A meeting 4)1 . the Democratic voters of

THE annual city and township elections
will take place on the third Friday of the
mootii, the 20th inst., and are already bee:in
ning to excite wide interest, from the 'import
ance of the local questionsont stake. Nearly :
every community in the, county is staggering
under a heavy load of debt and taxation, and
the all essential issue to he decided is how to
secure relief, and at the same time continue
do make the progress in improvement which
appears to be demanded by the spirit of the
age. The candidates who can place them
selves upon a satisilictory platform in both
these respects are the ones most likely to be
successful, without regard to their personal
positions or political affinities. In this city,
it appears probable that the contest will be
wolly upon the improvement issue—one side
sustaining the action of Council, and the
other directly pitted against it. The so-called
"anti-improvement" men allege that they are
for a moderate system of municipaihnprove
ment, but complain that the one now in pro
gress is upon too extensive a scale, and will
entail a heavier burden than the people can
bear. The improvement men, on the other
hand, contend that nothing has been done
which was not absolutely needed, and argue
that the rapid growth of .the city in popula
tion and wealth will soon enable it to extri
cate' itself from the liabilities contracted,
without serious difficulty. It is not improb
able that a party will spring up, taking a
medium position, and headed by men who
are not identified with either of the other in
terests. The combinations on both sides look
formidable, and, at this day, a keen prophet
would be required to foretell which will meet
with success. While the improvement and
an ti-improYement factions are wrangling,
there are not a few of both the Democratic
and Republican parties who favor making
the fight op clear political grounds. In that
event, the names:of Joseph McCarter, C. M.
Tibbals and John Genshehner are thentioned
for Mayor upon the Democratic side, and M.
It. Barr, John R. Cochran and Wm. S. Brown
upon the Republican. -A few more-days will
develop matters fully, and by. the time our
.next paper goes to press the representatives
of each set of antagonistic opinions will be .
placed in the field, to run the gauntlet of the
ballot-box on Friday.

A meeting of those who do not sustain the
above movement is to be held at the Court
House this (Thursday) evening, commencing
at 7 1-2 o'clock. We believe it is proposed to
put a full ticket in the field for Mayor and
Councilmen. A number Of independent
candidates are proposed for various offices, a
li,t of whom will appear in our next issue.
IF business is dull there is the greater im:
portancc of systematic, persistent advertising.
It is only occasionally that a man is . found
who fully appreciates its value as the great
development of the power which brings buyer
arid seller in direot and speedy communica
tion. Many a man has already been made
?iclt through the instrumentality of a judi
cious display of Printer's Ink, and many
more are yet to follow. Advertising is but
in its infancy; but the day will come when a
man will as soon think of working without
hands, or Walking without feet, as'of suc -
without advertising.
EDITOR OBSERVER-A spirited contest has
been going on for some time in the East
Ward, between the various aspirants for ju
dicial honors, and were it not for the little
excitement occasioned by this: "sectional
struggle" we should scarcely realize that our
municipal election is so near at hand.
George D. Buckley, Esq., seems to be the
popular candidate for Justice of the Peace,
and in consequence of the apparent certainty
of his election, many voters in the kipper dis
trict are'asking "Who is Mr. Buckley ?" in
answer to this inquiry, I would sirttplp state
that he is a young man of good moral char,
actor, temperate, honest and reliable. Ile
has devote(' nearly two years to the study of
the law, and is still pursuing his studies in the
office of the DiStriet Attorney..
Politically, he is a proselyte to no party,
but adheres with unswerving fidelity to the
broad and liberal principle of cqualjuitice to
all men. If elected, I believe he [Will make
an able and efficient public officer.

