J will suffer death before I will content or ad
vise my friend* to content ta any concettion or com- |
promise which lookt like buying the privilege of ,
taking possession of the Government to which ire
have a Constitutional right : because, whatever /
might think of the merit of the various propositions
before Congress. I should regard any concession in
the fact of menace as the destruction of the Govern
ment itself, antl a aonient on all hands that our sys
tem shall be brought down to a level with the exiting
disorganised state of affairs in Mexico. But this
thing will hereafter be, as it is now, in the hands of
the people; and if they desire to call a Convention
to remove any grievances complained of or to S' ve
K at uarunties for the permanence of rested rights,

from a Slave Stale, . it my solemn, deliberate, and
well-matured de.,".i-.c'ion that no power- no

sive introduction r f Slavery either south or nothr
ef that line. Sir, while you reproach, and justly,
too, our British oncestor* for the introduction '/
this institution upen the continent of America, tani,
for one, unwilling ihal ths posterity o/ the pre ent
inhabitant* off California and New Mexico
thali reproach us for doing just u-hat we res
proach Great Britain for doing to us. If the
citizens of those lerritories choose to establish
Slavery, lam for admitting them with si.ch
provisions in their Constitutions ; but then, it
teill be their own work, and not ours, and their
posterity will have to reproach them, and not
us, for forming Constitutions allowing the in

The County Statement of Receipts and Ex

News- This is the last week we will pub.

