"A Little Learning" &c.

True as preaching,-""a little learning

the present age, who prepare, and are
entered upon their collegiate course
They too often forget who they are
from what what stamp of mechanic
they sprang-that, perchance, their dad
dy Is poor tanner, or cooper, who has
by h"rd labor, economy and confinement,
accumulated a small surplus, which has
lifted his son to his present POSITION

that they don't know their old comrades

Coffee.

There has been volumes written upon
the subject of "Intemperance," by which
is meant the too free use of ardent spirits
But there is a species of intemperance
which, in our, opinion, accomplishes more
harm to mankind in general than alcohol
that is coffee. This assertion, we are
aware is unpopular, but still none the less
true. Cotfee-or rather the caffeine which
1t contalns-acts cnergetically upon the
nervous system, creating, especially with
nervous persons, severe headache accom-
panied with sickness at the stomach, and
with most persons, marked nervous de-
rangement. These symptoms increase
till the person is afflicted with almost con-
slant headache, with dyspepsia, or one of
It's various concomitants, and often with
Epilepsy. Weak delicate persons should
especially avoid coffee or strong tea. as
the caffeine in the one, and the theme in
the other (being but different terms for
the same substance) will certainly exert a
perncious effect upon the nervous system
The regular coffee drinker is ever in del.
! icate state of health. He cannot UNDERGO
the least fatigue without experiencing the
headache, while any excitement, such as
vivacious talking, will produce the usua
disease, the headache. We were once
told by the most illustrious physician O
England, that nearly all Of the cases o
Epilepsy in that country were the rcsul
of coffee drinking. This physician re
marked at the same time, that coffe,
Stayed its thousands, and that it had et
tected more mischief than alcohol. Re

Will Mr.. Hale Stand!

So asks the True Democrat of Saturday
That paper doesno deem it itessential wheth
er he wllor willuot, holding it as the unalien
able right Of II freesoiler to vote for Mr. Hale
whether he accepts or not. Whatever Mr.
Hale may do as to nomination, the True
Democrat deems itself authorized to say tina
if he should be elected he will not decline t.
walk into the White House. That paper
says:
WILL Mr.. HALE SrAND?-This question
in which our HunkGr friends have manifes
ted, and continue to manifest, SO intense al
interest, has been answered both affirmative
ly and negatively, though the authoritative
answer has yet to be announced to the pub
lie. Yet it is a question in which we have
felt little interest. For, from the beginning
we have been unable to see how its decision
either way, should at all affect any mans
vote; since it Is manifestly the right of every
freeman in "this great country" of ours, Il
cast his vote for whomsoever he pleaSes
That is not all. We have felt ourselves, al
along, authorized to declare, and it may b,
we have erred in not having earlier made thu
declaration, that, if the good people of thi
nation will but open the way for MIR. Hale t.
the White House. that gentleman, if thel
alive and possessing his usual excellen
health Of both body and soul, will assured,
not hesitate to take due possession of thu
same. There is, therefore, and there ncve
has been, the slightest reason for apprehen
ding that the friends ofFreesoil will be cheat
ed out OF an administration during the com
ing four years by any declination of Mr.
IIaIe's to accept the Pittsburgh Presidential
nomination. And we shall be glad it, these
observations shall have the effect to remove
the groundIcss anxiety which has, in certain
quarters, SO unhapply existed in regard ii
this matter.

Why Gen. Scott Should not be
Elected President.

Because he is mere Genera, mot posses
sing that high order of talent-that calm
discriminating judgement and those eminent
civil qualifications which should be concen-
trated in the Chief Magistrate of the United
States.
Because he is at heart an aristocrat-
naughty and overbcarng-charactelisti
highly unbecoming "a candidate for Presi-
dent OF IA republican government.
Because he is rash, waverng and hypo-
critical; his many foolish letters fully sustain

Because, were he elected, the National

Never was Conquered.

! So say the whig papers of their candidate
for the Presidency. Now we concede TO Gen
Scott all the glory of his military achieve
ments that his best friends can desire; but
when that is saiu, all is said that can be said
IN his favor. Whenever and wherever he
has been off the field of mere military duty,
no man who has lived to the age Of sixty -scv-
en- has committed before the public 50 many
and such fatal blunders He has lost more
by writing than he ever gained by fighting.
| 'Never conquered!' Let uss see how the
account stands.
L. General Jackson conquered him, as
! their published correspondence fully shows.
9. Governor Clinton conquered him, when
he afterwards challenged Clinton to fight Il
duel, and when he knew that the Governor
had taken the anti -dueling oath.
3. John Quincy Adams conquered him
when he suspended him from his command,
| for his pompous show of fuss and feathers, "
wrath and rigmarole, at the promotion Of
Gen. Macomb.
4. The New York men conquered him
: when he attempted, without law or right
to build IL palace for himself ON the battery
grounds. They threw his bricks into til,
North River, and put the usurpation downa
once.
s. Secretary Marcy conquered him, whel
he upset the "hasty plate Of soup, and lef
the General laughed at by the whole coun
try.
g. N. p. Trist conquered him, in the "fus
and feather" correspondence about etiquette
T. The General conquered himself, in hi
letter against adopted citizens, and for tn
repeal OF the naturalization laws; and parlic
ularly when he afterwards tried To humbu
the Catholics for their votes.
6. He conquered himself again, when h
/, pledged himself in favor of revving thu
most obnoxious of all federal measures, lex
cept alien and sedition laws Bank of tn
United States; the monster that Jackson xii
; led, and even after Webster pronounced it II
"obsolete idea"
8. Seward, the demagogue of every ism
conqucrs him daily, lest he should writ
, something 'for the public eye" more "fuss
than anything he has yet written"
10. The American people will conque
Seward and his candidate, on the first Mon
of November, just as sure as the day of vc
: ting comes.--FeW Huven Register.
