The agitation in the city of New York about
Croton water has had great effect upon
many who have heretofore advocated tempe
rance principles, and has induced large sale
of high priced brandy. Apropos to this, the
lines of a certain German poet are submitted

Because there has been drowned therein
All beasts and mankind in their SIM

is the greatest good for the greatest number.
As such, it is contradistinguished from the
party which resists all improvement because
it is limo ration, which has no faith in the peo
pie, no trust in their honesty, or in their capa-
city for self government; which instead of
looking forward with well-founded hope, is
forever bewailing some general impending
ruin, prophets of woe, forever boding ILL.,"
who in the issue of every popular triumph,
anticipate nothing but destruction to our insti
tutions, the blasting of all our cherished hopes,
and the extinction of all our liberties Moth
ing is more significant of tie great and mar
velous change which has taken place in Mas
sachusetts during twenty years, than the fact
that Caleb Cushing an infdel to the accepted
doctrine of that time, is chosen to expound and
vindicatc the Democratic faith, and that too in
the presence of the remnants of those "proph-
cts of woe," with whom the early faith of
the Democracy was little better than atheism
and treason.

FROM WASHINGTON.


A correspondent of the Hartford Press, writ
ing from Washington, and speaking of the
proceedings in the House on the first day of
the session, and of the assault made on Help
er's book, says
Gentlemen in all parts of the house were
shrieking Mr.. Clerk At last Farnsworth of
Illinois obtained the floor. He desired that
the book the gentleman was discussing might be
redd-he had never read it, and wished to act
understandingly in the matter. He doubted
if the gentleman from from Missouri had read
it. Clark admitted he had not. A general
laugh ensued This was decidedly the hit of
the session, and a better temper prevailed af-
ter it. A motion to adjourn, by Republi-
can. prevailed, and the session was over.
Had another vote been taken, Sherman
would have been elected He will be to-mor-
row, if the Democrats do not prevent it by fill
buStering. 1t is matter of general regret
here that the Republicans did not persist to.

The MUNICIPAL NoMINATIoNs.-One of
the largest preliminary meetings, if not quite
the largest, ever held in this city, assembled
last evening, and resulted in the nomination of
Hon. w. w. Rice for Mayor-a nomination
twice made by majorities sufficient to indicate
the purpose of the party, and worthy to re-
ceive the cordial support of those who believe
in its principles, and participate in its deliber
ations. Mr.. Geo. M. Rice, who received vote
quite large enough to crafty him and his
friends, stands in position to be remembered
hereafter Rumors current in the streets,
while nominations are pending, soon die away,
leaving the only injurious effect upon those
who invent and circulate them. We commend
the nominations made last evening to the fav-
orable consideration Of our readers, and trust
they will receive their active support at the
polls.

TAR AND FEATHERs-The Argument Of Bru-
tahty-The telegraph briefly announced a day
or two since that citizen of Massachusetts,
had been the victim of brutal indignites in
Savannah. The Savannah News states that
his name was Sewall H. Fisk, and that he was
shoe dealer in that city. Mr.. Fisk was
called out of his store at about midnight He
was then placed in carriage and driven a
short distance from the city, where he was
stripped and covered with tar and feathers
from head to foot, his hair having been crop
ped close TO his head. In this plight he was
left to find his way back to his residence as
best he might The charges against Mr.. Fisk
were that che generally expressed abolition
sentiments" and that on the previous Sunday
evening he had read to negroes in his store
These charges Mr.. T. denied. The News "does
Mr. Fisk The justice to say that he visited his
native state a few years ago, where, in pub
lie meeting he defended the institution of
slavery, and brought upon himself the censure
of his relatives, as well as the animadyersion
of the papers in Holston, where he made his
speech"
