A prescription had been furniaiied him by a physician, but ho did not follow ils direction, or take the remedies prescribed. No one fav am) jn September acted aa Vice President of a Two Volumea ol Blunders. Thoae who attended the wauianf the Senolc, last winter, will not fuil to recolU that for days, and week, the great and fruitful subject of Locofoco declamation and denunciation wni the beauty and cot with which the volumes of public document had been executed hy Mr. Scott, a slate printer, ami prepared for public use. The elegance of tho typography, the taste of the arrangement, Hie breadth of the margin, Iho width of the spaces, all came in, a items adding to the cost" taken out of the pockets of the people" and Dimmocks, and Myre', and Whitman',' and Emrie's great friend of the people ; and the Statesman wept and bewailed over the breadth of the spaces and margins, and counted the cost, and denounced the disregard with which the public money had been squandered, and made IheniHelves to appear to their admiring friends as tremendous patriots and lynx eyed guardians of the public Ireatmry. Locofoeoism has had its day, and its opportunity to make up a portion of the public documents alter its own model. In order thut there should be no mistake, the printing was placed in the hands of one whose politic were undoubted the proprietor of the States-mm. The printing concern beautifully represented the coalition under which tho contract of tho State was set aside. Free Democracy acted as editor, Locofoeoism elaborated the product. The offspring is not the first perhaps it is not the worst monster that has sprung from the same parentage ; but never, we venture to ay, lias the work of the State been more unfaithfully more blunderingly more dishonestly performed. Wo sro not able to inform the public when it will have the opportunity to examine this monument of coalition wisdom, skill and faithfulness. Locofoco Nominations In Delaware County. The Locolocos of Delaware county, at their convention, hulden on Saturday week, made choice as their candidate for representative, of Haiitoh Whip rLK,of Peru. His said that the proceedings of the convention were not characterin-d by perfect harmony, nud that the nomiunlion failed to give general satis faction. Mr. Whipple voted for Mr. Van lluren last knew of his taking medicine tit all. All that is known in that respect, is, that a viul containing a lew drops ol patent medicine called "the pain killer" wns found in his possession. He had complained of a slight clm-lic, but eat supper in the afternoon, and retired to bed. About nine o'cl'ick he was tound, evidently laboring under the effects "f some narcotic poison. The must prompt remedies were immediately resorted to, without effect When medical aid arrived, his pulse were very feeble, and at 1 10 pur minute. The physicians did not cease their efforts uulil life wasexlinct, at half past 12 o'clock. Every attention was afforded by the Warden and hia family, but all was unavailing. At. ah or Ft nr.. There waa an alarm of fire, this morning, which resulted in a general airing of the engines and fire machinery of the city, without rendering their employment necessary. The fire occured in the extensive factory of 1. Hayden, Eq., and was extinguished by Hie hands, without any very serious dam ago. Is the Mission of the Whiffs of Ohio ondod 1 Samuel Lewis, a Well known Abolitionist of Ohio, writing to the editor of the National Era, says : " We must care nothing for either of the old parties. Their mission is ended." And is it true that all that is left to the Whigs of Otiio is to be Anti Slavery men, rind nothing else? Is there no other public interest worthy of a thought no other doctrine or principle, demanding either assent or dissent, by Hie sons of tree sires, upon whom lins fallen the doty to purpeluate the institutions of republicanism that have been transmitted to them? There is no truth in such an assertion. It could only have come from the heated brain of a fanatic and a singularly constituted fanatic nt that. Is there then no difference between harmony and anarchy between the predominance of a constitution, al government, and the supremacy of riots and mobs r Is there no difference between the parly which labors to perpetuate, and that which strives tooverthrow nur form of government, and the institutions which are ils offspring ? Is there no difference between a rapid ac cumulation and a rapid liquidation of our state debt? Is there no difference between a sound currency, based upon our own capital affording a profit to our own capitalists benefit to those of our citizens who need to avail themselves of the