They are not a vile Fancy Drink, made of Poor Klim, X^’liiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Li ft u ors doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste, called “Tonics,” "Appetizers,” “Restorers,” Ac., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness andrnin, bnt are a true Wedicinc.mado from the Native Roots and Herbs of Cali fornia, free from nil Alcoholic Stimuinnts. They are the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno vator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off ail poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy con dition. No person can take these Bitters according to directions and remain long unveluprovided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. They are a Gentle Purgative ns well ns a Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs. FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in yonng or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at the turn of life, these Tonie Bitters have no equal. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheuma tism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil ious, Remittent nnd Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Blndder, these Bitters have been most successful. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood, winch is generally produced by derangement of the Di gestive Organs. DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache, l’aiu in the Shoulders.Coughs, Tightness of the Chest. Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of ihe Heart, lnliauimatiou of the Bungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the oflsprings of Dyspepsia. They invigorate the Stomach snd stimulate the torpid Liver and Bowels, which render them of unequalled effi cacy in cleansing the blood of all impurities, and impart ing new life and vigor to the whole system. -• FOR SK IN DISEASES, Eruptions. Tetter, Sal- Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car buncles, Ring-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Ileh.Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin. Humors and Bis. eases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literallT dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use ol these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince the most incredulous oftheir curative effects. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im purities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erup tions or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and tbe health of the system will follow. Piu, Taps, anil other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. Bays a distinguished physiologist, there is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth whose body is exempt from th .< presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that worms exist, but upon tbe diseased burners and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No System of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics, will free ihe system from worms like these Bitters. J. WALKER, Proprietor. R. H. MCDONALD A CO., D'-’ggists and Gon. Agents. San Francisco.

I; has been obserYed how dili gently and with whai ability The Age, tbrsotne lime pasl, has urged, ! wnai seems to us, the f.tu us policy of presenting a nomination ol a Dem*icraiie candidate, pur ct simple, al Baltimore. As among the ear liest friends, contributors and sup- poriets of this press, we hike uo exceptions to ibis course. But on behalf ol a large, respectable and influential body of disinterested Democrats, seeking no object but the restoration of the Federal ami State Governments to constitutional control, and the practice nf such j true economy in financial affairs as ! may render it possible to escape with honor and safety from the present labyrinth of difficulties and wrong and miseries with which the soi disant Republican parly has sur rounded and oppressed the country, we ask a limited space in which to address )our readers ou the other Stile*. The writer, and those for whom he speaks, fear no attack upon his or their orthodoxy. Having been of die strictest seel of the Jefferson- Jacksonian Democracy, they claim their privilege to be beard by those professing that faith as an inheri tance by birthright which has never been abjured, denied, or swerved from, under the most trying eircum- siances. Let us state the case. For ten long and dreary years we have “trod den the wine-press alone.” Drag ged al the wheels of a constantly defeated party*, whose misfortune, it is believed, have been owing entire- 13' to the utter want of judgment and disinterestedness, with which those in control of its action have (liiected it labors, we have suffered, and suffered on—under protest, it is true, hut ahrio-t uncomplainingly— such trials, insults and losses, inclu ding greatest of all, the loss of cor.% slitutional liberty, until forbearance seems no longer a virtue. The fac t that Judge Woodward was not permitted to take ihe Gub- eruaioriai chair, to which he was elected h} r a large majority, con vinced the writer of the impropriety of the Chicago nominations of 1&G4. We mean of any nomination at Chicago. When General McClellan was defeated by fraud and violence alone, so conspicuous and so bare faced that all candid men of fair perceptive faculties tnusi have been aware of it, there seemed to be of fered a conclusive argument in be half of this proposition. When, again—lor we shall confine ourselves to the politics of this State in this regard—Heister Clymer, the very Agamemnon of the young Democ racy, was by fraudulent returns cheated out of the post to which he had been chosen by the legal suf> t'rages of the State, there seemed to be some ground fir hope that wis dom would finally settle upon the Democratic head, and guide its judgment. But, no, it remained again to see this process renewed, and Judge Packer, a man so pure, so wise, so largely interested in the affairs ot the Slate, basely and bold ly defrauded of his election by a handful! of known conspirators |iu behalf of “Geary, the Gory.” What was known to most of us who^had the means of seeing behind the cur tain then, is now a matter of com mon knowledge to all. Democratic candidates were defeated, or with* held from taking possession of the posts to which they were chosen by ihe constitutional majority of the people, by violence or fraud, or both combined. There would not