Second Sight.

l.., The Democracy were much worried, two years since, for fear we should have a , drunken President. They could forgive 8 weakness of that description in Conserv- ative patriot like Johnson, but not in 8 "radical" After the overwhelming defeat of Seymour, the islander died, or lived on- ly in the very lowest class of Democratic journals. At last, however, the Bridge port Farmer has succeeded in getting what it seems to regard as satisfactory proof of the truth of the accusation. Its editorial on the subject is so rich that we republish it entire, taking the liberty of italicising, occasionally: through here yesterday on the 2:50 train for New York. While the train was at the depot, Prof. O. s. Fowler the renosoned physiognomist, physlolo- gist and phrenelogist, who was stopping at the At. and take his measure" He saw the President, closely scrutinized his face and bearing, and re- turned thoughtfuly to the hotel where he de- clared in the hearing of some six or eight per sons that he believed the President drank. His every appearance of it; I never saw that man be- fore. but believe he drinks" He then went on to point out the physiological and physiognomical soere iapressedsoih de language of tte scientist, and he serious, halEmelamcholy tone Sa sctict his opiai0ns aoere expressed.
 Could any thing be more sublime than @o the manner of the great scientists ,i. {" thoughtful" return to his hotel, and the "serious, half lf.melancholy tone" in which this disclosure was made to that impress sionable lot of Democratic listeners? And are the uses of "science" to stop here? Why not employ Fowler to take the place of judges, juries, witnesses, and other fal- lible means of getting at justice? Ima- zine the speed and certainty with which "science" would conduct such matters. A prisoner is brought before Fowler! An ex- animation of the head shows whether the accused is capable of the crime; look at the countenance tells at once whether he committed it. Murder would then become an unsafe amusement. The murderer could never get rid of the evidence of his crime, unless he cut off his own head! Y That great Scientist should begin work as a.great detective with the Presi- dent of the United States. is eminently proper; after he has convicted all the oth- CT great criminals, is he to stop there? There have been Democratic editors, resi- ding even in Bridgeport, who have been vehemently accused of the greatest crime known to the law. Why may not Fowler lay his hands on the guileless head, look into the innocent countenance, and re- move the suspicion of treason?
