If called to Ike Presidency I should deem it my duty to resist with all my power any attempt to impair or evade the full force and tiffed qf the Con- * dilution, which in every article, section and amendment is the supreme law of the land.—[General Hancock's Letter of Acceptance. » ...- A tote for Frank Landers is a vote for General Hancock, wbiloavoto for Albert Porter is a vote for Jamos Garfield. , _ A vote for Garfield is a vote for tho demonetization of silvor, crodit mobiller frauds and HoGolyer pavement rascalities. The Republicans have given up New York and New Jersey. The orders from the Radical bosses am to win Indiana—no matter how—bat it mast be won. i:vV. Our National friends throughout the State should keep in remembrance the fact that Hon. Frank Landers Intro* duced the first bill in Congress to remonetize silver. At the last election in Now Hampshire the Republican majority was only 371. The Republicans don’t feel that they have a anre thing on the Granite State by any means. 8. W. Monlton, a former Republican member of Congress from Illinois and Postmaster-General under President Grant, and al ways heretofore a zealous Republican, has declared for Hancock. Keep it before the people that Garfield voted against the law to remonetize silver, and against the law to prevent the furthor retirement of the greenbacks—that he has favored all laws to mako the rich richer and the poor poorer. _ Hates’ first act on entering the White House was to appoint all the thieves who stole the Presidency for him to lucrative office. Tbeso persons cost the country $260,000 a year, taken from the publio treasury, and it Is nothing more than robbery, i.—. m • » m i .i Wherever eight by ten Republican •tamp speakers assert that Hancock is aot a statesman, ask them to road Judge Davis’letter: if they back their judgement against his as to what it takes to oonstitnte a statesman, it is avidenoe convincing that they have more bras# than brains. ■vAiv' ' : ( .

That was & mean piece of business that the Republican papers were guilty of in printing a lot of swash about Lee and Stonewall Jackson, and patting Wade Hampton’s name to it as the author. Wade Hampton says: “Is my whole record since the close of the war and all my efforts lor a better understanding botween the sections—a broad and down-reaching tor the Union—to be frittered away by the forgeriosof an obscure newspaper writer? I neither used the words attributed to mo uor anything approaching them in meaning.” The Proas re-printed the forgery. Will it havo the decency to mafco tho correction ? We shall see. * II ebb is some good news for Democrats. A special from Syracuse, N. T-, says that a Hancock and English polo 150 feet high was raised in tho Eighth Ward in that city one night last week by Republicans who havo come out for Hancock and English. Fifty-one Republicans in tbo Ward have signed the roll forming a Republican Hancock and English Club. The Republican Hancock pole was drawn through tho principal streets of the city by four horses preceded by martial music. The event caused a great deal of excitement in political circles. The officers of the Republican Hancock Club say that fully 200 Republicans in the Eighth Ward will join tho Club before the campaign is over.

The Republicans of this county and especially of the town of Petersburg aro pretty thoroughly demoralized. They have given up the ghost and are very much agitated, and in their wild frenzy of despair have resortod to all the little moan and dirty tricks that is possible for the human mind to originate, the enumeration and publication of which would require a large space and an article that would not bo fit to go to the public as it would show the Indecency and low state of moral culture that exists among the followers of the party of great moral ideas. We are glad to say, however, that there are a few of the leading Republicans in and around Petersburg that do not indorse the couduct of their party friends during the last few days, as it will have a tendoncy to drive some of the better element of the party to the support of the Democratic ticket from Hancock down to the county ticket. Thero Is the fairest prospect for the verification this coming^October and November] of the old adage, that “whom the gods ,would destroy they first make mad,” The New York Herald has this to say of General Hancock’s lotter to General Sherman in 1876: “General Hancock’s friends well may invoke public judgment whothor It does not prove him to be moro than a more soldier who knows nothing outsido of the routine of military command and obedience—whothor, indeed, it (loos not prove him to have boon a conservative higli-mindod, cool-headed, lawabiding citizen in oho of tho most porlous poriods through which the Republic has over passed, Itisalottor which displays something more than common sense. It testifies to the possession of qualifications of statesmanship much more satisfactorily than the lottor of acceptance of fbo Cincinnati nomination. There is a ring in some of .Its passages which sounds like an echo of tho spirit of the groat constitutional, era of Washington and Jefferson. All of Genoral Hancock’s published papors so far—and this especially—shows that whatever may bo his deficiencies there is no tendency to domagogism in his disposition. But that ho is a sincere and patriotic and straightforward man, anti if this favorablo improssiou continues unabated till November he cortaiuly will have a good chance for success.” Bear in mind, fellow-citlzons, that the foregoiug comments are taken from a Republican paper of world-wide reputation, It Is far above tho partisan level of a great majority of American newspapers. Therefore, it can afford to toll tho truth on all occasions, rogardloss of tho scowls or smiles of either party.

