Divine Right and Popular Rights.


MaximiIlian, it seems, does not claim
that he is to rule Mexico by Divine right;
but in his speech to the so-called Mexi-
can deputation, he has great deal to say
about the new doctrine of which certain
European tyrants are nova days eanting
the doctrine Of the rights Of the people
in the choice Of their rulers. He gives
in his adhesion to this doctrine no less
than thrice. He says he has come to the
conviction that "an overruling majority
Of the inhabitants Of Mexico" are resol-
we'd to have him for their emperor /; but
makes no allusion to the fcrty thousand
French bayonets and the large French
feet which have been and still are used
for keeping the Me1icans to that tesolu-
tion. He says that "Mexico is entitled
to select Government corresponding to
her wishes and requirement ; but makes
no reference to the fact that it is for that
privilege;the Mexicsns are still struggling
and that for this reason foreign soldiery
is waging a relentless war against them.
A third time he returns to the idea, when
he says that he "assumes the constitution
alpower instructed to him by the nation;'
sbui even here he makes no alusion t
the fact that he is engaged in raising

DIARRHGA AND DYSENTERY.-
we have examined q great number of letter.
from some of the most prominent citizens Of Cit
cinnati and Coyington, ETC., speaking in til,
highest terms of DR.. Strickland's Anti Cholers
Mixture for the cure ofdarrh9a and dysentery
The letters are to long too publish. Mr.. Woods
of Covington, says he was pronounced incura.
BILE by the best doctors in Cincinnati, and one
bottle of DR.. Strickland's Anti Cholera Mixture
effected permanent cure after suffering fol
months with the worst form of diarrhGa and
dysentcry.
Another says he discharged from the United
States service after suffering in the hospital fo
months as incurable, and as last resourc,
tried Strickland,s Anti. Cholera Mixture he go
well directly and has now entered the army a
gain in good health. One man writes he ha'
cured seven or eight very bad cases ofdiarrhGa
and dysentery in the barracks he was in with
one bottle of this valuable medicine. In fact
we could fill half our paper with similar items
from these letters. Why does not our govern
mcnt secure this valuable preparation. Oul
army ought to be supplied with it. 1t is but
short time ssnce one of our men laid in very
low condition at one of our Cincinnati Hospitals
his wife was sent for, the doctors consid
cred. his an hopeless case. She, however, gave
him Strickland's Anti, Cholera Mixture, and il
three weeks he was abld to return home witt
his wsfe to New Richmond, o. All these oases
right at home speak for themselves. we hope al
the soldiers will put bottle of it in their knap
sacks, it may save them or some of their com
rades. 1t is for sale by druggists at 50 cent
per bottle.

EXPLANATIONI-T0 THE PUBLICl

We hereby certify, that the undertaking Of the
Sanitary Military Homei Aid Association, Is
truly dminterested one. We have engaged the
property mentioned In the Programme, on COM
mission from very honest men, not of this town
and under liberal conditions for the benefit OF
our runderta king as stated in the Programme laid
before the General Assembly of Ohio, to assist
destitute soldiers, and their suffering families at
home throughout the Northern States.
II. We have no idea of making LOTTERY or
ANYTHING of the kind. Our agents will accept
as many honorary members as they can possibly
get, and the property will be afterwards given
to their order in proportion as stated in the Pro-
gramme, and all these honorary members may
then dispose Of it, by selling it as they may
choose
III. Rev. Andrew Herbstreitt, our General
Manager and Chief Commissioner, has no interest
in the matter, more than we have ourselves, only
to do something for the poor of all the loyal
States, of the Union. We elected him as well
known man, of strict conscience, fidelity, ability
and great energy, worthy of all trust in every
respect.
". We beg and request the honorable General
Assembly to Recommend this undertaking as
general benevolent Association for all loyal
States in general
V. Other reasons for which we appeal to the
General Assembly, are-that we look upon this
assembly as an honorable body of delegates from
the people, and we have no doubt, but thatea
and every one is willing to do all in his power,
for the public welfare. And we do not believe
that mere benevolent association ever before,
under such circumstances, appealed to the AS
sembly, nor that mere open-handed or kinder
offer ever has been made; and further, We think
it as loyal and patriotic an undertaking as can
be got up; and it would scarcely be crime to
denounce men who oppose IL, as enemies to the
peoples welfare; as enemies of the soldier, and
as enemies Of the poor at home, and to be disloyal
and unpatriotic men. tFa
We bind ourselves tostand firm, as an honored
body, and to fulfil faithfully, every obligation
| of the above named Association.
The Sanitary Military Union Home Aid As
sociation, is now preparing for q large and ex-
censive Fair, or Exhibition, to be held at Wapa
