M Jackson, Philadelphia Their introduction into this country from Ger many occurred in 1825. TJiEY CURED YOUR FATHERS AND MOTHERS, And will cure you and your children. They are entirely different from w y the many preparations now in the country cal I—l led Bitters or Tonics. They are no tavern-*- * 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, Fulines 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 rs. Heart, Cnoking or Suffocating Sensa I I tions when in a Lying Posture. Dimness o( v/ 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 imlieate diseases of the Liver or Di gestive Organs, combined with impure blood. HOOFLAND'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 s tracted from them by a scientific Chemist. I I 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 iu compounding the Bitters, hence it ia the only Bitters that can be used in cases where alcoholic stimulants are not advisable. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit ters, with pittE 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 areen 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 pdeasure to take it, while its life-giving, exhilarating, and medicinal quali ties have caused it to be knowu as the greatest of all tonics. DEBILITY. There is no medicine equal to HooflanJ's Ger man Bitters or Tonic ■-q in cases of Debility. They impart a tone M and vigor to the whole system, strengthen -1- the appetite, cause an enjoyment of the food, enable the stomach to di gest it, purify the bbjoi. 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 Tonic. In fact, they are Family Medicines. They can be administered with perfect safoty to a child three months old, the most delicate female, or a man of ninety. These remedies are the best Blood Purifiers i ever known and will cure all diseases resulting : from bad blood. Keep y >ur blood pure; keep your Liver iu order, j keep your digestive j organs in a sound, I healthy condition, by j the use of these rente 1-i dies, and no diseases : will ever assail you. The best men in the country \ recommend them. If years of honest reputation : go for anything, you must try these preparations FROM HON. GEO. W. WOODWARD, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of I'ennsylva nia. PHILADELPHIA, March 16, 1867. I find that "Hoofland's German Bitters'" is not an intoxicating beverage, but is a good tonic, use ful in disorders of the digestive organs, and of great benefit in cases of debility and want of ner vous action in the system. Yours Truly, GEO. W. WOODWARD FROM HON. JAMES TAOMPSON. Judge of the Supreme Conrt of Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA, April 28, 1866. I consider "Hooflind's German Bitters" a valua ble medicine in case . of attacks of Indiges tion or Dyspepsia. 1 \ can certify this from my experience of it Yours, with respect, JAMES THOMPSON.

It is import ant that you should have, for upon the result of the State election depends in terests that may be either a profit or loss to you for generations yet to come. This election is a turning point in the history of the country. If the people of these United States shall respond at the ensuing election in favor of the measures of the Radi cal Congress, then the institutions of our fathers will exist no longer ; then the Constitution will have become a dead letter, and we shall have an en tire change of government. Have you ever, fellow-citizens, thought of this? Do you thoroughly comprehend the importance of the questions you have to decide? Great is the responsibility that resis upon yo j—tremendous the task which has been imposed upon you. Have you, or have you not any faith in the work that your fathers accom plished? Have you any reliance up on their judgment or their patriotism ? If you have you cannot support the doctrines of the candidates of the Re publican party, for they give the lie to all your fathers said or did. We are now dealing with a party tlmt abrogates nil the ideas of the fath ers of the government, ami would sub stitute, instead of the sound doctrines which they incorporated in their creed of government, abstract and abstruse notions incomprehensible to the mass es of the people, and leading us far astray from the doctrines of the con- stitution and of free government. The Democracy Hold, as their fath ers held, that this is a white man's government, framed by white men for white men. Whatever privileges are extended to tho*c of other races are mere privileges and not rights. We hold that the Caueassian race shall govern this continent. If we choose to give to Africans, Mongolians, or any other race civil rights, to protect them in person and property, it does not, it should not follow that we are bound to extend to them ail the rights that our constitution gurantees to our own race. History has taught us that the amal gamation of races is an evil; that no government which tolerated such a thing ever prospered, but on the con trary went down rapidly to the ex treme of degradation. Having the African among us, the Democratic party are disposed to he liberal towards him, to extend to him til! the rights and privileges it can, with safety to the country. But there are interests paramount, which must he regarded, and we cannot atford, as the Radicals wish us to do, to extend to a different ami inferior race till the rights whieh belong to ourselves. The Caucasian race must and will be sovereign wherever they exist. They are the ruling raee, and, as Heaven in tended, they will rule. The African has never yet, since the first page of