';, JOUBNEY OF THE PBESIDEJSI ELECT.
Mr. Lincoln's journey; to Washington City
bas been the occasion of the roost unbounded
public enthusiasm, and has had tho effect of
drawing to him the hearts of the people, with
out .distinction of party, to the great chagrin
and sore disappointment of a certain class of
politicians, who are ever ready to Justify the
course of the Disunionists, "and who would
rather have the .eountry ruined than see our
National troubles bo tiled by a Republican Ad
ministration.' Our limited space will prevent
us from giving a detailed account of the pro
gress of the President elect after his departure
from Pittsburgh. At Cleveland, Buffalo, and
Albany as well as at all the stations along the
routej immenso numbers of pcoplo collected
to greet him and pay hira the- respect which
they conceived to be due him as the incoming
Chief Executive of the Nation. On his arri
val in, the city of New York, it is estimated
that at least a quarter of a million of persons
were in the streets. At Jersey City, Newark
and Trenton large crowds were waiting and
garo him a most hearty welcome. At all of
these" points, Mr. Lincoln made short speeches,
expressing his conviction, as he did at Pitts
burg, that the condition of the country is an
extraordinary one, and fills the mind of ev-
cry patriot with anxiety," and declaring his
determination to take such ground, when he
came to speak in his official capacity, as he
should then r tbiuk right for the North, the
' South, tho East, the West, and tho whole
" country." On the 21st, ho reached Phila
delphia, and was received with tho liveliest
manifestations of delight and interest. On
the. morning, of the 22d, Washington's birth
day, an Impressive scene was witnessed at old
Independence flail. After Mr. Lincoln had
responded in a feeling and patriotic manner to
his welcome to that historic room, he as'ceud
ed a platform in front of the building and ad
dressed the vast assemblage which filled the
streets in every direction ; a prayer was made
by Rev. Mr. Clark, and then a beautiful flag,
containing thirty-four stars, one for each State,
was run Up to the top of the Hall by the Pres
ident elect, cheer after cheer being given un
til hoarseness prevented their continuance
After breakfasting, Mr. Lincoln and those ac
companying him started for Ilarrisburg, reach
ing that place at 1 o'clock in the afternoon
The streets were crowded, and every balcony,
..window, "tree, and available point of observa
tion was , thickly studded with human faces.
The President elect was taken in a barouche,
drawn by six elegantly caparisoned grey hor
ses, to the Jones House, where ho was wel
comed by Gov. Curtin, to whose pertinent and
eloquent remarks he responded in a feeling
and patriotic manner.. At 2 J o'clock he was
conducted to the Capitol, was introduced to
the Legislature, and replied to the remarks
addressed to himby the Speakers of the two
Ilouiet. Mr. Lincoln was afterwards re-conducted
to the Jones House by the military and
an immense crowd of people. He was to re
main in Ilarrisburg until next morning (Sat
urday) at 9 o'clock, when he was to ktart for
Baltimore. .The good people of these cities,
as well as of Washington, were therefore much
astonished to hear that he had reached the
National capital that morning at 0 o'clock.
A sudden and imperative summons from Mr.
Seward and Gen. Scott is given as the reason
of this movement, though there are, as a mat
ter of course, all sorts of reports about plots
of assassination and threatened disturbances
on his arrival at Baltimore. There were, it is
true, indications of a mob there, for which the
police had been making preparations. There
was . probably, however, another reason for
calling Mr. Lincoln suddenly to Washington ;
but the movement, no matter what emergency
may have demanded it, will be represented by
the Democratic press as an evidenco of timid
ity on his part. A little spleon of this sort
wJH do him no harm he is too well known
and generally it is considered fortunate that
there has been no necessity to resist a Balti
more mob, and no occasion to havo the troops
read at Washington to protect the President
elect- The attempted assassination of Mr
Van Wyck, on Thursday night, shows that
there are ruffians there, probably in the service
of Southern traitors, Who'aro ready to strike
at higher game with a prospect of higher pay
Hence a feeling ot relief pervades the coun
try at the Intelligence that Mr. Lincoln has
gfcly reached bis destination.
"As .Awesdment to sciT Democrcv The
following pungent resolution was iutroduced
by Mr. AIcKeon, a few days ago, in the House
of Representatives at Washington. It sets
forth ib very clear terms the principles or ue
mocracy, which the traitors of the South,
aided by their sjoapatizers and abettors at the
North, are trying to enforce, ucro it is:
''Resolvedftbit disunion and treason may be
made lawful by adding to article 2 of the Con
stitution the following amendment? 'Whenev
er a party shall be defeated in an election for
President and V'ce:Pres!dent, sufib party may
rebel and take up arms, and unless the success
ful shall adopt as its own the principles ot the
defeated party,, and consent, to such amend
ments of the Constitution as the latter party
may dictate,, the Union shall be at an end."
