The CreYasse of New Orleans.

The good people of the Crescent City
have another dread sensation over the
partial submersion of their city by an
other break in the levees. This time,
however, it is q canal lcvce on the north
of the city, the usually sluggish waters
Of the canal having been increased to
an alarming volume by back water from
Lake PoncharIran and the late crevasse
at Bonnet Care. The lcvees had been
greatly weakened by the incxcusable re-
moyal of part Of the earth composing
them in order to fill up vacant marsh
lots in the city. The fruit of this UNI
paralclcd thoughtlessness is visible now
in the partial submcrson of the city,
an area Of over six miles being covered
by wafer SIX or seven feet deep, and
twenty-five hundred houses, that have
hitherto rested on the comparatively Sc
cure basis of the New Orleans tounda.

of lake. The great crevassc at Bon.
net Care ought to have been warning
enough, it would seem, to secure al
early repairing of all the levees, instead
Of partial demolition Of any of them
But the fact is otherwise, and the result
is an immense lot of property and al
Unreasonable amount Of desolatiou and
Inconvenience.
The lesson, however, is the same
Strong lecves are essential to the safety
Of one of the richest and most bcauti
full cities of the Uuion-indeed one Of
the greatest shipping ports and COM
mercial marts in the United States
and as the people are unable, mainly
through au unsettled city government
to build them, the general government
should give thcm~d. A few millions
would probably patch these leyees where
they are insecure at present, and, a;
time progresses, New Orleans and the
Mississippi valley, with their wonderful
recuperative powers and the continu'
ancc of peace and prosperity, will be
fully able to keep them in repair here

The people's Candidates.

The N. Y. Sun, a most excellent and
reliable newspaper, but POLITICAL sort
of neutral or mongrel concern, raises
under the above heading the following
national ticket for the election in 1872 ::
For President, William S. Groeobeck OF
Ohio for Vice President, John Quincy
Adams, of Mass
With those candidates we have no
particular fault to find. We do not
like these neutral or union movements.
They are generally bred in some kind
of disappointment and most always end
in a "row," and to the deep dissatisfac-
ton Of those that are engaged in them.
Two standing political parties are need
ed in a country Ike ours yea, they are
absolutely necessary. They are safe
guards-one keeps the other somewhere
near the right track.
The democratic party is the one of the
two that exist in this country that suits
us. We believe that when its principles
are fairly and honestly carried out in
our national government, as well as oul
oo,-oro1 rocnooIivo ototo ,rovnrnDronte
we shall have an administration that
will give all just and equal rights, and
be for the benefit Of the whole country
and all Of its people, business, etc. We
advise all democrats to keep out Of
these so called union or neutral move
ments, for under them dangerous Gle
ment is concealed. The only safe way
is to steer entirely clear OF them,

The Future of the Democracy

The Hon. Algernon S. Sullivan de.
liyered the following speech at a late
meeting Of the VIM. NJ. Tweed Club,
First Ward, New York City
Gle claimed that the Democratic
party was not dead, not dying, not like.
ly to commit suicide. 1t intended to be
something in the future, and the qucs-
ton was what that something should be.
To judge the futu.e they must look to
the past. Soon after the Constitution
was formed the wise and patriotic men
who had achieved our liberty differed as
to its Interpretation. Washington,
Adams, Jefferson, each had their views.
Some desired free constitution Of it ;
others insisted that as grant Of rights
from the people it must be strictly con-
strued. These latter insisted that other
wise our Government was not q govern
ment OF limited but absolute powers,
pointing to history to show how govern
ments used temporary eXigoucics to en-
croach on liberty. This party naturally
called itself the party Of the people, the
Democratic party. This party had al
ways shown itself the party Of personal
liberty, and where the individual right
came in conflict with the right ofcapial,
they had thrown their weight into the
scale of individual right. Recently
circumstances had occurred to obscure
these ideas, and at times ii seemed that
they must perish, All honor to those
who in the darkest times had held fast
to them.
Now, as to the past, bygoncs are by
cones. The object of the Democracy
now should be that which is best for the
country, without regard to race, color,
or previous condition. They would &C.
cept the Constitution as it is. Though
they had opposed the attempt to force
through the thirteenth, fourteenth and
iGecath amendments by what they con
,idorcd inexcusablc means, yet having
been adopted by a majority Of the couu-
try, and the country having committed
itself TO the experiment, the Democracy
took them, and would bear them as Of
old the Israeltes bore the ark of the
covenant. But still TO them, as to the
whole Constitution, they would apply
the good old Democratic principle Of
strict construction, and would live up to
them and it. They would be, as before,
the best friends of the Constitution in
GLIDING the recent amendments.
They must look squarely in the face
the fact tIa, the colored men were ciliz-
ems. The Democratic position Rad long
been misunderstood. The Democrats,
holding firmly the doctrine of equal
rights to all citizens, were, in fact, bet
ter friends of them than lip liberals or
calculating scalawags. The right Of
labor was a right on which the past his
tory Of the Democratic party was suilici.
emily eloquent, and the doctrine Of
equality to labor covered the question of
protection In conclusion, he pointed
out the discussion and personality Of the
Republican party, and claimed that with
adherence to Democratic principles and
fair amount of effort, the success of
the Democratic party was assured"
The above speech is all right except
in one or two particulars. We cannot
endorse them. Need the reader be told
what they are ? lie can guess.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases Of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.

Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
| upon the confidence Of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints Through long
series Of years, and among most of the races OF
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms OF disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most e1ectual remedy that can
be given for ncipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections Of the throat and lungs. As pro.
vision against sudden attacks Of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by tho
Cherry Pcctordl. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it, When moth,
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
toral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro,
lection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
bronchitis Is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectOral in small and frequent doses.
For Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
be had. Take small doses three times a day and
put the feet in warm water at night, until tho
disease is broken up.
For Influenza, when It affects the throat or
lungs, take tho same course.
For WhoOpin0 Cough, give small doses three
or four times o day.
For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome.
No family should be without the Cherry Pecto-
raj on hand to protect Them in case Of attack,
from the above complaints. Its timely use often
spares the patient great amount Of suffering and
risk, which he would incur by waiting until he
could get other aid. Parents keep tin your houses
for the eXigencies that arise. Lives dear to you
may be saved byt.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish certificates Of them here, or do moro
than assure the public that the best qualities ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