history was written, done a single thing to advance civilization, and the party (the Radical party) that are now trying to place him upon an equality with his superiors are the worst ene mies the country ever had. There was no such thing attempted in the days of Clay and Webster, in the days of the statesmen of our coun try ; it is only now, in the days of usurpers and demagogues whose inter ests depend upon the subversion of the government, that theequality of races, social and political, is made a doctrinal point in the polities of the country. Let those who love their country honestly and well consider to what their duty now leads them. Will they have an equality of races or will they not? This is one of the questions which they must decide on the tilth of October. A Radical editor, referring to the ac counts of tho punishment of Meade's prisoners by the "sweat-box," asks what a sweat-box is. He will know before long. We shall put the whole Radical party in one in November, and keep it sweating 'ill not a drop of fluid is left in its body, and its bones rattle with every motion it makes. TEN thousand dollars were squander ed l>y the Radicals on the impeach ment trial—a movement intended to put despotic power in the hands of such men as Butler, Ashley, and their associates. This is the way taxes are increased. WHAT IT Will. LEAD TO. Have candid, moderate men, consid ered what will be tbe consequence of a triumph of the Jacobin party in the coming election ? Men of violence, revolutionary in their spirit, intent upon carrying out impracticable theo ries, is it safe to leave the Government longer in their bauds? The country has had no moment of repose since they came into power, and every sane man must see that it Yan have none while such men rule. Should their Presidential ticket be elected, and the majority in Congress still be with them, they will claim that their poli cy, their most extreme measures, have been indorsed, and they will be more violent than ever. Should there be any one who believe that Grant would be disposed to moderation, is there any one so weak as to suppose that he could restrain them ? No, they would east him aside as they have Johnson, and as more than likely, they would have treated Lincoln, had he lived. The history of tiie French Revolu tion is lull of instruction and warning. There the moderate men, one after another, all went down before the fury of the Jacobins. So it has been in oth er countries, and will be here, until the party itself shall be put down, by the uprising of the sober-minded, order loving people, who have become tired of the violence of fanaticism, and alarmed at the prospect of intermina ble disorder and ever-increasing ex travagance and corruption. Does any man hope for repose, for stability, for order and prosperity, with the Government in the hands of such a party? It is without practical wisdom, without statesmanship, and devoted to visionary theories and im practicable schemes which as experi ments will fail, and yet will be persist ed into destructive ends, because there will lie wanting both capacity to dis cover, and candor and patriotism to adopt, measures of deliverance and safety. And while they have been making a show of reducing expenditures, for ef fect upon the Presidential election, no sooner will they receive the popular indorsement, and the further lease of power, which they are seeking, than they will come in with deficiency hills to provide for expenditures which they have well known their policy and the greed of their partisans would demand, but which have been artfully kept back till after the election. Assured of a continuance in power, the Hood gates of extravagance anil corruption will be opened, and they will find pre texts for running up the expenditures by hundreds of millions, and debt and taxation will increase to an extent that will despoil the country of prosperity, crush enterprise, paralyze ami impov erish industry, and turn the people in to sullen and hopeless bondmen to the consolidated wealth of the owners of the banks, bonds and factories, or drive them to revolution. We warn capital to beware of the fate which it is provoking. Push not the people to desperation. With the strength so take what they need, they will not long go hungry or naked. Beware of the cry of bread or blood ! Bread or Blood I It has been heard in other lands —O, with what terrible associations! Let not wealth, and monopoly, anil greed, provoke the repetition here, of what we shudder to contemplate, but which cannot be avoided, if this Jacobin par ty is still to rule over us. If, in their short-sighted selfishness and folly, the banks, the scrip-barons and the cotton lords buy the election for these oppress ors and robbers of the land, the time will come when their ill-gotten and ill used gains will perish before the wrath of the people, and freedom will he won amid scenes which it will have been the folly of the money-kings not to have averted by timely concessions, and their madness to have provoked by haughty bearing and unsparing and crushing exactions. nOXEY .VG A] \S I' J.I EE. The poor man, the workingnian, was compelled to risk, and JO thousands of instances to lose in the war, what till men hold dearer than every thing else they possess. Life itself. What was the rich man compelled to do? Nothing! Not even to give his money, though the poor man gave his life, of little as the former was in comparison to the latter. But the rich man loaned his money, if he pleased, or refused to loan it if he so pleased and did loan it