E. Bryast, Chairman Republican Committee , Fifth Congressional District. RKPCIRtaICAN PUTFOUM. The National Republican parly of the United States, :u>sembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi cago, on the 20th day of May, 1868, make the following Declaration of Principles -. Ist. We congratulate the country on the assured suc cess of the reconstruction policy of Congress, as 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 Government to sustain tls.se institutions, and to prevent the people of such States from being remitted to a state of anarchy. 2d. The guarantee, by Congress, of equal suffrage to all loyal men to the South was demanded by every con sideration of public safety, of gratitude and of justice, and must be maintained, while the question of suffrage in all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of those States. . 3d. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a na tlonal crime, and the national honor requires the pay ment of the public indebtedness, in the utmost good faith, to all creditors,-at home and abroad, not only according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws tiudtr which it was contracted. 4th. It is duo to,tee labor of the nation that taxation should be equalized aiid reduced as rapidly as the na tional faith will permit. Sth. The national debt, contracted, as it has been, lor the preservation of the Union for ill time to emit, should be extended over a fair period for redemption, and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in terest thereon, Whenever it ran honestly be done. 6th. That the best policy to diminish our burden of deto. is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loan us money at jwsr pates of interest than we now pay, and must continue to pay, so long as repudiation, parilaf or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus pected. 7th. The Government of the United States should be administered with the strictest economy, and the cor ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for radical re form. Bth. We profoundly dtqitorc the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, 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 tv exe cute the laws; has used his high office to induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws; has employed his executive powers to render insecure the property, peace, liberty and life of the citizen; has abused the pardoning power; has denounced the National Legisla ture as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly resisted, by every measure in his pow er, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in re - bellion; has perverted the public patronage tote an engine of wholesale corruption; and has been justly impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly pronounced guilty thereof by at- vote of thirty-five Senators. 9th. The doctrine of Great Britaitrand other European powers, that because a man is once a subject, be is always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the United States, as a relic of the feudal time, not author-, iced by the law of nations, awl at war with our national honor and Independence. Naturalized eitiaens are enti tled to be protected to all their rights of citizenship as though they were natural bom, and no citizen of the United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts done, or words spoken, to this country, and if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to interfere In his behalf. . 10th. Os all who were faithful in the trials of the late war, there were none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen, who endured the hardships of the campaign and cruise, and imperilled their lives in the service of tho country. The bounties and pensions provided by law tor these brave defenders of the nation are obliagtions never to be forgotten. The widow s and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the natlon'z protecting care. 11th. Foreign inmigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development of respnrees, and increase of power of this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, shonld be fostered and encour aged by a liberal and Jost policy. 12th. This Convention declares Us sympathy with all the oppressed people which are struggling for their right*- r PAINTER & FINCH, BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS. Manufacturers of sash, blinds and Doors.

Telford, Missionary iu .China, uow visiting his home in Pennsylvania: Washington, Pa., Juno2s, I81i(>. Messrs. Perry Davit & Son, Providence, R. 1.: Dear Sirs —During a residence of some ten years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera. In administering the medioine, 1 foend it most effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer iu a gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then, after about fifteen aiinutea, begin to give a table spoonful ot the same mixture every minute until relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to the extremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain Killer, clear and rub the limbs briskly. Ol those who had the cholera, ami took the medicine faith fully iu the way stated above, eight out of tea recovered. Yours, truly, R Telford. If an attack with Diarrhttot, Dysentery, or Cramp Colic, don’t delay the use of the Pain Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers Price, 25 cents, 50 cents, and $1 per bottle. • ■ ~. I - Manhattan, Kansas, April 17,18f>(i. Gentlemm — * * * 1 want to say a little more about the Pain Killer. I consider it a very valuable medicine, ,aud always keep it on hand. I have travelled a good deal since 1 have been in Kansas, and never without taking it with me. In my practice 1 used it freely for the Asiatic Cholera, in 1819, ami with better success than any other medicine ; 1 also used it here for cholera iu 1855, with the same goad result. Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D. . Swatu, China. Cholcia! * * * I regret to say that the cholera has prevailed here of late to a tearful extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to titty or sixty fatal cases each day has been re ported. I snould add that the Pain Killer, sent recert(ly trom the Mission House, has been used with success during this epidemie. If taken in season is generally enectnal iu check ing Ute disease, Rev. CHARLES HARDINIG. Sliolapore, India. [From the Portland Monthly ! Summer Complaint and Dysentery. Bowel complaints seem"jnst now to be the prevailing element, and any medicine that is everywhere acceptable, and that is reliable, is a very desirable acquisition. From what we have seen, beard, and experienced, we believe Davis' Pain Killer is thia desideratum. For the best method of using it, we quote from the directions: “For common bowel complaints, give one tea spoonful in iif-ill of new milk' and molasses, in eqnal parts, stirred well together; lessen the dose for children, according to the age. If the pain be severe, bathe the bowels and b;u:k with tho medi cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of the cholera morbus, sadden stoppages, etc. Re peat the dose every hour. “The quickest way I ever saw the dysentery cured was'by taking one spoonful of the Pain Killer in one gill of milk and molasses stirred well together and drank hot. at the same time bathing the bowels freely witA medicine. Let the dose lie repealed every hour until the pafient is relieved.’’ If every person who has reason to fear this disease would provide themselves with a bottle of this mediehie, and use as. occasion required, vre believe a great amount of' Suffering and sickness, would bo saved. je!2—2a> Special Notice.

NO 338 — * - The American Artisan UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN PATENT AGENCY Messrs. BROWN, COOMBS fc CO., Proprie tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their best services to inventors, as Solieitort of Ameri can aud Foreign Patents. Mr. HksrvT.Brown, of this firm, lias had more than tmntyrim years’ experience in that prefeseion, both ta this country ■nd Europe; for fifteen years he Was the principal professional assistant of Messrs. Munk & Co., Patent Agents of this city; and his long practice has made him personally known to tbonsamlsof in- ’ ventors aud patentees. The anplicatioos for the patents upon many of the greater and more im portant inveutions'of the present century have been prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Coobss de. Co., are thoroughly familiar with all the rales and re gulations instituted for the rapid traneiictfon of business with the United States Patent Office, and the general practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari ous European countries; and this knowledge ren ders them confident that iheirpost experience, with their present unequaled facilities, enables them to elaborately and yet speedily prepare all the docu ments required by law in applications for patents, and to promise their clients an absolute certainty ofniccessin theirjefl'orts toj>btahi[Letter<l>atent for hiventious that are really new and ueeftif. Parti cular care is given to the execution of the accurate drawings which must always accompany every application for a patent, and they employ none but the most efficient draiightemon. The beet evidence of the manner iu which Messrs. BboWn, Coombs & CflFs buslnlma is performed, ie, that the “Amer ican Artisan Patent Agknct,” during the three years of its existence, hue been Ike most successful institution of the kind ever established. The principal offices of Messrs. Baotvw.Coombs fc Co. are sitnated at 189 Broadway, opposite John street, New-York, in the most central part of the city. This location is one of very easy aceess by strangers, inasmuch as it is within a stone's throw from tho Uity Hall. All inventors temporarily so jouruing iu the metropolis are invited to visit this establishment. In|t he majority of instance no model or drawing of an invention will be necessary on the iir?t interview, as a mere oral description by the visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such aknowleiige of his invention as will enable Messrs. Brown, Coombs &. Co. to definitely determine w hether a mac hi ne or process is new or old—paten - table or not. The office hours will be from 9a. m, to 5 r. M. Messrs. Brown, Coombs &Uo. are prepared to furnish to persons residing at a distance from New York—free of charge— written opinions as to whether inventions contain any features of ppton-. table novelty; to do thia they simply require a sketch or rough model of the machine or other in vention that is