THURSDAY. AUGUST 81. 1871.
EXTRA TRIBUNE.

The State of New-York is to be recovered
from the clutches of her Democratic misrulers
This Fall. Fraud, mountainous and deliberate,
gave her Electoral Votes to Seymour and
Blair in 1868; Fraud, reiterated and extended
has since kept her under the sway of Hoffman
and Tweed. Moneys stolen by Millions from
the taxes or added to the debt of her great
City, has been used with effect to forge and
distribute certificates of Naturalization by the
Ieam to grind out voters who had not been
two years i'll this country, to subOrn twelve
make false returns. The net result is the
autocracy of Tweed, Connolly and Hall, the
purchase of Winans and other betrayers of
their trust, and the saddling of the metropolis
with Millions on Millions of Debt which rep
resents nothing but fraud, forgery and theft.
Such is the rough outline of long career of
mated in burden of taxation and mountain
of debt at which prOperty-hOlders may well
stand aghast, wondering what remains unre-
Vealed.
Our friends III the rural districts may fairly
ask, "Why is special effort needed to correct
"abuscs so palpable and redress wrongs so
"enormous ~ We answer, Their enormity is
the stronghold of their perpetrators. Money
stolen by Millions buys fraudulent votes by
tens of thousands. To facilitate illegal voting
by wholesale, all the safeguards whereby Re-
publicanfegislatiOn had surrounded the Right of
Suffrage have, under Democratic rule, been
deliberately broken down. There is no more
a Registration of Legal Voters except in our
City, and here it was last Winter reduced to
a mere farce Those who choose not to regis
ter NAV vote nevertheless The object of this
sphversion was TO enable the chief criminals
70 pon votes enough in this City to swamp
the adverse vote of the country, as was done
in 1868. They can only be beaten by deter
mined Republican effort and an unprecedented
vote in every part of the State.
THE TRIBUNE, resolved to do its part in en-
tightening and arOusing the vOters-too apt

of Congress, announces that under the rule o
Tweed, Sweeny, Hall & Co., the debt of New

One hundred and twenty-five millions of dol

The vote at the late election in Kentucky
was the largest ever cast there, we believe
In 1868 the total vote was 1856 ,455; this veal
it was 215 ,S20. In 1868 the Republican vot,
was 1886; this year it was S9,323. The Lex
ington Comm onooealth says: "Before the cleo
ton, the Democrats told us the colored vott
would not excesd $4,000. The trouble is the
White Republican vote has increased too fast
for them, and they want to figure it out Of

Medical Mistakes.

1t took the faculty about thousand years to dis
cover that the best way to disease was not to
render the patient too weak to contend with it,
WITHIN the last twenty years, however, the whole
system OF medical practice has been changed for the
better. In diseases or complaints caused by exces.
sve heat for instance the doctors no longer recon-
menu the reduction of the valids strength by pros
trating medicines. The vast success which has at
tended the use of Hostettel's Stomach Bitters as a
remedy for debility, has given even the most preju-
diced members of the old school an insight into the
only true and rational theory OF cure Cantharides
caomel, and overpowering doses OF opium, are now
among the obsolete nostrums of another age The

physician as the sword is of the soldier is seldom