only when he could exact such terms as suited his avaricious views. When heeouldeonverthisonedollarofgold in to two dollars or more of legal tenders, he made the convertion, and with his greenbacks thus obtained, went to gov ernment and exchanged them for its bonds, upon which interest was made payable semi-annually, In (fold ! By this process he made sure of re ceiving the interest in gold, on two or more, when he had only lent the equiv alent of oue dollar in gold, and what he had acetually bought with one such dollar—thus getttng from twelve to fifteen per cent, interest, in gold, on every dollar of gold which he conver ted into greenbacks to lend to the gov ernment. But this was not all. He took care It) exact the further condition that he should pay no taxes on his bonds. Nor is this all. lie now demands, that for every greenback dollar that lie lent the gov ernment, and which, when he lent it was worth only forty to fifty cents on the dollar in gold, he shall receive a gold dollar, and Grant and the Jacob in party are pledged to sustain him in this demand. Though fhe bonds provide for tho payment of the principal in lawful money, whieh greenbacks are declared to be by Jacobin law , the Jacobin Con gressional majority has attempted, at the legislation and in the interests of the bondholders to perpetrate a mon strous fraud upon the people, and rob them of six hundred millions of dollars more than the present amount of the debt, by taking up the outstanding le gal tender bonds, and issuing in lieu of them bonds expressly payable in gold, which it would take six hundred millions more of legal tenders to pay than to pay the bonds as they now stand. Now strike the balance between money \ and life ! What is paid for the poor man's life, which he was obliged, by the Feder al conscription, to sacrifice in the war? Look around among the widows and orphans of those whose lives were thus immolated upon the alter of abolition fanaticism, and, in their destitute and suffering condition, behold the eviden ces of liberality and justice of tbe Gov ernment towards those from whom it tore their bread and providers. llow does it treat the bondholders? It pays him twelve to fifteen per cent, interest on the money which he condescended to lend, during the time the loan remains outstanding, and j when it shall come to pay the princi- ; pal of the loan, the Jacobin party in sists that it shall pay him two dollars ■ in gold for every dollar that he origi- i nally lent. But more than this. The bondholder is exempted from ; taxation on his bonds, and the soldier j who came outof the war alive, and the widow and children of those who were slain, in common with all others of the working classes to which they belong, are taxed to pay these bonds, and al most the entire burden of taxation for the payment of the bonds falls upon them. Then it comes to this ! The workingmen gave their lives! The workingmen pay the taxes! The workingmen pay the bonds ! The bondholder gave nothing! The bondholders pay no taxes! The bondholders pay nothing! The soldier who received his pay and bounty, had to take them in green backs lent by the bondholder upon the bonds which he now claims shall be paid in gold. The Jacobins would now tax this same soldier, and make him pay back what he thus received for his services. Still worse ! They would make him pay it in gold, to be handed over to the land holder forthe green hacks he loaned to the government to pay this soldier for risk ing his health, his limbs, his life. Thus the pittance which the govern ment paid the soldier is taken back from him in taxes—aye, double the amount—to pay the bondholder twice the sum he lent. WORUIX'CMEN. Our forefathers come to America to better their condition. The people of the Old World applauded the act by following in their foot-steps. Thearis tocraey of the old country and the un equal taxation there in force to rob the poor man of his earnings, that an idle wealth might be kept in luxury, drove the best muscle of the country, and the pioneer hearts to America. The object was to better the condition of those who toiled. The wealth of these hardy explorers consisted in pluck, muscle, a love for their children, and the enterprise which has wrought such glorious results in this broad land. Tired of the taxation following tho domination of England, unwilling to support an aristroeraey that gloated over labor, the Declaration of Inde pendence was the conception of that liberty which came after years of blood and sult'eiing. The people wished more security for person and labor— by valiant deeds this security was won. For years we have invited people from other shores to come to our broad domain, to belter their condition. We have told the dwellers of the Rhine land, the vineland of Erin and the North, to come to America and better their condition. For years these hon est people, sweating under unjust iaws and under unequal taxation, have been coming, till the cities of the East, the plains and pi airies of the national valley, and the mines of the Pacific teem with workingmen—with the brave men— ow friends, who have call ed cities from the earth, gold from the rocks, palaces from the forests; who have tickled the bosom of the West with plough-shares till she has burst into cereal, golden smiles, and filled the homes of the land with joy. The working men of America made this country great, by produce. The work of brain, of muscle, of mind, which call on each to produce .some thing, as the workmen on the great temple each aided in its construction by