The text of the speech of Senator Mer. rimon, delivered in the Senate last Tues day in reply to that of Mr. Blaine, of Wednesday a week ago, is just to hand in the Congressional Record. It occu pies more than seven columns of that journal. It is exhaustive, labored argu mentative, and its force was not broken by the remark of Mr. Blaine, at its con clusion, that "the Senator from North Carolina was probably addressing an iissemblage soon to meet at llaleigh rather than the Senate that is lefore him to-day." Mr. Merrimon's speech closed with the following truthful and forcible utterances: Mr. President, I want to reply to sim ply one remark made by the Senator from Maine a moment ago. What I wish to say ft that of 'all the curses that have beset the Southern' people' irf the Southern States since the war, I believe that agitations like that now going on in the Senate chamber are the greatest. 1 believe the South would be happy, would be filled up with capital and im migration Tblttt for the fact that capital and immigration have been frightened away by slanders like those that are proclaimed "ikt'bnly from this point but from a.thousaad other points against the Southern people. Notwithstanding these misrepresentations and slanders, in many of the Southern States immense amounts of capital are there profitably invested. I knoW'mahy Northern citi zens who have gone into my own State, and many of them are among the best there. They. are hopeful; they are pros-..' perous; they encourage others to go there. 1 wish this agitation : would cease, that the vast volume of immigrar lion mat" fcogs to the West would go' South ; aud the day is not distant when it will do so. But I must say that 1 trust the Senate will vote down the res olution, and frown on everybody who engages in agitation. In rejoinder to this' Mr. Blaine asked a question: Before the Senator sits down will he answer me how many Northern men there are in North Carolina now as com pared with ten years ago V Judge Merrimori responded that he could not -undertake to state. Senator Kansom quickly took up the gauntlet and the Record reports him thus: Will my colleague pardon me for one second. I cannot state to the Senator from Maine specifically or exactly how many there are but I can assure him of the fact that the number of Northern men who Iraye settled in North Caro lina in the last ten years is very large, and I think I can very truly, I know I can most sincerely say that as a general rule they are doing very well. Let me be a little more particular. There is a large settlement, rather what we in North Capyiua. would call large settlement, at Elizabeth City. I think a friend of the Senator from Maine is there, the chief, if I may say so, of that settlement. They are doing uncommon ly well. They are engaged in manufac tures, slightly in commerce, and in agri culture. On the Roanoke River, at a place known, as Jamestown, nearer to myself than ; to my colleague, there is another large settlement engaged in taking timber from the swamps. They have built a handsome village and are projecting a railroad out into one of the timber regions of North Carolina. At Henderson, in Granville county, half way between my colleague and myself, on the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, and near liidgeway, there is another large settlement of Northern people doing very well. At Greensboro, in North Carolina, and in the neighbor-, hood of Guilford", there is another large settlement of Northern Deoole. I see from the papers that a large colony have: recently purchased land in the moun tains of North Carolina and propose to make that their home. It is so all over the State. They had been following; th6 lines of the rivers aftd along the lines nk the railroads, and ndw ijhey are gini out into the mountain region of North Carolina off the lines of railroads. I beg leave to say furthermore to the Senator from Maine and to the country that those people are satisfied with their own homes, and invariably, when 'they have come as good men' regardleof political associations or" what we may consider partisan prejudices, they have been taken by us by the hand. We re gard them as our friends and fellow citizens, and they, regard us as theirs, Marriages have taken! place between them and natives brNthe State; partner ships have occurred between them. The face of the Senator from New York (Mr. Conkling) now reminds me that I introduced but a few days ago to his colleague a distinguished eentleman- from his own StAe with whom I had me nonor io De apartner in a small transaction, with to gteat deal of hope, I fear not too much reality, in North Carolina. I regret that I cannot state the exact number of such cases, but that would berjLmpossible to arrive at. I wish the Senator from Maine could see them. If I h&d it in my power to day I do not know any argument that I could present to the country that would be so strong as what I believe would be the unanimous statement of the North ern settlers in' North Carolina In favor of our institutions there, if I may call them so, of wottr habits, of the law-abiding disposition of our people, and of our truth and fidelity to the nation. The answer was complete all the more so since the facts bear out all the statements of the distinguished gentle man. At this stage of ihe debate Mr.! Blaine drew in his horns. He h.'id been answered to his conviction if not to his satisfaction, ami he wisely concluded that there was nothing for him to make by a prolongation! tbe controversy. It may havebeen because he had' to bear the brunt of the fight without aid from his Republican colleagues; it may have been owing to the fact that he was on the wrong side of the Question. Whatever the reason it is quite certain that from first to last throughout the debate which coitfintted sporadically for more than a week over his resolution.

The stomach is strengthened, the liver regulated, the bowels put in proper order, the blood enriched and purified, and the nervous system rendered tranquil and vigorous by this inestimable family medicine and safeguard against disease, which Is, moreover, a most agree able and effective appetlzer and a cordial peculiar ly adapted to the wants of the aged and infirm, delicate females, and convalescing patients. It is besides, immensely popular as an antidote to malaria. What are the Profits t This Is the absorbing point that is of chief inter est In every business transaction.

Profits are dis trlbuted prorata among shareholders every month. In this way large gams are secured In short period, and capital from $10 or $15 to $50,000 can be used with equal proportionate success. $20 will make $100 in 30 days. $150 will pay $1,500 profit, or 10 per cent on the stock, and so on ac cording to the market.
