Democratic State Ticket* SECRETARY OF STATE, (Jen. MAIILON D. MAN SON, of Montgomery. AUDITOR OF STATE, CHRISTIAN G. BADGER, of Clark. TREASURER OF STATE, JAMES B. RYAN, of Marion. ATTORNEY GENERAL, JOHN R. COFFROTH, of Huntington. SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. R. M. CHAPMAN, of Knox.

Difference Between a Chief SlagIwlrutc and the Itepreecntativc of Farty SeutimentM. It should neverAie; forgotten, in estimating the character of a public ollicer, that there is a wide difference in the position and responsibilities of the individual while acting as the advocate or representative of party principles and when called upon to administer or execute the laws and protect alike the rights and inter-c-ds of all. This idea is happily Illustrated in the legal profession. The lawyer, as he should, represents alone the interests of his client, but is the duty of the judge to earefullyand impartially determine upon the differences between the contendin',' parties. While in the one case the sympathies are all upon one side and the case is presented from tliat stand point, the judge can he influenced by no such considerations but must look alone to the facts and the law in adjudicating the contest. The Chict Magistrate of a nation has other responsibilities and du tics than to carry out the edicts, the opinions and the policy of the party which elected him. Win n he enters upon the duties of his position, lie is no longer the mere representattve of a party, t f a majority of tlie people, but the Chiif Magistrate of the nation. While hi< t let lion may have secured the triumph of certain principles and policy in the administration of the government, the minority have rights wlii.-h the organic law of the land guarantees and which it is the duty of the I’lvdd'-nt to see sivured. When he takes I lie oath of ollice, it is in subordination to the Constitution and the laws, and he pledges himself to see the funner maintained and the latter faithfully and impartially enforced. When this \ r \v of tlie subject is taken, the most bigoted must admit that the President in the porformaiiee of his duties must sink the p irlisan ailil administer the Government for theeiiiiimnn good and thceommon welfare, and resjn rt, in -o doing, the rights of nil. The natural t nd ney of otli dal position is to eon--ervatism. and e^peeially is it in the ease of a ehiefm.ui-irate. Ami it is necessarily so. In the discharge of his otiioial trust he may be often eoiujielb d to net iii antagonism not only to the pre judices which he had previously entertained. but to the convictions of his judgment. And the very moment he is placed in ‘he nodtion in which he is compelled to re--pect the rights of minorities, those adverse to him in political opinions, mid execute the laws impartially, he would not be human if he did not gradually hut certainly learn to respect tin 1 judgment and the principles of those be had previously combatted, no matter with h"w much earnestness, intelligence and sincerity. There is imt an individual who has till'd the ollice of President of the I’mtcd Stales, no matter how extreme the political views he entertained when elected, and howcier -l long bis partisan prejudices •na> have boon, but what had a those scntiimait s and prejudices niodilied in the di charge of bis oltieial duties. It will be recollect d til it President 1‘Yl.I.MiIRE, bcI'oie his eleelion to the N ice Presidency, had expressed as ultra views upon the slavery MUistion as Mr. Lincoln had. But, when called upon to excriiti* the fugitive slave act, he did not hesitate in discharging his duty as the administrator of the laws, no matter how odious i!i p law may have been to him personally. This has been the experience of every Pie ident. The position imposes upon tliat ollicer duties which ipav bo in opposition to bis individual judgment in regard to the best means tjo promote the public interests, hence he may often be compelled to enforce laws which he had previously combatted ns inimical to public policy. The radical Republicans or abolitionists are very bitter in their denunciations of President JfUiNMiN, because in the administration of public all'airs be does not reflect or carry out all their party