Mr.. BUCHANAN's RESPONSE TO HIS Nom
INATIoN-Mr Buchanan's letter in response
to his nomination is published here this morn
ing. After expressing the qualification he en-
tertains at the high political honor conferred
upon him, he is deeply sensible Of the varied
responsibilities attending the Presidency, es-
pecially at the present crisis, and he carefully
refrained from seeking the nomination. He
cordially concurs in the sentiments of the
platform relative to civil and religious liberty,
and, regarding slavery, thinks it rapidly APP
preaching inality. The Kansas act does
no more, in his opinion, than give the force
of law to the elementary principles of self
government. He says: "May we not hope
that it is the mission of the democratic party
now the only surviving conservative party
to overthrow all sectional parties, and re-
store peace, friendship, and mutual confidence
among all the members of the confederation
This conviction has induced many formerly
differing with us to join the democracy, to de-
vote themselves to the Constitution and the
Union. | most cheerfully pledge myself,
should the nomination of the convention be
IduHOu Wy VIC people, tldI wi Iho Po
influence possessed by the Executive shall be
executed in firm and conciiatory spirit, du-
ring the single term shall remain in office,
to restore the same harmony among the SIS
ter States which prevailed before the apple
Of discord in the form of slavery agitation,
had been cast into their midst" He further
says: "The foreign policy should be con-
Quoted with wisdom and 6rmness, to insure
the prosperity of the people at home, while
the interests and honor of the country are
maintained abroad. The foreign policy ought
ever to be based upon the principle of doing
justice to all nations, and requiring justice in
return. If elected, will use the best efforts
to cultivate peace and friendship with all ma
tions, believing this the highest policy and
the most important duty; but shall never
forget, should necessity arise, that our nation
al honor must be preserved at all hazards and
sacrifices"

GEN. CAss ON RIFLE RELIGIoN.-Gen.
CAss in letter to a committee at Boston
who had invited him to attend the Buchan-
an ratification meeting in that city wrote
"Our nominees are worthy of our confidence,
and besides their personal claims, they are
the representatives of that great party Of
Washington, and Jefferson, and Jackson,
which knows no country but the whole coun-
try, and no people but the whole American
people; and which believes that every por-
tion of the republic were left to manage its
own way, without external interference, and
if more charity and less virulence were exhib-
tied; more of the gospel of Jesus Christ and
less of Sharps rifles issued from the arsenals
of some of the churches; that the good old
days of peace and fraternal regard would
soon return TO cheer the land" This is cap
ital good sense as well as a capital rebuke OF
the rifle religion of the day, of which the Rev,
erends Ktchell and Mumford are opponents in
this city. Detroit Free Press.

DRINK LESS WITH Your MEALs.-One

DRINK LESS WITH Your MEALs.-One
great error that we commit is that we drink
too much at our meals. Before we have suf-
fciently masticated and insalivated our food
to enable us to swallow it, we force it down
by taking water or warm drinks. This not
only dlutes the saliva, but weakens the ac-
tion of the gastric juice after the food gets
into the stomach. Most persons take swal-
low of fluid with almost every mouthful of
food. Look along the side of the dinner ia
bic in any of our hotels, and you will be sur
prised at the quantities which are drunk du-
ring the meals; and if your mind be not too
much taken up with observing the errors of
Others, you may discover the small evil in
yourself, and thus be led to correct it. This
habit sooner or later ends in producing dys-
pepsia and constipation, than which there are
no affections more destructive of comfort and
health. When we are thirsty, at our meals
or at other times we should drink to allay
such thirst only. All solid food should be
thoroughly ground and mixed with saliva in
the mouth, unaided and undiluted by water
or other drinks. Rely upon it, this apparent
necessity for drinking is mere habit which
we can correct at will, and all who prize
health at its true value will not consider its
preservation or purchase too high at the cost
of attention to so simple matter.
In this age of tobacco smoking and chew
ing the salivary glands seem to be turned to
a new oflice-that of cleansing this filthy mar
cotic from the teeth and gums. Were they
endowed with language, verify they might
exclaim:
"To what vile uses have we come at lastW
Who can wonder at the hollow and wan
cheeks of mankind, when such continuous
drain is established upon them--a kind of
perpetual catarrh or lackrymoSiS of the
mouth. Take warning by what we say. If
you have good digestion, proper action of the
system, and full, ruddy checks, eat slower,
masticate your food better, drink less at your
meals; and you who smoke, if smoke you
will, avoid splitting as much as possible. The
latter have a two-fold reason ror observing
our last injunction; they will save, at the
same time, their own health and the feelings
of their friends.

