OCR TICKET.
fho nominees of the late Democratic
Convention—for the two highest offices !
in the nation—are to us particularly
acceptable. Molding as wedo to sound
Democratic principles, and believing I
in the ability of the Democratic party
to rescue and save our country from !
national disgrace, wo cannot do other
wise than rejoice that the wisdom of
the party lias put forward so strong a
ticket ns the one which stands at the
head of our column to-day. In these
men we have confidence, their ability
is universally admitted, and there is
aoiie so bold or so wanting in appre
ciation, as to deny to them the very
highest order of statesmanship. Meas
ured in whatever sphere you choose to
take them, their superiority over the 1
Radical candidates—Grant and Colfax
is too plain to be overlooked by the
masses of the honest voters of the
country. Looking fairly into the wants
of the country, regardless of party or
prejudice, with a desire to do that fori
his country which will most conduce1
to liis country's good, no man can fail
to perceive the eminent qualifications j
of Horatio Seymour, for the highest 1
place in the gift of the people. A 1
statesman now, a statesman always;
understanding perhaps, better than j
any other man on the continent, the
policy of government, with the entire j
confidence of iMe true Democracy of
tlie nation, lie is peculiarly adapted to
these times of emergency. Aside from j
politics, we need at this time at the ,
head of the government, a man com
bining the goodness of Washington
and the wisdom of Jefferson, with the
firmness and determination of Jackson :
a man whose wisdom and experience
■. in lake hold upon the issues of the
day, and out of the great political chaos j
which now rules, bring the order we
so much desire. In our hufnble judg
ment, Gov. Seymour meets well and
fully every want of the American peo
ple ; not Unit lie is a Democrat, "though |
this is indeed a great qualification,”
out because ot lus purity, consistency ;
..ml ability. Nominated unanimously
"by the wisest body of men assembled |
on the continent for years ; not because j
lie sought the place, hut because the i
place sought him ; we cannot but hold :
him up and urge Ids support. Gen. |
Grant we will honestly eav is entitled
to respect us a man, and can lay some
claim to military genius; but where is
Ids political experience? where his
statesmanship? where nre ids qualifi
cations for tlie important office ids
party desire to confer upon him? In
these particulars how great is Seymour
and how small is Grant? In polities
where we ash, stands Gen. Grant? lie
is (lie representative of a party that
lias never givcu to the country uught
hut financial embarrassment and politi- ;
cal strife. He is upon a platform that
contains no nationality; a platform
that favors one section of tho country
and proscribes the other; a platform
that lias in it no generous feature, no
hope for the government! Kor this
reason, and because our candidate is a 1
representative ol' that party that gave
to our tuuutrv all her past glory, we
claim that he is the man to redeem her
from her present shame. Let the peo
ple of Arkansas weigh the qualifica
tions of these men, and wo feel satis
fied that if judgment is allowed to rule, j
our ticket will triumph.
gr£" There a certain class of would
>0 politicians who infest town ami
country, ami who arc ever changing
from one side to the oilier. They are
Invariably of that species who never
possess more than one idea at a time.
Their principal aim is to lie found with
the successful party, so that If there is
any offices to be given gway they will
come in for a share of the spoils for
their fealty. If it so happens that the
party they belong to at the time is not
in power, or does net seem to be in .1
fair way to get the 'ascendancy, they
immediately east about for some Issue
that they can bring their one-idea ur
gnmeut te bear against, or in ease they
do -not find such hii issue, they prefei
a tong catalogue of charges against t
candidate or nominee for office am
base their opposition upon his past po
litical course. As soon as they havi
got their cue they seek the street cor
tiers and commence the ventilation o
tlicir newly hatched idea, and are otily
too glad if they cau find some win
will dispute with them the positior
they have taken. They arc eager t(
be read out of one and into the othei
party, and they never cease to rant
and foam, and beat the air until theii
object is accomplished. They thcr
move on in their regular course nnti
the election day is over, when, if theii
ticket wins, they felicitate thcmselvei
upon their prudence and foresight ani
the claims they have upon the party
Now wc do not wish it to be under
stood that we attach a great deal o
importance to the opinions of thesi
changelings when wc say that they d<
exert an influence to a certain dogrci
in preventing the complete unity o
action and organization of party. A1
who are anything like conversant, witl
everything is dependent upon parti
discipline. Every patriotic citizen wil
seek that party which proposes th<
greatest amount of good to the grealcs
number and support its principles ai
orthodox. As tiiere is nothing per
feet it may well bo admitted that thi
Democratic party is not infallible ; but
when it is opposing the majority o
the action of the one now dominan
and inflicting its misrule upon tin
people, does it 6ccm the wisest am
best for them to give it their entire
support without regard to any little
short comings they may discern. B)
turning a deaf car to these little fault
finders who make a cloud from a Heck
and convert the vain glory of a man
into more virtue than the principles 01
of a great party, we will give perma
nency to our free institutions and ren
der our form of government once
more respectable at homo and abroad.

