542 Broadway, New York :
From the eminent physicians Drs. Crane
and White, New York:
We have used Hof-s Malt Extract in
practice, and the results have been such as
to fully justify the claims made for it /; We
feel certain that il is destined to supply a
want long felt.
From the most eminent physician, DR..
Gordon, of Boston:
While in Germany, last year, suffered at
one time greatly from the disease which has,
so many years been my misery. A worthy
German confrere advised me to use the
Biere de Sante of Hoff, and | am able to
testify that was greatly benefited BY it, etc.
I have recommended it 10 many persons in
my travels suffering from Dyspepsia, and
always with benefit to them.
Paris, June, 1866.
FOR ALL PEOPLE NEEDING A TONIC.
I wish that Hoff7s Malt Extract might
come into universal use, as il merits the
preference over all tonics of the day, and is
besides its virtues as a remedy also splendid
as a beverage or table drink.

Black and White Equality.

We are informed on good authority, that
last Sunday night, in one of the most prom
inent churches of the city, "colored snow
flake" of the female persuasion, arose in the
congregation to give her views on the "signs
of the times" and other matters, in the
course of which she said that the negroes
were now on q perfect equality with the
whites, and that the time would come when
they would be q head and shoulders above
whites What do you think of this, "poor
white trashf-poor laboring men and me-
cbanics? Won't it be happy time in Mon
mouth when niger is head and shoulders
above you, your wives and your daughters
The wench, however, is not SO much to
blame as the prominent radicals in that
church, who have taught her to believe that
there is no distinction between the races.
| Such are the teachings and inevitable results
OF radiealism and abolitionism The radi-
cais have always contended that negro
was as good as white man; but now the
nlggers want to climb higher. and boldly as

be "head and shoulders above the poor

RADICAL COUNTY CONVENTION

This body met in the court house on Mon
day, to choose delegates to their state, con-
gressioual and senatorial conventions. Thir-
teen towns were represented. and the other
two (Zuma and Cancel were filed by per-
sons who happened to be present Seven
delegates were appointed to the state con-
vention and instructed for Palmer for gov
ernor. Thirteen delegates to the congress
ional convention were appointed and instruc-
ted for Hawley. And nine to the senatorial
convention and instructed for Webster. 1t
was also recommended that the convention
to nominate candidate for prosecuting at
torney be held at the same time and place
and to be composed of the same delegates
we suppose in order that they could trade on
senator and prosecutor.
The official published proceedings state
that a committee On resolutions was appoint
ed, but who composed that committee is
carefully concealed. We do not wonder at
it, when we consider the character of the
resolutions. A portion of them are the most
impudent, monstrous and outrageous false
hoods ever indorsed by q body of men pre-
tending to be convention. two of which are,
In substance as follows:
lst. That the democratic party, while sd-
ministering the government, attempted to
destroy it.
I'd. That majority of the members of
the democratic party sought to destroy the
government and still seek to destroy it.
We do not wonder that the men who got
MP and reported such stuff should cause their
names TO be suppressed. And we do not be,
lieve majority of the delegates to that con
vention, in their sober and considerate mo
ments, would indorse such villainous false
hoods.
The 3D. resolution declares that the people
of the south have no civil or political rights
though the authors of that resolution know
that the people of the south were publicly
and officially promised that, when they would
lay down their arms and yield obedience to
the constitution and laws they should be re-
stored with all their equality, rights, SC. un.
impaired.
The 4th indorses congress and dououn
ces Andrew johnson.
The 9Th is "bunkum" for the soldiers.
The 9th thanks congress for irving TO i'm.
peach the President and hopes the iniouity
will be conuvmmated.
The 7th is all the radicals of Rock Island
county have to offer the people, by way of
relief from oppressive taxation, exemption
OF bonds from taxation, payment of bonds
In gold, &c. &C.. and is, in tull, as follows
Resotced, That the national faith, with it's
creditors, must be kept inviol ate, and that all
schemes ct repudiation of governmental obliga
tions are but covert forms Of treason
Now, when we remember that The con.
stant cry Of the radicals is that it is repudis-
ton to talk of paying the bondholders in
anything but gold, the simple meaning of
that resolution is that the bonds must still
be exempt from taxation. and must ulti-
mately be paid in gold. That is just exact
ly what the makers of that resolution mean,
though they were too cowardly to say it in
plain words.

Severe Excoriation.

