Roback's Stomach Bi.ters.

Some time ago, DIR. Roback, of Cincin-
natl, through his agent in this place, LA.
Maxwell, Esq, placed in our hands a bottle
of his Stomach Ritters, designed for dys-
pepsia, to give tone tothe stomach, as a
preventive against the bilious complaints
incident to the WESTERN country /; and, up
OF using it We regard it as second to none
in America or abroad. To be able to state
confidently that the Bitters are . certain
cure for dyspepsia and like diseases, is
to the proprietor a source of unalloyed
pleasure. 1t removes, all morbid matter
from the stomach, puri6es the blood, inn
parts renewed vitality to the nervous sys-
tenn, giving it that tone and energy so indis-
pensable for the resoration of health. The
numerous acknowledgements of its superior
excellence n benefcent results, have as
sured the proprietor that IL can not but
prove a great cure to the afflicted; andsim
part vitality to the through system. We
advise those who tse- bitters, to use none
but Roback's, which can be obtained at J.

The Primary Campaign.

1t seems proper, that a few -sugges
tons should be made in regard to the
manner of conducting the campaign:
prior to our primary nominations
An unusual number ofcandidates have
announced for the various offices I; and
these candidates so far, are very equal
" distributed over the county. The
result must be-, that a very close can
vass will have to be made to determine
who the lucky men shall be. In such
a canvass, it is the easiest possible
thing for candidates to falfinto the er.
ror of speaking d;sparagingly of each
other. To do SO, is to create bitter,
ness and resentment. All political
feuds arise from causes of this kind.
To maintain the ascendencyof Dem
ocratic principles in the county, har.
mony is essential. Everything that
is calculated to disturb harmony and
unity III OuE TdphS, cilOuiN bS NiSSN'h
tenanced by the people and the can
didates seeking their suffrages. Ifcan-
didates will discard all personal rehec-
tions concerning each other, and cul,
tivate kindly feelings, we know the
campaign will pass off pleasantly, and
candidates will emerge from the con,
test with kind regards for each other,
and then cheerfully and zealously sup
port the nominees.
1t is impossible for all 10 be noml-
mated, Somebody must be disappoint-
ed. Having conducted the campaign
in the spirit of generosity and honor,
the unsuccessful candidates need have
no regrets over defeat, for their time
may come in the future. We doubt
not, these suggestions will be taken in
to consideration and acted upon in the
spirit in which they are made. If SO,
We will grow stronger and har'
monious every year, while good men
will be selected TO fill all offices OF
trust. .

six packages of tobacco were recently

"Dead Issues"

We fear this expression, like that
of accepting the situation" is but
another name for Sinking very hUe
issues. Whether or not a people are
to recover their lost rights, is. and
never can be, a ''dead ISSUE" until
their souls are dead in cowardly sub
jugation. There are, ofcourse, "dead
issues" Notably, slavery is a dead
issue, for nobody wants it back again.
But redemption of State authority
within its constitutional bounds, and
the right of its people to fix the quail.
iications of suffrage, is not a dead
issue. We fin it hard to discern any
issue that is dead to the country,
North or South, in the whole system
of reconstruction legislation by Con.
gress. 1t is so far from being dead,
that if the Democratic party does not
gain control of the Federal Govern
ment and reform and undo at all,
there will be something else perma-
nentlG dead in this country, and
that is free, representative Republi-
can government.
There is another issue that is nei
ther dead nor will it be permitted 10
die, and that this was made a white
mans government for white men a-d
their posterity forever. and white men
have sworn the Jacksonian oath, ''by
the Eternal" it shall remain so. Read
from the Philadelphia Aqs, in another
column, aud see what the Disguised
pale faces OF Pennsylvania think and
say about it. The Pittsturg (Pa.)
Post, another unwavcring Democratic
paper has this very decided opinion
On the subject.
1t is the duty of the Democracy to
undo the revolutionary innovations
and retrieve the retrogressions of tie
Radical party. The cry of dead L.
sues is mere puerility. There can e
no temporizing INDUCED in. Satan
cannot be propitiated by burning in
cense under his nose. He must be
fought with his own weapons.
You cannot make a cd adj Issue" of
this instinct of the white race until
you open its veins and squeeze out

battle, in which many bodies of troops
were engaged began yesterday, but
was interrupted by darkness 1t was
resumed early this morning, and con-
tinued until this evening, when victory
declared for the French. Similar
rumors are current in Paris, affecting

Especial to New York Herajd. 1.-The
forward movement of the right of the
Prussian army from Treves and Sar-

Prussians captured Sierck and visorus-
ly attacked Thionville in overwhelm-
ing numbers. After some resistance.
the French threw away their arms and
took to flight. At the same time yes
terday the army commanded by the
Crown Prince moved in the direction
of Ritsche, the advance guard of the
French force making slight resistance.
TO day there was a general advance
of the whole German line. The King
has joined the army. Upward of two
thousand risoners have been forward
to Frankfort. The position of the
main body of the. French army is at
present unknown. The French forces
are supposed &c be concentrating at
Metz. MacMahon's corps is supposed
to have fallen back from Ritsche and
Hagenau toward Metz and Nancy.
