<l n ors doctored, spietd and sweetened to plcnsc the taste,
called “Tonic*/' “Appetizers." ‘‘Restorers/' Ac., that
lead the tipplor on to drnnkennoss and ruin, but are n true
Medicine,made from the Kativo Rootsand Herbs of Cali
fornia, free from nil Alcoholic Ktimulants.
They are the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and
A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno
vator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off all
poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy con
dition. No person can take these Bitters according .to
directions and remain long unwell,provided their bones
are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and tlio vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair.
They are a Gentle Purgative as well as 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 Tonic Bitters have no equal.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheuma
tism aiul Goat, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil
ious, Remittent aud Intermittent 'Fevers,
Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and
Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful.
Much Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood,
which is generally produced by derangement of tho Di
gestive Organs.
DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache.
Pain in the Shoulden.Coughf:. Tightness of the Chest
Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth. Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of tho lleart.
Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in tho regions of the
Ridneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, arc thi
oftspriugs of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate tho Stomach and stimulate the torpid
Liver and Bowels, which render them of unoqualled effi
cacy ia cleansing the blood of all impurities, and impart
ing new life and vigor to the whole system.
FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions. Tetter, Sal
Rheum, Blctebes, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Bolls, Car
buncles, Ring-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas,
Itch. Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Dis.
•axes of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally
dug up and carried out of the system ia a short time by
the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will
convince the most incredulous of their curative effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im
purities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erup
tions or Sores; cleanse il when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; eloanse it when it is foul, and
your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure,
and the health of the system will follow.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the
system of so many thousands, aro effectually destroyed
and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there
is scarcely an individual upon tke face of the earth
whose body Is exempt from tho presence of worms. It
is not upon the healthy elements of the body that
vorni exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy
deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No
System of Medicine, no vermifuge*, no anthelmintics,
will free the system from worms like these Bitters.

cie of liberalism, at tiiM), i. lining
good work (or the I’resuh-ni, eon
tains a seared editorial, pointing o it
in sugar-and water accents that the
proposed conference of Li hem's is
not designed to divide the Radicals
but to unite thent. The view ot the
case might have some fbnnda'iou if
j there were two sides to the basis of
j union surmised by the I’o.-t. !> it
| there are not two sides to it. With
tlie Radicals it is Gram and Grant
ism. or nothing, and the Liberals ev
ery where are iireeon ifibly commit
ted ngiitisl both.
Mr. fjmnarr wdl preside, at Cin
cinnati. Mr.Greef y and Mr. Bowles,
the two most poweiful jmrnilists i .
the Republican party wdl be there.
Not less Ilian eight K“puhlicun .Sen
ators, inc'iidinti Mr. Trumbull and
Mi. Scbtirz, are devoted to the move
ment. Asc >re of Republican m in
bers of the lower house of Congress,
including Mr. Dawes and G-m. (Jar
field, and perhaps the S[ e iker him
self, who is one of the ~blest, most
mliuentia! and popu ar men in N.-u
England, are ready to act. Their
is in. long, r any Republican paitv.
There are Liberal* and Radio ds;
and, il the Conven.ion he a failure,
it will not be on account of the De
mocracy, who desire to make all the
concessions that m .y be needful to
secure a combination of liberal and
conservative dements ugiii st Grant,
but because the leaders ol the Cin
•innati de rauisi ration themselves
tack the organizing dash and ag
gressive spirit which a great reform
atory movement requires.
11 the rose tiuti and suggestions ol
the New York Evening Post, which
may be regardt il ns a perfectly reli
tble Grant nrgm , are considered,
the Cincinnati Convention will not
be a succe s, and wj may b • sure
that as i is a mass convention, there
will he plenty of Administration men
dirre to throw in opportune fire
brands and take the direction out of
j the hands of those who really mean
reunion and reform in the sense ol
the Missouri icsoiulions. But if the
L berals who have abandoned the
fortunes of Grant, and have cut loose
from Radicalism forever, arc practi
cal and bold, they will net vigorous
ly, trusting the Democratic party,
which can he relied on not to throw
itself across the pathway of a bouu
fulc union ol the opposition.
The Democratic party, as an or
ganization, is not going to play tin
fool or the traitor either to itself or
the Liberals. Wc lay down plainly
and broadly its position, anil we
know that wc speak lor the masses
of the Southern people and for the
leaders ol the party everywhere.
If the Cincinnati Convention is a suc
cess—if it puts an acceptable ticket
in the field—if the great Republican
Journals support that ticket—then
the Democratic parly will not stand
in its way. With endorsing—with
out being responsible for the Cincin
nati movement of nominees, without
defending them or their antecedents,
it will, in the absence of a (air chance
for ilsell, choose between the Liber
al candidates and the Radical can
di latis It will preserve its own
organization in the several Stales. It
will put its nominees in the field for
Governors, Congressmen and Legis
lators. It will not embarrass the
Liberals by a coalition, nor compro
mise itself by a passivism which may
be regarded as the first step toward
dissolution. But it will hope by the
dcieat of Grant, and by the division
of the present Senate, and by the
electionjjof the next House of Rep
resentatives, to so enlarge and chas
ten all the elements of the opposi
tion so as to open the new’ adminis
tration with a fresh set ol books, to
which justice and law are the lilies,
and to reorganize the Government
upon constitutional principles which
can claim the allegiance ol every pa
triot.
The trouble the Reformers will
have to meel and overcome will not
proceed born the Democracy, but
born Grant men disguised as Dem
ocrats and as Liberals. The Ad
ministration has money to spend in
buying up a lew impracticables to
make a row in the Democratic camp,
and of course it has many paid agents
who yvdl confess to he Liber ds in
order to betray the Liberal move
ment at the right moment. Indeed,
so great an interest has Grant in di
viding, or in seeming to divide, the
Democracy, that, with the enormous
public plunder at h.s disposal, lie
cobid afford to defray the expenses
of putting an ultra-Democratic ticket
in the field.
Wedo not believe that any Demo
crats ot respectability or standing
can be found impracticable enough

