Why "Was It.
As soniosort of salvo for their wounds
in the late great defeat nt the polls, the
Abolitionists first applied "tbo absence of
the soldier vote," But that would not
do. Indeed, they have conio to find, that
if the soldiers had been nt homo it would
have only added to the depth and breath
and soreness of their wounds. So they
now nearly all simmer down to this;
that it is becauso of tbo impatience, of
1,10 Peolllc at ,l10 low progress and bad
m - B - i..ont of the wai. If the war h.is

that thoso who voted for tho Democratic

they will feel sure that a majority of tho

ever, as wo believe, lias stoutly opposed
every war Ill0(i:.nro. Ho also delivered a
lengthy speech before tho IIouso miror r
)CUCC) aw pointing out the road to such a
consummation.
With such a record, Mr. Wood wont
beforo his constituents' .liking their en
dorsement, and has been ro-clcctcd. Tho
district which he represents has given a
Republican, or ami-Democratic majority
in past years. This fact, coupled with tho-
tact that Mr. Wood s opponent was lion.
Hiram Wnlbridgc, a man who has up to
the present time pretended to belong to tbo
Dcmocratio party, renders bis success a
little remarkable. Iu thc first place, they
knew that Mr. Walbridgo would get tho
ontiro Aboliticn vote, and the fact that he
ran as a war Democrat, would render it
probable that he I'ould command tho sup
port of tho war Democrats. onsecquently
we may certainly take it for granted that
tha entire war vote Democratic aud Abo
litioniit was cast for Walbridgo, aud wo
have tho fact tturmg us in the face that
Mr. Wood s election is a verdict by thc
citizens of his district in opposition to tho
war and iu favor of pcaco 1 Varbon Dem
ocrat. ?Dr. llobert Hunter, of 832 Droad
way N Y. in a letter on throat diseases,
their cause aud cure, says of diptheria :
When once contracted, diptheria is
communicable thrnugh thc breath uud air
from the person affected to those iu health.
The specific poison on which tho disease
depends is carried into tho blood by thc
rcpiration of the pobonod air. Thc
strong and the weak aro equally exposed
to it, but it is ouly those whoso bodily vig
or has been reduced by previous irritation
of the throat, or other cau-e, that fall a
prcv to it.
Such being thc origin and the causo of
diptheria, it follows that the treatment
must bo both local and constitutional effect
its cure. It must bo local to act upon thc
throat aud .stay the destructive ulceration;

only antidote yet discovered is protoxide
of nitrogen, a gas, which can only bo ad

gas for fifteen minutes After tho lapse of
an hour I repeat tho protoxide inhalation,
aud follow it by one of chlorine vapor.
Two or three applications are sufficient to
arrest the disease aud restore tho blood to
its purity. The protoxide deprives tho
blood of its impurity, while tho antiseptic

great distress among tho settlers all along

rOJf-Thc claims of the Abolitionists to
all the patriotism and all the loyally
remind us very much of lbs old tory of
the coon and the skunk. An old coou
took a journey ono night in sea.ch of
provender and when ho returned Iks
found his hole occupied by a strange
looking customer. Tho coon asked him,
"who are you 1" His visitor it pic
"why, I'm a coon." ''Well," said tho
old coon, "you don't look like a con i,
you dont act liko a coon and you don't
smell like a coon."
So with tho Abolitionists. They
neither look, act, nor smell like genuine
patriots.
