"'The Party'' and It's Record.

The men who met in Chicago to nomi-
nate Grant for President are not strangers
to the American people. They are known
by their crimes. Here rs a synopsis of
their record:
They melted bloody civil war to graf
ify partisan hate:
They speculated On the best blood of the
American people:
They so loved the profits of war that
they refused to make peace when the enc
my surrendered:
For three years they have resisted the
restoration of the Union:
They abolished ten state governments
and established military rule instead:
They opposed the supremacy of the fed
eral constitution IN war as military ne>
Oessity, and in peace as party necessity:
Iley Imprisoned men for exercising the
freedom of speech
They have suppressed presses for de-
nouncing treason TO The government
They have disfranchised large portion
OF the people for opposing revolution
They have attempted to abolish the in
dependence of the executive department
and 10 annihilate the constitutional powers
of the President
They have attempted to destroy the
jurisdiction of the Supreme court and de-
moralize the judiciary:
The have impeached the President for
defending the constitution, and attempted
to secure his disposal by intimidating and
corrupting the Senate:
They have supported greedy throng of
partisan lazaroni from the public treasury
under the preteRce Of freconstructing states:
They have pensioned an army Of parti-
sans on the treasury under the pretence of
protecting southern negroes and paupers
They have taxed the country over five
hundred millions in a single year Of peace
and squandsred the bulk of it on schemes
designed for personal and partisan profit
They have taxed the west hundreds of
millions for the benefi. of eastern capital>
lists under the pretence of raising money to
pay the national debt:
They have excused the bondhoIders and
manufacturers from taxation, and imposed
additional taxation upon commerce, labor
and tsade:
They have assumed the power in "a
partisan caucus at Washington to dictate
local laws for sovereign and Independent
states:
They have converted congress into
den of political speculators and partisan
gamblers.
These are bot some deeds of the party
whose representatives assembled at Chica-
go on the goth ult. 1t is safe to say
shat the delegates who composed the COM
vention and their immediate partisan
friends have robbed the people of not
less than a hundred millions for their in
dRidual benefit within the past twelve
months. Four-fifths of them might be
dismissed from Office tomorrow, Grant
included, without detriment to the public
service. milwaukee, News.

GOLD FOR THE PENsIoNERs-GR
RACKS FOR THE BoNDHoLDERs.- s.-Under
the Republican policy the soldiers and
sailors not only received legal tenders for
their pay, but wounded pensioners and
manned and disabled veterans are also
paid in tha: currency. The bondhulder.
however, expects his pay in gold. This
distinction against the pensioners and
wounded soldiers and sailors is scandal
ously unjust. The Democracy are in
favor of remedying it. They believe in
the reversal of the policy. They are in fa-
vor, and we trust a plank to that effect
will be inserted in the New York plat
form, OF paying pensions to our disabled
veterans, to our soldiers and sailors, in
gold. 1t is right that they should have
this preference, in as much as they have
shed their bloo1 for the country, and re-
celved but trifing and inadequate com
pensation during the war When a very
large proportion of them entered the SER
vice, gold was the legal tender, and they
might naturally suppose that they would
continue always to receive their small
payments in it. The faith of the country
is, therefore, virtually pledged to them for
that payment. 1t is not SO with the
holders of the fve-twenty bonds. They
lent legal-tenders to the government when
they were worth forty or fifty cents on the
dollar, and took back bond in which
the government scrupulously refrained
irom'Ptedging to them any gold payment.
The Democracy universally favor this
proposition to pay the pensions in gold

Valuable Recipes.

