The greatest known remedies for

JAUNDICE,
Diseases of the Kidneys,
ERUPTIONS OF THE SKIN,
and all Diseases arising from a Disordered Liver,

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

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

PHILADELPHIA, March 16, 1867.
I find that "Hoofland's German Bitters'" is not

TO THE PEOPLE OF PEJiXNVI.VASIA.
There is but one week between this
and the election. Have you made up
your minds how to vote? 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

! 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 ?

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!"