Ignatius Donnelly, whom some of the
people of Minnesota think good enough to
represent them in congress, has received a
sharp flagellation at the hands Of fellow
member, Mr.. Washburne, of this state. 1t is
probable enough that among the other diff
friends Of free navigation in the Mississippi
to maintain their rights, has been the treach-
cry of those who onght to have acted with
them. Mr. Washburne exposes Donnelly's
conduct in reference to the Clinton bridge,
of which he atirms
This bridge has been the means of inficting
untold injury upon the commerce and people of
the Upper Mississippi. 1t has been the terror OF
all lumbermen of Minnesota, and they have been
damaged in various ways by the obstruction of the
Clinton and Rock Island bridges hundreds and
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Indeed, it is
safe to say, that the damage done by the breaking
up of RATS, the increased expense of running
them, on account of the danger OF passing these
bridges the increased price of freight and insu-
rance on account of the bridges, costs the people
of Minnesota half million of dollars q year.
When the bill came up in the House to egalize the
Clinton bridge and make it a post-road, and was
pressed to its passage, by the unscruplous agents
Oft the corrupt railroad manopolies, whose object
was to so impede the free navigation of the
Mississippi as to compel your farmers to ship
their products east railroads, at vastly
enhanced rate of freight, l resisted the passage
of the bi in the interest of your people, and the
people of the Upper Mississippi, with all my
might. The day before the bill passed, Mr.. d.
voluntarily came to my seat and assured me Of
his hearty support, and urged to keep up q
vigorous opposition. You weli conceive my
surprise and Indignation, the next day ,on finding
him ooting FOR tie biz. I could only account for
his sudden conversion the hypothesis that be
had been "seen" during the previous night.
Washburne cannot be considered as alto
gether complimentary to Donnelly, when he
charged upon the latter that "every corrupt,
extravagant. and prohiga.e measure ever
brought before the house, has received his
support" and that he ''left Philadelphia
under suspicious circumstances between two
days" We need not add that both Donnelly
| and Washburne are members of the radica
party.

"LooK ON THIS PICTURE AND THEN ON
THAT

The Rock Island and Moline Daily Union
of the 18th instant, had two editorial notices
of the late oglesby's fast day, which, for
contrast, deserve a passing notice. From
the first we cut the following:
"FAsr DAY.-Fast day very generally
observed in Rock Island. Meetings were held
at most of the churches, the schools, the banks,
and nearly all the stores and shops were closed,
and the people seemed to feel sadness in cele-
brating the anniversary Of the assassination OF
our good President, Abraham Lincoln.
We are glad to say party lines were drawn in
the Observance OF the day and that many demo-
Gratis as well a republicans, felt the sadness of
the OCCASION
The above is what is said by radical
newspaper, of democratic town.
Now read the notice which the same
paper, on the same day, gives the radical
town of Moline, as follows:
"FAsr DAY IN MoLINE.-It is not creiitable
TO Moline-a town that did so much for the war,
end which numbers many of Mr.. Lincoln
most ardent worslippers, that the 18th was not
observed by many of her people. The stores
were open all day; her engines kept pufing away,
Needless of the memorable event which the day
commemoratsd, and her busy people never
thought of laying aside the hammer and the saw
in honor of the great and good man whose sad
death occurred but three years before There are
some things better than piows and buckets, and
piles of lumber and bundles of paper. and one OF
them is the venerstion of the people for the eene-
factor of their country 1t is not we'll to become
so entranced by the whirr Of machinery, as to
forget those whose noble lives were sacrificed for
the nations good. We regret shat vene-ation is
so poorly developed in the American people, and
espec tally that the fact should be widely ex-
emplfed in Moline
According to the Unions showing, the
people of the radical town of Moline are a
set of mercenary heather, while the people
of the democratic town of Rock Island are
pious, patriotic and well behaved.
According to the Union's showing the
"late lamented martyr" is played and hi:
memory held in contempt by the radicals o'
Moline-while, in the "copperhead" town Of
Rock Island he is still held in very high and
proper veneration.
Further comment is unnecesssry-excep'
to ask why it was that the Union allowed its
Rock Island notice to go in its Weekly pa
per, and suppressed the Moline notice from
its Weekly. Were the editors afraid the
people of Moline would read the compliment
they received through their organ?
The evening Argus., 1868-04-28

racv Of Rock Island county, on the same
question. The democrats expressed them
selves as follows:
Resoiued, That no emergency can justify, and
no legislative body possesses the right 10 create
privileged classes monopolies; that justice ana
equity alike require taxation upon the capita,
now invested in government bonds; and thai All
bonds not expressly payable in gold snou,d %
paid in greenbacks Is they become due on reueeM
able bondholders being in no respect more pl,' "a
eyed or sacred than other parties, OF eh'''ieo "
any special legislative favors.
These two resolutions exhibit the differ
ence between the two parties on the imam
cial question.
Take another questionable right to force
negro suffrage upon people against their
will. The radicals of Rock Island county
take their stand as follows:
by congress for the reconstruction of the states
lately in rebellion, basis Of justice and polit
al equality to all loyal citizens.
In palmer words, they mean that, all mig
gers should vote and white men be e1clud
ed from voting.
Now read what the democrats of Rock
Island county cay, as follows:
Resolved, That by inherent right, as we'll as by
virtue of constitutional provision, each state is
entitled to determine for itself the qualifications OF
its voters, and any attempt by congress to inter
fere with, suppress, control the elective fran.
chise or to force negro suffrage upon an unwill-
ing people ut the south and refusing to adopt il
Mt the north, is inyidious distinction, an obi
Gus and outrageous act of tyranny, and wan
ton usurpstion of sacred and forbidden powers.
The difference between the two parties is
equally marked on other questions. The
democrats take an open and bold stand in
favor of the people generally, in favor of re-
ducing their burdens and compelling the
rich to bear their equal share of supporting
the government The radicals, in a mos'
cowardly manner, dodge the issues and seek
by open falsehoods, covert insinuations, and
downright evasion to favor the monied and
tax-eating interests, at the expense of the
laborers, the producers, and the taxpayers
There ought not to be any doubt which side
will win in such contest.
