They are both equally good, and contain the

The stomach, from a variety of causes, such
as Indigestion, Dys- pepsin., Nervous De
bility, etc., is very ei apt to have its func
tions deranged. The Llver,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:
C'onstlpation, - Flatulence, Inward Piles, Full
ne,s of Blood to the Head. Acidity of the Stom
ach, Nausea, heartburn, Disgust for Faxi,Full

Twenty-two years since they were first Intro

which time they have undoubtedly performed

to a greater extent, than any other remedies
known to the public.
These remedies will effectually cure Liver Com

Thcre is no medicine extant4qual to these
reiny,lies in such eases. A tone and.vigor is im
parted to the whole system, the appetite is

given to the cheeks, and the weak and nervous

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
BrrrErta, or the TONIC, an elixir that will in
stil new life into their veins, restore in a meas

build up their shrunken forms and give health
and happiness to their remaining years.

sion, "never leel well," They are lan
guid, devoid of all energy, extremely nervous,
and have no appetite.
To this class ofpenions the lIITTEftS, or the
TONIC, is especially recommended.
Weak and delicate children are made strong
by the use of either of these remedies. They
will core every case of MALLISMUII, without

Dn. JAcksoN—Dear Sir :—I have frequently
been requested to connect my name with rec
ommendations of different kinds of medicines,
but regarding the practice as out of thy appro
priate sphere, I have in all cases declined; but
with a clear proof in various Intitances,
and particularly in "lkj my own family, of
the usefulness of Dr. 1: 1 1 Hoolland's German
Bitters, I depart for once from my usual
course to express my full conviction that, for
General Whility of the System, and especially
for Liver Complaint., it Is a safe and valuable
preparation. In mono Cliße9 It may fail; but,
tonally, T doubt not, it will ho very beneficial to
those woo suffer from the above cause.
Yours very respectfully,J. H. IZENNARD,

The Demagogue's Song.
AIR- "Miss ELLICANSEGO."
The demagogue sat in his easy chair ;
Counting his bonds was he ;
And he turned up his nose at Seymour and
Blair, •
And called them a terrible traitorous pair,
While he sang to himself in glee : •
"The people are saddled for us to ride,
And booted and spurred are we;
We rowel well-every panting side,
Aiul as safe on their brawny backs abide
As Sinbad's Old Man of the Sea.
"We gave them paper for what we hold,
At not quite half of the face
But we'll get full, payment in good, hard
gold,
(Though laboring men are bought, and sold,)
If we only win this race !
"The war is over—so some folks say ;
• But certainly that won't do;
We must keep it up till election-day
(Till then at least we can make it pay,)
Hurrah for the red, white and blue !
"Hurrah for that glorious hero, Grant !
• The demagogue's choice is he ;
He'd speak if he could, but ho luckily can't,
And the masses won't know what a 'regular
plant
A 'glorious hero' can be.
"I have misgivings; I must confess,
That we can't put the ticket through ;
That the people at last are beginning to
guess
A national debt Is a blessing to bless—
A ring of a chosen few.
"But away with misgivings ; for who can
prevent
The 'loyal from getting their pay?
It is only three hundred and fifty per cent.
On every dollar of paper they lent
Toward keeping the war under way !
"Hurrah for the flag of our country, then ;
For, written on every fold,
I see, inscribed by J. Cook's pen,
'Down with rebels,' which means all men
Who won't pay our bonds in gold I"

UNITED STATES Government, in the shape
of TAXES, since the close of the war I
Just think of it !
One-half of the National debt !

The people were told by the Radical 'pa

of the war would see a restored Union, with
peace and prosperity. and happiness. Well,
the war ended three years ago, the South
laid down its inns and surrendered, but Rad

'still goes on against eight millions of white

country just Five Hundred Millions a year—
that's the price.

