Wn AT SAY YOU ALL 1
TO THE OPPOSITION PRESS IS TILE STATE
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
It is morally certain that, with a half dozen
or more opposition tickets in the field against
him, Buchanan will be elected. On the other
hand, it is almost as sure, that if a union of
the opposition elements is effected, he can be
defeated. Many plans have been suggested,
and various efforts made to concentrate the
forces upon one candidate, but all to no pur
pose. There is a way in which it can be done,
though it would undoubtedly be at variance
with all prscedent, and might not Iks relished
"by the political jugglers who are the cause of
the present trouble. Our plan is, that all the
editors opposed to the Buchanan ticket meet
at Ilarrisbnrg at an early day, say the 1st of
August, and by ballot decide which of the can
didates they will support, pledging themselves
to the one who shall receive a majority ot all
the votes cast. By doing this, all jarring and
wrangling would cease amongst those who
now, if they properly understood each other,
coincide in opinion. If such a step were ta
ken in Pennsylvania, it would doubtlessly be
followed by other States, and a complete union
soon brought about. What say our brethren
throughout the State to this suggestion ?
"UNITED, WE STAND," &o.
When applied to political parties, this maxim
is as truthful as it waz in its original connec
tion. In battle, the primary object of the el
der Napoleon was to cut up the enemy's army
into as many divisions as possible, knowing
that, like twigs, taken singly, they could be
easily broken, but when combined they were
strong and powerful, and, as at Waterloo, would
end disastrously to him. So it is with the op
ponents of the Democracy: subdivided into
two, three or more straggling parties, each
one casting its votes for a different candidate,
their efforts will bo fruitless ; but conibina
them, and it is our deliberately formed opin
ion that James Buchanan will be defeated. As
remarked last week, wo believe tho election
of Mr. Buchanan, standing as he does upon
the Cincinnati riatform, by which he says he
will square his conduct, neither adding or ta
king from it a plank, would be a calamity to
our country which every Itriot should endea
vor to avert ; and lor this reason, we arc the
.more anxious that a union of the opposition
should be speedily effected, so that he.may be
successfully resisted. This feeling is not lim
ited to a few, but extends to the press all over
the State, with the exception of a journal here
and there that displays more reckless impru
dence than good sense. This almost nniver
Eal feeling in favor of effecting a union, raises
the hope that at an early day all the opposition
candidates but one will bo either withdrawn,
or some arrangement entered into ly which
"the entire vote will be concentrated on a sin
gle candidate. Should this be accomplished,
discomfiture and defeat will be the lot of the
Locofoco candidates.
. We subjoin a few paragraphs from different
journals, to show the spirit of the press on this
subject, which may be taken as a fair sample
of the pinion cf nearly every paper in Penn
sylvania, opposed to Buchanan.
The Berks Co. Press, a strong and influential
Fillmore paper says :
"Onr preference, it is trne, tends towards
the nominees of the Philadelphia Convention
of February last but, for the sake of restoring
peace to the country, at home and abroad ; for
the sake of hurling from power the violators
of the laws and the constitution for the sake
of crushing and blotting out of existence a par
ty kept together by the "cohesive power of
public plunder," w e are for the concentration
cf the Amerieaa forces upon a common and
fraternal basis. Let us have it let us have
an arrangement by which snccess can be at
tained. " W-e, for one, are willing to stand by
it figbi by it and,- if needs be, die by it '."
.The Ltwistoum Gazelle speaks thus:
"As Pennsylvania will, in a great measure,
be the battle ground for the Presidency, the
inquiry naturally arises whether it is worth
while to conduct a political campaign with two
organizations the American and Republican
and thus ensure the triumph of Buchanan,
for that such would be the result we have not
a particle of doubt ? Our preference has been
and still is for Mr. Fillmore, but we are not so
much wedded to Mr. Fillmore as to make him
the instrument for aiding Buchanan & Co's
election. Had Mr. Buchanan placed himself
upon the proud position that every statesman
ought to occupy, the case might havo been
different, and we should have been content to
he neutral -, but his declaration that the ultra
, slavish and filibustering Cincinnati platform
is henceforth to be James Buchanan's rule of
action instead of James Buchanan's own opin
ions of right and wrong, makes it the duty of
very good citizen to devise ways and means
u detcat him-one of which means will be to
make choice of the least of two evil, that may
be presented." 3
The Ctntrt Dtmotrat, a Fillmore paper, in
speaking of the Republican Convention, adds :
However, we will see whit wo will see .'
