Without making any careful calculation | we set down the State debt left the Repub- j licau party as a legacy by the retiring eon- i perhead administration iu 1361 at forty mil lions. We also set down the amount of State debt paid off since IS6I at twenty mil lions. The Gazette did not dire to give the honest figures but set too work to refute it by partial quotations from the regular reports. Why don't it give the figures full and hon est? Because those figures triumphantly vindicate our assertion. Take the Gazette's own statement that the debt in December was $37,969,847,50 as true. By reference to the State reports it will be seen that a Democratic rebellion made necessary an ex tra session of the Legislature in May 1861 and also the negotiation of a war loan of $3,487,350. Nothing can be tiuer than that this is justly chargeable as a portion of the Democratic debt. Tlii- makes the round sum of $41,457,197,50. In December I*6B jur-t eight years later, all of Republican rule, taking the Gazette's own statement the debt j was $33,286,046,13. But the Gazette for got to make a very iaipoi taut deduction from this amount. At the time of this report there were in the State Treasury stocks, j bonds and other fanes 8S assets, and making an offset from the public- debt to the amount of $10,795,353,62 beside 31,012,925,37 iu cash makiug an aggregate of 311,808,278,99 to be deducted from the $33,286,946,13 and leaving as the actual debt to be provided for $21,478,667,14 against $41,457,197,50 left us in 1861 by the outgoing copperheads and showing a net i eduction in eight years of Republican rule of 819,878,530.36 or at the rate of $2,497,316,27 per year. Our read ers will bear in mind that this his all bceu done beside paying the interest on the debt and the nece-sary expenses of government, which were largely increased by reason of the increase of prices all ovei the country in cident upon the war. In addition to this the taxes upon real estate have been remov ed and the bur.hens of our people greatly lightened. Be net dete'ved by any half statements of the truth. These figures can all be verified from the official reports and cannot be denied. WHAT A ItE WE COJHSt; TO f There is to day a large amount of coal on hand at the mines, and sales are very light. People are waiting for a fall in prices. It has just been discovered that the coal tnen of Pennsylvania have had a meeting, and adopted such a scale of rat< - to miners that will force another strike, and the middle of September will find a stock 011 hand inade quate to the demands ■ i' the season, and prices will go up fearfully, perhaps reaching fifteen dollars per tun. Iti the mine of common justice and tl.e wants of humanity, cannot this terrible Commercial demoraliza tion be cured ? This sort of lusine- falls with crushing cruelty upon the |<.or, a class ol wealth producers, who carry the oun'ry on their shoulders, finding seven-eighths of the means required to support the adminis tration, andprest. ,e the credit of the Gov ernment Tim j are the m,, who are pinched by t ..oc coal strikes. Is there no remedy If not, w hat wrll all this despot ism upon the poor workincmen finally lead to. Let the coal capitalists and all other capitalists, who can aid in preventing these things, reflect a little.— (lu - ftr August 20. Why don"t the Gayttr tell its readers that Asa Packer is one of the largest coal capitalists in Pennsylvania? It is true enough this sort of business falls with crushing weight upon the poor, and it shows bow touch Asa J'acker cares for the pHjr. His twenty millions helps only to fortify himself and others of the sauie kiud in their 'lespoltsm over the poor and needy. "W hat wiil all this despotism finally lead to" if such men as Pucker and other coal capi talists are given the control of the Stale? In view of the magnitude of the evil how important that the people aduiinisP r a with ering rebuke to those despots, by giving ' heir representative, Packer, an overwhelm ing defeat. Don't spare the tyrants. Senatorial t OM tlfliJiCE. Ihe Senatorial Couforence for the 20th Senatorial District consisting of Bedford, Somerset and Fulton counties, met at the \\ ashington House in this borough on Thursday the 26th ult.. and continued in session until Satuiduy evening, when after the withdrawal of the