. This is an excellent hit at the real position
of the Secessionists, and is probably the only
doi&'ndment of the Constitution that would
thoroughly satisfy them.
. ' TARIFF BILL PASSED.
. The Senate of the United States has at last
passed the Tariff bill. Thanks to Gen. Came
ron, he has been its main advocate in that bo
dy, and it is but a few days since that he inti
mated lie would not return home Until that bill
was passed. We sincerely congratulate him on
bis success. It will do more to relieve Penn
sylvania than any measure thatcould have been
adopted. After a session of nearly ten hours, a
final vote was taken,with the following result :
Teas Messrs.Anthony, Baker, Bigler, Bing
ham, Cameron, Chandler, Clark, Doolittle,
Durkeo, Fessenden, Foote, Foster, Grimes,
Hale, Harlan, King, Morrill, Seward, Sim
mons, Sumner, Ten Eyck, Trumbull, Wade,
Wilkinson and Wilson 25.
Nays Messrs. Bragg, Clingman, Douglas,
Green, Hunter, Johnson of Arkansas, Johnson
of Tenn., Lane, Latham, Nicholson, Pearce,
Powell, Rice and Sebastian 14.
All the Republicans voted for the bill. - Mr.
Bigler. of this State, is the only Democrat that
voted for the same. Mr. Douglas, who proces
sed to have such great love ior this measure
when he was making speeches in this State,
last summer, voted .against it. It is to be
hoped that the House will at once concur.
The Peace Congress. Mr. Franklin, cf
Pa., has condensed Mr. Guthrie's scheme to
the following intelligible form, divesting it of
all excessive verbiage and cumbersome details :
Article I. In all tho present territory of the
United States, not embraced by the Cherokee
Treaty, north of the parallel of tbirty-six'de-
grces and thirty minutes of north latitude, in.
voluntary servitude, except in punishment of
crime, is prohibited. In all tho present terri
tory south of that line, the legal status of per
sons owing servico or labor, as it now exists,
shall not bo changed by law, nor shall tho
rights arising from said relation he impaired ;
but the same shall bo subject to judicial cogni
zance in the Federal Conrts, according to the
common law. When any Territory, north or
south of said line, within such boundary as
Congress may prescribe, shall contain a popu
lation equal to that required for a Member of
Congress, it shall, if its form of government be
Republican, be admitted into the Union on an
equal footing with the original States, with or
without involuntary servitude, as tho Consti
tution of snch State may provide.
The positive Republicaus are united for the
Convention plan, pure and simple, but tho
Conference will probably adopt something like
Mr. Franklin's, and send it to Congress with a
request that it shall bo submitted to a Nation
al Convention.
Later. On the 23d, Mr. Chase, N. Y., ofT
citjd a proposition to the following effect :
That whereas. It is inexpedient to proceed
in .the consideration of the grave matters in
volved in the resolutions of the State of Vir
ginia, calling this conference together, until
all States have participated in its proceedings,
and ample time afforded for deliberation among
all the delegates thereof ;
Resolved, That the Convention adjourn to
meet again on Thursday, the fourth day of A
pril, aud the President of the Convention he re
quested to address letters to tho Governors of
the several States, urging tbem to appoint
Commissioners, and that this Conference meet
at that time. . , .-.t
The resolution led to an exciting and ear
nest debate. There is a prospect that it may be
carried.
Oslt a "Clod Hopper." Mr. Lincoln, in
his rcrnarks at Pittsburgh in relation to a
protective tariff, said ho confessed that he
did not understand the subject "in all its mul
tiform bearings," but promised to give ' it his
closest attention and endeavor to comprehend
it "more full1" evidentty meaning that he
would inquiro moro particularly into the pe
culiar interests of Pennsylvania than ha had
done heretofore. . This modest conduct on the
part of tho President elect does Dot, however,
find favor with the editor of the Clearfield Re
publican. It is not his style. . Boasting, va
poring, and egotistical self-exaltation would
suit his taste much better. Hence, it is not
surprising to Ond him charging Mr. Lincoln
with uiakiog, in his Pittsburgh speech,
"An avowal of more ignorance than usually
falls to tLe lot of a common clod uopper." " .
