Democratic UNITY.

We are gralited to state that the Democ-
aacy of the counties of Amador and Butte
have united. Let the Democracy in every
county of the State follow their noble exam
pie. Let us present to our opponents bold, ,
defiant, unbroken front. Let US adopt for
our motto, "Union, haruony, oonresson:-
Everything for the cause, nothing for men"
Let no man be deferred from Joining the
Democratic party from fear Of being called
secessonist or copperhead. Let us all re-
member that Seymour, of New York, Wall,
of New Jersey, Richardson, of Illinois, and
in fact the whole Democracy of the Allan
tic States have been so stigmatized by the
organs and speakers of the Abolition party.
The name did not lnjure them nor will it us.
1t is now considered mark of distinction,
and distinguishes the lovers of the Union of
our fathers, lovers of law and order from
the vile Abolition traitors who are seeking
to subvert the Government.
The Democratic party has mission to
perform. Its mission is to maintain the
Constitution and to restore the Union;" and
it can best perform it by united and har
monious action. Every patriotic citizen of
our beloved but distracted country should
unite with it for the accomplishment of its
high mission. We say nolhing, just now,
about the faith or principles of other parties.
1t is enough that our own may be contided
in and relied upon as altogether genuine,
and as being identified with constitutional
liberty and the best interests of the people
1t is enough that, for more than half a cen
tury, they have withstood and trumphed
over all the attacks OF their avowod enemies.
attacks conducted with consummate skill
by statesmen eminent for their learning and
experience and genius They are founded in
truth, and though at times unpopular,
must triumph in the end.
Nothing but evil can result from keeping
up two distinct Democratic organizations
in this State. The masses insist upon har-
mony and concert of action. In this peri. d
of national calamity and individual peril,
the one great question Of national salvation
should alone be considered; and whoever is
right on that, should be greeted and treated
as brother. In this patriotic spirit we can
conquer, and thus do something towards
rescuing our country from the impending
ruin and ourselves from the inevitable mis-
cry and disgrace which long continuance
of the present state of things must bring
upon us. Let the Democracy and all other
friends of the Constitution and the Union
ponder well this grave matter, and prepare
to meet the crisis like men and patriots

AN lNFALLBLE REMEDY FOR DYsENTERY
AND DIARRHGA.-Dr. Page, of Washington
communicates the following in the RepubH-
can of that city:
The following simple remedy, long known
in family practice, was recently tried in the
camp of the New York Twenty y-Second Regi
ment, where there were from eighty 20 a
hundred cases daily Of dysentery, and with
rapid cures in every case.
Recipe-In a teacup half full Of vnegsr,
dissolve as much salt as it will take up,
leaving a little excess of salt at the bottom
of the cup. Pour boiling water upon the
solution till the cup is two thirds or three
quarters full. A scum will rise to the sur
face which must be removed, and the solu-
lion allowed TO cool.

NUMBER 3S.
Against Coercion.

The 3lst day of May, 1881, was a memoi
rable one in the history of the formation of
the Constitution. Gen. Washington the
President of the Convention, was in the
chair. Seventy-four years ago this very
day, the question came up for discussion,
Shall State or States be coerced? In the
Madison Papers, vol. II, p. is the record:
The last clause of the Sixth Resolution.
authorizing an erertion of the force of the
whoie against delinquent State came next
into consideration.
MIR Madison observed, "that the more he
reflected on the use of force, the more he
doubted the practicablity, the Justice, and
efficacy of it when applied to people collect
lively, and individually. A Union of the
States, containing such an Ingredient seem
ed to provide for lis own destruction. The
use OF force against State would look more
Ike declaration of war than an in1iction
of punishment; and would probably be con
sidered by the party attacked as dissolution
OF all previous compacts by which it might
be bound. He hoped that such a system
might be framed as might render this re-
source unnecessary and moved that the
clause be postponed" This motion was
agreed on without dissenting voice.
The stand taken upon this question by the
Fathers of the Republic, on that memorable
day, was never changed 10y them, The sub
lect was incidentally brought in afterward.
but always with a fixed opinion on their part
that the exerlion of force to compel States
to obedience was unjust, unwise and imprac.
tcabe On the Sth of June Mr.. Madison
speaking of coercion, said WAS such a
remedy eliglbles Was it practicabe9 Would
the national resources, if exerel to the
utmost, enforce national decree against
Massachusetts,? 1t would not be possible
Any Government for the United States
formed on the supposed practcablity of
using force against the States, would
prove visionary and falaces."
On the 18th Of June, Alexander Uamih
ton of New York, said: "But how can force
be exerted in the States collectively? 1t is
impossible. 1t amounts to war between
parties. Foreign Powers also, will not be
lille spectators. They will interfere The
confusion will increase aud dissolution of
the Union will nsue."-New York News.