Mr. Buchanan mnst be defeated, and if it can
not be done without a union, let us, for the
e ct" the great principles for which we con
eudid a?sort-

tend and in order to restore the government
to its pristine purity, effect that union."
The Harrisburg Telegraph, Gov. Pollock's
organ, after contrasting, the, two platforms,
makes the following remarks :
' "Between two such platforms the reflecting
portions of the people cannot long hesitate.
It cannot be possible that the opposition for
ces, with victory within their grasp, will suf
fr themselves to be distracted and divided.
We believe that before the d.iy of the last
stern conflict, but one banner will bo floating
over the embattled host, and then we Khali
hope that even our glorious old Common
wealth, so long the votary of a false faith, will
be redeemed from error, and the shout of vic
tory ring forth from every valley and mountain-top,
echoing in thunder tones from the
waters of the Delaware to the western base of
the Alleghcnies."
We "could give plenty more extracts of a
similar import, but these will suffice to show
the general feeling relative to a nnion. With
such a spirit pervading the press, the prospect
for effecting it is good.
Cot,. Bexto.v axd the Presidency. The
Washington Union, the organ of Democracy,
is out against "Old Bullion." The Union ex
plains the miwtery of the old man's support of
Buchanan. Hear the oracle of Democracy on
Benton
We think the nomination of Col. Fremont
furnishes an ''explanation" which relieves
Col. Benton's course of all "mystery." That
he is opposed to the election of his own son
in-law will be credited by no one ; that he
was cognizant of the schemewhich has resul
ted in his son in-law's nomination will hardli
ne questioned. If he can draw off from the
Democratic electoral ticket, and thereby
givc the Fillmore electoral ticket a plurality,
he will increase the chances of the election of
his son in-law in the House of Representatives.
If Colonel Benton was honestly for Mr. Bu
chanan, (which he cannot be without stultify
ing himself,) ho would decline to run for Gov
ernor, and have" the Benton electoral ticket
withdrawn. His support of Mr. Buchanan,
however, is insincere. He is working for the
election of Col. Fremont, which would enable
Old Bullion to be 'the power behind the throne
greater than the throne.'
That is what the AVashingfon Union, the
Fierce organ, says of Benton.
Tho last invented story of our Democratic
friends is the silly report that Col. John C.
Fremont is a Catholic. That parly must, in
deed, be desperate to resort to such stories to
deceive the people and prop up its falling for
tunes. The Tribune says, Col. Fremont was
baptized, reared and confirmed in the 1'rotes
taut Episcopal church, to which he has ever
adhered. His father was a Huguenot, which
of itself would go far to disprove the charge
made against the son. There is another fact
that should not be forgotten, which is, that
the Philadelphia Convention is not the only
one that nominated him for the Presidency.
The Northern American Convention which as
sembled at Xew York also selected him as
their candidate. He, therefore, is before the
people not only as a Republican, but as an
American candidate.
The Usion State Ticket Endorsed. The
Republican State Convention which met at
Philadelphia on the 17th, endorsed the Union
State Ticket. Mr. JlcCalmont ofl'urcd the
following resolution, which was unanimously
adopted :
"Resolved, That this Convention, having
confidence in the Republican principles, hon
esty and integrity of tho following gentlemen,
recommend them to the voters of Pennsylva
nia for the offices mentioned, viz : Canal Com
missioner, Thomas E. Cochran ; Surveyor
General, Bartholomew Laporte ; Auditor Gen
eral, Darwin Phelps.''
A Texas paper says, it has become quite a
common sight to sec camels and dromedaries
marching through the streets. The camels are
now employed lu carrying government freight
from Powder Horn to the depot. They carry
the enormous weight of 1,009 pounds, and
with the greatest ease. The sight of them
stampedes all the horses and mules that come
in sight of them. They are certainly not hand
some creatures. A horse, in a brisk trot, can
scarcely keep up with t6 camels whea in a
walk. They apparently go slow, with their
l&ng-mcasured tread, but la reality they arc
moving rapidly.
The Vote of Pe.nnstlvania Tho Pitts
burg Gazelle earnestly recommends the union
of all the opponents of Buchanan in the Pres
idential clecticm upon a single ticket. The
same policy is advocated generally by the op
position press of the State, whether for or a
gainst Mr. Fillmore, and from the manner in
which it is urged, we do not doubt that an ef
fort will be made to carry it into effect.
