Engilsh Nominated | fer Geverner—The Platform ef the Party- , The Democratic State Convention of Connecticut, com- ‘posed of some four hundred delegates, assembled yeater- day st Hartford to put in nomination a State ticket and adopt @ platform for the party. No unusual enthu- siagm marked ite deliberations, The business before the body was very-quietly transacted, the candidates were put tm mominatios, the platform agreed upon and a few speeches made by the lesser lights of the party. The grenmt guns of the Connecticut democracy did not lend their eloquence te the proceedings. The Convention was called to order about eleven @ clock, when Judge Betts, of New Haven, was called te preside temporarily, and opened the proceedings with « brief wddress. All felt, he said, the importance of the presem® position of the democracy ef Connecticut in Connection with the politics of the whole country. He felt that with a good platiorm and good men the efforts of the radical destructionists would be frustrated. Those disorganizers should be informed that they had misunderstood the people at the last elections. A repre- sentative government was the wish of the people, not an oligarchy; and Connecticut, on the Ist of Apri, should assert her declaration lative branch of the government wns entire government; that the the creature of alegislutiva majority. With such prin. nee the democracy entered on the presont cam- paign. The appointment of the usual committees was then Proceeded with. Mr. Gattacuer, chairman of the State Central Com- mitice, begged leave to avbm:t to the Committee on Resolutions one declaring eight hours of Jabor in any departinent of employment a lawful day's work.

Mr, Wao was received with considerable enthusiaem, and very briefly addressed the convention. They had assembled to make preparations for tho usual annual election. The call liad not been to men of any political antecedents, but toall who loved the constitution of their forefathora. It was nota time to exact “an eye for an eye and a tooth fora tooth.’ In hia ju ent the spirit of hate should be banished and the spirit of peace and conciliation be fostered in tho true interest of uniting the (foe of tho country, With sucha prin- ciple actuating their counsels they could nof fail of suc- cose, TRE NOMINATIONS, ‘On motion a tommities was appointed to consider and report wpon a State ticket, A delegate moved that before the committee retire Mr. James K, English be nominated as the of the convention for Governor.