Bedford county Con ferees we are informed Hon. Alexander StuUman was nominated by the remaining Conferees. \\ e are unable to give the pro ceedings this week as the Secretary neg'ett ed to furnish u- with a report. The card of the Bedford County Conferees in justifi cation of their withdrawal will be found in another column. A GOOD EXAMPLE. The Court of Quartes Session of Lanca-, tor a few weeks ago in sentencing prisoners to the county jail, in addition to the usual form the words "to be fed at thirty cents a day were added. This was done to pre vent exorbitant charges for feeding prison ers. It has long been the eu-tom in this county with cur sheriffs to feed the prison crs from their own tables ; we dd not know what the usual charges are, but it seems to us that the above direction might be intro here greatly t0 the advantage of tax payers. We commend the matter to the consideration of our President Judge and his Associates. PAYING IT OE'E. The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund ot the State of Pennsylvania invite propo sals tor the redemption of one million of dollars of the State loan, d„ e j u j y lt i B7O MM, under Republican administration, the reduction of our State debt goes steadily on, an 1 this fact alone is a most convincing ar gument for the re-election of Governor ' ' ear y ' n 1 Vitober next. W hat Democratic a ministration ever presented such a record of good dee Is done ? The good works of the copperheads have never existed except in p;onise that bore no fruit. A CA KB To the Republicans of Bedford County: At the election held on the 19th of March last, the Republicans of Bedford County selected as their candidate for the office of State Senator, G. SHANNON MULL IN, of Harrison township, and we were chosen as conferees from the county of Bedford to meet similar conferees from the counties of Somerset and Fulton. The c inference met at Bedford on Thursday the 26th day of August, and was organized by the appoint ment of Hamilton B. Barnes of Somerset county as chairman, and Harry E. Shafcr of Fulton county as secretary, and continued in session until the evening of Saturday the 28ih of August. The conferees of Somerset county nominated Alexander Stutzman; the conferees of Fulton county nominated Jonathan B. Cessna, and the conferees of Bedford county nominated G. Shannon Mnllin. A number of ballots were taken — the conferees of each county generally votiDg for the nominee of their county. On Sat urday afternoon it became manifest that two of the conferees from Fulton county would vote for Alexander Stutzman and with the three votes from Somerset county would give him the nomination. Against this action we protested until we found it was useless to do so longer, and we then on Saturday evening withdrew from the con ference, refusing to unite in presenting Mr. Stutzman to the Republicans of this Seua- j torial District as their candidate for the im 1 portant office of State Senator. Mr. Stu'z man, a* we are informed, received thenom it uf Lis uouuiv us m tunc cuuipiliucut with no idea on the part of the Republicans of Somerset county that be could or would obtain the nomination of the District. For four years ha has been a member of the Senate of Pennsylvania and in our opinion and in the opinion of a large number of bis constituent! showed by his conduct in Har lisburg that he ought not to be re-elected. We were satisfied from the views expressed to us by a considerable number of Republi cans that, if nominated, he could not be elected, and that if he could he ought DGt to be elected, and we, therefore, declined to assist in placing his name before the people. Believing that we have done right we sub mil our conduct to you, confident that you wiil approve it. We inr.de every effort to avoid all difficul ty by offering to agree to any good man from Somerset county, but the conferees of : that county would have no man but Stutz man, and by some means they influenced . two of the conferees from Fulton county to ! go with i hem. G. W. WILLIAMS, JNO. G. MINNICH, ISAIAH CONLEY, THE LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE. The Legislative Conference met in this place on Friday last, and placed in nomina tion for Representatives from this district JACOB H. LONGENECKER. Esq. of Bed ford borough and ('apt. r. B.

