Suggestions that Should, not Pass Vn.
, herded 9.
?
We'huve long been of the impre4sion that
the main reason• fior the success of the Radi
cals lay in the superior zeal with which they
circulate the papers of their party among the
people.
On the cars, at the news-stands, every
where that papers are sold, Radical journals
are given the preference, and in many cases,
it is almost imposslide to procure any other.
Too often Democrats are patrons of Radical
sheets, to the exclusion of their own party
organs, in I this way weakening their mad:
dente in the cause, and, perhaps, perizertirtg
the'minds of their children.
The Radicals have industriouily educated
the people In support of their creed, through
the medium of their Press, and if we hope to
successfully compete with them, we must use
the same effective means.
And in order to make Our efforts valuable
in the Gubernatorial campaign, we must not
wait until•tlte eve of election.
The time to eotnmenee is Now, when the
people c•m quietly reflect over the truths and
arguments presented to them, and are un
biased by the prejudices invariably excited
in a hot contest.
Thousands of votes can be made by plac
ing Democritic papers in the proper hands
at the present time, that could not be affected
by any kind, of influshce at a later stage of
the canvass.
A hundred dollars spent in circulating good
Democratic papers now, would do more
service than a thousand employed in tile usu
al manner of electioneering.
We call these facts to the attention of °Ur'
party friends, in the hope of arousina• them
to a just consideration of their duty, and of
inducing them to inaugurate a different
}s
tem of tactics front that which has proved so
ineffectual heretofore.
- Speak to your neighbors, and see if they
are taking a Democratic paper or not. If
they do not take one, have them subsbribe at
once. Every additional Democratic journal
circulated will do some good ; and every new
subscriber obtained helps to strengthen the
paper, which is thus enabled the more effi
ciently to battle for the c ruse.
Form clubs of dye, ten, or twenty, and
contribute for sending papers to those wits
think themselves unable to p•ay. The amount
to each person will be small, and there, are
few who cannot afford it.
The Observer will- be furnifted, as hereto
fore, at the low rate of Two Dollars per year,
or less for a corresponding-period:
For One Dollar, we will send the paper
mouths.
For Fifty Cents, we will send it three
months.
These terms-arc so liberal that none can
complain, and they ought to ensure us at
least One Thousand additional subscribers
betine the 1 t of July.
Who among the Democrats Of the several
districts will be the first to move in this, the
most certain mode of increasing our party
strength ? • my2o-tf..
Death of Key. Wm. Todd.
Died on the 15th inst., at his residence on
West Fifth street, in this city, Roy. William
Todd, aged precisely 78 year:, he having died
on 111; birth day. His interm nt took, place
on Monday, and was largely attended, par
tieularly bj the leading members of the
Methodist church, of which denomination
he was an ordained uiinister.
In recording the death of this venerable
servant of Christ, we but: repeat the unani
mous opinion of all who knew him, when we
say he was a Christian most devout and sin
cere—an honest, liberal and charitable citi
zen,—a man without enemies—one who
loved his fellow men and was beloved by,
them. Within the circle of his own fireside
was where ho shrine the brightest, and ;Where
he will be most missed :—a beloved, amiable
and Christian wilt:, an exemplary and affec
tionate son, are left to mourn his loss. But
"Ftither Todd" is gone—gone' to reap the re
ward of his labors in behalf of Christianity,
at the feet of his Master.
Mr. Todd was a native of Count; Armagh,
Ireland--came to this country in 1818—en
tered the ministry in 1823, in the New York
Conference, then embraciepportions of Ver
mont and Connecticut, and through which
region he traveled as a pioneer preacher for
nine years. In 1832 he came west, and joined
the Pittsburgh Conference, and labored. in
western Pennsylvania and New York. In
183.5 he married Miss Rebecca Watkinson in
Erie. In 1837 he was transferred to portions
of Indiana and Michigan, where he again
perfinmed pioneer labor, which hard service
so told upon his health that he was retired
-from active duties, and in 1844 he returned
to Erie, since which time be has only been
in-service when his health would permit.
To show how self-sacrificing these pioneer
Methodist ministers were, and • still arc, it
may be mentioned that during the twenty
flve years of active service of Mr. Todd be
never received more than WO per annum,
though much of the time traversing tee
snows of the Green mountains and the wilds
of the west ; and often he had -to depend
upon the generosity of some backwoodsman
for a night's lodging.
Father Todd's politiatial views Were equally
sincere and consistent with his religious
life. He was a devoted friend of the Consti
tution, which in early life he swore to pro
tect, and his attachment to the Democratic
cause, in the midst of the most discouraging
circumstances, was one of the noblest traits
of his character.

