The stomach, from a variety of atlases, such as Indigestion, Dys- pepsin, Nervous De bility, etc., is very r% apt to have its func tions deranged. The 1.3 Liver, sympathising 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 tile following diseases:.

To VIE PEOPLE OP PENNSYLVANLI The Radicals reproduce the stale slanders of the past, and try to ignore the grave ques tions of the present. They prate of their loyalty and make it the excuse for their corruption, their extrava gance and misrule. They imagine that you have slept during The three years of their iniquitous tutsgov'ern ment, and that you will forget that taxation oppressed you, that your commerce lan guishes, and that your business is broken up. They have proven themselves powerful to destroy and powerless to restore. Their only policy is hate, and upoa this they ask a new lease of power; forgetful that a thinking and a practical people require them to answer : Why is the national debt brehtcr now than when Lee surrendered, and why does it still hit: ram? What has become or the nil= hundred tnilliOns of dollara they have wrung from the cotnforts and necessities of the people since June, 18.1.15 ?

WALLACE, .Cluitrinan Bondholder vs. Taxpayer. Bondholder—lt would be an outrage to pay the bonds in greenbacks. I have all I own, and it is not much, iu bonds, but greenbacks are not par. Tar-payer---Did you purchase them with gold ? Bondholder—Yes; I brought two thousand &Mars in gold, from Canada, when I dame to this country a few years ago. Tax-payer--At what price did you pur chase your bonds? Bondholder—Oh, I didn't purchase. my bonds direct with gold. I first sold one thou Sand dollars and got nineteen hundred in greenbacks ; and for the next thousand I got two thousand five hundred. I then ptu.- chased a farm in Crawford county and found it did not pay me very much, so' sold that and got seven hundred dollars more than I paid for it ; and to ask me to take greenbacks for it - would not be right, ns that is a depre-. elated currency, and is not worth what the bonds call for. Still this very "loil" bondholder, who bled so profusely for his country, thinks that the farmer who bought his !arta, which he could not rent to pay interest on, should be taxed to pay him Interest and. principal on fifty one hundred dollars for his two thousand in vested, with the addition of the present price of ,gold,•making in all seven thousand one hundred and forty dollars, or three dol lars and fifty-five cents for every dollar in vested. A very nice speculation indeed.— Sharon Times. A New MethOd of Advertising. The Chicago Times concludes a notice of, the great Radical fizzle in that city, last week, with the following description of a novel combination of politics and business: "There was a considerable ,number of transparencies carried in the procession, the most prominent of which read somewhat as follows : 'GARDINER'S TIREMIATIC COXPOUND CURDS nix rrcrr: "This led the procession ' and provoked considerable conjecture as to what it was there for.

"As loyal men, of course ivouhl not refuse to do what their gallant leaders do, it was a big thing for Gardiner. With th s exception there was nothing remarkable about the pro edssion." • A National Debt. • A horde of lazy, worthless negroes to feed at the public treasury. An army of tax-gatheren3, swarming like locusts, devouring the substance of the peo ple. The cotton trade of America ruined. Thousands of white EMI thrown out of employment, and innocent white children suffering for the necessaries of life. • Financial Min and disaster impending. The pee.* taxed for everything they cat 1)r wear.

Trite, the laboringman does not pay his taxes directly to the dovernment, but every man of sense knows that the consumer pays the tax upon every article manufactured by capital. praotical,workitig man, a few days - ago, be ing in our office, handed us the folloning, which In itself is a volume of argument to show that the poor-man does pay taxes: Radical legislation requires the consumer to pay all taxes. It taxes The hat on your head. The boots on your feet. The clothes on your person. The food you eat. The tea and coffee you drink. The pot it is cooked in. • The ctip you drink it out of. The implement on your farm. The tools you work with. • The paper you write on. The pen and ink you use. The paper and books you read. The furnitdre in your house. The gas or oil you burn. The coal you consume. The stove you burn it in. • The match you light it with. The medicine ton take. The tobacco you smoke. The pipe you smoke it in. The dishes on your table. AM you Cat off them. The laboring man of the country, who owns a little house and lot, which he has earned by toiling from early morning to night, pays State tax, county tax, school tax, road tax upon it; while his next door neigh bor, who is a bondholder, owning fifty thou sand dollars in bonds, pays no taxes what ever, draws interest- in gold, and laughs at his unfortunate neighbor, who has his mon ey in a little home ! If the masses of labor ing men desire the equal taxation of every species of property according to its real val ue—government bonds and other securities included—if they want one currency for the people, the laborer and the office-holder, the pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the bondholder, they will not vote the Radi cal ticket, but will vote for that of the De mocracy.

