Timely Suggestion'. —Next year is the regu- i
lar census year* It is important that the sta
tistics of the population and resources should
he as accurate as possible. Our people give
too little attention to the character of the infor
mation they furnish the census taker. *ln view
of the indifference bo generally shown to his
labors, a Southern editor who was employed on
the census returns of 1850 thus appeals to his
farming readers,. The appeal is all the more
important since, if the doty pointed out is
neglected now, it can hardly be accurately done
hereafter;
“Now, what we suggest is, that each farmer,
this faU, as he gathers his crops, shall keep
li.ke an accurate account of the quan
tity and value of the same; and, if he will
take the trouble, to make out a statement of
the names and ages of his family; the number
of acres of land, cleared and timbered ; the
number and ages of his servants ; the number
and value of his horses and mules ; the number
of bales of cotton, barels of corn, bushels of
wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, &a.. and the
value of each, and leave U in some place where
any member of the family who may be at home
when the Deputy Marshal-slmll call, can readi
ly get hold of it, it will save time to all concer
ned, and very greatly assist to make the census
returns complete and satisfactory.”
The Eatixg op Fruit.—- -The use of fruit in
not understood by x many of our people. Some
have great prejudice against it during the sum
mer and autumnal months ; others observe no
rule in regard to tho time of eating it, or the
quanlty which may be taken with safety. The
prejudice of the former most likely grow out
of the neglect of ordinary prudence by those
who use it without any regard to time, quanity
or state. Improperly used or eaten, when in
an unfit state, it ia productive of many diseases
pccular to the summer months, but undoubted
ly a proper use js conductive to health and
preventive of disease. No general rule can be
given for the eating of fruit—except that it
should always be of a sound and wholesome
quality. Every person must judge of the
quantity and the kind of fruit and vegeta
bles best suited to their constitutions. “What
is one man’s meat is another’s poison.” Three
or four largo apples would induce cholera mor
bus in some, while it would be beneficial to
others. Experience is always the best guide—r
you can take with safety everything agreeable
to the system, as well in dog-days as in mid
winter. The great secret is to know when to
stop. Excessive eating—stuffing, overloading
the stomach—brings on disease and often pro
duces death.
Scorbutic diseases, are the parent stock from
which arises a large proportion of the fatal
maladies that afflict mankind.—They are as
it were a species of of potato r.ot in the human
constitution, which undermines and corrupts
all the sources of its vitality and hastens its :
deeav. They are the germ from which springs,
Consumption, Rhumatism, Heart Disease, Liv
er Complaints, and Eruptive Diseases which
will be recognized as among those most fatal
and destructive to the races of men.—So dread
ful are its consequences to human life, that it
is hardly possible to over estimate the impor
tance of an actual, reliable remedy, that can
sweep out this Scrofulous contamination. We
know then we shall proclaim welcome news to
our readers, of one from such a quarter as will
leave little doubt of its efficacy—and still more
welcome, when we tell them that it sorely
does accomplish the end desired. We mean
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and it is certainly wor
thy the attention of those who are afflicted
with-Scmfitta or Scrofulous complaints.—Reg

The Newspaper Press. —Men dislike to
praise the Newspaper Press ,or acknowledge
its power. Many habitually deny its influence,
and as constantly court its favor and its encour
agement. It has made more reputatlons for
public men, more fortunes in business, and
more professional characters for individuals,
than have been made otherwise by ability,
energy and skill. It is a great beneficiary for
politicans, their main reliance, and their only
means of acquiring public notoriety. It is the
ordinance department for polties—the arsenal
nnd magazine from which small minds draw
their weapons and ammunition for politcal
warfare. It furnishes them with all their da
ta, analyzes their subject, draws their con
clusions, and confers upon them the distinction
of ostensible authorship. It is, with its thous
ands of editors, still an impersonality. The
press speaks; we listen to it, not as the organ
of one but the impersonal organ of many.
It is assailed by dwarfs and struts, who often
affect to treat it; with disdain, to the infinite
delight of its laborers and conductors.
The following paragraph from the Utica Oh
serrer, demonstrates to business men the advan
tages of advertising:
It ia often the case that men come into our
office and inquire for the papers published at
such a place, saying they would like to find
somebody's advertisement. They sit down and
look the papers over, and it is often the ca«o
that they are unable to find the desired infor
mation. Not long since a gentleman was look
ing for the names and address of an Albany
firm to which he desired to make a consign
ment, but not finding it he made the remark
that he would ship to a firm he was well ac
quainted with, but not liking their reputation,
he desired to deal with the other firm. This is
but one of many instances, and proves con
clusively that business men should advertise,
if ’tie nothing more than their business cards.

Temperance in Wellshoro.
