—Subscription of $40,000 for
tne Seymour and Blair, Cam
paign.
The following correspondence is impor
tant, as it practically illustrates the views
of thinking mid enterprising merchants,
and those who have uot altogether lost
their love of country or Constitution as
handed down by our fore fathers, or who
have a respect for maintaining its honor
and character :
594 Broadwax, New York, Oct 14.
To George Washington Langley, Esq.,
firm of Langley, Sautcrlee Blackwell
if- Co., 379 Broadway, Mew York
Dhar Sir- —When Horatio Seymour
was by acclamation nominated for I’resi
dent of the United States hy the Demo
cratic party, it was conceded by all parties
that he was a good statesman and sound
defender of our Constitution, but since bis
nomination L have noticed many slander
ous remarks in regard to his conduct dur
ing the war. Happily, Hon. A. G Cur
tin, ex Governor of Pennsylvania, has ex
pressed himself in a most friendly man
ner, remarking that the least said against
Seymour’s conduct during the rebellion
the best for the Republican party, as be
would acquit him of such abuse.
Now, as to F. 1’. Blair, I have observed
that he had no claims whatever upon the
Democratic party, and to this 1 would say,
Why not? Was it because he fought in
the army, and for (lie restoration of tha
f.'nion ? He was nominated at Tammany
Hall with shouts of applause, just after
proclaiming that we must have a Presi
dent untrauimeled by an unconstitutional,
oppressive un i arbitrary Congress. Since
tbe close of the rebellion 1 have carefully
noticed tbe expression of Southern jour
nals, politicians and merchants, and find
hat all are desires of living in harmony,
ind expect thut the election of feymour
ttid lJlair will be the means td‘ encourage
nunt and the extension of tlie right band
of fellowship, thereby evidencing it com
pete vindication of the object of the war I
»nd of tbe Constitution, and restoring the j
rights of an impoverished and oppressed
•union of our country.
Before concluding, I will ndSIress my
self to the young Mid enterprising nier
shants and laboring classes. In the sari,
ms city papers of recent date [ have
noticed a correspondence between Judge
la Pierrepout and A. T Stewart, the sub
■itance of which was that they both desired
the election of U. S. Grant for President,
Judge Picrrepont tendering a check for
820,000 for furthering his elcctiou
Now. to the sensible reader and the young
merchant, is not this in itself perfectly
explanatory of their interests, and is it
not opposed to their development? Do
they expect to be beuefitted ? Is it ribt for
purely mercenary motives ? The contest
presents a well-defined issue beetween the
bondholders and the enterprising and
laboring classes, and resolves itself into an
oppression. Greenbacks for one find gold
for another In this correspondence I
would not wish to assert anything against
the payment of the debt, but the interest
is exorbitant—it cannot he paid excepting
in the same currency as purchased, and
when this is once doue capital seeks other
investments of a more lucrative character,
thereby producing a revenue, and gradual
ly approaching a gold basis In conclu
sion, permit me to tender my check for
840,000, to be used in such manner as
you may think most -advisable for the
furtherance of my views.
True to our friends and kind to the
weak, is the Democratic doctrine advoca
ted by Truly yours,
II. T HELMBOLD.
//. T. HelmbM, Esg., 594 Broadwng :
Your letter of the 14th'inst., received,
containing eheck for $40,000. Thia
amouut 1 shall use in the most appropriate
manner I perused the content! of your
letter with the utmost gratification The
question is presented to the people whether
they will aid in electing an administration
bent on trampling the Constitution into
the dust, and elevating upon its ruins a
power controlled by bondholding aristoc
racy, whose motto gold for the rich and
rags for tlio poor, with prostration in every
branch of industry and the business of the
whole country, or from whose intelligent
administration we can hava ouo Union,
one country, one destiny.

