Lincoln proceeded to Washington in answer

is also said thnt on account of the known

THEODORE
=II
—The eve was damp and ebill—darkness
veiled the face of the sky—the deep roared,
and the mad billows lashed therugged beach.
Theodore was seated on a cliff over-looking
the sea shore:— his face was pale and
emaciated—his hair hung in wild disorder,
and he was beating his breast in despair.—
The remains of his departed Maria had
been just committed to the dust. Distracted
he had followed the hearse; and after the
said ceremony of interment, had set bath
ing the sod of his comfort with many a tear:
Desperation had driven him hither. In
melancholy tranepurt he exclaimed:— "My
fair one, my beloved one, the idol of my
soul, the pride of nature, is pine. is rav
ished from mel lloar louder, ye seas! ye
winds howl! pour down, ye rains, a -deluge!
gron ye elements in concert with my woe!"
lie paused with unutterable anguish. Spent
with complaint he reclined his head upon n
rock and fell asleep. The gale strengthened
—the rains descended in torrents—the seas
boiled with fury, hoarse thunders rumbled
and keen lightning darted from the heavens!

cast his eyes upwards. At that instant a

and exciting. There are several original
and admiral:lo articles by new contributors,
among which "hunting ;n the Province of
New Brunswick," by If. S. Stallknecht and
A. G. Bradford, is charmingly written, and
is full of interest. It is a rialt number in
literary excellence, and it is moreover pro
fusely illustrated with engravings done in
the very finest style of art:
The Fashion Department, embraced in
this tine inagnzine, is the fullest and most
reliably complete ex rositinn published in
America. It is an authority upon all mat
ters of taste in dress, and contains fine en
gracin;::• nuj fall deoeriptions of the newest
styles in dress, bonnets, cloaks, Laces, fancy

alike of high order, and such as the pages
of the Atlantic best afford. Dr. Holmes'

that the promise will be well kept.

several say the idea is a correct one, and
would like to have the matter teited by the

doing? Can't they call a meeting of the
Citizens of old Columbia and hear their

policy the only result? G )04 trees should

The Peace Conference
The Peace Conference brought its labors
in behalf of the settlement of our National
political difficulties, to a elose;on Wednes
do y by the adoption of Mr. Frank!' n's amend
ment of Mr. Guthrie's plan of compromise.
This plan received the support of the Com
missioners from Pennsylvania, and those
from a majority of the Border States, slave
and free. Whether they will receive the
support of a two-thirds' vote in either house
of Congress, necessary to send them to the
people for action, is doubtful. Their ado!)•
tion, however, by-the Peace . Congress will
do much to allay the excitement in the
Border Slave States, aml give time for the
fully of secession to work its own cure.
The following are the proposed amend.
memts to the Constitution as adopted by the
Conference:
SECTION. I .-I II all the present territmy
'
of the United States, North of the parallel I
of thirty-six degrees nod thirty minutes of
North latitude, involuntary servitude, ex
cept in punishment of crime, it prohibited.
In all the present territory South of that
line, the status of pet sons held to involun-
tory service or labor, as now exists, shall [
not he changed; nor shall any law be passed i
by Congress or the Territorial Legi,lature
to hinder or prevent the taking of such per- !
sons from any of the States of this Union to •
said territory, nor to impair the rights iris-,
ing from said relation; but the same shall'
be subject to judicial cognizance in the Fed-'
eral courts, according to the course of cog-"
mon law. When any territory North or
South of said line, within such boundary as j '
1
Congress may prescribe, shall contain a pop
Illation equal to that required fir o member
of Congress, it shall, if its form of govern-,
ment be Republican, be admitted into the i
Union on an equal footing with the original ;
States, with or without involuntary servi- '
tilde, as the Constitution of such State may
provide.
Seems: 2.—No territory shall be ac
quired by the United States, except by dis
covery, and fur naval and. commercial sta- j
tions, depots and transit routes, without the
concurrence of a majority of all the Senators
from States which allow involuntary servi- '
tilde, and a majority of all the Senators
from States which prohibit that relation;
nor Olen Territory be acquired by treaty,
unless the votes of a majority of the Sena
tors from each class of States hereinbefore
mentioned be cast as a part of the two-third
majority necessary to the ratification of such
treaty.
&crime 3.—Neither the Constitution nor
any amendment thereof shall be construed I
to give Congress power to regulate, abolish, i
or control, within any State or Territory of '
the United States, the relation established or
recognised by the laws thereof touching
persons held to labor or involuntary service
therein, nor to interfere with or abolish in
voluntary service in the District of Columbia
without the consent of Maryland, and with
out the consent of the owners, or making
the owners who do not consent just compen
sation; nor the power to interfere with or
prohibit representatives and others from
bringing with them to the District of Colum
bia, retaining, and taking away persons so
held to labor or service; nor the power to
interfere with or abolish involuntary service
in places under the exclusive jurisdiction of
the United States within those States and
Territories where the same is established or
recognized: nor the power to prohibit the
removal or transportation of persons held to
labor or involuntary service in any State or
Territory of the United States to any other
State or Territory thereof where it is estab
lished or recognized by low or usage; and
the right during transportation, by sea or
river, of touching at ports, shores, or land
hags, and of landing in case or distress, shall
exist, but not the right of transit in or
through any State or Territory, or of sale or
traffic against the laws thereof. Nor shall
Congress have power to authorize any higher
rate rf taxation on persons held to labor or
service than on hind.
The hringinginto the District of Columbia
persons held to labor or service for sale, or
piecing them in ilepots to he t.fterwards
transferred to other place.; for sale as mer
chandise, i , prohibited,
SECTION 4.—The third paragraph of the
second section of the fourth article of the
Constitution shall not be construed to pre
vent any of the States,.by appropriate le
gislation, and through the action of their
judicial and ministerial officers, from en
forcing, the delivery of fugitives from labor
to the person to whom such service or labor
is due.
SECTION s.—The foreign slave trade is
hereby forever prohibited; and it shall be
the duty of Congress to pass laws to prevent
the importation of slaves, coolies, or persons
held to service or Isibor,in the United States
and the Territories, from places beyond the
limits thereof.
Srcrtos G.—The first, third and fifth
seotions, together with this section of these
amendments, and the third paragraph of the
second section of the fourth Article thereof,
shall not he amended or abolished without
the consent of all the States.
SECTION T.—Congress shall provide by
law that the United States shall pay to the
owners the full value of his fugitive from
labor in all cases where the Marshal, or
other officer whose duty it was to arrest
such fugitive, was prevented from doing so
by violence or intimidation from mobs or
riotous assemblages, or when, after arrest,
such fugitive was rescued by like violence
or intimidation, and the owner thereby de
prived of the some; and the acceptance of
such payment shall preclude the owner ftom
further claim to such fugitive, and Congress
shall provide by law for securing to the
citizens of each State the privileges and
immunities of the several States.
Tneasn.ir, Fen. 2.lsr.—The Senate con
tinued the discussion of the bill for the dig
continuence of postal facilities in the Sece
ding States under certain contingenci es.—
Without taking a vote the Senate went into
executive session, continuing therein three.
hours, and then adjourned until Saturday.
In tho House the Select Committee of
Five submitted a report in relation to the
condition of the Navy and the neglect of the
Department to prepare for the defence of
the Atlantic Coast during the prevalence of
lawless violence. They also censure the
Secretary of the Navy for accepting the yes
ignations of officers of the Nary who were
in arms against than Government. Mr.
Branch, or North Carolina, submitted a
minority report. Time consideration of the
bill empowering• the President to accept the
service of the militia of the States to execute
the laws, suppress insurrections or repel in
vasions, was then resumed. On motion of
Mr. Stanton, the mover of the bill, it was
then postponed until Thursday. The House
then discussed and ordered the previous
qaestlon'on the bill to pay the expenses of
Indian hostilities in Oregon and Washing
ton Territory, and without coming to a vote
adjourned until Saturday.