That the business community begins to un derstand the reform is shown by the fact that the Boards of trade of Chambers of Commerce of the followingcities have unani mously resolved in it* favor: Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New 0. leans, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Provide nee, Savannah, Mobile. San Franci-co will soon be added to the list.— Philadelphia Morning Post. THE Gazette with its u.-ual brazen im pudence tries to uiake capital out of the fact that a State loan of twenty-three mi lions was made iu 1867. Why does it not tell the whole truth and say that twenty three millions of the Copperhead legacy of of the State debt fell due at that time and had to be paid by negotiating a new loan ? Why not tell the whole truth ? Half truths are the vilest kind of falsehoods. It also ssys this loan was made at 6 per cent to replace the old one at 5 per cent, but for gets to tell its readers that this had to be done, because the public credit bad been impaired by the immense debt heaped upon the country by a Democratic rebellion, and fuither that Democratic advocacy of re pudiation had bred a distrust of the public faith. Tell the whole truth. THE Gettysburg Military Reunion, which wa designed to bring together all the offi c rs, rebel and union, who participated in the great battle, turned out a comparative failure. Two rebel Colonels, were all who oared to meet on the field of their inglori ou-. defeat, the men who conquered them in that terrible struggle. A large number of uuion officers also declined to fraternize as proposed, with the men whose bloody trea son had well nigh sundered our union and destroyed our liberties. May the natue cf Gettysburg, through all fitne, be a terror to triitors and may the brave men who gained that glorious victory ever refuse to meet on equal terms all traitors and rebels, who irn brtted their hands in the blood of our broth cri for the wicked purpose of destroying American liberty. IT is estimated that the Republicans will ga n some four thousand votes this fall in Philadelphia over last year, when Grant had 26,(XX) majority in the State. This is rather a gloomy prospect for Packer. The great change is attributed to the disgraceful character of the local nominations and bad condition of the city government under the Democratic rule. Thomas Bingham, Esq., a prominent politician in Pittsburgh, esti mates Geary's majority in Allegheny at over 8,000. From the Northern and North western counties, including the Republican strongholds of" Erie, Bradford, Tioga, and Crawford, the news is also very cheering.— Ada nit Star and Sentinel, MR. GEORGE H. PENDLETON in accept ing the nomination for Governor of Ohio, 00 tj) plains that Secretary Boutwell is .paying a premium for government bonds, that ought to fee putehs-od at par. He seems to forget that all the obligations of the gov eminent are made payable in coin, and that the Secretary is saving a good deal of money by buying bonds at less than their par value m coin. The 3-29 bonds are not yet due, and the holders may refuse to sell them if they see proper. Should they do so, until they become due they could demand their par value in specie,' which is now something over 30 per cent, premium. Mr. Bout well's policy will stand rubbing like a piece of genuine silver, and will grow brighter under the scouring* of such rcpudiators as HOT. George H. Pendleton and Company. York True Demonrat. THE Gazette charges that we pay two millions more of taxes than under Demo cratic rule. It does not deny that the taxes are lower. Why not state the legitimate conclusion. If the taxes are lower aud we pay more tax into the Treasury it only shows that under Republican rule the taxes are more honestly collected. It may be that Democrats have to toe the mark a little closer and there is where the shoe pinches. Under Democratic rule they escaped but under Republican they are made to pay their honest share. Well, is not that about right. What say the honest tax-payers ? SIXTY times was Major General John W\ Geary under fire, and be was never defeated when in eomniDnd. In one of the fiercest battles of the war his first-born son was shot down near him, but he never faltered. Ht3 field service was of the hardest kiod from the opening of the war to its close. Now let us have Asa Packer's record. Where did he expose his precious person on what field? llow much, if any, of his $20,000,000 went to support the Govern ment when imperiled by traitors and reb els?— Adams Star and Sentinel. DEMOCRATIC SPEAKERS are obliged to exercise great caution in their travels. In no two states do they have the same plat forms. The? charge the Republican party with sectionalism though their platform in any state would suit the party in any other state in the Union. Such is the consistency of copperh; adisin. They have.no principle hut plun lot and they profess in any state or locality whatever will bring them votes, never expecting nor intending to keep their promises. WIPING OCT A DESERT. —M. DE. Les seps, the French engineer, who has charge of the Suez canal, now proposes to change the Great Desert of Sahara into a sea, by cutting a canal from the lied Sea. It has been ascertained that the desert forms a regular basin and is much lower than the Red Sea. It will not be a matter of sur prise if the present generation sees the great desert abolished and a genuine sea take its place. STATE FAIR. —The Pennsylvania Agri cultural Society will hold its next annual fair in Harrisburg, beginning on the 28th of September and continuing until Octol>er Ist. The premium list amounts to SIO,OOO. All articles are to be admitted free of charge ou compliance with the requirements of the society relative to entries for exhibition. AVE want our political opponents to un derstand that while we are willing to meet them in fair and honest dbccussion we can not eonsent to resort to gross personalities or low vnlusritv Let nnlitionl discussions be decent and dignified. ANOTHER million dollars of the State debt is to he paid off shortly by these terrible Republicans. It is astonishing how they wipe out debts and rebels. Tbey propose to wipe out Packer in tbe same style about the 12th of October. Cuba.