IS STATE MASS MEETING.-The Demo-
cratic and Liberal Republican Mass

Success, based upon Merit.

is q subject of general remark,
among both wholesale and retail drug
gists, that no medicine introduced to
the American public has ever gained
such popularity and met with so
large a sale in all parts of the land, in
the same length of time, as has DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
This cannot depend upon its having
been more largely advertised than
any other medicine, as such is not the
case. The correct explanation, we
think, is found in the fact that this
medicine produces the most wonder
full and perfect cures of very bad cases
of bronchial, throat and lung diseases.
is undoubted the most perfect and ef2
ficient remedy for all kinds of coughs
that has ever been introduced to the
public, and at the same time possesses
the greatest OF blood purifying and
strengthening properties that medical
science has been able to produce, thus
rendering it sovereign remedy not
only in the cure of Consumption,
Bronchitis, Hoarseness and Coughs,
but also for all diseases of the liver
and blood, as scrofulous diseases, skin
diseases, blotches, rough skin, pim-
Piles, black specks and discolorations.
It has therefore a wide range of appli-
cation and usefulness, and it not only
gives the most perfect satisfaction to
all who use it, but far exceeds the ex-
pectations o. the most sanguine, thus
eliciting the loudest praise and making
perm anent living advertising medi-
ums of all who use it. For these rea-
sons il is that there is not perhaps a
druggist in all the vast domain of this
continent who tries to please his Gus
toners and supply their wants, that
does not keep and sell large quantities
of this most valuable medicine. 500.

State Democratic Ticket.
North Carolina Election,
coNsERyATryE VICTORY

t1t.lt tfFas B
AS our readers are aware, the elec-
tion for Governor. State officers; mem
bers of the Legislature and of Con-
gress, took place in North Carolina
ON Thursday last. Everybody looked
for most decided triumph of the
Grant party, as they had the entire
control of the election boards, and re-.
sorted to the most desperate means TO
carry the State. The first flashes
across the wires brought most cheer
ing news of the success of the Con-
seryatives BY a majority of from 5000
to 10000 for their candidate for Cow
ernor. But by subsequent reports
that majority has been Whitfield down,
till at this writing eTuesday evening"
the result is in. doubt, the Radicals
claiming the election of their candi-
date by about two thousand majority,
and it may not be impossible that the,
Conservative d candidate may be
counted outsr by the sskillful manip-s
ulators who have the exclusive control
of the ballotrboxes. Stif1 we believe
Merrimon, the Conservative candidate
is elected. But whatever may betthe
result on the candidates forsGovernor,
the Observation-Disclosures men have
achieved q victory as they have elected
five of the eight members of Congress
and decisive majority on joint ballot
in the Legislature, which will secure
the election of an anti-Grant q. S.
Senator in the place of Pool. the
present incumbent. ? -

CINCINNATI, July 10th, 1872.
GENTLEMEN ~ have your note in
viting me to preside at the mass meet
of the Democrats and and Liberal Re-
pnblicans, which is to be held in Co.
lumbus on the 3lst inst, to ratify the
Cincinnati, Cleveland and Baltimore
Conventions. / am sorry to decline
an important invitation, givenyin such
kind words, but cannot be with you.
Lest may be misunderstood desire
to say that I accept the action of the
conventions referred to, and shall vote
for Mr.. Greeley. The Presidential
campaign is now fully and finally ar
ranged. There will be but two can
didates, both Republicans, and we
must choose between them. 1t will
not be difficult; and, while we should
not hope for Democratic adminlstra-
tion under Mr.. Greeley, yet nomina-
ted as he has been by two national
conventions-one Republican and one
Democratic-we may expect an adj
ministration that will not be partisan,
and, after all, such an administration
should be very welcome, and may be
Just what is needed for the present
hour. ''
Following heavy civil war, it will
be opportune and best suited to have
its animosities healed, and restore
good will between all sections of our
country and our people. / differ in
politics with Greeley, who was not
my choice, but he has been chosen,
and with extraordinary unanimity,
and is now before us as the only rep
Eresentative of conciliation and under
Ep1edges of important reforms. His
great ability, courage and patriotism,
are unquestioned, and if he is elected,
we have good reason to believe that
we will get reconciliation and reform.
If he is defeated, we already know
that we will not get them, but the ad-
! ministration now closing will be re-
peated. It should not be repeated,
nor should we make it an example for
! imitation by the endorsement of a re-
election. AS soldier, General Grant
has justly. been distinguished, His
war services were very great, and
/ should be acknowledged by all. They
have been, and even generously ac-
knowledged, and we shall never for
get them, but he is not suited for a
civil magistracy, and we should allow
| his administration to close with the
pending term. Iintend towrite at more
length and some detail, but what
have already said, is fair reply to
your note. Thanking you for your
fattering invitation.
l am very respectfully,

sumner for Greeley.

Senator Sumner has written long
and able letter, addressed to the col
ored people, in which he declares that
his vote will be cast for Horace Gree
ley. He says "Grant deserves inn
peachment for high crimes and mis-
demeanors rather than re-nomina-
tion." This letter has. thrown the
Radical camp into q terrible fiutter all
over the country, and the leaders of
that party are getting up meetings of
the Grant darkies in different sections
and securing the passage of resolu-
tions denouncing the great Senator.
Perhaps they will be able to convince
the colored people that Charles Sum-
ner is not their friend.

: The Grant organs continue to reit-
crate the silly story that Greeley en-
tered into an arrangement with Coy
ernor Seymour and the Democratic
leaders that he would s.fayor the pay
ment of pensions to disabled Confed-
crate Soldiers by the United States
and placing the. traitor on equal foot
ing with the patriot, and offering a
premium on treason even after Car
penter, the author of the lie, has ac-
knowledged that his affidavit making
the charge was utterly false. They
imagine that a lie well stuck to will
answer their purpose as well as the
truth. That is the manner in which
they propose to conduct the present
campaign.

The political prospects in this re-
gion are of the most cheering charac-
ter. From nearly every section of
the county we hear of large numbers
of Republicans who have become
thoroughly disgusted with the corrupt
rule of the present despotic dynasty
ard are determined to lend their aid
in bringing about reform. There
are over fifty Liberal Republicans in
this township who will support Gree
ley and Brown. In Franklin there
are as many if not more. In Ram
dolph, we are.told, there are over fifty,
In Windham it is reported that there
are over forty. while there are dozens
in nearly every other township, and
the movement is constantly gaining
strength. Those who have announced
their purpose to support Greeley and
Brown are among the most intelligent
and influential members of the Re-
publican party, men who are infiu-
eneed by no considerations of official
favors, but who follow the, honest
convictions of their minds, and are
bound to labor for the best good of
the whole country without reward or
the hope therefor. at - -. -
