Cancer, ScrOfula and Goitre.

Ample experience has proved that no combina-
ton Of medicine has ever been so etficacious in
removing the above diseases, as DIR. Jayne's Al
terative. II has effected cures truly astonishing,
not only Of Cancer, and other diseases Of that
class, but has removed the most stubborn diseases
o. the Skin, Swelings, Liver Complaint, Dyspep-
sla, sc. sc. This medicine enters into the cir
culaiion, and eradicates diseases wherever loca-
led. Ii purifies the blood and other fluids Of the
body, removes obstruction in the pores of the skin,
and reduces the engagements Of the glands or
bones. IL increases the appetite, removes head
ache and drowsiness, and invigoraies the whole
system, and imparts animation to the diseased and
debllltated constitution There is nothing superior
to IT in the whole materia medica. il Is perfectly
safe and extremely pleasant, and has nothing OF

that duties on foreign goods, reduce prices.
Our farmers buy their domestics, their hats,

thing which they must buy, cheaper than
they could buy the same goods if imported;
nay, cheaper than they can be manufactured
and sold in Europe. What else must the
laborer buy' Tea and coffees These ar
ticles are free of duty, as they ought to be;
because we cannot produce them, and pro-
lection could not result in making them ar
ticles of American production. If our soil
and climate were adapted to their growth
and they were protected for awhile by a
high duty, as cotton was protected by dn-
ties in the infancy of its cultivation in Amer
lea, we would say, protect it; and the re-
suit would be, that in short time, the price
of these commodities Woufd fall and we
should export tea and coffee to Europe. II
then, tea and coffee are free of duty and if
the dutiable goods of home manufacture
which the farmer buys, are bought cheaper

of people in Grant county, do not pay one
dime year into the National Treasury in
the form of duties. In districts which are
more entirely agricultural and where there
is less extravaganza and luxury in dress and
in living than in the mines, still smaller
proportion of taxes is paid. The system OF
duties under which our manufactures have
grown up, is emphatically system which
Mroms the burden Of taxation upon the rich

the revenues of the Federal Government al
$40,O00,000 per annum, and the population
of the United States at 20,000,0O0, our
proportion of the tax in Grant county, if the
tax were direct, would be more than $2S 900

At ia meeting of the citizens of Boice Prai-

of taking into consideration the subject of a
division of the county of Grant, w. +.

On motion of J. P. Cox, committee of
was raised TO draft resolutions expressive of
the sense Of the meeting.
The committee, consisting of JAMES P.
Cox, CUTLER SALMON, SYLVESTER WAR
FIELD, JOAN N. EayREs, and WILLIAM
HALL, after short consultation, reported
the following preamble and resolutions.
Whereas an effort is being made to di-
vide the county of Grant, by division north
and south, which said division is contem-
plated TO embrace two tiers of townships
through the entire length of the county on
the east. commencing at the southern boun-

Wisconsin river ON the north, embracing in
said division a strip of country twelve miles
wide and nearly fifty miles in length;

county by a line that will be greatly preju-
dicial TO the settlement in this portion of our
county, dividing as il viii, (if the objects of
the divisionists should be effected) one of

one side of the line aud cultivating ON the
other;

boundaries of our county will be broken up

county by such a division, onerous upon
the taxpayers, by making it absolutely nee
