Rebels In Conventions.
The Radical papers continue to rage
about the presence of ax-rebels in the
New York convention, and to argue
from their preseucc that they made the
platform. For that reason they call
upon Union soldiers to oppose it.
Now why don't they spit tipon the
Chicago platform, and call upon Union
soldiers to oppose it for the same rea
son? ExGovcmor Brown, of Georgia,
who seceded from the Union Rnd seized
the Government forts, £<■., aud who
was so fond of seceding that he tried
to secede from the Confederacy, was a
delegate to the Chicago convention.
More of “the red-handcil" besides him
were employed in getting up the Chi
cago platform and nominations. They
did not belong to the bettor class of
rebels either,as thoseat New \Tork did.
They were generally of the outlawed,
guerrilla stripe, such as were compelled
to turn Radical to escape the gallows
they had merited, aud not such as an
honest Union soldier could take by the
hand without contamination.
The truth is, these Radical chaps are
envious of the great and Inspiring
spectacle which was presented in Now
York by the cordial and patriotic union
of soldiers from both sides, whose lofty
characters have., lived in light, and
whose namos and virtues history will
not let die. Radicals would have all
snch men forget the glories of a com
mon ancestry, tear down the monu
ments of our revolutionary fathers,
burn up the records of their fame, for
get the common duty they owe to a
common government, and a “pouring
the sweet milk of concord into hell,
live only to practice the precepts ol
hate and thrive by the ruin of their
country.—[Louisville Courier.
Reception of the Nomination**.
The Democratic press of the country
has uever greeted a nomination with
greater enthusiasm and unanimity than
have been manifested over the nomination
of Seymour and Blair. The joyous and
jubliant feeling with which the Conven
tion completed its work has extends*]
through the Democratic masses, and
inspired the press with the same satisfnc

to lay before our readers a large collection
of the hoarty indorsements and glowing
tributes with which the ticket has
been announced by our Democratic con
temporaries in all parts of the country, but
they have come upon us in such an ava
lanche that it would be impossible for us
to republish enough of them to give an
adequate notion of the universal concord
and animation with which the rallying
cry has been sounded. It is not neces
sary, however, for us to do so. The cause
is sufficient to arouse the people, and the
ticket is not one which needs to bo hoist
ed into popularity by dint of repeated
laudations. Its appearance in the field
has been greeted everywhere with boom
ing cannon and popular acclamation thal
attest the unanimity of tho people. It is
such a ticket us will need no bolstering
but leaves the Democratic papers free to
devote their whole space to the advocacy
of our cause aud to assaults upon the
enemy.—[Louisville Courier.
Our Population One Hundred
l earn Hence.
The most considerate and cautious
estimate set down of the increase ol
population in tho United States for
several decades, is as follows: 1870,
forty-two millions; 1880, fifty-five mil
lion's ; 3890, seventy-seven millions;
1900, one hundred millions. It is not
unreasonable to suppose that in a hun
dred years from this time we may have
a hundred millions in the Mississippi,
seventy on the Atlantic slope, and
thirty on the Pacific. Tlicro are more
owners of the soil in this country than
any other. We have fifteen millions,
whereas Great Britain has less than
thirty thousand. According to Mr.
John Bright, half the land in England
is owned by fewer than oue hundred
and fifty persong, and half the land in
Scotland by not more than ten oi
twelve. No wonder that emigrants
come hither. For the last eighteen
years the average immigration is 181,
; that is to say, during all that pe
riod an emigrant has landed on our
shores on an average of every minute
of time, and oftener, counting tho day
twelve hours long. There are proba
bly fifty tongues doing business in oui
metropolis; there are from thirty to
fifty thousand Chinamen on our Pacific
coast. The commercial convulsions
aud political commotions of Europe,
and tin? fear of revolutions and con
scriptions, arc quickening aud spread
ing from the European continent tho
westward, wave of life.—Rural New

but there has been no outbreak.
jgySherman and Nyc, in the Senate
the other day, managed, by laying theii
lieads together, to get off something
which they considered epigrammatic,
in regard’ to the Democratic party.
They said it had placed a grayback can
didate on a greenback platform. Theii
man entered public life, we believe, as
a rnonky-bneked candidate upon a ponj
platform. They think him able to dc
tho “two-horse act!” now, and have
placed him on tho platform whief

