TUB STATE CONVENTION.
The Republican State Convention met at
Philadelphia on the 23 ult.. for the purpose
of nominating candidates for Governor and
Judge of the Supreme Court. Governor
Geary was re-nominated on the first ballot
by the overwhelming majority of 122 to 11.
A desperate effort had bceu made by a few
political tricksters to prevent his re-nomina
tion but their utmost effort proved a miser
able abortiou. Governor Geary was nonii
uatcd three years ago contrary to the wishes
of the same political ring and triumphantly
elected as the choice of the people and not
of the politicians. A man of the people
from among the ptople, he has given sueh
general satisfaction that the masses of the
Republican party who only a.-k an upright
and hottest admini.-tration have almost unan
imously re-nominated him on the first bal
lot. As the candidate of the party of Re
trenchment and Iletorm and one of its no
blest representatives he will be again tri
umphantly elected. As a man who dares
to obey conscience rather than politicians,
who labors in bis official capacity for the
good of the pcople and not simply for per
sonal advancement and partisan ends he
will command the support of honest men
and good citizens throughout the State.
No better nor more popular man than Gov
ernor treaty could have been nominated, nor
one more earnestly devoted to the best in
terests of the whole State. We would not
pretend that Governor Geary is faultless or
infallible, but we do a>-s;rt without fear of
contradiction that Pennsylvania has rarely
been blessed with a Governor, who lias
made fewer mistakes or exercised a more
careful guardianship over her interests,
(fairy \\. Williams of Pittsburg was unan
imously nominated for Judge of the Su
preme Court. His well known reputation
as a successful lawyer and an able jurist
gained him the Republican nomination two
years ago, when coffee pot Wallace's frauds
defeated him and placed the partisan .Sbars
wood on the Supreme Bench. He was.
since appoiuted to the Supreme bench by
Governor Geary to fill the unexpired term
of Judge Strong. His fitness for the posi
tion has been well attested by the ability
with which he has discharged the duties of
his office. The people will show their ap
preciation of him by triumphantly electing
him next fall and itbuking the fraud that
defeated him two years aeo. The ticket is
uodoubtedly the Strom- ; that culd possi
bly have been made and insures us a splen
did victory in October.
THE t-har of the Spanish Empire i 1 Cuba
seems to be slowly hut surely M nine. The
Spanish forces are dwindling daily while
those of the insurgents are as steadily in
creasing. Ihe p- nots now appear to have
complete contr I of full half the island, and
thej are da\_, trenching upon the portion
still under Spanish rule: Tito insurgents
are everywhere victorious and jubilant,
whiie the government troops arc' defeated
and desponding. Although under the neu
trality laws our government can give no aid,
and has even been constrained to make
some arrests of Cubans where their recruit
iT■ operations have been too hold and open,
yet the sympathy of the whole nation is
with the patriots and they know it. In ad
dition to this they have received and are
st..! receiving reinforcements and supplies
ol arms and ammunition from the United
State, almost daily, until they are now fair
ly clipped with the'best of modern weap
ons o! war, and led by some of our own ex
pt'rienced veterans, constitute quite an effi
cient force. The skies are certainly bright
ening for the patriots and the signs ot the
times indicate that Spanish rule in the Queen
-Antilles is fast approaching its end.
iitE Anthracite coal operators, who con
mved with their miters to bring about a
stnke in order to keep up the price of coal
by shortening tin, supply, have come to
grief. Instead of increasing the price of
coal they have only stimulated the produc
tion and increased the sales of bituminous
<•!. I hey are now beginning to see the
folly-of their course, and are preparing to
resume operations. But the consumers of
coal have already learned wisdom from the
folly of the operators and have been making
their arrangements for using soft coal
wherever practicable, and thereby becoming
independent of the anthracite opeiators.
Jbe Broad-top eoal region in this county
has felt the advantage of this fight, between
the producers and consumers of hard coal in
the increased prosperity of the mining in
terests in that section.
(\M>PEnn£imsM i„ taring to wear the
mask of a true Democracy gets into some
queer corners. Their latest original argu
ment a- advanced by the Harrisburg Patriot
that the more restricted the elective fran
chise and the fewer the number of votors
the more intelligent and the better the gov
ern ... nt. by this rule a government by
one man would be the very best attainable,
nether words an Emperor would be the
copperhead ideal of a perfect government.