assistance of credit paying a revenue to our slate, and circulating at home, and a currency cntmug from abroad, all of whose profits and benefits aearue to other stales and communities ? Is there no difference between bankruptcy and sol. Teiiry, between truth and falsehood, between disgrace and honor, between public peace and intestine com-m lion, between sound and stable legislation and the vaiu d'-sires of a mob, between public officers whose glory it is In serve the State in honor and faithfulness, sud uoisy demagogues who go through the country preaching of bloodhed and bayonets? And what right has any citizen to emasculate him self of every principle save one, and devote himself In that 111 abandonment of all others ? None. There is id warrant (or such an act none in reason or inspirationno precedent in liitory, no rule in ethics to justify it. Does the abolitionist believe that all that is necessary for the safely, peace and prosperity of the Hi ale, is tu fiijht with the South upon the subject of negro slavery ? That warfare may be a just one and a holy ; but are there not other just causes, other valuable interests other things that claim the consideration of the citizen, the patriot, the christian ? While men render unto the Creator of the world, the things which belong tu him, and yirld to suffering humanity those exertions which are its due, we are taught in holy writ not tu b unmindful of other civil dudes which men who receive the protection nf government owe in consideration of aueh guardianship. The mission of the Whigs of Olii is not ended- There is not a man of Whig belief in the ttulc, that has any right to think so. The duty which the citi ten owes to the government that extends its arms of; protection around linn, cannot be humVd off or laid aside at will. The freeman of Ohio is a partner of a great body poll lie and corporate, whose Block he can not dispose of 111 whose wealth, honor, glory and prosperity he has an interest, and for which he is to the full extent of his ability responsible. He can not abandon those interests without a crune ; he can' not treat them as frivolous without I lie guilt of a prao deal falsehood. Tltey are his, whether he will or 110 his wiiMKin in their behalf commenced with his built that misswn can only terminate with hi life. ! To lei a Whig of the Stale of Ohio In tell any Wilis of the Stale, that he has no political duty to perform but tu serve in the ranks of Abolition, is to tell him a falsehood. There is no function of government In which ho has not in interest. There is no proposition affecting the policy of either the Smte or the general government, that does not present a question for him to entertain, study, and act upon. And it is his duty, not merely to act, but to attach himself to such an nrgninsaiin as shall give elllciency and force to Ins aoliun such elllciency and force as shall best Conduce to the suncessof the principle. Tin re was a time when an Ohio Whig could act efficiently upon the question ol Slavery, without ceasing to bo either a Whig or a citizen. Then came the tune f r change. Men were told, and many believed, that in order to give greater efficiency to Anti-Uvery action, they imnt fomako every other principle, and Imld it for nought. The experiment was tried, and a signal failure was the consequence. When men forgot their citizenship, they lostlheir efficiency. When they became members nf an Anti-Slavery pnrty they unnationalited themselves, and became powerless up on all national questions. That result is now perfect ly visible, in the rapid disintegration and decay of the lliiffiln, and all other sectional organizations. There I is but one State in the Union where a sectional parly I can exist, and that State is South Cnrolina ; and it is true to a demonstration, that all anti-South Carolina parties will become as frivolous and powerless as the force against which they are arrayed.

Fire In Cleveland St. Paul's Church burned rireninu1 Ktut The splendid new chureli known as St. Paul's, at Cleveland, was 011 Friday night last, set on fire, by an incendiary, and burned to the grouud. The church was incomplete, and had cost about $(i,000, twelve hundred of whirh was insured. The loss of the soci. t'ty is about $:t,ni)0. The lire extended to several ither buildings, occasioning a total loss of about ten thousand dollars. The occasion of this fire was seized upon as an op portunity for a disgraceful quarrel among the firemen of he city, who refused to perforin duly until a largo amount ol'datuage had been done. It appears to have had its origin in the policy ol the city, ol utlenng pro 1111 u ins to companies first at the fire.

