THE speakers of the Democrat,

THE speakers of the Democratic party
are trying to convince the people that
the country is going to ruin, and that
the laboring men will not be able to
make living unless the Democratic
party is placed in power. Some intelli-
gent laborer should ask them how much
a laboring man received for days work
when the Democratic party was In power,
and how much he receives now. We
think they wuold begin to realize the
rediculonsness of their position before
they were through answering.

THADDEus STEVENS.

The great Commoner is dead. Thad-
deus Stevens one of the noblest states.
men of the nineteenth century, after a
long and laborious public life, quietly
passed away, on Tuesday last, surroun-
ded by few of his friends and relatives.
Few men have left behind them as clear
record, or as bright name. No man
will ever question the honesty of Mr..
Stevens, and few will dare assaiI his mo-
tives.
The value of the public services of this
truly great man, may, in part, be gather
ed from the following address of the
Governor of Pennsylvania to the people
of that State, announcing the death of
her favorite Representative:
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. IA, 1858.
To the People Of Pennsylvania:
The death of the oldest member of the
Pennsylvania delegation in Congress,
Thaddeus Stevens, is an event which
to-day shrouds the Commonwealth in
gloom. Though not a native of our
State, Thaddeus Stevens's most earnest
efforts were always devoted to its inter-
ests and glory, and his name will ever
be associated with all that is great in the
progress of the last quarter of a century,
as well as that pertains 10 craftsmanship
in the struggle to prove and perpetuate
American Union. The people of Penn
sylvania owe to the enlarged statesman
shin of Thaddeus Stevens the initiation
of the system of public improvements
which has since developed the vast re-
sources of the State, and rendered it's
prosperity the subject of wonder and ad-
miration. To his wisdom and liberalitywe
are indebted for our magnificent system
of free schools, by which the children
of the poor are enabled to degree of
cultivation beyond which the wealthiest
and most favored of other lands cannot
90. AS member of the Convention
which revised and amended the State
Constitution, as representative in the
lower branch of the Legislature, and as
canal commissioner, the late Thad-
deus Stevens disDlayed the same great
abilities which distinguished him as a
jurist in the highest courts and as leader
lin the councils of the nation. The mem
ory of the services of the illustrious dead,
of his many grand traits of character, of
his great and cultivated intellect, of his
irresistible abilities as ajurist, and az a
legislator, and of his generous and mu-
nificent charities, will never die 1t will
survive the recollection of man, and
forever live in the records of our courts,
and of our State and National Legisla-
lures, in the history of our country, to
which he was so ardently attached, and
in the hearts of his countrymen, whom
he so Immortality honored and so faith
fully served. 1t is directed that all the
Departments of the State Government
be closed after twelve clock on Monday
and that the national flag be displayed
at balf-mast at the same time on all pub
lie buildings of the State.

To Owners of Horses.

This need not be. DR.. Tobias Venetian Horse
Liniment will positively cure every case, if
given when first taken. The cost is only one
dollar. Every owner of horse should have a
bottle in his stable ready for use. 1t is warren
ted superior to anything else for the cure cf cuts,
bruises. old sores, &c. This I,iniment is no new
remedy. 1t has been used and approved of for
20 years by the first horsemen in the country
Given to over-driven horse, lit acts like magic.
Orders are constantly received from the racing
stables of England for il. The celebrated Hiram
Woodruff, of troIting fame, used it for years, and
said il is far superior to any other he has tried.

Lay Low and Keep Dark.

The Northern Democracy are alarm
ed at the probable consequences of Frank
Blair's threat of revolution and civil
war, and at the clustering tone of the
Southern press and orators. They have,
therefore, requested their allies to be
more prudent-to think and purpose
what they please, but to say nething
until the time shall come to act. Here
is what The Charleston Mercury of the
30th says:
"Private advices from our most siren
nous friends at the Nerth resaest that
we should protest against the impru-
dent expressions that have escaped some
Southern speakers since the adjourn
ment of the National Democratic Con-
vention. 1t is represented to US that
great injury is accruing to the cause from
such imprudence. We therefore shall
make no apologies for asking the atten-
tion of our public speakers to the fact
We are all desirous of pushing on the
good work of success, and no one would
voluntarily impede its course who was
aware of the fact. While no man in the
South should be, and no true man is,
ashamed of our great lost cause, and
while when we speak o. the past we
should speak like true men, it is ques-
tionable whether at this time anything
is to be gained by too much reference to
things that jar on the peoples nerves.
What we want just now is to win. Let
us keep our powder for that purpose
Too much is at stake to waste it now at
feu de jOies. Let US have our pyrotech-
mics next March. In the mean time,
friends, let US, without abating one SEN
timent, that is true, be cool and steady
and give the enemy no advantage. We
have a strong foe 10 encounter, We can
not afford to give him ali the advantage
of position. Let us guard our Hanks,
make secure our lines, and when the
time comes uext November let us down
on him like an avalanche and double
him up like a grub worm, and then
scatter him to the winds. We have the
power. Do not let us unnecessarily frit-
ter it away in unavailing skirmishing
and needless, thoughtless, scattered as
saults. Let us work and speak to win" !"

