HINTS TO PEOPLE WITH EyEs.-oo

first waking ia the morning, do not expose
yourself to a sudden glare OF light.
Do not rub your ewes with your fingers, or
any thing else-it exeites inflammation.
When Obliged to guard the eve from the
glare OF light, let the shade be OF simple green
SILK, so suspended as not TO press upon the
eye.
Ba'he the eyes, morning aud evening, in
pure sold spring water. Pump water is not
good. A fine linen handkerchief should be
used to wipe them dry. Never wash them
when you are perspiring, or very warm.
Eys cups or glasses are worse than useless.
Persons engaged on white articles, or min
ute work, should choose rooms in which there
is a long perspective, on which their eyes may
rest Tor occasional relief.

Democratic Meeting in Dale.

Whereas, we, the democratic citizens of Dale county, anticipating renewal of the efforts of the whig party, to sMUceLE the principles of federalism into power at the ensuing presidential election, feel it to be our privilege and duty vigilantly to guard ourselves against the deceitful ap- pearances of an enemy whom we have al- ways defeated under it's own colors, or in fair and open combat, and who is only to be dreaded wlen in ambush
 Be it therefore resolved, That we are not tired of our principles or party organi- zation, and so long as the maintenance of republican principles shall be the end and purpose of the democratic party, we will not be led astray from its ranks by the art ful devices of those who cry out "no par. ty--no principles" while they arc trying to organize Il party, whose object is to elevate MEN to office, without regard to PRINCIPLE. a-
 ?. In the administration of President Polk, we recognize the principles of dem- ocracy, urged on with consumate ability and great purity.
 3. We believe the war with Mexico is, on the part of the United States, just al.d righteous, and those who have so gl ori- ously and successfully prosecuted the same, both in the field and cabinet, have entitled themselves to the confidence and gratitude of the American people, and the admiration of the world - and those who have opposed our cause and our arms both in the cabinet and in the field, have entitled themselves to the gratitude of the Mexicans and all our enemies throughout the world.
 4. We recommend our democratic bre. thren to go to work in pushing our col umn along," by organizing clubs, and preparing for the coming contest---and we promise them that when November comes, all will be well in Dale
 5. That for President and V. President, we will support the nominees of the ma. tional convention. aesl
 6. That the Eufaula Democrat, Flag & Advertiser, and State Guard, be requested to publish these resolutions.

EF Immaterial how laudable or how po- litic any course the Administration pursues, the whigs, them doers of evil, are always ready to commence the howlof opposition. Now that the President has suggested to Congress the propriety of aiding the dis. tressed people of Yucatan, they vent all the spleen of a long horded malignant hatred, and accuse MT. Polk of tinkering for popularity. According to the words oi that party, Mir. Polk is under a bounden duty to show his friends, alias the Span- iards, in some way, kind and friendly act. Why not to the Spaniards of Yuca- catan as well as to any other portion of them? He has completely whipped one section of the. friends of the whigs, and now, why not lend benevolent and an aiding hand to the Yucatan Spaniards r. This is query of course which will be answered by the fault-fnding whigs, by i'll denunciations of the Executive.
