Or. RICHARDSON'S BIrTERs.-In our columns may
be found an advertisement of Sherry Wine Bitters,
prepared by DIR. S. o. Richardson, of South Read

composed IF a variety of valuable and purely veg,
ctable matter. and from our own experience, as well
as others, Ee can speak highly of their renovating
and invigorating effects upon the system We have
a good opinion of the Bitters, as they are not q
quack p6str,rm, bnt diseoyered, prepared and ven
ded by regular physicians, 2 graduate of the college
of our own State, and who has said but little in the
way of putting them himself. but leaves it to thoss
who try them tojudge themselves. For the dlseasee
that many are liable to iR the Spring q d Summer,
such as Debility, Dyspepsia, BILIOUS AND Nervous

ters will be found a safe, agreeable and efectual
restorative. AS good health s one of the greatest

laboring under such disease, TO make a trial OF DR..
Richardson's Bitters; they can do no harm, and
may do much good. as we are confident in many

They were cheerful and hopeful when the
men who accompanied them were ready
to despond. After two hours of almost
supcrhuman exertion the blue skv appear
ed above them, and the fragrant air filled
them with delight. Thank Godl they
were saved.
But what an appearance did they pre-
sent! From head to foot they were COW
cred with mud and filth. Their clothes
were in tatters, and their hands were lac
Grated and bleeding. Night had descend
cd, and they were three miles away from
home, in the midst of a wilderness.
But the greatest danger was passed, and
with cheerfulness which almost banish-
ed their fatigue, they commenced their
homeward journey. At length they
reached the circle of their friends, who
had suffered an anxiety almost as painful
as their own terrible experience. 1t was
not till the haven of rest was reached,
where fearful faces welcomed them, that
the peril being all over and the occasion
Tor heroism past, feminine delicacy re-
sumed its sway, and those who had borne
so much and so nobly, sank into a swoon.

What "A Republican says of
Douglas.

The Boston Traveller, leading Repub-
lican paper, in speaking of him, says that
in his contest in 1858 "he won the great
est personal political victory known in
our history" In reviewing his political
career the same paper says:
Thus he has had eighteen years of Sen
atorial life conferred upon him, and six
Representative, besides having held half
a dozen other Offices, though be is now
only forty years old. Should he
be elected President, his Congressional
career will have covered exactly eighteen
years, fourteen Of which will belong to
his Senatorial history. 1t is seldom that
the life of any man presents so much of
success, in so short time, as we find in
the twenty-six years that have passed
away since his majority was completed.
AS a general thing this success has not
been undeserved; if we look only at the
intellectual side Of things. Mr.. Douglas
probably has no intellectual superior
among the statesmen and politicians of
the United States. His speeches and
writings are strong, clear, precise and log
ical. He has participated in all the
great Congressional debates Of the last
seventeen years, not to speak Of his enor-
nous labors ION the stump" and in con-
ventions and caucuses. Rarely has it
been his lot to be beaten. He was more
than a match for Mr.. Webster in 1850,
when that illustrious man endeavored to
show that the Democracy were response
bic for the pro-slavery character of the
Government.

What IL was Done For.

The Republican leaders are laboring
with might and main to make it appear
that the Missouri Compromise was made
solely to prevent the further spread of
slavery, and quote Mr. Jefferson as fav-
oring their position. The extract below
will show what Jefferson thought of the
real object ofthe compromise. In speak
ing of the old federal party he used the
following language:
"On the eclipse of federalism with us
although not its extinction, its leaders
got up the Missouri question under. the
false front of lessening the measure of
slavery, with the REAL VIEW OF PRODUCING
> GEOGRAPHICAL DIVISION OF PARTIES WHICH
NIGHT INSURE THEM THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
The people of the North went blindfold
into the snare, followed their leaders with
a zeal truly moral and laudable, until they
become sensible that they were inuring
instead of aiding the real interests of the
slaves, they had been used merely as tools
for electioneering purposes, and the trick
Of hypocrisy then fell as quickly as it had
been got up"

THE Chicago Times, says: 1--WE have
been called on by gentleman whose bus
mess has carried him over great part of
Egypt and nearly the whole of the central
counties of the State. He says that, in
point of enthusiasm and excitement, the
hard cider and log cabin days of 1S4O
are not to be compared with the feeling
W herever he has been. In Egypt, Of
course, the enthusiasm is like the handle
ola jug-all one side. In the centre
there is no more rivalry, but for enthusi-
asm, activity, zeal and numbers, the gall
liant Democracy are awarded the palm
even by their opponents. They raise the
tallest poles, have the longest professions
hold the lost and largest meetings, shout
the loudest, and are the most enthusiastic
and in fact are so certain of an easy tri-
umph that they taste in anticipation its
sweets already The news from the CEN
tire and Egypt encourages us to anticipate

A CoIoRED DlvINE.-A negro preach
er, who, like some other preachers, was
in the habit of using big words, but did
not always succeed in getting hold of the
right one, made funny mistake once
His text was, Broad is the road that
leadeth to death, and many there be who
go there; but narrow is the way that lead
eth to life, and few there be who take it."
"Belobed brudders, thar be two roads,
ebbery body goes in one or udder ob'em;
thars one road and dat am de road, and
dat leads right down to damnation, and
great many goes in it; but dar am anud-
der road, dat leads straight up to perdi-
ton" "If dat's de case" said an excit-
ed colored brother in the congregation,

A farmer going to get his grist ground
at mill borrowed bag Of one of his
neighbors. The poor man was knocked
under the waterwheel, and the bag with
him. He was drowned; and when the
melancholy news was brought to his wife
she exclaimed; ........
"My glacious what a fuss there will
be about that bag"
Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1860-09-27

WHY NoT.-In 1854 the Republicans
charged that the Taxes assessed by the
Democratic State officers were intolera-
bic, and that a reform was necessary
that the only way by which this reform
could be brought about was by displacing
the Democratic State officers and by re-
fuSing to elect any Democrat. The taxes
then assessed by the Democratic State Of
ficers were $3,20 on the thousand Dol
lars. This year, the republican State Of
icers assess 1896 on the Thousand Dol
lars-an increase of seventy-fve cents on
the Thousand Dollars since the Demo
cratic party had the control of the State
Government The people are less able to
pay the taxes now than in 1855, If the
high taxes then were just cause for the
overthrow of the Democratic party, why
are not the increased taxes under Repub-
lican rule Just cause for the overthrow
of the Republican party in Ohio?

AT recent Douglas meeting at Sede-
ker, in Iowa, speech was made by Capt
/. w. Griffin among others. One incl
dent in Capt. Grifin's speech was pro-
ductive of great effect. The votes of Lin
coin on the Mexican war question had
been adverted to by'previous speakers,
and the Captain, shaking the stump of
his right arm, which he had lost in the
Mexican war, asked the assemblage if he
who had lost one arm, and was willing
to loose the other in the cause of his
country, was a m urderer, and deserved q
welcome to "bloody grave by hospita-
ble hands," whether or not he had fought
in war unnecessary and unjust, and
whether or not they ould vote fora man
who so declared? The "no" that pro-
ceeded from that large audience would
shake stronger nerves than Mr.. Lincoln'S.
