IL ENT, of Columbi4 Co THE returns from the county elections held in South Carolina lust week, show that the Radicals have again carried most of the counties, but by reduced majorities. Many counties in the interior, which gave Radical majorities in April, have now elected Demo cratic county tickets. We have: no doubt that before five years, if the Democrats of the South display proper judgment and zeal, all the States of that section will be wrested from the clutches ofßadicalism. CatANT BEATEN AT HOME Galena, Illinois, the home of Gen. Grant, was last week carried by the Democrats by from 230 to 000 majority.

"A NOVEL RECOMMENDATION." tinder this heading, the Dispatch prints the following extract from a letter which it says has been received by "an enterprising Mannfacturing firm in this city," who made application to a gentleman in West Virginia for informationrelative to the responsibility of a person residing in that State • "They were followers of our 'lamented Stonewall Jackson, and I believe them to be MS reliable in the civil pursuits of life, as they were brave in battle. * In your dealings with our people select those who were earnest, brave, fighting men in our late unfortunate struggle, and you may confidently expect open, honorable, fair dealings.

Deal honorably and magnanimously with the South, and we may once again lee a free amd happy community of States." Without endorsing the presumed seces sion views of the writer, w e cannot resist the temptation to express our belief that there is "more truth than poetry" in whet he states. However ill-judged their conduct may have been, there is no denying the fact that n;ne ty-nine hundredths of the best people in all the Southern States fully sympathized with the secession movement, if they did not giro it their active aid in the field. The class who now disavow their former °Dinkins, and seek y; humble themselves as low SLR possi ble before the Baal of Radicalism, with few exceptions, comprise the very meanest ele ment d'Southcrn society, and arc as little to be misted as the debased blacks with whom they consort. A brave man is always an Jtenorable man, while a sneak will stab his best friend in the hack "wheneveri-his advan tage can be secured by doing it, The in stincts of every high toned citizen would lead him to prefer dealing with a manly, out spoken southerner, who does not hesitate, to avow his candid sentiments, to any of:the degenerate breed who now profess to have renounced their past belief, and are ready to creep on their knees in the mire for the sake of winning the favor of the North. It is one of the most telling points against Rad ical reconstruction that it gives the contr.4 of the finest portion of the Union into the hands of this l'OntVli , i , kib!r' and their negro allies, v.1.a,, the brain, the wealth an,i the business elem-nt of the South are de prived of their political privilege's, and de barred from renewing the vitality of their section, as they alone are bt -t capable doing. JosLipußnowN, who w-a 4 hanged at Hud son, N.

He pretended to haw experienced religion, re ceived the - administrations of two clergymen, said that hb forgave Lis enemies, including the Judge who tried him, and who he thought acted unfairly ori the trial. lie knelt down and spent the closing moments of his life in prayer; and yet he went out of the world with a falsehood on his lips,-or lawns an in nocent man. Either of these alternatives is dreadful to contemplate. One shrinks with horror from the thought of an innocent man being executed, and the very idea is enough to convince any person of humane instincts that our system of capital punishment needs reform or abolishment. A flu) OMEN NOrt ULrsiir.s.--:The first Grant nag thrown to the breeze in Lynn, wag raked over an tulertake?:, 1800 AIM 1868 The Albany Argus publishes ati editorial article which clearly exhibits the contrast between the Republican party as it was in 1860, when Lincoln was elected, and as it is now. The conspicuous members of the Republican Convention of 1860 were such men as Francis P. Blair, Wm. M. Evans, and a host of others embodying the talent_' and respectability of the Convention—a ma jority of whom are now ranked among the Most decided opponents of the Radicals. In the Chicago Convention of that year, there were four prominent candidates for the Presidency—Lincoln, Seward, Chase and Bates. The last act of Lincoln's life was to originate and adopt the policy of Johnson. Bates abandoned the present Radical organi zation before Lincoln died ; Seward is un active enemy of Radicalism, and if there is one man" in- the United States whom the Radicals of to-day hate more bitterly than Andrew Johnson, • that man is Salmon P. Chase. Then Chase, and Trumbull, and Fessenden, and Grimes, and Doolittle, and Dixon, and Stanbery, and a host or other great names were in the ranks of the Repub licans. Now, they are either acting openly with the Democracy, or are read out of the Radical party by the hot heads who control it. Nor is this all that is noticeable. IVhile_the statesmen of the Republican party have aban doned Radicalism, the vicious and treacher ous elements of the Democratic party have entered its fold. The party which became too corrupt for Chase and Doolittle; Bates, and Evarts, has demonstrated its affinity for. Butler and Logan, Stanton and