Fellow citizens, these are questions for you

of a crazy Congress, demand to know
WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE FIF- ,

Instead of appropriating those fifteen hun

the back of the legal tender notes issued un

Interest on the Public Debt and in ex

The "Five Years" have expired. Is it

Gov. Seymour at home.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Sun has late
ly paid a visit to Gov. Seymour, and gives
the result of his trip, as follows:
"The Governor, as the Democratic nomi
nee is familiarly known by all his friends and
neighbors—and that includes pretty much
everybody in this region—" the Governor"
resides in a plain, unpretending farm cottage,
about two miles north of. and overlooking
the city of Utica. Something in the outward
appearance of the house, though not exactly
in the architecture, something in the pasto
ral air that surrounds it, something in the
approach to it, and in the view from the ver-,
andah that stretches along its front—some
thing there is in all these features. of the
Governor's home that, while not affording
particular points of resemblance, inevitably
calla to one's mind Mount Vernon. A snug
little farm of about three hundred and fifty
acres surrounding this rural retreat has been
the property of Mr. Seymour and his ances
tors for halt' a century. The house in which
the proprietor now resides was built for a
tenant of the farm, and when, a,few years
ago, Mr. Seymour grew weary of law, and
sought privacy and retirement, a few altera
tions and repairs rendered the place amply
imposing and sufficiently accommodating for
his own wants and those of his family. A
fine grove of ancient trees surrounds the
house, affording an inviting shade, while
walks and drives are abundant without ma
terially encroaching upon the usefulness of
the soil. The house is furnished in keeping
with its own outward appearancei its sur
roundings, and the well-known tastes and
character of its occupants. An air of refined
comfort pervades the whole. From the ver
andah a view is obtained well worth a long
journey to enjoy. Down the green slope at'd
across the rich meadows of the Mohawk val
ley, all covered at this time with toiling far
mers hastening to secure the overabundant
crop of hay, taking in the entire city of Utica
and all its surroundings, stretching far away
up or down the Mohawk, the view is finally
lost in the blue distance far up the pictur
esque Chenango,valley, the opening to which
is directly opposite.
At the time of my visit, this very anxious
aspirant for Presidential honors was engaged
in' superintending his laborers in .-securing
the hay crop. I apologized for the inoppor
tuness or my call, and remarked that I.sup
posed him to be a country gentleman of leis
ure. He simply smiled, told - the men not to
cut any more grass, but haul in what-they
had down, and invited me into the house.
* . 1 Talking of the heat, I suggested
that• the heated terra commenced - with the
meeting of the Convention. "Yes," he said,
" and but for that I wouldn't have been in
this unfortunate predicament. I went to the
Convention on purpose to prevent my being

ntil the midnight before I was nominated,
and again, fifteen Minutes before my name
was presented, t protested most emphatically
against its use. When they did present it,
the excitement and the, heat and all together
completely upset me. Had I been as cool as
lam now, I should have declined. I had
planned out a little trip abroad for myself;

