DEMOCRATIC FRIENDSHIP FOR THE

The height Of impudenco Is touched by
the last resolution of the New York Dem.
ocrntic Convention. expressing "proiound
gratitude" to the soldiers Of the wnr.
Those soldiers know better than any ono
else what kind Of friend TO them the Dem.
ocrntic party was during the war;
The Union soldiers remember very well
that II was Democratic Secretary Of War
who put hundreds of thousands Of arms
and tons of ammunition into the hands Of
rebels.
Tho Union sailors have not forgotten
that il was Democratic Secretary of the
Navy who sent all the national ships ont Of
reach.
The soldiers and sailors remember that
they were Democratic leaders who told the
rebels that war should not be confined to
the South.
They remember That it was the Demo.
cratic papers and orators who called the
Union army and navy Lincoln hirelings,"
" ,ninions of satrup," and "bummers."
They rememcer that it was the samo
Democratic authorities which called the
summons to arms "usurpation" and "tyr-
auny."
They know that they were Democrats
who organized "Knighis of the Golden
Circle" and " Sons Of Liberty" TO aid the
rebels; Democrats who resisted the draft !;
Democrats who incited the riots (; Demo.
Gratis who asked sneeringly, with lloratio

They have not forgotten that they were

They have not forgotten that, after one

ended. and the war was in progress, 1t was

VERDICT OF THE FACULTY.
sTIMUbANTS INDISPENSABLE AS ME-
DICINES. The most distinguished physi-
clans inthA, United States have recently
been placed on the witness stand. and haye,
with one voice, declared that pure stimu-
lants are valuable medicinal agents. This
decision OF the faculty refers especially to
medicated stimulants, Of which thepurest
and best known is HOSTETTER'S STO-
MACH BITTERS. It's basis is the alco-
hello principle Of the finest rye grown in
the United States, and its herbal ingre-
dents comprise the extracts OF q large
number OF plants, barks and roots, pro-
duced In various parts of the world, and
all noted in the countries to which they are
indigenous for their powerful sanative pro-
perties. AS an inyigorant and tonic, the
value OF the Bitters can scarcely be. over
rated. Hence it's extraordinary effect in
fever and ague and intermittents and re-
mittents OF every type. It's anti-bilious
properties are marvelous. Persons of BIZ
1ious habit, by taking small quantity
once or twice day. may completely change
their constitutional tendency to liver dis
Qpefcss which ariseAither from tho undue
sensitiyeness or the unnstural torpidity Of
the hillary organ. Chronic constipation is
eradicated thoroughly, and in a very short
space OF time, by small doses Of this whole
some regulator, taken night and morning;
and for all the disorders which are super
induced by exhalations from decomposing
vegetable and animal matter in the streets
OF Cities. or, the miasma of swampy dis
tricts, it is, when taken as q protective and
preventive medicine, the most reliable of
all safe-guards. July 81 tG

Barnun's Letter.

p. r. Barnum, even If he Is the
Prince of Humbugs," is not the worst
man going by any means. The Ropub-
LEANS of Connecticut having nominated
him for Congress, we admire the stand
he has taken with reference to bribery
ut elections. ..t. ..a ..s @i
The following is an extract from a
letter written by Mr.. Barnum to gen
tleman who informed him that the
Democrats had raised corruption fund
of S5o,000 for the purpose of carrying
the election, and desired to know
whether Mr.. Barnum would contribute
funds To counteract the copperhead
game. The reply Of Mr.. Barnum is as
follows:
"Your kind letterhas caused me pain
ful emotions. | now wish to say once
cuinstances will 1 permit u dollar of
mine TO be used to purchase vote, or
to induce voter TO act contrary To his
honest convictions. ...
"'I.ie idea that The intelligent reading
men OF New England can be bought
like sheep in tho shamh!es, and that the
sacred principles which have so lar
guided them ia the terrible struggle be-
tween Liberty and Slavery, can now
in this evcnt!lil hour Of the national eX-
istelicc, be set up at auction and knock
down to the hip hest bidder, seems To
me as prcpustc:ous as IL is shameful and
humiliating. God grant that may n
thousand times be defeated sooner than

"No, sir! Grateful as / am for the
disiing uishcd honor of receiving Il
unanimous nomination for Congress
from the loyal Union party in my Dis
iict, l have no aspiration FOR that po-
sition, If it is only to be attained by
bringing into disgrace the noble Prive-
lege of the free clectirc franchise.
Think for Il moment what u deadly
weapon is being placed in the hands OF
tyrants throughout the civilized world,
with which to destroy such apostles oi
of liberty as John Bright or Garibaldi q,
if il can be said with truth that Amcri-
can citizens have become so corrupt and
