The Nominee of (he tiiieaiiuali
Convention.
The Democratic Convention at Cincinnati
lias finished its labors, by presenting to the
country the name of Jamjcs Buchanan as
its candidate lor the Presidency. The re
sult was simply a foregone conclusion.—
The manufacture of partizan opinion in '
l'avor of that gentleman has been conducted
with more than usual industry these twelve \
mouths past. It is fair to presume that
everywhere outside of the Custom Ileuses j
lie was the first choice of the party, and.
that but for the feeble stand made against
him bv the office-holders during the fiiv.
day's voting, he would have been nominated
at once by acclamation. As it was, the
litml result approached sufficiently near to
unanimity to be described justly as the com
bined sense of the party.
Measuring the general scope of the Con.
volition by the light of this its crowning act,
we are struck with one ei ran instance of
peculiar significance. Of a'l the nron who
have done service in the enslaving and -fet
tering of Kansas, the claims of not one lias
been recognized by the party. They are
not only passed over, but deliberately avoid
ed and discarded. 1 'oursi. as, who devised
the inii |nitons scheme: PiEHCE, who sacri
ficed conscience and popularity to earry it
out; III'NTEK, who spoke for it and voted
for it: ('ASS, who has since repeatedly pet"
'ifogged in its justification; have alike been
consigned to the limboof disused politicians,
and n mm absent from the country through"
out the struggle, unpledged to the details o*
execution if not to the principles ou which
it rested, is honored with all the party has
to give. No confession of weakness inher
ent. in the cause could be more direct and
explicit. Evidently, no person is deemed
safe to go to tin? people witb, who can he
held immediately or remotely responsible
for the flagrant mischief of the last two
years. As far as practicable, be is to come
with a clean record. Hence the platform is
drawn with an ingenious nicety *>f phrase
that admits of a construction severely con
demnatory of the policy which lias ruled the
out-going Administration, and rises fog
enough to shroud the policy likely to cliarac-
terize the Administration to come, should
the nation be so unfortunate as to see Mr.
DITHAXAN at its head. Gratitude gives
way to craft. The candidate is selected
upon the same essential principle that pro"
cured thr choice of FKANKUN PIERCE at
Baltimore, namely, that, upon tlie only
<|Uostion iu regard to which there is an ex
'•ited public sentiment, he i-an utter nobody.
he lias yet to commit himself.
(,'onldthe political antee<dents of Mr.
Jit tiiaNAN' he forgotten, there is mocli in
l.is personal character to secure ac<|Ute.ceuc e
iu the wisdom of the nomination. A utan
of h>rge though somewhat fruitless experi
ence und familiarity with the world, his
agreeable manners and ready pleasantry in
.social intercourse insure him the liking of
those who encounter him in private life. In
public life, however, his reputation is very
far from enviable. At 110 period, even at
those epochs of imminent emergency when
the latent powers of men are roused and
exhibited in tbctr largest extent; has Mr.
B< CHANAN distinguished himself by talent,
courage, or decision of character. Change
ful, uncertain, vacillating, directed by none
of those generous impul.-us which marked
the early life of WKIJSTKK, and the whole
life of CLAY, he has set coolly dowti to the
.-■iistomy of circumstances, studying their
relations with his own private interest and
aims in politics, where other men consulting
< nly the instincts of right and justice, have
taken places in the issue at once. If any
trait u>rc eminently than another is evinced
in the biography of Mr. Bi CIIANAN, it is
mid, calculating selfishness, passive rather
. tlrin active, bccat-e based on mediocrity of
talent: a practitioner of politics not for
public but for personal advantage. Gov
erned by ibis cautious policy, he bus never,
throughout a long legislative career, suggest
ed or originated a single measure of any
importance cr concern to the Union. At
those crises of threatened convulsion, when
the interposition of some great name could
alone avoid the catastrophe, Mr. Bt'CIIAX
AN'S was never that name. Slow indeed t 0
ally himself with untried ventures, lie has
uof embraced lire side of order and peace
/Is popularity out doors was as aired.
sJ. tu"- outset cf its political career, a fod
•rav'-d of I lie S>.;-a : U-st sect, a federalist lie
has remained, although identified with and
♦ .cctiiinipdf ! itg himself tit the varying doc~
t l ines and -fiyrtunes of Ihe D "UiQc ratio P trty.
