T.--1860.—X. ee ae Persons of sedentary habits tronbled with weak- ne #, laseitadé, palpitation of the heart, lack o appetite, dictresa after eating, torpid diver, con stipation, &e., deserve to enffer if they will mot try the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS. which are now recommended by the highest medi- eal authorities, and warranted to produce an im- mediate beneficial effect. They are exceedingly agreeable, perfectly pure, and must supercede all othertonics where a Bealthy, gentle ctimulant is required, They purify, strengten and invigorate, They create a healthy appetite. They are an antidote to a change of water and diet. They overcome efiects of dissipation and late hours, They strengthen the rystem and enliven the mind, They prevent miarmatic and intermittent fevers They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach. They core Dyspepsia and Constipation, They cure Diarrhea, Cholera, and Cholera Morbus. They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head- ache. They make the weak strong, the languid bril- iant, and are exhausted nature's great restorer, They are composed of the celebrated Oalisaya bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roote and herbs, all preserved in perfectly pure St. Croix ram.

Examine every bottle, fee that it has D, 8, Barnes’ signature on our pri- vate U.S. Stamp over the cork, with plantation scene, and our firm signature on a fine steel plate neraving on side label, See thatour bottle is not refilled with spurions and deleterious stuf.

THE DemoonaTio RaTivicaTION MEETING came off as announced on Satarday night, and several tbousand people eolieeted in front of the City Hall during the evening to listen to the addresses and witness the fireworks, which (the fireworks) were certainly exeelient. A stand had been erected at the steps on the side fronting towards 4% street. Behind the stand and suspenced from pillar to pillar were two large flags, and immediately over the space occupied by the speakers was an arch, upon which were inscribed the names of the several States, Pennsylvania occupying the central position The stand was brilliantly iliomi- nated with gas lights. The tursont in the line of procession was not 80 Lumeronus as bad been expected by the un- terrified, as only a few of the promineat Dem- ocrats of the city—especially of the central warde—appeared in the line oron the piat- form. A profusion of transparencies. aad banners, however, served togive quite a lively appearance to the » and by stretch. ing out the line, two abreast, and enlisting a number of boys as banmer bearers, the most ‘was made of the limited numbers. The Georgetown McUlelian Uinb, with A. Teagle as marshal, left their hal} headed by a drum and fire, and one or two flags, This club had upon their transparencies the fol- lowing inscriplions:—«The unterrified are coming Father Abraham.” «Toall whom it may Concern—McOiellan and Pendleton shall be victorioas in November.” +A free ballot or a free fight.” “Theonly oiticalty 2 the way of an amicable adjustment is the Republican party—Douglas.” ‘*No Union tarough bay- onets—Johkn Quincy Adams.”? * With the ab- elitionisis the rights of property are nothing— Henry Clay.” “This war ought to be conduct- ed only for the reetoratien of the Union * “Our Aimy, Navy, and our Volunteers deserve the nation’s gratitude.” «Citizen soldiers act ever within, Lever without the law.” “Citizens of color are pot admitted within the Democratic car.—Reason— Musk’ « Miscegenation— No more of that Abe, an’ youloyeme.” “Uan an Ethiopian change his skin!’ “The Union must he preserved at all hazards.” — McClellan. «The Union 1s the one condition of peace.” — McClellan. ‘No peace can be permanent with- out Union.”—McClelian, “I do not wish to act in the dark,”—MeClellan to Halleck. ‘You have done your best to sacrifice thie army.”"— McClellan io Stanton. “A declaration of rad- ical views, especially upon slavery, will rap- idly deplete our present armies.” —McClellan to the President. The First Ward club joined the Georgetown club at the Circle,and continued the mareh down Pepneyivania avenue, frequently cheer- ing and being cheered by squads of three and four as they passed different points. Dr. Joice, Wm. H. Forrest and Jesse Mann were the mar- shal’s of the First Ward club, which was also beaded with martial music and flags, and car- ried transparencies bearing inscriptions as fol- lows :—* First Ward Democratic Olub;’ “The Constitution as it is and the Union as it was;”? «“ Negro equality with white fanatics;” “ Free- dom of speech, freedom of the press;” «The provost marshals are ordered to draft without delay—Stanton;” “To whom it may concern— ) more; ‘| We shall have no draft—Sew- ard;’ “Qur toreign policy, the Monroe doc- trine;’ Our home policy, America for white men;” Our highest law, the Constitation;” «Peace on earth and good will toward men;” «The eagle and the cross, the symbols of lib- erty and redemption;” « The Bible, the echool- house and the press;” “George B. McUlellan, President of the United States; Geo. H. Pen- dleton, Vice President; look out for a victory over tyranny;” « When the wicked ruleth the people mourn.” At the corner of 1{th street and Pennsyl- Vania Avenue, the Second and Third ward clubs, the former under the marshalship of J. W. Clampitt and George A. Scott, and the latter marshalled by E. F. Queen, joined in, These delegations were composed largely of mere boys who did more cheering and made more boise than all the men in the crowd. As the procession passed the flag at 9th street ; and the Union League rooms on 9th street, they howled and groaned loudly. When passing the Patent Office they were greeted with cheers and waving of handkerchiets by some; indivi- duals on the steps. A closer observation re- vealed the fact that the parties thus cheering them on was composed largely of negroes, a fact the nnterrified dia not seem to relish, judging trom remarks made by a number of them. These clubs had upon their transparen- cies the following inscriptions: «+ The Candi- dates are Peace and War. Who do you vote for!” «North and South, the Constitution and Law.’ “Sheatn the Swerd and saye the Uuion.’ “In Peace people Prosper.” “Io war Tyrants usurp power.” ‘Enforce the Law.” “Buchanan's Administration cost $50,000.000, and Lincoln's _ #400,000,009."" «Justice is the monument ofour National Glo- yy.” “Geo, B. McClellan the Nations pride.” «I give the women ten days to leave the city of Atlanta, Gen’l Sherman.” +My personal liber- ty is dearer than life.” ‘Hail to our Chief.” “The Democrats are coming.” ‘Benten’s mint drops, versus Greenbacks.” ‘Trial by Jury.” “No more illegal arrests.” “Free press, free speech, free elections.” “Lincolns hope, the cartridge box.” ‘-Shoddy’s hope, greenbacks.”” “Our last hope, the ballot box.” The Fourth Ward club marshalled by Chas, H. Utermeble, and R. M.A. Fenwick, joinedin at the corner of 7th and F streets, and the line of march was down 7th street to Pennsylvania avenue. Inscribed upon the transparencies of this club were the following :—“This reminds me cf a joke, 4th Ward.” “Yourselfor your Substitute.” “Graves, widows, orphans, and t_xes.”” Manufactures, the engines wheels are clogged and mechanics shops are closed with war.” Commerce, the shiv of state heads against the sesof blood.” ‘Agricultura, the ylow is stopped by cannon balls and the farmer taken as a sacrifice.” “Not to old Abe bat to litle Mac.” “The Conservatives are coming, the whole country 1s coming.” “Democrats are coming, aud Whigs are coming.’’ One of the tranparencies carried by this club had upon it a device representing Mr. Lincoln splitting the Union, and headed “The renowned rail-splitter at work.’ The Union was represented by a log, and some one (intended for Mr. Lincoln) was splitting it open.

