sons who are troubled with it. Nothing is more
simple than to remove this odor much more eff

is only necessary to procure some compound

How it Works,

The Union party have held Con-
ventions in four 6fthe Districts in
this State, and a primary election in
another. In the four districts in
which Conventions have been held
the second, third, fourth and seventh
gallant soldiers have been nominal
ed as the candidates of the party for
Congress. In the Fifth District, after
an animated contest, GEORGE w. JU-
LIAM was nominated by a vote of the
people. This result is attributed to
the large Quaker vote in that Dis
trict, which he has controlled for
years, and which, no, doubt, he cor
rectly represents.
The Copperheads have held Con-
ventions in the third, fourth and
seventh Districts, and CiuJ every finf
stance the claims of soldiers have been
ignored, and Peace Democrats nom
mated. In the Third District, HAIR
RINGToN, in the Fourth. HOLMAN,
and in the Seventh, CLAYPooL, none
of whom identified themselves promi-
nently with the friends of the Govern
nentl when they were struggling to
put down rebellion, have been chosen
as the standard bearers of the Con-
federate Democracy in those districts.
It is true these gentlemen are not
Democrats of the MILLIGAN stripe.
The districts in which they are NOM
mated are doubtful districts, and it
would be bad policy to nominate
candidates who had so fully identified
themselves with the Southern Con-
federacy as has Mr.. MILLIGAN. But
the party revolts at the idea of ten
dering soldiers, who have fought
against rebels, the highest positions
on their tickets. Now and then they
concede minor place on their tickets
for subordinate county positions,
where the result is doubtful at best,
to men who have been in the army;
but when this is done, the men are
expected in some way to cast re-
proach upon their career as soldiers,
before they are regarded as altogether
acceptable.
The above fact is commended to the
careful consideration of the boys who
fought on the right side.

StraNs.

One of the candidates of the Democracy
4 of Henry County is discharged rebel sol.
/ dier. We are told that this is his especial
claim for office; that he uses his discharge
papers as an electioneering document, and
4 says he expects to be elected by their
4 agency. i ntulirs f
At county meeting held at Shelbyville
! on Monday last, one of the Democrats pres
/ ent gave an enthusiastic cheer for John c..
Breckenridge, which was responded to with
the greatest enthusiasm by the Democratic
crowd. Another one yelled out, Lincoln
is dead and in hell" This infamous senti-
ment was also rapturously applauded.
The Democracy of Clarke County, at a
! late convention held at Winchester, NOM
mated as their candidates for five of the
most prominent county offices returned
rebel soldiers. In Bath County, we are
told, they have done likewise.
The Maysville Eagle is informed that in
case of the election of the Democratic can
dldate for the Sheriffalty, he will appoint
as his Deputy one of Pete Everett's men,
who, during the rebel occupation of Ken
lucky, went into Maysville, and holding a
pistol to a ladys head, demanded her hus-
bands gun.
One of the Secretaries of the LIST of May
Convention, in his card declining the race
for County Attorney of Daviess County in
favor OF certain men who, he says, made
sacrifices for the Confederate cause, which
did not make,'' thus advises his fellow
citizens: urge the adrtsdbiJity Of repudi-
atiag the public debt and passing a general
bankrupt Ldi0 for g1'iUate citizens. There is no
dish0n0T in refusing to lqltiddte debt lchieh
the people acre duerse to contracting, and
ecitieh incurred for the a'lhoIy purpose Of
prosecuting tCar against sovereign States"
