"The medicine you sent me last spring
acted like a charm. It relieved me very soon
of a deranged state of the liver, stomach and

remedies is, while they act directly and thor

depress or del)ilitate the system like other
Liver remedies I have used. I consider you
fully master of your profession : and, from
your open fair way of dealing with me, I
deem you an upright conscientious may, as

This will , doubtless sound chimerical to
many, but the evidence can be produced at
Dr. Hamilton's office to.'prove every word
trite. It is alsoasserted, on the most reliable
authority. that no one physician in this or
any oilier country on the globe, of-- whatever
age or position, Lawyer seen, examined mid
pri.scribed for one-half the number of pa
tients that Dr. Hanfilton has. Again, it must
not be sups osed that Dr. Haruilto❑'s treat
ment consisth in Patent Medicines, or a few
pet compounds, recommended to cure all the
ills that flesh is subject to. •On the contrary;
Dr. Hamilton's prescriptions and specific
compounds are always made up chemically
and specifically, for each individual case, as
they are presented to him, either in person
or by letter—either of which is sufficient if
the combination of symptoms are properly
presented, according to the directions given
in this article.
Again : No Mineral remedieS are used in
any case by Dr. Hamilton ; consequently, pa-
Sient3 are safe from those horrible mineral
poisons so much used by some physicians.
Rei 'er: Do not think that
,you cannot be
cured because you have tried other remedies.

my - remedies are known only to mysell, for
many of them are discoveries of my own, and
are compounded according to my - own tea-'

All sick persons •nitist remember that, if

to met their present symptoms plainly, or
patients can mark the symptoms they have,
as above published. I can, in every instance,
prescribe for them just its well as though I

;Judge Packer.
Tlie folloaring dispatch appears in the
eastern patieis:
MAIICII CHUNK, April 24, lea.
H. It Lixtrinitmtx, Esq.. Philadelphia:
You say that the Pittsburgh Post, on author
ity of the Easton Express, announced mf
withdrawal from the gubernatorial contest.
I have authorized no one to make such an
nouncement. My position is the same as
given in my Chambersburg letter.
• ASA PACE= .
The letter to which the Judge refers was
In reply to one from several prominent citi
zens of Chanibersburg, asking whether he
would allow his name to be used in connec
tion with the Gubernatorial nomination, and
contained the following paragraph:
"The same inquiry has been made by nu
merous other friends train different sections
of the State, to which I uniformly replied
that I did not desire the nomination, and in
view of all the cares and responsibilities to
be assumed by the nominee of the conven
tion in the event of a successful canvass, any
reply to you would, if my own views and
feelings were consulted,be of the same tenor.
But there are Aloe from every man, public as
well as private duties ;- and if the convention,
after considering the subject in all its bear
ings, should in its wisdom, decide to confer
the nomination on me, I will not consider
myself at lila rty to decline."'
The contest for the nomination will he
mainly hi tween the friends of Judge Packer
and' Gen. CtIAS. We have no individual
ae
quaintanee ai th either, and no * preference,
except to see the : one noininated who can
bring the greatest strength to the party. The
Democratic party cannot afford t 6 suffer de:
feat much longer, and in making its nomina
tions this fall must cast aside all personal or
sectional motives, and look only to the choice
of candidates who will furnish the strongest
probability of success.
The Island of Cuba.
So much has been said of late about the
- annexation of Cuba, that it is, notitiOg more
than natural that there should be &general
anxiety among the'people to secure all the
'information attainable regarding its charac
ter, extent and resources. It contains 45,000
Square Miles, and is about the size of Ohio,
though the population is less than half what
that State contains. • In other words, it has
nearly thirteen or fourteen hundred thousand
people, of whom one-half were until lately
negro slaves. Its wealth is immense, and its
trite exceedingly large. It is one of the
great sugar marts of the world. Its tobaedo
and cigars arebnriyaled. The United States
are large importers of its products. If they
poSsessed the island that raised them they
would come in tree 'ot duty, mitt be much
cheaper than they are at present.
Years ago, in the Administration of Presi
dent Pierce, the United States offered to pay
one hundred millions of dollars for this island,
or neatly seven times that which, they gave
to France for Louisiana and the whole Mis
sissippi Valley.
Cuba is the key of the Gun . tf Mexico, and
is of immense political and strategical im
portance as a military and naval station. Its
acquisition by the United States has long
'been ardently desired on these accounts by
tens of thousands who would oppose any
Whet annexation,
The abolishment of slavery in the island,
however, we suppose, will greatly dimin
ish its value, and render its productions of
sugar and coffee infinitely less than they have
been in previous years. It look, its if Spain
was bound, ere long, to lost it, atrt that her
declination of the hundred million offer, un
der Pierce's Ndmiriistration, was the greatest
of mistakes upon her part.
Show Them Up.
In commenting upon the generally ac
knowledged rascality of the last Legislature,
the Lancaster Intelligenet , r feels "bound to
say" that it was "na altogether confined to
the Republican members who were in the
majority, and who will therefore be held re
sponsible for the legislation. There was a
small body of Democrats who were in the
Ring, and who were up to tWeir eyw throu 411-
out the session in every scheme -of corrup
tion that was broached. One or two of them
were men whom we ffiund it difficult to be
lieve werti so base. Thu conduct of other
men did not surprise is. The Honorable
Samuel Josephs, of Philadelphia, couldn't
astonish anybody by any act of baseness.
But the Democracy of hisdistrict are every
bit as bad as he Is, for they knew what he
wanted to go to the Legislature for when tuey
sent him, and they, every one of them, de
serve six months imprisonment at hard labor
for voting for him."
On the last day of the session, it is said,
that the lobby had paymasters at two of the
hotels in Harrisburg, one the Democratic
and the other the -Radical headquarters, at
which the members of the Legislature who
had sold their votes were publicly pail Off—
Luc transaction being looked upon by them
as a eapitafjokei' Let the press of both par
ties exraute these transactions without mercy,
and spare neither political friend nor foe.

