PRESIDENT JOHNSON does not want,
he says, "the South to come back
eviscerated of its manhood" Some Of
the Southern Conventions DO not relish
the idea of repudiating the debt, con-
tracted by their states, or of ratifying
the Abolition amendment. But Pres
ident Johnson tells them they must do
those things before they can be fully
restored to their former relations with
the Federal Government. So, if they
want to be restored, )" they must swal-
low those Presidential doses. 1t strikes
us that if those pills are not strong e.
nough physic to 'eviscerate them oftheir
manhood theirentrails must be made

IT is now said that the Federal Ar
my numbers $4,000 men, of all arms.
What is the meaning of this immense
standing army? The forces hostile to
the gOvernmentlaid down their arms
six months ago, and we are ostensibly
at peace with The whole world. 1t
seems as though the Chicago platform,
in asserting our four years Of war to
have been a failure, is not so far wrong
after all; for, it is acknowledged by
our political opponents that the Union
has not been restored, and the very fact
that a standing army Of 10000 men is
required to keepthe peace, itself proves
that the war, though successful in brea-
king the military power of the South,
has failed to settle the troubles of the
country. Thus is the Democratic doe
trine verified.

Our daily experience confirms their very superior
excellence. At this moment of writing, man ap-
plies for one who, by entanglement in the shaft Of
machinery, had both his legs broken spine severe
ly injured, and for nearly year entirely help
less. This man found relief very soon by the ap-
plication of plaster to his spine He was soon
enabled to work, and now he labors as we'll as ever.
He would cheerfully pay s. for single plaster If
they could not be had at lower rate | am sur
prlsed that surgeons do not make use of these per-
torated pasters to the exclusion of all Others, as
their hexbility and adhesveness are greatly in ad-
vance of all other plasters with which l am ac-
quainted; while the pertorations peculiar to them
rendered them greatly superior to all others for or
binary surgical uses. Knowing the Plasters to be
so useful, have no scruples that my sentiments
should be known. j. w JOHNSON, NJ d.
