Jersey City, n. J.
Dear sir:-Ny brother who is now in his 18th
year, has been subject to epilepsy or fits from
childhood. The spas ms would invariably occur
during the night, and our local physician here
could do nothing to help him save prescribing
Bromide of Potassium, which would afford only
atempOrary relief, he was gradually bat surely
becoming insane, and in this condition We pro-
cured your restorative assinuant, herbal oint-
msnt and pills, and used as directed, aad but 3
short time elapsed before the spasms entirely
ceased his intellect grew brighter, and in short,
was entirely restored to perfect health. You
may use this testimonial as you may deem
proper, rs what have said are facts.
Respectfully yours.

ADDRESS AND RESOLUTIONS
OF THE
Liberal Republican Convention.
HELD AT
Cincinnati, G May L, 2, and 3.
OFFICIAL COPY.
To the people ofhe United States: :

To the people ofthe United States
The administration nov in power has
rendered itself guilty of wanton disregard Of
the laws of the land, and of usurping 20 Eers
not granted BY the constitution it has act.
cd ss if the laws had binding force only for
these who are governed, and not for those
who govern. 1t has thus struck blow AI
the fundamental prin ciples of constitutional
government and the liberties of the citizen.
The President of the United States has
openly used the powers and opportunities OF
his high Office for the promotion of person
al ends.
He has kept notoriously corrupt and
unworthy men in places power and respon.
sibility, to the detriment of the public inter
! ests.
He has used the public service of the gov.
ernment as u machinery of corruption and
personal influence, and has interfered with
tyranicsl arrogance in the political affairs oi
states and municipalities.
He has rewarded with influential and lu.
crative offoies men who had acquired his ia
vor by valuable presents, thus stimulating g
the demoratization Of our political life by his
conspioious example.
He has shown himself deplorably unsguA
to the task imposed upon him BY the neces.
sites of the country, and culpably careless
of the responsibilities of his high Office.
The psrtisans of the administration as
suming to be the Republican party, and con
trolling its organization, have attempted tc
Justify such wrongs and palliSte such abuses
20 the END Of maintaining partisan ascend
ancy.
They have stood 10 the way of necessary
Investigations and indispensable reforms
pretending that no serious fault could be
found with the present administration o
public affairs, thus seeking to blind the eys
the people.
They have kept alive the passions and re
sentiments of the late war, to use them 70
their own advantage they have resorted Il
arbitrary measures in direct conflict witt
the organic law, instead of appealing to tn
better instincts and latent patriotism of tn
southern people By restoring to them thes
rights, the enjoyment OF which is indisper
sable to a successful naturalization Of thei
local affairs, and would tend TO revive q pc
triotic and hopeful nstional feeling.
They hive degraded themselves and tn
name of their party, once justly entitled t
the confidence of the nation, by a base syco
phsucy to the dispenser Of executive powe
and patronage, unworthy of republican tree
men they have sought to silence the voiC
of Just criticism, and stife the moral sens
of the people, and to subjugate publ
opinion by tyrannicAl party discipline.
They are striving to maintain themselve
in authority for selfish ends by an unscrupu
lous use of power the which r1ghtfull
belongs to the people, and should be en-
ployed only in the service Of the country.
Believing that an organization thus lie
and controlled can no longer be of service
the bests interests of the republic, we ha,
resolved to make an Independent appeal
the sober judgment, conscience, aud pssrio
lam of the American people.

From the st. Louis Review (colGrsd peoples
organ)
Quite q large number of the leading and
influential colored men of the country have
Joined the Liberal Republican party, and
are earnestly advocating the election of
Horace Greeley for President of the United
States. To this number are daily accessions.
Among the most prominent are the follow
ing: W. U. Saunders and James b, Park
er, of Maryland; Augustus W. Collins and
Charles W. Stewart, of Virginia; Lieut.
Gov. P. B. s. Pinchbsck, Rev. j. Sella
Senator Rice and Mr.. Gross, of Arkansas /:
the latter is editor and proprietor of 9
weekly paper); Mr.. Chambe Of Kentucky
]. T. Mahoney, VIM. G. Robinson and Rev.
James Williams, of Indiana; Charles W.
ton, d. G; Charles Polk, of Tennessee; c.
j. Carter, of Pennsyfvania Gustavus
Brown, Rev. Oliver Webb, Clay Shropshire
William Kemp, @. M. G. Willis, and John
Lane, of Missouri: DR.. William Good man
aud Peter K. Jones, of New York State
| Nearly all of these are gentlemen of educa
tion, wealth and culture, aud exert q strong
influence among the colored people where
| they are known. This number will bt
increased to thousands before the close o.
the campaign. The declaration that the
negro, BY instinct, will go solid for Grant,
does not hold so good after all. If i
proves anything at all, it shows that colorec
men are capable of that study and reflection
upon great public questions which enable
them to rise above their preiudices and dis
likes, and dare to''do'whst they conceive to b.
best for the race and the whole country q
large. Recent developments show that tht
oolored people will divide their vote between
Horace Greeley and General Grant in every
State in the Union.