The practice of giving presents to one an

are a prolific source of ridicule. The Etat

itself in consequence. From an 'authentic

that the following items changed hands upon
that momentous occasion :

Ross was ma REVEiGE.—The action of

Reiloyal. from Office.
Great injustice haebeen done to General
Jackson by attributing to him the authorship
of the system of wholesale removals from
office for political reasons alone , It is true
that he made far more: removals 'than his
predecessor, John Quincy Adams, hat there
was a manifest reason for it. Mr. Adams
had been Secretary of State for eight ,years
under.the Adult/4311'0am/. of President Mon
roe. The appointments made by that Presi
dent may be anpppsed to have been made
generitily • with hiA sanction; There was,
therefore, little change under him. But
when General Jackson came into office in
1829, after a heated contest, he found nearly,
all the office-holders against him. In order' '
to restore the balance, make a just equili
brum, and show that the 1111.. es were the
property of no particular party, h© had to
make many changes. Still, to the end of his
long term of eight years, there ,were many
persons in official positions throughout the
country who were the enemies of his politi
cal Administration. It was not until 1840,
when Harrison and Tyler, the Whig candiz
dates for President and Vice President, were
elected, that the sweeping system of removals
from office for opinion's sake was adopted
with remorseless severity.
Everything then was changed, high and
low, from the Cabinet officer down to the
merest tide-water in 'the Capitol, - or the
humblest postmaster in any part of the
Union. The practiee then set has been fol
lowed ever since by all parties. The De
molracy, although not the first to adopt it,
followed it as a measure of retaliation. But
it is high time that the practice was discon
tinued, and that the Government chose its
servants upon the same principles that gov
t ern individuals in public life, and that the
Jeffersonian test was alone i applied, %Is he
honest—is he capable—is he•flithful?"
A “Consthistional Thief."
In his speech in the Senate, last Week, Gen.
Cameron spoke of one of Geri. Grant's
pointees from Pennsylvania as a "constitwi
tional thief." This declaration is understood
to refer to Frederick Coze, of Philadelphia,
who had received the appointment of Consul
to Marseilles, one of the most impor ant of

with them, hardly knowing what course) un

however, patience at an end, they brought
the matter to a Culmination on Saturday last
by having the gentlemanly thief arrested in
the street. lie was conducted back to the
store and there compelled to disgorge the ar

stolen. 'These consisted of a box of cigars
and divers 'other trivial things such es he had
been aceuatomed to take. ' He then offered
to pay a sum of money, equivalent to the

Changes in Office.
The terrible pressure for office upon Gen.
Grant may be seen in the following list of
appointments sent into the Senate by bitu up
to April 20th, nearly all of which have been
confirmed;
Cabinet officers and - foreign ministers, 32 ;'
Secretaries Legation, 5; Consuls General, 4;
Consuls, 99; Governors Territories, 7; Sec
retaries Territories, 8; Collectors Internal
Revenue, 119; Assessors, 117,; Postmasters,

and Secretaries, 13 ; Assistant Treasurers,2 ;

It k believed that this list includes the
whole of the relations, wife's relations, Dent's
relations, anfl the immediate friends and old

