Fifth Congressional District Union Republican Convention.—The Republican voters of the Fifth Congressional District are hereby notified to select delegates in the several counties of the district, to meet in Convention at Augusta the 10th day of September, at 10 o’clock a. m., for Hie pur pose of nominating a candidate for Congress, each county being entitled to a number of delegates equal to twice the number of members to which such county is entitled in the Lower House of the General As sembly.

The National Republican party of the United States, assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi cago, on the SOth day of May, 1868, make the following Declaration of Principles : Ist. We congratulate the country ou 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 those institutions, and to prevefai 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 hi 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 tbe people of those. States. 3d. We denounce all fotms of repudiation as a na tional crime, and the national honor requires the pay ment o£ the public indebtedness, in the utmost good faith, to all creditors, at home and abroad, not only according to the but the spirit of the laws under which it was contracted. 4th. It Is due to the labor of the nation that taxation shonld be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the na tional faith will permit. sth. The national debt, contracted, as it has been, for tbe preservation of the Union for all .time to come, should be extended over a fair period for redemption, and His tlie duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in terest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done. 6th. That the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so Imiprovc our credit that capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower rates of interest than we now pay, and must continue tb pay, so long as repudiation, partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus pected. Z*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/or radical re form. Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely ana tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, aud regret the accession of Andrew .Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted treacherously to the people who elected Lun and tbe cause he was pledged to support; has usurped high legislative and judicial fupetions; 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 tlie citizen; has abused the pardoning power; hag denounced the National Legisla ture as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper attempt nt the reconstruction of the States lately in re bellion ; has perverted the public patronage into an engine of wholesale corruption; and has been justly impeached for high crimes 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, he 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 and independence. Naturalized citizens are enti tled to be protected in all their rights of citizenship as though they were natural, horn, and no citizen of the United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to urrest 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. 10th. Os all who were faithful in the trials of the late war, there were none entitled to more especial honor ibaa the brave soldiers and seamen, who endured the hardships of the campaign and cruise, and imperilled their lives in the service of tbe country. The bounties and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders of the nation are obiiagtions never to be forgotten. The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation’s protecting care., - / lliii- Kuiciuu In the pnst has added so much to the wealth, development-of resources, and increase of power of this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encour aged by a liberal and juat policy. 12th. This Convention declares its ajinpathy with all the opprwsed people which are struggling for their rights. TN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE J United States for the Soul hern District of Georgia.

Missionary in China, now visiting his home in Pennsylvania: Washington, Pa., Juue25,1866. Messrs. Perry Davis & 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 sotforge, the Cholera. In administering the medicine, I found it most effectual to give a teaspoonfnl of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then, after about fifteen minutes, begin to give :i 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. Os those who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith fully in the way stated above, eight out of ten recovered. Yours, truly, R TELFORD. If an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or Cramp Colic, don’t delay tile use of the Pain Killer. Sold by all ibedicine dealers. Price, 25 cents, 50 cents, and fl ;wr bottle. Manhattan, Kansas, April 17,1866. Gentlemen— ** ' want to say a little more about the Pain Killer. I consider it a very valuable medicine, and always keep it oil hand. I have t ravelled a good deal since 1 have been in Kansas, and never without taking it with me. In my practice I used it freely for the Asiatic Cholera, in 1849, and with better success than any other medicine; I also used it here for cholera in 1855, with the same gop-d result. Truly, yours, ; A. HUNTING, M. D. 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 lbs Pain Killer, sent. recently from the Mission House, has been used with considerable suceees during this epidemic. If taken in season is generally effectual in check ing the disease. Rev. CHARLES HARDINIG, Sholapore, India. [From the Portland Monthly.] Summer Complaint and Dysentery. Bowel complaints seem just now to be the prevailing element, ami any medicine that is everywhere acceptable, and that is reliable, is a very desirable acquisition. From what we ha ve seeu, heard, and experienced, we believe Davis' Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the best method of using it, we quote from the directions: “For common bowel complaints, give one tea spooulul in a £ill of new milk and molasses, in equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the dose for children, according to the age. If the pain be 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 quickest way 1 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 with medicine. Let the dose be lejieated every hour nntil 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 sickness would I jel2-—2m Special Notice. ; Jr ” > 1 h iM HBb 2 ’ 2 I Ifli-■ : I I' M t1 S 2 as it 1 s > W- w ? ® ? oi* * 3 b- a s« I I - 1 Spectacles Rendered Useless. rHhf MOST EMINENT PHYSICIANS Oculists and Divines recommend the nse of the CORNEA RESTORERS for Presbyopia or Far or Long Sightedness, or every person who wears spectacles from old age ; Dimness of Vision or Blurring; Ovcrworitedeyes; Aslheno pißor Weak Eyes; Epiphora, or Waieiy Eyes; Pain in the Kye-ball; Amaurosis, or Obscurity of Vision; Photophobia, or Intolerance of Light; Weakness of the Retina and Optic Nerve; Myodesophia, or Spocks of Moving Bodies before the eyes; Ophthalmia, or Inflam mation of the Eye and Eyelids, and Imperfect Vision from the effect of Inflammation, etc.; Cataract Eyes; Hemiopia, or Partial Blind ness ; and many other Diseases of the Eye.