to abandon the party that preaches Impe
rialism under the guise of opposition to
negro suffrage?
over tbe ff geUlDg badly ml Ulcd
thc question. Even our elev
tr neighbors of the Harrisburg Patriot un
dertook a few days ago to show that the
extension of the elective franchise tended to
imperialism. In other words that the more
democratic we became the less democratic
w • tvuu.d be, which is certainly a very ori
ental deduction, and must have been reach
ed by some very extraordinary method of
reasoning.
SOMETHING FOR FREE TRADERS
TO ANSWER.
Suppose we take the duty off iron as the
free traders desire, what would he the re
sult, we ask ? The wages are, for puddling
a ton of iron in englsnd, $3,27 i; in Bel
gium, $1.20; in the United States, $4.374,
. gold. The average weekly earnings in gold
in the United States, are $16.51; in Eng
! land, $8.75; in France, $8.00; and in Bel
gium, $6.00. The price of freight on a ton
of irc-n from either England, Belgium or
France, to New York, is not ss great as
from Pottsville to New York. Now cannot
any person see that with such competition,
under free trade, our iron establishments
must close or wages must be reduced to the
European rates? Recollect that in Eng
land, France and Belgium there are nearly
as many iron establishments standing idle,
for the want of a market for their pioducts,
as we have in the United States. In Eog
land, Wales andScotlond alone in 1867, out
of 913 furnaces built, 350 were standing
idle, we produce in 1867 only 1,461,626
tous against 4,761,028 produced in England.
By starting these furnaces, England alone
could supply us with a quantity equal to our
ale product. Under free trand the iron
business of the United States would have to
be abandoned or Wages reduced nearly one
half of the present rates.— Miners' Journal.
THE Democracy of Frederick, Md., had a
fioral decoration of the Rebel graves in that
vicinity on Friday afternoon last, on which
occasion John Ritchie, Esq., an eminent
Democratic lawyer, made the oration.
Why can't the Democracy of Adams be
as bold, and set apart a day, for the decora
! tion of the graves oj' the Rebel dead who lie
around Gettysburg ? If none of the resi
dent Democratic orators be equal to the oc
casion, one could be imported from the oth
i r side of the line, where fiecesh Democracy
has had full development and where the
Democrats are not ashamed to own that
they were Traitors during the war.—Get

IT is estimated that Air. Boutwcll's re
trenchment system will save the Govern
ment a million of doilarr in the single item
clerk-' S'larie- 1 . Johnson Copperhead ism
bad fastened so many of these barnacles in
the shape of extra and useless clerks to the
old ship of State that she bad become well
nigh water-logged. No one seemed to
dream bow small a force of clerks eould run
the revenue department until Boutwell be
gan to apply the pruning hook. The eyes
of a good many lazy clerks have been pretty
widely opened since then, much to the re
lief of Uncle Sam's purse.
SOMERSET COUNTY NOMINATIONS. —The
Republicans of Somerset have nomiuated
for Senator, Hon. A. Stntzman, for Assem
bly F. B. Long. These are both subject to
the decisions of the Senetorial and Legisla
tive conferences of the district.
The Somerset Democracy have nominat
ed Hiram Findlay again for the Senate and
Samuel \\ alker for Assembly, as a matter
of course they don't expect to be elected,
but propose meekly to accept the honor of
being defeated.
I'll EKE never was a party in existence in
this country which redeemed its pledges as
faithfully as has the Republican. When it
was organized it -pledged itself to maintain
the national life. The crushed slaveholder's
rebellion is the evidence of the fulfillment of
this covenant. During that struggle the
Republican party agreed to pay the nation
al debt and take care of tbo survivors of
(lie war for the Union. It is doing this
every day.— Ex.
IT appears from the investigations of the
census committee, that a new element will
be found to deal with in the next census.
The representation clause of the constitu
tor! will materially lesson the representation
of'quitc a namber of States unless the negro
is enfranchised. This will bring up the
uogro suffiage question in a new and more
practical light to the Democracy.
ORGANIZE FOR THE CAMPAIGN.— The
political Campaign in Pennsylvania is now
fairly commenced on the Republican side.
The State Ticket is in the held, and the
next duty is for our friends in the several
d' aricts to prepare for the work before
ihem. Let every man who would see the
Republican party victorious this fall begin
to work in earnest and at once.
ADD to the $31,000,000 of gold interest

