The American Temp. Magazine.


We are indebted to the Publisher, for
the June number of this most excellent
Magazine. 1t contains two Iikenesses OF
emInenttemperance men, beside the usu-
al variety Of temperance miscellany, and
monthly compend Of the temperance
news. The coming volume of this work
will be considerably improved, as we
learn from the prospectus We, ofcourse,
wish abundant success.
For some reason or other, we have
failed 10 receive any of the numbers OF
the volume Just closed, save the one no.
ticed above. llmay be the fault OF the
mails, and it may not. Publishers of
Eastern magazines and newspapers are
in the habit Of getting Western papers to
notice their publications, by sending one
o: TWO numbers; and then stopping them.
This is a contemplate practice, and we
hope our colaborer has not fallen into the
same way OF doing business, although
several of cur exchanges have complain.
ed Of the same bad treatment.
We are willing to notice the work as it
appears, and send our paper in exchange,
but we do not intend to put up with such
imposition. The publisher will obIige US
very much by forwarding Nos to 5 in
elusive.

WATER DRINKMG. Professor Silliman
closed a recent lecture in Washington,
by giving the following sensible advice
to young men '--Tf therefore, you wish
for a clear mind, strong muscles, and
quiet nerves, and long life and power
prolonged into old age, permit me TO say,
although am not giving temperance
lecture, avoid all drinks but water, and
mild infusions OF that fluid, shun tobacco
and opium and everything else that dis
turbs the normal state of the system; rely
upon nutricious food and mild diluent
drinks, of which water is the basis, and
you will need nothing beyond these
things except rest, and the due moral
regulation of all your powers, to give you
long, happy, and useful lives and a Sc
rene evening at the close.

The LIQUOR BILL SIGNED.-lt will be

Massachusetts life Boat, that he has con.
cluded to sign the Liquor Bill. # is the

ring the question toslIe,p people, which he
refused to sign two days ago, on the friv-
oIous pretence that a measure of this sort
could not rest solely on the mere action
oI a representative body, that II must
have the sanction of the people, and that
the popular viii would not be ascer-
tanned by means of an open ballot. Now
it seems, he deems it proper 10 sign the
bill without even a reference of the law
to the people. His Excellency does not
pretend TO have altered his own mind on
the subject; but consents to sign the bill
because he finds the Legislature are ur-
gent that he should. The plain English
OF which we presume is, that he found
his veto had raised storm about him
which he had not courage to mount and
ride.

or Several of our exchanges that we
could name, if necessary, are in the habit
of appropriating original articles, from the
Organ, without any credit whatever. We
object to this. A poem by the talented
Mrs. Day, written expressly for our pa
per, is going the rounds, without any
paternity. We hope that we will not
have TO call any names, but if the prac.
tice is persisted in, we shall eel comoeII.
ed to do so.

FThe Democratic National Conven-
tion, for the nomination of candidates for
President and Vice President of the Uni
ted States, assembled in Baltimore on
Tuesday last. 1t seems to be generally
admitted that Gen. Cass will be laid upon
the shelf. The principal competitors, are
Douglass, of Illinois, and Buchanan, of
Pennsylvania; but Buchanan has deci-
dedly the advantage. Who will be the
lucky man, is hard to tell at this writing.
The political water. about here, are ter
ribly agitated. "The preservation of the
glorious Union," and the peace, happi-
ness and prosperity of thirty millions free
people, depend upon the nominations of
the Wing and Democratic parties.
"Like bound boy at a wedding" we
have nothing 10 say. The world will
wag on as usual, and the perpetuity of
the Union will be just as secure, no mat
ter who are the candidates of the contend
ing parties.

The following extract from the Gosh
octon Republican, would be a first rate
specimen ofthe amatory style, but for an
important deficiency. There are no
rhymes in it, which are as important to
such efforts, as a view Of water TO land
scape. If we can trust our memory as to
the chime of some verses, read many
long year ago, in the novel Of Cherubina.
We would present them as counterpart
10 the prose Of the Republican:
II White Sea, Red Sea, Black Sea ran,
One tide Of ink to Ispahan;
II Holland old and Holland new
. One wondrous sheet Of paper grew;
If all the geese in Lincoln fens
Produced spontaneous well made pens;
All were too mean to speak thy worth
Or set one simple dimple forth.
CUPID's DAY, 1852.
Most TFanScendent and Charming Miss:
would that my pen were dipped in
the dyes of the rainbow, picked nom
the wings of an angel, and mended from
the prayers of an infants wit that /
might expect TO paint the burning bright
ness of that flame which thy thrilling
eloquence has enkindled. Thou soft
moonlight Of sentiment--soft-soap of con-
sistencyl Thy voice is as gentle as the
first stirring of an infants dream; thy
step as light as the sylvan-footed zephyr
that famed, with the wing of perfume,
the gable end of the newborn Paradise;
thine eyes are two brilliants stolen from
the seraph's; thy lips are vivid rose-buds
moistened by the lloney-dew of affection
thy words are like drops of amber; thy
teeth are snow.hakes, set in Verbena
bed.
Oh! sweet spirits of camphor, double
distilled essence Of haHshon, sourkrout
Of my hopes, apple-sauce of my thoughts,
buttermik-catsup of my fancy, tiger Of
innocence, apple-butter of perfection,
.log-wood of melody--thou art the iulip
Of my dreams, ginger-pop of my waking
visions, and cherry-bounce of my recol-
lections; thou art as harmless as a striped
hyena, spotted as the leopard, or a
creased streak of lightning, churned 10
consistency in the milky-way; thou art
as innocent as tiger, handsome as an
elephant, melodious as a lion. Oh!
onion of my soul, picked Pumpkins,
preserved crabs of the garden of Smiths
Island, where thy desperate lover dwells!

