Till- TUllil Ni: lttll 1857.
The Election Is past, and its results proves that th
work devolved on the Republican party i* not y t eon
j.leted. In all the Eastern Northern portions <>! tin
country—in New-England, NewA ork.Ohioiind the Xortl
West—the Republican banner lioats in triumph : while ii
ftonthem Jer-ev, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois—i
short, wfficrcve'r few* new*p iper* arc taken, and when
common schools are too new and too feeble to have edu
rated the present generation of voters—the black ting <■
Slavery obstructs the aiuishine. A stranger t > Ameri

hie scd with Education, Intellive ice. Thrift and V irtue
bv scanning the returns of the Rre-identi d contest ot
We have failed of pre ent snecess. not he aine the I'e
pie arc against us. but because that large portu n who dii
not hear or read the argument and do not know what
were the real questions at issue, wcntalmost solid igainst
ns, reversins the verdict which the great majority of tin? j
educated and intelligent endeavored to pronounce.
These facts indicate the path of pressing duty. Witl
no until inly repining* over wli.it is icre\ ocalde—with n<
abatement, of heart or hqie borati-e the triiiinph of l.ii.er
tv in her new ordeal is not won at the Long Island am'
White Plains of her struggle—with no shadow of regret
that the responsibility of governing is not eontided toliei
ehampioa* before the People were fully ready to sustain
them—we tiegin afresh the work of diffusing that vital
truth whi 'li. in regard t<> the concern* of this world a*
well as of the next, makes Free indeed. Now. in the
Slave Power's heyday of victory, when it* ministers and
servitor* are gathering and plotting to make the most of
their triumph and " crush out" the spirit whii h they vain-
Iv believe to he crucified and entonila-il—now. wlien the
faint-hearted or cold-hearted who lately basked in the
minshine of our premature hopes are hauling off'to icpaii
da in a ires and talking of abandoning the rugged arena ol
Politics for more quic, and flowery field*—now. in this
hour of weariness and shadow, TUR. TIUBI NK renews its
TOWS of eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over
the bodies or souls of men—to the shameful assumption
that the 1 enighted and feeble, whether in soul or body,
are to lie regarded and treated as the convenience or the
prey of their wiser or stronger brethren—to the d >niina
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 the
cotton-field in Virginia or Alabama.
The doctrine that no human being was ever created for
the benefit or advantage of an-tlier—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 sustenance
and comfort of those near and dear to hiin—is de-tim d to
certain triumph. It mutt prevail, for tool reigns, and
Earth was not created to be a theatre of injustice, oppres
sion and misery for ever, it must triumph : tor all true
prophecy affirms and the vindication of the Divine benig
nity imperatively requires it. it mutt triumph : for De
mocratic America cannot always remain the scoff of aris
tocrats and the shame of reformers and liberals through
out the Old World. It mutt triumph : for Man's histoty
ta not a chaos or a riddle, but everywhere instinct with
meaning ; and no heroic effort ever failed of its effect—no
drop of martyr blood was ever shed in vain.
But even if we Republican* were disposed to fold or.r
twins in shunlieroiir adversaries would not permit it. Tin y
are busy to-day in lengthening their cords and strength
ening their stakes with a vigilance and activity which re
veals a consciousness mi their part that their dominion
must he made sure forthwith or their sceptre will have
forever departed. To-day. mvrmidoms of flic Slave Dow
er threaten and harass Northern Mexico, are encamped
in the heart of Central America and waging a war of ex
termination on the distracted inhabitants of its petty Re
public*. while it by turns leer- and scowls at Cuba, while
its most ruthless hand* are precipitated on devoted Kan
sas, under the protection and *inilcs of the Federal Ad
ministration. Even as we write, the telegraph informs
u* that twenty Free-State men. guilty of attempting to
defend their homes again-! the rapine and violence of Bit
ford's and Titus' blood-thirsty bandits, have been convic
ted by l.ecompte's Court of maiislaughter! and sentenced
to li\e years' imprisonment at hard labor as felon*. This
is but a fair specimen of what has long 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, whom it consigns to the
State prison if they are ever goaded into the madness of
resisting their oppressors. Such crimes and wrongs a
unhnppy Kansas has for twelve months endured, even
Hungary or Roland has never known : and the Rower at
whose instigation the-e villainies were and are perpetra
ted sits enthroned in the White House, and has just
achieved another four years' ascendancy in the Federal
Government. Who, in view of these facts, can say thai
Republicans may now pile their arms, even for an hour ?
THE TRIBUNE will be. a* it has been, a Political Jour
nal—avowedly. though not exclusively so. It recognizes
the truth that Freedom and Slavery are here grappled in
deadly conflict, and that in the result one of them must
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 sinks none of
the characteristics of a Business and Family Newspaper.
The proceedings of Congress, like those in Kansas, will
be watched and reported by an able and fearless corps of
Correspondent-, while from l.ondon. Paris. Constantino
ple, Havana, San Francisco. Albany and other centres ot
interest, our special advices will be. as they have been,
fresh and reliable. A member of our Editorial corps —
Bayard Taylor—i* now in Northern Europe, and will
upend the Winter in Sweden, Lapland. Russia, thence
making his way next season across Siberia and Tartary
to the mouth of the Amour, and thence homeward by the
Pacific and California, unless some change of route shall
promise greater interest and profit to our readers, for
whom alone lie will write regularly throughout his ad ven
turous journey, which is likely th require two years for
its completion. Our reports of the most interesting Lec
ture*. Public Meetings, Ac., w ill be full and reliable, and
our Foreign and Domestic News made up with a careful
regard to the condensation into our ample column* of the
greatest amount of intelligence that is consistent with
the u-c of type of a gene run. size. In short, if we fail to
make Tim TUIBCNE worth its cost, it shall not lie for want
of expenditure or effort.
If it be deemed desirable by Republicans that THE TM
Ursa 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 semi officially ad
monished not to aid our circulation, but to urge instead
that of journals deemed " sound" and " National"' by the
compatriots of Atchison and Stringfollow. We ask live
Republicans everywhere to take care that these efforts he

ky mists of Slavery.

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH.
AND
DIRECT & TO & FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC.MACHINE.
TAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda. respect
fully informs the public that he has lately procured
from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath,
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, u physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the body,
by galvanism ; more recently. M. Verges, of New York,
aii electro-gilder, lett ing suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into bis system in the prosecution of
his art. conceived the idea of removing tin in by the same
processes, he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to oilier- similarly af
fected, with like results. Hi- success exceeded hi- most
-anguine expectations, for not only did these Bath- remove
mineral poisons, but cured many disease-, -nine 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 sy-teni all mi
nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment
of health. Very often persons are afflicted by di-c tse
which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful
physicians, and which arc the effect of poisonous mine
rals accumulating in the system tor years, taken in the
shape of calomel, lend, Ac. Ac.
The following are some of the diseases cured by these
liaths: Rheumatism. Paralysis. Palsy. Painter's Cholic,
Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer,
Xeuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all
kinds.
He lias also S. li. Smith's new! v invented DIREt 'T AND
TO-AND FRO ELE< "fito 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 give- an increa-e 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 Bath*, and also the
Machines, at my hon.-c 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 this place, at mo
derate prices.
I am also sole agent for Bradford countv. for the above
Machines. JAMES HARRIS.