* A I.ive Issue.
‘•The negro question,” the Radicals tel
us, ‘‘is a dead issue—no longer legiti
mately within the domain of politics—
and that heuce, the Democracy, in pro
jecting that issue into the I’residcntal cice
tion, are but beating the air,” etc., etc.
Lot no man be deceived by that sub
terfuge. The real question with the
Northern, and Western, and Eastern peo
ple. to day, is whether the ignorant ami
half civilized negro shall now come upon
the stage, to help make laws for us ami
our children.
True, the negro is not yet in the Senate
nor Home of Representatives ; but, a;
tilings are going, tie soon will be there
The carpet-baggers whom lie has sent ti
Washington are his carpet-baggers, elected
by bis influence and his votes, but when
the next elec:ion comes around (if the
Radicals control the Federal administra
tion,) depend upon it, the negro himsell
will throw these carpet-baggers aside auc
send to Washington men and brethren o:
his own (that is, the negro’s) complexion
We repeat it over and over again,—
that is the sure drift of things, and noth
ing on earth can prevent it, save a sweep
ing Democratic victory all ovei the coun
try next autumn.
The outposts of the government, i
must be remembered, so far as the mili
tary mouarchies are concerned, have al
ready capitulated to the African. Ir
Louisiana they have a negro for Lieu
tenant Governor, with many of thejuino:
offices tilled with incumbents of the saim
class.
The negroes and Radicals there exclude
nearly half the members of the Legisla
lute because they decline to take any oatl
save the one presented by the State Con
stitutious At this crisis, Gen. Grant'
(U. S.) soldiers surround the State House
and rc-instatc the members thus cast out
—hereby affording us, a practical ex
cuiplification of what negro—or mi::-.-1
negro -and-mean-white—civil governuien
really is.
Now that Lind of “government may be
in accordance with the Radieal-Graut Col
tax notions of what is constitutional, am
right and proper,—but it is nevertheless

in view,—that the real question to bt

whether Negroes, whom the Radicals havi

Oil tire evening of the 15tl> a riot
commenced at Miliiean, on Central II.
1U in which a mob of about twenty -
five negroes, tied by a white negro
scliool teacher, and a preacher named :
I’.rooks, attempted to hang a man nam
ed \\rm. Holliday. The white citizens,
headed by tho sherlffnnd bureau agent,
prevented the execution, and attempt
ed to suppress the mob, which resulted
in the death of ten or twelve negroes. |
On the Kith both parties had largely
reinforced, and the skirmishing con
tinued throughout the day. The casu
alties were estimated at twenty-five.
A body of troops arrived on the field
last night and dispersed the rioters—
killing throe more oftlic negroes, who
. numbering from three to five hundred
had fortified themselves three miles
from Mill lean, and refused to lay dowu
their arms until the troops dispersed
them. The entire loss is between fifty
[ and sixty. The difficulty, it is said,
arose on suspicion that a negro mom
| her of tho loyal league had been hung,
but who has since been found.

Tliailtleus Stevens’ New Im
peachment Articles.
The following arc the new and ad
ditional articles ol'inipeachuient against
Andrew Johnson, prepared by Hon.
. Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania,
and by him presented to the House of
■ Representatives:
Whereas, A high court of impeach
ment has lately been in session to* try
Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States, for high crimes and
misdemeanors, and has adjourned
without completing its judgment; and
whereas, it is proper that additional
articles should be filed, if the House
deems it expedient; therefore,
1,esolved, That a committee of-j
'! be appointed to prepare additional ar
ticles of impeachment, aud report the
| same, in substance as follows:
1 Additional Articles of Impeachment
I exhibited by the House of Reprcsen
I tatives, in the name of themselves
j aud of all the people of the United
States against Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States, in
i nmintainanee and support of their
impeachment against him for high
crimes and misdemeanors ill office.
