1825.
THEY CURED YOUR
FATHERS AND MOTHERS,
And will cure you and your children. They are
entirely different from-* y the many preparations
now in the country cal I—l led Bitters or Tonics.
They are no tavern -I Apreparatien, 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 OF THE BLOOD.
Constipation, Flatulence, Inward Piles. Fullnes
of Blood to the Head. Acidity of the Stomach,
Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food, Full
ness or Weight in the Stomach, Sour Eruc
tations, Sinking or Fluttering at the
Pit of the Stomach, Swimming of the

and Eyes, Pain in the Side, Back. Chest,
Limbs, etc., Sudden Flushes of Heat,
Burning in the Flesh. Constant Imagi
nings of Evil and Great Depression of Spirits.
All these indicate diseases of the Liver or Di
gestive Organs, combined vrith 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 virtuens are ex traded from them by
a scientific Chemist. I ft These extracts are
then forwarded to this country to be used ex
pressly for the manufacture of these Bitters.
There is no alcoholic substance of any kiml used
in compounding the Bitters, hence it is the only
Bitters that can be used in esses where alcoholic
stimulants are not advisable.
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit
ters, with pi'RE Santa Cruz Rum.Orauge, etc. It
is used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in case
where some pure alcoholic stimulus is required.
Yon 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
prepaialiuua wf medicinal extracts, while the Oth
ers are mere decoctiong of rum in some form. The
TONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant and
agreeable remedies ever offered to the publio. Its
taste is exquisite. It is a pleasure to take it, while
its life-giving, exhilarating, and medicinal quali
ties have caused it to be known as the greatest of
all tonics.
DEBILITY.
There is no medicine equal to Hoofland's Ger
man Bitters or Tonic ,in cases of Debility.
They impart a tone 1-4 and vigor to the whole
system, strengthen -ft- the appetite, cause an
enjoyment of the food, enable the stomach to di
fest it, purify the blood, give a good, sound,
ealthy 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 safety to a child three
months old, the most delicate female, or a man of
ninety.
These remedies are the best
Blood Purifiers
ever known and will cure all diseases resulting
from bad blood. Keep yjur blood pure; keep
your Liver in order, y keep your digestive
organs in a sound, I healthy condition, by
the use of these reme J—J dies, and no diseases
will ever assail you. The best men in thecountry
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 Pennsylva
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 tbe system.
Yours Truly,

FROM REV. JOSEPH H. KENNARD, D. D.,
Pastor of the Tenth Baptist Church, Philadelphia.
DR. JACKSON—DEAR SIB: —I have been fre
quently requested to connect my name with rec
ommendations of different kinds of medicines, but
regarding the piactice 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 ot Dr. Hoot
land s German Bitters, I depart for once from
ray usual course, to express my full conviction
that for general debility of the system, and es
pecially for Liver Com -jay plaint, it is a safe
and valuable preparation. In some cases
it may fail ; but usual X i ly, I doubt uot, it
will be very beneficial to those whosuffcr from the
above causes. Yours, very respectfally,

