T R A S R — Buosinces Notices CmeeriNG FAcTS FOR THE Bruiovs. Every day demonstrates mors clearly that Liver Compleint, in vl ita distressing form, can be coutrolied and cured without difficulty or inconvenience. Itisan obetinate disesws, but its obetivacy is not proof against the pertinacious, remedial and restorgtive deration of Hosrerre's SroMacu Brrrens. That genial corrective compels the organ fo its duty. Tt must secrote regulmly and hesltbfully under the influence of the Bitters. Their action briogs It back from & state of rebellion into perfect harmony with the laws of health. If there is costivevew, it dissppears; if there is sidesche or backache, it coased; If the skin and the whites of the eyos are tinged with supecfiuoas bile, they recover their natural e, if the appetite is gone, it returus; if the digestion is fmpaied, it e restored ; in brief. whatever the symptoms of the complaint may be, «od whatever the phase it has axsumed, a cure is certain. Such are the uniform effects of this preparation where bilious disease has been already developed ; but in cases where thers is merely a conatitutional tondency to liver complaiat, 1t may be prevented throughoot life by the regular use, in scall quabtities, of this palatable ntidote. These are proven facts, and should be seriously pondared—or, rather, they #hould be promptly acted upon—by all persous of billous habit. Tr WiLL RELIEVE TiE BABY.—There is no m aboot it. Blrs.

The news from Maine proved very enfee- bling. The Platform Committée will probably report that there hasu't been an election in that State. e e extract from a letter to a gentleman in that city. It contrasts nicely with Gov. Throckmorton's message: “JRPFERSON, Texas, Ang. 22, 1366, “FRiesDp WiLL: This is 2 great country.

The United States would not be bullied into helping the Fe- nians.” Thus the Democrats who have begged the Irish vote for so many years now give the first move- ment for Irish freedom such abuse as this! 'Tisan ungrateful world. Mr. Finnefrock, one of Mr. Johnson’s new friends in Ohio, and candidate for Congress in the IXth Dis- trict, made this appeal during the war: ** Demo- crats, arm yourselves. Go armed to the polls. Resist the draft, for if blood is to be shed, it might as well be shed in Sandusky County as in Abe Lincolu's slaughter-pens.” Can any one inform us of a single Copperhead who talked in this way of Mr. Lincoln *who does not now hurrah for Johnson ? 1 Enthusiastic receptions were given to the Sonthern Loyalists last evening. Plymouth Church was crowded, and in addition to the immense meeting in the Cooper Institute, one equally as large was held in the open air. Gov. Brownlow, Senators Fowler and Stewart, Maynard, Stokes, Moss, and Wilmarth were among the speakers, and eloquently narrated the wrongs the loyal men of the South en- dare. Gov. Hamilton's hoarseness unfortunately pre- vented him from speaking. At Plymouth Church a dispatch of congratulation from Mr. Beocher wag un- expectedly received. We present a full report of each of the meetings. The Legislature of New-Jersey yesterday ratified the Constitational Amendment so far as the House is concerned, and passed it toa third reading in the Senate, where it was stubbornly fought, but all the Republican Unionists stopd shoulder to shoulder, and their one majority, including Mr. Scovel, proved suffi- cient. The ratification will be perfocted forthwith— perhaps to-day. No other business is to be taken up but the choice of a U. 8. Senator, which cannot be made till next Tuesday, The Hon, Alex. G. Cattell of Camden will then doubtless be chosen. The call for a State Convention of soldiers and sailors opposed to Mr. Johnson's policy, to meet at Syracuse, which wo print to-day, is signed by two oolumns of names, representing every regiment which loit the State to fight for the Usion. Unugestionably they speak for the great majority of their comrades, | Davis is not tried or the chatge af adsnssination’ re- ' and wo could not ask a better augury for the gnccess | tracted? of our cause at the polls than the indorsement of the Army and Navy. Throughout the war the soldiors’ yote was overwhelmingly cast against the policy which Mr. Johnson now upholds, and the humblest corporal who now remains true to his prineiples on which the war was fonght shames the President, who Dbotrays them. As surely as tho Rebel Statos should obtain repre- sentation unconditionally in Congress, would Slavery bo virtually redstablished? Already Johnson's policy begins to make emancipation a farce. In Alabama, & fow days ago, two negroes wero sold into alavery for debts they tiad incurred before tho war,amounting in all to $13. It is nseless to attempt to explain away this slave-dealing into a milder punishment, for one ot these freedmen was bought for $600 and the other for 750, Men do not spend such amounts of money without making the investment pay, and the selling of froodmen for petty debts, with this precedent, will, unless the Government interfores, become common throughont the South. One of the most painful tasks that could be given to Mr. Boecher would be the careful moading of his own sermons. How shocked he would bo to find in the volume for 1864 suoh passages as these: A that permits peace to come until they have set God's siguet U’fiz.