WRECKS OF HUMANITY. Why SHOULD
THEY SINK.-The excitement OF 1.-THE
chase" has always been supposed to have
hcalthful tendency but there is kind
of chase which breaks down the consti-
tuition, debilitates the frame, and shortenS
life. We mean the headlong, uninternit-
ting hunt after "thc almighty dollar"
which is the great business characteristic
Of the present day. 1t begets other evils
unnecessary to namc) which precipitate
the fate of thousands. There is, however,
a possibility Of recovery from the pros
tratiOn produced from these causes, long
after their victim has ceased to hope for
it. IL We are rightly informed, the most
astonishing cures of what is called general
weakness and debility, which have ever
been known in this country, have been
effected through the agency Of Doctor
IloLLowAY's inestimable remedies. Mere
skeletons of men, out of whom the very
principle of vitality seemed to have been
drained, have been restored to health and
vigOr by the operation of the Pills; and
Of tine Ointment, in cases of paralysis,
rheumatism. &C., We hear an equally IA.
vorable account. If men wiU break down
their energies by over exertion-if in
their anxiety TO "go ahead" they nitI
override the most precious of Gods bles,
sings, health-it is well they should
know how to repair the mischief, when
they come at last to realize the fact of
their premature decay. The wrecks Of
humanity, who without any particular
disease, appear to be sinking from mere
exhaustion, would find without doubt,
immediate relief from Doctor HoIloway's
remedies. -Phiia. Tribune.

. SENATORIAL ASPiRaNTS..-The election
is over and the Aboltionists have carried
the State by sweeping majority. Al
ready the diScordant elements that COM
pose the fusion faction are quarreiing
about the spoils. CONFESS, some say, de-
mands more than his share. The Repub-
icans have caught Tartar BY superior
management or shrewdneSs or intellect,
he got large majority Of his friends
nominated and elected to the Legislature.
Leading Republicans, ambitious to repre-
sent California in the United States Sen
ate, have just become convinced of this
fact, and they are uniting to defeat their
dangerous and able and cunning ally. For
this purpose they have started new can
didates, with the hope of stealing some of
the friends of CONFESS. Park, Phelps,
Stanford and Brown are powerless in the
hands of CONFESS. Knowing this, it is
whispered in political circles. they have
prevailed upon Gov. Nye and Starr King
to come out as compromise candidates.
1t is numerous" combination, but not
a formidable one. 1t won't do, gentle
men; CONFESS is /" too many" for you,
and he'll fax you all out. Separately or
together, it matters not to the indomita-
BILE John, he'll corral you. lie knows the
ropes, :" has been there. understands the
management of such delicate affairs, and
if he doesn't play you all out, you'll be in
big luck.

ANOTHER YEAR OF WAR-WHAT WILL
1T Cosr Pit is generally believed, If not
conceded by all parties, that the war
must continue one or more years longer.
This being admitted, the question of its
future cost may interest some readers
Many have been led to suppose that the
expense would be much less than last
year by reason Of the purchases Of arms,
munitions, ships, ETC., already made, and
not a few have ccnsured Congress for its
immense appropriations. But a Wash
ington correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun
offsets this with these considerations:
"The region of country which must be &C.
cupied BY Federal troops will be of immense
extent. We must have many armies Of occu-
patton, aud il appears to be conceded, that re-
bel territory now or hereafter occupied is not
I again tn be abandoned, as was the case in rela-
tinn to the Virginia valley. The Southern forts
and coasts are to be held and watched, and the
sick and disabled are 10 be taken care Of and
brought home, and their places filed by new
ievies. The pension list is also to be rapidly
filled and become highly chargeable. That the
Federal armies can be supplied from the cOun-
try they occupy is not at ull probable. Almost
everything they consume must be conveyed to
them from distant points"

A PArRIor.-George ". Julian has
been renominated by the Republicans Of
Indiana for Congress. At the late session
of Congress he declared that leases May
arise in which patriotism itself may de-
mand that We trample under our feet some
of the most vital principles Of the Consti.
tuition; and he added that "this has
been done already by the present Admin
istration." What contempt he must have

Of the Republican faction?

