James Il. Steedman.

A few days since, a Douglas meeting
was held at Toledo, at which James b.
Steedman, who is an acknowledged friend
of Douglas, and who is a shrewd politi-
cal f~inancier, made a speech, in the
course of which he made use of the
following language: 81 cope to see two
hundred thousand freemen assemble in
Chicago, and proclaim Stephen A
Douglas the Peoples candidate for the
Presidency."- Bucyrus Journal.
There is no doubt but what "Jeems''
made the declaration as 'in manner and
form set forth" by the. JournaL.-
".Jeems" has a long uuwritten history
as "a shrewd political fnancier," which
might be embellished with numerous cuts
illustrative of his tumbling into and
out of Office. His present movements
would seem to warrant the surmise that
his history may be closed with a thrill
ling narrative of "grouud and lofty
sumbling," in the Black Republican
Circus.-B ucyrus Forum.
& Mr.. STEEDMAN is a shrewd poll
:ician, and was once as true and devoted
a Democrat as We have ever known. 1t
is written, however, that linen change"
and that "evil communications" are cor.
and if our old friend gave ut.
to the language attributed to
him, it was because he had just returned
from Chicago, thoroughly indoctrinated
into the ambitious schemes of the little
politician with whom he had been sleeping
dreaming, and for aehom he spoke.

IMPORTANT TO CONSUMPTlVESl
DIR. CHUKCHILL'S DISCOVERY
THE HYPOPHOSPHITES OF
LIME, SODA AND POTASH,
A Specific Remedy for the Treatment of
M 8W AAzs y g O. M

THIS new and important Discovery in the
l. treatment of tuberculosis, (Consump
tion,) was made by the celebrated DR.. John
Francis Churchill of Paris. and first com.
municated to the French Academy of Medi-
cine in 1856. 1t has been adopted and is now
used throughout the Continent of Europe with
unprecedented success us a cure and preyen-
tive of this most formidable scourpe of the
Human Race. The Hypophosrhites are re-
commended by the most eminent Physicians
of N. Y, who prescribe it for their patients.
So long ago as 1855, DIR. Churchill, by n
series of scientific deductions came to the
conclusion, that the proximate cause, or Mt all
events an essential condition of tuberculosis
Consumption was a decrease in the system
" Tue phosphorus it contains in a oxygeniz-
able state. Hence he drew the obvious in
ference, that the means of curing the disease
consisted in restoring the deficient elements.
For this purpose, it was necessary 10 select
some compound of phosphorus which should
be at the same time oxydAzable and ~assimila-
ble-that is, capable of entering into and
forming a part of the system. These con-
dtiens were found to exist in the Hypophos |
phites ofLime, Soda and Potash, which seem
ed best to fulfil the two requisites of oxyda-
ton, or combustion, and assimilation. The
use of the Hypophosphites shows these prep
~arations to have a two fold specific action
On the one band they increase the principIe.
whatever that may be, which constitutes ner-
vous force; and on the other they are the most
powerful blood generating agents, far superior
to any hitherto known.
The Physiological effects of their use are
shown by an increase of nervous power, some
times even from the first day of their admin
istration, together with an unusual feeling of
comfort and S trength. The appetite increases
oftenin an extraordinary manner. The evacu-
atoms become regular and more abun dant;
the prespirations. if any lave existed, cease
sleep becomes calm and profound. All the
general symptoms disap pear with a rapidity
that is truly marvellous.

DR.. Churchill, are now for the first time offered

Disguised with Republication.

