DEMOCRATIC PoLICY.-A quaint writer
saws: "When I was first called to the
Bar, l defended man for shooting ano-
ther on the Ohio river. Iproved, by con-
stitutionS, ordinances, and statutes, that
the Ohio river was not within the juriSdic-
ton of Ohio, and therefore, man could
not be convicted for crime committed
without the State. It was clear case:
What did the Court do: They decided
that I was very smart young man, and
no doubt highly gifted in Constitutional
laws; but that it was their business to
punish crime, and they would exercise
concurrent jurisdiction over the Ohio riv-
er. The man was convicted, and there
was an end of it. Now this illustrates the
difference between those who rely upon
the technicalities of the Constitution in
great trial for the life of the nation, and
those who rely upon its intent anu mean
ing, as an instrument made for the general
welfare. At the popular assizes-before
the grand jury of the nation-the people
will decide for the substance, not the
shadow; for their own interests, not the
dogmas of demagogues. They will sweep
the cobwebs of politicians away, and con-
sign the mere partisan leaders to deserved
oblivion. In times like these will men,re-
member that it was politicians who brought
this great wave of trouble over us, and
that the people know it, and will no longer
trust men who prefer their party to their
country. Such men will be put down and
never rise again. Notwithstanding this,
we have serious attempt to revive the
Democratic party; to revive it, not as
party filed with liberal ideas and with
heart beating for its country, which it
once was, but as party following the
Peace Federalists of the Hartford Con-
vention, and following them in hoisting
its lights and signals for the rebels! Not
only this, but trying by constitutional
technicaities and what is called soon
servatism,' to save slavery from its sure
and deserved death"

The BEAUTY OF A BLUsH.-Goethe was
in company with mother and daughter,
when the latter, being reproved for some
thing, blushed and burst into tears. He
said:
How beautiful your reproach has
made your daughter! That crimson hue
and those silvery tears become her much
better than any ornament of gold or pearls;
these may be hung ON the neck of any
woman, but those are never seen discon-
nected with moral purity. A full-blown
rose, besprinkled with purest dew, is not
so beautiful as this child blushing beneath
her parents displeasure, and shedding
tears of sorrow for her fault. A blush is
the sign which nature hangs out to show
where chastity and honor dwell"

DIR. RoBAcK's STOMACH B1rTERs.-We

knowledge of the healing art, and while we
are fully prepared to admit that humbug is

foret do not allow any advertisement or

least tendency to corrupt the human mind,
we are always glad to recommend what we
believe to be real boon to society, and
having made an experimental use Of DR.. Ro-
backs Stomach Bitters, we bear our testi-
mony to their real, genuine and very benef-
cial use. DR.. RS bitters far surpass any
preparation of the kind we have ever used;
and we urge all who need mild, safe, and
most agreeable tonic, to try this medicine at
once. If you try it once, you will be sure to
try it again. It is just the thing for the

A Drunken Senator.

Several prominent merchants and pub
lie men rendered serenade to Admiral
Farragut. The old hero was stopping
with his wife at the Astor House. Com
mander Meade brought over the magnl-
fcent brass band Of the receiving ship
North Carolina and the Dnderburg
Glee Club" composed of sailors on the
same ship. The music of the Glee Club
and the band was beautiful, and every
thing connected with the serenade was in
admirable taste and good order, with one
exception.
When the Admirars party entered the
large dining-room where the band had
been stationed, there was little gray
haired man with them who acted as
though he considered the cheers Of wei
come intended for himself. He seated
himself next to Mrs. Farragut, and afford
ed intense amusement to many byshls
groteSque motions. 1t was evident, how
ever, that his conduct was highly often
sive to Mrs. Farragut and very naturally,
too, for in using his arms to beat time for
the musicians, he several times struck
Mrs. Farragut in the face. He got up
and staggered across the room, when
gentleman took his seat next to Mrs.
Farragut, evidently to relieve her OF the
ANNOYANCE. But the little gray-halred
man reeled right back to i place, and
in loud words insisted on his right to the
seat. After furnishing amusement to the
spectators for some time, he was escorted
out of the room by Mr.. Stetson and
Admiral Farragut, who then returned to
enjoy the music. And now, reader, who
do you suppose this little gray-haired
man was The Hon. (D James Nc
Dougall ! 1t might afford some people
little merriment to see drunken man
make fool of himself in public, but the
feeling was far different with me. could
not help feeling indignant that a man
chosen to represent such noble State as
California in the highest branch OF the
National Congress, should play the part
of circus clown to serenading party
in the chief commercial city of the cOun-
try. Some of the European monarchS
used to have such an appendage as
"court fool" to afford amusement to
their friends; but never before heard of
a high government dignitary playing the
part.
1t is not only at serenades that Senator
McDougan makes such an exhibition of
himself. l am credibly informed that
his conduct is the same, whether he be
in a diSreputable house on Green street,
(this city, or in the Senate Chamber: Be-
fore left California heard the opinion
expressed that Mr.. McDougalrs style of
living would soon be the cause of his
dying. 1 regret to inform the people of
California that to all appearances, Senator
McDougalrs health is as good as when
he stood in the Legislative Hall of Cali
fornia pledged himself to support of the
Adminstrs ton in the prosecution of the
war, which he never has rendered.-Cor.

lead thee to pronounce him happy. For
if happiness depend on things within thy

Three years ago 1t was absolutely IN unknown

to ,i0O. 600 gallons, mud the imports for 1868
viii foot up fully 5000, 600 gallons. Already
have been started in different parts Of Belgi~
um, and various circumstances uncluding the
high import duties into France and the very
low duties between that country and Belgium)
combine to make Antwerp the great distribu-
ting petroleum port for the continent. Nor
is The excitement tn the article confined to
Antwerp. for In Paris and other cities it has
become the object Of speculative gambling
and contracts on thirty and sixty days, and
even six months time, are entered into With
all the rim Of stock gamblers. Even Russia
has become 1nnoculated with the mania, and

To m American It eeems very familiar to see

Pittsburg district, and its eudangering the
foreign supply Of petroleum. The Antwerp
dealers, In their anxiety to get the latest Amer

dispatches fzomi the steamers on their arrival
at Queenstown, and as much as one hundred