GREELEY AND THE C0L0RED RACE.
The Chappaqua Sage Made a Life Member
Of the American Missionary Association.
[FrOm the N. Y. Eerald, July 21.l

From the N. 7. Eerald, July "a.
In the Second Congregational Church Of
Newark yesterday, an eloquent and impress-
i've sermon was presched by Rev. NJ. f..
Strictly, in behalf of the American Mission
cry society, the preacher taking for his text
the words found in Matthew, XIV, 40
"Inssmuoh IS ye have done it unto me-"
The discourse, which embraced an elaborate
description Of the workings of the assoeiA-
ton among the colored people Of the South,
was listened to with deep attention BY the
large audience present. The organization,
the preacher said, nun bered 1--WE millions of
adherents, and required the strictest atten-
ton to keep it intact. The libersted slaves
of the Southern States are sadly in want Of
Ckristixn education, and the vast field Of
labor they occupy requires many teachers
and missionaries to aid in extending the in
fuencs and power of the society. The rev.
erened speaker closed with an appeal for
help, after which q collection amounting to
$l20 was taken up. Among the contribu-
tions il the box was a note reading as fol-
lows: "Appreciating the lifelong and eff
cient lsbors of Horace Greeley for the good
and good report in behalf of their liberty,
enlightenment, and advancement in all that
constitutes fitness for citizens life, and
gratefully remem bering his lecture cheer
fully given to aid Us in building our chapel.
| take great pleasure in contributing the
enclosed amount ($30) to constitute him a
| life member OF the American Missionary
society"

ONE TERM FOR U. 8. SENATORS.

A distinguished Republican Senator at Wash
ington jocosely but very sensibly proposes
further "One-term" amendment to the Constitu-
tion. The preamble for the proposition is to
recite the historical facts that for many years,
under all administrations Of the Government
political dissensions have been created, intrigues
set on foot, jealousies and quarrhls fomented,
corruptons in the public service caused by tie
ambitions Of the members OF the United States
Senate to become President Therefore the
Constitution shall hereafter provide that no per-
son serving more than one term in the Senate
Of the United States shall be eligible to the Office
Of President.
There is absolute historical accuracy in the
preamble suggested above and if the respective
injuries to the public interests caused by Presi-
dents who desired reelection, and by the Sena-
tors, either in behalf of the same object, or Of
their elevation to the Presidency, are compared,
I. will be found that the latter completely dwarf
theforner. As measure of public usefulness,
it would be far more important to put bride
on tho senate's ambition, then on that OF the
Executive

John D. Goush,s Lecture, on Thursday Even
iuu.


John d. Coughs Lecture, on Thursday Even
ing.
1t Is announced that this popular lecturer will
deliver his great lecture "Will it pay;" in Reading
on the 18th and in Baltimore on the 18th the day
before and the day after his lecture in Wilmington.
Mr.. Cough is a favorite everywhere. Persons
ask why his lectures are always so well attended,
what constitutes his popularity In the first
place, it is because Mr.. Cough is an orator
every word that he utters tells upon his au-
dience. He is a thorough master Of his own
ideas and he always succeeds in conveying those
ideas to his audience in such felicitous language
and style as to chain their attention.
Another secret Of his success lies in the fact
that all his lectures have a moral tendency. One
Of the early advocates Of the Temperance cause
he has never ceased to hold up before the peo-
pie the evils resulting from the great vice which
has now become 80 enormous and 70 baneful
that all classes and crceda are engaged in efforts
to suppress it.
We are sure that all who go to hear him nex
Thursday will be abundantly repaid for tbeil
small outlay OF time and money, and as the pro
ceeds Of the lecture will go towards sustaining
an institution which is established for the pur-
pose Of promoting the moral and intellectual i'm
proyement Of the youth of our city, we hope tC
see a crowded house on the occa-i3n.

Railroad Investments.

As the present high price Of government Sc
clrities has ceased to make them desirable k
cept to those who are satisfied with very low
rates Of interest, the question naturally arises,
In what shall money be invested; The general
tendency Of capital is towards railroad bonds,
and they have probably stood the test Of exper-
ience bett,r than almost any ether class Of in
vestment except mortgages on real estate which
usually pay less ratio. A year ago leading
financial authority in New York stated that out
Of G32 different railroad companies owning
finished roads in the Northern and Western
States, there was jUt one that did not pay tH in