Letter from hundusky. Samijuskv, Friday mght, August 3. Editors Ohio State Journal : The enquiry is so general whit may be the produ- cmg causes so terrible a visitation as has marked tins ill-fated place, justice to all interested refiu ires s word or two of explanation justice to the living and the deud. Few places have been more highly favored lliiin Sandusky, for general health. It was one of the last spots where any marked fatality would have been cx peeled from the prevailing epidemic. The locality is indeed remarkable. Founded upon a rock, washed by Ihe waters of one of the fine I intuud bays on the continent, and backed by a country of oak barrens, il appeared as if everything combined lo exempt it from a large share of the local ills that flesh is heir lo. What then is the cause? A simple narrative will explain it : The weekending Saturday, July the Slat, commence the record. The railroad train introduced the first cases. On Friday, its character became pretty decided. Thoie attacked were mostly temperate liv- rs, but of weak constitutional habils they were rap-dly disposed of. On Sunday, it assumed a decided malignant type. Moudny opened darkly. And now nailed a scene which no pen could describe, nor even the imagination conceive. A regulur stampede commenced, timtiau pri'Jtssurs seemeu iu tone tho lead. Friends, family, properly, were alike deserted. On Tuesday, there was a perfect rush for ihe boat up and down. Fifteen hundred per- sons, it is estimated, left town on this and the pre vious evening, ily mid-week, the population had dwindled down one-hall. Imsgiue the consternation the dread! Thu desolate houses the closed shops Ihe stealthy Ireau of those who ventured abroad, unnerved the strongest im death to the irrali. Able-bulled, clear-minded men have assured me, the worst thing they had to contend against waa this feeling uf alter durrtmn by friends and associates, I need not darken the shades tu such a picture. It is a melancholy fact Heaven may pardon, but man cannot f rget that too large a share of the victims of thu destroying pestilence, are chargeable upon lue absent Some have already p issed on to render their ac count. In one small village an ark of safety, it was supposed scarcely one of the refugees, it is reported, lus escaped. What (littering unction the living may lay to their souls, 1 know not. They behove in a Cod, doubtless ihey can scarcely believe ho is omniscient and omnipresent. When tho divine messenger appeared unto David, and presented the three dread alternatives of the word, the famine and the pestilence, tho erring monarch choso the latter. If his people had mined, he was not guiltless. Wilheither of the alternatives, his pemonal safety was guaranteed. He could fight his bailie as Kings and 1'residents are wont to do, by proxy. The royal granaries ensured his own household against famine. Hut the pestilence that " walk-olh in darkness and wasleth at noon-day," spared neither age, sex or condition.

The Commercial Article in yesterday's Statesman, contains a very oiie-sidedjund unjust attack upon the Hanks of Ohio, taken from Ihu July number of Hunt's Merchants' Magazine. Some time since the article id Hie magazirio wus met and answered most conclusively, through our columns, by a gentleman, than whom 110 one is better acquainted with the subject, and with the condition of the bank. We were sutislied on an examination of Mr. Hunt! article, that it wus incorrect in its statements, and untrue in its conclusions ; and the reply, which wus written at our request, i conclusive and triumphant. Thu editor of the Stale, man has, at some times, received accommodations, at the hands of the banks of the stale. Would it be more than an act of justice to lli"n institutions, if, a lie has published one side, he u liquid give the other, of the controversy ? The question of the solvency or insolvency nf a bnuk, is one of trade and uotol politic. The system upon which banks are constructed, or by which they are assessed, may be a legitimate subject for discussion or animadversion ; but the question whether this bank or that bank will redeem its paper, is no more a party matter, than it the inquiry whether this man or that man will pay his debts. If the editor of ihe Stales-man, a the result of some uuforseen change in business or political affairs, chould lind it impossible to meet his paper in the Ctinlon, Ihe City, or the Franklin Hank at maturity, he would feel hard to find I11111-Helf exposed as a bankrupt, and worse still, if lui bankruptcy were cried about the Stale, previously to an election, as a reason f r the overthrow of the Locofoco parly. And if he were struggling with all his might to gain the means to meet Ins paper, and preserve his credit, he would think il still harder, if his chances of success were made a matter ot public