They are both equally good, and contain Mt

two being a mere matter of taste, the Tonic be
ing the most palatable.
The stomach, from a variety of causes, such
as Indigestion, Dys- pepsin Nervous
De
etc., is very , apt to have its func
tions &ranged. The NJ Liver, sympathizing
as closely as it does with the Stomach,
'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 Mood to'the Head, Acidity of the Stom
ach, Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food,Full
ness or Weight in the Stomach. Sour Eructa

etc., Sudden Flushes of Heat, Burning of the
Flesh; Constant Imaginings of Evil and Great

Thr sufferer from these diseases should exer •

remedy for his case, purchasing only
that which he is as- cured from his In

Philadelphia, 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 penefltteri suffering humanity
to a greater extent, than any other remedies
known to the public.
These remedies will effectually cure Liver Com
plaln t , Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Chronic
or Nervous Debility,, - 10 Chronic Diarrinea,
Diseases of the Kid- r neys and all diseas
es arising from a din- ordered Liver,
Stomach, or Intestines.
13E131 - I.arl'X',
Resulting from any cause whatever; Prostra
tion of theSvstem, Induced by Severe
Lab r, riartlships, Expo ire,,
Fevers. Etc.
. There Is no medicine extant equal to these
remedies in such eases. A tone rind vigor is im
parted to the whole system, the appetite is
strengthened, food Is enjoyed, the stomach di
gests promptly, the blood is purified, the com
plexion becomes sound and healthy, the yellow
tinge is eradicated from the eves, a bloom is
given to the cheeks, and the weak unit nervous
invalid becomes a strong and healthy being.
Persons advanced in life, and feeling the hand
of time weighing heavily - upon them, with all
its attendant ills, will find in the use of this
BITTERS, or the TO.NIC;rin elixir that will In
stil new life Into their restore in a meas
ure the energy and ardorof more youthful days,
build up their shrunken forms and give health
and happine , ; to their remaining year.

It I,:a e ell establishisl fact that fully one-half
of the female portion of our population
ate seldooritithe en- T joyment of good
health; or, to use Li their own expres
sion, "never t eel well." They are lan
guhl, devoid of all energy, extremely nervous,
and have no appetite'.
To this class of persons the LIVITERS, or the
WNW, is especially recommended.
Weak and delicate children are made strong
by the use of • Mier of these remedies. They
will cure every case of MARASMUS, without
tail. Thousands of certificates have accumula
ted In the hands of the proprietor, but space
will allow of but few. Those, It will be observed,
arc men of note and of such standing that they
must be believed.

Just nitictk years :old two ago to-day,
A band of valiant men of noble birth,
With hearts as true as steel, but full of love
To God supreme and all Mankind,
Feeling the heavy load of tyrants' chains,
With one accord met and proclaimed
These truths to be self-evident :
That life and liberty, and the pursuit
Of happiness, by God himself to all mankind
Were given. as their inalienable right.
With . elush. of :trim, with cannon's ileafeit
Mg roar,
With garments deeply dyed in human gore,
I'hrough perils mast severe am! suffering
extreme,
l'iirough years a sickening war, with all
its train
.tf widows' sighs,ofornhang' mournfulcries;
With sacrifice of life and all that's dear, •
Ilt force of arms our noble sires
'munched the world to own the : glorious
truth;
Phat equal laws and equal rights
‘re God's free gift to all mankind.
With wonder and amazement the Orien
tals gazed
On this bright We.-tern star of slate •
.Some cursed, some blessed, some Loped,
some prayed,
•
nut all believed no happy fate
Coitalo'er befall the new experiment.
But liberty high on our banners raised;
Liberty to all, to rich, to poor, to wiie,
To fools, to great and small alike,
With knowledge free as air we bfeathe,
So universally diffused abroad,
that he svho runs may read,
Makes this loved Government mol4:firmly
stand .
Than all the cities of the aneletits, whose
itope
11 ;ts pineed in rocl:i and metal ham ; for
this
Is founded on the eternal law of God.
Here on our free and sacred soil,
The oppressed from every land do find
A home of freedom and security.
No other land so good a home affords
To native horn or citizens of foreign birth
To be a citizen of these United States
A passport and protection guarantees
Round the whole world in every clime,
While all with adoration bow before
The stars and stripes, that badge of liberty
No other land such faithful care bestows
On those \rho, cannot for themselves pro-
vide.
All paupers have a free and Cheerful home
The deaf, the blind, and the insane
Asylums find for their protection and sup
port.
No other laud so well provides for those,
Who fight her battles. In field or camp,
On ship at sea, in hm.pital or Sint,
All comforts there are found, the very best,
Such as no other land ati'ord4.
And when the hem watilor's cold in death,
lie's - decently interred, Ids grave is marked
By monument and strewed with fragrant
flowers.

