HOOFLANDN GERMAN BITTERS, EMI Hoofland's - German Tonic, The great Remedies for, all Diseases °Ube Liver, Stomach or Digestive Organs. lIOOFLAND'S GER3IAN HITTERS Is cornposed'of iltopttro Juices (or, as they arc medicinally termed, Extracts) of Roots, Herbs an d Barks, TT making-a prepare.- lion hiatus concen- Il tented and entirely free f alcoholic admixture of any kind. ) Hoofland's German Tonie Is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bitters, with the purest quality of Santa Cruz Ruin, Orange, etc., making one of the most pleasant and agreeable remedies ever offered to the public. Those preferring a Medicine, free from Alco holic admixture, will use lIOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS Those who have no objection to the combina tion of the Bitters, as stated, will Use • 1100FLAND'S GERMAN TONIC 'They are both equally good, and contain the same medicinal virtues, the choice between the two being a mere matter of taste, the Tonic be ing the most palatable. The stomach, from a variety of causes, such as Indigestion, Dr:- pepsin, Nervous De bility, etc., is very et apt to have its func tions deranged. - The ‘..,? Llver sympathising as closely as it does with' the Stoinach, then becomes affected, the result of which is that the patient. suffers from several or more of the following diseases: ConStipation, Flatulence, Inward Piles, Full ness of - Blood to the Head, Acidity of the Stom ach, Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food,Full ness or Weight in the Stomach. Sour Eructs- Gond, Sinking or Fluttering at the Pit of the Stomach, Swimming of the Head, Hurled or Difficult Breathing, Fluttering at the Heart, Choking or Suilbcating Sensations when in a lying posture, Dimness of Vision Dots or Webs before the Sight, Dull Pain in the Head, Dell, clencki:Perspiration, Yellowness of the Skid and Pain in the Side, Back, Chest, Limbs, etc.; Sudden Flushes of Heal, Burning'of the Flesh, Constant Imaginings of Evil and Great Depression of Spirits. The sufferer from these diseases should exer cise the greatest caution in the-selection of a remedy for his case, purchasing on 1 y that which he is as-sured from his in rt6 vestigations and in- entries possesses true merit, is skill- fully compounded is free from injurious ingredients and has estab lished for itself a reputation ihr the cure of these diseases. In this connection we would submit these well-known remedies— UtIOVI.A.NbOS GERMAN MITERS, MEI UOOPLANWS GERMAN TONIC, Prepared by DR. C. Ili. JACKSON, Phikulelphia, Pa. Twenty-two years since they were first intro- duced into this country from Germany, during which time they have undoubtedly performed more cures, and benetitted suffering humanity to' a greater extent, . than any other remedies known to .the public. *These remediestrill effectually cure Liver Com plaint, Jaundloe, Dyspepsia, Chronic or Nervous Debility. F Chronic, Diarrhom, , Diseases of the nevi andel' diseas es arising from a dis- orde red Liver, Stomach, or Intestines. DEBILITY. Resulting from ens , cause whatever; Prostra tion or the System, Unlaced by Severe ' Labor, Hardships, Exposure, Fevers, Etc. There is no medicine extant equal to these remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor is im parted to the whole system, the appetite is strengthened, food is enjoyed, the stomach di gests promptly, the blood is prattled, the com plexion becomes sound andhealthY, the yellow tinge is eradicated from the eyes, a bloom is given to the cheeks, and the weak and nervous invalid becomes a strong and healthy being. Persons advanced in we, and feeling the hand of time weighing heavily upon them, with , all its attendant Ws, will find in the use of this BITTERS or the TONIC, an elixir that will -in stil new life into their veins, restore In a meas ure the enerys and ardor of more youthful days, build up their shrunken forms and give health and happiness to their remaining years., NOTICE. It is a well established feet that fully one-half Of the female portion of our population are seldom in the en-T Joyment of good health; or, to use 1.1_4 their owe ext don, ''never lee 1 well." They are n gold, devoid of all energy, extremely nen.? and have no appetite. To this class of persons the BITTERS, or the TONIC, is especially recommended. Weak and delicate children are made strong by the use of tither of these remedies.; They will cure every case of MARAI33II7B, without Sall.