Ist of July, the sum to be disbursed in the
ibree great cities for dividends, &c., and a
total of about sixty millions of currency will
be unlocked and distributed this week, in
those leading monetary - entres. The result
; of an easier money market is generally anti
cipated.
TIIE PEACE JUBILEE.— The great Peace
Jtth Te at Boston has proven a most extra
ordinary and wonderful success In the

beside one hundred anvils, the great organ,
the monster* bass drum and a battery of
artillery. Nothing like it has ever been
witnessed in the world before.
A NATIONAL TEMPERANCE CONVEN
TION has been called, to assemble at Chica

HENRV IIOUCK, Esq-, of Lebanon coun

intendent of Common Sehoola, to fill tlie va
cancy caused by the death of the late Chas.

for the post are very highly commended by
those who know him.
UPON the joint recommendation of Gov.
John W. Geary and the Hon. H. W. Wil
liams, Hon. John Covode was appointed
Chairman of the State Central Committee.
Mr. Ccvode is a hard-working, influential,
zealous Republican, and will look after the
interests of the party.
THE Ohio Republicans have re nominated
their present Governor, Rutherford B.
Hayes. Governor Hayes has made a most
acceptable Governor and has increased in
popularity and strength since bis election
two years ago. He will be re-elected by a
handsome majority.
PROTECTION to American industry as ad
vocated by the Bepublican party means
plenty of work, good wages and plenty of
money for every laboring man. Free-tirade
will surely bring, as it has always done idle

