1T CURES so QUICK.

Radway's Ready Relief, whether applied ex-
ternaly or taken internally, acts at once; there
is no delay, but it instantly fulills its mission
of relieving the patient of pain annd discom-
fort.
A highly respectable lady of the city of New
York while mailing down some carpets run a
small carpet tack in her knee and shifted the
pan. For two years she was laid up cripple,
spent upwards Of TWO THOUSAND DOL
LARS WITHOUT DERIVING ANY BEN
EFT. She was advised by nurse to use
Railways Ready Relief; the first application
gave her case, one weeks use made perfect
cure. Had this lady tried the Ready Relief
when the injury happened, she would have es-
capped the painful suffering of two years .dura-
ton, and saved two thousand dollars Bear in
mind, that Radway's Ready Relief will prove
its marvellous efficacy at once in all cases where
pain is experienced whether Rhematism, Lum-
bago, Gout, Neuralgia, Burns, Scalds, Bruises,
Wounds, or Diarrhna Dysentery, Diptharia,
Influenza, Sore Threat, Hoarseness, Colds. Let

Trouble Among the "Loyalists."

There is serious discomfort, and no small
amount of caterwauling among the various
cliques of the friends of number of the abolition
candidates for the Presidency. They accuse
Mr.. Lincoln of foul play, and say that he in
stigated the organization of the Loyal Leagues,
and appointed their members to office with the
ulterior purpose manifested in the seemingly spon-
taneous nomination for his reelection now being
echoed all over the North. Some important
developments are taking place concerning the
coming canvas. While State after State seemed
to be coming in for the denomination of Mr.. Lin
coin commencement of unusual strength
is springing up. The significant letter of Speak
er Colfax, declining to commit himself to the
fortunes of the present occupant of the White
House, has emboldened others, and the current
dodge of theopponents of Mr. Lincoln is, "Wait
till the rebellion is put down. then there will be
time enough to talk of the next President" But
the factis, these same persons are working in
the interest of Mr.. Chase, General Fremont,
General Butler and other noted Republican
aspirants for the Presidential nomination. Two
new names have recently been added to the
list-Gens. Banks and Sickles. Greely, with
the Tribune interest, and all the leaders of the
extreme radical party, are known to be strongly
inmical to the denomination of Lincoln. Lit
tic knots of political suckers around the county
are engaged in nominating ''Old Abe and he
is apparently ahead in the affections of lis par
ty, but he certainly has tho majority of the ac-
tive leaders opposed to him, and they may yet
prevent his denomination. Gen. Fremont has
a great many supporters, especially among the
western radicals, and they state that he will
certainly run as an independent candidate in
case Lincoln should be formally renominated by
the Republican National Convention. In short,
he is bound TO have another run. To forward
the fortunes Of Fremont new paper entitled
tho 'Publicist' is shortly to be started in Now
York, and campaign paper, the Pathfinder
both Of which will ardently support tha claims
of the first man who ever issued an emapcipa-
tion proclamation. Lincoln certainly has treu-

The Draft.

'.How are we to get clear of the draft ?"
"How about the draft 2"--''I am poor
ellis father and mother are both dependent
upon him." &C., &c. So runs the long line
of questions and anxious expressions of the
people about this dreaded draft. The Re-
publicans, Abolitionists, Democrats, Cop
perheads and all join in the lamentation.
The draft is now postponed again until
the first of April-just as we supposed, all
the time, but hardly dare say so, lest it
might be considered that we were discour-
aging enlistments. But why hold this dread
ed affair over the people; is it to scare them
into enlisting9 1t looks like it. The secret
of raising armies is at last discovered: and
that is i'll the green-back system. Why
not now at.once then say we will have no
more drafting, but rely upon this, the only
system of raising men for this war. The
people all want to get clear of the draft
The authorities don't want to let them, il
appears. We have no difficulty in finding
out the way to get rid Of it. The wonder
is that all the people don't see it. 1t is the
only way to dispose Of it.: We mean, tc
vote the Democratic ticket.

The Spring Campain.

