REPUBLICAN PI.ATEORM.
The National Republican party of the United States,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 29th day of Stay, 1868, make the following
Ueclafation of Principles :
Ist. We congratulate the country on the assured suc
cess of tlie 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 those institutions, nnd 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 in the South was demanded by every coa
sideration of public safety, of gratitude and of justice,
and must be maintained, while the question of sunrage
In all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of
those States.
3d. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a na
tional crime, nnd the national honor requires the pay
ment of the public indebtedness, in the utmost good
faith, to all creditors, at home and abroad, not onlj
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 bo equalized and reduced as rapidly as the na
tional faith will permit.
sth. The national debt, crAitracted, as it has been, ler
the preservation of tbe Union for all time to come,
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 can honestly be done.
iith. That die best policy to diminish our burden of
debt is to so Improve qur credit that capitafirtß will seek
to loan ;>s money at lower rates of interest than we now
pay, aud must continue to pay, so long as repudiation,
partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus
pected.
7th. The Government of the United States should be
' administered with the strictest economy, aud the cor
ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly forTZdkal re
form. • .
Sth. We profoundly deplore 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 to 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 tho citizen; has abused the
pardoning power; has denounced the National Legisla
ture as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly
resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper
attempt at the of the States lately in re
bellion; has public patronage into an
engine of wholesale corruption; and has been justly
impeached tor high crime* and misdemeanors, and
properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of
thirty-five Senators.
9th. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European
powers, that because a man is once a subject, tie is
always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the
United States, as a relic of the feudal time, not author
ized by the law of nations, and at war with our national
honor aud independence. Naturalized citizens are enti
tled to be protected in all their rights of citizenship as
though they were natural bom, and no citizen of the
United States, native or naturalized, must bo liable to
arrest and imprisonmonl, by any foreign power, for ac,ts
done, or words spoken, in this country, and if so arrested
and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to
Interfere in hi* behalf.
10th. Os all who were faithful tn the trials of the late
war, there were none entitled to more especial honor
than tlie brave soldiers and seamer., 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 for these brave defenders
of tbt nation are obliagtions never to be forgotten. The
widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of
tbe people, a sacred legacy liequeathed to th* nSion’s
protecting care.
11th. Foreign immigration, which in the past ha*
added so much to the wealth, development es roeource.s,
and Increase of power of this nation, the asylum of tlie
oppressed of ;dl nations, should be festered and encour
aged by » liberal and just policy.
12th.' This Convention declares its sympathy with all
tlie people which are strugg!%g for their

MEDICINAL.
Asiatic Cholera in China,
ALMOST EVERY CASE
CURED WITH
PAIN KILLER.
Read the following letter from
Rev. R. Telford. Missionary iu China, now
visiting his home In Pennsylvania:
Washington, Pa., Jun 025,1866.
Messrs. Perry Davisdb Hou, Providence,R. I.:
Dear Sirs—During a resilience of some tee
years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found
your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable
remedy for that fearful soonrge, the Cholera.
In administering the medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a teaspoOnful of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot water Sweeten'd with sugar; tlien,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
spoonfnl of 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. Os those
who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight out of ten
reeoverad. Yonrs, truly,
K TELFORD.
If an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don't delay the use of the Pain
Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers. Price, 25
cents, 59 cents, and SI per bottle,
.Manhattan, Kansas, April 17,1866.
G'enltemen— * * ” I want to say a little
more about the Pain Killer. I consider it a very
valuable medicine, aud always keep it on haml
I have travelled a good deal since I nave been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with mo>
In my practice I used it freely for the Aeiatis
Cholera, in 1819, and with better success than any
other medicine; 1 also used it here for cholera in
1855, with the same goad result.
IrTtly, yonrs, A. HUNTING, M. I).
Swato, China.
Cholera ’ * * * I regret to say that the
cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearful
extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to
fifty or sixty fatal cases each day has been re
ported. I should add that the Pain Killer, sent
recently from the Mission House, has been used
with considerable success during this epidemic.
If taken In Season is generally effectual in eheck,
ing tlio disease.
Revi CHARLES IIARDINIG, [
Bholapore, India.
