Where does it all come from :,


 r Pints and quarts of filthy Catarrhal discharges. Where does it all come from? The mucous membrane which lines the chambers of the nose, and its little glands, are diseased, so that they draw from the blood its liquid, and exposure to the air changes it into corruption. This life-liq uid IS needed to build up the system but it is extracted, and the system IS weaken ed by the loss. To cure, gain flesh and strength by using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. which also acts direct ly upon these glands, correcting them, ,apd apply Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, the only method of reaching the upper cavities, where the discharge aceumulates and comes from.

The shameful affair in which ex-Secretary
Belknap is involved has been and con-
tinues to be made the text for much NOR
alizing, some good and some bad. There
are those who see in the sad story only
opportunity for partisan exultation and who
give themselves up to rejoicing. The men
who find in the shame of the nation encour-
agement for their party schemes and little
personal ambitions are to be pitied, and it is
greatly to be feared that their names will yet
appear in connection with some great scam
dal. The claim that the Republican party is
In any way responsible for Mr.. Belknap's i'm
morality is too absurd to be discussed for a
moment. Nor is the administration respon-
sible, except in that it made itself sponsor
for the man and thus became guilty of an
error of judgment in selection, an error
against which precautions could not well be
taken. The man had always been Of excel
lent repute, good soldier and a good official,
and the bitterest of his political opponents
had nothing to say against him. Nor is that
Judgment more just which attributes his
downfall to the corruptions of politics. Pol
itics are no more corrupt now than they were
half century ago, and men of strict hon.
esty can as easily serve their country and
keep their hands clean to-day as they could
in the first days of the Republic. Now, as
heretofore, devotion to public affairs is an!hon-
orable occupation, and the life of the poll
tician is as pure as that of the trader. One
can with as much justice say that commerce
is conducive to dishonesty, because the air is
thick with rumors of fraudulent bankruptcy,
as that politics are. Indeed there is far less
fraud and corruption, despite the larger op-
portunities, in the public service, than there
is in the walks of trade or the other and
multifarious pursuits in which men are en-
gagged.

The next Cniou Republican National Convention
for the nomination of candidates for President and
Vice-President of the United States will be held in
the city of Cincinnati Wednesday, the fourteenth
day of June, 1876 at II O'Clock noon and will consist
OF delegates from each State equal to twice the num-
ber OF its Senators and Representatives in Congress-
and OF two delegates from each organized Territory
and the district of Columbia.
In calling the conventions for the election of dele
gltes the committees of the several States are
commended to invite all Republican electors, and all
other voters without regard to past political dit
ferences or previous party affiliations, who are
opposed to reviving sectional issues and desire to
promote friendly feeling and permanent harmony
throughout the country by maintaining and enforcing
all the constitutional rights of every citizen, includ
ing tine ful and free exercise OF the right of suffrage
without intimidation and without fraud; who In

school system is the nursery Of American liberty and
should be maintained absolutely free from sectarian
c0ntrol who believe that for the promotion of these
ends, the direction of the Government should con-
tnue to be conded to those who adhere to the prin
the Constitution and the laws and who are in favor
Of recognizing and Strengthening the fundamental

The victory won by the Republicans of
Portland yesterday was one of the most nota-
BILE in the history of the city. 1t is full of
meaning to those who care to study the ten
denotes of politics and who wish to know the
spirit and feeling of the American people on
certain grave questions which are coming in
to prominence in this country.
In party point of view it is great tri
umph and shows that the Republicans are in
good shape for the Presidential election; that
they are united, harmonious and earnest;
that their blood is up and that they propose
to enter upon the fight with their old time
vigor and efficiency.
But there is yet higher meaning. in the
spontaneous uprising of the people yesterday.
It means that they are afraid of the Danger
ous tendencies and affiliations of the Demo-
cratic party. 1t means that the stirring up
and organizing of an ignorant and superst-
tious foreign population into political power
is regarded as menace to our free institu-
tions. 1t serves notice upon Gen. Anderson,
Mr.. Sweat, Mr.. Emery and Mr.. Clifford that
they cannot use such a crowd as applauded
them on Saturday night in City Hall to con-
troll a. New England city. The meeting on that
occasion was justly subject of alarm and
distrust to our citizens. An assemblage
made up of all the riotous and disorderly ele-
ments OF the city, who own no allegiance
save to the Church of Rome and the Demo-
cratic party. who have no property or social
interests in the country and who are in open
hostility to our free schools, merits the re-
buke which was administered yesterday.
The respectabity of the gentlemen whose
ambition brought them to address this mot
ley crowd in the language of demagogism
suited to their taste and comprehension will
not obscure the danger of admitting to pow
er the bad element to which they thus cater
for purposes of personal aggrandizement.
1t was this meeting which caused so many OF
the more thoughtful aud disinterested Demo-
Craftsmen who prefer country to party-to
vote the Republican ticket or refrain from vo-
ting, and the men thus lost to the Democracy
will never be regained-for the cause which
drove them off must remain. The Demo-
cratic party can never sever its allegiance to
the Romish Church which furnishes the par
ty so large portion of its strength.
The work of yesterday was good and
wholesome. The Republicans rejoice over
the greatest vote ever thrown in Portland.
The Democrats threw an unusually large
vote, but they must learn that so long as
their party remains under the control of its
worst elements it will never be trusted with
power. We have good send off for the
summers campaign; now let us improve it
with courage and discretion.