John Brown Jr., was tried and convicted at
the last term of the Indiana county Court for
receiving a stolen horse, knowing hiiu to be
such, and on Monday of last week, was sen
tenced by his Honor, Judge Buffington, to pay
a fine of $100 to the Commonwealth, the coits
of prosecutiou, and undergo solitary confine
ment in the Western Penitentiary for 3 years.

Clearfield, January tlrhh. .
THE POLITICAL SKY IS CLEARING UP.
The programmes of the different parties are
nearly completed ; and people can now calm
ly and judiciously select their candidates ac
cording to their principles. We say principles
for it would be unworthy of any American pa
triot to cast his vote for any man lor the high
office ot President, on account of personal
friendship or partiality, unless he believed
that his political principles would promote
the best interests of his country. To friends,
to kindred, to neighbors, we may yield much.
We may surrender personal interests and,
even personal consistency, but wo dare not
sacrifice our country.
Hitherto, the question has stood between
Mr. Fillmore and the nominee of the Loco
Foco party. Wo could never for a moment
think of supporting the nominee of the pres
ent false democratic party, with its principles
ten-fold worso than ever before, whoever
might be his opponent. This was onr deter
mination before tho nomination was made.
Nor has the nomination (although of one of
our respectable neighbors), changed our pur
pose. The nomination was accompanied by a
platform the most atrocious ever invented by
human depravity. A platform whose planks
are Slavery, Fillibustering, and Piracy ; bound
together with the cords and shackles of hu
man bondage, and cemented with the blood of
the murdered freemen of Kansas.
On that platform, we grieve to say, Mr. Bu
chanan has placed himself,, with nimble alac
rity. Lest it might be supposed that he might
shun the more loathsome parts of it, he has
distinctly announced that he had stretched
himself so as to cover every inch of it. That
he hugged the whole of it to his heart. Of
course, this renders his support impossible to
all conservative men to all men who love
Freedom, and hate national robbery
Mr. Fillmore was nominated, not by tho
whole American party, but by .the Southern
Americans, and those Mho sympathised with
them, north of Mason and Dixon's line.
With one of the principles of the South Amer
ican party we agree. Against another, per
haps the leading one, we piotest. Still, had
the choice continued to be, between a candi
date, some of whose principles we approved,
and one, all of whose principles wo condemn,
we should have preferred the former. Fortu
nately v.c are left in no such dilemma. The
Northern Americans, the Americans of Free
dom, have concurred with the Republicans,
in presenting the name of a gallant, energetic
arid accomplished Statesmen Col. Fremont ;
modest as he is bold learned, but too retir
ing ever to have aspired to that high place.
Possessed of extraordinary executive ability,
he has been found incorniptablc in every
transaction of his life. The descendant of a
Huguenot, who was driven from his own coun
try by religious persecution, he is not likely
to favor the indulgence, or ascendancy of that
persecuting foreign towee. Reared amidst
the horrors of the "peculiar institution," and
having removed from his native section" to
enjoy the blessings of Freedom, he seems a
fit person to hold the reigns of a Free Repub
lic. We as American Republicans, or Republi
can Americans, we care not which, shall give
our support to the man w ho unites both char
acters ; and who, if elected, will restrain tho
aggressions of Slavery, and curb, within just
limits, the dangerous pretensions of a foreign
hierarchy. In this contest tho lino will be
drawn between Liberty and Slavery ; between
the Southern Oligarchy and their train bearers
the Northern Dough Faces, and the sturdy,
unyielding Freemen of the North. Lancaster

IMPORTANT FROM CALIFORNIA.
2,250,000 in Oold Coming.
New Okleaxs, June 25. A despatch from
below announces that the steamer Grenada has
crossed the bar on her way up tho river. She
will bring California dates to the 5th inst.
The Illinois left Aspinwall with $2,250,000
in gold, bouud to New York. She has also
900 passengers.
It is understood that the Committee of Vi
gilance carried out the sentence of death a
gair.ni Casey and Cora, the two murderers in
custody when the previous steamer saiIcd,both
haTing been executed the following day.
- Yankee Sullivan, with other notorious char
acters, havo been arrested by the Vigilance
Committee, and on the 1st instaut Sullivan
committed suicide in his cell.
Martial law had been declared in San Fran
cisco and the Governor was preparing to op
pose the measures of the Committee, who still
continue making arrests, and were determined
to rid the city of all improper characters.
The danger of a conflict is imminent.
