Sept. 6, 1855 : " During my practice of many years I have f. .mid
nothing equal to your Ciiekki Pktoual for Riving ea?e and re
lief to consumptive patients, or curing such as are curable.''
We might add volumes of evidence, but the most com im-in
proof of the virtues of this remedy is found ;n its elici ts upou
trial.
Consumption.
Probably no one remedy has ever been known which cured o
many and Buch dangerous cases as this. Some no human aid
can reach ; but even to those the Cherrt Pectoral affords re
lief and comfort.
Astor IIocse. Sew York Citt, March 5,
Doctor Aver, Lowell: I feel it a duty and a pleasure to in
form you what your Cherry Pectoral had done for my wifn.
She had been five months laboring under the dangerous Kyniji
toms of Consumption, from which no aid we could procure f:ae
her much relief. She was steadily tailing, until Dr. Strong, of
this city, where we have come for advice, recommended a trial
of your medicine. We bless his kindness, as we do your skill,
for she has recovered from that day. She is not yet as strong r
she used to be. but is free from her cough, and calls herself well.
Yours, with gratitude ami retrard.
OltLAXDO SHELBY, of Sheliitvillz,
Onsumptirm, do not despair till you have tried A ver's Citet;ry
Pectokal. It is made by one of the best medical chemists in the
world, and its cures all round us bespeak the high merits of it
virtues. Philadelphia Ledger.
Ayer's Cathartic Pills.
rpiIE sciences of Chemistry and Medicine have been taxed
1 their utmost to produce this best, most perfect purgative
which is known to man. Innumerable proofs are shown that
these Pills have virtues w hich surpass in excellence the ordina
ry medicines, and that they win unprecedcntedly upon the esteem
of all men. They are safe and pleasant to take, but powerful to
cure. Their penetrating properties stimulate the vital activities
of the body, remove the obstructions of its organs, purify the
blood, and expel disease. They purge out the foul hrrmors which
breed and grow distemper, stimulate sluggish or disordered or
gans into their natural action, and impart healthy tone with
strength to the whole system. Xot only do they cure the every
day complaints of every body, but also formidable and danger
ous diseases that have battled the best of human skill. While
they produce powerful effects, they are, at the same time, in di
minished doses, the safest and beat physic that can I employed
for children. Being sugar-coated, they are pleasant to t;ike;
and being purely vegetable, are free from any risk of harm.
Cures have been made which surpass belief were they not su!
Ftantiated by men of such exalted position and character as to
forbid the suspicion of untruth. Many eminent clergymen and
physicians have, lent their names to certify to the public tiie re
liability of my remedies, while others have sent me the assur
ance of their conviction that my Preparations contribute im
mensely to the relief of my afflicted, suffering fcllow-iutii.
The Agent below named is pleased tofurni.-.h gratis my Amer
ican Almanac, containing directions for their use, an J cert ifi
cates of their cures of the following complaints:
Costiveness, Bilious Complaints. Itheumatism, Prepay, ITenr
burn, Headache arising from a foul Stomach, Xnusra. Indiges
tion, Morbid Inaction of the Bowels.and Pain arising therein m,
l latulcncv, Loss of Appetite, all Ulcerous ami Cutaneous Dis
eases which require an evacuant Medicine, Scrofula or King's
Evil. They also, by purifying the blood and stimulating the sys
tem, cure many complaints which it would not be supiiosed they
vuld reach, such as Deafness. Partial Blindness, Xenrnlgia and
Nervous Irritability, Derangements of the Liver and Kidneys,
Gout, and other kindred complaints arising from a low state of
the body or obstruction of its functions.
Do not be put off bv unprincipled dealers with some other pUI
they make more profit on. Ask for Ayer's Pills, and take noth
ing else. No ether they can give yon compares niih this in its
intrinsic value or enrativp powers. The sick want the b-jst aid
tere is for them, and they sliould have it.

Our Difficulty with England.
One of the strangest things in the world is tliat
two nations like the U. States and Great Britain
sliould be continually growling at each other,
never content with what we have, but like the
horse leach we are trying give, give !" This trait
of the American character is not a little indulged
in by our cousin over the water, and it appears that
at this time the John Dulls are a little grasping
and wish to appropriate more than is their own.