First Additional Article.—That
the said Andrew Johnson, President
of the United States, did abuse the pat
' roiiage of the Government, which, by
virtue of his high office, hail been en
j trusted to him, and did pervert it to
I improper and seilish purpose.1, inas
much as lie used it to corrupt the peo
ple of ttie United States, and to induce
, them to abandon and renounce tlie
principles Which they conscientiously
held, and to adopt others which they
did not approve, in order to promote
the selfish purposes of the said An
drew Johnson. The President of the
United Slates came into power mid re
ceived his office because lie professed
to hold the principles of the Jtepubli
: can party, and zealously avowed his
determination to carry them into cf
j feet. When lie came into power, lie
i found the offices of the Government,
many thousand in number, tilled with
'■ men professing the same Republican
| principles, and who baud been ap
pointed expressly to carry them into
effect. When, by a fatal accident, lie
became the Chief Executive of the na
| tion. he determined to seek an election ;
for the saine office at the next Prosi
j dentin! term. He foresaw that it
would become necessary to renounce
the principles of the liepublican party,
and to establish' a new personal party
especially devoted to himself, and ho
did not hesitate to apply to that object
the profits of thousands of offices, and
millions of revenue. He set deliber
ately about turning faithful officers out
of their places, because they would
not renounce thoir principles, and of
appointing others to office because
they pledged themselves to support
; him aud his principles. The removals
and appointments were avowedly
made for no cause of merit or demerit,
‘ hut for the purpose of adding recruits
to his new p • rty.
Second Additional Article.—That
the said Andrew Johnson being tlie
chief Executive of the United States,
and being assigned by law to the du
ties to lako care that ihe laws shall be
faithfully executed, and having no ju- !
dicial or legislative power confided to
him by the Constitution, all his duties
being strictly executive, did, on the
2'Jtli day of -May, lf>05, aud before and
after that time, usurp to himself the
• powers of another branch of tlie Gov
ernment, aud did do acts and exercise
fuuoliuus which belonged to the legis
lative branch alone ; and in pursuance
ciidIi olniih IwirSnrr u ♦ tint limn
I army and navy of the United States at
Itis command, did establish and cruet
I into a separate government that por
tion of the United States from the late
| ly so-called Confederate States of
i America, and which was lately em
braced within the boundaries of the
■ State of North Carolina, and did by
his own usurped authority create a
SUite and form of government hitherto
unknown to our constitution, and ap
pointed thereto an officer whom lie
I called Provisional Governor, uud di
! rented him how to construct and curry
| out said government, lie fixed, and
j by ids own will decreed the qualiflea
| tions of electors, and who should he
eligible to office in the new govern-'
meat, which lie by proclamation do
! dared u as deprived of all civil govern- j
ment by the armed forces of the inde
pendent belligerents with wham wc
had been at war; and he appointed,
, IV. W. Holden to the office of Provis
ional Governor of North Carolina, and
directed him to administer the offices
of the newly-created State.
On the 13th of June, 1S65,he usurped
the same powers, and without any di
' lection from Congress, to whom alone
it belonged, erected into an indepen
dent State that part of conquered
| territory formerly known ns the State
[ of Mississippi, and appointed Wm. L.
j Sharkey, Provisional Governor thereof.
And on the 17th of June, lv>>5, he in
like maqjier creeled a portion of said
! territory into what he called the State
, of Georgia, and appointed James John- j
I son Provisional Governor thereof. On
or about the 17th, til.-t and lilt of June,
and the 13th of July, he in like manner
created government* which lie called I
the States of Texas, South Carolina and
Flordia. And when afterward Con
gress declared eu$h governments and
constitutions null and void, and pre
scribed other met beds of govcrnitig
said territory; and to concede'it to
enter the Union by the consent of Con
gress, the President declared such iawsj
null and void, anil advised the people
to resist their execution ; and Tie ha*
never aided in carrying into effect, hut
lias resisted what arc called tlie “recon
struction laws.’’
Third Additional Article.—For
that A n drew Johnson, President of I lie
United States, by his corrupt practices,
did attempt to induce tlie Senator
elect from the State of Colorado to
perjure themselves upon the condition
of his signing the bill admitting Colo
rado inio the Union as a Slate, and
thereby admitting them as Senators of
the United States.