[From the Portland Monthly.!
Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complahrte seem just now to be tho
prevailing element, and any medicine that i|
everywhere acceptable, and that is reliable, is a
very desirable acquisition. From what wehavo
seen, heard, and experienced, we believe Davis'
Pain Killer is thia desideratum. For tho best
method of using it, we quote from the directions:
“For common bowel complaints, give one tea
spoonful in a gill of new milk and molasses, iu
equal parts, sth-red well together; lessen the does
tor children, according to the age. If the pain ba
severe, bathe the bowels and back with the medi
cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of
the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re
peat the dose every hour.
“The quietest way I ever saw the dysentery
cured was by taking one spoonful of the Paid
Killer in one' gill of milk and nwlasoes stirred
well together and drank hot, at f!ie same time
bathiug the bowels freely with medicine. Let
the dose be repeated every hour until the patient
is relieved.”
If every person who has reason to fear this
disease would provide themselves with a bottle
of this medicine, and use as occasion required, we
believe a great amount of suffering and sicknesq
would he saved. iel2 —2m

” ; STATES AND FOREIGN
PATENT AGENCY.
Messrs. BROWN, COOMBS A. CO., Proprie
tors of die AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their
best services to iasentort, as Solicitors of Ameri
can and Foreign Patents. Mr. Henry T. BhoWn,
of this firm, has had more than twenly-lwo years’
experience in that profession, both in this country
and Europe; for fifteen years principal
professional M»i»taut of Messrs. Mun a & Co.,
Patent Agent* of this city; and his long practice
lies made him personally known to thousands of in
ventors and patentees. The applications for the
patents upon many of tho greater and more im
portant inventions of the present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Coombs A; Co.,
ara thoroturhlv familiar with all the rules and re
gulations instituted for the rapid tiansartioi* .of
business with the United States Patent Office, and
the general practice in the Patent Bureau* of vari
ous European countries; and this knowledgeren
ders them confident tliat their post experience, with
their present uneq naled facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet speedily prepare all the docu
ments required by iaw in applications for qnteufe,
and to promise their clients an absolute certainly
oftuccessin. theirjefforts for
inventions that Me realjy new and useful Parti
cular care is given to the execution of the accurate
drawings which must always accompany every
application for a patent, aud they employ none but
the most efficient draughtsmen. The best evidence
of the manner iu which Messrs. Bkown, Coombs
& Co.’s business is performed, is, that the "Amur
ican Artisan Patkmt Agency,” during the three •
years of its existence, hat been the most successful
insMuiiou of Ike kind ever sstablisked.
Tlis principal offices of Messrs. Brown. Coombs
& Co. are situated at 18’J 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 with to a stone's throw
from the City Hall. All inventors temporarily so
journing in the metropolis are invited to visit this
establishment. Injtheinejorfty of instance no model
or drawing of an invention willbe necessary on
the first interview, as a mere oral description by
the visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such
akuowledge of bis invention as will enable Merefe.
Bkown, Coombs &. Co. to definitely detenuioe
whethera machine or process is new or old—paten
table or not. Tbe office hoars will lie from ft A. m .
to 5 r. m.
Messrs. Brown, Coombs &■ Co, are prepared to
furnish to persons residing at a <Estance from New
York—free of charge— written ofnnions as <4o
whether taventiOnscoutain any leatnresof paten
table, novelty; to do thia«lbey aimfoy require a
sketch or rough model of the machine or other in
vention that is supposed to be new, together wilTi
a brief description of the same, and as soon Us skis
si bio thereafter a letter of the best advice, is mail
ed to the person desiring the information. These
opinions arc formed from their own mature exper
fence; but ff an inventor desiresto know, positively,
whether hia incipient uioa ba* ever been embodied
toa nmcluuo or process already patented, liis wisest
course will be to have a preliminary examination
made at the United States Patent office by Mosers.