See what They have Done.
The Democratic party have been in power,
and controlled the Government at least eixty
•at of eeyenty two years. For the last twen
ty years they have bad almost unlimited
•way. wbile the nigger drivers of the South
have dictated the policy of the party and
forced upon it tho fauatical and Disunion
dogmas and doctrines ofJuo. C. Calhoun. —
By adopting these dogmas, and by departing
from the teachings of the Fathers and the
•trict letter ot the Constitution, tbey have
aot only ruined their parly but have brought
bankruptcy and disgrace upon the Govern
ment. The Republican party must be iuno
eent, for a party which is not in power can
do BO harm. The Democratic party, and it
alone, is responsible for all oar evils.
It has destroyed—fearfully, probably for
ever —the Union of the United States.
It has, by the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise line, and by its wicked efforts to en
slave the free people of Kansas, broksD up
all fraternal feeling and brotherly affection
between a majority of the people North acd
a majority of the pei pie South ; which, if not
checked tbrought be merciful intarfereuce of
Providence, in teaching these wicked leaders
wisdom, will resder union hereafter undesi
rable to both sections, and perhaps impossi
ble.
This glorious Union, established by the
joint efforts of elaveholding and non-slave
holding Statesmen, warriors and people, but
whose love of Liberty and Justice, was so
etroog as to prevent them from inserting into
the Constitution the word Slave or Slavery,
or tho idea that there can be properly in
man, was sale and strong, up to the time
that this Democratic party re-opened the agi
tation of the negro question, and sought to
base ingrafted into the Constitution that
Slavery was naticnal, and Freedom section
—that .Slavery should be proteoted in the
Territories, and that a n*gro slave was prop
erty in the same sense, a horse, a ship, or a
railroad was property. By adhering to tho
liberty-loving doctrines of our fathers, this
nation beoame strong and powerful; it dem
onstrated to a degree, that no other nation
had ever approached, the power of tbe peo
ple to govern themselves. But so soon as
tbe leaders ef the Democratic party deserted
these doctrines, and attempted to force uprn
the free people or the North (be fanatical pro
slavery and free-trade doctrines of John C.
Calhoun, tbe boasted power, prosperity, glo
ry and happiness of our people, and govern
ment;, appear to have vanished away; but
we hope not forever. They have, however,
brought the people and the government to
the very verge of destruction, from which,
no party under the >ua can save i% and re
store Union and Peace, but ths Republican
party, aided and guided ty the wisdom and
strong arm of the Almighty—the Omnicient.
Omnipotent leader of the hosts of Freeuoin
and the rights of man everywhere. As he
conducted the Israelites through the Red
Sea so will lie lead the It-publicans, in the
glorious work of makiig Freedom tbe rule,
and Slavery the exitpiion, in this glorious
cocntry—the Loire ot the free.,, tbe asylum
for tie oppressed, from every nation and
■people under the heavens :
This Democratic party has estranged
brothers from brothers, made enemies of
friends, and has pu ; M>ned all the fountains
from which our nation has gathered its
greatness. And ah this w extend tbe curse
of bumao bondage into all th£ Teiritories of
this country:
In complete detail, and by enfo.rciDg its
free-trade dogroaß upon .us, .if has bee.n de
structive of all the buoiuess interests of *>ur
common country :
It bas, materially rnd detrimentally, crip
pled our commerce— beggared, but first rob
bed, our national government—almost de
stroyed the credit cf tho States—disrupted
and prostrated tbe finances of tbe country,
Btate and National, publio and private:
In the midst cf plenty, by its free trade
proclivitiee, and by refusing to carry out the
first principle of true Democracy, to wit: the
right of ths majority to rule, it has brought
upon UP hard times to a degree to which our
people have heretofore been strangers—the
hupbandman and thß mechanic suffer equal
ly from the pernicious influence of its false
teachings—public and private, State and Na
tional, confidence is destroyed—the laborer
b'-gs for work, while lis children cry for
bread, and there is none to relieve them.—
When have times ever been so hard, and la
bor so cheap and scarce, as under Ja9. Bu
chanan's administration ?
The farmer offers his wheat for sale, and,
if he finds a merchant with money, ie offered
a pitifully low price, a ruinously low price.
It was not so when Gen. Harrison was Pres
ident, or under the tariff of 1842, and it wi'l
not be so ondcr President Lincoln, if he re
mains true tc the rights of freedom and free
white labor.
The mechanic stands ready, with a strong
arm and hearty will, to prosecute his art,
but the snterprieing have no money to en
large business or to carry out schemes cf im
proveroent. Poor meohanics, how little
these political leaders of the pro-slavery
school care for them tbey are only "mud
sills 1" To please the nabobs of the South,
the Democratic party have legislated for the
Degro aud his master until you, mechanics
and laboring mea of Pennsylvania, are idle,
if net worse 'bun idle.
• The earth yields abundantly to the efforts
of the the industrious men who till its sur
face but the markets are prostrate and there
are few to buy :
Our manufactories are nearly all stopped
for want of purchasers, and the merchant
finds his goods a drug in th 9 market;
The laborer demands employment but
there is no work tor him ; or if, percbaooe, a
job turns up, ruinously low prices only are
offered.
All business is in a state ef stagnation
revolution and war, (forced upon the country
by the " rule or ruiu" leaders of the Dem
ocratic party) with all their horrors, stare us
jn tbe face—tbe grim visage of dreadful want
js seen iu the distance—destruction in every
phase threatens to overwhelm us, and mad
ness rules the h*ur because thia corrupt and
wicked party bas been burled from power by
an outraged, insulted and therefore indig
nant people, whose yoice, spoken, as it were
in thunder tones at the ballot box in favor of
tree white labor, it is now unwilling to obey
The Democrats of tbe South are iafatuated,
but' Old Abe" will soon bring them to their
senses.
Fai mer, what do you get for yeur products?
Mechanic and Laborer, why do you not pur
sue your occupation, and where and what
are your wages? Manufacturer why have
you ceased ope atiuns, and Merchant wi e;e is
your trade ?
Democrat, as you call yourself—pro-slav
ery agitator, as you are, why have you bro't
all this upou our once happy and prosperous
county ? You have, either directly or indi
rectly, brought all this evil upou the country
and upon free whi e labor simply because
your leaders prefer Slave labor and seek to
extend Slavery instead of freedom into the
national territory. Y'our ablest and most
patriotic statesmen, Gen. Lewis Cars, and
o herslmwc to fame, turn with ghastly and
horrified countenance from the evils yaur
doctrines have produced. Not satisfied with
ths ruin you have already wrought, you seek
now to force upon the Republican party the
unholy doctrines of the Breckinridge plat
form—in the guise of the Franklin Guthrie
Crittendeu amendments, thus turning a deaf
ear to the will of the people as expressed on
the 6th day of Noveber last—to tbe dis
tress of the people you have so often betray
ed, and to the cot.iilence of tbe people which
you have so often abused. The leaders of
this Democratic party in the guise of the
above named compromise now wish to make
tbe Republican parly odious by compelling
it to carry out the vilest of their measures,
for advocating, acd insisting upon which, the
people justly and gloriously burled them
from power. We tell you Democrats, the
Republican leaders acd people will never
submit to such an outrage, or suffer any such
indignity.
Democrats, agaiAwe ask you to look around
you and.see what you have done, what your
party lraa done. Seven Democratic States
out of the Union rather than submit to the
majority ? Th-v have not been wro' ged by
tbe Government. Then nhy rebel againit it,
and set at defiance its Laws ? Have we a
Government or have we not ? This is the
first question to settle. It has been weaken
ed and almost irrepaiiably destroyed by the
Democratic leaders. Will you still close your
eyes to tba fact of history and vote with thai
wicked aud unprincipled paity ? Or will
you not rattier prefer the 11 publican partv,
advocating as it does, the liberty-loving doc
trines of Gen. WASHINGTON, JAFFERSON, MAD
ISON, MONROE, JACKSON CLAY, WEBJTRS, and
all tbe distinguished and patriotic men of all
nations throughout the civilized world?—
Honest Democrats of Centre county, of Penn
sylvauia, we ask you to look again upon the
ruin your party bas inflicted upon the coun
try, re race .your steps and thus prove that
you still love your nation—tbe whoie etidi.
vided nation—the Union, the Constitution us
our fathers framed it, and tire enforcement of
the laws.
The passage of the Tariff Bill will be
hailed with joy. It is net all that its friends
desired, but ie for specific duties, increasing
tbe rates on iron, and is a decided movement
in tl> right direction, much preferable to
waiting -until Congress, which may not be as
friendly aa the present. The Senate put a
email duty on tea and coffee, which the House
struck out. The New York city influence
was so strong that the Senate insisted upon
retaining the warehousing feature, which det
rimental to our true interests. From first to
last, tbe passage of this improved Tariff has
beev resisted by the Slaveocracy en masse,
and by almost the entire Democracy ! The
arranging of tbe details was vary difficult,
and caused the loss of three Republican votes
in the House —but every Republican Sena
tor voted for the bill on its final passage.—

