Letter from Rev. John McMurray.

JAMES l. FELLOWS, ESQ.
DEAR SIR: have recently heard from an
invalid of the great benefit from your Com
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites, and having
in many other instances marked the mos,
beneficial results from its use, l cannot but
regard its discovery as a matter of devouI
thankfuluess to a benign Providence.
l have used it considerably myself, and, al
intervals. during several years past, given il
to some members of my family.
l have also recommended it to others, and
invariably found it to be of essential benefit ir
those complaints for which It is especially
recommended.
In bronchial and other chest affections, il
arresting incipient consumption, and in less
ening the distressing symptoms of this d
sease in its hopeless stages, as well as in cas-
es of nervous debility, in giving tone to tht
system, it is undoubtedly valuable remedy
am, dear sir, yours truly,

The Portland Advertiser finds by d'ii'
gent investigation that there is a terrible
scheme afoot in this State to force some
body into the Senate of the United states
against the will of the people. Taking
the Advertiser for authority this is nothing
new. Whenever politics move eontrarl-
wise to the opinion of the Advertiser
whether it be in regard to constable OF
senator. the invariable resource OF that
paper is to exclaim that an outrage has
been committed upon the people. The
cry always looked weak to persons outside
the Advertiser office, and now 1t has be-
come stale. Like the fellow who being
married the third or fourth time. told the
minister he was getting used to this kind
of thing, people are "getting used tc
this kind of thing" from the Advertiser
and pay but little attention to it.

NEW HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRACY

The most noticeable feature of the plan
and platform adopted by the democrats OF
New Hampshire, is their adhesion to the
Greeley programm of 1872. While the
democrats Of nearly all the other States
have discovered their connexion with lib
eral republicans, as in Ohio where Allen
was elected on the straght-out democratic
platform, the New Hampshire men have
taken the opposite course. thinking their
chances of success better in that direction
than in the other. They affirm their ad-
herence TO the Observation-Disclosures plat
form of 1872, and cordially invite the
cooperation of the liberals and everybody
else. If they succeed in electing their can
didate for Governor, liberal republican
stock will have rise in the market, and
BourbOnism will experience revulsion.
Were it not that the democratic plat
form of 1876 will be dictated by the South
we might expect to witness a lively con-
test in the northern States between the
bunker democracy for the organization OF
the party this year. Such a contest has
already commenced in Maine between the
factions, but since the South will control
the national convention the struggle
amounts to nothing except for local pur-
poses. While northern democrats are
wrangling about schemes to entrap disal-
fected republicans, southern democrats are
uniting their section solidly to shape and
control for their own interests the national
convention and the national policy of the
party, an art which they learned uader
the great slaveholding leaders.

them with his customary clearness and atil-