Dan. Sickles. The leaders of the Radical party to-day—the men who have Giant in their keeping—were clamorous for SecesSion in 1860, and justified the Southern States in re - sorting to arms to repel the exercise of Federal power. Now, Butler, Logan, Stanton, and Dan. Sickles, are blatant Radical demagoguesond arc ac corded the highest positions of honor in the party that so recently despised them. They take the places once occupied by Seward, Chase, Trumbull, Stanbery, and others like them. THE "NO-POLICY , ' CANDIDATE The abject pledge of Gen. Grant that he will have no policy except that laid down for him by the Radical leaders, affords a cor rect measure of his capacity as a statesman. He does not propose to be "a pillar of state," bin a weathercock to show which way the wind blows, veering as the popular breath changes and having no direction of his own. But the Presidency is no place for a man without ideas and . destitute of a policy; who knows no rule of conduct but the servile one of doing as he is bid ; and because it is bid den thinking it right. Such debility of un derstanding and servility of will cannot take shelter under the truism that, in a republi can government, the will of the people ought to prevail. Certainly it ought ; but their de liberate, settled will as expressed iu the Con stitution ought to prevail over their fitful im pulses on some fleeting occasion. The Con stitution i_v*eir permanent mandate. If by the will of the people be meant the caprice of a transient majority, it is not at all binding on the President. 'Unless we adopt ,, the tyrannical principle that in a republican go-v. ernment the minority have no. rights which the majority are bound to respect, it maybe a base desertion of Lis duty for a President to have no policy of his own in opposition to the will of a majority. TILE YOUNG DEMOCILACT. In a recent address before the Young Men's Democratic Central Committee of New York "City,„the gifted orator and patriot Don. Rich 4rd O'Gorman toughed upon one point that shoulot be neglecteil by the young Dem-- ocr.Ts of the country, namely, the organiza tion of Young Men's Club , for active work in the great campaign now opening. The young men of the North do not exhibit that . interest in politics Which the state of the country demands oe'them. They are ready enough to vote, when voting day Comes, but they do not work as they should during the canvass. Nearly all the old men who once guided the Democratic ship .have passed away, and their placts must be filled. It is the duty of young men in every part of the country to step forward and do what they can to save the •govennuent. They should organ;:e elubs in - every county, and show by an example ef_industry that they realize the situation and know how to meet it. This is the time for iv(ilk and there should be no laggahls,es - ecially in the ranks of the youth ful and vigorous. TUE irrepressible Wendell Phillips is alter Gen. Grant and his Radical trainers with a sharp stick. In a late ,peeeh in Boston, ho said : "We will have the ballot for the negro by agitation, soon. A voice—llow do you pro pose to do it? Mr, Phillips—l propose to do it just as Christianity occupied the throne of the Cle&qrs. [Loud cheers.] I propose to do it by telling men just what God tells tue. I will do it . by doing what the temperance societies, which are as hide bound as the churches, dare not do—examine a.Republi can candidate for the Presidency—the most popular man in America, who cannot stand up before a glass of liquor without falling dawn. [Great silence, succeeded by ap plause.] I will4lo it by' opposing the Re publican party when iblbids me "be silent about negro suffrage North, it will hurt our Beparty. silent about General Grant's drinking it will hurt his chances." I reply, God bid+e speak what you bld me forbear. I will sp44Mi, and 'let the dead bury the dead; whether the'y bury,hint in the White Rouse or not.- SENATOR BUCKALEIV The Pittsburg Republic (itlepeudent) prints the following deserved editorial tribuM to the ability and worth of Pennsylvania's Democratic United States Senator: "It is with feelings of State pride, entirely unmixed with anything like partisanship, that we are led to make honorable mention of Hon. Charles It. Buckalew, United States Senator from Pennsylvania. We regard him .as one of the ablest men of that body. His speeches arc characterized by clearness of logic, sound reasoning, forcible argument, and loftiness and purity of rhetoric. Al though an uncompromising Democrat, he never fails to command the attention and re spect of Republican members, for he never so far forgets himself in the heat of debate, 'as, to indulge in intemperate and ill-timed re marks. It would be well for the country if both the great political parties would always select such men as their' representatives in the councils of' the nation." . THE indications arc that the Senate will pass the bill which* has already been adopted 1w the admitting 'N'orth and South Carf:llua, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana. A separate: bill has virtually passed- already for the admission of Arkansas, and the re mainder of the excluded States, viz.: Vir ginia, Florida, 'Mississippi and Texas, will probably go over until next winter, unless the Radicals should deem their admission a necessity: in order to strengthen -the