Lecture by Rey. J. C, Fleteher, ‘A lecture was delivered last evening by the Rev. J. C. Fletcher, at the Reformed Dutch church, Twenty-first street, on the subject, “Iwo Thousand Miles up the Amazon.”’ There waa @ large and attentive audience present, The lecturer in his opening remarks bricfy wketched the landing of the Spaniards in South America, under Pizarro, and their subsequent conquesta over a great portion of the continent From Peru am expedi- tion was @tted out, in 1639, npder Gonzales Pizarro, to discover @ city which the Indians informed them abounded in gold, The Indians of Pera found the Span- iards go avaricious for the possession of gold that they told them there was city in the intenor whose streets were lined with gold, and the King of which lived im ao magnificent palace, the piliars of which were alabaster, and whose roof sparkled with precious gems. Tho bang each had an odoriferous bath, afer which his astendants Ee him with gold dust; that thie King was stv! Porado—the Golden One. It was" from this the town El Dorado arose, This'so aroused the cupiity of the Span- Jards that an expedition was fitted out for the Golden City, and with a party of Spaniards and a large force of Indians Pizarro set ont to cut bis way through the geep forests that lay between bim and his coveted prize. The ‘at tho cupidity as'wel! as at the avarice of the Spaniards, and.as they journeyed on and on, they would still gay the city of the E! Dorado lay further off; ana the Spaniards penetrated deeper into the wilderness of forests, till, overcome with futicue and ntment and the want of provitions, that it was necessary 10 send off a detachment to procure food. Onana was ehoseD-tojcommand the party, and they pur- sued their fd ult, they reaché&@ the Oronoco, which they were “would bring them to the ocean, Onana at once conceived the 4dea of building a vossel which would convey them.te thessea, and ¢hus back to ‘Some of bis this; but they were soon brought to terms, . the expedition * set forth till they reached the Amazon, Of the ifeence of this river no one without eeeing it could have an: just conception, The monk who chronicled the’ expedi- ‘on gtves an account of an encounter the Spaniards bad with the Amazons, @ race of warrior women, who, it ‘was supposed, inbabited the region. Tbe Spaniards were attacked by these seeming Amazons, and It was not till seven of them were shot a that the expedition was allowed to procoed, which Lecgen nope sailing down the Oronoco, reachod the ocean and made their way back to Spain, Onana andhis companions were pardoned by the monarch for their account of the discovery and other wondera of the great river. Whoa sabsequent travellers reached the region of the Amazon they in- quired for the warrior women, till the indiane, thinkin, the strangers knew more themselves, would speal of them as if such Amazons really existed. But the mistake arose from the dress of the Indian warriors, who wore their hair parted im the middie and their h ads decorated with feathers; and as they fought behind immense shields which reached to their chins, it was easy (0 mistake them for women, and it was to wonder that they imagined they eneountered women warriors. At the present time, when the Emperor of Brazil goes twice a year im state to open apd close the Imperial Chambers, be appears in the costume of the Kings of Portugal of a century and in addition wears a cap decorated with the feathers of the Ioncan, thus representing the native anthority in a portion of the dress of the ancient Caciques, It was from these supposed women warri¢rs that the name Amazon was given to the river. Onana received permission from the King of Spain to set out again for the Amazon, but im making his way up the river, be, through disappoiotinent, sickened and died without being permitted, as he hoped, to give his name, Onana, to the river. ‘the Indians call the rive which means the rivor, or the King of Waters, Mostly all the rivers of East and South America have the word Para aggre. | to them, as the the Pa- rapa, Paraguay, &ec. In Paraguay nine-tenths of the Je are Indians, but the government is most despotic. ‘he most usual and at present most direct route to the Amazon !s by English steamer from Southampton or French steamer from Bordeaux to St Taomas; frum this by Brazilian steamer to tho river Para Brazi! is at present withdrawing the restriction which formerly ob- structed commerce and communication with the cpuntry, and it would ,be well if Americans endeavored to make more of her adyagtages in the of rafie with the empire. {oer zi balf of South Am Mebetacletig : pce erica , and more than ont ba It is estimated f i i: ‘The greatest distance that steamer can navigate Mississippi is two thousand Gory hundred miles; but be saw, in the dryest season ‘the year in Brazil, a Brazilian sloop-of-war two thou- sand‘miles up the Amazon. While that river 1s wider and a than the Mississippi, it has twenty branches larger the Onto river, and more than two hun- dred miles .o1 than the Hudson. Tho lecturer then gave a sketch of the cause and pro- gress of the betwoen Paraguay and the allies, amd im concluding his remarks on that subject expressed the conviction and the Uhat the aljies would be successful, as theirs would be the success of civilization and of Brazil, he said, had determined cre slavery tiroughout the empire, and quoted the Emperor's saying to Mr. Scarlett, the English sinister at his coart, that he had lived to see the end ofthe Airican slave trade, and he hoped to tee the abolition of domestic ‘siavery, 1n again referring to the Amazon, be said that the mouth of that river was wide enough to swallow the States of Nareschusotts and Rhvde Isiand, with a tice of Connecticut in, The wavors of the Amazon flowed ia such volume to the ocean tbat thoy retained their color seven, 9 ueR eee ae ag ene: ‘orred to some of the citios, Mey iny ‘ava, formerly des. tined to be the capital of Brant, would become neciiet city of the region of the Amazon, as it was within reach of the productions of ihe Audes and the heart of South America. ‘The lecture was very intoreeting, and was listened to with great atiention by a very appreciative audiencs, PHYSICAL SCIENCE. eee Influence of Diet Upon the Henith and Devel- ment otf Man—Lectare by Dr. Hebbard.

