THE TUIT.I NE FOR 157.'
The Flection U pat. and its results proven that the:
work devolved on the Republican party is not yet eorn |
pletcd. In all the Eastern and Northern portions of the j
enuntry—iu New-England. Nw York .Ohio and the North
\W-t—the Republican banner floats in triumph : while in j
Southern Jersey. Pennsylvania. Indiana and Illinois—in (
short, wherever few newspapers are taken, and where j
common schools are too new and too feeldc to have edu
ettted the present generation of voter*—the Mack flap of J
Slaverv obstruct* the sunshine. .V -tranaer to America I
might distinguish those portions of onr mo*t
ble.scd with Education. Intelliponre. Thrift and Virtue, j
hv srar.nlnp the returns of the Presidential coutc-t of 1 *56.
We have failed of present snece-.*, not because the Peo
ple arc against us. but because that larpe portion who did
not hear or read the argument and do not know what
were the real questions at issue, went almost solid against i
us. reversing the verdict which the preat majority of the |
educated and intelligent endeavored to pronounce.
These facts indicate the path of pressing duty. With j
no unmanly repining* over what Is irrevocable—with no \
abatement "of heart or hope beeanse tbc triumph of Liber- j
tv in her new ordeal 1* not won at the Long Island and ;
White Plains of her struggle—with no shadow of regret t
that the responsibility of governing i* not. confided t-'ht-r i
champion* before the People were fullv ready to sustain |
thetfl—we tie gin afresh the wok of diffusing that vital !
truth which, in regard to the concerns of tlii* world as j
well as of the next, makes Free indeed. N"tv. in the!
Slave Power's bevday of victory, when its ministers and j
servitors are gathering and plotting to make the most "f !
their triumph and " crush out" the spirit which they vain- j
1 c believe to he crucified ar.d entombed—now. when the j
fiint-hearted or cold-hearted who lately basked in the j
sunshine of onr premature hope* are hauling off to repair •
damages and talking of abandoning the ragged arena of I
Politics Tor more quie< and flowery fields—now. in this i
hour of weariness ar.d shadow. Tin: TRIBUNE renew* its ;
vows of eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over |
the bodies or souls of men—to the shameful assumption
that the benighted and feeble, whether in soul or body, j
arc to be regarded and treated a* the convenience or tbe ]
prey of their wiser or stronger brethren—to the domina- >
tion of despots and oligarchs, whether of empires or plan- !
tations—to the enslavers of cities and kingdom* in Europe ]
or tbe breeders of children for the auction-block and tlie j
cotton-field in Virginia or Alabama.
The doctrine that no human being was ever created for j
the benefit or advantage of another—that all service be- j
♦ween man and man should tic free and reciprocal—that i
the laborer should not toil and sweat to pamper others-'
pride or minister to others' luxury,but for the sustenance '
and comfort of those near and dear to him— is destined to i
certain triumph. It must prevail, for God reigns, and
Earth was not created to be a theatre of injustice.oppres- :
sion and misery for ever. It must triumph : tor all true j
prophecy affirms and the vindication of tbe Divine benip- ;
nity imperatively requires it. It must triumph : for Pe- !
mocratic America cannot always remain the sctf of aris- ,
toe rats and the shame of reformers and liberal* through- j
out the Old World. It must triumph : for Man's history
is not a chaos or a riddle, but everywhere instinct with
meaning ; and no heroic effort ever tailed of its effect—no i
drop of martyr blood was ever shed in vain.
But even if we Republicans were disposed to fold our ■
arms in slumlier our adversaries would not permit it. They
are busy to-dav in lengthening their cords and strength
ening their stakes with a vigilance and activity which re- ;
veal* a consciousness on their part that their dominion
must he made sure forthwith or their sceptre will have
forever departed. To-day, mvrmidoms of the Slave Pow
er threaten and harass N'orthorn Mexico, are encamped
in the heart of Central America and waging a war of ex
termination on the distracted inhabitant.- of its petty Re
publics, while it by turns leers and scowls at Cuba, while i
its most ruthless bands are precipitated on devoted Kan- i
sas, under the protection and smiles of the Federal Ad
ministration. Even as we write, the telegraph informs
us that twenty Free-State men. guilty of attempting to j
defend their homes against the rapine and violence of Bu- !
ford's and Titus' blood-thirsty bandits, have been convic
ted by Lecompte's Court of manslaughter! and sentenced
to five years' imprisonment at hard labor as felon*. This ;
is but a fair specimen of what has lung passed for " jus
tice" in Kansas—a justice which takes the criminals into
pay and aids them in hunting down, plundering and
•• wiping out" the innocent, whoin it consigns to the |
State prison if they are ever goaded into the madness of ;
resisting their oppressors. Such crimes and wrongs as j
unhappy Kansas has for twelve month* endured, even !
