Salutary stimulation.

When vital action is sluggish, stimu.
liant, provided it be pure and properly medi-
Gated, is the most reliable agent for inn
parting the necessary impetus TO the semi.
dormant organs, accelerating the languid
circulation and averting the maladies to
which functional inactivity gives rise. Physi.
clans who have employed Hostctter's Stom-
ach Bitters in their practice pronounce it the
most salutary tonic stlmulant they have ever
used, and especially commend it as a rene
dy for torpidity of the bowels, liver, stom-
ach and kidneys, and as a rcsuscitant of
vital energy The medicinal value of the
Bitters is due to the fact that with their
basis of pure old rye are combined, in per.

to medical botany. The Bitters never dete.

According TO announcement, Gen.
George B. M'kee. candidate on the Re

from the State at large, visited Canton on
Saturday last for the purpose of address
ing a Republican meeting. AT about 80
O'Clock Gen. Mckee arose 10 address the
audience, when a division of time was
demanded by some of the Democrats
present. Gen. Mckee replied that he
would only be permitted to speak there
from the Court house steps-during the
recess of the court. which had Just adj.
iourned for dinner, and that there was
scarcely time for a Joint discussion. which
he declined TO engage in, but he had. of
course, no objection to any one speaking
after he had concluded his remarks. The
General began by saving that he was there
10 make Republican speech, and had
not proceeded more than two or three mo-
ments in general terms, when some oae in
the crowd demanded that he should tell
them about " Radical stealings." The
speaker said hewould first tell them about
some Democratic stealings, and was pro-
cceding 10 explain 10 his hearers how,
prior to the war, the Democratic Admin
