about five years, which continued to grow
more severe. It is my opinion that one
more turn of it would have closed her
mortal career. She took four bottles of
your Vermifuge, and one box'of Sanative
Pills, and by the blessing of God accom
panying the means, she is cured "of her af
fliction. We had tried all the physicians,
far and near, to noV effect,' until We used
your medicine. We gave the Vermifuge:
to our children for worms, and it had a
good effect. I have taken pains to ssnd to
Erie for your medicines for sometime, and
they have effected so many cures, that we
want you to appoint an agent here,

his friends, disregarding all personal
siderations, and animated solely by the
wish to see our noble principles triumph
in North Carolina, he has stepped forward
to bear our flag: and it is the duty, as we
have no doubt it Will be the pleasure, of
every uemuc.ai iu ucuuu
and to ai" mm in tnc laoorsot me canvass.
Now is the time, above all ethers, to re
deem North Carolina. Her people are
at heart Democratic, and all that is needed
is, such facts and arguments as our friends
have it in their power to present, and such
efforts as are due to a cause which has eve-
ry thing to recommend it to popular favor,
and regard.
We present below the Correspondence
between the Committee and Col. Kckl: ;
Haleigh, April 11. 1S43.
Dear Sir: We have the honor to inform

at the ensuing election. On the part of
that Convention we have to say, that you
are earnestly requested to accept the nom
ination; and to this authorized solicitation
we beg leave to add an expression of the
Ivope that you will consent to be the candi
date of our party. '

we shall struggle for the mastery with
confidence. Strike now for the principles

the triumph you have hoped for, and have

Hon. David S. Rei'V, the Democratic
candidate for Governor of North Carolina,
is, ashrs poViical opponents readily admit,
a "wo: thy rnan;" ' he is a Democrat from
principle; and by nature he entertains those
feelings which prompt every lover of. freer
dom to look upon his fellow-men as enti
tjed tolenjoy equal privileges I under the
laws- which govern all; to have an equal
voice in making those laws; and a due in
fluence in deciding as to who shall be pro
moted to execute the laws.' No republi
can (for we hold thathundreds of the whig
party are aotirrepublicans,: wjiich no man
can doubt who watches them closely,)
need know! more than the fact that Mr.
Reid israDeraocraVahd has always, been a
Democrat; so firm, ? that no ties of kindred
could swerve him: from his devotion to
those principles of government, or induce
him to abandon for 'filth lucre," or, the
smiles of pride and ptjwer, the great end
and aim of Democratic principles.: - L
But if it is required the public should
know more than this, ivp doubt nnt that
Mr. lleid'has so lived and conducteri-him-self,
in .his transactions, of private life, that
he is as -..willing Jo: challenge the scrutiny
of the people in this respect, as he is to in
vite the discussion of the relative claims to
republicanism; of whigs and democrats. If
we are4correctly informed, he has not been
nursed in the lap. of-wealth, nor reared by
thesickly hand cfluxury. He stands forth
thearchitect of his own reputation; a wor
thy" example of what industry and per
severance can accomplish, in a democracy
or a government of the people, where, mer
it, and not wealth and "blood," is the only
qualification necessary to honor and trust.
To that honor and that trust, Mr. ReidSreat an4 cardinal principles which we all
has fairly won his way. The people of
his Congressional district have twice hon
orcd him with one ; of the most important;
trusts of a representative government the
second lime by a largely increased major
ity. . '; .. - ? -; (- : ;..,!
In the Assemblj7 of his native State, he
has shown that he is capable of represent
ing a free people, lie was there well
weighed in the balance, and not found
wanting. Not even the ties of friendship,
relationship, nor self-interest, could make
I him give one vote against the will of those
he was reprefcnling. We refer to that
(session of the Legislature when the Hon.
Robert Stranceand.the Hon. Thomas Set-
tie were candidates for the Senate Of the
United Slates, and the vote of Mr. Reid
lurned lhc SCalc; although Mr. Settle was; j

The Horti John Y. Mason is spoken of
in several Democratic papers as a candidate ;
for the Vice Presidency. Judge Mason"
is' quite popular, and his nomination, we :
doubt not, would be satisfactory to the:
party; but we believe that more eyes are;
directed to Gen. Quitman, as the probable
nomihee, than any other man. Indeed,
should the friends of Messrs. Buchanan
Cass, Houston, Woodbury, and Dallas fail'
to come to some agreement which might
promise harmonious action, we would riot