Grant and Colfax ticket. All the legislation of Congress towards the Southern States, for the past two years, has been with a view to obtaining their vote for the Radical candi date for the Presidency in the pcnding cam paign, and whatever, in the opinion of the party leaders, will contribute to that end, is pretty sure to be done ere the election takes place. T lIE Louisiille Journal, which enjoys the reputation of being cautious in its statements, avers that General Steedman offered the Im peachment Managers a dinner if they would examine him, and that he agreed to prove that Senator Ponteroy's vote was offered him for ten thousand dollars. The Managers de clined the proposal. If the story• be true a committee to investigate the Managers' in vestigation should be appointed at once ; if not true, it should be authoritatively denied —not by Butler, for,he is no authority In a question of veracity. FUNERAL OP JANES BIICHANAIS. The obsequies of ex-President Buchanan at Lancaster,. on Thursday list, were the most impressive that have ever been 'seen in that vicinity. All classes of people - United in paying their last respects to the memory of the departed sage, business was suspended, flags displayed at half mast, the city bells tolled, and party „dissensions fcr were time completely buried. The . i in terred in the Cemetery at' Lancaster, and were followed to the grave by a - proCessiota two miles long, including some of the mcst prominent citizens in the Union, and many of the ex-President's political opponents. Mr. Buchanan's hold upon the, affections of his neighbors was very great, and was owing to the purity, patriotism and benevolence of is character, which even his most violent partizan foes freely acknowledge. On the Saturday preceding his death, the ex-Presi dent gave explicit directions to his executor, in regard to his burial and funeral. He re quested that there should be no large or ex pensive monument erected over his remains, but only a simple and substantial. oblong tomb, the capstone to be of the finest and most durable marble, on which should be cut, in Roman letters, the, following inscription, end nothing more : Here rest the remains of James Buchanan, fifteenth President of the 'United States. Born in Pranklincounty, Pennsylvania, April 23,1791. Died at his residence, at Wheatland, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, on June the Ist, 1868. In the same interview he said : "The principles of the Christian religion,were instilled into my mind in my youth, and from all I have ob served and experienced in the long life Providence has vouchsafed to me, I have on ly become more strengthened in my convic tion of' the divine character of the Savior, and the power of atonement through His re deeming grace and mercy" At the conchi sion he remarked in reply to an expressed hope that he might yet live to see the coun try . fully restored to peace and prosper ity, and his cared; completely vindicat ed : "My dear friend, I have no fear of the future. Posterity will do me justieb ; I have always felt and still feel That I dis charged every public duty,imposed upon me conscientiously. I have no regret for any public act of pry life, and history will vindi cate my memory from every unjust aver sion." I:NITY, HARMONY AND A BliitEWD POLICY. The present temper or the Democratic party leads to the inference, at least, that no mistake will be Made in the New York Con vention. From all sections of the country there is the same earnest desire to nominate a ticket that will command the confidence of the public in all localities, and place that ticket upon a platform that will be cordially endorsed by all who do not approve of the revolutionary proceedings of the Jacobin cabal at Washington. It is this unanimity of sentiment that has given the Radicals the impression that the Democracy are troubled about finding a candidate. There is no such trouble existing. There are candidates enough, , and every one of them good men, but with ail the candidates and the leaders of the party generally there is the same de: sire to so shape the action of the Convention, and present such a ticket as will unite In its support the great mass of the people of all sections, who are opposed to the revolution ary course of the Radical faction now trying to ruin the country. From all the present indications the Democratic Convention will assemble ou the Fourth of July under circum stances calculated to insure harmony in its actions, and the adoption of a course that will meet the approval of the public of all sec lions. AN HONEST ADMISSION. The Philadelphia Post, by Joni., Odds the most ably edited Republican paper in Penn sylvania, is not afraid to say what the princi ples of the party really are. In Saturday's issue it thus defines what the Chicago plat form means on the question of negro suffrage, its remarks being called out by a speech of Wendell Phillips . i`The,licpublican party has pledged itself and has pledged its candidates to maintain Ecitial Suffrage in' the South. Pledged to tins, it is in effectpledued to everything. As surely as the colored man votes in the South, he will vote in the North; and that he votes anywhere is the work of the Republican par ty.. That'party is:the creation of the uegro. .It owes its existence to his wrongs; it can only pieseFre, its power by giving him