- m on this infamons -vn'l‘z‘r-m treasm, wll themselves be guilty of that war and that treason. And when rmll made we mean tuat all nations shall noderstand bow ateful. unjust rebellion Is, and how des, on earth among won, and in hell among the damned, e those who turmoil 8 pation with blood and revolution. Now you can do what once &- oould not have dons. Once you would havo sacrificed the nstitation if you had meddled with the loyal institutions of the States, but when by their own act the States Aave put them selves the pale of the Constitution and its o8, and broken it, and we are obliged to go_in with the of au- thority and penalty, then wo can do and must do, and it isa eyt 19 o whit ton years ago it woald have beea s érime to have done.” In comparing hia recent lotters with thoso bold words who will not feel sad at heart to think how onsily the preacher had forgotten his own preaching. —_— MAINE. The State of MAINE is 80 belted by custom-houses along its thousand miles of frontier, and so permeated by revenuo officers, open and secret, of every sort and fashion, that we supposed the disponsers of Ex- ccutive manna could not fail to gain on us in this week's olection. OF their five candidates for Congress, four had boen Republicans; the Republican offico-holders voted with halters round their necks, while the Copperheads wero stim- ulated by the prospect of earning a custom-house berth oach and another for their children. Never Dbefore had & minority so fair a ohance to make sweep- ing gains as had the Johnsonites of Maine in their late contest. And (not reflec that Montgomery Blair had boen belping us there by making Johnson spooches) wo did believe that they would reduge our wajority of last year by several thousands. Yot thoy are boaten as never before—not morely beaten, but routed. It is a regular Appomattox. The Governor, by nearly 30,000 majority—all five Repre- sentatives in Congress by majorities of 2,500 and up- ward——all thirty Senators—seven-eighths of the House and a moral certainty that Haxwsar Hamux will Do returned to the Unitad States Senato for six years from the 4th of March next—such are the trophies of @ victory rarely exceeded in completeness or.in im- portance. The vote is heavier than that cast for Prosident in 1864, and the majority at least Tem Thowsand larger than Lincoln's over MeClellan. What more could be asked? “ Maiuo bas settled the Boundary Question between Liberty and Despotism,” said Judah Hammond, an- nouncing the result of her eloction twenty-six years ago. She has now settled, by an overwhelming ma- jority, the drift of the popular eurrent, and rendered it morally certain that Johunsonism will find no ark of refuge in any of the loyal States. Let it not bo forgotten that the Republican tri- umph in Maine has boan achieved by WoRK. Rarely, if ever before, was the State so well canvassed as this year; never were the efforts of the true Uvionists more aystomatic, persistent and effective. By pub- lications and speeches, the people have been thoroughly enlightened; by organisation and effort, the laggard have beon brought to the polls. Our friends in Meine bave triumphed nobly, because they bave nobly sought and deserved success. Let the lesson be everywhere noted and beeded. JOSEPH HOLT—JEFFERSON DAUIS —SAN- FORD CONOVER. Judge-Advocate-General Holt has published, a **Vindication of Judge-Advocate-General Holt from the Foul Slanders of Traitors, Confessed Perjurers, and Suborners, acting in the interest of Jefferson Davis.” In so faras it confines itself to its proper work, we deem this Vindication complete. Gen. Holt was duped by the arch villain who called him- self Sanford Conover, as others had been before him. Deceived by Conover's lies, he gave that scoun. drel credence and money which might have been Dbetter bestowed. Conover, thus_supported, snborned other villains to commit perjuries confirmatory of his own—all of them received and accredited in perfect good faith by Judge Holt: but, when the House Com- mittee proceeded to investigate them, some of the second-hand rascals recauted and confessed their per- jury; whereupon Conover, though he stoutllf reiter- ated and stood by his original imposture, soon took oceasion to vanish, and has since remained invisible. | Of course, his whole fabric of villainy falls to the ground. —8nch are the material facts in the case; and they nowise impeach the integrity of Judge Holt. Hewas | simply the victim of an atrocious scoundrel. Bat the Vindication proceeds to say that *The endeavor of the conspirators to protect Davis from the charge of complicity in the assassination of Presilent Lincoln ‘must be vain. It is true that tbat portion of ‘onover is at this time the confusion 1aised voeate-Genersl, would Lope to bav Nat this is all theanaterial testi mouy upon whioh the carge is based.

