BY MEYERS & MENGEL, soof land's (fotumn. you ALL HAVE HEARD OF HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS. AND HOG FLAN D'S GERMAN TONIC. Prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, Philadelphia. Their introduction into this country from Ger many occurred in 182.'). THEY CURED YOUR FATHERS AND MOTHERS, And will cure you and your children. They are entirely different from-* -p the many preparations now in the country cal I—l led Bitters or Tonics. They are no tavern JL-L preparation, or any thing like one; but good, honest, reliable medi cines. They are The greatest known remedies for Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA, Nervous Debility, JAUNDICE, Diseases of the Kidneys, ERUPTIONS OF THE SKIN, and all Diseases arising from a Disordered Liver, stomach, or IMPURITY OP THE BLOOD. Constipation, Flatulence. Inward Piles, Fullnes of Blood to the Head, Acidity of the Stomach, Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food, Full ness or Weight in the Stomach, Sour Eruc tations, Sinking or Fluttering at the Pit of the Stomach, Swimming of the Head, Hurried or Difficult Breathing, Fluttering at the Heart, Choking or Suffocating Sensa I I tions when in a Lying Posture* Dimness of Vision, Dots or Webs before the sight, Dull Pain in the Head, Defi ciency of Perspiration, Yellowness of the Skin and Eyes, Pain in the Side, Back, Chest, Limbs, etc., Sudden Flushes of Heat, Burning in the Flesh, Constant Imagi nings of Evil and Great Depression of Spirits. All these indicate diseases of the Liver or Di gestive Organs, combined with impure blood. IIOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS is entirely vegetable and contains no liquor. It is a compound of Fluid Extracts. The Roots. Herbs, and Barks from which these extracts are made, are gathered in Germany. -All the medi cinal virtueus are ex , traded from them by a scientific Chemist. I ft These extracts are then forwarded to this country to be used ex pressly for the manufacture of these Bitters. There is no alcoholic substance of any kind used in compounding the Bitters, hence it is the only Bitters that can be used in cßses where alcoholic stimulants are not advisable. IIOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit ters, with PURE Santa Cruz Rum, Orange, etc. It is used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in case where some pure alcoholic stimulus is required. You will bear in mind that these remedies ure en tirely different from any others advertised for the cure of the diseases named, these being scientific preparations of medicinal extracts, while the oth ers are mere decoctions of rum in some form. The TONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant and agreeable remedies ever offered to the public. Its taste is exquisite. It is a pleasure to take it, while its life-giving, exhilarating, and medicinal quali ties have caused it to be known as the greatest of all tonics. DEBILITY. There is no medicine equal to Hoofland's Ger man Bitters or Tonic in cases of Debility. They impart a tone |q and vigor to the whole system, strengthen -L the appetite, cause an enjoyment of the food, enable the stomach to di gest it, purify the blood, give a good, sound, healthy complexion, eradicate the yellow tinge from the eye. impart a bloom to the cheeks, and change the patient from a short-breathed, emaci ated, weak, and nervous invalid, to a lull-faced, stout, and vigorous person. Weak and Delicate Children are made strong by using the Bitters or Tonic. In fact, they are Family Medicines. They can be administered with perfect sufety to a child three months old, the most delicate female, or a man of ninety. These remedies are the best Blood Purifiers ever known and will cure all diseases resulting from'bad blond. Keep y)ur blood pure; keep your Liver in order; * keep your digestive organs in a sound, I healthy condition, by the use of these renie JL-i dies, and no .diseases will ever assail you. The best men inthecountry recommend them. If years of honest reputation go for anything, you must try these preparations. FROM HON. GEO. W. WOODWARD.