American Agriculturalist.
We have leceived and examined the March
number of that excellent paper, the Ameri
can Agriculturalist. There are a great many
Agricultural papers published in our Eastern
and Western cities, some of wbioh are good
and others entirely worthless, but we have
yet to eee one which so fully meets the wants
of the hard-working farmer, as the American
Agriculturist. It contains a large cumber of
articles teeming with useful information up
on the subjects of field culture, gardening,
stock raising, fruit growing, household man
agement, descriptions with illustrations, of
farming implements, and various other
things interesting and useful. Nothing,
however, gains admittance into its columns
unless it communicates something, a know
ledge of which, will be beneficial to the far
mer. It never reccommends or "puffs" any
farmiog implements or manures, the good
ness of wbioh, is not known to the Editor
It takes particular pains to expose all swin
dles and humbugs, such, for instance, as the
Rev. Dr. Wilson's gratuitous cure fof Con
sumption, Lotteries which are never heard of
after money is sent to them. Another most
excellent feature of the Agriculturalist, is the
free distribution of rare and valuable seeds
for field and garden. Eveiy subscriber will
get, if be wishes them, five packages of seeds
free of cost wbioh, in some instances, are
mors valuable than the subscription price,
which is One Dollar.
Cut it it* impossible, is so brief ft notice, to
speak of all the merits of iLe Agriculturalist.
The only way to know them is to subscribe
for. end read it. Tne Editor, Mr. Orange
Judd, is a practical farmer himself, and the
Agriculturalist, which was established by him
in 1842, when most farmers thought that
"book farming" was worse than folly, has
kept pace with the advancement of Agricul
tural science. It is edited with ability and
energy, such as is seldom found in journals
of its class. The determination of Mr. Judd
to aid ftDd enlighten the farming community
as to the best and cheapest modes of produ
cing the desired results of soil culture, is
csrtainly praiseworthy and he ebould he pa
tronized liberally by the farmers. Just such
a Journal as the Agriculturalist should be in
the hands of every farmer in fruitful Oid
Centre, and lo them we reccommend it as
tbe best Agricultural Journal ever seen by
us. We have never yet heard it spoken of
except in terms of the highest ccmmenda
tion.
It is published by ORANGE JCDD, 41 Park

Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet.
We have as yet no positiye information
with regard to tbe Cabinet. The struggle
for place is terrific. Mr. Hates has been ap
pointed Attorney General. Gideon Wells
has been offered and accepted the Poet Mas
ter Generalship. Tie Portfolio of the Navy
is between Henry Winter Davis and Mont*
gotuery Dlair. Mr. Cameron is strongly
urged lor tbe Treasury, but the friends of
Mr. Chase want that appointment and ask
Mr. Cameron to take tbe Department of tbe
Interior, or Secretary of War. Mr. Smith,
we are iniormed, baa been offered tbe Secre
taryship of War. Mr. Seward, will positive
ly, be Secretary of Stats. The Cabinet will,
iu all probability, stand as follows :
Secretary oj Slate —Wo. 11. Seward, of
New York.
Secretary of the Treasury— Simon Camer
on, of Pennsylvania.
Secretary of the Interior —Salmon Chase,
of Ohio.
Secretary of the ffavy— 11. Winter Davis,
of Maryland.
Secretary of War —C. B. Smith, of Indi
ana,
Attorney General— Edward Bates, of Mis-
souri.
. Post Master General —Gideon Walls, of
Connecticut.
An Ej e Opener.
Lord Palmerston gave tbe South the hard
est bit in the Parliament of England the
other day, that we have yet seen. A Peer
made a speech deploring the Secession
movement in America, and regretting the ef
fect it would have upon tbe cotton trade with
England. The crafty and far seeing Lord
Palmerston, Englands' test Statesman, re
plied to him, and among other things said,
"lie hailed the Secession of the States in'
America as the dawn of a new era in the cot
ton trade. England would now turn her at
tention to India and raise her own cotton."
This language is prophetic. The plan is fea
sible. England can raise her own cotton,
and she wjll do it. She has heretofore been
the principle pa ron of the South, and now,
if she withdraws her patronage, where is the
South to find a market for her cotton ? We
fear that when it is too late to recede, our in
fatuated brothers will discover the fatal mis
take they have made. Secession will rnin
them. God forgive them for they kcow not
what they do.
JBS?- The importation of foreign coal oil,
under the new Tariff, will be almost impos
sible. This faet is of interest to numbers of
Pennsylvanians who have recently invested
in the oil business. The provisions of the
new Tariff impose a duty "on Kerorene oils,
and all other coal oils, of ten cents per gal
lon." Foreign producers, under these cir
cumstances. will have to look elsewhere than
to the United States for a market
j ß@" Pennsylvania has been ealled upon to
endorse U. S. papei to tho amount of nearly
Three Millions of Dollars—it being the Na
tional Surplus Revenue deposited with this
State in 1836. Should the General Govern
ment not redeem this, it will be so much ad
ded to our State Debt to please and build up
Slavery.

on Monday.. \V'e have bis Inaugural and

decidedly opposed to secession and says ha
will retake the forts.

The Peace Conference.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.
The Peaoe Conference has just passed
Franklin's proposition, as follows :
"In all the present Territory of the United
States north of the parallel of 36 degrees 30
minutes of north latitude, involuntary servi
tude, except as punishment of crime, is pro
hibited. In all the present territory south ol
that line the status of persons held to service
or labor, as it now exists, shall not be chang
ed. Nor shall any law be passed by Cong
ress or the territorial legislature to hinder or
prevent the taking of such persons from any
of the States of this Union to said territory,
nor to impair the rights arising from said re
lation. But the same shall be svbjeclto judi
cial cognizance in the Federal Courts, accor
ding to the course of the common law. YY hen
any territory north or south of said line, with
such boundary as CoDgress may prescribe,
shall contain a population equal to that re
quired for a member of Congress, it shall, if
its form of government be republican, be ad
mitted into the. Union on an equal footing
with the original States, with or without
involuntary servitude, as the Constitution of
such State may provide."
The vote on the adoption of this plan of
adjustment was ten yeas to eight nays. The
New York Cuuomissioners did not vote.
The other propositions reported by the
committee were all passed, by votes ranging
from eighteen to ten in favor of each. The
close fight took place over the Franklin sub
stitute for Guthrie's plan, and it was notcar
ried without a hard struggle.
There is great excitement oyer the result,
and the work of the Conference is regarded
as virtually ended.

