Democracy—Courage, H istory and
nythology.
.....Thesecent.election, resulting as it did, •
: in a signal victory for, the Republican
party, has overshadowed despondent Dem
ocrats in a cloud of mist, gloom and de
spair.' The classical contributor to ,the
Columbia (Pa.) Herald, has met one who
ieso utterly 'demoralized that he is willing
to submit for all coming time to the rule
of Radicals, even if that rule . be in so
called defiance of the action, or the will
of the people. This classical writer ex
horts his weak desponding brethren to be
in good cheer; and learn ' the lessons
taught by the. examples of the ancient
heroes, who figure so conspicuously in
Anthon's Classical Dictionaryprodigies
of Democratic valor and endurance. We
are told that when XerxeS with his mil
lions of Barbarians invaded Gretce, Di
eneces, a Spartan, rejoiced over the show
ers of darts, which they hirrled into the
the air, because they obscured the sun,
and would allow the Greeks to fight in
the shade. From this we infer thatwhen
the Xerxes of Mauch Chunk hurled his
golden javelins at that Spartan, surnamed
Mutchler, whom the Altoona Vindicator'
pronounced an uncompromising foe of
this modern Xerxes, the Spartan fought
it:it/re-shade of Xerxes' javelins and ob
tained for him an easy—ilefeat. Take
courage frOM this, ye Spartans. There
fell a brave man.
Next comes the modern Themistocles
over from New York, on the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad ; then Leonidas with his
army of repeaters from Baltimore, who,
by their bravery in the Fourth ward,
taught their enemies ' that voting often
was better than voting . ,-C4ly. .All these
historical heroes are Marshalled 'before the
'desponding as so manj'iiistraides of devo
tion and energy. It is'right and eminent—
lypropetto search -the pages of ancient
'atitFMOditiiihia*y„ -f and lay 'then' under
contribiiiiim"for-such metal& instances of
- valoianithe,roic endurance. But let 'us
not stop Search mythology, read
its lesson, study its m orals, and take ceur
'age therefrom. Recall the fabled labors
of Hercules; how he killed the lion of
Names, and carried the dead body to
Mycense ; how he' destroyed the -Lernm
an hydra, which had nine heads, eight of
t = them mortal, and one in the, middle im
ktnietil ; bow he brought into the pres
mee-of Eurystheus, a stag famous for its
'incredible swiftness and golden horns;
I how he 'did other woad erful things, com
pleting his twelfth and last task by bring
ing to the earth the three-beaded .clog
Cerberus. Recall the story of Hesperus,
the great astronciner, who, when ascend.
- lag Mount-lA:ilia for the purpose of mak
jog' observations, was blown away . by the
tempest • and seen -no more. 'Read the
story of Hector, Paris, Deiphubus,
Tv:dins, Polites, Cassandra, Poly . xe 7 . l
na and• the other eleven children of Priam
`Suld"lreembaz- Then come down to the
heroes of modern mythology—Pendleton i
POmeroy,• Seymour, Hoffman, Andrew
Johnson distributing constitutions and
flags, and take 'courage, ye fainting Dem
ocrats, gather the golden fleece, place it
in the archives of Clearfield, station the
modern Hercules of coffee-pot fanie as the
'guardian of the sacred treasure, and rest
:till the clarion notes of the warrior's trum
pet calls you to arms.

An important witness for the Common

A Giant lifo-ax.
Northern and Western ,New York—
the land of national hoaxes— has groaned
and -brought forth another wonder, which
has even drawn out the Trtbutte editorial

investigations have shown to be nothing
but a statue made of gypsum, the work of
a crazy Canadian sculptur. What a very
singular co-incidence that this new thing
under the sun manifested itself in this
fore-doomed laud of humbugs. Here
anti-Masonry had its origin, and the Mor
gan tale mystified the innocents of town
and country; here Joe Smith dug up the
miraculous tablets which. furnish the su
perstructure of mormon faith; here exists
that society, who uphold a community of

