stick to the Old Platform.

The great question for discus.
sion in the coming canvass this
summer and fall will, OF course,
be the State debt question. In
fact there is no other to discuss.
While We regret that there should
b. any difference am ing our pro-.
pie upon the subject, We beg to re-
mind them that every declaration
Of the Democratic party for the
last thirty years has been for a
strict maintenance OF the public
faith. Especially since the war
have its conventions sp ken ia
uamistakable terms in favor of
disch :rging every just obligation
of the State. The party is fully
committed to This policy. Now
there are manifest indications
that Wig rous Efforts will be made
to set asile the previous well set
tied policy of the panty, and
substitute in its rlae. the wild
doctrines Of reputation in one
shape or another. We warn our
friends of the danger, SO that they
may be prepared for it If any
considerable body Of our citizens
cbo)se to go off from the old doc
trines Of the p .rty, they leave us,
not We them. If they prefer to
abandon the old platform, we in
tend to stick to it, and fight the
fight through upon DEMOCRATIC
principles. If disaster should
come to the party, it will not lie
our fault. We do not intend TO
be pushed off from the platform
If the fathers. Gauatin Ecam-
saer.

Tortures that Need not be Endures

People suffer great deal Of pain unnec-
esssrily. Among fortunes that need not be
endured are those inflicted by rheumatism
and govt, since the acrid clement in the
blood which produces them by contact with
the sensitive coverings of the muscles and
joints may be eliminated by the use Of that
matchless depurent, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, before the inflammatory symptoms
are developed 10 any great extent. When
it is considered what excruciating tortures
rheumatism inflicts, and what tendency it
has, when fully developed, to attack the
heart, the ACCESSIBILITY Of an early use of
such reliable antidote becomes at once
apparent. The rheumatic virus is expelled
from the blood by the increased action of
the kidaeys-which act as ssrdiners-pro-
aaced by the Bitiers, and the sufferer will
find, il he uses this supreme defensive a.
gent, that he will be protected against a
return of the agonizing complaint. Dys-
pepsia, fever and ague, liver and bowel COM
plants and other maladies, are also cured
by this admirable remedy.

soft and balmy as that Of juno,

perfumes Of orange blossoms
and ali the rich flora Of tic
tropics.
The Bahamas are the most
norlllly group OF the West IT,
dies, and they stretch from a
point three hundred miles ca.
of the southern point Of 81, ri
da, some six hundred miles to
the southeast. Nassau is the
capital city, situated on the Is
land of New Providence, a town
of some Twelve thousand in
llabitanis. 1t lies along the
slope Of a bluff, extending some
three miles in an easterly and
westerly direction. 1t is the
Incatest, tidliest place / ever saw.
The houses are built Of white
limestone: they are surrounded
by white walls; the streets are
cut ont of white coral; and
white seems TO be the prevail
ing color, except among the in
habitants, three-fourths Of whom
are black as the ace of spades.
Nassau has been largely visi-
ted by Americans this winter.
There have been over four hun
dred American visitors since
November 1st, all in search of
health, repose and freedom from
the cold weather Of the States.
They tarry from one to -four
months. according TO inclination
or the length Of their purses.
The climate in winter is most
charming, and it beats Florida
ont of sight. In Florida the
mercury often changes from
twenty to thirty degrees in
twelve hours; here it seldom
exceeds five degrees in thai
time, and often does not vary
that much in a week. Hence,
those having lung, throat, liver
or kidney troubles find great
comfort and health here, and
the claim Of Nassau 10 be the
greatest sanitarium on ii G
Western Continent is now gen.
orally admitted, many conccG-
ing that it is superior to Madei-
IA or Southern France.

There is a number one hotel
