It has stood the test of years, with a con „”' stantlygrowingrep utation,--:"( based on its intrinsic Yirtues, and sustained by its re markable cures. So mild as to be safe and beneficial to children, and yet so searching. as to effectually purge out the great cor ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous and syphilitic contamination. Impurities, or diseases that have lurked in the system for years, soon yield to this powerful anti dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful cures, many of , which are publicly known, of Scrofula, and all scrofulous diseases, Ulcers, Eruptions, and eruptive dis orders of the skin, Tumors, Blotches, Boils, Pimples, Pustules, Sores, St. Anthony's Fire, Rose or Erysipe las, 'Fetter, Salt lib , Scald Head, Ringworm, and internal Ul cerations of the Uterus, Stomach, and Liver. It also cures other com plaints, to which it would not seem especi ally adapted, such as Dropsy, Dyspep sia, Fits, Neuralgia, Heart Disease, Female Weakness, Debility, and Leucorrhcca, when they are manifesta tions of the scrofulous poisons. It is an excellent restorer of health and strength in the Spring. By renewing the appetite and vigor of the digestive organs, it dissipates the depression and listless lan guor of the season. Even where no disorder appears. people feel better, and live longer, 'for cleansing the blood. The system moves on with renewed vigor and a new lease of life. PREPARED BY Dr. J. C.

