Constitutional Debility or Seminal Readiness

Constitutional Debility or Seminal Readiness
DIR. YOUNG addresses those who have iniur
ed themselves by private and improper indul-
gences in that secret and solitary habit which
ruins the body and mind, uniting them for
either business or society. The following are
some OF the sad and melancholy effects produc-
ed by early habits of youth, viz: weakness of
the back and limbs, pain in the head, dimness
OF sight, loss of muscular power palptation of
the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritablity,
arrangement of the digestive functions, general
debility, symptoms of consumption, &C.
MENTALLY-The fearful effects upon the mind
arc more to be dreaded. Loss of memory, CON
fusion of ideas, depression of spirits, evil fore
bodings, aversion to society, sclf-distrust, love
of solitude, timidity, &c, are most of the evils
produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any of
the above symptoms should not fail to cali on
DR.. Young, and be at once restored to perfect
health. Let no false deicacy prevent YOU. but
apply Immediately, and save yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequences of this terrible
malady.

We are on the eve of an important Primary
Election. In a few days our citizens mot of a
single party, for we are all interested in having
good and faithful men elected to ofice) will be
called on to elect Delegates to the County Con-
vention. These Primary Elections generally
settle the character of the ticket put in nomi-
nation the citizens, therefore, should take in
terest enough in them to see that delegates are
chosen who have in themselves sufficient de-
gree of respectability to put in nomination men
who will fill public position with credit to them
selves and advantage to the public. In the
government of the affairs of great county
like Calaveras, men of the best business capa-
city arc required to fill the different Offices
Every year, in our county affairs, important
questions arise, affecting the prosperity of the
county, and unless our chosen officers are suffi-
cently intelligent to understand the bearings
of these questions, and sufficiently enlarged in
their views to regard public more than private
interests they are liable, in their official acts,
to do a great deal more harm than good Not
only may such persons interfere with the pros
perity of our people through their ignorance,
but they are likely to plunge the county into
debt through their recklessness High taxes,
imposing onerous burthens upon the individual
citizen and upon his business, are the necessary
consequences. The county finances are now
suffering from the ignorant or unscrupulous
conduct of some of our public servants, who
took advantage of every technicality the laws
allowed, to speculate on our county indebted
ness. This experience ought to be sufficient to
show how necessary it is to put men of intelli-
gence and character primary tickets
There are always enough men Of this kind
ready to serve in such positions, if they are not
elbowed out by political place-hunters-
The men most untitled for public officers, are
generally the most forward in presenting them
Selves as candidates, and not being over scru-
pulous in the means taken to secure 1t, they
are the most likely to get the nomination
Every party has such men hanging upon Its
skirts-felows who have no capacity or indus
try to conduct any business for themselves, but
who presumptuously undertake TO manage that
of the public. The experience OF this county
ought to be sufficient to show the folly OF put
ting such men in Office.
If every citizen were to attend the primary
elections there would be sufficient control ex-
efclsed TO have good men in nomination; but
since our citizens generally will not, or do not,
attend, the next best thing they can do, is to
cut every man Off the ticket whom they know
to be unworthy OF public position. No ticket
deserves success which has not men upon it of
character, probity and ability, and no citizens
have the right to complain of bad government
who will not take upon themselves a little
trouble to select at the Primary Elections the
best public men to conduct our County and
State Nominating Conventions.

We observe that the independent city
corporation are moving to levy tar on
the citizensof Lawrence "to meet the cur
rent expenses of the year." We take the
liberty of saying to the "city authorities -
of Lawrence, that if they wish to see
carried out, on a small scale, the hostility,
which the whole people of Kansas, feel
towards the Lecompton Constitution, let
them continue their movement to set in
motion their bastard city government -
When the Territorial Legislature shall

shall be submitted to "a fair and Impair
tial vote of all the legal voters" of Law

iority of them; and officers shall be legal
~ elected under it; then will be time to
talk about leuying tanes; but now it is q
bastard affair, possessing no legal authori-
ty, and the certain tendency of any move.
ment under it will be to produce division
and strife among our people which long
years cannot heal; besides it will inaugu-
rate mumberless suits in the Courts fol

we supposed we had escaped, are just

guide the ship of State safe through, in
this crisis; but by united front. wise
counsels, energetic action and DOING, in
stead of complaining, we can completely
work out the problem we have struggled
SO long to solve. The time has come
when we must quit laboring to destroy
men on the one hand, or trying to build
up Others on the other, and making these
the sine qua non, instead of the triumph

War has Actually Begun

We delay the press to announce the
startling news which reached Lawrence
about one o'clock of Friday morning
last from the seat OF war;" We give in
another article the news which had come
to hand prior to that date.
1t IS reported that regular battle has
been fought between the settlers and a
body of some seventy Missourians, led
on by deputy U. S. Marshal of the
name of Little, and that the latter was
MORALLY wounded. 1t is understood that
he was engaged in making arrests under
the rebellion act. The battle was fought on
Lite Usage, some II or 10 miles from
Moneka.
Rev. Mr.. STEWART, of Wakarusa, is
held prisoner by the enemy. A mes
sage was received from Mr.. ABBOT, which
it is understood was responded to By a
company of cavalry from this city.
A messenger has been sent for Gen.
Lane, who is attending upon the Legis-
lature at Lecompton. Ii was expected
that the Legislature would have adjourn
ed on Thursday morning, but the news
arriving of Mr.. STANToN's removal be-
cause of converting an extra session of the
Legislature, it is probable it will proceed
to annul the entire bogus code while they
are in session.
A messenger arrived at Lecompton, Oh
Thursday, from the seat of the difficult
ties, asking for United States troops. Act
