 IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE.
 POLITICAL CHANGEs.-HEAR AN HONEST MAN.
 MT. PLEASANT, Jefferson CO.,, June l9, 164O.
 Mir. Editor Sir, will you please to per- init me, through the medium of your paper, to renounce publicly all further communica- ton with the Van Buren Loco Foco party, and give my reasons for so doing.
 stand appointed as one of the committee of correspondence, and also of the committee of vigilance, for that party in Mt. Pleasant township. have faithfully attended to the duty of the appointments, and more particu- larly to those of the committee of vigilance. saw that many of our short-sighted editors, as we'll as number of our bar-room, stump, and other species of orators. were only fur nishing your party with political capital, by declaiming against the character of William Henry Harrison, and as in duty bound, by virtue of my appointments, exerted myself to diSsuade those of our party to whom had access, from pursuing that course. assuring them that if they did not desist from defam- ing Gen. Harrison, we would lose the State of Ohio, and all other States that had fur nished soldiers for HarriSon's army during the late war; because old soldiers, who knew him, and who had scanned his actions, at different times, would not bear 10 hear the :military or private character of their old commander attacked and defamed-,hey would all leave us, and take large numbers with them for they would consider them- selves disgraced in the same proportion as their commander.
 In reply to this, that there was no danger of losing the State of Ohio. because Governor Shannon had been to New York. and had obtained loan of $4OO.OOO, which was to be laid out on the public works and SO managed as to secure the votes of all the laborsrs. At another time was told there was no danger of losing the State of Ohio, because the price of produce, (wheat, &c.) would advance all along the line of the canal, before the cleo tion, aud that "all that the Dutch wanted to make them good democrats. was a little more money" On inquiring how the price of produce could be raised. at time like this when there was no money, was told m re- ply, that the office holders would have mon-

 But these arc not tithe of the evils of our much abused democracy, connected with the Presidency. The high incumbent, after eight years employment of the peoples favor, knows that the constitutional appointment of a successor is neither hereditary nor nomina- | tive, but purely electire by the people-and yet he dares to nominate his successor, and would even control the succession to that succession! Where then, are'the people !! They indeed cast in their ballots, but. only as the Roman Senate, in Rome's degenerate days, seconded the decree and rescripts of the Imperial despot! Where is the purity and independence of the elective franchise it hath become faint penumbra, ambling on the borders of executive power-a power now the most wonderful combination of de- mocracy and despotism, the world has ever exhibited! All this, repeat. is not imagina- tion's picture, but stern and fearful reality. My experience has been that the PEOPLE will bear 10 be told these wholesome truths I am quito sure there is honesty and virtue enough among us, to render such admonitionS acceptable to the great body of the people not, indeed. of the teaO who are of the trUe IO- cofocO gr't-they are incurable-but to the very many mistaken and decsiVed persons of worth, who love their country, and have adhered to the administration through false pride, through idle and ruinous party zeal, through long deluded hopes, through many yaunt'ng' but now broken promises.

 stead of leaving trade, currency and business affairs to be managed by the people, the ad- ministration, for the last seven years, has been making experiment upon experiment, each more ruinOuS than the other :; and when it sees calamity surrounding us in every di- rection, there appears to be zeal. an effort, a struggle, to make things worse instead ot better. It is madness to suppose that the people can be so mad as to submit to this state of things. Who keeps dishonest ser- want, who, after destroying every thing with- in his reach, defies his master to discharge him! We wrong the people when we say their sufferings will induce them to turn upon their oppressors and destroy them. It is a nobler motive impelling them to action-it is to save inc country and 10 save the instilu- tions of that country, which are in imminent danger. Nevertheless. there are large mas ses who cannot much longer indure the pre- sent state of things. Men broken down in their fortunes and prosperity by the uncalled for acts of the government-men who have lost every thing. and are actually in despair: We can imagine no greater calamity than the success of the present administration, if such an event is within the bounds of possi- bility. We can see no avenue of escape for inc country in such an event. That they will try for it, and risk boldly, desperately for the game, cannot be doubted. Despair must lend courage to the Wings. and they must meet their oppressors with determination and defiance. Let them boast, and meet and denounce. and talk big; let the Whigs early act :; let them be unceasing in their vigilance and activity be up and doing :" be seen actively everywhere, and success is theirs.-N.

 The evils of which we have loudly to com- plain, and which threaten all our institutions, nay. even our very existence as a free peo- pie, flow from this false democracy, this uItrG- ism, by which demagogues deceive and in- flame the minds of generous, enlighted, and confiding people. These evils often ex- tend beyond public and strictly political limits.

DEAR SIR:-I very cheerfully add my testimony
with regard to the efficacy Of Dr. Peters medicines
Ny wife had been for several years suffering anG
lingering under the effects of dyspepsia, with its
usual accompanments, when, in December, 1885,
purchased Of you one box--frcm the use of which,
her health was so far restored, that she deemed the
further use of it at that time unnecessary. Ona
return Of some symptoms of the disease during the
summer of 1887, she resorted to the same remedy,
and continued it until she had taken the contents
Of three boxes. Since that time she has been we'll
and can, without Inconvenience, any thing that
she fancies.
From this case and from the benefit to my own
health derived from the use Of single box, am
prepared to believe that this medicine is justly en-.
titled to all the credit claimed for it by its warmest
advocates. Yours, very respectfully,
VIM. WATKINS.
