NfttionalHcpublican lAßflisTcirf ciiiri lation Official Organ of the U. S. Government. SUNDAY MORNING August 2,18« S There’* a meddlesome “Somebody” going ebout, And pleying his pranks, but wo can’t And him out; He’s up stairs and down stairs from morning till night. .... And always in mischief, but never in sight. 4Thc rogues I have read of in song or in tale Arc caught at the end and conducted to jail; But “Somebody’s’’ tracks are' all covered so well He tiever has seen the inside of a cell. Our young folks at home, at all seasonsand times, Are rehearsing the roll of “ Somebody’s” crimes; Or, fast as their feet and their tonguea can well run, Come to Veil the last deed the sly seamp ha* done. “ 'Somebody’ has taken my knife," one will say; '“Somebody’ has carried my pencil away;” " ‘Somebody’ has gone and thrown down all the blocks •" ‘Somebody’ ate np all the cakes in the box.” It is “ Somebody” breaks all the pitchers and plates, And hides the hoys’ sleds, and runs off with Uieir skates, And turns on the water, and tumbles the beds, And steals all the pins, and melts all the dolls’ beads. One night a dull sound like the thump of a head, Announced that one youngster was out ot his bed: And he said, half asleep, when asked what it meant, ‘“Somebody” is pushing me out of the tent !” Now, if these high crimes of “Somebody” don’t cease, We must summon in the detective police; And they, in tbeir wisdom, at once will make known, The culprit belong? to nlf house btft our own. Then should it turn out, after all, to be (rue, That our young folks tbeiu?clve? are “Somebody” too, How queer it would look, 1f we saw them all go Marched off to the Station House six in a row. repurlicam prATroKm. The National Republican party of the United State.*, assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi cago, on the 20th day of May, 1868, make the following Declaration of Principles : lift. We congratulate the country on the assured suc cess of the reconstruction policy of Congrcu, a 3 evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the States lately in rebellion, of Constitutions securing equal civil and political rights to all, and regard it as the duty of the Govemment to sustain those institutions, and to prevent the people of such States from being remitted to a state of anarchy. 2<l, The guarantee, by Congress, bf equal suffrage to all loyal men in the South was demanded by every con sideration of public saYety, of gratitude and of justice, and must be maintained, while the question of suffrage in all the loyal States properly belong* to the people of those States. 3d. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a na tional crime, and the Rational honor requires the pay ment of the public indebtedness, m the utmost good faith, to all creditors, at home and abroad, not only according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws under which it was contracted. 4th. It is due to the labor of the nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the na tional faith will permit. sth. The national debt, contracted, as It has been, for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, should be extended over a fair period for redemption, and it is the duty of Congrem to reduce the rate of In terest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done. 6th. That the best policy to diminish out; burden of debt Is to so improve onr credit that capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower rates of Interest than we now pay, and must continue to pay, so long as repudiation, partial or total, open or covert, la threatened or sus pected. * 7th. The Government of the States should be administered with the strictest economy, and the cor ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew 3oh»Ron call loudly for rv.Ucal re form. Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of Andrew 1 Johnson to the PrCHtdency,* who has acted treacherously to the people who-elected him and the cause he was pledged to support ; has usurped high legislative and Judicial functions; has refused to exe cute the laws; has used his high office to induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws; has employed his executive |H»wers to render insecure the property, peace, liberty and life of the citiaen; has abused the pardoning power: has denounced the National legisla ture as unconstitutional; has persistently ami corruptly resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the Slates lately in re bellion; batt perverted the. public patronage into an engine of wholesale corruption; and has been justly impeached for high crimes and misdomoaimrs, and properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of thhty’Hve Senators. 9th. The doctrine of Great Britain andother European powers, that because a man la once a subject, he is always so, in tut be resisted at every hazard by the United Slates, as a relic of the feudal Hine, not author ized by the la* of nations, and at war with otir national honor and independence. Naturalized citizens arc enti tled to be protected in all tbeir rights of citizenship as though they were natural born, and no citizen or tlie United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts done, or words spoken, in this country, and if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to interfere in his behalf, t 10th. Os all who were faithful In the trials of the late w:;r, there were none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen, who endured tile hardships of the campaign and cruise, and imperilled their lives in the sendee of tbo country. The bounties and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders of the nation arc obliagtions never to be forgotten. The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people, a sacred legacy bequetfthed to the nation's protecting care. 11th. Foreign Immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development of resources, and increase of power of thia nation,.the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encour aged by a liberal and Just policy. 12th. This Gonvention dedares its sympathy with all the oppressed people which are' struggling for their rights. * INfiRAVWw’JjU Mi ctlit x.’ '•*•**- •<’«» ■ GET THE BEST Webster’s Dictionary, UMABRIDGED.

