months of profound peace, has exhausted
an overaowing treasury, and added to the
public debt forty millions of dollars with
out any VISIBLE indications of a proposed
remedy, or cessation of the evil, submits
to the people to choose between the al
tentative of National Bankruptcy or Ma
tional Reform.
4. ReSolred, That we invite all men of
all parties, to join with US in restoring
the Government to its original purity and
principles, and preserving it as an inher-
itance for those who may come after u.s.
These resolutions are merely an excuse
for not making platform. The first is
q general endorsement of the Republican
party, giving as a reason that it has been
instrumental in getting them into office.
The second is diminutive Kansas squeak
and the third is simply an exploded false
hood. The fourth is kind of squirting
towards the peoples party.
Altogether it is the poorest and most
dispicable attempt at a platform ever got
up to humbug voters. Compare it with
the bombast and fury Of Republican plat
forms of two or three years ago. and it
Indicates that the party is fully conscious
that it is soon to lie down and die.

DR.. Roback's Discoveries.

We can not shut eyes to the fact. that
DR.. Roback's famous Medicines, the Scandi-
navan Blood Pills and Purifier, are effecting
wonderful cures of Fever and Aguc, Dyspep-
sia, Liver complaint and Rheumatism, i'll all
parts of .he West Planters and Farmers,
upon whose words we can rely, assure us that
such is the case, and the newspapers with
which we exchange confirm the statement.
The Blood Pills and Blood Purifier as their
names import, act specifically upon the active
principle of disease in the Animal Fluids.
The di5tributive system OF bloodvcssels and
nerves, which irrigate the whole body with the
element of vitality, becomes, when that ele-
ment is tainted with corruption, a d.ssemna-
ton of the seeds of disease. 1t is upon this
circulating poison, this deadly virus, propelled
through the veins and arteries to the destruc-
ton of health and life, that DR.. Roback's prep
arations act. They change the chemical chal-
acter of the blood. revitalize it, render it pure
and nutritious. Graphing with and destroy
ing the very root of Il disorder, their cures are
complete and permanent. We invite atten-
ton to Dr.. r.. advertisement.

fected everybody present out the prisoner
to whom they were addressed. ,r A
The Judge then sentenced the prisoner
to be hung by the neck until dead, in the
county prison on sFriday,the third day OF
September ne xt, between the hours of ten
O'Clock *. M. and two O'Clock P. NJ

extent in this country. Every friend of

that the only preparation which will arrest

Can any one name an instance in which it