The Democratic party begins the campaiga wider the most auspicious circumstances, with a cotuidence in success, an enthusiasm prAumanse, and a vigorous self reliance that has not been experienced in Many years. Thelato elections show conclusively that a vast nutiority of the nation are ready to es pouse our standard if wo onlY prove faithful to our creed, and continue to stand tirmlyby the interests of the country. But to make victory certain something more is necessary than mere dependence up on the truth of our principles. In the flush of self-confidence, 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 those of amore bloody nature, depend for their re sults more on the skill,courage„determination . and energy of the contesting foes than upon th e sacredness of their cause, or the convictions of the partlcipats. The Democracy 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 again returned to us that confidence which it would have been well if they had never parted with. The all-important necessity ,of the day, on, the part of our political • friends is—work! wows 1! WORK 11 ! We must be thoroughly organized and pre pared for the campaign. Every man must consider that he owes a personal duty in the bunter, as indeed he does, tbr there is no one so humble, bathe is in some way mom or leas concerned in the hops at stake. All the dianietalnust be canvassed, so that tea.may know where it willbe most advantageous-to employ our energies. The young men must be encouraged to lend a helpingtand. Those who have been led Wray must be brought back to tho fold, and Democratic arguments placed in their reach, that they may know the distinctive questions which divide par- ties, and no longer be misled by 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 up to a full conscious ness of -its truth, that the most effective weapon towards success is the wide dig/A/ti ff= ef sound and graigAtibrward losainews- PaPell. One good journal in a family will do 'more towards moulding its political convictions than all other influences, and fifty copies cir culated in any locality for six months will accomplish more efficient service than a doz en costly mass meetings. The Democratic party has never displayed that zeal in supporting its press that it need ed, and to that cause, as much as anything 'else, may be attributed Its misfortunes during the last 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 contrast 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 method 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 of. Republican liberty. Our public 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 theirccrunty 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 advanee, ought to ensure the doub ling of our subscription list inside of the next .six mouths. . But to place it within the reach of all,we offer to take sit month subseriptteas at ONE • DOLLAR in advance, 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 work, before the spring operations set in, and while TOWS have time to read, and reflect over the facts presented to them.' Let it not be delayed under the impression that the matter can be as well attended to by-and-by. More ad vantageoui work can be rendered daring the next two months can be performed due. lug 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 haie an immense influence over the mind of the vo ter who peruses the paper. : We earnestly urge tlils important matter upon our Mends as by all odds the most re liable means of helping the cause. • Let every one of oar present subscribers see his Democratic neighbor at once, and if he Is not a patron already, induce Wm to sub scribe for aix months, if he cannot for a year.

