United States, and prescribed in their practice
The experience of thousands daily proves that
no preparation of Iron can be compared with it.
Impurities of the blood, depression of vital en
ergy, pa' and otherwise sickly complexions in
dicate its necessity in almost every conceivable
case.
Innoxious in all tnalladies in which it has
been tried, it has proved absolutely curative in
each oi the billowing complaints, viz:
In Debility, Xerrous Affections, Emaciation,
Dypsia, Constipation, Diarrhwa, Dysentery,
Incipient Consitnjtion, &:rof'ulous Tuberculosis,
Siilt Rlieum, Mi.sMcnxIruaiioH, Whites, Chlorosis,
Liter Qwijlaintx, Chronic Headaches, JUicitiita
tism, Intermittent Fecers, Piuqlcs on the Face,
In cases of General Debility, whether the re

Chronic complaints one trial of this restorative
has proved successful to an extent which no
description nor written attestation would render
credible. Invalids so long bed-ridden as to have
become forgot ton in their own neighboi hoods,
have suddenly re-appeared in the busy world as
if just returned from a protracted travel in a
distant land. Some very signal instances of this
of nervous and dyspeptic aversion to air and
exercise for which the physician has no name.
In NervousVHections of all. kinds, and for
reasons familiar to Medical men, the operation
of this preparation of Iron must necessarily be
salutary, for, unlike the old oxides, it is vigor
oush' tonic, without being exciting and over
heating, and gently, regularly aperient, even in
the most obstinate cases of costivenesA without
ever being a gastric purgative or infiictin" a dis-
j agreeable sensation.
i It is this latter property, among other which
! makes it so remarkably eneetual and permanent
! a remedy for file, upon which it also appears
to exert a listincKm'l, specific action, by dis
persing the local tendency which forms them.
In Dyspepsia innumerable as are its causes,
a single box of these Chalybeate Pills has often
sufficed for the most habitual cases, including
the attendant cusUvcnesn. .
In unchecked Diarrhd-a. even when advanced
to Dysentary, confirmed emaciating and appa
rently malignent, the effects have been equally
decisive and astonishing.

remedy has auayeci tne alarm el mends and
physicians, in several very gratifying and in
tercstb'g instances.
In Scrofulous Tuberculsis, this medicated iron
has had far more than the good effect of the
mot cautiously balanced preparations of idionc.
without any ot their well known liabilities.
The attention of females cannot lc too.confi
dently invited to this remedy and resloratice, in
the caces peculiarly aneeting them.
In Rheumatism, both Chronic and inflamatory
in the latter, however, more decidedly it has
been invariably well reported, both as alleviating
pain and reducing the swellings and stifness of
the joints and muscles.
In Intermittent fevers it must neccfsarily be
a great remtdy and energetic rest rative, and its
progress in the new settlements of the West
will probably be one of high renown 8nd uso-

No remedy has ever been discovered in the

HOW GODFREY IIORTOX CHOOSE

II Y MARY . CLARKE.
"Godfrey, old boy,' said Henry
as he tilted back his chair and put
upon the mantlcpiece, 'when is the

'Whose wedding?'
Miss Laura Somers, or Jenny,
which is
it?' ;
I do not know, I am sure.'
'Now don't be ini&tcrious, Godfrey; you
know you are acongtant visitor, and ail 'our
set' are talking about the match.. Don't pre
tend you have not' selected one of the sis
ters.' 'How do you know either of them will
have me?'
'Don't be absurd, old boy. You, young,
handsome, talented, and with a large fortune,
need not be over bashful. Come, be frank,
which is the favorite sister?"
Ytl!, frankly then, I cannot tell jou. I
have visited the family for several months,
as you know, but I cannot decide. Laura is
certainly the handsomest, with her flashing
black eye and queenly manner, but Jenny
seems, although the youngest, to be the'most
womanly and useful of the two Yet, I can
not be sure of that. My entrance is the sig
nal for cordial welcome and smiles, and let
me call at what hour I will, they are always
well dressed aud apparently disengaged. To
be sure, I always iu the morning have to
wait some time before Laura is visible.'