BROWN, COOMBS & CO., Proprie tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer tbeir best services to inrentori, ns Solicitors of Ameri can ami-Foreign Patents- Mr. Hksry T. BiiOw.n, of this firm, has bad more than hrenty-tiro years expeiieocc in that prefession, l<otli in this country mid Europe; for fifteen years he was the principal professional assistant, of Messrs. Mukn &> Co., Patent Agents of this city ; and his long practice has made him personally known to thousands of in ventors and patentees. The npplicatioos for the patents upon many of the greater and more im portant inventions of the pres-nt century have been prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Coombs A Co., ore thoroughly familiar with all tin.- rules and re gulations instituted for the rapid tiansaction of business witli the United States Patent Office, and the geneial practice in Hie Patent Bureaus of vari ous European countries; and this knowledge ren ders them confident that their post experience, with their present uncqnalcd facilities, enables them to elaborately and yet speedily prepare all tho docu ments required by law hi applications for patents, and to promise tin ir clients an absolute cerhnnty ofsuccess\\\ tlii iiy-tloits to'.dbtain’Lcttcrs.Patent for iiivenlions that ate really new and useful. Parti cufar care is given to tile execution of the accurate drawinys which must always accompany every application for a patent, and they employ none but the most efticient draughtsmen. Die best evidence of tlie manner in which Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co.'s business is pei-fAlined, is, that tlie “Amer ican Aki isan Patent Agency,'' during Hie three years of its existence, lias been the most successful institution of the kind ever established. The principal offices of Messrs. Brown. CooMbs &. Co. are Sil nated at 189 Broadway, opposite John street, New York, in the most central part of the city. This location is one of very easy access by strangers inasmuch as it. is within a stone's throw from tlie City Hall. All inventors temporarily so journing in tlie metropolis are invited to visit this estiblishmeiit. In|thonmjorityofinstancenomodel or drawing of an invention will be r.ecessary on the first interview, as a mereproZ description by tlie visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such aknowfedge of liis invention as will enable Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co. »o definitely determine whether a machine or process is ne w or old—paten table or not. Tlie office hours will be from I) a. m. to 5 p. M. Messrs. Brown, Coombs it Co. are prepared to furnish to persons residing at a distance from New yoris—free ms charge— written opinions as to whether inventions contain any features of paten table novelty; to do this they simply reftuire a sketch or rough model of the machine or other .in vention that is supposed to be new, together witli a brief description of the same, and as soon as pos sible thereafter a letter of tlie best advice is mail ed to tlie person desiring the information. These opinions are formed from their own mature exper ieticejbut if an inventor desires to know, positively, wliether iiis incipient idea has ever been embodied in a macluue or process already patented, his wisest course will bo to have -apreliminary examination made at tlie United States Patent office by Messrs. Brown, Coombs &, Co., who will make a special searchpiniong all the records of that institution, and then promptly forward a full and carefully written report as to the patentability of the invention un der examination. For this labor tlie small fee of $5 is payable in advance; and tlie leniittancc should lie accompanied by a sketch of the invention and a few lines of writing describing the same, aud distiuedy stating those pointsof novelty which tlie inventor desires to have protected by Letters- Patetit Patents for new and useful inventions are now granted fur the term of seventeen years. The oinhe Government fee is sls, which sum togidncr with fifty cents vevenue stamp tax ou the porter of attorney— is payable i» advance, on applying far tlie patent; and S2O additional are due to the Government when the Letters Patent are allowed. The Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac cording to the labor involved: bnt in all cases our ciiarges will be as moderate as possible in the pre p (ration of drawings and all necessary documents. This fee is not payable until after the application has been prepared and the case is ready to be sent to '.i a. liingtoii, Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co. have a branch, in Washington so that all applica tions made through them can haveevery necessary attention in their passage through the Patentoffice. Inventors applying for patents must furnish models of tlieii- machines, whenever passible, for the inspection of the Examiners in the Patent Office; nut if the invention is a chemical composi tion, samples of all tlie ingredients will be neces sary. Each of these should be marked with the in ventor's