The business of taking care of the people is parcel led out anions the chief Democrats, in this wise First, a Central Slate Committer is appointed of fifteen persons, amon. whorn are James thur St. Clair. A. F. Morrison and This commute are directed, "to coiieci pouucai uformation, to advise with and transmit, trom tune to . i time, througti tne several county GOmmuu., uj cular or otherwise to the People, such information, as may conduce to nirmomig conmcuug T " . . ..i I and secure the trmmpn 01 ponucai principle w.uuuout the aute, to give timeiy nonce OI a which may occur in eitner we ecumc, irS.Btiv or judicial departments o! me govermeu.u4 u- . ..... . f . t ,.f 1. J diana, together wun an buch ou.er m.tvc, be in their possession, calculated to promote the demociatic cause &c." We may expect the march of intellect to commence now, in earnest. Messrs. J. B. Ray, A. St. Clair & Co., arc to collect informa tion, and send it to the county committees and they are to distribute it among the people. We hope the direction to Messrs Uay, St. Clair & Co. to collect political information, was not intended as a hint, that they have not enough of political information, at present. The information is to be given to the pccple, "to harmoniae conflicting interests among other objects. Now, as the party all support an Buren from principle, we could not, at nrst, see

what conflicting interetts can arise among them, for hostlie armies, in all the parade of companies, rethe central committee to harmonize. But perhaps irnentgt bettalions and brigades. Certainly, but

we have an explanation of it, in the next clause 01 the instructions to the "central committee. 1 hey are to give timely notice, of all vacancies, in all the ojices of the State. VV hy are they to give this speedy notice! The people are always intormed ,oy prociamstion in the public papers, of the day fixed tor an Election. We see no reason why this speedy notice of all vacant offices, is to be given by the "central .committee" unless the effort is-to be made to fill al the offices in the State, with the partisans of Van Buren, and it is supposed that if early noticed all vacancies, is given to the county committees, they can marshal! their forces, ok successfully, for the accoraplishment of that object. Now in this scramble aRer the vacant offices some of the disinterested friends of Mr. Yan Buren may have conflicting interests, which the advice of the "central committee" may be necessary to harmonize. If any of our readers thick we hare misconstrued the matter, we would ask them what ot h er reason is there, than the one we have assigned, why the "central committee' should give timely notice of all tho vacancies in all the offices of the State. Secondly. In adition to the "central state committee" the convention appointed a set of committees called "Congressional District Committees" consisting of four or five persons in or near the centre of each congressional district in the State. The congressional district corammittee, in this district are M. McCracken, J. C. Eggleston, A Davidson and Miles Mendcnhall. What the duties of this set of committees are, may be inferred from the instructions given to the "county committees" stated in the next paragraph. Thirdly. The convention appointed a committee in each county, of five or six persons, called "county committees." The committee in this county is W. Lanius, N. II. Torbet, John P. Dunn, George Arnold, John Brumly and Thomas Caldwell. It is but justice to these gentlemen, to say that none of them were in the convention. The duties of the county committees are thus enjoined by the convention. "Whose duty it will bc, to appoint within their several counties, committees of vigilance, in each township throughout the county, with instructions to organize their several townships by adding to their numbers all and every Democratic citizen residing within said townships to apportion to ach township, the number of delegates requisite, to the county convention; each township being entitled to its ratio in Convention, in accordance with the polls of said township, and upon the first Monday of April, it being the day upon which the annual township elections take place throughout the State, appoint their delegates, by ballot or otherwise, to meet the County Convention , in accordance with the requisition of the corresponding committee; instructing them upon whom to unite, as candidates to fill the vacanciea nf county offices , and where two or more counties are included in one election district, said dele gates when in county Convention, shall appoint a suitable number of delegates to meet an equivalent delegation from the several counties composing said district, which district convention shall be held as near the centre of said district as may be found practicable, accompanying said delegates with instructions upon whom to unite as such candidates, which ordrr shall be observed in the