JONES Babies are of two kinds, male and female, and me usually put up in packages of one, though sometimes two, in which case they are called' twins, when nearly of the same age. They are not - confined to any particu lar locality, but arc found plentifully distri buted over all parts of the inhabited coun tries. Their ages are various and have a wide range. We have known them as young as easy to calculate time on a watch dial, and then again we have seen them where they have acquired the healthy age of 25, with. a fair prospect of advancing still fur ther to babyhood. Their weight depends a great deal on their. heft ; but as they have twenty-one years to grow in before it, costs them anything, it don't matter so much how big_ they happen to be when they commence. Probably babies have more pet names than any other known article of their size. In the tender years of life, say the first two, they are lovingly addressed by such endear ing names as Old Beautiful, Sweetness, Him 'Darling, Honeycomb, Papa's Hope, Mamma's Joy, Old Blessed, Noble Handsome, sup posed to be a contradiction of Old Hand some, and hundreds of other appellations which we never could translate. For several years, until they can get old -enough to play out of doors and soil their Ewes, their lives arc one long continuous game of Copenhagen, everybody laboring under the delusion that all babies are good for is to kiss, consequently to see one is to kiss it. We cannot recollect of ever finding ourselves in the presence of a baby but what the fond mother would say to it, Now" be a good little deary and give gentleman a nice sweet kiss." Of course wo accepted it, though kissing ain't our forte. We are natu rally modest, and don't care to be seen kiss ing anybody. We don't 'hanker after it as some of our friends do. We are willing to kiss ,a pretty girl occasionally, for her moth er's sake, or even for her own, rather than have any trouble yet We think if said pretty girl owed us a kiss, we should much prefer to have it remain on interest to have it paid when it became due; :we never should pre: sent our. bill .and demand payment—not if we continued perfectly sane. We under stand that there are quite a number of per sons who differ from us in regard to kissing ; if so let them kigs, we cannot stop to argue the point, as our subject treats of babies. ' The monotony of babies' lives is varied by such little incidents as an attack of the mea ales, mumps, or croup, and we would not neglect to speak of cutting teeth. A baby that has got through all these infantile troubles, is considered worth some seventy five dollars more than one who has them in prospect The diseases are, however, easily treated, and in case of the measles, all that is necessary to have them "break out" well, and to (left° it that' they don't "strike in." With the mumps, just let them "mump" round a day or two, and they will come out nil right With the croup it -is necessary to "strike ile," generally "goose ile," and if ap plied in season, 'twill soon lubricate the throat without much trouble. Cutting teeth runs longer than either of the other diseases, yet by a timely investment of a robber ring and rattle, you get rid of a doctor's bill. When we were young, we cut our teeth on a silver dollar, but as dollars arc now made of paper, they won't stand the wear and tear of a whole set of teeth, and 'tis cheaper in the end to.invest in the rubber ring. Learning to Walk and talk are two achieve ments about which too much cannot be said. The walking, though, is a mere ngthing com pared to talking; yet it is more dangerous, and accidents oftener occur ; still they usually acquire the art with then ecessary breaking of some crockery or fbrniture, which they frantically clutch at in order to save a fall. During the seasoe of practicing noth ing can drop in the house, or the least noise be made, but the mother will drop whatever she has in her hands and • cry out : "There goes Willie; what has he done . now I" and nisherto the scene of action to -find perhaps a flower pot on the floor, and Willie engaged• in scattering its contents about the room. After clearing up the- debris, the mother re turns to her work, thanking her stars that it was only a choice verbena that was ruined, and not Willie's ne4t. The conversation at the beginning is a lit tle difficult to understand. They abbreviate a great deal, and throw aside all pronouns as perfectly useless. Listening to their talk is like attending ,an Italian Opera; one hears the noise, but can't tell what it means. The first "pew or "mamma," distinctly - spoken, is worth five dollars to either of the delighted parents. Babies must not only talk them selves, but must be talked to, and the amount of baby talk used in a common sized family Is prodigious. Baby's appearance opens a new field to all. The old hands, who have Men babies before„ converse in the language quite fluently, but 'tis ludicrous to hear a be ginner undertake to master this difficult tongue. Talking baby talk is an art which few ever acquire to perfection, though, by constant practice, the most stupid can par tially acquire it, yet it takes two or three gen erations of babies to make a perfect linguist: The effect a. baby produces on a fry, no matter how sober said family may be, is won derfill to beholiL It completely turns. the heads of all. Ifs pardeular one behave more insane or is carried more away than the rest, we think grandma will bear off the palm, al though, pa, ma, grandpa, aunt, and a long list of cousins are not counted out by any means. ,We think the mother acts the most sensibly, though even she has- het failings and weak points in regard to the baby, and will occasionally exhibit a trace of insanity when dilating upon his - charms and aceom plishments. The effect babies have on progression is self-evident. No one ever knew of a baby inferior to any other preceding baby. On the contrary, each one is a little in advance of any yet born; and when we think of the vast number yet to be, and how every one will be a trifle superior to its predecessor, what a glorious flame awaits us!. We shall - eventually reach perfection. How can those persons who believe that we retrograde in stead of progress, reconcile this fact with their aboard theory. Some people, a little enthusiastic, look upon a baby as "a thing - of beauty and a joy !brewer." Now, we have seen sonic whom we thought had a liberal dhicount on their "beauty," and "their "joy- forever" would quickly vanish-on having, them commence to cry and "refuse to be comforted," when left in our charm, and we busily engaged in read ing or wriUng. . • _ It must be comtbrting to a num, no Matter how ugly or- how despised he may be. to i think that he was once a baby, belovedissr al large circle of relatives and, friends.

