THE WHITE PINE.

1t has long been known that this tree contained
nay excellent medical qualities but it ia only of
parativey recent dae that they have been analysed
and combined into remedies for popular use. DR.. j.
w. Poland-formerly clergyman OF high repute-a
few years since prepared such medicine, which he
called the "White Pine Compound and SO eficacious
has it proved in all throat lung and kidney Diseases
wherever it has been used, that the popular demand
for il rapidly increased until the discoverer obliged
to devote his whole attention to the business of pre-
pairing it for the MARKET and it stands in the front
rank among the medical specifics of the day. DIR.

The presence of Gen. Grant at "the
right hand' of the President has very
worrying effect on the radicals. At first
it was said the old hero was there by COM
mand Of his Chief, the President, but that
reason has worn itself out, and now init
nations of "disloyalty'' are beginning to
be faint-lined in the organs of Congress-
A week more will bring palmer charges,
and in month we expect to see the illus
trious heads of the army and of the navy,
burned in efigy by those who were but
lately their ardent admirers. Prayers will
be offered up, probably, that "the Lord
will remove them in his own good time
and make way for better men," This was
the course pursued by them toward Lin
coin; it is substantially what they ask for
johnson and Seward, and tits only ques-
ton of time-brief at that-till Grant and
Farragut will be prayed for in the same
kind, respectful and patriotic manner

The Philadelphia Convention and Our
National Credit I'm Europe.
During our war it was the great theme
Of remark by our enemies in Europe, in
the press, in public meetings, and in de-
Lucrative assemblies, that even if the Uni
ted States should be successful in repress-
ing the formidable instruction of the COM
bined Southern States, the feeling of ami
mostly and of hatred that must remain,
would put the National debt created by
the war upon a perilous footing, as par
ty of reputation was surely to be sup
ported by the united vote of the SOUTH
There were and even are now, in Europe,
among her statesmen, practical financiers
and enterprising capitalists, some who en-
terrain the same fear, and look upon our
National securities with distrust.
The result of the Philadelphia Convention
will completely dispcl this fear and this
distrust. When it is reported in Europe
that the best minds and the most influcn-
tial men of the South, assembling with
their reconciled brethren from the North,
meet in joint convention in Northern
city and unanimously assent that the obi
CATION to pay the great public debt, crea-
ted by the war against them, shall hereaf-
ter and forever be held SACRED and inyio-
table," when it shall be known, that the
representative men of the South, with an
unanimity rs honorable as it was unex-
pected, agreed to the declaration in the
Convention, it will at once be conceded
throughout the length and breadth of the
Old World, that the people of the United
States are once more closely united in feel
ing as well as in law, and that there can
be no doubt that our debt-the represen-
tative of which is largely held in Europe
is beyond all possible danger Of rcpu-
diation.
This resolve and this result of the Con-
vention, in thus confirming the public
credit of the nation, is worth hundreds OF
millions to the taxpayers of the United
States. Let the tax-paying community
bear these facts in mind.

Merchants Union Express.


This newly organized and powerful conn.,
pany, embracing as stockholders, the lead
ing shippers and mercantile men Of all our
cities, is about ready to commence bust
ness at McGregor. Evans, Rowland &
Jones have rented the company the large
east room of their new brick, the building
to be ready for use on the LIST of October.
We were called upon on Saturday by Geo.
B. Goodwin, Esq, the attorney for the
Merchants Express. A very companion
able and very competent officer is Mr..
Goodwin. An affable conversationalist ;
a thorough acquaintance with the minutia
of the business in which he is engaged !;
thoroughly posted in all legal forms and
requirements incident to the founding of a
great enterprise, we do not wonder his
services have been thus early secured
John Nazro ESQ.,, of Milwaukee, is Trust
ee for the State of Wisconsin. r. John
son formerly Supt. of the U. S. Express
and very favorably known throughout the
west, is ticketed as Supt. of the Mer-
chants at Chicago; in charge of
the Western Division. NJ. Scely Ct New
York, is the General Manager. Scely ac-
companicd Mr.. Goodwin as far as Madi-
son, in the business of arranging with the
western lines Of transportation, connec-
tons &C., &c. The capital is 90 millions
and all taken over two millions paid in
and the stock already at o premium
As shippers alone are the original stock
holders, it makes this company mutual
affair-eyery merchant being interested in
it's success. ua
We are glad to have "station" among
us and we predict for it success hardly
anticipated by its most sauguine sup
portcrs. ~

Col. With your permission, a word or
two. An obscure radical organ promul-
gateth as You read: ~ .
"Judas Iscariot betrayed his master for
thirty pieces of silver; and A. w. Randall
betrayed the republican party for posi-
ton in Johnson's cabinet"
Heinous crime! Can man in this age
be so bad? What! betrayed the repub-
lican party?" Must be mistake. No
sound minded man could do so. A man
who would not stick to the republican par
ty ought to be kicked to death by a jackass.
and Id like to see that editor at it. He'd
do good job, no doubt. A most heart
less crime; unnatural; revolving in the
highest degree. Judas betrayal Of Christ
was nowhere by the side of it. The new
Postmaster General has probably not yet
learned that the price of treason is death,
and that it is treason to "betray the re-
publican party" Bow your bald head for
very shame, Mr.. Randall, your name will

Changing the subject, I'd like to trouble
you little further, COL, but not long A
resolution was introduced in the U. s. Sem
ate approrriating $4,000 for a full-length
statue of Lincoln, to he placed in the cap
itol, which passed in defiance of the oppo-
sition of Senators Sumner, Howard,
Edwards, ct. al, on the grounds of econo-
my and art. l rather think this is the first
time for the last five years that any of
these bigots have been seized with cos
tiveness of economy. They exhibited
extreme proneness to laxity but the day
previous, when making excessive appro-
priations to fill their own pockets at1he
expence of people already staggering un-
der the burden Of oppressive taxation.-
But the real objection urged by them was
that the statue was to be executed by a
'cestern artist; a young lady of Wis.,
believe. They rolled their eyes as if un-
dergoing excrutiating pain in the bowels at
the idea of sc-e-s-t-e-r-m artist being en-
ployed for the work. She couldn't do JUS
tice; hadn't the experience or judgment
couldn't interpret the character of Lincoln
hadn't brains enough; wasn't ripe. They
could bestow the money thro' charity,
but not otherwise, willingly. When the

They seem to have an idea that Art and
Science must remain over the seas at least
not venture over the granite hills of their

candidate for this work none of these old
fogies of the east would have opened their
maws; but when a really gifted, graceful

parents in the VESTS talked about, they

their hands in holy horror. And why

We wish to call the attention of our rea-
dcrs to the necessity of keeping stock in
good condition, as the best preventive of
disease. And we wish to speak more par
ticularly now about Sloan's Improved Con-
dition Powders, the great standard Horse
and Cattle medicine of this country. We
feel perfectly safe in saying, that if Sloan's
Conditien Powders had been known and
used in England where the cattle plague
has recently held its carnival, there would
not have been one tenth part the fatality
that there has already been. It is we'll
known fact that Sloan's Condition Powders
have always given entire satisfaction to far
mers and stock raisers which no other prep
aration can do or claims to do. No farmer
should be put off with a substitute, but in
sist on getting the genuine Sloan's Pow
ders, which arc known and reliable. We
say to all, buy and use Sloans Condition
Powders, and you will always have sound
and healthy stock.-Sparta Eagle, June 9th.
