is entirely vegetable and contain? no liquor. It
is a cmpc-uni of Fluid Extra,-ts. The Roots,

made, are gathered in Germany. All th? medi
cinal virlueus are ex . traded from them by
a scientific Chemist, f ft These extracts are
then forwarded to this v/ country to be used ex
pressly fur the manalaeture of these Bitters.
There is no alcoholic substance of any kind used
in c mp.iunding the Bitters, hence ii is the only
Bitters that can he used in esses where alcoholic
stimulants are not advisable.
IIOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
i is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit
ters. with PURE Santa Cruz Ruin, Orange, etu. It
is u#el for the same disease# as tbe Bitters, in ca-e
where some pure alcoholic stimulus is required.
Y'- u will bear in mind that these remedies are en
tirely different from any other? advertised for tbe
cure -f the diseases named, these being soient'fie
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 cause! 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 |d and vigor to the whole
system, strengthen -I- 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 eve. impart a bloom to the cheeks, and
change the patient from a short-breathel. 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 Tonic. In
fact, they are Family Medicines. They can be
administered with perfect safety to a child three
months old, tbe most delicate female, or a man of
ninety.
Thrn remedies are the best

1 A CONTRAST BETWEEN DEMOCRATIC
AND RADICAL RULE.
A IR—SUftA NX All.
Our fathers made a government.
And fixed it up all right :
The people then were all content,
Their taxes were so light :
The Democrats then hs-1 the rule.
The laws they made were just :
They also had another rule—
"ln God wc put our trust."
Chorus. —Then oar taxes
Were so very light.
We always had the cash on hand
To pay them off at sight.
While Dtmt craiic mtn did rule,
Our income was so great
We had a '-surplus revenue'
To give to every State ;
The people then were rich and gay.
With plenty were content,
And every patriot dii say,
God bless the government.
Cho. —Then our taxe?. Ac.
Now Radicals have made a debt
More than we can figure :
And they will make it bigger yet
In Bureaus for the nigger ;
For now one half of all we make
With plow, or spade, or axes,
In the way of Luxe#
Cho. —Now high taxes
Are daily growing bigger:
He pay a million every week
To feed the idle nigger.
But working men of every class
Have now made up their mind
To give the Radicals a paus.
And leave them all behind ;
It will be done now, you may bet
The buttons on your coats.
Then we will pay the nation's debt
In legal-tender notes.
Cho. —Then our taxes. Ac.
WE tell our Democratic friends to
compel political opponent- to contest
this canvass on facts— not on personal
ities.
Tell them we go before tiie people on
the great issues. Shall we restore the
Constitution and the Union of our fath
ers ? Shall wo restore ami preserve the
supremacy of the white race, or make
the negro the ruling element ?
Shall we preserve and continue the
immense National Debt, to please the
Bondholders
Shall we continue a large standing
army to support the negro power
south
Shall we continue the I "reedmen's
Bureau to aid the despotism south and
the carjict baggers?
Shall we continue to give the Bond
holders gold and other people rags
worth about 70 cents on the dollar?
Shall we continue to vote all these
and thus vote over five hundred mil
lions of taxes upon ourselves?
All persons who wish to continue
this condition of things will vote the
radical ticket from the President down
—those opposed, will not so vote.
Choose ye between!
In lftGl, when the Abolition party
came into power, the public debt was
only seventy millions. That party has
been in power eight years, and the
debt is Twenty-Jive hundred millions.
During Buchanan's administration die
expenses of the general government
were about seventy millions annually.
Now, under Republican rule, they are
over five Hundred millions a year !
This is the honed reform party!—
Facts are stubborn things.
In thrusting Virginia, Mississippi
and Texas out of tbe Union of tbe
States, and placing them under the
sword of the military, the Radicals are
guilty of revolutionary usurpation.
The act is au outrageous violation of
the Constitution, and will surely be re
sented by a free people. Under our
federal system of government, there is
no place in the Union for subject prov
inces.
"Let us have peace," says Gen.
Grant. His wish will be realized next
November, when he will receive his ev
erlasting quietus, and through the elec
tion of Seymour the country receive
the peace it so greatly need*.
BEDFORD. PA.. FRIDAY MORNING, ADGDST 28. 1868.
The Radicals are fa#t urging the
country to the very verge of a new and
terrible civil war. In thrusting three
States out of the Uuion, and in attempt
ing, through the action of carpet-bag
Legislatures, to deprive the people of
two other States of their suffrages for
President, the Radicals have carried
their gigantic usurpation far beyond
the point of forbearance. When the
war, wantonly provoked by Greely,
Forney and other Jacobin incendiaries,
shall come, they will not be suffered to
lurk in the rear and shout, On to Rich
mond !
