The republicans hold state con-
yention at pos Moines en- the 18th
Of June, to nominate q stare ticket
for the support Of those asking the
reconstruction Of the country on the
basis of negro suffrage, negro
freedom, and white slavery. On
the Goth Of the same month another
state convention is to be held at
the same place, to urge "the dis
tinctivo measures maintained by
the democratic party which for
the past ten years has consisted in
nominating men for Office without
democratic IDEAS, and upon plat
forms that any democrat would
scorn to stand upon. With its past
record in view we prefer to wait and
see if We get democratic platform,
or simply modification of the more
patent absurdities of advanced
mongrclism, with set ofcandidates
whose sole ambition is to procure
abolition votes to themselves, think
ing democrats must support them
because they are the most conser-
vative Of the candidates, asking the
SURFACES of the people. The class
of men who will control the Goth Of
June convention, since 1864, have
insisted on presenting candidates
that none but republicans could
work for, and telling US that the
more democrats might do to aid them
the less would be their support at
the polls. We reserve our fire until
the wire workers tell us whether
the support OF demVv4"es WITH ala or
injure the prospects Of the ticket

port none but true and tried DEM
ocrats and upon platform Of prin-
ciples recognizing at least the truth

We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURB" expels the miasmatic pQs4N FEVER
AND AauE from the system, andspESeNs the de-
relepmcnt of the disease if tak61sE1ftRe first ap-
proaeh of its premonitosy symptom not only
he best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
OF complaints, but also tho cheapest THE large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious DISTRICTS where
FEVER AND AGuE prevails every body should
have it and it freely both for and proteo-
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
of Intermttents is that it contains 40 Quiniue
or mineral consequently it produces no quinisn or
other injurious effects whatever upon the eonstit,i
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as Il
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the maasmatic poison. A great variety of disor.
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gssa, Headache, Blind

originating in this cause, put on the intrasitene
type, or become periodical. This CURE expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the nalarious districts. If taken coca
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to rpen into dis
case. Hence it is even more valuable for protec.
ton than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter.
mittents they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.

Greeley and Davis.

These distinguished sccessionists
are now the principal topic Of ani-
N sdyersion in the Republican press
in all parts Of the country, and one
would infer from their furious howl
ings that they have determined they
will not he comforted. The release
Of Davis upon bail was, Of itself,
sufficiently agonizing, but it seems
to have become doubly so, because
Of the fact that his fellow-secession-
list, the Hon. Massa Greeley, was
anxious to, and actually did, vol
untecr to become one of his bonds
men. We arc unable to perceive
the justice of these violent assaults
upon Greeley. He did infinitely
moro than Davis to bring on the
war, and upon it's bre aking out who
was more anxious than he to allow
the Southern States to sccede? He
wrote column upon column, and
quoted and stretc he'd every authority
in the books, to prove that s'seces-
SION was nothing but revolution,
and that every dissatisfied portion
of the people Of any government had
natural right to ''revolutionizc. !"
Davis and his followers acquiescea
in this in depreciation Of their ere
served rights They went to war
in their defense, but lost their cause.
That Greeley should sympathizc
! with them il their defeat in attempt
ing to carry out his secession doc
trine is but natural. We think he
could not well have done less than
to 90 bail fer his friend Davis. lie
has been perfectly consistent in ad-
vocating socessi on in 1861, and
bailing the defeated chief of his
cause in 1867. The Republicans
should let him alone. -ClovclanC