nomination of State Representatives, State Senators, members of Congress and all others throughout the State. It shall further be the duty of said county committees, to ascertain from the committees of vigilance, the actual strength of political parties, within their several townships, in each county throughout the State, and make report of the same to the State Central Committee, and to the Committee of each Congressional District, at soon as practicable, after tho April election, annually." Thus it will be seen, that there is another grade of committees, below the county committees, namely, "committees of vigilance" in each township, to be appointed by the county committees, and these township committees are "to organize the several townships, by adding to their numbers, every democratic citizen in said townships." In other words, the township committees an to add to their num bers every Yan Buren man, in each township, so that all the Yan Buren men in the State, will be on the grand committee of vigilance. Are they to watch atA other of th friends of Harrison? What a stupendous system of party discipline! First, we have all the Van Buren men in the State formed into a great committee to watch etch other secondly, for

fear they cannot tako care oflhemselves, weThave a set of "county committees" to exercise a guardian

superintendence over them thirdly for fear the County committees cannot keep things straight, we have congressional district committees to assist in the arduous duty, and to cap the climax, high above all the rest.we have the central committee of Uay. St. Clair & Co. to guide the whole machine, transmit information and harmonize conflicting in- . . . . . f i terests. HcautituL superstructure: peneci pyramiu of living democracy! in which the people are the base or lower story, and Kay St. Clair & Co. the very top of the edifice. It is to be hoped they will move on with the harmony of other celestial bodies the people of the township committees, revolving around the county committees the county committees a round the District committees, and the District com mittees around Hay St. Clair &s Co. the sun and centre of the system, who are to impart light and harmony to the whole. But to be serious, wc ask the sensi bio patriotic Van Buren men ( and there arc many among our readers) if they can in sober judgment ap. y fa nQ faut - addition to that, they have proceeded to & part organization whose avowed object is nl- on nartv rrrounda. all the offices of the State, as fast as they become vacant, v - i 1 i -j a .g tcndcn of such a party organization? d vUm line of separation between the peoMnwtlpm fmnt tn front in united dialanx. as -"' lo foment and inflame party excitement and make all political question party questions to teach tJje peop,e tQ nQyQ on Jn lhe harnes8 of party , ... . . leaders di. rect, and move to the right or left, advance, fall back or tcheel about at the word of Command. The next question is who is to prof t by the party organization! Cannot the people vote fo4 Yan Buren if they please, just as well, without being drawn up in this sort of battle array, all numbered and marked, with committee officers over them, in townships, and counties and districts? Does not our zeal in the cause of our tavorjtQ candidates divide us enough and give euffi c;ent acrimony to our party contests, without thus marshallin!r the people into the field of strife, like aU this divisIon and subdivision, this drilling and ftfficerinfr Drcmote order, subordination and obedi . . bene6ts cf party, and "timely notice' is to bc &jven lhem of all vacanciea in all the offices of the gtate A11 tnG 0fficcs m tie state are to be the rewarj oftheir disinterested love of democracy. It ig not enougu that we elect our members of congress t Drincjie but all the offices of the state, ftepresentaliveSf Senators, Judges, Sheriffs, Clerks, RecorderSf and Justices, every thing that has a ,aary must b3 chosen on parly principles. What gay you to lnigj farmers and mechanics? Have we not iong cn0Ugb chosen our public servants on party grounds! Is it for the public good, that all the state offices, should be made the poi of a part victorvi Think vou we should have so much bittGrncss in our Presidential contests so much abuse of opposing candidates so much electioneering so many professions of democracy and love for the people, if the popularity of a candidate for President was not a hobby horse, on which his supporters could ride into power? No indeed! You would see the mercury in the the thermometer of our red hot partisan democrats sink down to zero in the twinkling of an eye. Their democracy rises to fever heal only in the sunshine of government patronage, but sinks below 0 in the cool shades of private life. Who, do they evince so much more zeal for their favorite candidate for the Presidency, than the people do? Have they more patriotism than the farmers and mechanics of the country? No! but