SpAcial Notice.

We wish to call the attention of our readers 10 the column advertisement headed "Purify Your Blood" to all the articles mentioned in it. All those afflicted by disease, or who have friends suffering from sickness, should care fully read, and we know they will derive pro- fit from it. It gives us much pleasure to be able in this manner to recommend to our rpeo- pie these remedies, as years of trial show they fully deserve. Dr. Thos. A. Hurley's Sarsaparilla, the Great Blood Purifier, needs only to be tried to be fully appreciated. His Bitters, (Hurley's,) are the best and purest now offered for sale. For debility and loss of appetite no others ought to be used. Hurley's Ague Tonic is harmless in it's effect and never fails to cure if used by directions. Try it. Also his Worm Candy, (Hufley's,) cannot be equalled; any child will take 1t. So 1t is with Dr. Seabrook's Soothing Syrup. the best and safest now offered, as no bad effects ever oc- cur from using it. Mothers try one bottle, and in future you will get no other. Also Dr. Seabrook's Elixir of Pyrophosphate of iron aud Calassya; also Dr. Bettison's Eng. Horse Liniment, and James Puddle < Cos Ext. Jam. Ginger. An the above remedies are unequalled; we cannot understand why their remedies might not as well be taken in the special diseases for which they are recom- mended, with as much confidence as the pre-. serirtiou of q regular physician.

 something to Think of.

The Radical leaders,-not the rank and file of the Radical party we trust and believe,-mean revolution in the event of the election of Seymour and Blair by the people of the States. They have the power of counting the votes under the law, and have declared, in advance, by the joint resolution rela- ting to this subject, what States shall have their votes counted and what States shall not. They will admit those only which vote with the majority in Congress, and exclude those which show preference for some other candidate. Virginia will be thrown out, with the votes of Mississippi and Texas, while the votes of States like Arkansas and Flordia will be received. If then, the States of Virginia, Missis- sippi and Texas vote for Seymour and Blair, twenty-one electoral votes will be cast for the Democrtic candidates, and these will be excluded,-but the question returns must we, ought we, submit to measure so revolutionary Is there not virtue enough in the peo- pie to frown upon such injustice and compel the Radicals to count the votes cast according to the will of the people and the Constitution of the United States? We hope for the best, though We confess often to fear the worst. Senator Trumbull when the joint resolution was before the Senate, warned his party of the danger of ex- cluding the electoral votes of States by act of Congress. The consequences, he said, might be another civil war, and as a wise man he desired that no such results should grow out of the revolutionary purposes of men who lead the Radical party.

Seymour.

Chas. B. Wilkinson, native of Oneida, New York, who has known Gov. Seymour from boyhood, is the editor of the Radical newspaper, the St. Joseph Herald. He thus candidly alludes to the great states man of New York, Horstio Seymour:
 'With the nominee of the Democratic party for the responsible and honored po- sition of Chief Magistrate of the only free Republic in the world, we have been per sonally acquainted from our earliest in- fancy. We heard him make his first po- litical speeches, and have ever known him as an upright cititizen, conscientious Christian, but most firm and uncom- promising adherent of the Democratic party. As an orator-a pleasing, persua- sive public speaker he has not an equal. Although everything will be said against him which human ingenuity can invent, and the English language coin into speech, not Republican in the city of Utica, his home, will breath suspicion upon his purity of private character, his urbanity and humanity in social life, his spotless morality or his integrity and honesty. But his political character, his course dur ing the war, his speeches in 1861, his opposition to nearly all of MT. Lincoln's efforts to subdue the rebellion, will be theme of every Republican journal and orator, not only in Utica, but throughout the State Of New York, and all over the Union.
 Governor Seymour is now in the fifty seventh year of his age, though he looks to be ten years younger than that. Tall, rather slender-though of late years more feshy than formerly-possessed of com, handing presence high, broad forehead ]; a keen, dark brown eye; hair almost black, and fallen of considerably immediately over the temples; a fluent talker, always speakingin the conversational style, though often growing truly eloquent with the sub jeot he is absorbed in the discussion of. Governor Seymour was, fifteen years ago, and probably now is the idol of the young Democracy of the Empire State

Two Old. Sinners.

Few people have probably ever ex- pected to see the venerable Mir. Thad. Stevens read out of the Republican party by the scarcely less venerable editor of the New York Tribune. We can scarcely credit our eyes when we see the latter undertaking to prove that Stevens is "a fit ally for the Pendletons, Rosses and Blairs." The article which contains this startling explosion is headed "Mr. Stevens for Repudiation," ]" the alleged proof whereof is his re- marks in the late debate in the House on the Funding bill, wherein he indica- ted that he agreed with both the Chi cago and New York platform as to the mode of paying the outstanding bonds, and was in favor of paying the Five twenties in greenbacks. Not content with this, he said:
 elf knew that any party in this country would go for paying in coin that which is payable in money, thus enhancing it one half; if knew there was such platform and such determi- nation this day on the part of any party, I would vote for the other side, Frank Blair and all. l would vote for no such swindle upon the tax payers of tuC COunL | | WOulu tOtC lOl uO buCA speculation in favor of the large bond holders, the millioniares, who took advantage of our folly in granting them coin payment of interest. And I de- clare-well, it is hard to say-but if even Frank Blair stood upon the plat form paying the bonds according to the contract, and the Republican candi- dates stood upon the platform of pay s,,.~ t>l tnA Al amount which we agreed to pay them, then would vote for Frank Blair, even if worse man than Seymour headed the ticket. That is all want to say.'
 MT. Ross-"The Democratic doors are still open,. and we will take the gentleman in."
 The Tribune loses it's balance at this, endeavors to convict Mr. Stevens of inconsistency, and says .'he is a very old man and forgets many things" It winds up with the following feroci- ous blast:
 ''If he wishes to swindle efficiently, let him join the party to which swind- ling is natural-that which will gratify by repudiation its partisan malignity as well as it's innate rascality. Mir. Ross courteously opens the doors of the Democratic church for his reception. He says he will enter if the Republicans will not help him defraud the national creditors. That, we tell him, they will never do. Let him, therefore.
 Stay not on the order of his going,
 But go at once.''
 The old Radical lion must have be- come every Old," and near his end, when the Tribune ventures to bark at him in that way.-[ Baltimore Sun.