Hence, wlthqjjt snj more distinct disclosure
"f bis .sentiufcpU iiu regard to territorial
question* than may be drawn from the pub
lished tuwi unreptftli&tctl letter to ison.
1 Jou.y Jaj.ljJEl b, and from <(*> uiidcceptibl 0
platform upon which bo J.s nominated, we
arc' jtmlmruMHi to believe Mr. JiccJIASAN
will go all lengths in the policy inaugurated
by tsOjE2ax.A£ ami Pit.a/: r:„ merely because
it is an assertion of the absolute supremacy 1
i f the Federal Go*erii]U'*ut, over the separate I
States," aud over tlia people.
It ts impossible, therefore, to regard the ■
candidal*--of the Cincinnati Convention as j
either sate or available. He cannot, be j
otherwise thau unsafe, at the present mo
ment, who, in question! of domestic interest,
upholds inveterately doctrines subversive of
Htate Sovereignty; or who in the conduct
of foreign policy, has displayed the extreme
weakness and tendency to blunder and be
fog him.-elf: which Mr. Dl'v'tlAXAS mani
j ■' .ed tii, oughout his recent intercourse with
, the British Foreign Office The Republic
n if °ver, requires a statesman at the
helm. The crisis is the most perilous tc
which it has ever been exposed. It can
encounter no danger more formidable. hook
tog at the career of Mr. Bcciianan in il,e
most favorable light, we recognize in it noth
ing o! cither talent or statesmanship; nothing
but the cold-blooded self seeking and craft
of the party politician, than the elevation
of wliiclj to power no calamity is to be more
anxiously deprecated oravoided. We doubt
whether the masses, to whom the Convention
oomttK'tids its labors, will not be found of
r. i
A \\ Uiy OI'INION OF BfCHAXAN.—
The Worcester (Mass.) .-Egis, a staunch
Old Line Whig journal, in noticing the
Cincinnati nominat ions,'-concludes as fol- :
lows:
I lie whisper that some, wlio continued:
faithtui to the old line, would lend their
votes to the Democratic cause if Buchanan i
Agere selected to represent it, was heard by
us long ago. But we rare nothing for
whispers especially for whispers that reach
the ear in the equivocal manner these have
done. Gentlemen, it would be a madness
that would show the whole of your past
policy and principles to have bean a sham—
an inconsistency that would prove yon to be
hat hypocrites, and if not that, a silliness
that must, make yon out the very slimmest
specimens of fools, to support in the coining
contest the nominee of the Democratic Con
vention. Are you men who love the me
mory of Henry Clay,— then we admire
your spit it of biotlierly love and forgiveness
in voting for the man who abetted, if he did
not originate, the vilest slander that Loeofo
coism ever attempted against our gallant
leader. admirersof conservatism,
then be assured that the conservatism of
James Buchanan is as hollow as the skull
upon a battle field, and better illustrated
by the domestic and foreign polcy enunci
ated it) the Cincinnatti resolutions than by
the stolid gravity of a professional office
seeker. Are you friends of the Union, —
then we tell you that should James Bu
chanan he elected, and carry out the sug
gestions of his own platform to the degree
of continuing the action of the present ad
ministration, the Union would not be worth
a day's purchase, and would even then be
cheap at a tithe of the self respect men are
uow willing to sacrifice upon its altar. Bu*
to Whigs there is very little need of pre
senting reasons for opposition, or, at the
least, indifference to the success of this
nominee. As Whigs wo have a policy and
principles of ottr owe to sustain, and the
proper way to sustain them is very tar from
an affiliation with the party that is responsi
ble for the troubles under which the coun
try suffers at present, and under which,
should the Administration of to da) be a im
proved by the result of November, it is to
suffer other and still greater agonies. Let
the real conservatism, the rral democracy,
the real love of Union, be the touchstones
that shall test the integrity of the con
servatism, the democracy and the love of
Union that James Buchanan represents, auu
there is very little danger of Whig, Repub
lican or Democrat at the North supporting
such an embodiment.
MR. CLAY AND MR. BIVWANAX.—
When Mr. Polk was nominated for the
Presidency, Mr. Buchanan declared to Gen.
