We invite attention t?> the Klin-inf none of "Many Citizens" appearing in anotln column. Tliere is 110 doubt whatever but th; Col. Brooks' late course in reference to ll Massachusetts Senator commands the ei tiro approbation of his District, and it due to him that he should be returned I Congress forthwith by the: largest pnssih vote. Every man in the 1 >i?trict wli hears of this election should cot mm iiieale with his neighbors, ami thus l?-t il strength of the District be maile inanitV next Monday. The suggestion of "Many Citizen*" in n gard to contributing money to pay thelii we hope will be adopted. It ought not t <be, and it must not be, that Col. lirool should be left to pay it out of his own pool <it, and we object to its being paid I the Governor. The Congressional l>istii< AO gallantly and honorably represented h <Col. 1 hooks should and will take a pride i paying it. We hope, therefore, the Man: gers wii! not neglect this important arrangi ment. The people of Abbeville Distric wo feel assured, need only an opportunity < Contributing, and their shaie of the wor will be done. It is unnecessary to say more, and w only repeat our request that the appeal i "Many Citizens" may be read and hocder Military Notico. It will be seen by reference to the advei tisement that Col.

Hut \vc wish to ... ,i call your attention to another matter con- at nocted with this affair. Mr. Brooks has been indicted in Washt? ington?tried l?y the Criminal Court of the District of Columbia, nnd fined three hun(Ired dollar* for the said assault upou the C said Sumner. st K ' 1 1 Now, wo, your fellow citizens, propose!

This will f/ive point | ' ' und force to our endorsement. |(.' * . ^ ?1 12 There are reasons why it is more proper j o| for his immediate constituents voluntarily to i oi ' contribute the fine, than that it should | ol come from any other source. We, therefore, suggest to the managers ^ ? of the election to be held on Monday next, j(( ? to open at every precinct, not only a poll for ?|, votes, hut a hox for contributions, to pay S g the fine imposed upon Mr. Brooks. A small sum from each voter in the Congressional ^ j District will be quite sufficient, aud if there should be any over, after paying the fine of fi; three hundred dollars, it can be held by the board of managers, as a contribution to the 11 B j Congressional District Dinner, to be given '' lo Mr, Iirooks, upon his return, at the old ^ Star Fort of Ninety-Six. v; This course will, most probably, be taken t t i- T ~ r ?-i xr ; iii iviuvin.il, jjKAiugiuii, jviiuri'.no Jinu new? berry.

[foii tiii; im>?:i*kni?knt rm:s>.] "But wine wliit-li has undergone fermentation," remarks a temperance writer, ucoiitaitis alcohol?alcohol is a poison, am! as such should he avoided." Alcohol, per so, is in.t a "poison," as this writer would have lit, and because excessive indulgence produces intoxication, mania a potu, delirium | tremens, is no reason for us not to use it "mod* I eratciv." The wisdom consists in the modj rrafv use. Alcohol was first introduced into Kuropo hy ihe Arabs and the Alchemists together, with the art of distillation, early in the middle ages ; and when Arabic or j Saracen civilization was ahead of that of' ' Kurope. The name that the Italians gave j j to alcohol is aequo? vita ; tho French, enn j j dc vie, that is water of life; ami the Spaniard ' ! called it ntjua ardimtr, warming water.1 The verv popular names show what they j ! consider it to he, and not a poison. AVhen j (h>t introduced was sold many hundred j j dollars fur the smallest quantity, so great! j was its many powerful virtues, and it was! j supposed that this alcohol might he the] j elixir of life, while wiuo was the milk of' Sold age. j j Alcohol, like food generally, is a stimu-1 j lant, because it al^o stimulates or quickens' j the vital functions; though its efl'ecls are I ! readily felt on the circulation and rospira- j j tioii, Htill jts action 011 the system is more j evanescent than food; it is sooner felt and J sooner over ; because it is a diffusive stimu laiit; other is slill more so. The respiratory organs consume these alcoholic stimulants nearly c-n I iroly, hence the breath of the man that indulges in thein is iimnccli-1 atcly affectcd, and the smell of the alcohol is distinctly perceived. r The writer does not understand the value of the word "stimulant,"when he says, that I vegetable!8, such as corn generally, is not a 1 stimulant. lie says : '"The vegetable pro- i dilution?, wheat, corn, (maize,) rye, the I grape, cane, ?fcc. cannot be denominated stimulants. They are not at all &o in the j strict sense of the term. When used moderately, as. they mine from the hand of the creator, they are innocent and useful, properly speaking, producing no stimulating effect." >So pay I about the use of wine, or alcohol, when taken "moderately," is very neoTtil "nrnnnrlir enonl'ini* " ? ^.vnttMlg, (.lUUllUIIJJ Ul> evil consequences. Tliat is tlio wisdom : moderation in nil ihiug*! and witli it no indigestion, no intoxication. In moderation we liave almost tlio elixir of life and the philosopher's stone ; for a man may be even "righteous over much." But do we use these grains, wheat, maize, ?kc, just so now, without any preparation at all ? Do they not all undergo fermentation in the process of making bread ? and I does not this partial saccharine fermentation generate or develope alcohol in the very bread we eat? Certainly it does. Then, there is nn end of the thoughtless argument of the Sons of Temperance; and of their objection to drinking wine because fermented, and refusing to drink it because alcohol.jhas been developed in the act ofj fermentation. Away with all such pitiful nonsense nnd absurd ideas ; for, to be consistent, they must reject all fermented bread, (the best of all, kinds.,) and must betake uiemseiyes 10 ui6 uuloaven bread of Ibe Jows ; qr go to grass, or munch noorns and coi n, just as "they come from tl?e hand of tho Creator," Bread with alcohol and all nutritious substances, be they of vogetable or animal origin, physiologically speaking, are stimulants ; fo* 'they support life, and stimulate it into action. It is therefore ridiculous to say titbit the grains' jnfet mentioned are not Mho is, physically speaking,. but a bundle of nerves, requiring stimulants of every kind, solids and liquids, to keep the vjt&l principle in motion, and it is extremely absurd to asaert that man Can exist without stimulants.

By the intrr duction of this branch of indnsirv not. nnl' many millions of dollars will be kept in tlx country, but the only rational basis of tern perance will be introduced, and tlie ren principles and practice of this great caus greatly advanced. It is in vain they try t< misrepresent the well established fact, viz that the only temperate people are th wine growing, the wine making, and th wine drinking nations ; and that all sncl people never tfravo for ardent spirits, as ai habitual drink. They drink wine in mod I elation at their meals, as other people ,tak coffee and tea, and after that, they scarccl i ever tonch anything but water.