Tax Office Scene.
Tax Collector—Now, Mr. Jay Cooke, we
are read for you, air. Your " moneys and
credits"show $120,000; your household fur
niture, office fixtures, horse and buggy, and
some other little things, foot up $3,575 more.
Total, $123,575. Deduct $120,000 held in
5-20 Government bonds, which are not tax
able, and the balance is $3,575. Your State
and county tax on this last amount is $71.50.
Now, Mr. Bellows, I have
_your receipt
ready. Your "monies and credits" show
$950; shop fixtures and tools, $1,875 ; house
hold furniture, $850; horse and wagon, $275.
Total taxable for State and county purposes,
$3,950. Tax $79.
Bellows—How is this? Jay Cooke's per
sonal property amounts to $123,575 a;tl ho
pays only $71.50 State and county taxmhile
I, with less than $4,000, all told, am asked to
pay $8.50 more than he.
Jay Cooke—Ah, my good friend, you see
my $120,000 iu bonds tire not taxable. In
the country's extremity, with other truly
loyal men, I came to the rescue with my
greenbacks. I loaned my bleeding country,
threatened with destruction by rebels and
copperheads, my money, and with that grat
itude which becomes a grateful people "en
gaged in the interests of God and humanity,"
lam exempt. Thus it should he with a
magnanimous christian people.
Bellows—And I, in my country's real ex
tremity, had no greenbacks to loan, but I
shouldered a musket, and gave my body to
the cause, a leg of which I left on the field of
Shiloh, as you see, but a " grateful people,
engaged in the interests of God and human
ity," have no tax-exemption for me. This
may be all right, but I don't see it.
Jay Cooke—But you see, Mr. Bellows,
mine was a voluntary act. I could not have
been compelled to furnish the money. You
volunteered, it is true, but you could have
been compelled to go.
Bellows—Yes, sir. I did volunteer when
my services were needed, but your voluntary
act was after the act was done—when you
felt sure your investment was safe. The pol
icy that exempts your hundreds of thousands
from taxation and taxes my few hundreds is
founded oril villainy, sir. You loaned your
greenbacks, worth less than sixty cents on the
dollar, and are now claiming dollar for dol
lar in gold for payment. I risked myjife
and gave a limb to the cause, and when I
came home to my family, and to work for
their support, I amnia& to pay full National,
State and county taxes on my little posses
sions, while your bonds, purchased with de
preciated greenbacks, are exempt.
This nice little game of "God and human
ity," superfine loyalty and patriotic disinter
estedness, is downright robbery, sir, and they
who uphold it are no better than thieves,
sir. With our ballots next November, we
will sink any man, or set of men, who stand
up for it, that the sound of Gabriel's trump
will never reach them. Do you mind that,
Mr. Jay Cooke? Exit disputants.
Tax Collector, sohis—lt strikes this indi
vidual very forcibly, that it ain't all wind
that blows out of that bellows. ,
A Laboring Nan Calctilatirig.
All we want the laboring men to do is to
calculate the difference between the cost of
living now and the cost of living . in 1539, be-
fore the Republican party Fame into power.
A laboring man down in 3faine has set the
example, and has given the benefit of his
calculation to the Bangor Democrat. lie fig
ures as follows :
For four days' work in 1859 I could buy a
barrel of excellent flour. For an equally
good barrel now I have to work eight days.
For one day's work in 1859 I could buy
fire pounds of tea. For the same day's work
I can now buy but tiro pounds.
For a day's work then I could buy Mirto
pounds of sugar. For a day's work now
can get but fifteen pounds. •
For a day's work in 1859 I could buy eight
pounds of tobacco: For a day's work now I
can buy but three pounds. •
For a day's work in 18591 could buy'four
tan, pounds (Anode°. t'or a day's wurkuuw
I can buy but fire pounds.
For one month's work in 1839 I could
clothe myself and family for one year. To
do the same now I am oblircd to work full
two months and a-half.
I might thus go through the whole list of
articles that a laboring man and his family
consume. The fact is that we are permitted
to enjoy but - one-half of the fruits of our la
bor ; the other half goes to the Government
and the plunderers of our public treasury.
Is it not time for me and my fellow labor.
ers tp look around us, ascertain the cause of
this robbery of labor, and apply the remedy ?
Four Below Zero in the Sun.
Congress having been in session for only
eight months, the Tribune has the coolness
to observe that the "bill for the reduction of
the army failed to pass for want of time to
perfect it !"
"The ordinary expenditures for the army
and navy," says Commissioner Wells in his
second annual report, "ore the millstones
which hang around the necks of the people
of Europe, press them annually deeper into
debt, and render the emergenceADf the great
body of their people from poverty more and
more difficult. These same items to con
stitute the bulk of the ordinary expenditure
of the United States; and as their Influence
is the same in degree here as there, it is here
'that the necessity for a reform is most ap
parent,while at the same time its realization
does not appear difficult."
But - the "reduction of the Army bill fails
to pass for want of time to perfect it" by the
Radicals whose candidate is the General of