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
The Temporary and Permanent Organ
ization. The Convention Addressed
by Hon. Galnsha A. Grow. Geii. Geary
Renominated for (Governor. Jntlgc
Williams the Nomiueefor the Supreme
Bench.
PHILADELPHIA, June 23.
The Republican State Convention met in
Concert Hall this morning, for the purpose
of nominating candidates for Governor and
Judge of the Supreme Court. The hall was
handsomely decorated, and filled to its ut
most capacity with delegates and citizens.
Hon. Henry Souther, of Ridgway, was
elected temporary president.
The convention was called to order by
Hon. Galusha A. Grow, who delivered
an address congratulating the citizens
of Pennsylvania on the grand presidential
triumph last year, and assuring them that a
sound Republican who helped to fight that
grand political battle must be nominated
and elected to the gubernatorial chair. He
referred to the Missouri compromise, the
Kansas Nebraska bill, drawing a comparison
between the political events and slavery ol
1854 and the political rights and freedom en
joyed by all at the present day. The din of
arms is no longer heard, but the war of
ideas still goes on.
There was much sensation among tha dele
gates and significent dances were exchanged
at the conclusion of Mr. G row's speech.
The calling of the roll was proceeded with.
The 25th Senatorial district, Allegheny,
was represented by Messrs Brown and Mar
shall.
At 12 o'clock the Convention adjourned,
to meet again at two P. M.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
PHILADELPHIA, June 23.
On the reassembling of the Convention,
at 2 o'clock the Committee on Permanent
Organization reported Mr. Graham for per
manent President.
_ A resolution was adopted thanking Mr.
Grow for his able services in conducting the
late campaign. Speeches eulogistic of Mr.
Grow were then made, to which he rc
' sponded.
The Committee on Credentials then re
ported, and the delegates commenced ballot
ing. Among the names voted for were Gen.
eraD Meade, Porter of Dauphin county,
Liilie, of Carbon conntv, lion. George B.
Lawrence and others.
The nomination was made by the first bal
lot, which resulted as follows: Geary 122;
Meade, 4 : Lawrence, 6 ; Porter, 1.
H. W. Williams was then unanimously
nominated for Judge of the Supreme Court.
The following platform was then adopted
as the sentiments of the Republican Conven
tion :
Resolved, That we rejo'ce in the glorious
National victory of 1868, which is bringing
peace, happiness and prosperity to us as a
nation.
Resolved, That we wholly approve the
principles and policy of the administration of
General Grant, and we heartily endorse
everv sentiment contained in his inaugural
address, and especially do hereby ratify and
approve the late amendment to the Con
stitution of the United States proposed by
Congress, known as the Fifteenth Amend
ment.
Resolved. That we have confidence that
the General Administration will wisely and
firmly protect the interests of the Nation in
respect to our just claims against Great
Britain, and that we endorse the action of
the Senate in rejecting the Johnson Claren
don treaty, known as the Alabama claims.
Resolved, That we heartily sympathize
with the Struggling people of all nations in
their efforts to attain universal freedom and
the inalienable rights of man.
_ Resolved, That we cordially endorse the
administration ol Governor JohD W. Geary
as wise, economical and honest, and that it
deserves, as it has received, the approval of
the people of Pennsylvania, and we especially
commend his uniform efforts to restrain the
evils of special legislation.
Resolved, That in Hon. Henry W. Wil
liams, our candidate for the Supreme Bench,
we present a learned, pure and patriotic
jurist, who will adorn the high position to
which we propose to elect him.
Resolved, That we reiterate and affirm
our adherence to the doctrine of protection
as proclaimed in the ninth resolution of the
platform adopted at the State Convention of
March 7, 1866.
R'-xohtd, That wc onclor.se the ticket this
day nominated, and pledge to it our hearty
and cordial support.
Resolved, That the Chairman of this Con
vention is hereby authorized to appoint a
Chairman of the State Central Committee
on the joint recommendation of the can
didates this day nominated; and that the
State Central Committee shall consist,
during the coming campaign, of the same
number of delegates from each county as
the last committee, and they be appointed
by the Senatorial and Representative
delegates, except Allegheny county, which
shall have eight members.
At five o'clock the business for which the
Convention had assembled was disposed of,
and it adjourned xine dir.
OF the nominations, the Philadelphia
North American Bays : General Geary is a
veteran soldier of two of the most glorious
wars of the Republic. In both cases he
went in to seek no holiday service, lie
served fully and ably, and in the last and
greatest war he only returned to the bosom
of his native Commonwealth when the great
army of Sherman was disbanded, after its
ever-memorable campaign through Georgia
and the Carolina*
Such a hero is a fit target for the sneers of
the party that went into the Presidential
campaign of 1804 with a platform pronounc
ing the war a failure. The people endorsed
him in 1866, when he was elected their
Governor, and we cannot believe that they
will now reverse that verdict in 1869, after
he has honorably fulfilled the responsible
duties of his high office, but we will rc-clect
him by a great majority.
Judge Williams is no new or untried man.
As a Judge of the Court of Allegheny
county, his record is one in the highest de
gree honorable to himself. Ilia character
stands enviably high with the bench and
bar of the State, and his thoroughly judicial
cast of mind befits him for the office to
which he has been nominated. It is the
same he now fills by appointment of the