no matter how they ddVor on minor
points and details, arc of one min I
in this, that the party him sii k ;<>
gether, keep its eotms I, and act f>r
the best after we have seen what iln-
Cincinnati Convention comes to. It
that convention is a success—this
we repeat unequivocally—fit puts
an acceptable ticket in ’.lie ii Id—it
the great Republican organs named
support that ticket—then that ticket
is going to beat Gem Grant, and it
would be, and will hr considered,
sheer madness in us to g.-t in its
way. It is believed at Washington
by the most in'elligent Democrats
that we cannot get a fair election in
the face of the Radical military elec
tion machinery handled by the I’res
idem, who is bound to ic elect him
self if force and fraud will do it. I
is believed that, if we could get be
yond the iron-clad b dim-box and
the troops that will surround it, we
shad not be able to gel a fair count
ol tie- vote from the present Radical
House of Representatives. 8ti!l fur
ther, it is believed that the election
of an out-and-out Democrat would
prove a second Andy Johnson abor
tion, since he would have a Radical
Senate opposed to him, to pass an
another tenure-of-olfice law and sit
in judgment on all his acts aud ap
pointments. But a break-up of the
oligarchy at Washington—:i divis
ion of the old Republican party into
Liberals and Radicals—the election
of a Democratic House of Repre
sentatives, with a Liberal P.esidcnl
whose friends in the Senate, aided
by the Democrats, would o n 'dime
a majority—these things are possi
ble. and by their aid the great re.-u!l
so long sought by goo I men—re
union and reform—would be r< ach
ed. On the other hand, if Grunt
gels lour years more lease of power,
we may hid good-bye, not only to
the hope of reunion and n form, but
to free elections. Next time it will
be a mere dumb show of an elec
tion, and alter that a plebisi in-. It is
almost a dumb show now, vh-n a
great party, like the Democratic,
sees in front of it a b dlot-box hedged
about by bayonets and m ird.il law,
and an electoral machinci v so iron
coated as to be irresistible from with
out, and oolv assailable through the
agency (if internal combustion. To
this complexion lias it come at last
in this country, and a stronger argu
ment cannot be ottered in support of
the plea which everywhere swells
up from.the good men and true for
a union of all the elements that can
be brought to bear upon the forces
of usurpation and corrupli n.
The Liberals need two or three
leaders as bold and sagacious as
Scliurz. The Democratic party is
not the lion across their path. Their
stumbling block will be party spirit.
If they expect patty spirit to vanish
they must set the example them
selves. We believe they can salely
do this. If they will take the bull
by the horns ana wrestle with him,
it will not be long before they find
help enough at hand.
University of Georgia.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
Please indulge me in a few com
ments on a passage or two from the
interesting address of Hon; Jas. A.
Nisbet, published in your paper ot
the 22d inst. Those who were
present at the meeting, at which
the address was delivered, will not
ask an apology from one —not an
Alumnu3 of the University of Geor
gia—for commenting on the address.
If others not aware of all that trans
pired on the occasion, demand one,
let my relation to the subject of ed
ucation in Georgia, and my inter
est in every scheme that can pro
mote it, be my apology.
From the address in question,* I
quote a passage:
“The trustees of the University
have resting on the.n the gravest
responsibilities; the demon of politi
cal strife should he forever exorcis
ed by their counsels; the dark wing
of sectarian bigotry should never
shed its pestilential blight over their
action. Let us hear Horn them no
more the oft-repeated cry, ‘down
with denominational colleges. ’
These denominational seminaries are
doing much good—they a e educa
ting young men, who, but for them,
would never be educated; they are
elevating the tone and liberalizing
the views ot the great sects. The
lernalc institutions, in a marked de
gree, arc the pride and glory of the
South, and are annually turning out
mothers of Gracchi. So, instead of
[warring on them, let the heathe.
j prohibition in our State Con-tut;- m
|be sltiekcn out and let I* •gislaiure..
and people (osier ami chciisb the.-u
valuable institutions. Let litem be
j colleges; and the University be a
i University inde-d, whec every
art and all the applie 1 scienm-s arc
taught, and thus we wdl lime a sys
tem planetary and (Ihd.goo . ’
A little forth o on me eloquent
speaker says: “Dir University, a
well as our colleges, ar<- nurseries of
children rather th in of men. Pin s cal
and mental untmity is essential to
ripe soholLrsl.iji, and to mastc-rim;
the abstruse ,c i-no-.s. Besides, it