his rights." We commend the above to the attention of every Conservative Republican in tho. country POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS. "MACK" of the Cincinnati Commercial, says Schuyler Colfax's brains all run to smiles and hand-shaking. A IlArratsurno Radical paper Bays: "The reduction of taxation has always been Re publican doctrine." It may be "Republican doctrine," btit it certainly is not Radical practice. "AT Salon, Mass., Dr. Loring said : "The Lord raised up Butler for the express purpose of impeaching the President" The question now is who failed in his effort—the Lord, or Butler, or both? GENERAL,GILUST and ipeaker Colfax will, it is announced, start about the Ist of July for Colorado. They expect to be gone for two months. If they will wait till Novem ber, their leave of absence will be indefinite ly extended. A CORRESPONDMT Of the Radical Cincin nati Gazette, writing •of the Chicago Con vention, 'says : I "The unlimited supply of free whiskey at the Wade headquarters did quite as much harm as good, and the same may be said of the smaller displays by' the `first friends' of other candidates." CARY. Snrnz, the temporary Chairman of the Chleago,ConVention, Is the red Republi can infidel who, in a public speech made a few years since a St. Louis, spoke of the Al: mighty as-!'the ideal gentleman beyond the skies, called by some people, God!" Re was a fit character to preside over a Radical :stational Convention. GEN. GIUNT has entered the field as the Bondholder's especiaicandidate. The fol lowing is his platform: "GOLD FOR TILE NON-TAXPAYLEO zomxicßecT." "ILAO SIONEY FOR TILE TOILING =WOES." Which side will the farmers, the mechan: its, the laborers, the whOle great army of in dustry take in the grand race on the national course. Our in the West, where Schuyler • Colfax is best known, the people have no 'exalted opinion of him. The Chicago Times says: "The American people—those that inhabit the West, at any rate—need not be told who Schuyler Colfax is. lie is a politician of the smallest calibre of any that ever gained, by toadyism or good luck, a newspaper puff beyond the county he lives in. With Grant, the Man of no principles, at the head, and Colfai, .the man of no brains, at the tail, the Jacobin ticket is a very perfect' arrange ment." Lir. New York correspondent of the Phil adelphia Ledger writes: "Put no frith in the telegrams that some of the journals are Publiihing this afternoon, to the effect that Governor Seymour has taken decided ground in faYor of Chief Justice Chase for the Presi dency: Governor Seymour, when in this city a day or two ago, gave a flat contradic tion to all allegations of that character." Whatever may be -Gov. Seymour's views, it would be idle to deny the fact that the Chase movement has secured many ardent suppor ters among the New York Democracy. We question whether .their brethren in other States will give them much encouragemdnt. Give us a full-blooded Democrat for a candi date, or none. ' Ten Nw York Independent has emelt:4'oUL for Grant. How Hr. Tilton can Conscien tiously do this—after saying, in the most positive manner, and that with "damnable iteration," that Grant was a drunkard ; that hi was frequently so drunk that he was un able to attend to his duties ; that responsible parties had Been hint - de:ink in the streets of Washington many "a time, and, finally, to cap the dirties, that Beitithi Wllion deni al of these statements.was the strongest. poi sible confirmation of their truth—how he can support him we cannot . dertitand,J :The Independent stands now - in the position of advocating the claims of;one''•whom it. has denounced as a drtmlisid, to the highest of fice in the gift of the - peopin—a rather curi ous position fora religionspaper to occupy. Harwrmorrssennto the high qualifications of Mr. Stanbery, tainorailmilon for the office of Attorney-general,' which he resigned to render professional aid in defense of the Presi dent, was rejected by the Senate. The Radi cal members of the Judiciary Committee, to which: the nomination ' was referred, were unanimous in recommending its rejection. In the absence of any good reason for not confirming the nomination of Mr. Stanbery for an office which hb has administmed with so much credit, the rejection of this estimable gentleman appears petty spite work,.' quite In harmony with much that has preceded it. Tun Washington correspondent of tthe Baltimore Commercial says a letter has been received from Gen. McClellan; in reply to one from a friend asking permission to pre sent his name for nomination at the 4th of July Convention. Thp General earnestly begs that this shall not be done, urges the nomination of a new man—a new statesman who will command the respect,' admiration, and enthusiastic • support of the combined anti-Radical elements of ,tile whole country— and pledges himself, as soon as the nomina tion is made, to come home and canvass wherever needed in behalf of the New York nominations. Warm:am - P., of Illinois, the groom of Gen. Grant, has placed himself in a position Unit would be humiliating to a man of sensibility. Re wrote a letter, charging Mr. Donnelly, of Minnesota, a brother Radical, with corrup tion as a member of Congress, and with hav ing been compelled to leave Philadelphia on account of. offenses no gentleman would be guilty of. A committee was