At thy proud shriuc we humbly and de

But is this 0, no A brighter day
Ne'er dawned on thi-; grand commonwealth.
By legislative law a gift as grand as it is

treely :!.rante.l for the aid of those
Who have no quiet home - nor sympathizing

And we to-day have come to seal the sacred
gift,
\nd here erect a monument of which all
may be proud.
Here on this sacteil spot, 'neath Heaven's
broad
Canopy, a band ef brotherhoods and citizens
Of every rank, are met with single purpose.
All sects and parties, societies and clans,
With common motive as one man,vnite
To raise this monument of publielcharity;
Here all is love and harmony; each heart
beats free, ,
And each with other vies to magnify
The glories of tliis glorious day,
This corner stone we lay in charity,
And as each stone is added to this edifice,
May it be firmly held by the cement of 16ve.
And as these walls towards Heaven do raise,
May all our hearts be raised ingratitude
To God, who gave the`will and the ability
To build .this noble structure.
And when we all have paYied away, and
these
Bright corms have crumbled into clay,
3lay this proud building stand a beacon light
For ageq,. to invite the sick who have no
home
•Nor friends to its secure retreat.
May wounds and sickness here be dressed
And healed with best of hutnamskill,
While the wine rind oil of sympathy
Be freely poured in those lone hearts
That here a home may fld.
Great God, accept this day our huratle
thanks,
For all thy mercies so bountifully bestowed
And may thy bleSsing rest on us and all
Our race, till time shall be no more.
General Blair Defines his Position.
WASHINGTON, Jade 30.
Jog. 0. Broadhead :
Dr:An CoLoxEr.: . In reply to your inqui
ries, I beg leave to say that I leave you to
determine, on consultation with my friends
from Missouri, whether - my name shall be
presented to the Democratic Convention,
and to.gubmit the following; as what I con
sider thereal and only issue in this contest.
The reconstruction policy of the Radicals
will be complete before the next election; the
Suites, so long excluded, will have been ad
mitted; negro suffrage established and the
carpet-baggers installed in their seats in both
branches of Congress. There is no possibility
of changing the political character of the
Senate; even if the Democrats should elect
their President and a majority of the popular
branch of Congress. We cannot, therefore,
undo the Radical plan of reconstruction by
Congressional action; the Senate will con
tinue albar to its repeal. Must we submit to
it? Ildw can it be overthrown? It can only
'be overthrown by the authority of the exe
cutive,' who is , sworn to, maintain the Con
stitution, and who will ail to do his duty if
he allows the Constitution to perish under a
series of Cotigressional enactments which are
in palpable violation of its fundamental prin
ciples.
If the President elected by the Democracy
enforces or permits others to these
Reconstruction acts, the Radicals, by the ac
cession of twenty spurious Senators and fifty
Representatives, will control both branches
4Congress, and his administration will be
I
as powerless as the present one of Mr. John
son.
There is but one way to restore the GOW
ernmen; anti the Constitution, and that is for
the President elect to declare these acts null
and void, disperse the carpet-bag State gov
ernments, allow the white people to reorgan
ize tl 'drown governments, and elect Senators
and Representatives. The I louse of Represen
tatives will contain a majority 01
from the North, and they will admit the Re
presentatives elected by the white people of
the South, and with the coperation of the
President it will not be difficult to compel
the Senate to submit once more to the all
gations of the Constitution. It will not be
able to withstand the public judgment, it dis
tinctly invoked and clearly expressed, on this
fundamental issue, and it is the sure way to
avoid all future strife to put this issue plainly
to the country.
I repeat that this is the real and only ques
tion which we should allow. to control us:
Shall we submit to the usurpations by which
the Government has been overthrown or
shall we exert ourselycs for its full and com
plete restoration. 'lt is iille,to talk of bonds,
greenbacks, gold, the public faith and the
public credit: What can a Democratic Presi
dent do in regent to any of these with a
Congress in both branches controlled by the
carpet-baggers and their allies? He will be
powerless to stop the supplies by which idle
negroes are organized into political clubs—
by which an army, is maintained to protect
these vagabonds in their outrage upon the
ballot - These, and things like these, which
eat up-the revenues and resources of the Gov
ennent and destroy its credit, make the
difference between gold and greenbacks. We
must restore the Constitution before we can
restore the; finances, and to do this we must.
have a President who will execute the will
of. the people by trampling • into dust. the
qurrationk of Congress, known as the recon-
struetion acts. I Nri,ll to stand hr.fore the
Convention upon this issue, hut it k one
which embraces everything else that is of
value in its large and comprehensive results.
It is the one thing that includes ail that is
worth a colite.d, and tlithout it there is noth
ing that givr: dignity, honor or value to the
struggle. Your friend,
\NN P: lit, wt.

