If coiled to the Presidency I should deem it my duty to resist with aU my power any attempt to impair or evade the full force and effect of the Constitution, which in every article, section and amendment is the supreme law of the land,—[General Hancock's Letter of Acceptance. Republicans are looking anxiously toward Maine. _ Morton C. Hunter has been nnable to take part in the canyass np to this time. _ _ The 13th of thia month will tell how deeply the Mplnmed Knight" is to be buried. Mb. Isabdebs is meeting immense crowds and making many friends wherever ho goes. Pendleton thinks the contest in Ohio will be dose enough this canvass far Democrats to bet on. Bosooe Conklins, the ladies' man, !i to furnish some Republican chin* musio in our State this month. ■ n imr '| The thirteen Joint discussions between Landers and Porter will bring out a world of people at each point. Ts* Republican committee were mistaken in supposing Landers would not meet Porter in joint discussion. He wants more of them than Mr. Porter feels safe in accepting. Hates' card introducing Arthur, the nominee of the Chicago Convention for Vice-President, to the general public, ran in this style; "With a deep sense of my obligations under the Constitution, I regard it as my plain doty to suspend yon, in order that the office may be honestly administered." Merritt is collector in the port al New Vork and Conkling has decided upon his destruction. He demands his removal or refuses to go into the campaign. The poor man's head will bo in a charger to the furious little man whose intellectual oaanon is expected to belch the loudett of auj Republican gun in the b|ttle.

Krebs asserted in the last issue of the Press that the Democratic glee club wagon polled to pieces on the way to the Landers rally, and that, too, in the face of positive evidence that the statement wos false. Now, what does the man hope to gain by persistent lying, when thousands know the trnth about the matter which he knowingly misrepresents. Tax last issue of the Press republishes an article which appeared in the columns of the DsKocaaT of August 20th, which article was taken from the New Albany ]<edger-Standard and credited accordingly, as the editor of the Press well knows. Now if Bro. Krebs has any fight to make over this matter let him bounce the Ledger-Standard man. from whom he borrows so liberally of “stuff” against the Hon. Franklin landers. Tns Democratic dianffoc lion in the Southern part ot the State seems to t e undeniable. Conversions to the BepubUoan party are reported oonstantly and in oonsidei able numbers. Still we shonld advise the Bepeblioans not to count on that sort ot recruits to c wry the State.—[Indianapolis News. The last sentence betrays the inwardness of the News in advising Republicans not to count on these pretended gains. The Democratic party in the Pocket were never so thoroughly organised an I determined as now. We can name converts to Democracy by the sore, but do not know of any loss whatever. The Democrats of Chickasaw county, Miss., met at Okolona, and passed regulations denouncing Wm. H. Kernan, the late editor of the Southern States of that place, as a coward, Radical emissary, drank ard and hireling, whose utterances la his newspaper have been written t« make Republican capital in the North i The resolu tions assert that Kernan went Sooth from Ohio as a carpet-bagger in 1877, and was paid to write the crazy editorial articles whioh brought the States into notice. Kernan is now a writer on the Chicago Tribnns, and is engaged in vigorously denouncing the South

era people. And now comes the announcement that Dr. Tanner is an importer and did not fast for forty days. It is claimed that the water administered to him was in reality a South American beverage well known for its f'oroegiving qualities. Tie information appears to have been communicated by the divorced Mri. Tanner. Ijt is really too bad to have a revengeful women tear down finch a mountain of fame asTanner’s starvation had reared for him. It tells badly, however, for the army of distinguished medical gentlemen who guarded him through the trying ordeal that they should not discover that he was being nourished by food in solution. We guess Mrs. Tanner was dream! ng when she hnrled this bolt of destruction upon the head of the medical martyr. ■ ■«■!■» Speaking of the man Garfield, the Frankfort Banner says: The boys who wore ti le blue will vote tor him booaose ho was one or them at (ho front. How long was he "one of them at the front?” We find by an examination of the records that he left the army in July, 1862, to canvass his district for Congress, while being r eported on the army rolls as absent on sick leave. After the election he returned to the army, and from March 4,1863. until his resignation the following November he dre w a salary both as Congressman and a Major General. He resigned in the darkest d|ays of war, when theissne was uncertain and every man was netded in the field, and took his seat in Congress. Such "carpet soldiers” the men who d{d the fighting have little respect for,—[Daviess County Democrat. - . in. . .1. We counsel Democrats everywhere to bear patiently and without trouble the gross insults Republicans here offer them at evecy opportunity. Remember, we are scoinv ud. they are