Don Piatt, a well known Western radical politician, writes as follows to the Cincinnati Commercial , under date Mac-a-Cheek, May 17: I wish to make a few observations of a philosophical sort, touching tbe late : Republican party. I assisted some twelve or thirteen 1 years since at the birth of the party just demised, having traveled from the Mac-a-Uheek valley to Buffalo, cairy-l ing a plank for the platform on which | the newly born was to be cradled, and my affections have grown with its growth to such an extent that its sud den death threw me into a state of pro found grief, disturbed by indignation, j I passed from lamentation to an indig nation meeting, and from an indigna- j tion meeting to deep grief. But with reflection came consolation. I came to the consoling thought that I was not 1 the only sufferer, and handing out my surplus affliction to my beloved coun try at large, I found my share could ■ be carried without much inconven ience. The immediate cause of its death : was dyspepsia, aggravated by whis key. But tbe seeds of weakness and dis ease were planted in its birth. We be-. gan a party of reform, of agitation, of aggression, and we took into our em braces the old whig party, that was a 1 party of conservatism, aggravated by i great dignity and timidity. The re sult lias been internal dissensions. The ultra reform party could not digest the ! conservative lump, and we have been j afflicted with eholic, so to speak, that. well nigh destroyed our usefulness. Our actions, in consequence, have been j contradictory. While at one time we! create a John Brown, and glory in i John Brown as our greatest and best; beloved, organized huge armies, fought out big wars and liberated a race, on the other hand we have been busy smoothing our war's wrinkled front with the decayed plasters of past wrong doing. It is called compromise— which means to give the devil your soul in a dignified, peaceful manner. The last interna! convulsion exhibi ted with great clearness tbe different elements. On the one side we had Butler, Stevens, Bingham, Logan, Sumner and Drake; on the other stood, in calm renosp, KWsp.nden n.ui Tram. . bull, while between floated another j element, born of the revolutionary i times, that had its marketable value, and fluctuated as either party bid. Now, I am prepared to admit that Messrs. Fessenden and Trumbull were actuated by the highest and the most honorable motives. I do not believe they could be bought with money or swayed by prejudice. They felt that they were jurors, under oath, answera ble to their God for the verdict they rendered. Nor do 1 blame them for responding as they did to the solemn question asked them by the Chief Jus tice. I believe that the thirty-five vo ting "guilty" were honorable, honest men. But in political life a blunder is worse than a crime, and Messrs. Fes senden and Trumbull blundered in be longing to the republican organization j at all. They should have gone over to the party of Stanbery and Groesiieek, where the old whig dignity is preserv ed intact, and where conservatism isso ; intense that an ancient wrong is pre ferred to a new right, and where offi cial position is so glorified that a halo is thorwn around an inebriated mule,; than an all-wise Providence, through j some inscrutable reason, has set on end and made our President. When Impeachment was first broach ed the evidence was as well known as it was at the end of the trial. At the beginning Messrs. Fessenden and, Trumbull should have made their! fight. Failing to defeat it they Should have resigned their positions, as hon orable men, and washed their digni fied hands of the responsibility. But j they chose to reserve themselves for a conflict when their triumph would be our death, and are somewhat astonish ed at the popular howl of wrath and indignation that comes up over their dignified, honest, honorable stupidity. | We could have survived a blunder great as this is had it come alone, but it is the concluding act of a long series, j Through the unsettled condition of a country suffering from civil wars we have developed more rascality than any organization ever called into exis tence. . We have filled the offices with j thieves and their pockets with steal- j ings. We have organized rings that in turn create officeholders and control the government. Men go in poor and j come out millionaires. For one dollar paid to the government from hard earned taxes, hundreds stick to the dir ty fingers of official scoundrels. We have whiskey rings, Indian Bureau rings, manufacturers' rings, national bank rings, railroad rings, landjobbing rings and internal improvement rings. From the lowest officials up to Sena ! tors and Cabinet officers, the taint of corruption runs, until the people, dazed and confused, confound the right and I listen with indifference to the threats of exposure. When charged with all this they ' have responded, "Andy Johnson is corrupt and appointed scoundrels to office." Well, Messrs. Fessenden and Trumbull have, under oath, pronounc ed him not guilty, and let him go ac quit. BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 12, 1868. At the end of