er leading democratic organs, as .,'the great con

called upon ito come to the rescue ofhte constitu
ton and to what?-why, TO save III
democratic Office holders, the old rerilers an,
prosecutors of the wings, from political perdi
ton and enable them to remain in office ant
fatten at the public expense. Do these me,
: think that the old line wings, conservative a
they may be, are such consummate simpeton:
as to be cajoled and deceived by professions o
esteem and confidence on the part of the very
men By whom they have been for years pas
sandered, abused, reyiled and denounced
Has any changetaken place in the 'principles'
heretofore advocated BY these self-styled de-
mocrats, or in the policy pursued by them
and carried out by their chief-leader, president
! Pierce, that would entitle them to imagine for
an instant that old line wigs can be so, forget
full of their selfrespect to stulufy themselves
and admit thai in all they have done in sup
port of the Union and thesconstituton against
the ruthless attacks made upon both by the de-
mocracy, they have done wrong? Do they i'm
agine that "the great conservative party of the
Union,'' las they are pleased now to acknow
edge it, can all at once renounce and repud-
ate the principles lis followers have valliantly
battled for during the last twenty years, and
now become the advocates of progressive"
democracy and its thousand and one isms and
wild vagaries? If they do they are greatly
mistaken. The wings were never yet bought
up with, nor guided BY, "biarney." Weknow
the ''old line whigs''-we mean those gallant
spirits who have constituted the bone and sinew
Of the whlg party for years, and, we think, We
know them well-and can tell those democrats
who are laboring SO hard to make them the
ools with which to work out their own partzan
purposes, and thereby keep themselves in pow
IF, that their maneuvres will prove utterly fu-
ile.> These same wings are now, as they have
yer been, 4mericans at heart and in princ-
lies, and as such never did, never can, lend
themselves to aid in sustaining anti-American
octrincs, and to promote ''foreign influence i
t the expense of their own countrymen, They I
'ould as soon think Of deserving the flag Of |
leir country in the hour of peril and joining =,
lie enemy, as they would Of arraying them {
If against the Americans. ]

Medical writers tell us that large portion 4
the food which is daily taken into the human
stem u.s. or should be, thrown off through the Y
respiratory organs. For the knowledge of g
is theory, however, we are not dependent up T.
l the dictun, of medical theorists The incon- q
derate and oyerheated boy whose thirst yields a
lily to the second or third tumbler, understands b
by it is that the water in the next instant is !.
shing out again through every pore of his u
'dy, though he may not know that, in all d
obability, the life Of bis wonderful self de- Il
nds upon that outflow. From this the infer n
zee is apparent that the entire surface of the ~
imam body is constantly being covered with ;r
purlties-that thousands OF little sewers are
er, whether asleep or awake, at rest or in
oton, rolling out upon the surface Of the skin y
C offal OF nature. Need We wonder then that Z
,anlIness should be deemed SO essential to III
aith and comfort, Or that it should, as Arts Vi
lie rated it, be considered itself minor vr- le
