The New York Herald, in reference to the
appeal that is making there for the relief OF
the famishing inhabitants Of Morocco and Al
ciers (Africa), takes occasion to say: mo
doubt the American heart will generously re-
spond to appeals in behalf of the starving, both
in the icy regions of northern Europe and be-
meath the burning sun of Africa. But, ct tho
same time, it should not be forgotten that
charity begins at home; that hunger is one OF
the woes bitt erly experienced by the poor in
New York during this rigorous season, and
+hot in the South we have an Africa Of our own
which demands the hearty sympathy and effec-
tual aid of our people. Let Congress and the
Executive and the people hasten to unite upon
some rational plan of reconstruction that shall
put a speedy end to the alarming distress
within our Southern and Southwestern States,
and we can then, with a clear conscience un-
dertake to prevent famine in foreign countries.

Blair is to be President. Row be is to

one who knows how Andrew johnson
became President. Certain it is. that
the ultra Democracy do not mean to let
Seymour stand in the way of Blair's be.

ton Seymour can have in contemplating
the future is. that there never will be any
temptation offered for putting him ont oil

We will now put our figures on paper.
The single County Of Douglas will give

Counties in the State that give such ma

leaving the Republican m.jorities in the
remainder of the Counties. numbering

Make note of this; and bear in mind

DEATH OF THADDEUs STEVENS
deus Stevens died at Washington, on the
11th, in the 76th year of bis sge, after Q
long and useful career. He had always
been an incorporating opponent Of
Slavery and sham Democracy, and lived
to see them both overthrown. Living in
the same County and city with james
Buchanan, he was dreaded adversary Of
that great demsgogue. and also lived to
know that his power for mischief had
ceased forever. The relative influence Of
the two men at home may be estimated
from the election returns of the County.
which always gave . majority Of from
1000 to 5000 in favor of the party
which Stevens belonged to. Since the
outbreak. of the rebellion no man had ex-
erted such an influence in shaping legis-
lstions and public sentiment in this coun-
try. He died in the harness. like John
Quincy Adams and Henry Clay. and bis
death is mourned by the friends Of free.
dom everywhere. and rejoiced over by
the enemies Of progress, who will soon
learn that the principles which be sdvo-
Gated can never die.

The Heated Term.

August is invariably an unhealthy month,
and the dog-days are universally quoted as an
unhealthy season. Diseases more frequently
terminate fatally at this time than any other,
owing to the relaxation of the system. This
is, therefore. the proper time to use a remedy
that will recuperate the strength and fortify
the system against the attacks of disease.
Experience has demonstrated the fact that
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS is
the best medicine used to accomplish this de-
sirable object. By its use the appetite is in
creased, digestion promoted, all feelings OF
depression removed. and the vital functions
restored. The afflicted should avoid all per.
nicious alcoholic preparations purporting to be
tonics and restorstives, as they only afford
temporary exhilaration, and eventually entail
If not fatal, results. This is never
the case with HOsTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS. They afford permanent benefit,
and soothe the nerves without reaction follow
ing their use. The weak and debilitated, BY
its aid, awake to sense Of the enjoyments Of
life, and they are enabled once more to take
their accustomed positions in society HOS
LETTERS BfTTERS are now considered
the standard remedy for all diseases arising
from an impurity Of the blood. They are
In great quantities, and there is
scarcely city or hamlet on the habitable globe

that this man, who demands money from

The Democracy held . meeting st
Kenpekuk, in Atchison County. . short
time ego. st which Click bad been an
nouuced to speak: bot be falling to sp-
pear. the crowd we're bored with . long
wiuded effort BY blsthsrskits who runs
q rebel paper in Atchison. snd who has
invented new system Of grammar and
ortbograpby for bis own convenience.
Tbis fellow relsted. smopg other original
romsnces. that scores Of Republicans 10
Kansas were daily 8ocking to the Demo-
cratic standard. principally because Of
the abuse which bad been hesped upon
them BY certain Republican papers. pro-
minent among which was the White
Cloud Chief! Without being so impo-
lite ss to ask for the nsmes of two or
three Of these converts, We would suggest
that the White Cloud Chief is entitled to
some thanks from the Democracy. for
rendering them such good service.
Bot the foregoing reminds US Of little
circumstancs. We lately metz man
who said be had been q citizen of Me-
Doaoush County. Illinois. In reply to
. political question. be told US be bad
formerly scted With the Democratic par
ty; but that he had been acquainted with
. Democratic editor in the town of Ma
comb. who managed to work his way
into the pockets of q number of bis De-
mocratic brethren. himself among the
rest, and then suddenly lit out, leaving
said brethren in the lurch. When be
came to Kansas, be found that same edi-
tor here. big fish in the puddle. preach
ing up Democratic honesty and Republic
can rsscality. and at the same time sd-
vocstiug what be had practiced in Illi.
nois-Rspudiation. He thought hsrssf,
ter be should choose opposite sides from
that man.
So it will be seen that while Repuh-
lican paper is driving over to the Demo
cracy, some Democratic papers are driv-
ing in the other direction. The only
difference is, that one editor drives BY
freely relieving bis mind. and the Other
BY freely relieving the pockets Of bis
brethren!
