' And should the philanthropist dread the gather ing together of the storm? We say no, he has nothing to fear. The tempest may strew ruin on its path,, but it is necessary to the physical - equilibrium and purification of the air; and so is revolution necessary, when tyranny and op pression and frand and corruption are exerting all their influences against the freedom and hap ping of man. The power and goodness of God ;is seen and felt in the tempest; and so also should his mighty arm bo recognized in tho moral energies of those revolutions which change the features of history anil mark the progress of . humanity. The evils which attend botihnre par ~ tial: the good is universal. Those who say, let the Cossack- rule the earth until man is fit for self government; or, who are willing that des potism should fetter the,bodies and consciences _ of men forever, rather than have the moral ele ments disturbed and tko social restraints of ages thrown off ; are the enemies of their race—are stumbling blocks to the onward march of mnn to the fulfilment of his great destiny upon earth.

We learn from private sources that the good people of Now Lisbon are greatly alarmed m consequence of a terrible sickness, mneb re sembling “ship fever,” which is n ow prevailing .at that place. Upwards of thirty persons are now seriously ill with tho disease, and a num ber of deaths have taken place, amongst whom are some of the principal citizens of the town. - Upon making inquiry as to the cause of tbia strange sickness, the following facts have been made known to us On the Bth of January a new hotel was opened at Salem, in Colnmbiana county, on which occasion a large party was given and a number of ladies and gontlemen . from New Lisboa were present. The rooms • baring been recently plastered, and not tlior- oughly dried before fires were kindled in them, a dampness arose from tho walls, which is be* Sieved to he tho cause of the fatal sickness. A / large number of the New lusbon-gucßta slept in the hotel, on the occasion spoken of. What is singular about this sickness is the fact that it seems to bo contagions, many persons now be ing afflicted with the fever who were not pres, ent at the hotel opening at Salem.

Virgim a is particularly celebrated for the cultivation of this artlole. | evidence that au inferior Bpecies of 1 tobaocoTvas Cultivated and in use to some ex tent in some- parts of Uhinn . previous tooths discovery of. America by Columbus in 1492, but I there can bo no doubt that the species Or vario tfts.now to extensively used for smoking, chew- ; iug, &0., m Europo and America wereof Ameri can origin. When this country was first explor ed the tobacco plant was found growing wild in some districts m groat abundance, especially'in the tropical regions. Humboldt says- that tbo ! “stives.of Orinoco in South America raised it i tvith. great ■ care from time immemorial Co lumbus saw for the first time tobacco smoking 1 | at Cuba when ho first visited that Island; and I Sir Francis Drake conveyed the firßt tobacoo from | Virginia to England, and introduced the practice of smoking it luto that country jn which he was materially assisted by Sir Walter Halelgk and other Courtiers, iu 1580. Siuce this time the practice of smoking, chewing and snuffing hsß extended, so far ae we ciin iearn, to all the civ ilized and enlightened nations under the canopy of Heaven. Even in China; where tbo employ ment of opium for similar purposes is so com mon that it has become a national evil, tobacco has some votaries. Jt appears that a difference in climate, soil, and mode of cultivation causcß a corresponding difference in the physical and ohomical .proper ties of tobacco. The Virginia tojbacco is darker, coarser andstronger than almost any other; whilst the Cuba, Zlavanah, Columbian and Maryland are lighter and weaker. The former, in consequence of its strength, is unfit for ci gars, but is adapted for pipes, snuff and medi cinal purposes; the latter employed almost ex clusively in the manufacture of cigars. The ar ticle used in chewing is mostly manufactured out of the Kentuokj leaf y a variety intermediate in strength between those first described. A common cigar is likewise made from the Ken tucky tobacco. Different varieties of tobacco have been ana lysed and found to possess the same ingredi ents though in different proportions. These ingredients are Quin, Albumen, Lignin, Silicee, Malic add, Bitter Extractive, various salts, Nicotine, Nicotionin and an Empyreumatio oil. The medicinal virtues and poisonous properties of tobacco depend upon tho three last mention ed principles, of which Nicotina is tho most powerful. Virginia tobacco contains more Nicotina thon almost any other kind, hence its greater strength. Nicotina is among the most virulent poisons we have a knowledge or. One drop of its pure concentrated solution when placed upon the tongue of a dog will cause in the animal instan taneous death. The Same article wheifput in to a tube and brought near to smaller animals such ns small birds aud certain insects, will speedily end their existence from the virulen cy of its vapor. Nicotianin is likewise a powerful poison though it is not so active ns Nicotina. Its properties have not been fully investigated and therefore are in a great measure unknown. A generous experimenter swallowed one grain of it and soon after became affected with nausea, giddi ness, and an inclination to vomit. The empyrcumotio oil of tobacco is also pois onous. Ono drop of it, applied to the tongue of a cat, produced convulsions and death in two minutes. The other principles contained in tobacco are comparatively innocuous. .. When tobacco contains principles, which, in 1 , r ' Bta *e, prove so destructive to ani mal life, it stands to reason, and facts corrobo rate the convictions of reason, that when it is given to animals in its crude state, it acts equal ly as powerful, though not quito so suddenly as Us separated proximate elements above describ ed, though it requires to be given in much larger doses, in consequence of a difference in strength. Uogs, cats, and other animals have frequently been killed, and that speedily, by the admiois. (ration of small quantities of tobacco juice.