Opposition Tunes and Availability
What is the issue agau.st which we must

which is fast hastening upon us I Is it 11

Rack herublican party has beck endeavor
mg to propsgate These are questions of
a Plain practical hearing: uhich should un
doubtedly receive due consideration We
do not. indeed suppose, that either of the
foregoing elements will be urged against us,
unsupported by the others. Every effort tof
arillability will be pot forth to defeat
the Democratic party, by concessions, com
promises and 11) peens). The west i asusl
observation cannot fail to fore tee that every
semblance to principles will be saeritleil -
Suffering Kansas —the Lecompton t'onsti•

fact every feature of vituperation and abuse
that can possibly ho brought into linty ez •

purposes.
What, indeed, is the object in thus blend
ing together the rotten principles of so many
defunct organizations ? The question ha,
doubtless been answered a thousand times
in the matter of arm/obi/ay. Ti ace the
history of every organization of opposition
to the Democratic party to Its hiutidatmo,
and abundant evidence will apt - ear, that on
such a peculiarity, is based its [triniiiects
and vitality
The annexation of Texa•, was one of those
issues upon which the cam'patgn of 1t144
came to a successful terms ration, and that
patriotic-statesman James K Polk. was a
laCtad by the Democratic party, President of
the United States. Four years elapsed and
the same party so bitteily opposed to his
election and administration, compromised in
a measure its hostility. What was the in

scarcely given political matters sufficient at

be it from us to disparage services rendered
to the country by the hunami dead. We
would rather Join in revering his memory
and invoke "peace to his slumbering ashes.'
But that PALM characteristic privaliple of the

the last fifty years has been almost entirely
under the exclusive control of the Democrat

hllll tver shone upon has increased in idgength
and dimensions equal to this, or has been
as happy and prosperous, at no time, within
that period, have the false prophets failed to
declare that the country was ruined, and the
Democratic, party was about to be dissolved!
These declarations, so often repeated, are
quite familiar to the people's ears, and re

make them are no longer regarded as worthy

LOCAL AND PERSONAL
PRKCAUTIOgAnT —AI there was never a
time, says an exchange, that requfted more
care 4o preserve health and life than the
present, we would drop n few words to our
readers by way of precaution. Never drink
copiously of ice or cold spring water when
in a profuse perspiration ; lot it be swallow
ed at intervals of et few moments, and previ
ously pour, a little- , over the wrists. Never
drink cold water within forty minutes affet
a - full meal , it inures digestion and stops
perspiration ; nor never engage in as vigor
ous labor immediately after meats as may
.be done after the lapse of an hour. Never
drink cold milk instead of water while en
gaged in hard labor. When perSpiration
does not follow Revere exertion, but an in
satiable thirst ensues, without sweat, work
moderately, or take to tho " bush." Never
sit in the evening with wet clothing about
the person, but change it fortiry ; and never
bathe in cold water within one hour before
or after a meal, (especially after,) unless
ion have a very vigorous digestive system.
Neverait in damp oellars, or in draughti of
wind while perspiring, at Maid not a mo•
meat after the sense of mail is felt 'Phe
feeling of cold is the sentinel of the vital
system—obey its mandates It you' would.
have health. Keep the skin clean ; sleep in
dry garments, and don't be afraid to slum
ber with the windows up, unless the air is
loa‘b d with moisture and you feel cold as a
cOniv(merwe Null{ no Wb , *key, or any of
the vpoilt,l water called ate or beer. If the
system grows la•igu u l by over exertion in
digestion, or otherwise, and you need stim
ulants, resort to ginger, cayenne, cloves or
cinnamon, for these are real stimulants, but
iiever to rum. But above all, pay the prim
ter if you owe him, so that if old Sol should
a , rike you, t oe may die relieved of cme bur
