Whose sufferings have been protracted from
hidden causes and whose cases require prompt
treatment to render existence desirable, If you
are suffering or have suffered from involuntary
- discharges, what effect does It produce upon
your general health? Do you feel weak, debili
tated, easily tired! Does a little exertion pro
duce palpitation of the heart? Does your liver
or urinary organsor your kidneys, frequently
get out of order? Is your ririne sometimes thick,
milky, cocky, or is It ropy on settling? Or does
a thick scum rise to the-tap? Or Is a sedithent
at the bottom after 1t has stood awhile? Do - you
have spells of short breathing or dyspepsia?
Are your bowels constipated? Do you have
spells of fainting or rushes of blood to the bead?
Is your memory impaired? Is your mind con
stantly dwelling upon this subject? Do you feel
dull, listless, moping, tired of company, °fillet
Do you wish to be left alone, to get away from
everybody?
. Does any little thing make you
.start or jump? Is your sleep broken or restless?
Is the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The bloom
on your cheek as bright? Deyou enjoy yourself
In society as well? Do you pursue your business
with the same - energy? Do you feel us much
confidence.in yourself? Are your spirits dull
and flagging, given to fits of melancholy? If so,
do not lay it to your liver or dyspepsia. Irate
you restless nights? Your back weak, your
knees weak, and have but little appetite, and
you attribute this to dyspepsia or liver com
plaints?
Now, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases bad

producing a weakness of the generative organs.

