that line of policy has been vndcated by

we endanger the success of that measure,
as we'll as our entire ticket, by counte-
nancing any attempt to divide the party
on 60 pal,ry an issue, as to whom the
candidates will give their individual votes

Congressional candidates will receive
Democratic votes, aud if an excitement is

friends to be strictly covered by it.

Tribute to Gen. Anderson.

1t is not often that radical leaders arr
generous enough to speak canddly of prom
inent democrats, and we therefore hasten t.
make a note of the eloquent tribute paid tt
Gen. ". r. Anderson, democratic candidate
for congress at large, by Gov. Palmer, a
Springfield, while addressing radical meet
ing Tuesday night. He said
81 will digress to say that VIM. B. An
derson is one of the best and truest soldier
that ever went from the state of Illinois.
never had better colonel than | had il
VIM. b. Anderson. l see some of the re
publican papers assume to ignore him, anG
ask when he was made general 1t af-
fords me satisfaction to say that | saw hin
make his title to the rank of general undel
fire in front of the enemy"
This ia singing rebuke TO the Chicago
Tribune, that affected to know nothing o
the war record of this gallant soldier, ane
even insinuated that lis services might have
been rendered under the eolors of Davis anc
his confreres. In speaking of Gen. Anderson
Gov. Palmer speaks of gallant comrade
whose valor and fidelity to the Union he saw
tested in camp, on the march and upon
ensanguined fields. Amid the stern realities
OF war he discovered the metal Of the man
and learned to appreciate his great qualities
That Gov. Palmer thus rises above party
prejudice and bitterness to refute the insin
uations and assaults Of dishonest Journalists
against Gen. Anderson is evidence that the
latter is a man of more than ordinary virtue
and qualifications.

We find that there is an opinion that
somewhat extensively prevails, that the
minority representation clause is to come
into force At the election on the 9Th OF
Novamber. This is not the case. That
x;ll come in force st the next representative
s,ac,;on. and not before. The following il
the part of the new constitution referring to
that matter I:
The house of representatives shall consist
of three times the number of the members of
the senate, and the term of office shall be
two years. Three representatives shall be
elected in each senatorial district at the
general election in the year of our Lord
1872, and every two years thereafter. In
ali elections of representatives aforesaid, each
qualified voter may cast as many votes for
one candidate as there are representatives
to be elected, or may distribute the same, or
equal part thereof, among the candidates,
as he shall see fit, and the candidates high
est in votes shall be declared elected.
In 1872 the representatives will be elected
BY senatorial districts three representa-
sives to a district, and then voter can
deposit the three votes for one candidate,
or give two to one and one to another, or
give each one, but the old method is fol-
lowed in the coming election. The consh
tuition does not provide for the election of
any other candidates by the minority repre-
seutation method.

English Female BitterS,

OF the result in Pennsylvania the Har-

piney woods of Mississippi, il found a certain
hard and finty root, which has been in secret use
by some old nidwives for many ears possessing
magic powers in regulating and restoring all
females suffering with any affection of the womb.
This root we have obtained, ave it fair test in
our practice and IL is now of the principle
ingredients in these Bitters. Other powerful
uterine and general tonics also enter into its
competition. We also add Leptandra or Black
root, sufficient to act upon the liver and keep the

Female Complaint,

That claims its victims throughout the length
and breadth of our land.
Many females suffer in some way at each
monthly period; some girls are in great peril at
the commencement Of menstruAtion, while older
once dread its decline at the "turn OF life." Some
times the menstrual flow is too much, too lit
tie, or may be attended with pain; may be ir-
regular or entirely checked, or changed in sp-
pesrance, atten ded with other distressing symp-
toms Leucorrhes, or the "W hites,'' frequently

Falling of the womb is an exceedingly COM
mon complaint, giving much trouble and distress
which, under ordinary treatment, lie difficult to
cure.

Womb. and c:her serious and fatal complaints
follow the female throughout life. Lives

agents that will come to her rescue? We AL

republicans of Peoria the following advice {:
Let the ticket be scanned, fairly and

upon it, draw the pencil across their names
without fear or hesitation. The party will
be all the stronger for this searching criti-

is lighter than the disease.
If the republicans of this district will fol