they cherish the popularity and try to increase the strength oftheir favorite candidate for the Presidency, for exactly the same reason that the jockey feeds and curries his horse they want to ride him, and torn something by his success in the race. In making these remarks we do not speak of Van Buren partisans, more than any other. We despise the whole race of office-seekers, who are always trying to get up a party excitement, to lift them like leaves on the whirlwind into stations they can only disgrace. No matter whether they hurra for Harrison or Van Buren, or any body else, the people should be on their guard. It it only the office seekers who gain any thing by such a party organization as the Van Buren Convention has adopted the people are always the losers. Has not that Convention in adopting such a system of party discipline, and providing that "timely notice" should be given through the ranks, of all vacancies in all the oflicesof the State, shewn very plainly, than in promoting Mr. Van Burens election, their minds are not so entirely taken up with the good of the people, that ther have no time to provide for rewarding themselves with the spoils f In Fpeaking with so much plainess, we may give offence but we aim to do right without regard to consequences, and if any of our subscribers think our views are incorrect, they shall have the use of our columns to correct us. HARRISON MEETING AT HAMILTON. There wag a large and highly respectable meet ing at Hamilton, Butler county, on the 1st. instant, in favor of General HARRISON for the Presidency. Some 6f the officers of the meeting, and a consider able portion of its members, have heretofore been active and prominentadhcrcnts to the Jackson party, but on this occasion they nobly came Forward and enrolled their names in support of the man they know to be the friend of the peoine, who has faith fully served them for more than thirty years, and to whom the West particularly owes a heavy debt of gratitude. A number of those who attended the meeting had been the companions in arms of the Hero of Tippecanoe and the Thames, and they therefore knovv him to be patriotic,'honesl and able. The meeting was organized by the appointment of John Knot President, William Phares, and VVm. Kerr, Vice Presidents, and Benjamin, Cox, and John Irwin, Secretaries. A spirited preamble and resolutions were then reported by a Cbmittee, selected for the purpose, and after discussion and some slight amendments, were unanimously adopted. The meettng then appointed fifteen Delegates to attend the Convention to be held at Columbus on the 22d, proximo. The meeting was just four times as largo as the Van Buren meeting, held in the same place a short time previously, though the county of Butler has long been one of tho strongest Jackson counties in the state. Tim people, the honest yeomanry and working men are flocking to the Harrison standard with enthusiasm, in all parts of the Union. The patriotic nhout now ie, HARRISON ! THE CONSTITUTION AND REFORM.

The Louisville Journal of the 1st inst. says on the day before, two dead bodies, cut in many pieces and put in boxes, were taken up from Beargrass creek in the subarbs of the city. It was not known how they come there. - Correct Sentiments. General Smith, Mayor of Baltimore, in an address, delivered to the civil officers of that city, utters the following excellent sentiments. In the midst of the chaff which is blown around us, by the many who have crept into cilice through the corrupting influence of pnrty, and the many who are striving by the same influence, to obtain stations for which neither their talents or character qualify them, it is gratifying to have a little good seed sown occasionally by men whose eminent You have been regularly appointed to your sev eral offices, and I shall expect that you will without fear or affection perform the duties of your offices. In the execution you will bo polite and civil to all, tyrannical to none ; transgressors of the Ordinances must be fined and punished agreeably thereto; in some cases caution may be given to persons who may be ignorant of the law; if they again transgress punishment must follow. I will perform my duty to the best of my ability, and will insist on the performance of his duty by every officer over whom I have control I shall quarrel with no officer for a difference of opinion on political subjects. You are freemen and will exercise your right of suffrage without fear; agreeably to your own judgment; if officers do not they are no longer freemen. But I shall discountenance any attempt ofany officer to cause by the power of his office, any fellow citizen to vote contrary to tho dictates of his own judgment. Such coercion is depriving your fellow citizens of the greatest priviilege of freemen. As Mayor I never will dismiss any officer, or nominate any. on party principles. All the citizens have equnl rights to the offices: the only