If mothers ho lMe ilirir little babes afflicted with these distiessiug symptoms, would apply Dr. William Kvan&'s Celebrated Southing Syrup, which has preset ved hundreds ol infants when thought past reroerv, from being suddenly attacked w ith that lata I malady, convulsions. This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past recovery, from convulsions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. This preparation is ho in nocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, thai no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it. When infants are at the age of four months, though there is no up pearance of teeth, oiu; buttle of the Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young children; for if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediaiely givesease by open ing the pores and healing the gum; theie by preventing Convulsions, Fevers, Sje.

I am glad to inform yo. i, the child has completely recowred. and no recurrence of tlt.it awful complaint has since occurred; the teeth are emana ting d ttly and the child enjoys peHVn health. I give you my cheerful permission to m tke tins ackuovt ledgiiit iit public, and wilt clilly give any iul nn ui ui on this Cl' wuiMain e.

Gentlemen: In compliance with your r --quest, I hasten to reply to the reso lution of the Democratic Republican State Rights Convention, handed to me this mor ning. 1 certainly ieei mgniy nonoreu in being selected as t e Democratic Candidate for Governor, under circumstances so flat tering to my feelings, by a body so res pec'able and intelligent as that of the Con vention, under whose authority you have acted. Whilst I had no wish again to enter into the stirring and exciting scenes of politic A canvass, I do not feel myself at liberty to decline a nomination proceeding from such a source, sanctioned as I have reason to believe bv at hast that portion of my fellow-citizens, whose wishes 1 am under su-'h strong obligations to obey. It is now upwards of twenty five years since I first mingled in the active politics of the dav then a young man, the resi dent ofaCouniy, whose inhabitants have adheted with such s eady unanimity to the principles ol the republican party; I espou sed with zeal & ardor, the cause in which I found the Country then engaged in the maintenance of the rights and honor of the nation. Thus trained in the school of Dem ocracy and taught to respect the virtue and intelligence of the people, I early imbibed those doctrines of political faith, which de nies to the Federal Government the exer cise of powers not delegated, and holds inviolate the reserved Rights of the States. With these convictions it has been my ob ject on all political questions both to vote and act, with that party, whose opinions as I believe, reflect the true principles of the Constitution, as well as the sentiments, wishes and feelings of- the great body of the people. I have chose thus to act with men of my own political views, believing il the surest means of advancing such measures and principles as 1 most approved. This rule of action led me to the support of Mr. Van Buren at the last Presiden tial election, and like thousands of others I doubt not, with as disinterested motives as those who profess so great a horror, at sharing in the "spoils of the victor." Nor do I hesitate to avow my intention to upport him in the coming contest, in pref erence to the individual who has been se lected as his opponent i shall support him for the faithful manner in which he has discharged the important trust confided to his hands and because he stands pledged to maintain unimpaired the prop erty Institutions of the bouth, against the mad schemes of the abolitionists, by whom he is so generally opposed. So ! hhall sup port him, for his firm and manly adherence to the plan of an Independent Treasury that great measure of deliverance, which has been so bitterly denounced, because it proposes to give to the Government the same right which is secured to every citi zen under the Constitution, of demanding his dues in gold and silver and because it seeks to savethe honest industry of the Country, from the greedy cupidity of the speculator; and to free the Nation's mon ey from the use, as well as from the "bars and bolts" of speculating Banks. And I shall support him, because he is opposed to the power of establishing an United States Bank, and to the right of appropriating the public money to objects not authorized by the Constitution and because he is committed to the permanent reduction of the Revenue of the General J Government to the measure of its expen- 1 diture, and the reduction of its expenditure to its necessary wants. Such principles and.me sui es, if properly sustained, cannot fail as I persuade myelf, to add strength to our free institutions, to render the peo ple quiet and prosperous, and give addi tional security to the Union itself. Having thus candidly assigned the rea sons for my support; it can hardly be ne cessary to state the grounds of my objec- . - ir .l nous to me opposing canuiuaie. 11 111 uie Convention by which Gen. Harrison was nominated, not. a single mn from a slave holJing State had the temerity to vote for him, it cannot be expected that our people shall do so. The very fact, that he is allied with and supported by, a northern party, who upon all occasions have manifested the most decided hostility to the interest ot the South, constitute in my view ample grounds for opposition to his election. And let me not be accused of indulging in improper sectional feeling. So far from it, as a Southern man, I am as ready to ac knowledge our obligdions to the Demo cracy of the North, for their efficient aid in relieving us from the burdens of an odi ous Tariff; as for the patriotic firmness with which they have met the criminal designs of the abolitionists. 1 have been thus frank in the avowal of my opinion in regard to the Presidential candidates, not that I deemed it so all im portant, but that our opponents seem to consider it, as the sole test of merit, and therefore did not choose to subject myself to the charge of concealment. Let me not however be understood as complaining of this test, nor as objecting to its application eiiher to myself or friends but as simply adverting to it as a ground of complaint by those, who are so hasty to condemn, what they are so ieady to practice. For it cannot have escaped the recollection of every one, that the election of President will have transpired, before the Governor elect shall be called on to enter upon the duties of his Office. Whoever may be President, I should hold myself alike bound as a citizen and a magistrate to the support of mea sures called for by the public good; and to oppose such as might operate to the preju dice of the country, or as involved the exercise of "powers not delegated to the United States, but reserved to the States or to the people. " I desire to stand before the freemen of the State, not as the humble political partizan. but on still higher grounds. As a North Ca rolinian, ardently attached to my native State, proud of her republican character, and of that patriotic feeling, which has ev er marked the devotion of her people to the free institutions of the Country. Im pelled by these high considerations, I am a friend to that system of State policy, which shall lead to the gradual development of her resources. For sustaining, by a judi cious and economical application of her means, such works of Internal Improve ment, as shall be sanctioned by public opinion, without incurring a State debt, or running into those extravagant projects, which must end in failure, and produce that embarrassment, Which the large in debtedness of our sister States, amounting to an annual tax of more than Ten Millions has at present so seriously involved them. For husbanding that fund dedicaied to the improvement of the mind, and .sus taining that system of school education, which .'hall promise the greatest pradical benefit to the poor and necessitous. Of cautiously avoiding all obligations to thu federal government, but at the ame tin e yielding a willing acknow hdgnn nt ;f what may be its due, as well as to that tf bur sister States, by the cf.-t "t t-oi.al compact. Of demanding the faithfid ob- tr vance of law, as well by bolii (oip ra e, as by individuals. Of encourage g with liberal spirit individual eniirpize, but withholding exclusiye privileges, except
