tL v.:' ::•,if4 tern and purifying
the blood. 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

Head, Ringworm, and internal Ul
cerations of the Uterus, Stomach,

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.

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.

law, the fiscal agent of the State. The State

trial of Joseph Brown, a boy eighteen years
of age, for the murder, in February last, in

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

caueo, and appointed Saturday next at the day
for argument. The case has elicited the atten

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:,

the funds of the Stale in speculations for the

is so square that even a professor of journal

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

they are successfully answered so ought the
p puler verdict in October to be. If the war
was "a failure," as Democrat's like Buckalew
assert, and if the liondiearted Democrats and
Republicans who gave up their lives to Free
dom, "died in vain," as the Rebel syrnpatir
zers declare, the short and sure way of fixing
the fact lice in Buckalew's election. There
is no use in beating about the bush In the
business, nor is It worth while for either
bloCkheads, soreheads or eopperheads to deal
in empty humbug. Let them dare answer

WAS GRANT DRUNK AT SIIILOII ?
That Slander Squelched by a Compe
taut Witness.
WASIIINOTON, D. C., Sept. 'B, 1872
Long Standing Ffinndor Silenced.
Col. Stewart, of Indiana, now in this city,
has just received a letter fri - m Gen. S. D.
Webster, Chief of Staff to Gen. Sherman dur
ing the war, in answer to one asking him, In
view of the charges that Gen Grant was in
toicated at Shiloh, to state what he knew of
Gen. Grant's condition during the two days
of the battle, which effectually disposes of
this long standing slander:
Cnicson. Sept. 4, 1872.
Col. Isaal. S. Stewart : Dear Sir—Your
note of the 2d inst. Is Just received, and In re
ply I have to state that you are authorized on
my behalf to deny In the most emphatic man
ner all'the statements of General Grant hav
ing been drunk nr in any degree under the in
fluence of liquor at the battle of Shiloh. I
was at this time Ins Chief of Staff and chief
of artillery. 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. If there are t,ny words in
which I can deny the miserable charge more
fully and distinctly I am ready to adopt them.
Very truly yours,
[Signed] J. D. W tosszszn,
Late brevet Major General volunteers, and
Chief of staff to Gen. W. T. Sherman.
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.
In the political pyramids given below, it
will be seen that the Greeley shaft is some
what higher than the Grant column, but Its
base is very weak—indeed, the whole struc
ture is exceedingly rotten—and liable to fall
at any moment.
