:It?JJ yi? * Though
I should not bo willing to rein*
any guar*? on its safety and faithfulness,
more than on any other public trust, but
would throw onore guards around it, if
more were necessary, I feel every dispost
itldn iu favor of its present and long continued
future existence.
To 4he 'second jnterogntory " Are you in
i favor of giving the vote for Presidential Electors
directly to the people," ho a lya :
In answer yes,?and for various reasons;
one or two only of whiqh I will give.?
Thirty States of the thirty-one now in the
American Union, pursue that plan. It is
more in the spirit of republicanism to
give each voter an equal weight in tbe
election. And what can be done as well
directly is better than if done indirectly.
That tho principal is above the agent, and
that there is no use or an nm-nt to nor
form an act that it is as easy for the principal
to perform. More than either of
these as a reason for u?, however, that
since the election for electors must be held
throughout the Union on the same day,
and that a day when for our State to vote
at all, an extra session of the Legislature
must convene, at much inconvenience to
the members and expense to the tax-payers
the change should la- made. We
should assume it as our rightful privilege,
and voto as the people of the other States
vote, free of expense, and with a knowl edge
of who wo are voting for, and what
principles we are sustaining.
In reply to the third?" Are you in fuvor
of improving the system of Free Schools.'*
Mr. Ro8sor replies that he is, but does not
* suggest any plan for the accomplishment of
this purpose.
We cannot drop this matter without saying
we believe from a personal acquaintance
with Mr. Rosser, and knowing the landable
? spirit he has always exhibited for all measures
concerning tho welfare of Camden,
and Kershaw District, that if elected he will
prove a useful and faithful representative.
fy The Editor of tho Carolina YVutchraan,
published at Salisbury, N.C., in speaking
of two new papers shortly to appear in
that town, makes the following observation,
The "Jubilee," which will probably
make its appearance about the same time,
has greater encouragement to hope, and
less cause to fear, the political tendencies
of the day seeming to favor its success.?
Nevertheless, we should l?e sorry to Ih>lieve
that friend Long, oxen, was indulging
dreams of a splendid and speedy fortune,
with all the luxuries and ease of
such an estate, as the fruits of his editorial
career. Our experience is, that a country
editor is happiest when his hopes are
bounded by the fencing of a small vegetable
garden", and his expectations rise
not ab >vc beans and potatoes.
W< do not much believe in building castles
in the air, but did our expectations be
eon fin d to the narrow compass of a bean
and potatoe patch, our aspirations, we feci,
xvould not be more elevated than those animals
who so delight to grub in pcr.unbuLt
ing s'M patch.-a.
Z[- .'5'.
Fur the I*edoek.
Mr. Editor:?As we liave heard it insinuated
that our late Representative T.
K. Curkton, Esq., did "little or nothing"
during his term ot* service in the legislature,
we think it nothing more than simply
,/?*/ tliat the following brief but full
testimony of u disinterested witness at the
seat of Government itself, should be laid
before his constituents.
% The "Palmetto Banner," in noticing Mr.
ClkIlTon's reply to "many voters" makes
the following remarks which please republish
in the Ltdytr as it come from one totally
disinterested. FAIR PLAY*
cait. t. k. curkton.
The Ixtncaster Ltdijer of the 25th inst.,
contains a letter from this gentleman in
answer to some questions, the character of
which was indicated in u recent number
of our paper. CapL Curoton was elected
to the last Legislature, in which he made
a faithful ana useful member.

of Electors* and the Presidency.