BREcKENR1DeE AT HoME.-The Louisville
Democrat says: "We understand that the
excitement in Lexington, upon the reception
of the news of the nomination of Hon. John
G. Breckenridge for the Vice Presidency, was
tremendous beyond the powers of description.
The nomination of Buchanan had just crea-
ted the widest enthusiasm, but, when it was
known that Kentucky's favorite son had been
placed on the ticket, the whole population
seemed mad with Joy. This feeling will not
be confined to the home of Mr.. Breckenridge.
AS the news spreads out over the rural dis
tricts, one universal shout will 90 up from the
valleys to the hill-tops, and from the hill-tops
to the valleys again. We venture the pre-
diction that one hundred know-nothing coun-
ellis of this State will be disbanded before the
first Of July next"

For THE GREAT LAKEs.-The United
States surveying steamer, Jefferson DaUis,
Captain McArran, arrived here from Phila.
delphia on Saturday last. She is quite toy
of a concern, painted brightly; having one
mast and one chimney, an upright walking
beam, white paddle boxes, red wheels and
black hull. She will be an excellent gun
boat for the Americans; and with guns in
her hold, as we are informed, she is to be per-
mitted to pass up our canals to make sur
vey of Lakes Ontario and Erie for the Unit.
ed States government. We seriously doubt
the propriety of permitting American gov
ernment vessels to find their way to the great
lakes through our canals.

DEMocRAcY.-No man is a democrat who ID
low, mean and selfish, and possessing narrow
contracted spirit. Pride is an enemy to del
mocracy; SO is faction, so are cliques. De-
mocracy is the same nall places and all times.
1t labors for the poor, the despised, and the
oppressed. 1t requires honesty, integrity,
capacity and infexibility of purpose in its fol-
lowers. 1t rejects the cunning, the base, the
sordid, the wicked. 1t rises above error, ex-
poses sophistry, and looks around and abroad
for objects Of commiseration. Democracy de-
msnds the language Of TRUTH and dignifed,
plain exterior. 1t delights not in pomp and
gorgeous trappings. 1t looks to the heart
and mind, and not to the purse, for the man.
Its standard bears the flag of equal rigts, and
its pedestal rests on the rock of justice and
humanity. 1t rebukes prohigacy, and chas-
tises fraud. 1t exposes intriguing and hoary
headed vice to public condemnation.

PRoPHETIo.-The following paragraph APP
peared in the N. Y. Journal Of Commerce,
of April 26th. The prophesy therein con-
tained is now in course of realization:
"The nothing city councils of Phila-

Independence for the reception of the Hon.
James Buchanan. Never mind; the people
will furnish him hall after the 4th of March
next, which will be sufficient for all practi-
cal purposes"

DENMARK.-The report of the expected ar
rival of American ships of war in Danish
waters has led the government of Denmark
to take measures of preparation for whatever
turn events may take. The corvette Nyade
has been despatched in haste to the Danish
West India Islands, and the greatest exer-
tions are being made to complete the fitting
out of several vessels. Among these is the
frigate Rota, of AZ guns, which, as soon as
completed, is to be stationed at Belbeck, the
narrowest part of the Sound, so that all ships
passing must come within range of her guns.
Another steam frigate, 46 guns, will be
launched with all her machinery on board, in
about week. The steam corvette Hiemdel,
% guns, and a screw gunboat, on the British
model, are also being fitted out.

EVIL CoMPANY.-Sophronius, wise teach

to associate with persons whose lives were not

when he had refused to permit her to 90 in
company with her brother to visit the frivo-

weak and childish, since you are afraid that
it would be dangerous to us in visiting Lucin-
da."
Without saying a word the father took a
coal from the hearth and handed it to his
daughter. at will not burn you my child p

she looked at her hands and dress, "one can

not burn you, has, nevertheless blackened
you. So is the company of immoral per-