now be any difficulty of proving this in a court of justice, could a fair tribunal be had and a certain means obtained to compel the attendance •and testimony ot witnesses. What has happened so repeatedly in our own ciiy at our local elections, need but be referred to in elucidation of this case. This is the pivotal point of tbe grand machinery of fraud, as throughout the States of the South and the “Border States’’ 1 are the ob je< tive points of violence. As to the grotesque Federal nom ination of 1S6S, an»l the absurd platform on which they were placed, comment is unnecessary. They 7 were foredoomed to defeat while yet struggling from the womb. The same gang of desperadoes control the Republican party now as then. They are more desperate still. They are so near the possible end ol their race that the .defeated gibber of public infamy, or, possi bly, even physical punishment, looms fearfully before -the glaring eye-balls, and startles with horror the excited imagination. But they have the power still. To-day, as we are writing, they are driving an unconstitutional act through one branch of Congress, under color of \vhich they intend, by violence, to perpetuate their self-established des potism. Whatthey have done be fore, they will do pgain. They will prevent the installment in office of any Democratic Presidential candi date p»r ct simple. This may be re- gardedat present as a “fixed fact,” and we would stake our head on the result, if ahy good could thereby come to the country. But will th y not also prevent any candidate nominated by- tbe Liheiai Republicans ami Democracy l-om taking possession of the office to which tie may be chosen? No! Wb} ? Because they cou'il noi ! The*reasons why they could not an legion. Many of them, which wi 1 1 strike every well inibrtned, reflec tive mind, are too delicate in itieir naiUTe f ir public discussion. But the one sufficient one which can be staled is, that they could no longer rally to their support in such effort* the animosities find bad feeling left by civil war, nor the fears and tiin idity of the great mass of the capi tal of the country. Without these two aids they would be as they al ways would have been, powerless. But why should we elect the candi date of the Liberal Republicans? Because she represents and is pledged to a syllabus of principle, and measures exactly representing the Democratic faith, and filling to the lull, the measure of Democratic aspirations. No Democrat could better write our creed than it was written at Cincinnati. No one thing would be left for a Democrat to wish for, if the measures there re commended are carried into effect. We have constitutional government once more; hor.esl government once more; economical government once more. The crushing of military despotism ; the select ion of intelli gent and upright public functiona ries ; the restoration of a sound, con stitutional, hard money currency ; the abatement of grinding taxation; the preservation ol public .credit, and the pipificatjon of the now de moralized condition of popular ac tion. • But will the candidate, so nomi nated, exercise all his just powers, as President, if elected to effect this? Either he will, or he will not ! Now, if he shall do so, as a single, long-suffering Democrat, we shall be ready to say with good, old Anna: Lord, let now tny seivant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation!” And we think he will. The life, history and char acter of the man indicate it. Let any one point to a position that hs has ever voluntarily forsaken. The very vice of the man has been bis dogged obstinacy; his tie termined adherence to position once taken, however ridiculous, impracti cable, or absurd, as long as they were possibly tenable. He was op posed to the war. Driven into its support by a pressure which no man in his position could resist, he en deavored at every stage to have it closed; during all its varying events to abate its evils and miseries. He has ever been in favor of amnesty, persistently showing it by his acts and his words, and H will never be known to the world how much immi nent bloodshed, idle slaughter, ra pine; oppression and cruelly were averted from tbe country by the un aided labors of that one old man at the close of the war. He was al ways a hard money man. In sea son and out of season, he h»s been for gold and silver as the basis of currency. Alter constitutional gov ernment and civil liberty, what is there so dear to the heart ol the true Democrat as hard money? We think, therefore, he will, if elected, carry out the Cincinnati programme to the extent of his ability and pow er. And as he is of a somewhat pragmatic disposition, we think his ability and power as President wi l extend a gieat way ! But let us suppose that he may not carryout this programme. What then? ^Vhy, then we have the certain overthrow and ruin of ibis great Republican party. The corrupt organization which has been so long harassing, oppressing and beggaring the coun try and destroying the happiness of the people, will lie around as irre trievably wrecked as the walls ot the great commercial and manufac turing edifice riven in fragments by the consuming fire of last evening. That building may be reconstruct ted; the Republican party, never! The attraction of cohesion will all have disappeared from its joints and blocks and timbers. The “public plunder” removed and it will grav itate back into its molecular monads. No human hand could ever testore it, for, like the drunken crew of a sinking vessel, having robbed the store-rooms (which we shoulti ex pect) they vvoiihl perish by each Ollier’s hands, and let out the cor rupt blood, of ten years’ stagnation bv their own stilettos. ' Then we should have a clear field once more—a tabula rasa. Jn this clear field all honeAt patriots, of whatever class or name, could meet once more al our hunJreih anniver sary, in 1S76, to restore the founda tions ami re-erect the structure ol free government on constituii >nal p inciples. So now, then, fellow Democrats, ever anxious for the es tablishment of principles, ami care less of the fate ot men, let an old Democrat, having no other object in view than the good nf his country, Hp[*e.d to you t(t cast aside all the prejudices and just irritations of the pa;t, and seize the golden opportu nity of rescuing the measures and t lith of your party from its long en during midnight of bondage W. P. C. Philadelphia, May 30, 