THE SPKIXfi EI.EITIOXS.
Democrats are reminded of the im
portance of attending the Spring elec
tions, so that had men may be kept
out of the boards of election officers
and the asaeasorships, which are potent
machines in the hands of unscrupulous
politicians. The coming campaign
will be one of unusual interest, as a
Governor, Supreme Judge, and other
important officers are to be chosen.
If the Democracy are to regain pow
er, they must organize success. We
roust begin at the beginning. We
must first win the fight for our local
tickets, then for the State ticket, and
then a national triumph will be easily
secured. T*l this commencement be
made now. Let Democrats renew and
reinvigorate their organization. Let
none but the best men be nominated
for office. Put forward the active, the
zealous, the vigorous, as your standard
bearers. lie ward the faithful and
worthy. And then, with good men
and true in the lead, call ujxin the peo
ple to follow.
The Spring elections will take place
MARCH TIIE 19TII. On This day
the radicals of this county will, also,
hold their nominating election. By
this trick they hope to get out their entire
vote and thus to catch the Democrats
napping. We say to our friends, Be
on your guard ! Turn out to the elec
tion, and do not permit the enemy to
steal a march upon you.
CHEATED AT LAST.
There can be no doubt that many
persons voted for U. S. Grant, because
they believed him moderate and con
servative, never dreaming that he
would endorse so infamous a proposi
tioa as the Negro Amendment. He
stood upon tbeChicagoplatform, which
assured the people that in "all the loj*-
al States" the question of suffrage
should be left to the control of the peo
ple. Hence it was fondly imagined by
the credulous fools who could see noth
ing but Grant's shouhler-straps, that
no attempt would be made by him to
force Negro Suffrage upon those States.
But they have been suddenly and rude
ly undeceived. Grant, in his Inaugural
Address, recoramemls the ratification
of the Negro Amendment, which not
merely confers suffrage upon the blacks,
but lakes away from the people the right
to regulate and control the sujf rage ques
tion for themselves.
"Cheated at last!" was the exclama
tion of a Republican friend of ours, on
reading Grant's Inaugural. Many and
many a time had he insisted upon
Grant's honesty ami conservatism.
Many and many a time had he stoutly
asseverated that the charge that if
Grant were elected, Negro Suffrage
would be forced upon the country, was
only "a copperhead lie!" Many and
many a time had he pledget! his honor
to his Democratic friends to leave the
Radical party and join hands with the
Democracy, whenever the former
would make a voter of the negro. That
time came suddenly on the fourth of
March. And now headmita that he has
been cheated, and like an honest man,
with his eyes open, he intends hereafter
to vote the Democratic ticket and be
cheated no more.
THE CARIXET.
General Grant lias appointed the fol
lowing persons members of his cabinet.
Their names were sent to the Senate
on Friday last, and they were im
mediately confirmed:
Secretary of State—Kiihu B. Wash
burne, of Illinois.
Secretary of the Treasury—Alex. T.
Stewart, of New York.
Secretary of the Navy—Adolph h.
Borie, of Philadelphia.
Secretary of the Interior—J. 1). Cox,
of Ohio.
Postmaster General —John A. J.
Cressvvell, of Baltimore.
Attorney General—E. B. Hoar, of
Massachusetts.
General Schofiehi, Secretary of \\ ar
in the cabinet of President Johnson, re
tains his position.
This announcement will fill the
country with astonishment. There is
not a member of this cabinet who has
ever given any sign of ability* or states
manship, except Sehofleld. The inex
perience and mediocrity of Grant are
unrelieved by these oddly-assorted ad
visers, with whom he has surrounded
himself. Had the names been promul
gated one mouth ago, they would have
sunk beneath the contemptuous criti
cism of the independent portion of the
radical press, and Grant would have
been comj>eHed in deference to the
clamors of his party to change his pro
gramme. It was dread of this, per
haps, that led him to keep the names
of his cabinet ministers a profound
secret to the last hour.
WHO lied, last fall, when it was as
serted by the Democrats and denied by
the depublieans, that if Grant were
elected, Negro Suffrage would be forced
upon the people without their consent ?