We are indebted to the G,S., for copy
of the proceedings Of the late session Of
the Grand Division, from which we make
a few extracts, for the benefit Of such as

Thirteen charters for new Divisions
have been granted during the past six
months. The receipts for the same Pc
Rod, we're $7ls, 1O-expenditures s6l6,-

short Of the six months ending Oct 1851,

should be a corresponding decrease in
the receipts, the next six months, the Or

for better things.

Ratification Meeting.

A respectable number of the democracy o
this city and vicinity assembled at Apollo Hall
on Thursday evening, the nth inst, for the pur
pose of expressing theirsentiments in regard Il
the action of the Democratic National Conv
ention. The meeting was organized by calling
F. Cleveland to tile chair and appointing DR.
]. Glover Secretary.
On motion committee of three was appoint
ed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense oi
the meeting. Messrs w S. Huston, J. F. Hitch
cock Ond Pearce were appointed said commit
tee.
While the committee was absent, the meet
ing was addressed in an interesting and able
manner by Mr.. e. w. Jordan.
The Committee reported The following resolu-
tions, which were unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That the Democracy of Scioto
County, regard with the highest satisfaction the
proceedings of the National Demociatic Con-
vention, recently assembled at Baltimore thai
we rejoice in contemplating the noble spirit oil
concessi' and compromise which brought
those proceedings to 0 happy issue that we
heartily respond to the broad and national SEN
timents OF the resolutions adopted by the con-
vention, recognizing in them, as we do the long
established principles Of The Democratic Party
and thatwe accept with enthusiasm the nomi
nees of the convention for President and Vice
President of the United States.
Resolred, That. though many Of us, prior tt
! the action of the convention, entertained pre-
ferences for others of the distinguished gentle
men. whose names were before the convention
in connection with the Presidency, yet we now
unanimously declare, that "Franklin Pierce is
inst the man wanted" because it appears that
he is "us. the man. under whose lead we can
surely triumph.
Resolped That we could not have been pre-
scented with more acceptable candidate for the
Vice Presidency than VIM. R, King, of Ala ,
whose long experience and great abilities spre-em
inently quality him to preside over the delibe
rutons Of the Senate of the United States
and who if called upon by dispensation o.
Providence, or otherwise, to discharge the high
duties Of the Presidency would do so with hon
or to himself and credit to the country.
Resoiued, That we can, must and will elec'
these candidates, and thus purge the lighpla'
ceS of the country of those who have purder'
ed the national treasury; and sacrificed the m
terests Of the nation at home and its honol
abroad.

closed. he made no display, passed no time
ut Washington and other large cities TO ma he
political capital. 3ie went at once to his
home and thence TO the fist Court that was
held and he was pleading the cause of The
poor man in Court during the week of the
Baltimore Convention.
hltPr his return from the war, Mr.. Polk
rendered him again seat in his Clbinet. and
choice OF two Foreign Missions. They
were all d.clined; and he had given up the
oillce OF U. s. District Attorney when he
went TO the war.
Colonel Fierce has interested himself very
much in getting up Convention to change
the Constitution of New Hampshire. He
succeeded in getting one in 1850, of which
he was made the President. Had the Con-
vention followed Colonel Pierce's advice
and confined itself 10 an abolition of the
religious test and few other important
changes, II would have been productive of
great good. But it laid its hands upon eve
rythlhg. 1t changed the whole features of
the State Government, and the people were
SO dlssat tlsfied with what the Convention
had done that they voted the whole down to-
gether. Gen Pierce often left the Chair and
addressed the Convention against the rel-
gious test clause, in strains of eloquence
and argument that have had no equal In that
State.
Surprising that General Pierce was but
II years OF age when he took his seat in the
Legislature in 1928, he is about as wears OF
age. Their are other items of interest in
the history of Gen. Pierce 10 which we shall
eler in day or two.