It is true that Mr. Lincoln has worked on a
farm. So did other Presidents of the United
States, and many of our greatest statesmen.
But not until recently has this fact been con
sidered disgraceful. Hammond of South Car
olina has called our laboring men "mud-sills;"
Wigfall of Texas has declared that poverty is
a crime ;" but it remained for the editor of
the Olearfield Republican to stigmatize those
who till the soil, as "clod-hoppers "
Taking it for granted that our up-town
neighbor understands the tariff question in all
its bearings, we think the President elect had
b tier send for him to instruct him on that
subject ; and as the sago opinion has also been
publiciy expressed here by another Democrat
one of some oratorical pretensions that
the speeches used in bis controversy with Mr.
Douglas had been prepared for "honest old
Abe," and that ha is not competent to write
bis inaugural address, we hope Mr. Lincoln
will secure the services of our profound and
sagacious Demosthenic friend likewise.
The editorial junta of the Clearfield Rcpubli
can, in the last issue of that paper, say :
"For the first time in the history of this
country has it become necessary to overawe
the members of the National Congress with a
military force of 2,000 men, in order to make
them do their duty."
"Become necessary," are the right words;
because "for the first time in the history of
this country," has a defeated party refused to
acquiesce in the choice of the people; "for
the first time" has such a systematic' effort
been made to overturn the Government ; "for
the first time" have members of the Cabinet,
while acting as sworn officers, been engaged in
a movement to break up tho Union ; and "for
the first time" was confidence so greatly sha
ken, in consequence of this wide-spread trea
son, that it was feared the Capitol would be
seized and a peaceful inauguration prevented
We should think that a Democratic editor, in
stead of sympathizing with the traitors in the
revolted States, would blush at the thought of
so large a portion of tiis party being in an atti
tude of rebellion and guilty of Ligh (reason.
Gen. Butler of Lowell was in Washington
the other day, and during a conversation with
Southern men, one of them, a Georgian, said :
"I do not believe there is an honest man in
Massachusetts." Aftera moment's reflection,
he added s "I beg to assure yon, Mr. Butler, I
mean nothing personal." The General . re
sponded : "I believe there are a great many
honest men in Georgia ; but in saying so, Sir,
I -do not mean anything per60Qal." " ,
DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION1.
The Democratic State Convention,, sum
moned to meet atHarrisburg on the 21st inst.,
'"to ro-construct tho Union on the principles
of the Democratic party," was well attended.
The proceedings were somewhat stormy, but
no particular damage was done, especially to
Southern property. When it is remembered
how Cobb, Floyd, Toucey and other men occu
pying high places, have acted tho part of
traitors and assisted to rob the Government
of millions, ft is a little frigid, we should say,
for this Convention to make tho boast con
tained in the fourth resolution, "that' the
"Democratic party possesses the recuperating
"power which nothing but integrity can give,"
and to reiterate the stale falsboods that "the
'Republican party refuse all reasonable terms
"of compromise," and that the President e
lect "declares thero is nothing going wrong."
There is one particularly noticeable feature
in the resolutions, to which we respectfully
direct the attention of the editor of the Clear
field Republican, namely : that no mention is
made of Mr. Bigler and others who havo taken
such an active part in urging certaiu "Propo
sitions," which occupy so large a space in the
eyes of our up-town neighbor.
The growl at our patriotic and talented Gov
ernor is rather indicative of sore heads.
The resolutions, which were reported. by
the chairman of the committee, Hon. Ellis
Lewis, and were unanimously adopted by the
Convention, are as follows : .
Resolved, That tho States of this Union are
sovereign aud independent oyer every subject
not surrendered to the control of the Federal
Government ; and they have no right to inter
fere with each other's domestic institutions,
but are bound by the Constitution of the Unit
ed States to. protect and defend them against
domestic insurrection as well as foreign inva
sion..
Resolved. That the Government of the Unit
ed States, although limited iu its authority to
the subject enumerated ia the Federal Consti
tution, possesses within those limits supreme
authority, and has the usual and necessary
powers lor preserving itself and enforcing its
laws.
Resolved, That the Union of the States was
founded by the wisdom of our patriotic ances
tors, is sanctioned by the experience of our
whole political existeuce, and has sejeured to
us unexampled prosperity at home,, and re
spect abroad. The Democratic party will
cling to it as the last prop of freedom, and as
the great exponent in self-government, which
is to light the nations of the earth to liberty
and independence.
