WELL SuOIxpu.

The platform of the Independent Democracy is rs
broad as the United States of America and com
prehensive the needs and claims of Humanity.
Neither is it constructed. as some suppose, by bor-
rowing the principles Of other parties to exc out
meagre doctrines of its own. We unhesitatingly
claim that it is the only homogeneous, consistent po
litical creed before the counry-and in every
of its articles, the great fundamental principle of de-
mocracy is present. 1t is in respects identical
with those of Whiggery and the Old Line Democra-
cy as these also are with each other, because
parties in this country claim 10 be democratic,
hut we defy any other party than our own to make
good its title to the distinction without splitting on
the regularly adopted articles of its Faith.
The Independent Democracy is also the on12 Ma
TIoNAL party in the country. A national party is
which has impartial reference to the interests of all
sections of the Union alike. The Wing and Locofo-
co parties to hold their Southern allies one moment
in the ranks, must abandon all thought of Northern
rights or Northern policy must be silent while ev-
cry Northern scruple misgiving with regard to the
republican orthodoxy of property an man is treated
with the most offensive contempt; and finally lay then
own manhood at the feet of aristocracy as haugh
ty as the sun shone upon, by submitting, solemn

Use to SUPPRESS what they know in their hearts to be
Gods truth, and the very essential life of liberty
The Independent Democracy plants itself on that truth
as the majority Of the trainers of the Constitution
must be supposed 10 have done, holding it, at least
all sinceyity, to be consistent with guarantee 10 h
States where Slavery existed of undisurbed posses

Every Southern man-eyery stakeholder, to be con

Justice would compel to rank you, intellectually,

done honor to any state in the Union. The receipts
were amply sufficient to enable the Directors of the
State Society to pay off all the liberal list of prem
ums offered and leave something handsome in the
treasury for future operations. We must leave
particular and extended notice of the proceedings till
such time as the Society shall have prepared an off
cia report of its proceedings. Much credit is due to
the excellent President and other officers of the Soci-
ety. and especially the prompt and efficient services
of Mr.. White the Superintendent, and his assistants
TO Mr. Brown, Chief Marshal and his deputies; to
the citizens of Montpelier generally for their hospi-

PERPETUAL THIRsT-Some years ago we gave
detailed account of the condition and appearance of
man who then supposed 10 be the greatest
drinker among men in America, if not the globe.
He is vet living in excellent health, at the age of
So years. and still remains in state Of perpetual
thirst. The individual alluded TO, is Mr.. James
Webb, of Farhaven, Mass. Under every aspect in
which the case may be examined, it is remarkable,
and unparalleled in the annals of physiology In
early infancy, the quantity of water he consumed was
so large as to astonsh those who witnessed it.
development in size and weight of the body required
corresponding increase in the quantity of his aquatic
potations Under ordinary circumstances, thee gall
Ions of water is rather short allowance for him,
and it would be impossible, it seems for him TO
live through nigh. with less than paillul.--Wth
this immense amount of cold water daily poured into
the stomach, Mr. Webb has been in good health and
spirits We leave the statement of these curious
facts, unembarrassed by comment, and simply ask of
learned editorial friends the probable of this
unsatisfed thirst-BoStoa Medical Journal.

BOGUS Decisive are assured that there have
been executed in this city, since last January not less
than two hundred deeds for lands located in the old
Military Bounty Tract, Illinois, and purportng to be
made by soldiers of the of 1879, nearly all of
which have been officially certified acknowledged
upon the cath of one person subscribing witness
the makers in case being produced before the COM
missoners. OF course, there is foul play somewhere
and the probability would seem 10 be, that gang Of
scoundres have conspred to forge these deeds in the
name of soldiers who known or presumed to be-
dead and are intended to be sold TO emgranis or to
squaers on the lands, those who may have set
tied them under tax-sale titles. Who can ferret out
these rascals, il rascals indeed they be!-N Y, Ti-
