ChilIS and Fever.

The proprietor of this celebrated medi-
cine justly claims for it superiority over
all remedies ever offered to the public for
the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever or Chills and Fever,
whether of short or long standing. He re-
fers to the entire Western and Southwest
ern country to bear him testimony to the
truth of the assertion, that in no case what
ever will it fail to cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In a
great many cases a single dose has been suf-
fcient for a 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
difficult and long standing cases. Usually,
this medicine will not require any aid to
keep the bowels in good order; should the
patient however, require cathartic medicine,
after having taken three or four doses of the
Tonic, single dose of BULLS VEGETA-
BILE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient

Copperhead Afrontery,

The Philadelphia Press of August 18th
says that ''at Harrisburg, the capital town
of our Commonwealth, in leading Demo
cratic drinking saloon, frequented by the
chiefs of that party, hang in handsome
frames the portraits of Jefferson Davis, II.
f. Lee, Beauregard. Buckner, Bragg, and,
to crown all, of Wilkes Booth. This is in
no cut-throat hole, but room where the
gentlemen and leaders of the local Demo
cracy meet for social and business inter
course. 1t Is almost impossible to conceive
or any more studied insult or affron to the
people of Pennsylvania La Kentucky and
Tennessee thousands of graves are filled
with Pennsylvanians shot down BY the i'm
pressed soldiers of these very men, Bragg
meh f1naily responsible for the atrocities of
Andersonville and Libby, and Booth is A
name of execration not only to every LOYAL
but TO every honest man. 1t is distasteful
to speak of such matters as these or to mar
rate such incidents, but it is becoming ev-
cry hour more and more duty. From all
parts OF the country the evidence thickens
that the leaders of the lost causes are the
adopted wards of the Democracy. Not
their ignorant, unwashed, unthinking mass
es, but their best men, such men as they
are, Systematically pay respect to and cher
ish the memory of the nations foes, even
be they felons. y But, this insult to the
memory of the patriot; dead and the
wounded living, willreceiye just and over
wheiming rebuke at the hands of the loyal
and law abiding voters, at the October and
November elections.

The true Doctrine of The Qemnnranu-


The Lagrange Texas Ne,o Era of the
18th ult, supporting the nominations of
Seymour and Blair, frankly and pointedly
sets forth the real Democratic Doctrine as
follows:
These thirteen Independent States crea-
ted the Constitution. In consequence Of an
erroneous idea about the Union, they have
labored under the equally foolish one that
the Union was absolutely designed TO be
perpetual. This was an error. Like
the marriage compact, when pliqhted faith
Is violated and honor impeached it man. II
must be broken The laws of man2tbe
Id"S OF God, demand that 1t shall be broken.
S"c' a Union ,ciU be broken unless held To-
9ffI'er by brute force; By ne Uoo,ly suord
o me parri,cide in shame, degrddafjon and
man.
We like this Outspoken candor. 1t re-
veals exactly what the Democra ie platform
means. They don't trouble themselves in
the South about bonds and taxation. for

nc ourthers upon the Northern Democracy

The Rebel Way.

The Seymour and Blair men in Texas.
as in all the Southern States, have adopted
a rather ''norel mode TO swell the Demo
cratic ranks, and deplete the Republican,
as willbe seen by the following extract from
letter from Jefferson county, in that state.
1.-The mob of Ku Kluxers 90 the rounds
every night The morning question now Is:
What did the Ia kluxers do last night ?
They visited a shop last evening and Killed
one negro ard beat another one almost to
death. The charge against the negroes was
that they would not abandon the Loyal
League and join the Democratic club. The
negroes are badly frightened, not knowing
which of them viii lie called upon next and
killed. The mob of ku klux is composed
chiefly of boys about town. 1t is understood
who they are.
Another letter from the same locality,
and of a subsequent date, says:
The killing goes bravely on Last night
two white men were killed AT the same place
where the negroes were killed the night be-
fore. There can be no doubt that the same
party is doing it all. They can be identified,
but those who know them are afraid TO test
ify. Everybody knows vino are the guilty
party, and yet nothing is done They feel
that there are many who pass for good citi-
zens who like to see it going on. Many have
discharged from their employment all freed
men who have declined TO join the Demo
cratic Club. This has much to do with en-
cnuraging the young drinking and reckless
men every night in squads of eight or ten,
armed to the teeth, on horseback. They
have sworn to have certain ones. Things
are terrible here, and getting worse. Every
one asks in the morning Who was killed
last night?'' How many ?"
Now, what can be said for cause, or for
the candidate ola party, that has to rely on
murder as the means to give it strength
Surely the peace loving people of the coun-
try will not sanction such 6utrages by elect
ing Seymour and Blair

Something for the Farmer.


The Democratic raid against the farmers,
which under the pretense of equaltaxation,
advocates the assessment of lands at their
full value, and their liability to an equal
share of the public burthens, is very clearly
declared in the n w York Platform Val
landigham of Ohio, who was leading spirit
in that National Convention, is now can
dldate for Congress is his own district. To
make this idea still more clear, if possible,
he submitted some resolutions to Demo
cratic Convention at Dayton, a few days
since, and the same were adopted, one of
them reading as follows:
Resolced That we are in favor of equaliz-
ing the burdens OF the people upon all class
es OF property, and regard, as IA fundamental
principle OF tfee gOvernn ent, which no leg
islatlve body has the right to violate. that
no species of property that is created or can
claim protection by the laws, can be proper
ly and lawfully exempted from its due share
OF the public burdens.
under this resolution and under the New
York Platform, the lands and farm products
OF the agricultural classes are to escape from
taxation, dollar for dollar, according to their
real value, the same as other properly .?
Are they taxed now? And how, too. shall
1t be with the workingmans home-his
house and lot which embody his savings for
years?