I have knocked you down, I have bea
ten you, I have spit in your throat, I
have picked your pocket, says the
trooly loil man, and now if you heat
me back again or attempt to deprive me
of my hard-earned gains, I will cry
out revolution, and everybody who
isn't a rebel and a traitor and a bloody
revolutionist and a disloyal man and a
repudiationist will fly to my rescue.
Let us have peace ; ami now, my good
friend, for another dig at your purse.
■
The speculators, traders, and Indiana
gents ha^veagainsuceeetled in provoking
an Indian war on our Western frontier.
Dc#patches from Kansas state that the
Indians have mustered iu force vari
ously estimated fiom Goo to 1,500 men,
and have threatened to sweep the re
mote settlements. Women and chil
dren arerejtorted as fa.#t coming up to
the denser settlements, for protection.
In one of Chief-Ju#tice Chase's let
ters he Mivs: "Four years more the
rule of such men as are now dominat
ing Congress will leave u# little of mor
ality and Republicanism worth
preserving." This, we suppose, ans
wers the question, whether Mr. Chase
will support the Democratic nominees.
And it ought to answer the question as
to whom thousands of conservative
and fair minded Republicans will sup
port.
The recent victories in Kentucky,
Oregon, and Montana are having their
effect upon the Radicals, as powerful
a# that upon Belshazzar when he saw
the mysterious writing upon the wall.
Already there is wavering in the ranks.
As they hear further Democratic in
roads upon their ranks they will break
and scatter in dismay. Their no-poli
cy reader nud u-uxainuumnce among
the intelligence of the country.
Our Democratic exchanges are going
into the chicken business again, over
recent victories. Talk of chicken
choler! It hasn't visited Democratic
coops. Even the appearance of a Rad
ical political preacher wouldn't affect
those roosters. They look defiant, and
are doing a wonderful amount of erow
ing-
The Democrats are showing great
spirit everywhere. The genuine en
thusiasm of the country is with them.
It rests with the active workers to
bring it out. Raise the true issues of
the day, and thousands of our old
friends will leave the Radical crowd.
The Democracy and Constitutional
Government is our motto.
The Tribune adroitly resorts to the
Robinson election case in Pennsylvania
to direct public attention from the stu
pendous frauds in Florida, by which a
bogus Legislature takes away from the
people of an entire State the right to
vote for President.
Who are the peace-makers? The
ex-rebel Generals Cheatham and For
rest, who implore for peace, or the
truculent i adical Parson Rrownlow,
who sent an armed negro militia at. the
throats of the people? The Pittsburg
Chronical answered the other day.
The Pre*# shamelessly persists in its
advocacy of the usurpation of the car
pet-hag Legislature of Florida, in
choosing electors for President, in or
der to defeat the will of the people.
The Radical tariff polioy increases
the burthens of the people, diminishes
the receipts of the treasury, and en
riches ttie capitalist, but does not in
crease the wages of labor.
The Radicals claim that the carpet
baggers have repealed the disfranchis
ing laws in Alabama. Yet they require
every voter to swear that he is in favor
of negro suffrage.
The substitution of the National
Rank currency for the greenbacks of
thefJovernment, costs the people $lB,-
000,000 annually in interest.
Gen. Grant will be about as success
ful in riding into the White House on
his mule, as Fremont was on hi.swooly
horse.
The bondholders have their interests
atstakeupon the next election, llut
their interests and the people's are not
the same.

OUR FINANCES.
JIHI?? Thurninn on Bcbl ant! Taxation.
The Hon. Allen G. Thurman, cf
Ohio, addressed the recent West Vir
ginia Deniocra'ic Mass Convention,
following Mr. Pendleton. Judge
Thurman was the Democratic candi
date for Governor of Ohio at the last
election, and is the United States Sen
ator elect who will take Ben. Wade's
place next March.
The Public Debt.
Judge Thurman said the public debt
amounted to $2,500,000. What it was
exactly at this time was difficult to say,
from the fact that the Treasury De
partment wat quite dilatory in making
its monthly statements. Perhaps this
neglect arose from the fact that at the
last monthly statement the debt bad
increased about nine millions of dol
lars in a single month, and that the
next month will show an increase of
twenty millions—a monthly expendi
ture sufficient in the days of Jackson to
run the government for six months in
ali its department-, while this is sim
ply the increase of the public debt for
the short space of one month. The
speaker read from the printed report
of the Secretary of the Treasury to
prove the correctness of hi# estimates.
Taxation Then and -Voir.