— The news from the Queen of the Antilles is still favorable for the patriots. It is reported that the offer of the United states to act as mediator betwen the belligerent colony and the Spanish authori ties has been rejected. ' TrtE International boat race on the Thames last week resulted in a victory for Oxford, the Ilarvards being beaten six seconds in the race of four and a half miles. The particulars of the race will be found in another column. THE copperheads arc mighty sick of their record on-debts, national, State and county. They try hard to crab out of it but they can't do if. Their record is bad and the people know if. IF the people want the state debt to con tinue to be paid off at the rate of two tnii lious and a half a year let them go to work with a will for Geary and the whole Repub | bean ticket. LiOHT more years of Republican rule at the same rate as the past eight, will com pletely wine out the state debt left us by- Democratic rulers. Everybody who wants it done will accordingly vote for Geary. ——-—— THE copperheads rejoiced greatly over the Kentucky election. They called it a great Democratic victory, and it was too. No candidate who had served in the rebel army was defeated. 1 ROORESSING. —The lowa Democracy ! show signs of improvement. At their late State Convention they tabled a resolution against the Fifteenth Amendment. POLITICAL ITEMS. ASA PACKER is a Railroad King. Do the people of Pennsylvania want a mo nopolist for Governor? THE Democratic papers are attacking Gov. Geary on account of his extremely temperate habits. Andy Johnson and Frank Blair suit them better. DURING the war Asa Packer packed his trunks and went to Europe, where he stayed two whole years, consorting with the Rebels. Should such a patriot be chosen Governor of the great State of Pennsylvania? THE N. Y. World says there is to be an earnest effort to wake up the Democracy of lowa. llow much? Earnestness in the Democratic rauks of Pennsylvania is now understood to mean money. REMEMBER, tax payers, that wherever the Republicans are in power the debts are being pai l and the taxes are being decreased, while under Democratic administrations the the reverse is true. W E are reliably informed that where Mr. Paeker is best known he is least liked. If any one doubts it, go to Mauch Chunk, where he refuses to pay hts taxes and learn for yourselves. Such is our information. MR. PACKER was thrown into the Lehigh river in 1843 by Pennsylvania workmen. Three hundred thousand working men of Pennsylvania will throw him into the Salt river in October, 1869. ASA PACKER is the "Workingmeti's Frieod," according to Democratic testimony. But the Workingmen pitched him into the Lehigh river because he wanted to force them to work for starvation prices. Will they vote for him now? TRE Pennsylvania and Ohio Democrats have both failed in their efforts to secure a respectable soldier to run for theni for Gov ernor. The Democratic purty ignored the brave soldier during the war and now the tables are turned. Hts fond partisans style Judge Packer "The Pride of the Valley." The !a:t time the Pride offered h'mself as a candidate f„r popular support was for Town Councilman ofMaach Chunk, in 1861, when he ran two votes ahead of his ticket, and was beaten by fifty majority at that. JOHNSON stock in the Senatorial race has evidently fallen within the past few day*. The wily politician can hardly recover the ground he has lost. The sharp sigkted Conservatives feel that he would be a mill stone round their necks, and few of the Old Whigs can endure him. THE New York World is rampant on specie payments. Mr. Pendlotor, for Governor of Ohio, is equally exubcrint over a greenback currency. Democratic con sistency. The World declares specie pay ments to be the great aim of tßit party. The Pennsylvania Democratic Convention used greenbacks. GEN. GEARY gave his son to feedom, on the battle field. If patriotism is entitled to recognition, it seems to us that so noble a sacrifice -hould not be forgotten Get). Geary gave his services to his couetry, and on many occasions he exposed his life, in de fence ol the rights of the nation. It seems clear that he should be preferred to Gov. Packer, for these reasons, if for no others. IT w reported that if Packer succeeds in being elected Governor, Judge Woodward is to bo his Secretary of Commonwealth. The editor of the Tunkhannock RepMimn says he does not like to venture a prediction at this early day, out of respect to his repu tation as a prophet, but hazards little in saying that when Mr. Packer is Governor of this State, some other aud more improbable things will happen. THE copy of the Harrisburg Patriot that contained the announcement of Packer's nomination also proclaimed an offer of several of the Chambcrshurg Democracy to bet SIOOO to SBOO that he (Packer) will be elected. Decent respect for public opinion should have induced these fellows to carry their share of the spoils home be fore thus flaunting the wages of their in iquity in the face of the world. IN Ohio the Democrats have in their platform declared war against all Protection to American Industry. The Democrats tf Pennsylvania advocate the same doctrine, but did not dare to put it in their platform. Packer and his party have no interest in the laboring man except to get his vote, and will do all they can to reduce his wages to the standard of foreign pauper*, by the adoption of a British Frdte Trade policy, the moment they have the I ower. Tru-t then) not. DURING the eclipse at Council Bluff* lowa, where it was almost total, a Count; Democratic Nominating Convention wa- it session.

