The first plank of the platform of the
Democrats of Georgia declares that the
Democrats of that State, standing upon the
principles of the party throughout the Union
bring into especial prominence, as applicable
TO the present extraordinary condition of the
country. the Interchangeable doctrines that
thissis union of States, and that the in
destructibility of the States and of their
rights and of their equality with each other
is an Indispensable part OF our political sys-
tenn" 1t is bold reafirmation of the priuci-
pies for which the rebellion was inaugurated
and upon it no doubt the Democracy from
Maine to Texas are united

The Philadelphia Press says II is really
refreshing to hear of the Maine Democracy
meTciessly riddiIng Grants admins ration
by solcmniy resolving that ''it has violated
its sacred pledges to the people, furnishing
extravaganza and corruption instead of econ
omy and faithfulness in national affairs
Unfortunately for the Maine Democracy the
figures are against them. Figures never lie.
and resolutions do, which makes the dif-
ference. Then perhaps, the Maine Demo-
cratic papers don't publish the statements
about the collection of the revenue, aud the
payment of the nat ional debt, which very
serlousy tends to mix things in Maine, thus
'endangering the liberties of the people. "

THE FRENCH -PRUSsIAN WAR.
What is Doing.

A series of battles we're fought between
the French General, Mcmahon, on last
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and the
Prus.ians, resulting in defeat TO the French
and driving them into Sedan. Later ac-
counts give the capitulation and surrender
of the entire army of Mcmahon to the Prus-
SLAMS. The Emperor Napoleon, who was
in Sedan at the time, also surrendered him
self 10 King William The Frerch engaged
in the battles at Sedan numbered near 200,
600, and Prussians about 240 ,O00 McMa-
hon was among the wounded. The loss on
both sides was very heavy.
Bazaine is still cooped up in Metz, after
having made a fruitless attempt to cut his
way out during the engagements at Sedan.
His capitulatioE is now looked for.
Whether thi. signal defeat of the French
will end the war remains to be seen,
but, evidently, the reign of Napolon is at
an end

PROMPT TREATMENT,
To Render Existence Desirable,

IF YOU ARE SUFFERING OR HAVE SUI
L fered from involuntary discharges, what
effect does it produce upon your general health?
Do you feel weak, deblitated, easily tired ?
Does little extra exertion produce palpitaton
of the heart? Do your liver or urinary organs
or your kidneys frequently get out Of order
Is your urine thick, milky or sloppy, or is it
ropy on settling? Or does a thick scum rise to
the top? Or is a sediment at the bottom after it
has stood awhile? Do you have spells of short
breathing or dyspepsia? Are your bowels con-
stipated? Do you have spells of faintng or
rushes Of blood to the head? Is your memory
impaired? Is your mind constantly dwelling on
this subject? Do you feel dull, listless, moping,
tired of company, of life? Do you wish to be
left alone, to get away from everybody? Does
any little thing make you start or jump? Is
your sleep broken or restless? Is the luster OF
your eye as brilliant? The bloom on your cheek
as bright? Do you enjoy yourself in society as
well? Do you pursue your business with the
same energy? Do you feel as much confidence
in yourself? Are your spirits dull and tagging
given to fits of melancholy? If so, do not lay
it to your liver or dyspepsia. Have you restless
nights? Your back weak, your knees weak, and
with but little appetite; and you attribute this
to dyspepsia or liver complaint?