■ •«. . * Was the Reporter too Severe? The Press man became furious when he permed the Indianapolis Daily Sentinel of the 23rd of August in which was found a report of the Landers meeting at Winslow and also the following blessing for Republican bulldozers in our town: The meanest and most malignant Republicans In the Stats live here in the town of Petersburg. I was astonished to And the reeling exhibited here towaiil Democrats. It amounts to absolute hate, and their breeding and manners are ao miserably bad that they do not know how to act decently. I have been in nearly all the southern counties at Indiana with Ur. Landers, and everywhere we have been treated kindly and respectably, and the RepnbUcana ere have met have always bees real gentlemen and ladies, but here in Petersburg the manner la which the Republican men and women acted toward Mr. Landers and his Democratic friends convinced me that a lecture on good manners and the oeurteay due tram one gentleman or lady to at other would have about as much effect; upon this people as would a snow-ball In hell. They are an sncivilised bund of heathens ancl all the stones of Southern outrages and Yasoo oounlsy practices fade Into insignificance when oompared with the acts and meanness of the Repuliiioans of Petersburg. It has only been a few years since Democrats were allowed to speak in public bore. If they attempted such a thing they were set upon by Republican shoul-der-hitters and beaten into an nnreoogniiable mass of bleeding humanity, for no other reason except that they dared to say they were Democrats. B at time, that great leveler which sooner or later sets all things right, increased the Democratic ■ voters and sentiment here, until now the Democrats have the proud satisfaction of lenowifig that thby can get up larger and better demonstrations, grander processions, more beautiful glee club wagons and enthusiastic siegers than any the Republicans have ever gotten up, and it makes them mad—madder than a bull in a China shop, and the more angry they get the less sense they exhibit. This, of course, naturally follows, bat It is the anger that precedes des truction. “Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad” was not written in vain, and I miss my guess badly if the time does not sorely come when it will be more pleasant employment to bo a lamp-lighter in bell than a Republican shoulder-hitter in Petersburg. The above ought to have been qualified by mentioning that a fear ladies aud gentlemen of the Republican persuasion demeaned themselves properly amidst the jll-msnnered and spiteful demonstrations witnessed doring Mr, Landers' visit to onr town and county. Some of onr Republican citizens extended to Mr. Landers and the gentleman accompanying him. (Mr. Ar

ford) the nicest courtesies, using every reasonable endeavor to prevent their being Insulted and to make their visit pleasant Such as did this onght to have been spared the punishment which a general blow inflicts. But it is not too severe upon the guilty when the treatment they extended to the gentlemen is understood. They came in quietly and without show and were driven to the residence of Mr. W. P. Knight and entertained as his gnests. The Oakland City band, which was In town, serenaded Mr. Landers, to which he responded In a nice little speech full of pleasantries and good cheer, After Mr. Landers had retired some brainless, heartless, soulless, infamous vagabond or vagabonds mado an effort to egg him and were discovered before they had succeeded in accomplishing their dirty, despioable, sneaking, cowardly work but not before they had broken two rotten eggs on the frame of the window opening in to the gentleman's room. Nor was this all: on Tuesday morning both men and women indulged in the following remarks within hearing of Mr. Landers ; "Look at the old beer-tab—look at the old whiskey bloat.” Mr. Arford is a very bad cripple whom limbs werq, drawn out of shape from wounds received in the Union army; he was designated the “Democratic monkey” and was compelled to endure these taunting remarks, if he ventured upon the street. Does any one with intelligence and decency sufficient to understand an insult suppose that a man whose only business is to write up meetings would preparo a flattering report for the members of a party that had treated him with snch indignity? Not It was a shameful, uncallod for exhibition of low-down, groveling deviiishness and political meanness that ought to be put upon hugo posters and sent as far as the cry of "bulldozer” has gone. It ought to ; rAVVi A.in nmlAP ihoiv* cr*»n an A vhKnlrn