Mb. Garfield, having deaortod the army to tight for his country at a better salary iu Congress, is hardly tho man to giyo an opinion as to the qualities which our bravo Federal soldiers possessed. In his speech at Genova, a few days ago, Garfield used tho following language, which must be looked upon as insulting by every man who wore the blue in the war of the rebellion: i “Some people think that soldiers are chiefly renowned J or con rage. Thia is one of tho cheapest and commonest qualities., Wo share it with tho brutes. I can And yon dogs, and bears, and lions, that will light, fight to tho death, and will tear each other. Do you call that warfare?” The men who went down South to fight for the Union and stood by the Union until it was no longer iu danger, deserve no credit, acoordlng to Mr. Garfield, They were like dogs 1 Dogs are brave, like patriots. A patriot la simply an ignorant fellow, who will fight and tear his enemy like a tiger I The men who desorve all the credit are those who either left the army before the fighting became too hot tor them, or those who didn’t go into he army at all, Garfield is of tho former stripe. He weut to Congross and had comfortable quartors at Washington, while Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock, Thomas, and their lieutenants wore fighting in marsh and morass through the South—fighting like dogs, perhaps, ap Mr. Garfield would lay, but nevertheless lighting for their country and the right. And when the fighting was over, each and every one of the brave leaders of the Northern army laid down his sword end betatno a man of peace. Then the qowardly stay-at-home got out from under tho band-wagon, and, with one hand daunting a bloody shirt, and the other fondly clasping tbo public purse, ho yelled for country, for office, and for goro. With an ever watchful eye he did not allow any chtnoe “to turn over am honest dollar” on the outsido to escape him. He bo;ame Interested in District riugs and voted for the infamous salary grab. Later on in life he devoted his talents and his energies to the abuse of a lesding Union soldier, Gen. G rant. Still later he violated the coifldenco of his friend, John Sherman, and, while acting as tho latter’s representative, h«l himself nominated for the Presidency. Still later he poured out abuse and Insult upon the heads of the Union soldiers. Later on be will bo beaten at the polls as he deserves to be, and the party which nominated him will never forSve ilsolf for doing so.—[Chicago ews. (ind. Rep.)

LANDERS. THE GREAT OVATION TENDERED BY DIKE COUNTY TO THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF INDIANA, AT WINSLOW, ON SATURDAY. Waring Banners, Fluttering Flags, Unbounded Enthusiasm, Immense Crowds, and a General Adranco Upon the Enemies’ Line, Pike County Keening Step With her Sluter Counties to the music of Democratic Victory. NOTES, INCIDENTS, ETC., ETC., BIO. The unconquerable and invincible Democracy of Pike county came up to the now declaration of independence on last Saturday in tho grand meoting tboy gave Hon. Franklin Landers at Winslow. Never in tho history of political events in this county have tho Democracy responded more grandly to tho call “to arms’* than on this occasion.