My Experience sta.a Candidate.
=
[The following, from the Sunday .Repub
tic, is a spicy resume of the pleasures and
displeasures of a candidate for office in
Lancaster county, known personally to
many of our readers.)
" During the recent race
,for office in
the county where a confiding tailor trusts
me for my clothes, I was a candidate for
nomination. It is not material what the
office; the least said about it the better.
I was not solicited by numerous wealthy
and influential citizens to run. I regret
to say that a long letter signed by prowl
nen,tmen in the party was not published,
requesting me, in behalf of the tax-payers
of the county, to allow my name to be
,used to.save the bleeding county. In fact,
as I look ',back' over the stormy past,
wealthy and influential citizens did. not
seem ,to feel that importance attached to
my nomination which should have charac
terized their actions.
Holever, there was one man keenly
alive to the that that the office mow-a-days
does not seek the man,-but that the man
must seek the office, and move around
lively, too. I need .scarcely add that indi
vidual was myself. ' •
Remembering the remark of the father
of. George Washington, or •some other
man, that " the largest
,pole knocks the'
persimmons,',la nd inspired by the truth of
the classic proverb,' Perseverantia amni
vincit," I announced myself. There are
times in the history of every man -when,
with judgment obscured by some mental
hallucination, and when, misled by some
metaphybical distortion of his mental fac
ulties, he makes a bigger fool of, himself
than. usual. This happened to be one of
those particular times in my history.
I was never so much sought for in my
life. It is pleasant to be sought for in so
ciety, but as a candidate it is likely to be
expensive. I met Jones, from Mulberry
Aownship, on the street the day 'after my
• name appeared.- " Well,'DoWay,my boy,"
he said, familiarly; " a candidate, see
I was just saying the other day to Brown,
at the store ; if that DeWsenberry ever
runs for °Mee 'he is our 'man: . A .repre
'•sentative man, sir ; and we will go for you
strong." I was delighted, for he was
counted a prominent - and influential. poli
tician. A saloon Niras'near.by. , We went
in. I asked up Jones, and was, instantly
surrounded by a dozen men unknOtO to
me, but who recognized me they
crowded up to the bar and, pledged them
selves to my support. Of course they
were invited to take a little liquid .suste
nance. They did.- Of course they did,
two or three times. Turning to leave,
Jones drew me aside and asked if I would
object to endorsing a note for thirty days
—a small favor. Oh, certainly I would,
for was not that district promised me ? Re
turning to my office to attend to neglected
business; a mild-looking man, with• pale
sandy whiskers and subdued appearance
generally, arose and blandly informed me
that their church was in debt; needed ma
terial aid.. My name had been spoken of
favorably among the members; my char
acter as a citizen was well knowu, ancl- 7 -,
Isnbscribed five dollars. Flattered by the
prospect of baying the support of the re
ligious element of the party, I Was indulg
ing in some atrial architecture, when a
party of half a dozen entered. 'A glance
at dam, collectively and then individually,
satisfied sac that they did not belong to the
religious portion of the party. They be
longed to a fire company. Fire compan
ies are accused of a great many things, but
I never heard one accused of piety—cer
tainly not in Philadelphia. The "boys"
had heard that I was a candidate, and had
dropped in to tell me that the fellows who
ran with the " Big One " were going for
me "heavy" in their ward. I, thanked
them warmly for their kind support, and
hoped that their ward would give a good
account of itself. During the conversa
tion, the boys hung themselves loosely on
the chairs, recklessly placed upon my wal
nut desk feet that had moved in many a
run, and every moment or two threw
streams of tobacco juice to different: cor
ners of the room. Presently, a veteran of
a hundred fires and fights, wearing a very
large black silk tie, and having a shiny
plug hat, cocked very much over one eye,
mysteriously motioned me to follow him
into the back office. Closing the door
carefully, he cocked his bat, if possible, a
little more, and thrusting his hands so far
into his pockets that I feared it was their
last appearance, he said, confidentially,
" Colonel, how much can you put into our
ward ? I can promise you a hundred'
votes. Takes stamps, though, youltmqw,'
be said, moving his fitigers significantly.
Realizing his object after some thought, I
informed him that I did not think I would
put and stamps into that ward at present.
Such was the admirable presence of mind
of the venerable bleeder" that he moved
not a muscle, but stepping to the door re
marked that perhaps I could "set them
up " for the boys„ "_Set them up ?"prc :
peated, inquiringly. " Yes; treat to beer;
some more of the fellers outside, all going
for you." Retreat was impossible. I led
off to the nearest saloon, followed by a
crowd which increased_ very steadily,
everybody asking his friend along. " Set
ting 'em up for the boys" I found rather
expensive. Tearing loose from the crowd
that clung to me with much enthusiasm,
I got back torny office in time to meet a
delegation of the " Big X," who were
just looking for me, as they. were taking
subscriptions to procure a mother-of-pearl
hose carriage, and patent-leather hose with
silver rivets for the next parade. The
members of the "Big X " were for me to
a man, and of course my name for a ten
would increase their enthusiasm. Time
rolled on, and as the day approached wire
pullers set up "slates." One day rumor
said;l. was on the." slate." Then people
opposed to rings swore they would not
support rue. Next day report had-it,that
I was not in the ring; and my friends
said if I was not, my chances were pqor, l
Rival candidates raised the report that I
was on the temperance slate, and all the
liquor men swore they would not support
any man opposed to the freedom of the
msophagus and the imbibing of benzine .
I came out in a card denying any sympa
thy with the temperance men, and they
then declared that any man who was op
posed to the use of water as a beverage
was not fit for the office. Amid this ex
-citemebt, the .day of nominations came,
and in the grand lottery of offices I drew
a prize. I was triumphantly elected, but
at a tremendous cost. I had Subscribed
to thirteen churches, mission schools, and
orphan asylums, helped to buy new hose,
steamers, carriages, and paid to send on
excursions, 'for their own amusement,
seven fire companies, paid the note . of
Jones which was protested, furnished to
thirsty crowds eleven thousand four bites
dred• and twenty-five drinks at prices
ranging from five to twenty cents, accord
ing to the locality and different tastes of
the friendly imbibers, came down means .
for " work " in half a dozen wards, and
paid heavy printing bills to all the papers.
'After the nomination I hoped to adopt the
motto of a distinguighed pioneer who set
tled a 'western State, and said, " Here let
me rest." But here an enthusiastic con
stituency will not let WC rest, for, after
paying a heavy tax to the county commit
tee, Ban - daily•solicited for appointments
and subsCriptions."
:" Uneasy lies the head that Wears a
crown." Who wouldn't be a candidate?

