When the common j herd of politicians shall b consigned to the forget-! fulness of oblivion, his memory will still live in the j minds of men. While many others who have entered the dusty arena of Polities, have come out crowned and vieto- i riou?, but soiled and stained, he i.as retired from the 1 field ofliis well-fought battles, defeated, it is true A glorious martyr to principle—hut with garments unspnflo.!, uneon'taminated, by the blood and j j dirt of the filthy arena. He has passed tliiough the fiery furnace of .1 political campaign, and the “siih-II of fire” is not ihurul upon him.

The Constitutionalist thinks, ther. ia but little doubt, that .lohnaon will bo elected over both the other candidates, by a majori ty of S.. -Kj. Mr. Overby, h, thinks, w ill get about ‘ole*-.

There is no telling what might h the happy . fleets that would result from such exeellent diet. As the body is said to undergo an entire change, every seven years, there would be hope, that even Mr. i'obb, by con tinual!*. tee jng on prohibition hits, might at last V**- oomo staunch prohibitionist. NN'e fear, however, that .some of the prohibitionists would not sot very tvel! on his stomach, ospecislly, if ho is in the habit of drinking. Gastrie juice diluted with vvh’skr would never digest a prohibitionist. If he were to get hold of Joseph Grisham, Tienj. Brantfy, or T'nele Dabney, and after he had swallowed them, they were to smell th<- lea.-’ scent of liquor, they would eith- r prohibit the introduction of the arti-fie altogether, (which would be a great inconvenience) or kick up such a r**w, that he would Ik* glad to do vith them, as the whale ’ltd with Jonah, empty them on dry land.— 1 pen the whole, wc think Mr. t obb had better not get! old of such tough customers as the above men tioned, unless he wishes to be a confirmed dyspeptic. He will find, however, some milk and water,'or ra tio -.r wbixky and water prohibits mints in our ranks, that he can digest without difficulty, and we don't ear*- if he does eat a lew of them.

Bath i a ztiehj subject for an Editorial, hut since the election, almost any sort of a subject is looked upon as a godsend hy the Editors Not so sticky as you might suppose either, since we hare a greasy peu to handle it wi'.h. For some writers, it would he the very’ subject, those, for instance, who can’t stirk to the subject, for however much they might wander, th- subject would still stick to them. (VVe know cf some editors whose style would be wonder fully improved by practicing awhile on some such subject.) But unless we do, os the girls do, when they “pull candy,” that is, nullify* the viscosity of the candy hy the application of butter, we fear that like “Macbeth's Amen,” wo shall yet “Hurl.” If we do, however, we can derive consolation from a Weller ism, and quote from the poet. “Sited is the tie that hinds,” as the tiy said w hen he lit in the honey. Notwithstanding it is such a good subject, we should not have thought of writing upon it, had it not been fi r tho kindness of a friend, who brought the subject to our attention, by placing op our table some of the nicest Molasses Candy we havo ever Pten. Now Molasses Candy, ir. itself, abstractly considered, is nothing extra—in fact it is a verv !?>!! thing. Everybody'has tasted it--almost any body can make it. But when wc reflect upon the assoi-atior.s connected with it, the pleasant mem ories that cluster (stick) around it, and the collateral r* -lilts that flow from it, the “subject s*retU into most moiaintous importance” a. ; the Politicians say*, when they are manufacturing one of those “awful crises,” with which they bamboozle the “dear poo pV” ‘Vh a one first -aw this candy or. our tahiv, wc [ looked upon ft as little hoys do, as something Tory 1 nice to -st, but when vve had placed a bit of Hi#our mouth, and it began to melt, we were thrown into a delightful mood of contemplation, and memory vivid ly brought to mind the pleasure of many a delight ful “Candy Pulling'’ -that old fashioned amusement, [that was invented as a substitute for Gander Full | ing*. in the good old times of “Cotton Pickings,” ! “Quilt'tigs,” and “Plays,” that were always conclu ded with kissing, before the Invention of cotton gins, .sewing machines, and these detestable, straight bnckod, He-producing, scandal-circulating, white-kid soirees, Genth; reader, were you ever at a “Candy Pull ing”—some cal! them “Candy ■Stretchings, 1 ’) one of the old-time sort, when there was a most delightful ly iiic.ineruous mixture of love and Laughter, bovs I- V- I ‘and butter, la-ses and molasses?

M e take the above from the North (ieorgia Times, for the purpose of giving our readers the proof of ac tual experiment*, that peace, quietness, and good or der are promoted, even on exciting occasions, hv closing-up the grog shops. In Atlanta, the grog shoj*’ were closed, and the papers are in eestacics at the good order that characterized the occasion. AN hat was the cause? In Augusta the grog shops were closed, aud the best of order prevailed. Will the Editor of the Constitutionalist explain the reason of this unusual good order ? In every place where the liquor establishment* were shut, good order and quiet were the results, even in places formerly char acterised on such occasions', by disorder, confusion, rowdyism and a disposition l/ riot. Is it a diificuit matter to trace these effects to their cause? Ito not such facts go to prove that Temperance men arc right when they say, that grog shops being the source of a majority of all the evils that afflict society, the best method .to remove the evils, is to remove the cause, by closing the- grog shops ? They most certainly do. We agree wifi, the Times as to the “impolicy of forcing any ‘prohibitory law’ upon the people, be fore they are prepared to .enforce it.” Wtiat he say* on this point is a mere truism We never have heard of any one who a IsL.-d to forct a law on the peqpie, Ari an w ould he insane to attempt such * thing in this country of majorities. We have been trying to prepare the people for action on this great subject, anti expect still to continue our efforts. The suggestion ofthe Times, (if iu- can do no better) wifi meet with our hearty co-operation. We arc willing to forward and aid in any plan (even, if it does not receive, in every particular, our entire approval) which ha-> for its object', the lessening of the evils of Intemperance.
