NatimwWepublican A. OOUBTA. O-A. FRIDAY MORNING ......JmHT «. i«W GEN. GRANT. Until recently, we harobeen very doubt Atl whether it waa possible for the distin guished man whose name heads this article to obtain tho nomination of the Repub lican party for the Presidency, or whether, if nominated, he could be elected. But our doubts have been removed by the unanimity with which the Democratic and Rebel press have opened their batteries of abuse and vindication against him. They never abuse or persecute those they do not fear, and it may be considered a safe indi cation of their dread of any man when they make assaults upon him as a public officer, stfll more when they slander his private character. Until lately these slan derers have claimed General Grant as a supporter of the President, and as such «a dead cock in the pit,” for they know that any man suspected of alliance with the President was politically defunct. Since the Stanton affair, however, they begin to perceive what they might have known before, that General Grant has no sympathy with disunionists and demo cracy. Now their tune, in regard to the General, has completely changed, and they never speak of him without connecting with his name some derisive or derogatory epkhet. If his prospects for the Presi dency were any way doubtful, this treat ment would assure it to him, and if the General were an ambitious man he could desire nothing else. When those who wallow in political filth praise and patron ize any man, it may be set down as certain that he is wholly or nearly as filthy as themselves, but when they villify and malign him, it is just as certain that he is of a purer material and moves in a higher sphere. We hope the traitorous press will con tinue to slander General Grant; they will write him into the Presidency just as they have by the same means made many men of lower position famous and prominent. REDUCTION OF TAXES. It seems to be the fixed determination of Congress that a portion of the onerous taxes imposed on the country by the war of secession, shall be removed, and we are already informed that a measure has been adopted as a basis of action for anew system of taxation, which will reduce the taxes one-half. Such a measure will do much to stimulate industry and encourage production. The Cotton Tax, however, the most odious of all, will remain un ohanged, at least until the next crop. This burden upon an industry borne down by the changed circumstances of the coun try, and now struggling for existence, was most unwisely imposed and continued. The time may not be far distant when it will become necessary to offer bounties for the production of cotton, instead of bur dening it with taxation. The competition in the growth of the staple, fostered by a foolish attempt at disunion, is daily be coming more formidable, and cotton can not much longer bear the burden upon its production, imposed by those whose pro vince it is to restore the Union. A DICTATOR. The Democratic papers pretend to be very much alarmed lest the country should become a military dictatorship. Possibly, with their continual deflanee of law and attempts at revolution there may be some daDger, but these very papers, time and again, during the Confederacy, wanted Jeff Davis to assume the dictatorship, and he did so in reality, though not in name. These same papers are very hysterical about the rights of. the State. Many a man can remember how, at the beginning of the rebellion, the proposition was made to abolish all State lines, and merge the whole Confederacy into one central gov ernment. It was right then to ignore State lines and State rights; but wrong now. In oui opinion it was wrong then and now. [Communicated.

WE BEG LEAVE TO CALL THE ATTEN TION of tho public to this long tested aDd unrivalled FAMILY MEDICINE. The PAIN KILLER is a purely vegetable compound; and wbilo it is a most efficient Ken edy for Pain, it is a perfectly safe medicine, even in the most unskillful hands, for SUMMER GOMPPAINT, or any other form of Bowel Disease in children or adults. It is an almost certain cure, and has, without doubt, been more successful in curing the various kinds of CHOLERA than any other known remedy, or even tho most skillful physician. In India, Africa and China, where this dreadful disease is ever more or less prevalent, the PAIN KILLER is considered by the natives, as well as European residents in those climates, A SURE REMEDY. Asa Tonic for the Stomach, it is unrivalled. A few doses will relieve severe cases of INDIGESTION, and it is often a perfect cure for DYSPEPSIA in its most aggravated forms. Its tonic and stimulating properties, arousing the system to vigorous action, render it a most effectual curs for COLDS AND COUGHS, when used according to directions. For external application, it is unsurpassed by any medical preparation known. RHEUMATISM and Neuralgic Affections are quickly relieved and of'en cured by it. Any soreness in the Muscles or Joints can bo relieved by its applica tion. It cures instantly tho most violent TOOTHACHE. It should always be kept near at hand, to be used in eases of severe BURNS OR SCALDS. If applied immediately, according to directions, it will givo instant relief, and prevont blistering. It is peculiarly adapted to the wants of SEAMEN, and persons making sea voyages, and no vessel should sail without a supply of it. On* captain writes us: “I have made several voyages—often with emigrants—and though I keep a good medioine •host, and have several times had a good deal of sickness on board, I have found the Pain Killer so efficient in all cases as to entirely preclude the use of all other medicines.” One positive proof of its efficacy is, that the sales have constantly increased, and wholly upon its own merits. Tho effect of the Pain Killer upon the patient, whon taken internally in cases of Colds, Cough, Bowel Complaints, Cholera, Dysentery, and other affeotions of the system, has been truly wonderful, and has won for It a name among the medical preparations that can nover be forgotten. Its success in re moving Pain, as an external remedy, in eases of Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains, Cuts, Sting of Insects, and other causes of suffering, has se cured for it such a host of testimony, as an almost infallible remedy, that it will be handed down to posterity as ono of the greatest medical discoveries of the nineteenth century. The magloal effects of the Pain Killer, when taken or used according to directions, are certain. You have only to be sure that you buy the genuine article and adhere to the directions in Us use, and you will admit its wonderful medi cinal properties. Tho genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is now put up in pannel bottles with the words Davis Vegetable Pain Killer blown in the glass ; and with two stsel engraved labels on each bottle one an excellent likeness of Perry Davis, the original inventor of the medioine, the other a steel engraved note of hand—none others can be relied upon as genuine. Tbs Pain Killer is sold by Druggists and Grocers. PERRY DAVIS A BON, Proprietors, jalO—2m No. 74 High st., Providence, R.I.