nal economy.'
How can I? A card at the door will put
a lady on her guard, or even the notice of a
gentleman visitor.'
'Go there in disguise. As a washer wom
an f r instance '
Good! I will:'
'Go there as a washerwoman,' cried Clay
ton. 'Not exactly; but I will obtain admittance
to morning privacy.'
Well, let me know the result.'
Laura and Jenny Somers were the only
children of a widower, who, although in mod
erate circumstances, moved in very fashiona
ble society. At the period of my short
sketch, he was about to supply the lamented
Mrs Somers place, after nearly ten years of
mourning, and although a kind, indulgent
parent, had no objections to his daughter's
marriage., and. indeed, bad . told them - so,.
Laura whose high spirit resented the probable
supremacy of a step-mother, had already se
lected Godfrey Hortou for her future hus
band, and Jenny, who was younger and eo
tler in spirit, tried to conquer a carefully con
cealed preference for the same person. All
his attentions were ascribed by her to a broth
erly regard, though every act of kindness and
courtesy touched her very heart.
It was the morning after a large ball, and
the sisters were in the breakfast-room together.
Laura, her glossy black hair pushed negli
gently over her face, with the rough tum
bled braids of last evenings elaborate coiffure
gathered losely into a comb, wearing a soiled
wrapper, torn stockings, and presenting rath
er an alarming contrast to the brilliant ball
room Bene, was lougmg on a sola
- t 1 1 1
Penny,
in a neat morning; dress, with a large
pin?-
ham apron . little'white collar, and hair smooth
ly brushed into a neat knot, was washing the
breakfast dishes.
'There is an old man at the door with some
arunciai nowers, saia tne servant, opening
the dining nom door, will you see himT
'No,' said Jenny.
Yes,' cried Laura, "send him up."
The servant descended to obey the last or
eler."
ne was poorlj clad, with a coarse blue
cloak, which was much to large for him.
His hair was white, and he wore a beard and
mustache of the same snowy hue. Makin"
a low bow, he placed the large basket he
carried on a table and opened it.
I have a bunch of blue flowers here,' he
said, that will just suit your golden hair,
Miss,' and he held them before Jenny.
'It was my sister who wished to look at
your flowers, said Jenny quietly.
'Yes, bring them here,' was Laura's im
perious command. The old man's eyes fol
lowing Jenny, as she washed, wiped and put
away the dishes, swept the room aud dusted
it, and eat dswn beside Laura, who was still
looking over the basket.
See, Jenny, this scarlet bunch. Will it
not be lovely with a few dark leaves to wear
with my new silk?'
But,' whispered Jenny, "you can't afford
it just now.'
'Yes, I can. Father gave me some money
yesterday." -
'To pay the last dry Goods bill.' .
'Well, I can have that carried to my pri
vate account.' '
'Oh! Laura, I hate to hear you talk of
that private account. It seems so much like
cheating father.'
'Nonsense! it will stand till I am married,
and then I can easily save it out of my house
keeping money.'
'I should not wish to marry in debt,' said
Jenny. '
The old pedlar looked earnestly at tho two
sisters.
'You had better take this blue bunch. Miss,'
he said to Jenny. "If it ain't convenient to
pay for it now, I will call again.'
'No, 1 shall not take them
They are 7ery becoming, Miss. Look in
this glass.'
'I wish my hair was ligr,' said Laura.
'I should like to wear blue. Godfrey" Hor-.
ton said last night that forget-me-nots were
his favourtie flowers.' ' ;
Jenny colored and placing the bunch again
in the basket, said: -
Conic, Laura, decide. You arc keeping
one whose time piobably is valuable; and
then pasing a chair, she added, "I3e seated
!r; you look tired.'
"I am tired, indeed,' was the reply.
'I will take that scarlet bunch aud these
red camelias, and this white cluster,', said
Laura.
But, sister, you can't afford it."
Yes. I can, Godfrey Horton is rich.'
The old man bit his lip.
Think,' said Jenny, in a low tone, 'if yen
love him, how much it will prieve him, if he
should discover this deceit."
Nonsense! Well, 11 tell you how to rem
edy it. Lend me some of the houe-kcerinf
funds.' 1
So.', thought the old man. 'the ia honsB.
j keeper- Miss Laura always gave me to un
derstand that that was her post.' '
'Laura! steal from my father!'
There, dou't preach.'
Mis3 Jenny,' said a servant entering at
that moment, 'the dinner has come '
Jenny left the room, and Laura still turn
ed over the gay flowers, while the old man
pointed out their various beauties, he, in the
meantime running over the disordered hair,
shabby dress, Iaiy position, while he mental
ly contrasted them with Jenny's neat at
tire. Not decided yet!' saiJ Jenny, returning
after a short absence.
'No. Come here.'
I can't. Father has sent home a calf's
head and I am afraiad to trust it entirely to
Margaret. I must superintend tho dinuer,
make a pudding, aud the parlors must be
dusted, and there is my white mulle to be
finished.
Before. Lwould bo the drudge you are,'
crcid Laura.
Drudge! nons-inse! I havo plenty of time
for enjoyment, and father cannot have a com
fortable house, if some one does not super
tend these things. When I marry you may
do it, and she laughed merrily.
'As if I should not marry flrst!'said Laura,
There I have chosen all I want.
"Shall I call again for the change? said
the pedlar. 'I shall be happy to put the
Misses Summers on my list of customers.'
Yes, call again.'
So the pedlar threw up his basket, walked
home, threw aside his wig, beard and dis
guise, and wrote an offer of his heart and
hand to Miss Virginia Somers, which was
accepted.
Laura Somers had too sources of profound
speculation. One is, 'why Goefrey Horton
proposed to Jenny instead of me?' the other,
!l wonder why .that old man never called to
be paid for tbose exquisite flowers?'
A Hard Story.
There is a doctor in the north western part
of the city of Philadelphia, who is especially
remarkable for being, as the women term it,
"short and crusty." A week or two since
he was called to visit a patient who was la
boring under a severe attack of cheap whis
key. 'Well, doctor, I'm down, you see; com
pletely floored; I've got the tremendous de
lirium, you know!"
"Tremens, you fool; where did you get
your rum?" quired the doctor.
"AU over, in spots; broke out promiscous
ly, doctor."
"Served you right, but where did you get
your rum?"
"Father died of the same disease; took hira
under the short ribs and carried him off bod
ily." Well, you ve got to take something im
mediately." "You're a trump, Doc.; here, wife. I'll
take a nip of old rye."
"Lie still, blockhead Mrs. B., if your
husband should get worse before I return,
which I will in an hour, just give him a dose
of that trunk strap, maybe that will fetch him
to a sense of his foil."
The doctor smiled out gradually, and with
in an hour sailed in again, and found his
friend of "delirum tremendus" in a terrible
condition, wriething and struggling with pain.
His -wife, a female of the plain but ignorant
school, came up, aud laying her hand upon
the doctor's arm said, "doctor, I gave him
the strap as you directed."
"Did you thrash him well?"
"Thrash him?" exclaimed the astonished
woman; "No. I cut the strap into hash and
made him swallow it!"
"Oh, Jjord doctor!" roared the victim, "I
swallowed the leather, but, but "
, "But, what?"
"I swallowed the whole strap, but, butl'll
be d n if I could the buckle."
The doctor administered two bread pills
and evaporated.

