Notes on the Census.--One of the Cincinnati papers
furnishes the following interesting calculations based
on the last census returns of the United States:
"Therc occurs, between Is and 25, one death in
oil between 25 and 35, one death in 43; between
IS and AS one death in rs; between As and 50, one
death in 54 between SIS and 65, death in 81 be-
tween SO and IS, one death in 10 between IS and
S. one death in 1875 between IS and 30, one dea
in ll2; between 80 and l05, one death in ll6.
"The laws of life and mortality between the sexes
are very remarkable. They may be stated thus;
al In the present condition Of the white popula
ton Of the United States, the number OF females
born per annum is about twelve thousand less than
males This determines of itself that polygamy Is
not natural condition Of man, and that the laws OF
nature and religion are the same-that one man shall
be the husband of one woman.
80 At twenty years of age, the females exceed
the males. This proves that, between birth and
twenty, mortality among boys is much greater than
among girls.
80. From twenty to forty, the number of men
much exceed that of women, which shows that this
is the period of greatest mortality among women
-. From forty to seventy, the difference rapidly
dimnshes, the iemals, in the early part OF life,
gaining on the males. This shows, that this is the
period of greatest danger, and exposure to the
least to women.
as. From seventy onwards, the women outnum-
Der the men. This shows, coDcusively that rela-
lively speaking, in comparison with men, the health
lest period of female life IS the close OF IT. Abso-
utey however no period t. either Sex, is so healthy
as that of YOUTH the blooming period of boyhood and
girlhood.

TRUE DEMOCRACY.

WaisA's Speech Ut 1ammany Hall
Mike Walsh is no ordinary man--he is ge-
Mus. He speaks truly in saying that the work
ing classes have, in all ages, been made the in
struments of lyranls 10 accomplish their selfish
purposes. And it is truly sorrowful reflection
to think that these ''noble classes" have never
attempted TO redeem themselves.
But they will redeem themselves, and it will
be done first in America. This is the country
in which the farmers, mechanics and la5ofers,
may easily assert their rights and maintain
them.
And what rights do the rich enjoy, that the
poor are not entitled to- In war, the poorer
classes pour out their blood freely, and crown
their country with the laures ofviclory iii peace,
" these noble classes" bring forth all the pro-
ducts of the earth A; the palaces Of cities are the
work of their hands; and the stately ships that
plough the ocean are built by them, and manned
by them.
The Constitution, the charter of our liberties,
guarantees TO the laborng classes the same rights
and privileges that it does TO the rich and high
born the Government could not exist without
them; and the country is indebted to their
prowess, courage, virtue, and intelligence, for
all its honors. Yet they suffer themselves to
be condemned, insulted, and trodden under foot
In battle they are TOO often commanded by the
starched and periumed sons OF rich men; in
peace they till the earth TO feed the tender
handed drones they build fine houses, and the
rich inhabit them; and they navigate the seas
TO fill The purses Of aristocrats with the gold OF
distant lands.
We are no leveler; we would not seize
upon the property of the rich and divide
it among the poor. Every man is justly
entitled to what he obtains in a law
having the same privileges and advantages in
political matters, as are exercised by the rich
The Constitution makes no difference between
them, and no distinction should be tolerated
If the country is invaded, the poor man does
as much fighting as the rich one, from
the day before A poor mans vote counts as
much as rich mans, and their ballots are mix
ed up together in the same box. Why are they
not upon an equality in the governmental af-
fairs of the country? Is it not enough that the
poor man fights, and delves, and sweats for the
rich2 Must he also be "hewer of wood and
drawer Of water in politics? No! Such is moi
the pure Democracy contemplated by our Revo
lu,ionary fathers.
And yet what is The fact? Why nne-tenths
of the offices filled by the sufrages of the labor
ing classes, are in the possession of the college
bred sprigs of the professions This should be
reformed, and it ariH be ere many years eapse
The Democracy must sooner or later produce
an equal representation of all classes.

TYLERIsM AT A DISCOUNT IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE

The Coos Democrat, speaking Of the attempts Of
TYLER and his adherents TO thrust themselves among
the Locos, gives them the cold shoulder. 1t says
"Why is il that traitors from the democracy are
his favorites broken down and dishonest dema-
gogues are fockiDg to the White House, like foul
birds attracted by the loathsome scent Of corruption
Ii is because with all the sembance he puts on, John
Tyler Is no democrat-because though driven TO the
wall, and furiously assaied by the Wing leaders, his
heart still rankes with prejudice against the firm
and consistent democracy Of the country.
The Concord Patriot endorses the above.
We advise the "Coos Democrat TO be more
chary Of his eloquence. The Republican party
in this country know their indebtedness 10 John
Tyler, and will not be dissuaded by the ultraists
Of either or any party from evincing their graft
tude in the way and manner they think best
They are confident he has done more for the
cause of his country, in rescuing It's institutions,
and protecting its welfare from the violence Of
faction, than any man living, and those who
attempt the futile task Of diverling the popular
current now setting strong in his favor had bet
ter turn their efforts TO stopping the rush OF the
Mississippi, or sitting the roar of Niagara.