Fall Trade In New York.
The encouraging reports of the heal
thy condition of the crops in all sec
tions of the country gave promise of a
brisk trade and. although late, the mer
chants nil succeeded in bringing their
I heir stocks up to «lie demand—but it
is probable that «t the close of the sea
son a much smaller quantity of goods
will bo on hand than at any similar
period for several years past. Not on
ly is trade this year exceedingly brisk,
liut it is financially sound. The bank
rupt laws in the South have swept
away very many of the small specula
tive and unprincipled traders who, on
the strength of w holesale promises,
used to obtain credit when they had
neither immediate nor prospective
means of payment, and the South to
day labors under le«s liabilities than it
has done for many vears. The crops
of corn, cotton, and rice have been
good and well secured. The principal
buyers from the South are old estab
lished firms whose credit is good,
while the smaller traders, or such of
them ns buy In this market, are buying
for cash, very few, ! Iced, are asking
for credit. fho whose means ren
dered such s course necessary, pre
ferred w tiling until the crops could be
realized, and will then buy in home
markets. The amounts shipped to the
Southern markets are, however, greater
this year than it hag been since the
commencement of the war World
lie ReraM.
The three greet State* of Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania in their elec
tion* of yesterday pronounced again*!
the Democratic party. They have ren
dered a verdict contrary to onr expec
tation* and desire*. Had the contest
oeen waged between the relative merit
of opposing principle*, we fhotild have
anticipated a decisive triumph. The
canvass wa* conducted upon false
premises. The Republican party,
knowing that tlreir success depended
on the result, succeeded in blinding the
masses to the real issues in the contest
by exciting their prejudices and pM
sinus with the ghosts of dead questions.
The poor, the oppressed 8mith whs
made the foot-ball of a game which was
.played to deceive.
But In the iriidst of defeat let os take
fresh courage, renew our devotion to
the principles of the Democratic party,
and stand by them to the last. Let ui
calmly await that period when tha
American people, appealing rather to
reason than to passion, truth rather
than error, shall return to wisdom,
justice and moderation in their views
of public polity. Though it. would
seem that a night of Egyptian darkness
threatened to close over us, the hour of
misfortune rather than prosperity is
the true test of every manlv, noble and
heroic virtue. We'should remember
that the more the giants of the forest
are shaken by the storm the deeper the
roots they send forth in resistance to
its power.
Our friends in those States have
fought a good tight, but the odds were
against them. Though they come out
of the contest defeated, they have not
surrendered their cause.
To the Democratic party of Georgia,
as the Duke of Wellington to a waver
ing regiment on the field of Waterloo,
through whom the day was finally won,
we would say “stand firm!”—Atlanta

More of “Those Arms.”
AVe learn from Capt. Streeper, of the
steamer “Agnes, ‘•'now at our wharf and
just from St. Louis, that there remains
at that city forty tons of muskets and
ammunition, consigned, as those lately
destroyed were, to Harbour Lewis, en
route for Governor ( ?) Clayton, of Ar
kansas. The parties in charge of this
freight desired to* ship it on the
“Agnes ’ to the momh ofAVhite river,
but. be it remembered to the credit of
Capt. Streeper, lie refused the job, and
when lie left St. Louis, the agents could
not make an arrangement, at any price,
whereby these Radicals guns could he
forwarded to their destination. If by
chance a steamboat man, base enough,
should be found to carry this freight as
far as this city, we hope Smith's or
Nunns Ku-Kluxers will not only
“dump” it, but those in charge of it,
into the river.—Memphis Appeal.
A Democratic Bird.—“Hurrah for
Seymour and Blair! Hurrah for Blair!
Hurrah for Seymour and Blair!” This
cry may be heard at almost every hour
of the day on Exchange Alley. If you
happen to look around to see where
the sound comes from, perhaps you
may not see any one on the thorough
fare at all enthusiastically inclined.
If you remain a little while longer,
however, you will find that the enthu
siastic cheers for Seymour and- Blair,
and Blair particularly, is confined in a
cage. He is a prisoner—perhaps he
was once a paroled prisoner, hut now
he is again in his prisou ; but he hears
his troubles manfully,and is still hopc
fhl of recovering the lost freedom and
breakiug the chains riveted upon the
people. This parrot is eoboing the cry
of a people in chains: Hurrah for
Seymour and Blair! Hurrah for Blair!”