The Cooper Institute %VII, densely crowded
last evening in response to an invitation
tendered by the Jackson CI lb—a young
man's Democratic or ,, anization—to listen to
nu hlrc4s from ex-Governor Horatio Sey
mour upon the political situation. • Upon
rising to address the audience Governor Sey
tnour was lointly applawlea He , poke
follows :
• We see in every part of our land proofs of
a wide-spread change in political feeling.
Ns the evils of misgovernment unlold.theni
selve, the best men of the Republican party
are driven - front its ranks. At its late Con
vention its policy wxs shaped in a gre•tt
tie
gree by those who were most 1, it/lent in their
passions and most initial in the policy they
urge upon our people. While the ablest
Republicans refused to go on with a party
which tramples upon a judiciary, usurps
poser and is umicttling all itleaS of political
morality, and unhinging :ill the basilic- , ma
chinery of our land, we are laboring under
some cmharraments from the great volume
of the change in our favor. Those who ale
rallying around the btaudard cunsatutiuu
al rights have heretofore' held - conflicting
views with regard to the events of the past
eight years, and the question is how can we
set this great majority in the field so arrayed
that they eau drive oat of place the discip
lined and desperate horde of office holders
who now misgovern our country? This is thb
only problem to be settled. The American
people are disgusted with - the conduct of the
Congressional party. can we mark out a
policy which will unite tim majority under
out standard? This can only be done by a
thoughtful, forbearing, unselfish course. At
the same time we must be outspoken and
must confront ail the questions which per
plex us.
4
The next eh•ction will be controlled by
thoughtful badness and laboring men. No
party.c•:m gain their support unless its tone
and temper show that it ,uck , ; to • gct our
country out of its troubled condition. Ap
peals to prejudice arm passion will have no
weight. Thee were tried at the late Repub
lican Convention. I need not say with what
cold indiTerence they have been received by
the public. The quiet, watchful citizens who
seek for the protection of a wise
,administra
tion of government now.turn their eyes upon
us. We must look to it that we take no
positions which will not bear the closed
scrutiny.
THE FINANCIAL CONDITION or Tal-; corxruv
forces itself upon our attention. AMOUEt the
evil results of titr moneye 1 ;111.1 tax Policy,
the most Iturtful"is theje.P. Ish 3 it has made'
between the sections of o.lr ( ourttry. It has
•divided our country into debtor and creditor
States. It builds favored interests and
crushes out the industry of.other classes. It
ts.:..tes toil and lets Homo Turin of wealth go
free from the cost of the clov , ..rnment. If
gives to labor atul laisine,s a debased money
and to the untaxed bondholder a sterling
coin. These curses upon honest industry
have grown up like weed, among the sacred
iiiterc,ts of contract.. tru,ts, and tha fruit, of
labor until we'are troubled how to - root out
the tares.sown by evil spirits, without kill
ing the crops planted and tillediiy lion( st in
dustry.
.Yearv, ago we pointed out tho wronz done
to the West by making them send nearly
twice as many soldiers to the waf from, each
congressional war district its were demanded
front Vermont or Mat‘sachnsett.-. 1 , while the
currency given to them under the banking
system was not one quarter as great; al
though the Western States needed currency
'the mo-d. The act authorizing the banks of
New York to organize under it general bank
ing law was not signed, because the currency
was unjustly divided, and because the sys
tem made a useless tax upon our people of
eighteen millions of dollars in gold each
year. Thus we tried at an early day to save
our country form sectional questions. •In
vain we warned the East and West against
an unwise policy.
The East and WCbt uphold tile policy of
the admini.tration, and we Lave now to deal
with the results. What are some of them ?
All of the States are heavily taxed, but some
of them get hack as much, some more, than
they pay out, while others get but little. In
the.case of the heaviest item of expense—the
military and naval system, the Western
States 12,ret nothing back except the cost of
the Indian war, IVltile large sums are spent
at the South. The next heaviest item is the
interest of-the debt. The West Ltet but a
small stun back ; tie mo-d of it i; paid to the
Northern Atlantic States. Tie indirect two:,
tariffs, are still more hurtful to the West,
as they are practically premiums givca to
Ea , tern Inanurailurers.
EXT/i.kVAU.kNefl O 1 TIO; JUDICALS
Since the war closed, in 1,965, the Govern
ment,has spent for its expenses, in addition
to payments on principal or interest of the
public debt, the sum of more than one thous
and million dollars.. Of this sum there has
been spent nearly eight hundred million dol
lars on the army and navy, and for. military
purposes. This is nearly one-third of the
National debt. This was spent in the time
of peace. The cost of our navy betore the
war was about thirteen million dollars each
year. Since the war, when our shipping has
been swept from the ocean by taxation, the
annual average cost has been thirty million
dollars, although we have now no carrying
trade , to protect. While money is thus
wasted without scruple upon the army and
navy, if any aid is sought to le4sen the cost
of transportation for the farmers of the West
or to cheapen food for the laborors . of the•
East, we are at once treated with Crmgress-
binal speeches upon the virtues of economy.
If from this amount there had been saved
and paid upon the debt the suns of five lm
dredmillion dollars, how changed would our
condition have been ? With this paythent,
which would have cut down the debt to
about two thou Sand million dollars, our credit
would at least have been as good as that of
Great Britain. It is because we ilk! not thus
apply this money to this purpose, but spent
it upon the riegro policy, the military despo
tisms and other abuses of government that
our credit is so low. The world saw we
were violating our faith with the public cred
itor and the taxpayers alike, when the money
was used for the partisan purposes of keep
ing the South out of the Union until Sham
governments.could be manufhetured by mili
tary violence and Congressional action.
The world not only saw this monslrous
perversion of the money wrung from the
people by taxation, but it also saw that it
made through a long series of years still
greater annual expenses unavoidable: When
the entire control of the Southern States is
given over, unchecked by the intelligenCe of
the white race, to untutored negroes, whom
the people of the North have said to be unfit
for voters ; when the unfortunate Africans,
drunk with usuatpower and g3aded on by
bad and designing men, shall make life and
property unsafe , and stall shock and disgust
the world with Outrages, we shall he forced
to pay still greater armies. Up to this time
'the South has had at least en intelligent
tyranny- in military officers. Every -man
who is not blinded by bate or bigotry looks
forward with horror to the condition of the
South under negro domination. The bad
filth of the public creditor and taxpayer in
thus unsettling our. Union, orkleping the
South in a condition where it cannot help
the national prosperity, but is made a heavy .
load upon the country, is the real cause of
our debased credit. The taxpayer was told
the burden put upon him was, to pay the
debt ; but the Money was not used in good
faith to him, for the debt still stands ; nor-in
good faith to the creditor, for be was not
paid what he should have been ; but it was
used hi a way which alarmed both—in a way
that tainted the nation's credit, kept up tax
ation by keeping up the rate of interest,
while it sank the value of the bonds, and with
them carried down the paper currency; and
thus wronged the laborer and the pensioner.
But for the policy of bad faith, of partisan
purposes, mad folly, we could to-day borrow
money as cheaply as Great Britain; but we
have cursed the taxpayer, the laborer, the
pensioner, the public creditor, for the sakeof
cursing the people of the South with military
despotism and negro domination. Every
one must see if we bad paid otr one-fifth of
our debt; had kept down the cost of govern
ment, had given peace to our Union, had
built, up industry and good order in the
South, not ode of the evils which now afflict
us could have existed. Our whole condition
would have been changed. We demand
that our currency shall be made as good as
gold; not by contracting the amount but -by
contracting the expenses of government.
We are against measures which will
pull
down lavinciA credit and call fox 111041! which
shall lilt pip the naM,nal credit. Whe n We
lop the, waste p iv a 11.1111/
01 ten per cent, and take n course wlmth will
enable IN to borrow money upon the rates
paid by other nations tt c shall add to the
dignity and power brour Union. When we
trive value to our bonds by using the money
drawn by taxation 'to the payment of our
debt and not to the military and negro
schemes, we shall relieve the taxpayer, the
hill holder, and give strength and value to
the claims of the public creditor. We have

