They are no tavern A Apreparation. or any i
thing like one; but good, honast, reliable medi
cines They are
The greatest Inoma remedies for
Liver Complaint,

Burning in the Flesh. Constant Imagi

AH these indicate disease* of thr Liver or Di
gestive Organ*, 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 arc
made, are gathered in Germany. All the medi
cinal virtueus arc ex y-v tracted from them by
a scientific Chemist, fl I These extracts are
then forwarded to this V T 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 cwscs where alcoholic
stimulants are not advisable.
IIOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit
ters, with PORK 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 are 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 gome form. The
TONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant and
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
ail tonics.
DEBILITY.
There is no medicine equal to Hoofland's Ger
man Bitters or Tonic in cases oV Debility.
They impart a tone 1-f and vigor to the whole
system, strengthen A 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 full-faced,
stout, and vigorous person.
Weak and Delicate Children are
made strong by using the Bitters or Tonie. In
fact, they are Family Medicines. They can be
administered with perfect safety to a child three
months old, the most delicate female, or a man of
ninety
These remtdiet are the best
Blood Purifiers
ever known and will cure all diseases resulting
from bad blond. Keep yiur blood pure; keep
your Liver in order; -w- keep your digestive
organs in a sound, I healthy condition, by
the use of these retne J. J 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.

DR. JACKSON — DEAR SIR: —I have been fre

regarding the pi aclice as out of my appropriate
sphere, I have in all cases declined; but with a
clear proof in various instances, and particularly
in my own family, of the usefulness of Dr. Hoof
land's German Bitters, I depart for once from
my usual course, to express my full conviction
that for general debility of the system, and es
pecially for Liver Com •• y plaint, it is a safe
and valuable preparation. In some cases
it may fail ; but usual i-l ly, I doubt not, it
will be very beneficial to those who suffer from the
above causes. Yours, very respectfully,
J H. KENNARD,

