THE MEDICINE THAT CURES
is
"VEGETINE."

Taking into consideration the character Of It's vouch
ers the history Of It's cures and the immense ncreas

Negetine is used according 10 directions. There IL

The Present Duty.

The following letter was written by prom
inen; citizen of York county who at one time
was counted on to help the Democracy elect
Congressman in this district. He has consid-
cred the question and comes to the conclusion
that all roads leading Republicans away from
the regular nominee for Congress in this Dis.
trict lead to the Democratic camp:
BiDDEFoRD, Aug. IL, 1876
To the Editor of the Press.
/ am one who believed that the candidate for
representative to Congress should be taken
from York county, and felt aggrieved at the
course taken when the nomination was made;
and at that time thought could not conscien-
tiously support Mr.. Reed, but upon reflection
think such course would be detrimental to
the Republican party, for lin Union there Is
strength" and l am well aware that unless We
as a party are united we must inevitably have
a Democrat to represent this District In the
next Congress, therefore feel 1t my duty to
give INV influence and vote for the election of
MIR Reed. and would advise every true Re-
publican and every one who has the good
of the cause at heart to give up and s0an-
don all efforts to bring any other cand-
date before the people and use their utmost en-
deavors to secure the election of the regular
nominee. There is no use in trying to disguise
the fact that we must choose between Mr..
Reed and Democrat for our next representa-
tive to Congress, Now let me ask what other
course is there for one to take who wished the
Republican party to succeed, but TO enuorse the
nomination of Mr.. Reed, and use all honest
means to secure his election. l fer Que mean
to 'bury the hatcbet handle and dW and do the
best can to give Mr., Reed as large majority
as is possible at the Ginning election, and /

GEN. WALTER HA AEKIMAN, of N. XII.
COntrasted Utterances.

Mr.. Tilden's hard-money record is vel
known. Up to a recent date all his utter
ances have been strongly in favor of an hon
est currency, all his public acts have indi-
Gated that he was committed to the speedi-
est possible resumption. But no sooner was
he nominated by the st. Louis convention
than sudden change came over him. His
apparent effort since has been to convince
portion of his supporters that they have
mistaken his position, that he isn't the kind
of man they thought him to be. In place of
his former clear and unmistakable statements
he resorts, in his letter of acceptance, to OBJ
scure language which means one thing to the
hard-money men of the East and another
thing to the soft-money men of the West.
He has lost the courage of his opinions. He
is not willing to stand by his record.
Contrast his conduct with that OF Gov.
Hayes. In his letter of acceptance the Re-
publican candidate says: "On the currency
question stand by my record, and if elected
l shall approve every appropriate measure to
accomplish the desired end (speedy resump
tion) and shall oppose every step backward"
This means business. There can be no mis-
take as to its meaning. Every hard-money
man in the country interprets it as a pledge
to secure resumption. But Gov. Tilden's
ambiguous letter is construed by the rag
money advocates everywhere as an endorse
ment of their views.
The same contrast is to be observed in the
two men in their treatment of other issues.
Gov. Tilden makes long argument in favor
OF high standard in tho civil service, but
he nowhere pledges himself to return to the
habits of the Presidents before Jackson in
the making of appointments. On the con-
trary Gov. Hayes emphaticay says that the
present system sought to be abolished" that
1.-THE reform should be thorough, radical and
complete" that ''We should return to the
principles of the founders of the govern
ment," that he "shall conduct the admins
tration of the government upon these prin-
ciples, and all constitutional powers vested in
the executive will be employed to establish
this REFORM"
A like contrast is noticeable in the treat
ment of the one-term question. Gov. Tilden
favors constitutional amendment establish
ing single term, but he takes good care to
give no assurance in case the amendment is
not adopted, that ne will not be- a candidate
for reelection. On the contrary Gov. Hayes
distinctly says: ''T desire to perform what
l regard as duty in stating now my infex-
ible purpose, if elected, not to be a candidate
for election to second term"
These contrasts are instructive. The utter
ances of Gov. Tilden are those of an adroit
politician, anxious not to commit himself to
distinct line of policy, and heartily believ-
ing that in politics as in diplomacy the proper
use of language is to conceal thought. The
utterances Of Gov. Hayes are those of an
earnest, straightforward man, who hastens
to assure the country what he will and what
he will not do in case of election, and anxious
that all shall understand beyond all doubt

his position on the issues of the campaign.
Which of the two men do the people prefer
for their chief magistrate?
A Southern Restoration.

AS the canvass progresses it becomes more
and more evident that the paramount ques-
tion in the campaign is the old one, that the
people are called upon to decide whether they
will turn over to the South the control Of
the whole country after having sacrificed
thousands of lives and millions of dollars in
preventing the South from controlling even a
section. Disguise it as we may the election of
the Democratic candidate means the suprem-
acy of the South. Even were that candidate
a man of spotless and loyal record he would
be indebted to the Southern States for his
elevation and support. The Congress would
be controlled by them, they would be in a
majority I'm the cabinet and they would mon
opolize the civil service. The new President,
however good his intentions, could do moth
ing without their aid, for he would be depen-
dent upon Congress for the adoption of any
measure which he might propose, and could
carry out no policy which did not have its
hearty endorsement, The administration of
the Army and the Navy would be in South.
ern hands. And they would have absolute
control of the Treasury. Not cent could be
voted for governmental expenses without
their consent. They could cripple where
they chose. In fact the election of the DEM
ocratic candidate would be Southern restor-
alton. The government would be admins
tered on Southern methods and in the spirit
of Southern ideas. There would be a return
to the methods and ideas of twenty years
ago.
These dangers are aggravated, not lessened,
by the character of the Democratic candi-
date. He belongs to that despicable class,
Northern men with Southern principles.
During all the war he was in active sympa-
thy with the rebellion, and gave to the loyal
North neither material nor moral aid. He
favored dishonorable peace, an abject sur
render by the North. If elected he would at
once turn to Southern politicians for counsel
and support. Their views would be his
views, their measures his measures, and the
aim of his administration would be the res
toration of Southern supremacy. If the
people of the North desire this they will vote
for Tilden. If they wish to see the admins
tration continued in the hands OF the pre-
servers of the national unity, and the results
of the war made secure they will vote for
Hayes.