The serious disaster which has befaen our
armies in Florida is, unfortunately, cause for
apprehension quite as much as for regret. If
it were by an inevitable accident that hundreds
of brave men--how many hundred General
GIr1MoRE does NOT permit us to know-had
been lost, we might accept the fact as one of
the necessary incidents Of great war; but
unfortunately the movement which has resulted
SO disastrously, seems to be part Of o plan
which threatens TO end in our discomfture.--
The shameless avowals of MIR. Lincoln and Mr..
Sumner to Dr. Massie justify US in believing
that the war has been wantonly protracted in
order to enable them to carry out their schemes
of negro equality; and many instances can be

''CoMtNG Down TO Dors."-Secretary Chase
is a close calculator. He figures up the nation
al debt for thc next two years as accurately as
the astronomers calculate the return of Dona atls
Comet, which is to be back again upon cer-
tain day, hour and minute sometime about the
year 5000. Our debt on the 1st of July, 1864,
is to be S1,6S6, ,956,64l "A, and on the 30th
OF Juue, 1865, it will amount to $2,231 1885,
100, 81. Just two billion, two hundred and
thirty lone million, nine hundred and thirty-fve
thousand, one hundred and ninety dollars--aad
thirty seven cents! Now, swe can stand the bill
lions and the millions, but tho tacking of ''the
thirty-seven cents to them forming a sor. of a
cracker to tho whip, is what gives the sting
to the Secretarys long lash of figures. But
it shows what u glorious thing arithmetic Is
What would have become of these thirty seven
cents if there had been no arithmetic to cypher
them out, stick them there, and let the nation

Can the Republican Party Restore
the Union? y


1t behooves every enlightened friend Of
the country to see to this, which is the most
important practical question involved in the
presidential election, is not eclipsed by su-
bordinate or irrelevant issues. If we allow
tfstaRsYafD tfst Dt8 be drawn INTO a!scass02s s M1a
with slavery after the war, we virtually con-
cede that they can bring the war TO such a
conclusion as will give them control of the
subject. 1t is contrary to our belief that
the war, as eo-.ducted by them, will ever
lead to such result. IF the philosopher
who pretended to extract sunbeams from
cucumbers could have engaged his adver-
saries in q controversy as to the best mode
of bottling the sunshine, he would have
gained over their unwariness an implied adj
mission of the possibility of his primary
exploit. On the abolition question we will
be as liberal with the black Republicans as
they can wish. We will concede all they
ask as to the size and shape of the bottles
and the way they shall be sealed; at least
until they have succeeded in the prelimina-
ry experiment and have actually produced
the sunbeams. The wholesale confscation
Of southern property with which they amuse
their diabolical imaginations will be possi-
bic only after the war has been brought to
a successful termination. To occupy pub
lie attention with such scheme now is an
impertinence which would be simply child
ish, did it not serve to delude the country
into false expectations.
The main question for the people to de-
eide in this election is, whether the Repub-
ican panty has given evidence, during the
presidential term soon to expire, of ability
and capacity to restore the Union. They
have not been stinted in men nor scanted in
means; no government ever before welded
such immense resources. If they have not
succeeded they cannot plead that they have
not had a fair trial. Money, men, the COM
mand Of the sea, new and surprising inven-
tions in naval architecture and in gunnery,
the advantage of operating against people
whose main industry was exerted in pro-
ducing great article Of foreign export, and
whose first necessity is foreign market,
and this people hcmmed in by a blockade,
without navy or resources to create one
with this extraordinary combination of ad-
vantages the administration has failed only
by reason of its imbecility.
1t may be said, indeed, that our arms
have made great progress. But who, with
out renounciag all claims to solidity Of judg-
ment, can say that this progress has been
at all proportionate to its cost9 East of the
Alleghanies, the war has been, on the whole,
sad failure. We have made few inden-
fations into the rind of the rebellion on the
Atlantic slope; but Richmond and Charles
ton still bid us defiance, and the vast belt
of territory stretching from the Potomac to
Cape Sable remains, With the exception of