Soi time ago we published, at the re
quest of a friend, a receipt to cure neuralgia;
Half a drachm of sal ammonia in an ounce
of camphor water, to be taken ateaspoonful
at a dose, and the dose repeated several times
at intervals of five minutes, if the pain be
not relieved at once. Half a dozen different
persons have since tried the recipe, and in
every case an immediate cure has been ef
feCted. In one, the sufferer, a lady, had been
affected for more than a week, and her phy
sician was unable to alleviate her suffering,
when a solution of sal ammonia in camphor
water relieved her in a few minutes. -
One ministerial aspirant for Congressional
honors, Elder J. It. Whallon, objects to the
title of ex-Reverend, which we applied to
hint a week or two ago, as in no way befitting
his intentions or circumstances. Ile says he
designs wearing the Gospel livery while life
exists ; that he still continues to act in a
capacity when opportunity affords ;
and that nothing less than a serious affection
of the throat would have induced hint to give
up his regular pulpit labors. We gladly give
the Elder the benefit of his explanation, and
trust that in case he wins the Congressional
fight, the atmosphere of Washington may
not have the same demoralizing effect upon
his religious emotions which has been wit
nessed in the instance of some of hid fellow
divines. ;
- ;at - tarry farmer, who "believes in mak
ing old things last in these 'tiles," says:—
"There is one thing that nearly everybody
knows and hardly anybody attends to, that
is, to sprinkle slackened lime on their roofs
oncir a year, either in fall or spring. If the
shingles are covered ever so thick with moss
the lime soon clears it off, leaving the . roof
clean and white, and good for years. It °apt
to be put on pretty thick, and a rainy day is
the best for the work. Strong wood ashes
will answ,er almost as well to keep old roofs
in repair, but they will not look as nice. To
make new shingles. last three or four times
the usual period, they need only.to be soaked
a few days in a tank half full of thick lime
water, which must be well stirred up before
the shingles are put in." •
ME Republicans of the county are chuck
ling mightily over what they choose to style
"the split among the Copperheads." We
suggest to these gentlemeri not to "count
their chickehs before they are hatched." The
"Copperheads" are hot "split," and . they
don't mean' to be. We have been getting
along in harmony so long, that we just .
thought we'ed have a little free fight to see
how our opponents' way of doing things
would go for a variety. There are too many
sensible men in the party, to allow n little
local . feeling to break up the family cir
cle. When the "rank and file" get to under
stand the muss, they will demand• with one
voice that ' no local difference shall be

A Strong Appeal.
nY A WORKING/if-UV
During the last •few years, we are very
gravely informed - by the party claiming "all
the intelligence," that each House has the
right to be sole judge of its own members,
with regard to their qualifications, &c., and
upon this pmvision of the Supreme lawof the
land they hang all theft excuses for the ex
pulsion of members who uphold, protect, and
defend the Federal 'Constitution ; and when
ever it becomes necessary to pass a law over
the Presidential negative they deem all mem
bers who will certainly cast their votes ,
against them, as not qualified, and forth
with proceed to exp them. If menthers
from a former slave hiding State, after serv
ing with distinctio in the Federal army.
and being *duly elected in accordance with
the law, present their credentials, they are
not duly qualified unless their votes can be
relied upon for the party in power. 'lf a
whole delegation from a State which was
never out of the Union present themselves
a: duly elected representatives of the people,
they are regarded as unqualified because
they were presumed to be opposed to the
party in power, and in order to destroy the
influence of their delegation for a short time,
a. committee of investigation is appointed to
go into their State to hunt up charges of dis
loyalty against them, and by such means the
country is kept in a continual state of fever
ish excitement; industry is riaralyzed; our
flag waves mournfully over a drooping com
merce; our shipyards are abandoned, (they •
were once the pride' and - boast of our
Nation) : the working men all over the
' land are being crushed between the up
per and nether mill stones of Radicalism, in
order that the Southern States may ,be
crushed under one of the most humiliating
military despotisms ever known to man. It
is true the Southern people can take test
oaths not found in the Constitution, and sub
mit to other huthiliating terms heretofore un
known in American legislation, but if they
submit to the harsh terms presentoi,them
where is the assurance of their *lag restored
to their former "rights, privileges, and im
munities?" Permit me now to return to the
'qualifications of members of both Houses
of Congress, and, in order to present the case
as it is, I will refer doubting readers to the
ConstitutiOn ofour country, presuming them
to know that it is the' Supreme law of the
land. lee Art. let, Sec. 4th, to wit: "Each
House shall be judge of the election returns
and qualifications of its own members."
