BUFFALO, Aug. s, 1860.
OF course, the great topic of the day is politics;
everybody talks politics. thinks politics. and acts poll.
tics. Political proce ssons aud demonstrations are the
order of the day. Political banners fly from every
flagstaff and notices Of political meetings are on every
wall! Then why should not your correspondent write
of politics.
Never perhaps in any Presidential contest since the
palmy days of "Tppecanoe and Tyler too," has Buf-
fao felt such string Of excitement in regard to the
great political questions Of the day; never it would
seem, have the minds of the People been SO agitaed,

You viii have seen before this letter reaches you
how senaly the Dsupion candidate for the only State
Office at our election of yesterday was defeated. The
vote in this city stands: Coombs Union, 1885, Nc
CLARITY Preck. DEM, 1,OS7i Boiling (Ind. Douglas
DEM }, go; Hopkins und.), SO. And in the whole
State in round numbers, according to present appear
ances-Coombs, IS 600; McClarty, $1,000 Boiling,
II coo; Hopkins, 3,000-or in that proportion AS in
this city neither Wings, Know Nothings, or Oppos-
tonists ever polled than about 200 in their full
est vote it il evident that the of the Doug
took the surest method TO defeat the Disunion cand
date-though most of the Irish were seduced by the
Mac prefix and the quasi regular nomination of Clinton
McClarty. The pure Breckenridge vote of the city
does not reach 500. A great many of our Republican
friends in CoviDgon and Newport, and few of them
here, were deceived by the bravado of The Louisville
.Journ0l-which foresaw in the triumph of Coombs in
August the sure success Of conservative principles
in the North a. e., the success of the plans Of Hunt,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 7, 1860.
We have iu?t closed the most severely contested
e con we have had in this State for many years, and
Won will have the result before this reaches you AT
this present writing il is doubtful who Is
elected for the Short Term, Blair or Barrett, with
the chances in favor Of the later II Barrett s elect
Il il by the vote of the Union men, who thus repay the
Repubicans for voting their State Ticket. If 1t turns
ont that Barrett lie thus elected it wi effect one good
resut in teaching the Republicans hereafter to adhere
10 their own candidates. and let other parties take care
of the mselyes. We gain nothing by playing INTO the
hands of any other party which is hostile to us. Inc
leaders of the American party here as with You, are
really eagued with the ProSlayery party, and make
decoy ducks for their benefit to carry over the rank
and file. To be sure, the Democratic party have
beaped uron them every epthet of abuse and con-
tempt and in ing with that party they prove false
TO all the principles upon which they first organized as
a party: but having dismissed their principles, they
are up for Cowes and a market
The day of election was one of intense heat, rang
ING from 9Oo TO go during the day aud even
ing: but the political temperature equally high,
and no one seemed to mind the heat. There was how
ever scarcely any drunkenness during the day all

penalty of $780, This is an admirable arrangement,
and being rigdly enforced, secured good order and

The result of the election is clear vindication Of
Mr. Blair allegation of fraud in the electiontwqyears
since Then he charged that Barrett received Illegal
votes in Gravois and Harlem House Precincts, and in
the Ninth Ward. Then Barretts majorities in the

but increased the vote much NEARLY 900, as to

BAD LIoUoR.-A correspondent urges that
if the drinking population of our city could
only be induced to see and hear Dr. Co1's
demonstrations of the poisonous character
of the liquors they are constantly imbibing
they would surely refrain. We do not be-
lieve it. Why should they revolt against
sulphuric acid, strychnine, Prussic acid
ETC., and not against alcohol? Are the for
mer deadly poisons? So is alcohol. So is
Nicotine, the essential principle of tobacco
as has been a thousand times demonstrated
Yet what votary of tobacco ever declined
one chew, one pinch, one Whit, on that ac-
count? 1t is very true that most of the
liquors drank in this city, from what pro-
tends to be pure Cognac down to the mild
est lager beer, are grossly adulterated-or
rather, they are made up in good part of
cheap and deadly substances which differ
radically from those of which they profess
to be extracts. But if they were just what
they purport to be, they would be poisons
STILL and the tendency of such teachings
as Dr. Cox's is to induce blind belief that,
If they were only not adulterated. they
would he innoxious, if not wholesome. If
men will poison themselves, we see not why
they may not as well do it with strychnine
as with nicotine, sulphuric acid or alcohol.
That the former do their work the more
speedily, is a recommendation of one class
or the other; but we do not decide of which.
In this glorious free and enlightened country
if one man chooses to kill himself with a
pistol and another with cleaver, who shall
overrule the choice of the one in favor of
that of the other ~. Y Tribune,