Erwnthe WasIiiig!vn"Cvnli:utiou."
Douglas's claim to regularity in the nomina
tion xcithout Juumiitiou his lygus strength
did not receive tico thirds, even including
the bogus delegates.
The pretentions of the friends of Mr. Doug
las that he is the regular nominee of the par
ty have been urged with so much warmth and
persistency as in certain quarters to have pro
duced some effect on the public mind. There
are loyal democrats who now even hesitate as
to their proper course; democrats who have
been chagrined at the factitious and revolu
tionary course of the friends of Mr. Douglas
in the Front Street Theatre Convention in ex'
eluding the regularly-accredited delegate? of
sovereign States, and admitting in their stead
delegates representing not even a respectable
minority or the party; democrats who disap
prove and denounce the one-man spirit of rule
and rum which, lor the first time in our his
tory as a party, has been ma le to rise above
all considerations of fraternity, equality, and
fairness; democrats who have seen the most j
atrocious ana degrading means resorted to
manufacture and misrepresent public senti
ment, democrats who know that the great
bulk of the office holders, all sorts of needy
adventures, those who make politics a trade,
and are influenced by the hope to secure the
f-poils of office, were the noisy and unscrupu
lous instruments of forcing the nomination of
Mr. Douglas with a view to his elevation to
the first office ia the gift of the Amrrican
people. Yes. even these democrats, loyal to
ptrty rnle and devoted to the Constitution of
their country, are hesitating aud pausing as
to the path of duty. To such we address our
selves. To such we say the claim of the
friends cf Mr. Douglas is not only arrogant
but false. Mr. Douglas never received two
thirds of the vote of the electoral college
There was not in the Convention when he
was nominated two-thirds of the votes of the
electoral college. His strength, increased by
the votes of the bogus delegates from Ala
bama, Lousiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and
Massachusetts, never exceeded 172 votes; and
rejecting these votes, his strength was only
157 votes.
A most artful and deceptive game was play
ed in the Front-street Theatre Convection to
give adventitious strength to Mr. Douglas.
Before we proceed to annalize the vote, we
beg to contrast with it the proceedings of the
national democracy in its Convention at the
Maryland Institute The true democracy ad
mitted no delegates except those legally and
formally accredited from the democratic party
of the several States; none whose credentials
had not been presented and approved by the
voice of the original Convention when it as
sembled in Charleston. That Convention ad
mitted to seats the Dean Bichmond delega
tion from New York and rejected the Wood
delegation. The Maryland Institute Con
vention, acting on facts, refused to admit the
cran io Wood delegates to seats. So in the
case of Illinois. The united Convention at
Charleston gave scats to the Doagla3 dele
gates and rejected the delegates headed by
Isaac Cook. The Maryland Institute Con
vention refused teats to these latter del cerates.
There were gentlemen present who desired
seats as representing Iowa. They were not
admitted to seats, on the ground that they
were not authorized to act in hchalfofthe
democratic party of Iowa in Convention as
sembled. This course in reference to seats,
so honorable to the true democracy, so hon
orable to the friends of Breckenridgo and
Lane, demonstrates that a firm rc-liaueo was
had in the justice and necessity of their course
in instituting the Convention, and in present
ing candidates and a platform worthy of the
national democracy throughout the Union.
One hundred and five and a half Lona-fide
electoral votes were cast in the Maryland In
stitute Convention cast by delegates admit
ted to seats at the Charleston Convention.
To which must be aided the vote of South
Carolina and of Delaware, which subsequent
ly endorsed the action of the Convention; one
half vote from Mincsota the case of a dele
gate who was not present in either Conven
tions, but who subsequently approved the ac
