can people will submit to any such imposition as
that We want the Union restored, and think
IL the soldiers had been suffered to make peace,
too, as they had not made war, that following the
action of Sherman there would have been peace
indeed between the sections of the country by
this hour. I propose to invite my follow-towns-
man, who is the republican nominee, to come be-
fore you and all the rest Of the good people of
this state, In order that he and may talk to you
in regard to the negro suffrage and other ques-
tons. Laughter, "Good"l 1 hope he will ac-
cept the invitation, and then you will hear from
both and judge between us. will only say that
accept the nomination you have given me, and
pledge that no proper effort on my part will be
wanting in order to secure the success of your
ticket The enthusiasm and harmony of this
convention is an augury of success, and when the
democracy is united in New jersey, then success
is certain. know that the men of New jersey
will stand by the man that they designate as their
representative this day. Let US stand together
and promise you that when the sun goes down
on the day of election, it will go down upon q
routed and discounted host of foes. Cheers.
The convention then closed amid hearty and
repeated rounds of cheers.

NEVER SATISFIED.

There is d small ous NOISY class ot poiitlci-
ans, who are faithfully represented by pa
pers that seem to think democrats and con-
servatives have no right to sustain the preSi'
dent, whether IN his RECONSTRUCTION poiicy or
anything else They want him all to them
selves; not that they may support so much
as critlciss and bully him. They forget,
saws the Boston Post, that the president Is
the chief magistrate of the whole country
whom men of ali parties are bound TO rally
around in his constitutional measures for ex-
Treating the nation from its extreme peril
The narrowness AMI extreme bigotry OF the
doctrines they put forth by implication is
lamentable evidence that ali the sacrifices
and sufferings of the late have had no
effect in enlarging their views or extending
their charity they are the same case-hard
ened party drill-sergeants they were before.
A little time ago. they were bawling dis
loyalty" at the top of their voices if any one
bat themselves presumed TO utter q criticism
on the president for his management of the
war and the matters appertaining to it; now
they are positively mad whenever they hear
democrat or a conservative declare his APP
prevail of measure which the president may
inaugurate. They cannot be suited, which,
ever one takes them 1t is we'll they do not
form the standard of loyalty for the people of
the country it would be puzzle to know,
from day to day, which was the right side of
the line. If the president deserves TO be
criticised for his policy, they want the privi-
lege of doing it all by themselves and even
if his policy is worthy to command general
support, they will still have it that none but
themselves are worthy to be its supporters.
We really do not see what is to be done for
these sore heads, except to let them have
their grumble out, and help themselves
we'll they can. They have the conceit to
think that they comprise all the positive pa
triotism of the country.

How to Breathe.

1t would seem that m an has been long enough
on earth TO learn the proper use OF every part of
his body. But new discoveries are constantly
made and it is now claimed that one chief cause
of pulmonary disease is from wrong habits of
breathing The following paragraph is note
worthy:
There is one rule to DE observed in taking ex-
ercise by walking-the very best form in which
it can be taken by the young and able-bodied of
all ages and that is, never to allow the action of
respiration to be carried on through the mouth.
The nasal passages clearly the medium
through which respiration was, by our Creator,
designed to be carried on. "God breathed into
mans nOstrils the breath of life" previous to his
becoming living creature. The difference in
the exhaustion OF strength by long walk with
the mouth firmly closed, and respiration carried
on through the nostrils instead of through the
mouth, is inconceivable to those who have never
tried the experiment Indeed, this mischieyous
and really unnatural habit of carrying on the
work Of inspiration aud expiration through the
mouth, instead OF through the nasal passages,
is the origin of almost all the diseases of the
throat and lungs, bronchitis, congestion
asthma and even consumption itself That ex-
cessiye perspiration to which some individuals
so liable in their sleep, which is weakening
TO the body, is solely the effect of such persons
sleeping with their mouths unclOsed. And the
same unpleasant and exhaustive results arise to
the animal system from walking with the mouth
open, instead of, when not engaged in conversr-
ton, preserving the lips in state of firm but
| quiet compression. As the heat and velocity OF
the blood through the lungs depends almost en-
| tirely upon the quantity of atmospheric air in
| hailed WIh each inspiration, ana it Is unavods-
bic that il should be taken in, in volumn, by the
mouth, whilst il can only be supplied in moder-
ate quantities. and just ia sufficient proportion to
| serve the purpose of healthy respiratory action,
| whilst supplied through the nostils, it is clear
| that the body must be much lighter aud cooler,
and the breathing much freer aud easier, when
/ the latter course rather than the former is tue
/ one adopted Children oughvnever to be allow
ed TO stand walk with their mouths open for,
besides the vacant appearance il gives to the
countenance, il is the certain precursor OF
! coughs colds and sore throsts.

between Havana and Savannah were being estab-

As Authorized the commercial prosperity was
not 80 great.
The place was losing its Importance as depot,

verted elsewhere Efforts were being made TO
organ re company to build a railroad from Hill
