FASHIONABLE MASxERs. There is set of
people whom cannot bear-the pinks of
fashionable propriety-whose every word Is
precise; and whose every movement is unex-
ceptionable; but who, though versed in all the
categories of polite behavior, have not particle
of soul or cordiality about them. We allow
that their manners may be abundantly correct


There may be elegance in every gesture, and
gracefnlness in every position, not smile out
Of place; and not step that would not bear the
measurement of the severest scrutiny. This is
all very fine; but what want is the heart and
gaiety of social intercourse, the frankness that
spreads ease and animation around it the eye
that speaks afability to ALL that chases timidity
from every bosom, and tells every man in the
company to be confident and happy. This is
what conceive to be the virtue Of the text and
not the sickening formality Of those who walk by
rule and would reduce the whole of human life
TO wire-bound system ofmisery and constraint

In another place, we give report OF what
was done at the city convention, last evening


The proceedings were generally harmonious,
and the ticket nominated is very good, and it
deserves very cordial and earnest support
especially from the republican party, which
was represented by the convention, ltis proper
to say here that Mr.. Salisbury, who received
a good many votes in the convention, was not
Il candidate for the nomination for mayor. 1t
was understood that he would not accept
nomination. We make this explanation, be


cause the voting for Mr. Salisbury might be
misunderstood if it were not known that his
name was used without his consent and con
trary TO his desire. Mr.. Rice, the nominee
for mavor, is an old citizen of Worcester, and
one of our NEST successful business men. No
man in the city, probably, is more familiar
with the routine Of city business, aud none
would be more likely 10 give close, active, and
faithful attention to the duties of the office for
which he has been nominated. He has had
considerable experience in the city govern
ment, having served three years as president
OF the council The list of candidates for alder
men seems to us very good indeed The
nominees are all men of character and ability
and they will do the city excellent service.

REMARKABLE CASE OF DIPTHERIA- The
St Louis Republican relates the following
mode OF treatment at hospital in that city, in
a case Of diptheria, now very prevalent in the
west The disease at first yielded readily to
the local application OF a strong solution Of nj
trate of silver, mild mercurial cathartics with
quinine and blister on the nape of the neck
After exposure, the disease became worse, the
former treatment failed OF relief, and the only
hope was to open the windppe below the
larynx. When the opening was made into the
windpipe there was an immense gush of mu
cous, mixed with slreds of the false mem
brane, Which was blocking up the trachia and
larynx. a silver tube was at once placed in
the opening through which the mucous and
lymph continued to escape, until now his re-
covery is placed beyond doubt.

dental election. The speaker maintained that
whether the slave states continued in the
Union or not, slavery will be under greater
restraint IN the future than in the past, and
being reslraincd, must eventually die out.
The late election had settled, among other
questions, that of the reoppnng of the slave
trade. All patriots should thank God that
slavery is no longer the dominant power in
this country.

THE STATE OF MAxHATTAS.-Some of the
people of New York city feel so annoyed by leg
islative action affecting their municipal affairs
that they threaten to call for division of the
State. The Netcs says that four ffths of the
100000 voters south of the Highlands would be
in favor of it. In such an event adds the Ne,os
" New York, South, or the State of Manhattan
although smaller in territory, would be as strong
in every necessary element of power and great
ness as the State she separated from. We should
enjoy also the privileges of making our own
laws and choosing our own rulers-a privilege
for which our fathers fought and bled. We
their sons, and the inheritors of their principles
would be recreant to the sacred trust bequeathed
us by them should we submit to what they would
not submit"

Mr.. EDITOR was shown few days since
machine for raising water, which bids fair to
be of great value in some localities. 1t is the
invention of gentleman of San Francisco
There is principle involved in it, but it
has an application of old principles somewhat
novel, at least to me. Perhaps description Of
it will be of some interest to the readers OF the
JOURNAL.


