lected that, shortly after the close of the

and with this view the citizens generally
should contribute literally.

The Resolutions OF I79s.

The world moves-daily! The New
York Post eulogizes the democratic doc
trine Of State rights and approves the
resolutions of '98. That paper of Friday
last referring to the doctrine of these reso-
lutions, says:
As it has been held by the democratic party
generally, it is not only an unobjectionable
doctrine, but in our view essential to the har-
mOnious cooperation of the State and Federal
authorities, avoiding on one side, swollen
and dangerous centralism, and on the other an
incoherent and anarchial localism. 1t pre-
serves the permanence and integrity of our
peculiar national system by maintaining just
equilibrium between the antagonistic forces by
which, like the solar system it resembles, it is
animated and kept in order.
jefferson, Madison, jackson, Macon, Benton,
Van Buren,, Wright; in short, the great body
of the popular party, both rank and file, had
been contented with this beautiful and consist
ent scheme. They had found it sufficient to
ensure the strength and unity of the national
power, to protect the rights OF the local pow
ers, and to give free scope to the most uniimit.
ed expansion of individual energies. They
saw the whole country, under its benign ope-
rations, enjoying the profoundest order and
peace, and shooting forward with unexampled
swiftness in the race of prosperity.
The return OF the people to the safe and
equitable principles of democracy is but Q
question Of time.

An English Cure for Drunksnness.

There is famous prescription in use in
England for the cure of. drunkenness, by.
which thousands are said to have been as
sisted in recovering themselves. The re-
ceipt came into notoriety through the
efforts of John Vine Hall, commander of
the Great Eastern Steam Ship. He had
fallen into such habitual drunkenness, that
bis NEST earnest efforts to reclaim himself
proved unavailing. $3.50 ''7l
at length he sought the advice of an
eminent physician, who gave him a pre-
scription which he followed faithfully for
seven months, and at the end of that time,
had lost all desire for liquor, although he
had been for many years led captive by
a most debasing appetite. The receipt
which be afterwards published, and by
which so many other drunkards have been
assisted to reform is as follows; Sulphate
Of iron five grains, magnesia ten grains,
peppermint water eleven drachms, spirits
of nutmeg one drachm, twice day. This
preparation acts as tonic. and stimulant.
and so partially supplies the place of the
accustomed liquor and prevents that abso-
lutte physical and moral prostration that
follows q sudden breaking off from the
use of stimulating drinks.
