The Democratic Association Of Penn

everlasting form of humanity, the gentleman
in the wood pile, has at last destroyed 1t. For
many years this gentleman has been their sole
Prmciple OF life; now he Is about to become their
ending.
In pursuance of the call meeting was held
in the wigwam, Ninth and Arch streets, last
evening. Colonel Logan offered series of res

ResOlUcd That a committee Of i've be appointed by
this meeting, one OF whom shall be the President,
VINO shall examine into the expediency OF settling
the liabilities Of the association
Resolvcd That the said committee, or majority OF
them, have the power TO dissolve this organization
by the FIRST proyimo and report at meeting TO be
held on the twenty-ninth OF TINS month;
Resolved, That the conclusion arrived at by ma
1ority OF the committee be final.
Mr.. Lewis G. Cassidy, the President, then left
the chair, which was then occupied by Mr.Joseph
Megary.
Mr.. Cassidy took the floor and offered an
amendment, striking out that portion of Colonel
Logans resolution which provided for the COM
mittee dissolying the organization. lie took the
ground that no such power existed In the twenty
men then present The law gave them no right
to deprive four-ffths of the association of their
right of property in the manner proposed.
Mr.. Cassidy expressed himself as perfectly
Indifferent as to whether the association was
closed or continued.
Speeches were also made by Messrs. Magyar
gee, Berrell Logan, and Robinson.
Mr.. Kames made a characteristic speech, in
which he referred to the new doctrines which
were inaugurated by the new Saturday night
speeches. He was in favor of dlsbanding the
association at once; he did not want to see 1t go
into the power and hands of those who preached
the new doctrines. He for one was In favor of
q ''white mans government" and as of late
the association did not favor this view, ID had
better be dissolved.
Mr.. Cassidy's amendment was carried, and
the meeting adjourned to meet again on March
30, at ~ o'clock, when the question of continu-
ing or dissolving the association will be settled.

RAanE AT THR SouTH.-Some of the
planters in the South IRE not pleased
with the Ramie plant. A Southern
planter writes the Rural Carolinian
that he has had some experience
with Ramie, and has watched others
who have had more and he has sew
eral friends who would be glad to sell
all the Ramie roots they have got /;
.'and the probability is they would
be glad to pay somebody to get the
burned things out of the ground. /"
He says it is true, as some have as
serted, that "after the second year
weeds are not much trouble, and
adds Where it once gets a good
grip on a piece of land. that viii be
trouble enough for any planter who
tries it as spirited experimenter.'
I don't know q man who wouldn't be
glad to sell them. It will pay well as
long as you can find buyers for the
roots"

Fatal Disruption Of the Radical
Party Of Missouri.


A convention Of the harmonious
Radicals of Missouri was recently
held at Jefferson City for the pur-
pose of nominating a State ticket
to be voted for at the November
election. The contest for the CUB
ernatorial candidacy was narrowed
down to Governor McClurg, whose
proscriptive principles are well
known, and Ex-senator Brown,
who is in favor of the immediate
enfranchisement of the $4,000 Dem
ocratic voters who were disfran-
chised for sympathy with the
South during the late war. When
the Convention met it soon trans
PRED that the Brown delegates
were in the ratio Of about three to
four of all the members present. A
resolution was offered declaring
that the time had come for the en-
reimbursement of every voter in the
State, and was voted down by the
McClurg delegates who constitu-
ted a majority. The Brown dele
gates then promptly withdrew and
nominated Mr.. Brown for Govern
or on a liberal platform. The reg
ular Convention then nominated
Governor McClurg on proscript-
i've platform. It is understood, we
believe, that there is to be a full
Brown ticket for Congress and the
Legislature, and that the Demo-
Gratis will support it instead of
nominating q separate ticket of
their own. 1t will undoubtedly be
successful.
Mr.. Brown is a Kentuckian, a
grandson of John Brown. one of
the first U. s. Senators from Ken
lucky, and a grand nephew of
James Brown, one of the first O. S.
Senators from Louisiana. He was
tor many years the editor ofthe DEM
ocrat, when it was the organ of Col
onel Benton. He was six years in
the Legislature and four years in
the Senate Of the United States. In
1856 he made the first free-soil
speech ever made in the Missouri
Legislature. He is forty-five years
old and a gentleman of more than
average ability.

AFFABILrTY.-This quality must not
be COMPOUNDED with politeness; the lat
ter is the result of external polish. the
former an indication of goodness OF
heart. When the Able Raynal was
presented to Frederick the Great, sur
rounded by his generals, the monarch
held out his hand to him, offered him
a seat at his side, and said to him,
with simplicity worthy of the heroic
ages, "We are both of US old; let us sit
down together and converse" This
was something more than mere polite
ness.

The Franc0-Prussian War.

Dispatcehs received since our
last confirm the defeat of Mcmahon
at Sedan, and the surrender Of his
army together with the Emperor
Napoleon. Bazaine is still cooped
up at Metz and his surrender is
only matter of time. He could
be starved out in a very short time,
but perhaps tho Prussians, who
are anxious to march on to Paris,
may find it the more economical to
take it by assault. Strasburg still
holds out, but must surrender at no
distant day. The way to Paris
seems to be open, and sanguinary
struggle will doubtless soon take
place under it's walls.
In the meantime there is great
commotion in the French capital.
A republic has been proclaimed
with General Trochu, the war min
lister, as virtual dictator. The peo-
pie seem determinated to defend
their capital at all hazards. They
feel confident that new energy will
be infused into the troops by the
proclamation of a republic. Medi-
alton is talked of, favored in some
quarters and opposed in others.
No man can now see what the end
will be.

What Does Reason Say!

The little moagoose when bitten by
a deadly serpent resorts to certain
plant, eats Of it, and escapes the effect
of the poison. This is instinct. HUI
man beings on the other hand, must
depend on reason and experience in Sc
Letting the means Of protecting health
and life against unwholesome intluen-
ces. Now, what does reason say on
this vital snbjectq Does it not tell us
that to invigorate and purify the sys-
tenn is the best way to protect it against
the invisible poison which generates
disease % Surely it does. The next
question is, what guide shall we follow
in choosing a medicinal safeguard p
Reason replies let your monitor be ex-
pericnce. Well, the experience of
eighteen years comprised in one un-
broken series of satisfactory testimoni-
ais assures us that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters possess strengthening, regnla-
ting and antiseptic properties which
are not combined in the same happy
proportions in any other preparation
extant. This, therefore, is the anti
dote to which reason bids us resort
when our health is imperilled either by
the malaria which produces epidemic
disorders, or by any other cause, wheth-
or in horont oD1 constitutional mr. oon
nected with our habits, occupations
and pursuits.
The venom of noxious reptile is
scarcely more subtle and dangerous
than that which turks in foul air and
impure water. To escape the fevers,
bilious disorders, disturbances of the
bowels, and other serious maladies
produced by these insalubrious ele-
ments, it is absolutely necessary that
the stomach and all the secretive Or
gans should he, so to speak, in ro-
bust condition. Upon the amount of
resistance which the vital system can
oppose to the deleterious influences
that assail it, the safety of the health
depends, and it is because the GREAT
VEGETABLE INvIGoRANT imparts ener-
gy. and regularity to the most impor
tant functions of the body, that it can
be recommended and guaranteed as an
invaluable preventive medicine.

Successive often think that the
shock which Jars on the mental renders
yet softer the moral nature. A death
that is connected with love unites us
by thousand remembrance to all who
have mourned; it builds bridge be-
tween the young and the old; it gives
them in common the most touching of
human sympathies; it steals from nature
it's glory and it's exhilaration, not it's
tenderness.