Keep it before the people, that, according to the official statement of the Secretary of the Treasury, the exports of the North did not pay last year for one-third of the goods imported into the United States during that year; and that the productions exported from the South paid for more than two-thirds of those imports Keep it before the people, that by the same report it appears that this year, not withstanding our heavy grain crops, the ex ports of the North will fall short of the value of onr imports by many millions of dollars, and that we must depend upon the reduced exports from the South to escape from ruin -ous indebtedness to Europe! Keep it before the people, that before the war and after the war, the .productions of _the South have invariably paid for more than two-thirds of our imports and have thus kept the balance Of our trade with other nations in favor of the United States. Keep it before the people, that when the export of the Southern products shall cease, the amount of our imports will be reduced by two-thirds and our Custom House duties by one hundred millions of dollars, which amount must then be collected by-the inter nal revenue or by direct taxation. Keep it before the people, that the' recon struction measures of Congress arc rapidly demoralizing the blacks of the South, unfit ting them for labor, and that in anotheryear they will be more likely to starve for want of the common necessaries of life than to con tribute by their labor .to the Southern sta ples for exportation, and that, consequently, the balance of trade against the North will be so enormous as to lead to inevitable bank ruptcy. Keep it before the people, that the cost of the military machinery to keep the whites under the subjection of ignorant, brutal and lazy blacks, costs the people of the North at least $:200,000,000 annually, and that this enormous sum is paid• annually be the peo ple in order that their prospertly may be permanently and forever destroyed. Keep it before the people, that the insane demagogues nt Washington, disregardiu,g the voice of an indignant peopleat the late elections, still persist in their hit:1111011A poli cy of negro supremacy, and that they have already shown, that "whom the gods n isL to destroy, they first make mad,' A LEAF FROM PIIAIIT'S PRIVATE II Brom . . —The Galena Democrat, published at the home of Gen. Grant, thus dishes up a page of private history which is worth reading and remembering just at this time : • "We have published several extracts from leading journals, wherein . the intemperate habits of Gen. Grant are criticised very se verely. ,We do this to show our people that others are at length finding out what every body hereabouts, who knows anything about the General, has known all along, that he has for many years e except at brief intervals far between, been one of the most besot= .drunkards. "We refrained frOni speaking of this mat ter heretofore, and would not do so now it we thought it would injure his prospects as a Jacobin candidate to have it generally known. But we know the general acknowl edgement of tits fact will 'render him still more the idol of the party of moral ideas, and as he is, of all others, who have been spoken of as the probable nominees of the Radicals, the one we most desire to have them nomi- I nate, we willingly contribute our mite to aid them In their choice." Gen. Grant and the Angel. Ulysses Grant one night laid down to rest, His eyes were closed—hands folded on his breast, He slept ; he dreamed. An angel bright and fiiir Soft o'er the sleeping hovered in the air. "Ulysses!" cried the angel, "I am sent To learn of thee—who would be President— What arc thy views upon affairs of State ? What thy opinions of the questions great That now disturb the dation ? Speak,' pray, For time is precious and I must away." ' Ulysses looked the angel in the eye, Then, while his tics-mu _heaved a monstrous- NO. 17. Ile said "Bright angel I contest frmn yon der star Be seated, pray, and try a good cigar." 'Nay ! nay ! Uly.ses angels never smoke.' "Impossible !" cried U.; "you surely joke." "I speak the truth ; come, quickly, frankly state What arc your views upon affairs of State." s'pose you've secn," said U., "blue you've been down, The handsome pups of my friend, Marshal Brown?" "Why, General Grant, yon must be in your CLIPS; Whnt should I know of thy friend's whining pups ? About ,uelt nonsenie pray no longer prate. But tell us what you think of 'fairs of State." "Affairs of State? Why, yes—inule&l—of Course— Can you describe' the points of a good honer „ With moistened eye the angel turned aside. "Pray," cried Ulysses, "did you ever rid.) Dan Rice's mule ?" "Dan Rice's male i ' Ulysses ; do you take me for a fool? I that am on a special errand sent To learn tour views, who would be Presi dent. Another sigh Ulysses' bosom heaved, As though his heart was sadly, sorely grieved ; And as the angel plumed his graceful flight To regions of unclouded glory bright, U. opc'd one eye, and then the angel heard. "Good-bye bright angel—'mum's the word.'" WIIY Is LIVING so Illon?