appointed 'to investigate this matter, and Washburn° re tracts the charge of corruption, acknowledg ing that he had falsified, and declines to fur nish proof as to his other allegations. THE Southern "rebels"—the "unrecon structed" ones—are not such bitter haters of the Yankees who fought them longest and hardest as the Radical leaders would have the : country believe. For instance Gen. Hancock, one of the most valuable command ers against-the South during the war, is en dorsed for President by the following South emnewspapers : Charleston Mercury, Lynch burg Republican, Petersburg Index, Mobile Register, New Orleans Picayune, and ,the Memphis Avalanche. AT the late election in Washington city, some of the negroes who could read and write voted the conservative ticket, and came near iicrificing their lives for so doing. The Mounted police had to rescue them from the Mob of black men, who beat them severely. The negro ticket was a large placard, with a red wood-cut of Grant printed on it, so that the poor, ignorant ne• grocs could tell that the picture-ticket was the one they had to vote. They knew it in no other way. WE bare made the charge over and over again, that the Radical party is pledged to ne gro suffrage over the whole country. It has never been deniedby the organs of the party ; but there are hundreds and thousands ofße publicans who vote for and support the party who deny that they are in favor of any such measure. These men cannot so vote and so act and escape the resposibility. Every man who sustains a Republican nominee is in favor'of mongrelism. Tun Oregon Democratic State Convention, laid down a platform of which the following • are planks: Resolved, That good faith and justice to all demands that the public debt shalt be paid in like currency as contracted, and we favor action by Congress submitting 'United States securities to be taxed as other property. Resolred, That the burdens of taxation ought to be equal among the people, and should be upon property-instead of the in dustry of the country, as by present laws provided. UNDER the partisan Registry bill just passed by the Rads and signed by Geary, to secure the disfranchisement of the poor naturalized foreigners and working classes, the election expenses of the State will be at least tripled = three times as great as under the old law. And for what? Simply to ena ble the mongrels to keep poor white men away from the polls by putting them to un necessary• trouble, vexation and loss of time and money. TILE :cost of the Impeachment trial is foobid up by the Albany Argus at four hun dred thousand dollars. The pay of General Rousseau, summoned from Oregon, netted some nine thousand dollars. Other wit nesses cost five thousand dollars each. It is reported that the-bill for printing the tickets of admission amounts to six thousand dollars. Thus much ale the people taxed, in this sin gle case, to gratify the malice of Thad Stevens it Co. Sm'on TtimrnuLL has written a letter to a friend in Illinois, in which he says : "The stories about corruption or improper motives influencing any Republican to vote against conviction are, of . course, false. All the pressure, and it was very great—more than you knowpf—Was on the other side, ad an investigation, if one is ever had, will show. But for outside pressure I think no such vote as thirty-flie could have been ob tained for conviction on the eleventh ar ticle." Otrn Irish fellow-citizens have good cause for pride in the details of the storming of Magdala which have been received by mail. It seems that the brunt of battle and hard ship wasborne on the plains of Abyssinia, as ithas been borne on so many other fields, by the Irish soldiers of the Queens army. What that army would be without the • recruits whom it draws so freely from the Emerald Isle, we need not step to conjecture. Tim telegraph agent of the Associated Press in San Francisco gave a rather neat specimen of what the late lamented Artcmus Ward used to call "sarkasure." After an nouncing the, under the - circumstances, really wonderful Democratic victory in Ore gon, the waggish agent adds: "The nomi nation of Grant and Colfax excites great en thusiasm here.," Now that is really good for a telegraphic joke. ' Tim Democratic victory in Oregon was a most signal one. The Democratic candidate for Congress woes elected by a majority of I about eight hundred; the Democratic coun ty tickets were nearly all unanimously Demo cratic. Radicalism is clean "done gone" on the Pacific. First. California wheeled into line to the "music of the Union"—now fol lows Oregon. The last Legislature was Radical by seven majority in joint Tnz Chicago platform on the money ques tion reminds one of the •old rhyme slightly altered : It wires in, and wires out, And still it leaves all folks in doubt If IL 11. Grant and S. Colfax Mean pay in gold or in greenbacks. ALEXAIWED, &moms has written an other letter on self-expatriation, in which he advises the young men of the South "to re main, and, if need be, go down 'with the ship." A Ramcsb newspaper correspondent asked Senator Ross what he was going to do. "To mind my own business," was the prompt reply. Re can't do that and remain long in the Radical party. • TEE followinglaconic correspondence was left by Stanton -when he 'vacated the War Itiells a talc of some piqpancy : "Washington, Feb. 21,1868.