SPECIAL NOTICES.
LET US PROTECT OURSELVES
The physical structure of the strongest human
being is vulnerable everywhere. Our bodies aro
endowed by nature with a certatn negative power,
which protects them, to some extent, from unwhole
some influences; but this protection is imperfect,.
and cannot be safely relied on in unhealthy regions,
or under circumstances of more than ordinary dan
ger. Therefore, it Is wisdom; it is prudence; it is
common sense to provide against such contingen
cies, by taking an Antidote In advance; in other
words,by fortifying the system with HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS—the most complete protective
against all the epidemic and en lemic maladies that
has ever been administered in any country. As a
remedy for Dyspepsia. there is no medic ne that
will compare with it. Whoever suffers the pangs of
indigestion, anywhere on the fare of the cai ill where
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS can be pro
cured, does so voluntarily; for, as surely as truth
exists, this invaluable Temie and Alternative would
restore his disordered stomach to a healthy condi
tion. To the nervous It is also especially recom
mended, and in eases of confirmed constipation it
also anbrds speedy and permanent.
In all cases of fever and ague the BITTERS is
more potent than any amount of quinine, while the
most dangerous cases of bilious fever yield to Its
wonderful properties. Those who have tried the
medicine will never use another, for any of the ail
ments which the HOSTETTER BITTERS professes
to subdue. To those who have not made the experi
ment we col dirtily recommend an early application,
to the BITTERS wheneyer they me stricken by di
sease of the digestive organs. [sent-694(w