—The producers of the cOuntry—the farmers, mechanics and laboring men—are anxiously inquiring tilty taxes are so high, and its anxiously-seeking some means of esuaping from their onerous and increasing burdens. The Radical poli ticians tell them that it is the legacy left by our long and expensive civil war. This is undoubtedly true, but the politicians are careful enough to tell only half the truth. Ten States of this Union are governed by the strong arm of military power. To do this requires the services of fifty thousand soldiers and officers, at a cost to the tax-payer of one hundred million dollars. •There is also a Freedman's Bureau, established for the avowed object of taking care of the negroes, but really to give fat positions and stealings to hordes of lazy office-seekers. This luxury costs thirty million dollars more. What makes living so dear and rents so high? Simply the ruinous policy of the Radical party. The southern States instead of being a huge incubus upon the labor of the North, might help to pay the National debt, and help bear the burdens of taxation. In stead of producing, the South is consuming at least one hundred and thirty million del-, lars yearly, wrung from the hard earningaof the North. She does not ask for a standing armv ; she does not require a Freedman 'a Bureau; these are quartered upon her against the solemn protest of her people. Both are useless, cumbersome, expensive and full of corruption. Remove them, and the South wilt again blossom as a rose. Keeping the Radical party in power is keeping a huge standing army, and a corrupt, enervating, useless rreefttnen's Bureau, at a cost of one hundred and thirty_ million dollars every year. So long as the reins of government are in the hands of the extremists, just so long will the necessaries of life continue high, rents dear, and taxes continue to wear out and exhaust the energies of the people. Lincoln and Stanton on Gov. Seytuont. The World appropriately recalls the fact that Just before the battle of Gettysburg, in July, IS')3, the officer of Governor Sg mour's staff, :who had been charged by him with superintending the movements of the New York troops whom Governor Seymour threw forward with such unexampled repid ity and energy to resist the invasion of Pennsylvania by Lee, called to say - farewell to President Lincoln. Taking the officer (the Tribune knows perfectly well who that officer was) by both hands, President Lin coln said to him : "I WISH YOU TO UN DERSTAND THAT YOU CANT OT POS SIBLY USE WORDS TOO ARM TO CONVEY TO GOVERNOR SEYMOUR MY THANKFULNESS FOR HIS PROMPT AND EFFICIENT HELP GIV EN TO THE GOVERNMENT IN THIS CRISIS." This language the President thrice repeated, accompanying it with a fer vent pressure of the hands, and uttering it each time with increased earnestness and feeling. - In like manner, Secretary Stanton, under date June 27th, 186:3, wrote to Governor Seymour: "I cannot forbear expressing to you the deep obligation I feel for THE PROMPT AND CANDID SUPPORT YOU HAVE GIVEN TO THE GOVERNMENT IN TIIE PRESENT EMERGENCY. THE ENERGY, ACTIVITY, AND PATRIOT ISM YOU HAVE EXHIBITED, I MAY lIE PERMITTED PERSONALLY AND OFFICIALLY TO ACKNOWELEDGE, without arrogating any personal claims on my part in such service, or to any aarT i c e whatever. I shall be happy to be always es teemed your friend." Will the Radical Journals tell us once for all if the tesuuiony of Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Stanton is satisfactory as to Governor Ser. inour's patriotism? Was it you, John, or Jim, or George, it matters not about the name ? Are you the man who proclaimed, a few years a_,mo, that whenever the Republican party favored ne gro suffrage, you would lone the party and vote and act with the opposition? Are you the man who charged your neigh bor with lying because he claimed that the Republican party would eventually make that the issue ; and called your God to wit ness, if it ever did, that you would end your connection with it forever. Yes, you arc. Your neighbors and friends believed you sincere. By that line of argument you induced some of them to vote with you. The time you referred to has arrived. What do you propose to do? If your love of country pre .dominates over your political prejudice, the time has conic when you will prove the sin cerity of your words, by noble and magnani =mous-action.
