DISTRESS IN THE ISLE OF MAN.

In our immediate locality, though hitherto no.
subject to much public remark, distress, deep and
widespread distress, exists, and that too, regret
to say, amongst class hitherto occupying rest
pectabe station in society. As direct issue of the
recent mismana cement of our circulating medium,
and in great measure In consequence OF the ruin
which that Encouragement so extensively entallad
we have at the present time absolutely no trade;
artisans of every description, joiners, mIsons PAIN
ters, and those belonging TO nearly every other
cupatlon, have been many weeks out OF employ
ment; the result we need not repeat. Ii is far from
being the pauper population alone who are now in
a state of misery and desttutlon; have the names
of scores OF individuals, the heads of pless ami-
lies, who, if they could find work could easily earn
from l2s to Dos per week, in absolute starvation,
willing, indeed, to work, but ''ashamed to beg"
AS an illustration, we may here record the fact,
that one day last week the wife of respectable
artlzan went to the brewery In this town and pur-
chased twopenny worth of the grains usually sold
for the purpose of feeding cattle and pigs secretly
creeping away without paying that trihng sum-
The person in charge of the brewery desired one of
the workmen to run after Mrs. -, and say, ''she
had forgot to pay for the grains.'' The man fol-
lowed, and overlook her when she had reached
home. Having entered the house, to his astonish-
ment he there beheld the poor woman, with her
husband and four children eagerly devouring the
grains--not having tasted food for four days And
we are daily informed of laborers and tradesmen
similarly ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in a state of
actual physical exhaustion for Want of food and the
cries OF their he pless children for bread continual
ly piercing their hearts.-Wona's Herald.

DEMOCRATIC OMINATIONS OF CANDI-
DATES FOR THE PRESIDENCY. :

In different states perceive that portions OF
the Democratic Press suggesting their favorites
for general adoption candidates for the Presiden-
cy by some future convention, TO be called from all
The states of the Union. 1t is natural, perhaps,
that such partial expression of local or personal
preferences should precede an universal movement
Ii Is evident, however, that the great body of the
democracy do not contemplate any immediate ac-
tlon IN reference TO the choice of any whom
TO embody Its strength the next presidential cleo
tlon 1t is fortunate, IN possessing In Its ranks at
this moment a constellation OF elevated minds I'M
bued with genius, requirement, experience, princ-
pies. moral and political, which requiring no aid
from station TO give them distinction, will not suf
fer the conflict of personal local partialities in
their favor, TO mar the harmony now so essential
10 re-estabiish the ascendency the common cause
of their party, and the public welfare Is identified
with 1t. ....
Whenever the selection of democratic cand-
date shall become the engrosslng topic of conver-
satlon with the party II will then become the duty
OF the Globe 10 lay before the country impartially
all the views which may be advanced In different
quarters In regard 10 the eminent men who may be
presented as best calcullted 10 accomplish It's great
objects. Until that period shall arrive, we think
our duty will be best discharged by abstalnlng
from publish ing any thing having re erence TO the

follow public opinion The popular Will express
