JAMES BUCHANAN,
OP PENNSYLVANIA}
EitbjCtt to. decision oj the. Democratic Genera! Convention
'TOR'VICE PRESIDENT:
WILLIAM R. KING,
OF ALABAMA;
Subject to the tame, decision.
; We are indebted to our representative,
Sir. Appleton, foe various Legislative favors^
v 'ibc HI *n Hour.
v: Those journals--.'lnch tube their cue from the
■National fnlelhgencer, and endeavor to show that
n revolution in Enrope to establish republican
- . governments upon the ruins of existing monar-.
chies, is an undertaking too stupendous to be
carried on by the undisciplined masses, surely
shut their eyes to the examples of history, as
they close.their.ears,to those,portentous voices
in the air which prophecy the" downfall of des
■: pptism. Is the lull in France, and indeed, of
i the.whole continent, the quietude of content
ment? or, is it the paralysis of fear? We an
., ■ swer it-is neither the one or the other: iltsthe
eUßnesi which jnrcccda the hurricane 1 Tho moral
atmosphere is thick and'close and suffocating;
and the whole horizon is lined with dark omin
.ous clouds, from which the eye of the lightning
is -glancing over the field of its future operations.
' 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.
"When Moses- saw the Egyptian smiting and op*
.pressing one of his Hebrew brethren, he slew
vhim. tVe do not find that act condemned ; but,
on the contrary, it led the way to those patriot ■
-ic deeds which rescued his peoplo from bondage,
. and brought them in triumph to the land of
their fathers. Moses was a revolutionist. He
did not fear to strike when oppression became
-. oatrageous. And when wefind in the nineteenth
. centurjbabsolulism gathering together its power,
and concentrating its energies to destroy every
. - vestige of human freedom in tho Old World,
-have we no duty to perform ? We have. It is
. that wo should assist tho wonderful man- who lias
recently been with us, and lend him such mate
rial aid as will effect through his agency the
overthrow of despotism. God works not now
by mi.-acles; bnt Ho gives superhuman power
to human arms when brave hearts nerve them
to strike for liberty. In the olden time lie arm
ed the wind to open a passage in the Red Sea,
u ——who«e waves o'erUirew ..
Basins and bis Monipbiau Chivalry; ”
but now be fights his battles with the moral and
physical powers which He has given to mau.—
Who cannot recognize in the sublime eloquence
of Kosscrn, which is arousing the slumbering
powers of humanity, tha trumpet tones which
will gather the peoples to their last battle ? As
the monarch of old Egypt trembled in the pres-
ence of Moses, so do the autocrats of oppressod
Europe tremblo at tbc moral influence of the
poor exile now upon our shores, who is prepar-
ing himself for the work which is assigned to
him to perform. Let us aid him that when tho
Horn comes the Mas may be ready for tho Houa
Slolrnfeas In Heir Lisbon, Olilo.
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.
Another Railroad Completed.
We learn from the Zanesville Courier that the
portion of the Railway between that city and
Newark is now completed, and regular trains
commenced running on the 22d inst, leaving
Zanesville at 8.15 o’clock A. M., and Newark at
" 5 o'clock P. M. On 25tli inst., tho coaches were
withdrawn' from the national road, between
Zanesville and Jackson, when another train com
menced Tunning each way, in connection with
the mail coaches, os follows:
Morning Train.
Leaves Newark at 4,45 o’clock A. M.
Returning, leaves Zanesville at 8:15 A. hr.
Evening Train,
. Leaves Newark at'S o’clock, P. M.
,Returning, leaves Zanesville atB P. M.
There is- now a continuous Railroad from
Zanesville, through Newark, Mt. Vernon, and
Mansfield, to Sandußky City, on Lake Erie.
KESiaSA’HON*
We learn that Elwood Moebis,. Esq,, has re_
signed his post on the Chariiers Railroad, and
. goes . west immediately, to take charge of' the
Railroad surveys between Cincinnati and Park
ersburg, on the Ohio Extension of tho Baltimore

Gov. Kossnth at Columbus, Ohio
The following interesting particulars we clip
from the Cleveland True Democrat, of Saturday:
Tho city of Columbus, Thursday and Friday,
was crowded. The flags of tho United States
and Hungary floated in the streets. At the close
of Kossuth’s address, to some ten thousand per
sons, Judge Spalding gave notice that a meeting
would bo held that evening, at the City. Hall, to
form ft State Association.
Tho City Hall was orowded to overflowing
“ a regular jam.” The Committee of tho People
had met and appointed a committee of- two
. Judge Spalding and Gen. Bierce, to draft a Con
stitution for the State Hungarian Association.
Judge Spalding reported it, and it was adopted
by acclamation.
The officers are: Reuben Wood, President-
Hon. William Medill, Vico President. Wo omit
the other officers.
While the qnostion was peading on the Consti
tution, Gen. Bierce moved to amend the fourth
section, providing for coanty associations report
ing tho amount of funds in their bands, by in
serting tho words, arms and munitions of war.
The motion was carried with a yell. The Gen

it Gen. Bierce was received with three times

Tobacco, its Uses and Abuses. -
Br A MEMBER OP IJIE LITERARY 1
At this y*e|tobaccp iSitjnl\iTSted : 4h aifferont'
partß of tbe;worW, especially ihtotfittjuml flnif

more extensively carried.on than in tho'South
era States of. the ,American Union. 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.

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 ? Cannot they bo induced ter give up a prae*
tice that is injurious to both body ahd soul, thatj
is wrong in the sight of both Godoiid man ? Lctl
me entreat them to revolutionize strengthen!
their minds in this respect, their time
and money hereafter to hfrttcntccoant.
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.
