Ague Cure.

foR THE sFEEDf CURE OF
Intermittent Fever or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Aguo, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers; indeed
for the whole Class of Diseases origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of niasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the no
cessities of the American people than sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such a remedy
! we are now enabled TO offer, with perfect GER
tainty that it will eradicate the disease. and with
assurance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be of immense service in the commu-
mites where it prevails. Prerention is better
than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which
he must run in violent attacks of this baleful
distcmper. This CURE cxpcls the MAS
matte poison of FEVER AND AGUE from tho
system, and prevents the Development of the
disease, If taken on the first approach Of its pre-
monitory symptoms. Ii is not only the best
remedy ever vet discovered for this class Of COM
plants, but also the cheapest. The large guam
tty We supply for IL dollar brings it within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts,
where FEVER AND AGuE prevails. every body
| should have 1t, and use il freely, both for cure
and protection. 1t is hoped this price will place
it within the reach of all the poor well Us the
rich. a great superiority Of this remedy over
any other ever discovered for the speedy and
certain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinne or mineral. consequently it produces
no quinism or other in urious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured by it are
left as healthy as if they had never had the dis
case

Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie Paralysis,
and Dcrapgement OF the Stomach, all Of which,
when originating in this cause, put on the inter

expels the poison from the blood and conse-
lucntly cures them all alike. 1t is an invalua-

The UNION NOT TO Re RESTORED. 1t
cannot be denied that the more ultra
Republicans do not desire to see the
Union reconstructed. They regard slave
~ as an objectionable sin, and have ex-
pressed their hostility to the institution
in every form and declared their unaltera-
BILE determination to not live in the same
Union with Shareholders. A Constitution
that recognizes slavery they abhor. The
Boston correspondent of the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican, scouts the idea that
the Union is to be restored, and intimates
that the Republican party, with the Pres
ident at its head, considers its restoration
impossible. We quote the following ex-
tract from his letter:
"The restoration Of the old Union is
and admitted to be so practi-
cally, by everybody, including Mr.. Lin
coin himself Some purpose great changes
in the boundaries of States, and do not
understand that Mr.. Lincoln objects to the
proposition. Virginia is already, diSmem.
bered; Tennessee is liable to be cut in
pieces at any time; Delaware is to be en-
larged, and SO on. The exigencies of the
var may make the absolute extinguish-
ment Of half dozen rebel States, as polit-
i:al organizations, as necessary. FIOriOIG
may get be ceded back to Spain. and Ter.
az to AericO. The old Union poh I!
poh J. it is thing Of the past To call a
man disunionist who is not in favor of
allowing things to be restored to the con-
dition they were in before the election of
1860, is very poor and cheap and harm
less nonsense"

STARTLING FACrs.-The people should
ever bear these startling facts in mind. 1t
is a fact that corruption VIGOROUSLY
abounds in Washington, City. 1t is a
fact that it is practiced and tolerated by
members Of the Cabinet, and allowed and
justified in all branches of the Govern
ment. 1t is fact that Republican Con-
gressonal Committee, on the sworn testi-
mony of Republican witnesses, have ex.
posed the most audaciouS and unparalleled
frauds. 1t is fact that not one man has
been remored from office on account Of
fraud or cOrrnptton, though thousands
have for being Democrats. 1t is fact that
no one has yet been made to restore what
he has stolen from the treasury. although
hundreds have been found guilty. 1t is
fact that the greatest scoundrel OF the
"graceleSs pack of thieves" has been sent
on foreign mission, carrying with him
the Presidents Endorsement of his "abili-
ty, patriotism and fidelity to public trust"
1t is a fact that all these disgraceful things
are well known, and yet California Lee
giSlature has indorsed the "wiSe and eff
cent policy Of the present National Ad'
miniStration," and bogus Democrats laud
its honesty!
The weekly mountain Democrat. [volume] (Placerville, El Dorado County, Calif.) 1861-1862, 1862-04-19

STRONG LANGUAGE.-Th Albany Ar
gus, the old and unflinching organ of the
Democracy of New York, speaking of the
Republican party, says: "Thc selfish
ness, avarice, ambition, extravaganza and
tyranny of the party now in power, have
infinitely exceeded anything in the annals
of Democracy, and will render the pres
ent dynasty a monument and beacon OF
intdmy in all future time" The Argus
supported Douglas for the Presidency,
and has always stood in the front rank
of Democratic journals. DO the Union
Democrats" of California agree with the
Argus' Certainly not. They applaud
the acts of the selfish, avaricious, ambi-
tons, cxtravagant, corrupt and tyranni-
ca! Republican party" which has erected
for itself monument Of infamy."
The weekly mountain Democrat. [volume] (Placerville, El Dorado County, Calif.) 1861-1862, 1862-04-19

GLORIOUS NEws.-We have the most
cheering accounts of the late election in
New York for town officers. The De-
mocracy gained largely in every county
in the State and carried a majority Of
them. The stale cry of secessionists"
was used against the Democratic candi-
dates, but it had no effect with the peo-
pie. The word is only used now by fools
and knaveS and the menials of the Repub.
lican party Cor the sole purpose of injuring
and defeating the Democratic party. The
people understand this, and are not to be
deceived by the senseless cry. In allu-
ding to the Democratic triumph in the
city of Utica, the Albany argus says:
The Democrats Of Utica, as we anaoun-
ced last week, have achieved a splendid
victory, on a fair issue between the edi-
tors Of the Democratic and Republican
papers in that city. We think the Her.
aid, whose editor has been thus defeated,
will probably conclude that the Democrats
are not secessioniSts, as he has charged, or
that secession is popular in that locality"

TRuTH.-Truth is always consistent
with itself, and needs nothing to help il
out; it is always near at hand and sits
upon your lips, and is ready to drop out
before you are aware; whereas, lie is
troublesome, and sets mans invention
on the rack-one trick needs a great ma.
ny more to make it good. Truth can
live in all regions. flourish in all soils, and
become naturalized in all climeS.