Hungary or Poland has never known ; and the Power at !
whose instigation these villainies were and are pirpetra- !
ted sits enthroned in the White House, and has just (
achieved another four years'ascendancy in the Federal j
Government. Who, in view of these facts, can say that ;
Republicans may now pile their arms, even for an hour ?
THE TRIBUNE will be, as it has lieen. a Political Jour-I
nal—avowedly, though not exclusively so. It recognizes
the truth that Freedom and Slavery are here grappled in j
deadly conflict, and that in the result one of them must j
lose all control over the Federal Government. But. while :
it gives prominence and emphasis to the discussion and ;
elucidation of the great issue of the day. it sink.- none of '
the characteristics of a Business and Family Newspaper.
Tbe proceedings of Congress, like those in Kansas, will
be watched and reported by an able and fearless corps uf
Correspondents, while from London, Paris, Constantino
ple. Havana, San Francisco, Albany and other centres of ■
interest, our special advices will be, as tliey have been,
fre-h and reltable. A memlier 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 season across Siberia and Tartnrv
to the mouth of the Amour, and thence homeward by the
Pacific and California, unless some change of route -hall
promise greater interest and profit to onr reader*, for
whom alone be will write regularly throughout his adven
turous journey, which is likely to "require two years for
its completion. Our reports of the most interesting Lec
ture*. Public Meetings, Ac., will be full and reliable, and
our Foreign and Dome*tic News made up with a careful
regard to the condensation into our ample columns of the
greatest amount of intelligence that i. consistent with
the use of typeof a geuerons size. Iu short, if we fail to
make THE TRIBUNE worth its cost, it shall not be for want
of expenditure or effort.
If it lie deemed desirable by Republicans that THE TRI
BUNE should be circulated in their several localities, we
urge them to see that Clubs be made up and forwarded
in due season. The Postmasters are seml-officiallv ad
monished not to aid our circulation, but to urge instead
that of journals deemed " sound" and " National" bv the
compatriots of Atchison and Stringfellow. We a*k live
Republican* everywhere to take care that the*e efforts be
not effectual to quench the light of Freedom in the mur
ky mists of Slavery.

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH
! DIRECT & TO Sc FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
TAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN, of Towards, respect
fully informs the public that he lias lately procured
! from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath.
| which has proven to be one of the mist 'important and
: wonderful discoveries of the age. from its ability to extract
minerals frem the human system.
Some eight years ago. a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the hdv.
by galvani-m ; more recently M. Verges, of New York,
an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
I poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
his art. conceived the idea of removing them by the same
processes, be succeeded in doing so. and qniekl v 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 these Baths 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 Bath to draw from the system all mi
nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great d< triinent
of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases
which are bevond the comprehension of the most skilful
physicians, and which are the effect of pnisonou* mine
ral's accumulating in the system for years, taken in the
shape of calomel, lead. Ae. Ae.
The following ire some of the disease* cured by these
baths; Rheumatism. Paralysis. Pal*v, Painter's Cholic.
Chronic Ulcers. Glandular Swellings, Scrofula. Cancer.
Xeiiralia in all its forms. Salt Rheum and Humors of all
kinds.
He has also S. B- Smith's newly invented DIRECT AND
TO-AND-FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE, which
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 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 disease*.
1 am now prepared to apply these Rath*, and also the
I Machines, at my house in the south part of the borough
of Towanda. or I will visit patients at a distance, who are
unable by reason of disease to come to tins place, at mo
derate prices.
I am also sole agent for Bradford count v, for the above
i Machines. JAMES HARRIS.
