~ The people were determined to
say a word in the conlest just closed, or
rather just commenced, on the great
niger question which is continually az
itating the country. They naturally
forgot all minor differences of opinion to
obtain by one blow peace to distracted
country, for, as Junius says: when
the first original right of the people,
from which all laws derive their author
ity. is directly attacked, inferior griev-
ances naturally lose their force, and are
allowed to pass" The right of a peo-
pie to determine the character of the
institutions under which they arc to live,
has been Iuthlcssly trampled upon by
the foot of power, and well meaning men
of juugment and intelligence from all
parties, forgot partisan feelings and
small differences in opinion and rallied
around the standard Of the peoples S
rights. Small differences were lost
sight of in a supposed great principle.
The triumph of despotic power again
ana again will not make people de-
sewing of freedom forgetful of their
rights, nor unncrve patriots to grapple
arew with the monster sucking at the
life's flood of their country. 'Tis only
the rusilanimous who cringe and fawn
and are driven here and there like shut
tle-cocks, with the force of circumstan-
ces tnat promise ease and i2dolence of
effort for the moment among trifiers like
themselves who if they live in history
.a-e only preserved for warnings to
you'll end the execration of true men.
Tie nan who darcs maintsin cause
against great odds, and perseve; again:
all Obstacles, will counterpoise 4 thou
sand craven desertcrs in the hour OF
defeat, in the great balance in which
genuine manhood is weighed.
There may be peculiar organism of
n nature ilscnsibie to shame. The
beir e who possesses it may be expected
to be az acrobat in politics and conse-
4uenfTy a traitor to his professions and
scddndrei in practice. Those sterling
men who have battled ranfuily i'll the
late cont oversy for what they deemed
a ital principle in the government of
their country should rejoice when one of
these segregates himself from an asso-
citation too pure and having TOO exalted
purpose for his companiorship, and
seeks his natural and baser level. The
great battle is still to be fought and won,
and the sooner patriot ranks are weed
ed of traitors the better.

POLITICs.-The word politics is derived
from the Greek word poles, signifying a
city. Hence, politics literally means some
thing relating to a city, but is commonly
understood in a wider sense, as boing the
science of the government of a country.
A mistaken idea of politics is prevalent in
this country. A contest between two can
didates for office is styled politics, and any
one who can mount stump, and talk for
an hour about this and that party, is digni-
fled with the title of politician. Therefore,
when any one hears politics mentioned his
mind naturally recurs to these associations,
and he is disgusted. But this notion re-
specting politics is entirely false. Politics
proper the science of government, is the
most noble of professions, the beau ideal of
all arts and sciences. A mathematician,
an astronomer, or a chemist, is universally
respected as a man of great learning and
application but politician, in the true
sense of the word. must study ten times as
much, for he must know a little of every
thing. Politics is superior to every other
art and science, for upon it depends their
existence. Every nation, famous for en-
Iightenment and learning. has been an
adept in the science of politics. 1t is at
the root of civilization, and in whatever
country it becomes visible it is the shadow
of greatness cast before.-!Souhern Moni-

CAMPHEHE HoMICIDE FOR 1857.--E.
Merriam, the curious man, who lives at
Brooklyn Heights and keeps record Of
everything that occurs, says that fifty nine
persons were killed and seventy-fve per-

pected to recover-by fire resulting from
the use of camphence and other burning
fluids of kindred preparation, during the
past year As to the loss Of property, re-

Merriam puts the figures at sl24, I95, which
are probably too low.

1t is recommended that all poisons
employed or sold by druggists be strongly
colored with carboazotic acid, one grain OF
which is sufficient to impart distinct yellow
color to seventy thousand grains Of water.
This acid has the peculiar property Of
imparting a yellow color to the skin of a
person taking it, as also to any food iu
which it might be mixed. 1t has been
proved not to destroy or in any way modify
the beneficial effect Of prussic acid in which
it had been mingled, and the inference is
that it would prove equally inert in other
poisons, while it would serve to alarm the
user, and indicate the poisonous character
of any preparation in which it had been
mingled.
