Dread RetributiOD,

During the war a Democratic editor
in Dayton, Ohio, Rn!lmeyer, was murdered
by an Abolltionist, without any provoca-
ton. An Abolition Court tried and ac-
quilted the murderer. The whole trial
WAS dsgraceful farce, and all who partic-
ipated in it were guilty of official perjury.
Some three years have elapsed, and the
Iounty Clerk, the Sheriff, aad about one
hslfthe jury are dead, while the infamous
Judge, who outraged Justice at the trial, is
an idiot IN a lunatic asylum Jim Lane,
while his hand was yet smoking with the
blood of murdered victims, was elected to
The office of U. S. Senator by a Puritanic
Legislature. For one of his murders he
was tried and of course acquitted. He
has fallen by his own hand. 1t is now be-
lieved by most of mankind, that Mrs. SUI
ratt was guiltless of participation in the
murder of Mr.. Lincoln. When she was
under sentence of death, after a trial
which will be considered blot on ouI
country and age, Mr.. Preston King pre-
vented access 10 the President, and denied
admission TO her daughter, who almost
shrieked and sobbed her life away on the
Steps or the Executive mansion. A few
months afterwards, Preston King stIlsd +
remorseless conscience in this world by
sclf-murder.

Letter from Hon Richard Vaux,

The following letter from the Hon.
Richard Vaux. ofthis city, was addressed
by that gentleman to the Committee of In

to call things by their right names:
PHILADELPHIA, January |, 1867
GENTLEMEN 1t would give me sincere
satisfaction to unite with the Democracy of
Washington City, on Tuesday evening, in
celebrating .Iackson's defeat of the British
at New Orleans on that memorable 8th of
January, rs.
1t will give me equal satisfaction to
unite With all true patriots now, TO defend
the Constitution of our Union against
those traitors in Congress, who, with the
same purpose of the British at New Orleans
have neither the franknrss nor holiness 20
make open and declared war on the gov
ernmeut, constiiu luton, and liberties OF the
white men of the United States.
The Tories of the Hartford Convention
find their descendants in the dominant par

Tories both--coverily intending to DESTROY
the Union of the States, and the States of
the Union, the political rights and liberty,
social happiness, prosperity, and propripty
Of the governing race of the United states
of America. Both asscmblagcs, actuated
by that cursed spirit of abolition, which
displays its sole characteristic maignity--
in destroying what it cannot control. Un-
der the hypocritical and false pretense Of
abolishing slavery, this power for evil is
now a>sailing the Union, Constitution, the
States, law, order, the white mans liberty
industry, and happiness, the Executives and
the Supreme court. Wei; may it be call
ed the accursed spirit OF abolition. As it
is not possible for me to accept your invi-
tation, let me thus present what the occa-
sion would give opportunity to say, with
the addition OF this sentiment:

when tho Me4icans demanded the
person of Santa Anna, the captain
OF the Virginia told them they could
take him by force, as he was not
armed. BE then spread the Ameri-
can ensign on the gangway. The
Mexicans trod on the flag, seized
Santa Anna, thrust him into their
boat, and took him to Campeacby,
where he is confined as prisoner of
war. Bands of Liberals are shooting,

NXTRACTS FROM LETTERS: "The
~ Queens Delight is beginning to
awaken the attention of our physicians.
Its remarkable curative power is seen in
blood purifier, there is no medicine like it
known to the profession. A gentleman
told me that his son has been taking the
Queens Delight, and is more benefited by
1t than by any other medicine. He wants
dozen bottles"
Extract from a letter: "It is due to you
to state in this public manner, i'll order
that the people may know the truth, that
l have tried your Queens Delight, and
found 1t not only what you said it was-"a
pure medicine"-but the best medicine

bad health. had an eruption all over my

dcred liver, and have tried great many
medicines without any benefit. I have
taken one bottle of your Queens Delight,
the eruption has disappeared, my appetite
is better, my liver and digestion is inn
proved. / am satisfied one or two more
bottles will cure me-"
Extract from q letter: "At the close of
the war, my constitution was shattered. I
could not eat, sleep or perform any duty
whatever, such was my PROSTATE condi-
ton. Medicine and medical aid I had in
abundance, such was my condition up to n
few months since, when began the use OF

ing sleep, and am able to perform my share
Of daily labor"

Of only one bottle: 81 have used only q
half bottle of Queens Delight for boils

mors OF the blood, which annoyed me very
much. l am entirely cured. think Your

A remarkable case of liver complaint and
headache cured by the use of "Heinitsh's
Queens Delight" A lady of unquestioned
worth and reputation voluntarily gives tes-
timony of the wonderful effects of this
medicine. She has been from early years
martyr to headaches, caused by imper-
feet action Of the liver, producing intense
headache and pain over the eyes. She has
taken only four bottles, and assures us of
the perfect cure it has made. She now en-
joys good health.
Still another: 'During last spring, had