DECORATING THE SOLDIERS' GRAVEB.-
The ceremony of decorating the graves of
our departed soldiers and sailors will take
place in this city, under the auspices of the
Grand Army of the Republic, on Sunday,
the 30th inst. The members of the Grand
Army will meet at their post, corner of State
and Ninth streets, where they will be joined
by honorably discharged soldiers, and others
still in the service, who are not members of
.the org,unization. The body will then march
'to the Cemetery, preceded by the carriages
containing disabled comrades. After prayer,
Music will be furnished by the Union Musi
cal Association, and a brief oration be deliv
ered by Capt. C. L. Pierce, Clerk of the
Courts. The decoration of the graves will
then be conducted after the course pursued
twit year. In the evening, an approrniate dis
course will be delivered, in the Methodist
church, by Rev. Mr. Dobbs. Mr. R.' De-
Charmes, Commander of the Post,w[ll act as
eltigf Marshal and Chairman of the Com
mittee of Arrangements. The aid of the cit
izens iisoliclted In procuring flowers for the
occasion.
We iegret that in making choice of their
speakers and officers for. the day, the Grand
Army did notselectmenthers of both parties,
so as to dlveat tbe proceedings of anything
that might give even a suspicion of political
prejudice.
IT is hoped that the citizens of Erie and
vicinity will not forget to contribute flowers
for the dedication of the soldiers' graves, on
the 30th instpt. If all would bring only one
• boquette, - th" supply of flowers would be
ample. field flowers would be just as ac
ceptable, and, if anything, more appropriate
than cultivated. The headquarters of the
Post, Corner of Ninth and State streets, will
be oxen all day Saturday, for the reception
of floral offerings. If it will be inconvenient
for flower; to be left at the Post Efeadqtutr
tens, they can be left at the Post Office.
4 wat,g around the city gives one the im
pression, that tile March of improvement is
oral tq that or any year slope tke war. New
buildings are ; going up in every direction,
and, what is bits& °roll, nearly every one is
of a snbstantisl character.
[Communlcated,l '
AN EDrron ort Ilts. Musett.—/te is Chal
lenged- to Mortal Combat.'—We hate known
for a long time that our amiable friend, the
editor of the Republican, like George' WUkes
and other noted members of the fraternity,
was a warm admirer of- the "manly art of
self-defence," but never suspected that he felt
enough skill in; that line to act as one of its
professional disciples. In this respect
it seems that we were mistaken, and we
make haste to do him the justice of this
public acknowledgment.
As our city readers are aware, a strike took
place among , the printers in the employ of
the Republican on Monday. The reason
given by the :workmen was an alleged' pur
pose on the part of their employers to sup
ply their places with boys and women. The
arrangements had all been made, when one
of the boys, who had been hired under in
junctions of implicit sceresy, feeling more
sympathy for the printers than care for his
own interests, revealed the whole programme.
The men knowing that they were to be dis
charged, took time by the forelock, and' left
the office, placing the proprietors to consid
erable,
inconvenience consequence, and
obliging than' to suspend one issue ,of their
piper.
Of course, this was very provoking, and it
is not surprisitig that when the aforesaid
youth made his appearance in the office, on
the afternoon of the strike, the very sight of
him should have roused all the latent indid
nation of our u>ually sweet-tempered edito
rial friend. He smothered his wrath for a
time, hut the volume continued to swell and
swell, until it could no longer be restrained,
and poured forth in a volume resembling a
small Niagara. The unlucky youth was
commanded to vacate the premises, on-pain
Of compulsory proeess, and not moving with
a celerity equal to the occasion, the editor
executed a professional joke well calculated
to help his pregmss. lie elevated his leg to
an angular positfon, and projected it forward
with immense muscular power against the
boy's nether quarters, with such force as to
give him a momentum that was not checked
until he landed outside on tfi c e.pavement.
The tuoventent is one that has nevt r been
surpassed in the- annals of the "fancy," and
should, and untiouhtedl . ,- . .'•i)l -enure our
amiable friend the honor ut havin ; his por
trait printed in the sporting, weeklies as the
champion kicke.st-of tht dad.
Unfortunately for lour editorial neighbor,
he failed to follow up his advantage with
proper energy. • When the boy recovered, he
immediately set atiout.to repair damages, and
viewing the editop's attack in the light of
a mortal insult, he vowed awful threats of
vengeance. Assuming a strategec position,
be poured out adverbs, adjectives and exclit
!nations without limit against the char
acter of the editor, and- wound up
by asking him to step outside of
the door, if he dared. The• assurance that
in case he did, he irood be knocked into the
hottest part of the infernal regions, COLS not
encouraging enough to induce our editorial
friend to accept the challenge, and it is prob.,
ably due to this praiseworthy prudence that
he still exists to' delight the readers of the
Wpnblieau with his charming effusions.
When 'they know the pci-il he escaped, their
joy will be unbounded, and who knows but
'he may even attain an acme of glory that
will cast the laurels won by Charles Sumner
in his encounter with Brooks entirely in, the
shade
What will be the end ot this terrific en
conntes cannot be predicted, but we tremble
at the thought of the tonsequen6i.s it the
parties should by accident happen to come
into collision. The editor's skill in the
science ot self-defence will give lrfin consid
erable advantage, though whether it will be
sufficient to cope with the boy's pugnacity is•
viewed by some with dubious presentiments.
It is even rumored that the boy has
brought suit for assault and battery, but as
he received nothing except a few contusions,
while, on the other hand, the editor's lite was
seriously threatened, it is not clear how he
can expect to win a favorable verdict from
an intelligent jury.
P. S.—The suit, which has already won a
celebrity equal to the Rudell-Cunningham
case, carne off before Esq. Curtze on Thurs
day morning. Each party appeared, attended
by counsel, and there was a considerable at
tendance ot• spectators. We pave a full
sketch of the proceedings, which are too
lengthy for publication. They are rich, sa
vory and juicy. The amiable editor main
tained his dignity, miawed by the dreadful
charge against him. ' When the opposing
counsel suggested that if the boy had been a
man, he would not have dared to kick him,