— Many instances, indeed, are on rccerd, of human beings being killed by chewing aud smoking an excess of tobacco for the first time. it appears that tobacco, and its separated poisonous principles, do not not with equal power on all classes of animals. The carnivora and the human, are particularly susceptible to their mfloence .- whilst the herbivore, and espe cially the horse, are but slightly affected by “*“• twelve ounces of tobacco, in leaf, enough to kill fifty men, have been administered to the borse, m the course of two hours, without pro ducing in him any remarkable effect. Having given a short sketch of the history and peculiarities of tobacco, wo will now proceed to speak of its effects upon the animal economy and of its uses. Tobacco is a powerful nervous and arterial sedative ; that is, it is a depressor of the nervous nnd arterial systems, diminishing tho energy of the brain and the action of tho heart and urte nes. It likewise possesses dinrotio and emetio properties. These effects may be experienced from it no matter whether it bo taken into tbo stomach chewed m the month, or applied to the surface of the body. Besides these genial effects it excites sneezing, when taken into the nostrils in the fonn of snuff, and produces a oopions flow of saliva when chewed. •• Moderately taken it quiets restlessness, and calms mental and cor poreal inquietude, whioh has great charms for those habituated to tho impression.” In larger quantities, it produces giddiness, nauseo, vomit ing, prostration of strength and spirits, pale ness of the face, coldness of the akin, feebleness of the pulso, aud sometimes death. When to bacco is used even moderolely for any length of time, it prodnoes permanent injurious effectß upon the constitution. In consequence of its specific action upon the nervous system various nervous disorders, such as pain in tho head ringing in the ears, palpitation of the heart, and pains and aches in various parts of tho body re sult from Us long continued employment Ab will bo explained hereafter, dyspepsia and Us concomitants, emaoiation of the body nnd gene ral debility, are also offsprings of its action on the human system. . T ° b “ o0 > in consequence of Us great strength, is not often resorted to as a remedial agent, howl ever it has occasionally been employed in surg ery andin medicine, with marked advantages oases where Jess active agents were of butlittlo account In dislocations of the larger joints it is sometimes given to tl# patient to nroduoe prostration and relaxation of his muscles, so that the surgeen can replace the disoolated bones without much difficulty. In medicine it has been used m various complaints. In tho various forms of cholic, and in Tetanus, or lock jaw as it is vnlgarly called, complaints which frequently prove fatal, it has been administered internally and m some instances with complete snocoss.- Applied externally in the form of poultice or cataplasm, it often proves advantageous in Crimn Acqto Bronchitis, Dysentery, nnd violent and cramps in various parts of the body The smoking of tobacco will frequently give reliof to Asthma and tooth-ache. Some physicians have given tobacco successfully, in some forms of Dropsy. The smoke, or on infusion of tho same is an excellont remedy for the destruction of those Uttle vermin whioh bo freqnently infest the heads of ohildren. • h ? 7 ““ *>y the foregoing, that tobacco is not altogether a useless drug, bat that in the hands of a oareful and competent medical man It is a useful and valuable medicine. We conceive that the proper use of this plant is almost if not wholly confined to the domain of medicine, and that its general employment in Bmoking,;chewing and snuffing is its abuse It is to the latter, or to the abuse of the article that we wish now to direot attention. ’ This branch of omv subject is so important and extensive that it-would require ten times the space we will oooupy for its full discussion Time will only admit of a passingglanoe at some of the objections to the popular employment of tobacco. Wo object to the chewing, smoking &c., of to tocco in the first place on the score of economy. •Wo have -no means in our possession of oscer ! tabling accurately the amount of money expend* edjffthis country and in the world for this nox ipusweed; but it must beenormousy In 1889, , the English government derived a revenue from , ~*l*z*C * *■ * * ' - ' A- „ <■ V •* * 7 < . * .t< ’* - , * y*-‘» r , - r , — J ' ,■* «• '■ * v J. *<,«■•< }'.* s* >•-,.* l ' “ ' ' * -*:• ' ■ - f"Vt-' V r ;, • " , 1 - -'- ; J .'i . 7 v' t v-'- »«*-<• : ! . ; ,‘-i ■ .■■'- : . \ -;V^'’ r-JI *‘t * r ' " ■=*►" j ,'-... *- , * --»''■«££? t* ■*• v i a'* i r ii4r* i ‘* a ' *'.»•*> ’ 1 \ * ' r . -‘ ' * 1 ' ‘ ' ' ‘- \ h!'. ‘ 5 ■ ' f.

