THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.


The Register replies article in relation to the
Congressional Districts, but fails to meet the main
point, which we will state again, follows: When
the Wing leaders Raynermanded the State in 1916,
they claimed that the party possessing the majority
of the popular vote, entitled majority OF the
members and upon this assumption they relied for
justification of the act before the people. This
the rule upon which they acted, and that their
defence. Well, " it's bad rule that won't work
both ways" The Democrats came into power in
1850, and found the law of 1912 repealed. They had
the power reenact that law, and, according to the
Wing rule above referred TO, they had The right; but
they preferred the repose of the public mind and
conservative policy to their interests and they
permitted the Raynermander to stand. And now the
point is, were not the Wing leaders bound, according
to their own rule Of action, and consistent and
honest men, come forward and tender a change of
the Districts to their opponents!
That is the question propounded by US to the Reg
lister, and which that paper lodges 1t answer
it without condemning itself, and SO il goes off on
other points vi ch have important proper con-
nexion with the main question.
The Register advises the people not 10 return a
majority of Democratic members to the next Assem-
bly,, for the reason, that paper alleges that they
will re-arrange the Districts give themselves
the a6yantage butt has not told the people what the
Whtgs intend TO do. provided they should carry the
Assembly. That is another point about which the
Register sings low and keeps dark. But that paper
have at least ray of consolation in the Prem-
ses; and that is, if the Democrats should continue
in power and arrange the Districts in 1859, the
Registers party have the benefit of years
campaign against the Districts as thus arranged, and
,Uhen they get into power again they change them
The fact is we think the REGISTER oupht 10 be con-
tent forego the supposed advantages of the
ing session with the view Of getting ISIS ue for
by that time, unless all the signs deusive, Wing
issues will be about out. And matter how the
Democrats may rearrange the Districts, Issue will
come of it; and the Register will thus have some
thing to talk about during the long Summer days of
1854. 1856, and Better accept the offer. Mr..
Gales. 1t is your last reasonable chance for new

THE REGISTERS "REAsoNs."

The Register gives the following, among other
reasons" why the Wing leaders should be restored
to power in this State: "a
because they are friends to the Union and oppos-
ed to Secession. 81
Because they are friends of the Compromise meas
Because they are opposed to Intervention in foreign
affairs. -
Because they are against Fillibusters and Fibus-
terism.
Because they love their own Country and Wash
ington, better than they do Hungary and Kossuth."
Well, what practical difference is there between
the Wings and Democrats on these pointsl In the
first place, the Democrats good friends of the
Union the Wings, and believe their policy and
princ plies better calculated than those of the
Wings to preserve and perpetuate it; in the second
place, they will stand uninchingy by the COM
PROMISE as the Wings, and insist strongly its
faithful observance in the third place, they
much opposed to Intervention in foreign affairs "
the Wings, and have gone farthers. party, in
This respect, than MIR. Webster or Mr.. Fillmore in
the fourth place, while they would be glad see
Cuba an Independent State, they nevertheless as
much opposed as the Wings can be to any action by
our citizens in her behalf. in violation of our own
statutes or the laws of nations and in the fifth place,
they love their own country and Washington bet
ter than they do Hungary and Kossuth,'' or the
1vh0Le aUorId besides.
So the Registers FIVE reasons fall to the ground.
The truth is, the Democrats, who constitute vast
majority of the people of this country, entitled 10
the control OF public affairs. They have had this control
for of the existence of the government;
and every great movement having for its object the
prosperity of the the extension of ter
ritory, has originated with them. They, indeed, are
the legitimate of the Wings of the Revo-
lution for they have adhered all occasions their
principles and have improved, enriched, and extend
ed the glorious heritage bequeathed to by those
immortal patriots; while the present Wing party has
clearly shown, by its attempts to establish SPLEEN
did government and by its consolidation tendencies,
complete identity with old Hamilsonian Federalism.

THE RAZOR SrRor Man. Smith, the Razor
Strop Man, occasionally breaks off from the subject
of the very superior quality of his srops and gives
his audience short lecture on Temperance in his
own peculiar and droll way. Here is an extract:
"When drank grog, owned cat, poor lean,
lantern awed thing, that was always getting into
scrapc. As had nothing for her to eat she was
comnelled to take to the highway, and the neigh
bors were continually crying out, 'confound that
Smiths cat she's drank all my milk Poor thing,
she had to steal die, for she could find no pick
ngs at home for even the poor mice were so poor
and scraggy, that it took several of them to make
shadow, and decent cat would starve to death
in three weeks on an allowance of eighteen day.
But when l reformed, things took different turn.
The kitchen being provided, the crumbs were plen-
ty, and the old cat grew fat and honest together.
Even the mice grew fat and oily, and old tabby
would make hearty supper on two of them, and
then lie down and snooze, with the pleasing con-
ISOLATION of knowing when she awoke there would
be few more left of the same sort.
And again: When was beer guzzler, mother
cried, father cried, Bill cried, Moll cried, Bet cried
and the cat cried. But when signed the pledge,
father sung, mother sung, John sung, and wife
sung, Bill sung, Mol sung Bet sung, and the cat
sung, the kettle sung, and bought new frying
pan, and put piece of beefsteak in it, and placed
it on the fire. and that sung and that's the kind Of
singing for the workman.