FELLOW-CITIZENS: I ap ftr before
you this evening merely to%k a few
words of cordial endorseme of the
principles enunciated by th Demo
cratic National Convention, of the
nomination of Seymour and 1 j r .
We are on the threshold of t most
momentous political contest ofir na
tional history—one which wilhe an
epoch in our annals as marked . that
of the war for the preservation ' the
Union. We fought four years,aeri
flced half a million of lives andfour
billions of money, to establis the
principle that the Union is indidu
ble. We have now to determine, n d
I hope by the peaceful abitrainei 0 f
the ballot-box, whether we can
serve the form of government u
queathed to us by our fathers.
The war was grandly successfu
For three years past there has not been s
in the Southern States, an arm raise,
against the national authority; fi ' n
three years past our internal forts havj o
l>een dismantled, and the defenses at
long our Southern coast, erected toe
guard against foreign invasion, noe
longer fearing domestic foes, have ]
turned all their guns seaward; for •
three years past the commerce of the
great Northwest has flowed down the
Mississippi to the Gulf as free as its
waters flow. [Applause.]
The Southern people have not yield
ed a sullen, reserved, or resentful sub
mission to the decision of the war.
They fought to settle a disputed ques
tion of construction of the Constitu
tion, which our forefathers disagreed
about, even while framing that instru
ment, and which they transmitted un
settled to their descendants. The
South elected to settle it by wager of
battle, and, having lost in the abitra
ment of the sword, they have shown
themselves willing to accept arid abide
by its decision. The war had scarcely
ended, when, by amendments to their
State constitutions and laws, they for
mally renounced the doctrine of seces
sion, to establish which they went to
war; and I challenge successful contra
diction of the statement, that, since
the year 1865 they have shown in ev
ery possible way their loyal adhesion j
to the government of the United
States, and their absolute and unre
served renunciation of the false doc
trine of secession.
Now, gentlemen, the war was for no
other purpose than to settle that dis
puted question. We all recollect that
while it was going on the Democrats
and Conservatives of the loyal States,
who furnished at least one half of the
men and money for its prosecution,
BEDFORD. PA., FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 7, 1868.
j were apprehensive lest the Republi
cans would do just that which they are
now doing—use, in violation of the
Constitution, the vast powers confided
to them for the restoration of the IT
nion for purposes of party and section
al aggrandizement. And yo*£r.ll re
member how often and how solemnly
ly the Republican party repeated the
pledge that the war should not be wag
ed in no spirit of oppression, but solely
to restore the Union, with all the e
quality and rights of the States unim
paired.
The people of the United States trus
ted these declarations and believed
them sincerely made. The soldiers
trusted them, and, therefore, risked
health and life in the cause. I ask any
man who followed the flag during the
war whether he would have fought to
disfranchise and degrade the white peo
ple of the South, blot out their States,
and subject them in serfdom to their
former slaves, and to destroy the form
of our national government establish
ed by the Constitution? [Prolonged
cheering, and cries of "Never, never."]
If Jacobins in the Capitol—who sat in
cushioned chairs through the war and
filled the quartermaster's, and com
missary's, and contractor's depart
ments with their friends and relatives—
who never saw rebel lire except at Bull
Run, and then stampeded at the first
flash—had avowed such atrocious pur
poses while the war was going on, the
Union armies would after conquering
the rebels have marched on Washing
ton to disperse these usurpers as equal
ly dangerous to the Constitution and
Union with the rebels in arms. [Tre
mendous cheering.]
I must, however, do the leaders of
j the Radical party the justice to say
that during the war the most of them
sincerely intended to perforin these
solemn pledges, and to have the avow
ed object of the war promptly accom
plished at its termination. But when
it ended they forgot their pledges and
their patriotic purposes. They bad not
the courage to restore the Union, with
the Southern States governed by white
electors, lest, with its restoration, the
Republican party would lose control of
the general government. As many of
the Radical leaders preferred when the
South seceded, to let it <fo in peace in
order that they might govern the rest
of the nation, so at the end of the war
they chose to destroy the Southern
States, rather than have them return
to shake their power.
Now, fellow-citizens, no man could
have complained of the Republican
party if it had fairly used its power at
the close of the war, within the limits of
the Constitution, for party advantage.
What we have chiefly to complain of
is that it has not only prevented re
union, but has, by Congressional fiat,
destroyed, or attempted to destroy,
the ten States %vc: t-ostore to
the Union. [Applause.J If they had
only destroyed the ten States, and left
them as Territories, to be restored iu
the next generation as States, their acts
would have been more tolerable. But
after destroying them, they disfran
chised and disabled the whole govern
ing talent of the South, and committed
the political destinies of those States to
the custody of a race just emerging
from barbarism, through slavery, with
whom we cannot commingle on terms
of either social or political equality.
Our form of government is one which
can only exist and flourish where the
electors are intelligent, and are, or may
become, homogenous. If controlled in
great part by electors grossly and hope
lessly incompetent, of a race which can
never become one with us, we cannot
expect the government to stand and
prosper. [Cries of "That's so," and
applause.]
While the walls of these black gov
ernments are going up they have to b<
propped by Northern bayonets, and
knowing that the Northern people will
not long keep an army in the South to
maintain them, Congress has now on
itsanvil a bill by which they will strip
our Northern arsenals of artillery,
muskets, sabres, and pistols, and give
them to a black militia in the South
ern States, to sustain these despotic
governments when the itntional army
shall have been withdrawn.
When these usurped [date govern
ments shall have been established, one
)f three results will follow: Either
hey will fall by thefiatbf the North
irn people in November! or the South
am white men, by supenor tact, will,
h rough the forms of rfiese de facto
overuments, obtain control of them ;
|r this whole scheme ofheconstruction
I ill he overthrown by tie upheaval of
j il war—aye, a civil waf which, if the
1 Moral government tales side with
* black man against tile white, will
B lad over the North, knd its ashes
111 cover the ruins of ihe Republic.
B is the result for whith our armies
J, t? Is thisthe "pace?* of which
( ' ol nl Grant talks ii his letter?

undij, e Constitution, .vhieh was the
oa 'y .lilieation and oljectof the war,
the I heals give us "his atrocious
schenHjj<r with threatened disasters
to the .public. [Appliuse.]
But t Republican party has not
stoppedk re . it has rot-bed the Presi
dent of nios t essential constitution

