THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE
FEDERAL SUPREME COURT.

Continuing the discussion Of the topic
commenced yesterday, we assert that a
blind, seryile homage TO the Supreme
Court wus never Democratic sentiment
until the party became demoralizcd by the
false position into which it was forced BY
It's connection with the slavery agitation
Jealousy Of the Supreme Court, not blind
confidence in 1t, was the old Democratic
policy; and on this subject we must q
back to the ancient landmarks This i,
one Of the subjects on which the progress
sive tendencies Of the party have no place
or scope. II relates 10 the very structure
Of the Government to the distribution
Of powers established by the Constitution.
and a. that instrument has undergone nc
change except by the recent amendments
the Constitution is, in other respects, pre-
ciscly what It was in Jackson's time anC
Jefierson's time comforting neither NOR,
power nor less power ON any department
Of the Government than il did on the day
it was ratified On all topics of this class
we must 20 resolutely back TO first princi-
Piles, and re-establish the old Democratic
doctrines.
Blind Difference to the authority Of the
Supreme Court came into the Democratic
party in connection with the slavery ques-
ton, and was made a new article Of Demo
cratic faith by that most unfortunate event
in our judicial annals, the passion-exciting
bred Scott decision of which the Democrat
ic party has good reasons for washing its
hands Even then, il was not foisted
upon Us by original Democrats At the time
that mischievious, agitating decision was
made, one old Federalst was President,
and another old Federalist Chief Justice
Of the Supreme Court True they were
converts To Democracy, but both became
converts rather late ia life, and brought
with them their old Federal notions re-
speeding the authority Of the Judiciary
When Mr. Buchanan, in his inugural ad.
dress, in anticipation of the then forth
coming bred Scott decision, declared that
he would be irreversibly bound by the au
thority Of the Supreme Court, whatever
It's decision might be, respecting the rights
OF slavery in the Territories, he did not
give utterance 10 Democratic sen
timent. but 10 an old Fell sentiment
Chiet,Justice fancy equally followed his
''l I euerh inSf nets in undertaking to
- =" - ting political question by a
- decision. The tone Of thinking
introduced was favored by the large
Nhig recruits brought to the Democratic
party by the slavery agitation. Those
Wing accessions had been educated in Mr..
Mebsters ideas Of the authority Of the
Supreme Court, and as fancied party ne.
ccssities were subserved by Democrat,
acceptance Of the doctrine, the party wa
cut loose from its old moorings on thi
subject. and betrayed into Remuneration
Of the time honored principles Of its greaf
leaders.

1t is matter Of record that a large part
Of the world insanity is caused by liquor,
and that that liquor is usually a madden
inr compound Of naphtha, vitriol aud
other fiery drugs The remedy for this is
not 10 prohibit the sale of Intoxicating
drinks Such a law cannot be enforced
We ought 10 have inspectors, who should
test liquor in the saloons in which it was
sold Samples can be readily obtained,
without exciting suspicion. If these, wher
analysed, are found 10 be adulterated
the stock on hand should be seized and
destroyed, aud the owner fined. We
should punish a man who sells bad liquor
precisely as we punish one who sells bat
meat A rigorous supervision Of this sort
would probably reduce the evils resultini
from the traffic one-half.

Valuable Suggestions.

The American Educational Monthly of
a recent issue contains the following inter
esting and valuable suggestions in regard
to proper school discipline
!. No child should be allowed to at
tend school before the beginning Of his
sixth year
.. The duration Of daily attendance
including the time given TO recess and
physical exercise should not exceed four
and half hours for the primary schools /;
five and half for other schools.
8. There should be no study required
ont of schOol--unless at high sehoOl-and
this should not exceed one hour
T. Recess time should be devoted to
play outside the school room--unless dur
ING stormy weather-and, as the time
rightly belongs to the pupils, they should
not be deprived Of it except for serious of
| lenses and those who are not deprived OF
| it should not be allowed to spend it in
study No child should ever be confined
| TO the school room during an entire ses-
SION The minimum II recess time should
be fifteen minutes each session. and iii pri-
mary schools there should be more than
one recess in each session.
| g. Physical exercise should be used in
school 10 prevent nervous and muscular
! fatigue and to relieve monotony, but not
as muscular training 1t should be
practiced by both teacher and children, in
every hour not broken by recess, and
should be timed by music In primary
schools every half hour should be broken
| by exercise, recess or singing
g. Ventilation should be amply provid-
ed by other means than by windows
though these should be used in addition Il
special means during recess and exercise
/ time.
:. Lessons should be scrupulously APP
! portioned "a the average capacity of the
| pupils and in primary schools the slate
should be used more and the book less
and the instruction should be given as
much as possible on the principle of OBJ
ject teaching

They are all three to be taken at the same time.
They cleanse the stomach relax the liver and put il
to work; then the appetite becomes good; the food
digests and makes good blood; the patient begins
to grow in flesh; the diseased matter rpens in the
lungs, and the patient outgrows the disease and gets
well. This is the only way TO cure Consumption.