PRACTICAL. EXPERIENCE 19 BETTE!: TuAN
ENrrnintxrAt. SemNcr..—The science of
medicine, ns practised in hospitals and fam
flies, by nine tenths of our popular physi
cians, is an experimental science. It has no
fiscd immutable principles; it is not founded
on a consistent philosophy. Now mark the
difference between the experinzental remedies
of the profession (which even the great Ala
jendie declares fail more frequently than
they succeed,) and those of Professor nollo•
way, a man who has built up a new system
of medical treatment, in which, as we verily
believe, there is nut a single flaw from its
foundation to its summit.
We have authentic statistics before us,
which show that the annual consumption of
Holloway's Pills exceeds that of all the ad
vertised preparations of the same class at
present before the world. This, of itself, in
a country where the opinion of the majority
is considered entitled to supreme respect,
should be a suffi.:ient warrant of superiority.
But we have seen a still stronger proof of
their ine-timable properties, in the shape of
a copy of the record of certificates and testi
monials of cure received by Professor Hol
loway, directly and through his agents, dur
ing the last five years. The yearly average
almost exceeds belief. It is upwards of
75,000, or more than two hundred per day.
There is no question as to the accuracy of
ibis statement. Most of the documents are
authenticated by legal forms, and the names
of persons distinguished in ecerydepartmcnt
of public life figure in the index to this vo
luminous history of triumphs of a grand
discovery. There is no experimenting here
—no playing at fast and loose with health
and life. It is ono glorious uninterrupted
march of success, in which all internal dis
eases have been attackod and extinguished.
Among the most common and fatal dis
eases incident to our climate, are those
which affect the stomach, the liver and the
bowels. We have seen the effect or nolo.
' way's Pills in cases of this nature, and when
we aver that they are a specific, covering
all the varieties of these complaints, we
"speak what we do know." Permit us, in
all kindness, to recommend all who suffer
from bilious disorders, whether men to or
chronic, to resort at once to . this remedy.—
i It is not our wont to obtrude advice on our
readers, nor is such our intention now; but
we are. so thoroughly convinced of the uni
form efficacy of these Pills, in every disease
that affects the great secretive Organs, that •
we cannot forbear giving them our earnest
endorsement and recommendation.—N..-I