performing his allotted task. In time there came a war, brought on by those who were not so much laborers as agitators and robbers of the working men. Then it was that the men who came to America to better their condition were wanted. They were called on to fight to preserve the form and spirit of government which 1 protected rich and poor alike. The workingmen, the day laborers, the plow holders, the artisans and mechan ics, left their homes to battle for the perpetuation of their liberties. To some of them bounties were off ered and accepted, for it was said to be the duty of every workingman to pro tect himself and look out for his own interest. And the workingmen of America wrought with sabre and rifle, bled, and suffered on field and in hos pital, till they saved the Union and the Government so dear to us--but the spirit of that Government was lost, or was stolen from us while brave men VOL 64.—WHOLE No. 5,463. ! fought. Amid the cries of battle the interests of the workingmen were forgotten, and the very aristocracy our working men sought to escape from, took i>os session of the legislative halls, and e reeted a temple at every door ami win dow of which is a tax-collector—a tem ple of which every brick is the body of a workingman lost to his family, hiscountry and a common prosperity forever. The working men fought, and put down therebellion, and while they were doing it, aristocrats, selfish men, and those who live by their wits more than by labor, wove them into slavery, and created a gigantic wealth, known as United States Bonds, which are simply notes held by the rich, which working meu must pay in gold at maturity, and interest in gold thereupon every six months. The legislators and speculators legis lated and tricked among themselves. The Republican legislator who had no money, signed the name of his work ing man neighbor who was lighting, to a Bond for a thousand dollars—sold it to a miser who had money but no patriotism, for four hundred dollars. Half of this money he gave the soldier —the other half he stole from him, and now when the war is over, the soldier returns to pay gold one thous and dollars, and interest thereon, for the note he signed, and on which he realized but two hundred dollars. The miser and the legislator bought and sold these notes or bonds between and among them; they made and hold them ; they collect half-yearly interest in gold on them ; they pay no taxes, for the interest supports them; the working man who fought is made to pay the interest now, and will be made to pay in time the principal in gold— paying one thousand dollars for what he received but two hundred. And all this time subject to still further legislation to rob him. Mean time, the party in power is increasing the debt at the rate of not less than two million dollars a week, making workingmen pay the interest, with no ability to pay the principal, for they are now over-taxed. The workingmen of America have been robbed, murdered deceived and forced into bondage for the support of an aristocracy exempt from taxation. It is the duty of workingmen to pro tect their earning and their Interest, and we are glad to see them banding together to do this. And if we cannot have exemption from this unjust tax ation, let us no louger consent to be thus misgoverned, but arise strike dead at our feet, the aristocrats who compel us to work while they revel. Workingmen of America—dare you strike for your rights—or will you be slaves ? CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM. Seymour and the regulation of the suffrage by the people, of the States ; Grant and Congressional enforcement of negro suffrage. Which will you have ?

Make your choice' A WORKING MAN'S OPINION.— While the Radicals of Detroit were firing a salute in ratification of the nomination of Genera! Grant, a work ingman was heard to exclaim : "Fire your guns! you can't fool me any longer. 1 voted your ticket until it takes three dollars to buy what I used to get for seventy-five cents ; and now it is about time for a change." There are thousands of workingmen in every State who feel just so. They have voted the Radical ticket for the last time. They want "a change," and they are bound to have it. No amount of claptrap about Grant's mili tary record can bind them to the fact that he is the mean dumb tool of the most desperate men in the Radical party. The workingmen won't touch him. — Digest. How CAN we trust the Radicals with a longer lease of power ? They have in creased the debt, since Ist August, IH6S, to lttth September, 1808, one month and nineteen days, FOURTEEN MIL LION EIGHT HUNDRED AND EIGHTY SEVEN THOUSAND, FIVED< JLLARS AND FIFTY-T\V() CENTS. How can you trust a party that run up a debt as rapidly as this. How long would it take at this rate to bankrupt the nation, and make repudi ation a necessity ? Recollect we own now nearly a fourth of the valuation of all the taxable prop erty in the United States. Think of this, farmers, bondholders and workingmen of theeountry. How long can we stand such an increase of debt If a negro thief happens to be caught in a Southern hen-roost, and is pun ished, or threatened, or even required to evacuate the premises without the desiderated chickens on his shoulder, all the white and black Radicals cry aloud "Insurrection and revolution are threatened! Forty thousand Ku- Kluxes are upon us ! Universal mas sacre is imminent! Call out the mili tia and the whole regular army of the country ! Sound all the trumpets and beat all the drums in the land, and make all other possible noises!"