a fearful war the peo ple had a right to expect that the ex penses of the Government should be brought back at once to a peace foot ing. They demandeda reduction of the army to what it was in 18G0; that the useless monitors should be sold for old iron; that the hundred thousand thieves called office-holders should be dismissed, and the appropriations cut down to a reasonable expenditure. We have replied that Andrew John son, who came in through assassina tion, has organized assassination at the South, and an arrmy of at least fifty thousand men is necessary to keep the peace. Messrs. Fessenden and Trum bull have voted not guilty, and let An drew go acquit. The people have expected that in our hands reconstruction at the South would progress with reasonable speed, and that unhappy region restored to a state of quiet and prosperity. The ex pectation might not be reasonable, for tbe blind bigotry that hurried us into a bloody war has developed in hate that, with stupid fury, casts aside all social and legal restraint. But we an swer that our wise acts of legislation have been rendered null and void by an Executive that plants itself squarely in opposition to the law-making pow er. Now, Messrs. Fessenden and Trumbull vote "not guilty," and the accused goes acquit. We awaken to the unpleasant fact that not Andrew Johnson, but the Re publican party, has been 011 trial, and the sentence is a sentence of death, ren dered by our own Senators, who have grown fat, rich and great through our organization. To have such a trial, with such a result (and Fes senden and Trumbull knew it as well at the beginning as they did at the end,) is a great blunder—a blunder worse than a crime. It may bo that the disgust felt by the country at large for the democratic peace party may call into existence a new organization ; but the Republican party is dead, and we may as well gracefully admit the fact and accept the situation. COLFAX ON FREE SPEECH. lii his letter of acceptance Schuyler Colfax says: "If there had boon 110 Republican party, a free press and free speech would he as unknown from the Poto mac to the Rio Grande as ten years ago." Perhaps Schuyler has not heard of the doings of the military Satraps in the South during the past year. Undoubt edly he is ignorant that an euiun in Tennessee and another in South Caro lina were lately imprisoned for stric tures published upon military govern ment; that several others have been compelled to relinquish their positions upon notice from the military authori ties that free speech is a crime; that scores of newspapers have been warn ed to cease opposition to the "recon struction" acts or be closed up. He does not know, probably, that Judges have been dragged to prison for refus ing to empanel negro juries; that all public officers have been debarred from the right to speak in opposition to the Africanization acts of the Rump; that thousands of white men have been rejected from the registry list for electioneering for a white man's government, and that negroes have been mobbed, beaten and murdered by "loyal" mobs for daring to speak for and vote the Democratic ticket. Of course he lias forgotten (Radicals have short memories, you know) the reign of terror which existed during 1862-3-1, during which more than one hundred Democratic newspaper offices werem o bbed an d dest n>y ed, a1 ul sco reso f editors thrown into prison and their pa pers pesuppressed, excluded from tbe mails, Ac., because they dared to pub lish truth. Ileneverheardthe tinkle of the little bell, which sent hundreds of honest and guiltless men to dungeons for the "crime" of It-lling the Radical despots and plunderers that they were hypocrites and scoundrels and that they were dragging the country down to the ruin and degradation which it is now so rapidly nearing. Certainly Mr. Colfax never knew or heard of these circumstances or he would not attempt to impose upon the American people so palpable an untruth as the above. —Patriot and Union. THE SUPPLY OF FOAL. Punch and other jokers have had a good time laughing at the scientific and statistical prophecies of the failure of English coal mines to supply the great demand, some centuries hence. Even should these predictions not come strictly to pass, they may become virtually true, as the enormous stores of coal already opened in America must, when they are in full develop ment, make English coal much less valuable, while the vast extent of new deposits continually being found make that probability a certainty. The Government geological survey of Ne braska has shown immense deposits to exist along the line of the Pacific- Railroad. These, on the Laramie Plains alone, occupy a basin five thous and square miles in extent, and exhib it tine coal beds of five, and from that to eleven, feet thick. Colorado tells a similar tale, although her coal is light er than either the bituminous or anthracite, being of later formation and of the variety called lignite. These stretch along the base of the moun tains, the remains of vast forests that once waved along their sides. We are only beginning to know the treas ures of this great continent.