"Grant crushed the rebellion," claims a "loyal" chap. , Yes, but the platform ! "Grant ended the war," asserts nuother ad mirer of Ulysses B. Yes, - but the platform ! It is not Grant you are asked to endorse. It is that platform ! that odious, infamous, execrable Chicago platform! that confession of .political faith which approves of Making 600,000 ignorant and 'degraded Blacks, just emerged from slavery, equal in the govern ment to one fifth of the white voters of the North Can you vote fur Grant on that platform? That is the question.—Medford Oazette. 4 Girard Correspondence. DEIR OE:SERVER :-It would be quite safe to say that summer has really commenced. Our village and, vicinity never looked more beautiful. The comilon expression of strong-, erg, so many of whom come and go daily from every town and village, now-a-days, is that Girard is the most pleasant looking place they know -of. Its surroundings are certainly enchanting. Those who admire the beauties of nature and those who regard only: the stern realities of rich lands and good crops, both find an abuodante with which to delight themselves. Why men of wealth, whose only task is to live at ease, do not choose such quiet, beautiful places as Girard for their residences is to be wondered at. With all the privileges of a stirring town; and near enough to enjoy the peculiar favors of a city by a ride of less than thirty minutes over the best railroad in America, it would suit the most fastidious. A street has been opened direct from - the depot to the vil lage, over which, we are confident, street cars will run as early as you have them on State street. _Along this street many dwelling sites have been sold. A few most desirable ones remain unsold—splendid opportunity for an editor's summer residence. Girard cer tainly. owes much to the liberality-and energy of Dan Rice, who is so deeply concerned m the welfare of the village and vicinity, that it is doubtful whether a transfer to the White House would be, to him, desirable. The "happy family" were advertised for a re-union last Saturday night, and, getting sight of the same bottle referred to last week, we followed to the place of meeting, which was Albee's Hall, at the tavern. Upon our arrival, we found a dreary silence pervading the assembly—the meeting, as yet, being, "without form and void." The President, with commendable courtesy, offered us front seats, but not wishing to go forward quite yet, we retained a secluded spot, strongly impressed that the "place of honor was the private station." An address by the candi date "possessing the requisite qualifications" was on the bills, and several Democrats, some who labeired in the good old cause when the expected speaker was strong in the faith, chairman of Douglas meetings, and respected President Lincoln enough to say that "he was an old fool" In lieu of the address the aforesaid candidate would make' a speech, "for be had not prepared himself, and there were but few out," both' of which assertions were undoubtedly true. • About the time the speaker arose, we glanced about the room at the material:. An Ass-emblyman, a bank rupt Register, Postmaster, Assistant Ass-es sor, several tax CO - Hectors, candidate for Con gress, candidat for Legislature, and a few citiiens,among candidate were several unterri fied Democrats. Upon first entering the Hall, we observed a lame placard upon the wall announcing that 'gentlemen will not form on the floor until called by the mana ger." For a while we were undecided ns to the nature of the performance. Was it to be a war dance? or possilly a procession was to be formed for a funeral 1 The melancholy countenances rather indicated the latter. At all events, the people are digging the grave-for the corrupt party, which, for the past few years,'has inflicted upon' the coun try 'curses gxeviertia to endure. The President, at this juncture, announced that on account of the unexpected absence of the committee upon resolutions he would call upon the speakers present to make a few remarks The Congressional aspirant pro ceeded to say, "that at present there is not much to say. He could not get steam up, but that so soon as the Democrats made their nominations there would. be something to pitch into and talk about." How' grand a thought! How weighty the conclusion. How widely different in spirit from the im mortal Webster, whose virtue a candidate should regard while he aspires to occupy his honored