Scorbutic diseases are the parent stock
from which arises large. proportion of
the fatal maladles that af1iict mankind
They are as it were species of potato
rot In the human constitution, which un-
dermines and corrupts all the sources of
Its vitality and hastens its decay. They
are the germ from which spring, Con.
sumption, rheumatism. Heart Disease
Liver Complaints, and Eraptive Disease
which will be recognized as among those
most fatal and destructive to the races of
men. 80 dreadful are its consequences
to human life, that it is hardly possible
to over estimate the Importance of an ac.
tual, reliable remedy, that can sweep out
this Scrofulous contamination. We know
then we shall proclaim welcome news to
our readers Of one from such quarter
as will leave little doubt of its efficacy
and still more welcome, when we tell them
that 1t surely does accomplish the end
desired. We mean Ayers Sarsaparilla,
and 1t is certainly worthy the attention of
those who are afflicted with Scrofula or

Why we call Col. Davis Copperhead.

=
The following article from Col Davis
paper printed Aug. 80, 1864, shows the
Democratic candidate for Auditor Gener-
al to be Enthusiastically one of the mean
est Copperheads. Unionists don't fail
to read it over carefully before you vote
on next Tuesday.
"The Confederates contend that they
have made an agreement with the FEEDER
ais for the proper and speedy exchange
of prisoners; that they have faithfully
observed the provisions of it, and have
frequently proposed exchange on its ba-
sis. But Mr.. Lincoln says no. He will
permit the white soldiers of the North to
rot in the scorching sun, and the Federal
army to become skeleton, before he will
agree to an exchange which does not re-
cognize his tyranny and court his despot-
ic will.
''What is the consequence of Mr. Lin
coins refusal? The suffering of our
brave and gallant soldiers. They are left
to die on southern soil rather than relin
quish the policy of negro equality. The
Confederates are accused of inordinate
barbarity, in order to conceal the despo-
tism and criminal fanaticism of our Pres
ident. Let the soldiers remember that
Abraham Lincoln made solemn engage
mcnt for the exchange of prisoners of war,
and broke it because it did not include
negro soldiers, many of whom are runa-
way slaves of the South. Let them re-
member that all their sutferings and pri-
vations while in captivity we're necessi-
tated by the contracted policy of Mr.. Ein-
coin. Let them remember that their
rights, honor, and their liberty, are out
ragged on account of the negro, and done
by President of the United States.
"The negro is the idol of abolition
The whites may die in forts and prison
camps, because the negro is not recog-
nized as his equal by the Confederate
This fact proves that our present warfare
is weak fight for negro equality and
negro liberty. No evidence can be found
that we are fighting for reunion and the
Constitution. The war is perverted, and
the man guilty of the act presumptuously
asks the suffrages of the people and of
the soldiers in the army. Let the people
remember him. Let the wives aud chill
dren Of the prisoners of war recollect that
he is the fountain head of their sufferings;
and if they become widows and orphans,
that he is murderer Let the prison
ers remember him when they eat their
last scanty morsel and if the people of
this country are true to themselves aud
to our suffering soldiers, they will pro,
nounce him man
"Hated, despised scourged by two fold rod,
The scorn of millions and the curse of God"
The above is only sample of the nu-
merous productions of like character
that have appeared in that paper, during
the war

VOTERS !