"Amkricaxs Cowards axd Sons of Cow
ards." The Boston Pilot, a Papist paper,
having received "aid and comfort" from the
sham Democracy, has become impudent and
insulting. Following the lead of the Sham
Democratic papers, the Pilot insults American
born citizens with the taunt that they are
"Cowards and the Sons of Cowards." What
think ye of this, sons of Revolutionary sires ?
Docs not this stir np yonr blood ? The next
taunt will be, that we are not capable of gov
erning ourselves. Truly, the Roman Catholic
element is becoming important, and dictates
the course this Government must pursue.
But here is the extract from the Pt7or . '
"It the party of burglars so rampant in the
City of Penn, and in the City of Rip Van
Winkle, possessed a3 much brains collectively
as a Choctaw Senate, when by their council
fire, they could hear that their very existence
as a nation depends on the Irish population of
this country. It ill becomes any Amer
ican to taunt Irishmen on the scoie of bravery.
Native courage is a commodity that needs yet
to bo proved to exist. The flag of America
is not yet seventy years old, and thrice the
native sons of America have deserted it.
Therefore, we advise these Cowards and Sons
of Cowards ! to boast moderately. As shop
keepers, they are excellent; a3 merchants,
enterprising and persevering; as usurers,
they have no equals in the world : but aa sol
diers, every native ougm to belong to the
Peace Society "

ARRIVAL OF THE ANGLO-SAXON.
'. English and American Troubles.
Great Britain. The American Minister
bad an interview with Lord Clarendon, at the
Foreign Office, on Wednesday.
' The Daily News again calls attention to the
domestic troubles of America. The Post in a
leader on the serious aspect of the internal pol
itics of the United States, says Kansas is but
the field in which the great American question
of Slavery is to be debated, most probably in
arms ; and so thoroughly is the vital character
of the crisis understood inAmerica, that there
arc many who hold that the postponement of
the contest would be cheaply purchased by a
foreign war, as the only means of uniting the
Jarring States once more under the same ban
ner. The Times says : "There is unfortunately,
no longer any doubt that Mr. Crampton is to
be dismissed, and though the exact news of
bis dismissal has not yet reached us, we may
certainly expect to receive information to that
effect by the next arrival. At the same time
that our Minister .is dismissed, the exequatur
will be withdrawn from three Consuls whom
the American government considers guilty of
violation of their municipal laws."
Of the correctness of this intelligence the
Times does not pretend to express any doubt
"The American government's intimation of its
intention," it says, "i accompanied with the
most profuse assurance of good will and res
pect towards this country."
Mr. Dallas, the Times is assured, is armed
with the fullest powers to negotiate and final
ly settle the disputes connected with the Cen
tral American question, and if unable to come
to an agreement the contracting parties are
empowered,withor.t further reference toAmer-
ica, to refer the question to the arbitration of
some impartial third person, to be selected by
mutual concurrence. -
"As regards our retaining Mr. Dallas," stys
the Times, 4ithat question should rest entirely
upon the guilt or innocence of Mr. Crampton.
II the latter be innocent Mr. Dallas ought not
to remain, and if he be guilty no false pride
should prevent us from acquiescing in his ex
pulsion." In the House of Commons, on Thursday, Mr.
D'Israeli said if the government did not go on
with the army estimates, they might exjtect a
discussion on our relations with the United
States. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in
reply, said he would fix on Monday, if there
was no objection, to discussion on the army
estimates.
France. The Times' correspondent writes
from Paris that tho French army will be fur
ther reduced 20,000 men.
Holland. There had been aMinisterial cri
sis in Holland, and the Premier, Vanvail, had
resigned.
The British mail steamer Asia, from Liver
pool on the 11th instant, arrived at New York
on the 27th of June. The following is a tele
graphic report of her news :
There is much excitement in England res
pecting American affairs. The Fulton arrived
at Southampton on the 12th with news of Mr.
Cramptou's dismissal. The London Times
and Morning Post, in articles on this subject,
arc studiously offensive, a id demand the dis
missal of Mr. Dallas. It is not generally sup
posed, however, that he will be dismissed.
The manufacturing and commercial classes
of Liverpool and Manchester have issued ad
dresses to the citizens of America, and the
feelings of the people are active in favor of
peace. The peace addresses of Manchester
received eight thousand signatures in a few
hours.
Several ships-of-war, it is said, have been
telegraphed to prepare for sea with all possi
ble dispatch, and all the commanders of the
gnn-boats have been called to the port admir
als, as was rumored, to rccievo instructions
for active service. '
Lords Palmcrston and Clarendon stated in
Parliament on Friday night (the 13th) that it
had not been decided to dismiss Mr. Dallas.