A Vegetable Compound, for the Rapid and
I’crmanont Cure of
t»
( hills and Fever, or Fever and
Ague, Dumb Ague, Intermit
tent and Remittent Fevers,
Jaundice and Enlargement
of tbe Spleen, or Ague
Cake.
Having had indubitable evidenco of its
prompt and certain effects from the testimo
ny of a multitude of rospectnble citizens,
among whom aro classed some of our best
physicians, we no noi nesnaiu iu reiuuiuic«M
t bis Preparation in all cases of Fever ami
Ague and Chills and Fever: indeed, from the
facts in our possession of its intrinsic value,
it would not be too much for us to state that
when the directions are strictly complied
with, we warrant a cure in every case where
it is tried. It is pleasant to the taste, and
the cheapest medicine in the world. There
fore, iu truth, it may be declared the day is
not far distant when it must be appreciated
and used in every household where Fever aud
Ague or Chills and Fever is found to exist.
The wonderful operation of the Texas Tou
ic Sj’rup in neutralizing the effects of mala
rious poison iu the human system, can only
explain its extraordinary agency in the
speedy, thorough and permanent cure of
Chills and Fever or Fever and Ague, and nil
their kindred diseases, in whatever form of
Bilious Complaints they may make their ap
pearance.
As its name imports, it is a Tonic of rare
and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and
harmless ingredients, and are so united as to
form a compound alike skillful in art, beau
tiful in appearance, and can be taken with
safety to the most delicate constitutions. It
is the result of a lifetime of experience aud
practice in a Southern climate, aud was nev
er known to fail, even where all othe reme
dies had been tried in vain.
Those who are unacquainted with the ex
traordinary properties of this home produc
tion, manufactured from Roots and Plants
indigenous to the soil of our “sunny South,”
(and hence adapted to the cure of Southern
climatic diseases) are respectfully referred
to tlie certificates of respectable citizens
whose names are embraced in a pamphlet
which accompanies each bottle; also the en
dorsements ol'the press in all the Southern
States, indicating the many thousand cures
already performed by our justly celebrated
Texas Tonic Syrup.
The reports from hundreds of Druggists,
Merchants and Dealers, from all parts of the
country, are uniform in stating the medicine
is safe,’certain and reliable, as a substitute
for Quinine and the poisonous compounds
heretofore generaliy sold, and is rapidly
supplanting everything of this class.
As a homo enterprise it especially com
mends itself to the people of this section of
the country, who are now struggling iu an
effort to do away with old prejudices in favor
of foreign produce, and may wo not hope
foreign “Quack Nostrums,” the proprietors
of which, iu most cases, are governed by no
thing but mercenary motives, know nothing
j of the properties of Medicinal Agents, and
care nothiug for our interests, except to en
tice our people into the use of their vile
mixtures.
The Texas Tonic Syrup is paoked in cases
of two dozen.
Dealers supplied upon better terms than
any other remedy affords.

Da. John Bum,—Dear Sir: Bait February
1 was in Louisville purchasing drugs, and I
pot some of your Sarsaparilla and Cedron
Bitters.
My son-in-law who was with me in the
store, has been down with rheumatism for
some time, commenced on the Bitters, and
soon found his general health improved.
Dr. Gist, who has been in bad health, tried
them, and he also improved.
Dr. Coffee, who has been in bad hoalth for
several years—stomach and liner affected—he
improved very much by the uso of your Bit
ters. Indeed the Cedron Bitters has given
you great popularity in this settlement, I
think 1 could sell a’ great quantity of your
medicines this fall—especially of your Ced

WORM DESTROYER.
To my irnlted States and World
wide Readers.
• I have received many testimonials from
professional and medical men, as my alma
nacs and various publications have shown,
all of which are genuine. The following let
ter from a highly educated and popular phy
sician in Georgia, is certainly one of the most
sensible communications 1 have ever received.
Dr. Clement knows exactly what he speaks
of, and his testimony deserves to be written
in letters of gold. Hear what the Doctor
says of BULL'S WORM DESTROYER :

June 29, 1806, /
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I have recent
ly given your "worm uosiroyer oowriti
trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It
lias not failed in a single instance to have the
wished-for effect. 1 am doing a pretty large
country practice, and have daily use for some
article of the kind. I am free to confess that
I know of no remedy recommended by the
ablest authors that is so certain and speedy
in its effects. On the contrary they are un
certeain in the extreme. My object in writ
ing you is to find upon what terms I can get
the medicine directly from you. If I can get
it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of
it. I am aware that the use of such articles
is contrary to the teachings and practice of a
great majority of the regular line of M. I).’s,
but I see no just cause or good sense in dis
carding a remedy which we know to be effi
cient, simply because we may be ignorant of
its combination. For my part, l shall make
it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate
suffering humanity which 1 may be able to
command—not hesitating because some one
more ingenious than myself may have learned
its effects first, and secured the sole right to
secure that knowledge. However, l am by
no means an advocate or supporter of the
thousands of worthless nostrums that flood
the country, that purport to cure all manner
of disease to which human flesh is heir.
Please reply soon, and inform me of your
best terms. 1 am, sir, most respectfully,

I was wounded about two years ago—was

months. Being moved so often, my wounds
have not healed yet. I have not sat up a

DR. JOHN BULL,
Manufacturer and Vendor of tho Celebrated
Smith’s Tonic Syrup!
FOR THE CURE OF
AGUE AND FEVER
OR
CHILLS & FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
jnstly claims for it a superiority over all
remedies ever offered to the public for tho
safe, certain, speedy, and permanent cure of
Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether
of short or long standing. Ho refers to the
entire Western and South-western country
to bear him testimony to the truth of the as
sertion, that in no case whatever will it fail
to cure, if the directions are strictly followed
and carried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient, for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single
bottle, With a perfect restoration of the gen
eral health. It is, however, prudent, and in
every ease more certain to cure, if its use is
continued in smaller doses for a week or two
after the disease has been cheeked, more es
pecially in difficult and long-standing eases.
Usually, this medicine will not require any
aid to k*ep the bowels In good order; should
the patient, however, require a cathartic
medicine, after having taken three or four
doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL'S
VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suffi
cient.
