INFLUENCE OF DIET ON THE
MIND.

The character Of mind, has Outing all
ages, been supposed to be considerably
under the influence Of diet. Hippocrites
in his Treaties on Diet endeayers to es-
tablish that all men are born with the
same amount of mental capacity, and
thai the difference which in after life, is
discoEerable in the minds of the. human
race is altogether to be attributed TO the
food which they have eaten. A diet
purely animal, is said to give vigor and
energy to the miRd as we'll as strength TO
the body. This was the notion of Prior,
who in the 'Alma,' asks
Was ever Tartar fierce or cruel,
Upon the strength of water4gruelf-
But who shall stand his raging force,
When fret he rides, then eats his heTsei'
Fuseli, The painter, was in the habit Of
eating raw meat for the purpose Of en-
gendering in his Imagination horrible fan
cies and it is related Of Mrs. Radcliffe,
that when she was writing the Mysteries
of Odolpho,' she ate uncooked meat fOr
the same object. Whether the desired
effect was produced, canuot say. The
ancients had some absurd notions on this
subject. With view Of making Achilles
hero, he was fed on the marrow Of hons.
There can be no doubt but that an alb.
stinence from animal food would; TO q
certain extent, impair the energy of the
mind by weakening the body generally.
Those who have to undergo much bodily
and mental fatigue, require q substantial
and generous diet. Much will however
depend on constitutional peculiaritiss.

DemOer0t-I don't know, but hope they will

Democrot-Very well; but If one defeat ought
to eonsign him to private life, suppose accor-
ding to the same rule, that three defeats ought

From the Richmsnd Enquirer.

FROM the RlchmSnd Enquirer
The Norlk Herald seems Mortified AT the idea
of our employing the word Coons" 1t is polite
enough to say, 1--WE object not to the epithet,
when applied to the Wings, by the rif:raff of the
Loco Foco press-it only makes us smile as
would the antics ola monkey or jack pudding ;
but we could shed tears to see the editor of the
Enquirer, honored if not approved by inward
man, joining with the meanest, in the inglorous
exhibition" But if the Norfolk Herald does not
forfeit its dignity, by calling US "Loco Foco,"
how do we sin by calling them Coons2" Be-
sides, is there any such great indignity ia this
nickname? Was it not Mr.. Goggin, the orator
of the Wing Amherst dinner, who pronounced a
brilliant panegyrc on the Raccoon, and proclaim
edAit to be the most fitting emblem of the Whig
party2 Did not two of the gentlemen who gave
toasts on that occasion, take pride in recognizing
Whigs. too in the habit of calling nicknames !?
We are " Loco Foeos" Mr.. Clay is to be cried
'upaas "The Mill boy of the Slashes." Some of
their presses delight to throw up their caps on the
intelligence of any great victory, and to claim 1t
for that same Old Coon" We confess, there is
not much honor in the name of Coons; )" but
was ever a nickname more disgracefIlly eatnrd
bythe WhigS, than was This "same old Coon"
with all its accompanying lHumeries of lS49 2
We had the first history Of the invention, some
months since retailed to us by the lips of re-
pentant Wing of that memorable era. He was

which he vas thenbetraycd. "And pray, 1--WE
ask,) who has the honor Of starting the Coon p
Why, tsays he with SMILEY believe may
claim that honor" He then stated, that he lived
in one of the frontier counties of Ohio where Gen
'eraf Harrison was very popular. and the raccoon

were determined to attend the great Whig MEET
ing Columbus, and to appear n-all the simplicity
of the froHticr life. They procured for this puf-
posea large wagsea-s1wed its sides for door
and windows, so as to, make some rude Fesem-
blance to log cabin-ceVered its sid, with musk
rats, and mounted a live Coon on the top Of it
and, in this STYLE they appeared in the procession
ut Columbus. The brilliant idea took with the
party-the, Coon was brought iTro use-and that
contemplate animal became the glorious emblem
of their party.
1t is amusing to srethe eFnblems which still Or
nament the papers Of both patties. When the De
mocrats pre1l, they throw the Coon upon his
back, and mount the growing Cock over him.
When the Wings sway, they place the fguze of
the Coon over the Cock and for our own parts,
if to select our emblems give us the gal
liant Cock the representative of Liberty, during the
French Revolution, rather than this sly, cunning,
slouching reptile Of the forests But every man
to his tastel Mr.. Goggn prefers the Coon, and
Coon let it be- ,t-s.

New York right again. In 1910 the treache-
ryof TaIImadge and orhers injured the democratic
cause ia New York: These men had been demo
Gratis; at that crisis they deserted Mr., Van Buren,
secretly, and pretended to go for democratic pFin-
ciplcs at the very moment they were playing into
the hands ofthe Federal Wings Soon, however,
they came out openly on the side Of Federal
Whiggery, and yet they held back long enough
to operate on the elections. Like Mr.. Badger in
North Carolina, and like Whig leaders in other
sections, they said they were against National
Bank many of the people believed them; the
democratic party was stabbed by its pretended
friends and the result is before the world. But
New York is right again, and we defy Federal
Whig management to put her hereafter on the
wrong side. She will stay where she now is,
and her vote will be thrown, by large majority,
for the democratic nominee.

MR.. CL4Y's WEAKNESS.

Wherever Mr.. Clays name has been used
since 1910, the Federal Wings have Lost ground
In 1910 the Legislature Of New York stood 2i
Whigs to II Democrats in the Senate, and 66
Wings to 62 Democrats in the House Now the
Legislature is democratic by an overwhelming
majority. In 1910 her popular majorty against
Mr. Van Burcn was over $4,000; now it is co.
600 in favor of democracy. Why this mighty
change? 1t is owing, in great measure, t. the
use of Mr. Clay's name. The same truth is also
illustrated in other States--in Pennsylvania. Indi-
ana, Maine, New Jersey, Connecticut, North
Carolina; indeed every where the nante of Clay
has worked ruin and defeat to the Wings He
shoeed himself in Louisiana--a whig State in
l64O-and the people forthwith turned from him
and elected delegation to Congress entirely de-
mocratic. He will Sboac himself in North Caro-
lima next spring; and hope after to chroni-
Gle similar triumph for democracy
The North-Carolina standard., 1843-11-22

~ One of the strongest evidences that Mr.
Clay a0iU not be nominated is to be found in the
desperation with which his Southern adherents
hold on to the hope that he will be nominated
We believe that he has many ardent friends in
North Carolina, and we believe also that they
hope ne will be the choice of the Wing National
Convention; but our opinion is that time will ex-
hibt him again in the humiliating attitude of a
man rejected by his own friends.