Grant's Inaugural proves that the
Democrats lold the truth. Nov, where
is the honest Republican that can long
er act with that dishonest and deceit
ful party ?
t:\TEi: Ki.Tr:
We publish the Inaugural Address
of President Grant in another column
of this issue.
It contains nothing new or startling.
It gives the people no light upon the
great questions of the day. It merely
i expresses promises, hope and wishes.
It assures us that the new President
will have a policy on ail subjects. It
indicates, moreover, what such policy
will be on some subjects.
It informs us that "every dollar of
the public debt must be paid in gold,
unless otherwise expressly stipulated
in the contract," But it does not tell
us when the debt is to be paid, nor
where and how the gold is to be obtain
ed to pay it.
It furnishes the people a new plan
to get rid of bad laws, to wit: "The
stringent execution of such laws."—
Hence Grant will execute the Recon
struction Acts with the greatest possi
ble vigor, so that they may be repeal
ed at an early day. He will also
rigidly enforce the Tenure-of-Officelaw
for a similar reason.
It assures us that Providence "has
bestowed upon us a strong box,"
which is to get us out of a bad box,
provided we can only forge the key
to it.
It gives us to know that the young
men "have a peculiar interest in main
taining the national honor," an impor
tant fact which only U. S. Grant is
presumed to have known prior to the
delivery of his inaugural.
It endorses Xegro Suffrage, repudi
ates the Chicago platform upon which
its author was elected, and insults the
people who voted for Graut and Col-
fax upon the express understanding
that the question of suffrage in "the
loyal States" was always to be left to
the control of (he people of those
States. In this particular it proves
Grant to be a demagogue, a double-deal
ing trickster and a base and cringing
coward. lie does not approve Negro
Suffrage. He is well aware that the
people know that he does not approve
it. He does not say, in so many words,
that he favors the ratification of the j
XVth amendment because it is in
trinsically right. He only ventures to
suggest that the amendment should be
ratified in order to settle the suffrage
question ! That is, adopt a vexatious j
proposition, no matter if it be never so
wrong, in order to get rid of it I Here
is Grant-ism for you! The greatest
scoundrel and the veriest ass in the
land could treat any troublesome ques- j
tion just as honestly and intelligently.
If this is all that was wrapt up in
the solemn and portentous silence of
U. S. Grant, he might have opened ,
his mouth loDg ago, without any dan- j
ger of doing much harm or much good
to anybody. As for ourselves, we are
not disappointed. We never did have !
a very exalted opinion of Ulysses. As
a general he was a miserable failure,
except when preponderance of num
bers gave him overwhelming advan
tage. As a candidate for office, he suc
ceeded only through a gigantic fraud,
which excluded half a million of white
voters from the polls, enfranchised the
ignorant and degraded ex-slaves of the
South, and shut out three sovereign
States from all participation in the
election. The very fact that he accepts
an office obtained in this manner,
proves him a creature who lacks the
high and noble qualities of a true,
chivalrous and honest man. Ihe
trifling majority which elected him
was made up of hero-worshipers and
other fools. These still admire him,
for the tinsel and brass are not quite
rubbed off bis coat. A little while
longer, and the gloss and glitter will
i be stripped from his name, and the
very men who are ready to-day to fall
down and worship him, will discard
him and deny that they ever knew
him. Farewell, poor Grant! Aou
are President now!
■— mmm
CiOOD !
The radicals in the Indiana legisla
ture undertaking to force the suffrage
amendment through that body, the
: democratic members of both Houses at
once resigned! This action of the dem
-1 ocrats leaves the legislature without a
! quorum and defeats action upon the
amendment. This will probably kill
it. The democrats of the Indiana legr
islature are made of the right kind of
! material.
GRANT'S GIFT ENTKKPKISE.—NO
gift enterprise in the country has ever
paid as well as that of Grant. Stewart
may he put down as one of the luckiest
dealers who have ever invested in fancy
stocks, ile put in a share of a house
and lot, and drew the whole Treasury.
iJorie headed a similar subscription,
and drew the office of Secretary of the
Navy. Wash burns for three years
toadying has l>een made Secretary of
State. This beats Perham and the
Crosby Opera House lottery all to
smash.