Now we are naturally led to :inquire what
arc the qualifications alluded to. It certain
ly
1,
cannot he possible that the :framers of tho- '
Supreme laW of the land left this to the whim
Or caprice of any party that might be in
power ; - but, upon the contrary, we find the
qualifications of members clearly defined in
Art. Ist, Sec..-2, to wit: "NO person shall
be a representative who shall not have at
tained the age of twenty-five years, and been
seven years a citizen of the United States,
and who shall not, when elected, be an in
habitant of the State in which he shall be
chosen.' The qualifications Of Senators are
similar, only they are required to be thirty
years of age, and nine.years a citizen of the
United States. Therefore, wh'en a member
presents his credentials, and, possessing the
qualifications specified in the Constitution,
that branch of the legislative .department to
which he is chosen must, according to the
letter and spirit of the Supreme law,adminis
ter the - oath required by the. Constitution.
These are all of the qualifications found in
the Constitution, and I am: clearly of the
opinion that Congress has no legal authority
to interpose any other qualifications, but if
they have the right so to do there is no use
of holding any more elections by either
party, from the fact that those now in Con
gress-have only to declare the new members
unqualified that they may hold the reins of
government In their own hands unchanged.
But, Say the advocates of this arbitrary as
sumption of power, those rebels have forfeit
ed all their rights and privileges by being
connected directly of indirectly in the rebel
lion, and have no rights that Congress is
bound to respect: But the query is, where
is the law for rebellion or treason found; that
disfranches one half or nearly one half of-the
citizens of_the United States ?,- Man is amen
able to no law except he tins violated the
law. If a' man commits a crime which the
law defines as treason, lfb must be tried, if
tried at all, by the law, which. he violates.
If there was a law prior to the rebellion
which disqualifies men from exercising or en
joying the rights of citizens who engaged in
the- rebellion, then Congress has some exetNe
for disfranchising those who voluntarily en
tered. the rebellion. But if there was no
such law in force at the time-Of the rebellion
then Congress has no legal right to disfran- ,
chise them, except such right as is found- in
the reconstruction and other stag, passed
since the crime, - if crime it is, was committed,
and all laws passed making :additional pun
ishments after the offence is committed
smacks a little too strong of the cs post facto
to be very palatable to a lover of Constitu
tional liberty.- Furthermore, Congress, is
prohibited from passing any er post facto
law See Art. Ist, Sec. 9.
Working men!, have we not sustained the
party in power long enough ;. nay, have we
not sustained.it too long for our own and
our country's interest? Look back over the
past history Of your country, trom its infan
cy up to the time that the party in power
undertook to administer the -affairs of our'
country. Was there ever a happier or more
prosperous people than we were prior to the
advent of Radicalism to power; and was
there ever a free people that lost their liber
ties so quick, or were burthened with a debt
and taxes so heavy In so shOrt a time as we
are? Or was there ever a time in our lives
when your busy hands found so little to do?
And what are our prospects :for the future
with the same managers in power? Have
they not over
_a two-thirds majority in both .
Houses ; can they not pass any bill they
please ? Certainly they can ; and if they
will not restore the - country,to its former con
dition now, what assurance have we that
they will -when they obtaln a new lease of
power? You and I, and every other man
who depends ,upon industry for the sup
port of our families, cannot; or at least ought
not, hazard the welfare of our families, and,
more especially, that of our suffering country;
merely to gratify politicians: When our
government was administered in accordance
with .the laws, and each branch acted
. within
its own legitimate sphere, and each respected
and obeyed the decision of the Supreme
Court as 'final, all was well with us ; but
the first departure from those National land
marks brought desolation upon us, and where
can we find safety except by a return to tliose
fundamental principlei transmitted to us by
our fathers, and which we are under a
solemn obligation to preierve, unimpaired,
for future generations . ; and in a default Of a
faithful discharge of our 'duty ,we become
degenerate sons - of noble sires. Working
men ! were you made fOr.the government, or
was the-government made' for you? Do you
believe that the wealth producing, or work
ing classes ought to toil like beasts of burden
for a mere pittance, or will you assert those
rights which }ou inherited tram your fathers,
and use your powerful influence to restore
your country to its former happiness, pros
perity, peace and fratcrnitY,
