The Republican Party Must Go.

The Democratic party, having lost
it's old principles and acquired no new
ones, has been provided by the New
York San and its imitators with a
cOmpendious battle,cry which needs
no principles in the phrase. THE
Republican party must CO." Our vi
vacious contemporary repeats this
sentence with the monotonous regu-
laritv of "Polly wants a cracker,
which the new Democratic war.cry
aptly resembles in expressing at once
an everpreseRt appetite and an earn.
est desire for its qualification but in
its constant repetition of this slogan
the Sa0n fails to give its readers the
benefit of the arguments which in the
next campaign are sure to accompany
this new version of the old Democrat
ic creed, the party for the Office and
the Office for the Democratic party.
A very brief acquaintance with af
fairs will enable our Democratic con.
tempsraries at once to give informa-
tion to their readers ard point to their
new cry after this fashion:
The public credit was never higher
The Republican party must go.
No National debt was ever paid of
faster-The Republican party must
go.
The currency of the Nation was
never in sOunder shape-Ths Repnb
lican party must go.
Manufactures have never before
been more extended than under repub
lican protection-The Republican
party must go.
The Federal revenue was never col
lected with less cost-Ths Republican
party must go.
The per cent of loss by official de
falcatlon IN the last ten years has beer
less than under any democratic presi
dent from jackson to Buchanan
The Republican party must 60.
A Republican House in the las
two years reduced the burden of Fed

There are dangerous counterfeits in
circulation purporting to be "Walnut
Leaf Hair Restorer." The strongest
evidence of its great value is the fact
that parties knowing its great efficacy
try to initiate It. Each bottle of the
genuine has a fac simite of q walnut
leaf blown in the glass aud a Green

while it possesses all the properties
