The witless Leatherhead Of Dowdall's
Peoria Democrat who assists his master
In his great equestrian feat Of riding 1T
one and the same time two Dags going in
opposite directions; Is, as usual, wide Of
the mark. The city attorney Of this city
has had no connection with THE ARGUS,
either as editor or contributor, for several
months past. The poor Leatherhead
picks up a few stray items now and then
from the Organ aud Union, and fancies
that he really knows something of how
matters stand in this locality and what
the democrats are actually doing. His
sources of inform alton only serve to make
him more conspicuous ass, and when
ever he alludes TO the democracy Of this
city and county he makes a bigger fool
of himself than nature intended-and that
is simply immense.
Stick to Peoria politics, Leatberhead,
if you have any sense left at all, by SO do
ing you will still preserve your reputation
Of being the biggest fool in Illinois,"

Cheerfulnegg,

The cheerful veteran" of the Organ
possesses a happy elasticity of DISPOSE
ton strikingly analogous to his great pro-
totype Mark Tapley-he comes out strong
under great difficulties. Citizens gener-
ally were on the qui UiUe to know how the
ancient philosopher of six penny commu-
nism would get int o his little hole, pail
the hole in after him, and make the sur
face appear smooth and lovely. But he
does it all the same. He is fully equal
to the emergency. He comes out remark
ably strong-so he does. The Nationals
have every season to be! encouraged"
says the sold Vet"-so they have.
They acted from principle" so they did
the principle of the loaves and fishes
and still they are hungry. They refused
all offers of a coalition, or fusion, or truck
and-dicker for the purpose of gaining Of
fee, so they ought, so they ought, that
was the pink of purity, typical of 'old vet
himself. They nominated no man who
was not a true representative of their
principle" keno, korrect; that was no
bic, and bespeaks party proud and jeal
Gus" of its greatness and glory. "Ofcourse
the great majority Of former Democrats il

Oh Purity! On the love of the Angels
What publication the Democratic party
has undergone.

Editor Arens.

Editor Argus:
For democrats, from party stand point,
to work against the nationals is the 'wisest,
descreetest, best" that they could do, not
against as individuals, only as separate
organized life severed from the old stem.
The wisdom of the republicans in working
to destroy them! is the wisdom of the
tabled philosopher that killed the goose
that laid the golden eggs" for having lost
their majority in the county. their policy
ought to be, to keep their opponents d.
vided into two contending sections, so that
when it comes to the Offices they can swal-
low the oyster, and give them each shell.
Ii is preposterous idea that the demo
Gratis and nationals can coalece on the basis
OF the democrats going over to the ma
tionals. How can the nationals ever hope
to get the standing in the country the
democrats have. They have got the pos
session of the two branches of the govern
ment and every probability Of getting the
presidency. j. G.

The Ice.

Last night and this morning the ice
above the bridge broke and gorged on the
piers; aud at II O'Clock to day the entire
body of ice, sfrom shore to shore, moved
down stream without doingfany damage on
either side of the river. The railroad
track fronting the Diamond 10 warehouse
was slightly disturbed, but before any Sc
rious damage was done the body Of ice
parted, leaving solid section from the
point of the Island to the warehouse as a
barrier, while on the other side,of the river
and in the channel the ice from the rapids
continued 20 pass freely down stream. The
ice stopped running during the afternoon,
but commenced again at 4 o'clock with the
prospects of clear river by to morrow.

H. Baldwin, of Monroe City, Ind, writes
under date of Dec. 80, 1877, that his wife
used DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
with wonderful results. It effected her
entire cure, after several physicians had
failed. The many similar letters positive
ly affirming that the Favorite Prescription
had cured the diseases aud weaknesses
peculiar to women, induced DR.. Pierce to
sell it under guarantee. Ladies need no
longer submit to useless and painful local
treatment, as the Favorite Prescription is

who had been bed ridden for years have
been restored to perfect health by its use,