— Times. OEXERAL GRANT S SPEECH OF AC- ' < EPTANUE. The speech made by General GRANT in reply to the address of the President of the Chicago Convention giving him ceremonious notice of his nomination, is very brief, as was to have been ex pected; and it is as flat and common place as it is short. It contains but one thought beyond thanks and a promise to do his duty; and that thought is discreditable to him. We copy it as follows: " You have truly said, in the course of your address, (hat I shall have no policy of my own to interfere against the will of the peo ple." Such a servile utterance is a self-pro nounced satire on General Grant's in tellect and bis moral independence.— lie is told by General Haw ley that he is expected to be the political thrall of the party that has nominated him, and lie responds by saying that the ex pectation is well-founded, and that he will have no policy of his own. Hav ing deserted the Democratic faith in which he was educated and given up the ideas on reconstruction and ne- j gro suffrage which he was known to hold two years ago, he naturally finds no difficulty in promising to have no political opinions in the future. The surrender of his mental independence is the price General Grant is willing to pay for an election to the Presiden cy. He avows his willingness to go into that office as a puppet, and let the Radicals pull the strings. This abject pledge probably affords a correct measure of General Grant's capacity as a statesman. He does not propose to be "a pillar of state, but a weathercock to show which way the wind blows, veering as *the popular breath changes and having 110 direc tion of bis own. But tbe Presidency is no place for a man without ideas and destitute of a policy ; who knows no rule of conduct but the servile one : of doing as he is bid ; and because it 1 is bidden thinking it right. Such de bility of understanding and servility | of will cannot "take shelter under the! truism that, in a republican govern ment, the will of the people ought to j prevail. Certainly it ought; but their j deliberate, settled will as expressed in the Constitution ought to prevail over their fitful impulses 011 some fleeting occasion. The Constitution is their, permanent mandate. If by the will of; the people be meant the caprice of a transient majority, it is not at all binding on the President. Unless we adopt the tyrannical principle that in | a republican government the minority ; ! have no rights which the majority ; are bound to respect, it may be a base j desertion of his duty for a President to j have no policy of bis own in oppo- 1 sition to the will of a majority. If one part of the community undertakes to oppress the other, it is the clear duty of the President to use all the influence of his great office to prefect the weak. The danger that majorities may be come tyrannical is the reason for hav ing a settled constitution ; and as eon j stitutions do not execute themselves, : ours is so framed as to make the Presi dent the chief bulwark against the tyranny and oppression of domineer-j ing majorities. By swearing liiui, in j a peculiar manner, to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, and mak ing his single will equal in legislative ' efficiency to the combined wills of nearly two-thirds of the members of both Houses of Congress, it has clothed him with a power which is pretectly I idle and nugatory if it be his duty to have no policy of his own and never to resist the majority. If General Grant's ! servile view be the true theory of our government, why was authority given i to the President to thwart the majority lof Congress, and to bold that body j completely in check unless the majori ty against him is fully two-thirds in both Houses? Our Constitution is built on the broad basis of human rights ;it recognizes the rights of the minority as being as sacred as those ot the majority ; and it makes the Presi dent tlieir defender by clothing him with the veto power for their protec tion. But General Grant declares, in substance, that if he is elected Presi : dent there will be no more vetoes; that lie will never have a policy in oppo i sition to the will of the majority ; that when a majority tyrannize he will lx> its subservient and willing tool. We are proud to say that no candidate foi President ever before debased himself by such a servile abdication of all the sentiments that befit a patriot and a statesman.— JV. Y. World. A PIGGISH ILLUSTRATION.— A coun try girl several of whose sisters had married badly, was hersell about to take the dose. "How dare you get married," asked a cousin of hers, al ter having before you the unfortunate example of your sisters." Exclaimed the girl with spirit: "I chose to make a trial for myself. Did you ever see a parcel of pigs running to a trough of hot swill? The first one stieks in his nose, gets it scalded, and then draws back and squeals. The second burns his nose, and stands squealing inthesame manner. The third follows suit, and squeals too. But still it makes no dif ference to those behind ; but all in turn thrust in their noses ; just as if the first hadn't got burned or squealed at all.

