''1Thiskey Has Used Him Up."

There is scarcely Il community or neigh
borhood from Maine to Oregon where
this saying is not used almost every day
i'll the year, and altogether too truly. A
subject of this kind is to be found i'll al
most every town. The merchant has
failed and whiskey has done it. The
lawyer, with Il brilliant talent and u
large business has fallen below therange
OF respectabiity and confidence; whis-
key WAS the cause. The politician, with
bright prospects before him has played
ou', and the account is charged to whis-
key. The Judge, of talent, age and re-
spectability, is the subject OF private and
neighborhood talk. His enemies point
with derision, and his friends hang their
heads iu shame and whiskey has done
it. That kind hearted neighbor and hard
working man has become pest to So
ciety and trouble to his family. Whis-
ky has beat him. Whisky will beat any
man living, and that is just what it Is
made for. ....,

Address to the Cherokees

A dispatch from Big Cabin Creek, In
dian Territory, dated June 90, to the St
Louis Republican, has the following no
tice Of a speech to the Indians by Major
z. C.. BouDlNoI:
BY invitation OF the Cherokees of this
District, Col. +. G. Boudinot addressed
4 large number of people at this place to
day The Colonel criticised the course
OF their delegates in not giving full ac
count of the actual condition of the
country, said that a crisis WAS upon them
that should DO met as intelligent men,
that however much they might regret it,
10 great change in their condition would
soon como, and as wise men they would
prepare to meet 1t. He claimed that there
was only conditional sale Of their land
west uf 06; which condition had been
violated on the part Of the government.
He addressed them to accept the situa-
tion, have their lands sectionized and the
balaAcc of their lands sold. These lands
would yield them ten millions Of dollars,
besides six hundred acres Of land to each
family, which in ten years would be worth
fifteen thousand dollars, making them
the erichest community in the world.
lie was listened to with marked atten
ton. and his speech will set the people
70 thinking on these important questions.

The Death of Vallandigham.

/ On another page Of our paper, We give the
particulars of the death OF this distinguished
gentleman, The following just tribute to his
memory, we copy from the st. Louis Tines
OF the 18th.
| On the 18th of May, after Il political retire
ment OF nearly ten years, Clement j" Val
landigham, of Ohio, appeared III convention
of his Democratic fellow-citiZens at Dayton,
with series of declaratory resolutions con-
cernng the duties and policy of the party,
which, by their candOr, boldness and patriot
ic spirit, electrified the country. When last
prominently before the public, Mr.. Nallandi-
CHAM was the apparently irreconcilablc OPP
ponent OF the war measures of the Admins
tration, uiiabashed by the passionate judg-
ments ofmcn who pronounced him Il traitor
and thereby incurrlng the vihdictlce crnsure
of the government for the audaciOus sincerity
of his convictions.
The war had long since ceased, its settle
mcnts beer Incorporated in the organic law
of the land, the reSentments Of sectional strife
mcasurably cooled, when Mr. Nallandigham
Is again announced as manfully accepting
those results, foregoing his old opinions for
the sake of the public good, and defining a
process whereby to save the country from the
residuary abuses of Republican legislation
Never was nobler acquiescence extended to
the accomplished work OF political oppo-
nent: and never was Keynote to action
sounded that found so clear an echo through
out the country.
The genial and gifted gentleman, who
touched the popular chord with such mas
terly hand and to whom men were but yes
terday looking for counsel and strength in
the peaceful contests OF the future, reposcS
to-day in the slumbers of death at his home
in Dayton, the victim ofa cruel accident and
the center of a national sorrow.
Mr.. Nallandigham was n native of Column
bia county, Ohio a lawyer by profession yet
minging actively in politics tor II number of
years and a member of Congress tor three
successive terms, being first elected to the
Thirty.ifth by a successful contest with The
Hon. l.. ID. Campbell. During the war, i'm
pressed with the great danger of the arbitra-
ry and unconstitutional measures then OBJ
tanning at Washington, he vehemently OPP
posed the military policy of the government
and suffered temporary banishment from the
Federal lines Tor his political opinions.
In abilities of mind and generosity ofhcart
his was the prominence that stamped him
truly great. Honorable to a fault, honest In
his judgments, outspoken in his opinions q
Il Jealous lover his country, and IA sincere
sympathizer with his race, he dies without an
aspcrson resting on his fame-without an
enemy TO traduce the manly symmetry of his
character. Not yet iiity years age, he passes
of the stage OF action, in the prime Of a well
moulded life, and at a time when the country,
it would seem, could least spare the eminent
services which were so recently pledged To
It's restored welfare and harmony.
Brave patriot, Christian gentleman, long
and sad farewell.