ABOUT JACKASSES, A loarned corrospondent lately sent usa ponderous exsay, intondod to show that the ass was once held in high estoem for his wisdom, which was counted s0 great that many nations folt thoy could not expréss their sense of it short of paying the beast divino; honor. That they did so, our correspondent’s essay! Joft no abadow of doubt on themind of the adventur-" ous person who waded through its long list of citations from ancient wrifers; but why they did so, the learned pandit left unanswered. Whether the buman race was, at an eacly period, when atill in a state of ohild- ish innocence, profoundly struck with tho tremendous length of Jack's ears, and looked upon them as fun- nals for the reception of all the wisdom uttered within the radius of the horizon; whether the bland expres- sion of his countenance struck our forefather Adain as indicatise of an intelligence that, having weighed creation, is not to be astonishod nor disturbed at any- thing that may happen; or, whether its resolute way of planting its fore foet like a rock, when it has once determined to pursue a certain policy, and refusing to budge for any amount of blows or blandisbment, con- vinced the first of the race that tried to make bim of service, that a beast that understood so well what he wanted, and valued his own opinion so highly, must be a being of superior power; whether one or all of these reasons combined bad weight to ground human beingsin & belief of his extraordinary intelligence, and to induce them to honor him with their best, we cannot tell. OQur correspondent, who seems to know everything, is dumb on the aubject, and we are loft to our own resources for an answer. But, whatever the reason may be, we may con- sider the facts as settled. The ass appears to bave risen from one station of trust and responsibility to another, until at length he attained to the highest position which it was in the power of the people to bestow. Ho became the recipient of divine honors. Enthroned in the temple, ho ate the choicest proven-. der. Hay that had grown on the slopes of the sacrod mountain was cut with golden sickles by virgin priestoases for his peculiar eating; three days in the woek ho had cakes of barley meal mixed with honey, and three days’ cakes of oatmeal mixed with attar of roses; the prettiest waiter-girls supplied him with un- failing lagor; he was shampooed 16 times a day; his teeth were cleaned with the sozodont of the period; his shoes were blacked by slaves who were in no hurry to get at another customer; while the High Priostess herself continually sang to him— “Come sit thee down upon this flowery bed While I thy amiable cheeks do coy, And stiok musk reses in thy hu,{un boad, And kisa thy fair, large ears my gentle joy.” To which blanishing strain, whatever might 1 #¥ secret inclination for a very different sort of treat- ment, the prudent animal carefally abstained from making any reply whatever, Thus, living in clover within the temple, the treatment outside of it be- stowed upon all the croatures of his kind was corre- spoudent. Nothing was too good for them. They were the chosen beasts for kings, princes, priests and prophets to ride, and they appear to have had a good time of it on the whole. The best of food, housings of purple and cloth of gold, nets of pure Nile flax studded with jewels, in fly-time, silver shoes, and bells of silver aud gold—whatever could make the beast happy was given hen he brayed, all the people fell flat, and ate dirt as if it were bread-and-butter; when he stuck out Lis fore feet and seemed to say! “This is my policy,” all the tribes met in Convention and applauded his firmness and resolution as little short of divine. Even when the brute in him mani- festod itseli—and thero were some people shrewd enough to see that, in spite of his office, he was a brute, and & mean one, too—and when he would kick out his hind feet at the very people who had fed him, .and clothed him, and lifted him up from the low po- gition in which he was born, to the high one he filled with such ludicrous gravity—when, striking out, right and left, he killed bere and maimed there— even then, the unkilled and the unmaimed cried “Hosanna!” and ate the dirt he scattered, as if it were more bread-and-butter than ever. And thus things went on for a long, long while, and the ass became a tremendous power. But, at length, one ass made a blunder. Hitherto, no mem- ber of the family