Thcyaro not a vilo Fancy Drink, madeot Poor

quors doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste,
called “ Tonics,” “Appetizers.” “Restorers,” «kc., that
lead tiie tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true
Medicine.made from the Native Roots and Herbs of Cali
fornia, free from nil Alcoholic Stimulant?*.
They are the GREAT BLOOD PURI FI ER and
A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno
vator and Invigorator of tho System, carrying olf 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 moans,
and the vital organs wasted beyond tho point of repair.
They nro a Gentle Purgative as well as a
Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting ns
a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver, and all tlio Visceral Organs.
FOII FSJIALE COMPbAIXTH, in young 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 and Gout, Dyspepsin or Indigestion, Bil
ious, Remittent nud Intermittent iFevero,
Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and
Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful.
Such Diseases arc caused by Vitinted Blood,
Which is generally produced by derangement of the Di
gestive Organs.
DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache,
Pain in the Shoulders. Coughs. Tightness of tiie Chest
Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks. Palpitation of the Heart,
Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in tho regions of the
Kidneys, and a hundred other paiufui symptoms, are thf
offsprings of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate the Stomach and 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 SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions. Tetter, Sal
Klieuin, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car
buncles, Ring-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas,
Itch. Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Dis.
eases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, arc literally
dug up and carried out of the system in a abort time by
tho use of these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will
convince tiie most incredulous of their curative effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im
purities bursting through tho skin in Pimples, Erup
tions or Sores; cleanse it when you fiud it obstructed and
sluggish in the Tcins; cleanso it when it is foul, and
your feelings will tell you when. Keep tho blood pure,
and the health of tho system will follow.
Pin, Tape, and oilier Worm?*, lurking in the
system of so many thousands, arc effectually destroyed
and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there
is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth
whoso body is exempt from tko presence of worms. It
is not upon the healthy elements of the body that
worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy
deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No
System of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics,
will free the system from worms like these Bitters.

GOLDEN VOICES.
BY MARY FAITH FLOYD.
When sunshine o’er earth’s verdant breast
Pours out its radian’ gold,
And gilds the hills, and paints the trees
With magic touches bold.
My soul drinks draughts of calm delight,
That nil my senses till:
Then nature's golden voices deep
My quivering pulses thrill.
Win* winds are stirred with angry howls,
With tumults loud and hoarse,
Wrapping the snts in clouds of gloom,
Loosing the light ting’s force
In gleaming, forked tongues of flame
When maddened o’ceans reel,
Then wild sublimely-golden tones
Through coral soiii-depths peal.
When ebon night hangs o’er tin*, world
Her wondrous starry fold,
And Dian pale through rushing clouds
Walks like a huntress bold,
Sad memory walks, and op* s tin* door,
And w aves her phantom hand,
Oh ! then the golden voices dear
Sweeps from the spit it land !
Voices that speak front friends who once
Were treasured iewels here
In earth’s rich perishing cabinet,
Lint now, in loftier sphere,
Swell « it: in hi ;;veniier tones than earth’s
Most charmed symphonies,
And fo:ge, with golden music’s bars,
Links lifting us to skies.
O t,., 1871.
Adirets of the Greeley Liberals of
New -York.
lVh< it orant's Government is and what
(iicidrij's May Be.
Fkllow-Citizkxs : The present
administration, although tailing.to
fulfill the lirsl expectations of the
American people, is nevi ri ln less at
etn; ting, through its office-holders,
to prolong its power tor the next lour
years.
A large petliou ofthe President’s
original supporters, and the entire
remainder of his fellow-countrymen,
without distinction of patty, suivcy
this attempt with inibgnation and
alarm.
The history of the administration
is a showy record of discreditable
(sometimes disgraceful) acts —many
of them blunders; others crimes.
Ever since the day alter the Presi
dent’s inauguration, when, as his
first official step, lie sought to abro
gate one ofthe oldest statutes ol the
republic in order to pul a personal
friend in office, he has repeatedly
shown himself, on the one hand, ig
norant of the laws, and, on the oth
er, defiant of them.
He has transcended the limita
tions of the Constitution and done
violence to its free spirit by usurp
ing for himself functions which that
instrument reserves to the States and
tlieir citizens.
He has tyrannously invaded the
political assemblies ofour own and
other free commonwealths, mis
chievously intruding his Federal in
fluence into local affairs.
He has alternately [imposed and
defeated service reform, until, not
withstanding his professions in its
favor, he has proved himself the
chief obstacle to its success.
He has, in multitudes of cases,
made tenure ot office to depend noL
on good behavior of personal fitness,
but on mere subserviency to bis par
tisan schemes.
He has put crafty and ambitious
parasites at the receipt of customs,
where they still continue to fatten
their private purses on the public
funds.
He said to a nation weary with
war, “Let us have peace,” but has
kept the word of promise to the ear
to breakjt to the hope—fostering in
the No;th toward the South a tem
per of bitterness and resentment,
instead of fraternity and gooil will.
He has connived at and sustained
a number of alien and rotten gov
ernments in the Southern State:,
some of whose officers have perpe
trated frauds equalled in magnitude
only by those ofthe Tammany Ring.
He has habitually stifled investi
gation, even into tbe gravest charg
es, brought against his own house
hold.
He has committed acts of nepo
tism more numerous than arc re
corded against the entire line rtf his
Presidential predecessors, from Geo.
Washington to Andrew Johnson.
He has accepted g'Tis from flatter
ers, for which he has rendered dis
honorable equivalents by bestowing
public emoluments on the obsequi
ous givers.
In short, he has administered his
high office not as a trust devolved
upon him by the whole people, hut
as an estate or property owned by
himself alone in fee simple.
During all this ever-growing mal
administration the President’s paiti
sans instead of rebuking bis per
verse course, have, on the contrary,
and for selfish ends, gilded it with
uncundid flattery and defended it
with speclods lftgfc. They have
pul i>=nh a series <•! m ,cLi ■ « pie
tcitces n !'■ c efb-i t that lie i- p-iv ins

