LincOln's Defeat Certain.

Whatever else may be our destiny, it now
appears quite certain that Abe Lincoln cannot
be chosen, by the people of the United States
to the Chief Magistracy.

consequences may appear to the slang -whang-

re- Ii is common observation that there
are more sufferers from debility, among Amer
leans, than can be found among any other
civilized nation. The reason is obvious.
We take too little exercise. and forget the
wants of the body in the absorbing pursuits
of business. In all such cases, ordinary med
icines can do little good. What is required
is just such tonic and invigorator IS DR..
Hostetter has given to the world, in his
CELEBRATED .'BITTERS." The weak
and nervous denizen of the counting house.
the exhausted toiler upon the shop-board,
and the Frustrated student of the midnight
lamp. have found wonderful regenerator in
the ''Bitters," and prefer it no more poeten-
tIous, but less efhcacious medicines. But IL
should not be forgotten that the agent which
is so magical in its influence upon a frame
which is merely debiliated, is equally power

the reports which the friends of Georoe "

TO your Tents Democrats Of Cam

"Once more unto the breach
Dear friends once morem
Democrats of Cambria the time for talk
ing has gone by. and the hour for action has
arrived. On next Tuesday, you will be call
ed upon to exercise at the Ballot Box, the sa-
cred right of suffrage. Are you prepared to
exercise that high and holy right of an Amer
ican Freeman, in the manner that az intelli-
gent Citizen and true Patriot ought to exer-
else itf We sincerely hope that you are, and
that at this dark and perilous crisis in the his
tory of our country, you will stand by the Ma
tional Democracy who have adopted as their
rallying cries, "THE UNION AND THE
EQUALITY OF THE STATES. THESE
ARE THE SYMBOLS OF EVERLAST-
ING UNION" If you love your party aud
desire to see it preserved, if you love your
country, if you love your State, vote for Gen
HENRY D. FOSTER, the great statesman,
patriot, radical Democrat and advocate of a
TARIFF which will protect the great Coal
ard Iron interest of our noble old Common
wealth, for GOVERNOR. Vote for AR
CHIBALD MALLISTER OF Blair county
for Congress. REMEMBER, that Hon. S. S.
Blair, is an Abolitionlst, and that last winter
he voted in Congress in favor of bill, for ap
pointing committee whose duty it should be
to inquire into the propriety of abolishing
slavery in all the States of the Union; and
REMEMBER also, that notwithstanding all
his pledges, he accomplished nothing at all
during the last session, in behalf of of a
Protective Tariff. Mr. NJ Allister is a relia.
BILE and influential Democrat, and the friend
of a TARIFF that will protect the great bus
iness interests of Pennsylvania; give HIM your
enthusiastic support.
Vote for MICHAEL DAN MAGEHAN
for Assembly; you have known him for years,
and you know that he is eminently worthy of
your support and your confidence. As to his
opponents, A. Q. Mullin has always been the
enemy Of the Democratic party, and has no
right to claim or expect any support at your
hands. James Potts is not running as a
Democrat, but as the candidate of a local
one idea faction. George NJ Smith is the
man who betrayed your confidence at
Charleston and at Baltimore, and who while
a member of the Legislature. was the plant
tool of the Suubury and Erie Rail Road Com
pany. If elected he .vould doubtless a. the
approaching Session Of tie Legislature vote
in favor of the RepssSa the sas-on the Ton
mage of the Pennsylvania Rail Road Conpa-

sustain soulless corporations, than to protect
the rights of the honest hard working tax
payers Of our State. REMEMBER that the
Convention which nominated him rejected,

Good News from the Country-Our

The presence in the city during the Fair

of Missouri. has afforded us an OppOrtuBit y
of gathering much information about the at
tItude of parties in the State, and the pros
poets of our cause. Those prospects we are
relOiced to state. are cheering and encourage
ing in the extreme.
During the long period of unbroken dark
ness in which the State has been under the
shadow of Democracy, there never was Il
time when the dawn seemed TO be more Ger
taialy approaching. The day of our deliver
anec draws nj Oh. The enemies who have
dOmineered over us are irrctrievably divided
and fighting each other with a fury that
grows liercer as the decisive day of election
approaches. Converts from both wings of
the sundered Democracy are constantly COM
ing over TO us to increase our numbers and
strengthen our hands. They have become
convinced of their utter impotency TO make
even their mark i'll the canvass and satisfied
hat the contest is between Lincoln and Sec
tionali>m on one side, and Bell aud Patriot
ism on the other, they are rallying to The
support of the latter. The cause of the
Union is growing more popular among the
people every day, and at this day, is in the
ascendent i'll MissOuri.-St. Louis Nercs. D.