What a contrast this condition of na
tional finances presented with that
which ex islet I at the time that Jack
son made his proclamation that the
United States owed not a cent in the
world ' Why wonder these Radicals
sought to avoid the issue, and declared
the only question was whether we
should have another civil war ? This
cry might do to frighten a few —the
speaker was about to say obi women,
but he would not—it might do to
frighten a few wavering men, who
could be frightened out of the country
by a few old women with broomsticks.
This terrible second civil war was put
forward now to divert attention from
the public debt.
Compare our debt with that of Great
Britain. Our debt was two thousand
eight hundred millions, that of Great
Britain four thousand millions. But
while our population was only 31,0Xi,-
000, the population of Great Britain
was 30,000,000. The rate of taxation in
Great Britain was ninety cents on the
hundred dollars, while the American
people were taxed at the rate of $3.03
on the hundred dollars: more than
three times as much as the taxes im
posed on what we had been in the
habit of pitying as the poor, tax-ridden
people of Great Britain. Some one
might say, "You are mistaken, Mr.
Thurman ; 1 do not pay $3.03 on the
hundred dollars." It might not be
the ease with individuals, but such
was the rate of taxation on the people
iu the aggregate, upon their jtersonal
and real estate.
Who Pays the taxes I
It might be claimed that the labor
ing poor paid no taxes. That was a
great mistake. Labor paid all the
taxes. [Tremendous applause.]
How was it that labor paid all the
taxes? The problem was simple. It
could be proved from tlie Scriptures:
"In the sweat of thy face shalt thou
get thy bread." It was the mandate
of Heaven, that nothing was produced
without labor. Not a particle of wealth
was created except by labor. The lit
tle poverty stricken boy of Western
Virginia, who followed tiie plow, con
tributed more to the material wealth
of the country than did the richest
boddholder who rolled in luxurious
ease. [Applause.] The grain of corn
dropped by the little boy would grow
and benetit the world, but the inau
who did nothing but live on the inter
est of his bonds added nothing to the
wealth of the country.
Suppose some ambitious young cop
perhead should take it into his mind
to be the owner of six shirts—but If
this Radical government continues
much longer, you won't be able to
make so expensive an investment.
[Applause.] This ambitious young
copperhead goes to the store and pro
poses to get eighteen yards of muslin,
for which the merchant charges four
dollars. "How is this," says young
copperhead, "I used to buy eighteen
yards of muslin for two dollars?" If
the merchant answered truthfully, he
would say, "It is true we now charge
you four dollars for the same quantity
of muslin you used to buy for two dol
lars." The reason is this : There is a
tax of three cents a pound on the raw
cotton. The manufacturer who buys
must add this to the priceof the manu
factured article. Then Uncle Sam
comes to him and says: "Dear Mr.
Shoddy, I bought shoes of you in Mas
sachusetts which lasted my soldiers
only a few days ; you sold me cloth to
make them pantaloons, which were
not whole any longer after they had
stopped to drink from the brook the
first time. I put a little tax on your
business." Mr. Shoddy puts that lit
tle tax on the manufactured goods and
charges it on the merchant. Then
comes Uncle Sam to the merchant and
says: "My dear fellow, I know you
are truly loyal (laughter and applause ;
you must pay taxes on your sales."
Or, if he is not truly loyal, so much
the more necessity that he shall pay,
and this is clapped on the price, and
when he finds young copperhead
comes to buy his six shirts he finds
three separate taxes on the goods,
which he has to pay. You see now
who has the taxes to pay. It is the la
boring man. And so he will have
these taxes to pay until the Radical
party is dead.
Judge Thurman dwelt at some length
upon the draughts made upon the peo
ple's pockets by trie government. A
national debt has been pronounced a
national blessing; but the problem had
failed to besolved satisfactorily to tho. e
who suffered the effects.
The aggregate value of the property
in this country was below what it was
in ISGU. Then the negroes were put
down at a thousand millions. Lands
can now be bought in the South at five
dollars an acre, which were before the
war worth fifty dollars per acre.
We have in this country the most
inexorable system of taxtion in the
world. It follows a man into every
nook and corner of his business. If bis
wife has made a pound of butter, it is
put down on his income list. If some
old grandmother ha# plucked the feath
ers from an aged and forlorn goose,
the feathers and the poor eld goose
must be taxed to support the govern
ment. These iuquisatoriul tax-gath
erers have raked this country from
centre to circumference to find every
particle of property that can be taxed.
TAX OFFICE SCENE.
