SGokING AND DRINETNGi-People wht
hold the very foolish belief that smoking
leads directly to the worse habit O
drinking, will do we'll to ponder this ex
tract from a recent magazine article up
on stimulants and narcotics, written by
Dir. George NJ Beard:
''Indeed | can but feel that the intro
dIctlon of tobacco into our modern civ
llization has been really great blessing,
by checking the ravages ofintemperance,
and almost entirely preventing the ha-
6ltual use OF opium. The impression is
quite prevalent, and las never been dis
pnted, that smoking and chewing lead
to drinking. But all observation shows
that there is 10 necessary connection be-
tween these habits. There are many
who lead utterly sensual lives, and who
drink, smoke and chew to excess, lust as
they indulge inordinately all their pass
ions; but the majority of confirmed
smokers and chewers are very moderate
drinkirs, or are tcetotalers. The rule
works both ways, and absolute sots are
usually comparatively moderate in the
use of tobacco. 1t is said that smoking
causes thirst, and so invites to the bar
room but we all know that it is not
to quench thirst, but to stimulate, that
men go to the winc-cup."
CHlLDREN's ARMS AND LEos.-A dis
tinguished physician who died some
years since in Paris, declared, ~ believe
that during the last twenty years that l
have practiced my profession in this city,
10000 children have been carried to the
cemeteries, a sacrifice to the absurd Gus
tom of exposing their arms naked"
On this the Philadelphia Medical and
Surgical Reporter remarks: Put the
bulb ofa thermometer in baby's mouth
the mercury rises to ninety degrees,
Now carry the same to its little hand, if
the arm he bare and the evening cool,
the mercury will sink to fifty degrees.
Of course all the blood that flows
through these arms must fall from ten to
forty degrees below the temperature OF
the heart. Need | say that as these cur
rents of blood flow back into the chest,
the child's vitality must be more or less
compromised ? And need add that we
ought not to be surprised 1T lis frequent
recurring affections Of the tongue, throat
stomach | have seen more than one
child with habitual cough and hoarse-
ness, choaking with mucus, entirely and
permanently relieved by simple Keeping
the arms and hands warm. Every oh
serving and progressive physician has
daily opportunities Of witnessing the
same cure.

The triumph Of Democracy means

The triumph Of Democracy means
the triumph of despotism. The
world moves as one man. Climate,
language, nationality, geographical
difference, do not arrest the march of
events, or change the application OF
great truths. Liberty is the same
all over the world. Success here is
success everywhere. Failure in
America means that Hungary, and
Ireland, and Portland, must still re-
main in bondage. There is not leg
itimis or despot in the Old World
who does not pray for the election OF
Horatio Seymour To them it would
have the historical significance Of
Charles succeeding Cromwell, and
IBonaparte overthrowing the Repub
llic. 1t would mean the arrest O
lprogress, the destruction of Equs
Suffrage. remanding these States into
copdition of anarchy, Rebels as
| cending to power under the prOtec
tion of the American soldiers.

ern generals and public men who are
breaking now three years silence,
and are participating in that part of
self-government which consists in
moulding public opinion by free
speech.
The dirty dogs Of despotism be-
tray their instincts, for they would
deny to- the Southern leaders free
speech, unless they lift their voices
in praise to their Military Dictator.

TO seek by force to constrain all men

nature 10 prefer the desert and desc
lation which despotism makes and
calls peace, to a country where some
are left to folly that all may have
their freedom.
1t is false, but suppose it true, that
the Southern leaders are showing the
sold rebel spirit ?" What of it? Is
there any te-feathered miscreant
under Windust's table, whose teeth
are chattering with the fear of anoth-
er rebellion?
The dirty dogs of despotism would
like to jump at the throat of every
man North and South who has the
courage of his opinions and who hates
despotism and all its dirty dogs. But
the Southern men silenced, what
would the dirty dogs Of despotism

The dirty dogs of despotism pro-
pose the purchased patriotism of the
carpet bagger, and they sit with ears
erected to the accents of wisdom from
gibbering blacks.
In view Of the foregoing, what

tion before the people is--shall the

say that q great change is going OIL
In the public mind. The mass of tn,
Republican party are more thought
fui and tempered and just than they
were during the excitement which
attended the progress and close of the
civil war.
AS the eneegy of the Democratic
party springs from their devotion to
their cause and to their candidates,
may, with propriety, speak of the fact
that never, in the political history of
our country, has the action of any like
body been hailed with such universal
and real enthusiasm as that which
has been shown in relation to the po
sitiOn OF the National Democratic
Convention. With this the candi-
dates had nothing to do. Had any
others of those named been selected
this spirit would have been perhaps
more marked. The zeal and energy
OF the conservative masses spring
from desire TO make a change oil
policy, and from thought that thfn
this faith they are strengthened by
the cooperation OF the great body oi
those who served in the Union army,
and many during the war. Having
given nearly 10000 commissions to
the officers of that army, know their
views and wishes. They demand the
Union for which they fought. The
largest meeting of these gallant sol
diers ever assembled was held in
New York, and indorsed the action
of the National Convention in words
distinct with meaning. They called
on the Government to stop in Its
policy of hate, discord and disunion,
and, in terms of fervid eloquence, de-
manded restoration of the rights of
the American people.
When there is such accord between
those who proved themselves brave
and self-sacrificing in war, and those |
who are thoughtful and patriotic in
council, l cannot doubt we shall gain
a political triumph which will restore
our Union, bring back peace to our
land, and give us once more the
blessings of wise, economical and
honest government.