Clinch that he would carry Pennsylvania;
for, said lie, we will make those I'etmsylva
nia Germans believe that 'Polk is a better
tariff man than Clay.' The event proved
that Mr. Buchanan was in earnest. He
took the field for Polk in Pennsylvania, and
averred, on his honor as a gentleman, that
i he knew 'Mi. Polk to be a better tariff man
i than Clay.' Ho the Pennsylvania Germans
voied lor Mr. Polk, as Buchanan said they
would, and Polk was elected.
WE have the highest authority for as
sert iug that Henry Clay never forgave Mr.
Buchanan for averting this last nut
rage. For his complicity in the 'bar
gain and corruption swindle' he had previ
ously forgiven him; but the 'Pennsylvania
swindle' he could not forgive, and never
R pnke to him from that time to the day of
his death, although frequently thrown in
contact with him in the society of Washing
tori.
The friends of Henry Clav would do
well to remember this, and to nsk them
selves what must be the extent of Buchan
an's unworfbiness, when Henry Clay, the
most magnanimous of men, regarded the
treatment he had experienced at his hands
-us unpardonable.— Washington Organ.
P vriNo ACCORDING TO THE STANDARD.
—'The Lebanon Courier sap:
While the balloting were going on at
Cincinnati considerable interest was felt in
the result eren here in Lebanon, and some
bets were staked on the final issue. Among
others were two of our "'fellow citizens,"
Who risked a darV wages on Buchanan.—
When the news of (he nomination arrived,
tie backer of Buck called on the loser for
the amount of the bet, and was proffered
'ten cents.'it being contended that under
Buchanan hi* standard of wages must rule.
In another ease, an admirer of Mr. Bu
i chaivan was rejoicing over bis nomination
| when a rather crusty opponent silenced him
j with 'yes, you needn't care if Buchanan
should be elected and labor reduced to 'ten

BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE.
MTIOM MOTIONS
TO NOMINATE CANDIDATES FOlt PRES
IDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT.
VV e have had three different National
Conventions within a wick— two in N. York
city and one in Philadelphia. First was
the "Northern American" or unti-Fillmore
National Convention, in session in N. York,
which nominated Mr. Speaker Banks for
the Presidency, aud ex-Governor Johnston,
of Pennsylvania, lor Vice President: sec
ond several delegates who seceded nominat
ed Com. Stockton, of N. 'Jersey, and Keu
netli R.ryner, of North Carolina, for Presi
dent and Vice President. The cause </
the secession was as follows
A communication from the Republican
National Executive Committee,appointed bv
'he Pittsburg convention was presented,
stating that the said convention desired to
include in their invitation for the con rent ion I
to be held in Philadelphia on the 17th inst.
all those opposed to the extension of slavery.
The letter was read and referred to a com.
mitt.ee by.a large majority, which committee
finally reported in its favor, when the re
{•ort was adopted amidst great enthusiasm
George haw, or 'Live Oak George,' made
a speech to the convention advocating the
restoration of the Missouri Compronle, a
railroad to the Pacific, &c. He particularly
rejoiced that the convention had resolved to
unite all the elements of the North in one
solid phalanx to crush out the viper (-la very)
that has coiled itself around our liberties.
I. was the only thing in his opinion to save
the { nion, and do justice to the south as
well us the North. He was zcalousfv op.
posed to any further extension of slavery.
Previous to the nomination of Mr. B inks
the following proceedings took place:—
Mr. llalstead, of N. Jersey, presented a
delegation, withdrawing from the Conven
tion, on the ground that it was controlled
by Abolitionists, and that there was a de"
termination to merge it into the Republican
Convention at Philadelphia, aud calling a
meeting at Palace Hall.
A great scene of confusion followed, the
outsiders applauded and shouted, and the
president called upon the officers to restoiy
order.
Gor. Johuston, of Pennsylvania, said he
regretted that the N. Jersey del eg ition had
placed upon the records such a communi
cation. There was nothing in the proceed,
iugs of the convention, that justified the
allegation that it was under the control of
any other body (if men. [Applause.]
Governor J. proceeded at length to urge
harmony and union among all enemies of
the administration in order to secure sue-
cess.
Mr. Ranch of Pennsylvania. finding the
convention would not nominate an American
candidate, would respectfully request leave
to withdraw. The gentleman withdrew
amid the greatest excitement. The disorder
became so great tLat the police had to be
sent for.