The Island of San Juan is the bone of contention
at present. It is mi Island ome fifteen miles
! long by eeven wide. It e4twtl ' tuetwcn the
Straits of Rosario and the Canal do Haro is claimed
by Washington Territory as a portion of Yatcom
county. The British also claim it as belonging to
the crown.
According to the treaty of '40, it is most evi
dent that this was acknowledged to be the property
of the United Stat ss.
The treaty of June 13, 1846, stipulates as follows :
Article 1. "From the point of the fortv-nintlvpara
11 el of north latitude, where the boundary laid down
in existing treaties and conventions between Great
Rritan and the United States terminates, the line of
boundary between the territories of her Britannic
Majesty and those of the United Stales shall be con
tinued westward along the 49th parallel of north
latitude to the middle of the channel which separa
tes the continent from Vancouver's Island: and
thence southerly through the middle of the said
channel and of Fuca Straits to the Pacific ocean :
Provided, however, that the navigation of the said
channel and straits south of the forty-ninth parallel
of north latitude remain free and open to both par
ties. There are two channels between the continent
and Vancouver's Island, both of which lead into the
Straits of Fuca. There are the Straits of ltosario
and the Canal de Faro, the latter of which is near
est to Vancouver's Island and is the recognized
channel, stipulated in the treaty, for two reasons.
1st, it is really the only channel, being the widest
and deepest; and 2ud, it is nearest to Vancouver's
Island the property which it was thi desire of
Britain to secure at the time the treaty was made.
Besides, at that time there were no British sub
jects upon any Island save Vancouver's, and that
only, upon the extreme Southern enu of the Island.
In the treaty there is no island mentioned except
Vancouvers', as being the property of Great Britain.
And we may safely infer that the islands nearest
the continent belong to the continent, except words
to the contrary were used.
The island is one of great importance to the Uni
ted States, from its near proximity to our posseas-
bors upon it and two othrW i .r.nn T.nnez island very
close to it. It is also a most important fishing sta
tion and bids fair to be a valuable j'iece.of property
to AVashington when it becomes a state.
Lately the British government has begun to for
tify Vancouver's island, and the ltussian Govern
ment has taken the precaution to attend to their
possessions in that latitude in the same way. While
we are willing to concede what is rightfully theirs,
we ought and no doubt will demand and enforce
our own rights at all hazards.
Gen. Harney has taken possession of the place
and the British Government has dono the same.
What the result will be we know not.
The African Slave Trade !
The administration cannot be too highly
commended for the efficient and early steps
it has taken to suppress the African Slave
Trade. In this as well as in nearly all other
instances, is demonstrated most satisfactorily,
to the people of the Nation, the efficiency, abil
ity, and excellent management of those whose
province and duty it is to administer the laws
of the land. According to the joint treaty,
with England, the United States is required,
to place a force of Eighty guns, on the Afri
can Coast ; the administration, however, has
increased the number of Guns to one hundred
and sixteen.
Secretary Toucey, has ordered the following
squadron, with efficient officers to each vessel,
to the coast of Africa, The Steamers San
Jacinto, Mystic, Sumpter, Mohican, and the
Sloops of War Constellation, Portsmouth
Marion and Vincenncs. The Constellation is
the flag ship.
On our own coast the steamers Crusader,
Lieut. Maflit, t lie Mohawk, Lieut, Craven ;
Wyandotte, Lieut. Stanly ; and Fulton. Com.
G.G. Williamson. These Vessels are intended
also to cruise upou the Cuban shore in order
to detect any Slavers which might elude the
vigileuce of the Naval force on the African
coast. They are of much ligter draft than
those formerly employed by us ; hence they
will be the better prepared to chase vessels in
this lawless business in shallow water.

The Charlotte Bulletin Its Democracy.
W have watched with no'little interest the long
and tedious examination of our cotemporary, by
the political M. D's., and we find that according to
its own statement of the extent and nature of it
malady it is really in a critical condition. It is
kind of democratic, kind of whig, and kind of
neutral ; but a little m ro democratic than anything
else. To show its various positions we will quote
from it :
" Bui, through respect to tho head of the leader
of the Democratic Press in North Carolina, wo
answer: We are Demoorats and always have
been, the Senior dating back bis association with
the Democracy twouty-eight yeara."
That's democratic with one exception, viz :
" the leader of the democratic press," (Standard).
Tho Standard is not tho leader of the Democratic
Press in North Carolina. It is the central organ.