GRANT'S inaugural recommend* the
repeal of the Constitution of Pennsyl
vania which provides that only white
men shall exercise the right of suffrage.
And tliis repeal is not lo be made by
the people, but by the present misc;u
bie, rotten Legislature, elected with.-
out reference to any such question.

THE ( I BTAIS RISES.
The long agony is over. The new
cabinet is announced.
The quiet mountain so long in labor,
amid much smoke, has brought forth a
litter of ridiculous mice.
Shades of Welister and Marey and
Cass, what a cabinet I
E. B. WASHBUBXE, the refinement
of stupidity, the butt of Donnelly, the
laughing-stock of the whole country,
Secretary of State!
A. T. STEWAKT, a New York haber
dasher, who knows as much about the
department of finance as a lap-dog does
about the trail of a fox, Secretary of
I the Treasury!
AIJOI.PH E. BOBlE,— who in the
name of all the jack tars that ever reef
ed a sail is he ?—Secretary of the Na
vy.
J. A. J. CHESS WELL, a Maryland
politician, who made a secession speech
in 1861, and afterwards purchased re
cognition from the radicals by swal
lowing his own vomit, Postmaster
General!
J. D. Cax. Ex-Governor of Ohio, not
a bad sort of a man, but whose intel
lectual brilliancy will never set the Po
tomac afire, Secretary of the Interior!
E. B. UOAHE, of Massachusetts, an
eminent mediocrity, Attorney General!
Well!
We cannot do justice to the subject.
Will not Col. M'Clure lend us a few ad
jectives? We shall have to wait till we
can borrow some expletives from our
radical friends. Meanwhile we are of
theopinion that this cabinet is bound to
sink Mr. Grant's ship, with its whole
radical crew. The Great Eastern would
go to the bottom with such a load as
Washburne, Stewart, Borie, and Cress
well on board. Ulysses is in deep water,
with rocks and shoals in his course,
the wind veering round to blow right
in his teeth, and with pilots totally ig
norant and utterly regardless of that
chart by which alone the ship of state
can be steered in safety, the Federal
Constitution. No wonder he asks "the
prayers of the nation !"
GOLD for the Bond-holders, is Grant's
doctrine. The public debt must be
paid in gold. Well, if Mr. Grant can
find the bullion to do it with, we have
no objection, surely. But there is
scarcely so great a fool outside of the
lunatic asylum as thinks that specie
enough can be obtained by the gov
ernment in a hundred years to pay off
the debt. Meanwhile, the Bond-hold
er gets his gold, hut the rest of man
kind must put up with greenbacks,
and a limited quantity ot those.
THE United States Senate, just at
the close of the Fortieth Congress, con
firmed John P. O'Neill, Esq., of Phila
delphia, as United States District At
torney for the Eastern District of Penn
sylvania. We know Mr. O'Neill to be
a gentleman of culture, an able lawyer
and a first rate democrat. President
Johnson did himself credit and the
country a service in the appointment
of Mr. O'Neill.
REPUBLICAN'S OF BEDFORD COUN
TY ! —What think you of your Presi
dent now ? His very first act was to
trample under foot your platform of
last fall, by recommending the adop
tion of Negro Suffrage by the Legisla
ture without referring the question 'o
the people. That is honesty for you !
Vive L'Emperuer ! Grant "hopes
the people of the States wili surrender
their right to control the question of
suffrage to the Federal Government.
Nothing would please His Imperial
Majesty better. Suffrage in the hands
of the people never did suit military
despots.
POOK GRANT ! He is a doomed man !
Better for him that he had quietly
gone back to the Galena tan-vat than
to have undertaken to swim the polit
ical Hellespont with the everlasting
negro upon his back.
FACE THE MUSIC !—The radical Con
gress and the radical President Grant
have declared for Negro Suffrage. The
sneaks in Pennsylvania will have to
face the music on this question at last,
WE always knew that Grant would
get himself into a box when lie became
President, but we did not think hint
awkward enough to put his finrt in it
on the day of his inauguration.
