The Dog Star, rises and sets with the
sun and will so continue to do, until
the Oath inst. For this reason should
everybody keep cool, and not boil up
to, and above fever heat; because the
thermometer is disposed to do 50. We
know that the country is 'ruined"--
that the world will refuse to revolve,
the stars to twinkle md the sun to
shine, if + rcmont, Buchanan, Fillmore
or Jones, shall be elected President of
this Great nation. But how is it to
be preventede The facts are clearly
written in the uncolated chronicles Of
November, and there is nothing to
avert inevitable destiny. For this rea-
son, gentlemen, pull off your coats
resort to fans and ice water; and la
dies-one and all of you--be comfort
abe--keep cool; your rights will be
understood, and acknowledged BY and
by. One of your prerogatiyes, now !;
is to wear hoops-hoops of any d.
mension, or any other cooling and
comfortable institution. The feminine
male men Of society will growl at you
and complain that it is "aboninable," "
but never mind do as you like--you
haye an inalienable and constitutional
right to do it. For heaven sake,
though-do not wear such arrange
ments as passed our door yesterday
evening "a blouse volaate, with one SOL
itary hoop in the extremity and that
larger round than any sugar hogshead
that ever contained the saccarine prin-
ciple; a regular water cistern hoop Of
a thing.
These are the Dog days, It is a
good thing for US, that We have become
accustomed TO that large and respect
able class Of voters upon whom the
moon exerts her influence; else, now
we should be beset on one hand by
ferocious CANNES, and on the other,
by host, more powerful in numbers
than the army of General Xerxes.
CHARLES SuMNER.r-All will be
panied BY the discouraging state Of
Senator SUMNER health. The WASH
ington correspondent Of the New York
Times writes as follows:
81 learn from excellent authority
that Senator SUMNER is not improving
in health under the influence of the
usually invigoratiug sea breeze His
| physical debility still continues with
perverse tenacity most discourag-
ing symptom in the estimation ofthose
friends who know how vigorous bis
constitution heretofore has been, how
TEN perate his habits, and. perfect his
former health. lie has left Cape May
for the mountains, hoping to be bene-
fitted by the change from sea to noun
tain air but from the evidences be-
fore me, | cannot avoid the melan-
choly conviction that he will never
recover from the effects Of. the Brooks
assault. F"
Aweful to contemplate. We marvel
that lie has survived the modification
Of his wounds SO loug. Nothing has
saved him, but lambs milk, mountain
air, sea-beathing. and the kind solicl
| tation for his welfare, Of few old
grannies in New England. Mr.. Sum
ner no doubt, let bis miscalled " chris
tan feelings guide him inthe matter
of his castigation-s" Ifsmitten on the
right cheek, tnrn the left" What a
precious race Of towards, would we
be, were such sentimentalizing
to pervail. 1t is contrary to common
sense, and at war with every principle
ofnature, to act upon such teaching.