We. t one, know no leader but the principles of
the parly. BnUwe copy again : ' '
" Being Democrats we expect to cooperate with
the party by voting for its nominee if he or they
are sound and reliable men."
The first portion of this sentence is democratic ;
the other pardon us friends Bulletin, if we say it
is arrogance. By this an Editor of a paper
i sets himself up as a judge, whoso judgment is to
be relied upon more than the united wisdom of a
convention of gentlemen, it assumes that the Edi
tor or Editors of a political paper know more than
say fifty men ! Why, such a course of conduct
is nothing less than anarchy one man power tho
very opposite oidemocraey.
The Bulletin says : " Yet, we will exercise the
riirht to canvass the claims and nualihcatiou ot
all who seek office or may be brought forward for
position."
That's neither democratic nor whig !
The following is the only portion of the Bulletin's
article which we consider democratic ; but this
portion alone is excellent, read it :
" We will defend and aid to sustain the Democ
racy when they adhere to the principles of Democ
racy as expounded by its fathers ; but rebuko
those who by a temporising process lose sight of
the paramount duties of the party Let tho De
mocracy go forward aud do their duty and we will
cheerfully render them our support ; otherwise, wo
will expose their follies and endeavor to reform,
them. Is the indard satisfied ?"
A Suggestion.
Now that the Merchants of our town and vi
cinity, have commenced receiving their Fall and
Winter stocks, we think a little wholesome ad
vice on the subject of Advertising, would be
bv no means amiss. The value of Printers
Ink cannot be questioned by those who have
tried the experiment of Advertising. Our col
umns are ample testimonials, of the fact that
Vo cc- t til cd ii uiuuj vWir ov.tf our
Merchants are very liberal indeed. Those who
advertise are our largest Merchants, xie rea
son is palpable to those who convass the
merits of the subject. Many poor men have
become princely merchants in this way, and it
is reasonable to suppose whatever has been
done, may act as a criterien for the future. A
gentleman just commencing in business told us
sometime since that he intended to spend two
hundred and fifty dollars, during each year, for
Printers Ink. The consequence is, and it has
not been many months since he spoke to us on
the subject, he sells more goods in his line, thnn
any other merchant engaged in a similar bnsi"
uess in this place. These instances are innumer
able ; we can recollect many, even in our own
community. Try its friends and our word for it
your business will increase, much more rapidly,
than you imagine.
Advertise liberally. It is the secret of suc
cess to all, it matters net what their business
may be.
Excursion.
On Saturday evening last a number of our citi
zens and others took passage on the Western Rail
Hood to Spout Springs, about twenty miles from
town. The evening was fine and there was just
sufficient number of passengers along to render tho
trip a pleasant and agreeable one. The track
from Little River to r ayetteville is in very excellent
order ; indeed, it is so on the whole line of the road,
except in a few occasional places which have not
been worked upon recently. At Spout Springs a
waier station anu warenouse are oeing erectcu. e
learn also that Messrs D. Murchison & Son, intend
building a store and filling it with goods at an early
date. There are some deep cuts to bo made just
above this place before the track laying can be re
sumed again. When these are finished, between
four and five miles of track can be laid forthwith.
It is supposed they will reach the twenty -four mile
post by Christmas.
Bridge Fallen. Weregret to learn that tho
Bridge ovei Little River at Manchester, twclvo
miles west of this place, broke in two on Sunday
evening at 8 o'clock. A wagon belonging to Abner
Coletrain, Esq., of Randolph, was crossing it at tho
time. The driver, a negro, was seriously if not
fatally injured, three horses killed and tho entiro
load, sixteen barrels of flour, thrown into the river.
Another bridge, we understand, will be built imme
diately. It should be done forthwith as a very
large amount of country produce comes into town
in that direction, and our country friends will, ia
all probability, delay bringing it in until the bridgo
is built again.
Washington National, Monument. A con
tribution box is at the Post office where those who
wish to contribute towards the completion of this
monument can do so. Similar boxes have been
placed at various Post offices in the United States.
In some places large contributions have ljeeu
made, in others nothing has been received.
Another Mass Meeting for the Blue Bidge
Railkoal. We see by the Franklin, N. C, Ob
server, that there- will bo a public barbecue given
at Franklin, on Friday, the 23d of this month, by
the friends of the Blue Ridge Railroad. Tho
committee promise their friends in Georgia, South
Carolina, and the adjoining counties, a cordial re
ception and a hospitable entertainment.