the Lxee V e as one of the indepen
dent co-q na t e departments of the

i ackuowled^ no |j m jt to its power,
; and no righ, atl y O tj lor department

I * as k, felt.citizens, whether we
now live under the government formed
by our forefathers—a government of
three co-ordinate departmets, each in
dependent in its sphere, each a check
on the usurpations of the others ? No,
we do not live under a Constitution,
but under a Congress which tramples
the Constitution under foot, and is for
the time omnipotent.
Three years after the total suppres
sion of the rebellion, the Radical par
ty gives us as the result of its rule,
and in return for the vast powers and
treasures confided to it, a Union with
ten of the great States destroyed, and
ten St. Domingos erected in their
stead, and in place of the beneficent
government we inherited, it gives us
a government in which the liberties
of the States have been swallowed up
by the central government, and the
powers of the other Federal depart
ments swallowed up by Congress. In
short, we have no longer the govern
ment of the Constitution, but of a gen
eral assembly—a form which in no na
tion has ever lasted a lifetime—which
is always begot of the frenzy and pas
sions of revolutionists, and which has
always been swiftly followed and easi
ly overthrown by the despotism of a
Cromwell or a Napoleon. |Loud
cheering.]
1 have been appealed to an hundred
times, as one who fought for the Union,
to turn from the Democratic party and
support for the Presidency the leader
of the Union armies. Gentlemen, it is
because I love the Union and the Con
stitution earnestly enough to fight for
them that I shall not support Grant,
but shall support Seymour. fGreat
cheering.]
This is a contest in which the eandi
! dates presented for the suffrages of the
people should be men of high states
manship. While I freely accord to
General Grant all the honor due to his
patriotic and successful career as a sol
dier; while I am not only willing, but
proud to say that Donelson, Vicksburg,
and Misssion ltidge will make his
name as a soldier immortal, I cannot,
in good conscience, assert that his state
papers place him in the front rank of
statesmen. As a soldier he will always
have the respect and honor of those
who followed theflagjbutasthe zealous
supporter and instrtmmnt of the in tni -
erable and disloyal usurpations of
Congress, he is not entitled £> u,e tru= t
or support of any man wore the
blue, and still fovea the Constitution
and the Union. ( Prolonged applause.)
In Mr. Seymour-Ave have a candi
date who is a statesndtin and a patriot
one who would have been distinguish
ed in the most illustrious days of A
merican statesmanship—who, as Gov
ernor of the greatest State of the Union,
when Gettysburg was fought, and af
terward, when the Capital was beseiged,
efficiently exerted his mighty powers
for the rescue of the Republic—who,
for his distinguished service to the U
nion cause, received the cordial thanks
of Secretary Stanton, a War.Minister
never known to be fulsome or hasty in
thanking Democrats for patriotic ef
forts. Listen to Mr. Stanton's letter of
thanks to Governor Seymour:

"WASHINGTON, June 27, 1803.)'
"DEAR SIR: I cannot forbear ex
pressing to you the deep obligations I
feel for the prompt and candid support
you have given to the government in
the present emergency. The energy,
activity and patriotism you have ex
hibited, I may be permitted personally
and officially to acknowledge, without
arrogating any personal claims on my
part in such service or in any service
whatever.
"I shall be happy tobealwaysesteem
ed your friend.
"EDWIN M. STANTON.
"His Excellency Horatio Seymour."
If Governor Seymour, while thus
holding up the hands of the govern
ment against the rebels, also cour
ageously maintained the rights of the
citizens of the loyal States—protested
against the imposition, by a partisan
provost marshal general, of exorbitant
draft quotas in Democratic districts,
and against the trial of Northern civil
ians by military commissions for offen
ses unknown to the laws, and defined
only in Stantons's "General orders,"
Detective Baker's "insturuction," or
Dr. Lebig's newly invented "common
law of war"—l honor him all the
more for that. [Great laughter and
cheers. |
Gentlemen let the Radicals go forth
and preach the destructive and revenge
ful measures they have been concoc
ting for three years past. Let them
try to rekindle in the North the pass
ions which should have died with the
war. Let them show what they have
accomplished in destroying the .South
ern States, enslaving the white* man,
and making the negroes rulers ; and in
tearing down the beneficent govern
ment under which this nation has
flourished for a century. I have no
fear of the result. \Ve will go forth
and advocate a cordial reunion of the
white people, North and South. We
will talk of the Southern people no lon
ger as enemies, but as friends and
brethren united with us in restoring
the union and the government of the
Constitution. We will revive noreveng
ful memories of the war, but rather
grateful memories of the Revolution,
of 1812, and of Mexico, in which North
ern and Southern blood flowed on the
same fields and on the same side. I lav
ing, as Mr. Lincoln boasted, captured
"Dixie," we will play it alternately
with "Old John Brown," to awaken
memories of triumph or defeat, but
only proud recollections of the valor
displayed on both sides during the re
bellion, and the renown and power it
added to the American name through
out the world. We will carry the old
flag, bearing 011 its folds no stars in
black eclipse, but thirty-seven stars,
each equally luminous and effulgent,
and over the wreck of the Radical par
ty and its usurpations we will restore
the Constitution and the Union. [Tre
mendous cheering. J