187:*. From the Westliche Post. Anybody bsfore Grant — An Article from Ecbnrz’s cvm Pen. A lew of our Liberal friends are not satisfied with Greeley’s nomina tion. We suspect the reasons and the motives of their discontent are based on the opinion that the Cin cinnati Convention did not do the very best it could. Granted, that it could have made a nomination more consistent with the s[ irit of the movement, and could have given the tefbrm measures satisfactory guaiantees. Grunted, that many objections may be uig* d against the Cincinnati nominees which shake the taiili of the conscientious retnrin- ei. But we now ask the honest, eon seientious reformer If) glance at the Other side of the picture. There is Grant in the full splendor of his re nomination, and behind him stand the b ead-and butter brigade in full force with saintly suba i'ssiveness and insatiable appetite. Gram 1ms promised us, in bis letter of accept ance, to continue the business of the Government w-.lh die same zeal and in the same manner as firmerlv, ami the bread and-butler brig ole re sponded with enthus nstic app'ause. We now beg the conscicu tons te- former to consider wiial the te elec tion of Grant and the continuance o! the present policy mean. They mean the application of a more op pressive military rule in the South, and not the policy of reconciliation. They mean the continued support of j the shameless carpet-bag govern-i mem. in the iormeily rebellious S'aies. They mean a continued eheiish- j ing of hatred and animosity between | the North and South. They mean acts of nepotism and i favoritism, which will operate with | a still more immoral influence upon ! the public service, if the people, by i the re-election of Grant, show that these are. matters of no concern to them. They mean a new bloom and crop of corruption, not alone in the Cus tom houses of New York and New Orleans, but in the whole country. They mean the resumption and then the carrying through of the San Domingo speculation, which Grant relinquished because he feared that it would damage his chances fir re- election. They mean a continuance of the outlandish foreign policy which has almost succeeded in making the name of the American Republic a by-word and reproach abroad, and has brought the. danger of trouble with foreign powers. They mean further despotic in terference of the President in the political affairs of the Slates, pack ing party conventions, and the bribe ry oi the delegates with Government patronage. They mean greater audacity than ever ol military ‘rings’ which have surrounded the President, arid have enabled him to use the substance for his own benefit. They mean that the people’s voice shall sanction and whitewash the President’s assumption of power. They mean the continued bond age of the Government officeholders, who even now do not dare to speak for fear ot losing their bread ami butter. They mean the complete servility of Congress to the President, the ap proval of all unlawful acts,the white washing of all corruption, and an unscrupulous and demoralizing par ty despotism, such as we have nev er yet seen, ami we have already seen much mo?e than we arc.able to bear. The re-election of Grant means all this, and indeed, in increased measure, for through the bare tact of his re-election the fear of displeas ing the people will prevail, and a loose rein will be given to the arbi trary rule of the White House. All these things will as emtainl)' fo low the re-election of Grant as thunder follows lightning. These are things which the true reformer should not lose sight of for a moment. While we sympathise with his dissatish ction with the Cin cinnati nominations, and his desire to correct the error in the best pos sible manner, yet this dissatisfaction and this wish should be kept within lue bounds, and we find these lim es to be anything but the re election of Grant, fn the name of the com mon welfare, the honor and the free dom of the American people, any body before Grant. The Bui o rd Tongue.—It is the cusiti it in Africa for hunters, when the y have killed a poi-oiums snake, • o cut off its head and chp luliy bury t d< ep in the ground. A naked foot stepping on one of these fangs would lie fitully wounded. Ttie poison would spread m a very short nine all through the system. This venom la.-ts a long lime, and is as deadly after the snake is dead as bf f re. The Red Indians used to dip the points of their arrows in this poison, so, it they made the least woin il, their vie itns would be sure to die. The snake’s |>oison is in its teeth; but there is something quite as dangerous, and much more com mon in comm unities, which las its poison on its tongue. Indeed, ynur chances of escape fro to a serjicut are g;e t r. Tbe worst snakes usually glide away in tear at the approach of man, unless disturbed or attack ed. But t h.s cre.iluie whose poison iuiks in its tongue, attacks without provocation, and tads up its victim with untiring perseverance. We will it’ll you his name, so you will always shun him. He is called .Slanderer. He poise ns worse than <f serpent. Oden his venom strikes to life liie of a whole family or neigh- built >o(i, destroying ail peace and confidence.

Woman’s Equality.—The fair sex are a queer set; we gave them up ever since, when we weie six years old, our bewitching blue-eyed Mary Jane, who had piighled her eternal troth to us, jilted us fora fel low who was twice as big as we were—so safe from our revengt— because he had a new top. Now, Mary Jane could not spin a top— spinning lops is not in the tetnale line ; it is not a privilege of the sex ; on the other hand, it is one ot the forbidden delights. We never knew a girl who could fasten the twine around a top, much less send it down humming upon the boards on its iron peg, as tbe superior sex learns so readily to do. Our fairv Mary could look on while that luboerly Tom performed this feat; but so could the rest of us, and she was no better off than it she bad been tru to her first love. She never tried to spin the top, for aught we know, but used to f »llow the possessor about as i hough she shared some of the grand eur of such a [Kissession. We gave the sex up from that time to this, as a conundrum too complicated lor us to solve. If Mary Jane had been presented with a new doll, we should nut have stiiven to learn how to nurse the sham baby ; nor, if anoth er had been so favored, should we have dreamed of changing our alle giance.
