spectacle and influential Democrat in Granville,
to friend in this place. has been handed TO us
for publication. We are glad 10 learn from /.
that the Union men in that county are jealous
and active in the support Of Nr Graves, and We

I" DEAR SIR: ] can say to you, that
the Union men Of this county have be-
yond doubt determined to run CALVIN
GRAVES against vRSABLK , and Judging
from the lukewarmness of his (vena.

Grayes's: ! cannot doubt as to the re-
suit in this county. Are you Union men
at work in Old Orangef If not, go to
work. Prevail upon Unipn DEMOCRATS
to work. Have Graves named in the

to all the precincts, with active men to
distribute them. have strong hopes,
that if there shall be the same CONCERT
in all the other counties as in this,

CUTE TRIcK.-A chap called upon the
Messrs. Wiltshire Yesterday and inquired
il they would purchase a-quantity of rec
titled whisky at the market prices. The
Wilshires told him they did not wish tc
buy, as that was an article they mannfac-
tnred themselves. The seller left, but
returned again in few hours and offered
the whisky at reduced price, and the
trade was cancelled, Mr.. Wiltshire given
him check for the amount, which was
about $3.50.
About fifteen minutes after the man
TO whom the check was given and two
gentlemen from Madison, where their
whisky was taken on board Of the Wis

What could the buyer do but answer in

Democratic Con ventiOn.

Pursuant to call from the Democrat
+ic Committee, a Convention of delegates
from the counties of Marshall and Starke
was held at the Court -house in Plymouth
on Saturday, June 2Sth, 1851, for the pur-
pose of nomin ating candidate for Rep
resentative aad county Commissioner.
The Convention was called TO order by
General Bailey; and on motion IA MES
BANYoH was appointed Chairman. and
John @. Howell appointed Secretary. and
Ii. P. Steele assistant Secretary. On re
quest of the Chairman Messrs. J. Downey
and Sanford Gordon was appointed Vice
Presidents.
The Chairman suggested the propriety
Of each man voting in mass. Gen. Baiy
made some remarks. Mr.. E. Kindall
moved that oil vote by ballot. MrSteele
made some remarks in oppo sition to that
course. Mr.. White spoke also in favor
of apportioning the vote of each town
ship, in order that Centre may not lie UNI
der the imputation of making the nomi-
nations as has heretofore been charged
upon it. Remarks from several gentle
men. VIM. M. Patterson spoke in his
usual style. and requested the gentleman
who made the above motion to withdraw
it. His views in relation to all matters
are decidedly liberal. A legislator should
not be in advance of the people who send
him 10 legislate for them. DR.. Sherman
made some remarks. Mr.. Kindalls mo-
ton was taken and lost. Judge Jacoby
made motion, that the vote be appor-
toned in proportion to the demscraiic
vote in each township, seconded and car
ried. The Chairman appointed COM
mittee to appropriate the vote as above.
The committee retired for short time,
and returned and reported as follows:

FOURTH OF JULY.

Glorious day. The bright winged Bird
of Liberty eshers in the morn with song
of triumph. Shades Q. our Forefathers
appear and guide US on in the true spirit
of love and praise in Freedoms cause.
What sweet, hallowed associations cluster
around the brow of this sacred day. Myr-
lads Of joyous hearts are gathering around
TIE altar of Liberty to lay their offerings
upon her shrine Clarion note and trum
pet blast echo through the wales, greet
ing the rising sun as he mounts the east
ern wave.
How grateful should we be to God for
the unrivalled prosperity which we en-
Joy. How grateful should we be that we
are free from tyranny and oppression.
While other nations are groaning under
the cruel yoke of despotism in foreign
lands, we are revealing in the shades and
bowers Of bliss. and feasting at the ban
quet table of abundant Injuries. Every
want is supplied and we glide over the
calm waters of Life to rest at eve be-
meath the star gemmed pavilions Of Eden S
groves.
Upon this happy day. let us visit the
resting place of our Forefa Tiers, and deck
their sepulchres with wreaths of cypress,
rose and myrtle. Let us bneel and offer
up to God our grateful prayers, and sing
anthems sweet. Come age, come youth
and beauty, and let your banners wave
in glittering folds over the warriors
mausoleum of immortality.
May this eventful day ever be regarded
with strict observances of gratitude TO
God. May we remember that Liberty
is bought at dear price. That we are
the only nation that floats with transcend
ant beauty upon the golden clouds of
Liberty, sailing around the globe and
bearing the standard of Freedom in JOY
to earth's remotest bounds. May we i'm
bibe the glorious spirit of our Forefath-
ers--the spirit that led them on through
so many brilliant victories, so that when
the war-trumpet shall summon us TO
mingle in the battle din of Freedom, we
shall leap forth with energy and patriot
ism to save our country-our dear, be-
loved country from impending ruin.

