SOL. MILLER ON WHISKEY.

The Troy chit, this. week, breaches a
bit of a sermon to boys and young men,
which contains solid doses OF wisdom I'M
der the head OF at will beat you" whis-
key will beat old business men as well AS
boys, professional men Us surely as labor
crs. merchants AS sure AS farmers, as the
records OF The years only too plainly show.
The Chi.f says:
ut will beat you. IL will beat the strong
est and smartest man that ever lived, il he
gives IL n chance. The yOul z man who
thinks IL is smart 10 drink whiskey, and
who burns his throat and stomach, strangles
himself. and makes his eyes water, in order
10 learn 10 drink, then gulps down water ~
relieve himself. would far better take
dose OF sirychnine. lie II engaging in a
struggle with an enemy that will beat him.
No man ever lived that beat whiskey ex-
cept by letting it alone. Daniel Webster,
and stephen A. Douglas, and Dick Yates,
and thousands of ether talented men, tried
10 beat il. but went under. There is n
good deal Of humbug in the plea that men
become so enslaved to the habit that they
can't quit drinking. OF course, they have
the appetite, and as long as they feed it.
they are not quitting; but exercise Of will
power and self-denial will accomplish il.
These able and talented men who have
gone SO FAR that they can't quit, are gener-
ally the victims OF self-concei'. They i'm
agine that they can keep it up, ard beat
whisLey at last and so they go under. We
have known in our life, fully half a dozen
eases Of men, generally Of ordinary intel
lect, and not reported 10 have great will
power, who were sots from their youth up
TO the age of from sixty to seventy years.
We had the evidence of older persons that
they were druBkards when young, and we
know they were rs old men, and we know
they have already suffered from delirium
tremens. Yet at that advanced age they
quit drinking, ard stuck TO il, and lived II
number OF years afterward, and died sober
men. Yet who can estimate the amount Of
misery they endured during all these years
of drunkenness, and the time and money
they squanderedl Although they live So

their old habits that could not be effaced.
We hold that almost any drunkard can quit
If he will, but he cam OF do it by INDUCING
his appetite with an occasional dram. A
great deal of sport was made of Horace
Greeley, because he said the only way TO
resume specie payments, was TO resume.
Yet there was wisdom in the remark, and
he stated the ease exactly. II couldn't be
done by discussing it, and fixing for it, and
talking about IL. So with quitting drink
ing. fhe only way TO quit, IL to quit. But
Il better way is not TO begin.
This brings our temperance sermon TO
the boys TO a close just where We began.
Let whiskey alone, or it will surely beat

 The Republican convention which met last evening to nominate candidates for Rep resentatiyes did the best piece of political work that has been done in New Haven for some time. Such ticket as they made up is very encouraging. The gentlemen nomin- sted need no introduction to the citizens of New Haven, and one of them has reputation which is not confined to this State. MT. Harrison Is one of the foremost citizens of Connecticut. He has great purity and dig nifty of character, eminent ability and wide knowledge of public affairs. He is 8 forcibls speaker. He has had legislative experience and has assisted in framing some of the most important legislation the State has had. He would have much influence in the legislature and his influence would always bo used on the right side.
 Mir. Peck, the other nominee, is a good of New Havsn's best class of business men. He has excellent judgmens, is thoroughly upright, and has had consider ble experience in public affairs. He would make very valuable member of the legisIa ture and would give careful and honest at tention to his duties
 If these gentlemen are elected New Haven will be fitly represented in the legislature. This is large city, and it's representatives at Hartford ought to bs men vho can speak and work for it's interests and ths interests of the State effectively. The ticket offers all who are not bitterly and Dennocratically par tisan fine opportunity. Indeed, 1t is an ideal ticket. The Democrats cannot and will not present better one, and the indications now are that they will not present one nearly as good. The voters of New Haven ought to jump at the chance Of electing such ticket, regardless of party.
