Catarrh! Catarrh!! .Catarrh Il! Catarrh II!
What is it1 Hop Cured?

Thousands of persons suffer all sorts of an
noyances from Catarrh. Most people know
what it's Inconvenience and results are, yet
but few know how it can be cured. 1t is
simply chronic irritation, and often enlarge
ment of follicles and consequent thckening
of the mucous membrane, lining the nasal
cavities, frontal sinuses, and sometimes ex-
tending into the throat and lungs. From
this result tightness and often vertigo of the
head. obstructed nose, or profuse flow of
mucus, loss of smell, nasal voice, and often
impaired hearing and taste.
The old-school remedies have never been
able to do any thing for it. Nasal injections
and inhalatons are as painful and expensive
as they are generally worthless, Yet Hum
phreys' Catarrh Specific. simple Sagar
Pill, taken two or three times per day,
promptly cures the milder cases; cures at
once all colds in the head, and radically cures
by persevering use, the most obstinate cases,
as is proved by the experience of hundreds.

HANNIBAL HAMLIN.

Hannibal Haulln, who was nominated
last evening by the Republican ConveD.
ton at Chicago for Vice President, was
born in Paris, Oxford Co., Maine, in Au-
gust, 1909, and is now in the 5lst year
Of his age He is BY profession lawyer,
but for the last twenty years has
been, for much of the time, in political
life FROM 1886 to ls4O he was uem-
bcr of the Legislature of Maine, and for
three of those years be was the Speaker
OF its House Of Represe ntatises. ln ls43
be was elected member of Congress, and
re elected for the following term. ln
ls47 he was again a uember of the State
Legislature, and the next year was cho
sen to Eli vacancy, occasioDed BY the
eath of John Fairfield. in the United
States Senate. In 1855 be was reelected
for the full term in the same body, but
resigned on being chosen Governor OF
Maine i0 1857. In the same month he
was again elected to the United States
Senate tOr six years, which Office he ac-
cepted, rcsigning the Gorernorsbip. He
T is still a member of the Senate. This
record is an evidence of the confidence
with which be has always been regarded
by bis fellow citizens in Maine.
Up to the time Of the passage Of the
Kansas Nebraska bill in 1854, Mr.. Han
lin was a member of the Democratic par
ty. That act he regarded as a proof that
the party, with which be had been all his
life connected, no longer deserved the
name of Democratic. and was treacher.
Gus to the principles be had SO long cher
ished. Tbenceforward be gave bis sup
port to the Republican party, of which be
has ever since continued faithful and
distinguished leader.
Mr. Hamlin is nan Of digHifcd pres
cuce, of solid abilities, of uBfinchng in
tegrity, and great executive talent. Fa
miliar with the business of legislation. ht
is peculiarly adapted, by the possession
of all these qualities, to fill beneficial.
for the country, aud to bis own and hi
partys honor, the high post for which h
has been nominated The name of Fl an
nbal Hanlin of Maine is fit second t.

MARCH OF IMPROVEMENT.

" THE BARD OF THE EAsToN HALL OF FAsHf0E,
improvements car is rolling
Onward with impetuous speed;
Matters and men are swayed as easy,
By its motion, as the reed
Bends to the soft Summer breezes,
Or the waves at Luna's will,
Rise and dash along in fury,
Then lie passive, hushed and STILL
In our own great nation, we can
Mighty changes daily see,
And we sometimes fear the bending.
(To the blast,) of Freedoms tree.
To the crisis, now impending
Eager thoughts and wishes turn.
While in North and Southern regions,
Fierce devouring passions burn.
Bullylng's been reduced to science,
In the present age, and might
In congressional discussions.
Takes the precedence Of right.
In this age of progress, woman
Greatly to mistake, we fear,
What Almighty wisdom meant, should
Be her own peculiar sphere.
Times are changed completely, grandsires
Oft in sorrowing accents say;
And tear drops to the mem'ry
Of the good times passed away.
Yes, Improvements march is onward!
Here We'll leave the matter rest.
Wiser heads than ours must settle
The great question, which times bests
One thing friends, we are assured of,
That for neat becoming style,

Ever equaed that by Pyle.

from the shock of bis conviction and SEN
tence. and Is now apparently very much
at ease in bis mind. He seems cheerful,

The hope of new trial or of a reprive,
evidently buoys him up at present, but
when be shall fully realize the awful fact
that bis doom is irreversible and must be

differently from what he now does.