1117 - ALLiIIIEPORTANT DUTY of EVERY
DEMOCRAT!
A few months more and the Presidential
campaign will open in all its vigor, with can
didates in the field representing the distinct
ive issues of each political organization, and
committed plainly and unequivocally to their
interests. _ -
On both sides active preparations arc be
ing made for the struggle, and it will un
doubtedly lie one' of the most fiercely con
tested in the history of the nation. Every .
indication.of the' tithes points 'to- the most
stOborn and unscrupulous resistance on the
part of the Radicals against the efforts of the
people to wrest from them the lawless power
which they have seized to uphold 'their base
purposes.
The Democratic party begins the campaign
under the most auspicious circumstances,
with acomidence in success, an enthusiasm
foribe cause, and a vigorous self reliance
that has not been experienced . in many years.
The late elections show conclusively that a
vast majority of the nation are ready to es
pouse ourstandard if we only prove faithful
to our creed, and continue to stand firmly-by
the interests of the country.
But to make victory certain sothething
more is necessary than-mere dependence up-
on the truth of our principles. In the flush
of self-confidenee, we are apt to forget what
a vigilant enemy we have to overcome, and
what desperate measures he Is apt to resort to
to attain his ends. PolitiCal battles, like tho•se
of a more bloody nature, depend for their re
sults more on the skill,courage, determination
and energy of the contesting foes than upon the
sacredness of their cause, or the convictions of
the participats. The' Dentocrhey of America
have always stood forth as deVotedly attached
to the Union, the Constitution and the wel
fare of the country as 'they do to-day, yet
for seven years they have been divested of
power, and it is only when the people are
aroused from their delusion by the imperilled
condition of the public interests, that they
have twain returned to us that confidence
which it would hav'e been well if they had
never Parted with.
The all-important necessity of the day, on
the part of our political friends is—work•!
WORK!! WORK!!!
We must be thoroughly orgdndzedand pre
pared fur the campaign. Every man trust
consider that he owes a riersorud duty in the
matter,_as indeed he does, far there is no one
so bumble, but he is in some way more or less
"conceded in. the issues at stake. All the
districts must be canvassed, so that we may
know where it will be most advantageous to
employ our energies. The young 'men must
be encouraged to lend a helping hand. Those
who have beeh led estray , must be brhught_
back to the fold, and DemocratiC arguments
placed in their reach, that they may know
the distinctive questions whidh divide par
tieS, and no longer be misled fiy the wiles and
falsehoods of the Opposition..-,
What we have said before we now reiter
ate, and intend reiterating until we have
Waked the Democracy tp to a full.conscious
ness of its truth, th t the
_most effective
weapon towards success is the wide distril
tion of sound and straightfirreani total news
papers.
One good journal in a family will do more
towards moulding its political convictions
than all other influences; and fifty copies_ cir
culated in iffiy locality for six months, will
accomplish more efficient service than a doz
en costlfmass meetings.
The Democratic party has never displayed
Matzen' in supporting its press that it 'need
ed, and to that cause, as Much , as anything
else, may be attributed its misfortunes during
the bit ten years. In' all sections of the
country—even in the midst of the strongest
Democratic localities—the• Radical press is
more liberally sustained than ours, and in
many places the cotitrast is so great as al
most to amount to a disgrace.
. The time has come for these things to be.
changed, and, for the- Democratic party to
enter upon a new melted of warfare. Our
papers ought to' be spread broadcast over the
land, and take the place of those which-are
now defiling the minds- of the young and
filling them with wrong ideas pf Republican
liberty. Our while men should avail them
selves of every opportunity that offers to im
press the importance of these views on the•
attention of the masses. Our local leaders
should make a point of devoting whateVer.
spare time they can towards strengthening
their county organs by procuring their friends ,
and neighbors' patronage.
, The low price. of TWO DOLLARS per
year at which the Observer is now offered,
if paid in advance, ought to ensure the daub
lirig of our subscription list inside of tile next
six months. • • •
But to place it within the reach of all; we
offer to take Rix month Vibscriptionx at ONE
DOLLAR in trammel'', with - the privilege of
commencing at any period desired, and of
continuing the paper at the same rate for the
balance of the:year if desired.' -
Now is the time to begin the NVOii, before
the spring operations set in, and while voters
94 t e
have time to read, an reflect over the &cis
presented to them. t it not be delayed'
under the impressi that the matter can be
as well attended to by-and-by. More ad
vantageous work can be rendered during the
neat two months than can be performed dur
ing the entire balance of the campaign. A
six months' subscription commencing within•
the next two months, will continue until
near the close of the campaign, and .havean
immense influence over the mind of the vo
ter who peruses the - paper.
. We earnestly urge this important matter
upon our friends as by all odds the most re
liable r means of helping the cause.
.
Let every one of. our present subscribers
see his Democratic neighbor at once, and if
he is not a patron already, induce him , to sub
scribe for six months, if he cannot for a
year.
Let those who, can afford it, send copies to
hesitating voters, who may be influenced to
support our candidates' at the next election.
Let clubs be established and procure ten,
twenty or fifty copies for free distribution
wherever there is likely to be a vote gained.
Let this be the grand preparatory work of
the gampaigny and be assured that whenever
other means are necessary there will be fOund
an abundance of ready helpers for every part
required.
We intend that, be the . result of the con
test what it may, no one shall have the op
portunity to complain that we have failed fo
fulfill our complete duty in the canvass. _ •
The Observer for the next year will be
more vigorous and outspoken than - in any
previous portion of its career; will contain
more reading matter; and it shall be our
constant alto, to present such material as will
be productive of the most beneficial results.
We only ask for such co-operation as we
have a right to expect, and if the Democra
cy of the Noith-Woit arc impelled by one
half our zeal and ccualldence, we ' promise
such a verdkein this section as will gladden
the hearts of our Mends throughout the
State. . jole•tt

Have'youyver reflected on the beauties of

Have you ever Contemplated the fair pro

Have you ever realized the controlling in

liberty—the Old, Union?
Not alone was it a blessing to the dwellers
beneath the starry tegis.
Not alone was it the home of the weary
and oppressed, who fled from the iron heel

Not alone was it the peculiar home and
province of earth's unfortunates, ?alto gath

Not alone to these, but by the magic of its

the condition Of those whose homes were on
oilier continents, whose destinies were linked
with other climes.
To the dwellers by the Rhine, the Danube'

dwell where the fairy isles of the Pacific
sleep upon their coral beds, to the toiling

the name Of
.America was synonymouS with
the name of Liberty.
The Old Union was the gift of the Creator
to the human family—it was the luminary
from which the rays of Liberty were to per

With the fall of this majestic structure
came the deep wailing from the myriad

Ask of the thinly clad widow, shivering.

