The New Departure" Movement
Once More.

We find in late number of the
Hartford Comm Times long article
upon the "new departure" question
from which we take the following sub
stmtial paragraph, approvingly:
"The new departure recommended
by the late Mr., Nallaudigham, and
adopted to some extent by the demo-
Gratis Of Ohio and Pennsylvania, is
really no "departure" from any
thing in the principles CT the
democratic party, The democrats
have always stood by the Constitution,
but they have never endorsed, and ncy-
er will endorse, the infamous means
by which the new amendments were
secured. On a fair and honest vote Of
all the people these amendments could
never have been adopted, They were
secured by fraud and force. They

radical editors seem TO think The
Supreme Court as it stands changed
by radicalism does not 90 behind these
acts. What the so-calIcd "Ncw De-

established parts Of the Constitution
rot to endorse them. This rccogni-
ton ends the negro as a lcycrin radical
politics. The radical editors don't
quite like that.

The Illinois Republican State
Central Committee recently held &
meeting to prepare for the fall cam

mittee that ULYSSES S. GRANT is NOT
the proper person for the party to run
on the Presidential ticket next year,
and demand that the next candidate
shall be a civilian, experienced ii
government affairs. The heads Of that
Committee are 'level," no mistake
They don't want to be defeated.

Is breathed directly into the Lungs, and
through them is carried into the blood. Then
soon as the blood will carry it, it reaches all
parts Of the system, dccomposing the impure
matter in the blood, and eXpclling it through
pores. The results from this mode of treat
ment are immediate. Patients do not have to
experiment with it for months to learn whclh-
er they are being benefited. Good results are
experienced upon the first trial, and but few
applications are necessary to effect cure in
any durable case.

Watch fhe RalInt Rnres-

4 We call upon the Democrats of ev-
cry ward, township and precinct in the
State, to watch well the ballOt-bOXes,
both during the depOsiting of the bal
lots and the counting of them after
the polls close. We have not a parti-
Gle of doubt that the Democrats have
carried Ohio for several years past
both Thurman and PendletOn were
elected Governors, and especially that
the Democrats carried the First Con-
gressional District over Eggleston in
favor of Pendleton, and that the count
Of the ballots, had it been fair, would
have so declared. The ballots were
there, but the count was a fraud.
Democrats should be appointed to
watch the ballOt-bOXes, from the open
ing to the closing Of the polls, and
then TO watch them until AL the votes
are counted. This last is indispensa-
BILE. And, for the performance of this
work, Democrats should be selected
who are wide-awake, sharp and active
not sleepy-heads, or who can be di.
verted from the sole object they should
have in view, or be purchased. This
IS q matter the Democrats can not af.
ford to neglect. If it is worth while
to vote, it is worth while TO see that
the votes put in the .ballOt-bOxes are
not only counted, but correctly.
The above is from the Cincinnati
Enquirer of Thursday last, The as.
sertions in it are OfnO Importance, but
when the Democratic Enquirer calls
upon its readers to watch ballot-boxes
for fear of Republican frauds" /" it be.
hoOves Republicans to keep their
fweather-eyer on the Democracy
This "stop thief cry will not do from
that source. The people have heard
of the New York frauds in stufIing
ballot-bOxes and issuing fraudulent
naturalization papers. And right in
our District We can point TO Demo,
cratic frauds of every description.

ASuspicious Report.

A. NJ. Jackson the Democratic can.
didate for Judge in the 4th Sub-divi.
sion of the Sd Judicial District, has
just returned to his home at Bucyrus
from a trip to the northern part Of tho
! District, and according to the Forum
he made a report which will greatly
surprise the people whom he visited
He says; ''Fhe enthusiasm is un.
bounded. The Democracy are al
alive, active, vigilant, and determined
on success. His stay among them
was acOntinual triumph. Crowds fol.
lowed him wherever he went. The
Republicans in those counties are loud
and defiant in their declarations that,
as il is narrowed down to voting for
one of two Democrats for Judge, they
will "yote for Jackson - the straight
out, manly nominee, in preference to
Mott, the suppliant, cringing, faWn-
ing apOstate.'" r.
This will be fresh news i'm Wood and
Hancock, where Mr.. JacksOn's eyes
alone were permitted 20 behold the
'unbOUnded enthusiasm and the
continual triumph" Republicans,
who propose to vote for that straight
Outn rebel and draft resister, in prefer
ence to a loyal Union soldier, would
be hard to find. Taken together, Mr..
JaeksOn's report Of his exploits and
prospects furnish . rare case Of reck-
Iessness and fmpudence. The emer-
gency must be great indeed, that
forces him to cOncOct such stuff. IL
sounds very much like the boys
whistling in passing a graveyard
only designed TO keep Up courage.
Il is quite significant, That Mr.. Jack
son makes no report OfSeneca county.