the taxes, that he lots colb-cte.l the
revenue, that lie has .-e 11. and tbe Ala
bama claims, limt lie has ir.ii.qud~

But not otic nt these allocations i

Congress, imi tiie Hx> cu no, las

ple. 11 is lie collected the revenue?
Swarms of Isis officers have grown
lieli by its collection. Has be set
tled the Alabama claim- ? They
were never so unsettled as at th s
hour, lias he made peace with the
Indians? The laic-t intelligence
from the frontier is of massacre and
blood, provoked by frauds which his
officers have perpetrated on the de
ceived and exaspsrated savages.
Has he given prosperity and o>n
tenlment to the S luthern pe >nle,
who, wiih unexampled unanimity,
are demanding the overthrow of an
administration which lias held il em
in surveilanee and limited them with
scorn ?
The President’s ollice-hohlers now
in vain pul forth these glittering but
I ilse pn tenues of the success of an
admini-trati >n which three fourths
of the cit Zens of tin! United States
are impatient to vote imo immediate
dissolution.
The recent Liberal Republican
Convent! in at Cincinnati—one ofthe
most stately and brilliant parlia
ments ever assembled in ibis coun
try —uttered the lit protest of ua
aroused people against a demnraliz
ed government, just as the citizens
ol the Empire Slate, a year bclorc,
rose in spontaneous revolution a
gainst a corrupt municipal Ring.
The piom.pl and brave action ol the
Convention has electrified tbe con -
try, and sent a tremor through the
seil complacent security ofthe ‘j o v
ers that be.’ Tbe Cincinnati plat
form is morally as noble as the great
Declaration to which our forefathers
pledged ‘their lives, their fortunes*
and tlieir sacred honor.’ These
principles include the {'([utility ol
all men before the law; the per pot
ual union of these States—which
nothing now threatens save corrup
tion at the Federal centre —the non
revival of all questions and amicable
acceptance of all results which have
been finally and forever settled by
the thirteenth, fourteenth ami fif
teenth amendments; universal am
nesty, which is the most divine act
possible to human government ; the
removal of all political disabilities,
occasioned by a war whose battle
fields have now been seven years
green with peace; the ever sacred
and inviolate supremacy of the civil
over the military function of Iree
government ; and (last, not least) a
civil service which shall evermore
tend to reform itself through the
wholesome regime of a Presidency
expiring by self-limitation with one
term.
In announcing these principles ihe
Cincinnati Convention gave them a
living embodiment in the Person of
a Presidential candidate who is an
illustrious citizen of our own Stale ;
a statesman whose honored name is
a household word in every cottage
in the land ; whose proverbial and
absolute anil incorruptible integrity
is the best possiole guarantee lor an
honest Government in future’; whose
prudent and economical views of
public administration are the earnest
and good hope of a safe and thrifty
management of the Executive office;
whose kindliness of spirit is typical
of the good will which should here
after exist between the two sections
heretofore opposed, and whose long
life, spent in rare devotion to the in
terests of the poor, the oppressed,
and the toil-worn among his coun
trymen. has enshrined him in all
men’s respect as one of the most
faithful champions of human rights
and one of the most tevered exam
ples of personal worth.
In the candidate for the Vice
Presidency, we hail a noble and
gallant statesman of the West; a
Kentuckian by birth, a Missourian
by res'dence, who, for years fought
the battle of freedom on slave soil;
who, at the close of the war against
slavery, was one of the heailiest to
demand amnesty for the Southern
people, and- whose career deserves
the sympathy of all who honor cour
age and action dictated by a nobili
ty of soul.
In view of ibis platform and these
nominations, we hereby invite you,
fellow-citizens, ol all party names,
to join the icforrn movement at mice,
and to organize yourselves, without
further delay, into working associa
tions in your own respective coun

