DR.. S. A. WEAvER's CERATE.-It is now
about ten years since this article was first in
troduced to the public, and such has been its
success, that from the annual sale of few
thousand bottles of it, the sales have now
reached Millions in the same length of time.
Now what is the reason of this great increase
of its use? Simply from the fact that there
never has been article that could be COM
pared to it, for curing many of that class of
diseases which have always been said to be in
durable. 1t has cured diseases after they have
stood for years, and every other tried remedy
has failed. 1t has effected permanent cures.
Another reason ofits great success is from the
fact that when one person uses it, he finds out
what it will do, and tells it to his neighbors,
and the use of one bottle is sure to make sale
of hundreds of others. We have never puffed
it, or tried to force it upon the public, but have
left it to make its own way and establish its
own reputation. and it has so far done it, that
in most places where it has been introduced
it has taken the place Of all other Ointments
and Salves.
1t is sold by medicine dealers generally.

Mr.. Coombs addressed the crowd in a

have neither time nor space to give a

/ Ed. OF THE TELEGRAPH-Dear Sir:
| have anticipated all sorts of misrepre
sentations from the enemies of the great
National Republican Party, during the
present campaign. Nevertheless, l was
hardly prepared to hear, as [ did few
days since, that the Democratic party is
the fast friend of a protectire tariff, while
the Republican party is fully committed
to '.tree trader assured my informant
that this was an entire ''mistake," to say
the least; and l also promised him, with
your permission, to publish that part of
the platform of each party, which bears
upon this question.
The twelfth resolve of the Republican
platform adopted at Chicago, reads:
''That, while providing revenue for
the support of the General Government
by duties on imposts, sound policy re-
quires such an adjustment Of these ineposts
as to ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT
OF THE INDUSTRIAL INTERESTS OF THE
WHOLE COUNTRY, and aee commend that
policy of Irrational exchanges aohich secures
to the WORKING MEN LIBERAL
VA AGES, TO AGRICULTURE REMUNER
ATIVE PRICES, to mechanics and manu-
tacturers on ADEQUA TIE REWARD
for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to
the nation commercial prosperity and an
dependence"
The Democratic platform adopted at
Cincinnati in 1856, and re-adopted at
Charleston and Baltimore, by both the
Douglas and Breckenridge wings of the
party, and to which both these gentle
men are distinctly and unequivocally
pledged, says:
''That there are questions connected
with the foreign policy of this country
which are inferior to no domestic ques-
tion whatever. The time has come for the
people Of the United States to declare
themselves IN taror of free seas, AND
PROGRESSIVE FREE TRADE
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, and,
by solemn manifestations, to place their
moral influence at the side of their sue
cessful example,
This is clear declaration, by the
double. headed Democracy and upon
which both heads are as one that ''the
time has come for free trade THROUGH
OUT THE WORLD" And this falsehood
is "nailed to the counter as base coin"

MA.Ihe Bell-EVerett meeting which
was to meet at the Court house on Fri
day last, did not, we are informed,
transact any business. 1t was not
largely attended, although several re-
spectacle citizens, who, we believe be-
long to that party were in town.
The Democratic Convention, which
met week before, left some of the Off
ces vacant and appointed committee
of conference to meet with the Bell
people to form "fusion" if they could.
This Committee was on hand according
to programme. But the ''fusion' we
are informed, was opposed by the Hon.
James NJ. Miller: and the proposed we'd
ding either wholly abandoned OF post
poned.
We don't know which party backed
out. But after the Bell men left the
meeting without taking any action, the
Douglas committee Of conference pro-
ceeded to fill up the Democratic ticket by
supplying the vacant Probate Judgeship
with the name of NJ Dudderer, of Orange
township, and that of Recorder, with
the name of Z. StEider,
There was some tall swearing by the
Democracy at the smallness of the Bell
part of the meeting. One Of the leaders
swearing that there were more dutch
men still in the party, than all the Know
Nothings which they would be likely to
get by the fusion. He said the Bell men
had assured him that they could bring
one hundred and fifty votes into the
new firm, and as the German voters had
nearly all turned Republicans, some
thing might be gained by the fusion.
But that he had satisfied himself that
not more than t,oenty at the outside
could be relied upon, and he would be
id if he would divide the ticket
with any such number-the Bell men
he said mightgo to Hand the id
Dutchmen with them, before he would
sell out on any such terms &c.
We have no evidence other than that
above that the Bell men offered to "fuse"
with the Douglasites. And from the
character of some of the gentlemen who
are said to be Bell men, we should
hardly think they would have pleasant
dreams, sleeping in the same bed with
the leaders Of the movement ON the
other side. But Glove" makes marriages
sometimes between very incongruous
parties, and if this little courtship was
genuine love affair, the union will no
doubt yet be consummated either clan
destinely, or as "run away match
But from what we heard from the party
above referred to, we suspect the motive
on his part, was wholly mercenary, and
having ascertained that the dowry IN
votes was not what was expected, the
'match" may be considered as broken
off.

We did not stay to the close of the
meeting. There was some talk of form
ing Houston, County ticket for Meigs
County, but whetherei it was determinedto to
do SO or not We have not been advised.
A motion was carried to appoint a
committee Of two hundred and fifty for
each township and precinct of the
County, but in the enthusiasm of the
hour we could not understand the pre-
else object Of these committees.
It is proper to say that there seemed
to be total breaking up of the old par
ties. The speakers Lave heretofore be-
longed to the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties in about an equal proper
tion; and it was one of the Hsigns of the
times to see gentlemen who have been
heretofore opposed to each other in poll
tics, bury their feuds on the altar of a
common patriotism, and unite their
voices and pledge their efforts, to heal
the "bleading wounds of their beloved
but ruined country, by elevating to the
Presidency the "father' as one Of the
orators proclaimed him-''of them little
ipgens."
If Lincoln should decline, after hear
ing Of this demonstration, and Houston
will give us the printing of the Post Of
flee Blanks, we will give him a most
dtsittcrested support.