Governor, made upon the resignation of
Judge Strong, and we have heard no ob
jection to his course and conduct on that
bench. As regards the importance of the
office, we need only remind our readers that,
of the Judges now on the bench of the Su
preme Court Messrs. Sharswood and
Thompson arc Democrats in a strict partisan
sense, and that if another Democrat be now
elected to fill Strong's vacancy, that party
will again have entire control of the highest
Court in the Commonwealth, three being a
majority of that bench.
The War of the Printers.
Ihe professor of the "art preservative of
all arts have for years past been organ
ized in a series of protective associations,
know as l nions. These societies regu
lated the compensation of the printers, and
one of its most rigid rules was that none hut
members of Unions shall work together in
the same offices, Consequently, all print
ing establishments were forced to employ
tither all "Union compositors or rely ex
clusively upon outsiders. The exoteric
tjrpos were designated by the esoteric
l nions as "rats." though in what respects
they resemble the shrewd and sham-toothed
rodents is wrapped in mystery. The Gov
ernment Printing Department at Washing
ton has always employed Union men, until
Mr. Superintendent Clapp put a National
composing stick into the dusky hands of one
L. 11. Douglass, a colored man, and not a
member of any Union. The Supcrinten
dent was requested to remove the colored
rat, but refused. Then the National
typographical Union met and condemned
him, next the printers employed in the
Government Office assembled and passed
resolutions condemning the National Typo
graphical Union, and indorsing Mr. Clapp,
and turther they demanded in lite name ul
right the admission into their Union of all
worthy printers, irrespective or raees, color,
or sex. Tliis is breaking down barriers of
exclusion with a vengencc. The adherents
ot Mr. Ulapp are certainly bold and pro
gressive men, and have placed themselves
in a position where they must either achieve
a crowning victory or sustain a crushing de
feat. The printers' war has assumed an in
teresting phase, and the now mooted ques
tion of distinctions of sex and race in the
arena of labor will be effected by the result
o! the {tending typographical contest.
T
llorte Resigns.
WASHINGTON, June 25.—A special nib
ing of the Cabinet was held this morni
and Mr. Borie resigned his position as S
retary of the Navy. Hon. George M. Re
eson, of New Je-sey, has been appointed
succeed Mr. Bono.
TIIE NEW CABINET OFFICEB.
The lion. George M. Robeson, appoiij c
ed by the President Secretary of the Nav c
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the regit ß
nation of lion. A. K. Borie, is a son . c
Judge William P. Robeson, of Wane,
county, New Jersey, who tvas, as a leading
Whig, Ion;! and prominently connected witl c
the politics of the State.
Mr. Robeson entered Princeton College:
in 1844, and upon graduating, in 1847, en
tered the law office of Chief Justice Horn-i
blower at Newark. Upon concluding his
legal studies, in 1850, he was associated for
a time in the practice of his profession with
A. C. M. Pennington. Subsequently re
moving to Camden, he was appointed pro: -
ecutorof the pleas tor that county in 1850.
! Upon the election of Mr. Frclinghuysen as
Senator, in 18ft", Mr. Robeson was appoint
ed by Governor Ward Attorney General,
which position be resigns for bis new duties,
To bis fine legal qualifications he unites a
general knowledge and practical ability,
which give promise of efficiency and useful
ness in his new position. Mr. Robeson is a
strong and decided Republican, and has
been earnest ami active in support of its
principles and candidates. On all questions
of national policy he is in entire accord with
the party which supported the election of
Gen. Grant. It_ is a curious coincidence
that the only position ever held iu the Cab
inet by Jersey men has been that of Secre
tary of the Navy.
In 1523 Samuel L. Southard was appoint
ed Secretary of the Navy by President Mon
roe, and he contiuued in that position dur
ing the entire administration of John Quin
cy Adauis. In 1834 M&hlon Picker son was
appointed Secretary of the Navy by Presi
dent Jackson, and he continued in the Cab
inet of Mr. \ an Buren for more than a year.
Both were distinguished men, and added to
their reputation by their administration of
the Navy Department.
The Census Committee.
WASHINGTON, June 21.—1t is evident
from the tone of the press generally, as well
as from private conversation, that the pub
lic does not fully appreciate the importance
of the labor cf the Census Committee, which
has just adjourned. To fully appreciate it.
it should be remembered that the census is
taken primarily for the purpose of establish
ing a basis of representation in Congress,
and secondarily, for the collection of inter
esting statistics regarding the progress and
resources of the country. The committee
has concluded, upon careful examination of
the fourteenth amendment to the Constitu
tion, that it will be necessary to take an ac
curate enumeration of all male citizens of
the I nited States, 21 years of age, who are
denied by their respective States the right
to vote. They think this necesgkry to ob
tain a constitutional basis for the appoint
ment of Representatives. The comniittte
are of the opinion that the effeet of this
will be in those States where, from any
cause, the right of nude citizens to vote is u I
any way abridged, whether they be white
or black, except by disqualification on ac-'
count of participation in the rebellion, to
reduce the nurnber of Congressmen. Penn
sylvania. New York. Massachusetts, Ken
tucky, Maryland, and other States will be
compelled to make the franchise universal
and place all voters on an impartial plat
form, or suffer a material reduction of tli<
strength of each State in its Congrssiona
delegation.

