It is a Mineral 1'aint, which, when applied to a ISuilding,
and exposed to the action of the atmosphere, forms a coat of
slate or stone, rendering the Building perfectly fire and wcath
er proof. The attention of Distillers, Mill Owners, Railroad
Companies, steamboat Proprietors, and 1'lanters, is particu-1
larly called to this substance. It adheres with the utmost te
nacity, to the substance to which it 13 applied, never cleans
off, and onei applied, it is applied for ever. It is much pre
ferable to tin or zine, for covering roofs, makes them perfect
ly water tight. When applied to brick or stone buildings, it
excludes the dampness ot the external atmosphere, making
such buildings more healthy. For a more particular explana
tion of its Chemical properties, see Circulars. 100 lbs. will
cover 1000 superficial feet. Wholesale price, 4 cents per lb.,
retail 5 cents; this is about half the price of White Lead.

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth and
professional acquirements, will compare favorably with the
most distinguished in our country. The medical faculty con
stitutes an anomaly in this or any other country all of them
are able lecturers and the best of teachers.
Those who will contemplate our geographical position, and
the extent of our population, can have no doubt as to the eli
gibility of our situation for an enterprise of the kind. As to
health, including all seasons of the year, we deny that any

The first class of the Law and Medical Departments of this
Institute were small, but the gentlemen composing them are
talented and in the highest degree respectable a favorable
omen for the future prospurity of the Institute. .
That the public may be satisfied of the permanency of this
school, wc feel it our duty to state, that the Trustees and
Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs well for its fu
ture success ; and that the pec uliar internal organization
which connects them, cannot be interrupted.

As citizens of the old North State, every individual is bound
to support its name, as well as its claims, in this great con

Kt Uonjfunin Franklin, be yet ranked among the noblest of
our race, and as we arc not aware of how or where the scion
may be found amongst us, let us philanthropically lay the
means of education upon the broad basis of " goodly numbers
at low rates, and make sure of imparting the elements ot
sound useful intellectual culture.
We conclude the above appeal to the honor, patriotism,
and philanthropy of our fellow-citizens of the surrounding

Fellow. Citizens of New-Hanover Count?:
Gentlemen At the approaching August election, it isyouf
province to select an officer to net in the capacity of herifi
'Ibis is an early period, as I conceive, to agitate this election,
although there is quite a numbor of candidates in the field,
and more expected. The county is notified that a Conven'
tion will be held during the term of our next County Court,
for the purpose of nominating County candidates; and as 1
conceive all candidates who presume to announce for the
Sheriffalty before that convention goes into session, says t
that Convention, that they w ill not abide its action ; I con
ceive that it is soon enough to aver what we will do when wo
sec what action that body takes of the different offices of tho
county. I am, perhaps, as anxious to be possessed of tlm
Sheriff's office as any candidate announced, but think it un
advisable to make the announcement at the present. If I
should think it advisable to announce myself to yon after the
meeting of the Convention, and the result of the election
should go iu my favor, my motto shall be, to do justice to
the office and to the people, and will ever feel grateful fortius
confidence reposed, and willing to reciprocate the favor as far
as may be honorable.
I conceive it incumbent on every voter, before t lie election,
to obtain information from reliable authority, who of tho
candidates is most deserving and capable and best qualified,
in every respect, to take charge of tho office. These are en
quiries, as I conceive, that every voter should make, before
going to the polls of election, and then let his influence and
suffrage be governed accordingly.
Gentlemen, I conceive it unnecessary to say more to yod ;
there is nothing that I could say, as I know of, that would in
sinuate me in 3-our favour. All, or the most of you, are inti
mately acquainted with me. It is for you to say whether I
am capable and well qualified to fill the office, or not whe
ther I am tiranical and oppressive, or lenient and accommo
dating in business transactions. That portion of the elector's
that may not be acquainted with me, or know but lit t tie a
bout nie, I would respectfully requost that they would call oil
my friends iu Wilmington, and on gentlemen from my ova
district of the county.
Very respectfully, your fellow-citizen,

Gentlemen Through the solicitations of a number of my
friends, I again appear before you as a candida te for tho office
of Sheriff of your County ; and in doing so, I deem it proper1
to make a few remarks relative to the position I now occupy
before you. Fome time ago, I told a number of my friends
that I would not again be a candidate for the office. But
since making those declarations, I have been placed in differ-'
ent circumstances, through the interposition of an all-wiso
and unerring Providence. I believe by my making those dec
larations, it induced a majority, if not all of those whose"
names are before you to become candidates for the office
In appearing before you again ns a candidate, I havo no"
pledges to make, only that I will endeavor to discharge tho
duties of the office to the best of my abilities, should a major-
ity of my fellow-citizens think it proper to give me their
votes.

Dr. J. C. Ayer, Lowell Dear Sir: Feeling under obliga- p
tions to you for the restoration of mv health, I send you a re
port of my case, which you are at liberty to-peMnth for tho
benefit of others. Last autumn I took a bad eold, accompa
nied by a severe cough, and made use of many medicine
without obtaining relief. I was obliged to give up botfrn'ess,
frequently raised blood, and could get no sleep at night. A
friend gave me a bottle of your Chkrry PkctoRal, tb user
of which I immediately commenced, according to directions.
I have just purchased the fifth bottle, and am nearly recover
ed. 1 now sleep well, my cough has ceased, and all by the uo'
of your valuable medicine. E. A. STONE, A. M., . i

Dr. J. C. Ayer Dear Sir : Enclosed please find rcim'tfanc
for all the Chkrry Pkctoral last sent me. I can uhhesita-r
tinglv say that no medicine we sell gives sacfc sa-tistaetion as1
yolir s docs ; nor have I ever seen a niedisine which eared sr
many cases of Cough and Lung Complaints. Our PfcysScianrf
are using it extensively in their practke, and with the hap
piest effects. Truly yours, 1?. M. BRYANT.