Phlleuterphfa ALLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT EMBE R 2 1 01 1 5 1's 11? THE ISSUE IN TILE STATE The October election is to decide whether the State gbvernMent, as an entirety, is to re main in the hands ntllepublicaus or be ear rendered into the keeping of the Democratic party. It is to indicate something more than a preference for one set of candidates before any other set, because in such a contest mere personal considerritirns sink into comparative insignificance. The candidates fairly repre sent the principles of the parties whose stand ands they bear. The Democratic candidate for Governor exactly typille4 t'm spirit of the D mocracy, which sympathised with rebellion and omitte I nothing during the tear that could embarass Abe Federal anti State government. Publicly and privately, Mr. Buckalew went through that period in our history protesting against every important war measure. Ills Democracy was the Democracy of James Buchanan and Jeremiah S. Black, and it has not changed. Ile still believes that the subjection of the south by force was unconsti tutional. Ile holds to the ultra State-rights doctrines which made rebellion possible. His highest idea of patriotism is strict subservi ence to party behest. His devotion to party is so profound that he cannot be better titan party. Ile has occasionally shown symptoms of impulses above the Democratic grade, but these sympt tms have bet n I r ompily rem eased. Under most favorable circuinsbUlCVS he can not be expected to favor any improto went of the policy which had become chronic with his party prior to its national downfall, and continues chronic. with his party arlittre it has local sway. The creation of the debt of this Common wealth was mainly the work of the Democrat ic party. The reduction of that debt has been the work of the Republican party. When the Republicans took the helm the debt was about forty millions. Had the war for national lite not been forced upon the country by the Dent oeratic party, the debt would have been retitle ett very nearly one-halt, so that not more than twenty millions would remain to be paid to day. The policy of paying debts is,in tt pub lic sense, peculiarly Republican. The policy of contracting debts is as peculiarly Democrat ic. Thus, in an era itf profound peace, the national debt rose front about thirty millions 1n.1857 to about sixty•tive millions in 1860. That is to say, under the flannel tl policy tj the adminiAratioa of James lb - commit the debt of the nation rather more than doubled. In the eyes of Mr. Buckalew Mr. Ilnehanan was the embodiment of Dem ocratic statesmanship. 1f permitted to con. trol State finances, he would probably take up Democratic policy where Mr. Buchanan left It. He is an itnitator, not OM originator. He can only wo It alter Demacratic models. The people know whether they have had enough of that sort of financial management or not. If they have not had enough of it they should vote for Mr. Buckalew. But if they have had enough, or too Much, of it,they will vote fia. General Hartrat Ahd if the people favor the employment of legislative appropriations to further the politi cal ambition ()luny man, they should by all means vote for Mr. Buckalew. If he did not bargain for the support of a faction of the Re publican party in his management of the Mc. Clure.Gray Senatorial contest, then facts and obvious indications no longer speak truth. Every sane man knows that if the testimony in that case proved anything, it proved that neither party was entitled to the seal, or that it belonged to Mr. Gray. Ilad Sir. Buckalew's committee remanded the whole subject to the people of the district it would have escaped the suspicion, since tendered a certainty, of a bargain—one of the prospective ends of which was the support of a Republican faction for the present candialicy of its chairman. Again, if the people of this state regard a man who used his position in the Senate of the United States to hinder the pr. vcution of the war for the suppression of the Rebellloma safe man for Govereor, they will find such a man in Mr. Buckalew. If the colored voters in the State prefer n man who voted to pre vent their becoming citizens, they will find such a man in Mr. Buckalew. If anytmdy wants a man whose record during the darkest hour in the history of the Republic was so ut terly bad as to require hourly defence at this time—ll anybody is in search of such a man, Bucknlew is the very man sought. But If the people prele_a umo who lola be, n steadily reducing the burden of State indebt edness, and all but abolished taxation of pro ductive industry for State purpos e s during the lust six years, they will find such a aunt in General Ilartranft. If the people prafer a man whose record during the war is its own invulnerable defence, they will find such a man in General Ilartranft. Lie had no mei. deotal interviews w ith rebel coMsaries; and When lie met such persons he slat them his compliments in the shape of shot and shell. There is no question about General ilartranfi's position from 1861 to 18135, nor since. It the people want a man who, while accepting place and pay under the Federal government, not only did not meanly seek to stab the gov ernment, but did openly assault its foes ; it the people want to honor such a man, they can do it by voting kr General flartrantt. And we take no particular risk when we pre diet that the people of Pennsylvania will show that they prefer General llartran It to Mr. Buckalew in October. THE YERKES AFFIDAVIT I=l A. statement Is published purporting to he an t affidavit of U. T. Yerkes, setting forth that he had paid General Ilartranft f 2,700, profits made by hint in negotiating parches a I ' d State bonds for the Slate sinking Fund. ' , II such affidavit was ever made by Mr. Yerki a The name appended to it is not his signature. We give an emphatic contradiction to its gennine• ness. It is a fabrication or a forgery. Mr. Yerkes is now in prison and eenntit 'sake lids contradiction in person; but we s.teak what we know when we say that he would brand it as it deserves if tie bail his personal liberty, or were petsonally accessible. Thu tact that the pretended affidavit is a forgery is also proved by the testimony of Mr. Yerkes' confidential clerk and taunt kiteper, and that of E. M. Lewis, President 'of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank. The Flu mire' and Mechanics' Bank, is, by law, the fiscal agent of the State. The State loans, on their face, are payable and transfer able there and there only, and the interest On them is payable there only. All the intr. chases of loans for the State by the commis sioners of the sinking fund were tootle by this hank, :.cling officiallly for the State, and Mr. Yerkes was employed by this bank as its broker, In go into the market soil make par chases; and the evidence shows that Yerkes Was not employed by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund at ad, nor did he receive any commissions from them. The bank paid Mtn for what lie did' for it, and the bank turned over the bonds to Ito Commissioners of the Sinking Fund at what they cost in the open market. 'The money to purchase them was furnished by the batik, and no part of the State deposit with Yerkes was used for tai is purpose. All the charges current antinst Ilartranft are mere repetitions if those made in an article from the New York Sun, and these have b en A ilres,ing which i s t once agrevalde, healthy, ;I'll .1 elreet nal pre , .rving the hair.

