cd a profound impression in political
circles ncre, anu givo nso to serious ap
prehensions among Radical leaders in
regard to tho ruturqsuccess'ortlieirpar
ty ; which, it will bo remembered, liaj
hitherto preserved its solidity by tlio
rigor or its caucus rules. Tho dis
affection or Sprague, as manifested ,in
his spcccli tho other day, followed by
,1110 withdrawal pr six Senators rrom tho
caucus yesterday, points unerringly to
such a division or sentiment on vital
questions, as to Justify tho opinion that
tho'dqminantlmajorlty which has ruled
tho Federal Legislature as "with n rod
of iron" ror tho past nlno years, is about
to undergo tho natural process or dlsln

A MALAIUOUS MONTH.
Match, that gives us a new President, ls also
the Inaugural mo nth of many harassing disor
ders. Entangled in Us fogs are the seeds of
coughs, colds, and of thnt alternation of frigidity'
and Uro, more widely known than admired, call
cd fever and ague. Tho only way to avoid thoso
"little unpleasantnesscs,"is to render the system
strong en ough to fight off the atmospheric poison
that produces them, and the best way to endow
It with this repellent power ls to tone it with
IIOSTETE1VS STOMACH HITTERS.
If a wayfarer were credibly Informed that
rulllau was waiting at the next corner, he would
doubtless turn in his tracks, and tako a safer
ruulo to his destination, Willi just about tho
same amount nf trouble, the attacks of diseases
prevalent at thH season may be evaded, Nay,
the troublo will bo less, for drug stores Ho in
every one's route, and every respectable drug
gist In tho Union keeps on hand IIOBTETTER'I
HITTERS. Tho article ls a staple of trade, and
It would bo ns easy to find n grocery without su
gar, as the stores of an apothecary without this
popular tonto remedy.
In view of tho experience of the nation with
regard to tho article, during tho spacoof twenty
years, it seems ulmost unnecessary to recapltn
lato its merits to Americans. But as our popu
latlou ls Increasing at the rate of ncouple of mil
Hons a year, In tho nnturnl way and by Immigra
tion, It may bo as well to hint to tho rising gene
ration and now arrivals, (tho old settlers know
all about it,) that IIOSTETTEB'S STOMACH
HITTERS Is tho most wholesome and potent
vegetable tonic ever manufactured ; that it ls
specific for debility, dyspepsia, biliousness, and
mla8inatlo fevers ; that It prevents, as well as
cures, these complaints and their complications;
that It in not "bad to take," nnd ls absolutely
harmless.