Subsequently, after order had been re
stored, the convention proceeded to ballot
but before a nomination was effected the
entire delegation from X. Jersey, with five
others from X. York, Pennsylvania and
Delaware, had "bolted" and left the Con
vention.
The announcement of the ballots showing
the choice of Banks and Johnston was re
ceived with great enthusiasm. The first in
formal ballot was as follows: [Whole num
ber of votes east 1-2.j 11 inks 42; Fremont
30; McLean 10; Stockton 13; Kx-Uovci
nor Johnston 7; Chase 5.
The ninth and last formal ballot was Banks
50: Freement 23; McLean 80.
Governor Johnston returned his ac
knowledgments to the conventbi for the
honor conferred.
Governor Ford, of Ohio, spoke for him
self and the Ohio Delegates, as being warm
ly in lavor of the nominees of the conven
tion.
The convention then adjourned 'o Thurs
day, after adopting the following platform:
First—Liberty now and forever—one and
inseparable.
Second—Freedom of the ballot box from
foreign influence; freedom of conscience;
freedom of speech; freedom of the press
free territory and free Kansas; no advan
tage to slavery from the repeal of the uiis
sonri Compromise, the improvement of
fivers, and the construction and improvement
of harbors as well on the great lakes s on
the ocean; the immediate construction of a
r uilr<>ad across American territory to the
Pacific States, by such aid on the part of
the government as may bo necessary to ac
complish such result.
The delegates who "bollted" met at Pal
ace Hall. Among the delegates present
were Colonal J. 11. Codet, of Maryland;
E. O. Perrin, of Tennessee, and A. 11.
.Robinett, of Delaware. About 2.> in all
were in attendance.
Com Stockton and Mr. Rayner were nom
inated by acclamation.
[The body was here interrupted by cheers
giveufor Mr. George 0. Jones, a bolting
delegate from Maryland, who at this point
entered the room.)
Mr. llalBtcad, of N. Jersey, said that
Commodore Stockton's principles are well
known, anJ may be defined as follows: 1.
The constitution and its compromises. 2.
The preservation of the Uuiou at all hazards
[Applause.] 3. The repeal of essential
modification of the naturalization laws.—-
[Applause.] 4. That Americans shall rule
! America. [Applause J Three cheers were
here given for Coimaouure Stockton, and
, cries of ''that's the talk.*"]
Mr. Perrin, of Tenn., stated that when
he understood from both his friends, North
and South, how the nomination of Stocktuu
I and Rayner would reconcile parties in the
! North, without hurting Fillmore and Dou
clson in the South;!) e freely gave his vote
for the nominees.
Three cheers were given for Fillmore nnd
Donolson and also for Commodore Stockton,
when the convention adjourned.

The 'Republican' or Free Soil Conven
tion met in Philadelphia on Tuesday, and on

including I*. Williamson.
SECOND DAY.
PHILADELPHIA, June 18.—This morning
the hall was more crowded than on the pre
vious day, being closely packed. It was
evident that as the time for balloting ap
proached the feeling of the friends ot the
different candidates iucreise l in intensity.—
Copies of Mr. Sumner's speech were circu
lated freely among the delegates.
The Mas-uchusetts delegation met at an
early hour this morning, and unanimously
agreed to cast their ballots for Mr. Banks,
after which T. J. Marsh authoritatively and
peremptorily withdrew his (Mr. B's) name.
The delegation then voted as u unit to sup
port Mr. Fremont.
The committee on the platform rcporfed a
scries of resolutions, which were adopted.
A debate niign uoctired whether or not
tiie Convention should proceed to a formal
or informal ballot.
Mr. Patterson, of X. Yor!t,ftcr some re
marks, withdrew Mr. Reward's name, but, at
the same time, said it was done at. the re
quest of the N. York delegation; and if
any, after this, thought proper to vote for
him. he would be glad to join them.
Tbe question on proceeding to ballot was
then put aud carried.
The first formal ballot resulted in the al
most unanimous nomination of Mr. Dayton,
of N. Jersey, "20 votes only being scattered
among other candidates. Subsequently the
various delegations mode their vote unani
mous.
The Convention was then addressed by a
large number of speakers, including J. P.
Hale, of X. Hampshire, J. A. King, of X.