ReS0lred, That We, the delegated rep
resentstives of the Republican Electors OF
the United States. in Convention Assem-.
bled, in the discharge of the duty We owe
to our constituents and our country, unite
in the following declarations:
First: That the history Of the nation
during the last four years bas fully es-
tabIished the propriety and necessity OF
the organization and perpetuation OF the
Republican party, and that the causes
which called it into existence are perma
ue nt in their nature, and now more than
ever before demand its peaceful and con-
stitu,ional triunph.
.Second: That the maintenance of the
principles promulgated 10 the Declare
ton of Independence, and embodied in
the Federal Constitution, is essential to
the preservation Of our republican insti
tu.ious; that the Feneral Constitution, the
rights of the States. and the Union of the
States, must and shall be preserved; and
that we reassert "these truths to be self
evident, that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by their Creator
With certain unalienable rights; that a.
moug these are life, liberty, and the pur-
suit of happiness. That to secure these
rights. governments are instituted among
ueD, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed"
Third: That to the Union OF the States
this nation owes its unprecedented in.
crease in population; its surprising devel.
opmeut of material resources; its rapid
augmentation of wealth; its happiness al
home and its honor abroad; and We bold
in adherence all schemes for disuDlon
come fron whatever source they may
and we congratulate the country that nc
Republican Member of Congress has Ut
tered or counteuauced threat Of disu
nioD. SO often made By Democratic Mem
bers of Congress without rebuks and with
applause from their political associates
and we denouuce those threats of disunion
in case of a popular overthrow of theil
aseendenoy, as denying the vital prinei
Piles o! free Government, and as an .
vowal of contemplated treason, which 81
is the imperative duty of an indignan
people strongly to rebuke and forever 81
leDce.
/ Fourth: That the msintenance invio
late of the rights of the States. and espe
cislIy the right of each State to order ant
f control its own domestic institutions, 90
cording to its own judgement exclusively
is essential to that balance Of power ol

NOBLE SENTINENTS-This Is an agreeable
world after all. If we would only bring our
selves to look at the subjects that surround us
in their true light, we should see beauty ghe q
we beheld deformity, aad listen to harmony
where we heard nothing but discord. To be
sure, there is great deal of vexation and
Hnxhy to meet; we cannot sail on a summer
coast forever; yet if we preserve a calm eve
and steady hand we can 30 trim our sails and
manage our helm, to avoid the quicksands,
and weather the storms that threaten ship
wreck. We are members of one great family;
we are travelling the same road, and shall ar
rive at the same goal. We breathe the same
air, are subject to the same beauty, and shall
lie down upon the bosom of our common moth
er. Ii is unbecOming then that brother should
hate brother; il is not proper that friend should
deceive friend; il is not right that neighbor
should deceive neighbor. We pity that man
who can harbOr enmity against his fellow; he
Ilses hall the enjoyment OF life; be embitters
has own existence. Let US tear from your eyes
the eolOred medium that invests every object
with the green hue Of jealousy and suspicion;
turn deaf ear TO scandal; breathe a spirit of
charity from your hearts; let the rich ousbin0s
of human kindness swell up as a fountain. go
that the golden age" will become no fiction,
and the islands Of the blessed bloom in more
than Hyperion beauty"

Of the mine hours movement" and fears are
entertained that general strike is at hand
The operatives have addressed memorial TO
the association Of master builders, in which
they state that their sgitstion will not cease
until the mine hours boom has been conceded
In this memorial they say the operative
builders hours Of toll ''are at least equal to
the clerks and the warehouseman's, the dis
tsnee between his home and his place of work
is in general longer, his right to mental i'm
prOvement as sacred, his needs greater and the
claims Of his family to his personal superin-
tendeDce as obvious and urgent" They tell
the masters that the determination 10 secure
this amelioration is too deeply rooted in their
nearts for any amount Of resistance to turn
laem from their purpose, and that the chief
eheet OF any seventies 10 which they may be
exposed IN consequences Of this demand, will