whut little sense such wretches here nntil they have learned that men in opposite parties hare feelings that all true’ man and womanhood will respect. Let Democrats Bead. Ilie following correspondence from Princeton appeared in the Evansville Courier of August 27th. It explains itself, and we ask for it a careful reading: Martin W. Fields, of this place, has announced himself through our county papers as an independent candidate for Prosecuting Attorney in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, composed of the oouuties of Qlbson, Pike and Dubois. This circuit has about 2,000 Democratic majority, and it is difficult to divine how Mr. Fields expects to be elected without getting a large Democratic) vote; and how he expects to got this vote is past finding out. He is a good lawyer and a olever gentleman, but as rank and bitter a Republican partisan as ever hurl^i an epithet against a political foe. He has never uttered a word lu private or publio'that would load one to believe that he thought an honest or patrlotio impulso beiit in a Democratic bosom. In all his speeches for four years ho has branded the whole party as robots, traitors and ignoramuses. Ho can’t open his mouth in a political speech or in a closing argument against an unfortunate criminal without this gall flowing out in disgusting prafnsion, and one is led to believe that his whole nature la nothing bat bitterness. Two or throo days after Garfield’s nomination at Chicago, he made a ratification speech at OwenaVJ tlo, and among other things said: "Young men, I beg, I entreat, and I bray yon not to abuse yopr manhood by voting the Domooratio ticket. Tho-Democratic party is unworthy of your support. It is a party opposed tafprogross, opposed to schools. and embodies in ItTranks the Ignorant and the .vile. And finally, fellow Republicans, I say to you one and aft, vote for no Democrat, but vote tho Republican SfSS "P *>«*> Pudency of the United States.” This speech was made before the gentleman osnoeived the Idea that maybe he oould be elected Prosecutor by Demooratio votes. Sinoe he beoamo an Independent candidate he is not making any speeches becaueo there is “policy in war.” - Ho can not delude Democrats into his support, and Mr..Taylor, the regular Democratic nominee, will be elected by the usual Demooratio majority. Pbince. Bemarkable Coincidences. [New York Sun.] About the time that General Hancock fought the battle of Gettysburg tleneral Garfield turned his back to the front and went Into politics* About the time that General Hancock issued order No. 40 at New Orleans, Mr. Garfield was negotiating at Washington with Oakes Ames for the shares in Credit Mobilier on which be afterward received a cash dividend Of #829.

ENGLISH OB ABTHUB, WHICH A Plain Statement for Thinking People. (.Indianapolis Sentinel.] The political professions and prom* isos of candidates for offices amount to little, and it is far better to jndge them by their conduct when they have been intrusted with political power. Were they honest and faithful to the trust confided to them ? Let ns for & moment apply this test to Arthur and English, the candidates for the Vice Presidency. Ur.^Arthnr was intrust* ed with the collection of the United States revenue at the City of New York. Was he faithful to that trust? This question has been answered in the negative by the highest Republican testimony in the land, and it is too clear and emphatic to be called in question or explained away. a Here Is wbat Hayes and John Sherman said of this same man Arthur not long sinee. It to Republican testimony and should not be questioned by Republicans: With a deep sense at my obligations under the Constitution, I regard it as my plain duty to suspend you in order that the office may bo honestly administered.—]K. B. Hayes to Collector Arthur, January SI, 1919. Gross abases ot administration have continued and increased during your incumbency.—[Sherman to Collector Arthur, January SI, 1819. Persona have been regularly paid by you who have tendered littlo or no service; the expenses of your offioe have increased, while its receipts havo diminished. Bribes, or gratuities in the: shape of bribes, havo been received by your subordinates in several branches of the Custom House, and you have in no oase supported the effort to correct these abuses.—[Secretary Sherman to Collector Arthur, January 31,1879. Now wo have soon what Secretary Sherman and Hayes said of Mr. Arthur, let ub see what was said- of Mr. English when he was intrusted with political power. President Buchanan wrote to Mr English as follows: nIt was your fate to end a dangerous, agitation, to confer lasting benefits upon yonr conntry, and to make your character historical. I shall remain always your friend. If I had a thousand votes you should have them all with a hearty good will.” And now let us see what his constituents said when he retired from office. The Convention which nominated his successor, adopted unanimously the following resolution: Strived, That In selecting a candidate to represent this District in the Thirtv-anventli f!nn.