Chief JuAice Chase's Vietvc`; A correspondent of the New York Herald, who professes to be in the Chief' Jug. tices confidence, sends to that paper ,the fol lowing statement of his political opinions. As it has been widely copied, without a de nial Dy the Chief Justice's or his friends; we infer that the statement is reliable The Chief Justice frankly admits that the Radical party and himsef differ widely in their views, and as parties arc now organized he is for the Democratic party. He differs from them upon only one point—that of uni versal manhood suffrage. He is agreed with them on all other issues. Incidentally he remarked if he were elected by that party to the presidency, while he would certainly car ry out their policy faithfully, he would labor to make the party one of permanent usefulness upon the broad ground of nationality and ma terial progress. In the opinion of the Chief Justice, the deplorable condition of the Southern States demands not only the proper consideration of Congress, but also material aid from the General Government. The war has been. ended for three years, and those States should be in practical relations with the Govern ment. There is no constitutional authority to hold them in subjugation, and •if there were it would be alike :unwise and unjust. Ile favored the enfranchisement of every white man in the South, and removing the political disabilities of every man in the no-, tion. He thinks freedom and manhood suffrage should be an unquestioned right, but he controverts the idea that any other power than the States themselves can confer at. He holds that the General Government has no control over the question, and the power rests in the States, where alone it should re side. The Chief Justice would remove the po. litical disabilities imposed on the people of the South by the fourteenth amendment. But as a mode of relief, and also as an act which as those States, as now organized, will un doubtedly ratify it, he proposes a general am nesty as a mode of relief, as an act which would tend toward the reconciliation of the two sections. Furthermore, hi"..-fegards this as absolutely necessary, as•the provisions of that amendment exclude thousands from of fice path under the Government and the States, and this will lead to complications which should be avoided. Hr. Chase urges that the most liberal aid should be extended to the South in improv ing their railroad system and also their navi gable rivers. He thinks aid should be giNien to the levees on the Mississippi, build new ones wherever they are required, even from Cairo 'to the Gulf. - That the millions of acres of land which would be reclaimed in the valley of the Mississippi by a judicious levee syStem would quadruple the producing powers of that section and-add correspond ingly to the wealth and prosperity of the country. Mr. Chase strenuously urges the early re turn to specie payments. He believes it could be done without damage to any inter ests; and in a comparatively short period of timedt would not matter whether the bonds were paid in greenbacks or "old, as the pub lic credit would be re-established and green backs be worth par value. Mr. Chase condemited^in strong terms the trial of citizens: by military commissions in time of peace. He regards it as an arro gant assumption of power most dangerous to the country, and thinks it should not be tolerated. The Chief Justice made no refer ence whatever to the McArdie case, but his opinion, as recorded in the celebrated Milligan case, admits of no doubt as to what they are. Mr. Chase exiiressed the hope that if Mr. Johnson should reorganize his Cabinet, he would appoint a proper proportion .of its members front the Southern States. In the course of his conversation he de precated the course of Congress, especially. of the House of Representatives. He consi ders their assaults on the judiciary and other legislative nets unwise, and calculated to arouse the distrust and embitter the animos. tics between the different sections. In reply to a question, Mr. Chase 'said the pardoning power was certainly a 'constitu tional prcrog,utire of the President, and Con gress had no power to abridge it." , The Printers Visit Andy. The delegates to the National Typograph ical Union, in session at Washington, last week, called upon the President in a body, arid were received by him with extreme cordiality. In reply to the address of• their chief officer, President Johnson said : "It was a little dangerous for him to make