Diet.—Wo fear ■wo are. to have a sickly, season imall parts of the country. The long list of obituary noti ces to be seen, in nearly all our exchanges, is evidence of this fact. The days are hot and the nights cold, and when this is the case sickness can only bo avoided by the greatest care.; About our diet wo cannot bo too cau tious. Unripe fruit, cucumbers, &c., should bo avoided, if wo desire to preserve health. Be.car'eful! .

Quite a large and. enthusiastic meeting of the friends of Douglas, Johnson, Foster and Democracy, was held at Hogestown,oh Satur day evening last... A hickory pole r one hun dred >hnd thirteen- feet long, in honor of bur standard bearers was raised, after which-, the meeting was organized bythe appointment Of John Trimble, Esc}., os President, assisted by. a number of Vice Presidents and Secreta ries. Eloquent and patriotic speeches wore delivered by Wii. H. Miller, II; New-sham, W. J. Shearer, Wm. C. Houser, Esqrs., and others. The Democrats of Silver Spring are determined to dp their duty this fall,-and we are assured that a majority will ho given for the Democratic .ticket fhat will astonish oven the “ oldest inhabitant." Jgy'When Df. Cottiss’ friend, last week, called upon us, and asked us, “ as a ,particu lar favor,” to publish a short communication, explaining away, as far as ho could, the po litical sentences contained in the Baccalau- reate sermon, delivered by Dr. C, before the students of Dickinson College, wo at first de clined doing so, and wo suggested that a, de fence of the sermon'had better appear in-the,' disinterested organ of the College, the Herald. But, the writer thought not, and assured us that if-.we would agree to the use of our' col-. iimnsj nb.Teply to our fpmcr'atri(Stui:o3 -wowld appear in any other pnperin town.,) With this: understanding,' tie published; l in oiir last,, a (communication in defence, or rather apologet ical, of.Dr/C’s. imprudent sermon; Wowerpi a lUtlo (not much)’surpri'sVd,^ in tho i/ccaW-t-issuod one- dayaftor our own |tt_reply;si^^ TliTs reply, -Wo have rcpsOn to' know; is the emanation of that politicid bedlam; ycieped Dickinson College. It'' is 'full of bitterness, contradictions ■ pod lies, and if its author ls hot a coward: he' will- unmask himself that iwe may know who wo are contending with." ■fPhe fact of this '.Billingsgate communication appearing in the Herald after we had been , assured that nothing of .the /kind should.- or, would appear, is another evidence to us that if there are 1 bur tovf'n, they belong to X>io)tiiispn/,cioUege.' They: got us’ to ,grant.them' a favor, by tolling ns a deli berate downright, falsehood. And yet these are the-men who talk abpnt Munekdusens,’\ “ malignity,” &c. , . r Wo'had hoped that we bad said all that was necessary about Dr. Collins’ sermon. We have hb “ hatred" fbr Dr.cC.; on the contrary Vo wiali him well. Wp permitted his friend to use our columns, and gave him the benefit of his own explanation of bis sermon; But, that the subject is again opbnpd up, we shall defend ourself and our first remarks just as long as wo or our strictures are attacked. The correspondent of the Herald would like to make it appear that Dr. Collins’ sermon was general in its character, that he, (Dr. C.) is no politician, &c. Both these assertions | are untrue. Ho has-meddled actively’in pol itics since he resided hero, and his sermon was not general in its character. Who did he re fer to, (in bis sermon,) when he spoke (in the most vindictive and insulting manner,) of those “ high in authority t” What “ investi gating committee” had ho reference to? ; If Dr. 0. ‘did not know who ;and what he was 1 speaking of, every one of his hearers did;—; They understood him, and when his sermon was concluded and the audience dismissed, leading Kepublicans left the building with a broad grin, and one of them (an intelligent man,) remarked to us, “did’nt ho give old Buck fitp ?” It will not do, therefore, for Dr. Collins’ friends to attempt to lie him out of the dilemma he placed himself in. Our people are not to be humbugged by any such silly at tempt. They understand language and also the “proclivities” of certain gentlemen. •' But, enough. We hope wo have said all that is necessary on this very small sub ject, and shall only refer to it again if self defense requires jt. Singular Movement.—'Wo observe thatß. J. Ilaldcman, Esq., member of tho Douglas National Committee, has been addressing let ters to the different electors appointed by the Reading Convention demanding of them ex plicit answers regarding their choice of can didates for the Presidency. This is an im proper- interference. The electors are only responsible to their constituents and to the Democratic State- Committee, and -any inter- foronco from any outsider is improper,, dhd I comes with a -particularly bad grace from the friends-, of popular sovereignty. If twenty thousand oitiiens-of a territory are fully com ’ potent for self-government, aro-nof the citizens of a sovereign State containing- a- population of three millions capable of managing, their ’ own affairs ? 8®- The Presidential' Electors for Breckin ridge and for Bell in Mississippi, have agreed 1 to canvass the State togelhcr.- ENGENDERING.

The Slave Trade. —The Now York Times givestho names■ of thirty-one Amoricon. sla vers cleared from that port' between' August 10th,,1859, and June 19th, 1860, and adds that “ many others cleared for the West In dies and' other, parts, and then proceeded to. the coast of Africa for cargoes for the plantar tidns." This is a pretty brisk business.— Why don’t the Anti-slavery agitators of the Sumner, Seward, and Garrison school, devote a little of their wrath to this barbarism of the slave trade in. New York? If northern'ship owners, would not engage in the business, of importing Africans,, there would be few; of hone for Southern planters to buy. “ Old North auptoh.” —Tho Dcmocrnta of “ Old Northampton"; hold a meeting recently at Easton; and, after the delivery of several speeches, recommonded'nnanimous/y the adop tion of a union electoral, ticket, ns suggested by the Democratic State Central Committee, and instructed their member of that Commit l teo to vote accordingly..