Tax Collector—Now, Mr. Jay Cooke,
we arc ready for you, sir. Your "mon
ey# and credits" show $120,000; your
household furniture, office fixtures,
horse and buggy, and some other lit
tle things, foot up $4,575 more, Total,
$123,000. Deduct $120,000 held in 5-20
Government bonds, which are not tax
able, and the balance is $3,575. Your
State and county tax on this last a
inount Is $71.50.
Now, Mr. Bellows, I have your re
ceipt ready. Your "monies and cred
its" show $050; shop fixtures and tools,
$1,875; household furniture, fts-30; horse
and wagon, $275. Total taxable for
State and county purposes, $3,9-30. Tax
$79.
• Bellows—llow is this? Jay Cooke's
personal property amounts to $123,575
and he pays ouly $71.50 State and
county tax, while I, with less than
sl,oo<>, all told, am asked to pay $8,50
more than he.
Jay Cooke—Ah, uiy good friend,
you see my $120,000 in bonds are not
taxable. Iu the country's extremity,
with other truly loyal men, I came to
the rescue with my greenbacks. I
loaned my bleeding country, threaten
ed with destruction by rebels and cop
perheads, my moLey, and with that
gratitude which becomes a grateful
people "engaged in the interests of
God and humanity," I am exempt.—
Thus it should be with a magnanimous
christian people.
Bellows—And I, in ray country's
real extremity, had no greenbacks to
loan, but I shouldered a musket, and
gave my hotly to the cause, a leg of
which I left on the field of Shiloh, as
you see, but a "grateful people, engag
ed in the interests of God and human
ity," have no tax-exemption for me.
This may be all right, hut 1 don't see
it.
Jay Cooke—But you see, Mr. Bel
lows, mine was a voluntary act. I
could not have beencompelied to fur
nish the money. You volunteered, it
is true, but you could have been com
pelled to go.
Bellows—Yes, sir. 1 did volunteer
when mv services were needed, but
your voluntary act was after the act
was done—when you felt sure your in
vestment was safe. The policy that
exempts your hundreds of thousands
from taxation and taxes my few hun
dred# is founded on villainy, sir. You
loaned your greenbacks worth less
than six cents on the dollar, and are
now claiming dollar for dollar
in gold in payment. I risked ray life
and gave a limb to the cause, and when
I came home to my family, and
to work for their support, I am made
to pay full National, State and county
taxes on my little possessions, while
bonds, purchased with depreciated
greenbacks, are exempt.
This nice little game of "God and
humanity," superfine loyalty and pa
triotic disinterestedness, is downright
robbery, sir, and they who uphold it
are no better than thieves, sir. With
our ballots next November, we will
sink any man, or set of men, who
stand up for it, so deep that the sound
of Gabriel's trump will never reach
them. Do you mind that, Mr. Jay
Cooke? Exit disputants.
Tax Collector, solus— lt strikes this
individual very forcibly, that it ain't
all wind that blowsoutof that bellows.
SENATOR DOOMTTEK'S INDICTMENT
OF THE RADICAL DARTV.
In a single sentence Mr. Doolittle
has crowded a terrible indictment of
the Radical party. He is no Democrat,
but a Republican of the Lincoln school.
He went with his party until it struck
wildly for despotism, and then he left
it to its fate. It has no stronger antag
onist. He says, in the sentence refer
red to '•
"IP violation of the Constitution ; in
violation of the pledges made and of
ten repeated, from the first battle of
Bull Run to the end of the war; pledg
es to the North toget men and money;
pledges especially made to the Demo
cracy to get their support in the field
and in the elections; pledges made to
the South to induce them to lay down
their arms and to renew their alle
giance; and pledges to foreign pow
ers to prevent intervention—in viola
tion of all these solemn pledges, upon
which we invoked the blessings of
Almighty God upon our cause, and
by which alone we gained strength
to master the rebeelion ; in violation
of the natural and inalienable rights
of the civilized men of every State to
govern themselves, and in violation of
the clear provision of tbe Constitution,
which leaves to each State for itself the
right to regulate suffrage, this party
by expost facto laws, difranchised
hundreds of thousands of the most in
telligent of their citizens, and has for
ced upon ten Slates and six millions
of our own Anglo-Saxon race the uni
versal and unqualified suffrage of sev
en hundred thousand ignorant and, in
the main, half-civilized negroes."
Quite a large party of English
tourists have congregated at Niagara
Falls.
The tariff policy of the Radicals robs
the people of millions annually for the
benefit of rich monopolies.
VOL 64.—WHOLE No. 5.457.
cruris os SEVSOIR.