great, we deem tt a proper occasion to express the respect and esteem we entertain for our present member, Hon. W. H. English, and our confidence in himjua pnblio officer. In his retirement, in accordance with his well known wishes, from the position of Representative, which ho has so long filled with credit to himself and benefit to the country, we heartily greet him with the plaudit, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” Again: Mr. English was for fifteen years intrusted with the management of one of the most important financial Institutions in the West, from which he voluntarily retired with the thanks of the directors and stockholders. “For the very great financial ability constant watchfullness and perfect fidelity with which he has managed it from its organization to the present time.” And thiB resolution was offered by Col. John C. New, now the Chairman of the Indiana Republican Central Committee. 0 Hero then is the whole case in a nnt shall: English was faithful to the pub* lie trust committed to him, and voluntarily retired, with the praise of his administration and the unanimous plaudits of his constituents, “well dope, thou good and faithful servant,” whereap Arthur proved recreant to his trust, and was kicked out of his office in disgrace, “in order,” as President Hayes and Secretary Sherman said, “that the officetnight be honestly administered.” These are not partisan statements, but plain unvarnished facts which honest thinking people will not fail to consider in making up a judgment as to which of these two men it would be safest to intrust with public office.— State Sontlnel. * Arthn^s Cheek. [St. Louis Post-Despatch.] If a more gorgeous and picturesque spoctacle of ohoek can be found in the annals of politics than the following nicely worded and woll written passages in favor of civil service reform, writton by Chester Arthur—late Collector of Now York and still Chairman of the Coukling machine State Committee—wo should like to hoar of It r

[/JrUhir-! Letter of Acceptance.] Tlie resolution referring to tho public service seems to me deserving of approval. Surely no man should bo the Incumbent of an office tho duties of which ho is for any cause unfit to perform, who Is lacking in tho ability, fidelity, or integrity which a proper administration of such office demands. This sentiment would doubtless meet with gcnoral acquiescence, but opinion has been widely divided upon the wisdom and practicability of the various reformatory schemes which have been suggested, and of certain proposed regnlatidns governing appointments to public offices. The efficiency of such regulations has been distrusted, mainly because they have seemed to exalt mere eduoational and abstract tests above general business capaoity, anti oven special fitness for tho particular work In hand. It seems to me that the rules which should be applied to the management of tho public service may properly conform In the main to such as regulate the conduct of successful private business. Original appointmonts should be based upon ascertained fitness. The tenure of office should be stable. Positions of responsibility should, so far as practicable, be filled by tho promotion of worthy and efficient officers. The investigation of all complaints and punishment of all official misconduct should be prompt and thorough. These views, which I have long held, repeatedly deolared and uniformly applied when called upon to act, I find embodied in the resolutions, which, of course, I approve.

[flayer mi Sherman on Arthur"t Character.] You hit to made the Custom House a center )f partisan political management. — R. B. 1 layer to Collector Arthur, January 31, 1879. Gross abuses of administration hare continued and increased during your incumbency.—Join Sherman to Collector Arthur, January 31. 1879. With a deep sonse of my obligations under the Constitution, I regard it my plain dnty to snspend you in order that the omoe may be honestly administered. —R. B. flayer to Collector Arthur, January 81, 1879. Persons have been regularly paid by you who bare rendered little or no service; the expenses of your oflioo have increased, while its receipts have diminished. Uribes, or gratuities in the shape of bribes, have been received by your subordinates in several branches of the Custom House, and you have in no oaae supported the effort to correct these abuses.—Secretary Sherman to Collector Arthur, January 81, 1879.

And this same Arthur, who upon (he fullest investigation and discussion of the subject was removed from the? Customhouse by the act of the Soorotary of the Treasury, the act of the President, the unanimous act of the entire Republican Cabinet, and the overwhelming vote of Senators from both parties—this same Arthur, who to-day manages the "machine” in New York as chairman of the State Committee—who never drew a political breath that did not come out of the "machine,” so to speak—this same Arthur now delivers a lecture to the Amorican people in favor of civil service reform I We would really like to know what candid end intelligent Republicans think about this. 4[f Tweed had delivered a lecture on reform and honesty in politics after his foil from power it Would have been a greater joke.