discussion, and bandied about, from one party to another, as a reason why vote should be given or relumed. We appeal to the editor of Hie Statesman his own observation and experience. It is not every misfor 'une that originates in a fault ; nor is every bankrupt-;y Ihe result of roguery on the part of the insolvent. Men, as well as banks, have been destroyed by an un-lUitt report against them- duch cries hnvo been raised fur mere party purposes lu gain a few voles. The people have had to foot the bill. In all these patriotic attacks upon Hie solvency of banking institutions, there are two parties that lose, to one tint in 11 lies a doubtful gain. The bank is a loser in its reputation hich is of more value than money whether it deserves il or not. If the bank fails, in consequence of the destruction of its credit, the people come in for thu heaviest loss of all. Tu Locof.icoisin in Ohio, banking lus been like the pins in Hie ball-alley. It sat up a large number, and it bowled (hem down. Having game in view, il pla-ned il" pins upon a narrow base, and the business of knocking over was as easy as that of selling up, It made upon both sides ot Iho game. It was s great friend of Ihe people, anil claimed high rewards for building up ; it waa a stern guardian of popular rights, and demanded great consideration for throwing down. Lonofocoisiu still iilov ic nM I'nme, but the lurk has changed. The puis are constructed anil set up by the Whigs, and refuse to tip oyer with that ease which was so strikingly characteristic of their Locof'u co predeccsanre. Still it keeps bowling away. What is the credit uf a man his solvency ; wtiat ihe credit of a bank what Hie interest of the people, in comparison to the glorious business uf breaking down banks lo gain voles. Foremost in this IniKiness is the Stales-man. Once there was not a bank in the state that did not, tint of all thing, dread and fear its editor. His howls were especially fearful and horrid over Ihoso institutions of which he knew nothing; after these came those that refused him accommodations then those in which his paper was approaching maturity. Now, they care little for him, and fear less. It is In be hoped, fur the credit of the Statesman is an anti-bank organ, that its proprietor it no longer under the necessity of seeking favors at these iustituliuiis. Hi course may then be less severe. We think it is so of late. He will, we liopo, dd justice to the bank in Ohio, hy publishing the vindication that apfwared in our paper, or its substance in some other hum. Vr-haps, if he had examined attentively Ihe article in the Magazine, he would have refused it a placo in his columns ; but wc guess not. Gen. Taylor's Opponent. (Jen.

Letter from the Plains. ' Four Lauamik, June IB, 1840. Fiu en i) Hi.akr: Thus fur we have got at last. We arrived here on thu Hilh, ot noon, being out from Fort Leavenworth Ihirty-six nud one half days, being quicker by at least ten days than the march has ever been made under the amnu circumstances. In the first place, as I wrote you before, the cattle were not in a condition to start with on a march, and Hie wagons were all very heavily laden. Hefore we got to Fori Kearney, it wns necessary to take all the loading out of one wagon, and place it in other wagons, in order to use it fur a hospital wagon for a case of the small pox. I must say, 1 r.ever saw a man possessed of more energy than Mj. Sanderson, As you are aware, he started from Fort Leavenworth tiie same day with Co. Loriug' command thu former with oxen, and the latter Willi a m 11 If train we havo been here two days, and 1 havu not heard how fur buck Col Loring is, but at least several days. On Ihe way wo lust a great deal of time by Mnj. S slipping lo render as-sirtlance to the emigrants who were in distress. Many of llieiii had broken their wagons, and in every instance the Major would have the blacksmith make repairs; if he found any ill and needed assistance, their wo 11 Is weru supplied ; if any of the emigrant companies got into any difficulties among themselves, they wouhl coi no (o him to have the mailer settled, and in one instance, he found an emigrant lying very ill, nnd was thought by some almost nt the point of dt ut h ; he made room for him in his wagon, and medical assistance procured, brought him here with him, and the man has recovered almost sufficient to proceed on his journey ; and I assure you there are a great many pasting this road thai will have good icasons to remember Mnj. Sanderson witli feelings uf deep gratitude as long as ihey live. 1 have not seen an instance bul that Ihe Major was spoken of in terms of highest pialse, and 1 know the Department could not have sent u man who would have given so much general satisfaction as Mnj W. F. Sanderson ; and I feel confident they could not havo found n man who understood his duties better, and who would hivo carried them out mure effectually. Ilu is beloved by till who know him the soldiers and ti.ose empluycd by government, as well as the emigrants, lie has now taken command of tho Fort here, and wilt proceed ill a day or two to ascertain if tie can innliu a boiler selection. 