Alfred Wilkinson, See’y.
Tub James Movk.mknt Incheasim;.—
Those of your contemporaries who made
light ot the movement in favor of James
:wo months ago do not appear disposed
to joke on it now. Dining my ivcent
trip down the road I saw very many
persons who supported it. Especially
the old line Whigs are favorable to hi.,
candidacy, and I know that the triends
of James are bent upon running him.
Even in Southwestern Georgia he has
developed considerable strength, much
to my surprise I admit. His main
strength, however, will be found to be
iu Middle and Northern Georgia. I
have no doubt that some of the subsi
dized ‘ ink sliugers” heio will pronounce
this “ridiculous,” hut there aro more ri
diculous things occuring every day which
they treat pretty seriously.
!3o writes tbe Atlanta correspond
ent of the Savannah Advertiser. There
is abundant other evidence ol dili
gence, among the adherents of May
or James, in pressing him quietly
upon the people. That lie would
stand the ghost of a chance in a lull
anil fair Convention of Georgia Dem
ocrats, to secure the nomination for
Governor, no one believes. But
there are many ways of making ma
jorities, and the selfish energy anti
skill k of Atlanta politicians will iind
them out. The effort to divide and
distract the councils of those, who
prefer not the Banker, by sugges
tions of many candidates, is in keep
ing with the plan. The great pop
ularity of Gov. Jenkins, Gen. Col
quit, Mr. Hartridge, Col. Fielder
and Gov. Smith, besides others, is a
convenient tool, with which to pre
pa re the Convention for a compro
mise on John H. James. But it
won’t do. The “one term princi
ple” is in favor, and a fraction is not
“one.” By a vast majority 7 the pres
ent incumbent was elected, and the
“sovereigns” intend that he shall
have a whole term. See to it.
Southern Recorder.
For the D l —An exchange
(we won’t name him, lor doubtless
he is ashamed of himself) says the
advocacy of Gieely by Swayze, of
Macon Union, “settles the question”
as to his support by Southern Dem
ocrais. By the same principle (our
exchange stickles for “principle”)
he will break all the commandments
that S. approves. — lie will turn idol
ater i! Swayze commend Christiani
ty, and so mi, to the end of the chap
ter. He is dreadfully afraid that
Swayze will lead him by the nose,
but lias no objection to ,being driven
by S. Wendell Phillips dr 'dares
Grant to be a Jeff. Davis Secession
ionist. Does that “settle” some too?

HOLD VO UR TEMPER.
There is a marked difference in
the tone ami temper of the journals
of this State, as they may be lor or
against the Liberal alliance. Calm,
good-natured argument is pressed
by the former, in most conciliatory
terms, and the relief of the South
seems to be their great desire. The
latter, however, are irritable, dog
matic and dictatorial, with no appa
parent object but the preservation of
the Party. They charge “chandon
ment oi principle” upon their dis
senting btethren, with facile glib
ness. Now this is all wrong. We
a pealed for “soft words and hard
arguments” in the beginning of the
discussion. \V edo not believe there
is a word ol truth in the charge, and
we have no doubt that the accusers
know it. Henry L. Penning a trai

What is “the Party” worth to us,
except as a means to relieve the South?
It it is utterly incompetent to that—

way of that relief—shall the South

existence? Or shall (if need be) the
Party be sacrificed to the deliver

Democratic County Meetings.
But two have been held in the
Stale, up to this writing—in the
counties of Lee and Richmond. At
the former the following resolution
was unanimously passed :
Resolved, That while wc firmly ad
here to the principles and organization
of the National Democratic party, we
believe tbat in tbc present aspect of na
tional polities anil the oppressed condi
tion of the South, it would be unwise
and highly impolitic for a Democratic
ticket to be nominated by the National
Democratic Convention, to meet in Bal
timore in July next, but believe that wo
should close ranks with the Liberal Re
publicans in their patriotic effoits to re
lieve the country of the corruptions and
oppressions of the present Radical ad
ministration.
Resolved, That we instruct our dele
gates to the State Democrats Conven
tion to act in accordance with the views
expressed iu the foregoing resolution.
In Augusta, the lollowiug was
unanimously adopted, alter a speech
by Hon. Linton Stephens, the ablest
“Bourbon” speaker in the Stale:
Resolved, That the reforms most de
sired by the Democratic party ace local
tels-government, the sabordioalion of
the military to tho civil authority, the
preservation unimpaired of the writ of
habeas corpus, and the checking of the
centralizing tendencies of the Federal