York, Carpenter, of Vermont, Judge Test,

Kent, of Maine, Senator Wilson, of Massa
chusetts, Judge Tyler, of Connecticut,
Biakelv, of Kentucky, Underwood, of
Virginia, Davis, of Rhode Island, Fussell,
of Maryland, Judge Hoar, Mr. Brauscotub
and Gen. Pomcroy, of Kansas.
THIRD DAT.
Philadelphia, June 19.—When the con
vention re-asscmblcd this morning, Mr.
Welphy moved to go into an informal bal
lot for Vice President, and nominated Mr.
Dayton, of New Jersey;
Mr. Fisher nominated David Wilmof. of
Pa.
Mr. Allison, of Pa., presented the pro
ceedings of the State Republican Conven
tion approving the platform of the National
Convention, and ratifying the nomination
for the Presidency, piomiamg united sup

Clay 4; Biddings 8: Wilson 7: Kiag 9;

35; Collamer 15; Johnston 2; Penningtou
1; Casey 3.
The committee on resolutions in the com
munication from the 'North Americans,' re
ported that they have come to no arrange

After passing the usual resolutions of

Indiana, Ashley, of Ohio, Bleekcr, of New
York, Hornblower, of New Jersey, Hoar,
of Mass., Stevens, of Pa., Bingham Wells,
of California, and Aldrieh, of Connecticut,
a committee to inform the nominees of their
nomination, the Convention adjourned sine
die.
A letter from Pontotoc county Mississip
pi, says; "The American council-fires burn
brightly in this proud little'sovereignty' of
old Pontotoc." From every quarter our
private correspondence brings cheering ac
counts of the deep, but not uoisy enthusi
asm for the "Model President," Fillmore,
and the conservative, Union-loving, Ameri
can Democrat Donelson.
We care not who is nominated at Cincin
nati, the peace-loving, substantia"! men of
the country—the agricultural and commer
cial classes especially—will fiud it to their
interest to vote the American ticket.. The
party at present in power, is hopelessly cor
rupt, and must be burled from power.—
Many thousands of Democrats,scattered all
over the country see this, and will quietly
but certainly set upon it at the Presidenti
al election.—.Memphis Car.
ME. Boot AN AN, NO LONGER. —The
Keystone Club paid a visit, to Mr. Buchanan
at his residence at Wheatland, a few days
; since; and while there, it become necessary
for him to make a speech, which has since
been published, aud from which we make
an extract;
"Gentlemen, two weeks since I should
have made you a longer speech, hut now I
have been placed 011 a platform of which 1
most (iearily approve, at.d that can speak
for me. Being the representative of the
great Democratic party, and not simply
James Bucbamm, I must square my conduct
according to the p'atforui of the party, and
insert no new plank nor take one from it."
Thus it will he seen that Mr. Buchanan
sinks his individuality, aud is therefore no
longer himself. He is placed upou the
Democratic platform—a platform which
avows the doctrine dint "the flag of the
Federal Union, under the Constitution of
the United States, carries slavery wherever
it floats"'—and, bound hand and foot to it,
he will fall like a blind giaut. Is it not
degrading to give up everything, to follow j
the behests of party?
J. GLAXCT JONE*' RECORD OF "OLD
RI CK. Hon. J. Glancey Jones, in Lis at
tempts to defend "Old Ruck" from the
"home thrusts" of Hon. Henty M. Fuller,
cites the following evidence, of 'Old Ruck's'
Southern availability:
"They are answered by the fact that,
while a member of Mr. Polk's Cabinet,
against the opposition of fanaticism, he pro
posed to extend the Missouri line to the
Pacific, amid the delight and gratitude
national men of all parts of the Union."
If .Mr. Buchanan delighted the national
men by proposing the extension of the Mis
souri restriction, what class of men does he
now uelight by adhering to its repeal? Can
it be that the national men of I'reside tit
Polk's administration, who were stern ad vo
cates of the Missouri restriction, are the
national men of the present day, who de
nounce the measure which gave them such
delight, as "odious and unconstitutional?''
A VOICE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.—
The Columbia South Carolina Times, a
Democratic journal, thus repudiates Mr.
Buchanan:
Mr. Buchanan's nufcceden's arc such that
we cannot give him our support; nor do we
believe that the people of South Carolina
can be induced to assist in placing him in
the Presidential chair, lie is nor only a
renegade from the Whig party, a tariff man,
and a Federalist, but a Free Soi'er, having
given his support to almost every Northern
movement introduced to circumscribe the
area covered by the institution cf slavery.
