THuRLow WEED has spent the last year
studying the democrats and their party with a
view to their adaptation to patriotic uses I'M
der conservative" banner. He began the
study with hope, but he finally turns away
greatly discouraged Here is an extaact from
an article which lie publishes in the Albany
Journal =
81 remember federalism in its palmy condi-
ton, redolent of material and intellectual ac-
quisitons-itS statesmen, jurists, aud lawyers,
towering up head and shoulders above their
fellows. And | remember this party when its
! leaders, III sympathy with the enemies of their
country, began to drag it under, when in con-
greSs, IN the legislature, in its journals, and
finally in the Hartford convention, language
identical with the utterances of disloyal demo-
Gratis now turned the people against them
Here, in the letter of Mr.. Bradbury, accept
ing the democratic nomination for governor Of
Maine, is an illustration =
care the people of Maine ready to concede
the claim set up by the national administra-
ton to that despotic power which could de-
prive them Of their dearest rights and most
sacred privileges-of all those noble guaran-
ties affecting life, liberty, and property which
are secured to them by the grand old consti-
tuition established by their fathers?"
''This is New England federalism, rank and
raw. This precise language is stereotyped in
the archives of federalism. They preached
it until tl,o patriotic masses lnathed federal
ism and spewed it out There is reason to
fear that modern democracy will share the
fate of ancient federalism. The proclivity of
its leaders is in that direction. The sympa-
thy expressed for Vallandigham, of whose dis
loyalty no man entertains a doubt, is besot-
ted. The arrest of Vallandigham was a blum
der, but that is forgotten in the stupid effort
of the democracy to make martyr of him.
Here is another demonstration Of sympathy
for rebelon-nay, worse, for robbers and
horse thieves =
''GEN. BURNSIDE SIGNALIzED ONCE MORE.
The western journals are dwelling upon the
honors Gen. Burnside re-wins in his depart
ment, by having Gen. Morgan and his raid
party shaved and imprisoned in the peniten-
tiary The pretence, the public will renlem-
Der, is retaliation for Col. Streight, who is in
the Libby prison."
''This is from the New York Express, one
of whose editors is a democratic member Of
congress. And this is the spirit which rules
that journal, These things, say, will run
the democratic party under for no party, be
its antecedents what they may, can be untaith-
full to the country DURING WAR. The peo-
pie unvaryingly and unerringly find out and
take the patriotic side. No matter if the ad-
ministration errs, falls short OF its duty, or
even exceeds its authority, the people will
stand by their government"

used to in the old sparkin' days, and wetalked

thought, hoping all the time he would speak
out and give us his opinion. But that ''brown

When my chores were all done and l came

tall tombstones that had been gathering there
almost ever since the Pilgrims came over.
Hubby hadn't lighted the lamp, and as |

DIPrHEKIA.-The Paris doctors are treat
ing diptheria and similar throat diseases, with
ice, and with great success. The following
cases are reported in ''Galignani"-
In March and April, 1861, the disease in
question broke out under an epidemic form,
and chiefly attacked adults, with such vru-
lence that in one week three young women
died in one house. One of DIR. De Grands
patients, afflicted with blephacite, was seized
with it, and as he could not Immediately at
tend owing to the severity of the case, an
other physician was called in, who ordered
emetics and aluminOus gargles, which pro-
duced no effect. At length Dr. De Gand
came, and found the tonsils greatly swollen,
and false membrane covering them. lie
Immediately administered small pieces of ice,
and by the following morning the tumefaction
of the tonsils had diminished by half and the
false membrane had nearly disappeared.
That very evening she was enabled to take
food PrOhting by this example, a few days
after her brother was seized with sore
throat, presenting the same preliminary
symptoms as those of his sister; but he,
without waiting for the doctor, took some ice,
and was rid Of his sore throat in Il few
hours. Some days later. DIR. DE Grand was
summoned to a young lady who had been la
boring under the disease for some forty eight
hours; all remedies had failed, and the pa
rents, relations, and friends of the family
were plunged i'll the deepest sorrow. When
Dr. De Grand ordered ice, general cry of
astonishment was uttered by all present. Ice
for a sore throat! Impossible! 1t was sheer
murder DIR. De Grand maintained his
ground, and after much expostulation, during
which much time was lost, he obtained his
end. Before twenty-four hours were over the
patient was in full convalescence. Being at
Vera Cruz on mission, he was requested to
see young man who was attacked with ma
lignant sore throat, and had been treated
without effect by authorizations with hydro
chloric acid and astringent gargles. Here
again he had to battle with the prejudices of
the family, but was at length allowed to adj
minister ice. The young man recovered in
the course of the following day. DIR. De
Grand has now been using this remedy for the
last twelve years, without having met with
single failure.