had ever spoken a word. They had made their way by preserving a decorous silence, and letring their long ears, t! was in consequence of a clear understanding on their part of what would inevitably be the effect of an op- posite policy, as it is believed by the negroes to be on to talk, preserve a careful silence, lest men should | make them work, if once it were known—or whether | sage faces, and their de- | Whether this | the asses were dumb, because they really bad nothing to say, can never be determined. Asses have written autobiographies and histories, but we have searched | them in vain for a resolation of this difficulty. For whatever canse, however, this long silence was pre- served, there came a day when it was broken. The | learned are in doubt as to what ass first spoke; but | our Holy Seriptures, which have put so many facts, | not get-at-able in any other record, down in black and white, have left no doubt on the subject possible. We are there clearly informed that the great blunderer was Balaam’s ass. He opened his mouth and spoke. And it was a sad mistake, and proved the rain of his tribe. Siuce that day, as everybody knows, the name of ass has been | held in disrepute. To call a man ** an ass,” is an in- | sult not lightly to be borne. Even in the base and | craven North, where, as is well known, there are no ; gentlemen, a person who bas been written down an ass is not content till be has called the offender namwes in reply; but in the gallant and chivalro: Sonthron land, the abode of festive dames of high de- | gree, and cavaliers with blood of the purest Proosian bine—there, to call » man an asz, is to reccive an im- linte and peremptory invitati him to spill your blood through s bullet hole. To such a low ebb ix fallen the lofty bonor of a name that once com- | manded the loyal homage of the universal human heart. And all for a speech for while this long-eared brate, with his sober face, his sturdy hoofs and his portentous bray, was able to wmake pebple beliove he was fit to preside over them, to be tLeir Captain, and the Captain of their Captains, to set up and to pull down, to bind and to loose—a single speech—aud it is to be remarked tbat, whenever the ass speaks he always says the sawe thing, =0 that all bis many speechies may go for one—n <ingle specch has settled ks business forever. 1t is nothing to the purpose, now, that he has risen from the lowest place to the bighest—his constant reiteration of that fact only makes people more and more ashamed when they hear it. It is all in vain that they try fo excuse themselves for their In vain do they plead that, the real King Dbeing dead—a King whose kingliness there was no disputing—this sly brate, by some hocus-pocus, managed to make them think he was the dead King's twin brother, and so got the place he dis- | graces. In vain do they try to convince us that, by | an untoward accident, whisky of an uncommon po- tency was mixed with his bran instead of honey. The disgusted reader of these speeches insists that it there Le, as the old proverb declares, * truth in wine," there is no less truth in whisky, and that, however unfortunate these utterances may be, how- ever low, however coneeited, however ruffianly, they still come ont of the ass's own nature, and represent him with unerring truth. It seems 4 pity, at first Qlash, that the original ass should ever have betrayed his race by the utter- ing of that untimely speech; but, after all, is it not better that wo should have some infallible way of infatuation, | that under the provisions of this section they will not be re- | quiring all casks to b e e— knowing an ass, when wh meet him? And, beside, though what he says be disagreeable, as God knows it is, what he does is of far more importance, and whou an asy spoaks to us let us remember that wo havo good authority for believing that, *‘out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketb,” and take good heed that in future we have our speech before, rather than after, the election is made. P ————— The N. V. Times thus speaks of the vote of gress increasing the pay of its Members: ““ The extra $2,000 was panpese. "To0 Fensioad Morabors are fhas pat ia posseadin of w'p“:'-fnnlu fand. amounting to something over $300,000, en directly out of tbe publio treasury, and distributod among the mem arty every ono of whom is to be a can- didate for resieotion, It waa proclaimed befors the session closed that Congress must be sustained by the resloction of ite prosent members. It is now clear that this Inou:r of pay v--mdmrwllulmbynhmhm is to b brought about, —All which impels us to ask: 1. Has the Editor of The Times taken ** the extra $2,0001" 2. Does heor does he not presume that he will need it to secure his reéleotion ? 