position. Said the great statesman : "If I am gifted with little of the- spirit which is said to be able to raise mortals to the skies, I have yet none, I trust, of that other spirit which would drag angels down." About this time, two gentlemen and a dog entered, whereupon the President announced that as the committee had arrived the resolutions would be read. These were of the common stripe, wailing for the poor soldier, who left home and them, and went out to lay down his life for his country while they stayed at home, announcing a determination to sup port the available•candidate and obey orders generally. The - next speaker followed with some good counsel as to the labor before them. Ile.tehi. them "not to, be , deceived . , as he had been for yea* thinking the-Dein ocratie party dead, for it would ncrer (lie." Glorious truth ! Long after the fanatics, who have reveled in the countrY's destruction and crucified its brightest hopes; {hall lave rot ted to common dust, will the guardian spirit of true Democracy live to bear her up. up, 'till she becomes the light of Nations. When we departed, a facetious gentleman Was, CSsessing the - patience of those present with a speech ("he, , also, was 'unprepared,' ") which reminded us forcibly of a balfol, lisp ing schoolloy's first effort— ° .ou'd scarce 'speet one uv my age," &-c. We understand that a roll of ills-holier was opened, and each - recruit was recorded—bolter , arc to be l Watched. The war-widows' husband arose 1 and said Something; and laughed, but mg in formant says it was undiAnguishable. "Happy family" gathers again on next Sat-: urday night; as yet, your correspondent is - without an invitation—may not get any. We a innot close without noticing the glori ous work done here by the Good Templars. They have certainly outdone all other agen cies in bringing joy to many - hearts. - Two suspicious characters were arrested on Mon day in the woods, a little smith of the village, having in their possession a pair ,of fine horses ; they were held until Tuesday night, when the owner, who lives in the south-west part of Geauga County, Ohio; came and identified the animals. The prisoners will ingly accompanied the officers to that County. to be arraigned for the . crime. The Harugari society held a festival in the woods near here, on Tuesday. A large number of well known citizens of our County were present, an exceedingly pleasant time was experi enced, and a favorable impressiowleft. with the pillffic. Yours, ' ONw.uw Riour OSIVARD ! Into the valley of death, Rode the six hundred. But larger by hundreds multiplied into millions than the doomed band who rode to swift destruction, in Tennyson's poem is the great cavalcade who are riding into misery, worse than death hugging fever and ague and other kindred diseases, when they can be successfully combatted and conquered for ever by the use of Mishlet's Herb -Bitters, each individual at the same time thoroughly improving his or her system, purifying the blood and correcting, the tone of the stomach with this great household remedy, fur the legitimate result of the use of Mishler's Herb Bitters is to ward off diseases arising from malarious causes, and to effect a radical cure where the disease has gained a footkoll. It makes no difference how long the victim has suffered from his complaint, nor how violent 'the disease itself may be, Mishler's Herb Bitters will effect a speedy . and permanent cure.

Hartman & Co., Proprietors, Lan caster, Pa: jell-2w: GROUNDLESS OBJEcTroNs. , —Objec in s arc "sometimes raised against certain medicines on the ground that they cure so many dif ferent diseases. A moment's reflection will expose the shallowness of such anargument, for there is scarcely a medical drug-of any kind that is not used for more than ono *disease. The reason why 3lishler's Herb Titters cures so many diseases is because it is the best remedy ever discovered for a deranged stomach, or dyspepsia, and because it invigorates the entire system, strengthens the nervous fibres, elevates the standard of ail 'the vital forces, and sustains a most healthful tone of the entire human organism. Medicine that will do this, will cure any 'discase,for the simple reason that nature will do the rest. It is a sure protection against disease and if the importance of protective medication were generally understood, no family in the land would risk being without this great-household remedy fora single day.
