TT Many are curious to know why it is
that Gen. Taylor set out on his northern
tour, and proceeded as far as Baltimore,
where he spent some days,and then return
ed TO Washington. Some surmise that it
was the result ofthe Pennsylvania elections
which stopped him at that point, and in
duced him to return, lest he might produce
a similar result in New York. BE this as
it may, we have no doubt that the united
democracy of New York will have COM
pIete triumph next month,over the sharcr-
and disorganizod forces of whggery in that
state.

ping over the stomach. Drinks should be given
while the blood is flowing, to prevent the loss of
blood from deliberatng. which is well to do, if the
drinks be absorbed; blood letting, by removing
venous plethora, facilitates absorption. A sweat
will stop the diarrhna and vomiting if it can be
established. While the diarrhea goes oil, and
before perspiration occurs, stimulants may be
used freely--none are too strong-fre itself is
scarcely too strong, if it could be swallowed
The powders though are generally strong enough.
When sweat is once established, stimulants are
injurious and are apt drive the blood to the brain
and cause secondary fever. Warm teas or chick
en- water are then the best stimulants they dilute
the blood !; they can be taken cold or warm or al
ternated with ice. But suppose the powders cam
not be kept on the stomach, what then answer,
morphine and camphor water. From half a grain
to grain of sulphate of morphine dissolved in a
dessert spoonful Of camphor water (the aqua cam
phor of the shops) should be given after every
spell of vomiting, or every stool, also little cal
omel or chalk mercury. Coffee after the morphine,
prevents it from affecting the head. o.

met with single case, which has not been prompt
ly cured by the above mentioned means, if taken
in hands before the pulse failed. The most ofthe
cases are cured by single dose. More than one
or two doses are seldom necessary. What kills
so many people with cholera, they will not believe
they have the disease, until they begin to die
They die from triAng with the darrhna, believ-
ing it is only premonitory symptom, and stop it
or try to do so by as,ringent or opiates. Life is
suspended by hair under the "stopping up" empi.-
ical method A fearful risk has to be run. But
if the skin and liver be made to act, there little
or no risk or danger to be apprehended. Many
die from stimulating too much after the sweat be-
gins to flow, and not taking sufficient fluid to re-
store the watery part of the blood which has been
lost. The word premonitory" has killed its
thousands The disease has no premonitory symp-
toms that ever discovered. What is called by
that name is the disease itself
The above mentioned powders, and vial of
morphine and camphor drops, should be kept in
every house when the cholera is about, and taken
whenever or wherever the first symptoms of the
disease shows ITSELF In cholera Take the med
icine first and send for the Doctor afterwards"

Remarkable Statement.

An eminent physician of Paris, DR.. Bonet, has
written to professional brother in this town
statements so startling in reference to the results
of a very simple mode of treating, in the worst
stages, the disease now so fatally prevalent in
Paris, that we deem it our duty at once to lay it
before the public The letter, of which the fol-
lowing is translation, is dated Paris, June l8 ::
=" think it my duty to inform my professional
brethren that, in great number of patients af-
ected with cholera In the last STAGE that is to say,
when the pulsaton of the heart and the movement
of the pulses are absent and in the commence
ment of the blue stage, have succeeded in restor
ing the action of the heart and in recovering the pa
tent from the blue stage by administering, at in
tervals of halfand- hour, four cups of hot and
sweetened infusion of the common lime tree, mint,
balm. or camomile, &C., in each of which cup of
infusion were four drops of volatile alkali, making
Is drops, which the patient may take in two hours
The reaction is almost instantaneous. The pulse
commences instantaneously to beat, rather irregu-
larly at first it is true, but afterwards with force,
the blue state disappears, the body, face, and ex-
tremities are covered with hot and copious sweat,
and ina few hours the patient is entirely out of
danger 1t is frequently necessary to combat the
reaction when it becomes too strong by the assis-
tance Of bleeding ."-Liuerpool Albion.

The state agents have been in the habit of al

side in the Northern and Western counties, far
away from the canal, and who are glad to work
with good teams for dollar and seventy .fue

Why havethese prices not been reduced by the
Locofoco Canal Commissioners, and the savings
applied to pay the honest laboring man Why is
it that they appoint dishonest men to Office, and,
when it is notorious that they are scheming every
way to swindle the State, do not attempt to stop
the frauds. Can it be that Mr.. Painter is inter-
ested with themin swindling the State9 Suspi-
cion will rest upon public officers who allow their
subordinates to be guilty of official frauds. The
Keystone knows and admits that such frauds are
committed. Why does it not arouse Painter!

John A. Gambler.

The Montrose Register in noticing the nomina

date for Canal Commissioner, says there is nc
doubt such feeling of coolness if not absolute
hostility TO this selection among portion of the
party as will probably render it difficult matter
TO whip them all in his support. We heard one
Of the most prominent individuals of the party in
Northern Pennsylvania expressing apprehensions
some weeks ago that Gamble would be nomina-
ted, and his opinion of the probable success of the

Luzerne as their candidate, if he should be-