1 will now give you a slmrldetail of our march from Fori Kearney : We left Fort K.oti Sunday, the 27th ult.; we marched but fuur miles that day, on account of bad roads. The next d iy we struck Hie sand and found Iho roads very good; from that on, wh found game in abundance. The antelope we found in great numbers, but owing to their timidity and iteetnesi, it is almost impossible lo approach within gun shot. I wish you could see some of them. You would say they are the most beautiful animal you ever saw ; they move with so much ease and gracefulness, that you cannot but slop to admire them ; they seem to be always on the alert, and it is eeldoiii you can see them before Ihey see you ; liuwuvcr, 1 killed sonic of llicm. It was several days after wo left Fort K. before we snw any butftlo, though after we found them, we had wild meat all the time, in tiie uhipe of buffalo, antelope and wild sheep. Wo got along very pleasantly with the exception of one ire difficulty that happened between Tucker and myself, though it was settled to our mutual sa'ixfnciiou. You know J no. is very tenacious of Ins rights, and when he takes npasi- (ton, lie will maintain it at the t 'tsh of his life but this j lime he had to "fame jm"m." Well, Ihe matter 1 1 havo referred to is Ibis: T. and myself started out on a hunting expedition on horivs we had been out about an hour, when I shot at a hare. T.'e horse became frightened, and started to running and kicking, and dincn eame Mr, Turkic. 1 was very much alarmed, and thought liis leg wss broken; but fortunately, it was only bruised. We then started for our train, and we were in search of it until 10 o'clock Hint night, and we were obliged In camp out and wail I'm the train the next day , when wc ascertained they had taken a d'H'-rcnt road from tho one they intended, and that led us into error. We have passed over the most beautiful country that the eye ever beheld. About one hundred and seventy Wvm miles below this, we saw about one thousand Siuux Indians, the finest looking set of Indians that 1 ever beheld. Tiie men were all large and powerful, and possessed with fine intelligent countenances, and some nf (he women weru rather handsome than otherwise. They were all very friendly. 1 learned since 1 came here that Ihe reason they were down there was, they were alratd of a parly of Crow Indians. Ihero was a war party of Crows came down hem a short time nice to fin lit Hie Sioux, and the latter Wk their tudg-s, and ail left, men, women and children. They said Ihey would return here as soon as they had killed enough buffalo meal. 1 will give you a description nf (he birds on the prairie, winch ore very fine: The principal snd handsomest is the l.irk, which is siinihar to our lark in the State. The only difference is that it is a little lighter color on the back, but has quite a different nolo. It is what the Indians call the prairie turd. I he prairie snipe, which is about the size of the tame pigeon it egt are nearly as tsrgeaathe guin ea hen's egg, and (he same shape. A great variety of blackbirds, but nearly all different from those in the States. There is one specie winch are beautiful; their head and breast arc of a bright yellow, and a white spot nn the wing. Ihe bob. a link is here it differ from those in the States, having no while fea thers down the back. In fact, almost every kind of bird Oilier from the same species in the State. The scenery of the route which we passed over within the last ten days, is the most beautiful I ever beheld. The road passe close In the Tlatte river; the valley averages from one to len mile in width, the river run- mng through ihe centre, and on cither side high bluffs. and in tin so bluffs, which ran back about tour miles, were some of Hie wildest ravine that I ever luoked upon some filled su thickly with cedars that it would be impossible for a man to pas through. t)ne night I was caught out in these bluffs. 1 had got farther from ths mad than 1 tu aware of, and killed an antelope, which detained me some time, and not having seen Iho train since sun up when I found the mad, 1 hunted for the nearest camp, which I found abuulten o'clock. They had all gone lo bed with the exception of the guard. 