To sum up the whole of his history, he is
not an advocate of Slate Rights and we
doubt not he w ill go farther than any of his
predecessors, if elected, to consolidate the
Government. South Carolina cannot con
sistently support Mr. Buchanan, llisnomi
nation is a rebuke to Mr. Pierce and bis
Administration.
BUCHANAN RKITDIATED. —The Buffa
lo Republic, a loading organ of the Radi
cal Democracy in New York State, repudi
ates Buchanan. It concludes a long arti
cle a follows:
"But wo have neither leisure nor space
to pursue this subject to-day. Knought
hat we now declare that, under no circum
stances (although always acting with the
Democratic organization, and ardently at
tached to it. by a life-long association,) pan
we support the nominee of the Cincinnati
Convention, upon the platform which that
body has adopted."
Xo ENTHUSIASM.—There was a Buchan
an ratification meeting at Wheeling the other
night, but the Washington Organ is inform
ed by a Democrat who was present, on his
return from Cincinnati, that there was no
enthusiasm whatever. The nomination of
Buchanan fails like a log on the stalwart
Democracy of the West. 'J'liey do not like
the idea of workiug for ten cents a day.
tt3P*There were min y funny scenes at
Cincinnati, during the Looo pow wow last
week, but none richer than ;!: formal pre
sentation of a heavy bludgeon to Richard
son, of Illinois, by the Missouri delegation,
as a token of the esteem of the Ruffian
Stringfellow Richardson, of course, was
overwhelmed with the honor conferred on
hiiu, aud groaned with delight.

Touicti Won't Do!
Thrt never did do more t!n give tetnporarv
relief and they never will, it is because they
don't touch tlie CAUSE or the disease. The
CAUSE of all ague and lalliou* diteases is the
atmospheric poison called Miasma or Malaria.
.Neutralize this poison bv its NATURAL AN-
TiIKITK, and all disease caused by it disap
pears at one:. Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure
is this Antidot ■ tMalaria, and moreover it is
a perfectly tiarmlcss medicine. The certificate
of the celebrated chemist, J. k. Chilton, of
New York, to this effect, is attached to everv
bottle: therefore if it doe* r.o good it can do
no harm. •
This is more than can l>e said of Qiip-inc,
Arsenic, or any tonic in existence, as their'nse
is minous to -the constitution and brings on
DUMB AGUE, which allows a person to}
feet perfectly well fbr a single moment. In il
hi at ration of these truths 1 annex some extracts,
from a letter just recti ved from a Physician:
GEORGETOWN, OHIO, March, 17, 1850.
J VS. A. RHODES Esq.—Dear Sir: Yours
of 2d inst is at hand. Tne Cure arrived lite
last year and the difficulty in getting any one to
try it warn greatly increased (Vow the tact ttiat a
remedy had been introduced which was grow-,
iitg in favor will) the public, as being better than
using Quinine,—not knowing I presume tliui
tiie remedy tls-y usvded t> escape taking Quin
ine. contained tiie DRUG ITSELF!
} Thus remedy, (known as "Smith's Tonic,"j
would invariably BKKAK an ague, but it dm
i not CUKE it. a-s it would often return with re
! riewed vigor. This one ciicQutstanee i deeuied
it) your favor. if. J could iwatitn c a test n.iu
j jmrisoD between it and your CUKE. The fol
; iotving is tin: lesuU:
Three persons luoky.ur "Cure," all of which
were cases ot ••Quotidian Intermittent Fever,"
j of many weeks standing. They had tried Qui
nine, and other remedies, occasionally niissingfi
chili, but it was, (as in all such caiws,) slowly
wearing tlu-tn out, and laying the luuudatkw of
other and severer nial.ulu s. i did succeed iu
effecting a radical cuie of all three of these
eases with your remedy, aud they have m.t had
, a chill since. In all three of these eases the
'•Smith's Tonic" had been used, and would, as
j before stated, break the chill, but alter a |retiud
01 two had eiaps'-d it would return.
1 think there will be no difficulty now in giv
ing to your Ctrnr the vantage pronnd ot unv
other remedy now in use here, etc., etc.