TRUE.--Ex.P President Fillmore recently
said that the " AbOlitioniSts in Congress
have undOne what the army has done. ="
1t is universally admitted that the late
Congress passed many impolitic acts,
which disheartened and disguised many
loyal Southern men and ADDED at least a
hundred thousand recruits to the rebel
army. A strong Union sentiment had
begun to prevail throughout the South,
which was checked and crushed by the
folly of Congress. This is well known,
and yet if Democrat comments upon
the ianaticism of Congress, he is accused,
by Abolition knaves, Of utteFing trea-
sonable sentiments against the Govern
ment," and they imperiousIy demand his
arrest and imprisonment

IT LOOKS so.-The Abolition appeal at
this time, says the Providence { r. H.
Post, an Incorporating war journal, for
the arming of the negro, has just this sig
nificance abroad. 1t is shameful con-.
feSsion that the twenty millions Of the
North cannot put down the rebellion Of a
majority of the eight millions Of the South.
After a sixteen months trial, the majority
party in the North give the contest up
unless they can introduce the slave popu.
lation into their side Of the fight. Is that
the opinion which the country desires
should so to EuropeS In all places where
negroes can be made useful, they have
been very properly used, and should SO
continue to be. Let US stop there. Let
us not admit that we arc unable to con-
tend with the rebels.

A PATRIoTIC Resolution. -The great
union meeting recently held in the city
Of New York cordially indorSed the motto
of the Democratic members Of Congress-
the Constitution as it is and the Union
as it was" II was one Of the largest
meetings ever assembled in the Empire
State. J"lin }. Crittenden and Chas "A
Wicklift, of Kentucky; Reverdy John
son, Of Maryland; Robert c. Winthrop,
of Massachusetts; Gov. Price, of New
Jersey; William Duer, Judge Parker,
Henry GrinHeii and other leading men Of
New York were present or sent letters Of
excuse, fully sympathizing with the objects
and sentiments Of the meeting. The res
olutions adopted are all sound and against
Abolitionisn, and prove conclusively that
the people are in earnest in their dctermi
nation to restore the Democratic party to
power. The following shows the spirit of
the whole:
HeSolcof, That the Union as 1t was, IS the
Union Of Washington and Of the Fathers, the
Union which has made Anne lea illustrious
! among nations, the Union which was the IL ost
bencfcent government known TO men. That
the Constitution 4s it is, is the hope Of the ma
ton, adhering3to and protected by which, we
shall be again free, happy and glorious de.
parting from and destroying which, we shall
/ be left with only the ruins Of great nation
around us, out Of which no man can prophecy
any New Union or construct any better CouSt-
tuition. That, believing in these principles,
and praying for the guidance and blessing of
! tod on our EFFORTS, we. the representatives of
various political parties. and Of ~ classes and
enjoyments and professions, do solemnly re-
Affirm our allegiance TO the Constitution as it
is, and pledge our lives, onr fortunes and our
hOnoIs, to the cause Of the Union rs il was"

The order to Gen. Wright is working finely.
LOYAL citizens are not more annoyed By curses
against Abe LincOIn.-Aeudda Journal.
Who is Abe Lincoln ? Is he the SER
want or master Of the people The very
men who are now denouncing others for
condemning the arbitrary and unconstitu-
tional acts Of Abe Lincoln, villainously
abused Gen. Jackson until the day of his
death. Their fathers Indignantly SANDER
ed the author Of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. But, then, Jefferson and jack
son were Democrats, tolerated the utmost
liberty of speech and were not afraid to
have their acts investigated and opposed.
They relied on the atriotism and intelli-
gence Of the people; their patriotism and
intelligence indicated their conduct and
silenced their shameless traducers. Lin
coin is evidently afraid to submit to q
similar test, and threatens with the Bas-
tile those who dare differ from his Admin.

WELL SAID.-The Cheshire n. H.
Republican, r, marking upon tho unceas-
ing abuse Of Generals Mcclellan and Hal
leck by portion OF the Republican press,
very truly says that lit certainly S60Ns
as though tue efforts e edits. ~ &
Tribune school to shake the confidence Of
the people in the integrity and ability Of
these officers, can have no other effect
than 30 keep nes I'os3 EDlisting, and thus
weaken the government and proportion
ally strengthen the rebellion. And when
we know that this is all done because GER
tain Generals are not up 10 the radical
mark on the negro question, it gives US
reason to believe that it is Abolition, and
not the Union, which acts as the main
spring Of their ar'lor in prosecuting the
war;" 1t strikes US that this is eminently
true. The Sacramento Union for some
time past has been sneering at Mcclellan,
and thus indirectly discouraging cnIisting.
General Wright had better keep an eye
on that eccentric institution.