Vend:Allem at the Cemetery,
• I noticed in Saturday's Republican a com
munication alluding to the shameful depre
dations committed in the cemetery, by way
of mutilating tomb-stones, monuments, &c.
This brute/ ra arta/on—fox:l feel it deserves
Ph better name—has been suffered long
enough, and certainly , some more effective
measures should be adopted by the Trustees
to put a stop to it, or, at least make an effort
to bring some of these miscreants to justice.
What unpleasant thoughts-Ao say the least
of it—arise in the minds of the mourning
friends, when they make a pilgrimage of love
to the graves of departed dear ones, -to see
the monument they bad erected 4 great ex
pense, defaced or broken; or gome little
statuette or image placed upon the grave of
a beloved child, stolen or broken ; or some
choice shrubbery and flowers missing - or de
stroyed. I say, none but those who have
suffered from these shameful depredations,
can appreciate the feelings these losses bar.
row up.
A.a.a preventative course, I would recom
mend that police powers be given to Mr. Low
and two or three of his assistants, and then
they can arrest any depredator upon the spot
without waiting to procure a warrant or bunt
up an officer. Our city authorities, or the,
authorities of South Erie, could grant these
powers, which would be of little or no ex
pense to their respective corporations.,

ONE.OF the most impudent things we have
seen in a long period is the attempt of the
Republican to saddle its troubles with its
workmen upon the other printing establish
ments In the city. In Its circular to the pub
lielesays
"Any one who understands the jealousy
with which this office has been looked upon
by rival establishments can readily under
stand from what source this interference with
our bpslness comes."
The palpable object of this sentence is to
excite sympathy for the Republican, and
prejudice against its competitors. How much
truth it contains may be seen in the state
ment of the employees themselves, who
say—,
"No 'outside influences' were brought to
bear In the matter whateser, but the act was
purely voluntary on our parts, superinduced
by the facts above stated."

complain of this relaxed condition of the vital
energies; and wiley persons of a nervous
temperament are thus weakened and debili
tated, disease Inevitably follows, unless it is
at once checked and overcome. All who
suffer from these causes alike require a reme

Ist It cures, not by stopping cough, but by
and assisting nature to throw off the
unhealthy matter collected about the throat
and bronchial tubes, causing irritation and
cough.

coagulute and are retained in-the system,caus

way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J. 11. Schenck

. Liver Complaint Is one of the roost prominent
causes of consumption.
• Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a 7 gentle stimu

weed, which thilf preparation is made of, assists
the stomach to throw out the gastric Juice to
dissolve the food with the Pulmonic Syrup,and
it is made into good blood 'without fermentation
or scouring in the stomach.
The great reason - why phySicians do not cure
consumption is, they try too much; they glvo
medicine to stop the cough, to stop 13 lght Sweets,
to stop chllts, hectic fever, and by so doing they
derange the whole digestive powers, locking up
the secretions, and eventually the patient sinks
and dies.
Dr. Schenck, in his treattnent, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills, or fever. Re
