BELMONT.

August Belmont, of New York
city, as some OF our readers may
happen to know, is the Chairman OF
the National Executive Committee
of the Democratic party of the Uni
ted States; and it was at his house
in New York, that the convention
met last week, and resolved upon
calling a National Convention at
Baltimore on the 9th of July. Bel
mont Unknown to be of that class
Of politicians whose principles are
decided by their interest. lie is not
only a large bond-holder, but is
known and acknowledged to be the
agent OF foreign bond-holders; and
it would be as unnatural to expect
water TO run up hill as that he
should support, in good faith, any
man who is not in the interest OF
his master-the bond holder. He
is, ostensibly working in the inter-
ests of the democracy, but really in
the interests Of Grant and the other
bond holders.
The New York World, like its
owner-Belmont-while protesting
great devotion to the democratic
party, and its principles, is secretly
stabbing it to its vitals, by advoca-
ting the nomination of a straight
democratic ticket-knowing that its
defeat is predestined, and inevita-
BILE.
We advise all true men every
where to give Belmont, and a
straight democratic ticket, a wide
birth, and concentrate their ener-
gies and their votes upon Greedy
ann Brown.

PERSONAL.


The Memphis papers speak in fat
tering terms OF Col. James Elrod,
OF this city, as n suitable candidate
for Congress in this district.
The Col. attended the Cincinnati
Convention as 'alooker on in Wen
na," posted himself thoroughly
uPon men and things, and has
Frightened up his political arfnor
for gallant eight. should he enter
the rare be will be found 10 be a
live, liberal ahd Progressive candi-
date, and we should not be sur
prised TO see him receive a large
share OF popular support. The car
dinal features ef his platform will
| be
l. Opposition to Bourbonism and
Grantism.
2. A new deal all around, aud the
election Of patriots to Office instead
of partisans.
3. Publication and pacilicatiOn.
The one secured by the overthrow
Of Grant and his very large circle of
relatives; the other by a general am
nesty.
In short, the Colonel believes that
all the "rosls that lead from Greedy
go to Grant," and hence, both ex-
pediency and patriotism point to
Greedy as the leader OF the new po-
litical deliverance. We are author
lied to say, should the Colonel de-
eide finally to run, that he will pro-
mulgate his views ia ertensO, by
the ordinar; and approved methods
OF gaining the public ear, and
sounding the hearts of the people.
Through the press and con the
stump" he will proclaim the great
truths OF the reformatory era in
American politics.

The voice OF the Press.

Everywhere, in all directions
East, West, North and South-the
Conservative press OF the country
and by that, we mean all those OPP
posed to the reelection Of Grant
are speaking out in tones which can
not be mistaken, in favor of Greedy
and Brown for President and Vice
President. They say in language SO
plain that a Way-fariBg man, though
q fool, may run and read II, that
they are done with the criminal fol-
ly of asking for a straight" demo
cratic candidate, when there isn't
the shadow of a chance to elect him
and no good result to be attained
IL they could-and that notc they
mean business" They intend to
advocate the election of the Cincin-
natl nominees from this time till the
election in November, and put their
faith In the people-who are moi
poIiticiQRS-tO vindicate the wis.
uom OF their determination From
Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi
Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina
North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland
Kentucky, Missouri, as we'll as from
the great Northwest, the East and
even the New England States, with
few and Insignificant exceptions, the
press has spoken out In tones OF
thunder, which have carried dis
may and CONSERVATION into the rad
ical ranks OF the republican party.
Tho PRESS is q POWER I'm the
land; and those who WELD this pow
or have taken the bit in their teeth,
and resolved now TO speak out, re-
gardless of mere politicians.

ONE BY ONE.

When A. II. Stephens commenced
the publication of the Atlanta Sun,
an enthusiastic admirer of his in
this place took the pains to secure a
club OF nearly or perhaps quite thir-
ty subscribers to that paper. We
think it has been pretty regularly
received, and quite as regularly
read by every one of the subscri-
bers. Last Monday one of them
was i'm our office, and volunteered
to say that he had left Stephens and
his hot-headed and peStilent plat
form. We innocently asked the
cause of this ''new departure" and
were told that il was his declaration
that it was the duty of the democ-
racy to put candidate in the field
even il defeat was certain" He
said that was the ''feather that
broke the cancels back" lie is, or
tcGS a bourbon, but NOT such a bour-
bon, as not to choose Greedy in pre-
ference TO Grant. One by one the
roses fall, aud one by one those
who were bourbons while there
was any sense in bOurbOnism, are
dropping Into the ranks of the peo-
pie, throwing up their hats and
shouting huzza for Greedy and
Brown. Let the good work go on.

How we Used to be PhysIcked.

Who does not remember the time when
spring purgation was considered indispen-
sable to summer healthg No matter for
wry faces. the inevitable salts and SIENNA,
rhubarb, or calomel and jalap, must be ad-
mlnistered. These "spring Medicines the
YOUNGSTERS were told, were 10 keep them
hale and hearty during the summer. We
ali know now that this was fallacy; that
new yigoT, not depletion, is what is re-
quired at the commencement Of the sum-
mer solstice. AS a preparation for the en-
ervating effects OF oppressive summer
weather, course Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bittcrs Is highly expedient. This famous
vegetable preparation has three prominent
properties: 1t rcnOyates, puries and regu-
Iates all the functions Of the body. II is
composed exclusively Of pure vegetable
productions, viz: the essential principle of
Monongahela Rye, and the most efiicacious
tonic AMI alternative roots, barks and gums
known to medical botauists. Hence, il Is
an absolutely safe medicine, and no tine
ture of the PharmacopeIa can compare
with it either in purity, or in the variety OF
its objects and its comprehensive results
Happily for mankind, the theory that il
was necessary to PROSTATE the patient in
order 20 cure him, is forever exploded,
and the true philosophical doctrine, that
vIgor is the great antagonist Of disease, has
taken its place Hostetter's Bitters is an
invigorant, and hence it is the proper medi.
cine for the feeble at this most trying sea,
son of the year.
BE sure that you obtain the genuine ar,
ticle. as there are iunumerablc vile imita
| tions in the market. Look TO the ornament
al stamp, the engraved label, and the nam,
blown into the glass. HOstetter's Stomach
Bitters is sold i'm bottles only.

If the Democrats wish to keen
Grant in power they can do so.
II they wish to reform the admin
istratiOn OF the government and res
tore honesty, patriotism, liberality,
and high principle TO their ancient
control in our national affairs, they
can dose.
If they prefer to keep Grant in
power they will nominate and sup

If they resolve to rescue the cOuu-

Horace Greeley, the candidate OF
