UNHEALTHY PosITToHs OF THE BoDY.--
Those persons engaged in occupations re-
quiring the bapds alone TO move, while the
lower limbs remain motionless, should bear
in mind that without constantly raising the
frame to an erect position, and giving q
slight exercise to all parts of the body,
such practice will tend to destroy their
health. They should, moreover, sit in as
erect position as possible. With seam
stresses there is always more or less stoop-
ing Of the head and shoulders, tending to
retard circulation, respiration and digestion
and produce curvature of the spine The
head should be thrown back to give the
lungs full play The frequent long drawn
breath of the seamstress eyinces the cramp-
ing and confinement of the lungs. Health
cannot be expected without free respiration.
The lite-giving element is in the atmosphere,
and without it in proportionate abundance
must disease intervene. Strength and ro-
business must come from exercise. Con6n-
ed attitudes are in direct violation of cor
rect theories of healthy physical develop
ment and the instinc: OF nature. Those
accustomed to sit writing for hours, day af-
ter day, can form some idea of the exhaust
ing nature of the toilsome and ill-paid la
Dor of the poor seamstress.

The effort tcwerd anion Of the opposition
elements is The State Of New York, has failed
The Republican and American parties, in view
Of union, respectively held their conventions at
Syracuse, last week, and after two days ses.
sion. each adjourned, after having nominuted re-
spectirely ticket offs own. The spirit which
prevailed at the conventions, and the treatment
Of each others committees we're Of the right
stamp, and both parties seemed to indulge the
confident hope Of union against the slave. driv-
ing Democracy. The failure to fuse is attributed
By sesie to one cause, and by othersAo different
ones The true cause of difference does not OPP
pear very palpably in the proceedings, and even
the New York Tribune found it necessary to
make second effort Ofexplanatioo before il ar.
rived at any degree Of clearness. The number
Of Tuesday last, shows that THUR1ow WEED, Of
she Albany Erening Journal was the cause Of
the failure. Mr.. Weed has been, from the first,
opposed to coalesciug with the American party,
and that oppositiop has naturally exposed him
to the hostility to that party According TO tbe
Tribune this hostility was carried into conVea.
tion matters and no liberation was to be given
TO any course bearing bis earrnarks 0n the
contrary the friends Of Mr.. w. determined to
head of this feeling. Mr.. w. was member Of
the convention, and Mr.. MORGAN, the nominee
Of the Republicans, was the friend of Mr.. WESD
This, says the Tribune, they could not and wO'd
not abide.
The New York Courier and Enquirer takes
different view Of the cause of the failure, and
says that the American convention "Hatly refus-
ed to take grounds against the dictG of Chiel
Justice Taney in the Dred Scott decision" The
Republican convention, when this state Of the
facts was reported to them. straightwsy recog
nized that union was out of the question, and
proceeded to re-afirm their principles in series
Of most unequivocal resolutions, and TO put in
nomination men who would, with religious fdel-
ity. abide by them.
The Buffalo Commercial represents that the
whole thing was the work Of railroad manage
rent. THUELow WEED being the champion Of
the N. Y. Central interest," and Mr. MORGAN,
though claiming not to own dollar OF stock 10
that corporation, has been hitherto identified
with every movement for the furtberance Of its
advantages, the purchase Of the State Canals,
etc. Whatever may be the true cause Of the
failure, the result is source Of deep and sincere
regret.
Tho Republicans nominated the following
ticket: Governor. Edwin d. Morgan; Lieut..
Governor Robert Campbell; Canal Commits
cioner, Hiram Gardner; State Prison Inspector,
Josiah K. Everett. The American Conven-
tson nominated the following ticket: Gov. Lo-

The Convention of the American party
of this State, il is well known, was held
at Syracuse, simultaneously with that of
the republicans. 1t closed its labors on
Thursday night, after protracted session
Of two days. with the presentation Of
distinct, representative ticket. OF high re
spectability of character and good ability.
1t is due to political opponent in this coa-
neetion to say, that the Americans were
so far as we could learn, governed in their
deliberations by spirit Of union and high
toned courtesy of bearing. The attempt
at union failed, and at whose door the fault
is to be laid, we will moi pretend to decide.
We have no further hope in this matter
We do not regard coalition Of the two
organizations as practicable, not because
the people in both by greut majority, do
not desire it. bnt because there are promi-
nent leaders in both parties, whose influence
overshadows the popular win and keeps the
chasm which divides them open, and with
out bridge by which to pass from one side
to the other. This leaves the canvass to be
conducted by the three parties distinctly,
with Gerrit Smith fighting on his own hook.
Hence the doubts which hang over the re-
suit become more thick under the prospect
of general scramble for votes.

N. YSQuARANTNE.--A Committee Of the
Commissioners Of Emigration have come to the
conclusion to recommend the erection Of store
houses upon West Bank, a shoal some three
miles below the Staten Island bluff, for the re-
ception of the cargoes Of infected yessels--tke
anchorage for such vessels to be in the Lower
Bay--and the rebuilding Of the Hospitals.
Since the firing and destruction of the build
ings remaining after the first onslaught, matters
have been in very quiet state The anthOri-
ties are now moving, arrests have been made, a
military force stationed on tha ground; and the
attorney general gone to look after prosecutions
From What we can gather, VIC incline to the
opinion, that the perpetrators Of this violence
will ind no difficulty in slipping through the
fingers Of Justice.
