fcient for cure, and whole families have
been cured by single bottle, with perfect
restoration of the general health. 1t is,
however prudent, and in every case more
certain to cure, if its use is continued in
smaller doses for a week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially in

Nevada Union State Convention.

i:esolted, Tha: the Union Republican
Convention of the State of Nevada endorse
Internationally the platform adopted by the
National Convention of the Union Republi-
can party at Chicago, May 20.h, 1868.
ResOIrea, That L. S. Grant, the great cap
tain, having lead our armies on to victory
against the enemies of our government, we
recognize in him the proper leader to lead
the great armies of Union voters to victory
IN the Sd day of November next.
Resolred, That in Schuyler Colfax we rec
oynize firm, consistent patriot, true friend
cf the Pacific Coast a wise statesman, and
one who in the councils of the nation second
ed the efforts of his chief upon the field.
Resoired, That on this, the anniversary of
Mexican independence, we congratulate our
sister republic that by the bravery of her peo-
pie they have obtained their present position
among the Republics of the world and that
the sympathy of true Union men is with
every people, everywhere, who are struggling
for their liberties.
Of Of intelligent suffrage only, we heartily
endorse the action of our National Conven-
ton in its position of leaving to Nevada and
all other loyal States the undisputed right to
regulate the question of suffrage for them
selves.
Resolred, That we have undated conf
ience in the constancv, conscience and cOur-
age, the power, patriotism and purpose of the
people of the United States, who, in war and
peace, have thus far proved themselves equal
10 every emergency, and will so continue to
tie end

could not write political letter. Ny only
desire is to serve the country in her present
trials. To do this efficiently it is necessary
to have the confidence Of the army and the
people. I know no way to better secure
this end than by faithful performance of
my duties. So long as l hold my present
position, do not believe that l have the
right to criticize the policy or orders of

of my own except to the authorities at

l have proven myself good soldier"
In your letter you say that have it in
my power to be the next President. This is
the last thing in the world desire. would
regard such contamination as being
highly unfortunate for myself, if not for the
country. Through Providence l have at
tanned to more than l ever hoped, and with
the position l now hold in the regular army,
if allowed to retain it, will be more than sat
istied. | certainly shall never shape senti-
ment, or the expression of thought, with
a view of being candidate for office. l
scarcely know the inducement that could be
held out to me to accept office, and unhesi-
tatingly say that | infinitely prefer my pres
ent position to that of any civil office within
the gift Of the people.
This is private letter to you, not intend
ed for others to see or read, because l want
to avoid being heard from by the public ex-
cept through acts in the Performance of my
legitimate duties.
l have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servant, I. s. GRANT.
The gentleman to whose letter the
above was written in response was a
Democrat who was trying to d" bring
Grant out to run against Lincoln.

for the moral effect of reduction in the Re
publican majority but the decision is so
positively against them that they must be
very willfully blind if they can find any
comfort in it. Maine indicates that popular
instinct has taken the full measure of the
Democracy. Democratic principles and pur-
poses have been judged, not by the guarded
phrases Of careful party writers, nor by the
nice negations OF the party platform, but by
such utterances as that spontaneous and
thoroughly genuine outburst with which
Wade Hampton gloried on his return from
the nominating convention to his home in
South Carolina. Such utterances were felt
to be sincere by the people, who watched
every act of the returning SOutherners de-
NAL only deepened their effect by keeping
attention fixed upon them, and the nation
has determined that Seymour is only put in
the front of the party as a disguise and cover
to men who hold res0lutely and desperately
to the views Of Hampton, Cobb and Toombs.
Bullied or cheated into compliance by
these men. the Democracy may now see in
the verdict from Maine that the people look
upon it merely fighting the lost cause over
again, and are as resolutely determined that
it shall not win as they were when the arena
Of that cause was the field of battle.