credit of the butted States would have been
as good as that oft.;,reat Britain. This rapid
payment, and the proof it would have given
of good faith, would have carried the national
credit to the highest ,point. The bond.,
have been worth much more in the hands or
the holders, and yet the taxpayers would he
better off, fir the cost of the govei ninent
would be cut .down es its credit rose. 'We
could get out new bonds, bearing lees interest,
which would not have the odious exemption
from taxation. Our debt would have ken
lesq, our hirer( st lower and our taxes reaped,
The hours of labor could be 4:urn:lied. What
at/11 , lengthen:, the time or tun? it we were
free from any form of taxation, direct or in
direct, six hours of work would earu a.. much
as ten do now. One hour more of work .
ought to meet a laborer's share of the cost of
government; another hour should pay his
-.hare of the majored th.bt. lle now works
two hours more each day than he on.zilt to
pay for the military and negro policy of Con
gress and it, corrupt schemes. It has ju-t
passed a law that makes eight Loma a day's
labor,while it piles up a load of taxation which
forces the laborer to work ten hour., or
starve. But the honest use
of this live hundred million of dollars
would not have stopped here. When it car
ried our bonds to the level of specie value,
it would have carried up our currency to the
value of specie. The plan of making our
currency as good as gold by contracting its
volume carries with it great distress and suf
feting. But if we lift up its value, by getting
rid of the htint upon the national credit, it
harms no one, it blesses all. Now our legal
tenders•and bank currency must be debased,
while our national bonds stand discredited.
They must rise and fall together. They
are all based upon the national credit. Bank
notes cannot he worth more than the bonds
which secure them. If, then, the P 00,000,000
had been duly and honestly used to pay our
debt, to-day tho taxpayers would-have been
relieved, the mechanic, laborer and pensioner
would be paid in coin, or money good as
coin, and would not lie cheated out of one
quarter of their due:, by false dollars. The
holler of bonds is sating banks or life in
surance would be better oil, as their securities
would he satl r and wut th inure. There would
be no question h )4 - they should be paid, for
this question grows out of the follies of those
in power and will dt, appear from the places
they ti,Nr hold, The bondholder would no

