The Hon. Jas. Thorington.

This gentleman, as candidate for Con-
gress, addreSset! tie people OF Upton on
the 18th inst Mr.. IIemsteai owing to
conflicting appointments, was unable to
be here at the time, as given out. We
were unable 10 be present aud can there
fore say nothing Of his speech, except il
be to give the positions he assumed. -
1t is true, as said by this gentleman, that
the old issues which formerly were rails
ed as lines OF demarhation between the
two great political parties, have nov in
many respects become obsolete, and ne w
issues have arisen which progressively
lead the people on from the old questions
long since at rest. THIS is progressive
age, and new inventions, new discover
les, new theories, new principles and ne W
questions are arising daily. The old
bone OF contention the L. S. Bank, and
the Tariff, the Mexican War, the Ore.
gon question and 81 40 or fight, and 9th.
ers still further back, have ceased to be
the Distinguishing marks between the po.
litical parties Of the day. There ma,
remain some Of the latest Of the old dl.
viding lines, but recent questions have
arisen which absorb the public mind and
cast ali impenetrablc shadow over them.
Mr.. Thorington dwelt at length upon the
temperance question, on which he is ir
favor Of 'prohibitory law, is thorough
temperance man and will aid in It's exc
cution. He also opposed tina, portion OF
the Nebraska Bill which repealed the
Missouri Compromise, and was in favor
Of repeating it and reins.ating the slave.
ry restriction. Mr. Hcmpstead's posi-
ton on these questions we have heard
but nave it only from hcresay. He will
be here himself 10 give Us his platform.

1t will be seen from this that Polk Is
the Banner township, having increased
at far greater ratio than any other pre-
clnct. 1t will also be seen that in some
of the above we have coupled the town
ships, and for this reason, that since ia
king the census OF '52, new townships
have been made, and others divided and
their boundaries changed, as, for in
stance. Iowa aud Springdalc have in
creased 81 per cent, whereas If each
could be ascertalned BY itself, 1t would
probably be found that that Iowa had In
creased only about - per cent, while
Spflngdale would equal or exceed that Of
Polk, for III reality The heaviest increase
has been in Springdale, which two years
ago was an almost unhrohen prairie, but
now IS we'll settled township. The diff
terent groves through the county hereto
| fore contained the inhabitants OF their Vi
entity; but now, as in the case of Polk
which exhibits the greatest increase, the
! settlers are spreading out on the open
prairie without any regard to the groves.
Also, i'll Pioneer township, the great in
crease there las been on the prairie -
the eastern portloa Of Sugar Greek
which includes the prairie, has increased
at much greater ratio than the western
/ portion, which was we'll settled before
aud III Springdale the increase has been
extremely large, bal like Sugar Creeh
and Rochester, uniting the thrilly por.
tons with those already we'll filed, re.
duces the ratio Of increase. So IN Cen.
tire, large portion oG the population live
IN Upton where the increase Is only
/ per cent, while the balance OF the town,
! snip including Upton is raised to TWEEN
probably without Upton the rate
would be 81 per cent
The entire county shows an increase
OF 20 per cent, winch allowing for tbs
musings oi the assessors, would ia oal
mind increase TIE ratio to thirty per cent
as we are satisfied III some townships
they have fallen shor, Of the mark bal
taking it all in all, it is very fair in.

Liebig (the illustrious German chem
lst) says that asparagus contsns, in com
mon with tea and coffee, principle which
he calls "taurine,' and woich he consid-
ers essential 10 the health of those who
do not take s,rong exercise. Taxing
the hint from Baron Liebig a writer in
the London Gardeners Chronicle was
led to test asparagus as substitute for
coffee. He says: 1.-The young shoots |
first prepared were not agreeable, hay-
ing an alkaline taste. | then tired the
tipe seeds. and these, roasted and ground
make ull-navored coffee, not easily
distinguished from fine Mocha. The
seeds are easily freed from the berries
by drying them in cool oven, and theu
rubbing them on a sieve" In gobd soils
asparagus yields seeds abundantly; and
if they are charged with "taurinc," and
identical with seeds of the coffee print
asparagus coffee may be grown in the
United States at less than half the cos,
per pound Of The article now so lorgely
imported.

The IRISH ExoDus.-The Doublln
correspondent of the London Chronicle
writing on the 9Th Of April says, there is
further increase in shipping, owing to
the great lumber of vessels employed in
the transport oftroops, and the rapid ex-
tension Of emigration from all parts of
the country. Still it is via Liverpool tina,
the bulk OF laish cinigranls proeesd TO
America and Australia; but the Irish
agents are also actively employed, the
ex,eut of their business being limited on
ly by the difficulty of obtaining a supply
OF suitable vessels for the conveyance Of
emigrants. From the port of Doublin
large numbers are constantly crossing by
steamers to Liverpool, destined chiefly
for the United States. In Cork the tide
Of emigration has been 50 formidable
that tho Ordinary vessels are quite insult
ficient, and the local steamship company
has placed two additional steamers ON
the station between Cork and Liverpool.
In Belfast the price at the steerage pas
sage to New York and Quebec has been
considerably advanced. Ii is an impor-
lant fact that the military recruiting party
is still fai.ly successful in this country
Notwithstanding the vast amount Of the
emigration.

Cure for the bite of Snakes

effect OF putting an entire stop 10 tie

the bitten part over the whole swelling
with three or four coats OF the tIncture,
twice daily; and should the swelling ex-
send. which II NEST always does after the
first application, ii made soon after the
lntlicton Of the woun, ne repeats the
application. The thu. application puts
stop TO the extension OF the swelling,
and three or four more will generally re.
store the limb to It's natural state, except,
perhaps, sensibillty to the touch, and sore
ness Of the muscles. (.Aorth Western

whether Iodine is alone depended on for