Hobensack's Liver Pills.

No part of the system is more liable to
disease than the LIVER, it serving as fill
terer to purify the Blood, or giving the
proper secretion to the bile; so that any
wrong action of the liver effects the other
important parts of the system, and results
variously, in Liver Complaint, Jaundice,
Dyspepsia, &c. We should, therefore, watch
every symptom that might indicate wrong
action of the Liver. These Pills being COM
posed Of ROOTS and PLANTS furnished by
nature to heal the sick Namely, 1st, An
EAPECTORANT, which augments the Sc
cretion from the Pulmonary mucus MEM

manner the certain morbid action of the sys-

to the nervous system, renewing health

Agricultural.


The advances of Chemistry,as applied
to agriculture, are SO rapid, that we are
scarcely able to record them. The cause
of flavors in fruit and the Ingredients of
which these favors are composed, are
now being rapidly ascertained An ar
ticle called by the Germans, Fusel Oil,
has been separated from grain, potatoes,
and indeed from all vegetable substances
usually fermented for making alcohol or
wines. This Fusel Oil, or its constit-
uents, seems to pervade all vegetable
nature in minute quantities; when sep
Grated has of itself but little flavor, but
upon the addition of any one of the acids
it Immediately throws fourth the aroma
and has the taste of some of the fruits.
Thus with the acetic acid, we have tho
flavor of the banana; with hydro-chloric
acid, the cherry; with nitric acid, of the
pine apple and by changing the acid
we may produce in turn each of the
known fruits ); and many of the new Or
ganic acids more recently discovered
gives us excellent favors, which may
be found hereafter to some new veget-
able product. This mere admixture of
Fusel Oil with some of the acids, 70 m
the poison, but when properly etherized
is innoxious if used in small quantities,
a single drop will flavor many pounds of
sugar, and sometimes gallon of fluid.
Who knows then but we may soon dis
cover the means of adding, in form of
manure, such materials as by chemi-
cal action of the tree will improve or
augment the flavor of the fruit. DR..
Charles Enderlin, at present in New
York, now has this subject under inves-
tigation. He is among the ablest of or
ganic chemists, and was for long time
associated with Liebig, to whom farmers
arc so deeply indebted for many of the
advancements for the last few years.
The subject is so vast, and the result in
anticipation so beautiful, that it almost
tempts us to 60 back from the field to
the labratory, and were we younger in
our art, we should certainly do so. Apa t
from the direct advantages to arise from
these investigations, it promises to open
. new field in the examination of the
organic proximates ofplants. That gen.
eral term organic matter, found in the
analysis of soils, may require for certain
success in the hands of the practical op-
orator, various subdivisions, and we shall
wait with nervous anxiety the result of
he experiments of DR.. Enderlin. We
lave seen many of the new favors he
,as produced, and they almost tempted
Us to believe that we were among groves

DRAINING.-Rev. II. Colman, in
some observation on the evil effects of
stagnant water, says =
" Plants produced on very wet soil,
are unpalitable, innutritious, and unsub-
stantial. Animals fed upon them always
loose condition, and the manure of ami
mails so fed is almost worthless. saw
this strikingly illustrated in the magnifi-
cient park of the Duke of Bedford, at
Wobern Abbey. Here there were many
spots where the grass was luxurient and
abundant, on account Of the excessive
dampness, and which were entirely neg
lected both by the sheep and deer; bu,
whenever these places, over wet, had
been thoroughly drained, they became
the favorite resort of animals and were
fed as closely as possible" The dele
terious effect of stagnant water, below
the surface, upon most species of profit
able vegetation, is too well known to
admit of doubt The proper method,
therefore, is to drain them thoroughly,
and thus render them source of profit,
as they will, when so managed, produce
abundantly, and for an almost indefinite
period without any farther trouble, OF
the application of manure. Thirty
years since but few attempts were made
to free the soils of water by drainage
and then without system or skill. The
light, however, which Geology has since
thrown upon the subject, and the phil
osophy Of springs, together with the eff
feet which the application of Chemistry
to Agriculture has produced, have shown
the best method of treating soils which
possess a superabundance of water, and
demonstrated drainage to be one Of the
most useful of all agricultural improve.