nut he cliar;ed with the taxation which ha‘,
been used to hurt, not to help, his claim.

TAXATION INCE.1:1 4, 1:11 NI var. NATION - AL
DE OT.
In another way the Republicans do a con,-
staut wrong to the bondholders. In answer
to complaints of heavy taxation, they say it
cannot be helped with our heavy debt, and
thus throw the whole odium on the debt.
Why do they not tell the truth and say one
third of our taxation is made by our debt''
Then they will be asked, tYhat makes the
two-thirds? This question they do not want
to have asked, and they do not want to an
swer. Wht u they do answer the eyes of all:
classes will be opened. They will be forced to
say that lastyeer thoy spent, by reports of the
Committee of Ways and Means $379,178 Oee, •
and this in the third year of•peace. ' Well,
say our well meaning Republican friends, we
suppose the interest of the debt took most of '
it. Oh, no; that took $1.10,-115,381, not quite
as much as was spent by the War and Navy
Departments, which was $149,472,165, and
besides this we spent $60,292,513 thr other
things, Why, that is $20,000,000 more than
the Deinocrats spend for army and navy, and
all the expenses of Government put together.
But why do von spend $25,613,1173 on the
navy, when it formerly cost $12,000,000 annu
ally? Has American shipping grown so much
that we have to keep up vast navies to pro
tect it? Olt, no. Our , tariffs have 'swept
American ships front the ocean; we have lost
se carrying trade; the British have got that.
Then why don't you give the builders of
merchant ships the money spent on the navy
by way of drawback on duties? Would that
start work at our shipyards? Oh, yes, half
~the cost would do it. Then, why is it not
done? We do not think- of it, really ; we
have been so busy with the impeachment and
negro questions that we forgot our sailors and
mechanics. But we see that fly , - War De•--
part:tient spent this year SI2• 4 SiS,IIO, when
the year before it spent only about $95,000,000.
The longer we have peace the more the army,
te,sts. thee is this Well it costs a great deal
to keep !-eldiers awl Freedmen's Bureau
agent' :ell to feed and clothe negroes at the
south. But why do you do it? Let the
neertie , support themselves as we do: You
m tke the laborers of the North work to feed
and clothe these idle Africans. True; but
by so doing we get their votes, and they will
send our traveling agents to Congress; we
sltall get twenty Senators in this way, while
a majority of the people of the United States
in nine States have only eighteen. The peo
ple may vote as they please, but they cannot
get the Smate, nor repeal any of the laws we
gut through fur our advantage, we have man
:teed it so that one quarter of the people hat e
more power' in the Senate than the three
quarters. We now own the negroes of the
south. Did we riot bey them with your blood
and money? We now see where the money
g9es; we utpw see why the credit of our
country is so tainted; we now see why the
value of our paper money is sinking. It was
only at twenty-one per cent. discount m 1966;
it is now at a discount of about twenty-nine
per Cent.: we now see why our laborers and
pensioners are Omitted by talse dollars. If the
mechanic cares to know why die works so
many hours let hip study the reports of the
Secretary of the Treasury. It is clear why
business is hindered and business men per
plexed. We now kuow'why the public cred
itor is harassed by our dishonored credit and
the ta\payer is hunted -down by the tax
gatherer. The negro military policy of the
Republican partyis at the bottom of all the ti