Exports of Hay.

A New York letter says: Large pur-
chases of hay have just been made in
this market, on account of the French
Government. This fact, together with
heavy recent purchases of horses for the
same party, and the enormous accumu-
.lation of bullion in the Bank of France,
(equal to S250, 900, 900 in gold now,) is
looked upor by not few Of the longesi
heads in financial and business circles
here as indicative of ceming war--not-
wthstanding the Emperor's protesta-
tions that the Empire is for peace. Pri-
vate letters from intelligent sources on
the other side fall in with this eXpecta-
ton. They say there is much dissatis-
faction of a political character beginning
to manifest itself in very uDmistakable
forms among the masses, Though the
public Journals are silent on the subject)
and that the Emperor, to avert trouble
at home, may deem it polite to get up a
war with his neighbors. That, we are
assured, is the certain drift of all his later
movements.

SIR:-I take great pleasure in stating thai,

others, have been entirely cured by the use OF
Goes Dyspepsia Cure Ny friends know that OF
late years my case has been an extreme one. i
had great suffering nom eating any kind of food
and on an average would vomit bout one-third;
OF my meals, in a sour indigestihle mass. Whsnl
the severe attacks would come, would aesc al
strength and be utterly helpless. Some Of the
attacks would be sossvere that for days together
would not retain anything ON my stomach
save little dry toast and tea. Foryears knew
not what it was to pass nve consecutive hours
without intense pain. From the time took the
first dose of this medicine / ceased vomiting
gradually all soreness passed away and flesh
and strength returned, and ever since have
been able 10 eat amy kind OF food set upon the
table. Six months have now passed without
any symptoms of the return of the disease. Ny
case was considered by all, even physicians, 50
marvellous, that for a time IL was feared IL might
be fictitious; but lam now so well convinced
that have been not merely relieved, but per.

Frank Blair's Opinion OF General Grant
/ The Leavenworth, Kas.) Times Of
Sunday, August 2, says:
The Hon. Frank Blair, after his speech
in this city, in the presence of number
of gentlemen, and in reply to a remark
that Grant was fool" said:
"Sir, you are mistaken. Grant is nc
fool. I know him well. l knew him
before he went into the army, and when
he used to haul wood into the City of st.
Louis. I'met him often in the service,
[ know the man. He is, by -, the
greatest man of the age. Sherman,
Sheridan, and Thomas are good men,
but Grant is worth all of them.
"Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon .Bo-
naparte were both great men, but, Sir,
I tell you that Grant is greater man
than Cromwell and Bonaparte put to-
gether. He is not talker, but he is one
of the dAest thinkers in the world.
"He is ambitious, but he don't show
it; and I tell you, that if be is elected
President, he will set up monarchy and
establish himself Emperor.
I" I tell you, that the people are mis-
taken when they suppose Grant to be a
fool. They have good reason TO fear his
greatness"
Yes, but don't you think that he will
be controlled by such men as Sumner,
Wilson and Washburn?"
Z Controlled! CoNTRoLLED!n Why,
by G., he would sweep them away like
straw"
"But, General, don't you think that
circumstances have done great deal for
Grant?"
"Why, h-ll, the fellow has made the
circumstances. l tell you that it is no
luck y
+ 1.-The man that can spring right up
from poverty and obscurity, and dowhat
he has done, is no mere creature of Cir
cumstances. Circumstances do not run
so much in one way"
81 am Democrat; but if Gen. Grant
is such great man as you say he is, l
am Grant man from this out.n
"Well, if you want despotism, vote
for him; but if you want a Republican
form of Government, you will have to
vote against him. know that he is a
great man, and by G., in saying so, 1
simply tell the truth"