No doubt there are hundreds of drunk ards who aro now wallowing in our gutters, de spised by every ono, who first acquired their desire for Bpirltops .hqnors,' from a practice of smoking. Let-people think of this, —let parents, especially, ponder it, and they will seothe propriety of forbidding their children to leave the practice of chewing and-.smoking tobacco, In their early days, a practice w& are sorry to say, is in many instances allowed, and oven encouraged by them- • •/. -» A more filthy and disgusting practice than that of chewing and smoking-tobacco, doerf not prevail. Passing along the streets of our large dies we . frequently see. ragged boys, from twelve to fifteen years of ago* aping to be men, with a largo common cigar protrudiog from their months, who smoke aud spit and swear with os much ease and grace ns though they h\d graduated in these practices. Such sights dis gust every sensible man. But we will turn our attention to another class,, tliq adult; oue who has arrived at tho perfection of his reason, and one, from whom wo ought to expect better things. 110 probably ac quired the habit of chewing when a boy; and he is now a* perfect- slave to the practice; •he is an inveterate tobacco chewer. From the long continued action of this poisonous artiolo upon his constitution, his eye has become dull, his cheeks contracted, , his chin, nose and cheek bones prominent,-his forehead wrinkled, his face pallid and yellowish, bis frame diminished, and his intellect blunted. Ilia former activity of mind and body aro no more to bo seen, whilst his earty goodness of heart and mildness of dis* position have lost in him their charms. Witness him in a well famished hoaso seated among a group of ladies. .Wo find him with a quid of tobacco in his month, which he revolves now and then from side to side, to give vent to a mouthful of yellowish and disgnsting spittle, offensive alike to the eye aud the nostrils; his breath is loaded with poisonous vapors which prove sickening to those around him; and his teeth and lips, and perhaps his shirt bosom are stained with the juloo of the pernicious weed. By abd by the carpet, -perhaps the furniture, tlio rug, the grate, or the stove and the spittoon give evidence of his presence in being covered with the filthy effusion of his mouth. Does not this look disgusting ? Is not the praotico of chewing both a filthy and disgusting one ? Cannot some means be continued to remedy the evil ? It has already been stated thatiobacco is a direct poisonous agent, prostrating the vital powers and weakening the constitution Of him who is addic ted to its uso; but the injurious effects of to bacco is not limited to its prostrating effects. Other and secondary consequences attending its use prove equally detrimental^ The saline of the mouth U indispensable for tbo perfect digestion of oar food ; certain arti cles indeed cannot be digested without it. This is especially the case with sabstanceseontaining gam, sugar and starch, and this comprises the most of vegetables. Since vegetables form tho three-fourths of our' food, and since a copious supply of hsilthy saliva is absolutely necessary for their digestion, it is clear that whatever is capable of diminishing the quantity or injnring the properties of this important tlaid, must tend to the curtailment of digestion, and consequent ly to the production of that much dreaded and most loathsome disease Dyspepsia and its kin dred ailments. The chewing and smoking of tobacco causes a constant flow and waste of this fluid, by which, in course of time, Us qualties become deteriora ted, ami its quantity diminished. This deteriora tion and diminution of saliva must of course, os ! has already been explained, retard digestion and favor the production of a disease which renders the person afflicted with it the most-unhappy of mortals. Thousands of persons in the commit* nity arc laboring under Dyspepsia, Neuralgia, &c., from this cause, and these same persons can hardly be prevailed on to give up the use of the weed. In Prance, where tobacco is but moder atelyjased, compared with England and the United States, Dyspepsia is comparatively & rare affec tion. I cannot dwell on this subject much longer, time and the patience of my readers will not permit In summing up the conclusions to which we arrived, we may remark that tko popular em ployment of tobacoo in almost any form or way, is a waste of time, a waste of money, a waste of body, a waste of strength, a waste of spirits and a waste of intellect A temporary pleasurable sensation and the gratification pfLjm inordinate and diseased appetite are the Only betretits rived from its use. Ignorance; perance, starvation and death frequently follow in tbo wake of its employment' Should not these startling facts be a lesson to tobacco era ?

To the Editors of the Morning Post Gkntlemeh— Vour paper of lost Saturday, ns well as other papers of this city, allude to and assert, that Deputy Flour Inspec tor, is also Deputy Sealer of Weights and Meas* urea, particularly the American, when in fact Mr. Biddle was perfectly aware of the falsity of his assertion. Major D. Lynch having been ap pointed Scaler of Weights and Measures, on the 29th January, by the Governor; and at that time being in Harrisburg, and having been informed that Mr. Biddle hod his agents scouring the city and county with all passible despatch, that he might realize the most from his office, before Maj. Lyuch would receivo tho instruments of said office, and to prevent any further action of Mr- Biddle, in on official cap&oity, Mr. L. sent his commission with an order, or ppwer of attorney, with Mr. Staplcford, (who was about leaving Harrisburg for home,) to receive such things os are connected with said office, and keep them securely till Mr. L. would arrive in Pittsburgh. All acts of Mr. Biddle since the appointment are illegal, his term of office expiring on the ap pointment of another. T. S. V.