The time for you to exercise the privi
lece Of voting for State Off GERS &c. is
rapidly approaching, and you are called
upon most earnestly by every principle Of
night and patriotism to vote for those
candidates who represent the Union par
ty, which, in no instance, was found want-
ing il our country's greatest need and
peril. For it was that party which had
uo allliation with traitors nor sympathy
with Jeff Davis and his vile crew.
1t was the Union party which talked
for the Union, wrote for the Union, vo-
ted lor the Union and fought for the T.
Mon, and saved it two. And while they
were doing this, who does not recollect
what the COpperhcads, or those rather
who call themselves Democrats were do
ing. They were opposing with all their
might by every device and trick the Uni
on party. Every measure adopted which
was calculated to cripple and crush the
traitors was denounced as unconstitution-
al or inhuman. To read their papers and
hear their speeches alone, you would have
thought that the Coppcrheads were stri
wing simply for law and order, and that
JEFF Davis, their right hand man. was
fighting for the Union and the mainte
nance Of the Constitution Such, as ey-
cry tolerably informed person knows, was
the burden of their song by night and by
day.
And now, to deceive the people and
specially catch the votes of the Soldiers,
this same COpperhead party, has nomina-
ted two soldiers for State officers, and one
Of whom is decided Gopperhead HIM
self, as glance at an article from his pa
per in another Column, will clearly show.
Yet he is just the kind Of gnioaist for
them. But neither of them deserves the
support of real Union men, for they have
allowed themselves to be used as cats
paws by the copperheads.
On the other hand, the Union party
have selected two noble and able soldiers
for the same Offices. Their Union record
like that of the party they represent, is
full aud perfect.
And now, voters, if you would have
true and tried UDionists to hold the off {
ces of auditor General aud Surveyor j
General, then vote for Gen. Hartranft
ind Col. Campbell Such is the plain c
iuty of every Unionist, and we trust all !
ineh will discharge it faithfully. Free
patriotism demands it. Is

Episcopal Service.

We learn that on Wednesday evening
last, the 9th Of September, there was
held at the West Union School House
near Saylorsburg, in this County, ser,
vice according TO the rites and liturgy OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church. The
Rev. W. B. Erben, of Philadelphia, the
Rev. S. f. Hotchkin, of Clarmont, Del,
and Rev. Leighton Coleman, of Whining
ton, Del, were the Clergymen who ofiici-
ated. They were spending some time at
Saylorsburg, and at the suggestion of
their host, this service was held. The
School House was full, and many persons
stood outside. 1t is the first time, we be
lieve, that any Episcopal minister has Of
hciated in the neighborhood, and we un-
derstand that the impression created a.
moDg the wOrshipers was most favorable
\ short address was delivered by Mr..
Erben, and sermon by Mr. Coleman.
Mr.. Hotchkin took part in the prayers.
The canticles of the Episcopal Church
were tuly chanted, and everything was
done, BY the distribution Of Prayer Books,
Sc., to render the service impressive.

The Agricultural Fair of Lehigh county

THE ABOLITION MEETING
saturday NIGHT.

We listened with great patience to the
speakers at the Abolition meeting, on
Saturday night last. The Hrst speaker
was q one-idead, half crazed abolition dem
agogue, whose name, we unders tand, is
Do0BEnRY. His remarks were but a
rehearsal Of what we read daily in aboli-
lion prints, namely, abuse Of Mr.. VALLAS
DiaHAM and gross Misrepresentation Of
he position of the Democratic party as
aneounced 10 their resolutions, adopted
By tho State Convention. The burden OF
hissopg was, that the Democracy were en-
smies Of the soldiers, and he thus expects.
By such silly twaddle, to whetdle the
brave boys-who have imperiled their
lives on many . CORY field in defense Of
,he Constitution and the Union, and not
for the Equality of the Ncgro,-into vo-
ting With the party which is now seeking
to degrade them to the level Of the IN
tutored black. Hear him =
seThe Democrats are tho same Teacher
oas copperhca ds they were during the ex-
istenes Of the rebellion" &c.
This miserable cant won't do. Soldiers
are MEN, not NIaoERs, to do the bidding
OF abolition masters. They read and
think for themselves, and the idea that
this venom, spit upon their parents and
friends by such pulling hyproerites as
DoGBERRY--will turn them from the
white mans party--the good old Demo
cratic party--is too absurd to think Of.
Soldiers, what do you think Of such
mani You did not know that your faith
esana brothers were such horrid men
did you? When you came home from
those tedious and tiresome marches, from