CoRwIx AND BADGnR.-A North Carolina
correspondent of the Boston Post relates
the following:
Badger and Corwin being together on
one occasion, some years ago, the latter en-
tertained the company by telling a story
about the former, which he probably man
ufactured to order, as follows: "When
was prscticing law in Ohio, queer looking
stranger came into my Office and inquired
if WAS Tom Corwin, and being answered
in the affirmative, said he desired to employ
me as counsel in an importrnt law suit
Well, what's the case said I-sit down and
tell me the story" The case is just this
yere, said my client g. belong to North

who lived on the plantation. He then fled
to the woods, but was captured by the dogs
which we're Immediately put upon his track,

back. A council of the neighboring plan
tsrs, before whom he was tried, decided to
burn him at the stake, which was done in

several of the adjoining plantations, all of
whom seemed terrified out of their wits on

RoMANrIo.-The New York Tribune says
that Mr.. Hart, Surveyor of that Port, has
fallen heir to an estate under the following
romantic circumstances. Years ago, when
in Prris, q lovely Jewess became enamored
of him, but he did not return the passion.
When he came back to New York, he still
remained the object of her tender recollec-
tions, which were shown by her sending
him, on the several annual feast days of her
ancient faith, valuable presents-sweet me-
mentoes which only the delicate taste of
woman knows how to summon up. Every
feast of the Passover, as well as every 9TH
er Mosaic day of mark, accordingly there
were dispatched to this city sentimental
objects of art and vertu and neither dis
tanee, time, nor the absence of reciprocity
treaty, could abate her love the least. As
she was faithful in life so was she true in
death, for the news arrived the other day
that the poor lady had gone to the better
world, and dying, bequeathed to Mr.. Hart
an estate. 1t was legally necessary for him
to go abroad to look after it, and accord
ingly he sailed few days ago for Hamburg
where the estate lies.

A MIssHG WIFE TURNS uP.-Some IL years
ago . seaman named John Cosgriff, was
married in New York, to Ann Reed. After
8 struggle with poverty, at the end of two
years they broke up house keeping, she
going out to service, and he going to sea.
After few voyages he came to Boston, and
getting work at the Navy Ysrd, has remain
ed there eight years. A few days since
he went with friend to the boarding
house of Simon Ahern, in Moon street,
recognized her as his own wife. After he
and his friends had been treated he asked
the woman if she remembered her first
husband, and she replied that she knew
many of them. He claimed her as his wife,
when Ahern said she was also his wife, and
he (Cosgriff) might do his worst about it.
Since then Cosgrif has been unable ia get
q sihgt of the woman, but he has offered to
settle the matter with Ahern for consider
alton. This the latter refuses to give, and
in consequence he has been complained of
for adultery.
The case was examined in the Police
Court of Boston and Ahern was ordered to
recognize to appear for trial before the Sup
erior Court, in May.

CHANcEs OF LlFK.-We have an old docu-
ment in our possession, which contains
some interesting informatian unknown to
many, and rarely encountered in the papers.
Among other things, it contains a table ex-
hibiting an average age attained by persons
employed in the various popular professions
Of the day. Inparticular, as in most others,
the farmers have the advantage over the
rest of mankind, as their average age is
sixty FIVE. Next upon the docket comes
the judges and justices of the peace, the
dignity of whose lives is heightened out to
sixty-four. Following, then, Immediately,
in the category Of longevity, 10 the bank
oficer, who sums up his accounts at the
age of sixty three. Public officers cling to
their existence with as much pertinacity as
they retain their places-they never resign
their Offices, but life forsakes them at fifty
six.-Coopers, although they seem to stave
through life, hang on until they are fifty
eight. The good works of the clergymen
follow them at fifty fve. Shipwrights, hat
ters, lawyers and rope-makers (some very
appropriately go together at the age offifty
four. The "Village Blacksmith" like most
of his contemporaries, dies at fifty one.
Butchers follow their.. bloody career for pre-
wisely half century. Carpenters are bro
night to the scaffold at forty-nine. Masons
realize their cry of snort p at the age of
forty-seven. Traders cease their specula-
tions at forty-six. Jewellers are lisgusted
with the tinsel oflfe at forty-four. Bakers,
manufacturers, and various mechanics, die
at forty-three. The painters yield to their
collie at forty-two. The brittle thread of
the tailor's life is broken at forty-one. Ed
! itors like all other beings who come under
the special admiration of the gods, die COM
paratively young: they accomplish their er-
rand of mercy at forty. The musician re-
deems his last note, and plays his dying fall
at thirty-nine. Printers become "dead
matter" at thirty-eight. The machinist is
usually blown up at thirty-siI. The teach
er usually dismisses his school at the age
of thirty-four: and the clerk is even shorter
lived, for he must needs prepare his balance
sheet at thirty-three. No account is given
of the average longevity of wealthy uncles
the inference is fair, therefore, that they
are immortal.
