Success or Defeat.

q e =
Who will be the Chicago nominee
This is the question exactly which no.
body can answer. Yet there is one
question we think can be answered, and
that is, what qualifications the Republi-
can candidate should possess.
First of all, he must be man against
whom the charge Of sectionalism can
not justly be urged. He must be man
whose public acts show him to have been
guided in his public conduct by patri-
otism that comprehends the welfare OF
the people of every section alike a
man, who,- though opposed TO the exten-
sion Of slavery, is not an enemy Of the
stakeholder, against whom this allega-
tion cannot, in the coming canvas, be
made with the shadow Of truth. He
must be conservative in order to avail
himself Of the conservative element in
the party, at the North, without which
success is impossible, and defeat certain.
This vote will be the controlling one in
the coming struggle.
If the convention shall nominate a
man who is regarded as having been
actuated in his public life by sectional
feelings, and attempt to run him on
sectional plank, hundreds Of thousands
of conservative votes a:s surely lost.
No extremist can carry the Anti-Le-
compton vote. Yet without the cordial
greeting of such men as Hickman,
Haskins, Reeder and Stanton. we might
us well chang up the fiddle and the
bow" so far as looking for victory is
concerned.
Argue it, and disguise it as you will
talk as long and charmingly as you
will about promou iced Republicans
GreeIy is right when he says "the par
ty is a great deal stronger than we think
it is, if pronounced" Republican can
be elected" The issue must not be
the abstract question whether Slavery is
malum per Sc ; leave that for the cler-
gy to sctte-but more reasonably and
more properly this" Shall Slavery
be extendhd ?" Let this be the issue.
"Can Slavery be, under the Constitu-
tion, extended over territory now free 20
AS for US, we are for the nomination
of man who can be elected--not an
aboltionist--not an ultraist-not man
ready to stand on a solitary northern
plank, casting defiant glances down over
the Potomac. We want to see man
nominated, who, while he is opposed to
the extension of slavery, recognizes the
constitutionality of slavery in the States
where it exists who, while he loves
freedom and free Soils yet imbued
with deep sense of the beauty and
greatness and glory of our country as it
is, and the constitution as it is-the
whole country and the whole constitu-
ton. Let such man be nominated
if nominated, he can be elected.

Bridge at st. Cloud.

Mr.. Fowler, in behalf of. company,
we understand, offers, upon certain con-
ditions, to build bridge across the
Mississippi river, connecting East St.
Cloud with St. Cloud at a point near
the Emerson House. A bridge there
would do more to build up the town than
$4,000 expended in any other way.
We hope the enterprise will go on.

LAKE SUPERIOR TRADE.

With regard to the Importance of ths
Superior trade to Northern Mime ota
and the steps to be taken to secure it
we have already frequently spoken ii
these columns.
By a statement Of S. P. Mead, Esq.
Superintendent of the Sault Canal, We
find how important is the commerce Of
that region already. The importations
of provisions, supplies, and merchan-
die for the past year, amount to S5,-
Dos, GAO /; the exports Of copper, iron,
fur and fish, to $3,17I,069. Among
the down freight-shipments, we notice
copper to tho amount of $2,445, 900 ;
iron ore to TIE amount Of $685., 900 ;
iron bars to the amount Of $l50. 900
Among the importations the last year,
there were $4,000 barrels of flour
5000 barrels Of pork 1000 barrels OF
beef of coarse grain, $4,000 bushels
From Detroit alone during the last
year, the shipments were immense. Ol
-four, lI,4I6 barrels (; Of. corn, 4OOo
bushels Of oats, 1000 bushels Of
pork and beef, 5000 barrels.
What a market is here for the surplus
grain Of the Mississippi Valley, if our
farmers could reach it By any direct
route What a market for our oats
and corn, now being sold at reduced
prices. What market for our beef
and pork, when our people here in Ben
ton and Stearns counties begin to raise
in abundance, as will soon be the case
We notice in the table OF shipments
from Detroit, number of cattle ane
horses, 667, and 2!2l bbls of lime O.
general merchandise, 5745 tons /; o
ground feed, 1907 tons butter, 3l3,.

Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most cffcctual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t Is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the cxpurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affcc-
tons which arise from it, such as ERuPrrvH
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ASTHoNY's FIRE,
RoaE, or ERYsIPBLAs, PINPLEs. PusTuLEs,

indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING PROM VtTIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in inapurity Of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

Is q constitutional disease, a corruption of tho
blood, by which this Huid becomes vitiatcd
weak, and poor Being in the circulation, it
pcrvades the whole body, and NAV burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulo'Is taint - variously
caused by merruriL di.oase, low living, ds-
ordered or unhealthy food, impure Gir, f,h
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vCnevcQl infection. What
ever be its oTiSii il l., hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, ~
viii visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubcrcles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
Tuphon, which gendcrs in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, SO that scrofuious constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
whichsalthough not scrofulous in their nature,
arc still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
arc aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous |;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise,

In view of the facs that every member Of
the human family is more or less subjected to
some Of the above complaints. besides in
Vulnerable other conditions in life. which,
by the assistance of little knowledge or
exercise of common sense, they may be able
so to regulate their habits Of diet. and with
the assistance of a good tonic, secure per-
manent health. In order to accomplish this
desired object, the true course TO pursue is,
certainly, that which will produce natural
state of things at the least hazard Of vital
strength and life for this end DR.. Hostetter
has introduced to this country a prepara-
ton called HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS, which at this day is not a new
medicine, but one that has been tried for
years, giving satisfaction TO all who have
used 1t. The Bitters operate powerfully upon
the stomach, bowels and liver, restoring
them to healthy and vigorous action, and
thus by the simple process of strengthening
nature, enable the system to triumph over
disease. Diarrhea, dysentery or hux, so
generally contracted by new settlers, and
caused principally by the change of water
and diet, will be speedily regulated by a
brief use of this preparation. Dyspepsia,
disease which is probably more prevalent
when taken in all its various forms. than
any other; the cause Of which may always
be attributed to arrangements of the dgcs-
tive organs, can BE- cured without fail by
using HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS as per directions on the bottle For
this disease every physician win RECON-
mend Bit,ers Of some kind, then why not
use an article known to be infallible
Every country have their Bitters as a pre-
ventivc of disease, aud strengthening of
the system in general, and among them all
there is not to be found more healthy
people than the Germans, from whom this
preparation emanatcd, based upon scientific
experiments which has attended to advance
th" hr'tinv of This great preparation in the
medical SCI Ilc of science
