March. Give US your views at length,
and we will have them published in
our valuable paper, the ".Screech-olCl Of
Fyeed0m.n GEORGE.
IN rHE VALE, March l, 1869
DEAR GEORGE:-Yours of the 23d
uit., reached me while | was trying a
case, before Justice Jones, involving
the constitutionality of the Tenure of
Office Act. am glad that you have
acted upon my suggestion, as it affords
me magnificent opportunity Of say
ing thing or two which / otherwise
could not have done. The so-called
''original Republicans shall hear from
me. They shall learn that the spirit
of William Maclay, of whom l am q
lineal descendant, and whose coguo-
men | so proudly bear, shall stand up
for its rights. But am loathe to say
that your candidate / cannot be. Brief
ly allow Inc o assign my reasons. In
the first place, you must know that l
have had the honor thrust upon me by
his loyal Highness, the Governor Of
this great commonwealth of four mil
lions of souls, to revise certain laws, for
which am paid the p0ltry sum of five
thousand dollars year. This "legis-
lative job" may take years of toll.
But there are other more powerful
reasons. The aforesaid ''original Re
publicans" have placed themselves in
''battle array" against the aspirations
of all who lately joined their ranks for
the sole purpose of riding into power
They are making faces" at US when
we but ask pay for the sacrifices we
made to save their wanning cause from
utter ruin. This is the "unkindest cut
of ALL" Didn't Cessna, Spooney But
Ter and myself, the very best material
of the Democracy come over and make
the Republican" party respectable? ?
Didn't we cry "COpperhead" like the
very old scratch? And as l, on former
occasions, went about to prove the di-
Vinity of one of the "relics of barbar-
ism" so am / even now ready to get
down on my knees and eat dirt with
one Of Buffers spoons. Yea, more, /
am ready to acknowledge "the univer-
sal brotherhood of man"-that is to
say, there is no difference between me
and the other colOred folks. In all
conscience, l ask, should more be re-
quired to make me intensely loyal.
But this subject is unpleasant to dwell
upon. We should hare no family jars.
The Democracy acithOW are getti5ty too
COMPOUNDED Str0ng-t08 can't afford ii.
Allow me to add one thing more. If [
AM to be deprived of the ''spoils," !" L feel
determined that Washabaugh and
Mullin shall also be left in the cold. /
have Just discovered that Bedford
county is not entitled to the candidate,
this bein5 FuItOn's turn. So these fel-
lows might just as well quit.
Please say to my friends, that for the
reasons above stated, am no candi- |
date. The look ahead is dark to me-
feel constrained to decline. | am
doomed. Renegade Democrats have /
had their day. Farewell to all my as
pirations! "No Irish need apply"

There is no mistake about it, Plan
tation Bitters will ward off Fever and
Ague and all kindred diseases, if used
in time. No family need suffer from
this distressing complaint if they will
keep Plantation Bitters in the house,
and use it according to directions The
most important ingredient of this
medicine is Calisaya or Peruvian Bark,
which is known to be the finest and