As the late Temperance Movement in our
Borough has excited general interest through
out our County, we bare been requested by a
correspondent to give a short sketch of the
means by which it was brought about. We
shall be glad indeed if any other Township or
Borough in the County shall be assisted by this
bit of history to a determined and energetic
effort in the same direction; and we trust that
the friends of the Temperance Cause in the
different sections shall organize at once and go
to work.
On the evening of the 18th of June last, a
meeting was held in this town the object of
which was to reorganize the Division of the
Sons of Temperance. The few who met to
gether, (and there were very few) appointed the
necessary committees to make due arrange
ments. These met with many difficulties.—
There was a public apathy on the Temperance
question which its friends found impossible to
dispel. There was also a want of confidence
in the organization of a society under the Order
of the Sons, for reasons which it is needless
to explain. In consequence of these and other
draw-backs, the project of starting a Division
was temporarily abandoned.
On Sunday, the 17th of July, Rev. J. F.
Calkins announced at the morning service in
Presbyterian Church that Mr. Wm. E. Dodge
of New York would address a meeting on that
evening at the same place on the subject of
Temperance. The well known character of
the speaker attracted a very large audience.
The address of Mr. Dodge was an earnest appeal
to the friends of religion, sobriety and good
order, to rescue our beautiful village from the
terrible influences of the rum-traffic upon its
citizens. The sad effects of Intemperance were
illustrated by facts which had fallen under the
speaker’s own observation, and these doubtless
suggested to every man and woman present, ns
they, did to us, cases of a similar character. At
the close of the address, Mr. Calkins announced
that a meeting would be held at the same place
on the following Wednesday evening, July2oth.
At this meeting, Dr. Webb was called to pre
side, and Mr. C. G. Williams of the Democrat ,
and the editor of this paper wore chosen secre
taries. It was a kind of conference meeting
in which many of our best citizens took part,
and short and earnest speeches were made by
Messrs. Calkins, Webb, Ensworth, Osgood, H.
W. Williams and Emery—all, with the excep
tion of Mr. Emeiy, expressing their belief (hat
the time had come when something ought to be
done to stay the evils of intemperance so man
ifest in our village. At this meeting two Com
mittees were appointed, one to make arrange
ments for future meetings and another to sug
gest such modification of the present license
laws ns would best promote the interests of
temperance in this community. This action
was taken with a view to petition the legisla
ture next winter for the paksnge of a special
law for our Borough (and if practicable for the
entire County) embodying these modifications.
On Tuesday evening August 2d, another in
teresting meeting was held at the Presbyterian
Church, which was addressed by Rev. W. S.
Colton of Weatbersfield, Conn., whose services
were secured for the occasion. On the 9th of
August Dr. Webb and others addressed the
meeting and the interest thus far seemed in
creasing. At this meeting the committee pre
viously appointed to examine the license laws
and report what modifications thereof ought to
be attempted, submitted the following Resolu
tions :
That such & modification of the existing
license laws is needed os would take the power of
granting licenses to Groceries and Restaurants from
the County Treasurer and place it in the bands of the
Court of Common Pleas to be exercised in the same
name and upon the same conditions, a s the power to
license Inns and Taverns.
Jteivlced, Tb&t we deem it advisable to petition the
Legislature during the coming session for the passage
of « probibitary law for the County of Tioga.
These resolutions were discussed on that
evening and on every evening since then, and
the further consideration of them was post
poned from time to time. On the 23d of Au
gust, Josiab Emery discussed the second Reso
lution taking the negative of the question in
volved, and the further consideration of it was
postponed till meeting.
Meantime another movement in the Tern*
perance cause was made in a different direction.
It had become quite evident that a large ma
jority of those engaged in the "meetings above
mentioned, were in favor of the legal sapprci-

sion of the traffic, and Were determined to di
rect ail their labors to that end. The history
of the “Moral Suasion Movement” as it has
been called, may be given in the words of the
Democrat :
“Pursuant to notice given to that portion of
our citizens who have not been actively identi
fied with the recent Temperance movement in
this place, a meeting was held at Boy’s Hall
on Monday evening. It was called to order by
C. G. Williams,.who nominated. 5.. E.. Wilson,
Esq., as Chairman. A. S. Brewwster and, 1..
I). Taylor were chosen Tice Presidents; and A.
J. Sofield and C. G. Williams elected Secreta
ries. The Chairman returned his the nks to the
meeting for the honor conferred upon him, and
in concluding bis remarks, stated tb > object of;
the meeting to be the formation of i Temper
ance Society. Plans for organization were then
submitted, and after some discussion the fol
lowing Platform, offered by C. 6. Williams,
was unanimously agreed to.-
Whereat, It is the prerogative of freeman to hold,
express, and act in accordance with their independent
opinions upon all subjects, and especially so upon sub
jects involving tbe common weal; and irhercat, ire
firmly believe the power of Moral Suasion as an rnstru
mentof reform is too mtich lost sigbt of bj those who,
in their zeal for the cause of temperance, look mainly
to coercion by means of the enactment if stringent
laws; therefore,
Retolved, That wo form ourselves into tn Associa
tion, to be called the Reform Club, the object of which
shall bo to test tbe strength of moral a lasion as a
means of reform: and to this end we pledge our indi
vidual and united influence to constrain jur friends
and neighbors to abstain entirely from tbs use of al
coholic drinks.