Ist. That by taxes on the people, money
enough' has been raised since the close of the
war to pay more than half of the national
debt, or a sum equal to $2,500 for every one
of the negro made voters, (715,000) in all the
Southern States.
2d. In 1860 a Democratic administration
left the Government debt $70,000,000. From
1861 to 180—four years of war—the Radi
cals increased this debt ! to $2,700,000,000.
From 186.5 to 1868—three years of peace—
they collected $1,500,000,000 from the -
people, and after three years of peace,
making up, with lour years of war, seven
years of Radical supremacy, the country is
more than twenty-five hundred millions of
dollars worse off in debt (not to speak of the
loss of life and health ;and depreciation of
Southern property) than we were in 1860.
3d.-The navy before the war cost less than
thirteen millions per year, with the shipping
interests of the country fully protected all
over the globe. The average- cost for the
three years since the war closed is over forty
millions per year, with our shipping interests
swept from the ocean by taxation and tariffs.
4th. To show the practical effects of Con
gressional Reconstruction, six carpet-bag
gers in the U. S. Senate from Florida, North
Carolina, and Louisiana, will balance the en
tire Senatorial representation of New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio. The last can onlV
represent an aggregate population of (in
round numbers) ten millions of free Ameri
cans, constituting just one-third of the entire
population of the Union, and owning nearly
one-half of the taxable property of the Re
public. Their votes are now neutralized by
six "Senators" under military domination,
and representing a population of about 2,300,-
000, owning one-thirtieth part of the taxable
property of the Republic. Of these 2,300,-
000 more than one-half are ignorant negroes,
white of the remainder, constituting The
American population proper, one-fourth
are refhsed permission to participate in! se
lecting their Federal delegates.
sth. From June to July the public debt in
creased at the rate of over $53,000i000
month !—Over $13,000,000 a week!—Over
$1,750,000 - a 'day!--Over $70,000 an hour!
—Over $1,200 a minute!—Over $2O a sec
ond!
6th: For four years the people of the Union
fought secession, and put down the rebellion.
But the Radicals in Congress turned around,
and have ever since been trying to legalize
secession, and prove that it wag successful in
taking ten States out of the Union.
7th. The Constitution of Alabama is a ne
gro Constitution to the extent of 57,287 negro
majority. In Georgia, Florida, the Caroli
nas, Texas and Virginia, the vote showed a
negro majority of 2.51,496! And this order
of things the Radicals seek to make perpetu

Bth. In Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Virginia and ,Louisan, every voter must
swear that .he recognizes and accepts the
civil and political equality of black and

Who PAYS 7—An old picture represents a
king sitting in state, labelled—"l govern all,"
—a bishop with a legend—"l pray for all,"
—and a farmer drawing forth reluctantly a
purse with the inscription—"l pay for all."
There is more truth than poetry in this idea.
It is practically the result of our system of
taxation. The producing classes are those
upon whom the whole burden of payment
finally devolves. And not until the people
rise up In their might and depose those who
impose the burdens, will such a condition of
things be likely to be ameliorated. The pic
ture is a perfect fee-simile of the results and
tendencies of Radicalism.
Tim Democrats say, give us one currency
for laborer and bondholder, equal taxation,
no burdening the poor to favor the rich. Let
each bear his just proportion—the wealthy
man with his boads, and the working man
with his bare hands. If labor pays taxes, let
capital pay tax. Justice' to all—injustice to
none. Such is Democratic doctrine. Repub
licans say don't favor equal taxation. Let
labor pay the taxes—let capital go free. The
wealthy bondholders shall not be taxed—the
carpenter, the mason, the limner and the
merchant shall. Some of the Radicals term
equal taxation repudiation—we say it is but
justice.
A Bra MEETzo.—The Radicals
have at last succeeded in getting up a Grant
meeting. It was held away down in Flori
da. The New York Tribune exultantly par
ades the following announcement :
"A law° Grant and Colfax meeting was
held at Gordon, Florida, on the 6th mat.
Over 300 freedmen participated."
Three hundred negroes, all enthusiastic for
Grant. We oughj to feel frightened, but we
don't. We know how the white men of both
sections will Note in November, and are sure
of Seymour's election.
AISOVIERINVESTIGATION WANTED.—John
Covode once got up what he calked an "in
vestigation." He professed to have found
evidences of extravagance in the administra
tion of Mr. Buchanan, when the entire ex
penses during his term were only a little over
two hundred and seventy-two millions. Dur
ing the year of 1867, a year of profound peace,
the Radicals spent $346,729,129.33, or. $74,-
094,103 more than Mr. Buchanan spent dur