THE TREASON OF TWIGGS. —
were received at the War Department which
established the truth of the atrocious treason
of General Twiggs. There is no room left
for doubt that he has been long engaged in
the conspiracy which has placid in the
hands of the enemies of the liberties of the
nation the (orts and munitions of war at the
South. He ordered the United States troops
to march out of their barracks, and with
great inconveniecca to themselves and dis
comfort, to encamp outside tha town, while
the State militia, who have fattened at the

To the honor of the United States officers
and soldiers, (the chief traitor excepted.) be
it said they refused to fraternize with the
traitors, and marched out to the tune of
"Yankee Doodle," with the stars and stripes

IMP .'RTANT—FORT SUMTER TO IJB ATTACK
ED BY NIJHT, — The War Department has
received important despatches from Major
Anderson. The'gailant officer, in a letter to
Secretary Holt, denies the truth of the re.
port that Jefferson Davis had exchanged vis
its with him. He has had no communica
tion whatever with the President of the Con
federated States. He is satisfied that Fort
Sumter will be attacked, and he ean clearly
discern with the naked eye the arrangements
for the assault, which he believes will be at
night, and will be of the most determined
character. The fortification is now entirely
compjeted, the reports to that effect before
being untrue, l'be utmost ingenuity of him
self and brother officers have been employed
to strengthen every part and to provide
means for resisting the attack, which, in his
opinion, is certain to come.
Mrs. Lincoln's Carriage.
WASHINGTON, March 4 h, 1861
The vehicle arrived oil Friday, and on Sat
urday Mrs. Lincoln and her sister took a ride
in it. It is a very fine pipee of workman
ship, having cost sl6oo in New York city.—
It has all the modern conveniences, and is
painted black, having but very little orna
ment or silver work upon it.
Charles Jared Ingersol is the man who
gn.id "he would have been a Tory if he had
lived in the devolution," and deemed the
name no reproach. Accordingly, we find him
aetive in the recent Breckinridge meeiing in
Philadelphia, which, while feebly delaring
for the Union, denounced its friends and
apologized for its enemies 1
fligr- The Secessionists take the Federa
Government's fortific itions by force, capture
its revenue cutters by force, drive away its
transport ships, seise its arsenals, arms and
amunition by force, and then cry aloud about
the atrociousness of the idea of the employ
ment of Jorce between the Federal Govern
ment and themselves !
The Baltimore Sun, a rabbid seces
sion paper, openly confesses- that the sole
purpose ol the South Carolina Rebellion was
to break the Republican party into pieces,
and that the failure of the BorderS'ave States
to side with South Carolina and go out cf the
Union has blown up, not the Republicans,
hut tbo Cotton States.
PARTIG SALUTE 9 JO MB. BUCHANAN.-— The
Rifle company of the U. S. troops, with tbo
Marine Band, marched to the White House
0 n Saturday afternoon to bid good bye to the
President, who stood in front of his door as
the troops marched by. A token of recog*
nition was given by the millitary, but not a
word was spoken by any one, it seeming
more like a funeral than anything else. A
crowd had gathered expecting a speech, but
Mr, Buchanan had nothing to say, and his
favorite Irishman pushed the crowd one side,
way was made, and His Excellency passed
in and the lock was turned. No one seemed
to have a word of cheei for the old President
and as the k6y was turned in the lock, an eld
man who had been standing by the pillar,
watching the whole movement, exclaimed,
" humb," and with a look of disgust he
turned bis back upon the White House.
FaF* Th * " Farmer and Gardner," and the
" American Bee Journal," for March, have
been received. These standard publications
are issued by A, M. SPANGLER & Co., 25
North Sixth Street, Philadelphia, at prices
•which place them within reach of every Far
mer and Apiarian. Both of them, together
with a handsome Premium Book, are furnish
ed at $1,50 per annum. This we believe to
bs cheaper than any similar publications in
the country, and ought to secure for thorn an
immense circulation. Those who desire to
see thorn can obtain specimen copies without

SECESSION IN VIRGINIA. —A despatch sent
to Richmond elicited the following reply
'•Rest assured this convention will not vote
Virginia out of the Union, notwithstanding
the refueal of Congiess to accept the compro

the Virgioia convention must in any event go
to the people. They will surely give seces

