GAgBSIE. For the Gazette. The Hydrostatic Bed. Among the many useful articles of recent invention, is the Hydrostatic bed, invented by Goctor Arnolt, of London. To the afflicted partly excoriated or sore from having lain for a long time in one position, this bed will af ford great relief. It ought, therefore, to be brought within the knowledge and reach of every family. Its construction is simple, and might be manufactured in nil our manufac turing towns, and ought to be for sale ill ev ery village. A trough of sufficient length and breadth to contain the patient, (about six feet long and two feet and a half, or upwards, wide) and a foot deep, is prepared, and water put into it to the depth of six or seven inches, and water proof indian rubber cloth plat ed upon it. This cloth is of sufficient size to float on the water aud to admit freedom of motion, is fastened and firmly cemented at the upper part of the trough. A light hair mattress, with pillow and bed clothes, is placed upon the water proof cloth, and the bed is pre pared and ready for the reception of the in valid. The great advantage of this bed is, that the pressure being equalized, is not felt by the patient any where, in like manner as the pressure of the atmosphere, equalized to every part of the body, is not perceptible, al though it is said to be the weight of fifteen pounds per square inch of its surface. The patient, although lying with carbuncles or biles on this bed, with ease may change posi tion, without causing pain, as one in like manner afflicted can move in water without injury to the protuberances. if these Hydrostatic Beds can be obtained, our merchants might do the afflicted some service by bringing one of them for a pattern, and also materials for making them ; for I think it cannot be doubted but our ingenious mechanics can manufacture them equal to the pattern and supply the demand. For the consideration of the more skilled in such matters, 1 wtnild suggest, whether air might not be substituted for water in the con struction of such beds for the afflicted. It so. it appears to me that there would be some advantages in favor of tie Air B<-d, As tl>its is an age of improvement. 1 hop the attention of some may I - arrested on this -übject.

The locofocos boast themsleves to be the es pecial friends of the Compromise and tin- Fu gitive Slave Law. In laying dovrn their plat : ,rm at Baltimore, they siurred over every thing that thev have bo'U in the habit ot enunci ating as principles of their party, and devoted themselves most exclusively to proclaiming these measures a final scttb meiit of the vexed question. In accepting the nomination, Mr. Fierce placed himself on this platform, and locofoco editors ami orators have been busied ever since in singing his praises as a friend < f th" south, and denouncing G MI. Seott and the M'hi" party as abolitionists, in whom no fabh was to be placed because of their late conversion. Me don't propose just now to argue which party has the best claim to the title (d friends to the Coinpronnsi ; but we :Lk our readers to compare the following *x iract - takfn from locoh'Co papers published ui New Hampshire, at Mr Pierce's own door, with his pre.'Tit proiW>o lis and the loud braggadocio of hie friends, and then deter mine for themselves whether that gentleman i- so exclusively sound in leiatiuii to the " pe -I'ili'ir institution." In our humble opinion, it shows conclusively that he wears TWO FACES, •ue for th° north and the other for the south. On the Bth of January last he loathed the law, and his feelings revolted at the giving up of a slave; now he is its exclusive guardian, and in no other hands would its administra tion be safe. Let his friend.; consistently re concile these two adverse opinions, it they can, or forever after hold their peace in rela tion to the abolition feeling of the Whig part v. This will, we think, sufficiently ae ■ ouiit for the upport of Martm and John Van Buren, Rantoul, Preston King and other Locofoco Free Sobers and Abolitionists. I nun the Independent Democrat, puß;iiied at Concord, New HifiipKliiff- At the meeting appointed at N-vv Boston Centre, on Friday afternoon of January 2d, by General Franklin Pierce, to addp;ss the citizens of that town in regard to the difficul ties between himself and a portion ot the democrats of that section, he occupied the first hour of his speech in defending his mili tary character, lie explained the circum stances ot his fainting, and declared that " with the exception of a single occasion, he had led his command in the blaze of every battle." 3 After this he commenced speaking upon the Fugitive Slave Law. 110 said thai it difieied in no important particular from the law of 1793. A clergyman who was present, said, that as the invitation had been given, he would like to make an inquiry : "Do you re gard tho features of the Fugitive Slave Law as consietcnt with common law ?" General Pierce immediately replied: "// I mutt answer the question, I say no, Ido not. I hate been asked if I liked this Fugitive Slave Late. I answered no, I loathed it. I hare a most revolting Jeeiing at the giving up oj a slave ; the late is opposed to humanity." Here Mr. Foss inquired, "If it was not opposed to right as well as humanity ?" Gen eral Pierce replied—" Yes, it is opposed to moral right." The above is the substance of General Pierce's remarks upon the Fugitive Slave f.aw. The quotation marks include the very language used bv the General as taken down at the time it was uttered. Lest any of our democratic friends should not receive the above as a true version of General Pierce's remarks upon that occasion, we clip the following extract from an elabo rate report of the same meeting, in Die -Man chester (N. H.) Democrat of Jan. 8, 18o^.. Ho [Gen. Pierce, who was then speaking, was then asked: " Was either the law of Jo or the present law founded in any degree upon the common law _ .... Gen. Pierce. — 'I can't go into a disquisi tion upon the common law.' The inquiry was then made, "Do you re gard the features of the 1 ugitive ave Daw as cpsistent with the common law Gen. Pierce.—" Well, if I must answer. A r o, Ido not. I have been asked ij I liked this Fugitive Slave Law. 1 answered, no. I have a most revolting feting at the giving up oj a slave; the Fugitive Slave Late is opposed lo humanity. [ Here some one inquired, "Is d net opposed to right .'"] 1 cs, it is opposed to mor al right." Mr. E. U. Shedaker, of Philadelphia, and his son, !!jr<:d about 12 year.-.', were drowned at Cape May last week. EDITORIAL, OLLA PODRIDA. One week the Democrat tells its readers that Greeley a few yeai-3 ago pronounced Gen. Scott a self-conceited coxcomb, and the next that Greeley is now Gen. Scott's confi dant ! A likely story, truly. Then again, when the Tribune, professing to speak only for itself, disavows a certain principle, lo ! it is tortured into speaking for Gen. Scott; but if the Xew York Post disavows the locofoco platform, not only for itself, but for the party, it "is neither here nor there !" Our neigh bor has evidently read the fable of the Farmer and Lawyer's oxen goring each other to some purpose. The Democrat labors hard to show that Pierce is a better compromise man than Gen. Scott, just in the same way that it labored to show Polk was a better tariff man than Clay. Now, if there is anything clear in this mat ter, the position of Gen. Scott is much less equivocal than that of Pierce—for the whig platform was coolly and deliberately adopted and endorsed to the letter by Gen. Scott, while the locofoco was hurried through at the breaking up of their convention, when prob ably not one half of the delegates knew its contents. Besides, although a great ado was made about certain letters to Captain Seott, of Richmond, Va., written previous to the meeting of the National Convention, it is a fact that this same Franklin Pierce, to whom the same queries were addressed as to Cass, Buchanan, has to this day never an swered th°m! Can the Democrat account for this dodging in any other way than a de sire to secure the votes of Fred. Douglass, R. T. Swanson, Martin \an Buren, and oihet distinguish!']. locofoco abolitionists ? A dispatch from Niagara says that the Lundv's Lane Celebration was one of the largest gatherings ever held in this country. The military review, by Governor Mont, wo-" a most splendid ?how, at 1 v. as beheld by full 40,000 spectators. Alter the parade \v;u over, a procession was formed, au 1 proceeded to the grove, where a number of lino speeches were delivered by eminent citizens of various States. Sergeant Thompson, of Ohio, who was at the battle of Lundv's Lane, and left on the field for dead at the conclusion of the bloody struggle, was among the speakers, lie said he was a democrat, but he and scores of Ins friends would go for Seott in prefer ence to any other candidate, though it would be the first whig vote they had ever given. All present were in excellent spirits, and enthusiasm and harmony characterized the entire gathering. The steamer Henry Clay was destroyed by fire on Wednesday last about 20 miles above New York. Twelve or fifteen passengers, among them Mrs, John L. Thompson and two children, of Lancaster, are reportod lost.

