"When Did Ever Desert a Principle?''

Mr.. Andrew johnson delivered rad.
icaI spcech of tn worst kind against
President Andrew Johnson in the

December. There can be no doubt
whatever that he then Thought that

that Mr.. Johnson, quite before the war,

United States had Il right to seize south

other Rebel states, ana hold them as

y NOTABLE 1LLUsTRATIoN.-T
Utica Herald cites strong illustration
OF the injustice Of the present basis OF
representation. South Carolina, in
1861, had forty-four thousand voters.
The three counties of Oneida, Madison,
and Oswego, n. Y, have fifty-two
thousand and ten. If the Constitution
stands as it is, South Carolina will have
five members Of Congress, and these
three counties, with SO many more vo-
tiers, will have but two. Are we quite
prepared to give vote in South Caro-
lima nearly three times the weight in
Central New York? The Constitutions

Hon RATE OF MORTALITY

Hon RATE or MORTALITY
AMONG LlQUoR SELLERS. - The
National Provident Institution, an
english life insurance company, has
discontinued issuing policies to pub.
Leans, owing TO the high rate OF
mortality among that class of citi.
zms. The statistics Of its own actu-
arr led to this action, which is still
turher justified by the annual repor,
OF he Manchester and Stafford Ii
cen3ed VictualIers Association. This
body numbers 1Sl members, and the
loss by death last year was 50, being
n dCath-rate Of about so in 1000,
whilt the death.rate for tho whole
population Of the country is is, and
for trades considered unhealthy, such
AS shsemakers, tqllors, &c, only IS
in i0jO These figures speak for
themselves, and show that the liquor
sraAic, like Saturn, swallows its own
children. This state of things has
been mticed before. The evidence
before parliamentary committee in
1853 brought out the great mortality
Of Liquor sellers, and upward of ten
years az, one of the Registrar Gen
erals annual reports contained sta
tistical 1ata showing that Mt every
dnccnnial period, reckoning from 25
years, tie mortality among drink
sellers was half as much again as the
average d all classes collectively of