ADDKFNK OF THE DEMOCRATIC NA

SERVATIVE VOTERS OF THE
UNITED STATES.
NEW YORK, October 20.
FELLOW-CITIZENS : It is a privilege
and duty to address you on the eve of
the great battle which we are to fight,
and which is to decide whether the
Government of this Republic is to re
main four years more in the hands of
the Radical party, or whether by an
energetic, united, and last effort you
will wrest the power from its grasp,
and give to us, under a Democratic
Conservative administration, a Gov
ernment based upon principles of jus
tice, economy, and constitutional lib
erty.
The issues of the present campaign
are plain and self-evident. They ap
peal to the inteligence and patriotism
of every voter in the most unmistaka
ble terms. They have l>een ably dis
cussed by distinguished orators and
leaders of our party since the nom
ination of our candidates.
What the Democratic party intends
to do, if placed in power by your suff
rages, is to restore peace and union to
our country ; to heal the wounds and
sufferings caused by the rebellion ; to
give to the people of the South the
rights to which they are entitled un
der the Constitution, and by which a
lone we can bring back prosperity
and quiet to that distracted section ; to
reduce materially our military and
naval establishments, kept up now on
an immense scale and at an enormous
cost, to introduce in every department
of Government the strictest economy,
and to develope, by an equitable sys
tem of imposts and taxation, the grow
ing resources of our country, and thus
to place the Federal finances on a solid
and stable footing and to pave the way
to a gradual and safe return to specie
payments. We are charged by the
Radical party, the party of violence
and usurpation, which for the last four
years, to prolong its own existence,
has set at nought the Constitution and
and the fundamental principles of our
Government, that we intend revolu
tion and defiance of established laws.
The accusation is unfounded and ab
surd ; it cannot lie entertained for a mo
ment by any intelligent voter, who
has even the most superficial knowl
edge of the history of his country.—
The Democratic party can proudly
point to every page of its record. It
has never violated a single obligation
ofthe fundamental compact by which
these United States entered into the
family of nations. Its watchword, in
peace as in war, has been and will al
ways be the Union, the Constitution,
and the Laws. And no man nor any
set of men, however high they might
lie placed by the suffrages of their fel
low-citizens. can everexpect to receive
the support of this great Conservative
party in any revolutionary attempt
against established laws. The ballot
box and the supreme will of the A
merican people are the only means of
redress to which we look.
Fellow Democrats! You are fighting
for a good-and righteous cause. You
have for your leader a tried statesman;
a patriot who stood by the Union in
its darkest hour; a man equally be
loved for the purity of his private
character as honored for his public vir
tues.
Opposed to you are the men who
have subverted the structure of our
system of representative self-govern
ment, vindicated to the world by more
than half a century of prosperity and
greatness; the men who have increased
our enormous debt by profligacy and
corruption unparalleled; tbe men
who in two successive Congresses have
demonstrated their incompetency to
diminish our burdens by economy or
apportion them with equity ; the men
who have so distributed our burdens
so as that they press with excessive
weight upon the labor and industry
of the country, marking rich men
richer by making poor men poorer.
Opposed to you are the men who
have denied for three years of peace,
and will continue to deny nntil your
votes arrest them, self-government to
the people of ten States ; the men who
have taken away the power of our
Chief Magistrate to insure a faithful
execution of the laws, or to command
the army and the navy of the United
States; the men who did their worst
to expel the President from the White
House for obeying faithfully the be
hests of your supreme law; the men
who, being conscious of their crimes,
dreaded to have the Supreme Court de
clare their quality, and therefore a-
bridged its jurisdiction and silenced
its voice; the men who have usurped
and are grasping and wielding powers
not possessed to-day by any monarch
among civilized nations.
Against these men and all their de
spotic purposes, which General Grant
would be as powerless to hinder as lie
whom they elected four years ago has
been ; against these men, their crimes
in the past, their fast aceomplishingde
sigus in the future, you are soon to
make one final and determined on
slaught.
Four years ago we failed to expel
them from power, though we predicted
then, as we now predict, their incom
petency to give to the people peace;
declaring then, as we now declare, the
revolutionary purposes of their most
active leaders, who rule their party,
as they would rule thecountry, with a
despotic sway. But these four years
havejustified our warning. Our worst
predictions then are their enactments
now. What we feared they have done.
The revolution has made steady pro
gress. Once more we call every pa
triot to join our ranks.
If the people will now rise in their
majesty and might, they can save their
institutions, and rebuild them. If they
are supine and regardless of their sac
red interests, so much in the last four
years has been accomplished, and so
much in the next four years may easi
ly be accomplished, no obstacle then
remaining, that the Revolution will
become a fixed fact, the structure of our
government will have been completely
remodelled. It may be a government;
still, it will no longer be your Represen
tative Self-government.
For this final struggle then fellow-
Democrats of the United States, let us
invigorate every muscle and nerve ev
ery heart. The time is short. The
foe is stubborn and desperate, for our
victory woulu be the death blow to the
Republican party. It could have been
held togother by no other nomination.
It cannot survive your successful as
sault. One victory is enough. Your
triumph in November will finally re
establish the Union and the Constitu
tion for another generation of men ;
it will restore peace and good order to
the South, prosperity to the North,
and a wise and frugal rule to both. The
great prize is worthy your most stren
uous endeavor.
Our ranks are unbroken ; our courage
is unabated. Once more to the breach,
and this time Victory !
For the Democratic National Com
mittee.
AUGUST BELMONT, Chairman.
IMPEACHMENT OF THE KADICAI.
PARTY,
Behold their Guilt !
We give below, from the Boston Cou
rier, an enumeration of specific high
crimes and misdemeanors, of which the
Radical party, through its leaders and
agents in Congress, stands arraigned be
fore the bar of the country. It will be
seen that the different counts embrace
every act subversive of the principles
of civil liberty, and equally derogatory
to the rights of the people:
I. It has set aside the Constitution of
the United States, the basis, pledgeand
security for Republioan freedom.
11. It has practically abrogated State
governments in the ten Southern States
ranging them in military districts, and
placing over those districts military
commanders.
111. It ha;-deprived every white man
of his vote who would not aid in the
Radical plan of "reconstruction."
IV. It has bestowed the power of
suffrage upon every negro disposed to
lend himself to that purpose.
V. It has substituted military com
missions for the civil tribunals.
VI. It has thus taken away the con
stitutional right of trial by jury.
VII. It has deprived the people of
the sacred right of the writ of habeas
corpus.
VIII. It has prohibited free speech.
IX. It has broken and silenced a free
press.
X. It has inflicted "cruel and unusu
al punishments"
XI. It has violated the right of the
people "to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers and effects against unrea
sonable searches and seizures."
XII. It has deprived the Executive
of his constitutional, just and necessary
powers, by means of which it was in
tended by the trainers of the Constitu
tion that this "co-ordinate branch of
the government" should help to main
tain a due balance of authority, for the
common safety and welfare.
XI 11. It has overawed that other co
ordinate branch of the government, the
Judiciary, which was also intended to
help maintain a due balaticeof author
ity, for the common safety and welfare
—by unconstitutional and threatening
legislation, so as to intimidate the Su
preme Judicial tribunal and thus .to pre
vent the declaration of a judgment rea
dy to be pronounced, from which would
have flowed the necessary legal conse
quences, that the whole series of recon
struction acts was "unconstitutional,
revolutionary and utterly void."
XIV. It has required of the Southern
States taxation without allowing them
representation.
XV. It denies the right of voting at
the coming election, to three of those
States, for non-compliance with its un
constitutional, unjust and arbitrary de
mands.
XVI. In order to maintain this mon
strous and iniquitous system of legis
lation, it has been compelled to keep
up the public debt, instead of taking
steady economical means for ite reduc
tion and gradual extinction ; and, for a
period of peace almost as long as that
of the war, has ground down the peo
ple by an ever increasing burden of ex
tortionate taxation—the expenses of
the government in this fourth year af
ter the war, being more than six times
as much as in the year before the war
began,
Finally, apprehending that their
scheme of "reconstruction" which
meant always subjugation of the South
to uphold Radical supremacy in the
North, the agents of which were the
military force, the freedmen's bureau
and the "carpet-baggers," paidforthese
services out of the pockets of the peo
ple, had failed to cajole the majority of
the uegroes to its support—a bill was
introduced into Congress, at its last
session, provided for a large supply of
arms to the blacks in the Southern
States by which the armed minority
might regulate the franchise of the
white and black majority in the Radi
cal interest. What dreadful scenes
must have ensued, had this bill pass
ed through a conflict of races, speedily
involving the whole country in a civil
war far more tremendous and horrible
than the sectional war iu which we
have been engaged—the humane, the
prudent and the patriotic would wish
to banish from the imagination.
Such is, in part, the amply sufficient
foundation for the arraignment of the
Radical party. Every specification is
a solid, indisputable fact. Of these
"high crimes and misdemeanors,"
clearly subversive of the very princi
ples of civil liberty, it is manifestly
guilty. Upon such a specification no
jury in Christendom would hesitate to
pronounce sentence. %

