Messrs. Rad,cay DE- Co.:
Three years ago my youngest boy, now sixteen
years old, was taken with the Infammatory Rheu-
matsm, AID was confined to his bed for nearly six
months, after which he was enabled to get about
on crutches--in the mean time running sores COM
menced ON his arms and legs, and little pieces of
homes would work out of the sores. When you
sent me the medicine last fall Twas induced to try
your Resolvent; at that time had little hopes of
its doing him any good, as had tried all the best
doctors in this country, and several different kinds
of patent medicines, without effect; after using
two bottles very perceptible change for the bet
ter was, apparent. He is daily getting stronger,
and look upon his final recovery as certsin. The
medicine acts upon the system, driving the foul
humors to the outside in small Jumps, as big as
hazel nuts, causing them to disappear, and HEAL.

Great Copperhead Leader Of the Rev
e.@ Oluti0n,

+ On the Goth of October, 1880. while the
war of the Revolution was progr essing,
Benedict drnod issued Proclamation to
the citizens and soldiers of the United
States" appealing to turn against WASH
INGToN, HANCOCK and their compatriots.
Just as certain politicians are now appeal
ing to turn against the Government. The
following extract from that Copperhead
address. bears resemblance so near to the
appeals now made in the name of -"De-
mecracy." that the latter seem to have
copied its words as well as spirit. Arnold
says:
"You are promised liberty by the lead
ers Of your affairs, butts there an individ-
ual in the enjoyment of it. saving your OPP
pressors? Who among you dare dare
speak or write what he thinlseagainst the
tyranny which has robbed you of your prop
erty. imprisoned youi sons, dragged you to
the field of battle. and is daily deluging
your. country NTH your blood"
What an excellent leader the author of
this would be for those who now denounce
the Tyranny" of our "oppressors. ''ar-
bisary arrests" "bnrdens Of taxation. !"
del What pity, that our fathers did
not listen to his advice. and "stop the
war. - as Democratic" politicians insist
must be done now!-I'oledo Blade.

orator of Brown County, in this State,
having been charged with indirect compile
ity..with,the unfortunate affair in that Coun-
ty. in which Lewis Prosser killed Ser
geant Daniels, writes letter to the State
Sentinel. in which occurs the following
paragraph: .e t ,4,set ~

Here we have the direct admission from
a Democratic leader that the Democrats in
his County, while on their way to Demo
cratic meeting to be addressed by himself.
'cheered for JEFF Dsvis;'' and that the
cheering was not done in fun, but express
ed their real feelings. is evidenced by the
fact of his adding that they ''savasely a
bused'' him for speaking disrespectfully Of
the person for whom they were cheering.
And when Mr.. Hester says that he ode
nonnced the practice Of cheering him, ("
(Jef. Davis. we have the right to infer
that the "practicO" is quite common with
the Democrats Of Brown County. Mr..
Hester, in the same letter, says he has been
misrepresented becasue ''he has ranged
himself along side of the Democracy with
whom be has acted ever since he had a
vote" But according to his own edmis
sions he is keeping very bad company.
and he should remember that "a man is
known by the company he keeps" If he
wishes to be thought loyal, he should sever
mis- connection with admitted disloyal men.
The same number OF the Sentinel which
contains Mr.. Hester's letter. editorially
says that ''the Democracy of Brown Coun-
ty are largely in the ascendant. and no
people are more patriotic and faithful to
the Government" According to the svi-
dence Of Mr. Hester. who still fellowships
with them. they ''chser for jeff Davis, ="
and "savagely abuse" persons who speak
disrespectfully of him. And this is the
Sentinel's idea OF being "patriotic and
faithful to the Government" The Sem
tinel doubtless means ITO the Govern
msnt" OF JEFF Davis, and with this con-
struciion they are undoubtedly as "patri-
otic" and faithful" as the Editor him
self.--.So. Bend Reg.