inquiry I shall make, will be, is the citizen honesl? Is he a friend to the harmony, peace and interest of the city? Nor will I dismiss any officer except for cause. Is he habitually intemperate? he must take the consequence ; does he neglect to perform the duties imposed on him by the ordinances? he must count on a dismissal as certain." Heroic Deed. Many interesting incidents, hap pened during the great fire in New York. The fol lowing is truly worthy of record. To the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser and An coca tc Gentlemen. I have just heard (through a friend) of a very gallant and heroic deed, performed by a young gentleman,1 during the lute awful conflagration, and think it but justice to Iftm, and indeed to our frail human nature, that it should bo known. Passing along one of the streets, then a prey to the devouring elements, his ears were assailed with tho agonizing cries of a femalr, to whom he immediately rushed, on hearing from her that her only child, an infant,?was then in the upper pirt ofa house already in fl imcs, and would inevitably be burnt up if some one did not instantly fly to its rescue, lie forced his way upstairs, notwithstanding the repeated warnings of tho firemen and other spectators, that he would inevitably perish in the attempt, and there found the innocent in bed, who unconscious of its danger, was piuying with its hands, pleased no doubt at the brillancy of the scene, (for tho room itself was on fire!) He seized it, and happily suceeding in effecting his escape, restored it to the embrace of its almost distracted mother, who, with frantic joy threw her arms around his neck, exclaiming with a heart overflowing with gratitude 'My God ! my God ! thou hast not forsaken me I" As such heroism is always accompanied by modesty, and by feeling3 overpowered by scenes like this; he made his escape from the applauding crowd, with as much precipitation as possible, but he will I trust, long live to remember, (and when called to "his account" find them true,) the words of one of them exclaiming as he passed, "For that act alone you have gained a place in heaven.1' No reward that could be offered to him on earth can equal the satisfaction that such a deed carries with it. Mr. Louis Walkins son of Martin S. Walkin3, a midshipman, returned a few months since from the Pscfiic. EXPERIMENT OF A DRUNKARD. We find in the Bangor Commercial Advertiser the following remarkable account of an experiment on a drunkard performed by a medical student at South Berwick. The fact which it describes is a remarkable one, and is apparently well authenticated. It is worthy the attention of the physiologist, and must strike terror to the drunkard, if he is susceptible of any feeling. Ignition of Human Blood. Vc observe in the Morning Star, an interesting experiment which was performed by Jacob C. Hanson, a medical student of South Berwick, Me. on the blood of a common drunkard, who was a resident of that village, in August last. The circumstances were briefly these. Mr. Hanson had some time previous to his trying the experiment read in some of the physiological authors, that on the dissection of the cerebrine of a defunct drunkard, a fluid was discovered in its frontal sinus, which on being extracted and ignited by the anatomist, burned with a blue flame. From this Mr. H. was induced to draw the conclusion, that during a protracted fit of intoxication, the blood must be strongly impregnated with alcohol, and a favorable opportunity soon occurred for testing the truth of his conjecture. A habitual and confirmed drunkard came staggering into the office of the physician with whom Mr. H. was a student. This object of pity and disgust was exhaling an odor more resembling alcohol than the breath of a human being. His eye was inflamed and flushed, and his whole system had been saturated with rum for a fortnight without cessation; during this time he had taken little food but had swallowed two gallons oRum, in the course of the previous five days. Mr. H. remarked that there was some danger of his perishing by spontaneous combustion, and observed to him that he might derive considerable benefits from being bled, giving It as nis opinion mat uie dioou was much encumbered with alcohol, and that he could ignite it, or in the words used to the drunkard, 'set it on fire.,, This last remark was followed by a request from the drunkard that he should be bled, which was performed without delay. From the odor which was perceptible to all present tho moment the fluid fol lowed the lancet, it was evident that it consisted of a mixture of blood and alcohol. This was fully confirmed by the experiment which followed. A pint bowl filled with this fluid was handed to one of the spectators, who ignited a mach and, on bringing it in contact with the contents of the bowl, a confla gration immediately ensued; burning with a blue flame for tho space of twenty-five or thirty seconds.