Resolced, That, believing example should always
accompany precept, we hereby pledge ourselves to ab
stain from the use of malt or spirituous liquors, wine
or cider, as a beverage. j

“An Association being thus formed, it was
agreed to hold regular meetings, at which none
but members, or those desiring to become mem

F. Wilson, and A. J. Sofield were appointed a
committee to report a Constitution and By-Laws
for the Association, at its next meeting. The
Club then resolved itself into a Committee of
the Whole, to make personal to those
who are outside of other* temperance Jorganizn
tions, to be present at the next meeting, and
connect themselves with the After
which, the meeting adjourned one we£k.”
The organization thus effected, has been faith
fully sustained, and the meetings have been at
tended with much interest. New nakies have
been added to the list every week, aiid at the
meeting on Monday evening last, several gen
tlemen from other parts of the county joined
the society. A few have broken the pledge as
was to be expected; but it isjbelieved that the
great majority of those who put their names to
the pledge will stand to it like men, determined
as we know many of them to be, to free them
selves from this curse. All honor to i hose who
stand faithful. And it seems to us almost self
evident that those who abandon ibis obligation
need the coercive suasion deprecated in the
above preamble. However, a short time will
tell which of the suasions is the better, for if
the moral kind fail in our community], we must
have the legal method tried also.
Wecannofcclu.se this article without advert
ing to the healthful influence already exerted
by this temperance movement. Whatever may
be said to the contrary, we know that WeVU
boro to-day is a great improvement upon Wells
boro a month ago. Drunkenness is seldom seen
in our streets, and rowdyism and disorderly
conduct have entirely vanished from qur midst.
BS'We bad supposed that Mr. Henry Sher
wood and Mr. John W. Ryon were sile propri
etors of Forney-Douglasism in and for the
County of Tioga. We had thought that when
Douglas received the nomination at Charleston
(a contingency which from present appearances
is not very likely to occur) these gentlemen
would form the pillars for the triumphal arch
through which the legions of the faithful in
this county would walk to battle in 18(30. And
we had thought, too, (how stupid to think so I)
that the ides of last March had effectually stran
gled any show of independent thought or action
other than at the bidding of “Dr. jj B.” and
had entirety settled the political hash of the
two gentlemen “first aforesaid.” But we are
all liable to err, and ns Seth Pecksniff truly
said, “the best of us are but humaLl” For
our part we acknowledge our These
gentlemen did not enjoy the pleasurd of being
Douglasites “all alone in their glory,f* and we
will now tell you how we happen to know.
Last Saturday was the day set apa rt in the
Democratic calender for the election of dele
gates to the County Convention to be held at
this place next week. C. G. Williacus Esq.,
and Mr. H. A. Guernsey were announced as
candidates for delegates from this !3orougb,
but os these gentlemen were supposed! to favor
the adoption of Buchanan resolutions in the
approaching Convention, opposition delegates
were announced, and for a couple of hours the
“combat deepened” and the brave of both fac
tions fought nobly and well. And jilthough
“the battle is not always for the strong nor the
race for the swift/' yet in this instance the
strong and the swift, were victorious, jand £fr.
Julius Sherwood and Mr. Thos, B. Bryden, the
Douglas delegates were defeated by a majority
of fifteen. In a fight in which we are in no wise
interested, our sympathies are always With the
weaker party. We go in for “the under dog
in the fight,” always. Let it be known, then,
that there are in this Borough no less than
twelve Douglas Democrats! It is hardly neces
sary to add that the Convention next waek will
swallow “Dr. J, B,” and the acts of hi* admin
istration, Lecompton and all.

FIIQM THE PEOPLE.
Mr. Young; Xu your issue of August 18th,'
under the “People’s” bead, I saw a very good
article from “Frank,” headed “Is party spirit
consonant with Freedom?” in which he re
marks “a fair and honest party spirit, in which
men express their cherished convictions, is both
right and expedient.” Now, surely this is right;
but when Frank farther says “This position
maybe disputed,” then I, as one of the people
beg leave to dissent. Party spirit is, and ever
has been an essential to all general progress
amongst men, and that man is a progressive
being will hardly admit of dispute. Then “fair
and honest party spirit in which men express
their cherished Convictions” is both right and
expedient in eliciting the truth, in all questions,
whether politically, financially, philosophically,
morally or religiously considered; Frank con
cedes too much to interested scepticism, when
be says it may be disputed, i. e., upon any just
ground for dispute. I wish to awaken inquiry
in all minds upon this question and upon all
the questions which may arise from the inves
tigation of it.