a speech, especially at this time, when not long since he had been arraigned for makirfg a speech, and expressing his opinion in re ference to nui pub'-:e affairs, as a citizen of the United States. The time had been when the right , f free speech was the great privi lege of cry citizen and every officer. He was 'Tea to say that the allusions made here to-day were peculiarly gratifying to him. When men succeed in their aspirations to reach high positions from low ones, it often happened that they too readily and too will ingly forget the place from which they sprung. It was a fundamental principle with him never to forget his • former position or state in life. He sometimes received com munications with slurs and iuuendoes in re ference to trades or occupations ; but he de sired to say to all, that the reason why more were not me banks was because they had not the ability. "Many of the occurrences in the early period of his life caused him great happiness. It was not a person's calling which disgraced him. If we never disgrace our profession it will never disgrace us. It is a principle of this Government that worth makes the man, and the want of it the fellow. I have been called a Democrat, but my Democracy con sists in measuring every man by his merit and his worth. He remembered the day when he was a journeyman, and often looked back to those days with, pride and pleasure. He had been a mechanic. in the proper sense of the term, and was called a good one. Ile had always tried to exeelinhi's business, and, -thanks be to God, so far he hoped he had been successful. He had the reputation of doing his work, and always complying with his promises. "They bad correctly said, that in our Gov ernment all could-aspire from the lowest to to the highest position in the Government ; and while that is the framework and genius of the Government, it would be preserved. He would rather be a mechanic, and one in the proper sense of the term, with the repute tion that one deserves, than to be the recipi ent of 'all thohonor-that- this or any other Government could confer upon him. These were insignias of peace, prosperity, and good will of one man toward another. Ile was glad to meet such a large portion of intelri gmt• meenanies, and considered it a high honor to have them call upon him. He de sired to meet them in a friendly manner, and not with any set speech. Since he had been in public life, every vote, or message from him, where the question had been in volved, had been to elevate the great mass of the working people, which had been the leading object of his lite. • "lie had been called a Democrat, and some might call him an aristocrat. He had al ways, and did now advocate the aristocracy of labor. That was the kind of aristocracy which should he cherished in this country. Aristocracy of labor, of virtue, of intelligence. and talent had always had his highest admi ration, Ho did not speak in any party sense, but upon first principles, the basis upon which. society and our. Government rested. .Again-thanking the Convention for the high honor paid ,him, ho sincerely trusted that each and every' one of them would accept his best wishes for his future welfare and prosperity." Each member of the Convention then took the President by the hand; and, after paying then' respects, withdrew. 3Es:rumour is certainly made rather per plexing on . the opposite side of the globe. The little "son of Heaven," , aged thirteen, who is to reign over four hundred millions of Chinese some of these days, must be provided with a wife. A wife in the Western sense of the word, the partners of his joys and sor rows, he must have, although, when he gets to be a hill grown Emperor, ho will be bet ter provided, as he will have several score of ladies ht ettendanee - upon ,his court. The candidates for the exalted position of wife and future Empress of the Celestial King dom, are not, as in:Europe, selected from, the loyal families only. • The only condition is that they shall be members of the dominant race,i'beantifill in form and feature, clear in. intellect, and free from physical disease or blemish." Ninety-six suck in closed car riages, were inspected by the dowager Em press, for they do the selecting, and of these twenty were at first retained. These were again weeded out and sbF retained. Five more will be eliminated, and the Wtunate one will be selected, who will be trained in court manners, several years, before she Ls married. Verily our Antipodes do curious things.