Ask of the homeless orphan, imploring for

Constitutional. Limitation.
WEBSTER'S REPLY TO LIATNE
"But, sir, the people have wisely provided,
in the Constitution• itself, a proper, suitable
mode and tribunal for settling questions of
Constitutional 'law. There 'are in the Con
stitution grants of power to Congress, and
restrictions on 'these powers. There are,
also, prohibitions on the States. Some au
thority must therefore necessarily exist, hay
ing the ultimate jurisdiction to fix and as
certain the interpretation of these grants,
restrictions and prohibitions. The Constitu
tion has itself, pointed out,. ordained and
established that authority. How has it ac
complished this great and essential end? By
declaring, sir, that the Constitution, and the
laws of the United States made in pursuance
thereof shall be the supreme law of the land,
anything in the Constitution 'or laws of any
State to the contrary nrnwithitanding.
"This, sir, was the first great step. By
this the supremacy of the Constitution and
laws,of the United States is declared. The
people so will it. No State law can be valid
which comes in conflict•with the Constitu
tion, or any law of the United States passed
inpursnance of it. 'But who shall decide
this question of interference? Towhom lies
the last appeal ? This, sir, the Constitution
itself decides, also, by declaring 'that the ju
dicial power shall extend to all cases arising
under the Constitution and- laws of the
United States.' These two provisions, sir,
cover the whole ground. They are, in truth,
the keystone of the arch. With these it is a
Constitution ; without them, it is a confeder
acy. In pursuance of these clear and ex
press provisions Congress established, at its
very first session, in the judicial aet, a mode
for carrying them in full. effect, and 'for brin,g
ing.all questions of Conititutional power to
the final decision of the Supreme Court. It
then, sir, becomes a government."

those ancient, but, my lords, I shall go, no
further than the latter end of Queen Eliza

