evening Our town is celebrated for giving good
bouses to exhibitions of all kinds. Many of them,

One of the Humanitarian Movements Of
our Times although little known as such, can
hardly be oveI-estimaed in its Importance upon the
we'll being of our widely scattered communities
The population of the American States is in many
sections sparse, that skful physicians are hardly
available to them Vast numbers of our people,
are obliged 10 employ in sickness, such medical
relief as they can bear of from each other or indeed
any they can get from any quarter. Hence arises
the great co assumption of Patent Medicines among
US greater by far than in any of the old countries,
where skilful ply sicans accessible to ali classes
Unprincipled men have long availdd themselves OF
this necessity to palm off their worthless no strums
until the word has become synonymous with imposi-
ton and cheat One Of our leading Chemists in the
East DIR, AVER, is pursuing course which defeats
this iniauty. He briags not only his own. but the
best skill of our times to bear for the production of
the best remedies which be made. These are
supplies to the world, in q convenient form, at low
price. and the people will no more buy poor medl
cines instead of good, at the ame cost, than they
will bran instead of -four. The inevitable conse-
oucnce of this is that the vile compounds that flood
cur country are discarded for those which honestly,
accomrlish the end in vIew,-which cure. Do we

prospect of supplantirg the by-word medicines, with

ton of qualifications prevailed with regard
TO the officers who were to be chosen. The
Constitution Of the United States recogni-
zes those diversities when it enjoins that,
in the choice of members OF the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES of the United States, "the
electors in each State shall have the quail
fication reuu site for the electors OF the most
numerous branch of the State Legislature.
After the formation of the Constitution, 1t
remained, as before, the uniform usage tor
each State to enlarge the body of its electors
according to its own judgment and, under
his system, one State after another has pro.
ceeded to increase the number ofits electors
until now universal suffrage, or something
very near it, is the general rule. So fixed
was this reservation ofpower IN the habits
of the people, and so unquestloned has been
the Interpretation of the Constitution, that
during the vivid war the late President nev-
er harbored the purpose-certainly never
avowed the purpose-of disregarding 1t;
and ia the acts of Congress, during that
period, nothing canbe found which, during
the continuance of hostilities, much. less at
ter their close, would have sanctioned any
departure by the Executive from policy
which has so uuifomly obtained. Moreover,
a concession of the elective franchise to the
freedmen by act of the President ofthe Uni
ted States. must have been extended to all
colored men, wherever found, and so must
have established change OF suffrage in
the Northern, Middle and Western States,
! not less than in the Southern and South
western. Such an act would have created
a new class of voter, and would have been
an assumption of power by the President
which nothing in the Constitution or laws
| of the United States would have warrant
| ed
On the other hand, every danger of con,
| fict is avoided when the settlement OF the
question is referred to the several States
They can, each for itself, decide On the
measure, and whether 1t is to be adopted at
once and absolutely, Or introduced gradual
ly and with conditions. In my judgment
the freedmen, if they show patience and
manly virtues, will sooner obrain partic-
ipaton in the elective franchise through
the States than through the General Gov
ernment, even if it had the power to inter-
vene. When the tumult or emotions that
have been raised by the suddenuess of the
social change shall have subsided, 1t may
prove that they will recivee the kindllest
usage from some of those on whom they

as understand tn, time tina t when you
were neither politician or an editor II
so, and when you expected to meet an ap-
proving smile in return for your pains, ,you
have met with frowns and reproaches in
stead, then you can perhaps form faint
idea of my present situation For | have
found to my sorrow that the people Of
Forkston-the place of my last writing
are like the man we have read Of who
found huge ingot of gold to large for him
to manage alone, and rather than share it
with others, watched his useless treasure
until he died with hunger Instead of Civ
ing me the thanks that were really due me
for making the discovery of their hidden
treasures known to the world, they heap
curses upon my ancient and venerable head,
for inviting, as they say, to their midst a
swarm ofgreedy speculator to deface the
beauties of nature aud to corrupt the morals
cf their people. Loud were the anathe-
mas, and bitter the curses uttered against
the sneaking old Iseralite, and well it was
for my Abrahamic brethcren that none of
them wandered in that direction. With
feelings of pity for the, ,ungrate ful gentiles, /
Shook the dust from my feet and turned my
back upon the gates of their city.
Wo unto ye gentiles, think not thus to
escape full retribution for the tine shall
come when thou will be overrun with op-
orators, and greenbacks in great profusion
shall be showered upon you.
To their fate / left them, and renewed my
wanderings along the classic banks of the
Mehoopany. At length being somewhat
wearied and feeling in mood for contem-
plating the scenes around me, seated up
on an inviting spot, and watched the hurry
ing waters as they rushed by on their cease
less journey. / had been thus employed
but short time when looking up l saw
man approaching, seated upon wagonpre-
ceeded by cigar, and followed by huge
load of the fruits of the slaughter; the
smoke from his cigar, which foated around
his head, hid his face from my view until
he came very near, when to my great joy
| discovered him to be, an old friend and
fellow Iseralite, who kindly offered me seat
by his side to help me along on my jour
ney. | was much interesed in his constant
talking but my admiration for the noble
spirit of the man knew no bounds when he
Informed me that he was travelling over the
country for the pbilanthropic purpose OF
ridding the people of their commodities
and paying them in return much more
than he could expect to realize for them
himself truly we were fellow sufferers, for
his good intentions are no more appreciat-
ed by the people than are my own.