“AV anted to Marry a AVhitb Gal.—
One of the Radical candidates for the
Legislature in Choctaw county had a
little boy about fifteen years old, who
fell in lore and engaged himself to one
of the neighboring girls. His father,
learning the facts, hunted the young
man up, and finding him at his lady
loves house, gave him a good whip
ping and sent him home. The little
fellow started on his way crying, and
met one of the neighbors, who inquir
ed what was the matter. The little fel
low replied that his father whipped him
because he wanted to marry.
‘•Why, my son,” said the neighbor.
“I'would not care for that—plenty of
time in five fears for you to marry.”
“Yes, but t do,” replied the little fel
low, blubbering, “I have got a chance

will declare them to be of equal size.
Xow, turn the page upside down, and,
without, any careful looking, you wilt
see that this difference in size is very

from this that here is a tendency in the

LETTER FROM II1S MOTHER.
Denton Barracks, Mo., April 30, 1800.
Dr. Jojin Bull—Pear Sir: Knowing the
efficiency of your Sarsaparilla, ami the heal
ing and* beneficial qualities it possesses, I
send you the following statement of my case.
1 was wounded about, two years ago—was
taken prisoner and confined for sixteen
months. Being moved so often, my wounds
have not healed yet l have not sat up a
moment since I was wounded. I am shot
through the hips. My general health is im
paired, and 1 need something to assist na
ture. I have more faith in your Sarsaparilla
than any thing elso. I wish that that is gen
uine. Please express me half a dozen bottles,
and obligo
Carr. C. P. JOHNSON,
St. Louis, Mo.
P. S.—The following was written AprH 30,
18G5. by Mrs Jennie Johnson, mother of
Capt. Johnson.
Dw. Bull—Dear Sir: My husband. Dr. C.
S. Johusou, was a skillful surgeon and physi
cian in Central New York, where he died,
leaving the above C. P. Johnson to my care.
At thirteen years of age ho had a chronic di
arrhea and scrofula, for which I gave him
your Sarsaparilla. It Cured Him. I have
for ten years recommended it to many in
New York, Ohio, and Iowa, for scrofula, fe
ver gores, anu general ueuimy. i eneei suc
cess has attended it. The cures effected in
some cases of scrofula and fever sores were, almost
miraculous. I am very anxious for my son
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla.
He is fearful of getting a spurious article,
hence his writing to you for it. His wounds
were terrible, but I believe he will recover.
Respectfully,
JENNIE JOHNSON.

TEXAS TONIC SYRUP!
A Vegetable Compound, for the Kapid awl
Permanent Cure of
CliiXlft and Fever, or Fever and
Ague, Dumb Ague, Intermit
tent and Remittent Fever*,
Jaundice and Enlargement
of the Spleen, or Ague
Cake.
Having had indubitable evidence of i11*
prompt ami certain effects fTotii the testimo
ny of a multitude of re«pecPtblo citizens,
among whom arc classed some of our best
physicians, we do not hesitate to recommend
this Preparation in all cases of tever 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 slate that
when the directions are strictly complied
with, we warrant, a cure in every oaac where
it is tried. It is pleasant to the taste, and
the cheapest medicine in the world. There
fore, in truth, it may hi1 declared the dsy is
not tar distant when it must be appreciated
and used in every household where Fever and
Ague or Chills and Fever is found to exist.
The wonderful operation of the Texas Ton
ic Syrup in neutralizing the effects of mala
rious poison in the human system, can only
explain its extraordinary agency in the
speedy, thorough and permanent cure of j
Chills and Fever or Fever and Ague, and all
their kindred diseases, iu whatever form of
llilious 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 j
form a compound alike skillful in art, beau- j
liful iu appearance, and can be taken with
safety to the most delicate, constitution* • It I
is the result of a lifetime of experience and f
practice in a Southern climate, and was nev- j
or known to fail, even where all othe rente- j
dies had been tried in vain.
Those who are unacquainted with the ot j
traordinary properties of this home produc- j
tion, manufactured from Roots and Flan is
indigenous to the soil of our “sunny South,”
(and hence adapted to the cure of Southern
climatic diseases) are respectfully referred
to the certificates of respectable citizens
whose names arc embraced in a pamphlet
which accompanies each bottle; also the en
dorsements of 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, fro hi 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 generally sold, and is rapidly
supplanting everything of this class.
As a home 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 we not hope
foreign “Quack Nostrums,** the proprietors
of which, in most cases, are governed by no
thing but mercenary motives, know nothing
of the properties of Medicinal Agents, and
care nothing for our interests, except to en
tice our people into the use of their vile
mixtures.
The Texas Tonic Syrup is packed in cases
of t wo dozen.

any other remedy affords.