He did also pardon and restore the
rieht ot franchise to 1911 deserters, who.
during the war, deserted from the
United States army, upon condition
that they would vote for the Demo
cratic party at the then immediately
ensuing election ; that they did thus
vote, and gave to the Democratic agent,
Hon. Thomas B. Florence, the sum of
$1,000 in cash.
lie appointed numerous persons to
office who could not take the test oath,
and did not take it, but were allowed
to act and discharge the functions
thereof in defiance of law.
lie ordered agricultural scrip to be
issued to the State of North Carolina,
which scrip was issued under the act
of 1802, when North Carolina was in
armed warfare against the Union.
He restored, without authority of
law, large tracts of forfeited property;
enough, it is believed, to pay the na
tional debt, which had been forfeited
tinder act of Congress, approved July
17, 1802. By reason of all which out
rages this Government became impov
erished, the people embarrassed, the
rebel raiders allowed to flourish, and
the Constitution flagrantly violated.
He sokl pardons tor money, or allowed
it to be done by pardon-brokers.
Fourth Additional Article.—lie
did take from tbo Treasury of the
United States large tracts of land and
large amounts of money, sufficient, it
is believed, to have paid our national
debts, and which bad been transferred
to tbo United States by act of July 17,
18G2, as enemies’property, to be applied
to tbo expenses of the war, and the
debts of tho United States. This was
corruptly and unlawfully done, with
out any authority of Congress.
Fifth Additional Article.—He did
usurp the powers of other branches of
tbo Government and exercise the leg
islative power in defiance of tho Con
stitution, In creating or attempting to
create new governments out of the ter
ritory conquered from the ‘'Confeder
ate States of America,” so-called, and
to govern them by his own more pow
er, by form unknown to the Constitu
tion, without consulting Congress, but
defying their authority when they had
spoken, and denying tbo constitution
ality of the laws of Congress enacted
to govern said conquered territory.
dsyTlie Arkansas State Gazette of
the 1 till inst says: The following bill
passed tire house on Friday. The vote
upon it is appended, and will probably
settle the position of its supporters
among white men for all time to come.

Catpel-Uuft Legislators,
According to the sn-i idled “recon
struction'' of Congress, twenty Sena
tors and fifty Representatives will bo
added to the dominant faojion, which
.had been previoii-iy strengthened by
tho admission of States like Nebraska
and Nevada, without Ordinary popula
tion. and oulv for the purpose of secur
ing the necessary two-thirds vote to
overcome the veto of the President.
These two States were literally manu
factured to order, and rushed in with
out decency or right, as is now pro
posed to be done witli Colorado, and
without even allowing the people to
pass upon the constitution. What
cares Jiadicalism for State constitu
tions, wheu it tramples under foot the
eupremu law of the land, aud, admits
that all its legislation is “outside” that
instrument ?
The majority of the fabricated Sena
tors and members from the “reconstruc
ted” Slates represent no part of the
population. They are adventurers at
tached to the army and Freed man's
Bureau, who went to the South to prey
upon the misfortunes of that aflljcted
people, and to profit by the disorder
which their presence helped to create.
They do not represent the poor ne
groes, who were- driven to the polls
like herds of cattle, and with about as
much appreciation of the elective fran
chise as the beasts of the forest. They
do not even claim to speak for the
white people, amongst whom nine out
of ten of them will never dare to show
their faces again as soon as llio military
despotism and corrupt Frcedmcn’s
Bureau are withdrawn, which are the
only props of their infamous political
existence.
This is the sort of representation
which has been made up for the South.
To compare it with the old rotton bor
ough system of England is to compare
a satyr with Hyperion. With ail the
faults of tiie latter, it had one merit,
which is not pretended to exist in this
case. The representatives were at
least respectable. They were English
... _ .1. » ««rl nnf
needy and seedy office-seekers, without
character or condition, as these carpet
baggers arc, who followed tho army
like vultures and who have done noth
ing but victimise and tleeoe the com
munities where they squatted for sub
sistence.
There is a serious phase about, this
matter, which may well claim the most
earnest attention. These twenty Sena
tors and fifty Itepreseusatives, who
have tints been brought into Congress
bj)’ fraud jand force, aiyl in defiance
of the declarations of tho very men
who hare now ‘•reconstructed” them,
will hold the balance of power in legis
lation. Without any stake themselves,
and with no form of responsibility to
constituents, they come here with the
power, not only to legislate for great
national interests, hut, in fact, with tire
control of legislation in their hands.