draw his mileage pay as other members
do-acC ording to the present law, until
it is changed.
Mr.. Colfax was quite eloquent and
gress, and with cool unfarness compared
it TO the book appropriation of Judge
Sample. There is a wide difference in
the character of the two appropriations,
as can readily be seen by any person but
a whig candidate with Congressional hon.
ors binding him. The Sample book a p
preparation was to purchase books for
the private Libraries of Congressman: the
books that DIR. f. voted for were records
Of Congress-the Globe and Appendix
to be sent TO every County Library in the
District, to be preserved for the convent
ence of those who might wish to refer TO
the important proceedings and speeches
connected with the settlement of the diff
icult questions which have agitated the
Nation during the past two sessions.
There Is no similarity between the two
appropria atoms. One was to fill up pri-
vate librarieS--the other, for distribu
ting information among the people. The
presentation and demagOguesin
manifested by MI G.. will not help him
to many votes, or gain for him much
credit as an honest politician-especiall
when it is remembered that Mr.. c. when
member of the Cons titutional Conven-
ton, voted for publishing the debates
and proceedings Of that boGy. We Go
not censure Mr.. c. for that vote, but his
course in condemning an opponent for
similar vote is strongly tinctured with
dishonesty.
Mr.. Colfax was decidedly in for stop
ping all leaks in the treasury, and was
quite vehement in his denunciation of
DIR. t. for voting to remunerate Demo-
crat, Thomas Richie, editor of the Uni
on. for losses sustained in executing print
lEg for Congress-a claim said BY Gales
* Seaton, Wing editors of the National
lntelligencer, TO be just; but, quite
strangely! Mr. c. hadn't word to say
about the million of dollars or therea-
bouts GaIphinised from the treasury by
whig cabinet officers and wing leaders.
Oh. no! Nh. G. hadn't word to saw
about that--it was all in the party--and
ii wouldn't do to tread on his own corns!
DISTINGUISHED, candid gentleman
We have not space to refer to all the
points IN the two hours speech of Mr.
Coliax, and have referred to portion Of
them merely TO show individuals who
were not present the style of his wiring
in and wiring OUT speech. We listened
lv-think he is fluent speaker.
and quite witty genius--will DO very
well for whig leaders to brag about--is
not by any means the worst man in the
istrict--but there was a lack of cam
dor. substance and sound argument in his
speech That was apparent and admitted
by wings. Take away the rhetorical
flourishes and lofty flights, and patriotic
professions which abounded, and the bal
ance would be hardly worth mention
ing.

Mr.. EDIToR:-
That any one. liz this enlightened day
and age of the world, could have the har-
dihood to raise their voice in favor { {
tobacco, is matter of surprise. | shall
not attempt to reply 10 all the grounds
on which Observer rests his reasoning,
but shall leave them for the more heavy
blows, of my rantankerous friend Pill
grim. In the first place he thinks, in
most cases that the Use of tobacco does
no good 1t is law well established in
meta physics, that that which does no
good. will do some hurt. And he speaks
of grandmothers, and mothers, using the
pipe. | have heard grandmother. and
mother, when sitting by the ireside on
a cold winter evening, relate their horri-
BILE stories of witches, and hobgoblins;
and are we TO believe that il does no hurt
to smoke because grandmother uses the
pipe, any more than we will believe that
these stories are all true? | contend vet
sir, that It is poison, one of the most
deadly poisons. Tobacco in small do
ses causes an unnatural heat in the throat
and warmth in the stomach. In larger
doses il provokes nausea, and peculiar
feeling described as giddiness, vomiting,
and purging. Taken in the form Of snuff,
it produces dyspepsia, as l know from
personal observation; and good medical
authority. The more prominent symp-
toms are nausea, vomiting, and in some
cases purging, extreme weakness, and re-
taxation of the muscles, depression of the
vascular system, manifested by feeble
pulse, pale face. cold sweats, and ten
dency to faint,) conyulsiee movements,
followed by paralysis. and kind of tor
por terminating in death. These are the
effects of tobacco, when given in large
doses. 1t must have a cores ponding ef-
feet in smaller ones, such as chewing.
smoking, and snuT-taking. 1t throws
its influence upon the nerves and mus
cles, producing relaxation of the latter,
which it weakens, aud that peculiar feel
ing described by smokers in particular,
as nervousness, These are facts incon-
trovertible, well established by medical
authority, | refer 10 Pereira's Materia
Medica. And lastly, he thinks that it
is wonderful that physicians, knowing
the bad effects of it should use it. OBJ
server will not deny, that almost every
one, is at this time acquainted with the
bad effects Of alcoholic liquors: and yet
Physicians have used it until delirium
tremens has horribly ended their unfor-
tunate lives.
Members of that honorable profession
will tell you themselves that they are

the nature of their profession. And in
deed sir, heard one of those physicians
OF Plymouth exclaim while smoking in
a dark room one evening. that it did him
no good without he saw the smoke; and

DEATHS By LIGHTNING

We learn from the Bedford standard
that ON Saturday last, the 18th inst while
the Rev. VIM. Dye, and his son. Ii or | 5
years of age. We're at work in their corn
field, some ii miles west of Bloomfield,
in Green county, there suddenly came up
shower of rain. accompanied with thun-
der and lightning. The father and son
took shelter from the rain under tree in
the field, and while there were both struck
by lightning and instantly killed. Mr..
Dye was a minister of the Christian
church, and on that day was TO preach at
his house-the hour for worship arrived,
and a number of the neighbors had col
lected; but the father and son had not
made their appearance. Anxious TO learn
the cause of their mysterious detention.
the wife and mother proceeded to the field
and there to her deep and almost over
whelming anguish, found both husband
and son, cold and lifeless-their fond
spirits having taken their flight to the
Great God who gave them. The grief
and affection such sad and melancholy
disaster must bring to the heart of wife
and mother. cannot be expressed or de-
ribed.--Albany Ledger.
