the Republican party are more thoughtful
and tempered and just than they were dur
ing the excitement which attended tn.
progress and close of the civil war.
AS the energy of the Democratic party
springs from their devotion to their cause
and to their candidates, / may with pro
priety speak Of the fact that never, ii, the
political history of our country, has the DC
ton of any like body been hailed with such
universal and real enthusiasm as that which
has been shown in relation to the position
of the National Democratic Convention
With this the candidate had nothing to
do.
Had any others of those named been
selected, this spirit would have been per.
haps more marked The zeal and energy
OF the conservative masses spring from de-
sire to make change fpolicy, and from a
thoughtthat they can carry out their pur-
poses. In this faith they are strengthened
by the cooperation of the great body of
those who served in the Union army, and
navy during the war. Having given near
~ 10000 commissions to the officers OF
that army, l know their views and wishes.
They demand the Union for which thew
fought. ass
The largest meeting of these gallant sol.
dlers ever assembled was held in New York
and indorse the action of the National
Convention in words distinct with mean
ing they called on the government to
stop in its policy of hate, discord and dis
union; and in terms of fervid elouuenee,
demanded the restoration of the rights of
the American people.
~ hen there is such a creed between
those who proved themselves brave and
self-sacrihcing in war, and those who are
thoughtful and patriotic in council, I
cannot doubt we shall gain a political
triumph which will restore our Union,
bring back peace to our land, and give us
once more the blessings of wise, econo-
mlcal and honest government.

TEXK|g 0KIG SYRUP,
A Vegetable Compound for the Ra-
pid and Permanent Cure of
UHILLS AND FEVER, or FEVER
AND AGURt sed
Every Poison has Its Antidotel Ey-
cry Disease has Its Cure!

The people of the Mississippi
Valley have long felt the necessity
for, and want Of, a Safe, Certain
Rand Reliable Remedy, as a substi-
tute for Quinine, StryclInine, and
other poisonous Drugs, for the cure
of Fever and Ague, or Chills and
Fever. We claim, and the result
will show, and bear testimony to
every unprecedented mind, that the
Texas Tonic Syrup has supplied
this want and accomplished this
purpose. Its Tonic, Alternative and
Antiseptic qualities are such that
none can possibly be disappointed
lin it's effects. Upon its own merits,
therefore, lis sustained. A single
trial is all that is needed to stamp
this remedy as the greatest specific
of the age.
The ingrediments of which this
Medicine is composed are simple
productions of nature Astounding
upon certain streams in the State
of Texas, and were ever used by the
Ab0rigines of that State as a spe-
cific for Fevers of all kinds, and es-
pecially Fever and Ague, which
they never failed to cure.
Accelerated Physician, acquaint-
ed with these facts, has furnished
us his theory upon this important
subject, and hence the Product
properly named TEXAS TONIC
SYRUP, which we now offer to the
public as a specific and positive
cure for Fever and Ague, or Chills
and Fever, no matter of how long
standing.
Having had indubitable evidence
of its prompt and certain effects
from the testimony of a multitude
ofrespectable citizens, among whom
is classed many of our best Physi-
clans, we do not hesitate to recon-
mend this Preparation in all cases
of Fever and Ague and Chills and
Fever; indeed, from the facts in our
possession of its intrinsic value, it
would not be too much for us to
state that when the directions are
strictly complied with we warrant
a cure in every case, where it is
tried. 1t is pleasant to the taste
and the cheapest Medicine in the
world. Therefore, in truth, it may
be declared the day is not far dis
tant when it must be appreciated
and used in every household where
Fever and Ague or Chills and Fe-
yer is found to exist.

Reply to I" The Boys in Blue are
Coming"
BY L. T.

They're coming, General, coming,
Our boys who wore the grey,
United hands and steadfast hearts,
They stand in bright array;
From the dear, proud Old Dominion,
From Maryland's fair shore,
They're coming, General, coming,
To seek their rights once more.
They are coming, General, coming,
Those boys who wore the grey,
And with God and right to guide them,
They'll surely win the day.
The true sons of Kentucky
With Georgia shall clasp hand,
While Alabama, Tennessee,
Shall haste to join the van.
They're coming, General, coming,
Our glorious sons in grey.
From Louisiana's sacred soil
And blood-stained Florida.
From Carolina sounds the cry.
To far Missouri's shore,
Our boys in grey are coming,
To seek their rightsTonce mole.