Resolved, That the Democratic party pou- ;
sesues the recuperating power which nothing !
but integrity can give, and is determined to
sacrifice on the alter ot patriotism all individ
ual interests and past dissensions, and unite
as a band of brotheis to rescue the country
from the control of those who are seeking its
destruction. .That this country, with the best
form of government that ever was devised, is
surrounded with dangers and difficulties which
threaten , its very existence, and yet the Re
publicau party refuse all reasonable terms ot
compromise, and their leader, on his way - to
take possession of the Government, seeming
ly, satisfied with the disastrous calamities of
his "irrepresisble conflict," declares there is
nothing going wrong. ' . : '
Resolved, That the people of the Southern
States contributed their exertions and treas
ure in the acquisition 'of ilhe Territories, e
qually with those of other States, and that
the principle which recognizes the equal rights
of all the States iu the same is founded on the
clearest equality and supported by the decis
ion of the highest Court of the country.- It
ought, therefore, to be sustained by every
law-abiding citizen until a satisfactory divid
ing line can be settled by amendmeut of the
Constitution.
Resolved, That every State is bound by the
Constitntion of the United States to aid in de
livering up fugitive slaves to their owners,
and all legislation which withholds such aid
or throws obstacles in the way, is unconstitu
tional and should be repealed, and suitable
enactments substituted, in accordance with
the' Federal duties of the respective States.
Resolved, That tho resolutions offered in the
United StaterSenate by the patriotic Senator
from Kentucky, and known as tho Crittenden
plan of compromise, present a satisfactory
basis for the adjustment of our dfficulties, the
measures therein specified are wise, just and
honorable, calculated to end the present de
plorable agitation, and prevent forever its re
currence. We commend this plan, or some
thing similar, to patriots, men of business,
working-men, political parties, to the. people
everywhere, and we call upon all who love
their whole country, and desire to preserve it,
to rally to such plan of compromise and carry
it through.
Resolved, That we will, by all proper and le
gitimate means, oppose, discountenance and
prevent any attempt on the part of the Repub
licans in power to make any armed aggression
upon the rights of the Southern States, espe
cially so long as laws contravening their rights
shall remain uniepealcd on the statute books
of Northern States, and so long as the just de
mands ot the South shall coutinue to be un
recognized by the Republican majorities in
these States and unsecured by proper amend
atory explanations of the Constitution.
Resolved, That in the dignified and prudent
reserve of the Southern Border States, and in
their conciliatory overtures, we recognize the
same patriotic purposes which animated the
fathers ot the Republic, and that an appeal to
the people of Pennsylvania will manifest
their hearty concurrence in all reasonable
constitutional measures for the preservation of
the Uuion, consistently with the rights of all
the States. .
Resolved, That the conduct of tho present
Governor of Pennsylvania in confining exclu
sively bis selection of Commissioners to tho
Peace Conference to the Republican party,
and excluding 230.000 freemen of Pennsylva
nia from any representation in that body, was
the act of a partisan and not a patriot.
ForxD Drowned. The body of an unknown
man, as we learn by the Luminary, was found
floating in the river at Muncy , Lycoming coun
ty, and brought ashore, by Mr. Fleming Ed
wards, on Wednesday the 13th. Nothing was
found on the person of the deceased to indicate
his name or place of residence. Ue is suppo
sed to be an Irishman, aged about 30 or 35
years5 feet six inches high, had thin red whis
k'ers. dark hair, and had on steel mixed sati
net pants, muslin over-alls, knit woollen under
shirt, check shirt, heavy coarse boots, with a
small patch on the leg of one of the boots, short
woolen stockings, black cloth vest, and a leath
er strap buckled around his waist. An inquest
was hold by ATm. P. I. Painter, Esq, and the
body interred on Thursday last in one of the
public lots in the Muncy Cemetery.
Captain Meigs, whom ex-Secretary Floyd
saw lit to remove to Florida because he woQld
not become his tool, has been restored to his
work oa the aqueduct at Washington.
, A SEVERE BEBUXE.
Lieut. J. li. Hamilton, a citizen of South
Carolina, aud 'an officer in the Navy, after
having resigned his commission on board the
Wyoming at Panama, on the 1st Dec, 1SG0,
proceeded to Charleston and issued a letter,
addressed to all the officers in the Navy from
the Southern States, urging tbem to resign
also and join a hostile force against the Gov
ernment. One of these letters was sent to W.
D. Porter, commandant of tho U. S. Ship St.
Marys, to which that gallant officer replied as
follows :
' Paxama Bat, N. G., Feb 3, 1861.
