 DR. WIsTAR's BAIsAM OF WILD CHERRY, whose value in curing Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, Group, Ast'tma, Pulmonary A.t- fection aud incipient Consumption, is nestimable.
 STRONG TESTIMONY.
 From Benjamin Wheeler, Esq, Depot Master at
 South Royalton, Mass.
 ''In the Spring of 1858, was most severely af- compartments of night sweats, completely pres trating my nervous system, and producing such a debilitated state of health that after trying medi cal aid to no purpose, had given up all hopes Of ever recovering, as had also my friends. At this stage of matters, was prevailed upon, through the influence of a neighbor, to try Wistar's Bal sam of Wild Cherry, and, before using two bottles, the effect was almost magical. My cough entirely left me, the night sweats deserted me, hope once attained my wonted strength and vigor. Thus has this Balsam, as has often been remarked by per sons conversant with the above facts, literally snatched me from the yawning grave. You are at liberty to use this for the benefit of the afflicted"

ua- GEORGIA, LIBERTY AND EeuAL1rY-The ac. tion of the people of Georgla against the negro government scheme of the new constitution alarms the party of Congress and their military agents and camp-followers in that Staie They have induced Gen. Meade to issue an order, swarm ing" the people and the newspapers, threatening to stop the publication of the latter if free speech is lndulged in, and trial of arrested persons by drum-head court martial. The pretence set forth for this high-handed proceeding is that the party of negro rule and military government are suffer ing from violence and intimidation" on the part of the people of the oppressed State! So the virtuous Stanton feared an irruption of rebel cay airy to capture him and drag him out of the War Office. With the party of Congress the old ad. age is daily illustrated guilty conscience needs no accuser. ."-HarJord Times.

Fowl Play"

The show of roosters among our Demo. cratic exchanges, last week, was extraordi. narily slim. The most dubious of victo- ries has inspired a Democratic cackle rath- CT than Democratic crow. The only rea- ly ''premium" bird, tough old veteran, the surest crower in the United States, heads column of tho New Haven Regis ter. This most majestic and we'll propor- toned fowl. invented long before Shang- hais and other long-legged importations had vitiated the popular taste, proclaims the full returns of 1868 as compared with those of 1867, and the list of Senators and Representatives elect Ia sore catalogue for Democratic eyes) through speaking trum- pet of ancient device. (There is great ap- +propriateness in the use of such an instru- ment, this year, for MT. James Dixon, the individual most nearly affected, is great way off at Washington and anxious to hear the result). This rooster, with the trum- pet he always carries, is as much Demo- cratic institution as the paper he always figures in. They all began business to- gether nearly forty years since, (Anti-Jack- son in those days) and celebrated such Whig victories as those hard times afforded Soon, however, they fell into line together and have ever since faithfully crowed together for the Democracy. During the war the trumpet accumulated much verdi gris, for the only Democratic victories of any account occurred at Bull Run, Chan eellorsville, and other localities too far south for healthy celebration. But no sooner was,
 "The winter of Democratic discontent Made glorious summer by the sun of Johnson" than this great-grandfatbe of game cocks resumes his ancient place at the head of the ancient Conservative column, with the same bold old look as when he was live and not resurrected rooster We cannot but admire the pluck with which the su- per-annuated old efigy meets the Radical breeze that cuts down Senator after Sena- tor, Representative on Representative, and nips the Congressional aspirations of James Dixon, James English, James Babcock, and perhaps few Conservative Richards and Williams, as he holds up his copper toned old trumpet with one foot, and shouts the old war-cry, without quiver of the single, spindling shank the old Conser- vative has left to stand on.
 The Sentinel displayed no bird, last week. If they had done so, and it had been a congenial bird, cursory perusal of our friends ''inside" leads us to suppose it would have been an o,cl Still our neigh Dor is a solemn man even in his most ec static moments; perhaps he is happier than he seoms.
 On the whole, we think our Democratic friends have made a mistake Boosters were their game, and their only game. Having nothing else to show, We are astonished that they should rest satisfied with so poor an exhibition.

The Sentinel.

The great exemplar of the Christian .ir- tues, hereabouts, is the editor of the Litch- field Sentinel. Wherever his paper circu- lates, unchristian clergymen are without excuse. Not only does this Conservative Boggs forgive our intrusion" into his parish, but he actually begs for an tex change" and promises us 'contribution. " Boggs, you are charitable. generous, be- do! Just think what we should have to say to your congregation! Oar discourse would be in substance this:-
 'Bretheren: We sec many among you who have forsaken purer church because you were rebuk- ed there. for the dangerous if not criminal indul-
 gence of an appetite for fostering that appetite ill others! We many more, late emigrants from country where you were deprived of your just riShts-you land on Monday, become citizens Tuesday, and OH Wednesday vote to deprive other men of their just rights! We are sorry to say that the christianity of the best of you is u.chris tianlty! Your very Bible is spurious Bible Wherever ill your Testaments .'men" ara granted privilege you have inserted the word white: 1t IS only weere q duty is required that you give the black his share. Then, too, yonr practice has been worse, even, than your principles. When your country was in it's direst necessity; when traitors seemed on the point of dismemberins it: you gave treason aid and comfort deaounelng and revilin9 patriotism. Bretheren: Repentance in sackoloth and ashes Yet save you as it saved the Ninevites but let your repentrnce be speedy!' You see, Boggs, there is much truth but few quarters" to be derived from the fore going. Although, therefore, you can do lit
 tie for us, perhaps we can do something fo1
 you. We submit the following advertise | ment:-