Bogard, reporter for the Sun, to show that they came from Payne; and Payne's testimony shows thathe got them from Strahan, Evaus's Attorney—a New York sayster, who trumped them up to serve his client. The whole brood of charges cone direct 11'0111 Evans and tire not supported by a sin gle • par ticle of tt stimony. P TTS VILLE, Sept. 7.—This morning, in the iminal Court of Schuylkill county, in the trial of Joseph Brown, a boy eighteen years of age, for the murder, in February last, in Washington township, this county, of Daniel S. Kramer, a wealthy farmer, and his aged wife, the jury brought in a verdict of murder in the first degree. The trial comMOlCell 011 fuesday of last week, and has continued ten days, during which time voluminous evi :once of a circumstantial character has been adduced and wasof that the jury required but little tone in making up their mind, having been out ache box but fifty minutes. During the entire trial the prisoner main tained the utmost Indifference, and appeared to be totally oblivious to what was going on around him ; and after the verdict had been rendered he assumed an air of braggadocio that could hardly be imagined by any who did not witness his stolid indifference. Ills coun sal moved an arrest of judgment and for a new trial, and Judge Green grated his coun sel until Wednesday next, In-which to show caueo, and appointed Saturday next at the day for argument. The case has elicited the atten tion of the entire community from the day of the commission of this most heinouscrime,and the verdict is received with entire satiefaction by all. Should Brown be hung, It will he the second man hung In Schuylkill county, the Drat being a negro who was hung at Orwiga. burg In 1845. Presidential Campaign! PENNSYLVANIA BUCKALEIrS FRIENDS I' CAN ADA. ==l Buckalew has publicly admitted that he conferred with the Rebel Agents in Canada. That he want to Canada as a-bnnmittee from the United S ales Scott t. That Jerry Black was authorized to confer with them by special permission of our Government,and he Inform ed Buckalew that he might talk in 1110111. This is Buckalew's own version of illlPrVil•W With 111129, traitors. He admits that he hati no authority , except from Jerry Black, Bout.- nan's Attorney General, who gave. as his opinion, that he, Buchanan, pmesst d no pow er to coerce the 800 States. The 11UP31.1011 natnrolly arises, why did Bu-kalete, without direct pt , rthission, desire to have an interview with these traitors? That is the qm•stion No loyal man would seek such an interview. Be says it took place in presence of his wife. Just the person of all others that would not expose any treasonable conversation that might take place. The following testimony token during the trial ttf the assasestni oh Abraham Lincoln, which we find in the Ilasrishurgh Telegraph, shows the character of the persons with whom Buckalew voluntally sought an interview: Matre , Villlany of Iltaeltaleit'a Friends—The Herder of Lincoln a Part of their escheats—The Preaddent warned for 11e,:truellon—Infected Clothing Sent 111,11 by Is prem., A• 1 at Prrsent—Thr So oral Pr 44444 The enormity of Bucksle Wft treason can Only he on asui ed by the atrocious demos of the rebels lie skulked to Canada to sec and con sult, and it would seem that their crimes are grosser and more fiendish the mire light we get upon them.

Godfrey Josephs Ilyams, sworn —I am a na tive of London England; about the middle of Decomber 1803, I made the acquaintance of Dr. Blackburn; he asked me it 1 would go South and serve the Confederacy; I said I Would; I was to stay in Toronto and go on with my legitimate business until I heard from him; I had been out to take a pair of boots to n customer of mine, and when I re turned home my wile had a letter lor me from Dr. Blackburn; I read the letter; the let ter naitructed me to proceed to Montretl and thence tf, Halifax to tneet Dr. Blackburn ; It was dated Havana, May 10, 1804; when Dr. Blackburn arrived at Halifax he sent to the Farmers' Ilotel where I was staying, for me; I went to see him, and he told me some goods were on board the steamer Alphia; the second aflicer, told me to get an express wagon and take it to the Cunard wharf ; 1 did so, and there got eight trunks and a valise ; then went to Dr. Blackburn and told him 1 got the goods off the steamer; be told me the five trunks tied up with ropes were the ones for me to take, and asked me if I would take the valise into the States, and send it by ex press, with an accompanying It ttor, as a pres ent to President Lincoln I declined. Dr. Blackburn, by way of caution, asked me be fore leaving if I had the yellow fever? tin my answering no, he said "You must have a pre ventive against catching it. You mush get same camphor and chew it an .I get some strong cigars The strongest you can get and be sure to wear gloves when handling things. When I arrived in Washington 1 turned over fire tronks to W. L. Wall &Co., commission merchants. I) r.

All these goods had been cure fully infected in Bermuda with yellow fever, small pox and other infectious discuses. The goods in the valise which were intended tor Mr. Lincoln, had been infected both with yellow fever and small pox ; I afterwards heard It had been sent to the President ; on disptsing of it I imineduitely left Waq.hington and went to Hamilton Canada; in the wait ing room there I tuet Mr. Holcombe and Mr. Clement C.

That the Philadelphia and Heading Hail. road company bought Buckalew's nomination over George \V.