The morning oponed cloudy, foggy and rainy, and it seomod as if tho elementa were opposed to tho demonstration that tho Democracy had prepared for the nineteenth Governor of the proud commonwealth of Indiana, but notwithstanding the loworing clouds and general appearance of an uncomfortable day, tho streets of Petersburg at aik^early hour began filling up with the irrcprossiblo Democracy, and at about 9 o’clock the largost and most brilliant procession ever seen In the streets of Petersburg %as organized, ready for the march to Winslow. The procession was hoadod by the Oakland cornet band, followed by tho glee club wagon of tho Petersburg Hancock, Landers and Kleiner Gleo Club. This was a magnificently decorated wagon fillod with beautiful young ladies and handsome gentlemon. No one disputes tho fact that this wagon was tho largost and most handsomely embellished wagon of tho^ind overseen in thestreots of Petersburg. It challenged and received the praise oven of Republicans. The glee club wagon was drawn by six horses, and behind it came a long lino Of carriages and wagons forming the grandest and most imposing political procession ever Been in the streets of Petersburg. This procession of itself was enough to warm tho heart of every Democrat in the county for the memory of all our citizens can easily go back to the time when tho accomplishment of such a feat and such a succoss on the part of the Democracy of this town would have boon as impossible as Republican triumph in Indiana in tho coming Octobor election. All along tho road to Winslow tho procession was increased by tho citizens along tho line (Of march until when tho town was reachod tho procession contained a multitudo so groat that no man could numbor them. %s the carriage containing tho coming Governor passed along tho immense lind of peoplo and into tho town tho choors were wild and doafoning and continued until men wore compelled to desist through sheer oxhaustion. Winslow was ono tremendous,moving, surging, -cheering, shouting mass of humanity. No words can adequately doscribo tho pont up enthusiasm that hero fouud voice upon the arrival of Mr. Landers and his oscort—the Petersburg delegation—and tho cheers and shouts did not ccaao until tho meeting was called to order and tho speaking began.

Hon. Joun II. O Ncall, of Washington, first addressed the assembled thousands in a masterly speech, in which Mr. Garfield’s connection with the Credit Mohilior, DeGolyor contract, returning board infamy, backpay steal, and other questionable transactions wero made so plain that no man who lays any claim to honosty could consistently support him for tho high office of President. Mr, O’Noail’s speech was a scathing roviow .of Republican legislation and radical Infamy, and when ho closed he was warmly congratulated by the entire meeting. During all tho timo Mr. O’Noall was spoaking, the rain came down in a steady shower, but nothing could dampen the ardor of the valiant Democrats who had.como out to hear the issues of the-hour discussed, and thoy patiently stood the fall of the rain that'they might hear how grandly tho causo was marching on. , After a song by the Petersburg gleo club, and music by ono of tho bands, Mr. Landers was introduced to the crowd in a few appropriate words by Mr. E, P. Richardson, and he had hardly begun speaking when the rain ceased falling, tho. clouds drifted away and the glad bright sunshine came forth and fell upon tho great multitude like a glorious benediction. It was felt and realized by all that this was but an earnest of the grand and brilliant victory which will fall upon the banners of the Democracy when tho idea of Octobor shall have come. Mr. Landers spoke for noarly two hours in a strain of argument and logic unanswerable and convincing, His speech was such a plain and clear annunciation of tho Democratic position that many who havo heretofore boon inclined to oppose his eloction were constrained to give over their opposition and acoord him a generous support. Thelgood his speech did can not be estimated now, but the majority which Pike county will roll up for him in October will prove that the seed sown at Winslow on Saturday did not fall upon barren ground. Hon. James Barker and W. F. Townsend^ Esq., made short and telling speeches after Mr. Landers con

eluded, and in their words plsinly showed that victory was only waiting to perch upon the banners or the Democracy of this county. The meeting then closed amid round after ronnd of cheers for the National, State and connty candidates, and the vast crowd dispersed to their seyeral homes, feeling well satisfied that ua Sabbath day’s journey” had been made towards victory and triumph. motes. The crowd was estimated by cornpotent judges to bo at least 2,500 in number, while many insisted that 3,500 was near the exact figuro. There were- more people in the procession which started for Win., low from Petersburg than woro hero in town when Portor spoke hero, Tho Petersburg gloo club was the grandest success of tho gathering, and merited and received tho compliments fiot only of Governor Danders and tho distinguished gontlomen who accompanied him, but of tho vast crowd assembled at Winslow. Governor Landers was the gnest of W. P. Knight, editor of the Democrat, whilo In Petersburg. The exhibition of ill breeding and bad manners made by somo Republican women on tho streets on Saturday morning was a disgrsoe to civile zatioji/of tho town and county.