The New York Times, heretofore one
of the most efficient orgaus of the Re-
publican party in the Union, has become
disguised with its party. 1t can see 10
sense or integrity in keeping up an or
gaDization merely for the purpose of
opposition to the measures of a wise and
patriotic National Administration that
has steadily pursued the trae interests
foreign and domestic-of the country,
against moro f~actious and sectional COM
binatious than were ever arrayed against
auy former Administration of the gov
eminent. The Times thus takes its
leave of its dilapidated and bankrupt
party:
whether We are hereafter to be
classed, therefore, among the enemies
of the Republican party will depend
mainly upon the coursew which that party
may adopt. If its principles and its
commend themselves to our
we shall give it our support.
II not, not. That is all. At present,
is quite evident even to its leaders and
that both its principles and
its purposes are uncertain aud obscure
Its Pittsburgh and Philadelphia plat
no longer define its position, for
have rendered them obsolete
The Kansas question which was. the
main issuo in 1856, is, to all practical
extinct. We find no general
declaration of faith in the doctrine of
Congressional Legislation on slavery in
the territories. We see no signs of
agreement between Republicans in re-
gard to the tariff, or any of the other
questions, domestic or foreign, which

We conclude by copying the comments
upon the same article of the Chicago
Herald:
Tricks of the TricksierB.
Any one at all familiar with the poiit-
ical condition of Ohio, we'll knows that
while that State has been deplorably
abolitionized by the Oberlin fanatics, il
has also suffered from the influence of
bad, because short-sighted and selfish
coun sells, from some of those who have
been regarded as the leaders of the
Democratic party. The Enquirer, at
Cincinnati, the Statesman, at Columbus,
and the PlaindealeT, at Cleveland, have
been considered the three most prom
inent Democratic Journalist in that State.
Unfortunately, each of those organs of
the party has had its turf of deviatiDg
from the strait toward course which can
alone insure-the success of the Dem
~ocratic cause. The result has been just
what might have been expected. The
glorious State is in the hands of the
Abolitionists, the Democracy are pros
trated, and fauaticism is the order of
the day. But there is yet hope. In
different parts of the State, there are
sterling Democratic journals, condacted
With ability, which have never bowed
the knee to Baal, and never departed
from the true faith ofthe party. Among
the best of its class, the Ashland Union
stands high, and exerts a powerful in

turns neither to the right hand nor to
the left, but tells the truth fearlessly,

The policy OF elecfing Republican,
Officers to execute Democratic
Laws.
We have been credibly Informed that
in several counties, where Republican
Trcaurers are ostcnsi6ly discharging the
duties of their Offices, they are demand
ing coin In payment for taxes-claiuing
that they are required by the law of last
winter so to do.
We had supposed that this absurd
and unauthorized construction of the
law was made during the canvass last
fall for mere electioneering purposes,
and did not suppose that ever a Repub-
lican Treasurer would be so stupid or
malicious as to attempt to carry into
practice such an unjust view of TIE law.
As far as we can learn, however, the
Republican Treasurer of the different
counties are making the people pay
rather dearly for the folly of elec.iDg
them to the Offices they hold. Colum.
county is an example. We copy
from the Ohio Patriot:
Twenty fivcpeE cent of the taxes in
Coin.
It is alledged in excuse for compelling
the people to pay a portion of ther taxes
in specie, that the Treasury law, requires
the officer to pay out a portion of the
fund IN hard money. This is a good
enough excuse for a Republican, but it
will not suit democrats so well-for they
till remember that both Morgan and
Quin received paper money alone, in
payment of taxes aud paid out nearly
the whole fund in Coin, without charc.
ing the tax payer one cent. A Repub-
Iican treasurer may not be able to do
hls- 6ut dcnocratic t~reasurers hare
lone IL, and can do 1t again. If the
people want to be shaved one per cent.
their money let them sustain Repub-
icanism-if they want one dollar which
hey get for their labor or produce, to
good for n dollar at the treasurers'
counter, they must sustain democracy.
This swindel is one Of the legitimate re-
Iults of the whole Republican swindle,
md 1t is a great pity the opposition
annot get a shrek from Kansas to d.
ect attention from the thieving opera
ions on the rights and pockets of the
In this county (Ashland) not a dollar
as been collected in coin for taxes, ex-
ept in these cases where the payment

oweyer, will be disbursed by the Treas
rer than the law requires, and this, we /.
resume, will be the case in most of the /;
counties. Where the law
honestly and faithfully executed, it
i'll constantly increased in favor. with
lie people; and where Republican Treas +,