The salivate glands were an important agency in the utilization of food. ‘Their office was to moisten and prepare it for the stomach, For this purpose they secreted three pints of saliva during every twenty-tour hours, Liquids taken durifig the meals usurped their place while they did not discharge their functions. Hence drinking during the time of eating was to be avoided as far as possible. The teeth, the masticators of our food were, \f used properly, fitted to last a hundred years, aud still bein good onder. How was it that they so commoniy failed us before middle age had been reached. The anewer was to be found in the large quantity of hot Nquids taken imto tho mouth, and the inordinate amount of sweets consumed. The tongue and thorax filled miner functions im the work of i Dineases, storoach: an from intestinal canal—thirty feot in longth—b3 arteries and aoteal glands distributed through the body, to be into the various constituent parts of bumap The blood, supplied with oxygen from we Hires wos thus purided and vitali The lecturer @hlarged upon the reat fmportance of bis Theme, Ihe bicod depeneed upon digee!

It was more important to regulate the food than the teaching of the rising ion.

This instructive and eminently practical theme was se bandied aa to retain the upflagging inierest of the for more than two hours. THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE. Meeting in Plymouth Church.

B. Duryer, Chatrman of the Execu- tive Committee of the Plymouth Temperance Society. Mr. McCay offered up a lengthened prayer, in the course of which he expressed a hope that intemperance would be forever extirpated from the land, ‘Miss Evri Parxuvner camg ‘1 Will Not Marry a Mao ‘Who Drinks,” being accompanied on the harmonium by Mrs. Parkhurst. ‘Mr. Geonce Havt was then introduced, and said he was glad to see so large, intelligent and respectable a meet- ing, and that Brooklyn was enabled to have such agrand turnout in Plymouth churcb. This was one of the greatest causes that ever engaged the attention ef mankind. Take a drunkard and give him back his reason, restore him- to his wife and family, and see what a work they would have done! He believed that this work went on among th and lowly, aud not among the rich, who neglected it, and that the Church was now going to step in and make this cause iriuomph, He was under tue impression at one time that were a pation of drunkards, but six Baltimor ans took up the work and it went on; but if the Charch did not_engage in it now he feared it would not succeed, The Father Mathew Temperance Society of Brooklyn mow numbered ten thousand persons, anit wore doing a great deal of 00d; 80 also were the Sons of Tem Thar best exertions wero demanded on the part of res} ‘who, he was aorry young men, tosay, were falling into babits of inlemperance. He spoke of the efforts that had been made to revive the tem! ce cause at different public meetings. If any of them saved only one human being from drunkenness it would be the most consoling reflection that could be this than was imagined. There were many young mea now in Brook! who on acvonnt of their drunken habits felt they were deserted by their friends; but they we not bo saved unlese their parents and friends prac- ised the temperance that they would have others ice, It would not do for fathers and mothers to a clergymaa bad induced a young man. to break te pledge'by taking a glass of mild wine.

It was @ monster, « most Plague that ever Alcohol was poison to all the powers of maz. Aman who drank anything that intoxicated him drank alechol. Brandy that purported to be dis- tiled from wine, contained fifty three per cent of alcohe!, and ram fifty per cent ; gin was fifty per cent absolute al- |, flat with iteof turpentine, It was fer the alcohol that was in spirits that men drank it, and dleo- hoi was b: and this habit of drinking alcohol was simply putting hydrogen tato the bioed iosiead of the lungs. Aleobol acted on the brain. If he took out the brains of a dog to which alcohol had been ‘iven to drink, and analy zed thoee brains, be would pro- juce to them eighty per cent of the alcohol just a pure ‘as if it had been taken into the human system. Alcohol jet loose the whole how:ing pack of wolvos of the human ssious; it enthroned a demon in th sou!, anatcned he seepire from intelligence and drove the of faculties forth am incarnate fland into homan socicty. Alcohol stabbed the soul in its vitality. Pestilence of different kinds had an ending, bat intemperance never slept; it mover rested—it was never tired.