supposed to be Hew, together with a brief description of the same, and as soon as pos sible thereafter a letter of the best advice is mail ed to the person desiring the information. These opinions are formed from their own mature exper ience; but if an inventor desi res to know, positively, whetlier his incipient idea has ever been embodied in a machine or process already patented, Ji» wisest course will be to have a preliminary examination made at the United States Patent office by Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co., who will make a special search[amoug all lhe records of that institution, and then promptly forward a fol! and carefully written re;>ort as to the patentability of the invention un der examination. For this labor the small fee of $5 is ;«yab!e in advance; and tbe remittance should be accompanied by a sketch of the invention aud a few lines of writing describing the same, and distinctly stating those points of novelty which the inventor desires to have protected by tetters- Patent. Patents for new aud useful inventions are now granted for the term, of skvkntein tears. The firetinstalment oljthe Government lee is |ls, which sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp-tax on the power-of-attorney— is payable in advance, ou applying for tbe 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 tlie labor involved; bat in aft cases our charges will be as moderate aa possible.iu lhe pre mi ration of drawings and all necessary docutaents. This lea is not payable until after the application has been prepared and the case is ready to be sent to Washington. Messrs. BboWN. Coombs &. Co. have a ftranc&ia Washington so thataH applica lions made th rough them can have every neceesary attention iu their passage through the Patent Office. Inventors allying for patents must furnish moilils of their machines, whenever possible, for the inspection of the. Examiners in the Patent Office; but if the invention is a chemical compqsi tion, samples of all the ingredients will be neces sary. Each of these should he marked with the in ventor's name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by express, prepaid), together with the first instalnien of the Government fee, to Messrs B rOwn , Coom bs &. Co. When the model is small and light, it can be conveniently and cheaply sentby mad The model must not exceed one loot in any of itsdimens ions, unless His of such a character that itisim practicaMe. Patents, except' those for designs; areygranted ou equablerms to citizens aud all foreigners, except inhabitants of Canada and some others of the British American Provinces. Besides patents or new and usefu. inventions, there are also granted patents for desflhis. Design-patents are not now, as formerly, limited strictly to ornamental configuration ; but under Section 11 of the Act of March 2,1861, any new )orm of any article, oranj impressionotjigure open th? surface of any article or material, by whatever means or process produced, can be patented. Un der this Act, patentees are entitled to the exten sion es their res|>ecti ve patents for the term of seven years from tbe day on which said patents shall ex pire, npon the same terms and restrictions as are now provided for the extensions of Letters-Patent. Among tlie numerous subjects for patents of this class may be particularly mentioned—castings of all metals, parts of machines, household furniture aud utensils; glassware, hardware Os all kinds, cornices,and olherinterior and exterior decorations of buildings; also, designs for woVeUand printed fabrics, dress and upholstery trimmings, and har ness labels and trade marks for medicines, per fumery, mid all preparations, compositions, or tuerchandite, put up in boUlee, boxes, or other packages, are suitable subjects; plso, the forms of such bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, and envelopes, likewise all works of art, as stetnary, busts, compositions in alto or basso-relievo.Tbe Government fee on a design patent for 3} years is $10; 7 years, sls; 14 years, S3O. No models of ac.signs are required ;. but duplicate drawings or photographs must be furnished- Tha speeifß-atiou to accompany the drawings or photograms re quires to be prepared with great car*. Messrs Brown, Coombs St, Co. give very particuhir at teutiou to this branch of their business. Their charge for preparing applications for design patents is generally about |ls. Design patents qre only granted to American citizensor to aliens Who have resided one year in the United States and made oath of their intention to tacome citizens thereof. The facilities of Messrs. Brown., Coombs A- Co for obtaining patents in tbe various European constiies are equal if not sui>erior to those of any other in tlie United States. With regard to their qualitiimtioue for such business, it need only be stated that Mr. Brown, while with Messrs. Munn & Co. aud in bis previous practice, and since the establishment of the “AM XRtc an A rt isan Pat ent AuxNct,” has had the preparation of more E,aro p«wi applications than My other person In this country, Messrs Brown, Coombs A Go., besides having a branch oficein Wa4Hl«#t», havetheir own agencies in the principal capitals of Europe. A circular relating to foreign patent business will be furnlslied free on r lication personally or by mail.