GRANT has the audacity to "hope"
and "wish" for the ratification of the
Negro Suffrage amendment. What
business is it of his whether the peo
ple ratify it or not ?
THE radicals now have the President
aud both houses of Congress. Let
them quit howling about the democ
racy, who are out of power, and attend
to their own business.
The returns of the spring elections
in all parts of the State of New York
continue very favorable to the demo
crats. They have gained everywhere.
THE growls of the disappointed fac
tions in tkc radical party are loud and
deep. Grant is 110 it*3£er. in their
eyes, the "savior of the nation."
Obajt is after Uncle Sam's "strong
box." Before he gets it he will go in
to oue of a different sort*

MERCANTILE LIBRARY.
We received recently a draft of the new
Mercantile Library building; and as
we are a member of that institution,
feel some interest in it. It contributes
very materially to our improvement
and pleasure. Wecan while away many
hours among the mighty dead who yet
speak from those silent shelves and
open new fountains of thought and
feeling. A publie library is a public
blessing. Among the pleasing features
there is the social, as well as intellectu
al and literary. Thousands of ladies
and gentlemen every week visit this
place—idle in easy chairs, read every
thing from a ponderous tome to a daily
paper, or pass the time in the chess
room, if they admire the game and
each other. But you must not forget
that we are governed by law ! And a
law that takes so well: for no one is
permitted to speak aloud—that is, you
must whisper ; and don't you see what
a charm there is in that? Words
sound sweeter and carry a different
feeling with them when they glide in
to the ear in soft, low syllables. Gr
they used to when we were young.
But I was going to tell you that we
were having a new building on Tenth
above Chestnut, and expect to get into
it by summer. The main room will be
the largest in the city, and the whole
building taken entire in all its various
apartments and improvements will be
the best of the kind in this country.
It will cost about a quarter of a million.
ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES.
After a pleasant chat, on Tuesday, with
our friend J. It. of Bedford, at the
Bingham, we hastened to fulfil an en
gagement for 1 P. M. In company
with Messrs. G. and McC., ofyour place,
we took a stroll through the Museum
at the Medical Department of the Uni
versity of Pa. It is a very fine one,
and these young gentlemen enjoyed
it very much ; hut as I had some re
gard for my appetite in anticipation of
dinner at 5, I proposed getting out of
that place as soon as convenient. Medi
cal Museums are bad on appetites—ex
cept to Medical .Students—and are
more instructive to the head than a
greeable to the other department. In
consideration thereof we got out, hav
ing "done" that Institution in an hour,
and wended our way to the Academy
of Natural Sciences on Broad below
Chestnut. A collection like that de
rerves a finer and larger building.
Such a move, we understand, is now
contemplated. The average numlier
of visitors daily is about five hundred.
Well, there are no savtnts in this coun
try or Europe could successfully vie
with us in "doing" a Scientific institu
tion, for by 4 r. M. we had rummaged
the whoie thing from toe to top, five
stories in all, and didn't half try. We
put through the snakes, birds, animals,
skeletons, etc., in double quick, calling
it a "cursory view," and exj>ecting to
take more time when we had it to
spare. But it is a wonderful place and
would richly rr>py a long visit. We
concluded that any man who visits and
studies what is collected in that build
ing, and can come away and say there
is no God, is, as the Psalmist says, a
fool! We cannot leave, however,
wit hout speaking of one thing which
interests us exceedingly, and that is
THE HADROSAOROS
or great herbivorous lizard, the skele
ton of which was found in a bed of
marl in Camden eo., N. J., in 185*. It
belongs to a remote age of the world,
known to Geologists as the Cretaceous
period. The skeleton, which however
is not entire, measures 26 feet in length
and stands on its hinder extremities
and tail 16 feet high. It is supposed to
have been amphibious, and to have
browsed on trees for which its peculiar
structure seems to have been adapted,
its hinder extremities greatly exceed
ing in size the fore limbs; and the po
sition necessarily to IK? assumed ap
pearing to be that of the Kangaroo. It
corresponds in length with the whale
taken some time ago from the Dela
ware, the skeleton of which is also
there. How would you get a reptile
like that in St. Patrick's box ? On our
way back, we dropped Into an Art Gal
lery on Chestnut street for a short
time, and enjoyed some charming pic
tures, after which we took scats and
enjoyed, before parting, a nice little
gossip as tne men only know how to
get up—on short notice. .Our sheet is
full and our pen empty. Entirely, Ac.,

IV LL(II KAE ADDRESS OF PRESI
DENT OKA NT,
WASHINGTON, March, 4.
