ASaExATIoY OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS
The recent news from the Sandwich Islands,
though startling, is not unexpected, IS It has
long been talked of about the capitol The
Washington correspondent ofthe Journal Of
Commerce says there can scarcely be doubt
that the Hawaiian government has taken some
preliminary steps towards this object, and En-
gland and France may protest against it in vain.
The eCalifornians are exceedingly DESTROYS for
the contamination Of this project. DR.. Gwin,
one osthe Senators from California, has taken
great interest in this matter, and during the lat
ter part of the last administration, he urged up
on the government some immediate action up-
on ii; and he asserted that the Hawaiian
government was not only then prepared for the
measure, but that project Of a tt atty for the
purpose had been forwarded to this government,
and was then in the State Departments The

TE.e Int Epidemic.

We desire particularly to cali the attention
of our country subscribers to the Card of the
physicians in Yazoo City, relative to the health
Of our town. We feel confident, from close
observation, that the many reports in circula-
ton about the disease is calculated to produce
false Impressions in the minds of persons who
hear them. Indeed no place has suffered more
than this from the desire Of certain persons to
iniure it by alarming reports not only as to
the existence of the disease but its great malg-
nifty. We feel safe in asserting that at no time
has there been more cases here in proportion to
the population, who remained in town, than at
Vicksburg or Jackson. Il Is computed that
between one thousand and twelve hundred Of
our citizens remained in town during the epi-
demic, of this number at least eight hundred or
more had the disease, and about 100 deaths.
In Jackson, we understand, that not more than
four hundred citizens remained in that place,
and W. also understand that they had about as
many cases--of this number SO ded-show-
ing a greater mortality and much larger nun.
her OF cases in proportionto the remaining pop
ulation. This statement will show Yazoo City
in favorable light when compared with the
Capitol. In Vicksburg. we also learn, that the
mortality was about Is per cent.-This is as
large aa Aazoo City, and when we take into
consideration that our citizens were entirely
unacehmated, our nurses inexperienced, we
cannot but feel grati6ed that we succeeded so
well. That We lost many citizens, and yalua-
BILE ones too. cannot be denied The loss to
our town is great, but we hope the enterprise Of
those who survive, with the great inducement
which our place holds out to others to come and
take up their residence with US, viii in time
overcome our loss,and make Yazoo City whist II
time It must be, 4 Town of Importance. equal
to any in the State.

Let Us inquire. What do they ask! Such
things as these; That the legal protection Of
the liquor traffic be abolished. They ask that
rumsellers shall be restrained from making pau

drunken, brutal husbands; that our youth shall
not be tempted to their ruin at the corner Of
every street. They ask that the most power
full incentive to brawls, riots, murder, and every
species Of CRIME shall be putout Of the way.
They ask that thousands of families made
wretched by intemperanee,m may be restored to
peace and happiness and prosperity. How much
fanaticism is there in all thisl The terrible
consequences of the rum traffic, no man will
deny. They are seen everywhere--they are
felt by ten thousand agonized hearts.

license laws, and yet the evils Of intemperance

take the sense Of the people at the ballot box.
Is there any fanaticism in this! Refer the
matter to the people. No good democrat will
object to this, for it is part of his creed, and

institutions.

principle still, he must be an adherent to the

the editor of The Democrat in his endeavors to

The great political difference between Mr..

while the one has been faithful TO democratic
principles and has labored necessarily since the

since the keel Of the caloric ship WAS laid and that