ideas and partisan prejudices, without for a moment considering the responsibilities nf his position, or ids inability to do so^ If the l.'hief Magistrate of a constitutional Government should become the mere representative of a party, how long before it would be converted into a mere despotism? The will of the ruling faction then would become the Government instead of the Constitution and the laws. Civil Jrights and personal liberty, now secured by the Constitution, would be stricken down and become subordinate to party interests and will. And if mere party rule should become the higher law, it would not be long before we would be Mexicanized and the country become the prey of the faction which should succeed in becoming the ruling power. Such are the ideas to which President Johnson has placed himself in antagonism and which he is nobly battling. Too much credit can not be awarded to him for surrendering in the discharge of his responsible oflieial duties, life long personal prejudices and animosities. And in these regards we can not express ourselves more appropriately and justly than docs the Cincinnati Commercial. an intense representative of Republicanism, in the following extracts from an article estimating the position and utterances of Andrew Johnson before he wascallcd to the chief magistracy, in contrast with his present attitude and the views he now entertains and expresses. Says the Commercial: “Before the vast responsibility of the chief in e.'istraey was thrown upon Andrew Johnson when he was a Senator of the United Sialcs, Military Governor of Tennessee and \ ice President—his denunciations of rebels were of the most vehement character. Whenever he had anything to say about treason and traitors he flamed like the mines of sulphur; inut if then told that he might rhange, his reply would have been in the spirit of Othello’s to lago: “ Never, lago. Like to the Pontic sea, Whose icy current and compulsive course Ne’er feels retiring ebb, hut keeps due on To the Propontic and the Hellespont; Even so my bloody thoughts, with violent pace, Shall ne’er look hack, ne’er ebb to humble love. Till that a capable and wide revenge Swallow them up,” “ The unreserved denunciation of traitors by Andrew Johnson supply Forney, and other persons interested, in making a disturbance, with favorite material for quotations, when they undertake to show that the President’s policy is not severe enough upon those who conspired and fought against the republic. And yet the change in the President is one equally natural and honorable. The oppressive responsibilities of his high ollice resting upon him caused him D> forget his personal resentments. ami hisstei ij opposition to a policy of vengeance, iiotwiihstaiidiiiir his own deep provocation, has been recognized in all civilized countries as the part ot wisdom. Having Russ*] 'through this experience, conquering vj»is own passions, and devoting hnuself, ns he believed, wholly to the good of his country. It was a peculiar and cruel wrong to charge him with treachery.” With the overthrow of the rebellion, the President had new, complicated and vast responsibilities suddenly thrown upon him. Ho was compelled to act, and net promptly, for what he regarded the best interests of the country, and upon his own judgment. His policy was soon developed. It was his object to restore the States lately in rebellion to their places in the Union at us early a day as possible. Provisional governments ware-promptly organized upon the surrender of the rebel armies, and when the people of the several States which had been in revolt met In convention, adopted constitutions republican in form and in harmony with the (Ringed condition of public nlftiirs, and Organized State governments, they were recognized us States terming an integral portion of the government. And what has Congress done? It has been over four months in session. It has as yet developed no plans for the restoration of the Union. It has refused to receive the representatives of restored States, or to even recognize them as in a territorial condition, with the territorial privilege of a delegate to represent their interests in the halls of Congress. The -BefNibtleans have two-thirds majorltiee

