THE WHITE MAN'S GOYEBN
MENT.
Notwithstanding ilit* mighty efforts
that have been put forth by the radical
party to hold in hand, and control the
government, it is w ith profound grati
tude that the shadow of their depart
ing power is looked upon. The exam
ple of the northern democracy in their
emphatic repudiation ol negro suffrage,
has infused a new hope into the hearts
of men of ail parties in the South so
that* thnt which is denied us in the
halls of national legislation wt may
hope to gain by united effort *t the
baliot-box. Iu efforts to establish a
white man's party in the South, that
will co-operate with the democracy of
the North, iu their endeavor to de
throne radicalism, we are proud to say,
Arkansas is not a whit behind the fore
most. Already she has buckled oil the
armour,and is preparing for the great
political contest, that this coming Fnll
must restore us to honored privileges
or seal us to radicalism witli its perni
cious influences. A Democratic State
Convention is called and throughout
the whole State, counties and town
ships are catching up the cry and send
ing forth one to the other, words of
cheer and expressions of determina
tion. A mighty effort will he made,
must be made for the defeat of the pur
poses of the radical party in Arkansas.
Their energy will be bent to fasteu up
on us negro suffrage with ail the ills
that will Row from it. To thwart them
in this and to vindicate the honor of
our State, those organizations are in
tended. Yet we as a people are not
suffcieutly alive to the responsibility
that devolves upon us. In order to put
forth our whole strength iu Arkansas
against oppression ami wrong, it is
necessary that the people understand
one another and this can only be ac
complished by the means proposed.
Let a State Convention be held and its
determinations endorsed by county
and ratified by townships in organized
meetings; let eveiw citizen be reached
and awakened to his individu it ruspon
eibility in these times of trouble, and
all that we hope for may be obtained
in our State. Nor does the necessity
ft'or a thorough organization of the
masses bolding that this is and should
be u white man's government, stop w ith
these local causes. From the North,
Fast ami West come the evidence that
the great national contest of November
will involve the salvation of (lie coun
try. Would we take a part in our own
delivery from wretchedness, let us be
at work. Let Democrats, Whigs, and i
men of all parties come together upon !
one platform, and resolve to act and
act mightily for the overthrow of the
unprincipled party that now holds the
government in its hands. In the con
tests that are to'come, both State and :
National. We know not what the. par
ticular party doctrines may be, but we
are opposed to negro suffrage unalter
ably, and that party that holds to this
doctrine, and dares declare that, this is
a white man’s government shall meet .
with our'support. People of Arkansas,
let us act with united determination to
defeat prejudice with principle, and He |
who shapes all tilings for the aceotnp- '
lish of His purposes, will give as vic
tory.
Ilerealter the Des Arc Debating
Society w ill hold its regular meetings
at tiie baptist Church.
Tlie Society takes this occasion to re
turn thanks to the members of that
1 Church, for their kindness, in allowing
them the use of the building.

Tonic Syrup!
A rapid and never failing cure for
Fever X Ague, or Chills & Cover.
Every poison baa its antidote—Every
disease has its cure.
It is a known fact that the powerful miner
al medicines so often administered in copious
doses in Intermittent and Billious Remittent
Fevers are as perilous to the constitution as
the fevers themselves, while their operation
is generally slow and upcertain, and their ef
fects evanecsent. Remedies of this class,
hazardioux under any circumstances, cannot
be used with any approach to safety except
under the directions of a physician; and in
the regions where Fever and Ague, Billious
Fever. Chill and Fever, Dumb Ague and rhefr
kindred complaints chiefly prevail, medical
men are sometimes few and far between, and
medical advice almost unobtainable. It is
ol vious, therefore, that a medicine like the
Texan Tonic Syrup, prompt ond cer
tain in ils action as a curative, and equally
to be relied on as a preventive, of these dan
gerous maladies—a preparation as harmless
lo the constitution as water—must be of price
less value iti the valley of the Mississippi, or
wherever eise they ma^ exist.
The common cause of all remittent and
intermittent fevers is the mephitic vapor or
miasma evaporated by beat from the sell, or
from the surface of stagnant water : and it ix
usually when the torrid warmth of summer
has prostrated the system an<| rendered it
incapable of contending energetically with
the disease that the attack comes on. July,
August, September and October are the
months during with all billiou* complaints
ire most common, and uiost violent. Tiw
organs immediately affected by Fever and
Ague, and intermit tents and Remittents, are
the Liver, rite Spleen, the Stomach and Kid
ueys. Upon each and all of these organs, the
ting and controlling the How of bile, preven
ting or relieving that enlargment of the spleen
known as the Ague Cake, strengthening the
ligestive powers and removing those severe
pains of the back which arise from the tor
pidity or iutiumutiou of the Kidneys. Ah its
name indicates, it gives a healthy tout* to the
V'iscere, which perform the secretion. circula
tion, and excretion. Instead of inflicting a
'buck upon the. internal, as mineral medicines
necessarily do, it invigorates and assists
nature and seconds with wonderful efforts
which she makes to throw off the disease It
is not a mere palliative that checks or modi
fies the symptoms for a brief period but a
radictvl remedy that reaches ami removes the
•ause of the disorder.
Of these facts the inventors s>f the Tex<is
ronic Syrup have had innumerable proofs
mil they are prepared to establish them by
he highest testimony; Medical men ot
ickuowledged eminence prescribe J,t in their
private practice, and it is rapidly superceding
ill other preparations of its class throughout

WORM DESTROYER.
To my United States and World*
wide Readers.
I have received many testimonials from
professional and medical men, as my alma
nacs and vagiou« publications have shown,
all of whicharc genuine. The following let
ter from a highly educated and popular phy
sician iu Georgia, is certainly out of the most
sensible communications l have ever received.
Dr. Clement knows exactly what he speaks
of, and hie testimony deserves to be written
in letters of gold. Hear what the DbctoY

Dr. JohsJJcll—Dear Sir: I have recent
ly given your ‘‘Worm Destroyer” several
trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It
has not failed in a tingle instance to havetbe
wished for effee*. I am doing a pretty large
country practice, and have daily use for some
article of the kind. I am free to confess that
I know of no remedy recommended by the
ablest authors that is so cevtaiu and speedy
in its effects. On the contrary they are un
corteain in the extreme. My object in writ*
ing yon is to find upon what terras l can get
the medicine directly from you. If I cau get.
it upon easy terms, I shall use a great de*I of
it. I am aware that the use of such nrndfies
is contrary to the teachings and practice of a
great majority of the regular line of M. D ’s,
but I sec no just cause or good sense in dis
carding a remedy which we know to be effi
cient, simply because we may be ignorant of
its combination. For n;y part, I shall niaVo
it a rule to use all and any means to alleviaie
suffering humanity which I may be- able to
commaud—not hesitating because some one
more ingenious than inyaelf may have learned
its effects first, and secured the scle‘right to
secure that knowledge. However, I am by
no means an advocate or supporter of the
thousands of worthless nostrums tLat flood
the country, |hal purport to cure all manner
of disease to which human flesh is hen*.
Plca-e reply soon, and inform me of your
best terms. I am. sir, most •respectfully.

if short or long standing. He refers to tho

l£td carried out. In a great many cases a
tingle dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
thole families have been cured by a single
iottle. With a perfect restoration of the gen
eral health. It is, however, prudent, and in
>very case more certain to cure, if Its use is
'oatinued in smaller doses for a week or two
tf»er the disease has been checked, more ea
uuually in difficult aud long-standing cases.
L'suallv, this medicine will not require any
till to keep the bowels in good, order j should
ho patient, however, require a out hart i<j