tion of the Convention which had assembled
at the Maryland Insiitute.This makes 117
electoral votes represented in the Maryland
Institute Convention, and leaving but 1S6
votes, including those who participated in
neither Conventions. The records shows that
'1 votes in Connecticut, 3 votes in Kentucky,
o votes in Pennsylvania, 4 votes in New
Jersey, 2 vole in Maine, and '2 votes in Mis
souri, took no part ia cither convention, leav
ing but 170 bona Jide votes in the entire con
vention; and, counting the bogus votes from
Alabama and Lousiana. 1 bogus vote from
Arkansas, J bogus in Massachusetts, and 1
bogus in Missouri, but 1S5 votes. Thus giv
ing Mr. Douglas the full bene5t of the revo
lutionary proceeding in rejecting regularly
accredited delegates, admitting, to meet his
argument of regularity, that the bogus dele
gates were fairly admitted, we find that there
never was two-thirds of the electoral college
in his convention, and that on tho final bal
lot he received only 172 votes. But it may
be contended that his nomination was made
unanimous. Let him have the benefit of the
statement, and his full strength was only 1S3
votes the whole number of vote3 actually
represented in the Convention, including bo
gus delegates and all.
To further ilustratc the course of deception
practiced in the Fro.it Street Theatre, we
will refer to the vote of Massachusetts. Mas
sachusetts had 26 delegates; 16, including
Mr. Hallet, withdrew and took their scats ia
the Hall of the Marylasd Institute, and they
cast 8 votes; 11, including Mr. Chapin, Mr.
Uallett's substitute, remained, and cast 10
votes Which Convcntien pursued the course
of honor and truth? Wcat right had the 10
real and the llallct substitute, at most,
to cast more than b vote? They were cu-
titled to but 5 votes: they were allowed 10
votes. What righr bad tho Minnesota dele
gates to cat the entire vcte in the Conven
tion, in face of the known fact that Becker,
Edgcrton and Tridley had withdrawn, refu
sing any IoDger to reeognite the Convention;
in lace cf the known fact ."Chat two or tiicsc
gentlemen were actually present in the other
Convention, through an authorized proxy,
vindicating the fealty cf Minnesota?
But the . wicked an J blind rejection of the
delegates of sovereign States has already re
ceived the most withering rebuke from tLc
South. How have the bogus delegates from
Alabama and Louisiana, who falsely claimed
that they represented the democracy pf these
States, who voted for Mr. Douglas in Convcn
tion, and who guarantied the Vcte of their re
spective States for Douglas, been received by
the gallant democrats of their respective
States What cry has come up from their
plains, their valleys and their bill-sides, ard
whose banner is everywhere waving jn the
breeze? bat say the democracy in their
primary meetings, their mass asseaillagcs,
and through the press? " One universal cry
for equal rights, of defiance to wrong, of de
termination to stand erect, and one crv for
Breckinridge and Lane. Nearly the entire
press of every Southern State but Missouri,
and especially of the States whose borus dele
gales were put in the seats of honor by the
Front Street Theatre Cenvention, have raised
the flag of Breckinridge and Lane.
Thus the hand of dissimulation and of
wrong is stamped upon the Douglas Conven
tion of the Front Street Theatre, and wc find
patriots all over this extended Union comin
to the rescue of the democracy. At the
North paper after paper is unfurling the fag
of the invincible dtmocracj-. To rescue he
Constitution from the poiler. to defend the
integrity of cur faith, and to vindicate the
equal rights cf the sovereign States, good
men and true are organizing in all parts of
our common country. Wc bid them God
speed. We know they are clothed in the
panoply of the invincible truth. Wc appeal
to democrats everywhere not to be deceived or
seduced by a factitious pica of regularity into
the support of candidates who cannot coa
mand a single electoral vote, and whose claims
can only be pushed at the risk of the dismem
berment of this glorious Union and the disas
trous wreck of the hopes of the friends of lib
erty throughout the world.