The former are represented as having 8 large crowd east of the Capitol, and the latter celepration is repre- sented by a crowd of negroes amusing them- selves in the President’s grounds. At the corner of 7th street and Pennsylvania Avenue, the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Ward delegation, whieh had come up 7th street from Maryland avenue, fell promptly into line. The Fifth ward delegation, d by a band of music, left Langley’s Hall, corner of 3d st. east and Penn'a avenue, about 7 o'clock, and proceeded to the headquarters of the Sixth ‘ward, 7th and G street. The Fifth ward turned out tolerably strong, numbering over one hun- cred, and had with them a howitzer which ‘was kept in advance and every few minutes was Among the trans ces borne in the line were some containing the following representations: A victorions cock crowing over & dead one, the latter designated as Lin- coln; “the winning hand (4 aces) and the iron hand of tyranny.” +‘Nobody burt.” * Vox populi, vox die,” “The le the source of power.” “Our liberties must not be invaded. “I have the impression that I shall not last much longer.”—Lincoln,. “It is easier to pay a small debt than a large one.” ‘If there is an: man out of hell whosuffers more than I do, pity him.”—Lincoln. “Sboddy and niggers need not apply.” ‘“E-cher will lead all who believe in the doctrine of Sharp’s Rifles.” «Re- publicans believe black is white only & little more so.” «The Constitation asitis, Union as it was.” “The last man and the last dollar.” “The four great Generals—General Peace, General Plenty, General Satisfaction and Oa ine yer ward headquarters the club At the Six PsA and it took position in the eras fons hae Tn the bornood ‘ifth Ward.

The whole proceesion then moved down Pennsylvania avenue to 3d street, and groaned st the Lincoln flag at 7th street, and Iaetily cheered the McUlelian flag opposite the rooms ot the Democratic Association. The proces. sion moved up 3d to OC, along © to My, and thence to the City Halk the Fi Warders fre- quently blazing away with their howitzer, and ail of the delegations puttiog off Roman oan- dies and other fireworks atintervals. Arrived at the City Hall, it was found that the meeting had been organized before the arrival of al the delegations by the election of How.

Mr. Kendall suid he was unable to make a speech, but be announced himeeif as devoted to the work ot securing the election of the Ohi- cago nominees. Mr. Kendail was elected chairman, bot Mr. Tom Fiorence was such de facto, for it Was at his instance that Mr. Wm, Flinn read a long list of vice presidents and secretaries, and be aiterwards introduced Mr. J.

