THE WEEKLY ARGUS.
REDUCTION IN PRICE.

ihere never was time in the history of oul
country when greater necessity existed for cir.
culating pure Democratic documents. Radical
legislation has made grave yard and desert of
half Of our country; our liberties have been in
irlnged upon to an alarming extent; overwhelm-
cd with debt and staggering under its load of
corruption and imbecility, our government is
the SCOT and by-word of foreign nations; disps.
ed at home and derided abroad, it is overhang
ing the very brink of destruction; the departure
of our people from the glorious precepts Of the
past, has led them into labyrinth Of anarchy
from which many see no escape but in military
desPotism The New York fnperiaAst, fornded
and supported by the bond holding aristocracy,
is laundering for the establishment Of an Empire;
its efforts receive the countenance of high gov
ernment officials, and the appreciation of the
manufacturing nabobs fthe East; we are rapid
ly drifting upon breakers which must soon test
the stability of the ship of State. There is no
nope for the future, save in rousng the people
to their duties citizens, and to realization of
the peril in which their liberties are placed. |
There is but one way to redeem the country from |
the demagogues and plunderers who are fast urg- |
ing it to ruin. The masses must return to the |
principles Of the fathers Of the Republic, drive |
from places of trust the spoilers fattening upon
the life blood Of the nation, and place in power
only those who will administer our affairs with
prudence and economy. There must be a
change in the government within the next four
years. The people must choose between Democ-
'acy and Imperialism The struggle has already
The Democratic party will be
ound, as in the past, battling against monarch
cal ideas, and for the supremacy of the people

With this object in view, we have determined
o reduce the price of the WEEKLY ARGUS, and

The young lady was much alarmed, and
ran for assistance. The family all ran into
the room and proceeded to open his shirt
collar, thinking he was in a tainting fit And
that the usual restoratives would suffice.
In undoing his vest it was found that the
needle had entered his side very deeply, a
circumstance which the young lady neysr
noticed in her fright. The doctor was sent
for. He administered what remedies ba
could. Partial consciousness was restorad

was extremely affecting. She weptlike one
who feels that all happiness on earth ia lost
he consoled her by saying that she would
get another lover soon to fill his place, who
would be more worthy of her than he could
ever hope to be, aud who would make her
happy This but increased her SORROW
she sank down on the floor beside him and
cried aloud.
When he was becoming worse, and the |
doctor gave the opinion that he could not |
liVe, she started suddenly to her feet, and, |
running into another room, swallowed a
heavy dose of laudsuum, which was kent |
.nere Tor the use of young member of the
family that was sick. 1t was some time be.
lore she was discovered, and it was with the
utmost difficulty that she could be brought
back to consciousness. The first word she
altered was, 80, where is he ? let me 20 to