The following is the inaugural ad
dress of General Grant :
Citizens of the United .States : Your suf
frage having elevated uie to the oltiee
of President of the United States, I
have in conformity with the constitu
tion of our country, taken the oath of
office prescribed therein. I have taken
this oath without mental reservation
and with the determination to do to the
best of my ability al! that it requires
of me. The responsibilities of the po
sition 1 feel, but accept them without
fear. The office has come to me un
sought. 1 commence its duties uu
tmmmeled. 1 bring to it a conscien
tious desire and determination to fill it
to the best of my ability and to thesat
isfaction of the people on all lead
ing questions agitating the public
mind, i will al way sex press my views
to Congress and urge them according
to ray judgment, and when I think it
advisable will exercise the. constitu
tional privilege of interposing a veto
to defeat its measures which J. oppose,
but all laws will be faithfully execu
ted, whether they meet my approval
or not. I shall on all subjects have a
policy to recommend, but none to en
force against the will of the people.
Laws are to govern ad alike—those
opposed to as well as those who favor
them. I know no method to secure
the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so
effectively as their striugont execution.
The country having just emerged from
a great rebellion, many questions will
come up before it for settlement in the
next four years which preceding ad
ministrations have never had to deal
with. In meeting these, it is desirable
that they should lie approached calm
ly, without predjudice, hate or section
al pride, remembering that the great
est good to the greatest number is the
object 'to b attained. TnU .quires se
curity of persou, property and religious
and political opinion in every part of
our cvuiiiiyu country, without regard
to local predjudices. All laws to se
cure these ends will receive niv best ef
forts to secure enforcement.
A great debt has been contracted in
securing to us and our posterity the
i Union. The payment of this debt,
principal and interest, as well as the
return to a specie basis as soon as it
can be accomplished without national
detriment to the debtor class of the
country at large, must be provided for.
To protect the national honor every
dollar of Government indebtedness
i should be paid in gold unless other
wise expressly stipulated in the con
tract. it be understood that no re
pudiator of one farthing of our public
debt will be trusted in a public place,
and it will go far towards strengthen
ing a credit which ought to be the best
in the world, and will ultimately ena
ble us to replace the debt with bond
bearing less interest than we now pay.
To this should be added a faithful col
lection of the revenue, a strict accoun
tability to the Treasury for every dol
lar collected and the greatest practica
ble retrenchment in expenditure in ev
ery department of the government.
When we compare the paying capaci
ty of the country now, with ten States
still in poverty, from theeffectsof war,
but soon to emerge, i trust, in
to greater prosperity than ever before,
with its paying capacity twenty-five
years ago, and calculate what it proba
bly will be twenty-five years hence,
who can doubt the feasibility of pay
ing every dollar then with more ease
than we now pay for useless luxuries.
Why, it looks as though Providence
had bestowed upon us a strong box.
The precious metals locket! up in the
sterile mountains of the far west, which
we are now forging the key to unlock,
meet the very contingency that is now
before us. Ultimately it may be ne
cessary to increase the facilities to
reach these riches, and it may be ne
cessary also that the general gov
ernment should give its aid to secure
this access, but that should only he
when a dollar of obligation to pay se
cures precisely the same sort of dollar
to use now, and not before. Whilst
the question of specie payments is in
abeyance the prudent businessman in
careful ai>out contracting debts payable
in the distant future. The nation
should follow the same rule. A pros
trate commerce is to he rebuilt and all
industries encouraged. The young
men of the country—those who* from
their age must be its rulers twenty-five
years hence —have a peculiar interest
in maintaining the national honor. A
moments reflection as to what will be
our commanding influence among
the nations of the earth, in this day, if
they are only true to themselves,
should inspire them with national
pride. Ail divisions, geographical, po
litical and religious, can join in this
common sentiment. How the public
debt is to be paid or specie payments
resumed is not so important as that a
plan should la? adopted and acquired.