Mr. Florence put the question, and the res- olutions were adopted. He then introdaced a Mr. Wm. D. Parsons, who denounced the aa- ministration and announced bimerif as anew convert to democracy. Before Mr. P. had con- cluded the several ward delegations arrived, and the transparencies were huddled together upon the platform. After order had been re- stored, Mr Tom Florence again stepped for- ward and introduced Mr. Wadsworth, of Ken- tncky, alsoa newconvert. He was followed by Capt. Wm. J.

Mr. Tom Florence then made another speech, and was followed by Mr. R.S. Davie, after which the assemblage reed, amida fine dirplay of fireworks, and with cheers, Early in the evening epeekes took positions on the two wings of the Uity Hall, and ad- dressed those in that vicinity. At these stands Specenea were delivered by Dr. Charles Allen, . S. Davis, J. W. Clampitt, F. A. Aiken, a Mr. Swartz, Dr. T. G. Clayton, and others. Mr. F.A. Aiken was chief marshal of the celebration, and performed his part very cred- itably. There was a band of music upon the center stand, and at intervals it discoareed excellent music, which, with the fine pyrotech- nic display, no doubt attracted handreds of those present to witness them; for by circu- lating among the crowd it was evident that only that portion in the immediate vicinity of the speakers’ stands syespenions with the pur- poses of the meeting. Though it would not begin to compare in numbers and imposing dis- play with the immense Union demonstration at the Patent Office in ratification of the Balti. more nominations, yet it was certainly a good- sized and spirited meeting, and quite creditable to ite engineers, especially in view of the draw- backs they experienced in the way of a failure of prominent citizens supposed to be of their way of thinking to co-operate with them, at least publicly. It will be noticed also that none of the prom- inent epeakers announced were present, and that the gathering was obliged to content itself with the somewhat stereotype utterances of the Parker’s Hall stock company, including com- edian Geary and his trained “roosters.” ee Tump Warp Drarr Megrine.—Between two and three hundred citizens of the Third Ward assembled at aompereres Hall, on Sat- urday night, to take further action in relieving the ward from the draft. Mr. N. D Larner resided, while Mr. E.F. McKean acted as ecrelary. Upon calling the meeting to order, the Chair stated that the Bacon exemption club was holi- ing a meeting up stairs, and as it was desirable to hear what action fy took in rejation to al- lowing members to withdraw their money, the first business in order would be the reception of contributions and reports of committees. Mr. J.H. Blake here announced that while standing in fro: t of the hall during the evening, he was approached by a colored man, who said, that although, he was a hard working man and not liable to the draft, from the fact ot being over age, he desired to contribute $3. His name is Robert E. Turner, (said Mr, B.)a citizen of the Third Ward. At the request of the colored man the speaker handed to tbe chuirman of the meeting $5. The Chair (Mr. Larner) remarked that this act was certainly worthy ofimitation, and sug+ gesied that the Pay had better call upen the colored resident of the ward, as many of them would no doubt contribute. The Secretary read a letter from 8 substitate broker at Alexandria, who offered to furneh eight substitntes at S200 each. ‘he Chair remarked that several substitate brokers had called to see him, and offered to furnish substitutes, which showed that the men were to be obtained. The Chair here announced that the Bacon Exemption Club, or speculating club, had voted against allowing its members to with- draw their money. The citizens of the Third Ward had $11,%0 in that club, anda a aes tion had been made to the club by the ci to release all claims if the club would vote the ward fond $5,000. Mr. J. S. Hollingshead thought the ward could get through without the $5,000, but if not, it could be replevied. ai Mr. T.H. Dorian was called upon to make a statement as to what transpired in the meetin; of the Bacon Club up stairs. Mr. Dorian he went to the meeting with the determination to withdraw his money if they would let him. and if not, he did not intend to say anything; but while there some gentleman made some pointed remarks in relation to those who de- sired to withdraw. He (Mr. D.) attempted to defend these ies, and got @ “little hot,” when the meeting broke up iu & row. Mr. George Marr said that heunderstood the Citizens of the Third Ward had $11,000 in the club, but would relinquish their claims for $5,000. He went to the meeting to make the hegre be was hooted down, and was glad make his escape. The tresmurer of the ward fand (Mr. Job ‘Angus) here reported that he had upon his books and cash in hand $5,756. [Note.—Befare the close of the meeting this sum was swollen to 86,500 by the returns of the collectors and the amounts subscribed by parties in) the The Guair sata there had been some miscal- culation heretofore, and they had not done as well as expected. He therefore suggested that ratio peoed ua ame Mi of iz aed and increased their subscriptions; and the Chair appointed four addi collectors to obtain contribu’ tion of the ward that they could dos9. ‘The Chair, in reply to a question as to when the draft would jace in the Third Ward, replied that it was the ward would be drawn within three days. Mr. E. R. McKean said that many of the cit~ izens of the ward had not been called upon, but it-was almost impossible to colléct the meces- sary amount in soshort a time.’ If the wealthy men (remarked the speaker) would ‘advance the money, t.e substitutes could be procured ne er as soon ee Tr. su, Soi pemetes Corer u vanced a large sum: iis, Foun .
