01-r Mr. D. B. Cargie is agent for the True Democrat at Quitman, Van Buren county.

CseF The Gazette seems much disturbed at the fact that Senator JOHNSON has franked several of Capt. Pkes circulars to citizens of this State. The editor says his senatorial frank is looked upon as an endorsement of the movement proposed by Capt. Pike. This is a rich idea, truly. If a senator was responsible for every thing he franked some of the ruest men in the south would be responsible for some of the veriest abolition sentiments ever uttered Southen senators very frequently frank aboli7 tlOn speeches to their constituents for the pur. pose of letting them see and understand the tactics of abolitonsts.
 The editor of the Gazette objects to the cir culation of Pike'S address-ttere Ss a0tere the shoe pinacles. Capt. Pike's address is a potent weapon against Know Nottingham, and the ed- tor does not wish to see it in the hands of the people. What Pike has said of Know Noth- ingism is true-s authoritative-itis is gospel, for he was one of the Know Nothing apostles
 The editor of the Gazette may abuse Pike as much as he pleases--it is fun for us for it is family quarrel-but the home thrusts of the Captain, he cannot parry by mere abuse - When facts and arguments are to be met, the people want something else than mere abuse.

THE KNOW NOTHING STATE COUNCIL is in session to-day (Monday,.. April 28th) in this place. Judging from the paucity of the num- Der of delegates present, there cannot be much enthusiasm in the order. What the council will do, is yet wrapped in secrecy.

 Dear Sir:-You will please announce through the columns of your paper our with drawal from the reasonable order known as the Know Nothing or self-styled American party, and our return once more to the old democracy. Federalism died because it was anti-republcan, whiggery died because it was not republican. Know Nottingham, the most reasonable of either, will soon be dead, but democracy will live when all other parties and factions of par ties will be dead and buried without leaving a trace of anything behind them, save the dis grace that marked their course.

PULASKI DEMOCRATIC MEETING.-We call the attention of our democratic and anti Know Nothing friends to the proceedings of our coun- ty meeting. The nominations made are we think, first rate ones, and should command the support, not only of democrats, but of all good citizens who are opposed to the wretched, pro- scrptive features of Know Nottingham.
 We shall take occasion, probably in our next, to notice more fully the excellent speeches delivered upon the occasion. All we have time now to say, is, that we havea good ticket and one that will win

Democratic Meetings.

We have the proceedings of numerous demo- cratic meetings upon our table, which, owing to the lateness of their reception and the crowded state of our columns, we are compelled to defer to our next issue. We shall publish them all in due time
 Next Monday, the State democratic conven- tion meets in this place. We believe eveyy county in tue State has held meeting and ap- pointed delegates. We trust they will be all represented by the delegates chosen. If so, it will be by far the largest political meeting ever held in the State We say then, come all.

Gentlemen, our right hand offelowship and our hearty congratulations and mutual reoic- ings with you, on your happy escape from the clutches of Sam. Sam's a naughty fellow-he told you lies, and tried to imprison you in calaboose of oaths and lanterns We don't wonder that you should give him a final fare we'll and again walk boldly upon the broad old platform which has no imprisoning walls around it, but has ever all atmosphere of free dom waiting through its bowers of beauty, the breathing of whose purity invigorates the soul, and nerves the arm to strike for the heaven born boon of equality and the rights of man. Gentlemen it is a great thing to be free and we know that your past experience causes you to appreciate in no little degree the magnitude of its greatness.-Hempstead Democrat.

California Politics.

The extract below is from the California cor respondent of the New Orleans Picayune. It is an encouraging, though not surprising fact, that next fall California twill throw large de- mocratic majority"
 | The effort in California to resolve the Know Nothing party into black republican organi- zation is nothing new. It is being done with great success in almost every free State in the Union. The Know Nothing party in the free States has never been any thing else than aJo- htionism in disguise.
 The legislature of California is now Know Nothing. The fact that resolution deprecat- ing the election of Banks as speaker of the House failed, is significant one The effort to resolve the order into aboitionism will not be very strenuously resisted by men who decline "to deprecate the election of Banks"
 "The political couldron begins to bubble with us as with you. The State democratic convention, for the election of delegates to the Cincinnati national convention, met at Sacra- mento on the 9th inst. After harmonious session, the business of the party was satisfac- torily settled by the choice of delegates devot- ed iist last and always to the interests of ames Buchanan, of Pennsylvania. In fact inc con. vention, to make the thing more sure, instructed its delegates to vote for Old Buck
 An effort is making to resolve the Know Nothing party here, which is at present in the ascendency, as also the whigs, into "republ- can" organization, and the effort may to great extent be successful. But think it may be set down certain, that California next fall will throw large democratic majority. Last week, resolution was introduced into our le- gislature deprecating the election of Mr. Banks as speaker of the House of Representatives, but after thorough discussion, the Solons of Sacramento came to the sensible conclusion not to mix in with the nigger fight, as we little too far from the scene of action to effect much on either side; and, besides, have enough to do to take care of ourselves"
 SToRMs.--We make the following extract from note from friend in Benton, Saline county, dated April 27th
 We had a terrible storm here yesterday evening about sun-down, and the road is so ob- structed with timber that do not know whether the mail can go to-day Our town suffered se- verely--six or eight houses blown down, and others damaged. No body killed. but MT. Packs wife and oldest daughter badly hurt They were in their dinning room when tell in. Fences, palings and shade trees are blown down every where. We are all at work to-day, (Sun- day) Very truly, etc." | We also learn that the storm was very severe on the road leading to Pine Blutf-having lit | terly covered the road with trees.