1 told them I was hungry and would want some place to sleep, which Ihey very readily promised to provide rue with. While they wero pre paring my supper, I enquired where they were from was answered, from Ohm. It made my heart bound with joy j and upon fhrther enquiry, found some very warm Inendsol mine nf the party. Among them Jno C Fall and Terry Stvinman, both formerly from Lan- cailer, and in thu morning, who should 1 see hut Ross, of Somerset. They weie almost the first friends 1 have seen since 1 have been on the plains. The next morning 1 found uur train some miles jn advance. They had been somewhat alarmed at my absence, fearing Dial Iho Indians might possibly have "raised my hair ;" but it did me good to hunt out in Ihe bluffs, just to see Hie scenery of the oountry. There are the most beautiful flowers on the plains) that you ever beheld every kind almost. The most beautiful is the carina, which is 111 great abundance. Tin re are so many vnriete sof it, and they are just coming nut in bloom. Somrtimea as fr ns the eye can carry you, the plain looks like a flower garden The tulips and the lupin are in great abundance, and a g real many beautilul flowers that I never saw nor tnard uf be lore ; but I wish you could just caul your eye over them mice. I assure you you would imagine yourself in some lare flower garden. 1 hive had to stop writing a great many limrs, to attend In business, and even now our trngoiis arc book' d up, and waiting for me. I will just say, that there are a great many wai-ons burnt up on the road, and one half the provisions thrown out. The cholera is behind us wn are near the Rocky Mountains, which wo have seen for silly unit s. Excuse haste. Yours, in basie, WM. KINO. The Washington Republic slates tl'at prompt measures have been lake it byftbe Secretary of W.ir lo hold several companies in readiness to proceed at a moment's warning, to reinforce the troops now in Florida, should it appear lint the con duct of the four Indians who murdered Mr. H irker, in settlement on ludun river, be at all countenanced by Ihe small party of the ennnol.-s who still remain in Florida. There is do reason, it is added, to suppose, however, that this recent milrage of lbs few indicates either the feeling or purpose of Iho lube. TIIUIWOAY i:Vl;NIN;, August 0, 1SI0. Hoard ol Health.

The report of the Hoard of Heulth discloses the fact that the last ','1 hours have been unusually fatal. We wero prepared for such a report, from the quantity of unwholKome vegetables ottered and sold in tho mar. kel on Tuesday. 1'uoplu urguu with themselves that because peaches, apples, green corn, cucumbers, Jka. usually agree with them, and because theso articles nrrtr hate killed them, that therefore they may now partake of them with impunity ! When will they be admonished? The weather, since yesterday noon, hss been very wet and unt'avoiable to Ihe public health. Dentil in thu Tot! One year ngo, or thereabouts, there might be seen perambulating (he knobs nnd threading the glens of Clermont county, a pert young Lawyer, rejoicing in the name of 8. F A'urris, giving gratuitous lectures to whomsoever would give audience, un matter pertaining to state and national economy. Prominent among bis Ihemei was one upon which he was especially fond of declaiming and that was the vile iniquity uf the scheme sel on fool by 11 tho abolitionists," to effect a repeal uf the "black laws " a scheme, (ho tendency of which was, (uules checked in Ihe genu,) lo abolish those marks of aristocratic distinction, pro vided by the frami'rs of our constitution, whereby Ihe locolocos, or old (7ir-democrncy of Clermont, could readily recognize themselves from that other class who furnish the entire capital in trade of their brethren of the new ree-democracy school. This scheme receiy. ed tho unqualified maledictions of Mr. S. F. Nor-ru and he showed Jrum the Iwok that " Old Set bury " had repeatedly voted, while iu the Legislature, for the repeal uf the "black laws" and what further argument was required tu demonstrate his utter unfitness as a cuudidatu for Hie suffrages of the jigli minded "democracy ' of old Clermont! Ho highly did the orrm trs of Cler nout appreciate the lofty bearing and enhghtuned, statesmanlike views of Mr. H. F. Nurris, that they selected him and set him apart as (heir clmies representative, ?nd pulling their credentials in his pocket, despatched hvn lu the seat of government " as a bright particular z'r audi as few counties in the Stale could boast. When Mr. Nurris came to Columbus, it was the pol icy of those with whom hu did most associate, to endeavor lo block the icheels i government some had gone so fur as to deny that there mi any government and talked about " Committee, of Public Haftty," and oilier " ulterior measures.' After three weeks delay, however, it was ascertained there was a "balance of power" in town; and that by getting the weather- gjgo of that contrivance, Ihe dead constitution could bj revivified, and the rickety frame of the old ccracy lie 111 ado to budge again, for another year. Various schemes were suggested, snd many expedients resorted ti, to uvail Ihcmselvrs uf this " balance