two or three republicans or Demo

ship. II the Republican Convention
don't take counsel of their fears and
act under this sort sf q threat, then
the programme 10 carried out and
those republicans who have pledged
themselves to the willy plan Of the
ccncoctors Of the same, are held to
their foolish pledge. Permit us to say
that no good faithful or honest Repub-
lican or Democrat ever engages in any
such operation. Suppose all the town
ships Of the county commence this lit
tie game, what . nice time we would
have. These little plans Of . few men,
that they always do as much in the
dark rs possible, because they are
ashamed Of them, are devoid Of
every principle Of right and justice,
and destructive of the best interests of
the whole people. They have for
their aim only the benefting Of the
few at the expense of the many. Be-
ward friends and not be caught in
any such trap, but on the contrary
place no confidence in men who will
be guilty of any such operations, for
they are not true men, and are seeking
only for private and selfish purposes
to defeat the will of the whole people
of the county. n II ''55

To THE DAILY AGE.-A recent num-
Der of the Dubuque Telegraph, pub
lfshcd and edited by the Hon. Dennis
Mahony, mentions the names of q
number of our prominent Republican
citizens, who, he says, have abandoned
the Republican party and passed over
to the support Of Horace Greeley for
the Presidency Of the United States.-
Among these distinguished names he
does me the honor Of an association
While 1 have NO desire or authority to
speak for others, have no hesitation
in saying in my own behalf, that am
not supporter of Horace Greeley for
the Presidency neither have ] connec-
ted myself with that political party
known as the Liberal Greeley Repub-
lican Democracy" but still profess to
be an humble supporter Of the Repub-
lican party, which, with the assistance
Of q liberal portion Of the loyal Democ-
racy of the Union, emancipated three
millions of slaves, preserved the union
of these States, and flung our national
banner to the worldwide breeze, freed
from its foreign blush, and inscribed
with these words never there be-
fore 1.-THE Banner of the Land Of Free
DOM"
For many years was supporter of
the New York Tribune by subscrip-
ton. and an admirer of the elaborate
reasoning and argumentativc powers
Of Mr.. Greeley in support of the sci
ence of of spiritual association through
the medium Of imperceptible causes,
and many other theories, adorned by
his every varying mind with an intel
lectual charm that garlanded his vision
8ry reveling, and made pleasant the
reading of the New York Tribune.
But when Mr.. Greeley demanded
through his Tribune, in behalf Of the
rebellious States, the right to dissolve
the Union, and make more enduring
and secure the blight Of human slavery
upon this continent, then ceased to
be q supporter of the New York Iri-
bune and when he affixed his sigma
ture to the bond of Jefferson Davis,
felt that it was kind of proclamation
running thus:
ITO Eliphdlet Price and others, swpp0s.-
te,y Of the union Of these States
! approve Of tine suffering and starva-
tsou AmposGu upUu youE sOuS i'll the
confederate prison pens Of my friend
Jefferson Davis. Had You united with
mo in support of q dissolution of the
union of these States, your sons would
not now be sleeping beneath the roun-
dad hillocks that undulate the union
grave yards and battle fields Of the
South.
No, am not for Horace Greeley
Among the names Of those who have
been mentioned in connection with the
presidency, the name Of Horace Gree
ley with me does not rise to the dignity
of q last choice. No; Mr.. Mahony has
been wrongfully imposed upon; l am
not for Greeley. If my life shall be
prolonged, / shall vote for General
Grant, with moro confidence and earn
estness than / did at his first election.
Should he die upon the eve Of the cleo
ton, ] will vote for the Baltimore NOM
inee, If he be one Of those loyal, time
honored jackson Democrats that stood
with mo "a Republican, when the life
of our common country was periled.
No, am not for Greeley.

There are two Bffnkerhoff's in the
field from Ohio. The one is the
General who acquired his rank and
fortune in. the army as Quartermaster.
He has been employed, for years, as
q travelling lecturer for the New York
and London Free Trade League, in
which capacity he has recently ad-
dressed an Ottumwa audience, prin-
cipally devoted to abuse OF Horace
Greeley. Being an honest man, and q
consistent Free Trader, tits not at all
astonishing that he should support
Greeley now, the king of Protectionists.
The other Brinkerhoff is the Judge,
IAN old and distinguished citizen Of
Ohio, who writes to one E. w. Kit
tredge, Of Cincinnati, in which he uses
the following language:
"Thc probabilities seem to be that
the Baltimore Convention will either
endorse Greeley Or break up in con-
fusion; and the final result will be
that Grant will be reelected, for there
are hundreds of thousands of men of
all parties who will not vote for either
Grant or Greeley, and that will de-
termine the inauspicious victory in
favor of Grant and his official phal-
anx." ~.

[From the Medical Record of November LIST, 1911
Having been requested to state what know
Independently of Kennedy's Concentrated Ex-
tract of Pinus Canadensis, and furthermore be-
ing requested to send it for publication in the
columns of your journal, beg leave briefly to
tax your patience and generosity.
For the past six months 1 have used this ex-
tract in many cases affecting the mucous MEM
branes, and in almost every case it has given
entire satisfaction. In abrasion of the os and
cervex uteri, when applied in its full strength
by means of pledget of cotton, I have found
it far more satisfactory than tannin or iodine.
In endometritis it has proved equally satisfac-
tory I have used it with perfect success in
acute and chronic vaginitis, by applying it in
its full strength every other day. have also
used it in several cases of gonorrhea, and must
say that vastly prefer it to the vaunted rem
edy of claret and tannin. ~
1t is certainly most valuable astringent and
tonic; and l doubt not that it will very soon
have its place in our Materia Medica.

SUDDEN DEATH.
PENNINGTON, JAN 18th, 1872.
Albion Dyer, Esq, of Strong, met with avery
painful accident Monday afternoon. He was
ascending ladder in the stable chamber,
which was resting against the hay NOW, for the
purpose of feeding his stock, when from some
cause, the lower end of it was pushed suddenly
out, precipitating him to the floor, distance of
about twelve feet. He struck heavily upon his
side, dislocating his arm, and badly bruising
his hip and other parts of the body.
Our village is about to lose, and your city will
gain, one of our leading merchants, Mr. H. NJ
Howes For many years he has transacted bu-
siness in this place, and during that time, all
have found him to be strictly honest, "on-the-
square man and good citizen.
The Pennington Girls School, Misses May,
teachers, commenced its Spring term Monday,
with twenty-eight pupils.
Temple boasts of a true patriot, in the person
of Lemuel Jenkins, man aged about 70 years.
He served in the war of 1872; and at the out
break OF the rebellion, or shortly after, being
then about seventy, he enlisted and went to
Augusta for the purpose of being examined.
He was rejected on account of his age; but he
was determined to go, and with the help of
some friends, and a barber, who trimmed and
colored his beard and hair he was transformed
into young man seemingly. He again pre-
sented himself before the examining surgeon,
when to his great joy, he passed, was mustered
in, and at once proceeded to the front. He did
Uncle Sam good service for the period of nine
months. He now says: 'If we have another
war am all ready to go!' s9l t-gs