gp»-— : -- Please, Don't Throw Mud. [Fort Wayne Sentinel.] * “Please don’t throw any more mod, kind Democrats,” are the cries which come forth from the Republican pa* pen. “Ton let Garfield alone and we won’t say a word against Hancock. We don’t like- personalities,” “Poor creatures! You hounded poor old Horace Greeley to his grave with yonr mud throwing. For four years you have assailed Samnel J. Tilden with a storm of slander and vituperation. Yon have tried to hide the record of yonr own party by assailing the Democratic candidates. And now, to cap the climax, yon hare nominated for president, a man who, according to yonr own newspapers and yonr own congressional committees, is a perjurer and bribe-taker. This corrupt man— this servile tool of the lobby—this paid attorney of gigantic rings—you wish to place in the White House. His candidacy is an insult to decency and honesty, and it is the duty of every Democratic journal and speaker to keep his record before the people from now nntil November, that they may know just what kind of a man the Itopublicana ask them to elect to the presidency. Let them whine about mud-throwing. The mud sticks. That’s the tronble. It can’t be rubbed off. The Democratic papors are not publishing stale slanders, or campaign stories, or invonted “roorbacks.” They are printing sworn evidence taken by a Republican congressional committeo the findings of the same committee, and the comments of the leading Republican papors .of the country. All of them are to the effoct that James A. Garfield is a perjuror and bribe-taker. The Republicans are welcome to throw mad at General Hancock to their heart’s content. It won’t stick. Gen. Hancock’s record is as pure as the snow, and the radicals can’t ovon get up a plausible story against him. National Democratic Platform. The Democrats of the United States in convention assembled, declare >- First—We pledge ourselves anew to tho constitutional doctrines and traditions ot the democratic party as illustrated by the democratic statesmen and patriots, and embodiud in the platform of the last National Convention of the party.

Fourth—The subordination ot tho military t< the civil power and a genuine and thorough reform ot tho civil service, Fifth-The right of a free ballot is the right preservative of all rights, and must and shall be aimntalned in every part of the Unitod States. Sixth—Tho existing administrtion is the representative of conspiracy only, and its claims oi right to surround the bal lot boxes with troops and deputy marhals to intimidato and obstruct the doctors and tho unprecedented use of tho veto to maiutain its corrupt and despotic power insults the people and imperils their Institutions. Seventh—The great fraud of 1876-77 by which upon a false count of the electoral votes of two States, the candidate defeated at the polls was declared to be President, and for tin? first time in American history tho will of the pcoplo was sot aside under a threat of military violonoc struck a deadly blow at our system of representative government. The democratic party to preserve tho country from the horrors of a civil war,submitted forthe time iu firm and patrio tic faith that the people would punish this crime in 1880. This issue precedes and dwarfs every other. It imposes a more sacred duty upon the people of the union than was evor addressed to the conscience of a nation of free men. Eighth—We execrate tho course of this administration in making places in tho civil service a reward for po|itfoal crime and'demand a reform, bystatute witch shall makWitforever impossible for itlie defeated 'candidate to bribe hie way to the scat of a usurper by billeting villains upon the people.

Cathartic Pills Combine the choicest cathartic principles in medicine, in proportions accurately adjusted to secure activity, certainty, and uniformity of effect. They are the result of years of careful study and practical «- periment, and are the most effectual remedy yet discovered for diseases caused by derangement of tlie stomach, liver, and bowels, which require prompt and effectual treatment. Avmt’s Pills are specially applicable to this class of diseases. They act directly on the digestive and assimilative processes, and restore regular healthy action. Their extensive use by physicians in their practice, and by all civilized nations, is one of the many proofs of their value as a safe, sure, ami perfectly reliable purgative medicine. Being compounded of the concentrated virtues of purely vegetable substances, they are positively free from calomel or any injurious properties, and can be administered to children with perfect safety. Avrr’s Pills are an effectual cure for Constipation or Costlveness, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite, FOul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness, Headache, Loss of MemoiTr, Numbness, Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism, Eruptions and Shin Diseases, Dropsy, Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Colic, Gripes, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, - Gout, Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all uisuniors ut uiu uivuiy win an other diseases resulting from a disordered state of the digestive apparatus. As a Dinner Pill they have no equal. While gentle in their action, these Pills are the most thorough and searching cathartic that can be employed, and never give pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and then their influence is healing. They stimulate the appetite and digestive organs; they operate to purify and enrich the blood, and impart renewed health and vigor to th» whole system. r-' Prepared by Dr. J. C.