There is requisite, in the first place, stream
of water deep enough to float scow of suitable
size, and rapid enough to furnish the required
power to an undershot wheel. This wheel IS
placed at one end of the scow after the manner
of stern wheel propeller, so as to receive the
force of the current, and is attached by suitable
gearing to the pump which is stationed in the
scow. The scow is so moored with long cables
that it will float in the middle of the current,
and rise and fall with the water. From the
pump, discharging pipe conducts the water to
the tank, and to any hight, and in quantity lin
tied only by the power of the current and size Of
the pump.


| There seems no reason why this invention
should not be of great utility. Given the neces-
sary natural Prerequisites stream of sufficient
depth to furnish the power and current-and
water can certainly be raised in large quantities
and to a considerable height. There are plenty
of places where it can be applied to raising
water for mining purposes and for irrigation. A
short time hence this invention will be in tre-
| guent use.

disgraceful failure made last year in the attempt
to celebrate the day here, and to determine that
this year such a gloomy quiet shall not reign in

stration of such character as will bring glad
ness to the hearts of our people and reinstate

Mr.. Editor, be kind enough to suggest the
manner by which an effective and united action
can be secured in this matter. You made a
most commendabe move last year; it proved la
Dor lost. Hope for better results this year and
renew the effort more zealously. l think all

The Democracy are fighting for
the right of the people to make
their own laws in State and Terri
tory. They are fighting for the
great principle of mans capacity
to govern himself. This doctrine
was fought for in 1776, and the
people are now called to maintain
or reject it. Your fathers fought
eight years to establish and defend
it, and now will their son repudi-
ate the blood and treasure then
spent? True, it is, we have this
day two parties who obstinately de-
ny to the people the right of self
government, and claim that the
emigrants who go out from the va
rious States of the Union into the
Territories, and there settle and as
sumo the character of an organized
community, have not the right to
determine for themselves such civil
institutions and domestic policy as
they may want. One of these par
ties is headed by Lincoln, the other
by Breckenridge, although enemies
to each other they engage in a
scheme to wrest from the people
their rights. Aroused by their
plots hundreds and thousand who
never heretofore acted with the
national Democracy, have already
taken their stand manfully in the
ranks, and we firmly believe that
thousands upon thousands will yet
do SO, and that the people will up
hold the good old doctrine and tri-
umphantly elect its representative
men, Douglas and johnson.

The Issue. Jt's.' Ja


For more than two years, the
Administration, with all its tools,
in the shape of Postmasters and
other officials, have pursued Doug
las and his friends with q ven
geance unparalleled in the history
Of the country. No epithet has
been too severe and no abuse too
low and vulgar for them to heap
upon the head of the great states
man, who dared to defend the
right and oppose the perpetration
of a great wrong, attempted to be
inflicted upon the people of Kan
sas. by the Administration, For
his firm and unfinching adherence
to principle, he has been hunted
down by the minions of power; and
now that he is the candidate of
the Democratic party for Presi-
dent, they still pursue him, and in
order to crush him out, boldly pro-
claim that they will succeed in
their hellish work, no matter if
ruin to the party, and devasta-
tion to the country follow.


For this purpose they bolted
from the regular Convention at
Baltimore, and nominated Breck-
inridge and Lane. % ~ .e


The issue is so plain that it can
not be misunderstood-it must be
fairly and squarely met. The peo-
pie or the Federal office holders
must rule. That is the issue, and
it is for the freemen of this couptry
to say which shall govern. For
one, we have long since enrolled
ourelf on the side of the masses ;
and, as we have, for two years, bat
tied against the attempt of office
holders to rule them, so we intend
to do as long as we have a voice in
the politics of the country. This
will be our position, no matter who
may be in power. The time has
come when the question must be
met and decided. We took our
stand with Douglas at the start,
and stand with him to-day, and
intend to remain by him until the
bitter end. We do not desire to be
counted as one of the latter dag
saints. 8. .'.. .f"f -H#

In regard to the point relative
to the Presidents threat to ostra-
else his friends, Douglas) had made
the statement in a public speech
The President denies it in a letter
to q member of Congress. He
could have no controversy with
him about the matter. There ,oere
no witnesses to the conversation. AS
to the other point, that he had not
removed his friends, he appealed to
the record to contradict the asser-
ton. He had not sought a contro-
versy with the President on these
points. The President had forced
it upon him by writing a letter to
be read all over the country, and
that after he had taken the stump
against him. He left the matter
to the consideration and verdict of
the people.


Mr.. Douglas here alluded to the
charge that he was the "stump
candidate" He said the reason
which had prevented candidates
heretofore from taking the stump
was the fear of giving utterance to
sentiments in one locality that
would lose votes in another. He
had no such fear. He had but one
sentiment for all the sections of our
common country, and could with
equal freedom give utterance to
them in the North or South, East
or West. He declared he was not
courting votes for the Presidency.
If the people would put down the
two sectional parties which are
threatening the perpetuity of the
Union = rebuke fanaticism both
