INTERESTING MEDICAL ExPERMEETs.-An
interesting experiment was made in New Or
leans, a few days ago. by a druggist, with one
of the narcotics so mich used in the East, viz -
Indian hemp or Canabris Indica, in order to
test IFS application to medicinal purposes. He
took Six gains, "a very large dose,) which pro-
duced great weight about the head, followed by
irresistible bursts of laughter, during which,
however, he was perfectly concious of all that
he was doing or felt and thought. He saws

novel ideas and iancies that rushed through nv
BRAN, returning over and over again. Imapiua
ton and perception were developed to their
greatest extent. All the principal incidents of
my life passed before me like a flash. This
condition of mind lasted two hours. Dreams
and reveries of the most pleasing nature fol-
lowed this extraordinary tension of the intellec-
tual faculties. Then came deep, calm sleep,
which terminated this singular fit or mental

New LINE OF STEAMERS BETWEEN New
YORK AND HAvRE.--The Paris correspondent of
the Courier des Etats Unis, announces in re-
cent letter, that the President of the French re-
public has seriously conceived the design of
establishing line of French steamers between
Havre and New York. and also between Nantes
and New Orleans, touching at Havana. The
management of these lines will be confined to
private companies, but with liberal assistance
from government, which will actively stimulate
the enterprise.

Whole Dem. vote, IA Whole Wing vote, 20
Now, from this it appears that of the eighty
votes cast for laying it on the table, sixty seven
were Northern-but two Southern Wings, and
eleven Southern Democrats voting with them.
SO, by the Union's own showing, the Southern
Wings on this occasion were more democratic
than the Democrats, in the proportion of FIVE
and half to one.
Against laying on the table, out of one hun
bred and two votes cast, the North gave forty
two and the South sixty. Hence, if the Unions
test be applied, a new patent for Democracy
will have to be taken out, and the South re-
garded as the "National," the North the "Sec-
tional'' portion of the Confederacy. The Union
says nothing about the indisposilion of SO many
which prevented full vote being
taken.

tR The Albany Journal makes the following
comments on the Congressional policy of agi-
tating to keep down agitation:
When the Union was declared to be preserved
from impending destruction by the passage of
the compromise measures, by way of securing
those instruments of its safety from the attacks
of evil disposed agtators, IL was determined
that no one should say anything about them.
But finding to their surprise, that notwithstand-
ing this determination, people kept on talking
about them, just as if they could be altered,
their supporters have hit upon the notable plan
of proclaiming, by resolution of Congress, that
they must be let alone
The April number of the Knickerbecker
Magazine contains fable that is rs applicable
to the juncture as if it had been written on
purpose:
How THE KING OF THE NoBByNooDLEs MAN
AGED THE INDIANs.-"The king of the Nobby-
noodles, being about to 60 to war with the
Indians, was sorely puzzled to contrive how he
might prevent the savages from striking his
soldiers with their tomahawks.
"Ha! Father Hercules!" he Cried after long
meditation, :" l have it Captain Gandertail, do
you 90 and bid my fire eaters to get 'em each a
bit of rope. We piH tie the Indians hands
behind them, and then they can't crack the boys
heads with their hatchets Father Hercules"
$50 all the Nobbynoodlss went out to fight
the Indians. And when they found their ene-
mics, they rushed upon them with great fury to
tie their elbows together. After the battle, the
king found, to his great astonishment, that half
of his men had been knocked on the head, and
that the rest had barely saved their scalps by
running away. Father Hercules said he,
musng, what could have been the matter? |
suspect that the knots slipped. We mua try

- The Union and the Republic ass both
making themselves ridiculous by wrangiing
over the fnality vote in the House. Each claims
the peculiar merit of that procedure for its own
particular friends. While the Union insists
that "this Compromise measure, although not
passed originally by an exclusive party vote, is
yet Democratic in its nature and tendencies
and scan confer no political power upon any
but sound, orthodox Democrat" the Repub-
lie as roundly asserts that it is mn Admlnlstra-
ton measure, and that in coming up to its sup.
port, the Democrats have endorsed the Admin
istration.
Now, to say nothing of the bad faith on both
sides in this attempt to convert into party
measure this Compromise, at the time of its
passage 50 soemnly declared by the coalition
not to be so, but purely national one, the
absurdity of the allegations of each is patent
on the face of the proceedings. The analysis
of the last vote on the fnaity, exposes this most
plainly, and the editors of the two organs pay
little respect to the intelligence of their respec-
tive readers by attempting such an egregious
humbug.
The Union of yesterday gives an analysis OF
the vote to lay the Compromise resolutions and
all the amendments on the table, as probably a
more conclusive explanation of the position OF
parties than any other" Here is that analysis

POLITICS IN WISCONSIN.