Bkown, Coombs &. Co., who will make a special
starclijamong all tire rewrite °I li l at institution, aud
then promptly forward a full and careftilly written
report as to tire patentability of the invention un -
der examination. For this labor the.small fee of
*5 i* payable u advance; aud- tbe lemittauce
should be accompanied by a sketch of tho hiveiitioii
and a few lines of writing describing the same,
and distinctly stating those points of novelty which
the inventor desires to have protected by Letters-
Pateut
Patents for new and useful inventions are now
Branted8 ranted for the term ofsKVKNTKxa years. The
rstinstalment ofibe Government lee is sls, which
sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp tax
outlie power-ofaitorney—is payable «» advance,
on applying for the patent; and S2O additional are
due to the Government when the Lettors-Patentare
allowed. The Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac
cording to the labor involved; but in all cases our
charges will be as moderate as possible in the pre
paration of drawings aud all necessary documenta.
This fee is not payable until after the application
has been prepared and the case is readv to be sent
to Washington. Messrs. Brown, Coombs &• Co.
have a 6rai«A in Washington so that ah applica
tions made through them can have every necessary
attention in their passage th rough tbe Patent Office
Inventors applying for patents must furnish
models of their machine*, whenever possible, for
the iuspeetian of tlffi Examiners in tbe Patent
Office; but if tho invflition is a chemical composi
tion, samples of all the ingredients will be neces
sary. Each of these should be marked with the fo
ventor's name, then carefblly boxed, and sent (by
ex press, prepaid) ,togetherwiththefirstinstalmeii
ofthe Government fee, to Messrs BroWn , Coom ns
&. Co. When tile model is small and fight, it can
be conveniently and cheaply sentby mail The
model must not exceed one foot iu any ofits diniejus
ions, unless it is of such a character that itisim
practicable.
Patents, except those for designs, are granted
ou equaldnrms to citizens und all foreigners, except
inhabitants of Canada aud sonic others of (tie
British American Provinces.
Besides pateute or new and tuefui inventions,
there are also granted patents for designs.
Design-I>atenta are not now, as formerly, limited
strictly to ornamental configuration ; but under
Section 11 of the Act of March 2,1861, uuy new
jormofnuy article,orany impression orjigure upon
the surface of any article or material, by whatever
menus or process produced, can bo pHteeted. Un -
der this Act. patentees are entitled to the exten
sion of their respective patents for the terra of seven
years from the day oh which said patents shall ex
pire, ftpon Hie same terms and restrictions as are
now provided for tlie extensions of Letters-Patent.
Among the numerous subjects foi patent* of (Ms
class may be particularly mentioned—eastings of
all metals, parts of machines, household (mnitpre
and utensils; glassware, hardware of all kinds,
corniees, aud other tuterior and exterior decoration
of buildings; also, designs for woven and printed
fabrics, drees a:id upholstery trimmings, and liar
new labels and trade-marks for medicines, per
fumery, and all preparations, compositions, or
mercluuuli.-e, put up in hollies, boxes, or other
packages, are suitable subjects; also, the forms of
snch bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, ami
envelopes, likewise nil works of art, as statuary,
busts, compositions in alto or basso-relievo. The
Government fee on a design-patent for 3 j years is
$10; 7 years, sls; 14 years, $36. No models of
designs are required; but duplicate drawing*or
photograph* must be furnished- Tbe specification
to accompany (he drawings or photograph* re
quires to be prepared with great care. Messrs
Brown, Coombs & Co. give very particular at
tention to this branch of their business. Their
charge for preparing applications for design-patents
is generally about sls. Design patents are only
granted to American citizensor to aliens who have
resided one year in the United States aiid made
oath of their intention to becoma citizens tlwreof.
'Hie facilities of Messrs. Bsown, Coombs &. Co
for obtaining patents in tho variohe European
countries are eqnafifnot superior to those of any
other in tbe United States.' With regard to their
qualifications for sneh busiuens, it need only, be
stated that Mr. Brown, while with Messis Mvi»
& Co. and in bis previous practicp, aud since the
estabtishmentof the“AMiniCAN AktisaXPatent
Agency,” has had the preparation of more Kuro
pean applications than any othei person in this
country, Messrs. Bkow< Coombs At Co., besides
having a branch ojhce in Washington, have their
own agencies in tlie principal capitals of Europe.
A circular relating to foreig" patent business vritl
be furnished free on » licalion personally er by