r j -Major-Genera/ Hancock;
1 deem it proper to direct your at
tention to statements made by the
; Radical press to the effect that you are
greatly dissatisfied with the results
| °f the National Democratic Conven
tion. The object of the statements is
I to create an impression that you do not
acquiesce in the judgment of the Con
vention. That your friends do not,
and in consequence Seymour and Hlair
will not have their cordial support. I
wish you to know, General, that I
have taken the liberty to pronounce
these statements false, and to assure
those who have spoken with me on
1 the subject, that nothing could cause
you more regret than to find your
j friends, or any of them, less earnest in
supporting the ticket which has been
nominated than they would have been
had your own name stood in the place
of Mr. Seymour.

M v DKA K SIR : lam greatly oblig
ed for your favor of the 13th* inst.—
Those who suppose that 1 do not ac
quiesce in the work of the National
Democratic Convention, or that I do
not sincerely desire the election of its
j nominees, know very little of my
character, believing, as I really do,
that the preservation of constitutional
government depends on the success of
the Democratic party in the coming
election, were 1 to hesitate in its candid
support, I feel 1 should not only falsify
my one record, but commit a crime
against my country. I never aspired
to the Presidency on account of my
self. I never sought its doubtful hou
! ors and certain labors and responsibil- !
itios merely for the position. My own 1
wish was to promote, if I could, the !
good of the country, and to rebuke " ,e ;
spirit of revolution which 1 -" u invaded j
every sacred pree : -~< uI liberty. \\ hen,
j therefore J uU pronounced the state
| n ,.us in question false, you did exact
j ly right. Principles, not men, is the
motto for the rugged crisis in which
! we are now struggling. Had I been
made the Presidential nominee I should
have considered it a tribute, not to me,
but to the principles which 1 had pro- |
claimed and practiced; but shall I
cease to revere those principles because
by mutual political friends another has
i been appointed to put them into exe
i cution ? Never; never. These, sir,
| are my sentiments, whatever interes
ted parties may say to the contrary,
and I desire that all may know and
understand them. I shall ever hold in
grateful remembcrance the faithful ■
friends who, hailing from every see- j
tion of the Union, preferred me by |
their votes, and other expressions of j
confidence, both in and out of the Con- ]
vention, and shall do them all justice j
to believe that they were governed by j
patriotic motives; that they did not j
propose simply to aggrandize my per- '
sonal fortunes, but to serve their coun- 1
try through me, and that they will j
not suffer anything like personal pref- j
erences or jealousies to stand between j
them and their manifest duty.
I have the honor to be, dear sir, very
respectfully yours,
(Signed) Wi NFI ELD S. 11 A NCOCK.
A LABOR INO MAX FALCT LATIXG.
All we want the laboring men to do
is to calculate the difference between
the cost of living in 1559, before the
Republican party came in power. A
laboring man down in Maine has set
the example, and has given the benefit
of his calculation to the Bangor Demo
crat. He figures as follows:
For Jour days' work in 1859 I could !
buy a barrel of excellent flour. For
an equally good barrel now I have to
work eight days.
For one day's work in 1859 I could
buy five pounds of tea. For the same
day's work I can now buy but two
pounds.
For one day's work then I could buy
thirty pounds of sugar. For a day's
work now I can get but fifteen pounds.
For a day's work in 1859 1 could buy
eight pounds of tobacco. For a day's
work now I can buy but three pounds. |
For a day's work in 1859 I could buy
fourteen pounds of coffee. For a day's
work now I can but five pounds.
For one month's work in 18591 could
clothe my self and family for one year.
To do the same now, I am obliged to
work full two months and a half.
I might thus go through the whole
list of articles that a laboring man and
his family consume. The fact is that
we are permitted to enjoy but one-half
of the fruits of our labor; the other
half goes to the Government and the
plunderers of the public treasury.
Is it not time for me and my fellow
laborers to look around us, ascertain
the cause of this robbery of labor, and
apply the remedy ?
A WELL, known lawyer, who prides
himself upon his skill in cross-examin
ing a witness, had an odd-looking geni
us upon whom to operate. The wit
ness was a shoemaker.
"You say, sir, that the prisoner is a
thief?"
"Yes sir, 'cause why, she confessed
it."
"You also swear that she bound
shoes for you subsequent to the confes
sion ?'•
"I do, sir."
"Then," giving a sagacious look at
the Court, "we are to understand that
you employ dishonest people to work
for you even after their rascalities are
known ?"
"Of course, how else could I get as
sistance from a lawyer?"

