A Writer in the Boston Medical and Sur- gical Journal says i "';-,'. By recurring to the customs of the an. dents, both previous and for a long ' period subsequent to the time of our Saviour, it will be seen that it was customary to wear the hair and beard long We also learn from tha best authorities that diseases of tim throat and chest, as well as scrofula and analagous complaints, were of very rare occurrence among them. Indeed we be- nave it to be a tact Which cannot be con troverted, that, with those nations where thebair'and beard are worn 'loner, the peo ple are more hardy and robust and much (ess subject to diseases, particularly of a pulronary . chajacter,. than thoee vWbo sliam The Turk, the Russ. the Green. landeraha Persian, dec., have been nearly exempt from bronchial and lungcomplaints. in Comparison with the European and Amestcan. . Nor can this be attributed to any climate influence, for no people are more exposed to atmospheric changes than the inhabitants of . those northern regions. - The fashion of ahaving the heard, like many other foolish and injurious customs of civilized life, has often originated from ab- surd and , ridiculous causes. Among the first who practised shaving the beard were the soldiers of Alexander the Great, who were commanded to remove their beards unorder that they might not serve as han dles to their enemies in. battle.. When Louis XIU ascended the throne of France, in 1856, it was the custom of the iuhabi tants to allow their faees to remain as their Creator made them. This monarch, how evef, was a beardless youth, and thus, in order to ape royalty, was shaving introdu ced and ' beards proscribed In Spain, also, was the fashion introduced in a similar manner. Philip V. was a beardless boy, add therefore, lor fashion s sake, did his subjects, hitherto noble and manly in ap, pea ranee, reduce themselves to this unnat ural ami childish state. The fair being a bad conductor of ca- loric, is admirably calculated to retain the beat of those parts which it covers, and to protect the important organs within from the effect! of cold and theconstant atmos- oheric vicissitudes to which man. must be exposed, j The importance of this protec-1 tive egen will be appreciated . when iLas borne in siind how many inflammatory at lacks aretindueed bv the euddeti aonlica. -b ' .x.J. uuu ui "f, auu wy oupurvaaiug umi iuui linn an neJessarv to health, thn Mrnnira.

Beaaarka ef Mr. CllaganakV On AboMom Petition, in the House of It vruetuahvet. January 5m, 1844. i Mr. CuifoiURna vine succeeded ii ob taining the floof, observed, in the opening of his remarks, that it might be supposed,! rrom the anxiety be had manifested to get the floor, . that he considered hiroseE as having something very important to y If such was tbe expectation of any, lacy would, be feared, be disappointed ; hj lad but little to say, and in saying it be abqUid not detain the House long. . But it basso happened, said Air. C, that, on -the second day of 4he- eneaiwiy wheav4b ganrteHtuSj from Alaasacbufettt (Mr. Adams) snaoe his motion to strike out the 24th rulej for merly tbe famous 2 1 st rule, excluding ab olilioa petitions i I voted with him : nor could I act differently, as I had long enter lamed a decided opinion on this point ; yet it did so happen that! was the only man u .i n... .u- I have been censured for that vote in some I of the papers opposed to me politically, and denounced as a renegado to the cause of the South. Some of -that sort of elang in wnicn too many ot- our papers aoouna has been directed inst me. To that, however, I attach i.nlj weight j but, that the reasons which governed my, vote on that occasion may be clearly understood, I wish to address a few words to the IIouq by way of explanation and vindication. I have for a long time been of the opin ion that we of the South have been, on tHis subject, pursuing a wrong course ; and the mora i .see of its consequences, the mode I am confirmed in that opinion. The 21st rule is, ns all concede, a restriction of the right of petition. But it is attempted to be supported on the ground that Con gress, acting in. this matte? as the local Legislature bf the District of Columbia. should not receive petitions of 'this charncTl ter, coming from the inhabitants of thTi states of this Union. Were this position true which for reasons that I shall present ly advert to I do not admit, it would not support the justice or propriety of this rule, because its prohibition prevents the people of the District from petitioning on this sub ject as much as it does all others. In ono surely will deny that the people ot tins Uis trict have a direct interest iathe matter, and of course ought to possess the right to have their petitions presented, should inoy ever think proper to offer them. I am told that in this country there ex ists no right f petition, Ihottgh 4 under all other -Governments and in all other countries in the world. Yet it does not exist in this country', because the peo nle are sovereign, and have a right to com mand. This doctrine has been advanced by men of-high standing at tho south ; but, sir, it seems scarcely to merit a reply. What can be so absurd as to insist that the major proposition does not include tho mi- nor! That because the citizens of this republic have greater privileges they are thereby denrived of smaller ones T But, Supposing this were true, howdoosMl affect the present question ! i wouiu line io aoow i what sovereign right it is which the people of tbis DisUict-fOflseasl .yf bey cannot vote, for the election of a fresident, nor lor a member of Congress ; their only political I right is thia right or petition. X el ot mis you deprive them, and trample on the only political right they . poiscss. And still I am told by some gentlemen ina me peopie 6f the District do not desire to present any ernmen, who, as we all know, are charg-l ed with being very fond of abstractions. . . . ..... . .. l. I tition, although they may not choose to ex- erciseitT If they come here with their petitions, they must be rejected. And the anrument that applies to the District will apply with equal torco to me lerniones, they are in a like condition. ! But I do not assent at all to the:1 position taken by the gentleman from New York, (Mr. Beardsley,) that when the people pray for obiects in themselvcs "unconstitutional J ....

If we esteem the "matter he ...... complains of no grievance, it is an easy thing to refuse, his petition. , . is it not a .reproach that ttie right of pe. titTon, a right so sacred and so important, . should nowhere.bo restricted but in this fair republic I.' ThijCright of petition should very where be as free, in my view , as tha xlght ef all treated bxihgs to nqtitkm tha . bupreme Ruler of the mm verso. If the petitioney thinks he la aggrieved, that is enoughio entitle him to a hearing. ', Inolre is another point I wish to touch. It does seem to me that these abolition pe titions are poor conteinMiblo things: in mselvesthey never can hart any body: are mere bruta fulnuna ; what harm can they possibly do if they elnl be rofer. red I bhould even a bill be reported in ' conformity with their request, cannot this House reject it 7 You have no rulo'of or der to prevent Ihe introduction of a bill. The member from Massachusetts, "or any other gentleman, might at any tinio intra, ducea bill to abolish slavery,-just as any other bill is introduced. You have no rule against this, which might really be danger- . ous. But the petitions, harmless and con temptiblo as they, are, you are careful to excluder Do not gentlemen se that if the object of the petitioners once becomes, the choice of a majority herot that majority' can . set tsidc this rule 1 It has done us no good " at ajl. It js a more fair-weather ryje.--; Tho moment a. majority is in favor of these petitions it will bo abolished. If such a majority should ever be found hers in favor of a bill to abolish slavery in the District of - Columbia, they will have power to. repeal this rule. Why then be! so adverse to the reception of abolition petitions! Tho House can reject any bill it docs not choose to pass, and so it can reject any petition it does not see fit to grant. Until a majority is in favor of the object prayed for, I care Tiot how many petitions are presented for And when that day shall como. that a majority .is in its favor, .tho rule will then fail you, and this Union will thon bo at an end. I do not, , however, apprehend any such result, in my day at Jeast.' 4 believe there is too much good eense al tho north to give up this glorious Union for the' sake . of abolishing slavery iu these ten miles qearev " ' ft By pursuing the course we have, we have given the abolitionists too much con sequence.
