drunken husband and father, infuria,ed
with liquor, his family can have very
little enjoyment, except in the short in
teryals between the fits, or while nature
lies bound under the psralyzing hand OF
so potent foe. One hour he is rsving

like dog. Now, whether drunk or

may be, it must and will give way to
such powerful opponents.

WARRINGTON, MAY "a.


We per. by the Shawneetown
{1liinois) Gazeue, that the Hun. d. 7.
Cook, the present Representative in
Congress from that State, is announced
a candidate for reelection. Mr.. Cook
has always been prominent, respecta-
Bile, and efficient Representative. In all
the struggles Of party, in all the hea' and
turmoil of political contest, he has main
tanned his ground. With an unremitted
attention to the interests OF his own
State, he has united corresponding en-
ergy OF action. He has suffered no OPP
portuni,y to escape OF bringing before
Congress every measure which could
benefit that section of the Union: and
has spared no exertion to urge it on to a
successful result. Wherever he has
failed, it has been where no one could
have succeeded il has been against OBJ
stacles which no talent or industry could
surmount. We are happy TO find that,
during The late session, Mr.. Cook, as
member of the Committee of Ways
and Means, has been assiducus in his
attendance, and his labors to acquire thai
financial knowledge of the country which
will, hereafter, enable him to occupy
still more conspicuous station in the
public eye. MAJ. Journal.

The evening session commenced with
a call OF the House, there not being a

As soon as a quorum was obtained, Mr..

on the various bills from the Senate,
which were about thirty in Number; oil
these about twenty were disposed Of, The
greater part of them being passed.
About midnight there being no quorum,
a call of the House took place, which
carried so far as to close the doors at

apologies. The further proceedings
were then dispensed with, and the House

FOR THE SPECTATOR.

ON DRUNKENNESS.-NO. II.
The world is full of disorders, and all
appear engaged to deprive men of their
ability to do good, as well as of their
lives. This being the case, we would
naturally suppose that prudence would
direct the minds of rational beings, to
such pursuits as would the better tend
to secure both bodies and minds from
those disorders which disqualify for use
full stations in life. But do men thus
order themselves Some do; but in
very many cases they do not appear
much concerned fer future good, or use
fulness. Many are not SO prudent as to
be inactive, but, without consideration
or care, plunge headlong into habits de-
structiye to morals, good society, good
intellec,s, and good constitutions. Such
are some of the effects of Drunken
incapacitating men for business in its
first stages it has this effect only in the
fit, but ultimately it blunts or destroys
the senses, and puts the patient beyond
all possible recovery. We have only
TO take survey Of the effects produced
by drinking ardent spirits, and then we
shall be pressed to acknowledge, that
the most useless men in the world are
those who are in the habit Of drinking
ardent spirits.
Base as it is, still it appears
Dsqualifying men of years
For station, useful in their lives,
In church, OF state, for husbands, wives.
Ii is supposed by anatomists that the
mind acts upon some or all Of the nerves
in the brain, by which it receives intelli-
gence Of different objects, through the
organs Of sense sand that these again
act upon the mind so that the mind and
the sensitive nerves are tempered for
each other; and while in good health,
and respiring good air, there IS very lit
tie danger Of thinking too intensely; but
as spirits act on spirit, add a double en-
ergy 10 the mind, and all these acting
upon the nerves, they are unable to sus.
tain the weight, and insanity, momentary
or continual, is a most certain conse.
quence; however momentary, tho nerves
are never able to return to their original
energy. Now if you find or place him