DOOLITTLE, AT HARTFORD, CONN.
In conclusion, fellow citizens, while ilto
impeachment of President Johnson closes
my mouth upon the subject of his impeach
ment, while delicacy and duty forbid me to
speak upon that, my mouth is not closed,
and no considerations of duty and delicacy
will prevent me from speaking of another
imneachmkt and before a tribunal more au
gust than the Senate.
In the name of Constitutional liberty, ift
the name of our great ancestors who laid the
foundation of this Government to secure
liberty fortiemselves and for us, In the name
of all who love that liberty, who are ready to
struggle, and if need be, to die rather than
allow it W ho overthrown, in the name of the
coining generations and of that rare to which
we -belong, and which has given to the
world all its civilization. I do arraign and
impeach the Radical policy of the present
of thegh,
crimes and misdemeanors.
At the bar of the American people, in the
pre.ience of high heaven and before the civil
ized world, I impeach it, first. 11.4 a crime
against the laws Of nature, which God, the
Almighty has stamped upon the races of
mankind:because it-attempts to force a polit
ical, and social, and unnatural. equality be
tween the African and the Causasian, be
tween an alien, inferior and exotic race front
the tropics, with the highest' type ot the hu
man race in the home of the latter in the
temperate lone. •
Second, I impeach it its a crime against
civilization, because it would by force wrench
the government out of the hands of the civ
ilized white race in ten States of this Union
to place it in the hands of the half civilizetl
African.
. Third, I impeach it as a crime against the
COnstitution, because it tramples down the
rights of.the States to fix for themselves the
qualifications of their own voters, a right
without which a State ceases to be republi
can at all.
• • . .
Fourth. I impeach it as a crime against the
Constitution and a,g-ainst national faith, be
cause it annuls the pardons Constitutionally
granted to hundreds of thousands of the most
intelligent white men of the South and in
open palpable violation of the Constitution
disfranchises them.
Fifth, I impeach it as a crime against the
existence of ten States of the Union and the
liberties of eight millions of people, because
in express terms it annuls all civil govern
ment by which alone those liberties may be
secured, and places them under an absolute
Military despotism.' -
Sixth, I impeach it as a crime against hu
manity, tending to produce a war of races,
to the utter destruction of one or both, a re
sult which cannot be prevented without a
large standing army which neither our re
sources will bear, or our liberties long sur
vive.
'Seventh, I impeach it as an utter abandOn•
melt of the purpose of which we fought and
mastered rebellion. It tends to make false
all the promises and pledges made by the
friends of the Government in its fearful strug
gle to put down the rebellion, and' it tends
to verify all the prophesies and forebodings
of its-enemies.
The great struggle in New Hampshire has
been upon the advanced' lines. The friends
of the Constitution and of that liberty it was
designed to secure, while they bravely held
their own and made large gains, have not
won a complete victory. Perhaps a complete
triumph in New Hampshire now, would
have allowed the people of other States to
become from the great victory already won
less prudent, and to underrate the tremendous
struggle - necessary to meet and overcome the
Radicalism which, in the name of a gredt and
successful General, now threatens to destroy
the Constitution, the most sacred rights of
the States under it and the liberties of the
people by a revolution in favor of centraliza
tion and imperialism more insidious but not
less dangerous titan secession itself.
Yesterday, although they were centered
Upon the friends of Constitutional liberty in
New Hampshire, they stood nobly ; when
blows fell first and thickest. they advanced,
they gained, but not all that, was hoped.
To-day all eves are turned upoirConnecticut ;
with equal exertion your majority of last
year will be more than treble, and then if our
Convention in New York on the 4th of July
next will select our standard It.arers, and
placing them upon the issue of the present
and not of , the past, and whoever they may
be, civilians or military men, statesmen or
generals, from the East or from the West, if
they do not place us upon the defensive, but
give the word to advance upon the whole
line from Maine to California, we must be .
victorious in the great struggle in November,
unless truth and justice and the love of true
liberty have ceased to rule the hearts and
consciences of the American people
Au Early Precedent.
Precedents establishing the right of the
President to select his own Cabinet officers
are numerous in our histon•. Here is nn in
stance which occurred during the Adminis
tration of the elder Adams : On the 10th of
May, 1800, President Adonis addressed to
Colonel Pickering, then Secretary of State,
a note as Billow s :
"`T , T. ..Nderipg, crttary
1 - m0(1(14/Ala :
" `Sir : As I perceive a necessity of intro
ducing a change in the administration of the
Office of State, I think it proper to make this
communication of it to the present Secre
tary of State, that he may have an opportu
nity - of resigning, if he .chooses. I should
wish the day on which his resignation is to
take place to be named by himselt: I wish
for an answer to this letter, on or before Mon
day morning, because the nomination of a
successor must be sent to the Senate as soon as
they sit.
"'With esteem, I am,sir,your obedient and
humble servant, RHIN ADAMS.'
"Colonel Pickering replied in an extraor
dinary strain, declining td resign whereup
on Mr. Adams sent him this laconic notice,
which bears date May 12, 1800:
"'MAY 12, 1800.
"'To Timothy Pickering, Phandrlphia ;
" 'SIR : Divers causes and considerations,
essential to the administration of the Gov
ernment, iu my judgment requiring a change
in the Department of State, you are hereby
discharged from any further service as Sec
retary of State. JOHN ADAMS,
" 'President of the United States.' "
il;prks ,tr Juhn Adallm, 1 . 4. IX., pp 54, 55.]
"Observe, in this, that Mr. Adams saw tit
to peremptorily discharge Colonel Pickering.
The same , day, May 12, the President sent a
brief announcement of the removal to the
Senate, which read as follows :
"'MONDAY, May 12, 1800.
"'Gentlemen qf the &nate :
"'I nominate the Hon. John Marshall, Esq.,
of Virginia, to be Secretary of State, in place
of the Hon. T. Pickering, Esq., removed.
•Jonx ADAMS:
"That was all the official notice the Sen
ate had of the removal, before or since. Mr
Adams, in one of his Cunnin*lmm 'fetters
calls this one of the most deliberate, virtu
ous, and disinterested actions of his life."
A Tale with a Moral.
An incident which might, by a 'reporter
disposed to be sensational, be wrought into
a column or'so, occurred recently in a very
respectable' locality in this city. A gentle
man, returning from business rather earlier
than his wont, was surprised to find his
house in darkness. Entering, he was cor
dially greeted by his wife, who gave for an
excuse for being in the dark that , he Was
watching the streets by moonlight. The ex
planation was satisfactory. and the gentle
man seated himself upon the sofa beside his
wife. His foot came in contact with some
thing under the soils which attracted his at
tention. He caught lipid of what appeared
to bg a man's boot, and hauled from under
t.the sofa one of his bosom friends and near
neighbors. In vain both the man and his
'wife 'protested that the scheme was de
vised only to scare him ; he belabored ltim
most soundly with a little rattan, and ended
by kicking him down the stairs into the
street, minus coat and hat. What trans
pired further deponent saith not.
Moral—Don't try_ to scare your neighbors
by getting under their sofas while their wives
are around.
BIRTH AND DEVIII Ram cut T 6E Wout,D.
—statisticians have calculated - that if the
population of the world amounts to between
1,200,000,000 and 1,300,000,000 persons, the
number of deaths in a year would be about
32,000,000. Assuming the correctness of this
calculation, says the Loudon Lancet, the
number of deaths each day would_ be nearly
88,000-3,600 per hour; sixty per minute,
and thus every second would carry into eter
nity one human life in one part of the earth
or another. But reproduction asserts its
superior power ; for, on calculating the proba
ble annual births of the globe, the result.
shows that whereas sixty persons die every
minute, seventy children are born, and thus
the increase of the population is kept up.
Not long ago a man neatly dressed, hand
some, and of courtly bearing; might have'
been seen pacing Broadway, between Canal
street and Union Square, at almost any hour
between sunset and midnight. Care had fur
rowed his lofty brow ; his hair, once black
as the ratios's wing, was prematurely sil
vered; his tout enacuibla bespoke a man with
a broken heart, for whoni life had no joys,
and for whorls the gravd only had test. Ile
was from sunny France. There he loved a
young and beautiful Ns ife, the mother of his
,two children; . and while they lived secluded
on his estate in Lozere, they . enjoyed "do
mestic bliss, the only happiness that sur
vived the 11111." In an evil hour he took his
wife to Paris to enjoy for a time the pleas
ures of that gay and luxtuimis capital. He
'_was wealthy and had the entree to the circles
of fashion. His wife, unused to the world,
fell a victim of the fli:kinating, and seductive
influence of one of thoseelegant scoundrels—
called counts—so plentiful in Paris. ,She
eloped with him and as her husband after;
wards ascertained, sailed, for NCNV York. In
cited by jeillousy rind exasperated at the out- '
Mge on his honor, the wronged man swore
vengeance.and sailed to this city in search
of it. Night after night he walked Broadway
or haunted the theatres, armed ready to take
his rival's life. Fin' nearly three long months
with his brain on fire, his heart filled witft
envy, did.this man seek the life of the betray
er of his happiness. On the 24th of May last,
he stood, earlier than usual, gazing vacantly
in the window of a Broadway store. Sud
denly the sound of a voice that once was
music in his ear sent a. 'milk to his heart.
Turning, he recognized his wife among a
crowd of sewing women going bonne from
their daily toil. lie mechanically followed
her unobserved to a solitary apartment in a
ini-erable house in a wretched .locality.
I laving knocked at the door, it was opened
and lie .entered. What took place inside
none but themselves know or should know.
It is enough for us to tell that his old love,
mingled with commiseration, returned when .
he found tier penitent 'and heart-sore. - The-,
rest is'soon told. The quasi count deserted
her, and the la,t. time -she saw him was in,
the morgue, where he was taken, "found
'drowned." Death forestalled the husband's
vengeanee.—.Y. Y. Ga.:ctte.

