Union REF. CENTRAL CON
GEN. 0RART's SPEECHES.


Many Of the Democratic papers In
their attacks upon the nominees Of
the Union Republican party lay great
stress upon the fact that Gen. Grant
is incapable of making a speech.
True, he is not man who clothes his
ideas in fowery dress. but what he
has to say he generally says in q
manner easily understood The N.
Y. I1baae gives q few of these
speeches or compositions commenc
ing with one to Gen. Buckner, now
q Democratic editor, and one who
particularly finds fault with Grants
style, doubtless with good reason, but

Gen. Buckner called these terms
uneenerous and uneiyil; 6ut he made
haste to accept Msm.r For once, at
least, he clearly ieomprehended Gen.
Grants style.
Some time afterward, Gen. Grant
was visited in his camp before Vicks-
burg by Gen: Pemberson.. who was
anxious to know upon what terms
that city could be relieved from q
siege just then pending. Here are
the speeches:
Pemberton.-Gen. Grant, / meet
you in order to arrange terms fol
capitulation. What terms do you
demand? - : 's'-' -

containing neither calomel or any deleterious jrug,
they may be taken with safety by anybody. 1aeif

by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange-

Minute directions are given in the wrapper ON
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:-
For Dyspepsia or I,digestie., Lissless.
e<
should be taken moderately to stimulate the ston.-
aeh and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complains and its various symp.
toms, Bilious Heaslache, Sick Heaslac he.
Jaundice Green Sickness, BIliouS
Collie and Bilious Reyer~, they should be iu-
dicousy taken for each case to correct the diseased
action or remove the distractions which cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhsea, but one mild
dose is generally required
For Rheumatism, Gouf, Gravel Paint.
fasiOn of the Heart, Pain in the side.
Back and LOins, they should be continuously
taken as required to change the diseased aston Of
the system. With such change those complaints
disappear.
For Dr0psy and Dropsfcal Swellinga they
should be taken in large and frequent doses pro-
duce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression 4 large dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a Dinner PHI, take one or two Pius 70 pro-

An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and

Every once in while our city seems 10 be pos
sessed with sort OF apathy from which nothing
can apparently rouse itexcept some great crime
committed, or o railroad accident, q fight among
our aldermen or pleasant pasttimes of similar
description. Such Is the state OF New York city
at present, and the newspapers, for want OF any
thing else to write about, pitch into each other for
the sake of their party aud every speck of cloud
appearing the political horizon is in their minds
at once msgnifed into q terrible hurricane. To
Judge OF the public state Of mind, last week after
the news Of Secretary Stanton having been rein
stated into the war office, you would have thought
that nothing short Of revolution would be the
immediate consequence; still matters have again
resumed quiet course, and the storm has appa-
rently blown of. II . temporary calm prevails
in the political world, this ismore than can be said
Of the atmosphere for the last two days We have
had successvely snow, ice, rain, storm and finally
snow again, and those who are not compelled for
business to trod the streets all day, are many
poor fellows in our city, may consider themselves
lucky indeed. The river Is so full Of ice that il
was expected, yesterday, to form natural
bridge; the mild weather, however, which has
visited US will not for the present, crafty the
seekers Of adventure, who, on such occasions,
will insist on risking their lives by walking from
one shore to the other on the ice surface. IL IS
ciently, for accidents almost unavoidable on
such occasions. and there are always but too
many who, perhaps, for the sake of making
selves TO imminent danger.

indeed, what has already been done since the
opening Of the season exceeds the expectations
OF the most exacting. Six Of the best kno wn
