, i ii indue indue lice over my public action.

Who fulllls every oilier condition, and ean carry New York, as well as New Jersey and Connecticut? No such candidate lias been named,excepting p.irhnps Go vet nor Seymour, who has so si rong a liolu upon New York as Air. Itayard has, by reason of Ills well-known opinlonson thoenr? rency questions, the practical character of Ills statesmanship, and his courageous assertion | of his political and financial principles, re-1 gurdless of gusts of unpopularity. Governor i Seymour has, under his own name, declined to be a candidate, and will not accept tiiel nomination, if it begiven him. There is none' now who approaches lo the level of .Mr. Itayard. A political hack, a well-worn partisan, cannot be elected. The country yearns for u| candidate who is in sympathy with the strug-1 giing artisan ae well as with the prosperous merchant, who Is us ready to defend one sec-1 tion of the country as another, who is proud of his blithrlght as an American citizen, whose hope, faith and duty arw bounded only ] by ilio limltsof thel'nion and the restrictions ; of the Constitution.

There is generally a considerable loss of mem or)*, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left undone somediing which ought-to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yel i lie can scarcel/ summon up fortitude j enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts ! every remedy. Several of the above j symptoms attend th? disease, but cases | have occurred where few of them ex| -:sted, yet examination of the body, ! after death, has shown the liver to | have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in ; cases of Ague and Fever, when j taken with Quinine, are productive of j the most happy results. No better j cathartic can be used, preparatory to; or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as | a simple purgative, they are unequaled. JiEn AHti OF IJIITAT1UH8. The genuine are never sugar coated.