terestuiir experiment in tire Following words: 1 "The above experiment which resulted In a phenomenon thus brilliant, and which 1 had never nouceu eiuier uy oanauou hi hi aumura was nuiuu i ly witnessed by nyself, and the subject of it, who breathless silence, but by several respectable gentlemen, together with a worthy and respected physician, my tutor, who were present, and who in the subjoined certificate vouch for the authenticity of the fact I now submit to the public. Jacob C. Hanson. To the Public. We the undersigned, residents of South Berwick, Me. do hereby certify that we were present and witnessed the experiment above described. Charles Trafton, John G. Webster, John Kexnard. We cannot conclude our rer.arkg of this singular phenomenon without urging on the votaries of intemperance a serious consideration of the truth which it develops. Can we wonder that while a liquid hre is thus traversing the whole system, and scorching the finest tissues of the human frame that delicate sensibility should be lost! With a scorpion like alcohol stinging the brain and hnng the whole nervous system, need we be surprised that the unfortunate victim of this cursed poison is frequently impelled to acts of madness and desperation? It would be stranger indeed if the fires which thus smoulder in the system should never sting the miserable sufferer into deeds of the darkest dye, and urge him forward in the maddening course of debauchery and blasphemy. We trust that this experiment will have the effect of waking up the philanthropist, and urging onthe friends of temperance to wage an unceasing warfare with this overpowering and desolating evil, until the "blue flame" which has risen from the blood of a fellow being, light the repentant drunkard back to the paths of temperance, and serve as a beacon iight to those who would avoid the horrible life and miserable end of the confirmed drunkard. ECCENTRICITIES OF A MAD MAN. Mr. , a lawyer in Vermont, doing a good business at once became insane, and look it into his head to abandon the practice of law, and engage in basket making. lie wsa at first, a very awkward hand at this new employment, but by dint of perseverance, he soon became very skillful, and could weave a basket as well as he had formerly wove an argument at the bar. He followed this business about six months, when, taking a new notion into his head, he abandoned it for that ofchair bottoming. The material used in this occupation was bark, which he stripped from the trees in early summer, when it peels most easily. Ilavingcome home, one day, covered from head to foot with mud, he was asked where ho had been, that he had got so thoroughly bedaubed. He answered, that he had been in a neighboring swamp after elm bark, of which he exhibited a strip about forty feet long. "Do you remark thisfsaid he triumphantly. "Yes; but how does this account for you being so muddy? It isn't usual to find mud on the top of a tree." "No; but you may, sometimes, find it at the bottom, though. Pll tell you how I found it. I cut the bark near the root of the tree, and then stripped it upwards, expecting it would come to an end and break off, and run itself out after a while. But it hung on like a suit in chancery and I stript, and stript, until it run up forty feet and as broad and strong as ever. Thinks I to myself, the r's no use in pursuing tho thing any farther, and so I'll enter a nolle prosequi. But not to lose the benefit of what I had done that was tiie point to be decided. I wished at least to save costs but, pshaw ! I forgot I'm not a lawyer now. Well, as 1 was saying, I looked at the subject to see how I could secure the bark. It was too strong for me to break off. At any rate, thought I, ther'e is more than one way to skin a cat, as a butcher would say. If I cannot break off this bark, I can climb up by it. No sooner snid than done. I seized hold of the strip, and, placing my feet against the trunk of the tree, ran up hand over hand. By this method of climbing, you will perceive my back must have been downward, and nearly in a horizontal position my feet being braced against the tree, and my head standing from it in an angle of nearly ninety degrees. Having arrived at the proper height, I was then in a quandary, how to get my knife out of my pocket, and how to get it open when it was out. If I let go with one hand, I was fearful the other would not hold me. However, says I, its neck or nothing. I'll try the experiment at any rate so I gripped powerfully, with my left hand, while I took out my knife with my' right, and opening it with my teeth, whipped off tho bark as clean as the law would dock an entail. "And what do you think was the result ?M "Why, you came flat 'upon your back, of course." "Right gentlemen of the jury a very correct verdict indeed. I came down flat in the mud. Never was a client laid flatter on his back than I and never was one so completely bedaubed with fihh and mud. But thanks to the yielding nature of the soil I saved my bones, and only brought away, the mischief on my coat. I gained my cause too which is more than I can say of all mv undertakmgs. The company laughed heartily at the ox-hwver's account of his exploit while the latter, hanging his coat up in the sun, sid, that the mud, likethe old woman's grease would rub off when it was dry. He continued a while longer to follow his occupation of chair bottoming, when, suddenly becoming sane again, he resumed the practice of law, and has, ever since, preferred laying his opponents on their backs, in a legal way, to being laid on his own in so ludicrous a manner as that above related. iY.
