The True Delta, Of New Orleans, has an
article demonstrative of the tendency of qu-
nine to cause insanity. It says, that ply

their opinion, that the new development OF
tendency to insanity, is the result of too

established long before the steam-car had

Arther's Home Gazette, in notice of the
Republication of the Penny Magazine, by
Eli Adams at this place, speaks thus of the
Yankees aud our State:
"The enterpris of Americans has
become so proverhal, that as general rule
we are not at all surprised at hearing of
ANYTHING they have attempted. When ice
was first sent to British India, the expert
ment was tried by Yankee. When u no
tel was found wanting on the overland route
to British India, Yankee was found willing
to undertake it. Within all that wide
range, between peddling notions and nut.
meps on the Sandwich Islands, to building
steamboats, on the Amazon, the versati lity
of the American mind will be found t,
equally adapt itself.

was in undisputed possession of the Indians

border State East of the Rocky Mountains
publishes at distance of four thousand tiv
hundred miles from the city of Lo ndon,

as the original edition. Such an enterpris
deserves success, and we trust tina. the in

The New York Election

l
Our Democratic contemporaries, taking

are very craltly making their articles upon
the New York election, assume congratu-
latory tone towards the Wings for their trl-
umph. Thus, under a cloak Of magnanm-
Ity, Disgusting to their readers the real issue
and the true result. The contest in New
York. SO far as the Democrats were con-
cerned, was conducted upon deep-seated
opposition to the Administration. The
|high-handed course pursued by the Presi-
dent, in the removal OF Judge Bronson as
Collector, divided the party in the State OF
New York, and arrayed large number OF
those who had been its most active support
ers, against the Administration.
John Tyler's detection caused not a great
er sensation among the Wings, than has
that of President Pierce with the Demo
Gratis. They determined to administer to
him rebuke, and they have done it in the
result of the election in New York 1t is
signal and emphatic one. The Admins
tration candidates have sustained an over
whelming defeat.
New York, that one twclyemonth since
gave Gen Pierce majority Of over 10000,
has rcpudiated him now by the tremendous
majority Of from $4,000 to 100000.