How TO CORE A CANCER "A Mil>
waukee paper states that some eight
months ago, Mr.. I. B. Mason, of that
city, ascertained that he had cancer on
his face the size of pin. It was cut out
by DR.. Wolcott, and the wound partially
Lealed. Subsequently it grew again, and
while he was in Cincinnati on business, it
attained the size of hickory nut. He
has remained there since Christmas under
treatment, and is now perfectly cured.
| The process Is this: A piece of sticking
! plaster is put over the cancer, with a cir
cular piece cut out of the center a little
| larger than the cancer, so that the cancer
! and q small circular rim of the healthy
skin next TO it were exposed. III en- a
| plaster made of chloride of zinc, blood
root and wheat flour was spread on a
| piece of muslin the size of this circular
opening, and applied to the cancer for
tweHty-four hours. On removing it, the
cancer will be found burst in two and ap-
pear of the color and hardness of an old
shoe sole, and the circular rim outside of
it will appear white and parboiled, as if
scalded by hot steam. The wound is now
dressed, and the outside rim soon seper-
ates, and the cancer comes out in hard
lump, and the place heals up. The plas-
ter kills the cancer, SO that it sloughs out
like dead flesh, and never grows in again.
The remedy was discovered by DR.. Fell,
of London, and has been used by him for
six or eight years with unfailing success,
and not a case has been known of the re-
appearance of the cancer when this remedy
has been applied.
CURE FOR DRoPsY.-The Marietta
Register says that the following mixture
has been tried successfully as a cure for
dropsy: Put in stone jar or jug one gal
Ion of stale apple cider; add TO this a
double handful of parsley roots and tops,
cut fine double handful of scraped
horseradish half an ounce of syrup of
sqnills one ounce of juniper berries the
hquld to be kept warm by the fire for
twenty four hours, shaken often and then
strained for use. Dose for an adult, one
half wine glass three times day. To be
taken on an empty stomach. The dose
may be increased if necessary. The pa
lIent should use moderate exercise, subsist
on dry, nourishing food, and abstain from
all liquids as much as possible.
HERE is an item for the consideration
OF our good housewives, and we have,some
very excellent ones in this place
"a small piece of paper or linen, moist
ened with spirits of turpentine, and put
into bureau or wardrobe for single
day or two, or three times year, is
good protection against moths.
CURE FOR SNAKE BTE.-A farmer of
Audrain county reports having recently
cured two mares of snake bite, by apply
ing a strong poultice of onions and salt to |
the part affected.

occasionally there is much securing ; and
they also incline to the belief that the
disease may be r%ropasated indefinitely and

Lectures by DR.. Hall.-Many among us,
in Virginia at least, have felt an interest in
DR.. Hall as an eminent minister recently called
from Irelal1 to the church in New York of
which DR.. James w. Alexander name ever
to be revered and loved in his native State
was the pastor. We have also heard with
qualification an excellent report OF DIR. Hall,
as Christian man of large heart, OF gener-
Gus sympathies, and as minister devoted to
preaching pure gospel in its simplicity. On
these accounts it will be very acceptable to our
readers to find on the 4th page ofthis paper, a
sketch of the first in series of lectures he is
delivering to his people on Sabbath evenings.
We are indebted to the kindness of friend in
New York for the one now published, and have
the promise of others. May the blessing of
God be upon all who are thus determined to
know nothing but Christ and Him cruciGed y

the cup which we drink, and which IS de-
signed to show among other things, and as no
other public act can, the blessed truth that
I'VE being many are one bread and one body,
why select that as one of the special places
for Withholding fellowship? The Master made
it pre-eminently the place for his followers to
meet; why should our brethren make 1t pre-
eminently the place to separator
Are they in this consistent? We would not
use harsh word about question of Christian
fellowship, for if any change is effected 1t must
be under the law of kindness; but how this
course can be either right or consistent passes
the comprehension Of our people, and we hope
the candid avowal how strangely and un-
pleasantly it impresses them, is no cause OF OF
fence to those whom we, as Presbyterian Chris
tians (wool-dyed, if you please, are instruct
ed both by our Church and the approval OF
our consciences to regard as brethren beloved
in the Lord, although we really think that
their ministerial Investment, being merely Epls-
copal, instead of Presbyterian, is only " tot
cradle coat >"
1t will indeed be blessed to realise in the
clearer knowledge of heaven, its perfect har,
mony also. But may we not hope by kind and
candid conference, to make some nearer APP
proaches while on the journey upward? Sure
ly there is room for improvement. The chief
reproach upon Protestant Christendom is noi
that it has churches separate in their external
organizations-for we deny as monstrous as
sumption aud dangerous perversien Of Scrip,
sure, that the essence Of Christian uRi;s' hes
in outward ecclesiastical uniformity BUTT is
great repyoaeh that ~. 20 large a. extent
they refuse publicly and fully to own and oe-
clare, in practical forms, the real unity they
admit to exist. And that Church most thor
oughly elevates itself to an exalted position In
1.-THE one, holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church,
which shall most fully and consistently main
tain this prime excellence, and most plentifully
exhibit and enjoy the benefits which in this
life do either accompany or flow tberefrom.
