HON. j. Il. AGkLEN.

We rejoice to hear and read
that the sensational, Injurious and
at the same time calumnioas re-
ports circulated ia Washinton city
concerning our able and worthy
representative in Congress, ). H..
Acklcu. are false and in every
respect to he disbe)ieved. The
press in general have rcfnted the
slanderous charge, and we cannot
but Join in the universal condemn
alton of the silly attacks made
upon the character Of one who
since election has been a true and
Jealous representative of the inter-
ests Of his con- titucnts, who has
been untiring in the good work
of righting their wrongs in every
instance, and who by his course
of answering patriotism, his
courteous manners, ability in de-
bate, has secured the esteem,
confidence and admiration OF his
fellow citizens.
The shafts Of his enemies and
the enemies Of the people, whom
he so ably and m~ercilessly scathed
and exposed to public e%xecration
will fall harmless at his feet.
Ia the Hon. J. II. Acklen Me
recognize an honest, able and faith
full representative in Congress
and sincerely hope that at the
next Convention, the people vii
SO decree by re-nominating hin
for the exalted but well deserved
position which he now occupies.

ion of some of our best people as
TO its merits. We have been

our assertions.

When a rattlesnake is disturb
ed, it sounds an alarm, and then
if compelled, it will fight. When
the yictem is within reach. the
Jaws Of the snake are separated,
and the head thrown back SO as
to bring the fangs into a fayora-
BILE position to penetrate the
object. The head is then darted
rapidly forward, the u%nsheathed
tooth penetrates the body of the
victcm, and the poison is injected
into the flash. The same mus.
cular acts which open the wound,
inject the venom through the
duct, and into the part penetrat-
ed by the tooth. The divergence
of the fang points when the snake
bites often causes a considerable
distance between the two wounds.
The power with which the venom
is elected from the tooth depends
somewhat upon the amount con,
tanned in the gland and its ducts.
1t the snake fails to strike the
object aimed at, the poison is
sometimes projected several feet
and a case is On record where it
was thrown into the eyes Of q
man who was six feet from the
snake, when it struck upwards al
a stick held above its coil.

A Constitutional ConUention
needed.-It is a well known fact to
the politicians Of this State, we
mean those who assume the rob
of 1.-THE leaders of the masses" that
a large majority Of the people are
in favor OF a Constitutional Con
vention. They are anxious that
the present Constitution, bequeth-
ed US by Radicalism, be wiped out
of existence, and that one be
framed in its stead in keeping with
the time-honored principles and
reform measures of the Democratic
party. Reforms were preached to
the people from every stump by
Democratic orators during the last
campaign as imperativeIy neces'
sary to their welfare. and the
party being now in power, the
people naturally look for some OF
the lohg-promised reforms, and as
they justly view the present State
Constitution as one Of the very
first evils to dispose Of, their de
mand is that a Constitutional
Convention be held and that
new constitution be framed. Til:
is a we'll known fact to the afore
said leaders" and how they ex
peci to longer dodge this fact, w
cannot tell.

by Hon. b. M. Thompson, of Sag
inaw, J. N. Tiff, of New York,
and A. r. Mcdonald. Mr.. Thomp-
son is good and fluent speaker,
and is just the man calculated to
make y first-class, honest and hard
working member of Congress, and
if he should be elected, the people
of the Eighth district would have
the honor OF being represented by
man worthy of the position.
During the whole course of his re-
marks, his audience gave him their
entire attention, and at many in
tervals applauded him in an APP
proving manner. His arguments
were strong and conclusive, while
at the same time he displayed no
radical disposition. Members of
the opposition party speak of him
in q commendable manner.