In a united determination to do is
worth more than divided councils up
on the method of doing. Legislation
upon this may not be necessary now,
even advisable, but it will be when the
civil law is more fully restored in aii
parts of the country, and trade resumes
its wonted channels. It will be my
endeavor to execute laws in good
faith ; to collect revenues assessed and
to have them properly accounted for
and economically disbursed. I will,to
the best of my ability, appoint to of
fices those only who will carry out this
design.
In regard to foreign policy I would
deal with nations as equitable law re
quires individuals to deal with each
other, and I would protect the law a
biding citizen whether a native or of
foreign birth, wherever his rights are
jeopardizes or tueuag ur w ui
floats. I would respect the rights of
our own. If others depart from this
rule in their dealings with us, we may
be compelled to follow their precedent.
The proper treatment of the original
occupant of this land, the Indian, is
one deserving of careful study. I will
favor any course towards them which
tends to their civilization, christianiza
tion and ultimate citizenship.
The question of suffrage is one which
is likely to agitate the public so long as
u portion of the citizens of the nation
are excluded from its privileges in any
way. It seems to me very desirable
that this question should be settled
now, and I entertain the hope and ex
press the desire that it may be by the
ratification of the 15th article of the a
mendmcnt to the Constitution.
In conclusion, I ask the patient for
bearance of one towards another
throughout the land, and a determined
effort on the part of every citizen to do
his share towards cementing a happy
Union, and I ask the prayers of the na
tion to Almighty God in behalf of this
consummation.
A highly intelligent lady, a resident
of Syracuse, N. Y., says that she was
afflicted nearly a year, periodically,
with derangement of the circulation,
the blood rushing to the lungs with
such force as to threaten congestion and
death. This was attended with the
most intense pain in all parts of the
body. Failing to obtain relief from
any of tiie physicians whom she em
ployed from time to time, she was in
duced to try Plantation Bitters, and to
her surprise and joy they have reliev

I wast to rouse each sleepy head.
Who stand upon the brink,
Where yawning guifs disclose the dead,
Whotnigbt, but did not. think.
I want to warn the living ones
Who blindly grope along.
Y'e fathers, daughters, mothers, sens,
What perils round you throng '
Look out, my reader, are you free,
Or do you wear the mark ?
Most all'are blind and cannot see.
Yea, groping in the dark.
Catarrh, a demon in the head,
Consumption is its son;
Kills hosts, yea. countless millions, dea l.
Perhaps yon may be one.
That hacking, hawking, spitting, shows.
Catarrh effects your bead,
Matter and slime in throat or n
Runs down your throat instead.
Your lungs and liver soon will show,
Consumption has its birth ;
Catarrh, its sire, will feed it too,
'Till you return to earth.
If colds affect your bead and throat,
A.IXIKILAT&R buy ;
Now don't forget what I have wrote,
Or think this subject dry.

Catarrh —the demon flies ;
It saves the luugs, g'X>d health insures.
And Catarrh quickly dies
I want to gratify my frivols,
Who wish to understand
About PAIS PAIXT, its use. its ends.
And why its great demand.
I want to show you, plain as day.
6 fay PAIN PAI.NT stops ail pain,
That you insy never have to say
' I'll not try paint again
PAIS PAX>T will cool but never stain ;
Pumps inflammation out ;
Tts harmless on the breast or brain,
A trial stops all doubt.
When inflammation leaves the frame,
AH pain will cease at once ;
Remove the eause. ''tis all the same ;
None doubts unless a dunce.
The pores will ope and drink PAIS PAIST
Absorbents fill with ease ;
Restores the weak, the sick, the faint,
The greatest skeptic please
Evaporation cools the place
As inflammation flies;
Hot bk>od at the absorbent's base
Makes PAIST in vapor rise
Tis thus PAIS PAIXT removes all doubt,
Removes the very cause
By pumping inflammation out:
On this we rest otr cause.
