THE WEEKLY ARGUS.
REDUCTION IN PRICE.

There never was time in the history of our
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
fringed upon to an alarming extent; oycrwhelm-
ed with debt, and staggering under its load of
corruption and imbecility, our government is
the scoG and by-word of foreign nations; dispis.
ed at home and derided abroad, it is overhang
ing the very brink of destruction; the departure
Of our people from the glorious preccpts Of the
past, has led them into labyrinth of anarchy
from which many see no escape but in military
despotsm. The New York Hmperalisf, founded
and supported by the bond holding aristocracy,
is laundering for the establishment of an Empire;
its efforts receive the countenance of high gov
eminent officials, and tho appreciation Of the
manufacturing nabobs the East we are rapid
ly drifting upon breakers which must soon test
the stability Of the ship of State. There is no
to their duties as citizens and to u 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
change in the government within the next four
years. The people must choose between Democ-
racy and Imperialism. The struggle has already
The Democratic party will be

Circulate the documents.
With this object in view, we have determined
to reduce the price of the WEEKLY ARGUS, and
hope, thereby, to place it in the hands of every
Democrat in the county, and within the reach

Recent Publications.

We have received from the pIblishe rs No.
AZ of the Scdlpel-a Quarterly Expositor of the
Laws of Health and abuses of Medicine and
Domestic Life, edited by Edward RI. Dixon,
M D., and published in New York. 1t is fitly
named. 1t puts the knife into many of the em-
piracal practices of the medical profession, and
into the abounding alb uses that have grown
out of our luxurious habits and hot-bed civil
ization. The subjects treated Of in this num-
ber among others are our Sewers and Tenant
Houses, Nature of Cholera and Kindred Dis
eases, The Economy Of Brown Stone Fronts
and Basement Kitchens, Houses for Poor
Men. These subjects are treated in straight
forward and vigorous style with much plain
speech that everybody can understand, and
the counsels given and warnings uttered are
worth the serious attention of all persons hav-
ing the public health and virtue at heart, or are
properly solicitous for the welfare of their own
children. MHN
THE WEsTMINsTER REVIEW for April re-
published by Leonard Scott 14O Fulton st,
New York has been for some days upon our
table. 1t contains a very readable article on
the progress of English colonization and civil
ization in South Africa-a critique upon the
Gladstone administration, a query as to the
utility Of the secret ballot, q decided protest
against modern humanitarianism as to its
methods of dealing with pauperism and crime,
and number of other less readable papers
upon philosophic and theological criticism.