Rsgr The Tallahassee Floridian says that
one thousand Maynard lifks and appenda

primers, and 4000 percussion muskets, have
been received by that State. The rifles were
purchased by the Governor in December last,
and the Quartermaster-General has just re
turned from business connected with their
delivery and receipt.
Cap The Knoxville Whig says that Mr.
Mordecai, of Charleston, who recently gave
SIO,OOO to South Carolina, cot long since
visited New York, Philadelphia and Boston,
and represented to the druggists with wbom
he had had dealings, that he was insolvent,
and so settled with them by ono half of their
e'.aims against him. If this be true, the
North is paying some of the expanses of •*
cession.
Bgy-Tbe New Orleans True delta, of Tues

& Co., in the admiuistrution of this Govern

Mr. Mallory, of Florida, in withdraw
ing from the Senate, was kind enough to
►a? : "We do not seek to conquer you,"—
[That's chvar in Florida, which can hardly
keep down her alligators. It cost millions
for us to capture Billy Bowlegs and his squaws
to protect Florida!]
While the South and the Democracy
are trying to make it believed that the
'•white niggers" of the North are starring for
bread, it has been ascertained on account
that Twenty Thousand men in P.ttsburg have
full work, ana none idle that want to work.
Dr. Alexander Jones, of that infa
mous sliest the New York Ileiald, confesses
he informed the Charleston people that the
Star of the West was on its way. In any
other country, 6uch a treacherous act would
subject him to the fate of a spy or a traitor.
PROFITABLE. —St. Charles, the largest and
most fashionable hotel in New Orleans, which
every Winter averaged from five to eight hun

thirteen guests north of Mason and Dixon's

The Montgomery Adeitiser of the

nine thousand and hundred pounds of pow

Point Railroad Depot for Charleston.
Some say the present is the second
"Whiskey Insurrection" in the United States,
for half the Seoes-iooists are drunk SB fools.
Take away their grog, and the insane rebell

A Rhode Island Congressman says he
is keeping close watch that all th.e other
States do not slip out of the Duion, and
leave Rhode Island to pay the National

TIMELY. —The fraternal advice of the Prov

both of this place.
With the above notice we received a delicious
cake—not a little puny, sickly-looking piece of
sweetened dough, such as we generally get—but
a fine cake done through. If the happy couple
will be as liberal toward each others faults as they
were to the printers, their voyage over lifes tem
pestuous sea will be pleasant and harmonious. —

those who do. We wish both the young people a
long life of *s# fulness and happiness. __
A, HAWLEY& CO.,
PRACTICAL PERFUMERS,
117 North Fourth iicct Philadelphia^
THE proprietors of this establishment feel oou
fldent that their preparations will compare
favorably with any in the world, either foreign or
domestic. EXTRACTS for the handkerchief of the
most exquisite odors. POMADES and OILS for the
hair, of the finest texture and the sweetest per
fumes.
SHAVING CREAMS and TOILET SOAPS of
the finest and most delicate formation.
Also, HAWLEY'S LIQUID HAIR DYE, ig de
cidedly superior to any now in use.
A. HAWLEY'S OLEATE OF COCOA. —This prepa
ration is the article above all others for dressing
the hair. It is exceedingly fin • and delicate and
renders the hair dark, soft and glossy. The odor
is delightful. No one should be without it POW
DERS, BANDOLINE, ROUGE, AO., and every variety
of fine and choice perfumery.
HAWLEY'S FRUIT EXTRACTS for flavoring pief,
puddings, jellies, confectionary, and Mineral
Water Syrups. All of which rival the belt, and
are surpassed by ncne.
A. HAWLEY'S
SOLIDIFIED DENTAL CREAM,
For Cleansing, Whitening ard Preserving the
teeth.—This article in prepared with the greatest
care upon seietific principles, and warranted not
to contain anything in the slightest degree delet
erious to the teeth or gums. Some of our most
eminent Dental Surgeons have given their sana
tion to, and oheerfully recommend it as a prepa
ration of superior qaalitios for cleansing, whiten
ing and preserving the teeth. It cleans them
readily, rendoring them beautifully white and
pearly, without the slightest injury to the enam
el. It is healing to the gums where they are ul
cerated and sore. It is also an excellent disin*
fectes for old decayed teeth, which are often ex
ceedinglp offensive. It gives a rich and ereamy
taste to the mouth, cleansing it thoroughly, and
imparting a delightful fragance to the breath.—
In short, it does all that could reasonably be ex
pected of any articlr of this kind to do. A fair
trial is all that is necessary the most fastidious or
skeptical that it is an article of superior merit.
