TnE NEXT DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE.-THE Sc
lection OF Charleston for the place of holding
the Democratic Convention gave rise to good
deal Of discomfort among the delegates and
others who were anxious to be present at that
exciting and momentous affair, from the fact
that the metropolis of South Carolina was rather
en- Out-of the-way place, very hard to get at
from New York and Washington, and possess
ing very small advantages for the accommo-
dalton of an unusual number of visiters. Des-
pite all remonstrance, however, the Convention
has met there, and 80 far things seem to have
gone ON pretty we'll. We do not hear much
prumbling about bad fare, short allowance Of
provisions, or extoItionste prices; but at the
same time 1t ia clear that Charleston is not the
place tor such An event to come off in. New
York is the most at and proper location for the
Democratic Convention, and We would suggest
that when it meets again, four years hence, 1t
shall assemble here in the great commercial me-
ropo,is Of the republic. This Is the centre not
aloIe OF commerce, but of political sentiment
Everything which contributes to the greatness
ana importance OF the nation is concentrated
here; moreover every one wants to come to
New York; there is something to be seen and
heard in the metropolis that possesses interest
Tor every body; its means OF accommodation
are Unlimited, and the influx of ten times as
many as the Convention might call together
would not make the slightest difference in the
hotel charges or anything else. The Conven-
tion now IN session contemplates empowering
he National Democratic Committee to appoint
he time and place for the next Convention.
This is the mode adopted by the republican
party, and it is undoubtedly the correct one.
We hope that the committee viii see the Wis
com of selecting the city Of New York as the
place of meeting for the Democratic Conven-
ton of 1854

The ANNIVERSARY SEAsoN-The anniversa-
ries commence to-day. two meetings being an
nounced to come of; after which the campaign
will be suspended until the 9Th of May, when
it will be resumed in full blast, and continue
until the 18th. We observe that there are
more than the usual number of anniversa-
ries to come off this year, from which we ar
que that the funds are getting very low, for 1t
is well known that the real object of these an
nual gatherings Of the sanctim0Dious and phi
lanthropic philosophers Is to extract money
from the plethoric pockets of the citizens Of the
metropolis. 1t is quite probable, however,
that the excitement which the Charleston Con-
vention is creating will take away good deal
ofinterestfrom the anniversaries politics being
more absorbing than religion or philanthropy
just now, pending the great quadrenniAI strug-
gle Of the country.

The GREAT FIGHT AGAN--CoMMKNTs or THE
BRITISH PREss.-We close up to-day ourrecord
of the greatest event Of the age-one that has
made as much talk as the Atlantic tele'
graph, and . great deal more than the
japanese Embassy, or the visit Of H. R. II.
the Prince Of Wales-0f course We allude
to the International muscular contest between
the champions of the British Lion and the
American Eagle. Included with our extracts
of today will be found q very graphic
description of the eight taken from the London
Times 1t is done without slang or COARSE
ness of any kind, and may serve as . model for
some reporters ON this side of the water, who
seem to think that the more incomprehensible
they can make their accounts ofsporting events
the cleverer they are. We also print an elabo-
rate article from the London Chronicle, which
takes ground in favor Of the muscle men, and
gives out tina. the Prime Minister Of England
himself is not averse to manly sports. The
London Daily Nesos has some indignant COM
ments upon the bsrbsrity Of the fight; but the
general tone of the British press seems to be
s favorable towards the gladistors.
We presume that It would be Of ne more use
to preach against prize fighting here than in
England. Pugnacity runs in the Anglo-Ssxon
and Celtic blood, and comes out in the extremi-
ties Everybody fired up when the news by
the Vanderbilt was promulgated. Everybody
who had not time to read the papers ON Satur.
day took them home and devoured them all on
Sunday. The fight was the theme of discussion
everywhere, from the Baptist Mission in the
Five Points up to the portico Of Grace church.
The softer sex seemed as much interested in the
matter az the lords of creation. There must be
reason for all this. 1t is the hereditary feel
ing Of rivalry between John Bull and Brother
Jonathan sticking out in the old fashioned
way. Jonathan says to Bull, / can make
better clocks, build faster ships, con-
struct more effective telegrapbic apparatus, and
the country is interested, so far sit knows any
thing of the specialities mentioned. But when
Jonathan takes off his coat ties the stars and
stripes to stick, and says, come, old fellow, I
can thrash you, then everybody is interested.
Every little boy understands the drgunertum
ad hominem--the logical sequence which is pro-
PEELED in a straight line from the shoulder. So
everybody got desperately interested in the
Benicia Boy, and desperately Disguised with
the British swell mob who broke up the fight
to rave their money. As for the represents
tives of the British Lion, whe have been brag-
ging In characteristic manner about Heenan's
being whipped to dead certainty, they are
desperately ashamed of themselves. As for the
poor old Lion himself, we suggest thathe should
be permanently attached to the Tribune Office,
and fed upon vegetables for the remainder Of
his days II will not be safe for him to lay
down with lamb Of ordinary pluck now.

Is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes Initiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, Il
pervades the whole body, ind may burst out
in disease on any part of IL. No organ Is free
from its attacks. nor Is there one which IL may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is vanously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food impure mir, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, uad,
above all. by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin. it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation 4" indeed,
II seems to be the rod Of Him who says, 81
win visit the impurities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from shc
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, Is termed
tubercles; in the glands, sweilihgs; and ON
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor.
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, SO that scrofulous eonsttu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous Com
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
IN this scrofufous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, Kidneys brain.
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking m
fiction, and their health is undermined by il.
To cleanse il from the system we must rcnovste
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in
