NO DRUNKARDs IN SPAIN.

Jas. o. Putnam, Of Buffalo, N. Y, writes from
Spain to one Of the Buffalo papers an interesting
letter In regard to the drinking habits Of the peO-
pie. His observations 60 to confirm the state
ments Ditch made that the people Of wine grow.
ing countries, who use wine Us an ordinary drink
at their tables, seldom fall into the habits Of in.
temperance. There is q matter Of serious
thought in such facts.
A few cents everywhere buy bottle Of wine
its use Is universal-there Is never meal
without it. What is the effect Of this abundance
and this universal use upon the habits Of the
peopleI ! can only answer that have sought
the most intelligent sources Of information, and
have had but one reply, and that has been con!
hrmed by my own observations, which has not
been uninquisitiVe, that drunkenness Is not Q vice
Of the country, that excessive drinking Of intox-
icating liquors Is not its habits that while there
are exceptional cases as nation il Is one Of So
briefly. Il Is not true that there is no drunken
ness; hut II is rare, not habtual, even in ndVdu'
ais and it Is not felt as public evil Nor is It true
that the wines drank to great excess will not in
toxicate. You will think my curiosity little
mpertinent-but have visited hospitals both
in Portugal and Spain, and inquired Of their
physicians if they ever had case Of delirium
tremens that scourge, which in our country opens
the gateway Of death to so many gifted and noble
natures, and their universal reply has been, that
i was disease unknown to the country. Pri-
vate practitioners have told me the same thing.
During the three months that have spent in
Spain, have sren buta single instance Of intox-
icatiOn; and this was on bul.aght day at Gr,-
NADIA, Another thing have observed; there Is in
Spain no constant dram drinking. The hotels in
this country have no bars or saloons The loun-
gers-and the country swarms with them-visit
the cafes and club-hOuses. The hotels are aS
quiet as 4 private dwelling. But il you are to
visit those evening resorts Of the people to see
their life, you might find them all driL king, but
most Of them would be drinking nothing stronger
than coffee or lemonade, without spirits Of any
sort

On Saturday and yesterday the convicts in

Company at tIrenty.jfre cents per day, to unload
a collier at the wharf The Police Commissioner
certainly deserves some credit for finding EN-
piOyment for the incorrigibles. But placing con-
yict labor in competition with free labor is not
the true way to foster the bone and sinew" Of
the country. The laboring man we want to see
respected and well paid. Twenty-Five cents
day to Company that can well afford to pay
current wages is not the way to do it. when labor

some other less Objectionable mode Of employ

future.

ST. VALENTINES DAr,--Mission, traveller in
the carly part Of the last century, ascribes the
present observance Of this day to the following
games, still practised in his time :--"On the eve
Of St. Valentines, the yOu1g folks in England
and Scotland by very ancient custom celebrate
a little festival An equal number Of mails and
bachelors get together; each writes his or her
true or feigned name upon sepCrate billets, which
they roll up, and draw by way Of lots, the maids
taking the mems bllets and the men the maids /;
so that each Of the young men lights upon girl
hat he calls his raleHtiae and each Of the girl $
upon voting man whom she calls herI BY
this means each has tSo valentines; but the
man sticks faster T. the valentine that has fal'en
to him than the valentine to whom he Is fallen.
Fortune having thus divided the company into
20 many couples. the valentines give balls and
treats 10 their miStressos wear their billets sew.

compromise and the fugitive slave law,
as violations of the law Of God and of
the Constitution. A meeting of twenty
live hundred resolved to defy "death, tho
dungeon, and the grave" in resistance to
tho law. Mr.. Douglas announced from
the stand that he would defend the meas
ures the next day; and the next evening
before an audience Of four thousand, com
posed largely Of Abolitionists, with the
city council in front of the stand, and
armed negroes behind it, he delivered that
whitening rebuke to the sophistry about
"trial by jury" "habeas corpus" " high
er law, etc" the effect of which was a
unanimous resolution of the vast crowd
10 sustain the compromise; and the re-
peal Of their own resolution, by the unan-
imous voice of the city council. Such a
triumph of eloquenco was never known
before.
Ii will take us months to show the
high claims of Mr.. Douglas upon the
American people, and especially those of
the South; and we could now fill page
with interesting facts, but the extreme
heat of the weather warns us not TO ex-
haust the patience of our readers.
Mr.. Douglas record upon the Kansas
bill is well known, and it is also known
that he received in Georgia, such an en-
dorsement as has never before or since
been given a politician, for both parties,
and the legislature declared it kind of
treason not TO accept the principles of this
famed bill.
We are proud 10 present rs the Ma
tional Democratic candidate for President,
the man who has fought hundred sue
cessful battles for the South, and not one
against her; accredited to us by the Sage
of the Hermitage-thc real author of the
compromise of 1850, and the first man
in the north who cared raise his voice for
the fugitive slave law. The man who
beat Lincoln in Illinois by the popular
vote, in spite of abolition guile. The
man whose every vote and position we
are prepared and able 10 successfully de-
fend-the orator who is, the. equal of
Webster or Clay; the statesman, who has
no superior, no equal, in all this broad
land. The man with whom Georgia's
tried, proven and noble statesman, Her
schel V. Johnson, has consented TO risk
his political fortunes.

A SABBATH School INcIDENT.-At q
meeting in London, where there was a
vast number of Sabbath school children
assembled, clergyman arose on plat
form, and told them of two bad little boys
whom he had once known, and oe good
little girl whom he had afterwards learn
ed to know. This little girl had been to
sabbath School, where she had learned
to do some good every day. Seeing two
little boys quarreling, she went up to
them, and told them how wicked they
were acting, made them desist from quar-
cling, and in the end induced them TO al
tend Sunday School. These boys were
jim and Tom. Now, children, said the
gentleman, would you like 10 see Jim3
All shouted with one voice, Yes
yesw
"Jim, get upw said the gentleman,
looking TO another part of the stage. A
reverend looking missionary rose and
looked smilingly upon the children.
Now, would you like to see Tomg"
Yes, yes" responded through all the
house.
"Well, look at mc-I am Tom, and |
too have been missionary for many
years. Now would you Ike to sec little
Mary Wood"
Tho response was even more loud and
earnest than before. Yes.
We'll, do you see that lady over there
in the blue silk bonnet? That his little
Mary Wood, and she is my wife"
THE THREE PLATFoRMs.-The three
platforms, on the subject of slavery in the
Territories, may be thus concisely and yet
truly stated:
REPUBLICAN.
Intervention by Congress against slave
ry in the Territories. In other words, in
tervention by Congress TO prevent the
people having slavery if they want it.
DIsUNIoN.
Intervention 10y Congress for slavery
in the Territories. In other words, inter
vention by Congress to make the people
have slavery when they don't want it.
DEMOCRATIC.
Non-interferencc by Congress with
slavery in the Territories, either to ostab.
lish, prohibit or protect. In other words
TO leave TO the people of the Territories,
when organized communities, to have
slavery or not, rs they think best, to be
controlled in the matter by no outside in
reference. sa ~
Which will sensible and patriotic peo
pie choose TO rally ON! There is but one
for such persons, and that is the Demo
cratic.
