Corn Beer.

This good aud harmless. withal cheap
and easily made. Boil 8 pints ofcornun-
til the skin slips: take it out of the water,
and putt in to four gallon jug or demi-
john; cover the corn with water, thus to
remain until fermentation has taken place
which is by bubbles rising, gas escaping;
then add water, sweetened to the taste.
As the beer rs drank out of the vessel. add
sweetened water every night. When
the corn is first used, the drink will be
sometimes thick andoily; throw this away,
and add more sweeteued water. A few
trials will give to any houskeeper the
knowledge as to sugar, aud few days
will give the quantity of sweetened wa
ter to add each night, afterthe last draught
be taken. Andhow many gallons ofbeer
will these three pints Of corn make during
the yearl Multiply each day by full two
gallons, and we guess you will come near
it. The three pints will do for twelve
months constant use.

A VOICE FROM THE SOLD GUARD"
LOeOfocO Pole Raising.

The Locofoco pole raising at Snyder's
in East King street on Saturday night
last, was decidedly the richest affair
which i,ao come offlhis season. At about
three o'clock the pole was brought to
this city, headed by band of music, and
followed by procession of the faithful,
small portion Of whom belonged to
Leacock (where the pole was procured
but the principal portion of whom con-
sisted ofthe most violent locofocos ofths
city. The pole had hardly been deposit
ed upon the ground chosen for its erec-
ton. before quarrel commenced among
the locofocos themselves, which was char.
acterized by great violence, and in the
course of which several persons were
severely beaten. Mr.. Kolp Of Leacock.
who we believe is a relative of the gen.
,leman who presented the pole, defen.
ded himself gallantly for some time
against great odds, but was eventually
overcome by the force of numbers, and
received severe beating, not however
until he had knocked down several ofhis
assailants. After the fighting was over,
the meeting attempted to raise the pole,
but the force in attendance was so small,
and there was such total absence ofevery
thing like enthusiasm amongst the few
Cass men who remained upon the ground
that it resulted in complete failure.
Hour after hour did the poor fellows toll
at the ropes. but all in vain; it was no GO
and although the most liberal promises o.
money were made TO all who would lend
a helping hand. and grog was poured ou
like water, free to all who desired to par.
take of it the hour of twelve passed and
the morning of the Sabbath found them
still tugging away at their heavy task
then only half completed. But the more
they tried to raise the pole the heavier il
seemed to grow, and it was at length
abandoned in despair. During all Of
Sunday the pole with its notices and
banners, might be seen suspended acros:
the street at an angle of about fort-fve
degrees. in position of great danger to
those who were compelled to pass under
it. and affordiug melancholy illustration
of the weakness and insuficiency of the
locofoco party ofthe city. The truth is,
there is no enthusiasm-no feeling in ia
vol of Cass here, except among the lea
ders and few in the rank and file who
expect to receive Offices in case he should
be elected. The voice of the people is
plainly. Enthusiastically in favor Of old

most unanimous feeling which pervades
the county, willlend her aid in rolling up

people have right to know is presump-

At Cleveland, Gen. Cass was asked his

VIt is amusing to take up a locofoco
paper and mark its consistency on the
subjectof political changes. Martin Van
Buren,. because he opposes the election
of Cass, is vituperated as coarsely as if he
were whig; but if any name can be
found that belongs to whig who op-
posed Taylor, the very fact of such defec-
ton is lauded as au evidence Of high tai
ent, integrity and patriotism! We have
not seen a single whig name of influence
pledged against General Taylor, But
when we look at the ranks of our oppo-
uents and see Ex-P Presidents, Ex-Gov-
ernors, Elk. Congressman. Ex-Collectors,
Ex-P Postmaster Generals, Ex.Jndges.
Ex-D District Attorneys, and whole line
of others, openly arrayed against Cass,
we are not surprised that show of cour-
age should be kept up, and that smoke
should be raised to conceal the detection
in the ranks Of locofocoism.-Phaa. ~

reply to an insulting communication,
abusing him for supporting Gen. Taylor.
forcibly illustrates the position oftbe dds

says:
"Our writings against the nomination
of Taylor, are quoted with all imaginable
absurdity, as if they pledged us to oppose
his election after the question is reduced
to him or Cass. We are accused of dis
honesty, and asked why we don't go to
picking pockets for living, if we can
not afford to be mani We can afford
to be man, bat not to be an idiot, and
feel that we can no more justly be charged
with dishonesty or inconsistency, than
the man who should refuse to take pass
age across the ocean in packet ship
because he had objected for some reasor
to that particular ships being put on the

he should throw himself into mud scow,
without the slightest regard to its capac-

FIRE balls and false lights, to wreck the
ship to which he had objected"
