cultivated, and they pay immensely in the
refinement of taste and sentiment which
their presence invariably produces. Next

When an editor is favored with one of these

D"ADfoND, aug. 20, 1oOV.
DEAR TINES Last night was glorious
one for the Democracy of Bradford. A
large and enthusiastic meeting was address.
ed by Hon. Geo w. Maxficld, our candi-
date for Auditor of State, Hon. VIM. Nc
Clintock, candidate for Attorney General,
and Senator Ainsworth, of Fayette. Al.
though the notice of the meeting was short,
the farmers and working men turned out in
goodly numbers, and Notwithstanding the
efforts Of the Republicans to get up rival
meeting, it was the largest and by far the
most enthusiastic political meeting held
here this season. The speeches were able
and eloquent, and the speakers were repeat
eddy greeted with most hearty applause
The meeting adjourned at late hour, with
three rousing cheers for STEPHEN A. DOUG.
LAS. The talk of Republican journals
about ''grcat gains in this part of the
State is all humbug. Fremont's relative
majority in this county will be reduced
two-thirds this Fall. Ths "gains" arc on
the Democratic side of the house, and the
returns in November will prove it. The
people are beginning to see that it requires
better timber than rails to make Presidents
In Bremen county the Republicans are pref
ty effectually dried up. The home Of MAX
FIELD may be relied on for rousing major
ity for DOUGLAS, and our State ticket.
The crops arc excellent; wheat very
heavy, with an average yield Of 80 bushels
per acre. A frost, two weeks ago, set the
corn hack some, but there will he an aver
age yield. Bradford is improving constant
ly; new stores are being opened, and bust
ness is quite brisk.
Hastily yours, F.

Territory, Aug 8, $780," requesting copy
of the Times to be sent to Fort Kcarney
whence he can get it by Mountain Team
sters. He gives a gloomy account Of the
prospect. "Most of my time has been
spent at Tarryall and Hamilton, in Kansas,
and the pay has been Is cents to the pan,
or what the miners call half grub" On
ly one in 500 clear $500 per day. His
health has been good, but deaths by noun
tain fever are not unfrcqucnt. He scolds
the Denver City papers for lying, and con-
cludes by stating that gold is scattered
throughout the mountains but so mixed
with earth as to be improbable hunting,
except for men of large capital.
Letters are now carried to Denver for
common postage and we can write to our
friends daily.

SLAVE SrArEs.-Colfax's Register and
many of the Republican party deny that
their doctrine is to exclude states hereafter
that may demand admission with slave
constitution. They point triumphantly to
their Chicago Platform for the absence OF
the doctrine. The President of the late
New York State Convention, j. G. Smith
distinctly announced this position as car
dinal one and the members of the Conven-
ton vociferously applauded. "All things
unto all men" seems to be the popular
idea' with these political acrobats.

wLate discoveries in Pathology show
that very many of the diseases which afflict
mankind arise from impurity Of the blood.
This has long been suspected but it is only
lately known. In consumption, tubercles
are found to be scdimentary dcposite t. ON
the blood. Dropsy, Gout, Cancer, Ulcers
and Eruptions, all arise in disordered de-
posites from the blood. Bilious diseases
and fevers are caused solely by its deranged
unhealthy state, and even the decline Of
life follows a want of vitality in the blood.
In view of these facts DR.. AVER designed
his Cathartic Pill especially to purify and
invigorate the blood, and hence we believe
to arise its unparalleled success in control.

A REAsoN.-Wc are frequently asked
why we do not "pitch in" to that class of
Aunkies who seek occasion, politically and
otherwise, to malign u.s. The reasons are
numerous. First we are disinclined to ap-
pear before the public as the peer Of such
cattle. Secondly: we do not like to use
language unbecoming gentleman, and,
Thirdly: We could apply no terms to the
fellows referred to that would lower them
in the least;-they are already at the bot
tom of the ladder. The baptism of one of
them in cess-pool would not add to the
odium with which respectable people regard
them. Defamation is as necessary to their
natures as poisonous gases are to snakes
and .oads. tLet EN- rip"

IT HuRrs.- The union Of Douglas and
Bell men is a rough affair for our opponents.
The New York Times says the Republicans
will have to fight hard to save the State for
Lincoln and if the rank and file Of Brcckin-
ridge men go the same way there is no pos
sibility of Lincoln having show. The OPP
position papers say Douglas is a Catholic
and hence HuGHEs supports him he is also
a X. N. and the americans support him -
These stories are told for effect. The union
of Union men in New York simply shows
that the integrity of this Republic is valued,
higher than our common questions Of dis
pute The old line Wings have been COM,
ing to the Democracy by individuals-in
New York they have come en- mass. There
is not X. N. sentiment preached by the
Bell men of any State, but when the Repub-
lican party are SO very polite to German
revolutonists and infidels like Shurz and
Hassareuk as to give them the first place on
the electoral tickets Of Wisconsin and Ohio,
it is not strange that American born Rcpub-
leans and Wings find such doses rather Of
fcnsive. Germans have no business to DO
clannish any more than Americans.