3. Dare ho lot his readers know that the proposi- tion to increase the pay of Congress was moved in the House by Mr. Niblack of Ind., and in the Senate by Mr. Riddle of Del.—to bitter Copperheads? 4. Dare he lot theni know that, while a large ma- jority of the Democrats in the Houso voted for the increase, a majority of the Ropublicans voted against it? : 5. What did be do, or try to do, to prevent this increase of pay ! 6. What Democrats, if any, bave refusod the extra pay ! —Lot us have light! Con- ——— The Evening Post and The Times both seck to iden- tify Tne TrisuNg with the peculiar views of Thad- deus Stevens, well knowing that we differ widely. Mr. Stevens would confiscate the property of the more prominent Rebels, or a part of it; we desire Universal Amnesty with Impartial Suffrage. But Mr. Stevens is 80 able, honest and fearless in his obampionship of Equal Rights and Equal Laws that we can admire and honor him while dissenting from certain of his opinions. * So much for Mr. Stevens; and now wo reiterate our request that The Post shall state distinctly whether it approves in substance of the resolves of the late Re- peblican-Union State Convention at Syracuse, espe- cially of that one which prescribes the terms of recon- struction? Does it or does it not favor a ratification of the pending Constitational Amendment by the next Legislature of our State? And does it or does it not desire the redloction of Gov. Fenton? Wil it answer Mr. Blair does not seem to have frightened Boston by his threat of a new civil war. In reply to his assortion that the South would not endure exclusion, The Jonrnal energetically *begs leave to tell him that it is too late to crack the plantation whip at the North; that the South had to submit, that it does submit, and that it will be ground into the earth if it attempts to robel again. Mr. Blair will discover in due time that the day for bullying the Free States has goue past, never to return. The whip was potent here once; even at a threat, large classes of our people would bow the knee to the pro-Slavery Baal; but, as the French ouvrier shouted after Lo Phillippe’s fall, “*c'est trop tard" to revive tha tradi- tions of the old regime to-day. Such attempts will only serve to arouse a spirit of just indignation, whose fruits the authors will be the first to reap. P —————) Montgomery Blair, in his speech at Boston, unin- tentionally obtained the entire approval of his Re- publican auditors by an apt historical parallel, not wholly after the manner of Plutarch, but good enough and true enough for all that, He spoke of the diffor- ent mothods adopted by Jackson and by Buchanan toward the Southern Secessionists. Jackson threw a thousand men iuto Fort Moultrie; he issued a warn- ing proclamation; he declared that he would lead Federal troops against them in person; he threatened to hang every traitor whom he caught in arms. ** But how different now—how different now,” exclaimed Blair. A roarof laughter showed that the Republicans appreciated the ejaculation. The unfortunate speaker then tried to change his phraseology; but his corree- tions failed to make as strong an impression as his | original remark. The N. Y. Times, in commending the late Message of Gov. Orr, proposing that Civil Rights shall be accorded by South Carolina to negroes, sees ft to say that “In others of the Southern States, action has been taken 1o % to the same result. Ful vil rights are accorded to the enfranchised slaves; provision is made for their education.” —Will The Times declare what States have accorded “fall civil rights” to the freedmen? and will it cite the acts or parts of acts whereby ** provision is made for their education The Evening Post speaks of Mr. Greeley as *a self- | appointed negotiator in Canada”—knowing well that | the fact is not so—that Mr. Greeley was not only sent to Niagara by President Lincoln, but sent sorely against Mr. G’s will and in spite of bis earnest re- monstrance. But what cares The Post for truth? ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. p MAIND! ot e TUE MAJORITY THIRTY THOU! Spooial Dispetch to The N. Y.