Bad—Very 11:0,--Positively Gloomy The Wsshington correspondent of the Cin cinnati Ginimerentl, (Liberal) has also caught iLif the first symptoms were in the d °krill re mark : "There seems to be a feeling, quite prevalent among both the supporters and op• pnuenls of Greeley fil' Ile Is gradually losing. ground. The feeling organ to manifest itself about a week . or ten days Aga, and is not con- • fined to Washington." Then the case devel ops itself in the following: •' It cannot be denied that those who are conducting the campaign on the part of the Lila rale tire.letting it go by default, and the HMI they are made aware of it the better it will he for the cause. All the Greeley coin matters seem to be waiting, delaying, putting off the work which must be dine if the party hopes for success. They seem to be blind or Ignorant of the fact that organization is neces• stay. • • • It has always been claimed, and justly, too, ns I believe, that the Democrats have bees equalled in Inc tact with which they managed their canvasses. The party has al ways beim a model of organization, and Ulm been its chief pride since it came Into life. But where is it hi.day ?

The Journal alluded to (I, Glares that 'he North American has only advocated Hartratift by negntive means. The Tribune may he pardoned or calling an unqualified Indorsement of the public and private charitc• ter of a man negative commendation. It may be pardoned fur urging this view 01 that h.at ter because of late it has taken to advocating men for place who hove very bad reputations for honor and honesty. But it must not judge other .Tournals by itself. When the North American recorativmds a man as entirely. worthy the suffrages of nn enlighte ed people, it intends positively to advocate his Minn. Anil it has trout the first, and will continue to the end to advocate the election of General Ilartranrt as a man eminently worthy of pub lic trust. In alluding to the preposterous charges pre• fared by the opposition against General Bar. trail ft the Tribune ask;: "Is Ilartraell guilty ?" WO reply posiiively, that he is not guilty. The pretended Yerlw "MB Malts" are bold and unscrupulous f o rgeries, perpe trated by the men whom the Tribune ranks as champions of 'Morin. They are as trick of desperation. The "affidavits" themselves are weak and could scarcely damage anybody even were :hey genuine. But they are not genuine. Mr. Verkas says that affidavits were presented to hint but that he refused to sign them. No longer ago than Wednesday IT' last week, Mr. Yerkes most positively denied, to a reporter for the livening Telegraph, that the charges contained in those affidavits were true. To the direct questiou—"Did you and some or the State officials speculate w ith funds of the commonwealth tor their benefit, as charged In the newspapers ? ' Mr. Yorks re• plied : "That is not true." The question note turns 'Mon the credibility ot the witnes?. Admittibg, for the sake of ar4ument, that the "affidavits" are genuine, Mt. Yerkes is the wine as called by the I nends of Mr. Buckalew. Ile positively denies making a ny MB Myna:, and he positively declares taut be did not use the funds of the Stale in speculations for the benefit of any State ollictals. This language is so square that even a professor of journal into cannot misapprehend it • and since the opposition have tried to put Mr. Yerkes 011 ti e witness-stand, they cannot he permitted to discredit their own chosen wit nes,. W e now turn to the testimony of Mr. Lewis by which it attempted to sustain the charges against General llarirtult, 11', after readirg that testimony, any man of commoh 5C1151 . , leavened with common honesty. can lied any support of the charges, we have yet to make his acquaintance. Mr Lewis himself says that he don't Lee htnv the Stile officers could have derived any profit from the transactions to which he testiffi.s. Neither can anybody else, not determined to discover fraud where none exists, see how any pr, hit could have inured to State officials by the said tranSac. dons. BM we do understand how a an so criminally reckless as to forge affidavits, for any,purpose whatever, is prone to believe evil rather than good of the purest men. That is natural: And it is also natural fur men steeped in (rands and speculations, and who are only known as corrupters of Legislatures and po litical adventurers, to disbelieve as something unprecedented, in the possibility of any man codirolling public finance without degenerat ing into nc ~,,, ,non W., commend this view to the Tribune, becaus...dt relates to the notorious characters who are advocating the election of Horace Greeley to the Preildency of the Republic. And 'now let us dispose or the last . charge against the Integrity of General Hartranti. It was asserted in a communication published in the Tribune on the '2Bth of February, 1979, that General Humana and State freasurer Mackey hail been guilty of malteasance in (id lice. Other cOmmtudeations ni Electing upon these ()Metals were publishe lin the I ribune and Sun. A joint committee was amminted to invistigate these charges. It precetand to Mschapm its duty, and reported that it had called afore it all of the witnesses iv hose tes timony seemed likely to throw any light upon the transactions charged, and that upon care ful inquiry of witnesses under oath, it found that the specific charges made in those commit, nications were not true. W c have now to state that th s report was written by Senator William A. Wallace, a Democrat of Dcinn• crats, and a fervid supporter or Horace Grr , e ley. The 1 ribune will find the acquittal It re cited on page 19/26 of the Legislative Journal. And finally, to set the Tribune entirely right touching cur confidence in General FlartrsnO, lei us say Hatt. when 1::e North American recommends a man for the :Mirages or the peopl it does so I.ll.ldersNlltlingly and Whole le ,irtedly.