Let us see; Ido not say that a party which
may arise from the exigencies of any case, is
to be, per se, eternally the party for a progres
sive people; for the necessity which called it
into being may be obviated or removed. Then,
as we are not yet perfect, another arising evil is
to be crushed or another desideratum to be
gainbd, through effort, (I speak now of men
collectively,) will the principles of the old
party which was raised to obviate another evil,
answer the people’s purpose to correct this
evil ? If so, then go ahead ! But the proba
bility is against this assumption. Frank ! s
citation of Greece is a case in point. When
the seven states of Greece formed a party for a
specific purpose,'that party could laugh at Xer
xes though backed by bis countless legions.—
But when through the management of the King
of Macedon that party was sundered before
public safety, for the protection of which it was
formed was fully secured, see how she was
bagged as game by Rome. And on the other
band too, we may see that when a party has
fully achieved the legitimate object of its for
mation, it is folly to be carrying party sacks
into another war, with another enemy and that
for another object than the former. Why.
Moslemistn was an improvement upon Atheism.
But do we think it desirable at this time of the
world ? Xo, and Mohammed would hardly
rank as an equal to some of the reformers who
have subsequently flourished, Judaism was
right and proper for its recipients, at the time
it was given the Jews by its author, through
Moses. But did it do for them always ? Xo 1
for when the object of its giving and adoption
was attained and the law of human progress
had brought the Jews to the point beyond which
the old law (which was given for the improve
ment of an ignorant people who had been op
pressed through some four centuries of hard
servitude) was not proper fqr their farther ob
servance in their then advanced state; I say no
sooner than they outlived the proper' uses of
the old law, than we hear from its author, by
the mouth of his prophet, the then startling
announcement; “Your new moons anil your
“ sacrifices I cannot away with : The time has
“ come when he who offers sacrifice, is as though
“he cut off a dog’s neck; and when he offers
“ a ram as though he offered swine’s blood:
“ and when he performs oblation as though he
“ blessed an Idol: It is abomination unto me ;
“ even the solemn meeting.” These facts need
less comment than reflection. We may see that
it is generally so in a philosophical point of
view.
When old Gallileo had, under the stress of
persecution, to publicly renounce the truth of
his theory of diurnal revolution, (since fully
confirmed by Copernicus, Xewton and others,)
it was because the world of man had not suffi
ciently advenced to give him the prestige of a
party numerous enough to support his truth.—
Mankind are getting a little cunning; but as
human nature (as such) is about the same as it
ever was, so aspirants are as rapacious now as
ever. Religious aspirants have come to see that
Christianity is about the right thing. So they
raise a party, or sect, a little in advance of some
other party or sect, and when the advantages
of their party have become apparent, some oth
er reformer raises another party, thus obviating
some of the errors of the other. For, as “to
err is human,” so no human institution can be
perfect for all time. So also in a political sense,
men have come to think that, Democracy is
about the right thing, ‘Well, as tit religion, the
question will arise, “What is Christianity?”
so also in politics, “What is Democracy ?”
Frank accords its paternity to Jefferson, with
his slavery restriction doctrine. But does the
repeal of the Missouri .Compromise, Lecomp
ton, Dred Scott, Territorial Slave Laws, Steal
ing of Cuba, and the re-opening of the African
Slave Trade, necessarily attach to Jeffersonian
Democracy ?—or Jeffersonian Democracy to
these ?
Here I fear that Frank and I trill hare to
take issue—as also when he styles the slare
ocracy of to-day, the “progressive party." Are
all the above cardinal tenets of the now self
styled “Democracy” to he traced back down the
way of upward progress to our venerable sla
very restrictive Jefferson?—who was a states
man inn-dvance of his time ? Pshaw! we might
as well talk of 1834 "VYhiggery. The fact is, a
church member is just as good, and entitled to
as much credit and respect, (if he he a Christ
ian) whether he ceceded from Buddhism, or
Moslomism, or Judaism, as though he were a
“member born,” or entered the “Party" from
high life, or the ranks of backwood yeomanry.
I know that some are a little tender on that
score ; and in view of the good to result from
a combined action of freemen, I would in all
humility suggest to friends—would it not be
well to drop little personal rancours or preju-
dices against old names or parties, and meet in
good feeling with all friends—both old and new,
%ho are brought together by a common princi
ple for a specific purpose—and that purpose the
greatest possible good to our race ? I suppose
we all have faults, which are, perhaps, less ap
parent to ourselves than to scrutinists. So in
the spirit of charity, all reformers should leave
alone the “bricks," and meet as friendly men
—bighmlnded men, “who know their rights,
and knowing, dare maintain them.