The Cuban Campaign.
ot‘tithstanding the advantages which
Sp de possesses over the Cuban rev7)lution
ists, it is certain that she is not progressing
in the suppression of the movement. She
has to-day on the island some 40,000 disci
plined troops, besides lti,Q_oo volunteers; she
has means of concentrating them by sea on
the chief points of the coast within twenty
four or forty-eight hours ; and yet the mo
ment her forces quit their base, the sea ; and
attempt active operations in the interior, she
finds depopulated cities, or at most view
women and children, and all her expeditions
are barren of results.
The Cubans were bent from the commence
ment on wearing them out, and still continue
these tactics. They risk no general engage
mmts, and drag,. the Spaniards after them,
from place to place, with the purpose at ex
hausting their resources. They can livein the
woods and the Spaniards cannot ; and every
time thas'the Spaniards attempt to send sup
plies, of arms, ammunition, and provisions
to any post in the interior, they will in all
probability, in the future as in the past, be
supplying not their own troops, but their
enemies. -
Gov. Hoffman.
The press of the country is a unit in praise
ofJohn T..l.ltiftluato he Democratic Governor
of New York, for the firmness he has dis
played in protecting the interests of the peo
ple. Ire has already vetoed . no less than
twelve: measures of the corrupt Albany Leg
lure, and declares it to be his purpose to
continue in the good work until the public
thieves and gamblers are taught to-under
stand that their occupation is gone. The
consequence is, that Gov. Ildffman, who en
tered upon his official station under a Sload of
reproach and criticism hardly paralleled, is
to-day the most popular man with all parties
in the State of New York.
In the name of the Democra6y of Penn
sylvania, we unite with the Harrisburg Pa
triot in thanking Gov. Hoffman for his noble
conduct. His course inspires thcf hope that
we may again behold a return of the days of
honesty and faithfulness in• public office.
New 'York, in the person of her upright
Democratic Governorjeads the wag.: May we
not cherish the belief that Pennsylvania will

The Annexation of Cuba.
A telegram to the World says the feeling
in Cabinet circles relative to the annexation
of Cuba does not appear to be very strong.
and there is not the slightest ground for the
supposition that the President is auxions for
an extension of our Territory in that direc
tion. One of the strongest arguments against
the annexation of the island is in the fact
that the United States derives a revenue of
thirty-six millions annually ftom duties on
imports ifrom that country alone. In the
event'of annexation there would be exactly a
deficit to this amount, which would go a
good way toward whipping out our surplus.
It would not be difficult, if we get in a war
with Spin, to combine England and France
with Spain against us. Our grasping pro
pensities—stretching out our hands for Can
ada, Cuba -and Mexico—alarms European
powers, and they would readily ;combine
against ua, and, only want a decent
alts to go amid.

THE New York Times (Radical) says
Hoffman deserves the support of every honest
newspaper in the State, Republican and
Democratic, for his resistance to the schemes
of plunder which are so rife at Albany.
MANY things that have been accomplished,
by war, could, as time has shown, have been
attained better and far more cheaply in peace.
There is no doubt that we have the pimer
to seize and hold Canada; as well as Cuba or
Mexico, against any force likely to be brought
to defend it. But'robbery is not always wis
dom, just as brutal insolence in dealing with
foreign nations is not always statesmanship.
A. VERY prudent politician is Judge James
C. Taylor of Virginia. .He is the Indepen•
dent Republican candidate for the office of
Attorney General of the Ancient Dominion.
In his published confession of faith he says:
"I am a supporter of the present administra
tion of the National Government so far as I
am able to understand it." There are a good
many others in the same condition. ' The
trouble is to "understand it."
Tuts New, York correspondent of' the
Springfield Republican says that the reason,
he has not got an office is that he "did not
happen to be born into the Dent family." ,It
is singular how universal the impression has
bc;corne that Gen. Grant confers offices on
his relations without much regard to their
fitness, and with no . regard at all to the pro
priety of thus using his official power. The
New York Sun seeks to defend the Dents,
on thq ground that "ibere is not one of them
in the Cabinet, and there cannot be more
than seven or eight on whop minor offices
have been bestowed."
Tau Philadelphia Telegraph (Thulical) is
so Much shocked by the corruptions of the
late Legislature as to be compelled to say—
"ln the days of the war, when the election
of a Democrat, be he like the Angel Gabriel,
was esteemed a national mis , ortune, we did .
not hesitate to support any Republican loyal
nominee, though he had hoots and to tail.
That time Is now passed. It is not of moment

A' SHORT time since, as Gen. Butler was
riding in the' Pennsylvania avenue cars, a
lady who was leaving, the car remarked, as
she passed him, "Look out for your spoons."
The . Gerieral promptly followed her, and as-