ST. LOUIS, MO., October 16.—Gener
al Blair was serenaded to-night at his
residence. The Democratic clubs, with
torches, banners and music, were pres
ent, and a large crowd filled thestreets.
After referring briefly to local mat
ters, Gen. Blair said:
GENERAL BLAIR'S SPEECH.
I am the candidate of the Democratic
party for a very distinguished posi
tion. I expect to be a candidate so
long as they desire it; so long as I can
avail to help the great cause which we
all have at heart. My fellow-citizens,
it will be no sacrifice to me, or rather
it will be a work of pleasure to me, to
surrender that position, whenever by
so doing I can add one vote to the
strength of the Democracy in this
State or in any other of the States. I
am ready to make any sacrifice, and so
am I ready to go and do anything ; to
take upon my shoulders any burden,
or lay down any that may have been
conferred on me heretofore.
And this brings me to allude to that
rumor in our midst to-day.
[A voice—That's what we want.]
It has been said here that both the
candidates for the Presidency and for
the Vice Presidency have signified
their intention to decline in favor of
some other candidates. All I nave to
say is, that both candidates will always
be ready to lay down their candidacy
when it can no longer be of service to
the Democratic party of the country.
[Cheers.] If it should be thought
now, —if it should be believed that by
so doing we could add to the strength
of the Democratic party, and give it
better chances of victory. [A voice—
"We want no Chase;" other voices,
"No, no." That is for you to say.
[Voices—"Well done," and cries of
"Hurrah for Blair."] 1 want you to
review it calmly, and without regard
to the feelings of any man ; because
the feelings of individuals are nothing
as compared with the great objects we
have in view—of success and the res
toration of our country. I do not in
tend to abandon the field, in one sense
at least. I mean to bear my share of
the battle; whether in the ranks or as
an officer will depend on the wishes of
the Democratic party.
Gen Blair then thanked the crowd
and bade them good night.
In the opening part of his speech, the
General announced that he was neither
dismayed, terrified, iior discouraged,
at the result of the recent election,
which announcement • was received
with cheers.
THE RANK AND FILE.
The masses of the Democratic party
in Pennsylvania, the rank and file, the
great body of the party, the three hun
dred and twenty thousand firm and
true men who voted for Boyle and
Ent, are still in line. Nowhere can a
straggler he seen. None have gone
over to the enemy. All are true. Ev
ery man of them is more determined
to stand by the graudold party of their
choice than ever they were before.
They feel proud of what they have ac
complished. They know that the
meagre majority which the Radicals
have secured was not honestly won.
They feel assuied that they can carry
the good old Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania in any fair contest. And they
are ready to renew the struggle on the
third uay of November. The devotion
ofthe masses to the Democratic party
is no weak attachment. They adhere
to it with tenacity, because they recog
nize in it the defender of their rights
and the protector of their interests.
Their love for it is a sentiment as
strong as the faith of the devotee in
his religious belief.—They recognized
it as the party of the people; tbe de
fender of the masses against the en
croachments of unconstitutional and
arbitrary power; the protection of the
laborer against grasping and oppres
sive monopolies; the champion of poor
against privileged classes. The Demo
cratic party has always been ready to
do vigorous battle for every right of
each individual citizen, no matter who
the assailant might be, or what his
strength. It has thus endeared itself
to the people, and they will not cease
their exertions until it is enthroned in
power, and enabled to give to the mass
es all the rights and blessings which
they enjoyed in the happy and peace
ful past. — Lancaster Intelligencer.