uf power," when al last it jmie tjua nan was announced. Two J. Itrpral the tllack hues! M. Elect Uiddings or Chase to the Senate. There were hard terms for one who had spent so muce time and breath in tho denunciation of those very thiugs as had the member from Clermont; but there was" a power behind the throne " capable of working wonders with the members of the old ocraajt and which was willing to try its hand with the new. Hefore the potency of that power, Mr. S. F. Nurris meekly submitted. He complied with the requirements of the balance of power," and did the rrry thing for which he hid so ofteu snd so vociferously denounced "Old Seabury !" He hoped lo bo himself foriren for perpetrating an an for which ho had ar raigned another, sat in judgment, and pronounced judgment of unconditional condemnation. lit did it for tho mutual benefit of the " ocraciei." Hut Ibis plea would not avail him. He had too thoroughly indoctrinated Hie slave "democracy" of Old Clermont, to shield himself in so frail a covert. Such men as Doictij (jiff, though they could, when party exigen cies required, " strain al a gate and swallow a saw mill, could not "jump Jim Crow " quito so dex-trously aalhisevotutiou required. They had condemn ed this scl in others they had denounced it to their neighbors tliey had deprecated il (o themselves they would Hat applaud it because donebij Mr. S. F.Xot ' ris and that was Hit ! Mr. Nortis appealed lo their fealty as democrats.' He begged " not to be condemned unheard "he had great and weighty reasons for the act he had done, snd he besought that " the democracy " of old Clermont would bul " hear him for his cause." He appointed a day on which ho would impart to them his reasons for pructiiing the very reverse of what he had preached; and implore J all who wished to be enlightened, In attend. The day arrived, and tho meeliug cmc off. . The mountain labored, and lo ! the rtxmjt! The " reasons" which had influenced Ins conduct were, that (Ais tros tht rrry brt n iho a in the slavt-dtmocraey tcer able todriremth Tvwnstttml and Murse ! And as some people professed to bn dissatisfied with his course, he took an appeal from their censure lo the combined no racies of the district; and then and there announced hinisf If a candidnle for tho Senate from the district of Clermont and Brown. The Clermont Sun, (through whose luminous co. umne our lovely neighbor used to scintillate light and knowledge,) is now Ihe apologia for Mr. Norns but it seems no go. The Georgetown Standard will not dance to Ihe new music ; and cite Ihe proceedings of a primary meeting, winch instructed ils delegates to vote fur Capt. How a tin as their candidate for Senator, " bat to support any negro in the district, in pnftrrnr to Xarris .'" Tho editor uf the Standard assures Mr. Shepherd F. Nnrris-Hiat such is tho language of all the " more" democrat throughout Urown county. Such being the cae, the "appeal" uf Mr. Norria may be considered as dismissed, and judgment ren dered against him for abandoning Ins professions, and for an ineffectual attempt to humbug the " mere " dt. mocrals, while selling, iinuli mug and delivering Hie 10 to the "rte" democrats.

" Hut, Mr. President, we want a national paily We have none. We have no nniiumil editors I speak of the Democratic party." John Van Harui at Cleveland. A declaration of the necessity nf a national puriy anu rid strangely coming from ihe quarter where this one is made, and nothing, wo are assured, but circumstances too powerful fur control, would have forced such a man into such an admission. To build up a great sectional party in the North, which was to be independent of Southern aid, and antagonist as it was atledged to its prevailing sentiment, wo Hie principal business of that cabal of political managers of winch John Van Huren is the spokesman, during the whole of the political operations of Ihe last year. Local organization is powerless for the promotion of a national object, and there are others besides the sou of the ex President who have made tho discovery The editor of the National Era at Washington, whoso ideas of party discipline and political effect, are as sectional us those of the narrowest South Carolinian, has also discovered that such notions are almost treasonable and worse than futile. He, too, declaims in favor of national parties, and is fully alive to the fully of endeavoring to effect a general movement by arraying one portion of the Union against another. In the light of confeskiuns such as these, Ihe wisdom of the Whigs in preserving their organization, and adhering to ull and euch of their ancient principles, is made most manifest. Had the Whigsof Ohio and the oilier Northwestern Stales, lust year accepted thu invitation of the Free Boilers, abandoned their principle and their organization, and gone over iu a body, to