Ho! Ho! you're getting bald, are you?
Well, that is a misfortune and not a
crime; but to remain bald, when so fine
an opportunity offers to restore your hair,
by a faithful and liberal use ot Jayne's
Hair Tonic, is but little short of crime.
This valuable preparation excites the scalp
to a new and healthy action, cleanses it
from scurf and dandruff, prevents the hair
from falling off, cures those eruptive disea
ses which often appear on the head, and in
a majority of cases produces a fine growth
of new hair-. It also gives the hair a rich
arid beautiful appearance, unequalled by
any thing of the kind.
"Is this Medicine !r 9
We exclaimed the other day, on tasting
some of Jay tie's Tonic Vermifuge. It
certainly has none of the nauseous flavor,
which one associates with the idea of phy
sic. Children consider it quite a', treat,
and in taking it their palates arc gratified,
and their health restored at the same time.
Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge not only des
troys worms, but carries off the mucus in
which they are imbedded, and effects a ra
dical and permanent cure. Every mother
knows the prominent symptoms of worms,
such as voracity, leanness, fetid breath,
grinding of the teeth during sleep, pale
ness of the lips, itching of the nose, &c;
but there is other indicia not so generally
recognized. A dry cough, dull eyes, en
largement of the abdomen, and many oth
er symptoms common to other diseases,
frequently denote the presence of worms.
If their existence is.even suspected, the
Vermifuge should be administered, be
cause it can do no harm in any case, and
may do incalculable good.
Prepared only by Dr. D. Jayne, Phil
adelphia, and sold on agency by

most sanguine spirit, but with the sober vc present his name to our Democrat- t,en f nd untoward end, has been a source of
and reflecting portion of the people who!u
have been heretofore classed as whigs. In
every county in which he has pressed and
advocated the question of Equal Suffrage,
he has met with the most enthusiastic con
gratulations of his friends and the com
mendations of all for the gallant manner in
which he bears aloft the democratic ban

i .
We learn that Mr. Reid addressed the!cause and bright skies, and surely it will j
cy, in the advocacy of . democratic princi
pies he made a most favorable impression
upon all present. We also learn that he
has proceeded oti to, meet; his other ap
pointments and .that he will reach Louis
burg in liniQ to address his fellow citizens
of Franklin on the 1st day of June; after
which we prestrme- arrangements will be
made at an early period for ' meeting and
addressing the -people of Wake at Ra

which due; notice will be - given. We are
happy to hear that Mr. Reid has greatly

that will ere lohg lead the democracy to
success and victory. f
- The CqnvasslWe understand our de
mocratic .candidate f lor Governor hasr vig
orously entered on the canvass. ' He met
Mr. Manly '(the- inimitable Charley) at
Waynesbofough, oh Monday last; and we
are told by a gentleman who was present,
and Jteard tne discussion which occupied
the entire afternoon of that day, that whig-
gery and its embodiment was properly
?,UP to merited reprobation. As we
have no doubt, however, the whig journals
will have quite a different account of this
rhattfejywe are willing the result in Wayne
snould be told in August next. .:.
" While on this subject; we will assure
our friends in oilier parts of the State, that
the most favorable impression exists in
behalf of Mr. Reidi in this section of Ithe
State'and it is our belief that he will re
ceive a much larger vote than any demo
cratic candidate did in this district be
fore.' 'j..? Vj ; .
With others, we have conversed with
some whigs who say they believe a defeat
of their party will be productive of good
to the State. ' They admit their enterpri
zing men ha ve no Influence, and that their
party is in the leading strings of an aris
tocracy which is opposed to ev'ery thing
liberal, as evinced by our unequal and op
pressive laws. With these views, they go
for a change, believing that It will result
in good to our people and the State. And
we confess we believe those opinions are
based on sound logic and we say 'change
too, and vote'.for David S. Reid, and we
assure our whig friends who do it, that
they will not only evince independence
but they will do much to redeem our
State from the Rip Van Winkle doze, of
which we have been accused. ? We have
nothing to hope from the present dynasty
in power, and we say turn them out and
put in those who will pursue a different
policy. Wilmington Gaz.

of North Carolina labput the weakest can

such a character as not only.to exasperate

a large number of their own party. Their
treatment f the ; gallant spirits who com

is enough. to damn any partem thc'eyes