HARPER- I NO 345 The American Artisan I UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN PATENT AGENCY. . - Messrs. BROWN, COOMBB & CO., Proprie tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their beet services to inventors, as Solicitors of Ameri can and Foreign Patents. Mr. Hxnav T. Hitows, of this firm, has had more than twenty-two years' experience in that prefession. both In this country and Europe; for fifteen years he was the principal professional assistant of Messrs. Munn & Co., Patent Agents of this city; and bis long practice has made him personally known to thousands of in ventors and patentees. Tbe applicatioos for the patents upon many of the greater aud more im portant inventions o I the present century have been prepared by bitn. Messrs. Bbown, Coombs & Co., are thoroughly familiar with all the rules and re gulations instituted for the rapid transaction of business with the United States Patent Offidb, and the general practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari ous European countries; and this knowledge ren ders them confident that their post experience .with their present unequaled facilities, enables them to elaborately and yet speedily prepare all tho docu ments required by law in applications for patents, and to promise their clients an absolute verlainly ’ofsuceestin theitjefforta to/ibtaiaJ.etterePatent for inventions that ate really new and nseful. 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 draughtsmen. The best evidence of the manner in which Messrs. Bbown, CooMbs & Co.’s business is performed,is, that the “Amer ican Artisan Patent Agenct,” during tlie three years of its existence, has been the most successful institution of the kind ever established. The-principal offices of Messrs. Brown. Coombs &. Co. are situated at 189 Broadway,opposite John street, New York, in the most ceutral part of the city. This location is one of very easy access by strangers, inasmuch as it is within a stone’s throw from the City Hail. All inventors temporal ily so morning in the metropolis are invited to visit this establishment. Injthe majority of instance no model or drawing of an invention will bo necessary on the first interview, as a mere oral description by the visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such akuowledge of his invention as will enable Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co. to definitely determine whether a machine or process is new or old —paten- table or not. Tbe office hours willlre frem 9 a.m. to 5 p. m. • Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co. are prepared to furnish to persons residing at a distance froifi New- York—free of charge—wn'ften opinions as to whether inventions contain any features of paten table novelty; to do thia they simply require a sketch or rough model of tho machine or other in vention that is supposed to be new, together with , a brief description of the same, and as soo» as pos sible thereafter a letter of the beet adviee is mail ed to the person desiring the information. These opinions are formed from their own mature oxper iencejbut if an inventor desires to know, positively, wliether his incipieut idea has ever been embodied in a machine or process already patented, his 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 searclqamong ail the records ofithat institution, and then promptly forward a full and carefully written report as to the patentability of tho invention un der examination. For this labor the small fee of $o is payable in advance; aud the remittance should be accompanied by a sketch of the invention and a few lines of writing describing the same, and distinctly slating those points of novelty which t,lie iuveutor desires to have protected by Letters -Patent , Pateute for new and useful inventions are now granted for tlie term of seventeen tears. The first instalment otj.be Government lee Is sls. which sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp tax on the power-ofattomey—is payable »» advance, on applying for the patent; aud $-*0 additional are due to tlie Goverumeut when the Letters Patent are allowed. The Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac ‘ cording to th<f labor involved; but in all cases our charges will be as moderate as possible in the pre paration of drawings aud all necessary documents. This fee is not payable nntil after the-application has been prepared and the ease is ready to be sent to Washington. Messrs. Brown. Coombs & Co. have a branchin Washington so that all applicu tious made through them can have every necessary attention iu their passage through the Patent Office Inventors applying for patents must furnish models of their machines, whenever possible, for the inspection of the Examiners iu the Patent Office; but if the invention is a chemical com;iosi tion, samples of all the 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 the first instalmen ' ofthe Government fee, to Messrs Brown, Coombs . & Co. When the model is small and light, it can be conveniently and cheaply sentby mail The model must not exceed one foot in any of its dimens ions, unless it is of such a character that it is im practicable. Patents, except those for designs, are granted on equaldertns to citizens and all foreigners, except inhabitants of Canada and seme others of the British American Provinces. Besides patents or new and useful inventions’, there are also granted patents for designs. 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 formofaay article, or any impression ovfisjnre. npon the surface of any article or material, by whatever menus or process produced, can be patented. Uu der this Act, patentees are entitled t» the exten sion of their respective patents for the term of seven years from the day on which said patents shall ex pire, upon the same terms aud restrictions aa are now provided for the extensions otLetters-Patent. Among the numerous subjects for patents of th is class may be particularly mentioned—castings of all metals, parts of machines, household furniture and utensils; glassware, hardware of all kinds, cornices, and other interior and exterior decorat ion. of buildings; also, designs for woven aud printed fabrics, dress and upholstery trimmings, aud har ness labels and trade marks for medicines, per fumery, and all preparations, compositions, or mercliaudice, put up in bottles, boxes, Or other packages, are suitable subjects; also, tire forms of such bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, and, envelopes, likewise all works of art, as statuary, busts, compositions in alto or basso-relievo. The Government fee o« a design-patent for 3| years is $10; 7 years, sls; 14 years, S3O. No models of designs are required; but duplicate drawings or photographs must be furnished- The specification to accompany, the drawings or photographs re quires to ire prepared with great care. Messrs dko«S,UvvMss & Cc. give very particular et tentiou to this branch of their business. Their charge for preparing applications for design-patents is generally about slo. Desigu patents are only granted to American citizensor to aliens who have resided one year in tbe United States and made oath of their intention to lieconie citizens thereof. The facilities of Messrs. Bn own, Coombs & Co for obtaining patents in the various European countries are equal if not superior to those of any other in the United States. With regard to their qualifications for sneli business, it need only be stated that Mr. Brown, while with Messrs. Munn & Co. and in bis previous practice, and since tho estublishmentof the “American Artisan Patxnt Agency,” has had the preparation ofmore Enro peau applications than any other person in thia country. Messrs. Brown, Coombs A Co., besides having a branch office in Washington, have their own agencies in ihe priuoipnl capitate of Europe. A circular relating to foreign latent businoss will be furuished free on r licalion personally or By mail. _ „ ... Messis.