' . . dtt Wasuinoton, Sept. 7.
The president and several members of
the Cabinet nre now absent from the city,
^ either for recreation, or upon business.
The new Postmaster General will take the
management of his Department on the
12th or 13th.
Some alarm lias been created again by
rumors of anti-Cuba movements in the
" United States. The order of the I?ne
Star, it is said, embraces a number of j>crsons
in the principal cities, who are
* promoting with secrecy and vigor, a plan
' lii.! I -t I..,!.. A .1 II
m aiu ui h revolution in uic isinnu. i iiese
rum or* are said, on tho other hand, to
' have been got up by Spanish spies, and
rfor the purpose of ingratiating themselves
with the Spanish authorities. Hut certain
it is, that the Spanish Minister here,
always vory.vigilant, has, of late, been
roach agitated by these accounts, and has
> made strong representations to this Government
concerning them. The Government
has, accordingly, given orders for
strict caution for the prevention of the
organisation of military expeditionaaganst
Cuba. But the fact is, that no movements
tgftgainH Cnba, are now in preparation or
oonUsmpf&tfon in this country. The rumor
of such a movement has reached Cuba,
and has, no do*!*, aggravated the usdtl
. " severity or Uie Cuban Government. The
iatnprtance of the late movuinenta in Cuba,
ban ho doubt, been greatly exaggerated,
k and evdtf tjko fif**|. i|? r that MkUIBtd M
mt ^*lHwM8HHH('r the j>e pie, is retorted
P a* a foebt**iTt?ir. The time w not distant
accordiog to former ex periprinciple
and fact, on which
^4g3r an foondcd.Cnba mast cea?c
to bo a dependency on the Spanish crown.
Whether Spain will anticipate the necessity
which as is well know to ler Government,
must, compel her at some day, to
relinquish Cuba, by selling it to the United
States, Is quite an interesting question.
The general opinion is, that if approached
now on the subject, Spain would reject,
even a hundred or two hundred millions.
I have no doubt, that under the next
administration, the offer will be made, and
pressed as an alternative to the further
prosecution of revolutiona y projects, and,
|H>rhape, to consequent war l>etween the
United States and Spain. No prudence,
on the part of the Executive Government
of the United States, can prevent the
occurence of events that will hazard the
peace of the two nations, in case of a serious
uprising in Cuba, and nf Rvmnmlioii/i
o ? ? V ?l *-* *movemets
on the part of American Filibusters.
A good deal of excitement was
created among our people by the fate of
the last Lopez expedition,and the Executive
Government did not escape much censure
for admitiug the right of the Spanish
Govorment to put American invaders to
death,
Among the items in the general appropriation
bill is seventy-five thousand dollars
for the purchase of books for the
Congress library, in addition to the sums
heretofore appropriated. This is as large a
sum as can bejudiciously expended in one
year in purchasing books. After a few
years, the new Library will be so far complete
as to leave us much less regret at
the loss of the old one. The new Library
edifice, now in progress, will also be a
great improvement upon the old one in
extent, connnodiousness and clegence.
The Libraries of the Treasury, State, War,
and Patent officers have been also much
increased in extent and value, during the
last year or two, and further appropriations
are now made to purchase works necessary
for them.
a ?
utatr, or rAt'l is worm apoUtUl
of theory: and the swarm of conclusive
facts that cluster round that ipcomnaruhle
preparation, Iloofland's German hitters,
prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson,
l'hiladelplia, establishing its value as a
tot.ic and restorative, are such as would
prevent incredulity itself from quetioning
its efficacy. In all cases of disease of
stomach, whether acute or chronic, it may
l?e recommended for its soothing, cordial,
and renovating influence. Dyspepsia,
heartburn, loss of appetite, nausea, nervous
tremors, relaxation, debility, ifcc, are relieved,
by the hitters in a very short space of
time: and a perseverance in their use never
fails to work a thorough cure. 2.

What was it cut with.?A party of

discussing the various topics of the day,
one of them remarked:
M Well boys, I suppose you've heard of
Davis Duncombe's marriage ! "
Some of thein had heard of it and some
had not.
44 Well," continued the speaker, 44 he is
married, and I was at the wedding A right
merry time we had of it, too, I assure you ;
but there was one thing that surprised ine
very much, and that was the manner in
which they cut the wedding c. ke?I can't
help thinking of it. Now what do you suptlORO

" The wedding ring," said one.
"No," answered the first speaker, " Yon
must guess again."
" A string," said one.
" No."
" A stick whittled to an edge," suggested
a third.
" A piece of tin," ventured a fourth, thinking
lie hud hit it.
? No."
" Well, what was it?" exclaimed they all
in one breath, nfter guessing every imtnaginable
article they could think of, except the
right one, that could either possibly or impossibly,
I e put through such a cake.
" Why," said the quiz' " they cut cut it
with a knife, to be sure."

ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDER!
GREAT CURE FOR
DYSPEPSIA. ^
DR- J. S. HOUCH^O^^ |p
Oil. J. 8. HOUGHTON'S PEP8IN, t lie 4
true Digestive Fluid, or Gastric Juice,
prepared from Rennet, or (lie fourth stoinnche
of the Ox, after directions from Baron
liivmp, ino great rnysioioffical Chemist, by
J. S. Houghton, M. I)., Philadelphia, Pa.
This is truly a wonderful remedy for indegestion,
Dyspepsia, Jaui.dice, Liver Complaint,
Constipation and Debility, curing after
Nature's own agent. the Gastric Juice.
Half a toaspooufui of Pepsin, infused
in water, will digest or desolvc Fivo
Pounds of Roast Beef, in about two hours,
out of the stomach.
Pepsin is the chief element, or Great Digesting
Principle of the Gastric Juice?tho
Solvent of the food, the Purifying, Preserving
and stimulating agent of the stomach and
intestines. It is extracted from the digestive
stomach of the ox, thus forming an artificial
digestive fluid, precisely like the. natural
Gastric Juice in its Chemical powers, and
furnishing a complete and perfect substitute,
for it. By the aid of this preparation, the
pains and evils of Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are removed, just as they would he by a
healthy stomach. It is doing wonders for
Dyspeptics, curing cases of Debility, Emaciation,
Nervous Decline, and Dispeptic Consumption,
supposed to he on the verge of .' ?
the grave. The scientific evidence upon
which it is based, is in the highest degree
curious and remarkable.
S CI EXT I VIC EI rID EXCE.
Baron Liebig in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: 4i An artificial digestive
fluid, analogous to the gastric juice,
may he readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach of tho cnlf, in
which various articles of food. as.moat and
eggs, will bo softened changed and digested,
just in the same manner as they would bo
in the human stomach
Dr. Combe, in his valuable writings on the
" Physiology of Digestion," observes that "a
diminution of the due quantity of the gastric
juiee is a prominent and all prevailing
cause of Dyspepsia; " and lie states that "a
distinguished Professor of Medicine in London.
\\ ho was severely afflicted with this
complaint, finding everything else to fail, had
recourse to the gastric juice, obtained from
the stomach of living animals, which proved
to lie perfectly successful,"
Dr. (iraham, author of the famous works
on ' Vegetable Diet," says : ' It is a remarkable
fact in physiology, that the stomachs of
animals, macerated in water, impart to the
(luid the. property of dissolving various articles
of food, and of effecting a kind of artificial
diifi'stion of them in no wise different
from the natural digestive process.''

.IS A JJYSPtiPSIA CURE,
Dr. Houghton's Pepsin has produced the
most man elous effects, in curing cases of de|
bility, emaciation, nervous decline, aud dys
peptic consumption. It is impossible to give
j the details of cases in the limits of this advertisement
: but Authenticated certificates
have been given of more than ftco hundred
I renutrhable. cures in Philadelphia, New York,
and Huston alone. These Were nearly all
desperate eases.and the cures were not only
| rapid and wonderful, but permanent.
I It is a great ticrrous antiilote, ami particularly
useful for tendency to bilious disorder,
liver complaint, fever and ague, or badly treated
fever and ague, and the evil efleets of
quinine, mercury, and other drugs upon the
digestive organs, after a long sickness. Also,
for excess in eating, and the two frequent
use of anient spirits. It almost reconciles
health with intent iterance.
OLD STOM. 1 ('11 COMPLA IXTS,
There is no form of aUl'stomach complaints
which it does tint seem to reach and remove
at once. No matter how b:ul they may licit
gives install> relief! A single dose removes
all unpleasant symptoms; and, it only
needs to be repeated for a short time to make
i these good effects permanent. Purity of *
\ ImmIii and rigor of hitami follow at once. It is
! particularly excellent in eases of nausea, vorni
iting, eramps, soreness of the pit of the
stomach, distress after eating, low, cold state
I of the blood, heaviness, lowncss of spirits,
I despondency, tendency to insanity, suicide,
&c., &c.
Dr. Houghton's Pcpski is sold by nearly
all the dealers in line drags, and popular medicines
throughout the United States. It is
propared in powder and fluid form, and in
prescription vials for the use of physicians.
Private circulars for the use of physicians,
may he obtained of Dr. Houghton or his agents,
describing the whole process of prcj
pa rat ion, and giving the authorities upon
! which the claims of this new remedy aro
I based. As it is not a secret remedy, no ol>|
jections against its use can be raised by phsi1
cians in respectable standing and regular
! practice. Price one dollar per bottle.