Among the oracles of the Radical party,
no one has grown into wider rcpute,within the'
lust year or two, or been more generally ad
mired by the "rank - and than the writer
who signs himself "Petroleum V. Washy."
His real name is D. R. Locke, awl he is one
of the editors of the• Toledo Blade. The fol
lowing anecdote of this notorious individual, •
related by the Printers' • Circular,
.a paper
which likes no part in polities, will serve to
show in what estimation he was held by one
who knew how to judge-metes character as
well as any man in the country :
"When 'Washy' was editor of the Bucyrus
(Ohio) Journal, there appeared every week
in the 'local column' a sensational story of'
some sort ; a miraculous re-union of husband
and wife, or (Miter and son, after a lapse of
many years—sudden reappearances of men
who had long-been mourned for dead, and
which were copied by all the papers of the
State as veritable. The obituary of 'Jelin E.
Cake, burned to death in an oven,' which
was sweitensively circulated, first originated
here. Now fin- my story. In 1801 'Nasby'
went to Camp Taylor with the first company
of volunteers (Capt. Butterfield's, of the Bth
Ohio,) -which left B— under the call of
75,000 men. While standing on the plat
form at Crestline, waiting for the Cleveland
train, a friend came sauntering along in com
pany with 'Artemis Ward,' (Charles F.
Browne-, the local editor of the Cleveland
Plaindealer.) An introduction followed, and
when they clasped hands for a fr,iendly shake
'Artemus said: 'I am mostlappy to meet
the most miceessfotEllitr in the State of Ohio.'
The bystanders, who were mostly _Bucyrus
boys; appreciated the joke hugely, and com
mencing with a broad grin, they finally raised
snicker, and concludedAvith a hearty laugh,
in which 'Washy' cordially, joined and shook
• his sides." .