.. Sir : I have received your treasonable ap
peal, published in various papers of the Unit
ed States, and addressed to your late associ
ates of the navy. So far as I am interested, I
will here state that I was born in New Orleans,
in the State ef Louisiana, but educated and
domicilated in Pennsylvania, and that during
those times that I was uot performing my du
ties as a naval officer, I was generally a resi
dent of either Virginia, or the District of Co
lumbia. I therelorc, may be considered a
Southern man, having twice married at the
South. It affords roe pleasure to say that I
have been in the navy of the United States
thirty-eight years, and am a descendant of a
gallant officer, who in these very seas battled
for his country under the stars and stripes,
and uuder the present Constitution ; and a
mong my early lessons I was taught to love
the Union, the "stars and stripes."
l'ou, sir, have called upon your brother of
ficers, not only to become traitors to their
country, but to betray their sacred trust and
deliver up the ships under their command.
This infamous appeal would," in- ordinary
times, be treated with the contempt it deserve
es. But I feel it a duty I owe to myself and
brother officers with whom I am associated to
reply, and state that all under my command
are true and loyal to the stars and stripes and
to the Constitution. My duty is plain before
me. The constitutional government of the
United States bas entrusted me with the com
mand of this beautiful ship, and before I will
permit any other flag to fly at her peak than
the stars and .stripes, I will fire a pistol -in her
magazine and blow her up.' This is my an
swer to your infamous letter. You were one
of those men who were retained on the active
list by the late,"detestable Retiring Board."
In doing this you were endorsed as one men
tally, physically, and morally fit to occupy the
station you hold as an ofiicer of the navy.
And yon are one of the first to prove the
decision of that Board was as erroneous in
your case as it was in mine, "who they retir
ed from the navy." I was then in the deep
est trouble, and I never dreamed of becoming
a traitor to my country ; and now my country
has recalled me to active service and entrust
ed me with an important command. I will
not betray their trust. The Constitution of
the Uuited Stales defines "treason" to be
bearing arms against the United States. You
have frequently heard this read on the quarter
deck of theso vessels of the navy, and yet you
would persuade the gallant men of the navy to
place themselves along side of the "traitor"
Arnold and "yo.urself." It has ever been the
boast of the navy that she has never had one
traitor within her "corps." You, sir, are tho
first to destroy the proud boast. : Future his
tory will place you alongside of Arnold, aud
you will be the first to blot tho page of naval
history, illuminated by the example of Deca
tur, Porter, Hull, Bainbridge, Jones, Cald
well and other gallant and patriotic officers.
You also boast of the Star of the West hav
ing been driven back by the rebels of South
Carolina, and relief prevented that gallant of
ficer, Colonel Anderson.
' There are in the employment of the govern
ment sons of a gallant ofiicer, late of the navy,
who carried on the seas the stars and stripes
with" honor to himself and glory to his coun
try, "and the third within call," and had eith
er of them command of the Star of the West
the gallant Colonel would have been relieved,
and at any time tho government wants this
done, it will only be necessary to send one of
these officers. You, sir, have not mucb to
boast of in driving off an unarmed steamer
commanded by a merchant captain.
Whatever rights the Southern people had
under the "Constitution," those States that
have chosen rebellion have forfeited their
rights, and the only means for them to obtain
justice, will be for them to return to their al
legiance. No one for a moment, who has
been born and brought up on Southern soil,
can approve of the course of Northern fana
tics. But, on the other hand, a true patriot
will not approve of dismembering his country
merely beeause a few fanatics on the other
side have been guilty of wrong, "which can
be righted by legisiation." To fly to revolu
tion is to seek the' very worst of evils, and
the people of the United States must be aware
that "revolution simply is rapine, murder,
bloodshed" and that uothing but "distress"
ever follows in its train. And I am yet in
hopes the good Bense of all parties may yet
cease to trust to traitors and wily politicians,
and retrace their steps, and that harmony
may soon be restored to my distracted coun
try. W. D. Porter,
Commander United Slates Navy.
The New Confederacy. The inauguration
of Jefferson Davis, as President of the provis
ional government of the confederated States
of America, took place at Montgomery on the
18th inst. In his inaugural address the Pres
ident said he hoped the beginning of the new
confederacy would not be obstructed by hostile
opposition to its separate existence. The dis
solution of the Union is merely an assertion of
the inalienable right named in the Declaration
of Independence of 1776, to alter a government
subversive of the ends designed by it. Of this
right, the States, as sovereigns, are the final
judges. It is an abuse of language to call the
exercise of this right rebellion. If the United
States should wage war upon the confedera
tion, it would be a war of aggression, with no
wrong committed to justify it. The policy of
the confederacy, as an agricultural people, is
peace and the freest trade necessity will per
mit. There can be little rivalry with tbemana
facturing and navigating free States. If the
jurisdiction and territory of the government
be assailed, an appeal toarmsvill be necessary.