Gov. FarwelI, Wing. of Wisconsin, holds the
following language in his Message to the Legisa-
ture of Wisconsin, in relation to the fugitiveslave
law:
.sAfter careful examination of the provisions OF
this law, aside from the question of its unconstitu
tionality, am prepared TO express my own opinion
that in many of its features it is highly objectionable
unjust; and am in favor of either such radical
modification will take from it its odious features,
its repeal.''
The Democracy of Wisconsin defeated in
the late contest, by dsgraceful coalition between
the Abollionsts and the Wings; and the position of
Gov. Farwell of opposition to the Constitution and
the laws, is the result of this coalition. We are
gratifed TO learn, however, that the Democracy of
that State again united and that they will for
the nominee of the Baltimore Convention by from
5000 to 5000 majority. The following is the Dem

THE NORTH CAROLINA STANDARD
For 1919

The present year will be marked by events of
deep and lasting importance. A President and
Vice President will be elected; and we shall have,
in this State, warm campaign for Governor and
members of the Legislature. The Legislature to
be chosen will be called upon to elect Senator for
six years-to re-district the State for members of
Congress-and also to lay off the Senatorial Dis
tricts and apportion the members of the House of
Commons for the next twenty years. In addition
to this the great question of Equal Suffrage will
como before that body for final action. These
considerations, not to mention others, will render
the campaign interesting to all. The people will
desire to be informed to passing events and the
qualifications and soundness of public men; and,
to be thus informed, they must not only hear the
stump" speeches, but they must take the meaCs-
papers.
We shall devote all our energies to the cause of
the people and of Democracy and equal rights, in
the coming campaign. A brilliant triumph lies
before us, brother Democrats, provided are true
to ourselves. Let us, then 60 to work at once
let prepare for the harvests of August and
November. Let scatter the documents and
newspapers far and wide among the people, so that
they may have an opportunity of reading, ponder
ing, and deciding for themselves, upon the great
questions which will come before them. Democ-
racy fears nothing much as false issues and con-
cealments. 1t is open like the sun-like the sun,
it shines for all and, like TRUTH it courts scrutiny
and challenges investigation.
The undersigned offers the NoRrH-CARoL1NA
STANDARD, a co-worker in the good cause at
the following rates: Weekly in advance, So; Semi
Weekly, in advance, 81. Where payment is de-
layed beyond .one month the price will be So so
and 81 SO respectively; and if delayed beyond six
months, So and S. in each case. Any person who
will procure and transmit five subscribers, with the
cash in advance, viii be entitled to the sixth copy
for one year, free of charge.
The undersigned hopes to add at least one thou
sand subscribers to his list during the pending
campaign. He most respectfully and earnestly
appeals to his friends in all parts of the State to
aid him in his efforts to disseminate sound princi-
pies among the people.
The Democratic papers of the State will confer
favor by giving this Prospectus few Insertions

SOUND VIEWS.

The following, among other Resolutions, were a.
Idopted by Kossuth Meeting recently held in Union
town, Pennsylvania:
Res0iUed, That any people have bot to will it to
be free. Let them unite and resolve, and it is done.
The despoc the government the easier the
luton, the dscontents being many and the contents
few. But no people can long preserve liberty who
qualified by religion, virtue. and intelligence
for its enoyments and when they thus qualified
they will sooner later become free-for despotism
can exist only among people degraded by ignorance,
irreligion, and crime
ResolUed, That in the impending contest there are
but two sides-liberty and despotism-and that the
public presses in this country aiding the of des
potism, by disparaging the character and cause of
Kossuh, the noble representative of Liberty and VIC
tim of despotsm merit the detestaton and adherence
of every American heart.
ResoiUed, That if the people of France submit to
the establishment of an imperial despotsm by a
usurper, they destined to be slaves, and deserve
that destiny.
Resolved, That opposed TO all g entangling
alliances !" with foreign governments which might
feter freedom of action and embarass the perfect
control of our own destinies.''

GEN. SCOTT.

The Register lodges our question as to whether il
will support Gen. Scott for the Presidency. We
We're prepared for either silence dodge, and are
not, therefore, surprised.
But there is at least one Wing paper in the State
which speaks out in frank and manly tones. The
Edenton Bulletin says:
We only mean to say that General Scott, from
tbs alliance '0M SeUard, and the ka,oavn preference
Which the free soil a0ing of the Wing party erpres
for him, IS unworthy The confidence Of the South, and
in our opinion, cannot and ,oe sincerely trust, ,vih
not RECEIVE the Uote Of the South in the coming Presi
the Vaccinations of Seward, & Co. (for they will be
its principal agents) to obtain the nomination. -
The Register is well convinced that Mr. Fillmore
cannot get the nomination, and the Editor of that pa.
per is no doubt equally well assured that Gen. Scott
will be the nominee. Yet it continues deceive its
readers by holding up Mr.. Fillmore its first choice
and as the probable nominee, and by doging as to
Gen. Scott The object of this policy is in the first
place, to hold the Wing masses together; and Sec
ondy, to transfer them, at the proper time, the
Scott ranks! Will the game succeed!
We can judge of fbe future of Whigism only by
the past. -Four years ago. it well understood that
Mr.. Senator Badger for General Taylor in pref.
erence to all others; and Gen. Taylor was nominated
Mr. Badger no doubt 'got the points - at Washing
ton, and thus enabled to speak among his friends
here " by the book. " Well, we happen to know
that Mr.. Badger is for Gen. Scott. He regards
him the most available candidate and will no doub,
stump Stanly, Montgomery, and other Counties for
him, should he be nominated. Mark what we say
Gen. Scott will be the man! Mr.. Badger knows all
about it-has doubt agreed to it in Washington,
and that will be sufficient for many of the leaders
and Large number of the Wings of this State The
Editor of the Register knows, too, good deal more
on this subject than he thinks prudent to tell and
hence his silence and his lodges when Intercepted
to Gen. Scott.