Lord John Russell gave notice of a motion
of inquiry as to the intention of the Govern
ment, in as mnch as there was a universal feel
ing among the people in favor of peace.
The Great Earthquake in the Mississippi
Valley. Many persons had been deterred
from going to Illinois by the erroneous suppo
sition that the country was subject to volcanic
action. This had originated from the great
earthquake of 1811, by which the valley of the
Mississippi had been greatly shaken, the shocks
having continued for nearly three months.
The country just below the mouth of the Ohio
river would seem to have been near the centre
of the agitation. For miles the land had been
seamed with yawning chasms and deep holes,
the remains of which are still visible. The
bluff on which New Madrid had been built had
sunk to the level of the river, and had become
soon afterward totally submerged. The com
motion in the Mississippi had been very great;
the banks had caved in, islands had dissolved,
aDd the channel had become changed. At ev
ery shock the surface of the river had risen
and fallen like the waves of the sea. An eve
witness, who was coming down on a fiat-boat,
6ays : "After escaping many dangers, my boat
suddenly swung round in the. conflicting cur
rents and rapidly shot up the river. Looking
ahead, 1 beheld the mighty Mississippi cut in
twain, and pouring down a vast opening into
the bowels of the earth.; A moment more and
tho chasm filled ; , but the strong sides of the
flat-boat were crumbled to pieces in the con
vulsive efforts of the flood to obtain its wonted
level." The Indians had been utterly bewil
dered by the earthquake, and could account
for the physical tumult only upon the suppo
sition that things generally had been getting
drunk. It is said of one of them, who had
given himself up for lost, that, upon being
questioned as to what the matter was, he had
replied, while at the same time pjointinz fear
fully to.the heavens, "Great Spirit whitkey

FROM NICARAGUA.
Key West, June 18, lt.jG.--Tho correspon
dent of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce says
that the United States steam frigate Susque
hanna, Com. Sands, with Commodore Pauld
ing, arrived on the 17th, from San Juan,which
place she left on the 10th.
Nothing very precise had been received from
General Walker, w ho was at Leon, awaiting
the result cf the election then tending for
President of Nicaragua, The army of Costa
Rica had disappeared before the riflg of the
Americans, the cholera and the rainy season.
From that side Walker had no longer cause
for anxiety. H.trrera, President of Guatema
la, had once, with C,000 men, started to act a
gainst Walker,and kept on towards Nicaragua
until by dissertion his force was reduced to
600, by which time he thought it prudent to
go home again ; so that danger had passed a-wjy.-
Hondurxs refused to allow the Guate
mala army to pass through its territory say
ing that Walker would beat it, and then fol
low the vanquished into Honduras ! St. Sal
vador and Honduras seem friendly to Nicara
gua and to Walker, who is to all appearance
firmly established ou Central American soil.
A large party of armed men have recently
gone up to join Walker said to have had six
pieces of field artillery and $18,000 worth of.
muuitious of war, from New Orleans-
The Tiiikk-paugb protest seems to have been
made without cause. Capt. Taileton, of the
Eurydice, did not think of doing anything of
ficious or offensive toward our people. On the
contrary, he believed he was rendering the A
mericaus a service. This I am sure of. The
fact that he permitted the armed and organiz
ed exieditiou sent out in the schooner Minnie
Schatler, from New Orleans,with six field pie
cess to pass up the river, with the proclaimed
purpose of joining Walker, shows that he had
no disposition to interfere. Let the gallant
Englishman have justice at our bands.
At Panama all was quiet. The St. Mary's
sloop-of-war was there and the Commission
er sent out by our government was on the
spot. No interference was anticipated for the
future, but a terrible retribution should avail the
Panama murderers, such as lor all time would
make an American safe wherever the Spanish
language is spoken.
FROM KANSAS.
The correspondent of the St. Louis Demo
crat, writing from Lawrence, K.T., under date
of June 10 says, "that a young man earned
Hopkins was shot early this morning, by a man
named Haynau, both residents of this city.