join in a fruitless and noisy crusade against slavery, what would have been the result? The Presidential election thai is past, and the Stale elections now coming uff, furnish an emphatic and couclusivo answer. We should have had a President phdotd against all letrislutive interference with the extension of slavery. Every member of Congress elected soul h of the Ohio River, would have been s pro-slavery Locofoco. With a President whoso vetues were ready to pledge out restriction, and a pro-slavery Congress, elected upon a slavery extension issue, where would have been Free Soil it force, its ability ? Emphatically nowhere. Southern Locofucoism, powerful and arrogant in a position to command, and iu a mood to enforce obedience would have stretched forth its sceptre lo northern Locofocoism, and the habit uf empire iu the one, and Iho instinct of subjection in thu other, would instantly have fused both, into what they have long been a National Pro-Slavery party. The election of General Taylor, to a aerlaiu extent, prevented this consummation. There i now no Na- tiotnl Locofoco party. Tho Locofoco of the South laud upon their ancient pru-alavery grouud. Thoso of the noiUi lira balancing between their ancient po sition, and a general coalition with Abolitionism, under thu martial nnmo of Freo Democracy. They aro endeavoring to retain their identity with slavery extension at the South, while they form their new copartnership with its opposite in the North; but the sue- cess of such an experiment is doubtful, and little can be said of its progress where it has been tried. Parts adhere to each, and a division is rapidly going on among the masses ; whilo the leaders, appalled by Ihu insiiiicgrauon wnictlllley sec around them, are coquet ting with both parties, and woudering where they shall eventually fall. New Qualification for Office. If a man served iu the last war, and voted tho dem ocratic ticket, that is qualification enough. He is entitled to office, and the administration that turns huu out, is guilty of a " base proscription." Now there wss Lapt. P rtkr Doooktt, Keeper of the NuB9Q.uk Lioht House, at Woon's Hots. Copt.

The Locos will tick-Ls you iu such a pick-Le that nothing will save your bacoo, not even sularatus. For the sake of our neighbor Ihe Statesman, wo have endeavored to treat this case in a serious manner. Wo hope that we have succeeded ; as it seem to be one in which lie lake some interest. We are in favor of qualifications for office we ars. Every man who votes the Democratic ticket ought to be allowed to keep a light house ; but to send a veteran who served in the last war to a hopeless exile at H ood's Hole, is of doubtful propriety, to say the least. We should like to have the principle explained, upon which it is done. Will citizen Sain- ' Uel turn o'er his man-Ual ; and give us the page of ihe New Constitution Where a hoary old vet- Eran gml as a bet-Ter man can, for serving in the last war, be tent to keep Ihe Snobbs light home, at H ood's and no chance fur relief by habeas corpus, or any other of our glorious institution ? Premntnre llurials In general, with persons deceased of cholera, the evidence of dissolution is so com pie lo immediately after it takes place, that there can be no doubt in the minds of tho observers, whether they be professional or not. In fact, in many cases, decay comes on so rapidly, as to furnish strong reasons fur a speedy interment, were there no other. It is not impossible, perhaps, that persons have been buried before they were dead; but these instances, in cases of cholera, must have been extremely rare. Ihe promptitude with which burials have been made, however, hits given rise to a great number and variety of tales uf premature interment and subsequent discovery, frequently crowned with the recovery of the patient. The late prevalence of the rpidemio in the Penitentiary, gave lo the wonder-tovtug people of the sur. rounding country the material for many frightful stories, of men hurried i ff to the grave while yet alive, or who were buried to dio at their leisure, by thou who had no time to wait for the lingering breath to take its last leave of the collapsed and blackening tenement.One poor fellow so goes the tale on being lowered into his narrow home, was awakened by the rudeness with which the ceremony was performed. Ilu knocked feebly on the lid uf his cuffin, and demanded a drink of water. Homo humane bystander furnished him with what he desired lie again rclspssd into a state of romn,and Hie burial rite procoeded without further interruption. Another one il is said was at tho moment of sup-posed diisuliition, attacked with paroxysms, which ren dered his society in the hospital anything but pleasant, lie wns promptly removed to hia coffin, and carried out, to finish dying during the progress of his funeral !