Having had indubitable evidence of it's prompt and certain effects from the testimo- ny of multitude of respectable citizens, among whom are classed some of our best physicians, we do not hesitate to recommend this Preparation in all cases of Fever and Acue and Chills and Fever: indeed, from the facts in our possession of it's 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. It is pleasant to the taste, and the cheapest medicine in the world. There fore, in truth, it may be declared the day is not far distant when it must be appreciated and used in every household where Fever and Ague or Chills and Fever is found to exist
 The wonderful operation of the Texas Ton ic Syrup in neutralizing the effects of mala- rious poison in the human system, can only explain it's extraordinary agency in the speedy, thorough and permanent cure of Chills and Fever or Fever and Ague, and all their kindred diseases, in whatever form of Bilious Complaints they may make their ap- pearance.
 As it's name imports, 1t is a Tonic of rare and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and harmless ingredients, and are so united as to form compound alike skillful in art beau tiful in appearance, and can be taken with safety to the most delicate constitutions. It is the result of lifetime of experience and practice in Southern climate, and was nev- CT known to fail, even where all othe reme- dies had been tried in vain.
 Those who are unacquainted with the ex- traordinary properties of this home produc- ton, manufactured from Roots and Plants indigenous to the soil of our sunny South, '" land Lence adapted to the cure of Southern te T al referred to the certificates of respectable citizens whose names are embraced in pamphlet which accompanies each bottle; also the en- dorsements of the press in all the Southern States, indicating the many thousand cures already performed by our justly celebrated Texas Tonic Syrup.
 The reports from hundreds of Druggists, Merchants and Dealers, from all parts of the country, are uniform in stating the medicine is safe, certain and reliable, as substitute for Quinine and the poisonous compounds heretofore generally sold. and is rapidly supplanting everything of this class.
 As home enterprise il especially com mends itself to the people of this section of the country, who are now struggling in an effort to do away with old prejudices in favor of foreign produce, and may we not hope foreign .sQuack Nostrums," the proprietors of which. in most cases, are governed by mo- thing but mercenary motives, know nothing of the properties of Medicinal Agents, and care nothing for our interests, except to en- tice our people into the use of their vile mixtures.

From the Cairo Democrat, July 20] Helpless GraAt--An Incident In
 His Life.

While Grant was in Msysville, Ken lucky, lately, a crowd appeared in front of the hotel at which he was--lodging, and called upon him for speech. In company with Hon. W. H. Wadsworth he appeared upon the balcony and said:
 "GENTLEsfEN am very glad to see you, but you must not expect any speech from me. leave that with my old schoolmate, Mir. Wadsworth."
 The New York World says that as Grant refers to his ''recorC," and as this is fair sample of his recorded speeches. we may presume, in the very improbable event of his election to the Presidency, his inaugural will be as follows:
 "GENrLEMEN am very glad to see you, but you must not expect any speech from me. l leave that to my old schoolmaster, Mir. Washburne."
 This presumption is not violent, and no fact is more patent than that this man of war is almost helpless. He is, in fact, in the hands of his friends, and is used by them to accomplish their own purposes. The recital of an incl dent in his life at Cairo-an incident the truth of which can be established by incontrovertible testimony-will clearly illustrate this fact. One day, while the headquarters of General Grant were established in this city, a gentleman, without notice, as was his custom, entered the Generals office.
 As he stepped across the threshold he heard these words: "Y ou d--d fool, did you sign this paper, and without consulting me? You will ruin every thing: and if ever you do so again, without my permission, I will raise h--ll in this establishment" The speaker was General Rawlins. and he was addressing General Grant, who sat listening to him with a meaning less smile upon his face. As Rawlins con cluded he tore the paper to pieces, and threw it on the floor. This is no fiction, but the truth, and it shows how completely the Radical nominee for President is under the control of his chief of staff. With Grant as President, Rawlins will be the power behind the throne greater than the throne itself, and Washburn will be his only con- fidant and adviser.

I am doing pretty large country practice. and have daily use for some article of the kind. lam free to confess that know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors that is so certain and speedy in it's effects. On the contrary they are un- certeain in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is to find upon what terms I can get the medicine directly from you. If can get it upon easy terms, I shall use great deal of it. I am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of q great majority of the reguiar line of M D. 8, but see no just cause or good sense in dis carding remedy which we know to be eHi- cient, simply because we may be ignorant of it's combination.
