    DEBATE IN THE SENATE.
Concluded from First Page.
ctl to br changed and subverted in these mod
ern times. Sir, it a< no cause for a diss'olu
tion of the Union in 178',l ; it was none in 18-
20 ; it is none to-day ; and in my judgment it
would lead to no such consequences.
But it is said that four of the northern States
united to keep out of power this party, aud
among them the State of Illinois is named.—
Sir, the State of Illinois indorses no such sen
timents as those avowed by the Senator from
Virginia. Von could, not get the friends of
Mr. Buchanan in IlliuoH to discuss the ques
tion of the expansion of sl.ivtry. They said
that Kansas would be a free state ; that it was
a libel on them when we charged that the ef
fect, the purpose, the object of the repeal of
the Missouri compromise was to ojen Kansas
to slavery. They said. " Slavery will not go
there ; Kansas will be a free State ;" and they
discussed other questions, and were very far
from dismissing this question of the expansion
of slavery. The great party which it is said
has triumphed, was not willing to put itself on
that issue ; but we find it at Cincinnati over
turning and casting aside all the veterans who
had done service in the Kansas-Nebraska fight,
and taking up another gentleman, simply be
cause lie had not been mixed up with it—a
gentleman who had been abroad, who had
nothing to do with the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise and the opening of Kansas to sla
very. He was nominated for that reason ;
and it is as apparent as the noonday sun, that
if he had been identified with that measure he
could not have bccu elected. Take the State
of Illinois, which Mr. Buchanan has carried,
but not by a majority vote ; he is in a minori
ty in that State of nearly thirty thousand.—
Thirty-seven thousand votes were east in that
State for Mr. Fillmore. The speakers in his
favor denounced the repeal of the Missouri
compromise, denounced the extension of sla
very into Kansis, as oponlv, as strongly, and
as boldly as did airy supporter of Colonel Fre
mont ; but they insisted that Mr. Fillmore was
the better man for the Presidency. They cast
their votes for him under that impression.
But how was it when a man was brought up
identified with the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, and the opening of Kansas to slavery?
How was it when Colonel Richardson came
before the people of Illinois as the nominee of
the Buchanan party for Governor—a man who
had taken an active part in the repeal of the
Missouri compromise—ami there came up in
opposition to him a gentleman who was oppos
ed to the Kansas-Nebraska bill ? The respec
tive conventions which nominated these gentle
men passed resolutions on this subject. The
one nominating Colonel Richardson indorsed
the Nebraska bill ; the other nominating Col.
Bissell denounced and condemned it. Who is
elected ? Colonel Bissell triumphantly, and
the whole Republican State ticket ; and that,
too, notwithstanding the fact that there was a
Fillmore ticket voted for.
I>o yon claim Illinois as indorsing the repeal
of the Missouri compromise and sustaining the
administration of Franklin Pierce ? If he had
been the candidate, or any man identified with
him in his policy, he would have been beaten
as badly as was the man in the instance where
there were but two persons iu Illinois running
for a State office, that of State Treasurer. It
so happened that we had but two candidates
for that office. One was Mr. Moore, "honest
John Moore," as he has been called, the old
treasurer, a popular man, and deservedly so,
but identified with the party which approved
the repeal of the Missouri compromise). Against
him the Republican candidate was Mr. Miller,
who was elected by more than twentv-onc
thousand majority. Here, where there were
but two candidates running, von see what was
the public sentiment of that State on this is
sue. Although its electoral vote is cast for
Mr Buchanan, it is cast by a large minority
of the voters of the State. So it is on the
congressional ticket ; a majority of thousands
is given for the Republican candidates. J
protest that the State of Illinois never has in
dorsed and never will indorse the spread of
slavery over free Territories. The only diffi
culty which we had was in getting the people
to decide upon that issue. The trouble was
that we could not bring up the opposite party
to the advocacy of those doctrines which are
proclaimed here in the Senate. If we had been
able to do so, and could we have had the bene
fit in the State of Illinois during the canvass
of the speech which the Senator from Virginia
has delivered here to-day, I think that even
the electoral vote of Illinois (though so cast
now by a minority of its voters) would not
have been cast for Mr. Buchanan.
I shall take another time when I have had
a further opportunity to examine this message
of the President, to comment further upon it.
On the present occasion I will not longer de
tain the Senate. My object in rising was
chiefly to protest against " the baseless assump
tions" in this message, and the (as I think)
unwarranted assumptions made by Senators
here when they undertake to attribute to the
great Republican party, which sustained Col.
Fremont, any hostility to the rights of any of
the States of this Union, or to the institution
of slavery in any of the States
On motion of Mr. AVILSON, the Senate
adjourned.
TRAPPING MICK. — The number of mice may
be very materially reduced by trapping them.
They arc very readily caught. The little
wooden traps, with a strong yoke rising over
a round hole iu the side, can be bought very
cheaply. They arc retailed for about 3 cents
each, when having but one hole and for six
cents with two holes. Two or three dollars
will purchase a hundred of the single-hole
traps. These baited with a bit of cheese, or
cheese-rind, and distributed around an orchard,
will thin out the mice very rapidly. We have
a lot of them about the dwelling, garden. Ac.,
and find them more effectual, and less annoy
ing, (especially o' nights,) than a gang of cats.
American Agriculturist, Xovtmbtr.
"If yon ever think of marrying a widow,
my son," said an anxious parent to his heir.
" select one whose first husbaud was huug ;
that is the only way to prevent her throwing
his memory in your face, and making annoying
comparisons." " Even that won't prevent it,"
exclaimed a crusty old bachelor ; " she'll then
praise him, and say hanging wookl be too good
for you V
Jfca?* A Western editor thus delivers him
self ;—" We would say to the individual who
stole our shirt off the pole, while we were ly
ing iu Ud waiting for it to dry, that we sin
cerely hope thai the cojlar may eut his

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
DIRECT & TO-&.-FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
TAMES HARRIS, ELKTTItn IAN, Of Towanda, respect
fully informs the public that lie has lately procured
from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Rath,
which has proven to be one of the most'important and
wonderful discoveries of the age, from its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Some eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the body,
by galvanism ; more recently, M. Verges, of New York,
an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
liis art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same
processes, he succeeded in doing so. and quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to others similarly af
fected, with like results. His success exceeded his most
sanguine expectations, for not only did tbe-c Bath* remove
mineral poisons, but cured many diseases, some of which
were the result of miucrals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin
gular power of tins Bath to draw from the system all mi
nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment
of health. Very often persons are affiieted by diseases
which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful
physicians, and which are tlie effect of poisonous mine
rals accumulating iu the system for years, takeu In the
shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac.
The following are some of the disease* cured by these
baths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Pa!*y, Painter's Cliolic,
Chronic Ulcers. Glandular Swellings, Scrofula. Cancer.
Xf.ura.lia in all Its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all
kinds.
He has also P.B. Smith'snewlv invented DIRECT AND
TO AXD-FRO ELEt Tito MAGNETIC M ACHIN'E, which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Machine, we
have at command all the available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is very
great, in "introducing medicines into the system through
the pores of the skin—applying it directly to the parts af
fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over
that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly efficacious in all local diseases.
I am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the
Machines, at my house in the" south part of the borough
of Towanda, or 1 will visit patients at n distance, who are
unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo
derate price*.
1 am also sole agent for Bradford county, for the alsire
Machines. JAMES HARRIS.