It is needless to say that the resolution was unanimously adopted. WHAT will Thompson, Sharswood, Ileade a 5 ..V .. tLL.h if Oyius Persuing, a country Squire, should be elected to the Supreme bench? Verily, there must be more in his profession than his practice to entitle him to that honor. To be a Judge requires a man to be "learned in the law." Pershing must take it in by intuition. This eminent lawyer does not live in a county town and never tried a half dozen cases un assisted. What a fit associate for the enii nent jurists who now fill the bench. We will have some original "crowners quest law'" when Pershing gets to lie Judge.— Uarrisburg Telegraph. "BRICK' POMKROT, the great apostle of Democracy, says he "would repudiate the national debt in two seconds if he had the power. Again he says, "wo dare urge repudiation, we dare head a mob and batter down the vaults where our masters keep the notes which they say we must pay." This same "Brick" was sent from New York to llarrisburg to engineer Packer through the Democratic Convention, and vou are asked to support men who hold and endorse the >atne principles that the un,-crupu!ousßrick ; has the boldness to advocate through the j columns of his paper. VY orkiog men, ,'ook to your interests before you surrender your selves to the enemies of your country. DEMOCRATIC journals dwell upon the fact that their fifteen millionaire candidate has given half a million ol dollars to a Univer sity. Whereupon the Philadelphia Bulletin asks a few pertinent questions "How! much has Mr, Packer given to the Union soldiers ol the war; how much to the bauitary aod Christain Commissions; how much to soldiers' widows and orphans, and how much to all the various patriotic chari ties to which poorer men have given so lib-rally ?

THE Atlantic Monthly for September is the chief literary sensation of the month on ac count of Mrs. Stowe's telling of "The True Story of Lady Byron's Life."

ENGLAND. j The Great Boat Race — Victory of the Ox- I ford —The Harvards Beaten by Four Lrnghtt—Comment* of the Pre**. [FIRST DESPATCH.] LONDON, Aug. 27 —A. M.—The news papers, to day, publish closing comments on the boat race, which occurs this afternoon at live o'clock. The Telegraph eulogises the Elliott boat as light, fust and graceful—travels well, and suits her crew. We do not expect, the Telegraph says, that the Harvards can win the race, but the changes made by them briug the crews more on a level. On the whole, we think it will be a capital race. The Oxfords will defeat their gal ant ad versaries without difficulty. If otherwise, tlie Harvatds must have an ovation, to show j that we are not ashamed to be beaten by j on* excellent cousins. i I'he Star says the Americans are indi ' vdually more powerful than the Oxfords, j lor it is thought their training is uot ac coding to Engti.h notions of strictness. Ihe Daily Netex says: —"Above all thugs we are anxious that the contest shall be dtsrp from first to last; that victory, whir her on one side or the other, shail be so hrd to earn as to cover winners and loses- alike with glory. To prejudge the issii would be impertinent in the last de gree," Tie writer then takes opportunity to ac knowledge to the lull extent the obvious ; at:d inevitable disadvantage the Harvards j have contended against. Tht river and everything were strange and uaiamiliar, and masters as they were of the science of rowing, they had to study it almost iikc the alphabet of a foreign lan guage. The Oxford on Charles river would labor undet similar disadvantages. All tbat can i be said is, that they add grace to victory and diguity to defeat. The general impres sion is, that it will be a great race to llam ujorsmith—two miles. The bridge at Putney has been eomplete- J iy barred, and no boats except those of the umpire and press will lie allowed to pass. | The bitting is two to one and seven to four !on the Oxfords. It is reported that several American gentlemen now here staked £IOOO last evening on the success of the Harvards. [SECOND DESPATCH.] full I'articulais of the Contest. LONDON, Aug. 27. —The excitement, to day, over the great international boat race . has b-en intense. The banks of the Thames ■ have been lined with spectators since an j early hour this morning. The city has been almost deserted, and business quite neg lected. Vehicles of all descriptions, bearing the Harvard and Oxford colors, and heavi ly laden with people, crowded all the roads leading to the oour-e, and during the entire day the roads in the viciuity of Putney, Hauimursuiiih, Cbiswiek ,Barnes, Mortluke, Ac., were thronged with pedestrians. The railway companies found themselves unable to provide cars sufficient o carry the vast numbers in waiting at the depots. It is no exaggeration to state that probably a mil lion people witnessed the race. The Harvard crow won the toss for posi tion, and chose