TuE grave question, as lager beer intoxica.
ting?" appears to have been seettled at last. a
jury in Geneva, n. Y have decided in the affir-
NATIVE The case was this: "The Excise Com
mssioners sued A. w. Drawer for selling lager
beer without license. He admitted the fact,
but alleged the Notwithstanding qualities of the
beer. In support of this, witnesses swOre to
drinking one hundred glasses a day without
becoming drunk. Others testified differently.
Mr.. Drawer, to test the matter, furnished a
quantity of lager, aud had it analysed The re-
suit of the chemical process showed that two
quarts of that lager produced about one half
pint of genuine whisky. Those witnesses who
drank one hundred glasses in day would take
down about six quarts of whisky with it; enough
we should think, to make human being feel
slightly exhilerated. Judge Folger conducted
the prosecution, and before he had concluded
his speech Drawer took fright and ran away
The jury brought in verdict of 500 against
him. So let it no longer be doubted that man
can become drunk on lager.

IT beats all, what passion that man, the
Washington City Telegraph Agent, has for
"ciem roin ritin." No fellow in the court room
is safe from sketch of his personnel, including
his hat, brooches and boots. This morning he
''does" up poor Woodbridge. What singular
thing it is, that Woodbridge "sits near Sickles'
father" He is not of consumptive make at
ALL at nlI-on the contrary he is tall and pow
erfully built" Neither is he superannuated,
being only in his prime-about ''a5 years of
nge" lie is, however, lame of limb, which
may be considered drawback to his imposing
physique. This defect however, is measurably
compensated for by "a thick moustache"-but.
still, the poor man "has no whiskers." Neither
have we-that is, not much-but rather than
the poor fellow should want, we would sell out
to him.
We suggest to the chip Basket to get n wood
cut of this Telegraph man.

The old organ of the Ohio Democracy
the Cincinnati Daily Enquirer-speoks as
follows to the Southern Democracy. 1t
says it might as we'll be understood at once
AS it certainly will be understood at the
Charleston Convention-that there is no
difference between the position of Mr..
Douglas, and that OF the entire sound North.
ern Democracy on this questionable ques.
ton of slavery in the Territories. He en-.
tertains no opinion on this question not held
by the entire body Of the conservative De.
mocracy of the North. Pugh has expressed
the same views on the floor of the Senate.
No Senator from the North dissented from
them. No Northern statesman, who values
his political life or reputation, dares gainsay
them-not township in the free States can
be carried after their discardal. The En-
qutrer warns the Democracy of the South of
"the rock they ere drifting on-of the dan.
gers that will result from an interpolation of
the Cincinnati PLATFORM" and adds:
"The Northern Democracy cannot blink
this question; they cannot sIur it over. 1t
is one that concerns their manhood, their
respectabilty, their honor. They made a
solemn engagement with their Southern
brethren-as solemn and as Just covenant
as ever before was made. They cannot
permit this compact to be overridden and
disregarded; they cannot allow their public
men, who simply stand up and defend it, to
be stigmatized as "traitors," and read out of
the Democratic party, without a complete
aacrifice of their independence as men and
their resPectability as citizens-without, in
one word, personal degradation. To sup.
pose them capable Of permitting one of their
statesmen, who does no more than fear essy
announce their own opinions, but to be cut
down in their eyesight, presupposes a servil-
ity and an uhspeakable cowardice that sinks
them beneath contempt and to level with
the tame rabbits and whipped spaniels."

From MRXieOi

The steamship Tennessee brings rather
important news from the county of reVolu'
tions and pronunciamentos. The govern.
ment of Miramon was preparing to issue
SIS, 100000 Of paper money, and also to
exact forced loan from the natives in sums
of from 50 to $500 on each individull.-
Jusrez, the Liberal President, has issued an
important Decree, which will be beneficial
to the Government and country at large IL
it can be carried into effect. Comonfort
tried the same policy, but was revolutionized
out of Office through the efforts Of the Cer E
gy before he had advanced very far in his
programme. The Juarez Decree is In sub.
stance as follows
/. Cuts asunder Church and State by pro.
hibiting the clergy from holding any civil
offices, and throws them upon the voluntary
contributions Of the laity for support.
Q. It nationalizes all the church property
of Mexico, except the houses Of worship,
the nun Deries, cemetries, &C., actually oc.
cupied for religious worship and teaching.
8. 1t orders the sale of all the secular
property of the church, within given time
and gives liberal time to pay it in.
4. II curtais the national expenditures by
dscontinuing many unnecessary foreign
missions, sc.
5. 1t abolishes interior custom houses and
interior taxes on imports and exports.
A Vera Cruz correspondent of the N. o.
Picayune gives his opinion in regard to af-
fairs very concisely and perspicuousy. He
says:
The course which the Juarez Government
intends to pursue looks very we'll on paper,
but when will it possess the means to carry
out single article !
My predictions are that the present atate
of affairs will last forever if succor and aid
is not received from the United States.
The decay Of Mexico is inevitable, and in
my opinion it is falling to pieces last.
We want new element brought here to
bear upon the country as an example TO the
nations, and to the rest of the world, that
this present mixed race of Mexico is unit
for the development Of its resources.

The True Issues.

The Democratic party always advocate
principle-always makes its issues to the
people in plain, direct, we'll defined man
ner. In the approaching election no Con
gressmen are to be elected. 1t is strictly q
State election. State and not Nationa
questions are now to be passed on. Kansas

and the destiny of Kansas to become free

Democratic principle Of Popular Sovereign.
ty, is conceded fact. The occasoa which
furnished the pretext for the fusion party is
now ended. Congressional wrangling was
brough ht to the attention of the people last
fall, and year from next fall national issues
will come again under review. But in tn,
Ohio elections OF the present year, State is
sues'strictly and solely are made. A cotem.
porary enumerates the following among the
matters to be decided upon at the October
election

taken from the people BY burdensome tax.
alton, and voted for by every Democrat, and
against by every Republican,, is at stake.
I'd. Equal taxation upon the property of
all persons in the State, is at stake.
Sd. The abuses and pecuIations upon the
treasury. and the prostitution of different
departments of the State TO base political
purposes, under Governor CHAsE's rule.
4th. The corruptions OF the Ohio Life
Insurance and Trust Company, and other
republican and whig wrongs.
9th. The unprncipled and corrupt com.
bination of whig and abolitonists, men en-
tertaining adverse opinions on great public
measures both State and National, united
under bargain for the acquisition Of power,
and the distribution of offices.

Democracy North and South.

The recent Democratic State Conventions
of Vermont and Georgia were held on the
same day. The Vermont convention re-
solved as follows:
That the Democracy of Vermont, in the
language of the Cincinnati National Demo.
cratic Convention of 1856, recognize and
adopt the principles contained in the organic
law establishing the territories of Kansas
and Nebraska, as embodying the only sound
and safe solution of the slavery question
non interference by Congress with slavery
in the State or territory, or in District of
Columbia.
The Georgia convention resolved as fol-
lows.
That the Democratic party OF Georgia
continues to adhere to the principles all.
nounced by the National Convention of
Cincinnati in 1856, and its determination
to insist upon their being carried out in the
administration of the Federal Government.