Grit RELATIONS MM BRAZIL.—NT i
until the arrival ol the Brazilian mail cot! j
we form any idea ol the hot
which our Minister to Brazil lias wag!
with the government of Don Pedro. Ge !
W ebb is a positive man. Having a numi •
of American claims in hand long pendin ;
he insisted upon their timely recognitio ;
and payment. The Brazilian Cabinet deeit
ed it best diplomacy to overlook the Goner 1
al, and simply consult Mr. Seward through
their assiduous representative at Washing!
to °- Mr. Webb retorted by presenting hii
own and Mr. feeward s demands, coupled
with a vigorous intimation that he would
not permit himself to be snubbed with im
punity. Brazil rejoined in effect that the
1 ailed States Minister might leave its hos
pitable shores whenever it pleased bis con
venience; whereupon General Webb took
hi 3 passport and prepared to sail. Bur, to
the honor of our flag, the Minister was po
litely recalled two hours before he expected
to go—thanks first to the stentorian tone of
our spirited representative, thanks second
to what may be called- the moral power of
our Government.
Cuban Matters.
WASHINGTON, June 18th JSG9.
ij°- r 6013)6 ays several prominent Cubans,
holding official relation to the revolutionary
government of Cuba, have been in Wash

and prominent Senators, and the assurances
given them of sympathy with the Cubans
iti their struggle, render practical aid to the
cause, gives their representatives in this
city much satisfaction. They state that a
government agent will be sent to ascertain
the strength and prospects of the revolution
ists, and if favorable in their opinion, the
belligerent rights of the Cubans will be roc
ogmzed by the government.
A ™KEE MASTED schooner was built in
Lake \\ innebago, Wisconsin, brought
thence to Dubuque a cargo of lumber, and
irom Dubuque to St. Louis 6000 bushels of
oats t here to take on board a cargo of wheat
for New Orleans, to be employed afterward
in the coasting trade between that port and
other ports on the Gulf of Mexico. The
building of such a vessel, more than 30(10
miles from the sea, in a region where timb< r
is inexhaustible and the subsistence of the
laborer cheap, is a signal illustration of the
value of the vast iron system of our coun
try. and hints at the possibility of creating
a flourishing business in ship-building in the
very heart of the North American conti
nent.
A CCRIOOB CASE.—A gentleman from!
Estill county informs the .Richmond Regis-!