CHURCHES OF THE CANDIDATES. —The Pres byterian, a religious paper of high character, publishes a letter, said to be from the pen of Dr. Junkin, from which we ascertain these facts : " General Seott is a Protestant Episco palian, and worships at St. John's Church, Washington. Mr, Graham is by birth and education a Presbyterian, though not a com municant of any church ; and as his lady is a member of the Baptist Church, he worships part of the time, at least, with that denomi nation. General Pierce is by education a Congregationalist, though not a member of the Church. Mr. King is a Protestant Epis copalian in his preferences." GEN. BRADV AND GEN. SCOTT.—A few days before the fatal accident occurred which de {irived the United States service of ono of its brightest and valued ornaments, and Detroit of an endeared and cherished citizen, Gen. Hugh Brady, while he was taking his usual morning walk, was escorted by a gentleman of this city who was about to start for Wash ington, and who, informing Gen. Brady of the fact, asked if he could do any service at the scat of Government. ' Yes,' replied the veteran, ' call on Gen. Winfield Seott, give him my kind regard, and tell him, for ine, that having Lived to see him win every field on which he has fought, 1 hope yet to live to see him win the great Presidential field of tho Union in 1852.' — JJetroit Advertiser.

The. advantages this stand has in location, the j facilities it affords for a convenient and ready ; market for its i cares, together with its very ex tensive patronage, renders it one of the most ; desirable in the country. The WARES manufactured at this establish ! ment are far superior to any other in the six counties, and have a reputation that will ever se- I cure the patronage of the public, from the fact of the material being inexhaustible, and con nected with the concern by a lease of a number of years.

The PERSONAL PROPERTY in connection with the concern, will also be sold, if purchasers desire it. | For further information, apply to the under signed on the premises, or by mail to Lewistown ; P. o. Tiie business will be conducted as here tofore until further notice. All orders prompt -1 ly attended to. and wholesale merchants allowed the usual discount upon the delivery of their or ders.

Valuable Dwelling & Store Stand 3^3:22.11 The subscriber offers jfar*r% {••sSSa *" or Ba ' e two loUofground situate on the corner of ! ,,,, fi329 Diamond, in Reeds ville, Mifflin county, with a large DWELLING and STORE ST.I.YD, Stabling for 8 horses, Kitchen, Wood House, Sinoke House, and other out buildings thereon erected.

The store stand is undoubtedly one of the best in the country, being situate on the great avenue (the Centre and Kishaeoquillas Turn pike,) on which hundreds of thousands of bush els of grain are annually taken to market; the new turnpike frorp Milheim, iri Centre county, intersects the Centre and Kishaeoquillas road between the store and tavern, and this, now nearly finished, will largely increase the busi ness—so that lew places offer more inducements to an enterprising business man than this. The location in other respects is highly favor able—being six miles from Lewistown, but a short distance from Brown's well known Mills, convenient to Schools and Churches, and an un surpassed valley beyond, whose thrifty popula tion daily pass the door. It was last occupied by Win. J. Glass, deceased. ITf 1 * A further description is not deemed ne-r cessary, as persons desirous of purchasing will of course call and examine for themselves.
