1t has appeared by return of the votes given at the
late General Election in this County, that Mr. Andrew
Gray, who was a candidate for the General Assembly
and Mr.. Charles l. Dupont, who was candidate for the
Levy Court-had full vote of the Democratic epub
can party in several Of the districts and amongst Others
in Pencader hundred. 1t has been suggested me from
various quarters, that was blamed with this deficiency

The following remarks on the utility Of warm
Bathing are by the intelligent Editor Of the Troy
IN. Y Register:
1t is unnecessary for US to enlarge upon the ut-
ity of warm bathing the experience of all nations
the history oil the healing art, and every mans glow
ing sensations upon coming from bath, unite their
testimony on this subject, and declare, if we would
enjoy one Of the simplest, most delightful and sau-
ltary OF uxurics we should frequently resort to the
warm bath.
II is common notion that bathing is OF importance
to the health only in the summer Butthis is great
mistake. 1t may ind eed, be of more importance for
the single purpose of cleanliness, for dust and per.
piration, require more frequent abuons in hot
weather than in cold. But this is far from being
the most important use of bathing. To clear the
pores OF the skim TO soften the conractions produced
by cold, to open the small vessels and tubes that are
designed TO carry the circulation to the very surface
the great & saluts~y effects of bathing In pro-
ducing these effects, We perceive at once how ba-
thing promotes health, especially at this Of
the year, when we are exposed to autumnal levers
and how il prepares the body for the rigors of win
ter 1t is, also, obvious that the bath should be hot
not merely tepid, or luke-warm, but considerably
warmer than the body. Heat is very subtitle fluid
and like all other fluids seeks level, or an equilb-
rum. If you go into bath somewhat colder than
your body, your body loses heat; it imparts its
warmth to the water till both are at the same tenn
peraturc. The chill which is felt upon coming
from such bath is evidence OF this fact, and shows
that the system has been injured rather than bene
flied, But il the bath be warmer than the body, the
balance of heat is produced by the waters Impair
ting heat to the body, and the operation Of it is &c
give grateful impulse to the action OF the system
and send the blood brskly to the surface and the
tremities, opening the channels, clearing away OBJ
slructions, and dtfusing glow over the body, anc
a quiet Joy the mind, which are the unimpeach
able WITNESSES of health, and the perception Of
which is luxury.
