The Health Of our City.

nC HHCStklU ONE Sktys
Madam Rumor will have much to
answer for when her day Of reckoning
comes. She has often done much in
Justice to our town and she is doing it
at the present time. This ta.tling mad
am stalks abroad and proclaims that six
or eight are dieing in our city daily
How ridiculous to tell such, and, then,
to believe it! 1t is far from the fact
We consider our town as healthy now
as at any previous Autumn. True,
many are complaining Of the chills and
fever but we know of but few who are
afflicted with other diseases. And
many Of these are new corners or visit
ers. The fact is that carelessness, ex-
posure, and excess Of food bring most
of our diseases. If people would be
more cautious they would not be so Of
tearnwell. We are not surprised that
soas exposing themselves to the
amp nigh. air should feel i'll effects
hesc.-om, ncr do we wonder that per.
sens should be sick after eating half "a
dozen apple dumplings, as many slices
IS Hsead, and potatoes. and half chick
n vim is.s Of ether fixings. We be-
.ha. our town is becoming more
ny every year, and as our i'm
70, ,aents Increase and buildings be-
,s,e more comfortable and the people
saore ca.esul SO will the health of our
Frw.. IMPROVE.

BENEVOLENCE.

We sometimes hear of deeds of be-
nevolence-one act Of which would Of.
ten be redeemlng trait in the charac-
ter Of an unpopular man-that reflect
much credit upon the donors. A late
case, that Of high funclionary liber-
ally supplying destitute strangers with
what their wants demanded, has afford
ed us much pleasure.
What can be more noble than TO
cas-. flowers in the thorny path Of our
fellow man! The qualification pro-
duced by the performance of a kindly
act is greater than ambitions highest
honors yield--in fact, benevolence is
one of the greatest sources of happi.
ness and men who do not practice this
virtue know not how much they lose.
We we'll remember with what CON
tented disposition we, once, returned
from WISHING an impoverished family
",iisery likes company" i, is said. But
stranger than this the sight of persons
in worse condition than ourselves of.
ten Yields US happiness and makes us
contented with our situation. SO it is.

Thomas FL. Benton.

One of the most inconsistent acts of
this inconsistent age is that, the Dem
ocratic State Of Missouri should elect
10 the Senate of the Z. S. a man who
does mol reside within her territory.-
She has done this in times past n
sending ThorBas II. Benton, and no
doubt the same will be done again in a
few months. This Senator is a per-
feet cosmopol.e. The last We heard
Of him was that, after visiting his Mis-
souii constituents on his yearly cleo
pioneering tour, he retired TO his farm
in kentucky. Some say he is resi-
dent of Washington City, and others,
tina. his home is in Virginia. As his
term of office will expire in few
months he will no doubt visi! his cen
s,iluenls curing this fall.
1t is by no means singular that the
Locos do no, consider that they may
act contrary to the Constitution in
sending Mr. Benton. They profess
many things they do no. practice and
as they have the power they have the
liberty TO conshue the constitution to
suit themselves. We 90 in for giving
them a rope just long enough TO hang
themselves and if they elect him, why,
we think their necks will be at least
pretty well twisted before tile mex, six
years have elapsed. We consider him
a man of great talent and strong
friend of the Union and as he is ad-
verse to annexation, we do not know
but that he may be in some respects,
serviceable to the good Of the country
If he be not elected, some rank Texas
man may be, but then this one would
be resident, and that would mover do
IN this age oi inconsistency no, IN
deed; for The constitution expressly
says that 10 person shall be Senator
who shall mel when elsc,ed be an in
habiant of that Siae, for which he
shall be chosen. no one can truly
say ;ha. Benton is AN inhabllant Of
Missouri. So he is TO be elected ia or
der 10 carry out the new tangled doc
,rines of Locofocoism. Fifty or more
locos are 10 assemble in council and
by their votes send a man to Congress
who is not qnasified, thus uioiating
the oaths they hare fakea to support
Ike Constitution. Oh. upon such de-
moeracy! We should not be surpris-
ed if British free trade man were to
be elected and sent to Washington as "a
of their democratic prn.
ciples.

Another LEGO Charge lscpMdi-
atcd.

Gov. Letcher of KY, has written a
letter TO the editor of the Albany Argus,
which paper spoke Of the detection of
Letcher from the why ranks greatly
weakening Clay's strength, and says
that, the detection referred to "is utter.
Iy false and unfounded." He says he
has been for quarter of a century and
still is, the firm friend Of Henry Clay.
Such changes as the above are very
common flate. From the fact that so
many persons have come out above
their own signatures and repealed the
charges of renouncing whiggery as told
by the loco foco papers, we arc more
and more convinced that nearly if not
all their boosted changes are false,
merely coined by some prolific brain
az was the card Of the seven negroes in
Tennessee.

Gen. Jackson, or some one for him,
is constantly writing political letters
and espatching them all over the coun-
try. The locos seem TO place great de-
pendence upon the words of the old
man. They will find, however, that
even his name will not avail them any
thing. TO resort to such bolstering of
a party, indicates that the locos actually
do deem their course hopeless. His

ged to be pestered by so many cores
ponden,s, the most Of whom no doubt,

rie,y. Do let the hero 60 home in

man to talk about its being "a nullity."
The party, that boasts of its free princi-
Piles and love for foreigners and its re-
ligious federation, will not repeal it

There is great dissension among the leaders
of the church. Emma, the deceased proph :
cts widow, has given much dissatisfaction
in consequence Of her refusing TO transfer
some OF the church property which was in

bic she may remove.
Brigham Young preached at Nauvoo on
Sunday week and avowed his belief in the

hundred other citizens OF that vicinity have
renounccd loco focoism.
Thomas Chrystal, New York shoemaker
who lately addressed loco meeting and
was auded by the Plcbeian and other dem
ocratic prints, made a speech short time
since at Clay Club meeting in New York.
Referring to his change from loco focoisa
to whig principles he said:
ale had leen told by Democratic law
yer, when about to 90 TO country town TO
address the people in favor of III. principles
of that party, that as it was u tariff neigh
borhood, he must tell them that Polk was
no. only in favor Of IA Tariff. but of high
er one than Mr. Clay was, aud documents
were put in bis hands TO prove it. He knew
this was false. and told the lawyer so, ad-
ding, II IciU haze no more TO DO lcith you or

dim TO thinking, and he soon became salts
fed that he could not be an honest man and
remain in the Democratic ranks, fighting
