Republican Falsehoodz.

ASAASCAsOON|S
1t is scarcely possible to fathom the
depth of infamous fabrications to which
the opposition resort in their mendac-
ious attacks upon the Administrations
Truth, honor or fairness weigh not a
feather to. deter them from any course
which promises to create a present pre-
judice. The improbability of a charge
does not prevent its being made, nor
the fact Of its being proved utterly false
prevent is reiteration. They fatten up
on falsehood as vampires feast upon the
dead. One Of their latest, most improb-
able lies is the charge that the Admin
istration was using the patronage aris-
ing from the Utah expedition to secure
votes for the Lecompton Constitution
in Congress-
The correspondent Of the n. Y. Her
aid shows this o be entitled to the same
credit, and no more, that is usually
awarded to Black Republican roorbacks,
that is, it is utterly foudationless and
impossible, as no contracts have been
made. He says -
81 am authorized to state that all re-
ports alleging that the Secretary of War
has made contracts with any parties for
horses or corn for the Utah army are
without the slightest foundation"
The Richmond South also asserts up
on authority that that these statements
are MISUNDERSTANDING of truth or shadow
of execution, and that the War Depart
ment has made no contract for the
purchase of either horses or Indian
corn. 1t is upon the breath of Just such
and wretchcd calumnies that the
Black-Republican party exists, and the
ooner it dies the better for the morality
the country and for the cause Of
truth and honesty.
KEMr's Worm Observation-Disclosures
turn from the ordinary nauseous YER
nifugcs in despair. Children refuse to
AXE them, and their mineral ingredients
ire dangerous. These PAsTILLEs, on
he contrary, are a treat to the little suf-
and neither contain mercury nor
its aid to perfect a cure. Being
convinced that multitudes of children
lie annually of diseases originating in
Intestinal worms, we earnestly recon-
mend the attention of parents to this
'alatable and safe remedy. B~RIsToL's
'ARsAPARILLA is another standard spec
fc for which the confidence of the sick
an be con%scientiously claimed. 1t un-
.uestionably works wonders in scrofula,
alt rheum, scurvy, and all cancerous,
l~lcerous and eruptive disorders. The
resent proprictors, D. 7. LANMAN &

MEXICO-What is to Become OF Yer,

Tho experiment of elf.govcrnment
has proved a failure in the adjacent
Republic of Mexico. Since her revolt
from Spain, she has passed through
revolutions without number, and has
no end of different rulers. But her
progress hus been constantly backward.
Government, by whomsoever admins.
tered, has failed to fulfil it's functions.
1t has not established justice or pro.
tected the people or made life and prop
erty secure. On the contrary, it has
uniformly been efficient for evil, when
strong enough to accomplish anything.
Every successive administration has
proved little better than organized rob-
berry. In short, Mexican self-rule is
drama played out.
1t Is with nations as with indiyid.
uals. When man, through power
ty or bad habits, becomes VIGOROUSLY
unable to take care of himself, the law
appoints for him u guardian. The
proceeding is founded, not in caprice
or oppression, but in natural Justice
and the necessity of the case. The
best interests Of the unfortunate i'm.
becilo are consulted. So, too, are the
rights and comfort of his neighbors.
Mexico requires guardian. This
is settled iact-not an open question.
! The only onc--and a most important
one--to be considered is this: Who
shall that guardian be?
When the matter is decided, as soon
it must be, the United States will claim
to DC heard. No European power
may quietly establish q monarchy on
this continent. Every sentiment of
AnSio-Saxon progress rises up against
such a step.
ComontOrt is now here. 1t is belicy-
ed that he desires aid from the gov
eminent orpeople ofthe United States;
to be reinstated under American pro-
lection, and to introduce American en-
ergy, industry, and capitol into Mex
! leo.
Should such an appeal be made,
would it be UNDECIDED? We think not.
Mexico Is our nearest neighbor on the
South. Her territory, partly within
the topics, abounds in the choicest ma
terial for commerce, including the pre-
cious metals. Hitherto our citizens
have been deferred from entering Mex
leo by the insecurity of life and prop
erty. But let stable government
once be established, and the tide of
American progress will set resistless-
ly toward the Isthmus Of Tehuante
pee.
Without war or fillibustering, Next
co, through the entire extent of her
vast salubrious and fertile domain,
would be Amcricanizcd. Industry,
the arts, and commerce would flourish.
Her degraded and unhappy population
would feel the impulse Of our example,
and new era Of wealth, social pro-
gress, and national greatness would
be inaugurated.-N Y. Times.

been taking out large amount of

progress of the expulsion of the quick

they all bent over the pan in which the
amalgam was, and all were badly sal
iyated by the volatilized mercury. 1t
is said that a large portion of the rheu-

mines are attributed to similar careless

Tile Mormon POlicy.-Some ofthosc
who assume to be acquainted with the
Mormon policy, say that when the
United States army enters Salt Lake
City, they will find the Mormons all at
work minding their own business, and
wondering why the troops were sent
there. The leaders will, however, be
absent. Finding 10 resistance, the
troops will be removed by the Govern.
ment, and then the leaders will return,
and the United States civil officers will
be subjected to annoyance similar to
those which induced the Government
to send out the expedition. 1t is ar.
gued that q volunteer force raised in
the State, with view to permanent
settlement in Utah, is the only means
of keeping these people in check.
