The Buchani ers have found it necessary
10 condemn the Declaration OF lndepen-
dence as fanatical document, aud perveft
the Constitution, They nre now pitching
into the Fathers of the Republic, Washing
ton, Jefferson, Henry and others as men who
had not the foresight and sagacity TO see
What was needed for the country ia these
latter DAYS. Hear what the organ OF the
pro.slavery party in New York has to say
on this subject. VIII the Democrat please
pubIiShl We quote from the Day Book;
The organs 81 deluson and mposture are
striving hard 10 make the people believe
that the seli.styled Republican party enter
tain the same notion OF negro slavery that
Washington Jefferson, Patrick Henry, &c
did seventy years ago. Well, ii this be true,
il they really entertained tie notions pecu.
liar 10 the men Of that day, the fact itsalt
would be anything but creditable TO their in
telligenes, for men So stupid as to remain
stationary when the nation has SO changed,
OF who are so narrow minded and bigoted
as 10 retain a certain view OF things, though
ihese things are thoroughly and radically
changed from what they were, certainly
have nothing TO boast Of and are the last
people in the world TO set themselves up IN
this progressive country as the leaders OF
opinion.
Washington and Jefferson, aud generally
the southern statesmen OF that day, con-
founded negroes with slavery" or the pres
ence of that race with the social relations
that spring spontaneously from their juxta.
position with white men. There were only
a few hundred Thousand of these people, AM
most OF them in localities where the labol
of white men (not free men but white men
was better adapted, and this they mstool
for SLAVERY" or as this was an evil, they
COMPOUNDED it with the relation existing be
tween the races. Since then We have &C
qused vast regions specifically adapted to ne
gro abor. We have monoPolized the cot
ton cultivation OF the world, and these ne
groes have increased to nearly four mill
lions, and though Jefferson and Washing
ton, under the then circumstances, natural
ly enough mis,ook slavery, instead of ne
groes, as an evil, will any one dare TO sa.
that If they lived aole, AMI under existin
circumstances, they would be such thick
headed tsols as to make .ueh d mistaksl

Why so MANY CHILDREN DIE.-lt is
startling fact that very few people
are lit to be parents. Every summer
we are rendered melancholy BY the
terrible record Of the sad havoc death
makes among our little ones. These
deathsare mainly attributed tothe heat
This is only an indirect cause Of the
great mortality among our children
They do not get out ofdoors exertion
enough, particularly in the winter time.
The system of keeping them mutiled
up beside red hot stoves, in apart
ments through which a breath OF fresh
air scarcely ever passes, during the
cold season, predisposes them to dis
ease, and the moment the weather
changes and becomes oppressive, they
sicken and die. Children are also per
mitted to eat an abundance OF candies
cakes, nuts and other trash, which
should never lind access to their stom-
achs, and many parents allow their
very young offspring the use of tea
and coffee. These indulgences create
morbid state of the system, which
eventually produces severe sickness,
and unless the constitution beparticu-
LARRY robust, and the medical treat
ment especially skillful, death winds
up the affair conclusively. Again,
children are not taught the value OF
frequent ablution. There are many
children in this city who seldom or
never feel water, excepting upon their
hands, faces and feet. With enerva-
ted nerves, foul stomachs, and pores
stopped up by impure eXhalations, our
children cannot be expected TO thrive
when the dog star RACES.

day in favor of the defendant. Much inter

Though such an ordnance regulating the

Nor AS ExPEcTEp.--lt was expected that
the change in the location OF The ferry land
ing, would make at least PerceptIble diI-
ference in the amount of business done on
Brady street, but we are assured by rest
dents on the latter that as yet no difference
has been noticed. We presume that such
will continue to be the fact The trade and
business of our city are SO beneiicially div
ided between number Of streets, aud both
are SO steadily spreading and increasing
shM change like the one referred to- will
hardly be the cause of any permanent and
scarcely of any perceptible detriment to
Brady. twill doubtless benefit Main street,
which is well enough, but we are in deci-
dedIy too growing state, for ii to lnJure any
other locality: condition Of affairs which
must be satisfactory to all parties.

Dear Sr--For the sake of justice, and that no
false impressions may go abroad through this viii
lage, in reference to my connection with the dis.
turbance of Public Worship in the Methodist Free
Church, on the evening Of sunday before last,
respectfully request that you will user; tlis in your
paper
| was in the Church but a very few moments that
evening,-going there at about the usual time Of
the conclusion Of the services, Tor the purpose Of
seeing home lady, relation, who had at
tended the meeting. During the Fall | had been in
the habit Of attending their meetings. but since Dr.
Redfed left town, l had on no occasion been there
previous to that evening; consequently, could not
have been among those who had g disturbed the
meetings for number Of evenings
At the trial on Monday afternoon last, being ID
ed by no counsel, and calling no witnesses on my
behalf, the Magistrate acquitted me of any volun-
tary participation in the disgracoful affair and he
authorizes me to say that he gave uttcrancc to no.
thing which he ntcn led as a cou,urc or rcprimand
to me- simply stating that such actions a. appeared
to have been carried on there, ought to have been
promptly frowucd down ny an near by cannot
doubt but that the bcstaud rurc>t Of motive. Undue
Cd those who made the complaint to insist ON an
Interrogation; but, after finding me not guilty, it
seems very unjust aud hard that any insuuatiuus.
such as that special rclrmand was gwen me,
should have been thrown out, and can only think
they originated in mi.couc,pdon of Judge lIol-
lenbecl', remarks, when he delivered his opinion,
at the close of the investigation.
Any one who desires to ascertain the facts, can
do so by personal application to the Justice, who
will, think, readily bear witness to the truth #
