The Ne,c Financial Measure

Gotten up By the Radical Senator'S in
caucus does not seem to give satisfaction.
1t is denounced by the New York Tribune,
Herald, World and other influential jour
nals. while the Republican papers are by
no means unit in its favor. The gen.
aral opinion seems to be that it is
a mere club to the whale" But the peo-
pie are not TO be put OF with any such
elumsey scheming. They demand a
measure that will cure some of the evils
growing out Of the deprecated condition
Of our currency. And until some steps
are taken toward a permanent cure Of
the evil there will be no stable basis fol
permanent trade and lasting prosperity.

wnON0 CrsTOM CORRECTED,

1t is quite generally tine custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure OF
liver complaint, and both the mineral
and vegetable kingdoms have been dill
gently searched to procure the most
drastic and poisonous purgative, in order
to produce powerful effect upon the
liver, and arouse the tagging and enfee-
bled organ. This system of treatment is
on the same principle ms that OF giving
a weak and debilitated man large por-
tions Of brandy to-enable him to do q
certain amount of work. When the
stimulent is withheld, the organ. like the
system, gradually relapses into q more
torpid or sluggish and weakened condi-
ton than before. What then is wanted
Medicines, which, while they cause the
bile to flow freely from the liver, as that
organ is toned into action, will not over
work md thus debilitate it. but will,
when their use is discontinued. leave
the liver strengthened and healthy.
SUCH remedies are found in DIR. Pierce 8

Commenting on the above, the Reg,
lister says:
Our special dispatch from Charles.
ton THE morning only shows that the
process of Democratic consolidation
which has been silently going on du-
ring year past in oil portions Of the
State lias found expression in Charles.
ton in M open statement Of unity and
concord. For long time past men
wbo were laboring for the advance.
incnt Of the same political principles
have seen how futile and foolish it is to
place personal consideration above the
great tnds Of pRrty. Men die and arc
forgotten, but party beliefs live on,
This Charleston movement is but tho
formal unity Of factions that long since
ceased to have any reason for existence
or to antagonizC each other in the
Democratic party of tue State, because
all have learned mud few have dared TO
erOss the gulf that separates Democracy
from modern RCpublicanism.
Upon one hand is tic right of tie
people Of the State to enact such laws
rs may seem to them best suited to
their condition, subject 10 the constita.
ton Of the United States. Upon the
other hand is tue irresponsible will Of
Congress debating this or that aud as.
Stunning to override all constitutional
restraints.
Where there isso wide a divergence
in political opinion, what folly it Is for
sensible men to attach themselves to
the pVrsonablc fortunes Of individuals
aud say that unless such q man is
nominated for Office we will go over to
the other side and labor to break down
all the principles We have heretofore
sought to have put in practice in the
administration Of the government.
We have many evidences that the
people Of West Virginia havO too much
good sense to submit themselves again
to the Radical yoke they have too
much good sense 10 permit Radical
triumph BY their division; and there
has brOn something in tho air during
tile past six months or moro that con.
vincos us that in the important cleo
tion of this year the opponents Of Radi.
calism would stand together, shOnlder
to shoulder, aud win q victory over all
foes whether within eur own household
or openly in tue Radical ranks.
