No man ever performed the duties OF his

THE ONLY NATIONAL PARTY.

Yhe Democracy profess on all occasions
that they are the only national party. A
national party is an organization founded up
on one or more principles that are alike adj.
vocated in all sections of the country. There
must be basis upon which the men act in
common who belong to the party. There
must be general plan Of policy, and this
plan must be common to all sections. Test
ed by this rule. is the Democratic party a
ma tioual party: What measures are alike
advocated by Democrats in all sections? Is
it the slavery question? The Democracy Of
the North advocate sqaatter sovereignty and
Congressional Ron.interventi0n with slavery

mocracy denounce squatier sovereignty aud
advocate Congressional Intervention 70 pro-
tpct slavery in the Territories. They are
not agreed ia this. Il il the TARIFF The

PARALYSIS RESULTING FROM ToBAcco TM-FomED.-Within a few years past tin foil has come into very general use, in the place of paper, as an article in which to put up chewing tobacco for general use- The change was convenient, and the new article grew into favor among tobacco chewers. At first consumers had to pay pretty good price for it. but of late the ar tice has been cheapened But it has just received blow that, we think, must ter minate its entire use. It is now asserted, and with severe experience to support it, that the tin foil has dangerous poisonous qualities. Two cases has just arisen that are calculated to give great celebrity to this belief. Police Justice Bagg, of De- troit, and a prominent citizen of Cincinna- Ii have been attacked by severe strokes of paralysis, induced. as the physicians de- clare, by the poisonous influence of tin foil used by tobacco vendors. If this iudg- ment be sound, we may expect to see at once a general abolition of the use of the article.