is not to be expemed that the tone
and discipline of the University c..n
be elevated and rounded into come
ly proportions, a.- long as it is liif and
with youth in tin- impetuous license
of hey day blood.”
lu uiv bumble opinion, these two
passage- strike ill - key note, and ,bi
t the friends ot a teal University Im
| Georgia must j >iii i.i unison belon
they cm actin-ve success. Tne
points we would bung mu in ill- ar
gument are tin’s' :
1. A University—real and proper
—can not be bolt up of !> v.---.t
inu-t have better mater iai th in
Hedged mi lergiail tales, or it is, i;f
ter all, only a coi.ege wall a high
soun Imy name.
2nd. A* such, it can b - niy ;r
little more than a competitor welt
the and noiniiiational college--, an*
every lrteti I and patron of tin -e
will lack interest in the Umvetsu,
—perhaps, it Ins (leinnhii .Oi H I
feelings are liuense, he wdl lee
hostile to it. W etlever good inns
lie in it, of whatever advance u
makes upon the curriculum ot the
colleges, wil! be depreciated, aim
their graduates discouraged from
finishing tin ii studies it the Univer
sity’. This may be all wrong, but
it is human nature, and this (lie
Trustees ol the University cannot
transform.
3d. So long as the powerful de
nominations in Ge irgia purpo e to
keep up (heir own colleges, j- si so
long will they opp >se the endow
merit by the estate ot an institution
ot very little, il any, higher grade
than they maintain, while their own
cherished institutions are left wholly
to private munificence—impaired
by the calamities of the times—
further diminished by the amounts
taken from their purses to build up
an institution in which they have
less personal interest than in their
own colleges, unless it were, in
deed, what a real University can he
made—a compliment to them. This,
again, may seem wrong—narrow,
sectarian to liberal souls—nevetUnl
ess, it is a fact, and wise men take
facts as they find lltttn, and try to
turn them to good account.
-lilt. These postulates granted,
and it follows that unless the denom
inational colleges maintain their
rank and prosperity, Georgia cannot
feed a real University; and unless
their friends relax their opposition
—which seems improbable—Geo -
gia legislators will not be likely to
endow a competitive college under
the name of'a University.
And just here it might be proved,
but tor four of writing too much at
one lime, that these denominational
colleges have in them no single e/«-
ment of mischief sullicieui to warrant
the well-named heathenish proscrip
tion of aid to them, which has found
place in the Constitution of the great
Stale of Georgia. Enough can he
said in their favor to show that they
richly deserve the fostering care ol
the Stale. But 1 forbear, lest 1
weary editors and readers, though
the field is inviting, aud the subject
capable of overwhelming proof. Tlti
however, is not needed; lor Mr Nis
bet wisely strikes at the root of the
matter. Let the friends of educa
tion in Georgia rise in their might
and repeal the obnoxious clause.
Then the way isopen to an educa
tional system in Georgia, that shall
make her foremost among the
States. Then may Franklin Col leg
be endowed as a college along with
Emory, Mercer ami Oglethorpe, un
til they reach the point of highest
efficiency, and from the trustees of
all these colleges, selected under
their own laws —a University Board
may be selected with such repre
sentatives of the State in it, as good
policy may demand, and to this
Board as the Regents of the Univer
sity system —the sy stem embracing
ail the colleges, may be assigned the
task of fixing ti e curriculum lor
them nil. But I find myselfin dan
ger of go ng into p irticulars upon a
system that I conceived of in detail
months ago, aud I will cease. E
nough, that the friends of a Univer
sity for Georgia are opening their
eyes to the real obstructions to their
plans and purposes; and if this brief
communication may be considered
of any importance as coming from
one who partly represents an inter
est thus lias heretofore seemed to
antagonize their views, it may per-

best lor cultivation,” said the im
mortal Charles Dickens,” is the

Death.— Soon death will take
this chrystal cup of life and dash it
in pieces against the marble of the
tomb. A few more nights and then
the night of death will put its wing
over us, and the cool breezes from
the Jordan will make our sleep
sweet. A few more mornings, and
we will rise from our robes of victo

we are bom, and our first utterance
is a cry; into Heayen we are born,
and our first utterance will be a
sung. When the Christian expires,
men say, “close ilie eyes;” but an
gels shout ‘give him a palm!’ men
say we must put him iu the g.outul,

earth it is, ‘Farewell! farewell ! *lu
Heaven it is, ‘Hail, and welcome!’
I take up the lull cup of human
tears, and a ray from the throne of

but joy eoineth in the morning.’