Twenty Senators, chosen by the Freed
men's Korean and a few satraps, may
negative the votes of New York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio Indiana, Illinois, New
Jersey, -Michigan. -Minnesota, Califor
nia and Maine. They have no interest
to protect hut tlieir own. They respect
nothing but themselves. They arc
mere dregs thrown to the surface by a
violent fermentation, who, by a natur
al law, will settle to the bottom as soon
as the disturbing cause disappears.
The pet-curious tenure of their appoint
ments, and tho certainty that they will
bo revoked whenever the people can
! speak for themselves, reuder them
necessarily indifferent to obligations
which would hind representative men,
if they have the other qualities which
! even their assuranco has not yet ven
tured to clltim.
A practical idea of tho moral worth
! of this class of men may be formed
from the experience of the carpet-bag
delegates wlio attended the Chicago
Convention from the South. They
| offered themselves openly for sale to
the highest bidder, and it is said the
'delegation from Louisiana was pur
| chased for three different candidates.
It is notorious that many of them wen
finally sold for their hotel bills and
traveling expenses. • Ubeso facts arc
indisputable, and are derived from the
most reliable Radical sources, and
most of them have been published in
leading Radical journals.
These delegates wero worthy com
panions of the Senators and members
who are to figure here, and it is not
difficult to estimate the commercial
value of the same article by tho prices
which recently ruled at Chicago. It is
a saddening spectacle to see our repre
sentative system disfigured in the
world's estimation and disgraced in
our own by such a perversion as this
for a partisan purpose. Well may men
doubt about the permanence of free
institutions, when the worst appliances
of despotism ami the most degraded
instruments of barbarism are employed
to carry out the ends of a party profess
ing to be “republican.”
The Radical's wore exclusively re
sponsible for legislation heretofore, in
consequence of their overwhelming
majorities, obtained by the most iniqui
tous means. Now they have assumed
an additional responsibility, and will
be held to strict account for the twenty
two Senators and fifty liepreseuativcs
who they have introduced into Con
gress, to increase the burthens of tho
Northern taxpayer, to vote for repudia
tion in every form that may be presen
ted, and to control legislation in the
interest of corrupt corporations and
.i..^ i:« « nrA
take to say that this is the dearest
acquisition yet made, and that the peo
ple before long will cry out for the ex
pulsion of every carpet-bag adventurer
who lias been brought here to aug
ment the power of Radicalism at the
cost of every material iutcrest, and to
putin peril the stability of this Govern
ment. Should the precedent be ac
knowledge, what security would there
bo left for institutions like ours? It is
a bad imitation of the constitutional
monarchies of Europe, where the sover
eign increases the number of peers in
the Senate at will, in order to strengthen
a falling ministry against the popular
will. Radicalism orders representation
made for Congress, and military satraps
execute its commands; and the tools of
this tyranny are called Senators and
Representatives!

Xomliiution of Dlair.,
As to Gon. Francis I\ Biair, his noin
| inalion was a token of respect for th<
inunv, anil especially tlic volunteci
army of the Union. His nominatioi
w.iSj'nioreovei, at tlie same time a re
i cogitation of the Great West, and i
handsome ami deserved recognition o
the Republicans who have joined thi
Democratic party since their forme
associates have enlisted for negn
equality everywhere else, and for negn
supremacy in the South. Gon. Blair i
the first Presidential candidate tha
was ever nominated by the Democrac;
from beyond the “Father of Waters.
Throughout his distinguished and wel
known career ho lias shown the holt
J traits and fearless independence of tin
' Western character, lie displayed thes
: traits in a striking manner in his re
' cent patriotic and manly avowals. Th
son of a remarkable man, horn in Frank
liu county, in sight of the capital o
j Kentucky, and trained up in the jioliti
cal family of GUI Hickory, ho scttlci
when a yotiug man in St. Louis, am
j soon made his mark as the young lieu
tenant of Senator Thomas II. Benton
In the Benton and Anti-Benton strug
glcs of the Missouri Democracy, li
took an active part for “Old Bullion,
: and finally became a full-blown Free
i Soilcr, and was elected to Congress a
| such from St. Louis.