Not a single disturbance, accident or row occurred to disturb the perfect harmony of the meeting, and there were more drimkon Republicans on tbo streets of Petersburg on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock ttgjj could havo been found all dayat Winslow and in all tho vast crowd. The Democrats of Petersburg have achieved a groat victory over the Republicans in tho formation of a glee club, in a procession, and in ail tho elements which go towards making up a successful political demonstration. Wo have got ’em down now and intond to keep them there, and don't yon forget it. £. P. Richardson and Auditor Dllderback escorted Hon. Franklin Landers from Washington to Petersburg. They acted as a reception committee. The Oakland oornot band and tho Petersburg gleo club serenaded Hon. Franklin Landers at the rosidonoo of W. P. Knight on Friday evening. Mr. Landers responded in a graceful little speech of thanks and was afterward introduced to tho members of the musical organizations and to numerous callers who caino to pay their respects to tho popular Democratic candidate for Governor, and tho evening passed off pleasantly and well. Hon. Franklin Landers and Mr. Fremont Arford, of tho Indianapolis Daily Sentinel, who accompanied him, woro taken to Princoton on Sunday by W. F. Townsend and Auditor Rildcrback. The Democratic party of Piko county havo determined no longer to submit to the insults and indignities which tho Republicans have heaped upon them in other days. We are ooming up to tho uow declaration of independence and nothing from this timo on shall impede tho onward course to the triumph so surely oars. The dclegt-iaa from* Monroe* and Lockhart townships was a grand success. It was headed by tho Lynnvillo cornet baud aud a regular oldfaehionod hickory wagon drawn by four horses, in which was seated eighteen of the oldest Democrats of Lockhart township whoso ages averaged over 65 years. Tho Democrats of Lockhart and Monroe aro thoroughly aroused, and wo may oxpoct to hear a good roport from thorn in October and Novombor. The Difference. In 1865, secretary Stanton complimented Gen. Hancock for having captured “nearly all the forces of tho rebel guerilla Mosby, and had offered a reward of $2,000 for tho capture of Mosby himself.” Now Mosby is a “loll" Republican official, whllo Hancock is denounced as a traitor and rebel, aud every thing olso that is unpatriotic, by the same party that could not too much praise him for his course in that caso. -—...

Borrowed? Of Course! [Paterson (N. J.) Dally Guardian, Aug. 11,1880.] Garfield admits that he “borrowed” money from Oakes Amos. What a queer coinoidonco it was, to bo sure, that several other members of the Ilouso borrowed exactly the samo amount of Oakes Ames at a period when bo was puttiug out money “whoro it would do the most good.” Here is the little list: John A. Logan.S339 William D. Killey..:.. .*£> James A. tiartteld .ft.. sa» We havo not noticed that this queer oircnmstanco has yet been explained by any of the Garfield stump orators. The Confederate Debt. [EllonvlUo (N. Y.) Bannerol LHwrjy.j When a stalwart Republican Is driven into bis hole in a political argument ho tries to cover his retreat by bawling ont: “If General Hah cock is elected tho Democrats will nay the whole Confederate war debt,” This is tho boshiost of all bosh. Tho Constitution of the United States prohibits it.^So does the Constitution of each and every one of the Southern States. If this wore not tho ease, the debt is about all hold in Europe, was taken “on spec.,” and Southern taxpayers have no desiro to burden themselves with taxes to feed European capitalists who took tholr war securities at avaricious rates. The confederate debt is now a good deal deader than tho “third term.” (Jen. Garfield’s Credit Mobilier Record. From hi* own 8 worn T<?*ilmony before the Poland Committee, Jan. 11,1873. I never owned, received or agreed to receive any itock of the Credit Mobilier or of the Union Pacific Railroad nor any dividends or profits arising from either qf them. From Jnrtgs Poland’* Report, Fob. i» 1873— Gurflold’a Testimony PoiJureU. Tho facte in regard to Mr. Garfield, as found by the committee, are that he agreed with Mr. Ames to take ten shares of Credit Mobilier stock, bnt did not pay for tho samo. Mr. Ames recelvod the eighty per cent dividend in bonds and sold them for ninety sovon per cent, and also recoived tho sixty per oent. cash dividend, which together with the price of the stock and interest, loft a baianoe of $329. This sum was paid over to Mr.Garfield by a check on the Sergeant-at-arms