The deceased was a Kentuckian, in favor cf
making Kansas a free State. Mr. Haynau and
his wife went before the Committee of Safety
this forenoon, and made their statement. The
testimony of the wife diCered very materially
from that of the murderer. By their state
ment it seems that the deceased went to the
houso of Mr. Ilayuau, forced the door, enter
ed the houso and fired several shots, none tak
ing effect. Mr. II. then took his revolver and
shot the deceased through the heart, killing
him instantly. By the testimony of these in
terested parties, Mr. Haynau is justified in do
ing what he did. It wtis done in self-defence,
but after the man was killed, he, in conversa
tion with some of our citizens, declared that
he had killed "four other men, and had his eye
upon eight others." He is now acting as dep
uty Sheriff of Douglas county, and as such
used the troops this morning in arresting a
man named J. Colburn, and taking him toLe
compton ; what Colbura was taken prisoner
fvr no one knows, as there was no writ out for
him.
The U. S. troops, which have been stationed
at Topcka for the last three or four weeks, re
ceived orders to leave there and go to Turkey
Creek diy before yesterday. Perhaps it is to
prevent the sacking of that city.
It is reported in this city that the Kickapoo
Rangers fassed up towards Lecompton qn the
north side of the river yesterday. Their ob
ject is not known to our people.
This evening a gentleniau came up on the
coach and reports that Col. Sumner with his
troops were driving the armed bands out of
Kansas, and that 150 had left for Wesport.
They threaten to return again as soon as the
United-States fores have lett.
Gen. Smith Oiidlued to Kansas. General
Pcrsifer Smith arrived at Washington on Sat
urday, having been sent for by the President.
He had aa iuterview with the President on
Monday. Orders have been issued, and he will
proceed as early as possible to Kansas, to take
charge of the United States forces there. His
orders ore imperitive ; in fact, ho is clothed
with full power to put down all insurrection,
come from what quarter it may. This policy
has been deemed advisable in order to take
Kansas imbroglio out of the halls of Conzress.
and give peace and quiet to the country
Gen. Smith is a cool-headed man, and is con
sidered one of the best officers of the army.
Ifolloway's Pills, an undoubted Remedy for
Asthma. Mr. Ellis Wilson, of Brooklyn, X.
Y., had for 5 years very severe attack of asth
ma, which deprived him of bodily rest, night
and day; the cough at times almost choked
him, and caused him continually to spit blood,
he was never safe either eating or drinking,
and his family were distressed beyond measure
to see him gradually reduced to almost a skel
eton. Holloway's Pills, in this case, were as
usual, efficacious. This gentlemen used them
for eleven weeks, and they' effected a perfect
cure; he feels himself stronger now lhm l,,.

TOXICS WON'T DO! TJiey never did do
more than give temporary relief and they
never will. It is because tbey don't touch th
CAUSE of the disease. The CAUSE of all ague
and bilious ilisen. -g i3 the atmospheric poison cal
led Miasma or Malaria. Neutralize thu poison by
iisNATLltAL ANTIDOTE, and all diseases cau
sed by it disappears at once. Rhodes' Fever and
Ague Cure is this Antidote to Malaria, and more
over it is a perfectly harmless medicine. The cer
tificate of th cclobrate J chemist, J. It. Chilton,
of New York, to this effect, is attached to every
bottle ; therefore if it does no good it can do no
harm.
Tbi is Eor than can be said of Quinine. Arnen
ic. or any tonic in existence, as their use is ruin
ous to tLo Constitution and brings on DUMB AGUE,
wLieh never allows a person to fell perfectly well
foraiugle moment. In illustration of these troths

GEui'.GETOWN. OHIO, March 17. 185G.
T S A. liUOCKS, Esq Dear Sir: Yours of
.d inst. i at hand. Tho Cure arrived late last
year and the difficulty in getting anr one ta trv it
was greatly increased' f mm the fact that a reined T
had been in'rvluccd which was growing in fsvor
with the public. i3 being better than using Qui
nine, not knowing. I presume the remedy ther
used to ec ipe taking Quinine, contained the dru
itself ! The remedy, (known as "Smith's Tonic,,:)
would invariably break an ague, but itdid not cara
it, as it would return with renewed vigor. This
one circumstance I deemed iu yonr favor, if I
could institute a test comparison between it and
your euro. The following is the result ; Three
persons took your ' cure," all of which were cases
of -Quotidian Intermittent Fever," of many weeks
standing. They had tried quinine, and other rem
edies, occasionally missing a chill, but it was (as
in a!I guch cases) -slowly wearing them out, and
laying the foundation of other and ceverer mala
dies. I did succeed in effecting a radical cure in
all throe eases with yonr remedy, after "Smith '
Tonic" tad failed. I think there will be no diffi
culty now in giving to your -'Cure" the vantage
ground of any other reined v now in use here. to.