In each branch of Congress, which places the entire responsibilities of legislation upon them. They have got the power, and, as a paper in their intereste very naturally enquires, what will they do with it? They have overridden the President’s veto upon the Civil Rights bill, a measure which strikes down what have been regarded heretofore by all parties as the proper prerogatives of State governments, and centralizes power in the Federal government to an alarming degree.. They can not shuffle off the responsibility which they have secured by expelling members from their bodies who' bad an unquestionable right to their seats. They must do something, and whatever it is, the country will hold them responsible for it. But it can not be said that the President has had no policy; that under it the country was not being pacified more rapidly than could have been expected, or that he has not acted with the moderation and magnanimity which becomes the Chief Magistrate of a great people, yielding, in so doing, his personal and political animosities, “ in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our pos-

terity.’’

■ i i Hr here the Fault I

The radical papers charge that the people of the Southern States are yet hostile to the Union, and hence they should not be permitted representation in Congress. How stands the case? The States or jieople who were in rebellion have been conquered or subjugated. When they found their cause was hopeless* they laid down their arms, submitted to the Government of the United States, and complied with every demand upon them as a condition for their restoration to the Union. They have taken every oath of allcgancc that has been imposed upon them; repudiated the rebel debt and all acts of secession; promptly answer all requirements in the payment of taxes; adopted the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery; In most of the States they have adopted liberal laws to secure the civil rights of the negro, and in Georgia, as the Journal says, an act identical in principle with the Civil Rights bill passed by Congress. After doing all this, the Southern people say the Republican Congress practically asserts that the States lately In rebellion, although they have returned to their allegiance, are out of the Union, by denying them representation in the National Legislature, and all participation in the General Government. They enquire, and a very natural enquiry ills, can it he expected that we should be very strong unionists, have a very warm attachment for a govern meat in which wo are not permitted to have a part? Is such a policy, they again enquire, calculated to develop and strengthen union sentiment in the southern States? We ask the fair minded Republicans in the Northern States, whether the course adopted by the radical Congress is calculated to restore that harmony and concnnl which.are the security of a perfect Union, and which must be the basis of prosperity, progress and national greatness? The radical ^party say that eleven States of the South are not of the Union; refuse tojreeeive loyal Representatives to Congress who have attested their loyalty by lighting with and in the armies in the Union against their neighbors, and then denounce the people of the very States they thus exclude from the Union for antiunionism and disloyalty! How long will it take to restore the Union upon such a policy? AddrcsM of the National Johnson

Club.

ThwNalional Intelligencer ot last Thursday contains the address of the National Johnson Club to the people of the United States. That paper thus comments upon the document, after remarking that is of leading importance since it discusses the great issue of restoratiffli

alone:

“ The address of the committee, coining as it does from leading Republicans, as well as from prominent Democrats, together with some very distinguished conservatives from the Southern States, is admirably calculated to dispel the clouds and darkness that enshroud us, and to attract strict and tixed attention to the cardinal idea of restoration, upon which turns the fate of the nation for weal or for woe. So must the people look to public affairs for the ensuing months. •• The clear and cogent argument proceeds upon the idea that as the quasi rel>ellion of a portion of New England in the war of 1S12 did not involve the people of that section in the pains and penalties for having ‘ adhered to tbcencmv’ to a certain extent, ‘ giving them aid and comfort,’ so also the Southern people should not now be proscribed from like compassion, kindness, forgiveness, and pardon from the Federal hand. The ticld for extended remark concerning disunionism at the North, in various torms and aspects, is very wide, and the committee seem, in mercy to the Northern radicals, to have rested their ease upon the one strongest point, as presented by New England Infidelity at the period of our second war of independence.” Hon. Montgomery Blair is president of the Club and Hon. Charles Mahon is corresponding secretary. The vice presidents represent thirty-four States, and in the list we notice the names of Hon. James Guthrie, of Kentucky, ex-Governor Todd, of Ohio, and Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, of this State. AdmlMlmi of Sonthcrn state** The Rump Congreu opposes the admission of representatives from the Southern States, although they have complied with every condition that has over been Imposed upon them. Nominally they arein the Union, hut practically they are out of it. They pay all taxes required of them, bat at the same time one branch of the Government denies them repre sentation. Nothing just or magnanimous can be expected from the Ramps. The people, at the elections next fall, must settle the admission of the Southern States, and they will do it In a manner and with a spirit which wn predict, will be unsatisfactory to the radicals. Don’t Like It. The Journal don’t like the address of the Democratic State Convention to the people of Indiana. It was not expected it would, and it was not prepared with that views The address deals in facts, very troublesome facts, hence it is any thing but palatable to radicals and Republican disunionlsts. The address portrays most clearly the dire results of radcal rule and its great cost to the people, what every tax payer is feeling very sensibly; therefore the Republican organ regards it very dull reading, but the people are very anxious however for just that kind. Tone of tho Southern Prera*-Sound Advice.

The Southern papers, so far as they have fallen under our notice, in publishing the President’s proclamation of peace, avail themselves of the opportunity to counsel the people of that section not to abuse the good which that document secarce to them, but to continue, more than ever, to look earnestly to their ways and abstain from every thing likely to bo used as a means for keeping alive the bitterness of the past. The Nashville American, referring to the proclamation, Bays: : J -) J “ It imposes, however, upon the people of the States enumerated in the proclamation another duty. By this act of the Government they are restored to their civil rights as they existed before the wirlknd Ck» military power which the Government may think it necessary to maintain as a police force, and means of protection is rendered subordinate to the civil uuthoritr. This should not transport them beyoud the bounds of discretion, or leadtittm into a coarse of conduct at variance with the polkrvof the Government, or thAf^duty as obedient and taw abiding eitfeSns. On the otherh and, if. should unitoate them to a more scrupulous performance of every duty devoirPresident In bis efforts to consummate the noble work in which he is engaged, and will tend to disarm the blinded and furious partisans, who, by theif. factious hostility to restoration, are proving tb mu stives the common enemies of the Government, the Southern people, and the President.” vy, a To the above the Nashville Union adder * “ We trust that the people of the Southern •lutes win recognize ttfe supreme Importance of performing their obligations to the nation, as indicated by our eotemporarr. Much depends upon the manner*!n which they condnct themselves. If they be but true, radicalism will be defeated by the sober, sensible masses of the North, who, whatever their representatives in Congress mar seek to accomplish, hate no desire to prolong Inharmonious feelings,- dr to subject the South farther hur*”