name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by express, prepaid}, together with tlie first instilljuen oftlieGovernment, fee, to Messrs Brown, Coombs & Co. Whin the model is small and fight, it can be conveniently and cheaply sentby mail Tlie model must not exceed one foot in any of its dimens ions, unless it is of such a sliaracter that, it is im practicable. Patents, except those for designs, are granted on equal terms to citizens and all foreigners, except inhabitnnts ofyCanada and sonjg others of the British American Provinces. Besides patents or Hew and nsefiu inventions, there are also granted patents for designs. Design-patents are not now, as formerly, limited strictly to ornamental configuration : bnt under Section 11 of the Act of March 2,1861, any new form of aqy article, or any impression orjigure upon tlie surface of any article or material, by whatever nieutis or process produced, can be patented. Un der this Act, patentees are entitled to the exten siolioftlieir respective patents for the term of teven years from the day on which said patents shall ex pire, upon the same termsand restrictions as are now provided forthe extensions of Letters-Patent. Among tlie numerous subjects foi patents of this class may be particularly mentioned —castings of all metals, parts el machines, household furniture and utensils; glassware, hardware of all kinds, cornices, and other interior and exterior decorations of buildings: also, designs for woven and printed fabrics, dress and upholstery triininuigs, and har ness labels and trade marks for medicines, per fumery. and all preparations, compositions, or inercliandi e, put up in liottles, boxes, or otlffir packages, are suitable subjects; also, the. forms of such bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, and envelopes, likewise all works of art, as statuary; busts, compositions in alto or basso-jelievo. The Government fee on a design-patent .for '.ij yeajs is $10; 7 years,sls; 11 yean-, S3O. No models of designs are required: but duplicate drawings or photographs must be furitishcd Tlie speciligdiou to accompany the drawings or photographs re quires to be prepared with great care. Messrs Batin n. Coombs & Cm give very particular at tention to this branch of their Misiness. Their charge for preparing applications for design-patents is generally about sls. Design palcnls are only granted to American c’tizensor to aliens who have resided one year in tlie United States and made oath of their intention to become citizens thereof. The facilities of Messrs. li xtwN, CooMU.-i & Co for obtaining patents in the various European countries arc equal if not superior t<> those of any other in the Uaiu-d Slates. With regard to their qualifications for such business, it need only be staled that Mr. Brown, while witli (Messrs. Munn. A Co. and in his previous practice, and since the establishment of the” American Artisan Patent Agiincv.' han had ofiuore Euro pean applications than any othej. person in this country, Messrs. Brown, Coombs A Co., besides having a branch, ojfiee in Washington, have their own agencies in the principal capitals of Europe.

HIGH ENDORSEMENT FROM THB MEDICAL COLLEGE OF PRUSSIA. DR. R~ADWAY Is in receipt of an important official docu ment, signed by the Professors of tho Medical College of Breslau, Prussia, embodying the result of an analysis of RADWAY’S REGULATING PILLS. “ The Faculty of the College state in their report that after a careful and minute examina tion, they have the honor to state that “ the pills are not only free from every substance injurious to health, but are composed wholly of substances and elements promotive of digestion, and certain at the same time to act favorably upon the nervous system, &c., * &e. They state, further, that the injurious rumors set afloat by the Prussian apothe caries originated “in a mean spirit of trade jealousy, excited by the great celebrity at tained by the Pills within a very brief period.” Signed on behalf of the College, DB. PHIL. THEOBALD WERNER, Dirsotor of the Polytechnie Bureau. DB. HESSE, First Auietant, INDIGESTION I Tn cases where patural evacuations are difficult to secure, and a quick discharge is essential, take six of Radway’s Pills and pul verize them, —take the pill powder in water or preserves, —in half an hour they will ope rate. We have known the most distressing pains of Gastritis, Bilious Cholic, Inflamma tion, Congestion, &c., stopped, and the re tained irritating humors expelled from the bowels in thirty minutes by this treatment. It is however, better in chronic cases to take the pills as they are, and let them gradually dissolve the stomach. These Pills possess in the 'lighest degree cathartic, aperient, tonic, and diapharetic properties. They do do not weaken or debilitate the system or any of its organs, and will leave the bowels regular and healthy. They purify and equal ize the circulation of the blood. No conges tion or inflammation will occur while the system is under their influence. Price 26 cents per box, or 6 boxes for one dollar. Sold by PLUMB <£■ LEITNER, ''■in -i.y.
