" l '->r more quie. and flowery field#—now, in thi
hour of wine** and -had.nr. Tiiw TRIBUNE renews it#
vowe of et ■*l hostility to everv form of tvranny over
the bodies or 0 ' of men—tn the shameful aeanniptior.
that tbe benighted "J *V•-to whether in soul or body,
we to bo regarded and treated a* the convenience or the
prey of their wiser or stronger brethren—to tbe domina
tion of despots and oligarchs, whether of empires or plan
tations—to the enslavers of cities and kingdoms, in Europe
or the breeders of children for the auction-block and tni
cotton-field in Virginia cr Alabama.
The doctrine that no human being was ever created for
the benefit or advantage of another—that all service be
tween man and man should be free and reciprocal—that
the laborer should not toil and sweat to pamper others'
pride or minister to others' luxury, but for the su-tcrsnce
and c-omfort of those near and dear to him—i destined to
certain triumph. It WW.I prevail, for God reigns, and
Earth was not created to he a theatre of injustice, opprer
eiou and misery for ever, it MUTT triumph ; for all true
prophecy affirm# and the vindication of tbe Divine benig
nity imperatively requires it. It must triumph -. for De
mocratic America cannot always remain tbe scoff of aris
tocrats ard the shame of reformer? and liberal* through
out the Old World. It must triumph : for Man's history
is not a chaos or a riddle, but everywhere inst'net with
meaning ; and no heroic effort ever failed of itscfiect—no
drop of martyr blood was ever shed in vain.
But even if we Republican? were disposed to fold our
arras in alnmber our adversaries would not permit it. Tht v
are busy to-day in lengthening their cords and strength
ening their .-tikes with a vigilance and activity which re
veals a consciousness on their part that their dominion
rauat be made sure forthwith or their sceptre will have
forever departe d. To iyj*. irynnid.-m* of the blave Pow
er threaten n-d harass Northern Mexico, are encamped
in the heart of Central America and waging a war of 'ex
termination on the districted inhabitants of its petty Re
public.-, while it by turns iters and scowls at Cuba, while
Its mo.-t ruthless bands arc precipitated on devoted Kan
sas. under the protection ami smiles of the Federal Ad
ministration. Even as we w rite, tbe telegraph informs
i.* that twenty Free-State men. guilty of attempting to
defend their home# against the rapine and violence of Bu
ford's and Tit is' Mooj-th'rety bandits, have been convic
ted by Leeompte's Court of manslaughter! and sentenced
to five years' imprisonment at hard labor as felons. This
t but a fair specimen of what has long passed for "jus
tice" Lu Kansas—a justice wlii.-h takes tue criminals into
pay and aids them in hunting down, plundering and
• wiping out" the innocent, whom it consigns to the
State prison if they are ever goaded into the madness of
resisting their oppressors. Such crimes and wrongs as
trahappy Kansas has for twelve months endured, ev en
Hungary or Poland has never known ; and the Power at
whose instigation these villainies were and are perpetra
ted sits enthroned iu the White House, and has just
achieved another four years' ascendancy in the Federal
Government. Who, in view of these facts, can sav thr.t
Republicans may now pile their arms. even for an hour ?
TUE TRIBUNE will be, as it has ht-en. a Political Jour
nal—avowedly, though not exclusively so. It recognizes
the truth that Freedom and Blaver.i are here grappled in
deadly confiict, ami that in the result one of tbe;o must
lore all control over the Federal Government. Rut. while
It gives prominence and emphasis to the (ilßcu.-u.iun ted
elucidation of tbe great issue of tbe day. it fink- none of
t e characteristic? of a Business and Family Newspaper.
The proceeding# of Congress-, like those in Kansas, will
be watched and reported by an able and fearless corps of
Correspondents, while from London, Paris. Constantino
ple, Havana, San Francisco, Albanv and other centres oi
interest, our special advices will he", as they hare been,
fresh and reliable. A member of our Editorial corps—
Bayard Taylor—is now in Northern Europe, and will
spend the Winter in Sweden. Lapland. Russia, thence
making his way next reason a**ron Siberia and Tartarv
to tbe month of the Amour, and tbenre homeward by tbe
Pacific and California, unless some change of route sbnl!
promise greater interest and profit to onr readers, for
whom alone he will write regularly throughout hit adven
turous journey, which is likely to "require two veais for
its completion. Our reports of the most interesting Lec
tures, Public Meetings. Ac., will be full and reliable, and
our Foreign and Domestic News made nr. with a careful
regard to tbe condensation into our ample column# of the
greatest amount of intelligence that is consistent with
the use of type of a generous size. In #b >rt. if we fail to
make THE TRIBUNE worth iu cost, it shall uot be for want
of expenditure or effort.
If it be deemed desirable by Republicans that TUK TM
BUNX should he circulated in their several localities, we
urge tbem to see that Clubs be made up and forwarded
in due sea-on. The Postmasters are semi-officially ad
monished nit to aid our circulation, but to urge instead
that of journals deemed " sound'* and " National'* by the
compatriots of Atchison and rtringfellow. We ak live
Republicans everywhere to take care that these efforts be
not effectual t ■ quench the light of Freedom in the mur
ky mhts of Slavery.

DIRECT & TO St FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE,
I AMES HARRIS, Eiaxthicias. of Towanda. respect
fully informs the public that he ha* lately procured
from New York tile celebrated Electro-Chemical Bnth.
which has proven to be one of the most 'important and
wonderful discoveries of the age. from its ability to extract
mineral* 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
iiis art, conceived the idea of removing them by the -nine
processes, he succeeded in doing *O, and quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to others similarly af
fected, with like re-ults. His success exceeded his most
sanguine expectations, for not only did the. c Batbs remove
mineral poisons, but cured many diseases, some of which
were the result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin
gular power of this Rath to draw from the system all mi
neral* that may be lodged therein, to the greet detriment
of health. Very often person* are afflicted by diseases
which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful
physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine
rals accumulating in the system for year*, taken in the
shape of calomel, lead. Ac. Ac.
The following are some of the disease* cured by the-e
baths: Rheumatism, l'aralysis, Dal*y. I'ainfor'a Dltolie,
Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swelling*, Bcrofr.l.i. Cancer,
Xetiralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humor* of all
kinds.
He ha* also R. 11. Smith's new' v invented DIRECT WD
TO-AND-FRO ELECTRO M VGXETIC MACHI.N E w h
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machine* hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Machine, we
have at command all 'he available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of the Moehuic is v'erv
great, iu introducing medicines into the system through
the pores of the -kin—applying it directly to the pert* af
fected, which give* an increase of medicinal power over
that of taking it into the stomach .rendering it particular
ly efficacious in all local disease*.
I am now prepared to apply these Bath*, and nl*o the
Machiue*. at my house In the"south part of the borough
of Towanda, or I wdl visit patients at a distance, who ifre
unable by reason of disease to come to thi.< pkia . at mo