OIK DUTY.
In the hour of adversity, the patriot
who is devoted to principles which he
feels is right and just, never falters, but
with renewed energy again hotly enga
ges in the conflict with wrong. He
battles not for office or spoils, but for the
rightful administration of Government
and the perpetuation of free institutions,
Higher than all merely personal con
siderations does he esteem his country,
and on the alter of patriotism he
unhesitatingly sacrifices self. Of
such men is the Democratic party com
posed, and for such there can be no
lasting defeat. They may meet with
temporary reverses, but it is only the
coward and the faint-hearted who are
not inspired by them to still more vig
orous and persistent effort. Let us then
close upour ranks and with unflinching
determination prepare to renew our at
tack upon the enemies of the reserved
rights of the States and of the rights of
a free jieople.
The laboring men of the Nation
are with us. The men who left their
homes in foreign lands to enjoy the
blessings of Constitutional government,
are with us. The ablest and most pa
triotic men, who have heretofore acted
with our opponents, are with us. We
can, if we will, gain a victory next
month in Pennsylvania. But how?
We answer by simply performing
our duty; which is to poll every Dem
ocratic vote in the State at the ap
proaching Presidential election, and to
be like true men, superior to all the
bribes, threats or short-lived successes
of our corrupt, unscrupulous and revo
lutionary Itadieal opponents.— York
Gazette.
A SCENE IN COURT.— An individu
al possessing unmistakable evidences of
African extraction was arraigned for
larceny. The judge, as of right, was
dignified, but with severe presence,
"Are you guilty or not?" he inquired.
"Sar." Did you steal these clothes?"
he inquired. "Golly, boss 'clar I nev
er done it." "This man says you did."
"He ain't nothin' but white trash."
"And what are you?" "Me! Why
don't you know me. I rid with you
in de procession. I helped to tote you
home when you got tired dat night—
don't yer 'member me now?" There
was the "suddenest" nol pros, in that
darkey's case thatjudicial annals afford
an example of. So much for the ad
vantages of good society.— New Orleans
Picayune, October 13.
A GOOD ONE.— As tho Grant Legion
were parading the other night In Mount
Holly, a sweetheart of one of them
threw a soft tomato out of the window
at her "lovyer," as he was passing her
domicile, it struck the youth in the
mouth—he imagined himself the vic
tim of Ku Klux malevolence. He
threw himself into the arms of a com
rade, exclaiming; "Kiss me for my
mother." "Oh, tell mother that I
perished for what I thought was right—
comrades avenge my death." It was
a long time before he could be unde
ceived, and for the same period it threw
the gailant ranks into inextricable con
fusion.
Two Sucker girls, driving in a bugr
gv On a plank road, were stopped and
asked for toll. "How much is it?"
"For a man and a horse" replied the
gate-keeper, "the charge is fifty cents."
"Well, then, get out of the way, for we
are two gals and a mare. Get up,
Jenny !" And away they went, leav
ing the man in mute astonishment.
RADICAL BILL OF FAKE.— The fol
lowing is the bill of fare of the banquet

No taxes for the Rich.

WAYNE McVeigh, said in his speech,
at the Radical meeting in Concert
Hall, Philadelphia, a few nights since:
I think that I see the mailed hand
of General Grant on the sth of March
clutching the .Southern ruffians by the
throat and crushing the life out of
them. "Let us have peace."
A certain cockney, overcome by his
sensibilities, fainted at the grave of his
fourth spouse. "What shall we do

of his. "Let him alone," said a wag
gish bystander, "he'll soon re-wive."