and Mr. Garfield then understood that this sum was the balance of dividend after paying for the stock. ** From tin Now York Times, Fob. 19, 1BT9. Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present a most distressing figure. Their participation in the Credit Mobilier affair is complicated by the most uufortonate contradictions of testimony. From the New York Times Feb. 90., 1379. The character of the Credit Mobilier was no secret. Tho source of its profits was very well known at the time Congressmen bought it. Though Oakes Ames may have succeeded in conccaliug his own motive, which was to bribe Congressmen, their acceptance of tho stock was not on that account innocent. The dishonor of tho act as a participation in an obvious fraud, still remains. Some of them have indulged in testimony With reference to the matter which has been coutradictod. The committee distinctly rejects the testimony of several of the membors. This can only be done on the ground that it is untrue. But untrue testimony given under oath is morally, if not leguUif, perjury. j It is tho clear duty of Congress to visit with punishment all who took Credit Mobilier stock from Oakes Amos. From tho Now York Tribune, Fob. 19,1879. James A. Garfield of Ohio had ton shares; nover paid a dollar; roceivod $3211’which, after the investigation bogan, ho was anxious to have considered as a loan from Mr. Oakos Amos to himself. Well, the wickedness of it all is that theso men betrayed tho trust of the peoplo, deceived thoir constituents, and by ovasions and falsehood confess the transaction to bo disgraceful. From tho Now York Trlbnoo, Fob. 90,1578^ Mr.Amos establishes very clearly tho point that ho was notalono in this office. If he is to be expelled for bribery, the men who were bribed should go with him.

I I «> Is a compound of the virtues of sarsaparil- , la, stillingia. mandrake, yellow dock, with tbe iodide of potash and Iron, all powerful blood-making, blood-cleansing, and life-sps-tainiuK elements. It is the purest, safest, and most eiTortual altorativo medicine known or available to tbo public. The sciences of medicine and chemistry Uavo never produced so valuable a comedy, nor one so potent to core alf diseases resulting from impure blood. It cures Scrofula and all scrofulous diseases, Erysipelas, Uose, or St. Anthony’s b'lre, Pimples aud Face-grubs, l’ustules, Blotones, Boils, Tuuiors, Totter, Humors, Salt Rhoum, Scald-head, King-worm. Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial Disease; Neuralgia, Female Weaknesses and Irregularities, Jaundice, Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia, Emaciation, and General Debility.

tsv its scarening auu cleansing qualities It purges out tho foul corruptions which coutamiuato tbs blood and cause derange* meut and decay. It stimulates and euiiveaa the vital functions, promotes energy and strength, restores aud preserves health, and infuses now life and vigor throughout the whole system. No sutTerer from any dis* ease which arises from impurity of the blood need despair who will give Avan's Sarsaparilla a fair trial. It is folly to experiment with the numerous low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials, and without medicinal virtues, offered as blood-purifiers, while disease becomes more firmly seated. Avan's Sarsaparilla is a medicine of such concentrated curative power, that it is by far the best, cheapest, and most reliable blood-purifier known. Physicians know its composition, and prescribe it. It lias been widely used for forty years, aud bos won the unqualified confidence of millious whom it has beuotited. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Practical and Analytical Chemists. Lowell, Mass.