Some two or three weeks since we
published the telegrams that passed be
tween Secretary Stanton, Governor
Curtin and Gov. Seymour, at the time
the Confederate army, under Gen. las?
was invading Pennsylvania. It will
be remembered that Lincoln, Stanton
and Curtin all expressed themselves
highly grateful to Gov. Seymour for
the prompt and efficient aid rendered
to Gov. Curtin in the hour of his ex
tremity and distress. We are glad to
see that Governor Curtin still adheres
to the good opinion he then formed of
Gov. Seymour, and is manly enough
to avow his admiration of our gallant
candidate. We ask those Radicals
who are accusing Mr. Seymour of <7/.*-
loyulty, to put the following in their
pipes and smoke it:
Said a gentleman to Mr. Curtin the
other day, as they sat in the reading
room of the Union club house
in Philadelphia: "Well Governor,
what is your opinion of the Democrat
ic Convention "I think," said the
Governor, "that a stronger ticket might
have been selected, such as Hendricks
and Hancock for example." "But,"
continued the questioner, "what is
your opinion of Governor Seymour?"
Mr. Curtin replied : "Well, sir, if I
were asked to mention a man who, in
my estimation, possessed the attributes
of a perfect gentleman, a cultivated
scholar, a thorough statesman and a
sincere Christian, I could without hesi
tation name Horatio Seymour of New
York." "How about Seymour's loy
alty?" "After the dispatches that 1
sent Seymour at the time of the rebel
raid into Pennsylvania," replied the
Governor, "it would hardly become me
to impugn his loyalty; the fact is J have
never doubted it. I understand that
Belmont is having all the dispatches
sent by Stanton and myself printed,
and I have no doubt they will be in the
hands of every Democratic stump
speaker through the catnpaighn. We
had better giveupattaekingSeymour's
loyalty, for the opposition hold the
trump c-ard in that matter."
Exactly. We do hold the "trump
card in that matter," and we intend to
prove, out of the mouths of their own
witnesses, that all the mean, slander
ous, miserable charges now made by
the Radical Party against Mr. Sey
mour, are the basest fabrications that *
ever poluted the lips of the most un
conscionable liar out of pandemonium.

The official statement of the public
debt hasjust been published.
It shows an increase, during the
month of July#of Thirteen Million, Two
Hundred and fifty-eight Thousand, Five
Hundred and Ninety-three Dollars, and
; Ninety-three Cents,.
What has become of all the money
raised by taxation ?
How has it been squandered ?
To what purposes has it been ap
plied ?
The debt haseonstantly increased for
months.
Is that to continue?
Are the people to be taxed as they
now are for all time to come; and
never to see the debt reduced or paid
off?
When will we see economy practiced
by the Government ?
When will some wise financial k.vh
tern be adopted?
How long are we to endure the rule
of the set of thieves and public plun
ders who are expending all the money
wrung from the toil and sweat of the
masses, and constantly increasing the
debt ?
The people are asking themselves
these questions.
There can be but one answer to
them.
Not until the Radicals are turned
out of power will there ever be a
change.
Let the tax-ridden masses remember
that when they go to vote.
A WALKING CAR.— A man in New
York has invented and patented a de
vice for the propulsion of hand vehicles
I and vessels. The device is to make
a carriage move forward on its wheels,
turning against the carriage, and not
I against the ground, that being touched
| only by a series of feet which come to
the ground and rise from it with the
j rotation of the wheels which run on a
| sort of endless rails under the carraige
; and attached to it. The contrivance is
| believed to be applicable to farm uses
j and heavy freight, as well as to ordi
nary passenger carrying, and to be
' specially adapted to swampy and bog
gy lands, into which wheels sink readi
ly ; for the feet of this carriage, which
alone touch the ground, can bo made
as broad as necessary to avoid sinking.
It is the solemn duty of every true
lover of his country, to come out now
against the aggressions and usurpa
tions of the Radical party. Let no per
sonal or selfish considerations, no mere
party tie, hold him back. If Grant
shall succeed, the country will be ruled
by the sword and by a vindicative
Radical faction, led by Ben Butler, in
Congress. The Supreme Court will be
crushed, the Constitution utterly de
stroyed, and the liberties of the people
trampled in the dust.
Why are most good looking ladies
like inveterate topers?— Because they
are dreadfully fond of the glass.
Why is an unwelcome visitor like a
shady tree?— Because we are glad
when he leaves.
He that has a great nose thinks that
everybody is speaking of it.
Who stumbles twice over the same
stone deserves a broken shin.
He who would stop every man's
mouth must have a great deal of meal.
He who defers his charity till he is
is dead is rather libera! of another
man's than his own.
Look within, then look without.
You'll know mankind all around a
bout.
