CENSUS OF l83O.-Wc subjoin state
mcnt of the entire census of the Union,
taken from those public ations of the CEN
sus of the several States which seemed
most entitled to respect. 1t differs from
the statement lately published in the n.
York American, both in the aggregate
and in most ofits particulars, and exceeds
the estimate of the whole population then
made, upwards of 36 900. We know,
however, that the American has UNDER
rated the numbers, both of Pennsylvania
and Virginia. 1t is greatly to be wished
that document so important to the states
man, the economist, the philosopher and
the geographer should be given to the
public as soon as practicable, and with
all possible accuracy. A somewhat
greater interest is felt in the subje here,
: in consequence of some Of the Profess
sors, as a trial Of skill in political arthmc-
tic, having more than twelve months
since, made conjectural estimates of the
census Of 1880. One of them estimated
the whole population at l2, 1888 900, the
other ut 1880, 900. 1t appears that
they were both nearer than the Census

The Grand Lodge of this State has
published an address to the people of
Rhode-Island, by way ofjustifying them
selves against the vile slanders which
have been so long, and so industriously
circulated against that body and the fra
tcrnity generally. The address is writ
ten in spirit of great candor and for
bearance, and will, we should think, sat-
isfy the mind Of every honest man that
shall read it, Of the malicious intentions
of those who have been the means of
provoking the Grand Lodge to make this
appeal.

every inyeterate drinker complains, es-
pecially in TIE morning. To this diff
Guilty may be added an ardent and in
cessant longing for the accustomed
stimulus. Surrounding tle inner coat of
the stomach is the muscular coat, on
which all its motions and contractlons
depend. This is sometimes thrown into
irregular or spasmodic contractlons, at
tended with pains and cramp OF the
stomach, of which hard drinkers also so
often complain. The appetite too be-
comes impaired or entirely destroyed. -
Here the influence of habit, on which
| have dwelt, is worthy of particular
attention. The daily use of provoca-
tives of appetite, as they are teemed,
in the form of slings, juleps and bittcrs,
will in time incorporate. their effects
with the action of the stomach so init
mately, that perverted nature flags, and
is unable to pursue an even step, with
out the spur of an ordinary glass. 1T is
almost proverbial, that great rum-drlnk-
ers are little eaters. But | will turn
from this unpleasant subject, with the
remark, that. diseases of the stomach
produced by such cause, are amongst
the most difficult for a physician to
manage.
The stomach is remark able for the
sympathies it holds with the other or
gans. All severe diseases Of the body
affect the stomach with loss of appetite,
and oftentimes with nausea and even
sickness. 1t seems to be a concentrate
ing organ Of morbid sysmpathics. But
then it is also radiating centre, and
when diseased, produces various and
complicated symptoms in other parts. In
this way the disorders produced by fit
of intoxication are communicated to the
rest of the system, producing depression
of spirits, and indisposition to mental and
muscular exertion, with dizziness and
pain of the head, throbbing of the tenn
pies, parching heat in the palms Of the
hands, foulness of the mouth.--lp a word
the midnight debauchee, when pouring
down his copious draughts of intoxicating
liquors, may be said to be tillrg a Pan
dora's box, that will open its lid in the
morning, and dltiuse misery through ev-
cry vein and nerve of his prostrated and
polluted system.
s. The Skin always betrays a mans
intemperance. A flushed cheek and red
and swollen nose, are always the first
symptoms of spirituous excitement. The
blood vessels are more easily reused in
to action than in other parts ofthe skin.--
Even the ordinary mortificationsanp dis
turbances of the mind, are manifested by
the blush of shame, or the flush of anger
When the blood vessels of the face have
long been over distended by the stimulus
of ardent spirit, they seem to lose their
natural contractillty, and cause bloat-
ed aspect Erysipelas and several other
cutaneous diseases, that would otherwise
have remained dormant in the system,
are often reused into action, and those
cutaneous affections which have previ-
ously existed, are rendered more obsti-
nate and inveterate.

May, twelve hours later than our previ-
Gus accounts. We find nothing of mo-
ment new, in relation to the affairs of
Poland. The report is confirmed that
Dwernicki had entered the Austrian
territory with 1000 men and l6 pieces
Of cannon, to escape Gen. Rudiger, and
asked protection Of Austria against the
Russians, which was granted to him ac-
cording to existing regulations.
The Standard Of May 10th, says,
awe understand, on good authority,
that negotiations are actually entered
into, under the mediation Of Austria
and Prussia. Count Lebzeltern and
General Mufflng have, it is said actual
ly arrived at Warsaw for the purpose.
The Russian Army is acquiring acccs-
sions Of strength from the Asatic PROV

telligcnce of rise in the French funds

tercst. This advance was followed by
great animation in the English stock

The Jackson party advertise a Con-

The Jackson party advertise a Con-
vention to be held at the Court House
this evening, for the purpose of dclib-
Grating upon the expedency of nomi-
mating candidates for Representatives to
Congress, in opposition to those agreed
upon by the National Republican Con-
veniion. The Jackson party is very
much divided and split up, in relation to
this question. The most discreet and
judicious Of their leaders are decidedly
opposed to running an opposition ticket
at present. But the hot-headcd, head
long, and ndiscreet portion of that
party, which by the by, is quite the
larger potion, are bent on having an
opposition; and the only reason they
give for pursuing such course is, that
it is absolutely necessary in order to
keep their men together until they shall
come to be a "big' party, as the
writer in the Republican would say

CURIOSITY. In the last Rhode-l Island
Republican we observed very curious
article, written it is presumed, by cer-
tain lille literary gentleman who fills a
"big" office under the present admins
tration. We should feel obliged to that
man who should be so fortunate as to be
able to reduce the materials of which that
article is composed, to the understanding
of men Of ordinary education. The ar
tlclc 10 which we refer is headed "I'HE
HoRRoRs OF PRoscRIrTIoN"; and was
intended we suppose, as a mastery and
learned justification of ALL the removals
from office which have been made by
Gen. Jackson. The writer treats of
"ihe Scholar"-"a cruel and Jloodu era
Of Roman History"-of "Sylla the Die
tator," SC. &C.; and then exclaims in the
following mysterious language--"Is Of
flee a property, such vested interest,
that the People, who through their RE-
PREsENTATIvE bestowed can never re-
sumei" To this truly difficult question,
we readily confess IRE can furnish no sat
sfactory answer. But we find in the
same paper, another article containing
the following sage advice:-Tfthc truth
of matter be hidden in obscmiiy, let us
suspend our judgment until evidence OF
a rational and conclusive nature can be
adduced." In this particular instance,
We shall both from necessity and choice,
follow the advice given by this learned
"counscllor."