The general practitioner has heretofore pronounced catarrh incurable, or when consulted In relation to it have been satisfied in prescribing some snuff, or squirting a little warm water up the nose, which of course do no good, the tivst, in some instances, actually doing

harm.

Unfortunately, catarrh is too generally neglected bvfhc patient as -WIl, until it Is lost sight of in the disastrous consequences to Which it gives rise. ' i\t ) 1:' Catarrh is both a general as well as a local disease, and should have both a general and local treatment. So succcessful has been the method I adopted for its cure, that I do not believe it will fail in any one case out of a hundred, when properly and faithfully ap-

plied.

Dr. llnle on Nlnsnl Fnlnrrli. To the Editor of the lieratd: Hir; The dlsenaes whlfh seat tlieiii'i-lve-i in the tlimat. amt in the irreat <\i\ ity of 1 lie < lie«t, have oeeiipied a lar^e share of my attention for several years joist. With ynnr permission I purpose to contribute to your eolmnus a aeries of letters, plain ami pr.irtieul. on the nature, causes ami treatment of.-atarrh, throat diseases, liroueliitis, nothin t and rouMimp-

tion.

My new method of treatment has jiro\ed very successful where all other means of medication have failed, and my practice in these complaints for the lust four years lias been larjfe. No class of diseases from which wo suffer are more numerous than these, and none have so generally baflled the skill of the profession. For this reason T wish to present here a practical and common sense view of these complaints, which l trust may be of real value to the reader. A striking increase in the number of throat diseases and catarrhs has been noticed within the last few years. A person suffering from any of them will lind, on speaking of hi* complaint, that a number of his neighbors are afflicted with troubles of a similar kind. And when it is considered that they are the natural, and if unmolested, theeertain harbingers of lung disease,it is wise to seek a cure in time before the lungs have become enveloped in the destruction. I shall speak of these diseases iu the order of their location. Nasal Catarrh consists in inflammation, which begins behind and a little above the veil of the palate, and extend* upward from thence into t lie nose. The infliunmatisn i* not contined to the nasal cavities. It extends frequently to the air cavities called antrums and sinuses, which cover a considerable portion of the face and extends to the lower part of the forehead. I’ersotls sometimes feel us if their whole face were involved in the disease, and were almost in a state of rottenness, so great is the amount of matter discharged from the head. 8uch free discharges can not lie wondered at, when we reflect that all the air cavities in the face are lined with the same mucous membrane which lines the nose, and that they all communicate with the nasal cavities. We breathe through the nose; hence that part of the mucous membrane becomes injured, lirst from sudden changes in the temperature of the air, or from any irritating matter it may contain. The membrane lining the nasal passages also extends downward, lining the throat, larynx and bronchial tubes. The symptom* of catarrh vary in different persons, no two ever being affected exactly alike, and the disease is met with in various forms and stages. In the first there is merely a discharge of thin, straw colored mucous, which accumulates in the posterior nare, or abovo and behind the soft palate, aud is hawked or cleaned out from time to time, during the day. In some eases there arc sores formed inside of the nose, and the eecretttm* become efryartd hard, requiring almost constant attoutiontokcep the nose free. Then again, a false membrane is secreted from the diseased lining, which the pat ient removes from tftttetoTltne. In flir laAt Stage the secretions from the head drop down into the throat. Often the mucous membruno becomes ulcerated, and the discharge like pi|s. AVheti this occurs, there Is often lessor smell, and the discharge has an offensive odor—especially is this the case when the ulceration eats through the membrane and attaeksthe hone, forming caries

of the bone.