EHATE IV URIKrN PAIII OK. The Washington Krpress gives the following graphic sketch of the scenes and tlie incidents which transpired at i the house of General Grant on the e vening when the Committee from the Chicago Convention informed him of his nomination : To the eye of the observant last eve ning was an interesting one, so far as the scenes and incidents transpiring in Gen. Grant's parlor were concerned. Each and every member of Jthe Com mittee seemed particularly desirous to make himself conspicuous, especially the brave and renowned Logan, who who was ever gallant to the company present. Chief manager Washburne the sign post of the Presidential candidate—im pelled by duty—jumped around like unto a hen upon a hot griddle. He must be present at all introductions ; he must bow every one in and every one out; he must hear all remarks made to his candidate, and if needs be, assist in the answer. To the ladies he was a perfect Charles]the Tenth ; to the committee a Grandfather Whitehead ; to the press an exceeding inconveni ence and a decided bore, with the anx ious remark of "be sure you've got it right." As he stood at the refresh ment table, smiling benignly upon his protege, and glancing askance at the different faces there presented, doubt less revolving in his miud # which he would send (when he l>eeame Secreta ry of the State) to this mission or that, his thoughts even forgot themselves, and his destruction of strawberries and cream was immense. Donnelly would have had no* show with Manager Washburne last evening. Grant and Colfax were near each oth er at the table, each enjoying an ice, when up stalked a Western member of the committee, with an inquiring mind for facts, and addressing General Grant, said : "Who writes your speech es, General ?". General Grant looked at the committee man, but made no an swer. The anxious member from the West again said : "We want to know ; as Colfax can make his own speeches and they say you can't." General Grant turned away from the Speaker and made no answer. Colfax turned to the man from the West and reques ted him not to make any such remarks in future. The great feature of the evening, however, was the presence of the ne gro delegate from North Carolina. — His name is J. 11. Harris, a delegate in the Chicago Convention from the Fourth District of North Carolina, late a member of the North Carolina Consti tutional Convention, a candidate for Congress (he declined however, in fa vor of a carpet bagger,) and now a member of the committee to apprise the Radical nominees for their good luck at Chicago. lie was introduced, of course, by the immense manager Washburne, but neither General Grant, Coffax, the la dies present, nor any other Great Rad ical Monguls seemed to know Brother Harris. The company at one time were nearly all crowded in the back pralor, while Harris was observed standing solitary and alone in a corner of the front parlor room. There he re mained half an hour—the observed of no one except the reporters, who pro ceeded to take side notes of Brother Harris' solitary condition. It was a fact to which many can testify, that neither Grant nor Colfax, save at the introduction, took any notice of Harris during the evening. He was like our Jake on a pic-nic, "not fixed"—or poor Sambo at a dance, "without Di nah being dar." Gen. Hawley, Gen. Logan, nor any of the larger Radical guns deigned to notice this practical innovation of black upon white. He was not noticed by the politicians, and only pitied by the re porters. Ile "stuck" however, remain ing until supper; secured a placeat the table, and like all true breeds of the j African type, did full justice to ices, i berries, and sweatmeats, generally. Tin: EVILS OF OI K FIXASfIAI MVS VF.yi. It is on the laboring and producing classes of this nation that the evils ol the infamous financial system of this country, introduced under Republican rule, are now falling. They, after all, must pay the whole tax raised by the system on the industry of the country. This system grinds the face of the poor, depresses their energies, disheartens their spirits, embitters their life, vitia tes their social habits, and impairs the important sense of the equal dignity of human nature. But it is in its moral effect that the injury is deepest and deadliest. The heart of the nation is corrupted, and its best principles, from which alone a sound prosperity and happiness can proceed, depraved. An effect is pro duced analagous to that on the charac ter of a gambler. The curse of avarice enters and demoralizes it; and deaden ing every good sentiment of justice, virtue, high mindedness, benevolence, frugality, gives birth to a sordid sel fishness, a thirst after wealth as the su preme good, a restless discount, a reck lessness of means, a disregard of the sanctity of promises, and indifference to debt, and a fondness for display and luxury. How far these fearful symp toms of the worst of all possible evils national demoralization—have been manifested during the last six years every one can judge for himself. He can read the long catalogue of the crime and beastliness for himself in the daily journals and the proceedings of our courts .—Evening Herald.