the Middlesex side (the outside of the semi-circle). Both boats started at 5 o'clock, 14 minutes and 16J seconds. The weather was fine and hot. The tide at the start was sluggish, and a light southwest breeze prevailed, with smooth water. The Harvards were the first to catch the water and took the lead, gain ing rapidly on their opponents, and making -15 s'rokes a minute again-t the Oxfords 40. At Bishop's creek, three furlongs from the -tart, the Havards led half a length. Gain ing headway, they increased their lead as they passed the Willows. Their pace was subsequently slackened, and the Oxfords pulled up, but the Harvards were still three quarters of a length ahead at Craven Point, three-quarters ot a mile from the start. Oxford now Went on with a steady drag, but the Americans rapidly increased their lead, and at Crab Tree, a mile and an eight h from the aqueduct, were a couple lengths ahead. Beyond this point the Harvards were taken wide, and the Oxfords, quicken ing their speed, reduced the gap at the soap works, a mile and a half from thostart, to half a length. The Harvards now pulled up with a uiagnlficient burst, to Hammer smith Budge, a utile and three-quarters, but in shooting the bridge, lost the distance they had gained. Opposite the middle mall the Oxfords spurted, and came up gradually to the Har vards, hut when opposite the Doves, the boats were found to be too close together, and the Harvards gave way, and at Chis wick Ait, two and half miles, the boats were level. After proceeding fifty yards further, the Oxfords began to gain, though tempo rarily, and the Harvards again got. even with them. The Oxtords gained rapidly at Chis wick, where it became clear that the pace apparently told on the Harvards, who were rather wild at this part of the race. From this point the Oxlords rapidly dtew ahead, and in a few strokes obtained a lead of two lengths. The Harvards, rowing pluckily, held them there for a half mile, whin they fell astern, and Oxford, at 38 strokes per minute, shot Barnes' Bridge— three aod five-eighths miles—three lengths ahead. Along Barnes' Beach the Harvards JL refreshed their stroke, Mr. Lonmr, with river water, thereby retarding their boat. The Americans th> n tried to spurt, but found the effort ineffectual, and the Oxford*, getting more lead, eventually won the race by four lengths, easiog up in the last few strokeat arid pulling up fresh. The Oxford* arrived at the ship at five o'clock, 36 minutes and 47 seconds, making the 41 miles in 22 minutes 40i seconds. The Americans were well received at the finish, and returning, laud'd at Barnes. The race was a good one, and excited a de gree of eothusia-ni along the banks of the rivor utterly unknown in former races. The Received at New York in 23 Minutes and 13 {Seconds. NEW YORK, Aug. 27—The Oxford boat arrived at the ship at Mortlafce at five o'- clock thirty-six minutes and forty-seven sec onds. The news of the victory was received by the English eable, at the Associated Press office in this city, at ooe o'clock and four minutes, being exactly twenty-three minutes and thirteen seconds after the con clusion of the race. A messenger was obliged to carry the despatch three quarters of a mile on horseback, to the nearest tele graph station, at Mortlake. Science Advances. As soon as an article purporting to be of utility has been tested, and its merits en dorsed by public opinion, unprincipled parties endeavor to replenish their depleted purses by counterfeiting, and substituting a spuriou* for the genuine article- Some time since, mercury, in the disguise of pills, powders, Ac., was given for all diseases of the stomach and liver, while quinine was freely administered for the chills. At length HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS made its advent, and an entire new system of healing was inaugu rated. The bcnefn-iul effects of this valuable preparation were at once acknowledged, and mineral poisons suffered to sink into that ob scurity to which an enlightened age has con signed them. Thete have been many spurious Bitters palmed upon the commnnity, which, after trial, have been lound perfectly worth less, while HOSTETTER'S has proved a blessing to thousands, who owe to it their res toration to health. For many years we have watched the steady progress of HOSTET TER'S STOMACH BITTERS in public es timation, and its benificient effects as a cure for all complaints arising from the stomach, of a morbid nature, and we are free to say that it can be relied upon as a certain relief and remedy. Its proprietors have made the above preparation, after years of careful stndy and sitting, and are now reaping the reward claimed by this valuable specific, and which they so richly merit. It is the only prepara tion of the kind that is reliable in all cases, and it therefore demands the attention of the afflicted. DLTEFRIIANRFLTTIS.