As an advocate of emancipation ii
Missouri, he stood stubborn and almos
alone for years, hut was ever fearles
and consistent in the expression of hi
views. Ilis manner, his ability and hi
personal character were sueli, that
notwithstanding the unpopularity o
j Ilis position as to slavery, he was al
j ways respected and even popular, per
son’ally, with the pro-slavery men o
! that State. lie always recognized th
I White as the superior race; nlwav
scouted negro suffrage and tiegr
equality, and was always recognizei
as a strict construction Democrat upoi
all points hut his “Free Soil-’ ideal
j After supporting the election of Liu

army ns a uenerni ot volunteers, ne hk
General Hancock, “laid liis sword upoi
I the altar of civil liberty.” Among th
1 oppressed and persecuted Democrat
j of Missouri he is recognized as a large
hearted, patriotic man, who loves th
| traditions of constitutional govern
men!, and forgets ill peace the distinct
ions that wore set up between the citi
zens of a common country in time o
civil war. It was eminently propc
that the Democratic party should, b
nominating such a man for a high of
fice, testify the sincerity of its libers
and magnanimous professions, an
prove that it is organized upon th
living issues of the present, and not t
perpetuate the memory of past con
tentions.—Louisville Courier.

I THE
APPETITE FOR TOBACCO
. DESTROYED
. Leave off Smoking and Cltewiiig
, tlj«i Poisonous W eed, Tobacco!
1 One box of ORTON’S PREPARATION is
warranted to destroy the appetite for tobacco
■ in any person, iu» matter how strong the
habit may be. BtjP* If U fails in any case the
money will be refunded. It is almost impossi
ble to break off from tho use of 'tobacco by
the mere exercise of tho will. Something is
needed to assist nature in overcoming a habit
so firmly rooted; with the help of the Prepa
ration there is not llic least trouble, ilun
' dreds have used it who are willing to bear
1 witness to tho fact that Orton’s Prkimratioj!
completely destroys the appetite for tobacco
and leaves the person as free from any d.stre
for it as before he commenced its use. ft is per
fectly safe and harmless in all cases. The Pre
paration acts directly upon the sumo glands
and secretions affected by tobacco, and
! through these upon the blood, thoroughly
cleansing the poison of tobacco from the svs
. tern, and thus allaying the unnatural cravings
for tobacco.
iVo more Hankering for Tobacco after using Or
ton's Preparation! Recollect it is H ar
r runted! Beware of Counterfeit*
RECOMMIIN I)ATION«.
The following are a few selected from the
multitude of recommendations in our posst s
sion:
. [From W. P. II$ald, Esq., Bangor, Me.]'
r Ban unit. Me., April 24, 1868.
I hereby certify fchat I have used tobacco
1* j for thirty years past, and for the last fifteen
! years I have used two pounds per month. 1
f have made attempts to leave off at different
times—I have left off one year at a time, but
always continued to hanker after it until l
1 used Orton’s Preparation which has corn
I pletely cured me of the appetite for tobacco.
1 would recommend ail who are affected with
this terrible habit to try the Preparation,
which will certainly cure if the directions are
followed. • W. I\ IIEALI).
[From K. W. Adkins, Knoxville, Tenn.]
KkoxvilI.e, Tenn., Aug. 5, 1867
This is to certify that I had used tobacco
to such an extent that my health had become
i greatly impaired and my whole system de
u i ranged and broken down. In June, 1867, I
e | purchased one box of Orton's Preparation,
.... 1 r. • :. 1 r_1 .1.... t ...
r | pletely cured. I havo not had any hankering
i or desire for tobacco since using the Prepa
, ration. 1 believe it to be all that it is recom
f mended, and I would advise all who wish to
; quit the use of tobacco to try one box of Or
. ton’s Preparation. E. VV. ADKINS.
3 (From John Morrill, Bangor, Mo.)
} Bangor, Me., March 31, 1808.
I This is to certify that I havo used tobacco
l for eighteen years; have tried many times to
3 leave off, but have sufferred so much from a
9 dizziness in my head, and gnawing at my
9 stomach, that l have soon given tip the trial,
A short time since a friend induced me to
try Orton’s Preparation, (sold by you.) I
have done so and am completely cured. I
did not in the least hanker after tobacco
either to smoke or chew, after 1 began to uso
the Preparation. JOHN MORRILL.
