The Cant of HmPOstOrs.-It is so obvious
that physical and constitutional vigor is the
best defense against disease, that even the vend-
Ors of drastic purgatives advertise them az ton
les, stomaChicS and invigOrants, in the hope of
cnlisting the confluence of the public in the de.
Vitalizing and perniciOus potions. tits amusing
to note how these impOstOrs initiate and copy
the language in which the medicinal properties
of HOStetter's Stomach BitterS are described.
Although the effect of their rasping evacuants
is to destroy the tone of the digestive organs
and the bowels, and to rob the system OF its vi
tai strength, they are unscrupulOusly recon-
mcnded to the weak and PROSTATE victims of
disease as Stimulants! 1t is Il time this humbug
mot a very successful one it is true, thanks to
the mature commons sense of the American pcO-
plc) was stigmatized as ii deserves. Such mis-
chicvous falsehOOds should be exposed pro bono
poblico. Hostctter's stomach Bitters, he it dis
tinctly understood, is a stimulant. It has Spir-
ituous basis, and that basis is the vehicle which
difusesi its Notwithstanding principles through
every part Of the system. The tonic, Alternative
and regulating ingredients of the Bitters would
be comparatively inert if they were not, so to
speak, carried to the localities where they are
required by the stimulating agent. The cant
winch protests against the use OF a pure alec
hOlic fluid, when employed as a means of Civ
ing full effect TO medicinal extracts of the high
est utility, is the cant of charlatanism. Every
intelligent physician so characterizes it, and the
sick who are 'griped, cOnvIlsed and debilitated
by the nauseOus and disgusting nOstrums of the
parties who put it forth, soon find to their Sor-
row that it is a dclusion and a snare. Hostel
ter's Bitters, the great sanitary stimulant OF the
age, is, in the truest sense of the words, Il whole
some, Vitalizing, renOvating preparation.

DEMOCRACY AND WHITE LEAGUE IN

in Rapides has made some very fairpro-
positions to the white league committee
there for a fusion on union, The Re-
publicans have always been JIM the ma

tween the two committees occupies two
and a half columns of the Alexandria
Democrat, The white league there
claims the majority, and declined to
fuse. Here they propose to fuse, being
in the minority. The reply of the presi-
dent of the Democratic committee, to
the communication of the white league
committee rejectingthe Democratic pro-
positions, closes thnss
In conclusion / am directed to say
that it is with extreme regret that THIS
committee find that the proposals made

of opposition to the Radical party has
been rejected by your committee. In
making the proposition we have, we
thought and still think they were liber-
al and fair, and sucll as Conld be ae-
eepted readily by your committee as q
peace offering, All of our propositions
having been rejected by. you, We have
none others to make, butlwill atali times
gladly receive any proposals your COM
mittee may desire to make. Hoping
however that you will in the future rec-
ognize the fact that in treating with us
We claim q perfect equality with your
committee in our rights as the represent
tatiyes of the Democratic Party of this
Parish, and IL 1t he true, as you assume,
that the majority of the people are In
accord with you, still minorities have
rights as well az maiorities.
