the marvellous cures II has produced during the
last half century, is sufHcicnt assurance to the

results that can be desired. In almost ever

even desperate diseases OF the lungs, BY It's use.
All whohave tried dit,aeknowledgei its superiority;
and where It's virtues nre known, no one hesitates

Childhood, it is invaluable for, by it's timely use
muittudes are rescued and restored to health.
This medicine gains friends at every trial, as
the cures it is constantly producing are too re-

One Imaginary Objection TO The sun
Removed.

Our Incorporated fellow citizen, Mr.. JOHN
KELLY-latc Of the Crown and Clown-has
appeared to suffer II good deal Of anxiety on
our account Of late He has conceded that THE
SUN was said to have large circulation.
We trust he believes the saying true by this
time. But notwithstanding its large circu-
latioD, he was under the impression that
The SUN was always ON the losing side.
Nothing which II advocated ever succeeded
This impression was, OF course, erroneous,
as our intelligent readers well know. II was
a deusion, an hallucination; and hallucina-
tons have been common In Mr.. KELLY's
head Of late
But, whatever its nature and origin, this
singular notion Of Mr.. KEILYs must. we
think, be pretty thoroughly eradicated now.
THE SIN stands rather consplcuously on
the winning side, enough so, it is to be
hoped, Ia relieve Mr.. kELLYs generous
anxiety about us.
But while we rejoice Mt the victory which
has crowned the opposition 10 permanent,
chartered corporation rs n controlling gov
crnmental body. we did not look upon such
u result as certain when we entered upon
the campaign, by any means. We knew how
strongly Tammany was intrcnchcd. We
knew il possessed ample pecuniary re-
sources We knew it was engaged In con-
trovorsy which might determine the qucs-
ton Of its future existence.
On the other hand. though not certain Of
the issue Of such n fight we had hopes OF
the intelligence and independence Of the
pcople-of their love OF equal rights.
In these hopes we have not been dlsap-
pointed. But had we known that many battles
would have 20 be- fought, instead Of one, be-
fore victory would crown the efforts OF our
selves and others in the good cause. we
should still have entered checrily upon the
undertaking. We believed the overthrow Of
Tammany essential 10 the freedom of the
citizens of New York, and we determined to
labor for IL until it should bc achieved.
And now the victory is won, any degree Of
personal exultation We may feel In IL IS
slight indeed. II IS for the sake OF the cause
we rejoice.
Still. rs Mr. KELLY has worried so terribly
over the suppostion that THE Sun was
always on the losing side, We cannot help
feeling happy at the relief that he must
experience.

A Great Reform in Politics.

A great reform Is taking place IN politics.
II is not limited In its operation To any one
party, but its salutary influence is extended
to all parties.
This reform consists In an increase Of in
dependence among the multitude.
As things were formerly. corrupt and in
competent men could work their way up in
a political organization, and cunningly con-
trive TO get themselves nominated % Office.
Then, II men were dissatisfied and dis
Rustcd with the ticket, they were tainted
with treachery 10 the organization. Prin-
eiplcs too, were readily abandoned by the
selfish aud ambitious leaders, whenever
there was prospect 81 temporary popular
ity tempting them in that direction.
This condition of things gave Us bad gov
errors and bad government.
Now we witness great looscning in the
ties Of party II man does not think

party with which he has usually acted. he
feels himself entirely free 10 vote for an

and are no longer the property, the slaves

The effect viii be felt In all parties; and
its tendency is toward general publication

Thus we see that tho Democrats will have