gentleman who has an intersting daughter
about ten yftirs of age. Whilst the child is
of a conversant turn, and chats freely with
the other members of the latnily, she has
never spoken to her father, although divers
means have been resorted to make her do
so. When questioned by her mother as to
ber singular treatment of her father, her
only answer ia that she has tried to speak to
him, but finds it an impossibility. The
father is much attached to her, and her
singular conduct is a source of great trouble ■
to liirn.
SENATOR MORTON'S oration at Gettys
burg on July 4 will be "on the progress of

it is certain that Buffalo's endeavor to get

A Woman Rousted Alive.
A startling and fatal case of burning oc
curred yesterday afternoon in this city,
shortly after 5 o'clock, at Hcrdie Row.
Mrs. Susan Douglas, a widow woman, em
ployed as a domestic in the house of Dir.
James Bennett, attempted fo hasten the
kindling of a fire by pouring coal oil from a
can upon it. The burning fluid cuniuiuni
cated with the can and the latter exploded,
scattering the contents over the woman's
clothes and the room.
With her clothes in flumes, the affright

NEW AND OOOI) BOOKS.
Having for four year* past ial>orc<i to improve
and enlarge the ISQI IBEH and to so fill it with
the latest news that our people would have little
or no need of any other paper, we have found that
one of the chief difficulties in our way has been
that of getting a sufficient number of subscribers
to pay the expenses necessarily incurred in mak
ing a county paper what it ought to be. Though
the Isgi irtEit has a larger number of subscribers
than any other paper in the county, it still has
but little more than half what it ought to have to
justify us in ibo outlay necessary to keep it up
to the standard at which we have steadily aimed.
The IxqeißEß will continue to be the exponent
hnd advocate of a thorough-going Republicanism,
find of retrenchment, economy and reform in the
administration of the affairs of county, state and
jhution. It will also, as usual, contain a larger
jtmount of late news and carefully selected gener
al reading matter than any other paper in this
Congressional District.
An important political campaign is just about
to begin, involving tho election of a Governor,
supreme Judge, State Senator, Member of the
-cgislaturo, and a full county ticket. The State
md District tickets are of the highest importance
a there will be a new apportionment made at the
I uxt Session of the Legislature. With such an
j uportant campaign before us, it is highly desira-
I to to put the IXQCIRER in tho hands of every
[ lopublican in the county. We therefore call up
' 01 our friends to help us put it at once into tho
■ hsids of as many of our people as possible. As
a nrtherlnduecmrnt to exertion wo have eonclu-
I dedto offer the following desirable
PREMIUMS:
For JEC new subscriber and $2.00 in advanco, wo

will give one number of Scott's novels, 20 cent

S ARS APARILLA,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cures, many of which are truly
marvelous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous disease,
where the system seemed saturated with corrup
tion, have been purified and cured by it. Scrofu
lous affections and disorders, which were aggra
vated by the scrofulous contamination until they
were painfully afflicting, have been radically cur
ed in such great numbers in almost every section
of the country, that the public scarcely need to be
informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and un
felt tenant of the organism undermines the con
stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling or
fatal diseases, without exhibiting a suspicion of its
presence. Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develops into one or other of its
hideous forms, either on the surface or among
the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be sud
denly deposited in the lungs or he-art, or tumors
formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by
'eruptions on the skin, or feul ulcerations on some
part of the body. Ilence the occasional use of a
bottle of this Sartaparrilla is advisable, even
when no active symptoms of disease appear.
Persons afflicted with the following complaints
generally find immediate reiicf, and, at length,
cure, by the use of this SARS APARILLA; St.
Anthony** Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt
Klit um, Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Sore
Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of
Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed
forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits,
Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various Ulcerous af
fections of the muscular and nervous systems.
Those painful diseases, Rheumatism and Gout,
when caused by accumulations of extraneous mat
ters in the bloody yield quickly to it, as also Liver
Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflamation
of the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising, as they
often do, from the ranking poisons in the blood.
This Sarsaparilia is a great restorer for the
strength and vigor of the system. Those who
are Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless,
and Troubled with Nervous apprehensions or
Fears, or any of the affections symptomatic of
Weakuess, will find immediate relief and convin
cing evidence of its restorative power upon trial.
