HOMEOPATHIC Practice.

Homeopathic Practice.
We have been amused not n little. ut the
efforts which are exhibited by some oil the De-
mocra,ic gentry TO enlarge their currency by
the Introduction Of "smalI note" from Mr.
James Lyons member Of the Richmond Bar.
Ii seems that Mr.. Lyons was in the city Of Bos-
ton Oh the goth Of August. and was invited by
some committeeman of the "Granitc Club,
IAN association Of locofocos for lle advancement
of Democratic men and measures,) TO take
scat on their platform. Mr.. Lyons, of eonrSe,
could not decline the honor. 1t appears, far
Their, that the Boston Post, IN Publishing list
ofthe persons who occupied conspicuous seats
on The interesting occasion, hupponed TO men
tion Judge Lyon, of Virginia. Forthwith
Nr. James Lyons. who read The account, felt
called on to publish card, "lest it should be
thought that he was conniving at an innocent
mistake" and informs the Boston public, that
he not Judge, butsimply member Of the
Bar" II the note of Lyons bad terminated
with the correction of the "innooent mistake
ii might have been supposed that to make that
correction was his only object But he pro
ceeds with other matters. which may well
Justify the suspeion that humiity and mn indis
position to wear honours to which he was not
entitled, were not the soleageecles tia, prompt

We invite our readers To perusal Of Mr.
Lyons Cord-not because we esteem the docu-
Inent of the least Importance IN itself. but to
show that Democratic statesmen have abandon.
ed their opposition to the small note" policy ).
and to advise that the Democratic Doctors ut
Baltimore should have added another line 10
their first resolution, and ex pressed the opinion
that the american Democracy" place their
trust in Homeopathic practice and have "fu
faith" IN the efficacy of small notes of-imma-
terial things.