MRs BURDELL CLEARED PERHAPS. The
execution OF man named Lewis, last Frit
day, at Trenton, New jersey, for the murder
of Mr. James Rowland, a jeweler of that
city, was noted on Saturday The New York
Express, referring to the career of the cu-
prlt says: In a recent conversation with one
of his counsel, in the hearing of one of the
special deputy sheriffs at Trenton, Lewis adj
mitted that he knew more about the murder
of DIR. Burdel than he would divulce. In
his trunk was found handkerchief marked
"Charles }. Ketcham." 1t may be remem.
bered that shirt marked with the same
name was found in a bloody condition in
the attic closet of the house of BurdelI, the
day after the Bond street tragedy. Those
who know most about Lewis believes the
handkerchief to have come from the same
place, and to have belonged to the same
owner. The theory established on the trial
of Mrs Cunnignham that BurdelI was killed
by lett,handed person is also reconcilable
with the left handed habits of Lewis. He
was seen chopping wood at Milstone with
his left hand, and the evidence on the
Coroner's inquest on the body Of Mr.. Row.
land showed the blow to have been struck
by a lefthanded man, on the presumption
that it was dealt from behind, and Lewis
subsequently admitted that that he used the
club with his left hand. No doubt is enter
tained by those who have been in closest
communion with him since his Imprisonment
that he was the murderer of DR.. Burdel, as
well AS othars before and since.

John KembalI was performing one night
at some country theatre, in one of his favor
ite parts, and being interrupted from time to
time by the squaling Of a child in one of
the galleries, he became not a little angry at
the rival performance.
Walking with solemn step to the front of
the stage, and addressing the audience in
his most tragic tone, he said:
"Unless the play is stopped, the child can
not possibly 90 on"
The loud laugh which followed this ridc-
uous transpostion of his meaning, relaxed
even the nerves Of the immortal Hamlet,
and he was compelled to laugh with his
audience.

WHAT CAME OF CoTroN HANDKERCuIEF.
Within few weeks there died in one of
the towns of Briston county, man leayinc
property to the amount of 100000 who in
his youthful days was tie owner of a nine
penny cotton handkerchief which like many
an object of more importance, has its own
history. On one balmy day in August when
worteberrles were thick and MOSQUITOES
plenty, he, in company with other juveniles
made an excursion for the berries. Among
them was one rosy lass who was exceelncl
ly annoyed by the numerous bills presented
and whose white neck rebelled against their
acceptance; but nevertheless the aforesaid
cotton flag was offered and accepted as a
protection, worn home, and that night
thrown aside and forgotten. The girl grew
INTO womanhood, married, and was happy
IN her torgettulness of the cotton loan" or
its embrowncd and freckled owner. Not so
with him. As year succeeded year and his
"pl'e' Increased, that investment in cotton
troubled him, until not long since he made
certain resolution. The next day there
was heard at the lady IS residence the miser's
nervous knock, and without introduction or
palley he reminded her of the loan, which
forty years she had forgotten, and upon
careful calculation of the debt he made the
loan and interest amount to the exact sum
of elghty-seven cents! which he suggested
perhaps she would be willing to pay. In
reply he was told it would give her pleasure
to discharge her Indebtedness to him for
even so small sum, and that night an
addition of elghtyseven cents was made to
his "ple"-7aunton Gazette.
