mants Of houses we'll ventilated, the neglect
ufwhich precaution had bred many diseases
among the poor, and had for long time pro-
crastinated the recovery ot'those who were
sick lie also referred to the faulty mode of
building public edificies, without proper care
being taken ofventilation. II has been prov
ed that air impregnated with proportion of
one zenith part of the gas already referred TO,
j. lp'al TO animal life. Now the ordinary mode
81 hull ling churches and halls for public IL
80 : is this, they have doors and windows in
deed, but they are closed, and the upper part
.ofln hall is Theoretically ceiled by the archi-
tcct andh his assistants ~ ms to afford 10 way
of escape for the impure air. A thousand
pairs of lungs using the atmosphere thus con-
fined, at the rate ofa gallon II minute, and
moreover, masses ufred hot iron burning the
air, and producing carbonic acid in Adult
dance, what wonder is it that the effects are
felt by persons of delicate organizations in
i;linting and more rarely in fits? What won
der that those of stronger constitutions feel it
in the shape Ofhead aches and drowsiness,
for which they blame the preacher, or, ifthey
'lavC caten.a full dinner, themselves! what
wonder that the preacher who from the cere
bral excitement To which he is at such time
exposed, has greater need than ever that the
blood should flow freely in IFS proper chm
hels, and be purified by exposure TO the purest
atmosphere? and compelledto exert his lungs
more than usual in the performance ofhis
public duties, together with the organs of ar
;iculation, where the air is thus contaminated,
is il wonderful that he finds his voice strained
and weakened?
The LECTURER closed by reminding his audi
cnce ofthc obligations they owed to the pa
ternal care of God, who, without trouble or
distress to their ease and happiness here
through the hours of sleep and OF waklng-
when they called upon him, and when they
We're torgetiul of him, and That the blessings
ofthis kind so great and so constant, demand
ed their gratitude and trust.
EXTREMES DECENTRALIZATION
ISM WITH BIRNETISM.
We commend the following paragraph to
the especial consideration orThird Party men.
Ii is full ofmelning:
MIR ]. G.. Birncy has recently written let
terto the "LiberIy, state Convention" in Mich
iE;rn, in which he recommends that the party
should add to its present principles, "TliE
ABOLITION OF THE TARIFF and d.
RECTTAX for the support ofthe Government"
The Executive Committee also engrafted the
same doctrine into their Annual Report, but
after very animated debate, the adoption
OF the proposed amendments was postponed
for the present.-.N Y. Express.
In this connection it is 10 be horne in mind
that the Third Party organ in Ohio has also
''udded to its present principles" most ofthe
distinctive doctrines of radical Locofocoisn.
If we do not mistake the meaning of this, it
,l, To-, 81
WINGED that it cannot stand on its one idea,
ifit is to he national party, it must have some
prime pies of conduct IN reference To the
policy of the government as to other things
besides slavery; the people must know what
such a party will do for them and all that con-
Germs them, what it will do upon the Tariff,
upon the currency, and in the general conduct
of the government. Mr. Brney aud his En-
ccutive Committee have foreseen this obsia-
clean obstacle which ever has prevented and
ever will prevent the success ofevery party
based upon ono principle. Such parties can
exist only locally and temporarily as did the
anti Masonic party. And Mr. Birncy and his
Committee have now anticipated the ques-
lions ofthe people and avowed the leading
principles which they believe the Third Par
~ must adopt SHE abolition Of The T'piG, and a
direct tar for The support Of tie Government
What say the freeman of Vermont? Are you
ready to adopt this as part ofyour political
creed? When the cotton growers and slave
drivers shout ''down with theTariffl hurra fol
direct Taxes" will goa shout a ready and
hearty amen? The advance ofthird Partyisn
10 radical Locofocoism is thing which we
are thinking the Green Mountain Boys will
watch with some interest.