 Paducah, April 9th, 1856. Dear Sir: Your letter of the 24th ult., hav- ing been placed in the post-office at New Or leans, has this moment reached me; from which learn that 1t is your intention to move to, and take charge of democratic paper at Hele- ma. Remembering the ability and unwavering consistency which for so long period marked your editorial career in this quarter, our entire democratic population will join in regretting your removal from among us, and in congratu- lating our brethren of Arkansas on account of the additional strength which your iabors will give to the editorial corps of that State.

THE SCIENTIFIC CONGRESS.

While our national congress has been QUARREL
ing over the array bill, quite another sort OF a
congress has been discussing questions Ut perhaps
equal Importance. The American Association for
the Advancement Of Science held its session at Al
bany, n. Y, last week, and drew together all the
sardas OF the country. All the ologies were repre-.
sented, and some Of the isms. There we're nstrOn-
omers shining like the star, and geogrophers as
solid as the hills. Entomologists and ArchGO.o-
gists, biologists and Ethnplogists, Biologists and
lchthyologists all sat down traternnlly together to
discuss every thing pertaining to the earth and
the Inhabitants thereof. I G topics ranged from
the movements Of the heavenly Sodics, down to
the habits of bugs and zOophytes.
1t was the fashion in the days Of Iludibras to
poke fun at these learned bodies to ridicule THEN

AN APPEAL.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER

Men of the North beneath your very eyes,
BY hearth and home, your real danger lies.
Still day by day some hold of freedom falls,
home-bred traitors fed within its walls
Men whom yourselves with vote and purse sus-
tain,
At posts of honor, influence, and gain;
The right Of Slavery to your sons to teach,
And 'South.side' Gospels in your pulYits preach !;
Transfx the Law to ancient freedom dear,
On the sharp point Of her subverted spear,
And initiate upon her cushion plump
The mad Missourian l%ynching from his stump,
Till even J~efIreys' envious ghost complains
OF dangerous rivals in your Griers and Ksnes;
Or in your name upon the Senate's floor,
Yield up to slavery all it asks, and more
AnG, ere your dull eyes open TO the cheat,
Sell your old homestead underneath your feet!
While such as these your loftiest outlooks hold,
While truth and conscience with your wares are
sold,
While grave.browed merchants band themselve
to aid
An annual man-hunt for their Southern trade,
What moral power within your grasp remains,
To stay the mischief on Nebraska's plain?
High as the tides Of generous impulse flow,
AS far rolls back the selfish underfow;
And all your brave resolve, though aimed as tru,
As the horse-pistol Balmawhnpple drew,
At Slavery's bastions lend as slight a shock
AS the poor troopers shot to Stirling rock

"Surely such an amount of drainage rs seventy
three feet IN every squaie inch Of skin, assuming
this to be the average for the whole body, is some
thing wonderful and the thought naturally ~intrudes
itself. What it this drainage were obstruct5os
Co ud we need a stronger argument for enforcing
the necessity of attention to the skin On 'he
pulps Of the fingers, where the ridges OF the sensl-
i've lacr Of tue true skin are somewhat liner than

''ro obtain nm estimate of the length of tube of
the respiratory system of the whole surface 0i the
body, | think that $50 might be taken as u fair
average of the number of pores in the squire inch,
and 200, consequently, of the number of inches in

"The respiratory system of the skin is one OF
the usual channels 10y which excess of water is
removed from the blood, and in e~ffecting this pur-
pose, the perspiratory function becomes a regula-

persyiratiun is always taking place, even in Il pas.
sive state of the body, and passes off in the form
of an imperceptible vapor, which is therefore
termed 'uSeHSl5te preparation But when the
muscular system is in exercise, when chemical
coordination is active, and the nervous syst m ex-
cited, the perspiration is no longer insensible; 1t
becomes perceptible, and more or less aIund'
ant, and is then denominated sensible PeTSprd-
ton.
THE existence of perspiration in its insensiblc
or sensible state bears relation, however not merely
to the quantity of p~erspired fluid, but also to the
atmosphere. Thus, in a close, damp day, when the
atmosphere is warm, and already charged with
moisture. it is incapable of receiving that of the
skin, and the ordinarily insensible vapor becomes
condensed in a sensible form. On the other hand.
when the atmosphere is dry, and the body or air il
motion, TIE moisture is carried away so RAPIDLY
that the sensible, under ordinary circumstances
becomes an insersible perspiration. The tern
insensible perspiration,' therefore. properly ap
plies to the imperceptihle evaporation from thu
skin when the body is at RESI-, or in gentle mo