How is the ignorance of some far
mers about rearing calves in conjunc
tion with dairying to l>eaccounted for?
Every calf from the milch cows can be
raised without making one pound less
of butter, and the calves be as good at
a year old as any which have sucked
their dams. Even where cheese i 9
made it can be done, though not quite
as easily as when butter only is pro
duced. Having seen it done for forty
years, (when only seven years old I
helped feed a number of calves sum
mer and winter, for my father dairied
all the year round and often bought
calves for raising, in addition to all
brought by his own cows,) ami hav
ing done it myself, and being now
raising some from three to nine weeks
old, I can say with confidence that
any man must be a little wanting in
sound agricultural knowledge who
does not understand this simple,
and in many districts universal, way
of breeding, weaning and rearing the
best dairy stock in the world. The
calves I am now weaning on milk
which stands thirty-six hours, and
then has the cream taken off, are in as
thriving and growing a state as any
can be.
No herd of dairy cows can be kept
up and improved to return full profits,
unless attention is given to use a first
class bull from a good milking dam, as
well its from pure blood, and then all
the heifer calves from good cows may be
weaned aud brought round to be milch
cows in due season. Some few years
since a gentleman started a large dairy
in the West. I corresponded with him
and declared that he must raise calves
to make the establishment pay, but it
was of no use, and the farm was adver
tised for sale, as hundreds now are,
and will be, because with all these fine
cheese factories, &c., the majority of
the great dairymen do not know how
to raise calves cheaply, nor how to
force them into "iaturity early; nor
do thev i—uerstand the importance of
„<>;.ig only such a bull as is adopted
for the getting of dairy cows. "Old
Anthony" got stock sixteen years; he
commenced as a yearling, and it was
equally good one year as another.—

As much attention is now
to the cultivation of the grape in \ lr
ginia, it may be interesting to all per
sons engaged therein, for me to make
a report of an experiment and its re
sults, on a Franklin grape vine, (one,
the most liable to mildew which 1
know of) in the summer of 1867, when
the grapes were about half grown.
I was engaged one evening (after
sun down,) in watering some dwarf
pear trees with a solution of copperas
1-4 to 1-2 lb. to a gallon of rain water,)
when I thought I would try it on the
grape vine. 1 did so and the next
morning vine and fruit looked black
aud badly; but in twenty-four hours
after, all mildew and rot had diappear
ed and the vine looked fine and healthy
and what fruit remained ripened
well. Should this prove to be, in all
eases, a cure for mildew and rot on
grape vines, its benefits to the grape
growing community will be immense.

To hear Gough tell the "drugger"
story, is worth a quarter at any time.
The story is a capital one, but it takes
the man to tell it. This he does in
some such words as these :
"A long, lean, guant Yankee en
tered a drug store and asked:
"Be you the drugger?"
"Well 1 s'pose so, I sell drugs."
"Waal, hev you got any of this here
seen tin'stuff as the gals put on their
hekechers ?"
"O yes."
"Waal, our Sal's gwine to be married,
and she gin me ninepenceand told me
to invest the hull amount in scentin'
stuff so's to make her sweet, if I could
find some to suit; so if you've a mind
I'll just smell round."
The yankee smelled round without
being suited until the druggist got tir
ed of him; and taking down a bottle of
hartshorn said:
"I've got a scentin' stuff that will
suit you. A single drop on your hand
kerchief will stay for weeks, and you
can't wash it out, butto get the strength
of it you take a big smell."
"Is that so Mister? Waal, just hold
on a minute till I get my breath, and
when I say neow, you put it under my
smeller."
The hartshorn of course knocked the
Yankee down, as liquor has done many
a man. l>o you suppose he got up and
smelt again, as a drunkard does ? Not
he; but he rolling up his sleeves and
doubling up his fists, he said:
"You made me smell that tarnal
everlastin' stuff, Mister, and now I'll
make you smell fire and brimstone."
A Western editor, in response to a
subscriber who grumbles that his morn
ing paper was intolerably damp, says,
"that it is l>ecause there is so much due
on it."
