THE REA UONIrIDE

In commenting on the "Molly Mcguire

the Rea case tried in this County in 1869,
and says:

and when the trial took place here some
some foolish persons said, at will never dc
to have it said that the Democrats of CO.
lumbia went back ON the Irish, and they
were acquitted
Nothing could be more disreputable than
the insinuation contained in the above
sentence. In the first place we challenge the
Republican to give us the name of single
Democrat who used the language above
quoted.
In the next place the charge is libelion
the Court and Jury. Judge Elwell certainly
cannot be charged with partially to the
"Irish," as the Republican calls them. The
jurors wero carefully selected, and theil

"a Drop of JOy in Every Word

FLEMINGToN, Hunterdon Co., n. June
26, 1S74.-Dr. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y,
Dear Sir 1t is with happy heart that l
pen these lines to acknowledge that you and
your Golden Medical Discovery and Purga-
tive Pellets are blessings to the world These
medicines cannot be too highly praised, for
they have almost brought me out of the
grave. Three months ago | was broken out
with large ,ucers and sores ON my body,
limbs and face. l procured yonr Golden
Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets,
and have taken six bottles, and to-day | am
in good health, all those ugly ulcers having
healed, aud left my skin in Il natural healthy
condition. / thought ut one time | could
not be cured. Although | can but poorly
express my gratitude to you, yet there is a
drop of joy in every word l write. Gods
blessing rest on you and your wonderful
medicines is the humble prayer of
Yours truly, JAMES o. BELLS.
When medicine will promptly cure such
terrible eating ulcers and free the blood OF
the virulent poison causing them, who can
longer doubt its wonderful virtues? DIR.
Pierce, however, does not wish to place his
Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue
of quack patent nostrums by recommending
it to cure every disease, nor does he SO recon-
mend it !; bat what he does claim is this,
that there is but one form of blood disease
that it will not cure and that is cancer. He
does not recommend his Discovery for that
disease, yet he knows it to be the most
searching blood cleanser yet discovered, and
that it it will free the blood and system of I'll
other known blood poisons, be they animal,
vegetable, or mineral. The Golden Medical
Discovery is warranted by him to cure the
worst forms of Skin Diseases. as all forms Of
Blotches, Pimples and Eruptions, also all
Glanduar Swellings, and the worst forms ol
Scrofulous and liberated Sores of Neck,
Legs or other parts, and all Scrofulous Dis
cases, all Of which belong 10 Scrofulous Dis

HURT.

That the editors of the Republican would
squirm under our review of the political
management of the Radical Ring here we
well knew, and are not SURPRISED that it took
two weeks deiberation to attempt reply.
1t came last week, but is so weak and point
less that we only desire to call attention to
one fact. The Republican charges that Il
candidate in our party, in order to get a
nomination "must shell out to the Ring
and become their slave" Republicans in
this County know to their sorrow how much
they have been compelled to shell out" to
the Beckley ring, and with what an un-
scruplous hand he has struck down every
man, who would not bow to his dictaton.
Many remember yet when Samuel Kressler
was a candidate for Sheriff, and the price OF
the Republicans support was then $780,
But under the rules of the Democratic
party in this County, every voter has voice
in the selection of candidates, and Blooms
burg has only seven out of 60 delegates
And Furthermore, these delegates must com,
instructed, with the tickets voted, the lis
of voters, and the tally list, so that eacl
candidate is represented in Convention ac
cording to his strength. Our convention
therefore fully represents Me people, and il
not manipulated by few self chosen men
AS is the case with our opponents. If tn
Republicans would adopt our system of Sc
lecting delegates, the power of their Rim
would be gone forever, and honest men coul'
get voice in their Conferences.

is the world coming to? Is itpossible that
Grant is as drunk now as he was when he
had charge of Fort Wyandotte? The last
man who should be made Secretary of War,
and the worst mistake which Grant has
made in his entire administration. The ap-
pointment of Pierrepont, as minister to
England, and Judge Taft as Attorney Cen

probably get through with their duties, in a
workmanlike manner. But the Cameron
Secretary-of-Wa business is too much. 1t
is an outrage on epublicanism-it is an
insult upon common decency. Now we will
see how the matter results. If we don't
have more trouble with this Secretary-of-

will only be because the patience and good
nature of the people of the United States

ASuT FOR DON CAMERON TO CRACK.

In the Legislature of 1872, which was Re.
publican, Committee, a majority of whom
were Republicans, were called upon to in
vestigate the "crookedness" of railroad off,
cials and corporations. Among the wit
nesscs subpnnacd was j. Don Cameron.
~ first he refused to obey the suyprna, fond
ly imagining that he owned or controlled
the Legislature and its Committees lie af-
terwards attempted to evade the service of
another subpoena, but an attachment brought
him to his senses. 1t was developed through
that Committee, and unanimously reported
" the House, that in the method of taxing
Rail Road corporations, (by the counivance
of Gen. Hartranf, then Auditor General, J
the State Treasury had been deirauded out
of about $3,000,000. The principal party