There should bo now a well-instructed and
disciplined army, more numerous than would
be required in a peace establishment. Beyond
the possible annexation of a few of the States,
provided for by the constitution, the judgment
and will of the people are that union with the
States is neither practicable nor desirable.
Destitution in Mississippi. It is said that
in the midst of the secession movements, now
in progress in Mississippi, a new confederate is
clamorous for attention. It is the State of
Starvation, and something more substantial
than rumor confirms the fact that all kinds of
provisions are getting extremely scarce. The
Brandon (Miss.) Republican says that Unless
some measures are devisod for relief, many
persons must perish for the want of food. The
agriculturists of that region have, for several
years, endured a series of reverses, losses of
crops and cattle, Sec, until they are, at present,
in but poor condition to wait long for aid from
sections that have been more fortunate. A
meeting was held at Springfield, Illinois, on
the 14th, at which a committee was appointed
to raise ptousions and torwardthem. South. .

HO S TE T T E R ' S STOMACH
II 1 T T E 11 S The proprietor and
Manufacturers of Hosteller's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters can appeal with perfect confidence to phy
sicians and citizens generally of the United StaieK
because the article has attained a reputation here
tofore unknown. A few facts upon thL point wiil
speak more powerfully than volumes of bare asser
tion or blazoning puffery. The consumption cf
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for the lait year
mounted to "over a half-million bottles, and fruia
its manifest steady increase in times past, it i tv
ident that during the coming year the consump
tion will leach sear one million bottles. . This im
raens amtwet could never have been sold but fjr
tlie rare medicinal properties contained in the pre
paration, and the sanction of the mo?t prominent
physicians in those sections v( tk ctntry where
the article is best known. who not only lecomineiiv
the Bittera to their pvtients. but are rutdy a' alt
times to give testrnMsaEafs to its efficacy ia a!! ri
ses of stOLaacbte derangements and the diseases re
sulting tbertrfroia. This-ia not a temporary popu
larity, obtaiaed by extraordinary efforts in the way
of trumpeting the qualities-f the 13itter, but a
solid estimation of aa invaluable -medicine. vihii-U
is destined to be as enduring as time it?e!f
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have proved a God
send to regions where feTer and ague and various
other bilious complaints have1 counted their vic
tims by hundreds. To be able to state confident
ly that the 'Bitters' are a ccrtttincare for the Dys
pepsia and like disease, i-stotie proprietors a
source of unalloyed pleasure. It removes all mor
bid matter from the stomaehv purifies the blood,
and imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giving it that tone and energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. 1 1 operates upon,
the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores tnem
to a condition essential to tho healthy discharge
of the functions of nature.
Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily as pi
directions on the bottle, and they will find it
stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining
years, a3 it is pleasant to the palate, invigorating
to the bowels, excellent as a tonic, and rejuvena
ting generally. We have evidence of thousands
of aged men and women who have experienced
the benefit of using this preparation while suffer
ing from stomach derangements and general de
bility; acting under the advice of physician!
they have abandoned all deleterious drugs and
fairly tested the merits of this article. A f
words to tho gentler sex. There are certain pe
riods when their cares are soharrassing that many
of them sink uuder the trial. The relation nf mo
ther and child is so absorbingly tender, that the
mother, especially if she be young, is apt to for
get herown health in the extreme anxiety fur her
infant. Should the period for maternity arnv
during the summer season, the wear of body an J,
mind is generally aggravated. Here, then, i
necessity for a stimulant to recuperat the ener
gies of the system, and enable the mother to ber
up under her exhausting trials and responsibili
ties.' Nursing mothers generally prefer the Hit
ters to all other invigorators that receive the -dorsement
of physicians, because it is agreeabl
to the taste as well as certain to givo a permanent
increase of bodily strength.
All those persons, to whom we have psrtiealir
ly referred above, to wit : sufferers from fver spa
ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery, in
digestion, los3 of appetite, and all diseases or de
rangements of the stomach, superanuated inrzl
ids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nursing
mothers, will ocnsult their own physical Trelfr
by giving to Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bit
ters a trial.