Mr. Stewart said that It is well known that Lehigh has not conceeded the candidate to Montgomery. He expltan the history of the party for ten years past in regard to the congressional question. When the vote was taken by districts the delegates from Whitemarsh declined to vote. 'I hey were followed by John J. C. Harvey of Abington, late member of the Legislature, and John J.

The refusal to appoint Mr. the mover of the resolution, on this worm ittee, created some remark.

Gowan, President of the Refuting Railroad, for Delegate at Large to the Constitutional . Convention, and by the same party that seeks to make Receiver of Taxes of this city, Mr. Henry G Gowan, another member of the same Family, Ring and influence.

It is charged, and we challenge successful contradiction, that Charles R. Buckalew, for reasons that will be manifest to the most or (Unary understanding and for reasons that are certainly Well understood by himself, is sup ported and defended by Evans, Paytte,Miller, Forney, and every scoundrel who started m the foul fraud by which the State of Penney l• rants was robbed of five hundred thousand dollars, anti that he Is opposed by Ilurtran who exdosed the infamous transactlon,and by liartranit's friends, who are determined that the scandalous truth shall not only be laid bare as to all of them, but that every one en• gaged in dint flagrant conspiracy cud division of plunder shall be exposed, arraigned, con icted and punished for their infamous crime.

I breakfasted with the general at Savannah, on Sunday, the first day of the battle, went ..on board the boat with him, at about eight and a half o'clock, in person, and was necessarily with him except at Intervals of absence on duty dur ing the whole day. I laid down with him long afier dark at:night on a small parcel of hay, which the Quartermaster put down to keep us out of the mud, in she rear of the ar tillery line on the left, and I never heard till long afterwards, of any idea entertained by anybody that he was drunk, nor did I see him drink daring the day, and ant sure he was perfectly sober, as he was seif•posesssed and collected during the varying fortunes of that celebrated battle.

POLITICAL NOTES Somebody has Just conceived Horace Grec• ley to be the " unstarched child of the press and plow." The rumor that Horace Greeley has invest ed $3 75 In a-new pair of presidential specta cles wants confirmation. The London Times says the "mouth dis , ease" in spreading among the English cattle. So it is among the Greeley cattle in this coup• try. Here it takes the shape of lying. A Boston letter to the Springfield Republi can says it 's the opinion of those who know him best, that Mr. Sumner Is not likely lone• to survive ; indeed, his death at any moment would cause no surprise among his intimate friends. A correspondent of the Chicago Inter-Ocean consoles the readers of that journal with the remarks that" G.eeleyism is a fog that will soon blow over." Doesn't need to blow over. It's getting so thin everybody can see through Andrew Johnson's opening speech in his Tennestee campaign was a great success. Al• ter the ex-President had concluded, and ns he was packing up his voluminous documents, a long haired man, with a plantation handker chief round his neck, mounted a bench and yelled out : "Oh, Mr. President"—The crowd told him to "dry up" "get down," etc., but he proved not to be a drying up sort. He was after information. "I want to ask yer a ques tion, Mr. Johnson," he continued in a loud voice. "Certainly" said A. J. "I will an-, swer." "Then,' said Long flair, "did yer or did yuo not, during the war, say 'when yer bear a man prating about the constitution spot him for a traitor ?" Johosou—"l have no recollection of saying that. I was prating a good deal about the constitution at that time myself." This was received with cheers,and the long-haired man withdrew.
