| GES GRANT's HABrs.-Mr. Charles
A. Dana, who is we'll acquainted with
Gen. Grant and was long time with
him in the Southwest during the war,
says Of his personal habits
Gen. Grant has been accused of in
temperance. The copperheads fight
him with talk about this alleged bad
habit, just as the rebels fought him with
powder and ball in the war but the
case is set right in little speech which
the Hon. w h. Dodge made on L hurs-
day evening Dir. Dodge said that he
had just been in Washington, and had
had long interview with Gen. Grant,
and, continued hc, Il 10 him with the
conviction that neither We nor the
friends Of temperance have any cause
for anxiety in this respect. Mr.. Dodge
is President Of the National Temper
ance Society, and no one can be more
hostile to everything approaching in
temperate habits in a public man.
The truth Is that the practice Of Gen.
Grant is total abstinance In camp he
almost alone, among all the prorn-
inent officers Of tho army -neyer tole-
rated liquor or wine either at his table
or about his tent Fatiguing marches
and the excitement and exhaustion Of
battles did not make him break over
bis rule, not 70 taste or touch anything
alcoholic. Again and again We have
seen vine offered him at public and
private dinners, only TO be steadily re-
fused We are assured that now, in
time Of peace, aud IN the society Of
Washington, be still maintains the same
custom. His enemies must invent
some other story The people will
never believe that Gen. Grant i
drunkard and il from not personally
knowing Grant, they are not sure ofthe
fact, they viii answer as President Lin
coin did, Let me know what kind Of
whisky Grant drinks and will send

Guam AGAISsF YuLGAR LANGUAGE.
There is as much connection between
the words and the thoughts as
there is between the thoughts and the
actions The latter are not only the
expression of the former, but they have
a power to react upon the soul, and
leave the stain Of corruption there. A
young man who allows himself TO use
one vulgar or profane word, has not
only shown that there is foul spot
upon his mind, but by the utterance of
that word he extends the spot and in
flames it, till, by indulgence, it will
pollute and ruin the whole soul Be
careful of your words as well as your
thoughts. Ii you can so control the
tongue that no improper words are pro-
nonnced by it, you will soon be able,
also, to control the mind and save that
from corruption. You extinguish the
fire by smothering it, or by preventing
bad thaughts bursting out into Ian
guage. Never utter word anywhere
which you would be ashamed sto speak
IN the presence of the most refined
female, or the most religious man.
Try this practice little while, and you
will soon have command of yourself.

OLONIZATION

We have this day Published a letter in
our columns to which we invite the par
tlcnIar attention Of our readers, as the
information is perfectly reliable. 1t an
pears that about three hundred persons
have Imnigrated to British Honduras
from the Southern States, in three YES
sells, during about q month; and we have
yet to learn that their prospects Of sue
cess are better there than in jamaica.
We believe that the privationS, to which
the correspondent aIIudrS, would be
avoided here under arrangements which
could be made; and certainly the climate
Of Jamalca is far preferable. Such intel
IIgence as the correspondent gives us
IS an additional reason for immediate
and energetic action in jamaica. We
are not disposed to be Jealous of our
friends in British Honduras; we wish
them success in all they undertake, vet
every immigrant they obtain, and every
month they are in advance of us in this
movement, is adverse to our interests.
1t is quite evident, from this letter, that
our Government has been misinformed
by their correspondents at New Orleans,
and that the Press in that country are
Disgusting the facts IN regard to Emigra-
ton. COIOnlStS can be obtained from the
Southern States but they require to be
encouraged. Some vague and erroneous
notion is entertained, that the mass of the
people in Jamaica are unsettled or dissat-
ISlied but those who make such reports,
and lead to such impressions, are unjust
to the Island. Despite Of the disturban-
ces which took place nearly three years
since, we Go not believe there is any
country where life and property are more
secure there is no place in the world
where you may travel unarmed with
greater safety, than in jamaica ); and we
feel perfectly certain that the life of a
c%OIoniSt here will be attended with adj
vantages which cannot be surpassed by
any colony in the world.

THE ACTUAL DEBT AND THE IMPENDING

While the radicals are busy in disputes as
to whether the public debt rises above or
falls below twenty-five hundred millions

man of the committee ON claims in the thir-
ty-niuth congress, said;
"Mr. Speaker, know very well that there
are reasons why those considerations should
not be expressed. Ournation now groans with
the weight of public debt aud necessary
taxation, and our credit must be maintain.
ed. know that there ore now floating
claims against this nation, and less in
amount than $4,000, 100000, according to
my estimate; and these claims, if admitted
at all, will never be settled with less than
$4,000, 100000. do not believe they will
be settled for that
Mr.. Bou,wel-"Will the gentleman let
me ask him q question:"
Mr.. Delano--"Certainly, sir"
Mr.. Boutwell-"I would ask the gentle.

debt, which cannot be liquidated without an

From this discussion among radicals, it
seems that the unaseertained debt is be.
lieyea to be about as large as the ascertain.
cd debit so that instead of owing $780,.
100000, the people owe twice that amount,
or over five billions. How do they ever ex.

Gus taxation under the radical policy? 1t
will never be done, unless there is change
Of partiesI but this country will be a worse
tax.ridden country than any on earth, while
the industrial classes will become the slaves

POINTS OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RADI.
GALS AND DEMOCRATS.
Facts for the Poor Man to Cogitatato Upon

The democratic party propose to let the
people govern themselves. The radicals un.
dertake to govern them by martial law.
The democracy are in favor Of letting the
majority govern The radicals, on the con.
trary are in favor of the greatest good for the
smallest number.
The democrats believe in economy and
cheap government. The radicals act on the
principle that national debt is national
blessing.
The democratic party is the party OF the
constitution. Radical leaders have pro-
nounced that constitution Gan strocious
bargain ..s b..
The democratic party aims TO encourage
American industry. The radical policy Is to
crush out American industry, and to build
up that of foreign nations.
The democracy believe in the sovereignty
ofthe bslot-box. Bullets, not ballots,ar the
mainstay of the radicals.
Under the democratic administration the
country always had peace. Under radical
administration it has run in debt thousands
of millions.
The democracy always gave us gold and
silver currency. The radicals have given US
i
| nothing but rags.
An American dollar, under democratic
management, was good for dollar all the
world over. Under radi al inanciering it
is rood for dollar nowhere-not even at
home.
When the democratic party ruled the
country the laws were equal and exact. The
radicals, on the contrary, have one set o.
laws for the rich and another for the poor
with high tariffs and big bounties for the Pu
ritan oligarchy of New England, and nothing
but taxes for the mechanic, farmer, the saIa
ried clerk, etc.
Radical legislation requires the consumer:
to paw all the taxes. The rich man does not
pay one cent that he does not afterwards gel
from the poor,
