Wakes andtheirrevelry

wakes" and the1rrevelry
We havesno remembrance, in
years of Journalism, of soghas-
thy a horror as that which &c
CURED, some days age, at a
awake" in Dubuque. The
corpse had decomposed go rap
idly and consequent gases had
generated soredundantly in the
heated roomin which acrowd of
the deceased's friends werehold-
ing high revelry, that the coffin
burst open with q loud report.
and one arm ofthe dead man tell
on the table, in hooking repre-
hension, as it We're, of the drum
ken orgies surrounding it. The
scene of alarm that ensued may
easily be conjeetpred. The lights
were upset and extinguishea
The women, as usual, tainted.
The majority Of the men display
ed their valor in a precipitate
flight. Those who remained
were too much appalled, to run.
and covering their eyes. to shat
out the horrible speet$cle calm
ly awaited fheir doomt AS the
supposed sghosts created mo
farther disturbance, sufh Gent
courage was mustered by some
body, after a time, to re-intro-
duce alight andexposet the ''dam
age" effected!
At the best, these wakes
are nothing but relics. 6 aneiehi
barbarism, and when. they ere
prolonged for three days, as on
this occasion, eKhat could be
expected but rapid deeopposi-
ton, and anything but an at
mosphere redolent of roses?
Dead humanity has no preced-
ence, in point Of aroma: over
dead anything else. When hp-
manity is not dead, but is in a
trance-when the life of the
supposed corpse is in q state of
temporary suspension, but not
extinct-a "wake" might af.
ford nature a very good oppor-
tunity to re-assert her sovereign
sway by restoring the moribund
to mortal existence, and this we
take it was the loriginaI design
of such night-watching beside
the coffin. But that night watch
has degenerated into,a drunken
ss.a = 80
frolic in which tobacco and
whiskey constitute the salient
features, and a ''ruetion" or a
fight one of the characteristic
incidentals. When a corpse
"wakes" up, under such cir
cumstances, chemistry can
readily explain the reason; but
it is a disgusting thing to keep
the remains of one we lovediun-
til the limits Of mortality are sc
far passed that a hideous mass
of sickening putrefaction must
be the result. Such sxakes'
and such reyelry over the dead
should be prohibited in the in.
terest of humanity, not to say
of morality.

sF Some of our contempora.
ries of the country press are. agi-
tated because the daily Nashville
papers, with which they have been
heretofore. favored in exchange,
are discontinued to them. Taking
a business view of the case, we do
not see where the just cause for
complaint comes in. For several
years the OBSERVER has, through
the liberality of the Union and
Banner, received those papers dai
ly. If the 5proprietors are weary
of this unequal trade-if they
think they have given Us ten dol
lars for two about long enough,
and now wish the Burden to4be
more equally divided, who can
blame them? We do not. We
would like to contipu!e. under the
old rule, of course, but failing in
that, we presume they are willing TO
exchange with country papers, the
latter paying the ,, difference be
tween a daily and weekly issue.
That is the, rule, that obtains in
cities generally we believe, and

would, probably, be willing to
govern themselves accordingly"

CORRESPONDENCE of the Alexandria Gazette.
BALTIMORE July l0.-The National Demo-
cratic Convention in endorsing the Cincinnati
platform and nominating Greeley and Brown
did nothing more than carry out the expressed
wishes of the pie Of the country, who are in
favor of thorough change in the :dlulnistra-
ton OF the government. 1t did its work quickly
but we'll, and with an enthusiasm that remind
ed one of the days of the old Wing and Demo-
cratic parties The union of the Democrats,
Conservatives and Liberal Republicans is com
plete and in the future, the probabilities arc
that new and live ISSUES are to divide parties
the result of which X is not difficult to solve
The chances at present arc that Greeley and
Brown will be elected The difference between
the Baltimore and Philadelphia Convention was
well stated by lady correspondent OF a West
err paper who said thar the latter Was conlpos-
ed of office holders and politicians, while the
former was made up of the people
Virginia, of course, took u prominent part in
the Convention, and her voice always had
weight. She voted against the call for the pre-
vious question on the adoption of the platform,
willing that there should be Il full AMI free dis
c,lssion; but on its adoption her chairman cast
Il united vote in It's favor, and when she was
called upon to vote for nominees, Mr. Bncnck,
chairman OF the Delegations cast her twenty
two votes as unit for Greeley and Brown
amidst great applause. 1t was thought that
Mr.. Greeley would have been nominated by
Virginia, but gentleman from Illinois obtain
cd the floor and made the nomination. Lieut..