A Lesson for IVell.Disposed Wives.
"Why is it," asked a lady, "that so many
men are anxious to get rid of their wives ?"
"Because," was the reply, "so, few women
exert themselves after marriage to ndtke their
presence indispensable to the happiness of.
their husbands?" WhCn husband and wife
have become thoroughly accustomed to each
other—when all the little battery bf charms
which both played off so skillfully before the
wedding day has been exhausted, too many
seem to think that nothing remains but the
clanking of the legal chains that bind them
to each other. The wife seeks to AleYelop in
her affections ) no now attractions for her
husband ; and the latter, perceiving the tap
so.., begins to lima! over an uneongeniality,
which does not exist, into unsurpassable ob
stacles in the way of his earthly felicity.
This is the true secret. The woman who
charmed before marriage can charm after
wards, if she will, though not, of course, by
the same means. There are a thousand ways,
if she will study them out, in which she can
make home so attractive that her husband
will unconsciously dislike to' absent himself
from it, and she can readily make herself the
Particular deity of the domestic paradise.
This done, she may quietly laugh at all at
tempts to alienate her husband's inclinations ;
and with these inclinations will always go,
in such-eases, his active judgment.

' "Taittus."-:-A pretty and witty young lady
who went 'to see.the "Black Crook," in corn
pany.with her intended husband, was much
annoyed by the impudent staring of a fellow
with a rented opera glass who sat opposite to
her. Getting out of all patience at his per
sistence, she snatched front a reserved seat
one of the cards- on which 'was printed in
large letters the word "Taken," and held it
up before her for the information .of her un
known admirer. It is hardly necessary to
say the glass dropped instanter, and the fel
low used the balance of his time in looking
at the ballet girls.