PAIN KILLER
N.:ll3Sat., April 17,1866.
Masans. Pansy Davits S: Son,
CENTLEMEN:— * * • I want to say a little more about
the Pain Killer. I consider it a very valuable medi
cine, and always keep it on hand. I have traveled a
good deal since I have been in Kansas, and never
without taking it with me. In my practice I used it
freely for the Asiatie-Cholera in 1949, and with better
necess than a ith any other medic ine..l also used
it here for Cholera in 1855, with the same good re
sults. A. BUNTING,
" I regre t to say that the Cholera has pre
vailed here of late to great extent. For the last three
weeks, from ten to fifty or sixty raw eases each day
have been reported. I Filo tad add that the Pam
Hiller sent recently from the ➢fission House, has
been used with considerable success during this
epidemic. If taken in season, it is generally effec
tual in checking the disease.

SPECIAL. NOTICE.
sclitNcK , s pui.moNic SYRUP
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, will cure Con
sumption. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia. if taken
according to directions. They are all thrm to be
taken at the same time. They cleanse the stomach,
relax the liver, and put it to work; then the appetite
becomes good; the food digests and makes good
blood; the patientbegius to grow in flesh; the dis
eased matter ripens in the lungs, and the patient
outgrows the disease and gets well. This is the
only way to curo consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J. 11. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, motes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of
. pulmonary consumption. The Pul
monie Syrnprtpens the morbid matter in the tunes,
nature throws It off Ly on easy expectoration, for
when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight conch
will throw it Mr, and the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills
must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the food will make
good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, re
moving all obstructions. relax the dncla of the gall
bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon
relieved ; the stools will show what the Pills can do;
nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a
deadly poison which is very dangerous to use ex
cept who great care), that will unlock a gall-bladder
and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's
Mandrake Pills,
- -
Liver Complaint is cue of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the alkali in the :3w:weed, which
this prescr ' ption is made of, assists the stomach to
throw out the gastric juice, to dissolve the food with
the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made into good blood
without fermentation or souring in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure con
sumption is, they try - to do too much : they give
medicine to atop the cough, to stop chills, to stop
night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they de
range the whole digestive powers, locking up the se
cretions. and eventually the patient sinks and dies.
Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does notary to stop
a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Remove the
cause, and they will all stop of their own accord. No
one Can be cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint;
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, Lllecrated Throat, un
less the liver and stomach are made healthy.
If a person nas consumption, of course the lung.
are in some way diseased,either tubercle., abscesses,
bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or the lungs
are a mass of inflammation and fast decaying. In
such eases what must be done? It is not only the
lungs that are wasting, but it is the whole body. The
stomach and liver have lost their power to make
blood out of food. Now the only chance its to take
Schenck's three medicines, winch will bring up a
tone to the stomach, the patient will hewn to want
food, it will digest easily and make good blood; then
the patient begins to gain to fl esh, and as snout as
the body begins to grow,the lungs continence to heal
up, and the patient gets fleshy and well. This is the
only way to cure constunpuon.
When there in 110 lung disease, and only Liver
Colllplatnt anti Dyspepsia, selterick's Seaweed 'I on ic
and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without the Pul
monte Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all
biliams complaints, as they are perfectly barmiest.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed tart inter]. upted health
for many years poet, and now weighs 9.2.5 poarals,
was wrested away to a tuere skeleton, in the very last
outgo of Pulmonary Consumption, his phy,l , :iau,
lowing pronounced his ease hopeless and abandoned
him to its fate. Be was cured by the aforesaid
medicines, and since his recovery many thousands
similarly inflicted have used Dr. Schenck's preuara.
